Arson suspected in downtown Rienzi fire BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
RIENZI — Officials have wrapped up their formal investigation of the fire that destroyed an entire downtown block early Wednesday morning. The blaze started inside historic Smith Drug Store on Main Street after an apparent breakin. Dispatchers received a call from the business’s security company around 1 a.m. reporting a glass breakage. “We suspect arson, however it hasn’t been proven yet,” said Alcorn County Director
of Emergency Services Ricky Gibens. “Arson is one of the hardest crimes to solve.” Gibens is working with the state fire marshall and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on the investigation. “We did collect some evidence at the scene that could help us determine whether accelerants were used to start the fire,” he said. “Now we will begin doing followup interviews with possible eyewitnesses in the area.” Seven local fire departments responded to the blaze which
also destroyed Scott Nash Woodworks, one apartment and one other vacant building. “The town of Rienzi has been given the okay to begin the cleanup process,” added Gibens. Business owner Trevor Williams said he plans to open a temporary drug store as soon as possible while he rebuilds his family’s 100-year-old business. (To report a tip on this case, contact the Alcorn Sheriff at 662-286-5521 or the Alcorn Emergency Services at 662286-7737.)
There’s less than a week left until hundreds of hurting families will visit the Lighthouse Foundation to get Christmas gifts for their children. The big need has organizers of the annual Toy Store Christmas toy program reaching out to the community for support as the program’s big day nears. Foundation Executive Director Gary Caveness said more than 500 families, representing over 1,500 children,
have signed up for help from this year’s effort. Shopping day is set for Dec. 11 when these families will be given the opportunity to choose gifts for their children and hear the word of God from foundation volunteers. With less than a week to go they’ve raised approximately 40 percent of the funds needed to pay for this year’s program. More is needed to ensure these families get the help they need this Christmas. “We just need help in alPlease see TOYS | 2A
Council eyes strategies to boost development BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
After sizing up the competition, the Mississippi Economic Council is suggesting some new strategies in Mississippi’s playbook for economic development. As the Blueprint Mississippi initiative continues, the MEC recently compiled more than 1,000 pages of data about how competing states approach recruitment of employers. MEC
President and CEO Blake Wilson talked about some of the results Thursday in Corinth as part of the MEC Regional Round-Up. A “snappier” response to the labor needs of potential employers is one of the things the MEC found. “We’ve got a great community college system,” said Wilson, “but when it comes Please see MEC | 2A

A quartet of former majorettes are helping young girls take on leadership roles. Angela Dilworth and Leola King — co-directors of Bright Stars — have been working with girls at the Boys & Girls Club three days a week. Marnesha Green and Kijana Hurd are also involved in the program as instructors. “We started with 10 girls and now are up to 28,” said Dilworth. “The girls are learning and are now bringing in more of their friends.” Three days a week participants, ages 5-18, practice at the Boys & Girls Club. Instruction is given on how to use a baton each Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Members are fed at no cost each Saturday following practice. “We also help them with social skills along with homework and tutoring,” said King. “We just saw a need in those and other areas for girls.” Bright Stars has joined right in with the Smart Girl program of the club. “Most of these girls don’t want to play basketball,” said club unit director Christy Grice. “This is something just for them here at the Boys Club.” Thus far, members of Bright Stars have performed in several area parades and are slated to be part of the Corinth Christmas Parade on Saturday.

GUNTOWN — Guntown Middle School’s eighth-graders are trying to determine who “murdered” one of their teachers. They walk past the “dead body” as they change classes and look for clues throughout the school. Since early November, roughly 300 students have been engaged in a large crime scene investigation project. It is akin to the old Clue board game. They are tasked with solving a mock homicide. Crime scene tape cordons an outside area on the school’s campus where a dummy lying on the ground represents Josh Hanna, an eighth-grade science teacher and the fictitious victim. Also located there are several clues — items found near the body, shoe prints at the scene and a report on the weapon used, among others. Each day a new piece of information is posted somewhere in the school — on a bathroom mirror, in the hallway or in another eighth-grade classroom.

In Mississippi, it’s like, well, we’ve got to get everybody around the table and talk it out.

We’ve got to make MDA that focused agency on recruitment and retention.” Another need is centralized industrial site certification, as TVA, Entergy and Mississippi Power each have their own methods. Wilson said the goal is to get it centralized at MDA in order to provide site selection consultants with direct answers.

Across the Region Band Aids to sponsor potato bake at church
Today is Friday, Dec. 5, the 339th day of 2014. There are 26 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 5, 2013, Nelson Mandela, the antiapartheid leader who became South Africa’s first black president and was a global symbol of sacrifice and reconciliation, died at age 95.
On this date: In 1776, the first scholastic fraternity in America, Phi Beta Kappa, was organized at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. In 1782, the eighth president of the United States, Martin Van Buren, was born in Kinderhook, New York; he was the first chief executive to be born after American independence. In 1831, former President John Quincy Adams took his seat as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1848, President James K. Polk triggered the Gold Rush by confirming that gold had been discovered in California. In 1932, German physicist Albert Einstein was granted a visa, making it possible for him to travel to the United States. In 1933, national Prohibition came to an end as Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, repealing the 18th Amendment. In 1955, the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations merged into the AFL-CIO under first president George Meany. In 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union announced a bilateral space agreement on exchanging weather data from satellites, mapping Earth’s geomagnetic field and cooperating in the experimental relay of communications. In 1974, the final episode of “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” aired on BBC Television. In 1994, Republicans chose Newt Gingrich as the first GOP speaker of the House in four decades.

Unemployment rate falls in Prentiss County BOONEVILLE — Prentiss County matched the statewide trend for unemployment in October with a slight drop in the jobless rate. The county fell from 7.8 percent unemployment in September to 7.7 percent for October according to the latest figures released by the Mississippi De-
partment of Employment Security. October saw the overall number of people employed in the county fall from 9,460 to 9,440, but the total number of people in the county’s labor force also fell slightly from 10,260 in September to 10,230 in October.

ACES student enjoys trip to Egg Bowl The Mississippi Association of Educators (MAE) teamed up this season with Ole Miss and Mississippi State to sponsor the “2014 Be A champion and Read Your Way to the Egg Bowl” Contest. This year’s Champion Reader for the Ole Miss Rebels is Tatum Horne, a first grader at Alcorn Central Elementary in Glen. This year’s Champion Reader for the Mississippi State Bulldogs is Ryan Thomas, a fourth grader at Wheeler Attendance Center in Wheeler. MAE created the “Be A Champion and Read Your Way to the Egg Bowl” Contest to inspire students to read, promote literacy in our youth, and make reading fun! “We are proud to have taken a leadership role to increase the literacy in students throughout Mississippi,” stated Joyce Helmick, President of the Mississippi Association of Educators. We are thrilled at the way not only the
students have grabbed on to this fun and exciting contest, but also the way many educators and schools have added to the contest to increase participation of their students. Once a student learns to read, we know that he or she will then read to learn!” Over 15,00 students took the challenge and read nearly 100,000 books to be eligible to win tickets to see their favorite team play in the 2014 Egg Bowl, which was held in Oxford this past Saturday. All student participants had to read six reading-level books and choose the team for which he or she would be reading: Bulldogs or Rebels. All entires had to be post-marked no later than Oct. 31. On Nov. 7, MAE randomly picked a student for each team. Each winner received three tickets to the game, went on field to meet the coaches and watch the kick-off, and visited the field in pre-game activities.

Midterms killed Iran deal BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists
The first fruit of the Republican victory in the midterm election is the failure of President Obama’s efforts to give away everything to Iran in the nuclear negotiations. If Democrats had kept the majority on Nov. 4, we would all be wincing, as Obama would have triumphantly announced a “peace” deal with Iran that would have all but invited the terrorist regime to acquire nuclear weapons. It is only because of the certainty that a Republican Congress would pass legislation condemning and possibly blocking the deal that his efforts at appeasement fell short. Neither the U.S., nor Britain, France, Germany and the E.U. (the negotiating partners) wanted to sign a deal that the U.S. Congress would condemn as a giveaway. Behind this victory is the hand of Senator Bob Menendez, D-N.J. While we have condemned him in previous columns, it is time we recognize his singular accomplishments in fighting the Iranian nuclear project. Along with Senator Mark Kirk, R-Ill., he has achieved a broad bipartisan consensus that the Iranian nuclear program must be dismantled and destroyed. With Menendez’ backing, it may even be possible to override an Obama veto of sanctions legislation once the new Congress meets. Senators Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Cory Booker, D-N.J., Bill Nelson, D-Fla., Bob Casey, D-Pa., and, perhaps, the two California Democrats – Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein – will be under heavy constituent pressure to back a sanctions bill. Add in what remains of the conservative Senate Democrats like Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and you begin to approach 67 votes. The key point as the New Year dawns is that it is not enough to let the current situation freeze. The sanctions relief, granted in anticipation of a final deal one year ago, must be rolled back to punish Iran for failing to move ahead and for cheating on the sanctions that remain. Iranian oil sales have averaged 1.34 million barrels per day, about half of the presanctions level. Without progress in the negotiations, it is imperative that Iran be denied the almost $40 billion it stands to reap from even its current level of oil output and sales. Iran retains – and operates – all of its 10,000 nuclear centrifuges and refuses to dismantle any. The most it will offer is to operate them more slowly and to hold down enrichment to below-bomb levels. With a stockpile of 3-5 percent enriched uranium, to say nothing of 20 percent enrichment, a bomb is just a short time away whenever the Ayatollah flips the switch. Iran also refuses to stop construction of its heavy water reactor at Arak or even to convert it to a light water reactor, steps necessary to stop the development of a plutonium nuclear weapon. Nor has Iran agreed to a long-term deal or to adequate inspections to assure that any arrangement is, in fact, enforced. Iran would not be required to moderate its pursuit of ballistic missile capability nor to halt research and development on nuclear weaponry. As Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told his people last month: “The centrifuges are spinning and will never stop.” His foreign minister Javad Zarif echoed his confidence saying: “I’m confident that any final deal will have a serious and not a token Iranian enrichment program coupled with removal of sanctions.” Until the Republicans won the midterms, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev, could be counted upon to kill any Iran sanctions bill and to not allow it to come up for a potentially politically embarrassing vote. Were it to pass, it would put former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a tough spot. If she backed a Congressional sanctions bill, she would split with Obama and legitimize opposition to his diplomacy. But were she to back the president, defying many Democrats, she would assure that whether or not we can trust Iran would be a central issue in the elections. And we know how that would come out. (Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)
Prayer for today My Father, I thank thee for life. Make me sensitive to the unseen influences that bring thy messages. May I be led where great riches may be found through small kindnesses, and where I may learn from the meek the beauty of earth. Amen.
A verse to share “The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.” Proverbs 18:8
The Ferguson charade The White House response to Ferguson wouldn’t be complete without a meeting with Al Sharpton, the infamous agitator who has become President Barack Obama’s “go-to man on race,” in the words of a Politico headline from last August. So Sharpton was inevitably one of the civil-rights leaders at a White House meeting Monday. The president no doubt passed up the opportunity to direct Sharpton to the Treasury Department up the street, which would surely love to have him visit and make good on all the taxes he has avoided paying through the years. A New York Times report found that there are $4.5 million in state and federal tax liens against him and his businesses. If the rest of the country had Sharpton’s accountant, there would be no reason for anyone to call for tax cuts. Our complex and onerous tax code would be rendered irrelevant by simple nonpayment. Despite a disdain for the Internal Revenue Service that would make the average anarcho-libertarian blush (among other embarrassments and scandals), Sharpton has leveraged himself into respectabil-
ity with the Democratic establishment by m a k i n g himself central to any Rich n a t i o n a l Lowry racial controversy. By National rights, he Review should have given up any pretense to criminal forensics after his defamatory role in the Tawana Brawley hoax in the 1980s, but there he was at Ferguson, Mo., suggesting the worst despite what turned out to be strong evidence that Officer Darren Wilson acted lawfully. When the grand jury found there was insufficient evidence to indict Wilson, Sharpton pronounced that the Ferguson protesters had lost the battle, but not the war. What are they going to do to win, go out and find another cop to falsely accuse of a racial assassination and attempt to railroad into an indictment and conviction? The Ferguson story has progressed from the tragedy of the initial incident to the outrage of the violence of the protests to a new phase of charade. The federal government must pretend to do
something because it must ... do something. But what national initiative is going to stop police officers from defending themselves when they feel as if they are under mortal threat, as Officer Wilson says he did? The Justice Department investigation of Wilson on civil-rights grounds will almost certainly lead nowhere. The standard for such a prosecution is high, and if the evidence didn’t merit a routine criminal prosecution, there is no way it can reasonably support a civil-rights charge. President Obama is ordering the streamlining of the rules for providing surplus military equipment to police departments. Fine. But the militarization of the police had nothing to do with the original confrontation between Wilson and Michael Brown, and nothing to do with the ensuing violent protests in Ferguson, which rolled on regardless of the posture of the police. The president wants funding for more bodyworn cameras for local police, a worthy-enough experiment. But such a camera, assuming that what it captured was consistent with the most credible evi-
dence, would have served to vindicate Wilson’s version of events rather than the protestors’ narrative of an extralegal killing. The most needful reform in Ferguson and surrounding communities, per the excellent reporting of Radley Balko of The Washington Post, is the end of the obnoxious and parasitic practice of squeezing revenue out of residents with fines from traffic and other petty offenses. This creates an incentive for police to hassle motorists and is especially burdensome to poor residents. Since this issue is exceedingly local and dull, almost no one talks about it. The facts have stopped mattering in Ferguson, if they ever did. It is probably destined to live on in the roll call of locales, like Selma and Birmingham, that are bywords for civil-rights abuses. Never mind that this distorts what happened in Ferguson and belittles the memory of past civilrights battles. There are too many people too vested in the myth, with Al Sharpton leading the way. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)
The handiwork of agitators and manipulators As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I became more than familiar with situations where parents experience the premature loss of a child. There are few things that can compare to the emotional devastation that accompanies such an event. This makes the varied emotional responses of Michael Brown’s family more understandable as the tragic events unfolded in Ferguson, Mo. What is difficult to understand, though, is the benefit that the Ferguson community derives from burning and looting business establishments in their own neighborhoods, especially when unemployment is already a problem. In the meantime, the outside agitators in many cases are sitting in their hotel rooms sipping wine and watching the carnage on television. Hopefully, people in communities such as Ferguson, like people all over America, are beginning to awaken and realize that they should be more than pawns in the hands of manipulators who, in reality, could not care less about them. If the outside agitators

They would be outraged about the dozens of young men like Brown who die violent non-police-related deaths in cities throughout America every day. They would be emphasizing education, which is the great divide between the haves and the have-nots in America. A well-educated individual in America today can usually write their own ticket, regardless of ethnicity or financial status at birth. Perhaps it would be useful to highlight the fact that the average American lives to be about 80 years of age. The first 20 to 25 years are spent either preparing oneself through education or not preparing. If you prepare appropriately, you
have 55 to 60 years to reap the benefits. If you fail to prepare, you have 55 to 60 years to suffer the consequences. This is not to say that every component of our society should not be involved in trying to produce good outcomes for all of our young people. But we need to emphasize that the person who has the most to do with what happens to you in life is you. Is there racism and unfairness in our society? Of course there is, and it will persist as long as there are people with small, selfish minds. I believe it would be wise to encourage our people to focus on the numerous opportunities available to them rather than on the bigotry that exists. As a youngster, I grew up with a mother who said, “If you walk into an auditorium full of racist, bigoted people, you don’t have a problem; they have a problem. Because they will all cringe and wonder if you’re going to sit next to them; whereas you can sit anywhere you want.” In other words, don’t let your life be ruined by being sucked into the pathological state of

someone else. We have too many important problems to solve in America today to allow ourselves to be consumed by actual or perceived injustices perpetrated by others. We can solve many of those problems by keeping an open mind and considering things from the viewpoints of others. This can lead to constructive conversations about ways to heal the many rifts in our society. One would have to be blind not to be able to see that we have become more divided on issues of race, gender, age, economic status and religion. What happened in Ferguson is a manifestation of that division. It is not a declaration of what our society has become or a harbinger of our future. (Ben S.

House passes $585 billion defense bill WASHINGTON — The House has voted for a $585 billion defense bill that grants President Barack Obama the authority to expand the U.S. military mission against Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria. The vote on Thursday was 300-119. The measure now heads to the Senate where several Republicans have objected to the bill’s inclusion of unrelated provisions to expand wilderness areas. Still, Senate passage is expected in the final days of the lame-duck session. The sweeping bill authorizes core funding for military operations, including a 1 percent pay raise for the troops. It maintains the prohibition on transferring terror suspects from the federal prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United States.
Pentagon confirms failed rescue effort WASHINGTON — The Pentagon says a hostage rescue mission last month in Yemen failed to liberate American Luke Somers because he was not present at the targeted location. The Pentagon press secretary, Rear Adm. John Kirby, said in a brief written statement Thursday that the U.S. government was acknowledging the attempted rescue of the 33-year-old Somers, the only American among the roughly dozen hostages held by Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, a Yemen-based al-Qaida offshoot. Kirby said the Pentagon wanted to “provide accurate information” in light of the fact that the rescue attempt has been widely reported. Eight hostages were rescued, as has been reported previously. A Yemeni official said an American journalist and a Briton were moved before the raid. Kirby said details about the mission remain classified.

Officer charged for killing unarmed man ORANGEBURG, S.C. — A white police chief who fatally shot an unarmed black man in South Carolina in 2011 was charged with murder, and his lawyer accused prosecutors of taking advantage of national outrage toward police to get the indictment. Richard Combs, the former police chief and sole officer in the small town of Eutawville, was indicted Wednesday, the same day a grand jury in New York decided against charging an officer in a chokehold death, and less than two weeks after there was no indictment in the fatal police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri. Those cases also involved white officers and unarmed black men and the decision not to charge the officers set off protests around the country. The indictment in the South Carolina case was released Thursday. The former police chief’s lawyer questioned why prosecutors waited almost four years to ask for the murder charge. Combs
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — A Michigan man says his family’s 5,000-pound footbridge has been stolen from his property in suburban Detroit. WXYZ-TV reports that Robert Cortis filed a police report Wednesday saying the 40-foot bridge is made of steel and wood, and that it was stolen from his property in Farmington Hills. Cortis says he discovered the bridge was missing when he stopped by his property near 8 Mile Road with plans to move the bridge this week. He planned to set it up at his catering business as a place to take wedding photos. Cortis says the bridge has sentimental value because his father built it decades ago. He says whoever has it can return it with no questions asked.
Mother continues tradition of thanks GATLINBURG, Tenn. — In an annual tradition of thanks, the mother of a boy rescued in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has presented park headquarters with a poinsettia for the past 40 years. According to the park, Eric Johnson was 15 years old when he and a companion became trapped in chest-deep snow on Dec. 3, 1974. Park rangers rescued the pair and to show her gratitude, Wanneta Johnson began taking them flowers each year on the anniversary of the rescue. On Wednesday, Johnson again made the trip from Johnson City, Tennessee, bearing a poinsettia, to thank the rangers for saving her son. She was accompanied by her son this year, and they met with Acting Superintendent Clayton Jordan.

had previously been indicted with misconduct in office. “He’s trying to make it racial,” Combs’ attorney John O’Leary said of Solicitor David Pascoe. “He’s got all the national issues going on.” Pascoe said he told Combs’ lawyers a year ago that he would pursue a murder charge if a judge rejected Combs’ claim of self-defense. A judge ruled against the defense’s “stand your ground” motion earlier this week.
force far too often and have endangered the public and their fellow officers with their recklessness. Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and the department signed an agreement that says both sides will work toward the appointment of a court-appointed monitor to oversee reform. “We understand the progress we seek will not come over night,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in announcing the findings. The Justice Department found a systemic pattern of reckless and inappropriate use of force by officers and cited concerns about search-and-seizure practices. It also said officers frequently violated people’s civil rights because of faulty tactics, inadequate training and a lack of supervision and accountability. Officers’ excessive use of force has created deep mistrust in Cleveland, especially in the black community, the report concluded. “We saw too many incidents in which officers accidentally shot someone either because they fired their guns accidentally or because they shot the wrong person,” the report said.

Attorney: Let gay marriage start soon JACKSON — An attorney is again asking a federal appeals court to let same-sex marriages start next week in Mississippi. Roberta Kaplan represents a gay-rights group and two lesbian couples challenging Mississippi’s legal definition of marriage as only between a man and a woman. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves ruled for the plaintiffs Nov. 25, overturning the gaymarriage ban but putting his decision on hold for two weeks. In a new court filing, Kaplan asks the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to let same-sex marriages start next week and continue while the state appeals Reeves’ ruling.
2 sentenced in post office carts theft GULFPORT — A Gulfport father and son have been sentenced for stealing aluminum carts from the U.S. Postal Service and selling them as scrap. Federal prosecutors say 51-year-old John Wendell Boyles was sentenced Monday to 57 months imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release. They say 24-year-old Nicholas Alan Boyles was sentenced to 40 months imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release. They were ordered to pay restitution of $2.7 million. They each pleaded guilty in September to
conspiracy to steal government property.
University head joins White House summit JACKSON — The president of Belhaven University is participating in a White House summit exploring how to increase college completion, particularly for firstgeneration, low-income and underrepresented students. Roger Parrott was to join President Barack Obama and others Thursday at the White House College Opportunity Summit. The conference brings together colleges and universities, business leaders, nonprofit groups and others working to support more opportunities for students. The Jackson, Mississippi, school also was to be recognized for its efforts to increase the number of college graduates in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Parrott says Belhaven
is redesigning its general core science curriculum for non-science majors with a goal of encouraging more students to pursue STEM degrees.
Lott urges GOP to co-opt young people WASHINGTON — Former Senate Republican leader Trent Lott is urging today’s GOP leaders to co-opt staunchly conservative freshmen if possible and to marginalize the rest in order to ease congressional gridlock. Lott tells reporters that Republican House and Senate leaders should immediately embrace new members before they can drift toward the right flank dominated by tea party people. He also says leaders must be forceful in keeping conservative hard-liners from triggering another government shutdown. Lott, who is from Mississippi and was GOP leader a decade ago, calls the 2013 shutdown foolish and disingenuous.

Obama rebuked on immigration BY ERICA WERNER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Emboldened House Republicans issued a stern rebuke to President Barack Obama over immigration Thursday, passing a bill declaring his executive actions to curb deportations “null and void and without legal effect.” Outraged Democrats, immigrant advocates and the White House said the GOP was voting to tear families apart and eject parents. “Rather than deport students and separate families and make it harder for law enforcement to do its job, I just want the Congress to work with us to pass a commonsense law to fix that broken immigration system,” Obama said ahead of the vote. Even supporters acknowledged that the bill by Rep. Ted Yoho, RFla., which says Obama was acting “without any constitutional or statutory basis,” was mostly meant to send a message. It stands no chance in the Senate, which remains under Democratic control until January, and faces the veto threat from Obama. The real fight may lie ahead as conservatives
push to use must-pass spending legislation to block Obama. For now, Republicans insisted they must go on record denouncing what they described on the House floor as an outrageous power grab by Obama. “The president thinks he can just sit in the Oval Office and make up his own laws. That’s not the way our system of government works,” said Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La. “This legislation says you can’t do that, Mr. President. There is a rule of law.” The vote was 219 to 197, with three Democratic “yes” votes and seven Republican “no” votes. Three Republicans voted “present.” Obama’s executive actions last month will extend deportation relief and work permits to some 4 million immigrants here illegally, mostly those who have been in the country more than five years and have children who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. He also reordered law enforcement priorities and expanded an existing deportation deferral program for immigrants brought illegally as kids. Compounding the
GOP’s anger, Obama’s executive action came barely two weeks after Republicans trounced Democrats in the midterm elections, winning control of the Senate and increasing their majorities in the House. Democratic lawmakers rallied behind the president Thursday, and immigrant advocates warned Republicans would be alienating Latinos heading into 2016 presidential elections in which the Hispanic vote is expected to be significant. “They should remember that this is not a fight between Republicans and the president,” said Clarissa Martinez de Castro, of the National Council of La Raza. “They will be picking a fight with the millions of American families who will finally find some relief.” Even as emotions ran high in debate on the bill, many involved acknowledged it was mostly a sideshow as Republicans struggled to find some way to undo what Obama has done — not just register their disapproval. Party leaders acknowledged their options were limited given Obama’s veto pen, and no clear solution beckoned.
Flu vaccine may be less effective BY MIKE STOBBE Associated Press
NEW YORK — The flu vaccine may not be very effective this winter, according to U.S. health officials who worry this may lead to more serious illnesses and deaths. Flu season has begun to ramp up, and officials say the vaccine does not protect well against the dominant strain seen most commonly so far this year. That strain tends to cause more deaths and hospitalizations, especially in the elderly. “Though we cannot predict what will happen the rest of this flu season, it’s possible we may have a season that’s more severe than most,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, at a news conference Thursday. CDC officials think the vaccine should provide some protection and still are urging people to get vaccinated. But it probably won’t be as good as if the vaccine strain was a match. Flu vaccine effectiveness tends to vary from year to year. Last winter, flu vaccine was 50 to 55 percent effective overall, which experts consider relatively good. The CDC issued an advisory to doctors about the situation Wednesday evening. CDC officials said doctors should be on the look-out for patients who may be at higher risk for flu complications, including children younger than 2, adults 65 and older, and people
WE SEE EYES DR. ROBERT SHAPPLEY 804 Childs Street • Corinth (Behind Corinth Dry Cleaners)
with asthma, heart disease, weakened immune systems or certain other chronic conditions. Such patients should be seen promptly, and perhaps treated immediately with antiviral medications, the CDC advised. If a patient is very sick or at high risk, a doctor shouldn’t wait for a positive flu test result to prescribe the drugs — especially this year, CDC officials said. The medicines are most effective if taken within two days of the onset of symptoms. They won’t immediately cure the illness, but can lessen its severity and shorten suffering by about a day, Frieden said. He was echoed by Dr. Richard Zimmerman, a University of Pittsburgh flu vaccine researcher. Some doctors may hesitate, reasoning that flu season usually doesn’t hit hard until around February.

The Yoho bill was part of a two-part strategy by House GOP leadership to appease conservative immigration hardliners without risking a government shutdown. Their hope was that after approving it, Republicans would move on next week to vote on legislation to keep most of the government running for a year, with a shorter timeframe for the Homeland Security Department, which oversees immigration. The idea is to revisit Homeland Security early next year when Republicans will control both houses at the Capitol and have more leverage. The current governmentfunding measure expires Dec. 11 so a new one must pass by then. But that approach doesn’t go far enough for some immigration hardliners, goaded on by outside conservative groups and tea party senators including Ted Cruz of Texas. They say the only real way to stop Obama is to include language in the upcoming spending bill to block any money for his actions on immigration. “I didn’t come back here to just play games ...,” said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz.

Civil rights leaders decry decision in chokehold case BY TOM HAYS AND COLLEEN LONG Associated Press
NEW YORK — Civil rights leaders Thursday decried the grand jury decision not to charge a white police officer in the chokehold death of a black man and announced plans for a march and a summit on racial justice in Washington later this month. National Urban League President Marc Morial said the lack of an indictment in the death of Eric Garner was “a travesty of justice.” He said he and other civil rights leaders are calling for 2015 to be “a year for justice and jobs.” The decision Wednesday not to bring charges against Officer Daniel Pantaleo triggered protests around the country and sent thousands into New York’s streets, where they marched, chanted and blocked traffic. Police said 83 people were arrested, mostly on disorderly conduct charges. Pataleo’s lawyer and police union officials argued that the grand jury got it right, saying that the officer used an authorized takedown move — not a banned chokehold — against a man who was resisting arrest. And they said Garner’s poor health
was the main cause of his death. To find Pantaleo criminally negligent, the grand jury would have had to determine he knew there was a “substantial risk” that Garner would die. Acting at the Staten Island district attorney’s request, a judge released limited details Thursday on the grand jury proceedings, including that four videos were shown and 50 witnesses — 22 of them civilians — were heard. The transcript of the proceedings and the 60 exhibits admitted into evidence were not made public, and the district attorney did not ask that they be released. About 20 civil rights leaders met behind closed doors Thursday at the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network headquarters. Sharpton said a civil rights summit will be held following a Dec. 13 march in Washington. He said the topics will include education and boycotts. The Garner case — combined with the decision by a grand jury last week not to charge the white officer who shot and killed unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri — stirred a national conversation
about race, police training and the grand jury process. On Thursday morning, yet another case was added to the mix: A white former police chief in Eutawville, South Carolina, was indicted on murder charges in the 2011 shooting death of an unarmed black man after an argument at a town hall meeting. Garner, 43, died after a scuffle that broke out July 17 as officers tried to arrest him for selling untaxed cigarettes on the street. The last moments of his life were caught on video that showed Pantaleo holding the unarmed Garner in a chokehold as he repeatedly gasped, “I can’t breathe.” The medical examiner ruled that the chokehold contributed to the death. District Attorney Daniel Donovan said the grand jury found “no reasonable cause” to bring charges. But he gave no further explanation of how the panel arrived at its decision. Rep. Peter King, RN.Y., defended the grand jury decision, saying the outcome would have been the same if Garner had been white. He said Garner’s death was largely the result of his health problems, which included obesity, diabetes and heart trouble.

Common Core Standards are good, despite legislator’s claims This week Mississippi’s Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves jumped into the educational foray. Reeves proposes that the state of Mississippi scrap the implementation of Common Core and write new Stacy standards the Jones for K-12 public The education Dowtowner system in the state. At a luncheon Monday sponsored by Mississippi State University’s Stennis Institute of Government and the Capitol press corps, Reeves stated, “Mississippi children deserve standards developed by teachers and parents.” He also claims that because Oklahoma received a waiver to pull out of Common Core that it must certainly be an initiative that has been “hijacked by the Obama
administration.” Apparently, Reeves has not been schooled. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Initiative is a state-led effort between the nation’s governors and education commissioners, along with input from teachers, parents, school administrators, and educational researchers. Common Core establishes a single set of educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade to be voluntarily adopted by states. The CCSS, which are evidence- and researchbased, provide educators, parents and students with clear, focused guideposts, setting consistent expectations for students across the nation, regardless of the state in which they live. The goal of Common Core is to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college and work. I will say—as an English instructor at both
secondary and postsecondary levels in Tennessee—that Common Core standards—at least in English—mirror more of what I do in my collegelevel classroom, and I like that rigor. Further, I have worked for the past two years as a Core Coach, a trainer prepared at the state level to re-deliver Common Core content to other educators across the state of Tennessee in the most comprehensive attempt to use peer trainers to teach other teachers that has ever been undertaken by any state. As for the standards, I can speak only of 9-10th grade and 11-12th English Language Arts (ELA) because that’s what I teach and the content I have been trained by the Tennessee Department of Education to re-deliver to other educators. CCSS are more rigorous and more student-centered than current standards, which are more teacher-centered.
In the shift, the teacher is more of a facilitator than a repository of knowledge to be delivered—although a teacher teaching under CCSS has to be extremely versed in content knowledge to effectively apply the standards. The standards are simply that: standards that indicate what a student should know and be able to do. Standards do NOT dictate curriculum or texts, which are selected by classroom educators and by districts. The ELA Common Core standards focus on preparing students to be more effective readers and writers than current state standards—at least in Tennessee. There are three key shifts to ELA Common Core: 1) to immerse students in gradelevel complex texts, 2) to have students ground responses to questioning in text-based evidence, and 3) to build knowledge through having students read context-rich
Mental clutter weighs us all down During a prolonged driving rainstorm, there is a real danger of flooding as water clearly builds up faster than it can drain. On the other hand, a light drizzle seems Bryan harmless. owevGolden H er, given Dare to Live e n o u g h Without Limits time, the s a m e amount of rain will fall as during a downpour. If there is no place for it to drain, even a light rain will flood. Every day there are issues requiring your attention. Although some problems may be significant, most are either minor annoyances or relatively insignificant. The examples are endless. You can’t find something, you’re upset by an offhanded comment, you’re worrying about something from the past, you are worrying about the future, you forgot something, or someone didn’t return your phone call. There’s no doubt you can come up with your own extensive list. Just like with a light rain with no drainage, your mind eventually becomes flooded with insignificant stuff. Since the buildup is gradual, there’s no sense of alarm. Yet, issue after issue, the mental
With each new addition to your clutter collection, your baseline of normal is raised to accommodate the expanding buildup. clutter grows deeper. With each new addition to your clutter collection, your baseline of normal is raised to accommodate the expanding buildup. As this cycle repeats itself, the load you carry gets heavier. The result is reduced levels of patience, diminished coping ability, higher stress levels, and more frustration. As your mind gets cluttered with the mundane, your capacity to deal effectively with major issues becomes substantially diminished. This affects your judgment as well as how you interact with others. When you feel overwhelmed, you make poorer decisions and become a more difficult person to deal with. Worry clutters your mind faster than most other things. Worry is like being in a rocking chair; it’s a lot of activity that doesn’t get you anywhere. You worry about the past, lamenting what you should have, would have, or could have done. The past teaches two important lessons: what didn’t work along with what successful behavior should be repeated. Learn from your past, then move forward.
Merry Christmas
You also waste time worrying about the future. Instead, use your energy preparing for the future by taking appropriate action today. Do something about situations you have influence over while letting go of any circumstances you have no control over. The best approach for dealing with mental clutter is not allowing it to build up in the first place. When faced with an issue, here are some questions to ask. Is it really important? Does it matter in the long run? Are there more important things to focus on? Is any action required on your part? Can you just let it go? Keeping things in perspective enables you to release mental clutter. Focusing on all you have to be thankful for keeps your attitude positive. Maintain an attitude of gratitude. Start each day by going through a men-
tal checklist of all the blessings in your life. A well engrained attitude of gratitude causes you to realize that most problems are not worth all the energy spent on them. There is no need for you to allow people or situations to clutter your mind. Clutter attracts clutter. As your mind fills, it’s easier to get caught up accumulating even more. You have to stop the buildup process before it is possible to start freeing yourself. Change your outlook. Don’t get stressed out by new potential clutter. Rather, consider each annoying situation as an opportunity to practice letting it go. A shift in your approach will make a world of difference. You already know that hanging onto clutter doesn’t work. So learn from experience as you move forward. Bryan Golden is a management consultant, motivational speaker, author, and adjunct professor.

informational texts. The modes of writing in ELA are three-fold: argumentative, informational/expository, and narrative. The only problem I have had with Common Core in Tennessee was not the standards but the end-ofcourse assessment. I’m not sure students would be ready for the rigor of PARCC assessment (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) after merely one year (a semester for those of us on 90-minute block scheduling like the high school where I teach) under CCSS instruction—and both teachers and students would be held accountable. I sense that many who criticize CCSS are not familiar with the actual standards. Of course, I do not feel competent to critique the CCSS math standards because I am not a math educator. In other words, the standards—at least the English standards at the
high school level—are good, and much of this brouhaha about Common Core smacks of little more than political wrangling. I’d like to see legislators and the public get as passionate and outraged over the overwhelming amount of state testing that is currently required to ensure that a student is “proficient,” how a single multiple choice test figures so prominently in evaluating teachers, and how much instructional time must be devoted to preparation for a test that may—or may not—adequately measure a student’s competency in a particular subject. However, that is one focus I have yet to witness.

Wisconsin boys dial 911 in search of Santa Associated Press
MAYVILLE, Wis. — Two young brothers from southeastern Wisconsin are likely hoping they haven’t landed on Santa’s naughty list after police showed up at their doorstep. The boys, ages 3 and 6, thought the best way to get in touch with the North Pole was by phone. And for youngsters of that age, their Christmas
lists could be considered an emergency. So, the brothers used their Dad’s cellphone to place a 911 call, hoping to be connected with the North Pole and the big guy himself. The Beaver Dam Daily Citizen says that brought police to their Mayville home where officers gave the boys some advice. If you want to talk to Santa, do it in person.

How are we doing? Fewer than 20 trading days are left in 2014, and the market keeps reaching new heights. The Dow Jones industrial average is on the verge of reaching 18,000 for the first time, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index set a record high earlier this week. Give credit to the strengthening economy. The unemployment rate is at its lowest level since 2008, and even more good news is likely on the way from today’s jobs report. Economists expect it to say the unemployment rate dropped
Right direction
to 5.7 percent last month from 5.8 percent. Perhaps even more importantly, it may also show that the number of long-term unemployed people is dropping. In October, 2.9 million people had been jobless for 27 weeks or more, down from 4 million a year earlier. The drop in long-term unemployment will eventually put pressure on companies to raise wages, economists say. That would give shoppers more money to spend, though it could also crimp corporate profit margins.
Investors are hoping the stock market and unemployment trends continue into 2015. 10%

MARKET SUMMARY G
N
D
Spotlight on trade The U.S. trade deficit has been tempered this year by the boom in U.S. energy production. That has reduced dependence on foreign oil and increased U.S. petroleum exports. The trade gap rose in September for the first time in four months as exports slumped. Economists predict that the Commerce Department will report today that the trade deficit shrank in October from the previous month.

Friend worried about depressed friend WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: I am a middle school student, and one of my friends is depressed. She and her family are atheists, and they have been repeatedly harassed about it to the point that her worst fear is dying and going to hell. I’m really scared for my friend. When we found out she was thinking about suicide the first time, we got her to go to the school counselor, who, instead of telling her that she was depressed and needed psychological help, told her she had made mistakes and needed to be more careful. This only decreased her already low self-esteem. Now she thinks she’s a coward. My friend is also painfully lonely and convinced that everyone hates her. I do not trust the school to help, and neither does she. Everyone says she’s just being dramatic. I have no idea what I am supposed to do. -- Powerless Dear Powerless: First understand that harassing someone for her religious beliefs (or lack thereof) is bullying and should be reported to the school authorities. It is very difficult when a student doesn’t conform to the dominant attitudes of the school, and it takes a great deal of courage to stand your ground.
Annie’s Mailbox She is fortunate to have you on her side. Is there a sympathetic teacher or coach she can talk to? If the bullying continues, her parents should speak to the school board and even the local police. We assume her parents are aware of the bullying. If not, please tell them immediately. Your friend’s well-being is at stake. Dear Annie: Our extended family is relatively small, and we all live nearby. We gather for annual holiday dinners. Four of the seven women have a very close relationship, with frequent telephone calls, personal contacts and shared vacations. When the family gathers for the holiday dinners, these four women separate themselves from the remaining family and have a raucous time together with their private jokes, etc. They go to another room and make no attempt to include others in their “clique,” so the other three women and the remaining family are left out of this merriment.
The men don’t seem to mind. However, we, the three excluded women, feel this behavior is rude. It makes us feel isolated and offended. After one such holiday, a comment was made to a clique member that they should attempt to socialize outside their group, but their behavior hasn’t changed. One of the offended females is questioning why she and her spouse should even attend these gatherings. Do you have any suggestions as to how to handle this situation? -- On the Outside Looking In Dear Outside: Are the parents around? Mom or Dad should make it clear that this rude, exclusive behavior is inappropriate for family gatherings and will not be tolerated. If there is no authority figure whom these women will listen to, your best option is to ignore them. It would be a shame for these family gatherings to disintegrate because a few people are terminal adolescents. Don’t treat them as if they are the cool kids in high school. Talk to the other family members. Have the interesting and amusing conversations they will be jealous to have missed.

Mom questions renting a room to her ex-husband D E A R ABBY: My husband and I divorced because of another woman. I took it hard, Abigail but after a or so, I Van Buren year was OK. Fast forDear Abby ward to 2013: He shows up on my doorstep, needing food and shelter, so I took him in (he’s still the father of my children). Now I can’t get rid of him! He’s trying to show me he’s changed. If I didn’t know him, I’d think he wasn’t the same man at all. I need to know if this is an OK situation for me to be in, because well-meaning friends and family tell me he won’t change; he’ll leave again. (I say, “As long as he abides by the terms of the divorce, so what!”) I don’t care if he sees other people; he’s my EX. As far as I’m concerned, he’s just renting a room in my house. But I need to know -- am I hurting the kids by letting him stay? He seems to get along better with them now than he ever did, and I’d be renting that room to someone else if it wasn’t him. As far as I’m concerned, better
the devil you know than the one you don’t. Am I doing the right thing? And if so, how do I get wellmeaning people to stop lecturing me? -- LANDLADY IN CALIFORNIA DEAR LANDLADY: I can’t see how your ex living in the house would hurt the children -unless he suddenly disappears from their lives again. His presence there, even as “only a renter,” may lessen your chances of finding a serious romance again, because few if any men welcome courting a woman under these circumstances. However, if you are happy with things just as they are, then when the unwelcome lectures start, all you have to do is tell the well-meaning lecturers that you know what you’re doing and to please pipe down. The arrangement you have with your ex may work better for both of you than the marriage did because it appears he is always on his best behavior. DEAR ABBY: I’m pregnant with my first baby. I use Facebook to update my family in another country about my pregnancy and the little milestones that have happened. But when I do, my cousin “Rita” takes it upon herself to turn every status I post into something
about her and her daughter. I feel like she’s trying to one-up me or divert attention away from my child. We come from a big, tight-knit family and until now, her daughter was the baby of the family. Rita has been doing this for months now, and I’m starting to get annoyed. How can I tell her politely to please stop stealing my thunder and turning everything into something about her? -- ANNOYED IN THE WEST DEAR ANNOYED: Whether she’s doing it consciously or not, it does appear that Cousin Rita is competitive with you. It would be interesting to know if she has always been this way. You can’t stop her from competing, but you can develop a sense of humor where she’s concerned. Her bids for attention are really rather sad, and once your baby arrives, he or she will be the baby of the family -- until Rita becomes pregnant again, that is. (I’m tempted to start the countdown now.) Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). It hurts when so-called “supporters” disappoint you instead. However, this pain may also lead you to understand the difference between true love, which is inside you and can never leave, and codependency. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you’re not entirely comfortable in your skin right now, don’t be too quick to force things in another direction. Maybe it’s not about changing yourself so much as creating a hospitable space for change to happen. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just when you’re about to go solo, a small group begins to form around you. Your enthusiasm will attract offbeat people who are up for the kind of quirky adventures you’ve been known to dream up. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This morning, be early and be ready. You’ll be the quiet leader who sets the tone for the rest. Tonight is an ideal night for making a romantic connection
-- a low-key group setting is the ideal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being happy will trump trying to make others happy, because a) your happy energy is contagious, and b) you can’t make them happy. Let this guide your decisions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Instead of looking to relationships to make you happy, look to them to make you conscious of what has been weighing heavily inside you at an unconscious level. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some of your relationships seem defined by stereotypical role-play. This would work if it weren’t for the fact that you no longer believe in certain stereotypical roles. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a phenomenon that will happen. It will happen while reading articles, tasting food, witnessing interactions, living daily life. Something inside you simply says, “Blech.” That’s when you know to turn and walk.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While doing things you love, you will find people to love, and by finding people to love, you start doing things you love. Sometimes the people come first, sometimes the activities. So be open to both. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You sense something is not meant for you, and yet you still may have a tough time letting go of it. That’s because you haven’t seen the way-better gift coming your way. You will see it soon, but you have to let go first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Finding out what the heart wants isn’t always so easy, because the heart doesn’t speak your native verbal language. In order to understand it, close your eyes and feel. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You must admit that jealousy, as unpleasant as it may be, has an invigorating energy to it. Jealousy can be a positive emotion, too, if you let it help you claim your unclaimed desire.

NASA scrubs Orion launch; will try again today BY MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Wind gusts and sluggish fuel valves conspired to keep NASA’s new Orion spacecraft on the launch pad Thursday, delaying a crucial test flight meant to revitalize human exploration. NASA aimed for another shot this morning as tens of thousands of disappointed and weary launch guests hustled out. The weather report was iffy — forecasters expected higher winds, clouds and rain — but managers were optimistic the wind direction would shift in their favor. United Launch Alliance’s Dan Collins, who’s in charge of the unmanned Delta IV rocket, said he was confident the valve trouble, seen before on a previous mission,
could be quickly overcome. “The team was absolutely on their game, listening to everything the rocket was telling us, and it ultimately told us it wasn’t ready to go today,� Collins told reporters. “And so we’ll go make sure we’ve got a happy rocket ... and send Orion off to a very, very successful test flight.� Orion is how NASA hopes to send astronauts on round trips to Mars in the decades ahead. This inaugural flight, while just 4 1/2 hours, will send the unmanned capsule 3,600 miles into space. It’s the first attempt to send a spacecraft capable of carrying humans beyond a couple hundred miles of Earth since the Apollo moon program. NASA’s new countdown clock — making its
debut alongside Orion — got a workout as problem after problem cropped up in the final four minutes Thursday. The initial launch was delayed by excessive wind and a cargo ship believed to be in the launch-danger zone; it later turned out the ship was in a safe spot. Then the valve trouble cropped up in the rocket’s first-stage boosters. “It was a roller coaster: We’re going, we’re not going,� said Sarah McNulty, a space educator who was helping NASA escort the several-hundred news media on hand. “I’m running on no hours of sleep, zero, zero hours.� An estimated 27,000 guests gathered for the historic send-off — roads leading into Kennedy Space Center were packed well before dawn — and the atmosphere was remi-
niscent of the shuttleflying days. “Go Orion!!� urged a hotel billboard in nearby Cocoa Beach. Astronauts in attendance included Anna Fischer, one of NASA’s original spacewomen, and now assigned to the Orion program. She too was disappointed by the delay, but said “It’s way more important to have a successful flight.� “It was so much fun to come out here and have that same atmosphere as before a shuttle launch,� Fisher said. “We really miss that. That’s why we’re here. This is what we love.� Orion is aiming for two orbits on this inaugural run, reaching a peak altitude of 3,600 miles, high enough to ensure a 20,000 mph re-entry at a scorching 4,000 degrees. Splashdown will be in the
Pacific off the Mexican Baja coast, where Navy ships are waiting. The $370 million test flight — excluding the price of the capsule, which will be reused in a launch abort test — covers all delay-associated costs for the near term, according to officials. The spacecraft is rigged with 1,200 sensors to gauge everything from heat to vibration to radiation. At 11 feet tall with a 16.5-foot base, Orion is bigger than the old-time Apollo capsules and, obviously, more advanced. Managers want to test the riskiest parts of the spacecraft — the heat shield, parachutes, various jettisoning components — before committing to a crew. The earliest Orion might carry passengers is 2021; asteroids are on the space agency’s
radar sometime in the 2020s and Mars, the grand prize, in the 2030s. Lockheed Martin Corp., which is handling the test flight for NASA, opted for the powerful Delta IV rocket this time around. Future Orion missions will rely on NASA’s stillin-development megarocket known as SLS, or Space Launch System. The first Orion-SLS combo launch is targeted for 2018. NASA’s last trip beyond low-Earth orbit in a vessel built for people was Apollo 17 in December 1972, the last time men set foot on the moon. “It’s a thrilling prospect when you think about actually exploring the solar system,� space station commander Butch Wilmore said from orbit before the delay. “Who knows where it will take us?�
Military sexual assault reports up 8 percent, officials say BY LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The number of sexual assaults reported by military service members rose again this year, with an increase of 8 percent, officials told The Associated Press. Details set for release Thursday and a new anonymous survey suggests victims are becoming far more willing to file complaints than in years past, they said. The officials said there were nearly 6,000 victims of reported assaults in 2014, compared with just over 5,500 last year. The Pentagon changed its method of accounting for the assaults this year, and now each victim counts for one report. Using last year’s accounting methods, there were roughly 5,400 sexual assaults reported as of the
end of the 2014 fiscal year on Sept. 30, compared with a little more than 5,000 last year. That increase comes on the heels of an unprecedented 50 percent spike in reporting in the previous year. Based on those numbers, and the anonymous survey conducted by the Rand Corp., officials said that about 1 in every 4 victims filed a report this year, in sharp contrast to 2012, when only about 1 in every 10 military victims came forward. Two years ago, the anonymous survey conducted by the Defense Department found that about 26,000 services members said they had been the victim of unwanted sexual contact — a number that stunned officials and outraged lawmakers, triggering a barrage of congressional
hearings and legislative changes. This year, that number dropped to about 19,000 — including about 10,500 men and 8,500 women — which officials said suggested that there was a trend of sexual assaults declining. Officials discussed the latest reports on condition of anonymity because the survey results and sexual assault statistics have not been publicly released. Many of the numbers are preliminary and could change a bit as the reports are finalized. Officials said the decision to change the accounting system to have a report for every victim, rather than one report for an incident that could have multiple victims, would provide greater accuracy. Using that system, there were 3,604
victims in 2012, 5,518 in 2013, and 5,983 in 2014. Defense officials discussed the results with the White House on Tuesday and were expected to release the reports publicly on Thursday. The reports come as Congress continues to press for an overhaul of the military justice system to change the way that sexual assault cases are handled. Lawmakers complain that the Pentagon has not done enough to combat sexual assault across the military and make it easier and more acceptable for victims to report harassment and assaults. Victims had complained that they were not comfortable going to commanders to report assaults, particularly in the stern military culture that emphasizes rank, loyalty and strength.
In fact, one of the ongoing problems highlighted in the new survey is that more than 60 percent of the women who said they reported some type of unwanted sexual contact complained they also experienced retaliation. Most said they felt social backlash from co-workers or other service members. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., a leading advocate for improvements in protecting victims of sexual assault, pointed to the retaliation figures as troubling. “For a year now we have heard how the reforms in the previous defense bill were going to protect victims, and make retaliation a crime,� she said. “It should be a screaming red flag to everyone when 62 percent of those who say they reported a crime were retaliated against —
nearly two-thirds — the exact same number as last year.� Under fire from Congress, Pentagon leaders and the White House, the military services have launched programs to encourage reporting, provide better care for victims, step up prosecutions and urge troops to intervene when they see others in threatening situations. “Pending the report’s public release tomorrow, assuming news accounts are correct — reporting of assaults being up and incidents of assault being down are exactly the combination we’re looking for. I’m sure there’s more work to do, and I’m anxious to hear how victims feel about the services and support offered to them when they report an assault,� said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.
Workers clear away ‘Jungle’ homeless camp in Silicon Valley BY MARTHA MENDOZA AP National Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Police and social-workers on Thursday began clearing away one of the nation’s largest homeless encampments, a cluster of flimsy tents and plywood shelters that once housed more than 200 people in the heart of wealthy Silicon Valley. Authorities have been trying for years to resolve problems at the camp known as the Jungle, including violence and unsanitary conditions. By Thursday morning, about 60 people were left at the muddy, garbagestrewn site where crews started dismantling the crude structures. Al Palaces, a former truck driver who moved
in about eight months ago, was among those ordered out before dawn. “I just grabbed whatever I could because I don’t want to go to jail,� he said, standing next to an overloaded shopping cart stuffed with muddy plastic bags. On Monday, people living in the camp were given until Thursday to leave or face arrest for trespassing. Nancy Ortega sobbed as she watched tractors load garbage into trash trucks. Then a passing motorist shouted at those who had just been evicted. “People drive by and look at us like we’re circus animals,� she said. Many people had trouble dragging their belongings out of the camp

through ankle-deep mud. “It’s junk to everyone else. But to us, these are our homes,� said Ortega, who said she had been in and out of jail and struggled with addiction and mental illness. Animals also roamed the square-mile camp, some of them pets and others wild. Rats could be seen running through the muck. A few dozen protesters gathered at the site holding signs reading “Homeless people matter� and “Stand with The Jungle.� No arrests were reported. The encampment
stands in stark contrast to the surrounding valley, a region that leads the country in job growth, income and venture capital. Palaces said he liked the Jungle better than the streets because people would bring food but not bother the residents. “Even a job wouldn’t give me a house� because housing prices are so high, he said. With the camp cleared, officials planned to try to find shelter for the night for people connected with social services. Anyone not linked with social services will still
I AM SHOT! Little Johnny was no actor. He had only one line in the 4th grade play. All he had to do was wait for the sound of a gunshot from off stage, then slump across the couch, run his hand inside his lapel and shout, “I’m shot!�. But since he knew he wasn’t really shot, he was unable to say the words with any feeling. His teacher tried to demonstrate the scene for him, but his words always came out awkward and unconvincing. On the night of the first dress rehearsal, some of the other students in the play put an opened packet of catsup inside the jacket Johnny was to wear. As the time for Johnny’s line drew near, the other students began to snicker behind the stage. Then came the sound of the shot. Johnny fell across the couch (mashing the catsup packet), ran his hand inside his jacket, and pulled it out. When he saw the catsup, he yelled in panic, “I AM SHOT!�. It was the first time he had said the words convincingly. For a second or two, the scene became real to him. It was no longer an act. Through my years, I have heard a number of people nonchalantly say, “I know I’m lost.� They say it seemingly without feeling, with no real concern. They treat hell like the dark part of some fairy tale. It doesn’t scare them at all. It is not real to them, despite what the Bible teaches us about hell (gehenna). Eleven of the twelve times gehenna is mentioned in the New Testament, it is from the lips of Jesus Himself (read Mark 9:43-49 for 3 of those times). Friends, hell is real. It is no joke! We can deny it if we choose. We can try to explain it away (as I have heard some religious groups attempt to do), but such does not and will not change the facts of God’s Word (Matthew 25:46; Revelation 14:11, 21:8). There is coming a day when all the lost are going to shout, “I AM LOST!�. Hell will be real to them on that day (John 5:28-29; Matthew 25:13). I pray it becomes real to us all before that day. Remarkably, being saved does not seem real to some. More on this next week.

HomeFirst, the largest provider to homeless people in Santa Clara County, has a shelter nearby with 250 beds, including 27 that are set aside for camp residents. Another 50
beds are open in a nearby cold-weather shelter. “This feels terrible,� said Jenny Niklaus, the agency’s chief executive officer. “People are up to their calves in the mud dragging their stuff into the street.� In the past year and a half, San Jose has spent more than $4 million to solve problems at the encampment.

Florida hires Colorado State’s McElwain BY MARK LONG Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley wanted a coach with an offensive track record of success. Foley even agreed to pay extra to get him. After working though a sticky buyout issue, Jim McElwain left Colorado State on Thursday to become Florida’s next head coach. The Gators announced the hiring at the same time McElwain started a team meeting with players and assistants. Reporters heard a loud ovation before McElwain exited the room in tears. McElwain agreed to a sixyear deal at Florida that will average $3.5 million annually. He made $1.5 million this
season at Colorado State. “Coach McElwain was someone we targeted from the beginning of the search,” Foley said. “The more we worked through the process and did our due diligence, coupled with our meeting and conversations with him and those around him, it was obvious he is the right person to lead the Florida Gator football program.” McElwain accepted the job after working with Colorado State to reduce his $7.5 million buyout. Florida will pay the Rams $3 million over six years. McElwain will pay $2 million over time. The Gators also guaranteed Colorado State $2 million for a game in Gainesville between 2017 and 2020. The Gators traveled to
Colorado with the belief that the buyout could and would be whittled down. But Colorado State President Tony Frank initially stood firm on $7.5 million, and the financial roadblock prompted Foley to leave Colorado without an agreement Wednesday. McElwain, his attorney and both schools worked through the night to reach a settlement. McElwain and his family will be introduced at a Saturday news conference in Gainesville. ESPN first reported the hiring. “We wish him well and are confident we can recruit a coach who is committed to a sustained program of excellence at Colorado State over the long term,” Frank said.

Injuries piling up for Titans’ wide receivers Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans already have lost one starting wide receiver this week because of a lacerated spleen. Now another starter has a sore right hand that kept him out of practice Thursday. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said Kendall Wright hurt his hand on a route Wednesday, so they gave him the day off to rest his hand. Wright wore a splint on his hand during the open portion of practice, and Whisenhunt says they should know more about the receiver’s hand Friday with an X-ray planned. The timing couldn’t be much worse with the Titans (2-10) having lost six straight and 10 of 11 with the Giants (3-9) visiting Sunday. The Titans placed Justin Hunter on injured reserve Tuesday, and Wright is their leading receiver with 51 catches for a team-best five touchdowns. Their Please see INJURIES | 13A

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dave Aranda drew on a baseball analogy to describe Ohio State’s best offense in the Big Ten. It didn’t matter that injuries had the sixth-ranked Buckeyes relying on thirdstringer Cardale Jones at quarterback heading into Saturday’s Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis. “Every play with their skill is a home-run shot, so if you’re not perfect with everything, then it’s a big chance of a big play,” Aranda said. “This year, toward the end of the season, they’ve shown some big-play capability.” They’re going with the football equivalent of a promising but inexperienced hurler out of the bullpen to finish their season. It doesn’t get any tougher than having to face the league-best defense of Wisconsin (10-2, No. 13 CFP), which allows 260.3 yards per game.

Nebraska football hires Oregon State’s Riley BY ERIC OLSON Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — In a surprise move to perhaps everybody except the man who did the hiring, Oregon State’s Mike Riley is set to take over at Nebraska. Athletic director Shawn Eichorst ended his one-man search with the announcement Thursday that the 61-year-old Riley would replace Bo Pelini, who was fired Sunday. Riley will be introduced at a news conference in Lincoln on Friday. Riley has spent 14 seasons over two tenures at Oregon State, leading the Beavers to
93 wins and a 6-2 record in bowl games. “It is truly an honor to join the University of Nebraska family,” Riley said in a statement. “Though we love Corvallis and Oregon State, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to coach at one of the nation’s most storied football programs and I can’t wait to get started.” Riley’s name never appeared on the radar of college football pundits who speculated about Pelini’s successor. Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost, a Nebraska native who quarterbacked the Cornhuskers’ 1997 national
championship team, was among candidates believed to be under consideration. It turned out the man Eichorst wanted was 45 miles away from Frost, in Corvallis. Riley has strong recruiting ties in talent-rich California and a reputation for doing more with less at Oregon State. He employs a prostyle offense and is highly regarded for his development of quarterbacks. He has coached NFL QBs Matt Moore and Derek Anderson, and his starter this season, Sean Mannion, is the Pac-12’s all-time leading passer. Riley also is known for having a Mr.
Nice Guy persona, a contrast to the hot-tempered Pelini. “There was one coach who fit all the characteristics that I was seeking to lead our tradition-rich football program,” Eichorst said. “Mike Riley has a proven record of success, a sound approach to football and teaching, an understanding of the educational mission of our university and the integrity and values that we cherish at Nebraska. I have no doubt that Mike will assemble a tremendous staff and lead our student-athletes to win Big Ten titles and compete for national championships in the years ahead.”
Playoff scenarios: Who’s in if things get weird? BY RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press
The 12-member College Football Playoff selection committee will gather Saturday in Texas to watch the final weekend of the season play out and then rank the top 25 teams in the country. The top four will compete for the national championship in the sport’s first ever playoff. How difficult the committee’s job will be depends on the outcome of about a half dozen games to be played Friday and Saturday. “At that point, we will have had a season long body of work to evaluate, in addition to knowing who the confer-
ence champions are,” committee chairman Jeff Long said. The top four heading into the weekend are in order: Alabama, Oregon, TCU and Florida State. If they all take care of business, there is a good chance that will be the top four on Sunday, too. Probably. Maybe? But what happens if things don’t go as expected? Let’s dive into the possibilities. What happens if .... Missouri beats Alabama? The unthinkable — at least for many down South. There is a very real possibility the Southeastern Conference would be left out of the playoff. Missouri is ranked 16th
in the latest playoff rankings. That’s a long way to go to get in the four-team field. The committee clearly is not loving Missouri’s ugly losses (at home against Indiana and 34-0 to Georgia), so it’s doubtful it will forgive Alabama for losing to the Tigers and allow the Crimson Tide to back into the field. If the Tigers pull an upset, the SEC is going to need a lot of help. The Crimson Tide is favored by 14.5. Arizona beats Oregon? The Wildcats are seventh in the rankings, heading into a rematch with Oregon Friday. Two wins away from home against the Ducks would be
like holding a pair of aces: tough to beat. It could come down to a resume contest between Baylor and/or Ohio State and Arizona. Don’t bet against the Wildcats making the big jump. The Pac-12 and commissioner Larry Scott are touting their championship as a playoff play-in game. They might be right. Despite losing the first game, Oregon is favored by 14.5.

backups include Derek Hagan with eight catches all season and Kris Durham who has yet to play after being claimed off waivers Aug. 31. “Well, it’s not great,� Whisenhunt said when asked about depth at wide receiver. “Obviously, Kris and Derek are familiar with the offense, and we can use Dexter (McCluster) in certain situations like we’ve done. So you know, that’s the way it is.� Hagan is averaging 16.1 yards per catch and has a touchdown reception. He has been playing special teams and downed a punt at the 1 in last week’s 45-21 loss at Houston. Durham, a third-year veteran, certainly has the size at 6-foot-6 to help replace the 6-4 Hunter plus he’s known Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger for years. Mettenberger, who
said he has a great relationship with all the receivers, has known Durham since the quarterback was 13. Mettenberger’s mother, Tammy, worked in the Georgia football office before retiring, so her son hung around a lot. “We go way back,� Mettenberger said. “I’ve thrown a lot of routes with him when I was at Georgia and even when I was a backup player and he was a practice squad guy (in Tennessee). We’ve got a great relationship and really know how each other works.� Durham also practiced with Mettenberger for two springs at Georgia. They reconnected when the Titans picked Durham up off waivers from Detroit on Aug. 31 after starting 13 games with the Lions last season catching 38 passes for 490 yards. The receiver has had to patiently wait for his chance in Tennessee.

So Jones will make his first career start in the biggest game of the season for Ohio State (11-1, No. 5 CFP). “Obviously, a really good environment against a very tough defense,� Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said. “But it’s not like he’s not taking snaps with the one offense or understands the concepts. So he has a very good understanding.� Mainly, Jones has watched Barrett operate an offense that leads the conference in scoring (44.1 points per game)
and total yardage (503.4 yards). Barrett was hurt on a carry on the first play of the fourth quarter against Michigan. The Buckeyes were held to 416 yards in total offense in the game, their lowest total since being limited to 293 at Penn State on Oct. 25. For his career, Jones is 10 of 19 for 121 yards and two touchdowns. The move to Jones might put Wisconsin at a disadvantage because there’s not much film of him out there — especially in meaningful situations. “I guess we won’t really know until Saturday,� Badgers linebacker Marcus Trotter said when asked how different Ohio State’s offense might look with Jones instead of Barrett. “But at the same time, their offense is very similar to every other offense in that they’re going to stick to their bread and butter,� Trotter added. “They might have a couple tricks up their sleeves just because of the new quarterback.�

side him and his staff as they build a championship program both on and off the field.� Not only has the 52-year-old McElwain been a head coach — something Foley wanted after failing with former defensive coordinators Ron Zook and Muschamp — he also has NFL experience, Southeastern Conference ties and familiarity with the state of Florida. Most important is his offensive resume. The Rams rank 13th nationally, averaging 498 yards a game. McElwain took over a program that went 3-9 for three consecutive seasons (2009-11), but has enjoyed a quick turnaround since his arrival. The Rams went 4-8 in 2012 and 8-6 last year before this season’s breakthrough performance. They have wins against rival Colorado and Boston College in 2014. The Gators are looking for an offensive renaissance after four years of futility. Florida fans were spoiled watching Steve Spurrier’s “Fun ‘n’ Gun� in the 1990s and then Urban Meyer’s high-scoring spread scheme in the late 2000s. The Gators finished 105th, 103rd and 113th in total offense during Muschamp’s first three seasons. They rank
90th this season. McElwain could be the coach to take the program to the next step. Now, Florida is counting on him to him to get its program — mostly the offense — back to prominence. “He couldn’t turn down this job,� Colorado State senior guard Mason Myers said. “We know. We seniors know how it works.� At Fresno State, his offense averaged 419.5 yards and 32.9 points a game, which got Saban’s attention.

doubt they’d be done with a loss. Georgia Tech is 11th and beating Florida State would mean finishing the season with three straight wins against ranked teams. The Yellow Jackets would probably need Baylor (vs. Kansas State) and Ohio State (vs. Wisconsin) to lose to reach the top four, but considering who those teams are playing, that doesn’t seem so like such a stretch. Florida State is favored by 4. TCU struggles to beat Iowa State? The Horned Frogs got a pass for squeaking by at Kansas last month. That can’t happen again against a 30-point underdog at home. If it does, it would open the door for either Baylor or Ohio
State to replace the Frogs in the top four. With the Bears and Buckeyes in position to add marquee wins to their resumes, the third-ranked Horned Frogs better exert some serious game control against the Cyclones. Three of the top four teams lose? Assuming it won’t be TCU, the Big 12 would be looking good to get two teams in the field. TCU, Baylor, Ohio State and Arizona sounds about right in this scenario. If Baylor were to lose to KState, the ninth-ranked Wildcats could become a viable option, though that scenario probably allows Georgia Tech to squeeze through. Alabama, Ohio State and Baylor lose? This is how Missouri could get in. Assuming
Arizona and Georgia Tech also lose, the final spot with Florida State, TCU and Oregon comes down to Missouri, Kansas State and Wisconsin. Michigan State (eighth) and Missis-
sippi State (10th) would likely come back into the conversation, but neither would have the conference championship that those other three would have on their resumes.

Classic ‘O Holy Night’ has compelling story Recently I heard someone say it’s about time to hear “O Holy Night” since Christmas is upon us. I agreed – and then I started to wonder about the story behind the song. Such a powerful song must have an interesting history. … So I looked it up! Finding that the song was at one time forbidden to be sung in church by the leadership, I also learned that the common people refused to let the song die – the message was too powerful. The story goes that in 1847 a commissioner of wine in France, Mr. Placide Cappeau, known for his poetry, answered the request of a parish priest to come up with a poem for the Christmas Eve service. As he rode to Paris in a bumpy carriage, he imagined being present at the birth of Jesus. He envisioned the wonder of
the night as he wrote the words and called it the “Song of Christmas.” Reading over the words, CapLora Ann peau felt they Huff needed to be set to music in orBack Porch der for souls to be lifted by the words of the poem. Having a friend, Adolphe Charles Adams who was a classical musician, he confronted him with a request for a musical tune for the poem. Adams was a Jew and had not accepted this Jesus as the Messiah, but being a good friend of the poet, he accepted the challenge and came up with the original tune. The congregation sang the song on Christmas Eve and was deeply moved. The French people loved the Christmas carol and sang it over
and over, but later Mr. Cappeau left the church in a pull toward socialism and when the church leaders of the church found out the music composer was a Jew and not a “real Christian,” they banned the song from the church throughout France. The French common people didn’t take lightly the overpowering authority of the church leadership. They refused to let the song die even if they had to go against the “church.” They continued to sing the song. About 10 years later, John Sullivan Dwight, an American abolitionist, heard the song and loved the message of hope, most especially the verse “Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, and in His name all oppression shall cease.” He brought the song to our country and “O Holy Night” gained popularity in the North during the Civil War.
Legend says the French Catholic Church eventually accepted the song again after the powerful message became a peace producing tool during the Franco-Prussian War when soldiers began to sing during a quiet time between battles. The story goes that when the radio was invented, in 1906 on Christmas Eve Reginald Fessenden, a friend of Thomas Edison’s, was conducting experiments with a microphone and the telegraph. He began reading about Jesus’ birth from Luke 2. Wireless operators on ships and at newspaper desks around the world began hearing a man’s voice on their machines – the first radio broadcast being the Gospel of Christ! Fessenden picked up his violin and started to play. The tune was “O Holy Night” – a song penned by a wine merchant, put to music by a Jewish com-
Why are people so inconsistent? If you ever hear of someone that has played golf with me, they will tell you that I am probably the most inconsistent golfer they have ever seen. Listen to them because they are telling the truth. For 40 something years I have chased golf balls, that is, the ones I could find, all over golf courses. I have never tried to be better than my playing level because this is a game I enjoy but have never pursued mastering. There are many of us walking this earth that try to be someone that we are not. I have met and seen many people that have said they could do things that they had no idea of even where to start. Then
Gary Andrews Devotionals
there are people that play games with life, just as my golf game, playing hard but never mastering the subject. Why are we
like this? Are you one of those people that would rather tell a lie than tell the truth? Does it give you a sense of security, value or prestige knowing that the person you are talking with may never know the truth? What if the person you are talking with challenges you and asks you to fulfill the task?
Pope, patriarch demand end to Islamic State attacks BY NICOLE WINFIELD AND SUZAN FRASER Associated Press
ISTANBUL — Pope Francis and the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians demanded an end to the persecution of religious minorities in Syria and Iraq on Sunday and called for a “constructive dialogue” with Muslims, capping the pontiff’s threeday visit to Turkey with a strong show of Christian unity in the face of suffering and violence. Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I issued a joint declaration urging leaders in the region to intensify assistance to victims of the Islamic State group, and especially to allow Christians who have had a presence in the region for 2,000 years to remain on their native lands. “The terrible situation of Christians and all those who are suffering in the Middle East calls not only for our constant prayer but also for an appropriate response on the part of the international community,” they wrote. Specifically, Francis
told reporters on the way home from Istanbul that all Islamic leaders — political, religious, academic — should clearly condemn terrorism so that their people hear it directly from their mouths. “We need a global condemnation — including from Muslims — who say ‘This isn’t who we are. This isn’t the Quran,’” he said. Francis, who represents the 1.2 billion-strong Catholic Church, and Bartholomew, the spiritual leader of the world’s 300 million Orthodox Christians, called for “constructive dialogue” with Islam “based on mutual respect and friendship.” “Inspired by common values and strengthened by genuine fraternal sentiments, Muslims and Christians are called to work together for the sake of justice, peace and respect for the dignity and rights of every person, especially in those regions where they once lived for centuries in peaceful coexistence and now tragically suffer together the horrors of war,” they said.
I have seen this happen many times. The person doing the bragging or telling lies to fill their selfworth cannot do what they have said they could. You then become labeled as an inconsistent person and this label is something that you will carry until you actually can walk the talk. Many of us call ourselves great Christians, but are we really? Do we live and do what we say we do? Are we living by the standards that Christ gave us and are we witnessing for Him through our talk and actions? Are we listening to the gospel that is Christ ordained or have we tuned into the gospel of the world and
allowed our thinking to be subpar to what Christ has asked us to do? Remember what the apostle Paul told the church at Galatia in Galatians 1:6-7; “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel - which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.” The world is really good at allowing you and asking you to live as the world does and get away from the teachings of Jesus Christ. People see us on the street of the cities
poser, banned by church leaders, kept alive by the French common people, adopted by American abolitionists, sung by troops in the trenches, and at last broadcast to the whole world by invisible radio waves. (“A Moment in History” by Dr. Jeff Sanders.) … So the next time you hear the song, take time to pause and focus on the words, absorbing the truth of the story they proclaim, and be thankful for the people who preserved the song for us. It’s one of those powerful songs that should compel us to stand up and praise the One Who came to earth to set us free forever! (Lora Ann Huff is a Wenasoga resident and special columnist for the Daily Corinthian. Her column appears Friday. She may be reached at 1774 CR 700, Corinth, MS 38834.)
Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday – Galatians 1:6-9; Monday – Judges 17:1-13; Tuesday – Matthew 7:1-6; Wednesday – 2 Kings 10:18-31; Thursday – John 7:21-24; Friday – Luke 6:46-49; Saturday – Matthew 23:1-4. that we live and work and see us doing things inconsistent of what Jesus tells us. The only way that we can live a life for Christ is to stay in his word and obey His teachings. Then we can become masters of the Christian life and people will not see any inconsistency in our daily walk. It is the same as when I play golf. If I would take lessons I could better myself but I understand it is only a game for me to enjoy. As long as I can be the Christian person on the course that I am in everything else I do, then I
believe God will bless me through it. He asks me to be consistent in my walk with Him in everything I do. Prayer: Father God I praise you for all the blessings you have given me. I thank you for each and every day you give me on earth and I pray that I can serve and witness for you in all that I do. Amen.

Trial over teacher’s dismissal due Dec. 16 INDIANAPOLIS — A schoolteacher’s lawsuit over her dismissal by a northern Indiana Roman Catholic diocese can proceed to trial this month after a federal appeals court upheld the dismissal of an appeal by the defendants. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday upheld an order dismissing the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend’s appeal of a September ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert Miller Jr. allowing Emily Herx’s lawsuit to go forward. The trial is due to begin Dec. 16. Herx claims she was dismissed at Fort Wayne St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School because she tried to get pregnant through in vitro fertilization, a process that’s banned under Catholic doctrine.
Pastor accused of affairs fights to keep job MONTGOMERY, Ala. — An Alabama minister has returned to court in an effort to keep his job after confessing he had sex with church members without telling them he has AIDS. Circuit Judge Charles Price said Monday that he’ll rule within a week on whether the Rev. Juan McFarland can return to Shiloh
Missionary Baptist Church in Montgomery or whether a temporary ban from the church will become permanent. McFarland’s attorney argued that the church approved bylaws in January 2013 giving him his job for life, and that a vote to fire him in October was improper.
Woman sues over rabbi’s alleged voyeurism WASHINGTON — A Georgetown University law student is suing after she says she was sexually exploited by a rabbi who is accused of secretly videotaping women in a Jewish ritual bath. The Washington Post reports that the civil lawsuit was filed Tuesday in D.C. Superior Court and seeks class action status. The rabbi, Barry Freundel, was arrested in October and is charged with voyeurism for allegedly placing a hidden camera in the shower area of a ritual bath, called a mikvah. The lawsuit says Georgetown, the synagogue where Freundel was a rabbi and the mikvah ignored “red flags” that he was acting improperly.
Huge Utah Nativity scene breaks Guinness record PROVO, Utah — More than 1,000 people dressed as angels, wise men and religious royalty have gathered at a park in Provo, Utah, setting a new Guin-
ness record for the largest live nativity scene. The event on Monday featured a variety of performers who made videos posted on YouTube. It is also expected to serve as a backdrop for a music video. Organizers said breaking the record was secondary to emphasizing the birth of Christ over Christmas shopping.
Boehner links tree lighting to Jesus Christ’s birth WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner says Christmas is a time to rediscover “the glory of God’s love.” Boehner presided at Tuesday’s lighting of the Capitol Christmas Tree, an 88-foot spruce from Minnesota’s Chippewa National Forest. Senator Al Franken said one of the tree’s 10,000 ornaments, a Native American dream catcher, is believed to “catch all the bad dreams and thoughts while letting only positive thoughts come true.” The Minnesota Democrat said that’s “a good sentiment for the holiday season.” It was left to Boehner to remind the crowd that on the first Christmas, an angel appeared announcing the birth of “a savior, which is Christ the Lord.” The National Christmas Tree was to be lighted Thursday on the Ellipse outside the White House in a ceremony attended by President Barack Obama.
