Car runs under truck; 3 airlifted, 4 injured

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Three people were airlifted from the scene of a wreck involving a car and an 18-wheeler in the Biggersville area Wednesday night.

It happened about 6:30 p.m. on County Road 409 as the driver of the 18-wheeler was returning home and attempting to park his rig. Deputy Lucas Wooten said the trucker was backing the

truck into his driveway.

“The car was westbound on 409 and ran right into the trailer,” said Wooten.

The car went under the trailer, resulting in entrapment. Wooten said it is unclear if the driver simply did not see the truck or what may have caused the car not to stop.

“The truck driver did have all his lights and everything was in working order,” the deputy said.

The car contained two males and two females. Three from the car were flown to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo and the fourth went to Magnolia Regional Health Center.

The truck driver was not injured.

Wooten said names will be withheld pending completion of the accident report.

Officials were on scene until about 8:30 p.m.

Art competition winner announced

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

More than 25 area students and their teachers visited Long-Lewis Ford-Lincoln on Thursday as the dealership announced the winner of its window art competition.

Select art students from Alcorn Central, Biggersville, Corinth and Kossuth took part in the contest sponsored by Long-Lewis. Each school used up to four windows at the company to display art.

“We gave them some criteria for their display like they had tie in their school, the Ford emblem and a Christmas theme,” said Internet Manager Jeremy Hartnell, who headed up the competition. “Schools had two weeks to complete their project.”

Once the murals were completed, Hartnell posted photos of each mural on the dealership’s Facebook.

The school with the most likes at the end of the contest won.

Corinth High School took top honors with 448 Facebook likes, followed by Alcorn Central High School with 265 likes, Biggersville High School with 186 likes and Kossuth High School with 74 likes.

The Corinth students were awarded a $500 check for their winning mural of the movie

“Elf,” which featured an oversized version of the Will Farrell character in his trademark green elf uniform and a depiction of CHS inside a snow globe.

“We’re so thankful for Long Lewis for asking us to participate,” said CHS art teacher Jennifer LeGoff.

“The students had so much fun working on this project and even more fun asking friends and family to vote.”

LeGoff said the students shared ideas and designs, before the class voted on the final design.

When CHS art students heard about the competition they couldn’t wait to get started.

“It sounded so cool,” said 18-year-old CHS senior Tetra Tyes.

“I started thinking about ideas immediately.”

Tyes was quick to mention the entire group helped with the product.

“It was a team effort,” she said. “All seven of us and Mrs. LeGoff worked in the cold and rain to get it done.”

Other CHS students who assisted in the mural included Renee Prulhiere, Baylee Howard, Sydney Warren, Elizabeth Whitehurst and Erin Overholt.

After awarding CHS its winning check, Hartnell had good Please see ART | 2A

Superintendents: Gap in funds pinches schools Associated Press

JACKSON — School superintendents say that because Mississippi isn’t fully funding its education formula, their districts have fewer classroom aides, larger class sizes, outdated computers and aging buses.

The Center for Education Innovation released a report Thursday calling attention to what districts say are real-world consequences of not enough money. The report collected examples of pinched budgets from five school districts — Cleveland, East Jasper, Hattiesburg, Jackson and McComb.

The Mississippi Ad-

equate Education Program calculated state aid to local districts. Lawmakers have only fulfilled the formula’s demands twice since it was enacted in 1997. Over the last six years, appropriations have fallen more than $1.25 billion short.

For the 2015 budget, the formula calls for $2.35 billion. Legislative leaders are recommending holding funding flat at $2.13 billion, leaving a $215 million gap.

That gap would actually be $28 million smaller than in the current budget year because the formula underwent a once-every-four-years recalculation. Districts

used in the calculation spent less during the recession, cutting down the amount the formula calls for.

Rhea Williams-Bishop, executive director of the Center for Education Innovation, said the impact of shortfalls “get lost in the numbers and the statistics.”

The Cleveland district, said Superintendent Jacquelyn Thigpen, has eliminated teacher aides in second grade, and is sharing them among first-grade classrooms.

She said kindergarten classrooms can have as many as 25 students, up from the 20 that she prefers.

lyn Godwin, Brylee Donald and Tanner Hall.

The art teacher was Jodi Hajek.

Long-Lewis supplied a quartet of white, black, red, green, yellow, blue and brown paint. Plastic bowls and a ladder were also provided by the business. Each school furnished their brushes and other items needed for their display.

“This was a great step in the right direction for our area when talking about getting the schools more involved in the community,” said Corinth School Superintendent of Education Lee Childress. “It gives the public a chance to see what talented young people we have.”

Alcorn School District Superintendent of Education Gina Rogers Smith agreed.

“We love for our students work to be on display,” she said. “This is such a high traffic area ... hopefully everyone understands how important the arts are by seeing these student’s hard work.”

Hartnell, along with Long-Lewis Finance Director Allen Martin, are already planning this year’s competition.

“Instead of relying on Facebook likes for votes, we are going to add a canned food drive and award one point per canned item donated,” said an excited Hartnell.

“Social media will still play a big role, but the votes will be calculated solely on the can food items received.”

Hartnell said more details on the 2014 competition will be announced soon.

news for the other three schools.

“We wanted to do something for everyone who participated and not just the winner,” Hartnell noted. “So we decided to give Alcorn Central, Kossuth and Biggersville a check for $200 each for their participation.”

Students who worked on the Alcorn Central mural included Dustin Parker, Katelyn Miller, Hilary Price, Cassie Miller, Sam Mullins and Allie Holley.

Kossuth students were Nina Warren, Dakota Pittman, Chris Dilworth and Olivia Cooley. The art teacher for Alcorn Central and Kossuth was Crystal Bryde.

Funds contributed to the Junior Auxiliary of Corinth remain in the Corinth/Alcorn area to underwrite the various projects conducted by the local chapter.

Emphasis is placed on children, and many benefit from the activities of this enthusiastic group of women.

Projects include providing sleepers and blankets to babies born at Magnolia Regional Health Center, new school clothing for approximately 250 needy children, and scholarships for local students needing financial assistance to advance their education.

In area schools, members reach children by providing art classes for elementary students, free vision screenings for all 5th graders, and meeting with middle school girls to provide role models and build self-esteem.

Local civic groups and individuals are encouraged to participate in the nomination of the individual to receive recognition as Outstanding Citizen of 2014 by submitting their nomination by Saturday, Feb. 15.

those who are considered unsheltered.

A sheltered homeless person resides in an emergency shelter, transitional housing, hotel, or other publicly or privately paid location.

An unsheltered homeless person is defined as someone who lives in an area unsuitable for human habitation, such as a car, park, sidewalk, abandoned building, street, bridge, or wooded area.

Currently, there are over 2,300 homeless people residing in the state of Mississippi.

An awareness luncheon was held on Jan. 8 at Crosswind in hopes that local agencies and ministries would pick up the cause. Participants were asked to sign volunteer forms and directions were given on how to complete the 2014 PIT Orientation Quiz.

Homeless surveys and handouts were given to the representatives of each organization.

Instructions were simple–count the homeless that enter your agency during the count and have them complete a form.

“Encourage them to give you the information, but if they don’t want to give it, don’t take it,” said Capps.

The main question asked should be, where did you sleep on Sunday and Monday night?

At the luncheon, Capps urged everyone to be aware and “have their antennas up.”

He reported that three families have come forward in the last few days and that there was unfortunately no room for them.

They were placed on a waiting list and offered assistance until spots become available.

Crosswind has received approximately 100 applications per year.

Of those applications, that have been able to help around 20 families.

“Many times I feel overwhelmed, like my contribution did nothing,” said Capps as he addressed the crowd.

The grants would go a long way in remedying the situation.

(For more information regarding the PIT count, visit www.muteh.org.)

CROSSWIND CONTINUED FROM 1A

26, to 12 a.m. Monday, Jan. 27.

The goal of the survey is to gain emergency state funding so that Crosswind can further their efforts and extend their ministry’s outreach.

Crosswind has applied for two ESF grants, the Continual Care Grant and The Emergency Care Grant.

Two years ago, Tupelo received the grant. Residents are hopeful that Corinth will be chosen as this year’s recipient.

“It will take God’s good grace, money and time,” said Bobby Capps, executive director of Crosswind.

Each year, a few communities are selected and a “vertical slice” is taken.

The data gathered during the survey is sent to federal legislators.

It serves as a reflection of those who are without shelter in the state on any given night.

According to MUTEH, there are two types of homeless people.

There are those classified as sheltered and

Today in history Today is Friday, Jan. 10, the 10th day of 2014.

There are 355 days left in the year. Â

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 10, 1914, Utah grocer John G. Morrison, 47, and his son Arling, 17, were shot to death in their Salt Lake City store; police arrested labor activist Joe Hill, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World. Despite evidence suggesting another man was responsible, Hill was convicted and executed, becoming a martyr to America’s organized labor movement. Â

On this date: In 1514, the New Testament portion of the Complutensian Polyglot Bible, featuring parallel texts in Greek and Latin, was completed in Madrid.

In 1776, Thomas Paine anonymously published his influential pamphlet, “Common Sense,� which argued for American independence from British rule.

In 1861, Florida became the third state to secede from the Union.

In 1863, the London Underground had its beginnings as the Metropolitan, the world’s first underground passenger railway, opened to the public with service between Paddington and Farringdon Street.

In 1870, John D. Rockefeller incorporated Standard Oil. In 1901, the Spindletop oil field in Beaumont, Texas, produced the Lucas Gusher, heralding the start of the Texas oil boom.

In 1920, the League of Nations was established as the Treaty of Versailles went into effect.

In 1946, the first General Assembly of the United Nations convened in London.

In 1957, Harold Macmillan became prime minister of Britain, following the resignation of Anthony Eden.

In 1964, Vee-Jay Records released “Introducing... The Beatles,� an album which ran into immediate legal opposition from Capitol Records, which was about to come out with its own album, “Meet the Beatles!� (After a court battle, the two companies reached a settlement.)

In 1971, “Masterpiece Theatre� premiered on PBS with host Alistair Cooke introducing the drama series “The First Churchills.� French fashion designer Coco Chanel died in Paris at age 87.

In 1984, the United States and the Vatican established full diplomatic relations for the first time in more than a century. Â

Ten years ago: North Korea said it had shown its “nuclear deterrent� to an unofficial U.S. delegation that visited the disputed Yongbyon nuclear complex.

Michelle Kwan won her seventh straight title and eighth overall at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Atlanta; Johnny Weir skated to his first men’s title. Actor-writer Spalding Gray, 62, vanished from his New York apartment (his body was found two months later in the East River).

Novelist Alexandra Ripley died in Richmond, Va., at age 70.

Five years ago: Vice President-elect Joe Biden arrived in Afghanistan, where he pledged long-term American support. Tens of thousands of people demonstrated in cities across Europe and in Lebanon against the Israeli offensive in Gaza. The aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush was commissioned with its namesake, the 41st president, and other members of the Bush family on hand for the ceremonies at Naval Station Norfolk.

THE NATURE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD- DOES IT MATTER? In December, I showed by numerous scriptures that the “everlasting kingdom of God� began early in the first century A.D. and that Jesus has been reigning as King over it for around 1980 years. Some of those same scriptures proved the kingdom is spiritual in nature, not physical. Stated negatively, Jesus is not going to reign on the physical throne of David over a physical earthly kingdom. He IS reigning on the spiritual throne of David over His spiritual kingdom right now. (acts 2: 29-36) “What does it matter?� someone asked. “Whether we believe in a physical or spiritual kingdom- as long as we believe.� Does it matter, dear reader? Yes! Truth always matters! If something is true and attainable, it is to our advantage to know it.

Take the case of Herod, king of Judea when Jesus was born. Herod was alarmed because he believed that Jesus was going to become the physical king of the Jews (Matthew 2:1-3). He tried to get the wise men to inform where Jesus was, under the pretense that he wanted to worship Him. The truth was, he wanted to kill Him to eliminate Him as a competitor to the physical throne (Matthew 2:7-15). When Herod could not find the exact location of the infant Jesus he sent soldiers to Bethlehem and all its districts to kill every male child from two years old and under, in the vain effort to murder Jesus (Matthew 2:16-21).

Now, back to our question, What does it matter? Don’t you see, dear reader, if Herod had understood the spiritual nature of the kingdom, he surely would have known that Jesus reigns in the hearts of men (Luke 17:21; John 18:37).

Stated another way, if you and I had heard the deep lamentation of those poor mourning mothers in Bethlehem, could we have callously asked, What does it matter? The nature of the kingdom of God more than just matters- it is extremely important in the formation of our attitudes toward each other and toward the truth itself (Matthew 13:19; 20:2028; Luke 18:16-17) Did you know that one prophecy of the Old Testament says that Jesus (by His own law) cannot sit upon the physical throne of David? We will discuss that scripture next Friday.

NEMCC adopts 4-day week In a move designed to provide its students with more flexible scheduling options, Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Board of Trustees unanimously adopted a four-day-per-week instructional calendar for the 2014-15 academic year at its monthly meeting Dec. 17.

Beginning in August 2014, Northeast students will attend class four days per week instead of the traditional five. There will be no classes scheduled on Fridays, however, the college administrative offices will be open and maintenance staff will use the day free of the student population and traffic to tend projects that otherwise would have to be postponed.

The exact schedule for non-instructional personnel has not been finalized.

Currently, four other Mississippi community colleges, Meridian Community College, East Mississippi (Scooba), Holmes (Goodman) and Mississippi Delta (Moorhead), operate on some form of a four-day work week.

In his recommendation to the Board, Northeast President Dr. Johnny L. Allen said the effect the alternate schedule would have on Northeast students was the primary concern he and his staff had as they worked through the process of developing the new calendar. “Originally, we looked at the

four-day work week as an avenue by which we could conserve energy and therefore save on utilities,�

Allen explained. “However, as we continued to conduct research and have discussions, we continued to ask ourselves how the change would affect our students. We feel the four-day class schedule will allow students more time to prepare for those classes, as well as tend to their business on campus or outside the educational realm such as taking on more employment hours.�

Under the new calendar, 2014 fall semester day and evening classes begin Monday, Aug. 14. The traditional holiday schedule remains relatively unchanged.

BancorpSouth buys Pay lags for state’s bank in Louisiana government workers Associated Press Associated Press

TUPELO — BancorpSouth has announced an agreement to acquire Monroe, La.-based Ouachita Bancshares Corp. and its main subsidiary, Ouachita Independent Bank.

It’s BancorpSouth’s first acquisition since 2007, the company says in a news release Wednesday.

BancorpSouth officials said OIB reported total assets of $652.5 million, loans of $477.8 million and total deposits of $549.7 million on Dec. 31, 2013.

Under the agreement, BancorpSouth will issue a maximum of 3.6 million shares of common stock plus $22.875 million in cash for the outstanding charges of Ouachita Bancshares. The terms of the agreement provide for a collar with respect to the total deal value ranging from $99 million to $112 million. If necessary, the share count will be adjusted downward or the cash consideration adjusted upward to accommodate the respective boundaries of the collar. “This transaction will give us the opportunity to significantly enhance our market share in both the Monroe-West Monroe and Shreveport-Bossier City markets. It will also provide

an opportunity to enter the Bastrop market, a market which we’ve not previously served,� said Dan Rollins, Chief Executive Officer of BancorpSouth.

The merger has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is expected to close during the second quarter of 2014.

The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the approval by OIB’s shareholders and regulatory approval. The merger is expected to be completed by the second quarter of this year. “BancorpSouth is a great cultural fit with an operating style that is very similar to that of our company.

Both banks have a longstanding reputation for their commitment to the communities they serve as well as the customerfocused models that both operate. We believe these core fundamental similarities will make for a very seamless and successful transition over to the BancorpSouth team,� said Kevin Koh, Chief Executive Officer of Ouachita Independent Bank.

OIB has 12 full-service banking offices in Louisiana, with six in MonroeWest Monroe, four in Shreveport-Bossier City and two in Bastrop.

JACKSON — Mississippi government employees make an average of $9,108 less than their counterparts in the surrounding states of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee, said the Mississippi State Personnel Board director Thursday.

Deanna Mosley told lawmakers that for the budget year that ended June 30, the average in Mississippi was $34,506.

The four states’ average for equivalent jobs during that time was $43,614.

Mississippi government employees’ most recent across-the-board pay raise was approved during the electionyear legislative session of 2007. It’s unclear whether lawmakers will consider a raise this year. The next election is in 2015.

The Personnel Board oversees 34 percent of Mississippi government employees, including those who work for the Division of Medicaid, and the departments of health, transportation,

human services and marine resources.

Employees not covered by the Personnel Board work for schools, community colleges, universities, the Legislature and the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

That means some of the higher salaries in state government those of university football coaches and physicians at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, for example are not calculated in the average of $34,506.

Mosley said 62 percent of the employees overseen by the Personnel Board earn less than the average.

She also said state government has a relatively high turnover rate, particularly among employees younger than 40. She said 67 percent of employees left state jobs after less than five years, and training new employees can be expensive.

Mosley told members of the House Appropriations Committee that 43 percent of state agency leaders will be eligible to retire within five years.

Corinth, Miss.

Other view

Getting behind Common Care State Superintendent Carey Wright put it simply enough: the Mississippi Board of Education is moving forward with Common Core, and she doesn’t see that changing anytime soon.

Furthermore, Gov. Phil Bryant and legislative leaders all have said the state should move forward with the adoption of the education standards. They have acknowledged the concerns, reiterated that they would not stand for federal interference in state education curriculum and tried to assuage the fears of Common Core opponents.

But it seems as if all the explanations and myth-debunking surrounding Common Core has done nothing to change the minds of those who continue to beat the drum for rejection of Common Core. Today, at the state fairgrounds and again at the state Capitol, a group opposed to the educational standards are rallying in suppor! t of a bill a handful of state senators plan to file that would use the force of state law to reject Common Core.

It’s logical for people to have questions and concerns about new programs, especially something as vast and paradigm-changing as Common Core. Furthermore, it’s illogical to believe that such a program would have universal support from lawmakers or education advocates. However, the real trouble with the opposition to Common Core is that it seems politically driven by a small group of lawmakers who are using the issue in an attempt to leverage political strength.

Where were these lawmakers when Common Core was first adopted by the state?

Where were they two years ago? Last year?

Common Core is not new to Mississippi. In fact, Wright says that nearly every district in the state has implemented Common Core standards in grades K-8, with many having adopted the standards fully in grades K-12.

Testing begins with the 2014-15 academic year, when full impleme! ntation must be complete.

Furthermore, some of the claims coming from Common Core opponents make little sense. Common Core is not a federally mandated curriculum that Mississippi must adopt. It is a set of educational standards by which every student will be graded, and Mississippi schools - district by district, not even from the state level - will set their own curriculum.

That curriculum will be aligned in such a way as to educate students according to those standards, but that is no different than any other set of educational standards adopted by the state. Until Common Core, Mississippi - and every other state - aligned its curriculum to standards that would be judged by the set of state tests they chose. Common Core which is far more rigorous than the current standards - aims at providing a more uniform standard of measuring educational achievement across the country. That’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s beneficial to people who move from state to state, whether for work, military assignments or personal reasons. It also g! ives Mississippi educators the opportunity to see exactly how our students measure up to other states in a far more specific manner.

Perhaps the most important reason to move forward with Common Core is something Wright pointed out: Under the current set of standards, Mississippi ranks 48th or 49th in the country in educational obtainment. Why would we continue to do the same thing that has failed us in the past?

Fear of the unknown is understandable.

Sadly, so is political posturing. But the latter has no place in the conversation over Common Core.

Mississippi classrooms are moving forward with Common Core. The best thing we can do now is all be active supporters of educators and children. If Common Core succeeds, then we’re all the better for it.

Prayer for today God of justice, may I pause to remember that while I may do a mean act and keep it hidden from others, I cannot keep it hidden from myself, nor from thee. Help me to have a nobler sense of the quality of life, and less anxiety for the quantity, that I may avoid harshness and selfishness, and be given to tenderness and justice. Amen.

A verse to share “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.”

-- Proverbs 8:17

Bye, Bye Phil Everly One mark of a good song is that it makes Billboard’s top 10 list. An even greater indicator is its staying power; whether it is remembered decades after it was a hit. Perhaps the highest accolade is whether the artist influences other musicians. All of these standards were met by the singing duo the Everly Brothers, one of whom, Phil, has died days shy of his 75th birthday.

At age 16 I was a disc jockey for a suburban Washington, D.C., radio station. I hosted a weekend music program called “The Top Fifty Show.” The Everly Brothers were always at or near the top of my list.

Phil and Don Everly squeezed into the public consciousness for only a few years between 1957, the year before Elvis Presley left a gaping hole in pop music when he entered the Army, and the arrival of The Beatles, who more than filled that void beginning in 1964. The brothers’ music survives, not only in its own right, but because of its influence on other acts, including The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Linda Ronstadt, Simon and Garfunkel and Bob Dylan.

The music was danceable, the lyrics understandable and the sentiments Cal memorable.

Thomas My generation “inventColumnist ed” rock and roll. While some of it was sexually suggestive, it avoided coarse language and left much to young imaginations. Not all of us, including me, understood at the time what Fats Domino meant when he sang “I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill.”

Wonderfully handsome with good stage presence and great hair, Phil and Don expressed in their music what was in the hearts of teenagers. “All I Have to Do is Dream” is about a guy who loves a girl and can always be with her in his dreams.

Two of my favorites remain “That’s Old Fashioned” and “Wake Up Little Susie,” because they appealed to a moral code that has not been followed in many years, especially in popular music and culture.

In “That’s Old Fashioned,” Don and Phil sing:

“It’s a modern changing world, everything is moving fast; But when it comes to love, I like what they did in the past.

I’m the kind who loves only one, so the boys say I’m old-fashioned.

Let then laugh, honey, I don’t mind.

I’ve made plans for a wedding day for you and me.

That’s old-fashioned, that’s the way love should be.”

Phil didn’t practice what he sang. He married three times and struggled with drugs, but the standard remains a good one in an age of singers whose performances would be shameful to most people alive in the ’50s.

In “Wake Up Little Susie,” the brothers sang about a boy and girl on a movie date. They fall asleep in the car and when they wake up at 4 a.m., the boy fears they may be in trouble with her parents: “What are we gonna tell your Mama What are we gonna tell your Pa? What are we gonna tell our friends When they say, “Ooh la

la!”

There is also this: “The movie wasn’t so hot It didn’t have much of a plot We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, Our reputation is shot.”

Who worries about reputation today? What followed in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s was music containing foul lyrics, explicit sex, hatred of parents, gangsta rap about killing the police, misogyny.

I doubt that those who listened to it will proudly play the music of their lives for their grandchildren as my generation can.

From an Everly Brothers song that wasn’t a hit comes a lyric that those who love the Everly Brothers might say fits Phil’s passing: “There’ll be a day you’ll want me only But when I leave, I’ll be a long time gone...”

That day has arrived.

While Phil may be gone, his and Don’s music endures.

What artist could ask for more?

Income inequality vs. jobs Led by President Obama, progressive Democrats are making “income inequality” the cornerstone of campaigns leading to November elections. In his speech on December 4, President Obama said, “the relentless decades-long trend that I want to spend some time talking about today, and that is, a dangerous and growing inequality and lack of upward mobility that has jeopardized middle-class America’s basic bargain that if you work hard, you have a chance to get ahead.

I believe this is the defining challenge of our time: making sure our economy works for every working American.”

No one is opposed to “making sure our economy works for every working American.” However, President Obama voices a common misconception as his premise: “middle-class America’s basic bargain that if you work hard, you have a chance to get ahead.”

legislation progressives promised would end poverty in America through Danny government Gardner p r o g r a m s .

Today the Columnist poverty rate is essentially the same as it was in 1965.

President Obama spoke of the “decades-long trend” that began in the mid-60s when progressives passed massive legislation that has cost taxpayers $15 trillion, but has had no effect on reducing poverty.

American history is filled with stories of people rising out of poverty. Some through education, others through connections, and still others working in companies that offered opportunities for advancement.

The notable thing about all these success stories is people advanced from one standard of living to higher standards of living by getting better jobs. In other words, it’s not enough to

work hard if you are working in a job that offers no chance of advancing.

Currently 46 million Americans are living in poverty as defined by the government. According to a recent annual Census report, in 2011 the poverty rate for those who worked full time was only 2.8 percent, but the poverty rate for those working less than full time was 16.3 percent. The poverty rate was 32.9 percent for those who didn’t work at least one week in the year.

The key to helping people get out of poverty is helping those who can work get jobs, and helping those with part-time jobs get full-time jobs with opportunities for advancement.

The goal should not be to reduce the inequality of income gap, but to help those at the lower end get on career paths leading to more rewarding jobs.

President Obama’s own hallmark legislation, the Affordable Care Act, which progressive Democrats promised would provide affordable healthcare for

all Americans, is projected to cost taxpayers trillions more dollars.

So far the ACA has caused more than 6-million people to lose health insurance while the highest estimates say only 2-million people have signed up for health insurance.

Businesses are cutting full-time workers back to part-time status, and economists predict tens of millions more will lose health insurance when businesses drop employer-provided health benefits due to ACA incentives. In essence, the ACA, passed solely by Washington’s elite progressive Democrats, is costing workers hours, jobs, and benefits while failing to help the uninsured get affordable insurance.

Maybe we’d be better off if progressive Democrats stopped trying to help us?

Drug probe tempers morale effort F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hoping to boost sagging morale, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel made a rare visit Thursday to an Air Force nuclear missile base and the men and women who operate and safeguard the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Minuteman 3 missiles. But his attempt to cheer the troops was tempered by news that launch officers at another base had been implicated in an illegalnarcotics investigation.

Two officers at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana are being investigated for allegations of drug possession, said a service spokesman in Washington, Lt. Col. Brett Ashworth. Both of those being investigated are ICBM launch officers with responsibility for operating intercontinental ballistic missiles.

The launch officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; access to classified information has been suspended, and they have been prohibited from serving on missile launch control duty while the Air Force is investigating, another defense official said.

That official provided no further details and spoke only on condition of anonymity because he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t authorized to discuss the matter publicly by name.

At the Wyoming nuclear missile base, meanwhile, Hagel addressed officers and airmen after a series of security lapses and discipline problems that

Scandal could hurt Christieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image

Obama continues to weigh NSA policy

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has become a Republican star by casting himself as a brash, straight-talking politician who transcends partisan politics to work for regular people. But the escalating traffic jam controversy that has ensnared his administration could damage the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national reputation and allow opponents to portray him as a ruthless bully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am who I am. I am not a bully,â&#x20AC;? Christie declared during a lengthy news conference Thursday in which he apologized for the closing of highway lanes leading up to the George Washington Bridge last fall, a move apparently orchestrated by his underlings as political retribution.

The governor fired a top aide, jettisoned his chief political adviser and took responsibility for his administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connections to the traffic tie-ups in September.

Christie adamantly denied any personal â&#x20AC;&#x153;knowledge or involvementâ&#x20AC;? in the lane closures, a passionate pronouncement that satisfied some critics in the short term but creates political risk amid an ongoing investigation. Democrats and Republicans said the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 presidential prospects could be severely undermined, if not crippled,

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama is still grappling with key decisions on the future of the National Security Agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone collection program and the makeup of the secret court that approved the surveillance, congressional lawmakers said Thursday following a 90-minute meeting at the White House.

Obama is expected to back tighter restrictions on foreign leader spying and also is considering a presidential commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation to strip the NSA of its ability to store telephone records from millions of Americans. The president could announce his final decisions as early as next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The president and his administration are wrestling with the issues,â&#x20AC;? Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and privacy advocate, said after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to say that the next few weeks are going to be crunch time in terms of judgments being made in both the administration and the Congress.â&#x20AC;?

Rep. Adam Schiff, DCalif., said the meeting focused in particular on the telephone data program and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. He said that while Obama didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to have made a decision on either issue yet, he expects him to do so soon.

2 other MSU dorms to be repaired soon STARKVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mississippi State University officials say one wing in Ruby Hall will be closed for the entire spring semester while repairs to Oak Hall and Magnolia Hall could be completed in a few days.

The three dormitories suffered water damage this week after subfreezing temperatures ruptured pipes and flooded the structures.

In Ruby Hall, the dormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire suppression system ruptured in the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B wing, causing severe damage. Similar incidents occurred in the other two dorms but produced less damage.

MSU officials originally estimated the damage would displace about 450 students from the three dorms, but new assessments released Wednesday put that figure at about 120.

Department of Defense to share rocket facilities when possible to save tax money, according to a report issued by NASA Inspector General Paul Martin.

The agency is spending the money to upgrade the B-2 test stand at the John C. Stennis Center and Martin said that will be more expensive than the two existing options. Â

Home invaders target blind man PLEASANT GROVE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities in Pike County say an 86-year-old blind man was knocked to the ground Monday by intruders who tried to rob and kidnap him.

The Enterprise-Journal reported the incident was the fourth home invasion in Pike County in the past month.

Deputies said they were called to the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house at about 6 p.m.

Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief investigator Bruce Fairburn said the man thought a friend

was bringing him dinner when he answered a knock at his carport door.

When he opened the door, two men pushed their way in and demanded money, Fairburn said.

Fairburn said the victim told the intruders he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any money and that they could search his house.

The two then told the man he was coming with them and he resisted.

In a struggle, the victim suffered head and wrist injuries.

The man told deputies he heard one of the intruders say to the other, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put your gun to his head.â&#x20AC;?

He screamed, and the men fled, Fairburn said.

The victim called a neighbor who then alerted authorities. An emergency medical team was called to treat the victim.

Fairburn said the suspects are likely men who live in the area and knew that the victim was a vulnerable target.

NASA criticized for upgrade plan Officials at NASA have admitted that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow their own rules and agreements when the agency spent $352 million to refurbish a test stand in Mississippi when cheaper ones were available in Huntsville, Ala. and in California.

Jobless legistlation stalls in Senate WASHINGTON — Legislation to resurrect long-term jobless legislation stalled in the Senate on Thursday, triggering angry recriminations from both sides of the political aisle despite earlier expressions of optimism that benefits might soon be restored for more than 1 million victims of the recession.

Gridlock asserted itself after majority Democrats offered to pay for a 10-month extension of a scaled-back program of benefits — then refused to permit Republicans even to seek any changes.

Instead, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Republicans of “continually denigrating our economy, our president and frankly, I believe, our country.”

Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana, one of a halfdozen Republicans who helped advance the bill over an initial hurdle earlier in the week, said he hadn’t been consulted.

Echoing complaints by other members of his party, he said that under Reid’s leadership he has been relegated to the sidelines. He added that Indiana voters “didn’t send me here to be told just to sit down and forget it.”

At issue was a struggle over the possible resurrection of a program that expired on Dec. 28, immediately cutting off benefits of roughly $256 weekly for more than 1.3 million hurt by the recession.

Are we becoming weather wimps?

WASHINGTON — We’ve become weather wimps.

As the world warms, the United States is getting fewer bitter cold spells like the one that gripped much of the nation this week. So when a deep freeze strikes, scientists say, it seems more unprecedented than it really is. An Associated Press analysis of the daily national winter temperature shows that cold extremes have happened about once every four years since 1900.

Until recently.

When computer models estimated that the national average daily temperature for the Lower 48 states dropped to 17.9 degrees on Monday, it was the first deep freeze of that magnitude in 17 years, according to Greg Carbin, warning meteorologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

That stretch — from Jan. 13, 1997 to Monday — is by far the longest the U.S. has gone without the national average plunging below 18 de-

grees, according to a database of daytime winter temperatures starting in January 1900.

Activist poet Amiri Baraka dies at 79 NEW YORK — Amiri Baraka, the militant man of letters and tireless agitator whose blues-based, fist-shaking poems, plays and criticism made him a provocative and groundbreaking force in American culture, has died. He was 79.

His booking agent, Celeste Bateman, told The Associated Press that Baraka, who had been hospitalized since last month, died Thursday at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.

Perhaps no writer of the 1960s and ‘70s was more radical or polarizing than the former LeRoi Jones, and no one did more to extend the political debates of the civil rights era to the world of the arts. He inspired at least one generation of poets, playwrights and musicians, and his immersion in spoken word traditions and raw street language anticipated rap, hip-hop and slam poetry. The FBI feared him to the point of flattery, identifying Baraka as “the person who will probably emerge as the leader of the Pan-African movement in the United States.”

Sheriff: Shooting appears justified MONTICELLO — Lawrence County Sheriff Joel Thames says information on a weekend shooting that left a Monticello man hospitalized will be presented to a grand jury.

The Enterprise-Journal reports that 50-year-old David Howell is in stable condition at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg.

Thames says no charges have been filed against 40-year-old Jerry Darrell King, the other man involved in the incident, because the shooting appears to be justified under the castle doctrine law.

Thames says Howell was shot after going to King’s house. He says the two had been involved in a longstanding feud. Thames says King’s girlfriend, who was present, called 911.

JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from a Scott County man convicted in a 2010 slaying.

The state Court of Appeals upheld Timothy Joseph Patterson’s murder conviction and life sentenced. Patterson was convicted in Scott County in 2011 in the death of 28-year-old Michael Guy. Prosecutors say Guy was shot to death on May 9, 2010, at a home in Morton where Patterson and others were watching a fight on television.

Defense attorneys say Patterson never intended to harm Guy. The Appeals Court rejected Patterson’s arguments that his attorney should have done a better job and that prosecutors didn’t prove his guilt.

JACKSON — The 31st Infantry Division once comprised 21,000 members who served in World War I, World War II and the Korean War. Gene Bagwell, a Korean War veteran who describes himself as one of the babies of the group at age 81, tells The Clarion-Ledger that only a few hundred members of the division remain.

A monument to the

31st was being dedicated Thursday in Jackson on the grounds of the Woolfolk State Office Building across from the State Capitol.

Bagwell says there are 19 chapters in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, but so many of members have died that many chapters exist in name only.

Bridge of Sighs project approved NATCHEZ — The City of Natchez’s Bridge of Sighs project has been approved by a local preservation commission.

The Natchez Preservation Commission on Tuesday approved a conceptual design by landscape architect Jared Acy. The Natchez Democrat reports that the project had been delayed for past couple of months after the commission asked the City of Natchez for more detailed plans for the bridge.

The Bridge of Sighs will replicate a now-gone pedestrian bridge at the top of Silver Street. It will allow pedestrians to use the Natchez Trails to cross the street rather than fight traffic. The project has received two $100,000 grants, one from the Federal Highway Administration and another from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.

City Engineer David Gardner has said the project involves using a prefabricated bridge, meaning it will be built off-site by a manufacturer and assembled on location.

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My relationship with my mother has always been challenging. When she could no longer grab me by the hair and shake my head, she adopted inappropriate behavior with my boyfriends, called me stupid, worshipped my brothers and sister-in-law over me, and much more.

The final straw came in a telephone conversation. My mother said she was tired from being out the other day with a friend. She asked, “Do all old people get tired when they go out?” I didn’t want to compare her with my father, who works hard and had visited me earlier that week. I replied, “All old people age differently.” My mother then commenced some heavy and deliberate sighing that lasted the remainder of the call while I tried to make conversation. I politely said goodbye.

When it was time for me to make my annual call to her, I picked up the phone and started to dial but hung up before reaching the last number. I have not called my mother since. That was three years ago. My mother is now 83. I do not believe I am holding a grudge, although that has been suggested to me. I am just so hurt and ashamed that my own mother would reject me the way she has. When is it OK to say

Annie’s Mailbox enough? — Don’t Miss Her Dear Don’t: The final straw was a phone call where Mom mostly sighed? And after three years, you are still angry. We recognize that Mom mistreated you when you were younger, but you spoke to her only once a year. It’s not a grudge so much as an inability to deal with Mom’s behavior, and it remains unresolved, which mostly hurts you.

Ask yourself how you would feel if Mom died without any further contact. If that bothers you even slightly, please talk to a professional and find a way to work through this, whatever the outcome.

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 15 years. It seems that if I don’t initiate sex, we never have any. I have told her what I would like, but she shows no interest. She just lies there and neither moves nor makes a sound. I don’t know whether I am giving her any pleasure.

I have discussed my concerns with her and

have asked what she would like in the bedroom, but she always says, “Everything is fine. I like what we do.”

I am frustrated. I really love my wife and don’t want to end the relationship, but I have been having thoughts about finding another lover who will fulfill my needs in the bedroom. Please help. — Not Sure What To Do Dear Not Sure: Your wife may feel inhibited about sex, which is why she is silent in the bedroom and won’t discuss her preferences. It’s also possible that she doesn’t enjoy sex, for physical or emotional reasons, and has no interest in working at it. Instead of talking about likes and dislikes, tell her that her stoic reaction to sex saddens you and that it is threatening the stability of your marriage. Ask her to go with you to see a marriage counselor or a professional sex therapist.

Stockpiles growing?

Jobs monitor

U.S. wholesale businesses increased their stockpiles in October by the most in two years as their sales rose sharply.

Rising stockpiles are consistent with economic growth because it means factories are producing more goods. Robust restocking drove roughly half of the 3.6 percent annualized economic growth in the July-September quarter. Did the trend continue in November? Find out today when the Commerce Department reports its latest data on wholesale inventories.

The government reports its latest payroll figures today.

The U.S. economy added 203,000 jobs in November, up from 200,000 the previous month. A report Wednesday from payroll processor ADP showed U.S. businesses added the most jobs in a year in December, powered by a big gain in construction work. Economists expect the government to report that employers created 196,000 jobs last month.

Daily Corinthian • Friday, January 10, 2014 • 9A

Portrait of man’s late wife clouds couple’s life together DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of two years, “Clint,” recently brought a large framed picture of his deceased wife into our home. He placed it on his dresser in front of framed photos of us together.

His wife died three years ago.

We are living together in a condo Clint bought for me. He made it clear from the beginning that he didn’t want to move me into “her house.”

Clint also still wears his wedding ring. He carries guilt and doesn’t seem to have made closure. I told him I don’t feel comfortable with her picture “looking at us.” He doesn’t think there should be a problem. Should I move on? -- IN THE SHADOWS DEAR IN THE SHADOWS: That Clint still wears his wedding ring tells me he may not have accepted his wife’s death. How sad for him.

Ask him to move his wife’s picture to a room other than the bedroom because, while he doesn’t think it’s creating a problem, it is creating one for YOU. If he can’t bring himself to do that -- and join a grief support group -- then you should consider moving on.

DEAR ABBY: Enough with the problems! It’s time you printed a positive letter.

I’m an active, friendly senior who lives alone, but I’m not lonely.

I have many friends of all ages and a devoted family. Why? Because as I traveled through many Abigail states durmy life, I Van Buren ing reached out to people Dear Abby along the way.

The saying, “If you want a friend, be a friend,” is true. If we want friends, we can’t sit back and wait for people to come to us. Smile, speak up, pay a sincere compliment -just communicate! If you do, the majority of people will respond positively.

I socialize with people my age in church circles, card clubs and dining-out groups who can’t understand why I’m always so busy.

They don’t reach out except to people they already know. As people get older, that group is constantly shrinking. Join a religious group, community clubs and organizations. Volunteer to read at schools and libraries.

Visit a senior group or center.

Many people of all ages fear they won’t be accepted. But if they show up with a friendly attitude, they will be. You have to contribute -- whether it’s with a smile, an opening remark or

some other welcoming gesture.

I served in the military, taught Sunday school, led Girl Scouts, garden clubs, church and neighborhood groups while following my husband through eight states and raising three children. My husband was often away in his business, but we had a strong, supportive marriage. He joined me in many activities when he could be home.

I think many people have forgotten we must give in order to get. When we reach out to others, most of the time those people reach back. -- NOT LONELY IN WOODSTOCK, ILL. DEAR NOT LONELY: It’s easy to see why you have a wide circle of friends. Your positive energy leaps off the page.

There are two types of people in the world: those who come into a room and their attitude says, “Here I am!” and those who come into a room and their attitude says, “There you are!” You are one of the latter. If people want a warm welcome, they should keep in mind that the happier they are to see others, the happier others will be to see them.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll be attending an event. If this experience were a book, you would skip some of it -- namely the filler that feels bloated with too many details. You can afford to skip that part in real life, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll be dealing with people you don’t necessarily agree with or even like, but you still have to figure out how to best manage the interaction. One sure recipe for success: honesty, levity and a smile.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Everyone wants to be understood, and yet most people barely understand themselves -- so how can they understand anyone else? Your talent for clearing up misunderstandings will be in high demand.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s a time to get lean and mean in terms of a project or something to do with your lifestyle. This will lead to positive results. Simplicity and economy are your best defenses. Downsize before you

are downsized.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Just because something is not hard doesn’t mean it’s easy. What’s worth doing today will take a few simple steps. The extreme repetition of those steps will be what makes for a successful outcome.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Here’s the straight truth: You are compromising too often and too much. Instead of starting off with what you think the other person will go for, start off with what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One of the secrets of your success is that you use the words “our” and “we” often. Standing for your group, even if it’s only a group of two, will start a wonderful string of events.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Do what you want to do today.

There will be people whose needs compete with yours and other reasons for subverting your interests, and all are manageable if you have the will. Get

on your own side.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Being around the same person or people for too many hours and days in a row could bring out a less than optimum side of you.

Arrange to get away. You deserve this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll have a string of welltimed interactions, and this is not only because the universe is on your side these days. It’s also because you are observant and you follow your intuition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

It won’t matter to you whether you have a little or a lot. What will matter is that what you have is your own. If you have the choice, you’d rather have very little and be able to call it completely yours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Everyone needs novelty in their day, though few have the guts, talent and ideas to provide it.

That’s where you come in. You don’t mind if they laugh – it means you did your job right.

Verlander has core muscle repair surgery Associated Press

DETROIT — Tigers ace Justin Verlander underwent muscle repair surgery Thursday after injuring himself last month during offseason conditioning.

Dr. Bill Meyers in Philadelphia performed the operation on Verlander, who is expected to need six weeks of rehab before being evaluated again.

The first workout for Detroit’s pitchers and catchers at spring training is scheduled for Feb. 14. The first spring training game is Feb. 25 against Florida Southern.

“We fully anticipate Justin to participate in spring training and be in a position to compete at the beginning of the 2014 season,” general manager Dave Dombrowski said in a statement.

The team did not identify the “core muscle” that was repaired, but called the surgery successful. Verlander turns 31 on Feb. 20.

The Tigers said Verlander hurt himself at the end of December. There was also a message posted on Verlander’s Twitter account: “Thanks for the support regarding my surgery today,” it said.

Corinth squads sweep opening night

BY ANSON KEITH For the Daily Corinthian

The Corinth Warrior basketball team has a long running history of winning the Alcorn County Tournament.

They have won 14 of the last 15 tournaments, while Keith Greene has only lost once in what is now his ninth season as head coach of the men’s squad.

The 7-time defending ACT champions opened up play in the annual tournament Thursday night against the Kossuth Aggies and did so in championship fashion, defeating the No. 4 seed 83-45.

Corinth won all three games, with the junior-var-

sity boys routing Biggersville 65-25 in the first game at the Crossroads Arena.

The Lady Warriors set the stage for the sweep by knocking off the top-seeded and defending champion Lady Aggies 51-44.

The Warriors (14-2) got out to a quick 10-point lead in the first quarter and never looked back as Kendall Stafford shot the seams off the ball hitting all four of his shots in the opening quarter.

Corinth’s stifling defense only allowed the Aggies to score 19 points in the first half. Kossuth (8-9) was held scoreless in the contest until Weston Bobo, who had nine

of the Aggies’ first 23 points, broke the drought at the 4:12 mark.

It was pretty much all she wrote at that point as the Warriors increased their lead every period from then on.

Stafford ended the game with 15 points shooting 5-7 overall and 4-of-6 from behind the arc and six rebounds.

Freshman guard Trae Burcham was right behind him with 12 as the youngster hit an amazing 4-of-6 from the three-point line.

Justin Mills led the way for the Aggies scoring a gamehigh 20 points, leaving Bobo second with 13.

Corinth will take on the

winner of the Biggersville/ Alcorn Central game, taking place tonight, in Saturday’s championship game.

(G) Corinth 51, Kossuth 44 Kossuth avenged a setback to Alcorn Central on Tuesday, but the defending champions weren’t able to reach the title game for a 52nd time since 1950.

The 4th-seeded Lady Warriors (5-8) jumped out to a 14-6 lead after one and held off the top-seeded Lady Aggies (15-3) in the second of three semifinal games Thursday.

Team effort leads Ole Miss past Auburn Asociated Press

OXFORD — Playing without its leading scorer, Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy worked hard at crafting an offensive strategy that would still allow his team to compete.

Not much of it worked, but the Rebels figured out a way to win anyway.

Derrick Millinghaus scored 16 points, Jarvis Summers added 14 and Ole Miss rallied to beat Auburn 65-62 on Thursday night in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

It wasn’t particularly pretty. The Rebels were outrebounded by a large margin, had a rough night from the free-throw line and struggled to get defensive stops in the

final few minutes.

But the win is all that matters. Ole Miss had lost four of its last seven games coming into Thursday.

“The result is ultimately what shows progress,” Kennedy said. “We’re in a resultsoriented business, so for that I’m excited.”

Aaron Jones added 12

points, seven rebounds, five blocks and five steals for the Rebels (10-4), who were playing without suspended leading scorer Marshall Henderson. LaDarius White added 10.

Ole Miss has won five straight in the series against the Tigers. The Rebels won despite being outrebounded 40-30 and giving up 19 offensive rebounds.

Auburn (8-4) was led by Chris Denson’s 28 points while KT Harrell added 11.

Harrell missed a 3-pointer that could have tied the game on the final possession.

The loss snapped the Tigers’ four-game winning streak.

“I’m really proud of this

group for battling, battling and battling to find a way to win a hard-fought game,” Kennedy said.

Henderson was suspended a total of three games — the season opener on Nov. 8 against Troy, the Auburn game and Saturday’s Mississippi State game — for onand off-the-court issues during and following last season.

It was quickly apparent that the Rebels would miss Henderson’s scoring ability — especially from the perimeter. Ole Miss did enough to take a 31-28 halftime lead, but lost it early in the second half after a stretch of just two points in seven minutes.

No. 14 Kentucky wakes up in second half Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky.— Practicing twice a day since Kentucky last played on Dec. 28 figured to yield some benefits for James Young and the Wildcats.

Young scored 15 of his 26 points before halftime, and No. 14 Kentucky used hot shooting to rally from a halftime deficit and beat the Bulldogs 85-63 on Wednesday night.

“If I’m open, they just told me to shoot it,” Young said.

“They’ve got a lot of confidence in me, a lot of confidence in my shot. If I’ve got the open shot, I’m going to take it.”

Young shot 8 of 18 from the

field to lead Kentucky, which made 49 percent overall (30 of 61).

The Wildcats (11-3) played for the first time in 11 days and

started slow offensively, trailing 40-37 at the break. They regrouped to tie the game at 47 with 16:47 remaining before going on a 27-6 run over

the next 10:54 for a 74-53 lead.

Kentucky shot 65 percent in the second half to pull away in the SEC opener for both schools. Mississippi State (104) went nearly 9 minutes without a field goal as it lost for just the second time in seven games.

Willie Cauley-Stein and Alex Poythress each added 12 points for the Wildcats. Julius Randle grabbed 14 rebounds to go with eight points.

Craig Sword’s 19 points led the Bulldogs, who shot 23 of 57 from the field (40 percent).

Vanderbilt AD: Franklin remains coach Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt athletic director David Williams says James Franklin remains the Commodores’ football coach as of Thursday afternoon and that Franklin has informed him that he has not accepted another job offer.

Several media outlets have reported that Franklin has an offer from Penn State that he is expected to accept it within 48 hours, or as early as Thursday afternoon.

Williams told The Associated Press that he has heard all of the reports and knows that Penn State officials have been talking with Franklin.

“He called to let me know

the reports that he had accepted another job were inaccurate,” the Vanderbilt athletic director said. “And I didn’t ask anything more than that nor did he volunteer anything more than that.”

Williams said he met with Franklin on Tuesday night, spoke with him on Wednesday and again Thursday. As of 2:45 p.m. EST Thursday, Williams said that Franklin “is Vanderbilt’s football coach.”

“If there is something that’s going to happen, I’m sure he’ll be in touch with us,” Williams said.

Vanderbilt had only one winning season since

1982 before Williams hired Franklin in December 2010.

The Commodores also had only four bowl berths before Franklin arrived, and he now has taken them to three straight bowls.

Franklin is 24-15 in his three seasons as Vanderbilt’s head coach, matching Dan McGugin for the most wins in school history over a coach’s first three seasons.

The Commodores are 16-4 over the past 20 games, second in the SEC only to Alabama. Vanderbilt won the final seven games of 2012 and the final five of 2013 in a stretch that also includes back-to-back bowl wins.

Vanderbilt has gone 9-4

each of the past two seasons and finished in the final Associated Press rankings each of these two seasons, including No. 24 in the poll released Tuesday. Vanderbilt hadn’t finished in the final AP poll before Franklin arrived since 1948 under Red Sanders.

Franklin was given a contract extension in December 2012 designed to keep him at Vanderbilt for years to come. Asked if Vanderbilt has worked to restructure Franklin’s deal since the Commodores beat Houston in the BBVA Compass Bowl on Jan. 4, Williams said they have an ongoing process to remain competitive.

Mississippi boasts fertile junior college crop Associated Press

Division I football coaches have traveled across the state of Mississippi to recruit the talented Junior College talent over the past year.

The Sun Herald’s Top 50 list of JUCO prospects are spread throughout the state, ranging from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College to national champion East Mississippi CC, with stops between Pearl River CC and Jones County JC. The Big Three, Alabama, West Virginia, Illinois, Penn State and Arizona are among the player’s college choices. The mid-year signing period began

Dec. 18 and ends on Jan. 15.

“Mississippi once again lived up to it’s reputation of being the best JUCO league in the country,” BigGoldnation.com Publisher Lanny Mixon said. “They proved it on the field and on the recruiting trail with another bumper crop of top quality prospects.

“This year’s JUCO class in Mississippi provided a number of top quality mid-year transfers and a large number overall of high quality Division I prospects.”

Steve Robertson of Scout. com is impressed with the depth in the Class of 2014. By

the time National Signing Day rolls around on Feb. 5, 70 players will land at either a FBS or a FCS (Formerly Division I-AA) school.

“There is always talent to be found in the Mississippi juniorcollege system, but this looks to be an especially solid year,” Robertson said.

Bulldogs bark loud Gulf Coast, which finished ninth in the NJCAA poll, has 10 players ranked in the Top 50. The Bulldogs (8-2) are undergoing a coaching transition, as Chad Huff replaces Steve Campbell.

Bulldogs wide receiver

D’haquille Williams is the Sun Herald’s top-ranked recruit.

The Auburn signee is also ranked No. 1 nationally by both 247sports.com and Rivals.com.

“He’s a dynamic player that can run, catch and do all the things it takes to be a great receiver,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said on Day One of the mid-year signing period.

Gulf Coast cornerback Derrick Moncrief also signed with Auburn, which narrowly lost to Florida State in the BCS title game. Malzahn praised the coverage and hitting skills of Moncrief, ranked seventh by the Sun Herald.

We had 18 turnovers and too many of them are unforced.”

Daily Corinthian • 11A

REBELS CONTINUED FROM 10A

Auburn’s backcourt of Harrell and Denson ranked one-two in the SEC in scoring coming into Thursday’s game, but foul trouble kept Harrell off the floor for a big chunk of the second half, so the offensive load fell to Denson.

The 6-foot-2 guard

responded brilliantly, pouring in points from all over the court, though he missed his final five shots in a 10-of-25 performance. The problem was he didn’t have much help.

That allowed the Rebels to stay close. Ole Miss pushed ahead on back-toback buckets by Jones — one on a 15-foot jumper and the other on a dunk

— to give the Rebels a 6257 lead with 1:42 remaining.

Jones also had a huge block with 25 seconds left, swatting away Malcolm Canada’s layup attempt that would have made it a one-possession game.

“It’s a big sigh of relief,” Jones said. “We’ve been losing a lot of (close)

games.”

Ole Miss’ offensive performance without Henderson was a mixed bag.

The Rebels were 7 of 14 (50 percent) from 3-point range, but just 12 of 21 (57.1 percent) on free throws.

It’s a disappointing loss for the Tigers, who had played their best basketball of the season coming

the floor after spending a lot of time together over the semester break working on many aspects of the game. He got his wish in the final 20 minutes as the Wildcats shot better, hitting 17 of 26 from the field, and had 12 of their 18 assists.

“They hit some shots early and we were missing a lot of shots,” Poythress said. “We should’ve been more focused on defense.

That’s how we gave up 40 points in the first half and that’s way too much.

“In the second half, we started guarding, started defending and tried to hold them.”

More importantly, the Wildcats knocked down shots they had missed in the first half.

Kentucky’s run was spurred mostly by Young’s play — and several alleyoops. In one spurt starting at the 11:54 mark, Young

lobbed a pass to Poythress for a slam, hit a 3-pointer, made two free throws, lobbed to Randle and then lobbed to Poythress again for a one-handed dunk.

It all combined to give Kentucky a 68-53 cushion, which Wildcats assistant coach John Robic said was just a matter of Kentucky getting back in the rhythm of playing again.

MSU CONTINUED FROM 10A

began slowly as the Wildcats trailed 12-2 and 18-8 to Mississippi State, which returned from a nine-day layoff to beat Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday.

The Bulldogs started quickly and looked fresher, going after loose balls and taking advantage of lazy plays by the Wildcats.

The performance frustrated Kentucky coach John Calipari, who had expected his players to be sharper on both ends of

Jamia Kirk tallied 15 points and Aundrea Adams and Aspen Stricklen added 14 and 10, respectively as the Lady Warriors earned their eight title game appearance since the program was reborn in 1974-75.

Corinth has won just two titles in that same span, the last in 2012.

Kirk had seven in the opening period, including a pair of 3-pointers, as Corinth jumped out to a 14-6 lead. Adams (8) and Kirk combined for 13 points in a 15-point second as CHS extended the advantage to 29-19 at the break.

Deep freeze may have Some find health insurers cost economy $5 billion have no record of them The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Hunkering down at home rather than going to work, canceling thousands of flights and repairing burst pipes from the Midwest to the Southeast has its price. By one estimate, about $5 billion.

The country may be warming up from the polar vortex, but the bone-chilling cold, snow and ice that gripped much of the country — affecting about 200 million people — brought about the biggest economic disruption delivered by the weather since Superstorm Sandy in 2012, said Evan Gold, senior vice president at Planalytics, a business weather intelligence company in suburban Philadelphia.

While the impact came

nowhere close to Sandy, which caused an estimated $65 billion in property damage alone, the deep freeze’s impact came from its breadth.

“There’s a lot of economic activity that didn’t happen,” Gold said.

“Some of that will be made up but some of it just gets lost.”

Still, Gold noted his $5 billion estimate pales in comparison with an annual gross domestic product of about $15 trillion — working out to maybe one-seventh to one-eighth of one day’s production for the entire country.

“It’s a small fraction of a percent, but it’s still an impact,” Gold said.

last Thursday, lost anywhere from $50 million to $100 million, said Helane Becker, an analyst with Cowen and Co. in New York.

JetBlue was hit especially hard because 80 percent of its flights go through New York or Boston, where the carrier shut down Monday evening into Tuesday. The airline also was affected by other airport closures and new regulations limiting pilot hours.

School closures took their own toll, keeping home parents who couldn’t find alternatives for their kids. Even if those parents worked from home, they might not have been as productive, said Tony Madden, regional economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

“People in the northern climates are used to dealing with issues of snow and cold,” Madden said. “However, when you get a onein-20-year event like this, that disrupts activities.”

The insurance industry has yet to estimate costs, but Robert Hartwig, president of the Insurance Information Institute in New York, said insurers plan for about $1.4 billion in winter storm catastrophe losses in any given year.

Damage to a Minnesota state health laboratory in St. Paul could top $1 million after the heating system failed and pipes leaked. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley’s home in Tuscaloosa took an estimated $50,000 blow from a burst water pipe. RotoRooter in Minneapolis and elsewhere has been “inundated” with calls about burst pipes and even frozen sewer lines since the cold snap, plumbing manager Paul Teale said.

The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Record-keeping snags could complicate the start of insurance coverage this month as people begin using policies they purchased under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

Insurance companies are still trying to sort out cases of so-called health insurance orphans, customers for whom the government has a record that they enrolled, but the insurer does not.

Government officials say the problem is real but under control, with orphan records being among the roughly 13,000 problem cases they are trying to resolve with insurers. But insurance companies are worried the process will grow more cumbersome as they deal with the flood of new customers who signed up in December as enrollment deadlines neared.

More than 1 million people have signed up through the federal insurance market that serves 36 states. Officials contend the error rate for new signups is close to zero.

Insurers, however, are less enthusiastic about the pace of the fixes.

The companies also are seeing cases in which the government has assigned the same identification number to more than one person, as well as so-called “ghost” files in which the insurer has an enrollment record but the government does not.

But orphaned files — when the insurer has no record of enrollment — are particularly concerning because the companies have no automated way to identify the presumed policyholder.

They say they have to

manually compare the lists of enrollees the government sends them with their own records because the government never built an automated system that would do the work much faster.

“It’s an ongoing concern,” said Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for the industry trade group America’s Health Insurance Plans. “Health plans can’t process enrollments they haven’t received from the exchange.”

Julie Bataille, communications director for the federal health care rollout, disputes the industry’s view.

“We have fixed the issues that we knew were a problem, and we are now seeing nearly zero errors in the work moving forward,” she said.

A federal “reconciliation” team, including technicians, deals directly with more than 300 insurers to resolve signup problems, she said, while the government’s call center has caseworkers to help consumers directly.

Insurers use the term “orphan” for the problematic files because they are referring to customers who have yet to find a home with the carrier they selected. The files have cropped up since enrollment began last fall through HealthCare.gov.

The site was down an estimated 60 percent of the time in October.

Since then, the frontend interaction between customers and the website has largely been fixed.

But insurers worry that the back-end problems will grow more acute as they process the wave of customers who signed up at the end of 2013. More than 2 million people had enrolled by the end of the year, either through HealthCare.gov or state-

run websites.

Aetna spokeswoman Susan Millerick said orphaned files were “manageable over the short term.” But she added that manually comparing enrollment files will not work over the long term and that the federal website needs a permanent fix to eliminate the possibility of orphaned files.

Bataille said the administration is working the issue with every tool at its disposal, from software fixes to picking up the phone and calling insurers.

Among those who got lost in the paperwork confusion was cancer survivor Sharon Van Daele of Tucson, Ariz., who went back and forth between her insurer and the federal government for more than a week after her confirmation failed to arrive. Unable to get answers, she said it felt as if she had fallen into a black hole.

She started the year worried she was uninsured even though the HealthCare.gov website told her on Dec. 22 that she had successfully enrolled.

“I made all the deadlines, and then I tried to make my payment, but they wouldn’t take it,” said Van Daele.

Her case was finally resolved after an official from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services contacted Van Daele directly, following an Associated Press inquiry to the agency’s Washington press office.

Van Daele is in remission following treatment for a type of blood cancer.

Her previous coverage lapsed Dec. 31, and she started getting nervous when nothing for her new coverage arrived in the mail.

Warm up with ‘quotes’ about quilts Small tags of fabric in blue, green, red, yellow, and floral prints. Some formed into specific patterns, some sewn haphazardly together – all becoming a bed-shaped handiwork to provide warmth and be a thing of beauty in someone’s Lora Ann home.

Huff Don’t know Back Porch who it was but someone has said, “A bed without a quilt is like a sky without stars.” That person probably had a mother or a grandmother who made the quilts she (or he) slept under.

Obviously there was a deep appreciation for the beauty of the thing and also the work put into it.

When I was growing up, we always had several quilts on the bed. We might have a light blanket next to us in the winter, but it was always weighted down by multi-colored handmade quilts made by my mother and grandmothers. Many people my age can remember the covers being so heavy we had to sit up in the bed when we wanted to turn over during the night.

Besides the quilts on our beds, my mother usually worked on a new creation during the winter. She stretched the quilt top over the cotton batting and lining in the large frames that hung from our liv-

ing room ceiling. She would let the quilt down during the day while working on it and then wind the cords around the wood frame ends and raise the project up until ready to quilt again.

An added advantage of having a quilt in progress was the way the large span of cottonfilled bedcover held the heat down closer to the floor in the high ceiling living room. It was a dandy way to be more economical and keep us warmer.

Through the years more masterpieces have been created than can be counted or written about. From the community and church quilting bees to the individual artists who worked in their own homes, the creations are treasures to family and friends, while many have been sold to complete strangers who hopefully also have an appreciation for the labor put into the colorful covers.

Our recent frigid temperatures gave opportunity for folks to use some of those treasures from the past – warm quilts made by loving hands from loving hearts. Someone said a person who makes a quilt touches their children and grandchildren all through their lives, even having a way to touch the physical bodies of children generations down the line.

Not long ago my husband’s cousin was visiting from another state. She brought along a quilt she had made and in the process, began to show me pictures on her camera of quilts

God wants us to be His workers I am saddened to see how so many Americans have become dependent on our government for survival.

I am glad that the government can help individuals that need it but it is somewhat dishearten that some receive it and don’t try to help themselves.

There is an old saying that reads “He who wants milk should not sit on a stool in the middle of the pasture expecting the cow to back up to him.”

God speaks to us about becoming slackers and not being workers. His outline for living on earth is very clear and we should take heed to what He is telling us.

Proverbs 10:4 tells us, “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.”

When God created Adam and Eve and put them in the Garden of Eden, they were to work it and take care of it.

God gave all of us tal-

ents and wisdom to use our strengths.

He has provided us cerGary tain skills Andrews that we can use to Devotionals maintain a good living and to take care of His creation while we work.

As our generations become older there will be a point in time when we are to rest and turn our wisdom to the younger generations.

There are a few that will not have the happiness or the opportunity of working and toiling as many of us do.

Many are disabled and need the help of our secular government. To these all of us need to be helpful and supply their needs.

To the ones that are lazy and do not want to work, do you deserve what someone else has or

earned? Does God want you to be this way?

Our God is a working God. Look at the splendor and beauty of all His creations. He also wants us to be workers for Him and He will be our provider.

Prayer: Lord I praise you and glorify you for the abilities that you have given me. My prayer is that I will stay in your will to work diligently and to reach out to others in your name. Amen.

Pope to travel to Holy Land in May amid Israel-Palestine peace push The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis says his upcoming trip to the Holy Land aims to boost relations with Orthodox Christians.

But the three-day visit in May also underscores Francis’ close ties to the Jewish community, his outreach to Muslims and the Vatican’s longstanding call for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

The announcement was made Sunday just as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry wrapped up three days of talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in a new U.S. bid for peace.

Francis told thousands gathered for his weekly Sunday blessing that he would visit Amman, Bethlehem and Jerusalem on May 24-26. It is the only papal trip confirmed so far for 2014 and the second foreign trip of Francis’ pontificate.

Francis, an Argentine Jesuit, will be the fourth pope to visit the Holy

Friday, January 10, 2014

Land after Paul VI’s landmark visit in 1964.

In his Christmas address, Francis singled out the Holy Land for prayers, saying “Bless the land where you chose to come into the world, and grant a favorable outcome to the peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians.”

As archbishop of Buenos Aires, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio — now Pope Francis — made interreligious dialogue a top priority, hosting an annual interfaith ceremony in the Argentine capital’s cathedral to promote religious harmony and writing a book on faith with his good friend, Rabbi Abraham Skorka.

“We are hoping for a new glimmer of light from this visit in relations with the Orthodox, with Muslims and Jews,” Monsignor William Shomali, auxiliary bishop in Jerusalem, told Vatican Radio on Sunday.

All three governments welcomed the papal visit.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa said President Mahmoud Abbas hoped it would “contribute to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people who aspire for freedom, justice and independence.”

In Jerusalem, Israeli Foreign Ministry Yigal Palmor said Francis was “will be greeted as warmly as his predecessors were.”

Jordan’s Royal Palace said the Amman leg of Francis’ visit would mark a “significant milestone for brotherhood and forgiveness between Muslims and Christians and consolidates the message of peace.”

Francis said his prime aim was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the meeting in Jerusalem between Pope Paul VI and the then-spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians, Ecumenical Patriarch Atengora.

she has made through the years – all gorgeous pieces of art.

Then she pointed out photos of quilts made by her grandmother many, many years ago. The colorful creations are gorgeous still and a real treasure to this lady.

Then I remembered a tattered and worn quilt my mother saved from her father’s things – a quilt his mother pieced and quilted when he was a little boy. The quilt is too far gone to be used but has been kept for the flower pattern and for the sentimental value, knowing my great-grandmother’s hands worked diligently to create something beautiful and warm for her family over 120 years ago.

I read some quotes about quilts and their creators you might like: A quilt is a treasure which follows its owner everywhere.

Blankets wrap you in warmth, quilts wrap you in love.

Blessed are the children of the “piecemakers” for they shall inherit the quilts.

Every quilt is a masterpiece within.

Quilts are like good friends.

They age with you, yet never lose their warmth.

Quilters affect eternity; they can never tell where their influence stops.

Quilters touch the past and the future.

Remember, people will see your quilts long after you are gone – not your housework.

Those who sleep under a

quilt, sleep under a blanket of love.

While most of the quilts from the past were made from scrap pieces of fabric left over from dresses and shirts made for family members, many of today’s quilts are made from new fabric bought specifically for the desired patterns and then quilted on quilting machines rather than by hand. They are beautiful pieces of work but their stories are quite different.

Regardless of what kind of quilts you may own, the whole idea behind them is from someone’s love of creating, their desire to make something and leave it for someone else to enjoy and maybe remember them for. …So enjoy your quilts – and when you snuggle up beneath one and are aware of who made it, take a moment to remember that person. Think about the patience involved, the determination to complete the project, the love put into the long hours of sitting and sewing to give you a treasure to keep. If you have one of the modern versions, much handwork has been put into them as well, and they have been created as a result of the vision women had hundreds of years ago when the first quilts were made.

Each one is truly a work of art and a thing to be treasured.

Religion Briefs Administration disavows comments from Rodman WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is denouncing an angry outburst by former NBA star Dennis Rodman in North Korea.

Rodman is in North Korea for a basketball exhibition honoring the regime’s leader, Kim Jong Un. The former Chicago Bull didn’t like being asked during a CNN satellite interview if he would bring up the detention of American Kenneth Bae. The missionary, who is in poor health, is being held on charges of “anti-state” crimes. Bae has been held for more than a year.

White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters he wouldn’t dignify Rodman’s outburst. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki says the U.S. remains very committed to securing Bae’s release and is gravely concerned about his health. She said those listening to Rodman’s comments should remember that he’s not representing the U.S.

Pope strikes ‘monsignor’ title VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has done away with the honorific title “monsignor” for all but a few priests, further evidence of his desire for priests to be simple, humble servants.

The Vatican’s Secretary of State sent a letter to its embassies asking them to inform bishops’ conferences of the change. From now on, the Vatican says only diocesan priests who are “chaplains of the Holy Father,” can use the honorific, and then only after they turn 65.

Bishops, vicars and archbishops still get to be called “monsignor” and Holy See officials will have the title if their office warrants it.

Coroner: Priest beaten to death GRANTS PASS, Ore. — An autopsy shows a priest who was killed on New Year’s Day in the Northern California city of Eureka was beaten to death with a wooden stake and a metal gutter pipe.

A coroner declined to release further details about the beating death of Rev. Eric Freed because the investigation has not concluded.

But at his arraignment, Gary Lee Bullock, was charged with murder with a special allegation of torture.

He is also charged with burglary, arson and auto theft. Bullock pleaded not guilty and bail was set at $1.2 million.

Freed monsignor must report PHILADELPHIA — A judge in Philadelphia has told a Roman Catholic church official convicted in a sexabuse scandal that she already has signed an arrest warrant that she would issue if he violates the term of his release.

Monsignor William Lynn’s conviction was overturned last week and he was released from prison on Friday after serving 18 months of a three- to six-year prison term for felony child endangerment.

Lynn was the first U.S. church official ever convicted in the handling of abuse complaints. But a state appeals court ruled Dec. 26 that the state’s child-endangerment law in the late 1990s did not apply to supervisors like Lynn.

Lynn attorney Thomas Bergstrom says Lynn is restricted to the two floors of a rectory at St. William Parish in northeast Philadelphia. Lynn has to get permission to leave for appointments with his doctor, lawyer or to attend to anything else. There is no school at the parish.

His diocese put up bail money for Lynn, which has drawn criticism.

As cohabitation gains favor, shotgun weddings fade WASHINGTON — Living together is a growing arrangement for America’s dating couples who become parents.

The share of unmarried couples who opt to move in together after a pregnancy surpassed what demographers call “shotgun marriages” for the first time over the last decade.

That’s according to a forthcoming paper from the National Center for Health Statistics.

About 18.1 percent of all single women who became pregnant opted to move in with their boyfriends.

That is compared to 5.3 percent who chose to have a post-conception marriage.

Grand jury clears East Tennessee pastor for snake handling case The Associated Press

JACKSBORO, Tenn.— An East Tennessee grand jury has cleared a pastor who has appeared on a reality television show about snake handling in church of possessing venomous snakes.

Campbell County pas-

tor Andrew Hamblin of Tabernacle Church of God in LaFollette was cited Nov. 7 and pleaded not guilty. But the Knoxville News Sentinel reports a grand jury on Wednesday exonerated the 22-year-old pastor.

Prosecutor Lori Phil-

lips Jones said officials didn’t see the matter as a religious freedom case but public safety. She said she respects the grand jury’s decision.

Hamblin has appeared on the National Geographic show “Snake Salvation.”
