County OKs arena improvement

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Crossroads Arena is getting ready to make a series of facility improvements in the coming months.

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors gave approval on Monday to the arena’s request to use $286,500 from the bricks and mortar account, which is derived from the

tourism tax. The request goes before the Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen this afternoon.

“The first one and the most important one is our parking lot,” said Arena General Manager Tammy Genovese. “It’s a liability right now. We’d like to get that repaired over the winter and spring.”

About 18,000 square feet of

front parking space at the South Harper Road facility is in need of repair.

The $286,500 figure is an estimate that includes pavement repair at $120,000 and other work such as repairs to the marquee sign, concession equipment upgrade, an elevator/lift, HVAC maintenance, roof repair and exterior painting.

The arena looks to complete

the projects during the next six months.

The bricks and mortar account has enough funds available to cover these projects, said Genovese.

In other business on a light agenda for the Board of Supervisors: ■ The board reappointed Tommy Alexander to the Magnolia Regional Health Center

Board of Trustees for another five-year term. It is one of the two county appointments on the seven-member board.

■ For the correctional facility, the board approved moving Michael Putman from part-time to full-time employment. Sheriff Charles Rinehart said Putman will be in charge of training for the regional correctional officers.

Annual open house promotes area Bazaar

to feature over 30 vendors

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Good food and fellowship was aplenty at the Alcorn County Welcome Center.

It was part of the center’s annual holiday open house on Monday.

Close to 100 individuals packed the center as Corinth native and WTVA Mornin’ Show host Kay Bain entertained with Christmas music.

“We try to have all kinds of food Corinth is known for during the open house,” said center supervisor Sherry Brown of “Our Rustic Country Christmas” event.

Several local restaurants took part in the event.

“The open house gives us a chance to promote the unique aspects of the area,” said Brown. “The welcome center is blessed to be in the city limits and be able to focus on all the local events.”

Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Christy Burns praised the center during its local event.

“They are the best salespeople Corinth has,” said Burns.

“It has been a great day for Corinthians to come out and see what all the welcome center offers.”

“We are always trying to work with the tourism office on ways to promote Corinth,” added Brown.

Local artist Tony Bullard also was on hand to unveil his latest painting – “Another Look at Abe Rubel & Co.” – during the

open house.

“All the restaurants are so good to help by bringing some of their signature dishes,” said Brown.

The open house was one of “Mississippi’s Creative Economy” events held around the

state. The “Year of Creative Economy” features both ongoing events and new activities throughout the year. It also draws attention to the state’s vast talent across the creative spectrum and the impact it has on the local economy.

KOSSUTH — Jingle bells will rock in a few weeks at the 2nd Annual Jingle Bell Bazaar to benefit F.U.E.L. Set for Saturday, December 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., prior to the first ever Kossuth Christmas Parade, the bazaar will feature more than 30 local vendors.

“The event was such a success last year, we decided to have it again this year,” said vendor Traci Underwood, who along with Jan Haley has helped organize this year’s bazaar. “This event can really help out those last minute shoppers with Christmas less than two weeks away.”

The Corinth Ballet will present ‘The Nutcracker’ this week

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Audiences will be held captive as dreams come to fruition and wooden toys spring to life during The Corinth Ballet’s upcoming production of “The Nutcracker.”

Sponsored by Garrett Eye Clinic and based on E.T.A. Hoffman’s “The Nutcracker and the King of Mice,” theatrical performances will be held at the Corinth Coliseum Civic Center in historic downtown at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 4 and Friday, Dec. 5. A matineé performance will also be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7. Doors will open promptly at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are on sale and may be purchased at KC’s Espresso, Smith. restaurant, Turning Pointe Dance Academy and The Alliance.

The cost is $5 for children and $10 for adults. All proceeds will benefit the Lighthouse Foundation and the The Corinth Ballet. “‘The Nutcracker’ is something everyone should have access to,” said Crystal Sweeney Scarbrough, executive director of The Corinth Ballet. “It is a beautiful Christmas tradition to start.”

“Dance is an art form which deserves

to be made available to children as well. Our idea was to marry the two concepts and by forming a nonprofit ballet in Corinth, we did just that,” she added. “We have the opportunity to do this every year. It will allow us to provide scholarships to underprivileged children who would otherwise miss out on the beauty of ballet.”

In addition to “The Nutcracker,” the ballet company will also offer a dance class featuring Clara herself at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6 on the historic stage of the Corinth Coliseum Civic Center.

“Sponsor packages included tickets to the dance class, but additional tickets can be purchased at the Thursday night show or at Turning Pointe Dance Academy, which is our training facility,” said Scarbrough. “This is The Corinth Ballet’s first production of ‘The ‘Nutcracker,’ but not the first in Corinth. We produced one with Turning Pointe last year and after an overwhelming response, chose to do so with our ballet company in order to benefit more children and bring the beauty of the production to everyone.”

University plans teacher training

NUTCRACKER CONTINUED FROM 1

Spectators are in for a treat as Jason Matthews brings Heir Drosselmeyer to life through surprising on-stage magic tricks.

Madeliene Gardecki of Corinth and Samma Clement of Wheeler will perform a graceful duet as Clara and the Ice Princess. Luke Osborn, a Kossuth senior with ties to the Tishomingo area, will portray “The Nutcracker” this year with a gymnastics flair while a young Tinley Warton of Corinth will once again bring to life the villain of Mouse King. Warton will also play a character in “Flowers” with Ruby Carol Dixon of North Corinth.

“The Corinth Ballet is blessed with a cast of nearly 40 youth, ranging in ages from three to 17 and one wonderful Heir Drosselmeyer volunteer, Woodforest banker Jason Matthews,” said the executive director. “The cast has students from all neighboring counties.”

Directly following the ballet, patrons will have the opportunity to take

pictures and talk to the cast members as they line the front of the stage during a meet-and-greet.

Guest appearances will be made at each night’s performance.

Hannah Johnson and Maurryn Arizona will bring the season to life with their vocal solos on opening night.

On Friday night, the Corinth Middle School choir will take the stage under the direction of Anita Temple.

Sunday night’s performance will feature a special reading of “The Night Before Christmas” tailormade for the Corinth area, by Sandy Childs.

There were also be vocalists from Studio Rossi.

Crossroad Poetry Project’s Autry Davis will serve as the Master of Ceremonies.

“The parents and cast have worked every Monday for two hours and every Saturday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. since August to make this possible,” said Scarbrough. “We invite everyone to come support this wonderful event and build a memory.”

Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A partner in a new undergraduate teacher training residency at the University of Memphis has filed an application with the state to offer 11 master’s degree programs.

The Commercial Appeal reports that it has obtained Relay Graduate School of Education’s 448-page application through the Freedom of Information Act. The university has offered Relay free classroom and office space. Instruction would be provided by a program dean whom Relay intends to hire, plus four or five adjunct professors. Relay is seeking to begin offering the master’s degree programs starting next summer.

Relay’s approval is central to the university’s plan to offer an alternative certification program geared to undergraduates entering their junior year. The plan is to attract students from other majors on campus and from schools around the nation who would be interested in teaching in the city’s high-need schools.

“We have the foundation of an agreement in place, and it’s very comparable with our studyabroad programs, which allow a student to spend a year somewhere else,” university president David Rudd says. “The nice thing about this is it’s targeted specifically to a unique Memphis problem — improving the educational quality and experience in priority schools in Shelby County.”

Joe Perry and Adam Herfer support the Arabian princesses Nova Perry, Ashley Sparks and Ali Deberry as the perform an acrobatic Arabian dance.

The university’s Faculty Senate is scheduled to discuss the program on Tuesday.

Rudd says the university’s goal is to help solve a complex staffing problem in the 59 schools in Shelby County performing in the bottom 5 percent.

“Right now, we only provide 10-15 percent of the teachers in Shelby County Schools, and we need to do more,” he said.

Relay was chartered by the New York State Board of Regents in February 2011. It is a by-product of a master’s program started in 2008 at City University of New York by the founders of Uncommon Schools, the Knowledge is Power Program and Achievement First charter schools.

The idea was to build a curriculum around the skills found most effective in helping poor, urban students make large gains on test scores. Relay now has 850 master’s students in separate studies for school leaders in branches in New York, Newark, Houston, New Orleans and Chicago. Memphis would be the sixth satellite.

According to Relay’s application, up to 40 percent of the 450 hours of instruction in the master’s program would be completed online. Cost of the 36-credit program would be $35,000. As a condition of enrollment, students must be teachers in a high-priority school in Shelby County.

Undergraduates who complete the residency would commit to teaching three years or more in a high-priority school.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, Dec. 2, the 336th day of 2014. There are 29 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 2, 1954, the U.S. Senate passed, 67-22, a resolution condemning Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., saying he had “acted contrary to senatorial ethics and tended to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute.”

On this date: In 1804, Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of the French.

In 1823, President James Monroe outlined his doctrine opposing European expansion in the Western Hemisphere.

In 1859, militant abolitionist John Brown was hanged for his raid on Harpers Ferry the previous October. Artist Georges-Pierre Seurat was born in Paris.

In 1927, Ford Motor Co. unveiled its Model A automobile that replaced its Model T. In 1942, an artificially created, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was demonstrated for the first time at the University of Chicago.

In 1961, Cuban leader Fidel Castro declared himself a Marxist-Leninist who would eventually lead Cuba to Communism.

In 1970, the newly created Environmental Protection Agency opened its doors.

In 1982, in the first operation of its kind, doctors at the University of Utah Medical Center implanted a permanent artificial heart in the chest of retired dentist Dr. Barney Clark, who lived 112 days with the device.

In 1989, President George H.W. Bush and Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev held the first talks of their windtossed Malta summit aboard the Soviet cruise ship Maxim Gorky.

In 1991, American hostage Joseph Cicippio, held captive in Lebanon for more than five years, was released.

Give thanks for life, health, Rep. Nunnelee says Associated Press

TUPELO — U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee says it was traumatic to learn that he had brain cancer and worse to come out of surgery unable to speak because of a stroke.

But, the Tupelo Republican tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, his wife, Tori Nunnelee, kept him focused on counting his blessings.

“The Apostle Paul writes, ‘In all things give thanks,’” Nunnalee said.

“I am so glad he didn’t write, ‘For all things give thanks,’ because I certainly couldn’t be thankful for a stroke.”

It was Mrs. Nunnelee who realized during a phone conversation that doctors had missed something.

She is a nurse and was doing tornado relief work for the Red Cross in Tupelo when Nunnelee was rushed to a Washingtonarea hospital with suspected heart problems.

Their daughter told her that doctors hadn’t found any heart problems and probably would release him.

Then she talked to her husband. His speech was slightly slurred.

“Instead of sending him home, they did a CT scan in his brain and found the mass,” she said.

“I knew on the phone something was not right.

I didn’t know what it was.”

After that diagnosis, Nunnelee said, his wife kept him focused on a strategy he’d embraced as

a student at Mississippi State University, when a degenerative eye disease took much of his sight.

Before corneal implants restored his vision, he said, he learned to concentrate on what he could do rather than what he could no longer do.

Every day, he said, his wife would tell him, “Tell me what you’re thankful for.”

“There were days I did not think I had the energy to answer, but she kept saying, ‘Tell me what you’re thankful for,’” he recounted.

The blessings filled up poster boards that hang in Washington and Northeast Mississippi.

Then came the stroke.

“When I woke up from the surgery, I couldn’t

ing, ‘We will pray for you.’ I can’t tell you the amount of mail we get from people saying, ‘I’m praying for you,’ and it’s bipartisan. It’s not partisan at all.”

U.S. Rep. Gene Green, a Democratic colleague, made regular visits when Nunnelee was in a Houston, Texas, hospital.

Nunnelee has concluded his cancer treatment.

His doctors said it was successful.

His recovery from the stroke continues, but there have been humorous moments, like the time his children attended a therapy session.

“They were watching me relearn how to walk, and I said, ‘Hey, guys, I taught you how to do this,’” he said.

speak at all,” Nunnelee said. “I couldn’t move my left arm, my left leg or anything on my left side, so I was very frightened.”

His progress was slow at first.

“She continued the thank-you boards,” Nunnelee said. “It helped me see how blessed I am and I didn’t focus on the consequences of the stroke.”

Nunnelee underwent radiation, chemotherapy and physical therapy.

Tori Nunnelee said the early decision to let his constituents know about his health troubles brought unexpected benefits.

“It was the best thing to do,” she said. “If he hadn’t let people know, they wouldn’t have called or texted or emailed say-

Other vendors scheduled to take part include Scentsy, Avon and Essential Oils.

“We will also have a silent auction and food ready to eat will be available for lunch,” added Underwood.

The bazaar will be held in downtown Kossuth inside the L.C. Follin Building (blue building) located next to the school campus.

For the second year in a row, the event will benefit F.U.E.L., Kossuth’s United Methodist Church children’s program.

“The program ministers children after school,” said Underwood. “The program provides the kids with food, fun and fellowship.”

Corinth, Miss.

Fast disclosure in Missouri was a wise decision OXFORD — Whether grand jurors in Missouri did the right thing will be debated for years.

Beyond debate is the wisdom of the decision to go public — instantly — with reports, photos, drawings and testimony Charlie transcripts related to the death Mitchell of Michael Brown.

There was opportunistic Columnist thuggery after disclosure of the decision not to charge Darren Wilson of the Ferguson police with criminality in the killing of the 18-year-old. What better way to take a stand against injustice than by raiding the closest liquor store and stealing all the booze?

But for truth-seekers, there was an instant stockpile of data.

And it was an enlightening stockpile. It shed light on the difficult task citizen-jurors face every day in far less volatile but equally serious cases. Specifically, two people looking at the same event will rarely, if ever, be in accord if asked what they saw.

Similarly — and this is a generalization — most of white America cannot and will never be able to sense what it is like to be a minority, to face constant scrutiny, constant judgment and suspicion. Maybe Michael Brown did invite his own destruction, but marginalized generations can’t be faulted for suspecting otherwise. And for being tired of it.

Mississippi and Missouri “sunshine laws” and grand jury systems are similar.

Officially, as prosecuting attorney Robert P. McCulloch said, Missouri statutes make the files of police investigations, once closed by authorities, open to the public.

Mississippi law does the same thing. But rather than have the grand jury and other files revealed in drips and drabs, the Missouri authorities took pains to make sure it was all out there on the Internet immediately.

Together, this told the whole world, “You may not agree with our conclusion, but this is the information we had to work with.”

McCullough also offered a lesson on the purpose and workings of grand juries as compared to trial juries.

The practice of convening grand juries to meet privately is ancient and often misunderstood. The purpose of secrecy is to allow jurors to ask questions “unfettered.” They raise no suspicion by asking questions because no one knows the questions are being. Secrecy keeps questions from being interpreted, in public, as accusations.

Grand juries are supposed to turn over rocks, conduct reviews and inspections. They are not bound by the rules of evidence that apply to trial jurors. Grand jurors can ask anyone anything.

In the end, grand juries in Mississippi are to determine whether it’s more likely than not that a crime has occurred on the facts as they have been able to distill them. Missouri uses different words: probable cause.

It is not the role of grand juries, as some have commented, to more or less defer to a public trial to clear up inconsistencies. It is their job — and not an easy one — to determine based on physical and oral evidence whether it is likely that a crime has taken place. It’s important to avoid “show trials.”

Can a skilled prosecutor obtain an indictment of almost anyone for almost anything?

Yes, and it happens a lot. Making the system work as it is supposed to work isn’t a flawless process either.

But, as President Obama said, it’s what we have.

In other countries and in other cases in this country, prosecutors have not been nearly so transparent. To hold back reports, to seal files and to pretend there are clear, straightforward answers where there are not fuels angst and anger and, yes, even more violence than has been experienced in the wake of last week’s decision.

Congratulations to Missouri officials. No state, no locality, is jealous of what the people of Ferguson have gone through since August.

But their decision to open the books and have everyone pore over the same information shows good faith and a belief in democracy.

(Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo. com.)

Prayer for today Lord God, I pray that thou wilt provide me with thy indwelling peace. May it keep me reconciled to the decline of years, and enable me to bear the earthly separation from those whom I love. May I always have hope and trust in thee. Amen.

A verse to share “And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.” Leviticus 26:12

Democratic takeover is possible slam dunk Even as Republicans are about to regain a majority in the Senate after eight years in the minority, the conventional wisdom around Washington is that Democrats are likely to win back that majority again in 2016.

That’s certainly possible, but it’s short of a slam dunk.

Superficially, the field of Senate seats up in 2016 looks as unfavorable for Republicans as the field of Senate seats up this year looked for Democrats. Of the 36 seats up in 2014, Democrats were defending 21, including seven in states carried

by Mitt Romney. Of the 34 seats currently up in 2016, Republicans will be defending even more, 24, including seven in states Barack Obama carried in 2012.

In a nation that increasingly votes straight ticket, there is a high correlation between voting for president and voting for Senate. Harry Enten and Dhrumil Mehta of FiveThirtyEight calculate that “it explained over 75 percent of the variation in results across the (Senate) races this year. That’s the highest ever.”

Democrats lost six of the seven Senate seats in Romney states in the November election, and seem almost certain to lose the seventh when Louisiana votes in its Dec. 6 runoff between Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu and Republican

challenger Bill Cassidy.

Democrats also lost seats in two states Obama narrowly carried, Michael Colorado (51 Barone percent) and Iowa (52 perColumnist cent), and came close to losing them in two more, Virginia (51 percent) and New Hampshire (52 percent). That’s about what you would expect with the president’s job approval down about 8 percent from November 2012.

We don’t know what Obama’s job approval will be in November 2016, and he will not be on the ballot, so the correlation of presidential job approval and voting for senator may be lower. But the 2012 Obama percentage will likely be a good indicator of the balance of opinion in each state.

However, Republicans don’t face the peril in 2016 that Democrats faced in 2014. Six of the seven Democratic seats up this year in Romney states were in states where Obama lost by double-digit margins. Only North Carolina was close, and Republican Thom Tillis won there by the same 2-point margin by which Romney carried the state in 2012.

In contrast, six of the sev-

en seats Republicans will be defending in 2016 are in states that Obama carried with between 50 and 52 percent of the vote – states that are no more heavily Democratic than Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and Virginia, where Republican non-incumbents were competitive this year.

In three of these Obama states, Republican incumbents have shown a capacity to run well ahead of their party – Charles Grassley in Iowa (52 percent Obama), Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire (52 percent) and Rob Portman in Ohio (51 percent). They may well do so again.

Three others would not have to run much ahead of party lines to prevail – Marco Rubio in Florida (where Obama got 50 percent), Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania (52 percent) and Ron Johnson in Wisconsin (52 percent).

Of course, it’s possible that the overwhelmingly popular Grassley may choose to retire at age 83 and that any of the others could lose to a credible opponent. But it would not be a steep climb for any of them to win, either.

Only one incumbent Republican holds a seat in a heavily Democratic state, Mark Kirk of Illinois (57 percent). But Kirk won his seat by running ahead of party lines among affluent subur-

banites, the same group crucial to Bruce Rauner’s victory in his race for governor this year. And Kirk may have special appeal for his successful fight to recover from a stroke he suffered in 2012.

One should add that it is conceivable that Republicans could lose Richard Burr’s seat in North Carolina (48 percent Obama). And sometimes a seemingly safe seat becomes vulnerable.

Eight of the 10 seats Democrats are defending are in states Obama carried with at least 54 percent of the vote, and they don’t look vulnerable. Michael Bennet in Colorado (51 percent for Obama) has been forewarned by his colleague Mark Udall’s defeat. Harry Reid in Nevada (52 percent Obama) looks beatable, especially against Gov. Brian Sandoval, who was just re-elected with 71 percent of the vote. But Reid has beaten the odds before.

Democrats do look wellpositioned to gain Senate seats, but not necessarily the number needed to overturn what looks to be a 54-46 Republican majority.

School budget proposal could get alternative JACKSON — Next November, voters will decide whether to amend the Mississippi Constitution to require the state to pay for “an adequate and efficient system of free public schools.”

It seems like a simple yesor-no question, except that legislators could complicate the matter by putting a related, alternative proposal right next to it on the ballot.

The proposed amendment is going to voters because it survived the initiative process. People working with a group called Better Schools, Better Jobs spent months gathering signatures from 121,691 registered voters — more than the 107,216 signatures required.

Under the law that created Mississippi’s initiative process more than 20 years ago, legislators have the option to put their own alternative on the ballot for any issue that survives the signature-gathering process.

However, it’s an option they have not yet exercised.

One way of looking at the option is that it gives legislators a chance to offer a sensible proposal on the same issue if petitioners manage to get something crazy on

the ballot. An alternative view is that legislators love to micromanage, and allowing Emily them to put Wagster an alternative Pettus on the ballot could confuse Capitol Dome voters and kill the petitioners’ original issue.

House Education Committee Chairman John Moore, R-Brandon, told The Associated Press this past week that legislative leaders have started talking in general terms about putting an alternative next to the education funding initiative on the 2015 ballot, but they haven’t agreed on details.

For the Better Schools, Better Jobs initiative, this question would appear on the ballot: “Should the state be required to provide for the support of an adequate and efficient system of free public schools?”

A summary, which would also be available to the public, says: “Initiative #42 would protect each child’s fundamental right to educational opportunity through

the 12th grade by amending Section 201 of the Mississippi Constitution to require that the state must provide and the Legislature must fund an adequate and efficient system of free public schools. This initiative would also authorize the chancery courts of this state to enforce this section with appropriate injunctive relief.”

Moore said he believes the initiative downplays what a judge might do if someone sues and claims state or local governments are shortchanging school budgets.

Moore is concerned that being required to fully fund education will force lawmakers to either raise taxes or make deep cuts in the budgets of other state services.

“The question that will be on the ballot, it’s kind of deceptive,” he said. “It’s not representative of what the actual constitutional amendment will do.”

In a separate interview, Better Schools, Better Jobs spokeswoman Patsy Brumfield disagreed.

“The amendment is not confusing at all,” Brumfield said. “It’s just a couple of

sentences that, very straightforward, provide a constitutional right for every child to an adequate education. And then it requires that the Legislature fully fund its share of that child’s education. I don’t know why Rep. Moore would think that is confusing. In fact, 17 years ago the Legislature promised to do that very thing — to pay its share. He may remember that.”

In 1997, the Legislature enacted the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, a complex formula designed to give schools enough money to meet midlevel academic standards.

The formula has been fully funded only twice and is unlikely to be fulfilled in the coming year.

Brumfield said education advocates “are laser focused” on preventing legislators from putting an alternative proposal on the ballot.

“The Legislature has had 17 years to come up with a better idea,” she said, “and it hasn’t.”

Bill Cosby resigns from Temple board PHILADELPHIA — Bill Cosby resigned Monday as a trustee of Temple University following a string of allegations that accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting women over many years.

The 77-year-old entertainer has been a highprofile cheerleader for his beloved alma mater in Philadelphia and a board member since 1982. “I have always been proud of my association with Temple University.

I have always wanted to do what would be in the best interests of the university and its students. As a result, I have tendered my resignation from the Temple University Board of Trustees,� Cosby said in a statement released by the university.

Board chairman Patrick O’Connor, who accepted Cosby’s resignation, told The Associated Press that Cosby does not want to be a distraction to the board. “The Board of Trustees accepts Dr. Cosby’s resignation from the board and thanks him for his service to the university,â€? the university said in its release.

Hands-up gesture animates protests ST. LOUIS — Five St. Louis Rams players entered the football field with their hands raised. A day later, people walked out of work or school showing the same gesture of solidarity with Ferguson protesters.

The pose has come to symbolize a movement, even though witnesses offered conflicting accounts of whether 18-year-old Michael Brown had his hands up in surrender when he was killed by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson in August.

The power of the symbol was evident again Monday. Protesters across the country walked off the job or away from class in support of the Ferguson protesters. Walkouts took place in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere.

At the University of Missouri-St. Louis,

not far from Ferguson, sophomore Amber Whitaker was among about 30 students who chanted “Hands up.

Don’t shoot!�

Whitaker, who is white, said the symbolism is what matters, not whether Brown literally had his hands in the air. “There are black men and women who are shot with their hands up,� Whitaker said. “There are black men and women who are shot unarmed. It may not apply exactly to Mike Brown, but it still happens.�

The exact circumstances surrounding Brown’s death will forever be in dispute. Wilson, who is white, shot and killed Brown, who was black and unarmed, on Aug. 9. A grand jury’s decision last week not to indict Wilson set off renewed protests, some of which turned violent. Â

Hispanics targeted in health overhaul WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Between the avocado and grapefruit displays, Adolfo Briceno approaches customers in the bustling Hispanic supermarket to ask whether they have health insurance.

Turn left at the bucket of flower bouquets, he tells dozens of shoppers on a recent Saturday, to spot the table covered with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina logo and its Spanish-speaking agent.

A local Mexican music radio station is doing a live remote broadcast from outside the grocery and periodically mentioning Blue Cross, backing up a line of people curious about coverage in front of the harried agent.

Such atypical approaches to selling health insurance policies are playing out across the country since the second round of enrollment under the federal Affordable Care Act opened in mid-November. Insurance companies and some states are focusing heavily on signing up eligible Hispanics, a group that accounts for a large share of the nation’s uninsured but largely avoided applying for coverage during the

first full year the health care reform law was in effect.

Hispanics accounted for just 11 percent of those who enrolled in the private policies sold during the initial sign-up period, which ended in March.

Substantially boosting the overall number of enrollees beyond the 6.7 million who signed up the first year will depend on reaching people who have been uninsured for years or never been insured, and that will mean heavily targeting Hispanic communities. Â

Hosemann: Before giving, check charity JACKSON — About one-quarter of charities registered in Mississippi are spending more than the recommended amount of money on fundraising and management.

That’s according to Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, whose office publishes a report on charitable organizations that raise at least $25,000 a year.

Hosemann is urging people to check on charities before they donate money.

The Better Business Bureau recommends charities spend at least 65 percent of their money on the cause they were formed to support.

Hosemann says Monday that about 25 percent of the charities registered in Mississippi don’t meet that guideline.

About 1,300 charities are registered with the secretary of state’s office. Â

Feds: Mercedes violated labor law The National Labor Relations Board has upheld a ruling that Mercedes violated federal labor laws by stopping United Auto Workers union supporters from handing out literature inside its Alabama plant.

The ruling by the threemember NLRB panel requires Mercedes to update its employee handbook to say that workers are allowed to discuss union issues during non-work times and that they can solicit their colleagues in mixed-use areas like team centers and atriums.

Mercedes must also post notices at the plant near Tuscaloosa to acknowledge the violation and to reaffirm that management won’t “interfere with, restrain, or coerce� workers seeking to unionize the plant.

Kirk Garner, who has worked at the Mercedes plant since 2000, was a witness in the NLRB case and is a member of the newly formed UAW Local 112 that is trying to gain representation at the factory. “We appreciate the ruling by the National Labor Relations Board,�

Garner said in an email Monday. “Still, it’s unfortunate that Mercedes-Benz had to be ordered to simply allow workers to discuss their right to organize.� “We’re hopeful it can be a turning point for honoring workers’ rights in Alabama, as Daimler does elsewhere in the U.S. and around the world,� he said of the ruling, issued late Wednesday.

FNC groundbreaking planned for Tuesday OXFORD — An Internet-based real estate listing company is breaking ground Tuesday on an expansion of its operation in Oxford.

The Oxford Eagle reports that FNC Inc. is building a 68,000-square-foot headquarters on 20 acres. Gov. Phil Bryant will participate in the ceremony.

Launched in 1995

by Bill Rayburn and three other University of Mississippi business professors, FNC said it is pioneering new ways to streamline lenders’ mortgage-approval processes.

FNC has grown to employ more than 300 people in offices across the United States.

FNC President Glen Evans said the new campus is expected to be complete in 2016.

The campus is part of a new Planned Employment Center Overlay District that was approved by the Oxford Board of Aldermen in October. “We are very proud to be the first technology company in that district,�

Evans said.

The new campus will include walking trails, a natural amphitheater

and upgraded amenities for the employees. But most importantly, Evans said, it will provide more elbowroom. Â

Reeves seeking halt of Common Core JACKSON — Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves says Mississippi should stop using the Common Core State Standards to guide its public school curriculum and should instead create its own higher standards.

The Republican made the remarks Monday at a luncheon sponsored by Mississippi State University’s Stennis Institute of Government and the Capitol press corps.

Reeves had previously blocked efforts by some senators to have Mississippi abandon the standards, saying he was monitoring implementation. He now says he’s persuaded that the federal government has “hijacked� what began as an effort by states and business groups to improve academics.

Reeves says he wants the Legislature to appoint a task force to devise new standards, bypassing the state Board of Education. Reeves says he still supports state Superintendent Carey Wright, a staunch defender of Common Core. Â

Vicksburg fixing fire department wagon VICKSBURG — A 100-year-old relic from Vicksburg Fire Department’s horse drawn fire wagon days is getting restored.

The city is spending $2,415 to restore a wooden hose and ladder wagon that bears the designation “VFD No. 7�

for fire station No. 7.

Clyde J. Ginn of Sumrall will refurbish the wagon. “That wagon is in pretty good shape as old as it is,� Ginn told The Vicksburg Post “It’s over 100 years old. They were last built in 1910. At one time, there were 29 companies using the same wheels and chrome (as the city’s wagon) on their wagons. “Some fire departments built their own.

There are oval straps on both sides of the wagon that held brass fire extinguishers. I’m going to refurbish two brass fire extinguishers and put them on the wagon so people will know what it carried,â€? he said. Â

Barber looking for homestead tax fraud CANTON — Madison County’s tax assessor is asking local homeowner’s associations to help identify rental properties in their neighborhoods.

Tax Assessor Gerald Barber told the Madison County Journal the groups can help in cracking down on homestead exemption fraud.

Under homestead exemption, the state encourages people to own homes by exempting the houses from some property taxes. The state reimburses counties and cities for lost tax revenues.

Mississippi homeowners who are 65 or older or totally disabled, who are eligible for the homestead exemption, can claim a total exemption from property taxes on up to 160 acres or the first $75,000 of the true value of their home, whichever limit is reached first.

Governor seeks boost Supreme Court considers to tourism promotion Facebook threatening case

BY BOBBY HARRISON For The Associated Press

JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant wants more people to know about Mississippi’s tourism opportunities.

To spread the word about Mississippi, the Republican governor has proposed spending an additional $5.1 million to advertise the state’s tourism amenities.

The tourism proposal was part of Bryant’s $6.2 billion budget recommendation he released in advance of the Legislature convening in January to begin the task of funding state government for the new fiscal year, which starts July 1.

If the Legislature approves the additional $5.1 million for tourism marketing, Bryant said, “We will still be behind most neighboring states.”

Currently, the state spends $3 million annually on tourism advertising the lowest in the nation, according to Mississippi Tourism Director Malcolm White.

He said Bryant is the first

governor in memory to propose increasing the amount spent on tourism marketing.

All the contiguous states spend more with the $11 million annually spent by Louisiana at the low end and the $22 million spent by Alabama at the high end.

White said the state is having good results with the limited resources provided for tourism promotion.

“We think with a little more we can do remarkable things,” White said.

“It will increase the possibility of exposing more people to the Mississippi story.”

White said he is confident that more people being exposed to Mississippi, which includes Civil War sites, civil rights sites, the blues, various outdoor activities, casinos and other historic sites, will create positive results.

Many of those sites can be found in Northeast Mississippi, such as Elvis Presley’s Birthplace and Museum in Tupelo,

Folly & Fruits of Infidelity For many generations, infidels of the various classes have lifted their voices against the Bible and against God. Jean Voltaire, noted French infidel who died in 1778, sought to destroy the Bible, and predicted that within a hundred years it would be extinct. Ironically, some time after his death, his house became headquarters for the British and Foreign Bible Society. Between 1794 and 1807, Thomas Paine wrote and published his ‘Age of Reason;’ in which he attacked the Bible.

He predicted that within fifty years the Bible would be found only in museums. Paine is hardly known, but the Bible yet outsells any other book.

Among the fruits of atheism are fear uncertainty, anxiety, pessimism and immorality. The uncertain feeling of the atheist is expressed by H. G. Wells in his book, “Experiment in Autobiography,” (pages 12, 631, 706): “And here I am at sixty-five, .. still asking for peace ... that dignified peace ... is just a hopeful dream ... but essentially impossible dream.” Verily, infidelity is a poor rod and staff upon which to lean in life, and even poorer in death.

From a title booklet, ‘Atheism and the Bible,” by J. Oswald Smith, the quotations here given show the folly of infidelity in life and its fears in death.

Voltaire. On one of his visits, his doctor found him in greatest agonies and with utmost horror exclaiming: “l am abandoned by God and man:’ He then said: “Doctor, I will give you half what I am worth if you will give me six month of life. The doctor answered: “Sir you cannot live six weeks:’ Voltaire replied: ‘Then I shall go to hell.” And soon afterward expired.

Thomas Paine. He called out in distress, repeating the same expressions without variation, “0 Lord, Help me! God help me! Jesus Christ help me! ... I would give worlds if I had them,” he published Gibbon: “All is dark and doubtful.” Jennie Gordon: “The fiends that come; 0 save me. They drag me down! Lost! Lost! Lost!” Talleyrand Periogord: “I am suffering the pangs of the damned.” Bob Ingersall is represented as saying: “Oh God; if there is a God, have mercy upon my soul if I have a soul and save me from hell if there is a hell.” The infidel has no peace of mind in life and no hope in death. This is not true of those who believe the Bible and place their trust in God. “The Bible is the only book that meets the needs of man under all conditions of life. To those who are stooped beneath heavy burdens, it is sweet rest. To the one who sits in gloom, it is a glorious Light. To him that has lost his way, it is a safe Guide. To the discouraged, it whispers a message of Hope. To the weary pilgrim, it is a good, strong Staff. To those who are disturbed by the storms of life, it is an Anchor, sure and steadfast. To those who suffer in lonely solitude, it is as a cool soft Hand resting upon a fevered brow. To those who have been hurt by sin, it is a healing Balm. How great is our need to study it daily believe it, live it.”

multiple Civil War battle sites, Nobel Prize winning writer William Faulkner’s birthplace in New Albany and home in Oxford, the Natchez Trace Parkway and numerous state parks.

Bryant said the state gets a return of $6.64 for every dollar invested in tourism. The state had 21.6 million visitors in 2013 that spent $6.25 billion compared to 21 million visitors in 2012.

Bryant said tourism creates $406 million in tax revenue and 83,000 direct jobs.

Part of the additional $5 million would be used to provide matching grants to local tourism agencies.

The local match would increase the amount spent to advertise Mississippi tourism sites.

White said the additional money would allow more advertising in markets in Texas, Atlanta, Chicago and other areas, plus would allow the state to advertise in different ways. For instance, currently the state does not do any advertising on billboards and does very little social media advertising.

It is estimated that 80 percent of the outof state tourists to Mississippi come from six states Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida.

White says he believes advertising will expand that base.

WASHINGTON — From the violent lyrics of rap music to the crude comments of teenagers in video-game chat rooms, the Supreme Court struggled Monday over where to draw the line between free speech and illegal threats in the digital age.

The justices considered the case of a Pennsylvania man convicted of posting violent threats on Facebook — in the form of rap lyrics — about killing his estranged wife, shooting up a school and slitting the throat of an FBI agent.

Lawyers for Anthony Elonis say he didn’t mean to threaten anyone. They contend his posts under the pseudonym “Tone Dougie” were simply a way for him to vent his frustration over splitting up with his wife.

The government argues the proper test is not what Elonis intended, but whether his words would make a reasonable person feel threatened. That’s the standard a jury used in convicting him under a federal law barring threats of violence.

Some justices seemed concerned that the government’s position is too broad and risks sweeping in language protected by the First Amendment.

But there seemed to be little agreement over what standard to use.

“How does one prove what’s in somebody else’s

mind?” asked Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was on the bench five days after she had a stent implanted to clear a blocked artery.

Elonis attorney John Elwood said the speaker’s intent could be determined by searching computer records, cell phone records and other evidence of context. He said many speakers being prosecuted “are teenagers who are essentially shooting off their mouths and making sort of ill-timed, sarcastic comments which wind up getting them thrown in jail.”

As a recent example, he cited a teenager prosecuted for making sarcastic comments in a videogame chat room about shooting up a kindergarten after another teen called him crazy.

Chief Justice John Roberts suggested the government’s standard simply would be whether a reasonable person familiar with teenagers in videogame chat rooms would view it as a threat. But Elwood said everyone has a different view of context and the better standard is looking at what the speaker intended.

Justice Antonin Scalia questioned whether Elonis’s comments about causing physical harm in the context of a marital dispute deserve First Amendment protection.

He said the government’s standard “doesn’t elimi-

nate a whole lot of speech at all.”

The Supreme Court has said “true threats” to harm another person are not protected speech under the First Amendment.

But the court has been careful to distinguish threats from protected speech such as “political hyperbole” or “unpleasantly sharp attacks.”

Justice Elena Kagan asked whether there should be a “buffer zone” under the First Amendment “to ensure that even stuff that is wrongful maybe is permitted because we don’t want to chill innocent behavior.”

Roberts wondered about rap stars like Eminem, who has used graphic language about killing his ex-wife that may be misinterpreted as a threat.

“You know, ‘Da-da make a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake,’” Roberts said, quoting an Eminem song.

Justice Department attorney Michael Dreeben, representing the government, said a jury can look at the context in which comments are made. Eminem’s lyrics are sung at a concert where people go to be entertained, he said.

In one post about his wife, Elonis said, “There’s one way to love you but a thousand ways to kill you. I’m not going to rest until your body is a mess, soaked in blood and dying from all the little cuts.”

‘Horrible Bosses 2’ rates a low ‘Goose Egg’ “Horrible Bosses 2,� 0, R, Jason Bateman, Jason Suderkis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Fox, Christoph Waltz, Kevin Spacey. New Line Cinema. Director Seth Gordon. Length 108 minutes.

The movie has several famous actors/actresses as the audience digs its way through some over the top scenes and language. Did I laugh several times? Yes, but the dialogue is what some will call “raunchy.�

The world is full of horrible bosses. Just take a look around and watch some of the moves that are made by the back stabber, incapacitated mouth runner. They listen to in-

dividuals who do not have enough sense to pour water out of boot.

Terry a Burns They are just lookMovie Critic ing for recognition, more money, and to make an impression on the “Hoss Boss� - one who is a beast and can basically do anything he wants. So the audience gets a dose of what goes on in the real world of bosses and kiss-ups.

Some employees want to be the come-to person, so they can be seen as a big shot, when in fact

they know nothing but a warped mind trying to obtain recognition. That part is realistic.

The main characters are Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day). These guys are not up to becoming an entrepreneur.

As one of the characters said in the movie which unfortunately has a lot of truth to it - “The American Dream is in China.�

The “worker bees� seem to be doing all the work while those we all know flatter the boss to get special attention. Lies are how they manage the process of getting their way with a weak boss.

Three individuals decide to become bosses and

make a fortune with their new ideas of entrepreneurship. Obviously, these three would-be-entrepreneurs do not have what it takes. Once the audience listens to the interviews with individuals who want to work, it will be more than obvious that being a boss is not for them.

I would say they are more like the “Three Stooges� than business executives. However, I will allow the audience to make their own decision about these three stool pigeons. Maybe it is “life imitating art� or more realistic “art imitating life.�

Dave Harkin (Kevin Spacey) is in jail as a result of the three individuals I have written about

here. He is a very angry individual. When Nick, Dale, and Kurt visit Dave, it is to their benefit he is behind bars.

Now, let us check out Dr. Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston). It is obvious she is the eye candy for the audience to visualize and hanker after.

Dean “MF� Jones (Jamie Foxx) does what he can to help Nick, Dale and Kurt. However, he is a pushover.

Burt Hanson (Christoph Waltz) is a rich businessman with a son by the name of Rex Hanson (Chris Pine). Rex is a very bad individual.

The story has way too many broken parts that just did not “bring it on�

as one of our recent presidents would say. I must cast my nay and place a zero for this movie. However, it is the second movie about “Horrible Bosses� so it may be a winner to some movie buffs. It had plenty of realism that some employees use to destroy dedicated and individuals who do what is best.

I must cast a “Goose Egg.� Just remember “One man’s meat is another man’s poison.�

See you at the movies. “Here’s looking at you, kid.�

(Terry Burns is the movie critic for the Daily Corinthian. A zero rating is rare for Burns. It means -- don’t go see it.)

People can’t, ‘you know,’ just speak properly anymore

BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Counter-communicative expressions (the most egregious offenders are “like,� “you know,� and “basically�) coupled with text-messaging shortcuts have done more to damage the arts of speaking properly and writing correctly than anything I’ve witnessed during my college teaching career.

Recently, a female student was recounting an incident at the fast food outlet where she works, in which a disgruntled customer resorted to cursing because his hamburger was garnished with a slice of unordered tomato. She introduced every sentence with “I was like,� and used “you know� as a sort of cadence throughout her conversation.

Although her listeners didn’t notice because they speak the same way, what I heard was a complete

breakdown in the ability to communicate efficiently and effectively, which I believe is the numberone goal students must aim for while earning an education. Even worse is the deleterious effects of political correctness, a liberal strategy to mutate society into a same-sex, un-individualistic entity, which I might not mind if I were a woman, but one glimpse of my craggy, unhandsome face proves otherwise.

During each semester, my composition students are disabused of politically correct notions. My duty is to teach them to focus on written communication’s Holy Grail: delivering the essential meaning in the most efficient, effective manner possible, which disallows superfluous words.

The more the cancer of political correctness metastasizes, the more it becomes anathema to those of us who believe that a society and the nation it inhabits degenerate proportionately to the degeneration of speaking and writing skills. male students can use the feminine pronouns “she,� “her,� or “hers,� but no student is allowed to use politically correct, communication-crippling combinations, such as “his or her� or “he or she.�

Meeting meals cost $1.3 million JACKSON — State agencies spent more than $1.3 million for meals during business meetings during the last fiscal year, a Mississippi public interest group reports.

The agencies also spent $517,610 at casinos and resorts, mostly in Mississippi, during fiscal 2013, the group Mississippi Watchdog reported.

The analysis was released last week, according to The Clarion-Ledger.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said he has made agencies eliminate wasteful spending on excess personnel, travel and new state cars. “However, our work is obviously not complete based on recent reports of over a million dollars spent on food and travel by bureaucrats in Jackson,� he said.

“Our work is obviously not complete based on recent reports of over a million dollars spent on food and travel by bureaucrats in Jackson.�

Tate Reeves Lieutenant governor said the state education department spent the most on meals: more than $150,000.

Department spokesman Jean Cook says about $97,000 was for 16 days of training sessions at the Jackson Convention Complex and $54,000 for a

conference for school officials from around the state at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum.

A Clarion-Ledger analysis of state travel spending records in fiscal 2013 found that it topped $40 million, including more than $477,000 by the state Board of Cosmetology.

That board spent more on travel than the governor’s office or the Department of Agriculture.

During state budget hearings, Reeves questioned some agencies’ officials about spending on travel. They included the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance, which spent about $300,000.

Department head Charlotte Corley said travel is needed to oversee banks and protect customers’ money.

Nowadays, political correctness has taken on an insidious, sinister nature: It has become a form of modern-day bigotry. The secular progress, liberal activists prancing across the stage of time attack anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their mindset — which is the definition of bigotry.

Many of them believe that those of us who are proud Southerners must be ashamed of — indeed must apologize for — our cultural heritage. They

believe that anyone who isn’t a member of a minority group must feel guilty because of the ethnicity bestowed upon them by their Creator.

Furthermore, they are outraged that some members of society, believing that homosexuality is morally wrong (an attitude they label as hate crime), don’t feel obligated to accept and associate with gay individuals.

And, in their relentless assault on patriotism and sovereignty, they are outraged that those who love America, especially we veterans, view her as the paradigm of exceptionalism.

Analysts anticipate the trend continued last month. A J.D. Power and LMC Automotive forecast calls for November sales figures, due out today, to be up from a year ago to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 16.5 million.

Wife upset over husband loaning money to friend Annie: I have a Dear Annie: Five years Annie’s pleaDearfor anyone who has a ago, my husband’s best pool, pond or other body friend, “Cary,” was in financial trouble and Mailbox ofhome.water around their asked my husband for a loan, which he sent. I only found out about it when the bank sent a receipt to our house. It was for $25,000. I nearly fell over.

I questioned my husband, and he said our loan kept Cary out of bankruptcy, so I dropped the subject. Last year, Cary told my husband he still wasn’t able to pay back any of the money, and my generous husband said he’d forgive the loan altogether. I found out about this when we planned a trip to Cary’s area. I told my husband I didn’t want to visit Cary because he’d made no attempt to pay back any of the loan, and that’s when my husband dropped the bombshell.

I am angry that my husband didn’t discuss either of these decisions with me. He has worked hard for his money, and we’ve had many ups and downs financially. We don’t take extravagant vacations, my car is eight years old, and we are paying three college tuitions. My sister is struggling, too, and I would love to help her, but wouldn’t even consider it without talking it over with my husband.

I don’t understand how anyone could borrow money with no intention

of paying it back. How can Cary sleep at night?

Should I call Cary and express my disappointment that he’s taken advantage of his best friend? -- Loser Friends Dear Friends: Your problem isn’t Cary.

It’s a husband who thinks he should be making major financial choices without consulting his life partner. He didn’t want to get into a disagreement with you, so he made a unilateral decision. It’s also possible he believes that if the money comes from his salary, it’s his to do with as he chooses. For minor purchases, that’s fine, but $25,000 could put a dent in his family’s living situation and affects all of you.

You need to discuss this with him, calmly, and explain why his actions were both hurtful and disrespectful. If he cannot understand your position, ask him to come with you to see a counselor who can mediate. We wouldn’t want this to happen again.

This past Monday, my beautiful, active, mobile 11-month-old grandson got out of the house and fell into the koi pond. Instead of planning his first birthday, we are planning his funeral.

Please, if you have any type of standing water, put a fence around it.

No parent, grandparent or sibling should go through what we are dealing with right now, especially for something so preventable. -- A Grieving Grandmother in Redondo Beach, Calif.

Dear Grieving: This is so heartbreaking.

Please know that your words of warning will save a life.

Little children can drown in very little water, and they do not have the understanding or the physical dexterity to avoid a tragedy.

And no matter how closely you watch your child, accidents happen.

Readers, whether the children are yours or someone else’s, fence off these areas or keep them behind lock and key so they are safe for everyone.

Our deepest condolences to your family.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Daily Corinthian Special Holiday Edition with three sections and over 30 pages of local columns and features will come out on Tuesday.

Dec. 16. You don’t want to miss it!

Stoic mother holds steady for son about to be deployed D E A R ABBY: Since the moment my oldest son, “Ryan,” enlisted in the U.S. Army, our Abigail family has conVan Buren been cerned he would be deDear Abby ployed.

Although Ryan graduated from high school near the top of his class and had prepared for university, his plans were thwarted when deployment orders came to face off with ISIS in a combat engineer role.

He leaves soon for the Middle East.

Abby, I need your insight in understanding why I am not falling apart.

My other children are, my relatives are, and people I speak to are stunned that I’m holding it together.

I try to explain that I support my son and must be strong for my family, but am I in denial?

Everyone else is falling apart while I, who adore him and can’t envision a life without him, seem to be holding steady.

What’s going on with me?

Am I a flawed mother?

I feel like I’m disappointing others who would prefer to see a soldier’s mother grieve and

agonize over her son’s departure, anticipating the worst. Your thoughts are most welcome. -BAFFLED IN THE SOUTH DEAR BAFFLED: You are not “flawed.”

Not everyone handles emotionally charged situations in the same way.

While you may be numb with shock, you may also be calm, stoic and not show your feelings openly.

It’s also possible that you may be “postponing” any negative emotions until if and when it’s necessary to experience them.

My reaction is that no one should judge you -- least of all yourself right now.

DEAR ABBY: I’m the father of a beautiful, intelligent 9-year-old daughter I’ll call Stella.

About three years ago, her mother married a man from an affluent family and moved three hours away.

In order to be closer to Stella, I moved there as well.

I have been divorced for six years now, and my relationship with my daughter has not improved during that time.

I spend every Thursday afternoon with her and every other weekend.

She recently joined a basketball team, and I go to her practices and games.

My biggest concern -- and pain -- is, whenever Stella is

with me she cries for her mother.

It hurts, because I have tried hard to foster a relationship with my daughter and have been unable to.

I took her to Disney World and she spent half the time crying.

I ask myself if I am only hurting her or if I should continue to see her.

Can you give me some advice? -- DISAPPOINTED DADDY IN TEXAS DEAR DISAPPOINTED DADDY: Have you talked to Stella’s mother and asked her what’s going on with your daughter?

By age 9 she’s a little old for separation anxiety.

Not knowing everyone involved, my first reaction is to wonder if there has been parental alienation happening.

My second is to suggest that you enlist the help of a licensed family therapist to find out why Stella acts this way every time she’s alone with you.

If the problem is that she is immature, ride things out.

If it’s something more, then it’s important you get to the bottom of it.

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).

If it feels like you’re not getting where you want to go, consider that a piece of karma needs to be cleared before you can progress. The wheels that will move you forward are propelled by giving back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Keep smiling even when the bottom seems to be dropping out. Sometimes the bottom dropping out just makes more room for everyone as it provides an exciting ride.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Leaders need to know how to respond graciously to success, and they also need to know how to handle things when they look bad. It’s fine to admit the flaws now and then.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It’s said that being too cautious is the greatest risk you could take. Tell that to the cliff diver who is no more. The question is: How cautious is too cautious?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One

way of preserving the peace in your domestic environment is to maintain friendly but firm boundaries between housemates and neighbors. Too much involvement and familiarity will backfire.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The restrictions come down this afternoon, but no matter. This is merely another opportunity to find true freedom, which is a state of being that has always existed inside you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Worrisome matters are dropped, not because they are completely solved, but because more important challenges call you to act. Tonight, a brief and to-thepoint talk is better than a prolonged heart-to-heart.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Developments in your finances are exciting, but keep it to yourself for now. The appropriate time for sharing is when you are sure about every aspect of this, including your opinion on the best way to spend it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Everyone succumbs to bad moods now and then -- the kind that make it seem like nothing at all is going right. If you feel yourself falling into a funk, you can fend it off by focusing on the thing that’s so good now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Beware of “love” that’s based in fantasy. Infatuation can be temporarily wonderful but equally horrible when the illusion is shattered. No one can be another person’s be-all-end-all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Don’t be surprised if an evening event causes you to horripilate.

The question is: Will it be due to cold, fear or excitement? Probably the latter, as your stars indicate an unexpected twist.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Sometimes love is saying the thing that will help the other person get through the moment. It might not be the most accurate statement, but it’s the most compassionate one.

Snakes & Ladders

Snakes are a type of reptile with long, slender bodies and no arms or legs; they are closely related to lizards. Their bodies are covered with small scales. Some of the scales are smooth, and some are rough. The longest snake in the world is the Reticulated Python, which can grow longer than 30 feet.

The smallest snake in the world is called a Blind Snake; it is only about four inches long as an adult. Snakes shed their outer skin several times a year. This is called molting. Their eyes are covered by clear scales. They have no ears or sense of hearing, but they are able to feel what is around them by using their fork-shaped tongues. They can taste smells in the air and feel vibrations in the ground. Snakes are found in almost all areas of the world, except for the North and South Poles where it is too cold for most animals. Snakes are cold-blooded which means they must use the Sun, or other sources of heat, to warm their bodies. All snakes are vertebrate animals, meaning they have a backbone. Their backbones are much-more flexible than those of most other animals. Since they do not have legs to walk with, snakes slither. The slithering motion is achieved when they move their bottom scales along the ground while flexing the muscles in their bodies at the same time. Some snakes slither in an s-like shape; some move in a straight line; and some, called sidewinders, move in a sideways motion by throwing their bodies. Snakes eat small animals. Constrictors are snakes that squeeze their prey. Other snakes are poisonous and have venom that comes out of their fangs when they bite their prey. Snakes do not chew their food; their jawbones dislocate which allows them to swallow food that is much larger than their mouths.

Once swallowed whole, the food is slowly digested. Some snakes only eat around eight times a year.

Find the different types of snakes.

You will need: A die and game pieces (such as different coins or small colored papers). Starting at the number 1, roll the die to move. If you land on a ladder, move up. If you land on a snake, slide down. The first player to number 100 wins!

Connect the Dots Always remember that most snakes are more afraid of you than you are of them!

The chaotic SEC season comes down to Alabama vs.

Missouri with no guarantees beyond that.

The powerhouse league is assured of a playoff spot only if the top-ranked Crimson Tide wins Saturday’s Southeastern Conference championship game in the Georgia Dome. It’s a precarious position for a conference that had its seven-year reign atop college football ended by Florida State in January.

“I think we have an outstanding league and we have a lot of good teams and the fact that we play each other and end up beating each other probably hurts a little bit,” Tide coach Nick Saban said

Sunday. “I think some of the teams in our division are really, really good teams and I’m sure there are some other really good teams out there that I have not seen.

“Without looking at everyone, I would think that somebody in our league qualifies to be one of the better four teams in the country based on the quality of the league and the good teams that we all have to play,” he added.

Alabama jumped over Florida State to the top spot in The Associated Press rankings after a 55-44 win over No. 20 Auburn on Saturday night. The Tide had already topped the College Football Playoff rankings.

No. 14 Missouri secured a spot in the title game for the

second straight year with a 21-14 win over Arkansas on Friday.

The Tigers likely would need some help to make the playoffs even with a win over Alabama.

“Honestly those things take care of themselves,” Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said.

“I don’t make predictions.

We’re just doing what we do. We want to play well and whatever happens, happens.”

Missouri has five division titles since 2007 in the Big 12 and SEC, but hasn’t won a league championship. That history of falling short includes a 59-42 loss to Auburn in last year’s SEC championship game.

“We prepare for this game like we prepare for any other

game,” Pinkel said. “We won’t ever change that.

“This is the fifth division championship we’ve won in the last eight years and we have not won a conference championship in the Big 12 or the SEC. That’s my responsibility,” Pinkel added.

Alabama has won seven straight games since losing to No. 13 Mississippi, fighting off challenges from both Mississippi State and Auburn.

“This team has shown a tremendous resiliency all year long to make plays in critical times in games,” Saban said.

“They’ve always been able to overcome adversity and do the things they needed to do to be able to come out on top.”

Auburn fires defensive coordinator Johnson The Associated Press

AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn fired defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson a day after giving up 55 points to rival Alabama.

Tigers coach Gus Malzahn announced the firing Sunday following a late-season slide that ended with a 5544 loss in the Iron Bowl.

The 20th-ranked Tigers gave up 539 yards to the top-ranked Crimson Tide on Saturday night in the highest-scoring Iron Bowl. They allowed an average of 483 yards and 39 points over their last six SEC games, losing four of them.

“At this time I felt it was best for our program to make a change with our defensive coordinator,” Malzahn said.

“Ellis is a true professional and I would like to thank him for his contributions at Auburn.”

Coughlin tells Giants not to worry about him

BY TOM CANAVAN Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tom Coughlin is refusing to discuss his future as the coach of the New York Giants after a seventh straight loss that he acknowledges has made him feel miserable.

The 68-year-old said the skid has not in the least taken away his belief that he can lead the team, although he refused to say whether he would return if the Giants told him

they wanted him to return for the final year of his contract.

“Don’t start that stuff,” said Coughlin, who led the Giants to Super Bowls victories after the 2007 and ‘11 seasons.

“I am not interested ... this thing is not about me. I am not interested in discussing my circumstances whatsoever. I am not worried or concerned. I am worried about my team as I said.”

The season may have hit rock bottom on Sunday

when the Giants (3-9) blew a 21-point lead against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars (2-10) and dropped a 25-24 decision.

New York had two fumbles returned for second-half touchdowns and saw the defense give up a late score for the second week in a row.

With four games left in the regular season, the Giants are assured of their second straight losing season and third year in a row out of the

playoffs.

Coughlin said he has never experienced a run like this in his career. The past three games have been very frustrating. The Giants have been in position to beat San Francisco, Dallas and Jacksonville and failed to make the plays with the game on the line. It’s been a common thread in this season marked by injuries.

Students rally to save football program at Univ. of Alabama The Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Scores of students, alumni and athletes marched to the administration building at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and rallied for hours Monday in response to reports that officials will shut down the football program.

Chanting “We want football” and “We are UAB, We are Birmingham,” demon-

strators demanded that UAB President Ray Watts come outside to discuss the future of the program, which earned a possible bowl appearance with a win on Saturday.

Watts never showed before the protest concluded, and school officials didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Protesters said they would return Tuesday.

“I’m going to fight for this

school and I could care less what people think.

I believe in my heart that it’s right,” said Zac Woodfin, who played at UAB and is now an assistant coach.

Much of the demonstrators’ anger was directed toward University of Alabama System trustees, who control campuses in Birmingham, Huntsville and Tuscaloosa.

Trustees previously blocked

UAB’s efforts to construct a new stadium and hire Jimbo Fisher, now the head coach at Florida State.

Officials have said there are evaluating the viability of UAB football, and coach Bill Clark told ESPN.com on Sunday that he expects the school to end a program that has struggled financially.

but couldn’t duplicate that feat.

Johnson was fired after going 0-12 in his lone season as head coach at Southern Miss. But he had successful stints running the defenses at Clemson, Alabama, Mississippi State and South Carolina during a fourdecade coaching career.

He has spent 18 seasons in the SEC. “This is part of the business and I totally

understand,” Johnson said. “I did think we were good in several areas, but overall it wasn’t good enough. I’m disappointed for our players, but this is a results business. I want to thank Coach Malzahn and Auburn for the opportunity the last two years.”

The Tigers were especially weak against the pass and didn’t have a consistent pass rusher with defensive end Carl Lawson out for the season with a knee injury.

Missouri is riding a six-game win streak since a 34-0 loss to No. 18 Georgia.

Barring some upsets, Alabama might be the only likely playoff team standing in the SEC after rivalry games took their toll on Saturday.

A handful of teams had been strong candidates at some point during the season.

Rivalry Saturday ended two remaining playoff contenders’ hopes.

Mississippi State, which was fourth in the playoff rankings, fell 3117 to No. 13 Mississippi.

Georgia Tech knocked off Georgia, whose SEC championship hopes

were already done, 3024 in overtime.

The Rebels and Auburn were both once in the playoff top four. Ole Miss snapped a threegame SEC losing streak.

“I won’t say this game redeems the season, because LSU and Arkansas lined up and kicked our butts,” Ole Miss defensive end CJ Johnson said. “But we’re having a good season and tonight was a really good win.”

Defending SEC champion Auburn finished the regular season with three consecutive league defeats, beating only FCS Samford down the stretch. Coach Gus Malzahn fired defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson on Sunday.

COUGHLIN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12

ers Monday, Coughlin told them to worry more about themselves than him.

As far as his critics, the long-time coach is ignoring them.

“I try to pay attention and do the job to best of my ability and my concern is with my coaches and my team,” Coughlin said. “Our organization, everybody in the Giants’ organization, lives and dies with how this football team does.

I understand that completely and the responsibility that I have my coaches and players and to our owners, we are going to work our every-loving (butts) off to try to find a way to win a game. That’s all at this point in time that we can do.”

Quarterback Eli Manning, who lost one of the fumbles Sunday that was either recovered or returned for a touchdown, said Coughlin is not to blame for the Giants’ woes.

He said the team is still playing hard and has been close to winning.

“It’s not his fault that we don’t finish games,” Manning said.

The Giants will try to end their misery on Sunday when they travel to Tennessee to play the Titans (2-10), the losers of six in a row.

Coughlin said the team

needs to stick together.

“We are being tested, perhaps, like we have never been tested before,” Coughlin said. “I have some young guys in the room that have never been through anything like I am sure. I referred to them and I referred to the old guy standing in the front of the room talking who has never been through anything like this.”

Coughlin’s advice was to stand tall, to be positive talking about teammates and to approach everything with character and integrity.

When asked how the losing made him feel, Coughlin was blunt about the skid that is the Giants’ longest since losing eight straight in 2004, Coughlin’s first year as coach of the team.

“Miserable,” he said.

“What else can I say, but I am not going to let it get me down.”

The 3-9 record is the Giants’ worst after 12 games since 1995, when they had the same mark.

Linebacker Jameel McClain said it’s frustrating to be in position to win and not do it.

“Whether we’re up by 21 or down by 21, I still want to finish it all strong if that’s even possible for you all to believe,” he said. “We just haven’t finished, so that is frustrating, not finishing.”

UAB FOOTBALL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12

Clark later tweeted: “Contrary to news, we haven’t heard any decision about our program.

We are still fighting!”

In its first season under Clark, UAB (6-6) is eligible for a bowl game for the first time since 2004.

Playing in the shadows of Alabama and Auburn and lacking an oncampus stadium, UAB has struggled to develop a fan base and consistent attendance in the nearly two decades since it joined the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Average attendance

doubled this year under Clark to more than 20,000 fans per game, but reports circulated that administrators might kill the program even as the Blazers compiled their best record in a decade.

Eliminating football would jeopardize UAB’s membership in Conference USA and associated programs including the school’s marching band.

Members of the band and cheerleaders joined in the protest at the administrative offices.

The last FBS school to eliminate football was Pacific in 1995.

Browns’ Hoyer wants to keep starting job

BY TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

BEREA, Ohio — Brian Hoyer intends to finish what he started. The Browns may not give him the chance.

Cleveland’s starting quarterback said Monday that his confidence has not been shaken despite three poor performances and believes he should keep his starting job over rookie Johnny Manziel.

“You don’t get to 7-5 in the NFL just lucking into it,” Hoyer said. “It’s been a lot of hard work, and I think I’ve proven that I’ve gotten us to this

point. I feel like I can carry us through the next four games.”

Hoyer was replaced

by Manziel in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 2610 loss to Buffalo after throwing two interceptions, continuing a pattern of bad games over the past month.

Following the game, Browns coach Mike Pettine left open the possibility that he would start Manziel this week against the Indianapolis Colts. Manziel did give the Browns a spark against the Bills, leading Cleveland on a touchdown drive

he capped with a 10-yard run.

Hoyer said he has not yet been told of his status for this week.

“Until he (Pettine) decides what he wants to do, I’m going about it as I’m the starter,” Hoyer said.

“I’m studying my tape on Indy, and I would do the same if I wasn’t. That’s just the way I’ve always prepared. For me, nothing’s changed. I go about my business the way I handle it every week, and that’s his right. He’s the head coach. He gets to make those decisions.”

Hoyer, who went 3-0 as

a starter last year before sustaining a season-ending knee injury, pointed out his record and that he has the Browns in the thick of the AFC playoff race.

“We’re 7-5 here,” he said.

“We won three games last year here when I started, so 10-5 as a starting quarterback, that’s not bad. I think — Coach Pettine always says it — there’s always a lot of overreaction regardless of if you win or lose and obviously a little more this time because of the circumstances, but this doesn’t waver my confidence in myself one bit.”
