‘It’s a sad day’

‘Culture of corruption’ Supervisor, 4 others face serious charges

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

District 2 Supervisor Dal Nelms’ alleged scheme to embezzle funds from Alcorn County could have brought more than 600 individual criminal counts against him.

Instead, “We took the top 156 most egregious to the grand jury,” said State Auditor Stacey Pickering, who visited Corinth Wednesday to announce the results of a year-long investigation by special agents of the auditor’s office.

After an Alcorn County Grand Jury returned indictments on Tuesday, auditor’s agents executed arrest warrants for Nelms, Purchase Clerk William Paul Rhodes, and county vendors Jimmy Ray Mitchell, Joseph Lin McNair Jr. and Danny Roy Peters. Arraignment is scheduled for Jan. 6. Those who had not already bonded out were in the process of doing so at midday Wednesday after being booked in the correctional facility.

Nelms, 42, of Glen, faces 156 criminal counts, including embezzlement by a public official, making false representation to defraud the government, fraudulently obtaining public funds, forgery and conspiracy. Agents also served Nelms with a civil demand to repay $308,244.71 to Alcorn County.

Conviction on all of the charges could net more than 600 years in prison.

“This is one of the more elaborate schemes that I have seen since being elected state auditor for almost two full terms now,” said Pickering.

He said taxpayers should be “incensed that a public official would betray their trust in this matter.”

Fire destroys historic block

The investigation has not concluded and is, in fact, extending its reach.

“As we expand this investigation, it will include all aspects of the county, specifically the sheriff’s office and the jail,” said McNair Pickering. “You’ve seen the headlines with our former commissioner of corrections. It would not surprise me at some point if we saw some connection.”

RIENZI — More than 100 years of Rienzi history and an entire downtown block went up in flames Wednesday morning in the edge of southern Alcorn County.

The small town’s oldest business, Smith Drug Store, along with one other business, one vacant building and one apartment were all destroyed by the early morning blaze. The fire started inside the drug store shortly after 1 a.m., when owner Trevor Williams rolled out of bed to a phone call from his security company.

“They said a front window alarm had went off,” said Williams. “My dad was the first person to get to the store. He saw a small fire in the front of the store, but he said it was too hot to go inside.

By the time the first fire truck got there, the fire had spread to a gas heater and the building was completely engulfed.”

Over 160 children to share Christmas story

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Jesus is the answer.

Around 162 children are set to tell the story of the birth of the Savior for a fourth straight year at First Presbyterian Church on Dec. 12-13.

“Christmas ALIVE: A Walk Through Christmas Experience” will depict the events leading up to the birth of Jesus.

The free walk-through event will only take 15-20 minutes to experience what actually happened during the birth of the Savior.

“I am really thankful people are making Christmas ALIVE part of their Christmas tradition,” said co-director Kimberly Grantham, who is directing the event along with husband, Brett. “It always amazes me how God works through the children … they are our best missionaries.”

The Granthams came up the idea of telling the birth of Jesus through children after praying for God’s guidance in coming up with a new way for the church to celebrate Christmas.

Over the three years of the event, over 8,000 people have attended.

“I hope all the churches in the area take the opportunity to come,” said Grantham. “We are

a community of believers and it’s important to support each other.”

During six scenes, youngsters from ages Pre-K through sixth grade will show why Jesus is the reason for the season. All of the over 160 children are part of the church’s KIDS’ Quest group on Wednesday night.

“God is the one who makes it all happen,” said the co-director. “It all completely depends on him.”

The six-scene experience begins with an angel appearing to Mary, the mother of Jesus. A

scene where an angel appears to Joseph telling him to not be afraid to take Mary as his wife is also part of the walk-through experience.

The story continues with Jesus’ birth in a stable followed by angels appearing to shepherds keeping watch over their flock.

A scene of King Herod sending out wise men along with the wise men bowing to a young Jesus is also part of the live nativity.

Shepherd and angel scenes are also part of the event.

Live animals such as camels, donkeys, cows and sheep will transport the community back in time in telling the Christmas story. Another thing which sets the production apart is the use of a live baby in the role of Jesus.

“There is something about Christmas ALIVE being held outside that makes it more authentic,” said Grantham. “It is very important to us to remain true to the scripture.”

Individuals who attend need to park at the Sportsplex. The church will have buses to transport 20-25 people at a time back to the church. Once at the church, groups will be greeted in the fellowship hall and then

Waldron Street remains open following a large pipe collapse but may have to close for repairs.

It happened where Elam Creek passes under the road near North Fulton Drive.

Traffic there is now restricted to the north side of the road, and the city is keeping an eye on it to monitor its stability.

“We’ll keep it open as long as we can,” said Street Commissioner Philip Verdung.

The structure is a large arch pipe, 7 feet tall and 11 feet wide. The Board of Aldermen on Tuesday approved the purchase of a replacement alumanized pipe at a cost of approximately $23,000 from G & O Supply of Tupelo. The estimated total repair cost is $35,000.

It is an old pipe that finally gave out with age, said Verdung.

It took seven local fire departments two and half hours to gain control of the fire which also consumed the Scott Nash Woodworks business.

“When I saw the store on fire ... my livelyhood going up in flames, it was devastating,” said Williams. “It’s a tough blow for me and my family and this town, but I know God has us in his hands and we will bounce back from this.”

Williams purchased the drug store from his father, Noble, 10 years ago.

Noble had owned the store, which included an old fashion soda fountain and hand-dipped ice cream, for more than 25 years.

Noble took over the reins in 1979. His uncle, Truman Smith, had previously owned the store and was the namesake of the long time business. Smith worked as a druggist in Rienzi for 46 years.

AUDIT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Nelms, for now, remains a county supervisor. “He will have to make his own decision as to whether he continues to serve in that capacity,� said Pickering.

As for the Board of Supervisors, “That’s a management decision the current board will also have to address of how they facilitate running District 2 and the rest of the county in light of what has taken place today,� he said.

Nelms is accused of creating an embezzlement scheme in which he used his position as county supervisor to purchase heavy equipment from a county vendor and received payments from the vendor in exchange for the purchases.

He is also accused of using county funds to pay fraudulent invoices for work that was never performed as well as for rental equipment that was never rented. He is accused of intercepting checks intended for alleged participating vendors, forging their signatures and cashing their checks. Nelms is alleged to have used county funds to pay for his wife’s personal cell phone and monthly cell phone bill.

Other charges include the use of fraudulent mock bidders to drive up the price of equipment purchased on behalf of the county; having fraudulent vendors sell Nelms’ personal items to Alcorn County; utilizing a county-owned vehicle to transport his personal boat to and from Arkansas; and purchasing personal items for his home on the Alcorn County Lowe’s ac-

Criminal indictments count.

According to documents from the auditor’s office, the scheme yielded a profit of $10,300 on a John Deere 310G backhoe; $11,000 on a John Deere 310SG backhoe; $17,200 on a Chevy C8500 dump truck; and $5,500 on a Ford F-350 truck.

In another instance, a used air compressor sold to the county for $1,000 could be bought new in a comparable model for $299 at retail.

Rhodes, 55, of Corinth, is charged with 13 criminal counts, including conspiracy to commit embezzlement, making false representations to defraud the government and hindering prosecution in the first degree. He is also accused of using his position as purchase clerk to circumvent the bidding process and conspiring with others to create fraudulent dump sites in an effort to avoid investigation. Rhodes allegedly photographed investigative notes at the supervisors’ office and provided them to Nelms.

The auditor’s office served Rhodes, who could face more than 60 years in prison if convicted, with a civil demand for $77,509.94.

The photographing of notes led to the auditor’s office securing its own office space in Corinth to continue the lengthy investigation.

Mitchell, 43, of Corinth, is charged with 32 criminal counts, including fraudulently obtaining public funds and conspiracy to commit embezzlement.

The auditor’s office alleges that Mitchell, a former Corinth alderman,

Alcorn County District Two rented this bulldozer for more than a year. When located by auditor’s agents, the engine had been removed during the same time it was being rented. participated in the fraudulent sale of nonexistent culverts to the county and fraudulent equipment sales. Pickering said he is believed to have violated a subpoena in an attempt to conceal various crimes committed with Nelms.

Mitchell, whose business was identified as North Mississippi Pipe Solutions, was served with a civil demand for $95,382.35.

McNair Jr., 39, of Glen, is charged with 31 criminal counts, including fraudulently obtaining public funds and conspiracy to commit embezzlement. The auditor’s office alleges that McNair allowed Nelms to submit fraudulent invoices to Alcorn County on his behalf

Celebrate Christmas in the Crossroads

and paid Nelms a portion of the checks once payment was received. He is also accused of allowing Nelms to use his business to sell personal items to Alcorn County and paying proceeds of the sales to Nelms.

His invoices were from 3M Landscaping & Construction.

Peters, 61, of Corinth, is charged with 27 criminal counts, including conspiracy and fraudulently obtaining public funds.

He also allegedly allowed fraudulent invoices to be submitted under his name and received a portion of the payments.

Mitchell, McNair and Peters could each face up to 150 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

The state auditor noted prior investigations in Alcorn County during his time in office, including one involving Danny Crotts, the former supervisor in the 2nd District. “I do think it’s fair to say that we are dealing with a culture of corruption,� he said. “It’s not unique

Today in History Today is Thursday, Dec. 4, the 338th day of 2014. There are 27 days left in the year.

The accident involved one car and three sport utility vehicles.

The accident is under investigation by the Ripley Police Department.

Domestic dispute results in arrest RIPLEY — Authorities are investigating a Tuesday night shooting in Tippah County.

The gunshot grazed a man, but he was not seriously injured.

Officials did not release the names of those involved, however the man who was injured had outstanding warrants and was taken into custody.

WALNUT — A new Walmart Neighborhood Market will open Wednesday, Dec. 10, following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:30 a.m.

Booneville aldermen reject rezoning request BOONEVILLE — Booneville aldermen have rejected a request to change the zoning on an area of Gaston Road that has drawn heated opposition from residents.

Property owner Roy Ellis McGee has sought to change the zoning on the lot at the corner of Gaston and U.S. Highway 45 from A1 (agricultural) to C3 (commercial).

McGee’s real estate agent Wade Billiot told the board at their previous meeting there were several offers on the ta-

Retired Educational Personnel will meet

Walnut hosts annual Christmas parade WALNUT — The Town of Walnut will hold its annual Christmas Parade on Monday, Dec. 8. The line-up will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Judging will be at 6 p.m. followed by the parade at 7 p.m.

TIPPAH COUNTY — The Tippah County Retired Educational Personnel will meet at Country Inn Too at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9 for their annual Christmas social.

Members should come prepared to pay dues for the new

ble for the sale of the property and while he could not identify any potential buyer he believes any commercial activity at the site would benefit the economy of the city.

Several residents spoke at the previous meeting on the issue to express concerns about changes to the character of their traditionally residential neighborhood, saying they believe commercial development would detract from the feel of the neighborhood, reduce property values and create potential safety hazards. They also presented a petition signed by residents opposed to the rezoning.

Mayor Derrick Blythe asked the board again Tuesday to table action on the property to allow more time to locate a comprehensive land use plan referenced in the city’s zoning ordinance which officials have not been able to find.

At the previous meeting, Blythe said without the plan any zoning issues would be in limbo.

Ward 1 Alderman Jason Michael, who represents the area where the property is located, made a motion at Tuesday’s meeting to immediately reject the request.

Michael said he believes locating the document is irrelevant and residents deserve an answer.

He has opposed the request citing concerns about moving commercial development outside of the existing business areas.

Michael’s motion was seconded by Ward 2 Alderman Jeff Williams and approved on a 3-2 vote with Michael, Williams and Alderman-at-Large Harold Eaton voting in favor of rejecting the rezoning request and Ward 3 Alderman Mark McCoy and Ward 4 Alderman David Bolen opposed.

FIRE “Our number one priority is to rebuild the block,” Williams said.

“I’ve already been on the phone with our district state representative Tracy Arnold.”

Williams said hopes the state can help the town rebuild the four destroyed buildings.

“So much Rienzi history is now gone,” said Williams. “Up in smoke in a matter of minutes ... it’s a sad day for this community.”

Volunteer fire departments dispatched to the scene included Biggersville, Rienzi, Jacinto, Glen, Pisgah, Tuscumbia-New Candler and Farmington.

Alcorn County Director of Emergency Services Ricky Gibens said the fire is still under investigation by the Mississippi Fire Marshall, the ATF and the Arson Division of the Alcorn Sheriff’s Office.

“We hope to have the investigation done by Friday morning,” Gibens said.

The store’s exact opening date is unclear, but many believe it dates back to the 1800s. It definitely dated back to 1913, according to Noble, when the drug store was opened by Howard Stubblefield.

Although remodeling took place over the years, many things stayed the same — such as a vintage ceiling fan and a skylight which was used before the store had electricity.

The store also acted as an unofficial museum of town history.

In recent years, Williams installed a security system. Bars were also installed across the front windows and doors.

“We’ve had a few unsuccessful break-ins over the years, but this time they got in,” added Williams. “Whether they intended to start the fire or not, they got in.”

Williams said the love and support from the community his family has felt since the fire has been amazing.

“We’re already planning on opening a temporary location somewhere

Rienzi’s oldest business, Smith Drug Store, along with one other business, one vacant building and one apartment was destroyed by the early morning blaze. close,” he said. “As soon as they’ll let us, we will get in there and start rebuilding.”

The building may be gone, but townsfolk will always have the memories.

Rienzi Alderman Dale Leonard remembers going to Smith’s with his grandmother when he

was young.

“What a devastating blow to the town and community,” he said “The drugstore was a vital part and one of the main focal points of the town. It served the public for many generations.”

Rienzi Mayor Walter Williams said he’ll never forget what will soon be

called the original drug store.

“My first job was there,” he said. “I was 16 years old and would go to work there everyday after school.”

The mayor said he believes the store’s temporary closing may generate up to a 75 percent loss in Rienzi sales tax revenue.

Corinth, Miss.

Hillary should stop dithering

Roger Simon Columnist

Blessed art those who are ready for Hillary Clinton, for they have the patience of saints.

Every day, they gather money and names and deep data to lay at her feet in preparation for her presidential announcement.

Every day, they chant, “We think she will, we think she will, we know she will, we know

she will!”

And every day, they are rewarded with silence.

Not since Hamlet first strode upon the stage circa 1599 and dithered over whether he wanted “to be or not to be” have so many held their collective breath for an answer.

Will Hillary Clinton run? Well, yes, of course she will run. But the official line – to call it a strategy would be to give it more credit than it deserves – is that she is torn between her duty to her country and her love for her family. One of her possible future staff members (their numbers are legion) tried to convince me recently that she may not run in order to spend time with her new grandchild.

But if she were to run and win, I pointed out, she could be not only a helicopter grandparent but a helicopter grandparent with the full use of Marine One. Yet these are her wilderness months. She received a mere $14 million as a book advance. And she remains haunted by the memory of coming “out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt,” a memory in the same category of her undergoing sniper fire in Bosnia in 1996 – which is to say, sincerely remembered but actually fictional.

But now she must force herself to take private jets around the country to deliver $300,000 speeches, where, according to her printed requests, she must have lemon wedges, room-temperature water, diet ginger ale and “a platter of crudite and hummus in the green room.”

Many of her devoted followers are depending on her to announce for president no later than January and go out and campaign already. Legally, she could continue to give speeches for huge bucks while she pursues the presidency, but that might not sit well with the public.

So far, Hillary’s non-campaign campaign is based on three things: She is the inevitable Democratic nominee. She deserves the presidency. And there is nobody who can beat her.

All are arguable. All are insufficient. Americans want to hear what you intend to achieve and how you intend to achieve it. They want to know where you will take the country and the world. They want from Hillary what Hillary doesn’t want to give them: the “vision” thing that she finds all soft and gooey and embarrassing.

But the hard fact is that Hillary’s non-campaigning campaign is not going well for her.

She is not achieving the other essential she needs to win in 2016: likability. As I have written before, in modern presidential politics, the more likable candidate almost always wins.

Hillary, it is said, will soon begin a “listening tour,” the same shopworn stunt she used in 1999 when running for the U.S. Senate in New York. Listening tours can be effective only if the public thinks you are really listening. But is there anything Hillary really, truly believes she could learn from actual people?

What she has learned so far has moved her to silence. Look at the recent coverage in Politico alone: David Nather and Katie Glueck on Nov. 26: “One by one, potential 2016 candidates are starting to weigh in on this week’s events in Ferguson – carefully. ... And Hillary Clinton?

She’s stayed silent, and her aides are giving no sign that that’s about to change.”

She is continuing to drop when matched against potential Republican rivals. “Any lead Clinton does have is almost entirely attributable to being better known,” Enten wrote.

Enten admitted such polls “are not very predictive” at this stage of the game but concluded that Hillary “no longer looks like such a juggernaut.”

Hillary has the clout to scare off some Democratic primary opponents, but not Republican opponents. True, she might be lucky enough to face off in a general election against some wacko Republican extremist who virtually hands the election to her.

But depending upon your enemy to do the right thing is a dangerous way to begin any battle.

Hillary needs to announce for the presidency. Soon. The media have moved from Hillary fatigue to Hillary exhaustion, and this is not helping her.

She needs to make her announcement speech in front of a live audience, not on videotape like last time.

And she needs to present not just competence and vision but a likable personality that her friends insist represents the true her.

This is called campaigning, and though it doesn’t always come with hummus and crudites, it might just make her president.

Rereading ‘Of Mice and Men’ FISHTRAP HOLLOW — I walked out to the little house in the yard that stores my books. From my personal library that techie friends keep telling me is silly and superfluous, I found with no trouble my battered old copy of “Of Mice and Men.” Taped and raggedy and dog-eared, it feels in my hands like life.

I reread Steinbeck every now and then to renew my belief that it’s the most important American book ever written. Ferguson, Missouri, made me need to read it again right now.

The new violence caused by ancient injustices is sad in so many ways that I wanted, needed, to see again in my mind that scene when Crooks lets Lennie sit in his lonely room.

I’m thankful for John Steinbeck’s 1937 take on man’s inhumanity to man.

I’m sorry we haven’t all learned more from it.

It’s true that life gets harder with each passing

year. And yet, as Lucinda Williams wrote in her response to a friend’s suicide, this old Rheta world still Johnson has sweet things we’d Columnist miss if life were over.

For one, I’d miss hearing what Lucinda might write and sing next.

Lucinda’s new album contains one of her finest yet, based on something her poet father said to her in a phone conversation. “The temporary nature of any precious thing/That just makes it, just makes it more precious/But not easier, not easier to lose/To lose somebody as precious as you.”

And while her song is about her father, his insight, it’s also about your father, and my father, who died a year and a few weeks ago.

I’m thankful he was in my life for so long, and that his

cobalt-blue marlin is swimming now in the turquoisegreen waves of my dining room. I can look at it and imagine how he must have felt that summer’s day as he reeled it in.

I’m grateful for full moons on the Mississippi Sound, frosty glazes on the hay field in the hollow, friends who remember I love pumpkins and surprise me with a bounty when I return from a long trip. I remain thankful for an old house with weak floors and strong memories, a branch that never runs dry and a porch that more often than not is filled with music.

I’m thankful for ol’ Hank, who wrote everything I’d ever need before he died at age 29, and for a friendship with his daughter. All of my friends make life sweeter, and though I don’t always say or show it, my friends mightily matter. All of them.

An artistic new friend named Kathleen McFadden took a photograph she calls “Braydon and Gracie,” an

exquisite portrait of a boy and his dog, both of them tan-brown like the West Texas dirt on which they sit.

The trusting mama dog is draped across the bare legs of the little boy, who looks down at Gracie with the most protective and loving pose I’ve ever seen.

Why can’t we maintain in our lives a child’s guileless stance, the pure love of other creatures, great and small, rich and poor, all races and creeds? Why must we learn to hate?

Kathleen’s poignant image reminds me of the childlike Lennie, who just wanted to pet the pups, and the temporary nature of any precious thing. And I am thankful, oh, so thankful, that there is such breathless beauty to compete with the ugliness in this sweet old world.

Response to Ferguson rioters: Restitution and shaming No matter whose side you are on in the upheaval following the killing of Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, everyone should agree on the profound sadness of it all: sadness that an 18-year-old boy-man walked a path that led to his destruction; sadness that a police officer felt the need to defend himself by shooting another human being; sadness over the rioting and looting that followed a grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Wilson; and for some, sadness that Wilson was not indicted.

Much of the sadness was encapsulated in a sound bite I saw on one TV network. An African-American business owner, surveying the destruction of his store, plaintively asked, “How am I going to feed my kids?”

I have an answer and it is one that should be applied to anyone convicted of riotous behavior, destruction of property and looting. It’s called restitution.

Restitution is an Old Testament concept instituted to remind people that when one harms another person, or steals or destroys property, someone else suffers

and deserves reimbursement. It says the state is less a debtor than the victim of a Cal crime. ResThomas titution can also instill Columnist true moral guilt in a person, which can lead to genuine repentance and a decision by the perpetrator to make different choices leading to a better life.

As the authorities in Ferguson examine videos that show the faces of many of the rioters and looters, charges will undoubtedly be filed. If convicted, the perpetrators should be forced to pay for the damage they caused. If they have jobs, their paychecks should be garnished. If they are on welfare, those checks should be forwarded to the businesses they destroyed. If they receive food-purchasing assistance, that assistance should be withdrawn.

This should be the practice going forward. Those who destroy their communities will be required to pay back those harmed by their hooliganism and forfeit any

government benefits they receive. This might require legislation, but politicians should have the public’s support.

A close relative of restitution is shaming. The convicted should be brought before those harmed by their behavior and publicly shamed. No one seems to be ashamed of anything nowadays, but shaming might help prevent future violence. Rioters and looters who are black could be shamed by law-abiding African-Americans. They can be asked, “Is this why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. marched and went to prison? Is this why he paid the ultimate price? Would he and other civil rights leaders dating back to Frederick Douglass be proud of your behavior today? Don’t you owe them something better than this?”

Perhaps if people realize that their destructive behavior will cost them something, they might think twice about harming others and robbing them of a living. People from around the country are reportedly donating money to help those whose businesses were destroyed. That again dem-

onstrates the generosity of Americans of all races and backgrounds.

While donations will help, along with insurance, if it covers damage caused by violent protesters, the lawbreakers should still be required to take responsibility for their actions. In addition to whatever legal penalties might result, restitution and shaming should be part of the punishment.

We’ve gotten away from personal responsibility and accountability, preferring instead to cast lawbreakers as “victims,” when the true victims are often ignored.

Too often many blame others for their circumstances.

Too often many feel entitled to what others have achieved through hard work and dedication. Too often too many feel justified in taking and destroying the property of others instead of working and building for themselves.

If they don’t feel ashamed, they should.

Prayer for today

A verse to share

Almighty God, show me what thou hast given for me to do, that I may not leave undone that which is mine. Forgive me for useless planning and blind asking for the things which cannot be mine. I pray that my work may be honest work, well done, and acceptable for thy service. Amen.

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” Leviticus 17:11

Hardliners oppose immigration actions WASHINGTON — In a defiant challenge to GOP leaders, immigration hardliners in Congress announced Wednesday they will oppose upcoming legislation to keep the government open. They demanded specific provisions to stop President Barack Obama’s executive actions that granted a reprieve from deportation for millions. “We aren’t with our vote going to give him one dime to execute his illegal action, and we believe the American people are going to stand with us,� said Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., at a press conference outside the Capitol where she was joined by other House conservatives and Sen. Ted Cruz, RTexas.

Cruz warned against “having a meaningless show voteâ€? and said: “We should announce we mean what we say, we will use our constitutional authorities to force this president to faithfully execute the laws.â€? Â

House OKs more help for disabled WASHINGTON — In a bipartisan show of unity, the House overwhelmingly approved a bill Wednesday to allow Americans with disabilities to open tax-free bank accounts to pay for expenses from education to housing and health care.

The 404-17 vote approves the most sweeping legislation to help the disabled since 1990, affecting as many as 54 million disabled people and their families who often struggle to pay for intensive forms of care.

It now goes to the Senate, where it was expected to move quickly to passage in the coming days.

At a time when Congress is bitterly divided over immigration, taxes and spending, House members touted the bill as evidence that both parties can get things done. First introduced in 2006, the legislation, called the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act, lists 85 percent

of Congress as cosponsors, even after a conservative group criticized it as a “decisive step in expanding the welfare state.â€? Â

House passes tax break extension WASHINGTON — The House rushed through a last-minute measure Wednesday to extend a massive package of expired tax breaks for banks, investment firms, commuters and NASCAR track owners.

The bill would enable millions of businesses and individuals to claim the tax breaks on their 2014 returns. It would add nearly $42 billion to the budget deficit over the next decade.

The more than 50 tax breaks benefit big corporations and small businesses, as well as teachers and people who live in states without a state income tax.

More narrow provisions include tax breaks for filmmakers, racehorse owners and rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. “With the end of the year and a new tax filing season rapidly approaching, we need to act,� said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. “The IRS has been clear that unless Congress acts quickly, it will be forced to delay the start of the tax filing season.�

The bill passed 378-46. It now goes to the Senate, where Democratic leaders have been noncommittal about whether they would accept it or try to change it. Time is short because the House plans to adjourn for the year next week, and the Senate could as well. Â

Pregnant women to get better drug info WASHINGTON — Pregnant women are about to get easier-tounderstand information on how safe their medicine is for baby.

The Food and Drug Administration is revamping how lists any risk, scrapping a system that confused both doctor and patient in favor of spelling out what’s known and what’s not on the multipage labeling inserts that come with prescrip-

tion drugs. “More information about drugs will be provided than ever before,�

Dr. Sandra Kweder of FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said Wednesday.

There are more than 6 million pregnancies in the U.S. every year, and FDA says women take an average of three to five prescription drugs during pregnancy. They may have a pregnancyrelated infection or morning sickness. Or they may have an ongoing condition — asthma, diabetes, epilepsy or depression — that could dangerously worsen if they avoided treatment because of drug concerns.

Few medications have been fully studied to answer those questions, or even tell if the woman’s changing body requires a different dose. Â

Firm tied to federal Katrina probe closes JACKSON — A contractor tied to a utility under federal investigation for its spending after Hurricane Katrina is quitting business.

S. H. Anthony Construction Co. plans to auction its equipment on Dec. 18 in Gulfport, according to the website of auction house Alex Lyon & Son. The website says owner Sean H. Anthony has decided to retire and that the auction of more than 50 trucks, excavators and bulldozers is a complete liquidation.

Anthony and his lawyer did not respond to calls and emails seeking comment Wednesday.

S. H. Anthony built and maintained sewer lines for the Harrison County Utility Authority until it was fired in March 2013.

That move came after the Sun Herald newspaper reported that Anthony had bought a car and signed over the title to then-authority director Kamran Pahlavan. The two said Pahlavan was paying Anthony back.

Pahlavan was fired in February 2013.

Authority board member Marlin Ladner said Wednesday that federal officials have subpoenaed records and talked to some staff at the authority about its spending. However, the status of that investigation is unclear. Â

Iran hits militants in Iraq, U.S. says WASHINGTON — Iranian jets have carried out airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq in recent days, Pentagon officials and independent analysts say, underscoring the strange alliances generated by the war against the extremist group that has beheaded Americans and killed and terrorized Iraqi civilians.

Washington and Tehran are locked in tough negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

But the two adversaries have been fighting parallel campaigns on the same side in Iraq to defend the Shiite-dominated government — and the region’s Kurds — from IS militants who seized a large section of the country.

It has long been known that Iranian troops and advisers have been fighting alongside Iraqi forces, but until this week there had been no confirmation of Iranian air activity. The timing and nature of the strikes are not clear, but a senior U.S. official said they occurred in Diyala province, which extends from northeast Baghdad to the Iranian border.

The official spoke only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose that information.

City Council election decided by one vote GREENWOOD — Andrew Powell has won a Greenwood City Council special election by one vote.

The Greenwood Commonwealth reports Powell defeated Norman Smith, 112 votes to 111 in a largely symbolic election Tuesday.

Smith died of heart failure on Nov. 19. However, the ballots for the special election had already been printed at the time of his death.

The election was scheduled after the Mississippi Supreme Court upheld a ruling that Dot Glenn was ineligible to serve because she did not live in Ward 5 when she was elected in 2013.

Powell was going to win the special election

regardless of how many votes were cast.

If Smith had gotten a majority of votes, the state attorney general’s office says the ballots would be considered “illegalâ€? and wouldn’t be counted. Â

Motion: Jail snitch should tell rights GRETNA, La. — If a man accused of killing and dismembering a Bourbon Street dancer gets an alleged jailhouse confession thrown out and the ruling stands up on appeal, it could end the use of “jailhouse snitches� nationwide, says a defense attorney unconnected to the case.

Attorney John Benz contends that prosecutors should not be allowed to use Terry Speaks’ alleged confession because the cellmate who heard it was acting as a state agent and should have had to tell him he had a right not to incriminate himself.

Steven Rue, a Kenner defense attorney, told The Associated Press he hadn’t heard the argument before. “If it were to be successful it would be used around the United States,� he said. “Jailhouse snitches would essentially not be effective.�

Whatever the district judge decides, he said, the decision probably will be appealed.

Speaks and his girlfriend, Margaret Sanchez, have both pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Jaren Lockhart, who was stabbed to death in 2012. Parts of her body washed up on Mississippi beaches.

Benz filed a motion

Monday saying that one of Speaks’ cellmates, Christian Del Rosario, should have been required to tell Speaks that he had a right to remain silent or consult an attorney, and that anything he said might be used against him. Â

Gulf Coast lawmaker not backing tax cut BILOXI — A Republican state lawmaker says Gov. Phil Bryant should drop a tax cut proposal and instead undertake a rewriting of Mississippi’s tax laws.

The Sun Herald reports the comments of Rep. Scott DeLano of Biloxi came during a Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce Legislative Update on Wednesday.

Bryant, also a Republican, said last month he wants to cut taxes for Mississippians who earn less than $53,000 as part of his 2016 budget proposal.

The cut would return $78.7 million to about 300,000 households, an average tax cut of about $250 a year, Bryant has estimated. “All this talk about tax breaks and tax cuts and all this stuff is just political hogwash, in my opinion,� DeLano said at the forum. “I would love to be able to give tax cuts to every Mississippian, not just a select few. I’d like to see taxes reduced on groceries and pharmaceuticals.�

The problem, DeLano said, is Mississippi is a poor state that needs a wholesale review of the tax codes in an attempt to make the system better. “We have to provide the necessary dollars, especially for our roads and bridges,� he said.

Obama, McConnell hold meeting

BY JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON — In a rare one-on-one meeting, President Barack Obama and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday sized up the prospects for bipartisan cooperation between a White House and Republican Party that have struggled for years to find common ground.

Ahead of the Oval Office meeting, Obama outlined his most specific blueprint yet for striking compromises with Congress when the GOP takes full control of Capitol Hill next month.

The president said there was “definitely a deal to be done” on overhauling the nation’s complicated tax code, but suggested it could take lawmakers more than six months to iron out the details of such an agreement. He said a deal on infrastructure spending could be included in a tax overhaul package and predicted progress on overseas trade agreements.

On immigration, Obama said he expected Republicans to attempt to dismantle his recent executive orders, then eventually come around

to the idea of pursuing legislation to deal with the millions of people in the U.S. illegally.

“I don’t think that’s something this Congress will be able to do right away,” Obama said during a question-andanswer session with business leaders. “Temperatures need to cool a bit in the wake of my executive action.”

McConnell, the Kentucky lawmaker who is soon to become Senate majority leader, has broadly agreed with Obama’s calls for tax reform, improving the nation’s infrastructure and inking free trade pacts.

But McConnell said Tuesday that he has been “perplexed” by Obama’s response to his party’s sweeping defeats in the midterm elections last month, specifically his decision to press forward with presidential directives on immigration.

“I don’t know what we can expect in terms of reaching bipartisan agreement,” McConnell said. “That’s my first choice, to look at things we agree on — if there are any.”

Neither McConnell nor Obama spoke publicly after their hour-long meeting Wednesday.

The two men have a chilly relationship, with McConnell having famously asserted after the January 2009 inauguration that his goal was to make Obama a one-term president.

The senator’s office said Wednesday’s meeting marked just the third time the two men have met face-to-face without other lawmakers. They met one-on-one in 2010 and held another discussion in June 2011, a meeting Vice President Joe Biden also attended, according to McConnell’s office.

The day after Democrats’ defeats in the midterm elections, the president suggested he would be open to more personal time with McConnell.

“I would enjoy some Kentucky bourbon with Mitch McConnell,” said Obama, who last year mocked the idea of having a drink with the GOP leader. Then, offering a glimpse into how little time Obama has spent cultivating a relationship with McConnell over the past six years, the president added, “I don’t know what his preferred drink is.”

On Capitol Hill, some Republican lawmakers remained skeptical of the

prospects for bipartisan agreement, but said the mere fact that Obama and McConnell were meeting face-to-face was a positive step.

“At least they’re doing something that they didn’t do, as I understand it, the first couple of years,” said Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo. Sen. Bob Corker, RTenn., said that while Obama’s relationship with Republicans “started out in a not positive way,” the GOP would have to seek ways to work with him over the next two years.

“The fact is he is the president who the people of our nation elected to work with over the next couple of years,” Corker said. “If you want to get big things done, he’s got to be involved.”

While much of Washington’s focus following the election has been on Obama’s relationship with the GOP, the president also faces tests in bringing his own Democratic Party along on some of his top priorities for 2015.

He’s particularly at odds with his party on free trade agreements, which some Democrats see as harmful to American workers.

Air bag maker refuses to expand recall Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Japan’s Takata Corp. rejected federal regulators’ demand Wednesday for an expanded, nationwide recall of millions of air bags, setting up a possible legal showdown and leaving some drivers to wonder about the safety of their cars.

Amid the standoff, Honda Motor Co. decided to act on its own and recall cars with the potentially defective equipment in all 50 states. But other automakers have yet to make a decision.

At issue are air bags whose inflators can explode with too much force, hurling shrapnel into the passenger compartment. At least five deaths and dozens of in-

juries have been linked to the problem worldwide.

Over the past six years, Takata and 10 automakers issued a series of recalls covering 8 million cars in the U.S., mostly in high-humidity areas such as the Gulf Coast, because of evidence that moisture can cause the propellant to burn too quickly. But after incidents in California and North Carolina, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began pressing for the recall of 8 million more vehicles from coast to coast — a demand that Takata flatly rejected.

“There’s not enough scientific evidence to change from a regional recall to a national recall,” Hiroshi Shimizu,

Takata senior vice president of global quality assurance, told a House subcommittee on Capitol Hill.

Takata also contends that NHTSA has authority to seek recalls only from auto manufacturers and makers of replacement parts, not from original parts suppliers — a position NHTSA contests.

Shimizu insisted that the air bags are safe: “I would drive a car with a Takata air bag.”

David Friedman, NHTSA deputy administrator, said he was “deeply disappointed” by Takata’s response.

The agency is now gathering proof that a recall is needed, which it will present at a public

hearing. After that, NHTSA could order Takata to undertake a recall, and could take the company to court if it refuses. But Friedman acknowledged that could take months.

“It’s time for industry to step up,” Friedman told lawmakers. “Until (Takata) and automakers act, affected drivers won’t be protected.”

The stalemate is likely to add to the confusion among car owners, many of whom are already bewildered because some of the recalls have covered driver’s-side air bags, while others applied to passenger-side air bags, and a few covered both. The NHTSAdemanded recalls would involve driver’s-side air bags.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES” Paul admonished the Corinthians, “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves ...” (2 Cor 13:5). Teachers in the field of education, give tests to see whether students have mastered the materials taught. The Lord has Christians on the honor system to examine ourselves to see whether we are in “the faith”. It must be possible to know whether we are in the faith or Paul would not have given the Corinthians this admonition.

The expression “the faith” appears forty-three times in the New Testament and refers to the only faith taught in the New Testament. Paul referred to the one faith when writing to the Ephesians. “One Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Eph 4:S). All who believe the Bible to be inspired of God should be willing to accept what the Bible teaches on any and all subjects.

There is a way to determine whether one is in “the faith”. We live under a system of faith that is produced by the word of God. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom 10:17). When we obey the word of God, we are in “the faith”. When we reject or refuse to accept what the Bible teaches, we are not in “the faith. Therefore, we must examine ourselves by comparing what we believe and do by what the Bible teaches.

Paul reveals that all spiritual blessings are in Christ. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Eph 1:3). Since all spiritual blessing are in Christ, we need to know how to get into Christ where all spiritual blessings are. Paul tells how we get into Christ in Romans 6:3, “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death”? Those who have been baptized into Christ and into his death have access to all spiritual blessings and are in Christ and are also in “the faith”.

It is necessary for one to become a Christian to be in “the faith” and continue to obey the word of God to continue in “the faith”. “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1 Tim 4:1). When we do what the Bible teaches are we in “the faith”?

No indictment for NYC officer Medicare signup

BY TOM HAYS AND COLLEEN LONG Associated Press

NEW YORK — A grand jury cleared a white New York City police officer Wednesday in the videotaped chokehold death of an unarmed black man who had been stopped on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes — a case that sparked outrage and drew comparisons to the deadly police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.

The decision in Staten Island not to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo threatened to add to the tensions that have simmered in the city since the July 17 death of Eric Garner.

Jonathan Moore, an attorney for Garner’s family, said he was told of the grand jury’s decision. Two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the case, confirmed the officer was not indicted.

“I am actually astonished based on the evidence of the video tape, and the medical examiner, that this grand jury at this time wouldn’t indict for anything, is really just astonishing,” Moore said.

The grand jury could have considered a range of charges, from murder to a lesser offense such as reckless endangerment.

Garner’s family planned a news conference later in the day with the Rev. Al Sharpton. The Staten Island District Attorney’s office didn’t immediately respond to a call. There was no immediate comment from Pantaleo’s attorney nor the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, a union that has strongly backed the officer.

A video shot by an onlooker and widely viewed on the Internet showed the 43-year-old Garner telling a group of police officers to leave him alone as they tried to arrest him.

Pantaleo responded by wrapping his arm around Garner’s neck in an apparent chokehold, which is banned under NYPD policy. The heavyset Garner, who had asthma, was heard repeatedly gasping, “I can’t breathe!” A second video surfaced that showed police and paramedics appearing to make no effort to revive Garner while he lay motionless on the ground. He later died at a hospital.

As with 18-year-old Michael Brown’s death in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, the Garner case sparked protests, accusations of racist policing and calls for federal prosecutors to intervene.

But unlike the Missouri protests, the demonstrations in New York re-

mained mostly peaceful.

The case also prompted Police Commissioner William Bratton to order officers at the nation’s largest police department to undergo retraining on use of force.

The medical examiner ruled Garner’s death a homicide and found that a chokehold contributed to it. A forensic pathologist hired by Garner’s family, Dr. Michael Baden, agreed with those findings, saying there was hemorrhaging on Garner’s neck indicative of neck compressions.

Police union officials and Pantaleo’s lawyer have argued that the officer used a takedown move taught by the police department, not a chokehold, because he was resisting arrest and that Garner’s poor health was the main reason he died.

While details on the grand jurors were not disclosed, Staten Island is the most politically conservative of the city’s five boroughs and home to many police and firefighters. The panel began hearing evidence in late September, including the video, autopsy results and testimony by Pantaleo.

Pantaleo had been stripped of his gun and badge and placed on desk duty while the case was under investigation.

He is likely to remain on modified duty while the NYPD conducts an in-

ternal investigation that could result in administrative charges.

In anticipation of the announcement on the grand jury decision, police officials met with community leaders on Staten Island to head off a repeat of the response in Ferguson, where a grand jury decided not to indict the white officer who shot the black teen. Demonstrations there turned violent, resulting in more than 100 arrests and destruction of 12 commercial buildings by fire.

The last officer to be indicted in the death of a civilian was Richard Haste, charged in the February 2012 killing of Ramarley Graham in the Bronx. Graham was shot in a tiny bathroom in the three-family home where he lived with his grandmother. He was chased there by Haste who believed he was selling drugs.

Haste said he fired his weapon because he thought he was going to be shot. But no weapons were found in the apartment.

The officer was indicted on manslaughter charges in the summer of 2012, but the charges were dismissed by a judge who said prosecutors improperly instructed the grand jurors. A second grand jury decided not to re-indict the officer.

Seasonal flavors bring boost to sales Associated Press

NEW YORK — Lisa Hanock-Jasie turns into coffee fiend during the holidays, mainly because she loves the peppermint lattes.

“I love the warmth of the cup in my hand, the aroma just makes me feel happy and calm and good,” said HanockJasie, a 59-year-old resident of New York City.

“It makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.”

Those kinds of emotions have turned the last few months of the year into a flavor derby, with companies putting everexpanding variations of cinnamon, gingerbread and peppermint in everything from pumpkin pie ChapStick to peppermint Pringles.

It’s not just snacks and drinks, either. Candles, lip balms and lotions let you literally bathe in holiday spirit — or at least smell like you did.

Consider the proliferation of pumpkin spice products, now as much a sign of fall as college football and the leaves turning color. According to the industry tracker Technomic, there were 199 pumpkin-flavored items at the country’s 500 biggest restaurant and coffee chains this fall. That’s up 58 percent from the 126 just two years ago.

Limited-time flavors are a proven way to attract customers throughout the year, of course; the McRib likely wouldn’t have its mythical status if it were a fixture on McDonald’s menu. But flavors like candy cane and gingerbread are particularly popular because of

“It’s an overall trend around the sophistication of palates.

(People) are more accepting of different flavors and different flavor combinations.”

Mark Miller Marketing director the power scents and flavors have to evoke time spent with loved ones.

“It’s about the emotions it triggers,” said Tawana Burnett, senior marketing director for ChapStick, which this year introduced a pumpkin pie flavor for the holidays, in addition to its candy cane variety.

Companies don’t disclose exactly how much seasonal offerings drive sales, but the proliferation is an indicator of how indispensable they’ve become to stay competitive. For some shoppers, that peppermint mocha (don’t forget the red cup) or gingerbread cake can become its own tradition.

Starbucks, for instance, planned to make its eggnog latte, which was introduced in 1986, available only in the Northwest this year. But after an outpouring of complaints by customers in other parts of the country, the coffee chain decided to make it available nationally.

A drawback of that kind of success is the imitation it invites. Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has noted the popularity of the chain’s Pumpkin Spice Latte since its introduction in 2003 has helped spawn a new category. Last year, even McDonald’s joined

Merry Christmas from

the ranks of chains offering a pumpkin spice drink.

As such, companies are trying to stand out with new flavors or twists on traditional offerings.

This year, Starbucks introduced a Chestnut Praline latte, bringing its number of holiday drinks up to five — the most ever. IHOP is introducing Pumpkin Cheesecake and Caramel Bon Bon pancakes, as well as bringing back its Raspberry White Chocolate Chip pancakes.

Dunkin’ Donuts is offering Sugar Cookie and Snickerdoodle Cookie lattes, in addition to Peppermint Mocha. John Costello, president of global marketing and

innovation at Dunkin’ Brands, said it’s a way to keep the chain “top of mind during a hectic holiday season.”

The need to come up with new flavors also speaks to the seemingly endless appetite for different tastes.

“It’s an overall trend around the sophistication of palates. (People) are more accepting of different flavors and different flavor combinations,” said Mark Miller, who heads the Pringles business at Kellogg.

It’s why Pringles introduced three seasonal flavors in 2012, including White Chocolate Peppermint. They were so popular Pringles expanded to five flavors this year, including Milk Chocolate and Tortilla Cinnamon Sugar. The thought of such flavors on chips might make some gag, but Miller said they’re meant in part to be a conversation piece.

“Especially around the holidays, consumers are expecting a whole lot of fun,” he said.

deadline nearing

BY TOM MURPHY AP Business Writer

Millions of Medicare Advantage customers are fast approaching a deadline for a task they’d rather avoid: Researching and then settling on coverage plans for 2015.

The annual enrollment window for the privately run versions of the government’s Medicare program for the elderly and disabled people closes on Sunday. This is the main opportunity most customers have each year to adjust their health coverage, and it may be worth paying extra attention to the details.

Insurers frequently tweak their coverage plans from year to year, but brokers and other industry insiders say they’re seeing more changes over the past few years as companies weed out lower-quality coverage and adjust to government funding cuts.

About 4 percent of Medicare Advantage enrollees, or roughly 480,000 people, will have to find new coverage for 2015 because their current plan won’t exist, according the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation, which studies health care issues. Last year, more than 500,000 people faced that choice.

Customers who lose their old plans may be eligible to pick coverage in a special election period that runs through the end of February.

Other customers with discontinued plans are being automatically enrolled in another option offered by the same insurer. Companies generally try to limit the coverage changes in these cases, but the plans may not be identical, especially when comparing premiums.

“It really pays to shop around,” said Dwane McFerrin, a vice president with Senior Market Sales Inc., which helps agents sell Medicare Advantage coverage.

However, sitting down to figure out coverage changes or whether there’s a better option can trigger headaches.

Customers need to make sure their new plan covers all their doctors and prescriptions and leaves them with manageable bills if a major health problem hits.

The whole process left Roy Cheeseman bewildered after his insurer, Group Health Cooperative, notified him earlier this fall that he won’t be enrolled in his plan for 2015. The 70-year-old

resident of Sedro-Woolley, Washington, sees a couple of doctors and takes nine prescriptions.

Cheeseman lives mainly off Social Security and needed to find something that covered all of that and fit into his budget.

“There’s more health care policies out there than you can shake a stick at,” he said. “They’re all yelling in your ear, but they’re not going to tell you until after you sign up that they’re not going to pay more than they have to.”

Almost 16 million people are covered by Medicare Advantage plans, nearly twice the total covered just seven years ago, according to Kaiser. The foundation’s researchers have found that people have, on average, 18 plans to choose from, but they generally prefer to stick with what they have and find it daunting to review all those options.

Insurers say those choices are changing more than in the past because years of funding cuts have forced them to trim the number of plans they offer or adjust their benefits.

Deductibles, premiums and other costs can vary with these plans, and many also come with extra benefits like dental and vision coverage or gym memberships that might be pared.

The government has paid insurers who run Medicare Advantage plans more per enrollee than the cost of care for people with traditional Medicare coverage. But that is being scaled back in part to help fund the health care overhaul, the massive federal law that aims to cover millions of uninsured people.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina informed about 50,000 customers earlier this fall that it decided to stop offering a couple of plans for 2015, and will provide alternatives. Spokesman Lew Borman said there have been significant changes to how Medicare reimburses insurers. As a result, his company has had to review the cost of its plans “to ensure the sustainability of our products over the long term.”

While Kaiser found that 378 plans are leaving the market for 2015, a total of 309 are either starting up in 2015 or expanding to new markets.

Overall, the Medicare Advantage program is “stronger than ever,” said Aaron Albright, a spokesman for the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

On a roll Kroger delivers results for its third fiscal quarter today.

The supermarket operator, which owns Ralphs, Fry’s and other chains, is expected to report that its earnings and revenue increased from a year ago. Kroger has fared better than its peers in adapting to intensifying competition. The company has developed both larger and smaller locations to compete in different segments of the market.

Husband gives daughter everything she wants ter of them being unable Dear Annie: I have been to call. I understand the married for 28 years to a Annie’s occasional unannounced hardworking man. We but not every time. have one teenage daughMailbox visit, How can I get them to ter. “Kara” is very smart, and my husband spoils her rotten. Kara has her own car, and my husband gives her money whenever she asks for it. We have some money saved in a college account for her, but she wants to attend an elite school that is more than we can afford.

We won’t qualify for financial aid.

I think Kara needs to take the money we have saved and figure the rest out, but my opinion doesn’t matter. My husband will now delay retirement in order to pay for her to go to the school of her dreams. I think this is wrong, and it’s causing much tension in our household.

What is your opinion?

-- Annoyed Mom Dear Annoyed: Your husband is willing to do whatever he can to give Kara what she wants. You don’t think an expensive school is worth it (probably isn’t), and you were looking forward to his retirement. We also suspect you harbor some resentment toward your husband, as well as Kara, for his indulgence of her.

This isn’t so much about “winning” the argument as it

is about accepting whatever decision is reached. We suggest you and your husband sit down with an unbiased third party and speak openly of your concerns.

If Kara doesn’t go to her expensive college, will she use it as an excuse to blame her parents if she isn’t successful?

Will your resentment boil over and create a permanent rift?

Would your husband be willing to have Kara take out student loans for a portion of the cost?

Hopefully, your discussion will allow for some kind of agreement so that each of you can let go of whatever resentment currently exists.

Dear Annie: I love my family and friends dearly, but some of them think it is perfectly OK to stop by unannounced. I ask only for a simple phone call to see whether it is a convenient time for them to pop in. They all have cellphones, so it’s not a mat-

stop? -- G. Dear G.: If you answered the door in your birthday suit, you might get them to call first, but don’t bet on it. Some people believe it is flattering that they feel so welcome, they pop in without notice.

And while you might appreciate the thought, it is also inconsiderate to show up and interrupt your day when you may have other things going on.

You can say, “I wish I’d known you were stopping by. I have to run out. Sorry.” And then leave. Or you can close the blinds and not answer the door, but we suspect if you were willing to do that, they would already know to phone first.

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!

Writer’s sad story has happy ending almost 14 years later Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: You mentioned in a recent column that few people write to follow up on what happened since their original letter was published.

You printed mine April 1,

2001.

I am “Hurting in Houston,” the son who, with his partner, was suddenly no longer welcome in his parents’ home after they moved to a retirement community, because they were afraid their neighbors would shun them if they discovered they had a gay son. You advised that I should live my own life and, maybe, someday they would come around -- and that is what I did.

After a number of years, I received a call from a sibling informing me that my father was ill with only a short time left, and I should fly to their city to see him.

I asked if I was wanted, and he said, “It doesn’t matter, just come!”

So I swallowed my pride, flew there and made my way to the hospice house.

Although my mother received

me well, Dad did not, and we never had a good moment before he died a few days later.

I told my mother I was staying for the funeral whether she liked it or not and had my partner fly in.

After the service there was a gathering at my mother’s house with all their friends. I introduced my partner to them and everyone was as kind as could be.

Many mentioned their own gay siblings or relatives.

When the event was over, my mother said, “Wow, this has all been pretty silly, hasn’t it?”

It was such a colossal understatement that I could not find words to respond.

Ten years have passed; my mother is now in hospice care with only a short time left. We have built a great relationship, and she loves my partner of more than 20 years very much.

We are glad to be able to be there for her.

Much has changed in the world over these years and the acceptance of gays has been remarkable, but for me, having these last years with my mother’s love will be a comfort I can hold onto for the rest of my life.

I have no great moral here, I just wanted to let you know what has happened. Thank you, Abby. -- NO LONGER “HURTING IN HOUSTON”

DEAR NO LONGER HURTING: And thank YOU for letting me and my readers know your story has a happy ending.

I couldn’t be more pleased to know you are doing well.

In case you didn’t see it, there was a follow-up column regarding your letter that was published May 24, 2001, in which a family in California offered to adopt you and your partner!

PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) was mentioned in that follow-up and is still an excellent resource for building bridges of understanding in families. Find it at pflag.org.

DEAR ABBY: I am the caregiver for my husband, who is in a wheelchair and has to be helped when using the bathroom.

When we are out in public and he needs a bathroom, should I use the handicapped stall in the men’s or take him into the women’s? Unisex restrooms -- one big room that can be locked -are wonderful. -- CAREGIVER IN VIRGINIA DEAR CAREGIVER: I agree, but not all buildings and businesses provide unisex restrooms. If none is available, then the rule of thumb is the disabled person should use the restroom of his/her gender -- in your case, the men’s room.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The self-help gurus suggest ways to improve yourself, while the spiritual gurus suggest that you stop judging yourself altogether. Miraculously, you’ll find a way to follow both suggestions at once.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re attractive whether or not you want to be. Sometimes love overwhelms you or makes you long for more freedom. But the more independence you exert the more they chase.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The people you love have a way of changing the way you live.

You can’t accommodate them and also do the same things you used to do in the way you used to do them. Anyway, you’re excited to try a new approach.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You realize you must stay positive, because it’s on you to keep the team going. Sometimes being positive means identifying potential trouble sources so you can steer clear. If you see a possible problem looming, speak

up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you are with people who are nothing like you, you sometimes feel that your interests aren’t important. Nothing could be further from the truth. Talk and connect with like minds to remind you of this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Knowing what’s good for you doesn’t make it any easier to do what’s good for you. Luckily, the afternoon brings a boost to your willpower in the form of reduced temptation and a tranquil environment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As others debate narcissism, you wonder whether it really matters whether that selfie-snapping conversation hog is really a narcissist or just self-centered.

Either way, you’ll have to figure out how to deal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your confidence may take a dip, but you really don’t have to believe in yourself to succeed. For every successful person who says “I knew I could,” there is

another successful person who said “I had no idea I could.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People want to be recognized and appreciated within their social groups. Currently, you’re finding out that the less this matters to you the more attention they tend to give you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As social animals, needing to belong to a group is coded in our DNA. Your current question is: Which group? Careful -- the answer will determine how you spend the months to come.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

It may be difficult to find your motivation in the morning. The trick is in a visual. Look for images that help you to see what life will be like once you do what you set out to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s not true that expressing your anger always makes it go away. In fact, too often, expressing anger becomes a pattern of behavior that’s neither cathartic nor useful. Focusing differently is the answer.

A WEEKLY SPIN AROUND COLLEGE FOOTBALL

DUCKS ON UPSET ALERT Surging Arizona seeks another win over Oregon to bolster Playoff résumé PAC-12: ARIZONA VS. OREGON

The conference championship game that could have the most impact on the College Football Playoff will be played Friday night in Santa Clara. Oregon, with a win, will be one of the top four teams in the nation. That is not up for debate. Arizona is currently on the outside looking in, but you can make a strong argument that the Wildcats are in the best position of the two-loss teams to make a big jump. A win would give Arizona an 11 –2 record highlighted by two victories — both away from home — over the mighty Ducks of Oregon. Plus, the Cats would be a conference champion, which — according to the selection committee — is supposed to carry some significance. Oregon has been on a tear since that early October loss to Arizona at Autzen Stadium, winning seven straight by an average of 24.2 points per game.

Much has been made of the improved health of the offensive line — and rightfully so — but the emergence of true freshman Royce Freeman as the No. 1 running back and the continued excellence of quarterback Marcus Mariota have been the primary reasons for success. The Ducks are in prime position to play for the national title for the second time in the past five seasons. Oregon by 10

SEC: ALABAMA VS. MISSOURI

Missouri did what it does best last weekend — find a way to win an SEC game that few people expected it to win. The Tigers, all alone in first place in the SEC East, were somehow an underdog at home to Arkansas, the last-place team in the West. Missouri rallied from a 14 –6 deficit entering the fourth quarMitch Light ter to win 21 –14 and secure a second-straight trip to Athlon Sports the SEC Championship Game. The Tigers will face Executive Editor Alabama, the No. 1 team in the nation. The Crimson @AthlonMitch Tide haven ’t been perfect this season — they lost at Ole Miss and had close calls at Arkansas and LSU — but Nick Saban ’s team is still very, very good and will be the favorite to win the national title. The key could be the play of the Alabama offensive line, which might be without starting left tackle Cam Robinson. Missouri is stout along the defensive front and leads the SEC with 38 sacks. This figures to be the only matchup that (potentially) favors Missouri. Alabama by 13

Redshirt freshman Anu Solomon and the Arizona Wildcats earned a spot in the Pac-12 title game by beating rival Arizona State last Friday.

not include the Louisville game in which they trailed 24 –7 at the end of the first quarter. This is still a very talented team, but the 2014 Seminoles aren ’t nearly as formidable on defense as the ’13 national champs, and the quarterback (Jameis Winston) has been far more mistake-prone as a sophomore. Georgia Tech is the Noles ’ unlikely opponent on Saturday night. The Yellow Jackets, who only made it to the ACC title game because Duke lost at home to North Carolina two weeks ago, capped off a 10-win regular season by beating rival Georgia in Athens. Paul Johnson ’s team has some issues on the defensive end — the Jackets are allowing 388.8 yards per game — but leads the league in total offense with an average of 469.1 yards per game. Georgia Tech has completed a league-low 91 passes but leads the league with 9.2 yards per attempt and has 17 touchdown passes and only four interceptions. Georgia Tech by 7

BIG TEN: WISCONSIN VS. OHIO STATE

This matchup took a very interesting turn when J.T. Barrett, Ohio State ’s starting quarterback, went down with a season-ending ankle injury in the Buckeyes ’ win over Michigan. Urban Meyer will now turn to sophomore Cardale Jones to run the show and keep OSU ’s national title hopes alive. Jones, a 6'5", 250-pound Cleveland native, has only attempted 17 passes this season. He will obviously have to play well, but the focus for Ohio State will be slowing down Melvin Gordon and Wisconsin ’s potent rushing attack. Statistically, the Buckeyes have been solid against the run (fifth in the Big Ten, 145.6 ypg), though they haven ’t been great in the final month of the season. They gave up 218 rushing yards to Minnesota and 281 to Indiana — two teams that aren ’t a big threat in the passing game — in consecutive weeks before bouncing back with a solid effort (121 yards on 38 carries) against Michigan.

ACC: FLORIDA STATE VS. GEORGIA TECH

MOUNTAIN WEST: FRESNO STATE AT BOISE STATE

Florida State continues to flirt with disaster but has managed to remain undefeated and in control of its destiny for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Four of the Seminoles ’ last six games have been decided by five points or less — and that does

PRIME TIME PLAYERS Jay Ajayi, perhaps the nation’s most underrated running back, rushed for 229 yards and five touchdowns as Boise State posted a surprisingly easy 50–19 win over Utah State.

Ajayi closed his junior season with seven straight 100-yard games. … It hasn’t always been the smoothest ride for Gary Nova, but Rutgers’ senior quarterback was at his best on Saturday, leading the Scarlet Knights to a 41–38 win at Maryland by throwing for 347 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions. … Louisville’s DeVante Parker caught six passes for 180 yards and three touchdowns in the Cardinals’ wild 44–40 victory over rival Kentucky. … Louisiana Tech clinched the Conference USA West title with a 76–31 win over Rice. Senior quarterback Cody Sokol, who began his career at Iowa,

Boise State, which beat Fresno by 10 earlier in the season, is playing exceptionally well down the stretch. This won ’t be close. Boise State by 21

led the way with 387 yards and four touchdown passes. … Christian Stewart, who began the season as BYU’s backup quarterback, threw for 433 yards and five touchdowns as the Cougars outlasted Cal 42–35 in Berkeley. … Georgia Tech’s Zach Laskey rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 30–24 overtime win at Georgia. Laskey gave Tech its first lead of the game with an 8-yard score late in the fourth quarter and then delivered the game-winner on a 2-yard run in overtime. … Freshman Wayne Gallman rushed for a career-best 191 yards (on a 7.1-yard average) to help Clemson snap a five-game losing streak against South Carolina with a 35–17 win at Memorial Stadium. … It was another spectacular effort from Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper. The junior caught 13 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns in the Crimson Tide’s 55–44 win over Auburn.

Cody Kessler, QB, USC Kessler capped off a brilliant season with a near-perfect performance against Notre Dame. The junior from Bakersfield, Calif., completed 32-of-40 passes for 372 yards with six touchdowns — including five in the first half — and no interceptions to lead the Trojans to a dominating 49–14 win. For the season, Kessler has completed 70.7 percent of his passes for 3,505 yards with 36 touchdowns — tied for second-most in the nation — and only four interceptions.

Solomon, Mariota, Kessler: Peter Brouillet

STOCK REPORT Georgia Tech edged rival Georgia 30–24 in overtime to record its first win over the Bulldogs since 2008.

The Yellow Jackets, picked to finish near the bottom of the ACC Coastal Division, went 10–2 in the regular season and will play Florida State in the ACC Championship Game on Saturday.

Vanderbilt completed a winless SEC season with a 24–17 loss at home to Tennessee. The Commodores were outgained by an average of 168.8 yards in their eight league games, and only one game — last weekend’s loss to Tennessee — was decided by fewer than 10 points.

Missouri might not be the most glamorous team in college football, but the Tigers continue to win games. Gary Pinkel’s team clinched a second straight SEC East title with a comeback win over Arkansas Saturday in Columbia. Missouri is 14–2 in the SEC in the last two seasons.

Notre Dame’s oncepromising season — the Fighting Irish were 6–0 at one point — ended with a 49–14 loss at USC. The Irish lost their final four games and finished the season with a 7–5 record. It’s the sixth time in the last eight seasons Notre Dame will have at least five losses.

2. Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin Gordon “only” rushed for 151 yards on 29 carries as the Badgers clinched the Big Ten West Division championship with a 34–24 win over Minnesota. Gordon leads the nation in rushing (2,260 yards) and rushing touchdowns (26).

3. Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama Cooper broke a string of three-straight games with less than 100 receiving yards with a monster performance in the Iron Bowl.

Playing what figures to be his final home game, Cooper caught 13 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns in the Crimson Tide’s 55–44 win over Auburn.

4. Trevone Boykin, QB, TCU Boykin and the Frogs kept their national title hopes alive with a 48–10 win at Texas on Thanksgiving night. Boykin threw for 233 yards and two touchdowns and added 50 yards rushing and one score on the ground to lead the TCU attack.

5. Cody Kessler, QB, USC Very few quarterbacks have been as productive as Kessler in 2014. Six times this season, the junior has thrown for at least 300 yards and four touchdowns in the same game, including a 372-yard, six-TD effort against Notre Dame on Saturday.

Across-board contributions fuel No. 14 Missouri

BY R.B. FALLSTROM Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Mo. — At the halfway point, Missouri ’s season was on the verge of ruin.

Losing to lightly regarded Indiana at home was one thing. Just one of those stinkers to be shrugged off.

Getting smoked 34-0 by Georgia two weeks later while the student body retreated back to the dorms was the true turning point.

The Tigers were 4-2 after the loss, seemingly on

the way to justifying preseason predictions that the defending SEC Eastern Division champions had nothing for an encore.

Emotions in the locker room emotions were raw.

“It was tough, it was rough, ” quarterback Maty Mauk said. “Personally, I ’d never shut out in my life and I know a lot of other people hadn ’t either.

How we bounced back, that ’s how you want it to be. ” Coach Gary Pinkel let players know he believed in them, but also put his

foot down hard. Committing ve turnovers had him really riled.

“I didn ’t ip out on them, ” Pinkel said. “I said, ‘Everybody ’s frustrated, disappointed. But we have a chance to do something about it. ” He added: “I think we can be really good still. ” There has been no real wow factor about Missouri this season. But there has been no looking back since that game, either. The key drive, the critical stop, the game-changing takeaways

— it ’s all been there just enough to keep the program rolling.

The Tigers nest quality, perhaps, is perseverance.

Missouri (10-2) is ranked 14th and totes a six-game winning streak into Saturday ’s conference title game against top-ranked Alabama (11-1) in Atlanta. Last week ’s comeback from an 11-point halftime decit to beat Arkansas and repeat as top dog in the East was the latest, hard-earned triumph typical of the second half

of the season. They ’re far from the high-scoring outt Missouri has become accustomed to, topping 40 points just once and leaning on a defense that could be Pinkel ’s best in 14 seasons. They began their current six-game winning streak with a 42-13 victory at Florida but the last ve have been decided by 10 or fewer points.

They led Vanderbilt by three points late in the fourth quarter before Bud Sasser ’s 25-yard touchdown catch, trailed Texas

A&M by a touchdown in the third quarter before charging ahead on two touchdown runs by Russell Hansbrough, and pulled ahead to stay after halftime at Tennessee.

Andrew Baggett missed two extra-point kicks against the Volunteers, making the 29-21 victory over the Volunteers interesting for the wrong reasons, then rallied with gusto against Arkansas with the rst two 50-plus yard eld goals of his career.

Ex-teammates meet for SEC title

BY JOHN ZENOR Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Four decades ago, Gary Pinkel and Nick Saban captured a conference championship with Kent State.

Now, the former teammates who once labored long hours together for paltry pay and invaluable experience as graduate assistants will face off with a bigger prize on the line.

Saban and No. 1 Alabama will meet Pinkel’s 14thranked Missouri Tigers Saturday in the Southeastern Conference championship game in the Georgia Dome.

The Crimson Tide will be cer-

tain of a playoff berth with a victory.

The longtime friends are still logging long hours but now for seven-figure salaries.

They’re also still putting to work the lessons learned under coaching mentor Don James, who coaxed a reluctant Saban into the profession.

“I never really wanted to be a coach,” said Saban, who has since won four national titles at LSU and Alabama.

“Coach James asked me to be a graduate assistant. My wife had another year of school, so I decided to do it, even though I didn’t want to go to graduate school.

“I really liked it. I have thanked coach James many, many times for inspiring me into the opportunity to do it.”

Pinkel and Saban were teammates on Kent State’s 1972 Mid-American Conference championship team coached by James. Pinkel became a grad assistant a year after Saban.

The head coaching careers didn’t cross paths in a game until Missouri joined the SEC in 2012. Alabama won that meeting 42-10.

Both Saban and Pinkel still cite lessons and practices adopted decades ago from James, a Hall of Famer who died in October 2013 at age

80.

“He was an organizational genius,” Pinkel said. “The detail of organizing every little tiny aspect of your football program, having a plan in place for everything, evaluate everything you do after you do it. I’ve been a head coach for 24 years now. We have an infrastructure in place.

“I would say that in itself is probably as important as anything I’ve learned from him.”

Similarly, Saban said he has modeled some aspects of his program from James, everything from recruiting to offseason conditioning workPlease see TITLE | 13

JACKSON — Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott was so good this season there was little doubt he’d be the winner of the Conerly Trophy, which is given to the state’s top college football player.

Sure enough, his name was called on Tuesday night.

It’s one of many awards the junior might win before his time in college is done.

But Prescott admitted the Conerly Trophy, which is sponsored by C Spire Wireless, holds some special meaning for him. The 6-foot2, 230-pound junior is from Haughton, Louisiana, but says he’s continually amazed at how fans have embraced him in the Magnolia State.

“I feel like I’m a Mississippian now, I guess, being here for four years,” Prescott said.

“Just the hospitality, the great people and me buying into Mississippi State University.”

Prescott is the 19th winner of the Conerly Trophy. It’s a list that includes current NFL players including Eli Manning, Patrick Willis, Austin Davis, Anthony Dixon and Gabe Jackson.

“Those are some great names,” Prescott said.

Prescott is also a finalist for national awards such as the Maxwell and Davey O’Brien.

The Maxwell is given to the nation’s top college player while the O’Brien goes to the top quarterback.

He’s thrown for 2,996 yards, 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season while also rushing for 939 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also led Mississippi State to 10 wins in the regular season (6-2 in the SEC) for the first time in school history.

The Bulldogs also spent five weeks as the No. 1 team in the nation, which was also a first for the program.

Dak Prescott took home the Conerly Trophy, which is given to the state’s top college football player.

“It’s just hard work and dedication — putting my mind to something,” Prescott said. “Giving it my all and never giving half effort.”

Prescott won the award over three other finalists, including Mississippi cornerback Senquez Golson, Delta

State quarterback Tyler Sullivan and Alcorn State quarterback John Gibbs Jr. Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said Prescott was deserving of the award.

“Obviously, he’s had a terrific season and he’s a great athlete,” Freeze said. “But

even more than that, he makes everyone around him better. You can tell his guys want to play with him.”

The Conerly Trophy is voted on by a panel of sports media members across the state.

Fan voting also accounts for 10 percent of the award.

Cowboys look to bounce back against Bears

BY ANDREW SELIGMAN Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — If the Dallas Cowboys can avoid another late-season letdown, they can reach a significant goal: the NFC East title.

The first step is getting past the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.

They are a game behind Philadelphia in the NFC East after getting blown out 33-10 by the Eagles on Thanksgiv-

ing and have another showdown with them next week that could be for the division lead.

But before Dallas (8-4) can worry about that, there’s this matchup with the struggling Bears (5-7) at Soldier Field.

“It’s hard to get to this point in the year and be 8-4 and right in the middle of the hunt,” tight end Jason Witten said. “I think you play long enough like I have you respect

the opportunity that you have and where you are positioned.

So I am excited about that.”

It’s not hard to see why he is excited considering the Cowboys last made the playoffs in 2009. But they have struggled in recent years once December arrived.

In 2011, they dropped four of their final five. A year later, they dropped their final two games after taking the first three in December. Last year,

they lost three of their last four.

All three seasons they wound up 8-8, and anything less than a playoff appearance would be a big letdown for a team that started 6-1.

Of course, this week’s opponent knows all about disappointment. A loss at Detroit last Thursday all but assured the Bears will miss the playPlease see COWBOYS | 13

Pac-12 foes Oregon, Arizona share similar offenses

BY ANNE M. PETERSON Associated Press

Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez helped devise the hurryup spread offense nearly 25 years ago. Then coach Chip Kelly made Oregon famous for it.

These days, current Ducks coach Mark Helfrich acknowledges the offensive similarities between Oregon and Arizona, calling them cousins.

“I don’t know what kind of cousin,” Helfrich joked about his analogy. “Route structure is a little different off it, how they use their quarterback.

But a run-based, spread offense, being able to throw the ball, mix those things up, but yeah, it’s very similar.”

The two similar schemes will meet — again — on Friday night when the No. 3 Ducks (11-1, 8-1) play the No. 8 Wildcats (10-2, 7-2) in the

Pac-12 championship.

Rodriguez, named this season’s Pac-12 Coach of the Year, also zeroed in on the familiarity factor.

“Philosophically, they look very, very similar, not only the tempo with which they’re able to go at, but how they want to attack the field from vertical and horizontal standpoints,” Rodriguez told reporters on a teleconference earlier this week.

“You’d think these two coaches are related.”

As head coach at Glenville State in West Virginia in 1990, Rodriguez wanted to run a spread formation but he had a quarterback who was on the smallish side — so he went to a run-based system out of the shotgun. To keep defenses even more off-balance, he decided to run the offense withPlease see PAC-12 | 13

outs.

Both James pupils have forged long, successful coaching careers applying those lessons.

Saban recommended Pinkel as his replacement when he left after one season at Toledo to become the Cleveland Browns’ defensive coordinator in 1991.

Pinkel held that job for 10 seasons and is in Year 14 at Missouri. Saban, meanwhile, is on his fifth head coaching stop, including a two-year stint with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.

The differences go beyond career trajectories.

Missouri was mostly overlooked coming into the last two seasons but won the SEC East both times. Alabama is routinely among the favorites to win the national title, leaving no possibility of being labeled as overachievers.

Another big difference lies in the star ratings

of their players as prospects. ‘Bama has had five straight No. 1 recruiting classes, according to Rivals.com. Missouri’s highest ranking was 31st in 2012.

Saban’s somewhat dismissive of such rankings.

“But I also think it does speak to the job that Gary and his staff have done in building their team and building their program, the very good job they’ve done of recruiting players as well as developing those players,” he said.

“Sometimes I don’t know what comes first in recruiting rankings, the cart or the horse.

When a guy gets recruited by what I’m going to call high profile programs, he gets ranked higher. That’s where I question the validity of how accurate some of those things may be.”

Pinkel’s players get a chance to prove they measure up on the field.

offs for the seventh time in eight years.

And the Bears may also be without kicker Robbie Gould this week.

He was listed as doubtful because of a right quadriceps injury and the Bears signed veteran Jay Feely on Wednesday.

Chicago is basically in the spoiler role now, hoping to hand the Cowboys their first road loss.

Dallas is a league-best 5-0 this season and has won six straight away from home since a 4528 pounding at Soldier Field on a bone-chilling night last December.

Dallas’ Tony Romo looks to rebound from a rough game.

Coming off back surgery last December and another back injury sustained on a sack in October, he appeared to be the Cowboys player most affected by the quick turnaround before last week’s game. He got sacked four times and intercepted twice while throwing for 199 yards, and his rating for the game was 53.7 compared to 106.2 for the season.

It also wasn’t a good game for the defense, which gave up a seasonhigh 464 yards against the Eagles.

Bears tight end Martellus Bennett acknowledged he and Witten were not exactly best

friends when they were teammates in Dallas.

Part of that stems from the fact that he was a young player looking for an opportunity to contribute that was not there with a veteran ahead of him.

“Every single year there’s a lion coming out of college,” Bennett said.

“You know what I’m saying? And every single year there’s an old guy in the NFL who’s a gazelle.

And every single morning the gazelle wakes up because the gazelle has to run, otherwise the lion catches it. So every single morning the lion wakes up he chases the gazelle. In that situation I was the lion. I didn’t catch the gazelle, though. I had to go to another jungle.”

Bennett had 85 receptions in four seasons with the Cowboys (2008-11). He made a big jump with the New York Giants in 2012, catching 55 passes, and he has emerged as one of the top players at his position in two seasons with the Bears. Bennett is tied with Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski for league lead among tight ends with 65 catches and has 737 yards receiving.

Not that he’s in much danger of losing the rushing title, but DeMarco Murray’s pace has slowed a little in recent weeks.

out ever huddling.

Rodriguez eventually brought his innovative offense to West Virginia, turning a team that won three games his first season into a national contender.

Fast forward to 2007, when Oregon coach Mike Bellotti hired Kelly as his offensive coordinator. Kelly put a hurryup, no-huddle spread option on hyperdrive that thrived with a mobile quarterback, Dennis Dixon. By 2008, the Ducks were averaging nearly 42 points and 485 yards of total offense per game.

In 2010, with Kelly as head coach, the Ducks led the nation with averages of 47 points and 531 total yards per game.

The revved-up offenses left opponents so gassed they were known to fake injuries to get a breather.

Helfrich, who was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach

under Kelly, took over as head coach in 2013 when Kelly went to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Led by mobile Heisman-hopeful quarterback Marcus Mariota, Oregon is ranked atop the conference this year for the eighth-straight season with an average of nearly 46 points per game.

The Ducks average 539.5 yards in total offense, also first in the league. Arizona is ranked fourth in the Pac-12 in both categories, with 36.7 points and 481.2 total yards per game.

Some have said that Rodriguez’s knowledge of the offense — he helped invent it, after all — is why the Wildcats have had success over the Ducks in their past two meetings.

Arizona visited Eugene in early October and came away with a 31-24 victory. It was the lowest point output for the high-flying Ducks this season.

K-State heads to Baylor trying for history

BY ADAM SUDERMAN Associated Press

MANHATTAN, Kan. — When B.J. Finney stepped to the line of scrimmage on Sept. 3, 2011, against Eastern Kentucky, Kansas State’s football program was still in disarray.

The Wildcats had been to three bowl games the previous eight seasons.

They won a Big 12 title in 2003 but hadn’t won more eight games or more since then. Their coach, Bill Snyder, had retired and come back, bookending the forgettable tenure of Ron Prince.

Fast-forward to the present and Finney, an All-Big 12 center, and 21 fellow seniors have helped to send the Wildcats to three straight bowl games.

They climbed to No. 1 in the BCS standings two years ago, winning the Big 12 title. And on Saturday night at Baylor, the ninth-

ranked Wildcats have a chance to win a share of another title with a victory.

The seniors would be the first at Kansas State to have won two conference titles. “Toughness, grit, determination and perseverance, which are a bunch of things that you’d want to see in a football team,” Finney said. “Especially with the seniors.

Coming in, our first year was our first bowl game since 2006, and we’ve taken it upon ourselves to reach a bowl game each and every year.” That part is already assured this season. Kansas State (9-2, 7-1 Big 12) will travel to Waco with both teams trying to win a share of the Big 12 title. And for the Bears, a victory just might propel them into the four-team playoff.

After losses to Auburn and TCU, the Wildcats are

all-but-eliminated from the playoff picture, but that doesn’t mean their season has been a disappointment. They beat Oklahoma, routed rival Kansas and are headed toward another significant bowl game.

“There were so many guys that we looked up to before us,” said defensive end Ryan Mueller, who like Finney will be playing his regular-season finale Saturday.

“Having that great leadership that we had to look up to, the Collin Kleins, Arthur Browns, Meshak Williams, when it was our time to step up as seniors it almost felt like it was easy. We already knew how to do it.”

“That just makes me look a lot better and it helps me out so much knowing that I have two guys that will always be in the right place at the right

time, not make those mistakes, and work as hard as they do,” said Jake Waters, a senior who transferred to Kansas State for his final two seasons from junior college.

“It definitely helps me and elevates my game too.” Snyder was quick to compliment the businesslike mentality of his team.

But he never once considered where this year’s team would finish, not before the season or in the midst of it. “Certainly our players do and that is certainly viable,” he said. “I don’t address it that way.

I am the same old, same old, one day at a time. I do not make those kinds of projections. Other than the fact that we are capable of anything, I do not place any limitations on our football team today and certainly did not however many months ago when we got started.”

Hoyer hangs on to starting job with Browns

BY TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

BEREA, Ohio — Brian Hoyer held off Johnny Manziel again. The Browns are still his team for the moment.

Cleveland’s struggling veteran quarterback kept his job and will start Sunday against Indianapolis after first-year coach Mike Pettine decided he would be a better choice to lead down the stretch than Manziel, the super-hyped

rookie who gave the team a spark last week in a loss at Buffalo.

Hoyer has played poorly for a month, but the Browns (7-5) will stick with him as they try to make the playoffs for the first time since 2002.

“It’s back to business as usual,” said Hoyer, adding the past 48 hours have been difficult. “They weren’t the easiest days of my life. I’ve been through a lot.

It’s just one more thing to handle some adversity and it only makes you stronger.”

Pettine described the decision as “close” and “difficult” because of Hoyer’s recent issues, but in the end the Browns coaching staff put more value on his experience and success this season. “It wasn’t perfect and he’s made his share of mistakes, but he’s gotten the lion’s share of reps in practice and virtu-

ally all of them in games and has us in the thick of a playoff hunt,” Pettine said.

“That, to me, was probably the biggest determining factor.”

Pettine said the decision was reached on Tuesday morning.

There was some “lively” discussion with his coaching staff, which finally agreed that staying with Hoyer gave the Browns the best chance to win against the Colts.
