Heroin incidents prompt concerns

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Two deaths related to heroin use and a recent distribution arrest is prompting concern that the drug is seeing a resurgence in the Corinth area.

Detective Capt. Ralph Dance of the Corinth Police Department said police responded to two calls of possible fatal overdoses last weekend.

“We do believe both died of a heroin overdose,” said Dance.

“We are investigating who gave them the drugs.”

Police also made an arrest involving heroin on Friday, Jan. 17. Eric Smith, 37, of Borroum Circle, Corinth, was stopped for reckless driving on Highway 72.

Police searched the vehicle and found three small foil-wrapped packets of heroin. Police arrested Smith and charged him with possession of heroin with intent to distribute.

Police also seized a 1999 Lex-

us sport utility vehicle.

The detective said he hadn’t seen heroin in the area in 24 years.

Childcare center earns 3 star honor

Skating to Sochi

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

FARMINGTON — Just Kids 1 got its third star.

The Mississippi State University Early Childhood Institute informed the childcare and learning center it had achieved “Star Step 3” of the Mississippi Child Care Quality Step System.

Just Kids 1, located on 13 County Road 217-A, becomes the first childcare center to become a 3-Star facility in Alcorn County.

“We were really close to a five,” said director Tonia Fowler. “The only thing that kept us from it

was we do not have a teacher with a two-year degree on staff.”

The child care facility, which also offers Pre-K, After School and Summer Program instruction, received an overall score of 4.64.

“I was ecstatic when I got the letter,” said Fowler, director of Just Kids 1 for three years. “They require above and beyond the licensing requirements, but it’s worth it.”

Chris Creveling practically skated out of the womb.

Now preparing to represent his country at the Winter Olympics in Russia as a short track ice speedskater, the 28-year-old former Corinthian hails from a skating rink family who ran Corinth’s Skateland from about 1988

to 1993. The youngster on skates was a familar sight at the roller rink.

“I remember having a blast anytime I went in there,” Creveling said by phone from Utah during his last days before heading out of the country.

Noyes, Sweat head Valentine’s show Lenten Luncheons slated

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

A couple of Corinth artists will be showing some love for the local crowd on Valentine’s Day. Maty Noyes and Light Beam Rider lead vocalist Thomas Sweat will be part of a threeband performance on Feb. 14 at the Crossroads Arena.

Gnarly Charlies, from Florence, Ala., is set to open for the two.

“Light Beam Rider’s songs are full of interesting transitions and lyrics about finding one’s place in the world,” said Noyes. “They tour around the

south and play post-rock and prog-pop type music.”

Other than Sweat, the remaining members of the band include: Jesse Sutton, bass guitar; Daniel Sowards, lead guitar; and Ian Manus, drums.

Some of the songs written by the group are Dexter’s Meth Lab, A Song About Some Byrdz, Martha Wiles, Hash Driveway and My Name Is Thunder.

According to their website, the band is very far from the typical Southern sound. They have been influenced by the guitar harmonies of the Allman Brothers Band along with the heavy echoes of British Math

Delta Debutante Rush has Corinth ties A debutante with local ties was among those presented by the Delta Debutante Club in Greenville.

Members of the Delta Debutante Club, the oldest in Mississippi, gathered at the Greenville Golf and Country Club on Dec. 28 for the 70th annual Debutante Presentation and Ball.

Among the Debutantes presented was Miss Warner Elizabeth Rush. Rush is daughter of Mrs. Powers Rush of Cleveland and Mr. John Allen Rush of Corinth. Her grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Millard Fillmore Powers III of Greenville and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Aaron Athey of Indianola. She attends the University of Mississippi.

The Delta Debutante Club was founded in 1942 under the direction of Mrs. Judge Rabun Jones of Greenville, with as-

Warner Elizabeth Rush sistance of Stuart Whitmarsh of New York City, editor of the Debutante Registry.

In subsequent years, club sponsors were: the late Mrs.

Warren Jackson; the late Shelby Edwards: the late Mrs. Hazelwood Farish; the late Mrs. Lawrence Paxton; the late Mrs. Robert Joseph Whitfield; and the late Mrs. Hugh Gamble Payne; also, Mrs. William Lonnie Watson; Mrs. Eustace Harold Winn, Jr.; Mrs. Pearman Smith; Mrs. Clark Wynn; Mrs. Elie Ganier; and Mrs. John Culpepper Webb.

The morning of Dec. 28 Mr. and Mrs. David Estill Clarke, Dr. and Mrs. Henry Hilliard Lawler III, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Halbert Neilson and Mr. and Mrs. Gary Dennis Taylor hosted a Blue’s Brunch brunch honoring their daughters at Vince’s in Leland, Miss. Music was provided by Bub Branton and Jimmy Phillips.

Mr. John Francis Shackelford served as the master of

ceremonies for the presentation of the eleven debutantes to an assembly of friends, families, patrons and members of the Delta Bachelors’ Club.

The Danny Blurton Group of Pickwick Dam, Tenn., provided music.

A twilight garden theme was carried out throughout the Country Club.

The ceiling of the ballroom was draped with Georgette fabric and white lights and garden style floral arrangements of Casablanca lilies, Blizzard roses, larkspur and hydrangea were nestled on top of tall columns that outlined the event area.

The buffet tables held tall, glass trumpet vase arrangements in shades of soft pastels, with garden roses, stock, hydrangea, larkspur, Asiatic lilies and lisianthus.

He was getting ready to head to Munich, Germany, where the team will make final preparations for the February games.

Skating is currently a full-time pursuit for the resident of Midvale, Utah.

He has traveled internationally to compete and is training six to eight hours daily for the Olympics.

Those who knew the Creveling kids from Skateland — siblings Patrick and Chelsea were also fixtures at the rink — are not surprised that one is rising to the top as a competitive skater.

“The kid skated better than he walked,” said Jeff Allen, a Biggersville resident who helped the

Crevelings run the rink for about five years. “I think he actually learned how to skate, then he learned how to walk.”

And it was a challenge to keep up with him.

“The thing I remember is he was always on the go,” said Allen. “He was wide open as soon as he hit the floor. And every time I saw him he had the biggest grin.”

Creveling, who holds the American record in the men’s 1000 meter, went to Northern Michigan University for an opportunity to skate. While there, he and sister Chelsea competed nationally as inline skaters, picking up numerous medals. He also skated in the 2010 Olympic trials while there before moving to Utah about 18 months ago.

“I never actually thought that I would skate short track,” said Creveling. “It was exciting to watch, but I imagined myself skating long track.”

But his rollerskating

past influenced his path.

“I basically lived there skating around that track” in Corinth, he said. “It’s kind of similar to what we do, and that’s why I chose short track.”

The skater’s parents are Christine Currie-Creveling, now a resident of San Diego, and Ross Creveling of Lower Mount Bethel Township, Pa. For now, Creveling is enjoying the opportunity to see the world and do what he loves.

“I take skating pretty seriously,” he said. “If I can make a career out of it, I will, and do it for as long as I can.”

And when he hits the ice before the cheering crowds, “I’ll do my best to make you guys proud over there,” he said.

(Funds are being raised to help the family with the tremendous expense of getting to Sochi, Russia, to see Creveling compete. To donate, visit gofundme. com/chriscreveling.)

Courage required to stand for sanctity of life

BY BEN CARSON Several years ago, I was consulted by a young woman who was 33 weeks pregnant and was on her way to Kansas to get an abortion. I informed her of the multiple options available to her outside of abortion, and she decided to go through with the pregnancy even though the child had hydrocephalus and would require neurosurgical intervention a few weeks after birth. She kept the baby and loves the beautiful child that has resulted.

A couple of decades ago, I came into the pediatric intensive care unit on morning rounds and was told about a 4-year-old girl who had been hit by an ice-cream truck and was comatose and exhibiting little neurological function other than reactive pupils. I tested her pupillary reflexes, and both pupils were fixed and dilated. The staff indicated to me that this was something that must have just occurred. I grabbed the bed and, with some help, transported her quickly to the operating room for an emergency craniotomy. I was met along the way by a senior neurosurgeon who told me I was wasting my time and that, at best, we would end up with someone in a vegetative state.

Nevertheless, we completed the operation, and a few days later, her pupils became reactive, and she eventually left the hospital. I saw her a few years ago walking through the hospital with her own 4-year-old little girl.

What do these two stories have in common? They both involve precious lives that easily could have been discarded.

My entire professional life has been devoted to saving and enhancing lives. Thus, the thought of abortion for the sake of convenience does not appeal to me.

The television commercials about abused animals are poignant, and as a society, we sometimes delay or cancel large construction projects to protect an “endangered” insect, amphibian or fish. Yet many of us turn a blind eye to the wanton slaughter of millions of helpless human babies, who are much more sophisticated than some of the other creatures, when nothing is at stake other than the convenience of one or both parents. I am not saying we should abandon our efforts to save baby seals and a host of other animals. I am saying: Shouldn’t we consider adding human fetuses and babies to the list?

Watching the human fetus develop is aweinspiring. In less than three months from conception, the little hands and feet are quite recognizable, and distinct facial features characterize cute but very tiny human beings.

From Day One, neurons of the brain are proliferating at a rate that will yield a staggering 100 billion neurons by birth.

Some people oppose having pregnant women view ultrasonic pictures of their developing babies because they do not want an emotional bond to develop. Careful, unbiased contemplation, however, might yield the conclusion that such bonding is essential to the survival of mankind.

It is important to try to understand the emotional state of young women seeking an abortion. Instead of judging and condemning them, we need to provide compassion and support. They need to be provided with easy access to adoption services and information about assistance available to them if they decide to keep the baby.

It is equally, if not more, important to reach these young women before they become pregnant. Forget about those politically correct people who say all lifestyles are equal, and inform those young women about the true consequences of out-of-wedlock birth for those who are not financially independent.

As a society, we cannot be afraid to discuss important social and moral issues. Our heritage as a nation is built on compassion, forgiveness and understanding. Courage is also vitally important, because those who stand on godly principles and values will be attacked. Attempting to characterize love and compassion for human life as a “war on women” is deceitful and pathetic. We the people must stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated by those with agendas that do not include regard for the sanctity of life.

Ben S. Carson is professor emeritus of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University.

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, teach me how to breathe in the sweetness of life. Reveal to me the life that will bring peace to the soul. May I not be dismayed, but find the “Peace that passeth all understanding,” the perfect peace that comes from thee. Amen.

A verse to share “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:” — 1 Peter 3:18

Dr. Pangloss, free trader “We’ve outsourced our manufacturing and much of our pollution, but some of it is blowing back across the Pacific to haunt us.”

So says University of California scientist Steve Davis.

Smog from Chinese factories has already saturated cities like Beijing, where residents go about in surgical masks, and crossed the East China Sea to foul the air of Korea and Japan.

Now China’s smog is coming to America’s West.

Among the pollutants wafting their way over the Pacific, says the Guardian, is black carbon, which is “linked to cancer, emphysema and heart and lung diseases,” and travels “huge distances on global winds known as ‘westerlies.’”

Davis is one of a team of U.S. and Chinese researchers whose report has been published by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

As the Chinese factories fouling Asia’s air arose to meet the demands of Western consumers, says Beijing, the West should help pay the cost of cleaning up their polluted and poisoned environment.

Seems that, despite the academic consensus that free trade is win-win for all, free trade is not free.

Great nations that have risen to global power by protecting their manufacturing, like Britain in the early 19th century, have begun their relative decline when they embraced free trade. Between 1870 and 1914, protectionist America

and Germany both shoved Britain aside.

Since Y2K, China, which protects its industrial Pat base by keepBuchanan ing its currency artifiColumnist cially cheap, has surged past Italy, Britain, France, Germany and Japan to become the world’s second largest economy. And they are gaining steadily on us.

Free trade appears to be the policy of fading nations.

Perhaps it is time for a profit and loss statement of its costs and benefits.

Undeniably, free trade has been a bonanza for the top 1 percent and many among our top 10 percent.

As U.S. manufacturers shut down scores of thousands of U.S. factories to finance new plants in Asia, their production costs plummeted. Wages and benefits for Asians were, and are still, but a fraction of those of American workers.

Health, safety and environmental standards were in some cases almost nonexistent. The eight-story garment factory in Bangladesh that collapsed in April, killing 1,100 workers, mostly women, and injuring another 2,500, would never have passed a U.S. building inspection.

After having shifted production overseas and dramatically lowered costs, U.S. transnationals saw a surge in profits. These were used to

push corporate salaries into the stratosphere, increase dividends to shareholders, and keep the Washington lobbyists working the Hill day and night for fast track and free trade.

And the lifestyle of our corporate elites changed.

Where their fathers walked sooty factory floors in smokestack towns in World War II, these masters of the universe fly Gulfstream Vs to Davos and Dubai to dine with titled Europeans, Saudi princes and Chinese billionaires.

These are America’s winners from free trade. The losers?

Middle Americans. The average U.S. family has not seen a rise in real wages in 40 years. This is directly traceable to the loss of more than one-third of all U.S. manufacturing jobs. And that loss, that deindustrialization of America, is directly tied to the $10 trillion in trade deficits since Bush I. Writers who celebrate how U.S. imports have risen in this month or that year almost never mention the trade deficit for this month or that year.

Perhaps that is because the United States has not run a trade surplus in four decades, whereas, in the first 70 years of the 20th century, we never ran a trade deficit.

Trade surpluses add to GDP; trade deficits subtract from GDP. And when in a company town the company closes the factory, the town often dies. And all the little satellite businesses — bars, din-

ers, food stores, pharmacies — that rose around the factory, they die, too.

The tombstones of countless dead towns across America should read: Killed by Free Trade. Tenured economists on college campuses call this “creative destruction.”

The stagnant wages of two generations of U.S. workers also help to explain the crisis of Social Security and Medicare. For, as workers’ wages fail to rise, or fall, so, too, do their contributions in payroll taxes.

If, as Simpson-Bowles contends, our largest entitlement programs are heading for insolvency, free trade played a lead role in that American tragedy.

And where is the liberal morality in passing laws to ensure U.S. workers a living wage and clean and safe conditions, and then, through fast track and free trade, signaling their bosses that they can evade these laws by shutting factories here, moving their plants to Asia, paying coolie wages, and subjecting Asian workers to conditions that would earn a U.S. industrialist a tour in Leavenworth?

Whatever happens from free trade is what should happen, free traders say. As Dr. Pangloss explained to Candide, whatever happens, happens for the best in this best of all possible worlds.

Sure.

Cuomo to conservatives: Leave New York Everyone “knows” it is conservatives who are mean-spirited, intolerant, censors of speech with which they don’t agree, antigay, anti-black and anti just about everything else, right?

We know this because the left keeps telling us so.

Which is why in this era of increasingly corrosive language — note the overuse of the f-word in the film “The Wolf of Wall Street” — and acidic political discourse, recent comments by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.), ought to shock and outrage everyone, regardless of party affiliation or ideology.

In a radio interview on WCNY, Cuomo commented on the battle within the Republican Party between conservatives and moderates: “Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives, who are right to life, pro assault weapon, anti-gay, is that who they are? Because if that is who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York because that is

not who New Yorkers are.”

After the New York Post ran a headline that read, “Gov. Cal Cuomo to Thomas C o n s e r v a tives: Leave Columnist NY!” the governor’s press office issued a statement claiming his remarks were “distorted” and “taken out of context.”

Conservative radio and TV host Sean Hannity said he might take Cuomo up on his directive and probably move to Florida, depriving New York of the considerable taxes he pays.

The attempt to marginalize conservatives smacks of dictatorial behavior clearly evident in President Obama’s dealings with his political and ideological opponents. It’s as if he’s saying to Republicans, “I won. You lost. Get over it!” Whether its taxes, the debt ceiling or spending caps, Obama appears to rule with no need

to negotiate, as though the last election, which put Republicans in the majority in the House, never happened.

If either of these statements had been made by a Republican, the reaction from the left would be predictable. There isn’t enough space to list the names that Republicans would be called. At a minimum, there would be demands for an apology and at a maximum calls to resign from office.

Winning an election doesn’t mean the victor owns the state or country. It means voters have temporarily placed their faith in a person to perform a job that benefits the general welfare.

In his radio interview, Gov. Cuomo praised “moderate” Republicans for helping pass his legislative agenda. Conservatives believe that agenda, and President Obama’s, are harmful.

Should they not be allowed to say why? Should they not be allowed to argue for a better way? Where are the liberals who are so dedicated to preserving the First

Amendment that they defend pornography, offensive language on television and in films and even the burning of the American flag as a price we must pay for all to enjoy freedom of expression? What about conservative speech and expression?

During the Vietnam antiwar protests, conservatives developed a slogan that appeared on some car bumpers: “America: Love it or leave it.” Liberals responded that loving America also meant opposing policies of the Johnson and Nixon administrations, which they believed harmed the country. They were right.

Conservatives were wrong then to suggest people who disagreed with them should leave America and Gov. Cuomo is wrong now when he says — in or out of “context” — there is no place in New York for conservatives who oppose his social and political positions.

Police say 3 dead after mall shooting COLUMBIA, Md. — Someone armed with a gun opened fire at a busy shopping mall in suburban Baltimore on Saturday. Three people died, including the person believed to be the shooter, police said.

The shooting took place at the Mall in Columbia, a suburb of both Baltimore and Washington, according to Howard County police.

Someone called 911 at around 11:15 a.m. to report a shooting at the mall. Police responded to the scene and found three people dead, including one person who was found near a gun and ammunition. No details were released about their identities.

Police said they believed that one of the people found dead was the shooter. Two people with minor injuries were transported to a hospital for treatment.

The mall is at the center of the town and typically opens at 10 a.m. on Saturdays. It was busy with shoppers and employees when shots rang out before noon.

At a news conference, Howard County Police Chief William J. McMahon said police are relatively confident that there was only one shooter.

“We don’t know a motive yet,” McMahon said. “We are very confident that it was a single shooter, and there was not another shooter in the mall.”

The mall was closed

Obama to focus on economic mobility

ORANGEBURG, S.C. — A 20-year-old South Carolina State University student shot to death outside a dormitory was an engineering technology student who also played on the school’s football team, the school said Saturday.

Brandon Robinson was a junior who played football as an outside linebacker and defensive end, the university said in a statement. He attended high school in Orangeburg and appeared in four games last season for SC State, according to the team’s online roster.

Robinson was shot to death Friday afternoon outside Hugine Suites after arguing with Justin Bernard Singleton, 19, of Charleston, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division said.

Singleton was charged with murder and arrested early Saturday at an Orangeburg apartment complex.

Singleton “pulled out a gun and fired at Robinson, hitting him in the neck area,” according to an arrest warrant filed by a SLED investigator.

Authorities initially said they were looking for four men who had left campus. The school decided to lock down the campus Friday so that whoever was re-

WASHINGTON — Struggling to generate second-term momentum, President Barack Obama will use Tuesday’s State of the Union address to announce new executive actions on job training and retirement security, while prodding a divided Congress to work harder on expanding economic mobility for middle class Americans.

Obama’s broad themes — described by the White House as opportunity, action, and optimism — may find some support among Republicans, who also have picked up the inequality mantle in recent months. But as Congress barrels toward the midterm elections, there’s little indication the president will win over the GOP with his legislative policy prescriptions, including a renewed push to increase the minimum wage and expand access to early childhood education.

With its grand traditions and huge primetime television audience, the State of the Union offers Obama an opportunity to start fresh after a year where his legislative agenda stalled, his signature health care law floundered and his approval rating tumbled.

Pedestrian killed by train in Biloxi BILOXI — Police are investigating the death of a person who was struck by a train while walking on railroad tracks in Biloxi.

Police said the accident was reported around 6:30 a.m. Saturday. The identity of the victim was not available.

The victim was hit on tracks between Beauvoir Road and the Maison D’Orleans apartment complex.

Wrongful death case sent back to DeSoto JACKSON — A jury in DeSoto County will hear the wrongful-death lawsuit brought by the family of a Navy SEAL killed during a training exercise at a northwest Mississippi shooting range.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Shapoor Alexander Ghane Jr. was killed in 2008 when a bullet fired during the exercise struck him in the chest, even though he was wearing a bulletproof vest.

Authorities say the bullet first passed through a wall behind which Ghane was crouching and struck him through a gap in the vest.

Ghane’s mother filed the lawsuit in 2009 against Mid-South Institute of Self-Defense Shooting, a private facility used for training by the military and law enforcement agencies.

In 2011, a judge dismissed the lawsuit. But the Mississippi Supreme Court overturned the judge last month.

Itawamba takes aim at garbage fees FULTON — Authorities in Itawamba County said they are cracking down on people who owe the county for unpaid garbage fees.

Despite the seemingly low monthly fee — $13— officials say some of the late payments date from the early 1990s.

“We have garbage bills all the way back to 1994 and 1997 that are unpaid,” said Bo Russell, an attorney for the county Board of Supervisors.

WCBI-TV reports the county solid waste department is sifting through about $50,000 in unpaid bills.

Officials say penalties could be assessed for late payment, but that it is difficult to track people who haven’t paid once they move away.

“If a car tag is not purchased in the county we just have no way of collecting the bill,” said county Administrator Gary Franks.

Russell said the next step is to place a lien on the customer’s property, but even that is limited.

“We are not allowed to sell that house to enforce that lien like a mechanic’s lien or a federal tax lien or anything of that nature so the statute handcuffs us in our abilities to bring any suite against an individual with regards to that lien,” Russell said.

Copiah County man denied appeal JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court declined Thursday to hear an appeal from a Copiah County man convicted in the 2010 fatal shooting of his stepfather.

The state Court of Appeals had upheld Justin Barron’s murder conviction and life sentence last year.

Court records show Barron was convicted in the shooting death of his stepfather Matthew Miller Sr. at the family’s home in Wesson.

Barron had argued he acted in self-defense during a violent domestic dispute between Miller and Miller’s wife, who is Barron’s mother.

The Appeals Court says the Copiah County jury found Barron did not act in the heat of passion or in self-defense, but deliberately shot Miller twice in the back at close range.

Senior American officials said U.S. officials see the threats as troubling but not unusual for a high-profile event such as the Olympics.

The senior officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak by name, said U.S. officials are taking seriously all threats, with the safety and security of all Americans in Sochi seen as taking the “highest priority.”

US offers security assistance for Sochi WASHINGTON — Citing rising threats of violence at the Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, U.S. officials said Friday they are prepared to work with Russian security officials to help protect American athletes and the 10,000 American spectators expected to attend.

As host country, Russia has prime responsibility for protecting athletes and spectators.

The opening ceremony is scheduled for Feb. 7, and U.S. officials are already in Sochi.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that he and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have talked to their Russian counterparts about security for the Olympics, including the need to ensure protections for U.S. citizens.

“If we need to extract our citizens, we will have appropriate arrangements with the Russians to do this,” Hagel said, noting the U.S. will have two warships in the Black Sea during the Games.

“As of right now, the Russians have not requested any specific assistance or technology.

We want them to know that if they need our help, we want to help,” Hagel told Pentagon re-

Hospital considers order on life-support FORT WORTH, Texas — Hospital executives in North Texas are conferring with the district attorney’s office to determine their next step following a judge’s ruling that they must disconnect life support for a pregnant, brain-dead woman.

Wallace agreed with a request by Erick Munoz to have life support removed for his wife, Marlise Munoz. She was 14 weeks pregnant when

Ex port exec to pay own legal costs NEW YORK — The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says it won’t pay the legal bills of a former executive accused of restricting access to the George Washington Bridge as political payback.

Traffic lane closures created days of gridlock in Fort Lee, N.J., whose Democratic mayor didn’t endorse Republican Gov. Chris Christie.

Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman says the agency informed David Wildstein on Friday that covering his legal expenses wasn’t warranted under its bylaws.

Those bylaws generally call for current and former employees to get their legal bills covered for job-related activities, but not if there’s misconduct or fraud.

The Port Authority’s law department is reviewing a request from ex-deputy director Bill Baroni.

Both resigned amid an investigation into the lane closures.

Christie has called his staff’s behavior “stupid.”

FAYETTE — Authorities in Jefferson County say a suspect has been arrested in connection with multiple burglaries at homes and hunting lodges.

WLBT-TV reports the nine break-ins happened in November and December 2013.

It was not immediately clear whether Frisby has an attorney.

The fire was quickly extinguished. Firefighters say several rooms were damaged.

Investigators believe an electrical short was the source of the fire.

Man wins appeal in child porn case JACKSON — A Mississippi man fighting a 60year sentence for producing and distributing pornography featuring a 5-year-old boy has won a chance to have his prison time reduced.

A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday sided with Brian Robinson that a sentencing judge did not take in consideration Robinson’s cooperation with authorities allowed the breakup of child porn rings in Wisconsin and the Netherlands.

The 5th Circuit panel made no recommendation on a sentence.

Robinson pleaded guilty in 2012 to creating various forms of child pornography and distributing on the Internet inside and outside the United States.

Federal prosecutors didn’t recommend a sentence. U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock in Aberdeen, ruled she could not consider a lesser sentence without a recommendation from prosecutors.

Corinth’s history entwined with railroad Perhaps the best tool we Rangers have when sharing the story of Corinth during the war is not necessarily the Interpretive Center, but rather it is outside, about fifty yards to the south; a pair of iron rails and an endless line of wooden Tom ties.

Parson Every s c h o o l Park Ranger child who c o m e s through our doors is taught how Corinth came into existence because of the crossing of the two longest railroads in the South; the Memphis & Charleston and the Mobile & Ohio. You just can’t tell the story of Corinth without talking railroads.

One of the great things about these two railroads was that they were the same gauge. You may ask, what is “gauge?” Well, since you ask...

When you talk about railroad gauge you are referring to the distance between the rails. You see, back in the day railroads were privately run and operated. If you built your own railroad you could set your rails as close together or far apart as you wanted, so long of course as you built a locomotive and cars with the wheels the same distance apart.

This created a problem when you were shipping your goods by rail from point A to point B and had to use several different railroads, each one of a different gauge. The locomotives on one line wouldn’t work on the other. This means the freight would have to be unloaded from one train, moved by wagon to the other, and placed on the new cars. What a mess.

Luckily these two new lines were both “standard gauge” which means the rails on both were exactly 4 feet 8 ½ inches apart.

Where did this particular measurement originate?

Legend has it that the grooves in the stone roads of old Rome were worn deep by the wheels of the chariots. The distance be-

A train prepares to head west from the Corinth Depot in summer 1862, left. tween the ruts was supposedly, you guessed it, 4 feet 8 ½ inches. The width of two horses rear ends, side by side.

Of course the two rail lines were of unlimited value to both sides during the Civil War. Control of the railroads allowed for the quick transfer of men and equipment over long distances. Corinth, and its vital railroad junction, became one of the most important cities in the new Confederacy.

Since the Confederates held the railroads at the beginning of the war they were the first to benefit from them. Thousands upon thousands of men passed through Corinth on their way to Virginia and Kentucky. Dozens of locomotives were in operation at any given hour carrying the vital cargo to and fro. So much traffic inevitably leads to accidents.

Even before the military build-up began there was trouble on the line.

On the 19th of January, 1860, a train was a few miles east of Corinth when the last car of the train jumped the tracks.

The conductor was in the car and franticly signaled

the engineer to bring the train to a halt. As the train slowed the car somehow “jumped” back on the tracks and they soon arrived safely in town.

Sometimes the results were not so lucky.

It was a dark and stormy night…I know it sounds corny but it really was. The 7th Kentucky Infantry was making its way to Mississippi in the days prior to the Battle of Shiloh. On the 18th of March, 1862, a number of trains pulled out from Bethel bound for Corinth, 32 miles away.

Captain William Stubblefield went to sleep, “from which I did not fully awake till we ran into a train before us killing most of the horses belonging to our staff officers and wounding four or five persons.” As the stunned passengers were coming to their senses the conductor went running through the cars screaming at the top of his lungs for everyone to jump off.

No sooner had the troops leapt to safety when another train plowed into them from behind. A signal to the following trains prevented the wreck from

becoming even worse.

In the pitch dark and the soaking rain the soldiers man-handled nine of the wrecked cars and their wheels from the tracks and the journey continued.

A month prior, in February of ’62, the 19th Louisiana was making its way north wearing the thin uniforms they had been issued in a much warmer clime. When they arrived in Grand Junction, TN, they had to climb off the train to transfer all the supplies from their train to another. (Remember the bit about the different gauges?)

The men were startled to find snow several inches deep, a phenomenon many of them had never seen in their lives. They stood shivering in their wet boots with the wind whipping around them until someone noticed there were hundreds of telegraph poles stacked near the siding. In no time at all there was a raging bonfire.

Captain J. E. Carraway recalled, “The snow gradually gave way to the heat and I see the old boys standing with water

streaming from their eyes because of the smoke, with one side scorching while the other was freezing. Many were the curses that this special occasion brought upon the Yankee army, the invaders of Southern soil.”

Eventually, and not nearly soon enough for the chilled Cajuns, the transfer was complete and the men reluctantly exchanged the comfort of the fire for the arctic temps of the box cars. The forty-mile ride to Corinth was a miserable, freezing, trip and many of the boys from the Deep South came down with sickness.

When the Confederates abandoned Corinth in late May somebody made a big mistake and burned a couple of bridges before the last of the trains could make it to safety. Nine locomotives pulling 60 cars were stranded at the crossing of Cypress Creek a few miles west of Chewalla.

Rather than let the enemy capture the goods, the boxcars were burned and the locomotives were disabled by dismantling key components and tossing them into the swamps.

It might have worked better had not the 52nd Indiana Infantry come upon the scene. They were known as the “Railroad Regiment” since there were so many former railroad workers in their ranks. They fished out the missing pieces, fabricated what they couldn’t find, and triumphantly steamed the “disabled” trains back into Corinth.

Riding in the heat could be miserable, too. In late June of ’64 a train was preparing to pull out of the Charleston Depot in Memphis. It was a scorching hot day and a regiment of Iowa soldiers had been kept waiting in the cars for hours while one delay after another held them up. The reflected heat from the surrounding brick buildings was too much for Pvt. William Leach who collapsed in a heap. “He was taken up and placed in an ambulance and sent to the hospital. It was sunstroke that ailed him.”

A following train held

the men of the 7th Minnesota who climbed in and on top of the boxcars, “the men generally preferring the roof.” There were not enough boxcars for the regiment so a number of flat cars were added to the train and with a blast of the whistle they were off in the direction of Corinth. Captain Theodore Carter was certain there would be a calamity. “The weight on top of the boxcars caused the old rickety things to sway over badly, and it seemed to those on top, as well as those inside, that they would surely collapse.”

One of the soldiers, sitting on the edge of a boxcar, stuck his leg out and struck a post set next to the tracks. In a flash he was swept from the roof and lay sprawled on the rail bed with the train pulling away and his comrades waving and calling out his name. On its return trip to Memphis the train passed him ten miles from camp, still limping along gamely to catch up with his regiment.

And then there was danger of another sort.

A third train carried the men of the 178th New York who climbed aboard a long line of flat cars.

They were chugging along through the countryside when, with no warning, a group of Confederate guerillas hiding in the brush fired a volley into the exposed cars. The range was point blank and five men were instantly killed and another thirteen wounded. In the confusion six men of the 178th either fell or jumped from the train and were captured by the enemy.

Five were executed on the spot and their bodies left lying along the tracks, while the sixth man, though badly wounded, was able to make his escape through the brush.

Yes, travel by train in those days was uncomfortable and downright dangerous.

Corinth was, and is, a railroad town and I for one never get tired of hearing those whistles and watching them rumble past the visitor center.

Apple’s Mac still influences 30 years later

To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, Fortune partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America.

Two-thirds of a company’s score is based on the results of the institute’s Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management’s credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company’s responses to the institute’s Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, internal communications, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts.

Edward Jones provides financial services for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada. Every aspect of the firm’s business, from the types of investment options offered to the location of branch offices, is de-

NEW YORK — Look around. Many of the gadgets you see drew inspiration from the original Mac computer.

Computers at the time typically required people to type in commands.

Once the Mac came out 30 years ago Friday, people could instead navigate with a graphical user interface. Available options were organized into menus. People clicked icons to run programs and dragged and dropped files to move them.

The Mac introduced real-world metaphors such as using a trash can to delete files. It brought us fonts and other tools once limited to professional printers. Most importantly, it made computing and publishing easy enough for everyday people to learn and use.

Apple sparked a revolution in computing with the Mac. In turn, that sparked a revolution in publishing as people began creating fancy newsletters, brochures and other publications from their desktops.

These concepts are so fundamental today that it’s hard to imagine a time when they existed only in research labs — primarily Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center in California. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and his team got much of its inspiration from PARC, which they visited while designing the Mac. The Mac has had “incredible influence on pretty much everybody’s lives all over the world since computers are now so ubiquitous.” says Brad Myers, a professor at

Tim Bajarin Creative Strategies analyst Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute.

“Pretty much all consumer electronics are adopting all of the same kinds of interactions.”

Apple didn’t invent these tools, nor was the Mac the first to use them.

Xerox Corp. sold its own mouse-based Star computer, and Apple’s Lisa beat the Mac by months.

It’s impossible to say what would have happened if those machines hadn’t flopped with consumers or whether others would have come along if the Mac hadn’t.

But the Mac prevailed and thus influenced generations of gadgets that followed.

The Mac owes much of its success to the way Apple engineers adapted those pioneering concepts. For instance, Xerox Corp. used a three-button mouse in its Alto prototype computer. Apple settled on one, allowing people to keep their eyes on the screen without worrying about which button to press.

While Lisa had those improvements first, it cost about $10,000. The Mac was a “low” $2,495 when it came out on Jan. 24, 1984.

Apple insisted on uniformity, so copying and pasting text and deleting

files would work the same way from one application to another. That reduced the time it would take to learn a new program.

And Apple put a premium on design. Early Macs showed a happy face when they started up.

Icons and windows had rounded corners. Such details made computers appear friendlier and easier to use — at least subconsciously, Myers says.

One of the first applications enabled by the Mac’s interface was desktop publishing.

Early computers generated text the way a typewriter would — character by character, one line at a time. Users had a limited number of characters, with no variation in appearance. The Mac was one of the first to approach displays like a TV: Text gets incorporated into a graphic that the computer projects on the screen pixel by pixel.

With those tools, would-be publishers could change fonts, adjust typeface sizes and add attributes such as italics.

They could also mix images with text. The earliest Macs popularized “what you see is what you get,” or WYSIWYG; formatting on the screen largely reflected how the page would look in print. Instead of going to a professional printer, anyone could simply design and print newsletters on a Mac. Of course, the Mac’s success was never guaranteed.

Initially, many people “thought it was a waste of time and a gimmick,” says Dag Spicer, senior curator of the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley.

The Mac didn’t run software for the company’s Apple II computer, so there was little people could do with it until Aldus — now part of Adobe — released PageMaker publishing software in 1985. The original Mac had little memory and a small screen, and it lacked a hard drive. Although the Mac’s processor was fast for its time, much of that power went to the graphical interface

instead of tasks common for research and commerce.

With the Mac came “the dawn of the notion of we can waste computing power to make it easier for people,” says Jim Morris, who worked on the Xerox Alto before joining Carnegie Mellon by the time the Mac came out. “The Macintosh was not a business machine.”

Tim Bajarin, a Creative Strategies analyst who has followed Apple for more than three decades, says he was baffled, yet intrigued when he saw the Mac’s unveiling at an Apple shareholders meeting in 1984.

“This really was a complete departure from the computing that we knew,” he says. “None of us had any clue what its potential would be.”

In fact, despite its radical interface, sales were lukewarm. For years, it was mostly a niche product for publishers, educators and graphics artists.

Corporate users stuck with IBM Corp. and its various clones, especially as Microsoft’s Windows operating system grew to look like Mac’s software.

(There were years of lawsuits, capped by a settlement.)

Now the world’s most valuable company, Apple Inc. nearly died in the 1990s as its market share dwindled. After a 12-year exile from Apple, Jobs returned in 1997 to rescue and head the company. A year later, he introduced the iMac, a desktop computer with shapes and colors that departed from beige Windows boxes at the time.

Then came the iPod music player in 2001, the iPhone in 2007 and the iPad tablet in 2010.

They weren’t Macs, but shared the Mac’s knack for ease of use. Elements such as tapping on icons to open apps have roots in the Mac. The popularity of these devices drove many Windows users to buy Macs.

In recent years, PCs have declined as consumers turn to mobile devices. Apple sold 16 million Macs in the fiscal year ending Sept. 28, down 10 percent from a year earlier. By contrast, iPhone sales grew 20 percent to 150 million and iPads by 22 percent to 71 million.

Without the Mac, we may never have had the iPhone or the iPad, and phones might do little more than make calls and send email.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for the Daily Corinthian’s family of exciting magazines throughout the year including Lifestyles Plus coming Feb. 1.

Couple is short on hospitality when parents are the guests DEAR ABBY: When parents who live many miles away from their adult children visit their homes, to what extent should they be treated as “guests”?

When we visit our son, our daughter-in-law gets herself a snack and then sits down to eat it and watch TV, and there we sit. She never offers us a thing.

Are we expecting too much or doesn’t she have any manners?

Also, when we have a meal in their home, they get their own beverages and never mention anything about what is available to us. We’re not used to this kind of treatment. Have you any thoughts on how to handle this without causing any rift? — DISRESPECTED IN MICHIGAN DEAR DISRESPECTED: Assume that your daughter-in-law behaves this way because she doesn’t know any better. As for your son, because he wasn’t raised this way, he is either thoughtless, rude or following his wife’s lead.

Because you’re all family, things should be informal. The way to handle it is to speak up and tell your hosts that you’re hungry and/or thirsty, too. If it’s said with a smile, it shouldn’t cause a rift.

DEAR ABBY: “Bill” and I have gone together for three years.

He’s a wonderful, sweet man who has never raised his voice to me. We have talked about taking our relationship to the

next level.

I’m hesitant because I suspect he’s a high-functioning alcoholic.

Bill doesn’t to Abigail seem a drink Van Buren crave when he’s with me, Dear Abby but he does crave being in bars in the company of men who sit for hours over drinks and then get out on the Interstate.

I don’t want to be his mother or his hall monitor, but I have begun to suspect I shadow his denial. I’m afraid I have become his enabler.

We are in our early retirement years and the thought that his drinking will get worse has made me afraid. I love Bill. I can’t seem to move forward, yet I resist walking away.

We have discussed my feelings many times, and he says he has cut down the amount he drinks and there’s nothing to worry about.

Yet, I have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. — SICK FEELING IN TEXAS DEAR SICK FEELING: Listen to your intuition. I don’t know how often Bill “craves” the company of men who sit for hours in bars becoming increasingly inebriated, but if it is more than “occasionally,” then I agree you

may have cause for concern.

Because of the language in your letter, it appears you are already familiar with alcoholism and how it affects relationships.

It would be a good idea for you to attend some Al-Anon meetings before your relationship with Bill goes further because he may be in denial about the importance of alcohol in his life.

The meetings are easy to find; Al-Anon is listed in your phone directory and can be found at alanon.org.

DEAR ABBY: More and more I receive emails from people using the closing salutation “Best.”

I feel this must be incorrect.

Shouldn’t it be “Best Regards” or “Best Wishes”? To say simply “Best” seems somehow lacking.

Best what? What is accurate?

— TANDI IN NEW HAVEN DEAR TANDI: Closing a communication using “Best” is a shorthand version of saying “Best Wishes” or “Best Regards.” It’s acceptable in lessthan-formal communications, and is sometimes used when someone feels that ending their email without it would seem too cold and abrupt.

(Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

There’s good reason to not get passionately wrapped up in a project or relationship now if you can help it. It’s when you feel strongly about a thing that you are most likely to be fooled by it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You will be assessed according to what you’ve done. Be aware that this probably will not line up with your self-assessment, which is based on what you think you’re capable of doing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you don’t think you’re suited for the job at hand, you could be right. But you also know this is not a reason to run. Doing the job at hand is for the strong and the versatile.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’re so open to the feelings of others now that you could take them on. Sometimes, it’s appropriate; other times, it’s hazardous to your well-being. Stay emotionally on guard.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

There’s a limited window of opportunity on today’s fun. If it’s going to happen you have to get to work and handle many small obstacles quickly. Sense your way through situations that cannot be reasonably sorted out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Mystery is beautiful. Consider this in all you do now. Don’t explain too much. It robs others of the mystery. Giving away too many answers is an equal act of theft.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Anyone can lead when the conditions are right. It’s the one who can rally the troops through rotten weather and imminent danger that is the true commander.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Is true happiness self-reliance, or is it cooperation? You’ll get a taste of both today so you can answer the question quite effectively. Which made you happier?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Keeping score is a dangerous activity that will only lead to a focus on the points you lack.

Instead of keeping score, focus relentlessly on your personal goal. In other words, “eyes on your own paper.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Work and play will come together in today’s events, and it’s an overwhelmingly positive and productive feeling when they do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most arguments that come up this week aren’t worth taking on. Sure, you could win them -probably very easily, too -- and that’s part of the reason why you shouldn’t bother. There’s no glory in such easy victories.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll get further along with a project when you ask questions that you sense will be met by answers. For now, you are better off when you seek to know what you think can be reasonably known.

No. 6 Florida routs Tennessee

BY MARK LONG AP Sports Writer

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Having dropped three consecutive games to Southeastern Conference rival Tennessee, No. 6 Florida had been waiting for a chance to end the losing streak.

The Gators welcomed it and wanted it — and it showed.

Michael Frazier II scored 17 points, Scottie Wilbekin added 13 and Florida handled Tennessee 67-41 on Saturday for the team’s 11th consecutive win.

The Gators (17-2, 6-0 SEC) beat the Volunteers for the first time in nearly two years and extended their school record for consecutive home wins to 26.

“We had a little chip on our shoulder because they kicked our butts the last three times,” said Florida center Patric Young, who added 10 points. “I can actually remember each loss, and the last one was the worst because they were on the court celebrating.

They punched us, and we didn’t respond well the last three years.

“Tonight, we were so ready for whatever they had to throw at us. We were all locked in.”

Especially on the defensive end.

Florida held the Volunteers (12-7, 3-3) to a season-low in points and shooting percentage (27). The Volunteers’ backcourt really struggled, with leading scorer Jordan McRae, Antonio Barton and Josh Richardson combining to make 2 of 29 shots.

“They turned us over, they sped us up, they did a great job,” Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin said. “We forced some shots, but you give that defense credit for doing that.”

Jarnell Stokes led Tennessee with 16 points and 10 rebounds — his 10th double-double of the season.

Stokes kept the Vols in the game early, but faded down the stretch.

Jeronne Maymon chipped in eight points and seven boards.

“This is just my observation, but I thought those guys, Stokes and Maymon, were so incredible on the backboard with their effort,” Gators coach Billy Donovan said. “To offensive rebound and to chase balls like they did, they got worn down, they got tired and rightfully so. Those guys are carrying around a lot of weight and size and strength.”

The Gators led 26-19 at halftime and pulled away with a 21-5 run after the break. Wilbekin’s floater in the lane got things started, and Frazier’s consecutive 3-pointers really opened it up.

After Will Yeguete’s dunk and Dorian Finney-Smith’s consecutive layups in transition, the Gators pulled ahead by 17 and looked really in rhythm.

Ole Miss tops Mississippi State

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

OXFORD, Miss. —Mississippi’s Marshall Henderson was blocking shots instead of making them and throwing down dunks instead of draining 3-pointers.

That’s not necessarily the plan for the Rebels, but it worked just fine on Saturday afternoon, as Ole Miss cruised to an 82-63 victory over Mississippi State in front of a raucous crowd at Tad Smith Coliseum.

Henderson and Jarvis Summers both scored 19 points, but the Rebels received contributions from just about everyone on the roster.

LaDarius White scored 11 points while Sebastian Saiz scored six points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked three shots.

“We need Marshall and Jarvis to be all-league caliber players and I think so far they’re playing as such,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. “Now we’ve got to get contributions from different people.”

Summers scored on the game’s opening possession, driving to the basket for a layup, and Ole Miss (14-5, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) never trailed. It was a much different result than two weeks ago, when Mississippi State beat Ole Miss 76-72 in Starkville.

But Ole Miss didn’t have Henderson in that game because he was serving a twogame suspension, stemming from bad behavior last season. He was back on Saturday and the difference was stark.

Henderson didn’t have a good day shooting, making just 2 of 12 shots from 3-point range, but he was

more aggressive driving to the basket and added four assists and four steals.

His biggest moments came in the second half, when he grabbed a steal and raced down the court, throwing down a powerful two-handed dunk. A few minutes later, the 6-foot-2 guard swatted Trivante Bloodman’s shot off the wall in front of the student section.

The students loved it. So did his teammates.

“His energy just boosts us,” Summers said. “It makes us want to go hard.”

Mississippi State (136, 3-3) was led by Roquez Johnson and I.J. Ready, who both had 13 points. The Bull-

dogs had a rough day at the free throw line, making just 6 of 14 (42.9 percent) attempts.

Ole Miss had a 42-32 rebounding advantage. Mississippi State’s starters combined for just 30 points.

Ole Miss has taken advantage of a relatively easy start to its SEC schedule, but harder games await.

The Rebels have road games against Tennessee and Kentucky during the next two weeks, which should help determine if they’re a serious threat to challenge for the top of the league.

The Rebels looked the part on Saturday, pulling away from the Bulldogs despite Henderson’s rough shooting day.

Ole Miss was the aggressor early, with White and Summers slashing into the lane for easy buckets. The Rebels jumped out to a 20-11 lead and stayed at arm’s length for most of the first half despite battling foul trouble.

No. 14 Kentucky blows out Georgia

BY GARY B. GRAVES AP Sports Writer

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky players weren’t shocked by the numerous scoring opportunities they had against a depleted Georgia lineup with the preparation they had put in.

Most satisfying for the 14thranked Wildcats was taking advantage of those chances — with 7-foot sophomore Willie Cauley-Stein among the happiest contributors by having a hand in other areas before finding the basket.

Freshman guard Aaron Harrison helped set the tone by scoring 15 points as Kentucky pulled away for a 79-54 victory Saturday.

Julius Randle added 14 points while James Young had 13, including a couple of second-half 3-pointers, for Kentucky (15-4, 5-1 Southeastern Conference), which won its third straight thanks to 50

percent shooting. The Wildcats were 29 of 58 from the field and worked around the Bulldogs’ zone for 16 assists.

“This was just a more focused game,” said Harrison, who made 6 of 10 attempts from the field and had three assists. “Everybody was focused and we just came out and wanted to make a statement as a team. ... We all had fun. We played well and played together.”

Alex Poythress had 11 points for Kentucky, which had 11 of 12 players score and finished 5 of 12 from 3-point range.

Cauley-Stein recovered from a recent lull with eight points, six steals, six blocks and three rebounds in 26 minutes.

Most of his scoring came during a second half in which Kentucky shot 52 percent to wear down Georgia, which outrebounded Kentucky 35-32 but shot just 16 of 49 (33 per-

cent) and was outscored 36-24 in the paint in the only regular season meeting between the schools.

“I just got back to the roots of the game and just flying around, contesting shots and running the floor,” said Cauley-Stein, who had combined for just three points, two blocks and 10 rebounds in his previous three games.

Georgia (10-8, 4-2) had gotten within 37-31 with 16:21 remaining before the Wildcats steadily built a double-digit lead that rarely got below 20 points over the final 8 minutes.

Kentucky converted 20 Georgia turnovers into 19 points and dominated fast break (206) and bench scoring (22-7).

Brandon Morris had 15 points for Georgia, which played without starting guard Kenny Gaines and backup Juwan Parker because of thigh and hamstring injuries, respec-

tively. That resulted in a fourforward starting lineup that eventually helped the Bulldogs control the boards, but they couldn’t stop Kentucky inside or outside.

“That was an SEC battle in which they whooped us,” Georgia coach Mark Fox said of the Wildcats. “We couldn’t slow them down enough to get back in it and just couldn’t score enough today to hang in there and make it a threat long enough.”

Georgia meanwhile had its two-game winning streak stopped three days after a 9776 drubbing of South Carolina highlighted by a school recordtying 50 free throw attempts.

The Bulldogs had built their modest surge with strong rebounding and entered Saturday with a +10.4 margin per game to rank just ahead of third-place Wildcats (+10.0) in SEC play.

Vanderbilt defeats Texas A&M 66-55 Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings glanced at the final box on Saturday and seemed as amazed as anyone at the outcome.

“It’s surprising we would come out with a win, because eight points from our wing players is usually not enough,” Stallings said following the Commodores’ 66-55 toppling of Texas A&M before 6,520 fans in Reed Arena.

Rod Odom entered the game averaging a team-high 14.5 points per game, but managed only five. Dai-Jon Parker chipped in three points, less than half of his usual 6.8 per game. No worries, however, as forward James Siakam tallied 22 points and 10 rebounds in Vanderbilt’s first road tri-

umph in Southeastern Conference action.

“A career day for him,” A&M coach Billy Kennedy said of Siakam, who was averaging 7.1 points before notching his career-high.

The Aggies led 34-33 five minutes into the second half before the Commodores ripped off 13 consecutive points to build a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Kyle Fuller and Siakam accounted for 11 points in that decisive span.

“I don’t think we were locked in or whatever we’re supposed to be,” A&M guard Jordan Green said of the Aggies’ third straight loss following their solid start in SEC play. “That won’t happen again, though.”

A&M (12-7, 3-3 SEC) cut Vanderbilt’s lead to four at 52-

48 with 4:49 remaining, but the Commodores (10-8, 2-4) used a 14-7 run to close out the scoring, and hand the Aggies a third consecutive loss.

“It’s a long year, and our ‘big picture’ is tomorrow and Monday and the next day,” Kennedy said of the Aggies needing to regroup in a hurry.

“We played with a lot more confidence the first three games. We’ve got a young, inexperienced group, and we’ve got to get ourselves going again.”

Vanderbilt was down to seven scholarship players following injuries and the Jan. 10 dismissal of guard Eric McClellan, but snapped a two-game losing streak and improved its all-time record against the Aggies to 3-0.

Kourtney Roberson led the

Aggies with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Fuller added 19 for the Commodores.

Vanderbilt put the clamps on A&M’s leading scorer, Jamal Jones, who finished 1 of 9 from the field with seven points. He entered the contest averaging 18 points in SEC play.

“I was really impressed watching him on tape — goodness gracious he’s a talented kid,” Stallings said of Jones.

“He missed some he usually makes, and I thought at times we did a very good job defensively on him.”

Vanderbilt forward Luke Kornet surprised Stallings as well. The 7-footer made 3 of 5 3-pointers, all in the first half, after entering the game having made one of his previous 21 attempts.

Woodworker crafts wildlife call hobby into business

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

EASTVIEW, Tenn. — Inside his rustic shop, hand built out of repurposed barn wood and scrap from the local saw mill, woodworker Garron Carlin has crafted his wildlife call hobby into a full-time business.

“My uncle gave me my first duck call when I was seven,” said Carlin, now 30. “He started telling me how he made it and I was very interested.”

Carlin grew up in the Sulphur Springs community about 10 miles from where his shop sits now behind his house just off Highway 45 inside the Eastview town limits.

“My dad was a carpenter,” Carlin said, as he relaxed in front of his wood burning stove. “He helped me make some of my first calls, because I was too young to use his table saw.”

It wasn’t long before Carlin decided duck call making was something he really enjoyed doing.

At the age of 13, Carlin launched his business, giving it the name of the creek that ran behind his house. Mosses Creek Wildlife Calls was born.

Garron Carlin creates handmade wildlife calls in his rustic shop in Eastview, Tenn.

The perfect call Wildlife call making is an art, according to Carlin.

“A person has to know just the right length and thickness the wood should be,” he said, showing off his latest creation.

“Using the right wood will change the sound, as well.”

Family and friends are often on the lookout for the perfect dry wood Carlin needs to make his calls.

“Some times I’ll get wood out of someone’s way,” he said, adding truth to the old saying, “one man’s trash, is other man’s treasure.”

Quality is very important to Carlin, who has won more than a dozen wildlife calling competitions.

“I love to hunt and I know how important it is for the call to sound like its supposed to,” he said.

“I never want a call to leave my shop that does sound or look perfect.”

“I want to make calls that people will be impressed with. I want the hunter to say, this is the best sounding call ever,” he added.

If a call doesn’t look right or sound right, it is thrown away, Carlin said.

“When I first design a call, I test it out on a hunt before selling it,” the champion caller added. “I love to hunt anything, but I prefer turkey hunting, because it’s a real challenge.”

Carlin once hunted the same turkey for an entire year, before finally bagging the beast on the last few days of the season.

“I had the best time hunting that bird,” he said, grinning.

Not just ducks “I started building calls for the public in 1996,” said Carlin. “After I made

The front door of Garron Carlin’s rustic shop. the first one, I sent it to a guy in Selmer to have a mold made. I had blue prints drawn up, too.”

Once sales started rolling on duck calls, Carlin started crafting other types of wildlife calls.

He soon added turkey, deer, crow, owl and predator calls to his handmade offerings.

The wildlife calls help a hunter lure wildlife out of their hiding space and into a clearing, he said.

“With most calls, in order to imitate the sound of an animal, the hunter would blow into the call,” Carlin said. “Turkey calls, however, are quite different.”

The turkey calls, also known as box calls, fea-

Best known for his handcrafted wood duck calls, Garron Carlin also produces acrylic duck calls. ture a loose wooden top.

The top is screwed on one end and has a wooden handle on the other end.

By moving the handle back and forth, a sound vibrates.

In 2004, Carlin hired three people to help him build calls in his McNairy County shop.

He was producing thousands of wood and acrylic duck calls.

“At one point my duck

calls were in every WalMart in four states,” Carlin said. “A few local outdoor and hunting stores carried my other types of calls.”

Storybook hunt “This is one of my biggest accomplishments,” Carlin said, opening up his personalized, signed copy of the book, “Longbeards, Callmakers and

Memories.”

Carlin appeared in the 2009 book written by Earl Mickel.

The author was one of the country’s leading authorities on turkey calls at the time. He traveled to all 49 states that were home to wild turkeys and – using a call made in each state – killed turkeys.

The book featured stories and photos from each hunt, along with close-up photos of each turkey call.

“I had a friend who helped get my info to Mr. Mickel,” Carlin said. “The day we went out hunting, it was like it was meant to be.”

Mickel and Carlin killed a turkey at the same time, which is rare, according to Carlin.

Call maker’s life When not crafting calls in his shop, Carlin drives a school bus for the McNairy County School District.

The former law enforcement officer and volunteer fire chef married his wife, Kim, in October 2011 and they give birth to their first daughter, McKenna, on Dec. 19, 2013.

“Kim didn’t even know

a turkey call existed until we started going out,” Carlin said, laughing. “I schooled her and now she’s by biggest supporter.”

Carlin recently pulled all of his calls out of retail stores to focus on his online business.

“I’ve sold them all over the world,” Carlin added.

“Last summer I sent over a dozen to California ... I didn’t even realize there was duck hunting in California.”

Facebook is critical, but the majority of sales come from eBay, he said.

Carlin also attends outdoor related shows and hunting events around the area.

He donated a turkey call to the Hunting for a Cure Benefiting St. Jude event in Savannah last year.

The call sold for over $1,000, he said.

As for the future, Carlin hopes he can continue to create his wildlife calls.

“Making calls is my passion,” he said. “I hope to do it as long as the Lord will let me.”

Outdoor-gear expo ramps up luxury for both people and dogs

BY PAUL FOY Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — Wilderness gear is going soft, and not just for people. Dogs are getting their own luxury outdoor items.

A trend at the world’s largest outdoor-gear trade show is equipment and apparel that’s also fashionable, easy to use or comfortable — from roomy spoon-shaped sleeping

bags and pillow-top air mattresses to espresso makers and camp stoves that do double duty boiling water and charging electronic devices. Other vendors offer rugged leashes, life vests and even energy bars just for dogs.

Barebones Inc., maker of a $2,000 safari-style tent, held a ‘glamping’ festival at last summer’s Outdoor Retailer expo, which featured a wider

assortment of luxury gear than the winter show.

Glamping stands for glamorous camping, and the Utah company says the 160-pound tent lets people enjoy the outdoors without having to rough it.

With network and cable news anchors sporting jackets by The North Face on camera in the field, manufacturers don’t have to be reminded that backwoods fashion has hit the

mainstream.

“We don’t pay for anything like that, but we like it when anyone wears our high-quality products,” said Todd Spaletto, president of The North Face.

About 22,000 people are in Salt Lake City for the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market that runs through Saturday.

The merchandise bazaar for a lifestyle of outdoor adventure brings

together 1,000 of the world’s manufacturers and distributors.

Shoppers aren’t allowed inside and no cash sales are conducted. Instead, storekeepers and big retailers are placing orders for next year’s inventory.

Registered dogs are welcome even if the public is not. Nearly a dozen vendors at this week’s show are hawking specialized pooch gear, and

dog parties are part of the activity on the show floor.

The dog outfitters say they’re going after a $53 billion pet industry and taking spoils from the big chains like PetSmart Inc. and Petco.

Kurgo Dog Products, from Salisbury, Mass., makes a jump seat that can restrain a dog inside a moving car. Also on display are rugged leashes, collars, harnesses and booties.

Social media drive food trends

BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU Ag Communications

MISSISSIPPI STATE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Websites and social media are providing couples with creative ideas for reception foods and themes reflecting their personalities and love for friends and family.

Sylvia Byrd, professor of food science, nutrition and health promotion at Mississippi State University, said fewer receptions offer only the cake, nuts, mints and punch that were popular in the 1950s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s or the heavy appetizers of the 1970s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tradition is giving way to personal tastes and ideas that couples see online,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some choices are mo-

tivated by health issues, and some are themes that appeal to the personalities of the bride or groom.â&#x20AC;?

Byrd said specialty bars or stations are among the biggest trends. Those options may include baked potatoes, pancakes, biscuits, tacos, milkshakes, frozen yogurts, flavored coffees and candy. Instead of punch, couples are opting for iced tea, carbonated beverages and flavored waters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of the changes in receptions reflect international influences, either in our communities or from social media,â&#x20AC;? Byrd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Years ago, very few people would consider serving sushi or hummus at a re-

ception, but they are not unusual today.â&#x20AC;?

Byrd said the layout of the reception also has changed to reflect trends that can be found in cafeterias. Guests experience a â&#x20AC;&#x153;scramble systemâ&#x20AC;? instead of a single food line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Several tables will offer food and beverage options and allow guests to be served quicker,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Brent Fountain, nutrition specialist with the MSU Extension Service, said receptions should be an expression of the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a wedding cake is not your style, then look for other options that incorporate your tastes and style into the presen-

tations of the food,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Fountain said nostalgic themes are popular and include vintage popcorn machines or cotton candy machines to go along with photo booths that provide a â&#x20AC;&#x153;throwbackâ&#x20AC;? feeling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to make the event memorable for both participants and the couple,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these options increase the need for workers, including specially trained servers, and professional servers will run up the costs.â&#x20AC;?

Hotels beginning to relax rules on outside food

BY MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON Bayle Ellen Simmons, Aaron Preston Christian

Tenn. He is the grandson of Dan and Betty Christian, Mickey Haynie, and Louise Parker of Corinth.

The bride-elect attended NEMCC and Booneville Academy of Cosmetology.

She is employed at Rue 21 and Cuttinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Up in Corinth.

Both are graduates of Alcorn Central High School.

All friends and family are invited to attend the ceremony and the reception that follows.

Associated Press

Mariam Hashimi and her husband, Munis Alkouz, chose the hotel for their November wedding reception mainly for one reason: It allowed them to use a local caterer to bring in the traditional Afghan rice and meat dishes that hotel chefs often arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trained to prepare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For our weddings, food is really important,â&#x20AC;? said Hashimi, who grew up in an Afghan immigrant family and lives in Albuquerque, N.M. She had her reception at the Sheraton Uptown Hotel there.

Many hotels and banquet halls have begun permitting brides and grooms to hire outside

caterers and work with local restaurants to serve menus reflecting a wider range of cultures and cuisines. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a change from the long-held practice of insisting that customers use only in-house food choices, said Sharon Ringier, president of the Chicago chapter of the Event Planners Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss out on the revenue,â&#x20AC;?

Ringier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to accommodate (customers).â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news for couples wishing to serve ethnic foods at wedding receptions.

Venues typically charge customers an outside catering fee that covers use of the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment and staff, who still have to set up the room and

clean up after the party.

The Sheraton Uptown in Albuquerque started allowing guests to contract with outside caterers for weddings, bar mitzvahs and other special events about two years ago, said catering sales manager Cindy Martinez.

Specifically, it was the demand for traditional Indian food that prompted the change, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indian weddings tend to be very large. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nice events,â&#x20AC;? Martinez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They generate good revenue.â&#x20AC;?

The hotel worked with a local restaurant to develop an Indian menu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of the client going to them, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all done in one stop,â&#x20AC;? Martinez said. Clients can choose from other approved ca-

terers, too.

Finding a venue that allowed outside catering was a must for Nadiaa Ansari when she was planning her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s July wedding.

The Muslim family needed to serve halal meat for religious reasons. She chose the Owego Treadway Inn & Suites in Owego, N.Y., because of its willingness to accommodate them.

Families will recommend a venue or come back again if they feel their needs and traditions have been understood, said Jim Carmody, general manager of the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center in Boston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole family celebration. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be right. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be memorable,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Bieber’s image: From boy-next-door to bad boy

BY CURT ANDERSON & JENNIFER KAY Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Justin Bieber’s mug shot hints at the boy-nextdoor image he’s carefully crafted over the past several years, with a glistening smile and professionally upswept hair.

But the red jail jumpsuit also visible in the photo tells a different story, one about the singer’s recent troubles and emergence as a bad boy. The 19-yearold pop star is facing possible jail time after his arrest in Florida on charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license.

Still, as he has been so many times since achieving stardom at age 15, Bieber was swarmed by crowds of news media and screaming young girls as he left jail Thursday afternoon. He popped through a window of his black SUV in a black

hoodie and sunglasses to wave back.

Police said they arrested a bleary-eyed Bieber — smelling of alcohol — after officers saw him drag-racing before dawn Thursday on a palmlined residential street in Miami Beach, his yellow Lamborghini traveling at nearly twice the speed limit.

Bieber was arrested early Thursday with R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff, after police saw them racing two luxury vehicles down the street at 4:09 a.m., with two other vehicles apparently being used to block off the area.

The 19-year-old singer later admitted smoking marijuana, drinking and taking a prescription medication, police said.

Police Chief Ray Martinez said the singer was initially not cooperative when the officer pulled him over. Martinez said the singer also had an

Cryptoquip

Crossword

expired Georgia driver’s license.

Police said Bieber was driving the Lamborghini and Sharieff was driving a Ferrari. Both cars were towed. Police say Bieber was clocked at nearly double the area’s 30-mph speed limit near a high school, youth center, golf course, city firehouse and small apartment buildings.

According to the arrest report, Bieber “had slow deliberate movements” and appeared to be in a stupor when the officer ordered him to exit his vehicle. Bieber was arrested after repeatedly refusing to put his hands on his vehicle so the officer could pat him down to look for weapons, the report said.

It says he cursed several times at the officer and demanded to know why he was being arrested. At one point, Bieber said to an officer: “What the f--did I do, why did you stop me?”

Bieber failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the Miami Beach police station for a Breathalyzer, police said. Results haven’t been released.

“I think this case will proceed hopefully as any other case would proceed,” said Bieber’s attorney, Roy Black, whose other celebrity clients have included Rush Limbaugh and William Kennedy Smith.

Under Florida law, people under the age of 21 are considered to be driving under the influence if they have a blood-alcohol content of 0.02 percent or more — a level the 5-foot9, 140-pound star could reach with one drink.

For a first DUI offense, there is no minimum jail sentence and a maximum of six months, a fine of $250 to $500, and 50 hours of community service. For anyone under 21, there is an automatic six-month license suspension.

A Miami-Dade County judge set Bieber’s bond at $2,500 Thursday afternoon. Sharieff’s bond was set at $1,000 for a DUI charge.

Bieber reportedly spent far more money at a Miami strip club Monday night, when the King of Diamonds club tweeted that Bieber ordered $75,000 in dollar bills.

The club’s operator later acknowledged that was an exaggeration and that the singer only stayed about an hour.

Bieber and his large entourage were escorted

to a closed-off section of the club. They enjoyed the dancers and ordered a large amount of bottled water, but no alcoholic beverages were sold to them, said Ricky “Disco Rick” Taylor in a statement.

“He had a lot of fun,” Taylor said. “We hope he returns again.”

The Canadian-born Bieber was only 15 when his platinum-selling debut “My World” was released. His brand was clean-cut and charming, earning him an invitation to sing for President Barack Obama and his family at Christmas. But his image tarnished as he got older.

Bieber has been accused of wrongdoing in California but has never been arrested or charged.

He is currently under investigation in a felony vandalism case after a neighbor reported the pop star threw eggs at his house and caused thousands of dollars of damage.

A neighbor had previously accused Bieber of spitting in his face, and a paparazzo called deputies after he said Bieber kicked him, but prosecutors declined to file charges in either instance. He was also accused of reckless driving in his neighborhood, but in October prosecutors refused to seek charges because it was unclear whether Bieber was driving.

His arrest in Miami is unlikely to affect the eggthrowing investigation,

which included nearly a dozen detectives searching Bieber’s home last week searching for video surveillance and other evidence that could be used to pursue a vandalism charge.

Bieber is also being sued by a former bodyguard who says the singer repeatedly berated him, hit him in the chest and owes him more than $420,000 in overtime and other wages. The case is scheduled to go to trial in Los Angeles next month.

Bieber’s arrival in Florida earlier this week also is under investigation. Authorities in the suburban Miami city of Opa-locka are investigating whether the singer was given a police escort when he landed Monday at the Opa-locka Executive Airport.

Police escorts from the airport are not uncommon, but they must follow procedure because they involve city vehicles, Assistant City Manager David Chiverton said.

Administrators had not authorized any escort for Bieber in this case.

Despite all his legal troubles, the charges against Bieber likely won’t put him at risk of being deported or denied entry into the U.S. According to U.S. immigration law, authorities generally do not revoke an individual’s visa unless the person has been convicted of a violent crime or has been sentenced to more than one year imprisonment.

New Harry Potter ride, shops coming to Universal Orlando

BY TAMARA LUSH Associated Press

The new Harry Potter area opening at Universal Orlando Resort this summer, called Diagon Alley, will offer fans a new thrill ride themed on Gringotts bank from the Harry Potter book series, along with more than a half-dozen eateries and shops selling souvenirs like wands.

But the location of Diagon Alley will also require tickets for both of Universal Orlando’s theme parks if guests want to see both the new and original Harry Potter attractions.

Diagon Alley will open at the Universal Studios park. The original Wizarding World of Harry Potter area, which opened in 2010, is located at Universal’s Islands of Adventure park.

The two areas will be connected by a train called Hogwarts Express, but if fans want to see both, a two-park ticket will be required. Currently, single-day admission for both parks is $136.32, including tax, for anyone ages 10 and older.

“It’s a one-of-a-kind two-park experience that will completely immerse you in the story,” said Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative.

Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are both part of the Universal Orlando Resort theme park, but guests can choose to buy tickets for one without the other if they don’t want to visit

both.

Woodbury unveiled the new details of Diagon Alley in a media webcast Thursday.

The new ride, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, described as Diagon Alley’s “marquee” attraction, will be an indoor ride through Gringotts bank vaults. A park spokesman said other kinds of experiences to be offered in Diagon Alley will be announced at a later date.

Universal executives described the rich level of detail at Diagon Alley as “theatrical reality,” with shops selling souvenirs drawn from the Harry Potter books such as supplies for Quidditch, a game played on broomsticks.

Woodbury said that one of his favorite shops is called Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC, where visitors can watch a wand choosing a wizard — then the visitor can buy the wand.

“The attention to detail and authenticity was really important to the Harry Potter fans but also a marvel to the novice fan,” said Woodbury. “They both really are captivated by the level of immersions and storytelling.”

In addition to a previously announced eatery called the Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley will include Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour, where fans can nosh on Harry Potter’s favorite ice cream.

Among other new shops

in Diagon Alley: ■ Borgin and Burke’s, a shop devoted to “Dark Arts” that sells masks, skulls and other “sinister items.”

■ Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions, where park visitors can buy Hogwarts school uniform ties, scarves and jumpers, to authentic wizard’s robes and character costumes.

■ Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment, where folks can buy telescopes, binoculars, armillary spheres, compasses, magnifying glasses and hourglasses.

■ Quality Quidditch Supplies, for Quidditch sweaters, brooms, Golden Snitches, Bludgers, Bludger bats and Quaffles — all items used to play the game featured in the book and movie.

■ Scribbulus, which will sell feather quills, ink and inkwells, bookmarks, journals, parchment paper, seals, stationery sets and postcards.

Diagon Alley will double the size of park space at Universal Orlando devoted to Harry Potter.

Universal has announced many changes to the Orlando parks in recent months, including an 1,800-room hotel called the Cabana Bay Beach Resort, which is based on a 1950s theme, and eight new restaurants in the CityWalk dining and entertainment area. In June 2013, the company also opened a 3-D thrill ride at Universal Studios based on the Transformers film and cartoon franchise.

Bill O’Reilly to interview Obama as part of Fox’s Super Bowl pregame Associated Press

NEW YORK — President Barack Obama will sit for a live interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly before the Super Bowl.

The interview at the White House will air as part of Fox’s pregame

show Feb. 2.

It’s become an annual tradition for the president to talk to the network televising the game on Super Bowl Sunday.

O’Reilly also interviewed the president before the Super Bowl three

years ago, the last time Fox had the NFL championship.

Fox said Thursday that an additional recorded portion of the interview will be aired on “The O’Reilly Factor” on Feb. 3.
