Voters to decide hunting rights issue BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Voters will decide if the right to hunt and fish should be added to the state’s constitution when House Concurrent Resolution 30 appears on the general election ballot on Tuesday. The amendment reads: “This proposed constitutional amendment establishes hunting, fishing, and the harvesting of wildlife, including by the use of traditional methods, as a constitutional right subject only to such regulations and restrictions that promote wildlife conservation and management as the Legislature may prescribe by general law.”
If passed, the vote would add language to the current constitution, which would make it harder to change in the future since doing so requires legislative action followed by approval of voters. The initiative sponsored by District 1 Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo), is the latest in a string of proposed changes to state constitutions across the country that have placed right-to-hunt measures before voters. “We’re hoping to send a message to the rest of the country that we are passionate about our hunting and fishing,” said Carpenter. “We don’t want any-
body dabbling with our sportsmen’s way of life.” Carpenter isn’t alone in his passion to give people stronger hunting and fishing rights. “It’s no secret that Mississippians love to hunt and fish,” said District 2 Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn). “I support it 100 percent and it should be an easy decision for voters.” Seventeen states currently guarantee the right to hunt and fish in their constitutions, including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee. Supporters of the Mississippi initiative are motivated by concerns over animal rights groups that have challenged hunting
rights elsewhere. “It is our right to protect and treasure hunting and fishing traditions for future generations of sportsmen,” added life-long hunter Bain. “We must preserve our rights to hunt and fish.” The proposal won’t change the Mississippi wildlife commission’s ability to regulate hunting and fishing or the legislature’s ability pass hunting and fishing laws. The measure also won’t affect laws regarding trespass, property rights, maintenance of levees or regulation of commercial activities. The amendment vote will appear alongside the controversial Senate race between Democrat
Travis Childers and six-term Republican incumbent Thad Coahran on Tuesday. Reform party candidate Shawn O’Hara is also seeking that office. The ballot also includes the race for U.S Representative between Republican incumbent Alan Nunnelee and Democratic challenger Ron Dickey. Also on Tuesday’s ballot is the area’s lone contested judicial race between incumbent Circuit Court Judge Paul Funderburk and challenger Dennis Farris of Mantachie. Polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. (The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

Work for Giants Ranger’s quest for history leads to new book BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Tom Parson knows how to tell a good story. Parson dishes out Civil War history on a daily basis as a ranger at the Civil War Interpretive Center. It was through an effort to increase his own skills when he came up with the idea to pen the book “Work for Giants – The Campaign and Battle of Tupelo/Harrisburg, Missis-
sippi, June-July 1864.” “By trying to increase my own knowledge, I started collecting material for the book,” said Parson. The book, a second for Parson, focuses on details of the overlooked campaign in Lee County. He also takes readers on post-battle and post-war efforts to minimize the outcome of a Union victory. “There were not any good in-depth studies on the battle,”
said the ranger in compiling material. “I found most of the post-war accounts tended to perpetuate myths about the battle.” In fact, the author has an entire chapter looking at the myths.

Court: More money to ex-inmate Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled the state’s program that provides compensation to inmates wrongfully convicted of crimes covers not only time behind bars but also house arrest. The 5-4 ruling Thursday reversed a decision entered by the Supreme Court in March that denied extra compensa-
tion to Frank Sanders Tipton for the two years he served under house arrest. The justices ruled then that Tipton was due $41,097 for the 300 days he was locked up. The new ruling means Tipton would eligible for an additional $100,000. The attorney general’s office had opposed the extra compensation. “Imprisonment may occur in an actual
prison, but it also can include a state of confinement, which can occur anywhere and vary widely in degree,� Justice Jim Kitchens wrote Thursday for the court’s majority. Justice Josiah Dennis Coleman, in a dissent joined by three other justices, said state law does not provide compensation for any lesser form of confinement.
Union soldiers,â€? said the author, whose first book was “Bear Flag and Bay State in the Civil War.â€? Union Major General Andrew Jackson Smith, Confederate Lieutenant General Stephen D. Lee and Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest are major characters in the book. “I was fascinated with A.J. Smith,â€? said Parson, who is a 20-year U.S. Navy veteran. “He was never defeated and was always in demand ‌ whenever there was a crisis, they sent for him.â€? Lee, founder of Mississippi A&M College – now Mississippi State University – was the youngest Confederate lieutenant general in the Civil War. “Forrest was an incredible soldier and was better than anyone on either side at his style of warfare,â€? said the author, who has also been a ranger at Shiloh National Military Park. The Union mission of the Tupelo/Harrisburg campaign was to keep Forrest’s calvary in Mississippi. “The ultimate goal was
to keep Forrest away from the Tennessee railroad supplying William T. Sherman’s armies in north Georgia,� said Parson. “Tupelo/Harrisburg was a Union victory. It achieved the intended results of keeping the Confederate calvary away from Sherman’s supply line and handing a defeat to the man (Forrest) who had never been bested.� Parson loved the chance to write about the trio involved in the July 13-15 battle of 1864. “The real plus of the project was a chance to write about three individuals who I admire greatly,� said the ranger. “As for the brave men they led, many of them were veterans of Shiloh and Corinth.� (�Work for Giants� was released Oct. 10.

years before penning the publication. “It was a lot of fun researching and meeting people,� said the ranger. “So many people gave me help along the way.� “Work for Giants� gets its name from an account of soldier Lewis Phillips. Phillips, with the 2nd Iowa Light Artillery during the battle, was part of a group of soldiers firing a 12-pound Napoleon cannon. “He explains the action in great detail what went on,� said Parson. The new 12-pounder had a recoil of 20-feet. Each time it was fired it had to be pushed back into place in the extreme heat of July. “Phillips said ‘it was work for giants, but at that time 18- and 19-year-olds were giants,’� noted Parson.

come out and gain insight into how to manage depression this holiday season.� Here are a few practical survival tips to consider: • Prepare beforehand for the ambush of emotions that can attack. • Accept the difficulty of the time of year and loss. It is a season and will pass. • Socialize – Don’t hibernate or isolate yourself and try to go out even for a short time. • Lower Expectations – The Holidays without your loved one will be different.
• Don’t anesthetize the pain. Drugs or alcohol can create more depression. • Trimming – Don’t decorate if it causes too much pain. Put it aside for another time. Create a new tradition. • Get up and move – Take care of your physical well-being with exercise and healthy foods. • Shop online if going to the mall or shopping in town is too stressful. • Coping strategy – Commit to contacting a friend, counselor or minister if needed. • Light – Get some sunshine. Winter can take its toll on your emotions and
sun will help. • Participate by lighting a candle or donating in memory of your loved one. • Set boundaries – Explain to family and friends what you are and are not capable of during the holiday season. Don’t let others guilt you into more than you can handle. • Volunteer to help others in need. (Legacy Hospice is located at 301 East Waldron Street.

Local/Region State: No money from KiOR by debt deadline
Today in History Today is Sunday, Nov. 2, the 306th day of 2014. There are 59 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight On Nov. 2, 1889, North Dakota and South Dakota became the 39th and 40th states with the signing of proclamations by President Benjamin Harrison, who deliberately shuffled the papers to make it impossible to know the exact order in which the Dakotas were admitted to the Union.
On this date In 1783, Gen. George Washington issued his Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States near Princeton, New Jersey. In 1865, the 29th president of the United States, Warren Gamaliel Harding, was born near Marion, Ohio. In 1914, during World War I, Russia declared war on the Ottoman Empire. In 1936, the British Broadcasting Corp. inaugurated “high-definition” television service from Alexandra Palace in London. In 1947, Howard Hughes piloted his huge wooden flying boat, the Hughes H-4 Hercules (derisively dubbed the “Spruce Goose”), on its only flight, which lasted about a minute over Long Beach Harbor in California. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman surprised the experts by winning a narrow upset over Republican challenger Thomas E. Dewey. In 1963, South Vietnamese President Ngo Dihn Diem was assassinated in a military coup.

JACKSON — Mississippi officials say they didn’t get any money from faltering biofuel firm KiOR on Friday, the deadline for the company to make a $1.9 million debt payment. KiOR, based in Pasadena, Texas, has a grace period of three business days to make the payment, so it wouldn’t officially break its agreement until midnight Wednesday. A spokeswoman for KiOR did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday. If the company hasn’t paid by Wednesday, it’s unclear what will happen. Mississippi could seize the plant in Columbus, incorporated as KiOR Columbus LLC, but that could put parent company KiOR Inc. into default on other loans and force bankruptcy.
“We’ll enforce all of our rights available to us,” Mississippi Development Authority spokeswoman Marlo Dorsey said. KiOR owes $69.4 million to Mississippi on what was originally a $75 million, no-interest loan. On July 3, the state gave KiOR another 120 days to make the payment, in exchange for $250,000. At the same time, KiOR hired investment bank Guggenheim Partners to sell the company or raise money. “Throughout the forbearance period, MDA, along with its outside counsel and financial advisers, has actively and continuously worked with KiOR on solutions to keep KiOR Columbus LLC from permanently closing or filing for bankruptcy protection,” Dorsey wrote in an email Friday. “Those efforts continue today.”

Across the Region Booneville hospital prepared for Ebola BOONEVILLE — While there have been no suspected or confirmed cases of Ebola in Mississippi, local health officials are prepared to respond if the virus were to appear in the area. Officials with Baptist Memorial Hospital are monitoring the situation closely and have made certain staff are provided with the knowledge, training and equipment to respond to any situation that might arise. “For the past several months, we have been preparing and updating plans, educating staff and refining protocols in case a potential Ebola patient comes to any of our facilities. We are closely monitoring the situation and will adjust our plans as we learn more and as CDC recommendations change. We
routinely conduct and participate in drills to test our response to emergency situations and to ensure we are prepared to treat patients in any situation,” said Dr. Mark Swanson, chief medical officer of Baptist Memorial Health Care. Officials with the Mississippi State Department of Health emphasize the likelihood of an individual in the state coming down with the virus is incredibly remote and Ebola is not considered a serious risk to Mississippians.
School leaders discuss plans BOONEVILLE — Booneville School District leaders continue to focus on academic achievement and fiscal
responsibility as they look toward the future. Superintendent Dr. Todd English presented the district’s board of trustees with his annual update on goals for the current 2014-15 school year. English said among the key goals is to continue to improve on academic growth at all three schools in the district and keeping the district as a top 10 district in the state. He said they also plan to continue to expand dual enrollment opportunities allowing students to take courses through Northeast Mississippi Community College for both high school and college credit. They are also focused on creating a balanced budget.

Corinth, Miss.
Most incurable disease in U.S. is ... spending I have had a fulfilling career as a pediatric neurosurgeon, which unfortunately included numerous instances where worst-case scenarios played out in the operating room. Good surgeons plan ahead for these possible events so that bad outcomes are minimized. But of course, few treatment plans will succeed if the doctor continually fails to make a proper diagnosis before surgery begins. When I look at our nation’s massive federal debt, it is clear that Washington has chronically misdiagnosed the situation, which has resulted in a seemingly never-ending cycle of borrowing and spending. Much like a life-threatening disease, if the underlying cause is left unaddressed, patient recovery seldom occurs. Ben Bold leaders in both parties Carson have warned for years that entitlement spending is the major Columnist driver of unsustainable deficits, and they have further advised that Washington implement policies to address this problem. While it is distressing to see continued inaction, what troubles me more is that virtually no one has addressed the underlying cause. In other words, why were programs created in a manner that they would eventually become so financially upside-down that our entire economy would be in jeopardy? Furthermore, can and should we do something to ensure that future entitlement programs are created carefully and responsibly? Let’s look at recent history. In the past 10 years, projected deficits for entitlements created long ago, such as Social Security and Medicare, have grown dramatically. In fact, existing entitlement programs consume about 60 percent of all federal spending. During this time, much political effort has been expended -- unsuccessfully -- trying to reform these programs. I’m not saying this wasn’t an important effort. But, if these programs are not reformed soon, they will consume 100 percent of projected federal revenue within the next three decades. Imagine that: Our children and grandchildren either will be faced with a federal government that has no money for defense, roads and education, or the tax burden will double on citizens. Sadly, while Congress was busy failing to fix these existing problems, it passed two new entitlement programs, both of which will only worsen our budgetary shortfalls. These programs create permanent commitments by the federal government to provide expensive services to people indefinitely, regardless of whether the nation can afford to do so. So, not only have we failed to stop the bleeding, but we also have managed to cause significantly more. Fortunately, there are some in Congress with real solutions. Rep. Rick Crawford, an Arkansas Republican, in conjunction with PreserveOurFuture.org, has properly diagnosed this problem and started crafting a superb treatment plan. They have proposed the Super Program Amendment, which would impose two new requirements: 1) a two-thirds majority vote to pass any new permanent entitlement program, and 2) no additional deficit spending for new entitlements created in the future. Imagine if such an amendment had been passed by Congress (and ratified by the states) as part of the budget reforms of the 1990s. Instead of seeing our unfunded obligations grow by tens of trillions of dollars, we would actually be in better financial health to deal with the unsustainable growth of entitlements today. As a physician, I believe in prevention -namely, taking those prudent steps now that can dramatically improve health down the road. The Super Program Amendment would ensure that short-term partisan majorities cannot do more harm to the fiscal health of our nation, giving us the time we need to find consensus on fixing the nation’s other serious problems. Those problems affect everyone regardless of political affiliation, and we must all act as patriotic Americans to resolve them. (Ben S. Carson is professor emeritus of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University and author of the new book “One Nation: What We Can All Do To Save America’s Future.”

Auditor Pickering again questions school funding JACKSON — Mississippians might be forgiven for drawing the wrong conclusions from state Auditor Stacey Pickering’s latest broadside against flaws he sees in the state’s public school funding formula. Pickering said he’s not against the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, that he’s not alleging the state’s 146 school districts are Jeff Amy intentionally manipulating Columnist the formula to obtain more cash from the state and that he’s not necessarily calling for lawmakers to limit local spending autonomy. The Republican said his criticisms are meant as information for lawmakers to consider. But it’s clear he wants them to think about doing something. “The MAEP funding formula is not sacrosanct at all,” he said. Under the program, districts get a yearly lump sum they can spend as they please. That was a change from Mississippi’s previous system of school funding,
called the Minimum Program, which gave districts certain amounts specifically for books, buses and teachers. Pickering noted a growing share of school spending has gone to pay principals, assistant principals and central office employees in recent years, saying that’s proof local spending decisions lack “oversight or accountability.” But when asked if he thinks the state should return to appropriating money only for specific items, Pickering said that’s not his call. “It’s not my decision to be the appropriator, to decide where the money goes,” Pickering said. Sam Bounds, executive director of the Mississippi Association of School Superintendents, disputes Pickering’s claim that schools are not accountable, noting they must meet accreditation standards and risk state takeover if they don’t. He said Pickering should pursue wasteful districts, but stop meddling in policy. “It’s his job to go after that district, not to dictate the whole state of public education from the auditor’s
office,” Bounds said. Pickering attacks the whole concept of MAEP underfunding — the cumulative $1.5 billion that lawmakers have fallen short over the last seven years in providing the money the formula says is needed for a midlevel education. Pickering described the argument as “not valid,” saying the formula has been changed so many times that there’s little basis for year-to-year comparison. “Which formula are we going to stay with or go back to?” he said. Pickering also fears districts will inflate money they’re due under the formula. More than one-third of districts now qualify all students for free meals under the federal lunch and breakfast programs. Mississippi provides extra money to districts for at-risk students based on how many students receive free lunches. The auditor has complained previously that federal rules bar him from examining income figures that students turn in to qualify for free lunches. Now, Pickering estimates $9 million more could be provided by MAEP to districts who submit 100 per-
cent figures instead of old levels, assuming full funding of the formula. The auditor also opposes setting funding based on enrollment instead of average daily attendance. Todd Ivey, chief operating officer of the state Department of Education, said schools can’t cut expenses just because some students are absent on an average day. “The heating costs and cooling costs of a building don’t go down because 950 kids show up out of 975 enrolled,” he said. Pickering, though, said basing funding on enrollment would remove a district’s incentive to get kids to attend regularly. Pickering was a driving force behind a law that says a student must be present for 63 percent of a day to be counted for funding. Bounds said it’s insulting to imply districts would let kids skip class if it wouldn’t affect funding: “He acts like the only reason we have to get children to school is the money.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)
Cochran-Childers race will test seniority value STARKVILLE — After a long, bruising, and for Mississippi Republicans, significantly divisive U.S. Senate campaign, the end of the road is now in sight. And after the bitter Republican primary and subsequent failed legal challenges to the outcome of that the Sid Salter primary, general elecColumnist tion race has taken on a rather anti-climactic character. Six-term incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran is favored to win re-election over Democratic challenger former 1st District U.S. Rep. Travis Childers of Booneville and Reform Party nominee Shawn O’Hara of Hattiesburg. Childers has run as credible a race as his resources would allow. The hard truth is that the national Democratic Party didn’t choose to invest sufficient resources in the Childers campaign. But he has been a game and engaged challenger. The Cochran-Childers race has been a relatively quiet, exceedingly civil af-

fair. Until the last week, there’s been little visible campaign TV ads. The latest ads from the Cochran camp – which enjoys a sizeable financial advantage in the general election – have been generally positive. Since winning the Republican nomination over state Sen. Chris McDaniel, Cochran has run a veteran incumbent’s textbook campaign. To say that McDaniel gave Cochran the race of his political life is a grand understatement. But a week out from the Nov. 4 general election, the choices facing Mississippi voters haven’t changed dramatically over the long, strange course of this campaign. If the GOP retakes control of the U.S. Senate, Cochran will again become chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. On the national level, reputable prognosticators Professor Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, Charlie Cook of the National Journal, and Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.com are predicting that Republicans will pick up sufficient seats to take control of the U.S. Senate. All of those prognostica-
tors are counting Cochran among their projected Republican senators. So as partisan control of the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance, Mississippians face a clear choice – to send a freshman Democratic Party senator to Washington or to hold onto Cochran’s hard-won seniority. Mississippians have a long and undeniable history of protecting congressional seniority. Cochran succeeded longtime Democratic Senate Judiciary Committee chairman James O. “Big Jim” Eastland in 1978. Eastland served the state for 35 years. Mississippi voters have long recognized that with such a small Capitol Hill delegation dictated by Mississippi’s spare population, seniority was one of the few means to give the state clout in competing with larger states. That outsized sense of the value of seniority led to investing decades of it in Mississippi’s past congressional delegation. The late former House Appropriations Committee chairman U.S. Rep. Jamie Whitten of Charleston — known derisively among some House colleagues as the “permanent Secretary

of Agriculture” — exerted enormous influence. State voters gave John C. Stennis — the late chairman of the U.S. Senate Armed Services and Appropriations committees — a 41-year run in the U.S. Senate. The late House Veterans Affairs Committee chairman G.V. “Sonny” Montgomery — “Mr. Veteran” and “Mr. National Guard” to his colleagues — served 30 years and literally authored the modern G.I. Bill that bears his name. Former U.S. Senate Republican Majority Leader and U.S. House Republican Whip Trent Lott of Pascagoula spent 16 years in the House and another 19 years in the Senate during his career. Some strong voices in the current Mississippi political arena have castigated the value of congressional seniority of late. But other voices have been just as resolute that congressional seniority is like electricity – easy to take for granted until you don’t have it.

Panel criticizes judicial challenger JACKSON — A committee that oversees state judicial elections is criticizing a candidate for circuit judge in Hinds County, saying he’s improperly being linked to the Democratic Party and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Travis Childers, and that he’s misleading people into believing he’s the incumbent. The Special Committee on Judicial Election Campaign Intervention released two statements Friday criticizing Ali ShamsidDeen. He’s trying to unseat incumbent Hinds County Circuit Judge Jeff Weill in a district in eastern Hinds County. The committee criticized a leaflet urging voters to support ShamsidDeen and Childers put out by South Forward IE PAC, a group that spends money to help Democrats. Jay Parmley, the executive director of South Forward, says the criticism is off base because his group is independent and can’t coordinate with ShamsidDeen or Childers.
Police chief among 3 killed in accident TCHULA — Tchula Police Chief Anthony Jones was killed Friday in an accident in Holmes County. Sheriff Willie March and the Highway Patrol confirm Jones was one of three people who died in the 7 p.m. accident on U.S. Highway 49 south of Tchula.
Highway Patrol spokesman Tony Dunn says a Ford F-150 was traveling south on U.S. 49 when it veered to avoid another vehicle that was stopped on the highway. He says the truck collided with two vehicles headed northbound and caught fire.
Hospital approved for $5M renovation JACKSON — The Mississippi Methodist Hospital and Rehabilitation Center in Jackson has been given state approval to renovate a building. The Mississippi State Department of Health issued a certificate of need for the project this week. Mississippi requires a CON in a process designed to avoid duplication of health care services and control costs. Methodist Rehab will renovate 21,603 square feet of its third floor patient and nursing area. The project will involve renovating 25 inpatient rehabilitation rooms as well as painting, new flooring, ceiling, new heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing, and remodeling the nursing station and replacing non-fixed furniture. The project will cost $5 million.
Mississippi Poet Laureate at USM HATTIESBURG — Mississippi Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey will appear in Hattiesburg on Thursday for a performance with the University of Southern Mississippi Symphony
Orchestra. Trethewey, the former U.S. poet laureate, will participate in a concert entitled “Made in America” at 7:30 p.m. in Bennett Auditorium on the USM campus. Trethewey will narrate the orchestral version of her Pulitzer Prize-winning collection “Native Guard.” The music was composed by USM alumnus Joseph Britain. The book contains elegies to her mother, who died while Trethewey was in college, and a sonnet sequence in the voice of a black soldier fighting in the Civil War.
Board lawyer seeks election delay FOREST — The attorney for the Scott County schools is asking the governor to put new school board elections on hold until new district lines are drawn. School board attorney Noble Lee says the current lines that separate the district into five zones do not meet federal standards according to population rates based on the most recent census. “I feel that if we proceed with the election, the school district would be open to litigation for imbalance,” Lee told The Scott County Times. “I will recommend to the governor that the election for the school board be placed on hold until the lines are corrected. It is up to the governor, but that will be our recommendation,” he said. Gov. Phil Bryant set the special election for Jan. 6.

Hospital: Girl dies after shooting SEATTLE — One of the teenagers wounded in a Washington state high school shooting has died, raising to four the number of fatalities from the moment when a student opened fire in a cafeteria. Officials at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett said 14-yearold Shaylee Chuckulnaskit (Chuckle-NAS-kit) died Friday afternoon. Zoe Galasso, 14, was killed during the shooting Oct. 24 by a popular freshman at MarysvillePilchuck High School. Gia Soriano, also 14, died Sunday at the hospital. Two other students remain hospitalized. The shooter, Jaylen Fryberg, died of a selfinflicted wound. The school 30 miles north of Seattle was closed this week and will reopen Monday. The school will have grief counselors available.
Scientists try to predict Ebola cases STANFORD, Calif. — Medical experts studying the spread of Ebola say the American public should expect more people infected with the disease to arrive here from West Africa before the end of the year. Scientists have made educated guesses about future U.S. infections based on data models that weigh hundreds of variables, including daily new infections in West Africa, airline traffic worldwide and transmis-
sion possibilities. This week, several top infectious-disease experts ran simulations for The Associated Press that predicted as few as one or two additional infections by the end of December to a worstcase scenario of 130. Dr. David Relman is a professor of infectious disease, microbiology and immunology at Stanford University’s medical school. He says it’s possible that every major city will see at least a handful of cases.
Marine veteran out of Mexico jail, home WESTON, Fla. (AP) — A retired U.S. Marine who fought in Afghanistan returned home to Florida on Saturday after spending eight months in a Mexican jail for crossing the border with loaded guns, a case that led U.S. politicians to bring intense pressure on Mexico to release him. Family spokesman Jon Franks said the private plane carrying Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, his mother and supporters — including former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson — landed at a South Florida airport about 6 a.m. Tahmooressi was freed Friday night and was reunited with his mother, Jill, and then boarded the flight to Florida in San Diego. “They’re just spending time together, trying to figure out what’s next,” Franks told reporters at a hotel in this suburb west of Fort Lauderdale. “They need some time to decompress.” Neither
Tahmooressi nor any family members attended the news conference. Tahmooressi, 26, has said he took a wrong turn on a California freeway that funneled him into a Tijuana port of entry with no way to turn back, and that he had no intention of illegally bringing guns into Mexico. His detention brought calls for his freedom from U.S. politicians, veterans groups and social media campaigns. A U.S. congressional committee held a hearing on the case. In Mexico, possession of weapons restricted for use by the Army is a federal crime.
Driver sought in Halloween crash LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles area authorities say they’re looking for a motorist who crashed into three teenage girls trick-or-treating in Halloween costumes, leaving them with fatal injuries and fleeing the scene. The 13-year-old girls, including twin sisters, were in a crosswalk near an elementary school in Santa Ana when the SUV with two men inside hit them at about 6:45 p.m. Friday, police and fire officials said. Two of them were declared dead immediately, and a third died as paramedics prepared to take her to a hospital, Orange County fire Capt. Steve Concialdi said. Their names were not immediately released. Police were seeking two men from an SUV that hit the girls, police Chief Carlos Rojas said.

U.S. marshals: Nabbing Frein was team effort Associated Press
MOUNTAINHOME, Pa. — Scott Malkowski, a task force commander with the U.S. Marshals Service, spied a figure moving from the woods toward an abandoned airplane hangar in the Pocono Mountains. Looking at his face, his black hat and fleece, and his height and weight, Malkowski was certain he had his man. “Suspect,” he told the two operators by his side, and they fanned out on either side of their quarry, who had no idea he’d just been spotted. Hidden by tall grass, Malkowski moved stealthily toward his target, adrenaline coursing through his body. Eric Frein didn’t stand a chance. The Marshals Service was one of several state
and federal law enforcement agencies that took part in the intensive manhunt for Frein — the survivalist and marksman charged in a deadly sniper attack outside the Blooming Grove state police barracks — and wound up nabbing him on the 48th day of the search. Frein had an initial court appearance Friday morning and remained jailed without bail on first-degree murder and other charges in the Sept. 12 ambush that killed Cpl. Bryon Dickson and critically wounded Trooper Alex Douglass. He did not have a lawyer and was not asked to enter a plea. A preliminary hearing was set for Nov. 12. The district attorney plans to seek the death penalty.

constraints. The Social Security Disability Insurance trust fund could run out of money in as soon as two years, government officials say. “We should fulfill our promises to the men and women who serve, but we need to streamline these duplicative programs,” said Sen. Tom Coburn, ROkla., who requested the study. Veterans groups disagree. They say the retirement money was earned for years of service in the military, while disability payments are compensation for service-related injuries and wounds. In most cases, veterans who receive a combination of benefits are severely disabled. About 4 in 5 veterans who got triple payments had a disability rating of at least 50 percent, the GAO said.

TUPELO — Healing Horses Ranch occupies the only flat spot on an almost 18-acre spread out in the Hatley countryside. It isn’t too much, a small arena next to a rough barn and a cottage for horse tack, rolls of barbed wire for fencing and other ranch necessities. But to the horses and people who find healing there, it’s life changing. “I told my wife I was going to build a house up here,” said Philip Lindsey, the man behind the ranch. “God had other plans.” Lindsey runs Healing Horses almost singlehandedly. He built everything but the arena himself. Lindsey takes in neglected and abused horses seized by the county and nurses them back to health. Groups also find their way to Healing Horses, which Lindsey sees as a getaway from whatever troubles they might have. For the kids like those at Faith Haven, a United Way emergency shelter, it’s a rare opportunity to escape their traumas for a little while. “We let them eat whatever they want and do whatever they want with them, whether it’s ride horses, play basketball, or tug of rope,” he said. “We do everything we can to make sure they never forget this place.” Healing Horses started with a radio program
Kimmons “Bo” Mitchell
in July of 2004 that featured Kim Meeder, who started a youth ranch, Crystal Peaks, in Oregon, with the mission of helping hurt children and horses. Her story resonated with Lindsey. He and his wife Wanda had tried unsuccessfully to build a house on top of the hill three different times. “I thought maybe something was telling us that wasn’t what we were supposed to do,” he said. “Then I heard this woman’s story and felt a tug in me. It scared me.” Every argument he thought of against starting his own ranch was immediately answered by Meeder through the program. When Lindsey thought his space was too small, it turned out Meeder’s ranch was half the size. When Lindsey began to fret about finances, it turned out Meeder was even worse off when she started. Lindsey said he has 16 horses in all, at the moment. “I don’t have to seek any of them out,” he said. “People call me weekly with tips about horses in need. I think people get enamored with the grace and the beauty of a horse, and have a love affair with the idea of riding. But a horse requires way more than throwing some feed in with it and hoping it’s OK. People get in over their heads, but their pride won’t allow them to admit they can’t handle it.”

Fill ’er up Gas under $3 for 1st time in 4 years BY JONATHAN FAHEY AP Energy Writer
NEW YORK — The sight is so surprising that Americans are sharing photos of it, along with all those cute Halloween costumes, sweeping vistas and special meals: The gas station sign, with a price of $2-something a gallon. “It’s stunning what’s happening here,� says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. “I’m a little bit shocked.� The national average price of gasoline fell 33 cents to end October at $3 a gallon and dipped Saturday to $2.995, according to AAA. That marks the first time in four years that gas has been cheaper than $3 a gallon. When the national average crossed above $3 a gallon in December of 2010, drivers weren’t sure they’d ever see $2.99 again. Global demand for oil and gasoline was rising as people in developing countries bought cars by the tens of millions and turmoil was brewing in the oilrich Middle East. Now demand isn’t rising as fast as expected, drillers have learned to tap vast new sources of oil, particularly in the U.S., and crude continues to flow out of the Middle East. Seasonal swings and other factors will likely send gas back over $3 sooner than drivers would like, but the U.S. is on track for the lowest annual average since 2010 — and the 2015 average is expected to be lower even still. Trisha Pena of Hermitage, Tennessee, recently paid $2.57 a gallon to fill up her Honda CRV. Like many around the country these days, she was so surprised and delighted by the price she took a photo and posted it on social media for her friends to see. “I can’t remember the last time it cost under $30 to put 10 or 11 gallons in my tank,� she said in an interview. “A month ago it was in the $3.50 range, and that’s where it had been for a very long time.� Here are a few things to know about cheap gas: ■Crude prices came off the boil. Oil fell from $107 a barrel in June to near $81 because there’s a lot of supply and weak
demand. U.S. output has increased 70 percent since 2008, and supplies from Iraq and Canada have also increased. At the same time, demand is weaker than expected because of a sluggish global economy. ■In the past, a stronger economy in the U.S., the world’s biggest consumer of oil and gasoline, typically meant rising fuel demand. No longer. Americans are driving more efficient vehicles and our driving habits are changing. Michael Sivak of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute calculates that the number of miles travelled per household and gallons of fuel consumed per household peaked in 2004. ■The drop from last year’s average of $3.51 per gallon will save the typical U.S. household about $50 a month. ■The drop will save the U.S. economy $187 million a day, and also boost the profits of shippers, airlines, and any company that sends employees out on sales calls or for deliveries. ■It will take an extra 1.5 years to make purchasing a higher-priced, better-mileage Toyota Prius instead of a Toyota Corolla pay off. ■New York’s average of $3.365 is the highest in the continental U.S. South Carolina and Tennessee are the lowest, with an average of $2.74. ■Politicians are either going to take the credit for lower gasoline prices or blame the other party for not helping them fall further. Don’t listen. There are small things politicians can do over long time horizons, like implement fuel economy standards or ease drilling regulations, but the decline in prices is mainly due to market forces. ■Gasoline is cheaper than milk again. In September the national average price of milk was $3.73 per gallon. The annual average for milk is on track to be more expensive than the annual average for gasoline for the first time since 2011. The gap is even bigger for some bottled water lovers. A case of a dozen 1.5 liter bottles of Evian on Amazon.com costs $38.99, which makes for a price per gallon of $8.20.
Branson vows to find out cause of spacecraft crash Associated Press
MOJAVE, Calif. — Billionaire Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson vowed Saturday to find out what caused the crash of his prototype space tourism craft that killed one of two test pilots, adding that while he remains committed to civilian space travel “we are not going to push on blindly.� In grim remarks at the Mojave Air and Space Port, where the craft known as SpaceShipTwo was under development, Branson gave no details of Friday’s accident and deferred to the National Transportation Safety Board, whose team had just arrived. “We are determined to find out what went wrong,� he said, asserting that safety has always been the top priority of the program that envisions taking wealthy tourists six at a time to the edge
of space for a brief experience of weightlessness and a view of Earth below. “Yesterday, we fell short,� he said. “We’ll now comprehensively assess the results of the crash and are determined to learn from this and move forward.� He also criticized early speculation about crash causes. “To be honest, I find it slightly irresponsible that people who know nothing about what they’re saying can be saying things before the NTSB makes their comments.� The pilot killed in the test flight was identified Saturday as Michael Tyner Alsbury, 39, of nearby Tehachapi. The surviving pilot is Peter Siebold, 43, who parachuted to safety and was hospitalized. Both worked for Scaled Composites, the company developing the spaceship for Virgin Galactic.

ATK products enable improved global positioning on earth ARLINGTON, Va. — Integrated ATK products enabled the successful launch of both the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V vehicle and the GPS satellite launched recently from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Now in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), approximately 11,000 miles above the Earth, the eighth GPS IIF satellite in the constellation will replace older, firstgeneration GPS satellites and provide improved accuracy, signal strength and quality to America’s warfighters, allies and civilian users worldwide. Boeing designed and built the GPS IIF satellite for the U.S. Air Force. “The Atlas V and GPS programs encompass the scope and scale of ATK’s highly engineered products and affordable innovation,� said Blake Larson, President of ATK’s Aerospace Group. “Both military and civilian GPS users around the world will benefit from increased capability as a result of our team’s collective dedication and execution excellence.� The ATK components, in both the Atlas V launch vehicle and satellite, utilize the latest, cuttingedge technology across multiple ATK facilities. These include large composite structures, retro motors, state-of-the art solar arrays and other critical components on the GPS IIF satellite. For the ULA Atlas V rocket, ATK produced the 10-foot diameter composite heat shield,
which provides higher performance with lower weight, and essential protection for the first stage of the launch vehicle from engine exhaust temperatures in excess of 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The assembly was fabricated using advanced fiber placement manufacturing techniques at ATK’s Iuka facility. This is the 50th Atlas V launch using ATK-built composite structures. This launch also marked the 16th successful flight of ATKproduced retro motors. Eight of these solid motors supported separation of the spent first stage. The Atlas retrorocket is built at ATK’s Missile Defense and Controls facility in Elkton, Maryland. The Block IIF series will replace the GPS Block IIA satellites that were launched between 1990 and 1997. The IIF space vehicles provide improved accuracy, enhanced internal atomic clocks, better anti-jam resistance, a civil signal for commercial aviation and a longer design life. The GPS IIF-8 satellite provides space-based system global location and time information in all weather conditions. For the GPS IIF-8 satellite, ATK provided a host of products and services. ATK’s Goleta, California facility designed and manufactured the satellite solar arrays and a deployment boom. ATK has achieved 100 percent on-orbit success on all solar arrays and
deployable systems delivered and launched to date. ATK’s San Diego, California facility manufactured the composite solar array substrates. ATK’s Commerce, California facility had responsibility for the ullage tank assembly, including the blankets, heaters, thermistors and pressurant lines. This tank is a spherical vessel constructed of titanium. As a leader in space thermal control technology, ATK’s Beltsville, Maryland facility provided heat pipes for the GPS IIF equipment and radiator panels. The company has delivered more than
50,000 heat pipes to the space industry with perfect on-orbit mission success record. ATK’s Rancho Bernardo, California facility performed final assembly and RF (Radio Frequency) testing of the antenna suite for GPS IIF between 2003 and 2010. ATK is an aerospace, defense, and outdoor sports and recreation company with operations in 21 states, Puerto Rico, and internationally.

Family chafes under cruel tyranny of their TV dictator D E A R ABBY: I love my husband. We have been married for 45 years. But if he isn’t in control of Abigail the TV, he is Van Buren unbearable. Even if someone Dear Abby else is watching something, he will come in and demand to change the channel. If he falls asleep and we change the channel back, he gets mad when he wakes up. He’ll change it back and immediately fall asleep again. I have tried to get him to understand he is being rude, but he doesn’t agree. I realize this isn’t a serious problem, but it’s very annoying. Thanks for any suggestions you might have on this issue. -MARRIED TO A TV HOG DEAR MARRIED: Trying to reason with your husband won’t work because what he’s really doing is asserting himself as top dog in the household. I’m sorry you didn’t ask me sooner because I could have saved you years of frustration by recommending you get a second television set in another room. DEAR ABBY: I inherited my
mom’s engagement ring a few years ago when she passed away. I don’t know what to do with it now. It appraised for $3,500, but I understand that is full retail. Female friends say I need to keep it to give to a special woman (or use the stone for another ring to offer her). I’m almost 50 and haven’t been in a relationship in many years. My last date was nearly 10 years ago, so I am thinking it is not likely I will ever have anyone to share the ring with. I hate for it to sit in a box until I am gone for someone else to deal with. Do you think I should sell it or continue to hold onto it? I live a debt-free life after paying off my house a couple of years ago, so the extra money isn’t a necessity. -- DAVID IN KENTUCKY DEAR DAVID: Gems are meant to be enjoyed, and it is doing no one any good sitting in a drawer, a cupboard or a safe. If you have no relatives who might like to have the ring or the stone, then sell it. DEAR ABBY: In late 2012, I met the most amazing man I’ve ever known, “Sean.” We fell in love instantly. We had a perfect love until eight months later, when I suffered a mental breakdown. I didn’t know how to deal with anything in my life. I contemplat-
ed suicide. I pushed Sean away. In spite of all his pleas and loving expressions, I pushed harder. Finally, six months into my recovery, I have started to change my life. I had already told Sean to move on. In the six months since we split up, he has recently started dating someone else. I’m better now and want him back. He still loves me and wants me back, too, but says he’s afraid of another breakdown. What do I do? Sean is absolutely perfect for me, and our love was fantastic up until that breakdown. Help me, please! -- FRANTIC IN FRESNO DEAR FRANTIC: I’ll try. If Sean is willing, schedule a session (or two) for both of you with your therapist, so he can discuss his concerns with a mental health professional who is familiar with your case. It may help Sean understand what happened, allay his fears and facilitate you getting back together if he’s sincere about what he’s telling you. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You feel like you shouldn’t have to fight for what’s meant to be yours, but right now what’s meant to be yours won’t be without a fight. Determination will win out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The exchange is pretty simple today. You put love out, and you get love back. Your favorite people are the ones who appreciate and cherish your special brand of warmth. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are few things more exciting than diving into an uncertain future and refusing to look back. You’ll do this and get swept up in a rush of youthful energy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You were taught that forgetting goes with forgiving. Once you forgive, you let it go, and you don’t bring it up ever again. Your grace will be rewarded in many ways, both immediately and in the long run. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
communicate with people in their native language -- and not just the actual dialect, but also the words that speak to them the best. Your gift for relating to people will make you very popular. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You spend so much energy trying to do the right thing, stay on track and make the most of your time. Then, when it’s time to cut loose, losing focus and wasting time become something of an art. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take the time to make yourself comfortable and happy, because this is conducive to the best attitude, and your attitude will take you beyond the point that ability and motivation ever could. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re slightly impatient today, like a person skimming pages to get to the interesting parts of the story. This will work in your favor, and you won’t waste time on the parts that don’t matter. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). When you can’t find the sunshine outside, know that there’s sunshine inside you. That’s why you’ll be a favorite among your friends. They may even fight over you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You really like what you have and wouldn’t dream of spoiling it by pining for what you don’t. Now if you could only teach the children and childish people in your life your contentedness secret. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Just because something is unfamiliar doesn’t mean it isn’t knowable. You’re in just the right courageous, curious mood to explore the unfamiliar and get excited about adding to your body of knowledge. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You know it’s going to change, and you love the way it is right now -- there’s the rub. At least the “rub” is a sensation, though -- one that makes you aware of how precious the day really is.

Auburn holds off No. 7 Rebels BY JOHN ZENOR Associated Press
OXFORD, Miss. — Cassanova McKinzy recovered a fumble in the end zone to preserve No. 4 Auburn’s 35-31 victory over No. 7 Mississippi on Saturday night in what amounted to the first College Football Playoff knockout game. The Tigers (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference, No. 3 CFP) got a reprieve after Rebels receiver Laquon Treadwell lost the ball at the end of a tackle-breaking catch-andrun to the end zone with 1:30 left. It was ruled a touchdown, but the replay official determined he lost the ball before crossing the goal line. McKinzy dove on it, de-
flating the Ole Miss crowd enjoying team’s best start since 1990. The Rebels (7-2, 4-2, No. 4 CFP) have lost two straight. “This was a playoff game,” said Auburn linebacker Kris Frost, who forced the last fumble. “But from here on in, every game is a playoff game. They just get bigger and bigger.” Auburn milked a minute off the clock before Ole Miss got the ball back at its 49 with 26 seconds left and no timeouts. Bo Wallace, who had fumbled at Auburn’s 6 on the previous drive, threw three straight incompletions before a final desperation play went nowhere. McKinzy and Auburn coach
Gus Malzahn said they had little doubt what the replay would show. “I knew it was a fumble and I thought we got it,” Malzahn said. “The coaches up in the press box told us we had it, so I knew we were going to get the ball.” He and the Rebels’ Hugh Freeze had both downplayed the significance of initial CFP rankings with big games to play. Malzahn stopped short of saying it felt like a playoff game. “It felt like a big game,” he said. “They’re still one of the best teams in the country. I had people tell me it was an elimination game but the bottom line it was 3 versus 4. It’s a really big win for us.”
The Tigers gained 507 yards against the nation’s top scoring defense, the only unit that hadn’t given up 20 points in a game coming into this SEC West clash. An Ole Miss offense held to seven points in a loss to No. 16 LSU matched them nearly yard for yard, gaining 492. “It’s just a really, really sickening way to lose,” Rebels coach Hugh Freeze said. It was a compelling duel between two teams tangling for playoff shots, and two quarterbacks swapping big plays. Marshall completed 15 of 22 passes for 254 yards with an interception that was Senquez Golson’s nation-leading Please see AUBURN | 11A
Itawamba 31, Tish Co. 14 At Fulton, the Indians wrapped up a perfect season in league play and won their fifth straight game overall. IAHS (6-4, 5-0) will host Indianola Gentry -- the No. 4 team from Division 3-4A -- in the opening round of the playoffs on Friday. After losing close games to Pontotoc and Amory, the Braves finished 1-10 overall and 0-5 in league play.

Vanderbilt gets 3rd win Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Johnny McCrary threw for five touchdowns to tie a school record and propel Vanderbilt to a 42-28 win over Old Dominion on Saturday night. McCrary, a redshirt freshman, finished 20 of 29 for 281 yards and no interceptions, finding five different receivers for touchdowns, as Vanderbilt (3-6) piled up a season-high 524 yards of total offense against Old Dominion (3-6), a first-year Conference USA member.
STARKVILLE, Miss. — Dak Prescott threw for a careerhigh 331 yards and a touchdown to help No. 1 Mississippi State beat Arkansas 17-10 on Saturday night. Mississippi State (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 1 CFP) trailed until the third quarter and didn’t take the lead until Prescott’s 69-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Fred Ross made it 17-10 with 13:21 remaining. Arkansas had two promising drives in the fourth quarter, but neither resulted in points. Will Redmond inter-
cepted a pass in the end zone with 15 seconds left to end the Razorbacks’ final chance. The Razorbacks (4-5, 0-5) have lost 17 straight conference games dating to 2012. It wasn’t the prettiest game for Prescott — who threw two interceptions — but he made clutch throws during crucial moments in the second half. Josh Robinson caught six passes for a career-high 110 yards. Arkansas’ Brandon Allen completed 22 of 43 passes for 238 yards and the interception in the final seconds. Alex Collins had 93 yards rushing. Mississippi State has won
11 straight games, the secondlongest streak in the country behind Florida State. Prescott is the first Mississippi State player to throw for 300 yards since 2007. He completed 18 of 27 passes. Arkansas led 10-0 early in the second quarter on Adam McFain’s 36-yard field goal and Alex Collins’ 1-yard touchdown run. The Razorbacks looked little like a team that hadn’t won an SEC game in two years, methodically moving the ball down the field. Mississippi State struggled to get started. The Bulldogs had three turnovers in the
first half. Prescott wore a protective boot on his left foot during interview sessions throughout the week leading up to the game, but insisted that it was only a precautionary measure. That might have been a little gamesmanship. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound junior didn’t look comfortable early, gingerly moving in the pocket. He threw two interceptions in the first half and didn’t even attempt to run the ball until the second quarter, when it became obvious that Please see BULLDOGS | 11A
Florida runs wild against No. 9 Georgia BY MARK LONG Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Matt Jones and Kelvin Taylor combined for 389 yards rushing and four touchdowns and Florida upset ninth-ranked Georgia 38-20 Saturday, ending a three-game losing streak in the series and quite possibly saving coach Will Muschamp’s job. Jones ran 25 times for 197 yards and two touchdowns. Taylor, whose NFL father, Fred, has his name embla-
zoned on a wall inside EverBank Field, carried 25 times for 192 yards and two scores. The dynamic duo became the first Florida teammates to top the century mark on the ground since Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey against Kentucky in 2011. Jones and Taylor carried Florida (4-3, 3-3 SEC) to a much-needed victory in the series against the Bulldogs (62, 4-2) and in the Southeastern Conference. Muschamp may have been
the big winner. The fourthyear coach’s future was clearly in jeopardy with Florida having lost 10 of its previous 13 games. Muschamp also had been 0-7 in this series, going 0-4 as a Georgia defensive back in the 1990s and losing his first three games as Florida’s coach. “I don’t think they’re going to vote me into the FloridaGeorgia Hall of Fame or anything,” Muschamp told CBS after the game. The Gators talked all week
about winning for Muschamp and for themselves. They also predicted they were going to run the ball “until the wheels come off.” They delivered with their best overall performance since the season opener. Florida finished with 418 yards rushing, the program’s most since gaining 466 against New Mexico in 1989 when NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith was the team’s Please see GATORS | 11A
Missouri’s defense shuts down the Wildcats BY JAKE KREINBERG Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Maty Mauk completed 18 of 33 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns - both to Bud Sasser - to lead Missouri past Kentucky in a 20-10 win Saturday. Mauk added another 75 yards on the ground, picking up four first downs, and completed 10 consecutive passes in the first half, including a 26yard toss to a streaking Sasser in the end zone over defender
J.D. Harmon. Sasser also hauled in a 3-yard toss for a TD and finished with six catches for 67 yards. Andrew Baggett kicked 41- and 21-yard field goals. Coupled with Georgia’s 3820 loss to Florida, the Tigers (7-2, 4-1) now lead the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division by a half-game. Missouri’s offensive struggles reappeared at times as the Tigers gained 320 yards, but the defense limited Kentucky to 258 yards and 2-for-16 on
third-down conversions. Patrick Towles gained 158 yards through the air for Kentucky (5-4, 2-4), a week after throwing for a career-high 390 yards against Mississippi State. Kentucky struggled to achieve much consistency on offense itself, starting 0-for-8 on third-down conversions. Towles threw for 1 yard and an interception in the first half before leading an 80-yard touchdown drive to narrow his team’s deficit to 20-10 with
3:26 remaining. The Wildcats then recovered the ensuring onside kick, but Missouri’s Matt Hoch and Michael Scherer stopped Towles for a 2-yard loss on 4th-and-1 at the Tigers’ 21-yard line. After a 3-and-out by Missouri, Kentucky had another chance but Shane Ray sacked Towles on 4th down, his second sack of the game and his 12th of the season, breaking the previous school record of 11.5 set by Aldon Smith and Michael Sam.

ninth. Marshall ran and passed for two touchdowns. Cameron ArtisPayne turned in another workhorse game, gaining 143 yards on 27 punishing carries. Wallace was 28-of-40 passing for 362 yards and two touchdowns. Ole Miss had three receivers reach 100 yards: Evan Engram (123), Vince Sanders (105) and Treadwell (103). Wallace had a 59yard run and scored on a 3-yarder early in the fourth quarter for a 3128 lead, but also lost a fumble at the Auburn 6 in the final minutes. After Wallace’s TD, Auburn answered with Artis-Payne’s 6-yard touchdown run with 10:23 left that proved the last points but didn’t conclude the drama. The Tigers made a last-play interception in the end zone to preserve a 42-35 win over South Carolina last week. This final drive proved anticlimactic, leaving the Ole Miss fans in stunned silence. Wallace’s first three passes fell incomplete,
Auto racing including a drop by Auburn native Cody Core across the middle. Wallace then hit Evan Engram at the 37, Engram flipped it back to Vince Sanders who threw it back to Wallace. Wallace’s next try fell to the ground, and the game was over. So, too, is the Rebels’ surprising ride into national title contention. Treadwell appeared to injure his left leg at the end of his third-down catch. He was taken off the field on a cart after breaking two tackles and dragging Frost toward the end zone. He pounded his fist on the ground in pain while officials reviewed the play and fans chanted his name. After Wallace’s fumble, the Rebels’ defense then held Auburn to a single first down that came on a deflected pass nearly picked off by Golson, who might have had an easy interception for a touchdown. A late hit on the punt return gave Ole Miss the ball at its own 48 with 3:22, but the Rebels came up inches short. Auburn was penalized 13 times for 145 yards.

the offense was struggling without that threat. The Bulldogs finally broke through with Robinson’s 3-yard touchdown with 7:30 remaining in the second quarter to pull to 10-7. Prescott and Robinson combined for 35 yards rushing on the drive. It didn’t exactly open the floodgates, but the drive did establish some semblance of rhythm. Robinson’s play was crucial throughout the night. He came into the game with just 12 catches for 159 yards over the
first seven games, but was Prescott’s favorite target for much of Saturday. The Bulldogs tied it at 10 with 3:35 remaining in the third quarter on Evan Sobiesk’s 37-yard field goal. Arkansas had a chance to take the lead early in the fourth, but McFain’s 42-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right. The Razorbacks were held scoreless in the second half in what ended as another frustrating night for a program that’s played several close games against SEC opponents this season.
GATORS CONTINUED FROM 10A
star. The total Saturday included a 21-yard scoring run by former walkon Michael McNeely on a fake field goal that kicked off a dominant second quarter. McNeely, who went to his job as a grocery bagger after he got his scholarship this fall, took the fourth-and-9 snap and went untouched around the right side to tie the game at 7. The call was reminiscent of Georgia coach Mark Richt’s fourth-down gambles in 2011, when he seemingly saved his job by beating Florida 24-20 in Jacksonville.
The difference in this was Florida’s decision to bench turnoverprone quarterback Jeff Driskel and commit to the ground game, even against the league’s second-ranked run defense. It was the right call with winds gusting to 40 mph. Jones and Taylor hurt the Bulldogs inside and out, finding some holes and creating others. Freshman quarterback Treon Harris didn’t do anything special aside from playing with better ball security than Driskel. He completed 3 of 6 passes for 27 yards. He also ran 37 yards. He fumbled once and had a shotgun snap sail over his head.

Medicare paid for meds after patients were dead BY RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Call it drugs for the departed: A quirky bureaucratic rule led Medicare’s prescription drug program to pay for costly medications even after the patients were dead. That head-scratching policy is now getting a second look. A report released Friday by the Health and Human Services Department’s inspector general said the Medicare rule allows payment for prescriptions filled up to 32 days after a patient’s death - at odds with the program’s basic principles, not to mention common sense. “Drugs for deceased beneficiaries are clearly not medically indicated, which is a requirement for (Medicare) coverage,” the IG report said. It urged immediate changes
to eliminate or restrict the payment policy. Medicare said it’s working on a fix. Investigators examined claims from 2012 for a tiny sliver of Medicare drugs, medications to treat HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and then cross-referenced them with death records. They found that the program paid for drugs for 158 beneficiaries after they were already dead. The cost to taxpayers: $292,381, an average of $1,850 for each beneficiary. Medicare’s “current practices allowed most of these payments to occur,” said the report. It underscored that the problem extends beyond HIV drugs. Investigators found that of 348 HIV prescriptions dispensed for dead beneficiaries, nearly half were filled more than a week after the patient
died. Sometimes multiple prescriptions were filled on behalf of a single dead person. Among the examples investigators documented: Medicare paid $1,200 for a prescription for a 90-year-old Boston-area beneficiary that was dispensed 25 days after he died. The man had no history of HIV in his Medicare record. A Miami pharmacy filled a prescription for an 80-year-old beneficiary 16 days after he died. Medicare paid $1,800 for two HIV drugs. That very day, the same pharmacy dispensed the same two drugs on behalf on an 81-year-old woman who died 10 days earlier. Neither had a history of HIV in their Medicare records. Investigators don’t know what happened to the medications obtained on behalf of dead people,
but some may have been diverted to the underground market for prescription medicines. The report said HIV drugs can be targets for fraud because of their high cost. Medicare is the government’s premier health insurance program, providing coverage to about 55 million seniors and disabled people. Prescription coverage delivered through private insurance plans began in 2006 as a major expansion of the program. But it’s also been a target for scams. The report did not estimate the potential financial impact across the $85 billion-a-year Medicare prescription program known as Part D. But investigators believe the waste may add up to millions of dollars. “The exposure for the entire Part D program could be significant,” said Miriam Anderson, team
leader on the report. “The payment policy is the same for all drugs, whether they are $2,000 drugs to treat HIV or $4 generic drugs.” In a formal response, Medicare agreed with the investigators’ recommendations. “After reviewing this report, (Medicare) has had preliminary discussions with the industry to revisit the need for a 32-day window,” wrote Marilyn Tavenner, the Obama administration’s Medicare chief. Medicare had originally maintained that the date of service listed in the billing records could instead reflect when a pharmacy submitted bills for payment. That billing date might have actually occurred after a prescription was filled, since some nursing home and institutional pharmacies submit their bills in monthly
bundles. However, the inspector general’s investigators found that about 80 percent of the prescriptions for dead beneficiaries were filled at neighborhood pharmacies, undercutting Medicare’s first explanation. Investigators said they stumbled on the billing problem during an examination of Medicare coverage for AIDS drugs. That previous investigation raised questions about expensive medications billed on behalf of nearly 1,600 Medicare recipients. Some had no record of an HIV diagnosis, but were prescribed the drugs anyway. Prescription drug fraud has many angles. The high prices of certain drugs can create an underground market. And some medications, like painkillers and anti-anxiety pills, are sought by people with substance-abuse issues.
Richard Branson vows to find out cause of spacecraft crash BRIAN MELLEY Associated Press
MOJAVE, Calif. — Billionaire Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson, saluting the bravery of test pilots, vowed Saturday to find out what caused the crash of his prototype space tourism rocket, killing one crew member and injuring another. In grim remarks at the Mojave Air and Space Port where the craft was under development, Branson gave no details of Friday’s accident and deferred to the National Transportation Safety Board, whose team had just arrived. “We are determined to find out what went wrong,” he said, asserting that safety has always been the top priority of
the program that envisions taking wealthy tourists to the edge of space for a brief experience of weightlessness and a view of Earth below. More than a dozen investigators in a range of specialties were forming teams to examine the crash site, collect data and interview witnesses, NTSB Acting Chairman Christopher A. Hart told a press conference at Mojave Air and Space Port, where the winged spacecraft was under development. Hart said the investigation will have similarities to a typical NTSB probe as well as some differences. “This will be the first time we have been in the lead of a space launch (accident) that involved per-
sons onboard,” said Hart, noting that the NTSB did participate in investigations of the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters. Hart said he did not immediately know the answers to such questions as whether the spaceship had flight recorders or the altitude of the accident, but noted that test flights are usually well documented. Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo blew apart about 20 miles from the Mojave airport after being released from a carrier aircraft Friday. It was the second fiery setback for commercial space travel in less than a week. Branson has been the front-runner in the fledgling race to give large
numbers of paying civilians a suborbital ride that would let them experience weightlessness at the edge of space. The NTSB investigators were expected to head to an area about 20 miles from the Mojave airfield where debris from the spaceship fell over a wide area of uninhabited desert. The spacecraft broke up after being released from a carrier aircraft at high altitude, according to Ken Brown, a photographer who witnessed the plane breaking apart. One pilot was found dead inside the spacecraft and another parachuted out and was flown by helicopter to a hospital, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. The accident occurred
just as it seemed commercial space flights were near, after a period of development that lasted far longer than hundreds of prospective passengers had expected. Branson once envisioned operating flights by 2007. Last month, he talked about the first flight being next spring with his son. “It’s a real setback to the idea that lots of people are going to be taking joyrides into the fringes of outer space any time soon,” said John Logsdon, retired space policy director at George Washington University. Friday’s flight marked the 55th for SpaceShipTwo, which was intended to be the first of a fleet of craft. This was only the fourth
flight to include a brief rocket firing. The rockets fire after the spacecraft is released from the underside of a larger carrying plane. During other flights, the craft either was not released from its mothership or functioned as a glider after release. At 60 feet long, SpaceShipTwo featured two large windows for each of up to six passengers, one on the side and one overhead. The accident’s cause was not immediately known, nor was the altitude at which the blast occurred. The first rocket-powered test flight peaked at about 10 miles above Earth. Commercial flights would go 62 miles or higher. www.edwardjones.com

BMC honored for academic achievement in athletics BLUE MOUNTAIN — Blue Mountain College recently received the Halbrook Award for academic achievement among athletes during the annual conference of the Mississippi Association of Colleges and Universities The Halbrook Award is presented to the four Mississippi institutions of higher learning with the highest percentage of graduating athletes. BMC received its award among independent colleges for graduating 100 percent of its senior athletes from the 2013-14 academic year. Blue Mountain College also earned a second
Halbrook Achievement Award for the greatest increase (17 percent) over the previous year in the percentage of athletes graduating among all colleges and universities. “It was an honor to accept these awards on behalf of the many student athletes and coaches at Blue Mountain College,” said BMC president Dr. Barbara Childers McMillin. “These awards are just more evidence that our student athletes and coaches are as serious about classroom performance as they are game day performance.” Kati Prince, a senior basketball player and bi-
ology major from New Johnsonville, Tennessee, and Brian McDonniel, a senior cross country runner and biology major from Corinth, were honored for their athletic and academic achievements. Prince expressed her excitement at being selected as a recipient of the Halbrook Award. “This means a lot to me because it recognizes hard work in two important areas of my life ... academics and basketball,” she said. “I am very thankful and honored to be chosen for the award and will continue to strive to do my best on and off the court.”
Halbrook winners — Blue Mountain College recently received the Halbrook Award for academic achievement among athletes from the Mississippi Association of Colleges and Universities. With the award are BMC president Dr. Barbara Childers McMillin, student athletes Kati Prince from New Johnsonville, Tenn., and Brian McDonniel from Corinth, and athletic director Lavon Driskell.
Walnut celebrates new designation as Healthy Hometown WALNUT — The Town of Walnut celebrated its newfound status as a Healthy Hometown for 2014 last Saturday, Oct. 25, during the Fall Festival celebration held at Walnut Ballpark. Walnut was named a Healthy Hometown for 2014, an honor bestowed by the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation as part of the annual Healthy Hometown Awards program. Sheila Grogan, Executive Director of the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation presented a $25,000 check to city leaders and Healthy Hometown committee members during the day’s festivities. The $25,000 grant will provide funding to further enhance the city’s wellness initiatives. “This is an awesome
opportunity for the Town of Walnut and the citizens of Walnut to move forward with our health and wellness,” said Walnut Mayor Vicki Skinner. “Wonderful things are happening in our community, and they will only continue to improve with the help of the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation. The excitement in the community is overwhelming, and people are stepping up to take a part and make a difference in Walnut. I commend Alderman Greg James and Alderman Kevin Winter for setting the scale for health and wellness in our community.” Municipal leaders and residents comprising the Walnut Healthy Hometown Committee are taking responsibility for their
own personal health and wellness through exemplary leadership and community engagement by hosting free seminars on disease management and leading weekly weight reduction programs. These and other wellness initiatives earned the City of Walnut a “Healthy Hometown” award in its inaugural year as a contender. Special events such as the Walnut Firehouse 5K bring participants in from as far away as New York and Florida as runners are led through the city streets by Walnut’s Fire Department. The city used the 5K as a public platform to launch “Lose a Ton,” a healthy competition for all ages with a goal of 2,000 cumulative community pounds lost in the next year. For the annual fall festival,
partnerships were formed between city officials and local businesses to offer free health screenings and cooking competitions focusing on healthy alternatives to fried foods. As part of the North Tippah School District, Walnut’s schools are aligned with the 2007 Healthy Students Act and engage in shared use activities with the municipality. School officials collaborate with local health professionals to provide teachers with “Helping the Student with Diabetes Succeed” seminars. High school students of the Walnut Youth Leadership Council host health-themed scavenger hunts for elementary students, with pedometers as prizes. As a Healthy Hometown for 2014, the Town of Walnut hopes to apply
the $25,000 grant toward building a wellness center to provide opportunities for residents to engage in physical fitness activities with the guidance of professionals. “As a small town, Walnut is making tremendous strides in encouraging the entire community to become involved in wellness opportunities,” said Sheila Grogan, Executive Director of the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with Walnut and hope their example will encourage other small towns across the state to follow in their footsteps.” The Healthy Hometown Awards were established in 2010 to reward municipalities taking the initaitive to improve the health
and lives of citizens. Other honorees in the 2014 Healthy Hometown Awards include the City of Pascagoula (15,000 or more residents) and the City of Moss Point (5,001 to 14,999 residents). Each of these municipalities will receive $25,000. The City of Brookhaven was named “Mississippi’s Healthiest Hometown” and received $50,000 to further its wellness efforts. The Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation provides targeted funding throughout the state of Mississippi, focusing on interests related to health programs for schools, colleges and universities, and communities.

‘Interstellar’ filmmaker Nolan ponders robots
Cryptoquip
BY DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — In his secrecy-shrouded sci-fi extravaganza “Interstellar,� filmmaker Christopher Nolan isn’t just taking audiences to outer space. He’s also sending a couple of robots along for the ride — and they’re just not on board to sweep the floors. “The idea was that they’d been designed to put humans at ease during extended periods of time,� said “Interstellar� screenwriter Jonathan Nolan. “They were originally conceived as Marines and programmed to engender the kind of comradery that a Marine would, so they’ve been programmed with a sense of humor and variable levels of honesty.� The sleek grey ‘bots, which can be briefly glimpsed in the movie’s trailers, are walking-andtalking rectangular slabs of shiny metal that operate like a cross between a Swiss army knife and an iPhone. Their blocky fragments can disconnect and rotate to perform a variety of actions, from pushing buttons to cartwheeling across alien planets. (Paramount declined to provide images of the characters for this story.) In “Interstellar,� out next Wednesday, a particularly acerbic robot named TARS (portrayed by Bill Irwin) accompanies a team of astronauts led by Matthew McCo-
Crossword
naughey’s pilot Cooper to find humankind a new home after an ecological disaster wrecks Earth. “If anything, he’s the one Cooper gets along with the most out of anyone up there,� said McConaughey. In an interview with The Associated Press, “Interstellar� writer-director Christopher Nolan discussed his vision of the robots, their artificial intelligence and importance to the film’s story: AP: You have robots in this movie. What did you hope to achieve with those characters? Nolan: I wanted a more realistic approach to what a robot would be. I didn’t even call them robots in the script. I referred to them as “articulated machines� because I wanted my crew and everybody to stop thinking of your standard idea of a robot. I wanted to have a machine in the film that was like a piece of gear — very tough, very resilient — that had been designed for whatever purpose best suited it. AP: How did you approach the design of TARS? He’s different from other robots we’ve seen in film. Nolan: As we pushed the concept further, it became a very minimalist appearance that disguises very complex functionality. My idea was to remove any trace of anthropomorphism, so it doesn’t have a face.
It doesn’t have arms and legs. It does have a voice, and therefore a personality. The great Bill Irwin, who was puppeteering and voicing TARS, was able to give an inanimate, non-human object a personality. AP: For their shape, were you inspired by the monolith from “2001: A Space Odyssey�? Nolan: I think, in its science fiction context, inevitably your mind goes to that — and that’s fine by me. Definitely, the spirit of “2001� hangs over the film. It was one of our aspirations to pay homage to that film. AP: The robots actually help drive the story forward. How important was that to you? Nolan: In my brother’s draft, he was really into robots and artificial intelligence. What I wound up focusing on was the issue of why you need human beings on this mission. The robots are presented as being physically superior to humans and able to lift heavier things and follow orders perfectly. We kept coming back to the idea of intuition, human adaptability and innovation. That’s driven by a survival instinct, which a robot can’t have. That makes the robots very important in the story. They take on their own incredible personalities, but they’re not human. They keep you thinking about what it means to be human.
Usher’s son critical of singing BY MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer
NEW YORK — One of Usher’s sons studies his dance moves meticulously, while the other has said to the Grammywinning star: “You’re not a great singer.� Usher says his son Nayvid Ely Raymond, who turns 6 in December, isn’t impressed with the multiplatinum singer. “He doesn’t care about what I do as much. ... He’s like, ‘I’m the star. Who are you? You sing?’� Usher said in a recent interview. “He told me the other day, he says, ‘You’re not a great singer,’� Usher, 36, continued with a laugh. His reply to his son: “What? I’m a great singer!� Usher said his son named after him, who turns 7 next month, has
taken to his father’s dance talents. “When seeing me perform on tour in the past ... and most of the time it’s past his bedtime, but he’s just sitting there studying every move, every second, like laser focus,� he said of Usher Raymond V. “And then I’ll see him off by himself doing the moves.� Usher will showcase his sharp choreography on his UR Experience World Tour, which kicks off Saturday in Montreal. He said the tour was influenced by live shows he’s seen from U2, Bruce Springsteen and Frankie Beverly. “There’s this connection and that is what gave the inspiration for this show,� he said of the veteran acts. He will play many of his hits, from “U Remind Me� to “Yeah!� to “OMG,�
on his first tour in three years. He will also play instruments. “I may be playing the drum sometimes. I may be playing the bass,� he said. “We may have a reprise on a song that you know and you enjoy for, who knows, eight to 10 minutes.� Usher, who released two singles this year, is working on his eighth album. Apart from music, he says he would like to do more movies and enjoyed his stint on NBC’s “The Voice� because was able to stress the seriousness of artist development. “This is something that was very, very important when I came up as an artist and is probably the reason why 20 years later, I am making music and performing and excited about doing it,� he said.
