Santa Claus visits FCA group BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
GLEN — Christmas came earlier at Alcorn Central Wednesday. Elementary students got the opportunity to visit with Santa Claus thanks to the Alcorn Central High School Fellowship of Christian Athletics. Eleven FCA sophomores, juniors and seniors organized the yearly event which gave each pre-kindergarten through fourth graders a few
minutes with Santa. Each student also received a candy cane from Saint Nick. Students who paid $5 received a photo with Santa. “We all volunteer our time to help make this special for every kid,” said kindergarten assistant Wendy Mullins, who managed the Santa photography during the event. “Best of all, every kid gets to see Santa — he loves talking to every single kid and finding out what they want for Christmas.”
Students were also treated to a Christmas sing-along and story time while they waited for their turn with Santa. Money raised from the event help fund scholarships awarded to a two deserving ACHS FCA students each year. “It’s great to be able to help raise some money for our scholarships, but we really do this because the kids enjoy it so much,” said FCA Student President Josh Harbor.
County supervisors passed resolutions Monday to get plans moving on replacement of a couple of unsafe bridges. Affecting a small number of residents, the bridges are on County Road 764 in the First District and Droke Road in the Corinth city limits. The resolutions request the assistance of the Tombigbee River Valley Water Management District. In both cases, a temporary bridge will be set next to the bridges during the repair. The bridge on the east end of Droke Road “serves one house and serves three farms,” said Corinth Street Commissioner Philip Verdung. “It’s the only way in and out. It also provides the city access to the Phillips Creek and Bridge Creek flood plains in that area.” City services are not currently able to cross the bridge. Only counties can request assistance from TRVWMD, so the city asked the county to pass the resolution. The Road 764 bridge affects one home on a dead-end road. Tombigbee will provide labor while the local governments will provide the materials. In other business before the Please see COUNTY | 2
Family hosts Santa for shelter benefit BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Santa is showing up for the shelter. Bobby and Jane McDaniel will be entertaining Saint Nick in his visit to the area. The McDaniels have their home decorated — inside and out — with thousands of decorations for his trip from the North Pole. Individuals are invited to see both Santa Claus and all the decorations on Saturday from 1-4 p.m. “This is all Jane,” said Bobby of the countless Christmas trinkets. “I just get them up and put them back up.” Bobby decided to incorporate the decorations into a way to help the CorinthAlcorn Animal Shelter. “The shelter is necessary,” he said. “If not for it, there would be animals roaming all over the place.” Jane McDaniel started her annual Christmas work in early November. It
takes over a month to get five trees up, over 100 Nutcrackers placed along with other numerous decorative items related to the Christmas season. “It gets better every year because I find something I want to add,” said Jane who has been decorating the home for 20 years. “I get a lot of ideas from magazines.” Around nine inflatables are in the front yard of the home. Those wishing to have their photo taken with Santa Claus can do so around the inflatables. “They can take their own photos if they want,” added Bobby. “A donation jar will be set up for people to give to the shelter.” The McDaniels live at 25 County Road 105. The best route is to take Kendrick Road and turn on County Road 126. The home will be the last one on the left after going through two stop signs.

Four wrecks in Biggersville Staff photos by Zack Steen
The Mississippi Highway Patrol reported no injuries after a series of four traffic accidents about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning on the southbound side of U.S. 45 in Biggersville just north of Biggersville High School. A car and a truck rig hauling a manufactured home made contact, sending the car into a rollover crash off the highway. The MHP reported the first accident created a chain reaction of three different rear-end collisions involving six vehicles. Besides the MHP and Magnolia EMS, other agencies responding to assist with traffic control included the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department and Biggersville Fire and Rescue. The first accident remains under investigation by MHP.

In other business before the board, supervisors heard a complaint about access to a watershed lake in the Third District near the Jacinto area. One resident who wanted to fish at the lake said he was run off by a woman, and another said some of the people who live near the lake are trying to control the public road.
Board Attorney Bill Davis said the property owners retain the rights to their land, even where the water is on it. However, there is an 8-foot right of way along the public road, and Sheriff Charles Rinehart said that makes fishing possible if a person stays within that area. “As long as they don’t block the road, they can park there and fish,” he said.

Chewalla shooting remains unsolved CHEWALLA, Tenn. — A shooting in late-November in a Chewalla house is still unsolved because of a lack of cooperation from the person shot and the alleged shooter has not been located. The shooting victim was not seriously injured in the incident and is now eluding authorities in both Alcorn and McNairy counties on separate charges. Travis Montgomery Willis, 27, of Ramer, was shot in the shoulder by a female on Nov. 28 at 670 Old Reed Schoolhouse Road. He was not seriously injured and the bullet did not go all the way through his shoulder, according to McNairy County Deputy Brad Johnson. Willis’ girlfriend, Samantha Paige Wilson, of 3357 Chewalla Road in Chewalla, transported Willis to the Ramer Quick Stop where she left him. Deputy Larry Wilbanks asked Willis his name and he said “Wesley Wilson,” and he was later identified as Travis Willis. Wilson nor Willis were the owners of the house where the shooting took place. Deputy Wilbanks asked the victim what had happened and all he said was that someone had broken into the house and shot him. When he was asked for a description of the shooter, he told the deputy that he did not know what the shooter looked like. Willis was transported to Magnolia Regional Hospital ER Trauma Unit where he stayed overnight in the ICU. He then left the hospital the next morning without approval from the hospital, according to the deputy’s report. Johnson said the last report on Willis was that he was left by a family member at the corner of Guys Road and Dickey Road in Guys. The deputy said the sheriff’s department is still looking for the victim and shooter at this time.

Ole Miss students rebrand Grand Ole Christmas OXFORD — According to the director of the Ole Miss Student Union, the Student Activities Association Executive Council took initiative to re-brand Grand Ole Christmas. The new name for the event was Hotty Toddy Holidays in an effort to make the annual holiday celebration more inclusive. A member of the council told the Daily Mississippian it seemed to say there was too much Christianity on campus. “I don’t think it really gives off overbearing Christianity feel,” student Madison Kazerooni said. Madison Kazerooni does agree with the SAA that changing the name to Hotty Toddy Holidays would make more students feel welcomed to participate. “I do agree with changing it and making it more inclusive this year,” said Kazerooni. Student Taylor Shelley says he could see the well-intended change being negative on campus, even though he does believe it was a good decision. “It’s a bad change in a way, because we are breaking away from the traditional ideas that everyone is kind of use to around here,” said Shelley.
Page Lagarde is a student who doesn’t agree with the decision at all. “I don’t think it’s a problem that it puts off an image of Christianity,” said Lagarde. She think that the effort to be more inclusive might actually do the opposite. “I don’t think that eliminating words that will help Christianity is being inclusive,” said Lagarde.

Tupelo schools getting upgrades
STARKVILLE — Further enhancing their longtime support of Mississippi State University, Jim and Julia Rouse of Houston, Texas, have recently made new contributions designated for the Presidential Endowed Scholarship awards and the MSU Foundation Ambassadors student organization. “Presidential Endowed Scholarships provide high-achieving students a four-year college experience that is second to none,” said MSU President Mark E. Keenum. “We are grateful that Jim and Julia Rouse are helping Mississippi State compete successfully with prestigious institutions across the nation to bring these outstanding students to our campus.” A 2012 MSU National Alumnus, Jim Rouse is a 1962 MSU industrial management graduate who spent 42 years with ExxonMobil Corp. before retiring as vice president in 2004. He is a native of Libertyville, Illinois, who grew up in Germantown, Tennessee. Julia Rouse is a former first-grade teacher and Laurel native who attended the Mississippi University for Women. The couple’s $500,000 endowment will establish the Jim and Julia Rouse Presidential Endowed Scholarship. At MSU, Presidential Endowed Scholarships are prestigious awards made possible through separate private gifts, and are awarded on a four-year basis, given the recipients maintain certain academic criteria. Currently, 46 MSU scholars are receiving Presidential Endowed Scholarships, which help recruit the best students nationwide. Additionally, a $50,000 contribution from the Rouses will increase the MSU Foundation Ambassadors Excellence Fund, an annual fund previously established by them in 2012. The fund fosters the mission of the Foundation Ambassadors, a student organization launched in 2011 to enhance the relationship between the Foundation, students and other groups through various functions and special events that create awareness of philanthropy at MSU. “The generosity of Jim and Julia Rouse has made our evergrowing goals more attainable for our organization ...,” said Thomas Sherman, Foundation Ambassador president and senior marketing major from Greenville.

Why Obama spared ISIS oil BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists
Last week, on the Charlie Rose show, former Obama CIA Director Mike Morell dropped a bombshell that was little noticed by the media. He said that it seemed the reason President Obama did not bomb the oil fields now controlled by ISIS in Iraq and Syria was that he did not want to cause environmental damage. Morrell said that “we didn’t go after oil wells, actually hitting oil wells that ISIS controls, because we didn’t want to do environmental damage and we didn’t want to destroy that infrastructure.” If ever a statement by a former administration official offered a glimpse into the loony priorities of the Obama administration, this is it. We did not bomb the oil fields upon which ISIS depends for the bulk of its revenue because of our concerns about adding to carbon emissions that promote global warming (in the desert!). So we let ISIS rake in millions every day — selling about 100,000 barrels of oil at an average of about $20/barrel (discounted) for a take of $2 million every day. ISIS is led by radical, crazy jihadists. But the rank and file of the ISIS military is reported to be paid soldiers fighting for money. Cut off the money and you cut off the army. But Obama put the minor, incremental damage of destroying oil fields ahead of the need to stop ISIS from rampaging through the Western world, killing people at random! Obama apparently worried that the effects of destroying the oil wells could be severe. This kind of environmental fantasizing was in vogue during the Gulf War when Saddam Hussein’s destruction of all of Kuwait’s oil fields was though to be likely to cause huge damage. Paul Crutzen, a noted atmospheric scientist, predicted that a “nuclear winter” might ensue with a cloud of smoke covering half the North Hemisphere for at least 100 days. Dr. Carl Sagan argued that the effects of the destruction of Kuwaiti oil fields could be comparable to the explosion of the volcano Tambora in 1815, which produced “a year without summer.” It never happened. Scientist Patrick K. Dowling wrote, in his study “The Meteorological Effects of the Kuwaiti Oil Fires,” said that the smoke only affected the weather pattern throughout the Persian Gulf and surrounding region during the periods that the fires were burning in 1991. A 1992 study found that emissions of carbon dioxide were only 2 percent of global emissions. Big deal. And remember that Kuwait produced about 2 million barrels per day before the Gulf War — at least 10 times as much as the ISIS oil wells generate. The Kuwaiti fires dwarfed anything destroying the ISIS oil wells would produce in harmful environmental effects. Why isn’t Obama using our air power to attack tankers carrying ISIS oil to refineries in Turkey? Again we wanted to fight the world’s first green war. As Morrell put it “There seemed to be a judgment that ... look we don’t want to destroy these oil tankers because that’s infrastructure that’s going to be necessary to support the people when ISIS isn’t there anymore and it’s going to create environmental damage.” Once again, Obama wants to fight terrorism, but everything else comes first. Morrell noted that the administration didn’t even want to hit oil trucks carrying fuel from ISIS oil fields. To enter the mind of Barack Obama and see the low priority he accords fighting terrorism is to see a nightmare unfolding. How can we trust him to keep us safe and to keep out ISIS terrorists who have infiltrated the ranks of Syrian refugees? With Obama, protecting Americans from terror comes in last in his list of priorities. (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 pray that I may be spared the deprivations that may come from years spent in selfishness. Help me to realize before it is too late how little self can hold and how much remorse may accumulate. Help me to aspire to ideals that compel me to live an immortal life. Amen.
A verse to share “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” —Proverbs 27:1
A giving tree that beckons BAY ST. LOUIS — This town, in most ways, is a model of what small towns can be when people pull together instead of apart. It doesn’t hurt that it has quaint houses the color of melons and sherbet and sits by the shimmering sea. Ten years ago, this community went through the worst a place can endure, and came out stronger, friendlier. People seem to think a lot here, too, and to discuss ideas as much as light gossip. They make it a point to celebrate reading, music and art. No surprise, then, that the town’s library is a gathering spot, and that on a December Saturday night, hundreds were milling about drinking wine and eating festive foods and checking out the Christmas trees. Not just any Christmas trees, but artistic examples that were part of a competition the library has sponsored for the 21st time. Now, at home my tree is a work in progress, a ce-
dar I cut in the woods and hauled south for eight hours, turning the limbs brittle Rheta in the proJohnson cess. It lists starboard in Columnist its bare plastic base, and the top has no lights. I keep meaning to do something about it. I considered the irony as I helped judge the fantastic library trees. I arrived early. The Bay St. Louis Library was a feast for these flinty eyes. I strolled amongst the trees, which ranged from modest tabletop varieties to an extravagant big one honoring Paris and the victims of terrorism. I was a good judge in one respect; I knew none of the decorators personally. There were lots of award categories, thank goodness. Plenty of ribbons to go around. Girl Scout Troop 3438
had a winner, a small tree embellished with handmade animals and photographs of scouts and their pets. Nothing says “Christmas” like a toilet-paper-roll puppy. The most beautiful tree was decorated by the Gulf Coast Women’s Center for Non-Violence. It was shaped like a dress form, replete with a ribbon bustle and peacock feathers. The feminine tree stood in a back corner, as if waiting to be asked to dance. A gumbo tree had all the right ingredients in clear glass balls. It blinked its way into my heart immediately. It is almost gumbo weather down here. One elaborate creation replicated the cover of the beloved children’s classic “The Giving Tree,” using crepe paper for leaves and illustrating the library’s theme: A Season of Giving. Some trees made a point. One used for decoration only prescription pill bottles that a chronically ill pa-
tient had saved for a year. And believe me, that was plenty of decoration – and preventive medicine. It’s always good to remember that – even in this pleasant place – not everyone’s life is merry and bright. Top prize went to a local architectural firm, unabridged Architecture, which was made of stacked crab traps filled with books covered in plain brown wrappers. I guess it was saying that books are always a good catch. A town’s traditions are revealing, same as a human’s. The things we do by rote, by habit, become part of the fabric of who we are. To incorporate an exquisite purpose into an annual chore makes the world a more beautiful and meaningful place.

A Churchill-like moment LONDON — Wisdom can often be found in unexpected places. During debate in the House of Commons on whether Britain should join the U.S. and Russia in bombing ISIS targets in Syria, Hilary Benn, the shadow foreign secretary of the liberal Labour Party, delivered a speech that approached Winston Churchill in its vision: “And we are here faced by fascists. Not just their calculated brutality, but their belief that they are superior to every single one of us in this chamber tonight, and all of the people that we represent. They hold us in contempt. They hold our values in contempt. They hold our belief in tolerance and decency in contempt. They hold our democracy, the means by which we will make our decision tonight, in contempt. And what we know about fascists is that they need to be defeated. And it is why, as we have heard tonight, socialists and trade unionists and others joined the International Brigade in the 1930s to fight against Franco. It’s why this entire House stood up against Hitler and Mussolini. It is why our party has always stood up against the denial of human rights and for justice. And my

view, Mr. Speaker, is that we must now confront this evil. It is now time for us to do our Cal bit in Syria. Thomas And that is why I ask my Columnist colleagues to vote for the motion tonight.” Members of both parties cheered and the motion passed. In the U.S., we get moronic statements claiming that climate change is “directly related” to terrorism (Sanders), endure calls for more gun laws when current gun laws are disobeyed, and stand bewildered as our president, in the face of attacks by radical Islamists, says, “We cannot turn against one another by letting this fight be defined as a war between America and Islam,” while Attorney General Loretta Lynch targets people who use antiIslamic language for fear it “will be accompanied by acts of violence.” Meanwhile, Islamic extremists move about the U.S. with apparent impunity. MSNBC and other networks, meanwhile, give airtime to the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations (CAIR), a so-called advocacy group
with ties to the Holy Land Foundation and Hamas, to spout propaganda that the San Bernardino murders had nothing to do with Islam. And let’s not forget those “Christian” killers who shoot up abortion clinics, as if these are immorally equivalent. The BBC also refuses to label ISIS killers as terrorists, preferring to call them “militants.” In his brief address Sunday, President Obama offered no new strategy for defeating Islamic terrorism. He disingenuously claimed his policies are working. If this is success, what does failure look like? The UK and U.S. have invited this madness by admitting thousands into our countries, many of whom come from regions that do not embrace Western values, foolishly hoping these people will assimilate. The FBI says it is investigating ISIS suspects in every U.S. state. Why, then, are we allowing more refugees in before these investigations are concluded and action taken? Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich described the Islamist movement as a “virus.” A virus must be isolated and eradicated. Bombing a foreign country is not enough. Just as

a virus requires leadership from the medical community and cooperation from those at risk of infection, the ISIS virus requires political leadership, which President Obama has failed to provide. What will our leaders say if these murderers succeed in acquiring weapons of mass destruction? What happens if one of these weapons wipes out London, New York or Washington? Should we take decisive action now, or wring our hands later? On Nov. 16, 1934, Winston Churchill, who stood virtually alone in his early warnings about the growing rearmament of Germany and the threat it posed to a world that preferred the false comfort denial brings, told his fellow parliamentarians: “As we go to and fro in this peaceful country with its decent, orderly people going about their business under free institutions and with so much tolerance and fair play in their laws and customs, it is startling and fearful to realize that we are no longer safe in our island home.” Eighty-one years later, we are again unsafe.

Hundreds of educators sign up to learn strategies Associated Press
BILOXI — Hundreds of Mississippi educators gathered at a conference in Biloxi featuring roughly 75 sessions focused on teaching strategies, learning theories and ways to integrate technology in the classroom. “The goal is to build teachers’ capacities and to improve literacy
across the state,” Sherry Shepard, conference chair of the Mississippi Reading Association, said. Recent rounds of testing, including Common Core standards, have led schools in the state to place more emphasis on reading at all grade levels and improving students’ reading abilities, The Sun Herald reported. The
“third-grade reading gate” — the requirement that third-graders pass a reading test to be promoted to fourth grade — along with new Common Core standards are tangible measures. The association has been holding the conference for 45 years. Some 575 educators attended this year’s event, which is an increase
of about 100 from last year. Ideally, teachers can take what they’ve learned and immediately use it in their classrooms, Shepard said. Sandra Jarrett and Cid Butler, both teachers from Madison Middle School, hosted a session on leading a Socratic seminar in the classroom.

GROTON, Conn. — States with large military bases are filling what is traditionally the federal government’s role by picking up the tab for construction and repairs, saying they can’t afford not to. The number of states willing to spend taxpayer money to fix infrastructure in military facilities, and the scale of the projects, has increased steadily in the past five years. State officials argue the Pentagon keeps asking for base closings and they want to protect their bases and the revenue they bring in. Essentially, states are treating bases like large corporations they want to keep within their borders, and at least one highranking Navy official says it’s a good idea. Connecticut has been a leader, setting aside $40 million to improve aging infrastructure at the naval submarine base there, much like it’s spending hundreds of millions of dollars to keep companies in Connecticut and create jobs. “We are changing the ways we think about military bases,” said Bob Ross, executive director of Connecticut’s Office of Military Affairs. “These are big commercial enterprises. They are publicly financed, but there is so much commercial activity that goes on at these bases, you have to look at them the same way you look at a corporation.” Of the nearly two dozen states where the military has a major presence, slightly more than half have spent state money to fix infrastructure on military installations, the Association of Defense Communities has found.

BALTIMORE — Officer William Porter was poised and calm as he testified in his own defense Wednesday, telling jurors that he didn’t call an ambulance for Freddie Gray because Gray was alert, appeared uninjured and didn’t complain of any pain or wounds in the back of a police van. Instead, Gray only said “yes” when Porter offered to get him medical aid, the officer testified. Porter said he suggested to the van driver, Officer Caesar Goodson, that Goodson take Gray to the hospital because he knew a prisoner claiming injury would be turned away from jail. But “I can’t tell Officer Goodson what to do,” Porter said when asked why he didn’t do more to ensure that Gray went to the hospital immediately. Porter, who was driving a patrol car, responded to calls for assistance at some of the van stops. Porter said that during the fourth stop, he went inside the back of the van and helped Gray, who was handcuffed and shackled, from the floor onto the bench. Porter said Gray wasn’t limp, and was able to support himself with
“Freddie Gray wasn’t injured at stop four or five, it’s that simple. Had he been injured, I would have called a medic.” William Porter Baltimore police officer, testifying on the arrest of Freddie Gray
his legs. The fourth stop is crucial in Porter’s case because prosecutors say Gray was already injured by the time he arrived there, and that Porter’s failure to call a medic contributed to Gray’s death. Defense attorneys say Gray was injured later in the ride. “Freddie Gray wasn’t injured at stop four or five, it’s that simple,” Porter said. “Had he been injured, I would have called a medic.” Prosecutors also say that by not buckling Gray into a seat belt during that stop, Porter was criminally negligent. The department requires detainees to be buckled up and the policy was updated just days before Gray’s arrest, leaving no ambiguity about whether a prisoner should be belted in. Porter told the jury
that the wagon is “pretty tight” and said that of his 200 arrests involving the transport van, he has never belted in a prisoner. Porter added that it would have been Goodson’s responsibility to buckle Gray into a seatbelt and he didn’t know if Goodson did so at the fourth stop because he left the scene before as the driver was closing the van doors. Goodson faces the most serious charge stemming from Gray’s death: second-degree “depravedheart” murder. His trial is next month. As Porter spoke from the witness stand, facing the jury box, the jurors listened intently, some leaning forward and scribbling notes. Porter, the first of six officers to go on trial, said he only realized Gray was hurt when the van
1 killed by tree; storms drench Northwest Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — Torrential rains pummeled parts of the Pacific Northwest for another night, causing mudslides and flooding roads, leaving an Oregon woman dead after a tree fell onto her house and sweeping seven people into a Washington river, where they were rescued. A large Douglas fir tree crashed into a Portland

home early Wednesday, killing a 60-year-old woman who was in bed. The tree, roughly 30 inches in diameter, was uprooted and sliced through the front corner of the house from the back at about 3:30 a.m., pinning the woman underneath. Lt. Rich Tyler of the Portland Fire Bureau said the woman’s brother and husband escaped without injury. “The rooms they were in were not affected by the
tree at all, but they had to get by the tree to get out,” Tyler said. Next door neighbor Sam Choumxay, whose bedroom window faces the woman’s home, said he was woken up by the raging storm. He said he watched in horror as the tree fell onto his neighbor’s house with a thud. The tree top slammed into two cars in Choumxay’s driveway. Choumxay said he ran outside, made it around

reached the police station. Porter said Gray was unresponsive “with mucus around his nose and mouth.” He called Gray’s name — which elicited responses at previous stops — but this time Gray was silent. Porter told jurors the experience was “a very traumatic thing for me.” Porter faces manslaughter, assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment charges. If convicted on all of the charges, the maximum penalty he faces is about 25 years. Porter said that during the fourth stop, Gray made eye contact with him and spoke “in a regular tone of voice.” “He never made a complaint of pain or an injury,” Porter said. “In order to call for an ambo I need age, sex, location and complaint of injury. He wouldn’t give me a complaint of injury.” Gray was a 25-year-old black man who died a week after suffering a spinal injury at some point during a 45-minute ride in the back of the van. His death set off protests and a riot in the city, and became a rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement.

A MATTER OF THE HEART As I sit down to write this article, my mind returns, as it has many times in the last few days and weeks, to the tragic events that unfolded in Paris, France and San Bernardino, California. In the two events combined more than one hundred fifty innocent people lost their lives, and hundreds more were injured. In the wake of such senseless slaughter, we typically hear a wide range of emotions put into words. We are mystified as to how someone could be so calloused as to take the lives of so many innocents. We are angered and repulsed at the brutality and the carnage, and at what sometimes appears to be our inability to bring to a halt such acts without infringing on the rights of the masses who are law abiding, hard working, patriotic citizens. “Why ?” is the question so often asked as we ponder these and other atrocities cast in the same mold. Let us be reminded that evil has been on the earth, essentially, as long as good and that Satan is the father of all evil, and God, the Father of all that is good, and that the heart, or mind of man, including the intellect and volition, or will, the power to choose is the “soil” into which either good or evil may be planted, and bring forth fruit. (Matthew 13:24- 30) Mark’s gospel records an event in the life of Jesus which makes the matter quite clear. When questioned about his disciples failure to wash their hands before eating, Jesus said, “ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within and defile the man.” (Mark 7:21 – 23) I am told by those who are in the computer business: ”Garbage in, garbage out.” The same is true of our lives. If we feast on the lies and hatred spawned by Satan himself , and nurtured and fed to us by the world, the results will always be the same. If we listen to, and follow God, we will be blessed. We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

the tree, and raced to his neighbors’ front door. “Is anybody hurt? Is anybody hurt? I just kept calling to them,” he said. More than 5 inches of rain have fallen on Portland since Sunday, and strong winds have uprooted trees from the saturated ground. At SeaTac Airport, where the official weather for Seattle is recorded, the weather service says 2.13 inches of rain fell on Tuesday. That beats the previous Dec. 8 record of 1.61 inches In western Washington, seven people were swept into the Puyallup River from a riverbank homeless camp Wednesday morning. Someone called 911 around 6:30 a.m. to report that people were in the river up to their waists and chests beneath the State Route 512 overpass, The News Tribune newspaper reported. All seven were pulled out of the river by Central Pierce Fire & Rescue by 8 a.m. and checked by paramedics. Nearby, a small RV park was evacuated Wednesday morning as floodwaters stranded several recreational vehicles and small cars. Firefighters went vehicle-to-vehicle to check on occupants and some people were evacuated by boat. The camp was a temporary home for several dozen RVs and camper-trailers. The owner of the RV park, Kevin McLeod, hooked up a pump at midday to try to remove the water. To the north, in Fall City, resident Eric West said flooding is typical for the Snoqualmie Valley, but this year seems to be a little worse than usual, with three or four floods. “Times are changing,” West said. “Through the summer, we had the driest summer on record and now we’re making up for all the rain we missed in the summer time.” The Red Cross said it opened four shelters Tuesday in Milwaukie, Vernonia and Portland and in Kelso, Washington. A fifth shelter, in Clatskanie, Oregon, is being supported by the agency. Meanwhile, the storm has led to power outages and closed schools. Puget Sound Energy in Washington reported more than 70,000 power outages early Wednesday.

Across the Nation Officer fired after shooting inquiry NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Nashville police officer has been fired following an investigation into why he shot at a burglary suspect. Metro police spokesman Don Aaron told news outlets Tuesday that officer Matthew Nelms was relieved of his duties for violating the department’s policy on use of deadly force. According to an investigation, Nelms fired into a SUV while police sought a burglary suspect Nov. 30 near a home in Nashville’s Madison neighborhood. No one was hit by Nelms’ gunfire. Police say Nelms initially reported that he fired in self-defense because he believed his life was in danger. However, Aaron says an investigation revealed that doesn’t appear plausible. Aaron says the department’s review found that Nelms fired his service pistol as many as five times as the vehicle was in reverse, backing away from him. Â
7 half-pound mutts first test-tube pups LOS ANGELES — A team of veterinarians, scientists and lab workers gathered around a surrogate hound and watched her give birth to seven half-pound puppies, the first dogs ever conceived in a test tube. “We each took a puppy and rubbed it with a little towel and when it started to squiggle and cry, we knew we had success,� said Dr. Alexander Travis, who runs the lab at the Baker Institute for Animal Health at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York. “Their eyes were closed. They were just adorable, cute, with smooshed-in faces. We checked them to make sure they looked normal and were all breathing,� he said. The puppies born July 10 are a mix of beagle, Labrador and cocker spaniel and are now healthy 5-month-olds, Travis said. All but one female were adopted. She’s being kept by the lab to have her own litter. The lab kept track of the puppies by painting their nails with different color polish. Travis adopted two, still known by their nail polish names, Red and Green. In vitro fertilization, the process of fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body, is widely used to assist human reproduction these days. The first human birth from IVF took place in 1978. But IVF efforts with dogs repeatedly failed until now, according to Dr. Pierre Comizzoli, a reproductive physiologist for the Smithsonian Local Honey & Sorghum
Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, which works with Cornell. “The biology of the dog is really, really different than humans,â€? Comizzoli said. Dog pregnancies last only two months and females go into heat just once or twice a year, releasing immature eggs instead of mature eggs needed for IVF. An earlier experiment at Cornell helped pave the way. In 2013 at Cornell, Klondike became the first puppy born from a frozen embryo. Klondike’s beagle mother was fertilized using artificial insemination. Her embryos were collected, frozen and implanted in Klondike’s surrogate mother. Â
Gospel singer dies at age 75 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Gospel singer LaBreeska Hemphill, who co-founded the awardwinning family group The Hemphills, has died in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 75. A statement from the family’s publicist said she died Wednesday. Originally from Flat Creek, Alabama, she got her introduction to music through her singing family, the Happy Goodman Family, and sang onstage at the historic Ryman Auditorium at age 9. She married Joel Hemphill of West Monroe, Louisiana, in 1957 and in 1966, they signed their first recording contract. The Hemphills were among the most successful gospel acts through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, earning multiple Dove Awards. They also added their children, Joey, Trent and Candy, to the lineup. Some of their most popular songs were “He’s Still Working on Me,â€? ‘‘I Claim the Blood,â€? and “Consider the Lilies.â€? Â

Former NBA player faces sentencing TRENTON, N.J. — Former NBA player Tate George is arguing his case in federal court in New Jersey as he awaits sentencing on fraud charges. The former University of Connecticut star was convicted in 2013 on four counts of wire fraud in what prosecutors say was a real estate Ponzi scheme. Each count carries a maximum 20-year sentence. But George likely will face far less time. George is representing himself at Wednesday’s hearing in Trenton. He claims the real estate ventures were legitimate and he didn’t mislead anybody. The government has presented charts to show that as investors’ money came in, it was used to pay off earlier investors. Among the investors were current NBA player Charlie Villanueva and former player Brevin Knight. George played for Milwaukee and New Jersey in the NBA.

Cochran backs Bush’s campaign JACKSON — The Republican chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee is endorsing Jeb Bush for president. Thad Cochran of Mississippi announced his decision Tuesday, saying in a statement that the former Florida governor is “a serious leader with executive experience and a forward-looking vision.â€? “He offers real solutions to lead our nation, to return more power to the states and to keep us secure. I’m confident Jeb Bush will make America strong and safe and free again. I am proud to support Jeb Bush for President,â€? Cochran said. Cochran won a seventh term in 2014 after defeating a tea partybacked state lawmaker in a bitter Republican primary. Mississippibased political consultant Austin Barbour, who worked on the Cochran campaign, is now working for Bush. The campaign says Cochran is the fourth U.S. senator to endorse Bush, who is also backed by 26 House members. Mississippi’s other U.S. senator, Republican Roger Wicker, has not endorsed a presidential candidate. Two of the state’s four U.S. House members have chosen favorites. Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson has endorsed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Republican Rep. Gregg Harper has endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Â

GULFPORT -- Gulfport community advocates are raising their concerns about a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study on the environmental impact of a proposed port expansion. The Sun Herald reports the corps held a hearing Tuesday as part of its public-comment period, which runs through Monday, on the port’s plans to fill 282 acres of water bottoms to expand the east and west piers and north harbor. Community groups fear additional truck and rail traffic would create increased air pollution in minority neighborhoods.

Lt. Jim Roe tells The Sun Herald police took the teens into custody Monday at their families’ homes in Gautier. They have been released to the custody of Jackson County Youth Court to face charges. Police say the 14-yearold was caught on surveillance at Woodforest Bank. He presented a note to the teller demanding cash. Roe said the teller handed over the cash, and the teen ran out to where the 16-year-old was waiting in the parking lot. The two drove away minutes after the robbery. Â

Labor market bellwether Applications for unemployment benefits have been at historic lows for much of this year. Weekly applications have remained below the key threshold of 300,000 since late March, which is usually associated with net monthly job gains in excess of 200,000. Applications rose two weeks ago to a seasonally adjusted 269,000. The Labor Department is expected to report today that applications held steady last week.

Hire if you are hopeful Details in the November jobs report reveal a lot about which parts of the U.S. economy are thriving and which are stumbling. Businesses tend to hire when they expect sales to increase and shed workers when the situation turns bleak. From the jobs report it looks like homebuilders and restaurants expect business to keep improving, while oil and natural gas companies are far less confident that oil and gas prices will rise and help them grow. Construction accounted for 46,000 of the 211,000 jobs added last month. Over the past year, construction jobs have increased a solid
4.1 percent as home sales and apartment-building have improved. Homebuilder stocks have followed suit. The Standard & Poor’s Homebuilders index has risen more than 6 percent year-to-date. Restaurants and bars have added jobs at a similarly fast clip, and the Dow Jones U.S. restaurants and bars index has appreciated nearly 20 percent in 2015. But the oil and natural gas sector shed jobs last month and it has let go of 108,200 workers in the past 12 months. S&P’s oil and gas exploration index has lost about 33 percent of its value so far this year.
Monthly job growth by sector in 2015 (in thousands) 60
Where the jobs are
Restaurants and bars Construction Mining, oil and natural gas

Hiring at restaurants and construction firms this year have pointed to stronger revenues and stock performance, while layoffs in the energy sector have corresponded with a decline in stock values.

Mom should give son room to breathe WIZARD OF ID

Dear Annie: My 35-year-old son, “Edgar,” has been diagnosed with major depression and is receiving disability. He currently lives in an apartment on my parents’ property. Since Edgar is currently vehicle-less, I’ve been helping him with grocery shopping, etc. Last week, after a bout of extreme allergy symptoms, his depression escalated, and he texted me, saying, “I don’t care about anything anymore. My life is worthless.” He claimed he had no food left, but refused to let me bring over groceries. He said he didn’t care if he wasted away, although he promised not to kill himself. Over the weekend, I texted him, but there was no response. By Monday, I was frantic. I reached out to his physician, leaving a message with the assistant, emphatically stating that my son promised he would not harm himself. He just didn’t want to eat. I told the assistant that it was crucial that I speak with the doctor before an intervention. Well, this inept nitwit conveyed the wrong information to the doctor, resulting in a call from the police inquiring about a welfare check. And instead of talking to me, the doctor phoned my parents. Then Edgar called,
Annie’s Mailbox
the National Alliance on Mental Illness at 1-800-950-NAMI (nami.org).
ranting that I have totally messed up his life because I told his doctor he was suicidal. I phoned the doctor, who apologized profusely for the confusion her assistant had caused and assured me that she would call my son and straighten things out. I waited another day and then sent Edgar a text, wanting to open communications. He replied, “Forget it, the damage is already done. I can’t go back to that doctor.” He said he was going to move far away where no one could find him. What do I do? — Drama Dear Drama: You need to give Edgar some breathing room. Although he may actually be grateful that you care, this much attention to his mental health might be overwhelming him. Send a calm text, saying you love him, you’re sorry you upset him, and that you hope he will get back in touch soon. We know you are worried, but there is only so much you can do without his cooperation. Meanwhile, please contact
Dear Annie: I had to response to “Torn,” whose husband was desperate to stop his daughter from marrying outside their religion. Two of my four children married someone of another faith. Their partners are perfect for them, and they love each other very much. I can only hope my other two children find people who love and cherish them as much. Religion isn’t everything. It’s only part of who a person is. If they want to have a relationship with their daughter, they will have to be more open-minded. — Happy Mother-in-Law Dear Happy: We agree. But we also understand that many parents react to this as though the child is rejecting not only their parents’ faith, but also the parents themselves, and it is painful for them. It takes time for some parents to accept that people of all religions (or lack thereof) can be part of a loving family. We hope both “Torn” and her husband will do their best to remain close to their daughter.

Teen’s serious relationship draws fire from boy’s mom DEAR ABBY: I’m 13 and in what I think is a serious relationship with “Josh.” The problem is, his mom thinks I’m “mentally abusing” him. I have never done anything to Josh to make her think that. She and I have had our disagreements and have not spoken for periods of time before, but nothing like this has ever happened. I’m pretty sure I love Josh, and I don’t want to lose him because of what his mom thinks of me. What should I do? -- PUZZLED IN INDIANA DEAR PUZZLED: You didn’t mention how old Josh is and how he feels about all the attention you’re giving him, but I can offer a couple of suggestions. The first is to slow down. Take a step back so Josh can have some breathing room. The second is to try to make a friend rather than an enemy of Josh’s mother, who may be worried about a 13-year-old girl who seems fixated on her son. DEAR ABBY: I remarried when my son, “Kevin,” was 5. He’s now 20. My husband has always tried to be a good dad to him even though Kevin was challenging at times. Kevin is now in the military. Before he left, he adopted a dog, “Leisel,” that’s a year old. Kevin will be deployed overseas for
three years and wants us to take her. We have a dog and cat, a big yard and three teenage Abigail d a u g h t e r s want Van Buren who Leisel, but my husband Dear Abby says no. He says it was a mistake to get the dog in the first place, and Kevin needs to learn a lesson and do the hard thing and give her up. I agree it was a mistake, and I don’t really want another dog, but I’m willing to do it for my son. Lots of parents get “stuck” with their kids’ pets. They roll their eyes and just do it. Who is right? -- WILLING TO DO IT IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR WILLING: You are. This is no time to teach your son a lesson. With the international situation heating up as it seems to be, there’s no telling where your son could wind up being stationed. Let him go with peace of mind knowing his pet will be well cared for until he returns. DEAR ABBY: You probably wonder why I think this is a problem, but it is for me. I’m a single male, almost 77, who can easily
pass for 50 or 55. The problem is friends, acquaintances and some strangers (in their 40s, 50s and 60s) think that because I look so much younger than my age, I should be able to perform the same physical tasks they do, which I can’t. I have the same aches and pains as anyone else my age. I’m flattered that I look younger, but how do I explain that because I look 50 to 55, doesn’t mean I necessarily feel that way. I know, I know. Some people probably wish they had my problem. -- YOUNG/OLD IN CALIFORNIA DEAR YOUNG/OLD: I have news for you. There are plenty of people half your age who also have physical problems that prevent them from performing certain tasks -- including bad backs, bad knees, rotator cuff injuries and more. Because someone looks great doesn’t necessarily mean that the person IS 100 percent. If you are asked to do something beyond your ability, be honest about it and say no. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are so focused on what you need to improve that you forget to be confident in what you’ve already accomplished. Give yourself more credit. The world needs what only you can deliver. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You feel like you should be further along than you are now, which will serve as motivation. You’re actually in the perfect place. Things are moving; it’s just hard to see right now. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone has already gone through what you’re going through now and has just the kind of help and advice you most need. So why try to invent a solution when you can borrow one that will work just fine? CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll dance around a hot topic. It’s hard to speak about it and even harder to be silent about it. Just know that your feelings on the matter are normal and do your best. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There
are fights to fight, struggles to endure, weapons to reveal -and yet your choice may be to artfully surrender instead. This surrender is not a last resort. It’s an act of love, devotion and faith. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Success will happen in milestone markers. Place your goal beyond the thing you really want and there will be many reasons to celebrate whether or not you achieve the far-flung aim. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Without pressure and heat there is no diamond; that’s something to remember as you weather the extremes of the day. Keep thinking about the reason you’re doing this -- the jewels that are being forged. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Fitness trackers now come in beautiful designs. Stretchy batteries are used to power smart clothing. People are increasingly wearing technology. You’ll have fun with a trend today and enjoy being an early adopter.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your talent for fantasy will be emphasized. Let your fantasy command you and you’ll be unhappy. Stay in command of your fantasy and you’ll be a great and satisfied artist. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Some count loving amongst the hardest of human tasks. Maybe it’s a matter of timing, because today the loving choice comes so automatically to you that you’ve no idea how anyone could think that love is hard work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Examine and re-examine your thoughts, especially the ones that are holding your back, keeping you down or just generally getting in the way of you being all you want to be. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It will be better to tolerate a small amount of boredom or discomfort. Really, this won’t last long. By trying to avoid it, you could make things worse, as short-term pleasures bring long-term consequences.

Minnesota (8–4) at Arizona (10–2) The Vikings are coming off their worst performance of the season in a 38–7 home loss to Seattle, and now they have to face the high-ying Cardinals on short rest. Even in the best of times, Arizona is no fun to play against. The Cards are the only team in the NFL in the top ďŹ ve in both offense and defense (ďŹ rst and fourth, respectively). Minnesota must ďŹ nd a way to run the ball: The Vikes average 166 yards per game on the ground in their wins but just 77 in their losses. The bad news is that during its current six-game winning streak, Arizona is allowing just 73 rushing yards per game.
W
Buffalo (6–6) at Philadelphia (5–7) The Eagles are below .500, but the Bills are the more desperate team. Thanks to a stunning upset of New England and losses by the Redskins and Giants, Philadelphia is tied for ďŹ rst place in the NFC East. Buffalo likely needs to win out to claim an AFC Wild Card spot. Buffalo has 13 turnovers in its six losses but just one in its six wins, so the Bills just need to take care of the ball. But that won’t be easy against an Eagles team that ranks third in the NFL in takeaways. Pittsburgh (7–5) at Cincinnati (10–2) The Bengals won the ďŹ rst meeting (16–10 in Pittsburgh), but that was Ben Roethlisberger’s ďŹ rst game back from a knee injury. Since that loss the Steelers are 3–1 and are averaging 529 yards of total offense. Cincinnati can clinch the AFC North with a win and has rebounded nicely since losing two in a row. Since the short losing streak the Bengals are 2–0, scoring 68 points while allowing just 10. If Cincinnati wins, it would be its ďŹ rst season sweep of the Steelers since 2009.
A healthy Ben Roethlisberger has the Steelers in the thick of the playoff race.
at Dallas. Strangely, the key team in this race is the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo plays at Philadelphia and Washington the next two weeks before facing Dallas at home on Dec. 27.

They face Carolina twice and would lose any tie-breaker with the Bucs after dropping both meetings. Our predictions: Jameis Winston and the Bucs would be a great story, but we’ll stick with Seattle and the North runner-up in the NFC. As long as Roethlisberger is healthy, we’ll take the Chiefs and Steelers in the AFC.
OUTSIDE THE HUDDLE It’s happening below the radar of most NFL fans, but two young quarterbacks are developing nicely in the bottom of the AFC South. Tennessee rookie Marcus Mariota and second-year Jacksonville passer Blake Bortles put on a show Sunday in a wild 42–39 Titans win. Bortles threw for 322 yards and ďŹ ve touchdowns without an interception. Mariota threw for 268 and three touchdowns while also rushing for 112 yards. Mariota’s 87-yard touchdown run was the longest in the NFL this season. ... Going from young to old, 40-year-old Matt Hasselbeck of the Colts left Sunday’s loss to the Steelers with neck and rib injuries but is expected to be in the lineup against the Jaguars on Sunday. Indianapolis is tied for the AFC South lead with Houston at 6–6 with the Texans set to visit next week. ... Minnesota lost two defensive starters early in a loss to Seattle, and their status going forward is uncertain. Linebacker Anthony Barr and safety Harrison Smith are dealing with groin and hamstring injuries, respectively, and didn’t have much time to heal this week with the

CAN’T MISS MATCHUPS
The big questions — and some possible answers — with one month left to play e’re three months into the NFL season, and yet it seems there is still so much we don’t know. Who gets the top seed in the AFC? What’s wrong with the Patriots? Can Carolina run the table? Who wins the NFC East and AFC South? Who has the edge in Wild Card races? Let’s tackle them one at a time and take a look at the possible answers with one month left in the regular season. Who gets the top seed in the AFC? What’s wrong with the Patriots? OK, we lied, we’re addressing these two at the same time. Because less than two weeks ago, New England looked like John Gworek D ORFN IRU KRPH À HOG DGYDQWDJH WKURXJK Athlon Sports out the playoffs.

Denver kept pace in the race for the top seed in the AFC but may be without two more key players this week. Safety David Bruton, himself an injury replacement for T.J.

Cleveland will start Johnny Manziel at quarterback this week after Austin Davis played the whole way in a 37–3 loss to Cincinnati. With the Browns currently in line to pick ďŹ rst in next year’s draft, how Manziel performs could determine if they will be looking for yet another quarterback of the future.
New England (10–2) at Houston (6–6) The Patriots are reeling a little bit with back-to-back losses, but no one should be panicking in New England. What are the odds that the Pats allow three return touchdowns again like they did in a loss to the Eagles? Still, Tom Brady has been facing pressure behind a banged-up offensive line, and J.J. Watt of the Texans leads the NFL with 13.5 sacks. Houston lost ground in the AFC Wild Card race with a loss in Buffalo but remains tied with the Colts for the AFC South lead. The Texans are in Indianapolis next week.

Points per game by the St. Louis Rams during a current ďŹ ve-game losing streak, a run that cost offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti Jr. his job. The Rams rank 31st in points and total offense, ahead of only San Francisco in both categories. The Rams have scored 18, 13, 13, 7 and 3 points during the losing streak. In this case, striving for continuity cost St. Louis. Despite the fact that the offense ranked no better than 23rd in three seasons with Cignetti as quarterbacks coach, head coach Jeff Fisher promoted him after last season when Brian Schottenheimer left for the University of Georgia.
POWER RANKINGS Four-for-four New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall caught 12 passes for 131 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Giants, and in the process became the ďŹ rst player ever to have a 1,000-yard receiving season for four different teams (Denver, Chicago, Miami and the N.Y. Jets). With 83 catches for 1,062 yards and 10 touchdowns already, Marshall has put himself in position to have his second-best season at the age of 31. If he keeps up his current pace, Marshall would catch 110 passes for 1,416 yards; his career highs are 118 and 1,508, both set in 2012 with the Bears. He is also ďŹ nding the end zone more than ever before, with touchdowns in nine of 12 games this season, including at least one in each of the last ďŹ ve games. He is on pace to catch 13 touchdowns, which would be a career best.

Eagles coach: Murray upset with carries but no undercutting The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Eagles coach Chip Kelly says running back DeMarco Murray is unhappy with the carries he got in an upset win of the New England Patriots on Sunday, but didn’t undercut anyone by speaking with team owner Jeffrey Lurie. Kelly rebutted rumors on Wednesday that Murray sought out Lurie, saying the NFL’s rushing leader from last season
simply sat next to Lurie on the plane ride home from Massachusetts. “All of our players sit in first class and when Mr. Lurie flies with us, he sits in first class. So they happened to be sitting next to each other,� Kelly said. “He did not request a meeting with Mr. Lurie.� Kelly says he met with Murray and most running backs would be similarly frustrated. “Every running back
wants the ball more. Every wide receiver wants the ball more. Every quarterback wishes he threw the ball more,� Kelly said. Murray played just 14 snaps and carried the ball just eight times in the game. Murray was not available on Wednesday, but is expected to speak with reporters after practice on Thursday. “He only got 14 snaps, but the offense as a whole
only got 50 snaps,� Kelly said. “The offense was just not on the field a lot.� Darren Sproles had 15 carries for 66 yards while Kenjon Barner carried nine times for 39 yards. Murray joined the Eagles this season with a deal worth $40 million over five years, with $21 million guaranteed. Through 12 games, he’s carried the ball 163 times for 569 yards, an average of 3.5 yards per carry.
Ryan Mathews, who has missed the past three games with a concussion but is expected to return Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, has 427 yards on 75 carries, an average of 5.7 yards per carry. After a terrible start to the season — his first two games were a combined 21 carries for 11 yards — Murray seemed to get better and look like the back he was in Dallas last season. He ran for 83 yards in
a win over the New Orleans Saints and had 112 in a win against the New York Giants the following week. Kelly said the Patriots game didn’t go as expected for its offense. “We didn’t have the ball in the third quarter. I’m not complaining — we had an interception return for a touchdown and a punt return for a touchdown — so we got 14 points, I’m happy,� Kelly said.

Manning participates in drill work The Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. —Peyton Manning threw on his own for the first time in 3 1-2 weeks Wednesday, when more than a dozen Denver Broncos were either limited at practice or held out altogether. Coach Gary Kubiak said Manning “did about a half hour of throwing” and some drill work inside the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse with the strength and conditioning staff apart from the rest of the team.
The 39-year-old quarterback has been sidelined since Nov. 15 with a torn plantar fascia in his left foot, bruised ribs and a sore throwing shoulder. Asked if he watched Manning’s workout, Kubiak said: “Yeah, I am definitely involved with them, whether it’s film or personally (going) over there depending on what’s going on that part of the day. We’ve got a good little process going on right now. We’ll stick to it throughout the course of the week.”
Manning has said he has no timetable for a possible return because doctors cannot tell him when he’ll be healthy again. Brock Osweiler, 3-0 in Manning’s place, makes his fourth start Sunday when the Broncos (10-2) host the Oakland Raiders (5-7). Manning was one of eight players who missed practice Wednesday. Nine more were limited. “I noticed that at practice,” wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said. “There are a
lot of guys banged up. We’re going to try to get as many back as we can so we can go out and try to get another win come Sunday.” The Broncos had to release third-string quarterback Christian Ponder, whom they signed as insurance two weeks ago, because they were thin at safety. With T.J. Ward (ankle), David Bruton Jr. (knee) and Omar Bolden (hamstring) injured, they brought in fifth-year veteran Please see MANNING | 17

MLB recommends netting for all 30 ballparks Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Major League Baseball recommended teams have protective netting between the dugouts for any field-level seats within 70 feet of home plate. The guidelines were announced Wednesday at the winter meetings following a season in which several fans were injured by foul balls, prompting MLB to study fan
safety. Most teams are expected to expand their use of netting. “It is important that fans have the option to sit behind protective netting or in other areas of the ballpark where foul balls and bats are less likely to enter,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “This recommendation attempts to balance the need for an adequate
number of seating options with our desire to preserve the interactive pre-game and in-game fan experience that often centers around the dugouts, where fans can catch foul balls, see their favorite players up close and, if they are lucky, catch a tossed ball or other souvenir. “ The recommendation also applies to spring training ballparks, many of them
owned by municipalities. “The recommendations strike a balance between providing a reasonable inventory of seats behind protective netting at each stadium while at the same time accommodating fans who desire seats with unobstructed access to players and on field activity,” said Dan Halem, MLB’s chief Please see NETTING | 17
Changes coming to bowl system after record 40 games Associated Press
NEW YORK — The bowl system has finally snapped after years of being stretched thin. Three teams with losing records will be among the 80 playing in a record 40 bowl games over the next month and two teams from the same conference will play each other in a bowl. This offseason, a task force will study the bowl system, intent on making changes to
prevent that from happening again. The NCAA has largely removed itself from the bowl business, allowing conferences, communities and television networks to create postseason games. The NCAA is not looking to take control of the bowls, but everyone agrees adjustments are needed. “The members are going to have to figure out, what’s the purpose of bowl games?” NCAA President Mark Em-
mert told reporters Wednesday at the IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum. “Is it a reward for a successful season or is it just another game that we’re going to provide an opportunity for?” Ten years ago a bit less than 50 percent of the FBS earned a postseason bid. This season, 63 percent of 127 FBS teams will play in bowls, including new games in Florida and Arizona.
The new NCAA football oversight committee was forced to tweak a safety net policy to allow 5-7 teams to be bowl-eligible based on their Academic Progress Rates. That let the Big Ten fill its contracted bowl spots with Nebraska and Minnesota, though the new Arizona Bowl in Tucson ended having to match Mountain West Please see BOWL | 17

Shiloh Keo on Wednesday. “Shiloh has been in this scheme,� Kubiak said. “We drafted him in Houston, so he’s played for us before, been a good special teams player. So, yeah we felt like if need be he could help us quickly from a standpoint of knowing what we’re doing and helping ... on special teams.� Keo tweaked Denver defensive coordinator Wade Phillips last week when the Broncos resigned safety Josh Bush, telling him on Twitter, “didn’t want to pick me up, huh?� Phillips responded
that Bush had been with the Broncos in training camp but Keo knew how much he still thought of him. Yes, Keo replied, he did. But, Keo noted that it’s “still the same system� and asked Phillips to “keep me in mind.� Keo, who was in the Bengals’ training camp this summer, said once December rolled around he had turned his attention toward making a comeback in 2016. “That whole Twitter thing was just an opportunity for me to stay in contact and get my name thrown around hopefully for a futures contract,� Keo said. “Things happen and now I’m here.�

legal officer. “Both fan safety and fan choice are extremely important to MLB, and these recommendations reflect those principles.� Boston, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia immediately said they will follow the recommendation. The Phillies hope to install thinner material that is less noticeable. “We anticipate that such compliance will require us to expand our protective netting behind home plate about 10 feet in width on both sides,� Philadelphia
Chief Operating Officer Michael Stiles said. ““We understand that our fans differ in their opinions about sitting behind protective netting and we will do our best to accommodate those different preferences.� Boston is “in the process of evaluating different design options to identify the best solution for Fenway Park and is proactively reaching out to the ticket holders most affected by the planned changes,� the Red Sox said. Cincinnati and Houston said their ballparks already are in compliance.

rivals. Colorado State and Nevada, who play in different divisions and didn’t meet this season, will play Dec. 29. That angered Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson. “Clearly, the system is broken,� Thompson said in a statement. Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby leads the football oversight committee and said the goal of the task force is not specifically to cut bowl games. “I think the fact is we do have too many bowl games and we have more bowl games waiting in the wings,� Bowlsby said. “But you can’t fault the communities from going ahead and doing something if they want to. We’re going to have to do a deep dive on it
and figure it out.� “We’re going to have a candid conversation about bowls either going dark, that’s an assumption of risk that they’ll have to understand that there might not be teams, or do you structure a set of expectations, whether it’s some criteria bowls have to meet to be a part of consideration,� Sankey said. It’s early to speculate on what changes are coming, but some are expected. “In our society, sometimes we don’t put up a traffic light until there have been a couple of accidents at an intersection,� FBA executive director Wright Waters said during a teleconference with reporters this week. “This may be the opportunity to force that conversation.�

Jefferson draws 5-game drug suspension The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Hornets will be without Al Jefferson for an additional five games once he returns from a leg injury after the veteran center was suspended without pay for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program. Jefferson is currently out with a strained left calf and can’t begin serving the five-game suspension until he’s healthy, the league announced Wednesday. Team officials said on Nov. 30 that Jefferson
would miss “two to three weeks� with the injury, so it is unclear exactly when Jefferson will be eligible to return to action. “I just feel so low right now for every little boy and every little girl who looks at me as somebody they look up to,� Jefferson said an hour before the Hornets hosted Miami. “For me to make mistakes like this, it’s not cool. It’s not cool for them and it’s not cool for me. That kills me more than anything.� The Hornets released a statement saying they’re “disappointed in Al’s deci-
sions that led to this suspension. As an organization, we do not condone this behavior.� The banned substance Jefferson used has not been disclosed. When a reporter asked Jefferson if the substance was marijuana, he declined to answer. “I failed a drug test,� he said. The team said it has addressed the situation with Jefferson and he’s “regretful and understands that we expect him to learn from this mistake.� Jefferson released a
statement through the team apologizing to the organization, owner Michael Jordan, his teammates and fans for what he called a “poor decision.� Jefferson, who said he lost 25 pounds this offseason, was averaging 13.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game this season for the Hornets, below his career averages of 16.9 points and nine rebounds per game. Jefferson said he first learned of the positive drug test “about two weeks ago.� He’s in the final season of a three-year contract.

TEAM STATISTICS
’Hogs’ haven
2. Mississippi (9-3): It’s not the playoff, and the Rebels didn’t have the once-in-a-generation season they hoped for … except in one way. (LW: 3) 3. LSU (8-3): The Tigers weren’t imagining a Texas Bowl invitation at the start of November, but that’s almost an afterthought after the fall and rise of Les Miles last month. (LW: 4)
Close games — preferably in overtime — were the Razorbacks’ forte in 2015
4. Florida (103): The Gators navigated the SEC East with a limited offense. It couldn’t do the same against Florida State and Alabama. (LW: 2) 5. Tennessee (8-4): The Volunteers land on New Year’s Day after a five-game winning streak to close out the regular season. (LW: 5)

Pick one involving Arkansas The Razorbacks played three overtime games (beating Auburn and Mississippi while losing to Texas A&M) and lost a 51-50 shootout to Mississippi State. The most memorable of the bunch was the defeat of Ole Miss, when Arkansas used a lateral to convert a fourth-and-25 in overtime. Two plays later, the Hogs scored and tacked on a two-point conversion for a 53-52 victory in Oxford.
6. Mississippi State (8-4): The Bulldogs have never won 19 games over a two-season stretch in program history. (LW: 6)

STAR OF THE WEEK ■ TB Derrick Henry, Ala-
bama: Once again carried the Crimson Tide offense, rushing 44 times for 189 yards and a TD.
STAT OF THE WEEK
AWARDS
7. Arkansas (7-5): The Razorbacks were one of the SEC’s better teams in the latter half of the season. (LW: 7)
— Capsules compiled by Patrick Stevens, for GateHouse Media
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER 8. Georgia (9-3): Kirby Smart returns to his alma mater, a high-profile first gig for the longtime coordinator at a national power. (LW: 8)
QB Dak Prescott, Mississippi State >>> Frankly, Prescott might mean more to his team than any other player in the country (though Florida State’s Dalvin Cook, Stanford’s Christian McCaffery and Navy’s Keenan Reynolds all could make a case). Rather than endure a rebuilding year, Mississippi State won eight games and earned a Belk Bowl invitation thanks to Prescott, who threw for 3,413 yards, 25 TDs and four INTs for the Bulldogs.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR TB DERRICK HENRY, ALABAMA He might win the Heisman Trophy, he might help the Crimson Tide claim a national title and he definitely owns the SEC’s single-season rushing record. Alabama rode Henry in the closing weeks of the season, and he’s the primary reason the Crimson Tide mustered enough offense to find itself back in the playoff for a second year in a row.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
10. Auburn (6-6): Theoretically, Auburn’s date with Memphis in the Birmingham Bowl could be a high-scoring affair. (LW: 10)
LB REGGIE RAGLAND, ALABAMA The anchor of Alabama’s stifling defense, Ragland made 90 stops on the season and tacked on three sacks and two forced fumbles. Those were the gaudiest numbers from a unit that became exceptionally stingy after getting roasted by Mississippi in mid-September. Also worth mentioning: Missouri LB Kentrell Brothers (league-high 152 tackles) and Texas A&M DE Myles Garrett.
11. Kentucky (5-7): There will probably be some urgency next season as Mark Stoops enters his fourth year. (LW: 11)
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR WR/PR CHRISTIAN KIRK, TEXAS A&M It’s true that Kirk was better in the first half of the season than the second, but he still finished fourth in the SEC in receiving (70 catches, 925 yards, 6 TDs) and fourth in punt return yardage (341 with two TDs). Two other completely worthy possibilities: Alabama WR Calvin Ridley (75 catches, 893 yards, five TDs) and Arkansas linebacker Dre Greenlaw (tied for 10th in the league with 93 tackles)
COACH OF THE YEAR
1,986 Alabama’s Derrick Henry has rushed for 1,986 yards this year, an SEC singleseason record. Georgia’s Herschel Walker previously held the record with 1,891 yards in 1981.
9. Texas A&M (8-4): The Aggies face Louisville in a matchup of teams that cycled through quarterbacks for various reasons at an absurd rate. (LW: 9)
JIM McELWAIN, FLORIDA Never mind that there was a bit of smoke and mirrors to the Gators’ offense, particularly after Will Grier’s midseason suspension. Florida won 10 games and earned an SEC East title under its first-year coach after barely becoming bowl eligible last season, and its stumbles (against Louisiana State, Florida State and Alabama) are plenty understandable. The future looks bright in Gainesville.
12. Missouri (5-7): The Tigers hired Barry Odom, an alum and a veteran of retiring coach Gary Pinkel’s staff, to take over the program. (LW: 12) 13. Vanderbilt (4-8): The Commodores made more progress in Derek Mason’s second season than a one-win improvement might suggest. (LW: 13) 14. South Carolina (3-9): Will Muschamp knows a bit about following (or preparing to follow) legends. (LW: 14)
