Park service wants school property

2013 Christmas Basket Fund

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Even before the city of Corinth has the keys to the three former school campuses in hand, it suddenly has three proposals for use — one for each of the schools — on the table.

Representatives of the National Park Service and Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission appeared before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday to express interest in the West Corinth school property. The vacant school is situated on battlefield property across the street from the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center on Linden Street. The

“A Community Tradition�

Basket fund tops $14,700 The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Crossroads area as generous donations are arriving daily for the 18th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian 2013 Christmas Basket Fund.

The civic club and newspaper have set a $25,000 community fundraising goal this year so 1,000 food baskets could be given away to local families on Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Crossroads Arena. Baskets were given on faith and hope the goal will be reached.

The total increased to $14,795 after the most recent donations arrived. They are $100 from Sue McNair in memory of Charlie McNair; $100 from John and Marcia Cooper in memory of Tim Cooper; $100 anonymous gift in memory of Sue McDaniel; $25 from Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church; $100 from Danny Lowery in memory of Dillard Lowery; $100 from Mrs. Jeanine Davidson in memory of John and Greg Davidson; $100 from James and Emma Newcomb; $100 from Allan and Kathryn Lee in memory of Holley Lee, Becky Brawner and Beverly Hussey; $100 from Mickey Davis, Scott, Stefanie, Sarah and Sydney McClain in loving memory of Bobby Dean Davis; $1,000 from Gunn Drug Co. in memory of Fred Reiselt; $200 from Duane Gunn in memory of Beverly Hussey; $25 from Luther and Nancy Mills; and $100 from Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Honey.

Donations can be the perfect time to make a holiday tribute to a special person. Contributions can be made “in honor of� someone living or “in memory of� someone who has passed.

They can be family or friends, co-workers, employees, bosses or even groups who have made an impact on a person’s life.

All tributes will be published in the Daily Corinthian until Christmas Day. Donations can be brought to the newspaper office at 1607 Harper Road or mailed to the Daily Corinthian, Attn: Christmas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, Miss. 38835.

board also again heard from representatives of the North Corinth Christian Academy, who have decided that the East Corinth campus would best suit their needs.

The board members received a letter Monday requesting donation of the West Corinth property to the National Park Service.

Money is a big part of the discussion.

Mayor Tommy Irwin, stressing his efforts to generate revenue for infrastructure improvements, expressed reluctance to “give an asset away� rather than selling the property and said he believes the move would not be well-received by

citizens.

Woody Harrell, the former superintendent of Shiloh National Military Park, encouraged the board to take the long view, “thinking not about our problems where we are today but the potential for 25, 50 years down the road,� he said. “Corinth has, in the interpretive center, a crown jewel.

It has never gotten as many visitors as we hoped when we planned it, and I think one reason for that is it’s a standalone building ‌ Every inch we can add to the footprint of that center where we can tell that battlefield story I think will make it easier to bring visitors from Shiloh, from all over the coun-

try, to visit Corinth, not to see a standalone building but to see something much bigger.�

He mentioned the possibility of a third-party entity raising money that would satisfy the city’s financial needs with the property eventually coming to the park service.

Aldermen Chip Wood and Mike Hopkins voiced support for the three potential occupants, including the Easom Outreach Foundation, which already uses South Corinth, to move forward. “I want everybody to be assured that I’m not thinking about next year,� said Wood.

GE starts production of new Monogram built-in refrigerator Staff Reports

SELMER, Tenn. — Everything is cool at GE. The McNairy County company announced the production start of the first new General Electric Monogram brand refrigerator on Tuesday with state and local government officials on hand for the announcement.

The new product, part of a $20 million investment in Selmer, has already created 10 new jobs with more expected to be added in the coming years, according to GE officials.

The new French door built-in refrigerator, among the fastest-

growing refrigeration configurations today, is an addition to the other models made at the plant and is the first offering of its kind within the GE Monogram lineup.

Tennessee Commissioner Bill Hagerty and McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks joined company executives and 140 employees at an unveiling ceremony before noon Tuesday. “We couldn’t be happier with the progress we have made to manufacture products that meet the needs of style-conscious consumers who expect superior design,� said Ray

On Tuesday, Dec. 9, Prentiss and Alcorn County’s Sheriff Departments collaborated to arrest and charge two residents with burglary charges.

Alicia Young, 44, was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property.

This charge stemmed from a joint investigation between the two counties.

According to a police report, a house located at the edge of Alcorn County was broken into and a number of items was stolen. Investigators developed information leading to a search warrant at Young’s residence at County Road 8380. A trailer load of stolen merchandise was recovered from her home.

Ironically, Young was arrested again after investigators and agents from the Mississippi Department of Corrections went to her home two days after the burglary to arrest her boyfriend.

Young’s boyfriend, Keith Allen Dotson, 28, was already on probation. Dotson had been arrested on Dec. 3

by Alcorn County narcotics officers during a traffic stop on Highway 45. The vehicle was pulled over because it was recognized by a citizen as the one used in the burglary.

Dotson was arrested again for aiding and abetting a fugitive, and his bond has been set for $5,000 while Young’s bond has been set for $10,000 – as of Tuesday.

Development director promotes creative economy

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Allison Winstead wants to light a creative spark under the economy.

The economic development director for the Mississippi Arts Commission spoke about “creative economy” and “creative place-making” in a talk with Corinth Kiwanis on Tuesday and in a workshop at The Alliance.

“Generally what we have thought is, if times are good, then arts and culture kind of pick up.

They start to thrive,” said Winstead.

But some communities have turned that around.

“We started to really target in on some communities where they used arts and cultural programming as the economic driver for revitalization,” she said.

“So, no longer was it the afterthought that happened when things were going on — it was the driver and the catalyst for the actual revitalization of the community.”

The arts commission partnered with the Mississippi Development Authority in 2010 to study what the creative economy

means to Mississippi. It looked at both nonprofit and for-profit enterprises.

The study defined the creative economy as “the sum of all wealth generated by the state’s cultural and creative enterprises, institutions, people and places. It also adds value to traditional economic sectors like manufacturing, agriculture, service and tourism while influencing where people choose to live, work, learn and visit.”

While the components of the creative industry include obvious contribu-

120,000-square-foot warehouse which will replace the Selmer operation’s 40,000-square-foot warehouse. The new space can accommodate additional manufacturing and product parts insourcing.

The new GE Monogram French door built-in re-

frigerator will be available at select retailers in January of 2014 with full availability in September of 2014.

All styles – Custompanel, Professional and European – include a variety of additional features such as:

ture.

She believes engaging the creative mind is essential for the 21st century workforce.

“Innovation is creativ-

ity put into practice,” said Winstead. “If you do not have arts in your schools, you are shortchanging what happens in science and math.”

MDMR comments on coastal drilling leases rules Associated Press

Today is Wednesday, Dec. 18, the 352nd day of 2013. There are 13 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 18, 1865, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery, was declared in effect by Secretary of State William H. Seward.

On this date: In 1787, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

In 1863, in a speech to the Prussian Parliament, Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck declared, “Politics is not an exact science.”

In 1892, Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker” publicly premiered in St. Petersburg, Russia.

In 1912, fossil collector Charles Dawson reported to the Geological Society of London his discovery of supposedly fragmented early human remains at a gravel pit in Piltdown.

(More than four decades later, Piltdown Man was exposed as a hoax.)

In 1915, President Woodrow Wilson, widowed the year before, married Edith Bolling Galt at her Washington home.

In 1940, Adolf Hitler ordered secret preparations for Nazi Germany to invade the Soviet Union.

BILOXI — Mississippi marine resources agency officials said the rules and regulations that the Mississippi Development Authority adopted this year regarding seismic testing in Mississippi waters do not conflict with its own process for managing coastal resources.

The Department of Marine Resources on Tuesday released a letter agency director Jamie Miller sent to the MDA. Under the proposed rules, drilling would be limited to areas seaward of the barrier islands, but closer to shore in the eastern edge of Mississippi waters near the Alabama state line. Experts have said there’s natural gas under the

Mississippi Sound but little oil.

Miller’s staff reviewed the proposed rules.

“The rules and regulations that the Mississippi Development Authority adopted this year regarding seismic testing in Mississippi waters do not conflict with our process for managing coastal resources,” Miller said. “However, to be clear, this agency will examine all proposals that include seismic and/or leasing activity.”

Miller said it is important that MDMR continues to review requests for seismic activity on a case-by-case basis.

“This review is disappointing. The Mississippi Coastal Program clearly states that decisions made by DMR

should encourage preservation of natural and scenic qualities in the coastal area,” said Helen Rose Patterson with the Gulf Restoration Network. “Clearly 4-6 story gas rigs visible from the shoreline and within a mile of the barrier islands do not preserve natural and scenic qualities.”

On Dec. 13, members of the 12 Miles South Coalition delivered a letter signed by more than 40 businesses and organizations to Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, MDA and MDMR opposing oil and gas activities within 12 miles south of the barrier islands.

“It’s absolutely unacceptable for the Mis-

sissippi Development Authority to rush to sell off Mississippi’s mineral assets without looking at how oil and gas development will impact coastal tourism,” said Patterson.

“Business and tourism leaders are clearly concerned about how gas rigs on the horizon will impact their bottom line.”

MDA does not have jurisdiction over drilling. It is limited to issuing permits for seismic surveying and lease sales for the offshore blocks designated by the Legislature for mineral exploration.

The authority contends offshore drilling and exploration will not harm the environment or tourism. The state has an estimated 350 billion

cubic feet of natural gas offshore and stands to receive up to $500 million as it is pumped out, MDA officials said.

Casino operators and other business leaders gave up their protests when a 2004 law was written to secure protection for most near-shore water.

The 2004 law limited oil and gas exploration to about 186,000 acres, about 38 percent of Mississippi’s offshore waters. The leas4e areas are confined to sites about a mile south of the barrier islands.

The Sierra Club and the Gulf Restoration Network have filed suit against the drilling rules in Hinds County Chancery Court. A hearing is set for Jan. 6.

“not only because of the historic significance, but also because of our need to be able to tell that story from a Confederate perspective — how they came into town from the north. We don’t have the ability to tell that. You can’t see that view now.”

He said the park service would store some maintenance equipment in the school gym and use the auditorium for educational programs.

Gentry Parker and Shane Casabella reiterated the Christian school’s

desire to expand its space while also launching a new school tentatively called “Second Chances” to reach at-risk youth.

They are also looking at launching a support center for autistic children.

“In Corinth, we don’t have anything there for them,” Casabella said of those with autism. “They are having to go to other cities … Those families in this town, this county and surrounding counties are begging for services.”

He said it will take a collaborative of groups to

make it work financially in one of the former elementary schools.

Philip Verdung, city street commissioner and former building inspector, said any group that moves into the properties will face steep costs.

“Any new occupants that takes these buildings is going to have a long way to go to get caught up on the fire code,” he said. “The other thing is, the continual operational costs are going to be extraordinary compared to a new building.”

The board took no action regarding the school buildings.

The Corinth School District was moving towards sale of the buildings until a reverter clause in the property deeds came to light. Once the buildings are no longer used as a school, they return to city ownership.

The park service and Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission had prior discussions with the school district about acquiring the West Corinth campus.

PROPERTY CONTINUED FROM 1A

“I’m thinking about five years, 25 years down the road. I have no doubt that the park service would take care of that property … I’m in total favor of all three projects we’ve got going on.”

John Bundy, the current superintendent for Shiloh and the Corinth Unit, said adding the property could improve the park service’s interpretive abilities.

“We put quite a value on that land,” he said,

Mr. Speaker’s crocodile tears

BY ERICK ERICKSON Columnist

It is an odd fight. Such a weird little battle over meaningless and known outcomes.

Conservatives, aware because of press reports and congressional leaks, knew what would be in the Paul Ryan-drafted budget plan. The conservative groups released statements in opposition to the plan based on what they had been told. But there was never any doubt about the Ryan plan passing.

After the plan was publicly unveiled by the Republicans at 6 o’clock on a Tuesday night, conservative fears were realized. Those things they knew would be in the plan were, in fact, in the plan. The plan funded Obamacare. The plan raised taxes. The plan broke the sequestration spending limits that, only a month before, Republican leaders had said would never be broken.

Speaker Boehner then did something curious. He held two press conferences wherein he lashed out at conservative groups. He denounced them for making up their minds before the plan was publicly unveiled. Never mind that everyone knew what would be in the plan. Never mind that he only gave the public 36 hours to explore the text of the plan – a violation of a campaign promise to give at least 72 hours of examination. Speaker Boehner’s statement sounded like former Speaker Pelosi claiming we had to pass the Ryan plan to find out what was in the Ryan plan.

Superficially, it is a very odd fight. But Speaker Boehner’s crocodile tears in his attacks and cries against the conservative movement are really about the next fight. Speaker Boehner intends to pursue immigration reform, with an amnesty component. Before he gets there, he needs to shape battle lines.

There are a number of fence sitters on the right. Speaker Boehner needs them on his team. By castigating the conservative movement now and making them the unpopular crowd, the Speaker and Republican leaders intend to draw the fence sitters to them. Once they have done so, they can move on to a primary season where they can fight against the unpopular crowd intent on driving some incumbents from office.

Then the real fight will begin – immigration reform. The Speaker assumes he can marginalize conservatives through primary season, make conservatives unpopular, then push through an amnesty-based immigration reform plan, daring his tenuous coalition to move over to the unpopular kids’ table.

While conservatives and much of the rest of the country are scratching their heads over Speaker John Boehner’s temper tantrums this week, the Speaker is laying the ground work for his legacy – he will be the man who gets immigration reform through the House of Representatives. He is already staffing up on this front.

Rebecca Tallent is the Speaker’s new immigration policy director. Until last week, Ms. Tallent served as the director of immigration policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center. Before that, she worked for Sen. John McCain as his Chief of Staff. Tallent helped Senators McCain and Kennedy formulate their amnesty-based immigration plan in 2007. Before that, she worked for former Rep. Jim Kolbe, an Arizona Republican, helping him with plans to overhaul the American immigration system.

It would be very unusual for Speaker Boehner to bring on Ms. Tallent, given her background, unless he was ready to go forward with immigration reform. Likewise, it would be unusual, given her background, for Ms. Tallent to go work for someone not interested in comprehensive immigration reform.

Speaker Boehner, for all his faults, has been skillfully maneuvering pieces on the chessboard getting ready for this fight. He may have clowned himself with his unusual temper tantrums this week, but it is for a greater good in his mind. Many have speculated this will be his last congressional session as Speaker. Any Speaker would want to go out with a legacy heralded by the media. Immigration would do that for John Boehner.

Fence sitters in the Republican Party should be careful, lest they wind up working against their own goals in the next fight.

ADHD a manufactured epidemic If at any time while reading this article your attention wanders, you may have ADHD. If you pause to check your email sometime during the next three paragraphs, you should consult a doctor. If you fail to read this article all the way to the end, you should get on Adderall, Ritalin or some other drug to treat your condition as soon as possible.

This isn’t quite the standard for diagnosing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, but it’s close. The New York Times ran a long exposé on how the drug industry has stoked the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD that had a revelatory quote from Keith Conners, a doctor who has long advocated for the recognition of the disorder.

Conners called the overdiagnosis of ADHD “a national disaster of dangerous proportions,” telling the Times that the rising number of cases “is a concoction to justify the giving out of medication at unprecedented and unjustifiable levels.”

This isn’t bomb-throwing from an outsider, but a critique from the namesake of the Conners ratings scale widely used to evaluate kids for ADHD. There is no doubt that

ADHD is a legitimate neurological condition that makes kids (and those around Rich them) misLowry erable, that blights their National potential and Review that can be alleviated by prescription stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin. There also is no doubt that diagnosis and treatment of the disorder has run wildly out of control on the promise of an easy pharmaceutical fix to the natural rambunctiousness of childhood.

The 6-year-old boy notoriously suspended from a Colorado elementary school on charges of sexual harassment for the offense of kissing a girl’s hand summarized the matter nicely: “I just have a lot of energy!

I mean 6-year-olds – they have a lot of energy!” No kidding. Our increasing unwillingness to distinguish between run-of-the-mill childishness – which, by definition, is heedless and frustrating at times – and a condition requiring pharmaceutical treatment is at the root of the ADHD epidemic.

According to the forthcoming book “The ADHD Explosion,” 19 percent of high-school-aged males have received a diagnosis.

The numbers differ from state to state. In North Carolina, an astounding 30 percent of boys over age 9 are supposedly suffering from ADHD. Overall, 6 percent of children and adolescents in the United States are on drugs to treat ADHD. It’s a wonder more kids aren’t diagnosed with it, given the overlap between the description of the disorder and failings to which we are all prone. The New York Times points out that the American Psychiatric Association criteria for ADHD include “often has difficulty waiting his or her turn” and “makes careless mistakes,” hardly rare childhood behaviors. Lowering the bar further, drug companies sponsor online quizzes telling people they may have ADHD if they have trouble with things like “remembering appointments” or “getting things in order.”

The drug companies – for whom ADHD is a $9 billiona-year business – target mothers with alluring ads suggesting their children will become little angels through the wonders of risk-

free stimulants. Their kids will get better grades, spend more quality time with the family, remember to take out the trash and shower everyone around them with good cheer. Who wouldn’t want their child thus magically transformed? According to the Times report, the Food and Drug Administration has constantly rebuked the companies for going beyond the evidence in selling visions of childhood Valhalla secured through the right drug.

Undertrained primarycare physicians and worried parents default much too often to the diagnosis of ADHD and to the answer of a prescription. The next frontier is adult ADHD, with the promise of a vast new pharmaceutical market made up of people deprived of ADHD diagnoses when they were children. Some of these diagnoses will be warranted and life-changing, but others will be overreach prompted by vague and dubious symptoms, like inattentive op-ed reading.

Sure, you got to the end of this article. But how about the next one?

A last-minute list of treasures for readers When niece Chelsey was little, I lavished her with Christmas gifts too numerous and fanciful to remember. There were faux-fur coats with Dalmatian spots, diminutive dolls bundled as quintuplets, plastic horses that cost more than the real thing.

She probably doesn’t remember any of that. What she does remember, what she kept, were the books.

Always, there were books.

They were a good investment. At 25, she’s better read than I. Older, wiser, more frugal, now I mostly give all children on my list books. Same policy for adult friends and relatives.

Books are the gifts that run a low profile, often left beneath the crumpled wrap and the dried-up Christmas tree. But in January, when the sexier presents have lost their glitter, the book is a refuge in the cold.

Books last.

A lot of my friends are writers. I’m lucky that way.

So I get books in the mail

often, and when they are good I try to mention them in print. That’s because any Rheta way I can Johnson help the writers’ struggle Columnist feels right.

You already know about the Donna Tartts and the Sue Monk Kidds. There is a reason.

They write wonderful books. And they have publishers with huge advertising budgets.

But there are other talents that get overlooked, a shame for which nobody cries.

So here goes. A year-end, sweep-the-kitchen list of books and other art you might want to consider for the discerning person on your list who knows and appreciates the value of creativity.

From Alabama, Marian Carcache offers an excellent short-story collection called “The Moon and the

Stars.” I laughed so while reading one of the stories that the woman next to me in the dentist office moved over a couple of seats. Gail Langley has a great book for children or adults, “The No Snake in the House Rule.” Both sweet offerings were illustrated by Margee Bright-Ragland, an artist with sass.

From Tennessee, Sue Freeman Culverhouse has written lively literary profiles from her home state.

The book has a cumbersome title – “Tennessee Literary Luminaries: From Cormac McCarthy to Robert Penn Warren” – but a user-friendly approach to learning more about a mighty impressive roster.

From Mississippi, my hero Robert Khayat, former Ole Miss chancellor, law professor, professional football player and occasional country singer, has written a memoir. Turns out, he can do anything. “The Education of a Lifetime” is poignant, funny, relevant and, at times, musical, especially

when he writes of his hometown of Moss Point.

Speaking of music, an Alabama bluegrass group called Wiregrass has a new album called “Path to Camden,” foot-tapping traditional fare that will force a music lover of any age to smile.

My former husband, cartoonist Jimmy Johnson, still has a few copies of his amazing collection gleaned from three decades of his comic strip, the best one in the funny papers. The book is “Beaucoup Arlo & Janis,” and if you like the comics or find contemporary life at all amusing you need it.

Finally, journalist Frye Gaillard has written “The Books That Mattered: A Reader’s Memoir,” which will inspire the most reluctant reader to explore the modern classics. Books do matter. And make gifts that fit, delight and last.

Gator for beer trade gets man ticketed MIAMI — Florida wildlife officials say a man tried to trade a live alligator for beer at a Miami convenience store.

State Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino says the man received a citation for illegally capturing and trying to sell the gator.

Pino tells WTVJ-TV that the man trapped the 4-foot-long gator at a nearby park and brought it to the store Dec. 10. When he proposed to trade the animal for a 12-pack of beer, the store clerk called authorities.

Pino says the alligator was “pretty much in good shape.” The animal was released back into the wild.

NY mock trial for ‘The Night Before Christmas’

Judge opts against testimony in case HARRISBURG, Pa. — A judge wants prosecutors and lawyers for three former Penn State administrators to make their case in writing as he considers what to do about claims the defendants’ legal rights were violated.

Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoover ruled Tuesday that the defendants could not call to the stand Cynthia Baldwin, who accompanied the men to grand jury appearances in 2011 and then testified against them.

Baldwin was the university’s top lawyer, and the defendants believe she violated attorneyclient privilege.

Hoover wants the lawyers to submit proposed findings of fact and legal conclusions, followed by oral arguments.

TROY, N.Y. — It’s a controversy whose roots trace back nearly two centuries to a holiday poem first published in an upstate New York newspaper: Who really wrote “A Visit from St. Nicholas”?

This week, a mock trial will be held in a courtroom in Troy, where the now-classic also known as “The Night Before Christmas” was first published anonymously in the Sentinel newspaper on Dec. 23, 1823.

The Daily Gazette of Schenectady reports that Wednesday’s trial will have a prominent local lawyer representing Clement Clark Moore, a wealthy scholar from New York City who’s credited with writing the poem.

Other attorneys will argue the side of Henry Livingston Jr., whose descendants claim the gentleman farmer from the Hudson Valley was the true author.

Actors portraying Moore and Livingston will take the stand during the courtroom showdown.

Official will implement own drug-testing policy ROGERSVILLE, Tenn.

implement his own.

Hawkins County Property Assessor Jeff Thacker told the Kingsport Times-News that he still disagrees with the county policy, but doesn’t want it to end up costing the municipality $17,541.

Becky Brock of the Local Government Insurance Pool told a Hawkins County Commission committee on Friday that the county gets a 5 percent discount on workman’s comp insurance premiums only if all departments comply with the policy.

Thacker told the full County Commission on Monday night that his solution would allow the county to keep the discount. He said the drugtesting police would be in place within three months.

The county’s drugtesting policy says all employees are subject to post-accident drug screenings while employees who are in “safety sensitive” positions are screened before being hired and are subject to random screenings.

“I am not against drug testing, however, I am against the way that it has been implemented in Hawkins County,” Thacker told the commission. “It is part of my job as the assessor of property to operate my office according to the constitutions of the state of Tennessee and the United States of America — to protect not only the public from a possible lawsuit but also the rights of the employees who work for the assessor’s office.

To my knowledge, three months has been given by the Safety Committee to address this issue in each office’s personnel policy.

Group proposes changes in criminal justice JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers are being asked to make changes to the criminal justice system in 2014, with the goal of reducing the prisons budget.

Twenty-one judges, prosecutors and other elected officials spent months analyzing sentencing practices and the prison system.

The group unanimously adopted recommendations Tuesday, and those are being sent to the Legislature.

Any changes in law must be made by the Legislature, which starts meeting in January.

One recommendation is to guarantee that nonviolent offenders serve at least 25 percent and violent offenders serve at least 50 percent of their sentences.

Another is to reduce the use of imprisonment for low-level drug possession offenders, with more severe punishment focused on those who sell drugs.

Out of the Furnace is dramatic, sad story Out of the Furnace, R, ***, Christain Bale, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, Zoe Saldana, Sam Shepherd, Forrest Whitaker.

Relativity film. Director Scott Cooper. Length 106 minutes. “Out of the Furnace� was playing in Tupelo, and I have been anxious to see it since I first new it was opening in December.

Browsing through Barnes and Nobel, drinking some coffee, and purchasing a book and some magazines until the movie began, I made by way down the mall and entered the theater. Not very often does this happen, but I was the only person in the theater.

This scenario suits me just fine, because sometimes the audience likes

to tell someone by them what is happening.

As if their friend is Terry not watchBurns ing the m o v i e .

Movie Critic I have moved several times when I sit close to someone who starts narrating the movie. Fortunately, I did not have to worry about commentary at this movie.

The movie was a very dark, dramatic, and sad story. However, the acting was very creative, and the story kept the one person in the audience interested in what was going to take place.

I believe this is enough about the situation of the

only person in the theater. Now let us get to the story.

The film takes places in the Northeast region of the United States.

The area has a steel mill where most everyone believes in working. Rodney Baze (Casey Affleck) joins the armed services and serves in the Iraq war.

The war changed him for the worse. As Russell Baze (Christain Bale) says, “There is nothing wrong with working for a living.� Rodney does not want to work at the mill.

My family worked as a blue collar working family. They were proud of what they did, and worked diligently everyday to support their families.

There is nothing wrong with wanting more than that, but there is nothing

wrong with working in a blue collar environment.

It is something to be proud of when people work and take care of their families – work is something we all should do whether it is blue collar, white collar, or sitting behind a desk.

The film takes place somewhere in the time period of 2007-2008. As the movie opens, the audience meets Harlan DeGroat (Woody Harrelson) who is a very dangerous and angry man. He is sitting in a car at a Drive-In movie, and he becomes extremely angry and out of control. It is very obvious he has rage issues.

He lives in a mountain area, and everyone says the people up there are inbred. DeGroat oversees fights which are very bru-

tal. He makes his money betting on fights along with other illegal activities.

This should give the audience an idea of the violence that will occur before this movie ends.

Unfortunately, everything taking place in this movie seems to be depressing. From prison sentences, Iraq War post traumatic stress, and having problems dealing with what happened while at war, couples breaking up, deaths, and money issues. All that takes place becomes extremely heartbreaking.

Rodney Baze (Casey Affleck) spent time in Iraq.

His issues keep him from living a normal life. Gerald Baze (Sam Shepherd) is a relative of Rodney and Russell.

The movie is a strong tough story about life with a lot of tragedy. The bad luck that the Baze family faces is very depressing. “Out of the Furnace� is not a feel good film, but if the audience sticks around long enough, the bad guy just might get a surprise he does not want but definitely deserves.

Terry Burns is technology coordinator for the McNairy County School System. A life-long movie buff, he can be contacted by email at burns984@ bellsouth.net.

Why do lottery players think they can defy odds?

BY SHARON COHEN Associated Press

It's the ultimate fantasy: Walk into a store, plunk down a dollar, and with nothing but luck — really extraordinary luck — you win a giant lottery.

Suddenly, you're rich as a sultan with enough money to buy an NBA team or your own island.

The odds of that happening, of course, are astronomical. But tell that to the optimists and dreamers across the country who lined up at gas stations, mini-marts and drug stores Monday for the last-minute buying frenzy in the Mega Millions jackpot. The prize soared to $636 million — the second-largest in U.S. history — in advance of Tuesday night's drawing.

So what drives people to play, and what makes them think their $1 investment— among the many, many millions — will bring staggering wealth? “It's the same question as to why do people gamble,� said Stephen Goldbart, author of “Affluence Intelligence� and

co-director of the Money, Meaning & Choices Institute in California. “It's a desire to improve your life in a way that's driven by fantasy. ... The bigger the fantasy, the tastier it gets.�

In a piece called “Lottery-itis!,� Goldbart and co-author Joan DiFuria wrote on their blog last year on the Psychology Today website that in times of economic stress, playing the lottery is a way of coping with financial anxieties and uncertainty. “We may seek a magic pill to make us feel better,� they wrote. “Ah yes, buy a lottery ticket. Feel again like you did when you were a child, having hope that a better day will come, that some big thing will happen that will make everything right, set the course on track. “ The Mega Millions jackpot is just $20 million short of the $656 million U.S. record set in a March 2012 drawing.

The new huge prize stems from a major game revamp in October that

dramatically reduced the odds of winning. If no one wins Tuesday night and the jackpot rolls over past the next drawing scheduled Friday, it will reach $1 billion, according to Paula Otto, executive director of the Virginia Lottery and Mega Millions' lead director.

Between 65 and 70 percent of roughly 259 million possible number combinations will be in play when the numbers are drawn, Otto says. For the ticket-buying optimists, that's no deterrent. “Even though the odds are against you, it's just the excitement of, 'Hey, I might wake up one day and be a millionaire,'� says Chris Scales, a 31-year-old hot dog vendor in downtown Nashville, Tenn., who brings in about $35,000 a year “if I really hustle.� He usually reserves his lottery playing for jackpots of at least $40 million.

The incredibly remote odds don't really sink in for people, says George Loewenstein, a professor of economics and psychology at Carnegie Mel-

lon University who has researched the motives underlying lottery ticket purchases. “People don't really understand probabilities at all,� he says. “Once you have a bunch of zeroes, it doesn't matter how many you have — one in 10,000, one in a million or one in a billion. ... People do understand the meaning of the word 'largest.' They overact to one dimension and underreact to the other.�

They also cling to a more romantic notion: Amazing things happen to others, so why not for me? “When people are desperately sick, there's always a part of the brain that thinks there will be a miracle cure,� Loewenstein says. “If you want something to be true, your brain is awfully good at figuring out reasons, magical ones, that there's a good likelihood that it is true. The desire to win does drive a certain kind of frenzied optimism.�

That frenzy can grow during the holiday season, when financial hardships

Cat-mouse game might explain how felines got tame

BY MALCOLM RITTER Associated Press

NEW YORK — A cat-andmouse game played out in a Chinese village some 5,300 years ago is helping scientists understand how wild felines transformed into the tame pets we know today.

In fact, it was the cat's appetite that started it down the path to domestication, scientists believe. The grain stored by ancient farmers

was a magnet for rodents.

And that drew wild cats into villages to hunt the little critters. Over time, wild cats adapted to village life and became tamer around their human hosts.

That's the leading theory, anyway, for how wild cats long ago were transformed and became ancestors of today's house cats. That happened in the Middle East, rather than China.

WHAT:

playing. “It's some version of “What's the harm? I wouldn't want to be the idiot who didn't play the Mega Millions. What if I was the winner?'� Risen says. “It's a better safethan-sorry philosophy: 'I'd better buy a lottery ticket just in case I was going to the winner.'�

Kathy Malzewski, a 67-year-old retiree from Milwaukee, never buys Mega Million tickets. But while she was in a grocery store Monday, buying scratch-off tickets as stocking stuffers, she decided on a whim to buy a single ticket because of the enormous jackpot. “I'd go into a nice retirement community myself, but I'd be generous,� she said softly. “I'd help Habitat for Humanity, help the homeless, give a lot to charity.�

Malzewski also said she'd travel around the United States. She saw the ocean for the first time in May and recently visited the Grand Canyon.

She'd like to go to New York or Florida's Everglades as well.

The first evidence of domesticated cats comes much later, in Egyptian artwork from about 4,000 years ago.

Dogs of the Dow The 10 “Dogs of the Dow” are poised to beat the Dow Jones industrial average g for a fourth straight year. They’ve produced an average total return of 30.4 percent compared with 24.2 percent for the Dow. That is skewed by the 97.3 percent return of Hewlett-Packard, which was removed from the Dow in September.

Without HP, the Dogs trail the Dow at percent.

22.9 p ercent.

MARKET SUMMARY G

Stimulus update?

Holiday season bellwether

Wall Street has been watching the Federal Reserve for any update on the central bank’s economic stimulus efforts.

That could come today, when the Fed is expected to release a policy statement and projections for the economy following the conclusion of a two-day meeting.

Investors will be listening for clues as to when the Fed will dial back its $85 billion in monthly bond-buying.

The purchases have helped boost the stock market this year.

Investors will get a window into the holiday shopping season today when FedEx reports its fiscal second-quarter results.

Many goods bought online are shipped via FedEx, giving the shipping company a good perspective on holiday demand. The company has seen a shift from delivery in one to three days to cheaper, slower service. Meanwhile, FedEx has said it will raise rates next year, following similar price hikes by competitors UPS and DHL.

Husband on gender journey wants his wife to go along DEAR ABBY: A couple of years ago, my husband informed me that he likes to dress in women’s clothing. Since then he has read books, is seeing a counselor, and the reality is, he is transgender. He now wears his hair long and has long fingernails.

I have tried to be understanding and have gone places with him when he is dressed as a woman. He has met other transgender people who have either made the full transition or are content without it. I allow my husband time with these new friends without me. I did feel weird that he was clothes shopping and going to movies with his new friends.

I have reconciled with these activities and I’m OK with them so far. But I have told him that if he decides to change his gender to female, I will not be able to be married to him. He’s on hormones at the moment and has told me he plans to start testosterone blockers.

I love him, Abby, but NOT the woman side of him. Am I unreasonable to put a boundary on my marriage? He thinks if he slowly eases me into the idea that it will be OK. He says I am his “world” and I should love him no matter what gender he is. Am I being selfish? – SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR SOMEWHERE: You appear to be a loving and accepting wife. You may be your hus-

band’s world, but his world is changing – and along with it, so is yours. It is not selfish to take care of Abigail yourself. You not enter Van Buren did your marriage to be partDear Abby nered with another woman, and you should not feel guilty remaining with one if it’s not what you want. Some spouses stay together; others just can’t.

If you haven’t heard of the Straight Spouse Network, it is a confidential support network of current or former heterosexual spouses or partners of gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender mates. It was founded in 1991, and its mission is to help straight spouses or partners cope with coming-out issues, and help mixed-orientation couples and their children build bridges of understanding. To learn more about it and find a support group near you, visit www.straightspouse.org.

DEAR ABBY: I have always had an extremely close relationship with my little sister. Last year, I graduated from high school and left for university. It was hard for both of us. My college is an hour away from where my family lives, so even though I live on campus,

I try to come home whenever I can to visit on weekends.

Lately it seems like my little sister has emotionally distanced herself from me. She doesn’t confide in me anymore, shows little interest in my life, and it has gotten to the point where she barely acknowledges me in public. I have tried talking to her and telling her how much it hurts me, but she tells me I’m overreacting and to stop being stupid.

My mom says she does this with everyone and that this is typical for a 14-year-old teenager, but it breaks my heart. Is this just a phase I have to learn to deal with and accept? What should I do? – SAD BIG SISTER IN SWITZERLAND DEAR BIG SISTER: Your sister is growing up, and part of that process means becoming an individual. Right now she is trying to figure out who she is, apart from the family she loves – including you. I’m sure she isn’t intentionally trying to hurt your feelings. Because you were so close, she may have felt abandoned when you left for college.

Your mother is right about this.

Let your sister evolve. She’ll be back. Accept it for now.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

While waiting for sea monkeys to grow or for a parent to assemble a complicated toy, a child learns patience. If young children can learn not to expect immediate results, so can that childish person in your life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Of course people should take care of themselves. But you’re willing to go the extra mile to take care of others -- and not just when they are sick or weary, but any old time at all. It’s part of how you show your love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ll get plenty accomplished because you thrive in the very atmosphere others fear. You’re fine with being alone, and you’re not afraid of silence, either. In fact, you prefer it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

When you look for opportunities, you’re not seeking a free handout or benefit. Instead, you’re looking for a chance to match your skills with another person’s

needs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be dealing with people of all ages.

It can be difficult to keep everyone’s developmental stage in mind, but try to remember not to treat older people like children or children like older people.

Sometimes taking your grievances directly to the source is not the best idea. Give it some time. You’ll feel differently tomorrow, and Friday will change your

stance yet again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your creativity is flowing even stronger than usual. Consider using it to surprise the one you love. You’ll thrill to the happy, excited response your efforts earn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Friends who don’t take an interest when you speak of your hopes and dreams aren’t really friends at all. Rather, they are people who conveniently fit into your current lifestyle.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Go off script. If you make a scripted inquiry, you’ll get an insincere response. Say what you really want to express, and ask what you really want to know.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s no need to test a person’s loyalty; just assume they are loyal and be loyal in return.

Know that everyone is trying to do what’s best. Stay focused on the things that will improve your corner of the scene.

Daily Corinthian • Wednesday, December 18, 2013 • 11A

David Pearson, Junior Johnson, the late Buck Baker and the late Dale Earnhardt all have something in common besides being members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

They all won races in the NASCAR division now known as Sprint Cup in a car numbered 3. Four other members of the Hall — Tim Flock, Cotton Owens, Fireball Roberts and Cale Yarborough — also drove cars numbered 3 in NASCAR’s elite division.

All told, the No. 3 has had 73 different drivers since Bill Snowden made the debut run, finishing fifth at Occoneechee Speedway in Hillsboro, N.C., back in 1949.

Fittingly, it was the third race ever for the circuit now known as Sprint Cup. Legendary driver Dick Rathmann got the first-ever win for No. 3 at Oakland, Calif., in 1954. He wound up winning a total of three, with victories at North Wilkesboro, N.C., and at Santa Fe Speedway in Willow Springs, Ill. They were his final three NASCAR victories.

David Pearson got the first of his 105 Cup victories in a No. 3 Pontiac owned by Ray Fox, and Junior Johnson won nine times in cars numbered 3.

But since the start of the 1976 season, the No. 3 has belonged to Richard Childress, who drove the car himself until midway through the 1981 season when Earnhardt took the wheel for the final 11 races. Earnhardt left to drive for Bud Moore at the end of that season, and Ricky Rudd took over in 1982 and delivered Childress’ No. 3 its first win at Riverside, Calif., in 1983.

Earnhardt returned to Childress and the No. 3 for the start of the 1984 season, and got the first of his 67 wins in the car at Talladega in the 19th race of that season. He had won six championships in the No. 3, plus another for Rod Osterlund in a No. 2 Chevrolet, before he died in a crash in the 2001 Daytona 500.

Earnhardt’s final victory in the No. 3, at Talladega in the fall of 2000, gave that car 97 career Cup victories, which is third behind the No. 11, with 203 wins, and the No. 43, with 198.

Since Earnhardt’s death, the No. 3 has not been used in Cup, but it will return next season with Childress’ older grandson, Austin Dillon, driving. Dillon has used the No. 3, with the same shape of the number as his grandfather and Earn-

Legendary No. 3 to return with Austin Dillon at the wheel

Richard Childress, right, announces Austin Dillon’s move to the No. 3 Chevrolet in the Sprint Cup Series. hardt used, since he began racing. It was on his dirt Late Model cars as well as the truck he drove to a Camping World Truck Series championship in 2011 and the Nationwide Series car he drove to a title this year.

The move, officially announced last week, has been common knowledge in NASCAR circles for months, and there has been little adverse reaction to Dillon using the car number most associated with the wildly popular Earnhardt. Most fans and insiders in the sport figured all along that the only appropriate candidates to bring back the No. 3 would be a member of either the Earnhardt or Childress family, and Dillon fits that bill.

Since the earliest races of Dillon’s career, there’s been speculation that one day he’d drive in Cup in a car numbered just like the ones his grandfather and Earnhardt drove. And from the beginning, Childress indicated that he’d be in favor of it.

When Dillon made his Super Late Model debut at a dirt track in Madison, N.C., years ago, Childress was asked about the number.

“I think it has to be a special deal to bring back the No. 3,” he said that night

as he watched the youngster power his way around the clay oval. “And to me, this is a special deal.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. also has expressed support for Dillon and the No. 3 for years.

And as one who is known for his great appreciation of the history of the sport, he understands better than most what car numbers mean in the entire history of NASCAR. “The number is more of a bank that you just deposit history into,” Earnhardt Jr. once said. “It doesn’t really belong to any individual.”

For his rookie Cup campaign, Dillon will have veteran crew chief Gil Martin, who most recently worked with Kevin Harvick at Richard Childress Racing. Sponsorship will come from Dow and General Mills.

Dillon said he’s ready for the challenges that come with racing in Cup and is proud to be making the move.

“To get the opportunity to race in the Sprint Cup Series doesn’t come around very often,” he said. “To be able to compete in Cup and race for wins and championships is going to be awesome.

“I’m going to give it my all every time out.”

NASCAR announces several promotions in key positions for 2014

talented people he has put in place to achieve that vision,” Dewar said in a release announcing his hiring. “I have great passion for racing and I look forward to adding my experience, ideas and relationships throughout racing to help the team drive NASCAR’s growth and position it for a bright future.”

NASCAR also announced that Steve Phelps, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, has been promoted to executive vice president, and that Steve O’Donnell, senior vice president, racing operations, has been promoted to executive vice president.

NASCAR’s general counsel, Gary Crotty, has been promoted to chief legal officer/general counsel. Mike Helton remains NASCAR president, and as such, is in charge of all racing operations.

NASCAR also announced last week that Jimmy Small will take over as president of Iowa Speedway, which recently was purchased

by NASCAR. Small, 28, has worked for NASCAR for six years, most recently as a business and marketing liaison with teams and drivers in all three national series.

Small also helped manage the implementation of the NASCAR Industry Action Plan, which includes efforts to attract younger fans to the sport.

“I’m honored to be presented with this opportunity to help guide Iowa Speedway in the next chapter of its life,” Small said in a release about his new job. “We will continue fanning the intense passion for motorsports that is prevalent here, and do our best to showcase Iowa Speedway’s fast, exciting short-track racing in creative, fan-friendly ways.”

Sixteen teams participate in test sessions at Charlotte Motor Speedway

‘Salute to the King’ to mark Kinser’s final run for a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship Steve Kinser, the 20-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion and a one-time Sprint Cup driver, announced last week that the 2014 season will be his final run for a championship.

His final tour will be called the “Salute to the King” and begins in February on the short tracks of Florida. Kinser, 59, has 576 career Outlaw A-main victories and drives a car owned by Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart, who as a kid idolized his fellow Indiana racer.

“I never missed an Outlaw show in the area when I was growing up,” Stewart said. “We waited for those nights like they were holidays.

“It was incredible watching Steve race with Sammy (Swindell) and Doug (Wolfgang). He was our guy, being from Indiana, and when he won, it gave us all something to brag about. And he won a lot.

“A few years ago, when we had the chance to get him to drive for [Tony Stewart Racing], it was like a dream come true.

“When we got him on board, my goal was for him to drive for us for the remainder of his career. I’m really excited for him to go out and have a great season. He’s the best ever, and I couldn’t be more proud.”

Kinser, who did not say he is retiring completely from racing, said he’s proud of what he’s been able to do over the years.

“Racing with the Outlaws has been my life for almost 40 years,” he said. “It’s all I’ve known. My family has been around it. I’ve had the pleasure of running up and down the road racing all across this incredible country, and even in Canada, Mexico and Australia, with this series.

“I knew it wasn’t going to last forever. I feel like we have a great team here capable of winning a lot of races and challenging for the championship this year.”

Speedway Benefits program off to strong start Forty-five days after longtime NASCAR promoter H.A. “Humpy” Wheeler announced his Speedway Benefits program for short-track promoters, he’s signed 300 tracks to the program that offers a way for promoters to work together to save money on input costs and attract more sponsorships.

“This proves the idea was sound and greatly needed,” said Trip Wheeler, the 20-year-old son of the company founder who also is working on the program. “We are signing up tracks as fast as our seven-person staff can handle.

You’d never know it, but Humpy is a great paralegal. While we will eventually get to 500 or even 1,000 tracks next year, the attendance our member tracks represent now makes us very appealing to global companies.”

When it comes to NASCAR testing, there’s always strength in numbers. Single-car runs are good for determining how a car will react in qualifying, but to learn about how cars behave in racing conditions takes lots of cars on the track at the same time.

NASCAR got just that last week at Charlotte Motor Speedway, as 30 drivers representing 16 teams participated in a test designed to gather data that will lead to changes in the cars so that there can be more passing and more competitive racing on intermediate tracks, such as Charlotte.

As in tests at Charlotte back in October, various configurations and adjustments were tried. Changes were made to ride heights, splitters, skirts and spoilers. At one point, holes were drilled in key parts in an attempt to come up with an aerodynamic package that allowed cars to run closer to each other and pass each other in race conditions.

Four basic configurations were tested.

“We saw progress today in terms of passing with each of the new configurations,” said Gene Stefanyshyn, NASCAR’s vice president of innovation and racing development. “One of the things that we learned and the reason we’re back here with so many cars is it is different when you have 30 cars or 25 cars out there versus the six [in October]. It was important for us to come back here with a field of cars that we did. It gave us a little bit different view on some of the answers. It’s put us in some different directions. We’ll just continue to work on it.”

While the test is focused on improving competition on 1.5-mile tracks like Charlotte, the data could lead to closer racing on other tracks, Stefanyshyn said.

“We’re using various metrics to look at that, like the first [place]to-fifth time differentials, the time differentials between the 10 fastest laps, those types of things,” he said. “Those are the types of metrics. There’s many more, but that’s just an example.”

Among the ways NASCAR officials evaluated the test was by observing the “test” racing from a fan’s perspective and by asking for input from drivers.

NOTEBOOK

Gene Stefanyshyn, left, vice president of innovation and racing development, and Robin Pemberton, vice president of competition and racing development, discuss the recent test sessions at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

“We have subjective data,” Stefanyshyn said. “We view it with our eye on the Jumbotron [giant TV screen]. We capture that video.

“We have objective data, hard data, which we measure. We put that in. Then we have the views of the people who have the car in their hand. We have to take all that, triangulate it, try to find the alliance and what makes sense.

“It’s not a perfect science, but we try to take all those inputs and utilize them in the triangulation to find the right answer. You will never get 100 percent agreement on everything. So really, you’re kind of looking for the 70 percent answer here that kind of leads you in the right direction.”

Rules for the 2014 Sprint Cup cars are supposed to be released to race teams this week.

Laps led by Johnny Sauter, the fewest of any driver in the top 10 in Truck Series points this season.

But he led series regulars in wins — with three — second only to part-timer Kyle Busch, who had five race victories.

Mosley, Sutton, Carey repeat as AP All-Americans

BY RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

NEW YORK — A tacklemachine linebacker, a tackle-busting running back and one of the most disruptive defensive tackles in the country made return appearances on The Associated Press AllAmerica team.

Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley, Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey and Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton were selected to the first team for the second straight season.

The All-America teams were released Tuesday and selected by a panel of AP college football poll voters.

Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston from Florida State added AllAmerican to his resume after a spectacular redshirt freshman season.

Heisman finalists Andre Williams from Boston

College and Northern Illinois' Jordan Lynch also made the first team. Williams joins Carey in the backfield and Lynch, the dual-threat quarterback, was chosen as an all-purpose player.

Carey, a junior, is second in the nation in rushing after leading last year, but said he thinks he's a better player now.

“I worked hard to improve my speed and strength in the offseason while keeping my speed,” Carey said. “I put on 10 pounds of weight and I think that's helped my durability. I also wanted to be a better blocker away from the ball. Blocking for our quarterback and our receivers is key to our system and it's important that I do my part even when I'm not carrying the ball.”

Carey and Williams are set to compete on the same field this bowl sea-

son when Arizona and Boston College meet in the Advocare V100 Bowl in Shreveport, La., on Dec. 31. It will mark the first time since the 1977 Rose Bowl that two players selected first-team AP All-America at running back then faced off in a bowl. That game featured Michigan's Rob Lytle and Southern California's Ricky Bell.

Mosley, a senior, was the leading tackler for a defense that ranked fifth in the country in yards allowed per game. Sutton, a senior, was named Pac-12 defensive player of the year for the season straight season.

Winston, a landslide Heisman winner last week, is joined on the first team by three Florida State teammates — center Bryan Stork, kicker Roberto Aguayo and cornerback Lamarcus Joyner — to give the top-ranked

Seminoles more than any other school.

Florida State defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan made the second team, along with offensive tackle Cameron Erving. The Seminoles had six players on the three teams, the most of any school.

No. 2 Auburn, which plays Florida State on Jan. 6 in the BCS championship game in Pasadena, Calif., placed Heisman finalists Tre' Mason on the second team at running back and offensive lineman Reese Dismukes and Gregory Robinson on the third team.

Texas A&M Heisman finalist Johnny Manziel, last year's Heisman winner and All-American quarterback, made the second team. Alabama's AJ McCarron, another Heisman finalist, is the third-team quarterback for the second consecutive season.

The first-team receivers are Oregon State's Brandin Cooks, who leads the nation in yards receiving (139.2 per game), and Texas A&M's Mike Evans, who is averaging 20.3 yards a catch.

Texas Tech's Jace Amaro is the first-team tight end. The senior leads all tight ends in catches (98) and yards (1,240).

Joining Stork on the offensive line are Texas A&M tackle Jake Matthews and Alabama tackle Cyrus Kouandjio, as well as Baylor guard Cyril Richardson and Stanford guard David Yankey.

Richardson and Yankey were second-team AllAmericans last season.

Mosley and Sutton are on the first-team defense with Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who won the Nagurski and Bednarik awards as the nation's best defensive player and the Out-

land and Lombardi as the country's best lineman.

Missouri's Michael Sam, the Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year, and Jackson Jeffcoat, the Big 12 defensive player of the year, are the defensive ends. UCLA's Anthony Barr and Ohio State's Ryan Shazier round out the linebackers.

Michigan State's Darqueze Dennard, one of the leaders of the nation's top-ranked defense, is the other cornerback with Joyner. The safeties are Mississippi's Cody Prewitt and Washington State's Deone Bucannon.

Tom Hornsey of Memphis made the first team as the punter.

Florida State helped the Atlantic Coast Conference put six players on the first team, to match the Pac-12 and SEC for the most from any conference.

Dak Prescott emerges as Henderson getting help as Ole Miss nears SEC play Mississippi State’s main QB

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

OXFORD — Marshall Henderson is still taking, and sometimes making, a large chunk of Mississippi’s shots this season.

Coach Andy Kennedy is fine with that arrangement. After all, the 6-foot-2 Henderson’s scoring ability is a huge reason Ole Miss made the NCAA tournament last season for the first time since 2002.

But with Henderson off to a relatively slow start, averaging 17.9 points per game on just 35.3 percent shooting, others have stepped up as the Rebels (7-2) inch closer to Southeastern Conference play. Ole Miss hosts Louisiana-Monroe (3-2) on Wednesday.

Jarvis Summers has taken the biggest step forward, averaging 16.6 points per game. The 6-foot-3 junior has been much more aggressive looking for his shot and has also been efficient, shooting 53.4 percent from the field, including 54.5 percent from 3-point range.

He’s also the team’s point guard, leading the Rebels with more than three assists per game.

“Jarvis Summers continues to be our MVP, making big plays for us throughout the course of the game,” Kennedy said.

He led the Rebels with 25 points in a 72-63 victory over Middle Tennessee State on Saturday and had 28 earlier this year against Troy. His last-second 3-pointer in regulation forced overtime against then-No. 13 Oregon, though the Rebels eventually lost 115105.

Henderson expected Summers’ emergence this season.

“Jarvis is the point guard, a leader, and he shows up every day with the same mindset,” Henderson said. “You always know what you’re getting with Jarvis Summers.

That’s a quality that we want everyone on our team to have.”

Sophomore Derrick Millinghaus has also been impressive, averaging nearly 13 points per game.

That’s more than double his 5.3 points per game average from a year ago.

Demarco Cox and Aaron Jones are providing solid post defense, filling much of the void left by the departures of seniors Murphy Holloway and

Reggie Buckner.

But the pair’s offensive production has been spotty. Kennedy says Jones and Cox aren’t natural scorers, but the guards must find ways to get them involved.

“There’s nobody that we’re going to pick up on the waiver wire,” Kennedy said. “We’ve got to continue to adjust, give them some angles. We’ve got to develop some confidence and that’s difficult to do when you’re missing point blank shots.”

It’s certainly a work in progress, but there’s been enough improvement that the Rebels have survived Henderson’s erratic start to the season.

He was suspended for the opener against Troy — and will also miss the team’s first two SEC games in January — because of poor on-and offthe-court behavior last season.

But his behavior has been fine so far this season. The problem is his shot selection.

Henderson has nearly limitless range on his jumper, but Kennedy says that can sometimes lead to overconfidence.

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

STARKVILLE — Dak Prescott already has a favored place in Mississippi State’s football history. Now he’s also the unquestioned starter at quarterback.

The sophomore’s name was etched in program lore after he came off the bench in the fourth quarter — with a hurt shoulder — and led Mississippi State to a 17-10 overtime win over Mississippi in the Egg Bowl on Nov. 28.

Now Prescott says the nerve injury in his nonthrowing arm has healed and he’s ready to lead the Bulldogs (6-6) against Rice (10-3) in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31.

Prescott and senior Tyler Russell split most of the playing time this season, but Russell is out for the Liberty Bowl after having surgery to repair a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder.

Now it’s Prescott’s show. He’s focused on helping the Bulldogs secure a winning record for the fourth straight season.

“We know how good we can be and we’re not going to take anything for granted,” Prescott said.

“We’re just going to go out there, make each other better and push each other.”

Prescott has had a breakout season when healthy, throwing for 1,657 yards and seven touchdowns while also running for 751 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Those numbers are even more impressive considering it’s been a tough few months for Prescott personally. His mother, Peggy, died in November after a yearlong battle with cancer.

The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Prescott has always seemed a better fit for Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen’s offensive playbook than Russell, who was an excellent pocket passer but less comfortable running.

Mullen rose to coaching prominence as the offensive coordinator at Florida under coach Urban Meyer when Heisman winner Tim Tebow was the quarterback.

Though not nearly as accomplished, Prescott’s dual-threat abilities are much like Tebow’s. And with several young players around Prescott, Mullen is pleased to have the extra practice time before

the Liberty Bowl to see how those pieces might fit together in the coming years.

“We’re a very young football team and I think a lot of people really didn’t expect us to be here,” Mullen said. “I think our guys are happy to be out here playing football.”

A few weeks ago, it didn’t look like Mississippi State would have any sort of postseason.

But the Bulldogs rallied with two straight wins against Arkansas and Ole Miss to end the season.

Now the program will play in a bowl game for the fourth straight season for the first time in school history.

The positive momentum is a much different feel than last season, when the Bulldogs started 7-0 but lost four of five down the stretch. They limped into the Gator Bowl against Northwestern and lost 34-20.

Prescott said finishing this season with positive momentum is the first priority, but he also sometimes catches himself looking around the field and thinking about the possibilities for next season.

Sochi Olympic critics, activists get terrorist treatment by Russia

BY NATALIYA VASILYEVA Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — They are fearless, stubborn and increasingly under siege. Environmentalists, activists and journalists in Sochi have spent years exposing the dark side of Vladimir Putin’s showcase Winter Games — and now they’re paying the price.

In recent months, these campaigners have been detained, put on trial and even barred from going to the beach.

With the Olympics less than two months away, authorities are stepping up the pressure as these men and women refuse to back down in their fight to shed light on what they insist has been the destruction of the environment and a way of life.

In a recent report, Human Rights Watch called local authorities directly responsible for the campaign of harassment against activists in the Krasnodar region, which includes Sochi. Rights groups have lamented Russia’s human rights record for years, but critics say the tactics in Sochi are extreme even by

this country’s notoriously overbearing standards.

“Authorities in the Krasnodar region are harassing the environmentalists and activists who dare to speak critically of them in the context of the preparations for the Olympics in Sochi,” said Yulia Gorbunova, a researcher for Human Rights Watch. As the games approach, she said, “the pressure is increasing.”

Anna Minkova, a spokeswoman for the Krasnodar government, said that authorities were “not aware of the instances of the harassment of civil activists” that the AP brought forward. She added that the activities of law enforcement agencies are not under the regional administration’s authority. Local law enforcement agencies, which report to federal security bodies, declined repeated requests from AP to comment both on the overall alleged clampdown and specific claims of harassment.

Here are some of the local activists and journalists at the front lines of a struggle to reveal corrup-

tion and environmental damage in the run-up to Russia’s $51 billion Winter Olympics:

SVETLANA KRAVCHENKO When Kravchenko visited the water company to demand answers about a supply cut in Sochi, she suddenly found herself surrounded by security guards.

The veteran reporter pushed her way out of the office and into the street, as the guards clutched at her clothes and tore off a sleeve. The next day, Kravchenko was charged with beating up one of the guards who had towered over her. A medical examination documented a 0.3 millimeter (microscopic) scratch on his ear. Six months later Kravchenko was found guilty and fined 10,000 rubles ($300).

Over the years, Kravchenko has documented environmental travesties in Sochi and the heavy-handed tactics of local officials as a reporter for the Caucasian Knot, a major Russian web publication that cov-

ers the region. She’s been insulted and threatened before. But nothing prepared her for the shock of being put on trial for purportedly beating up a security guard. Kravchenko said the water supply episode was merely a pretext for authorities to “take revenge against a difficult journalist.” The water company and Sochi judicial authorities did not return requests for comment.

“Any sane person would ask: How can you beat up a person using your hands and feet ... and he would only get a scratch inside his ear?” Kravchenko said.

“It’s a blatant lie.”

SUREN GAZARYAN For Gazaryan, a zoologist, it all started with a fence.

Gazaryan had been mobilizing his fellow activists to call attention to what he said was the property of Gov. Alexander Tkachev — popularly known by his nickname “Sanya” — situated in a national forest where construction is forbidden. Last year, he was found guilty of “deliberate

destruction of property” and handed a three-year suspended prison sentence. The crime: spraypainting “Sanya is a thief” on the fence.

Gazaryan said it didn’t matter that it was not him but his friends who had spray-painted the words.

Prosecutors went after him and his comrade-inarms Yevgeny Vitishko, another fierce critic of the games’ environmental record. “They had to punish us,” Gazaryan said.

After another outing to inspect what was rumored to be a secret mansion belonging to Putin, Gazazyan, already on probation, found himself facing charges of making death threats against a security guard. Two other guards were listed as witnesses.

“There were those three bulky guys with truncheons,” said Gazaryan, “and now they were saying I was threatening him.”

Gazaryan feared that his suspended sentence would be converted into real prison time, and fled.

He was granted political asylum in Estonia this year.

His friend Vitishko still

lives in the Sochi area. His probation officer recently petitioned the court to replace his suspended sentence with a prison term.

The hearing is on Thursday.

NATALYA KALINOVSKAYA Kalinovskaya became an activist when she realized that Olympic construction was going to go ahead without any discussion with residents.

“Nobody showed us the bid book, we had no idea what was going to happen to us,” she said.

“The first projects we saw were brought by foreign media because there was no other place to find out about it. We saw that our cemetery, which is now surrounded by the Olympic venues, was not on the map. I’m sorry but my grandfather lies there, and it’s a lie to say that this area is just an open field.”

Kalinovskaya and her neighbors have written dozens of petitions and organized rallies to protest what they say was illegal construction on their local beach.

Roberts, Thornton agree with Yankees

BY RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Making a pair of low-cost deals to fill holes in their roster, the New York Yankees agreed to a $2 million, one-year contract with second baseman Brian Roberts and a $7 million, two-year deal with left-hander Matt Thornton.

The deals are contingent on the players passing physicals, a person familiar with the agreements told The Associated Press on Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the contracts were not final.

Roberts is among the options at second base to replace Robinson Cano, who left the Yankees for a $240 million, 10-year contract with Seattle. Kelly Johnson, signed to a $3 million deal, is another possibility.

An All-Star in 2005 and 2007, the 36-year-old Roberts had spent his entire 13-year major league career with Baltimore. He has not played a full season since 2009 because of injuries.

Roberts signed a $48 million, five-year contract before the 2009 season, then hit .283 with 16 homers, 79 RBIs and a big league-high 56 doubles.

His injury problems started the following year, when he missed most of spring training with a herniated disk in his back, then strained an abdominal muscle in the fourth game of the season while stealing second base against Toronto on April 9.

Roberts came down with pneumonia and didn’t return until July 23.

Then he missed the final six games of the season because of a concussion sustained he knocked himself on the batting helmet with his bat after striking out in the ninth inning at Tampa Bay that Sept. 27.

Rex begonias can bring Christmas cheer indoors As much as I like decorating with colorful poinsettias during the Christmas season, I’m always on the lookout for nontraditional plants that can add interest and be just as effective in spreading holiday cheer.

One of the most unusual plants I’ve seen is miniature Gary cherry toBachman mato, in full fruit, Southern displayed Gardening for holiday sales.

While I didn’t run out and buy one of those, a plant I have admired for many years for the shady summer garden is Rex begonia.

In the winter, Rex Begonias are primarily indoor plants known for their colorful and textured foliage. They get their name from the Latin word for king, and the foliage certainly looks royal. The coarse-textured leaves are colorful with streaks and splashes of silver, cream and burgundy.

This group of plants has the potential to move from being a beautiful container plant to a cornerstone of Christmas decorations.

I find that the symmetry of the spiraling shape of the leaves adds to the beauty of Rex begonia.

This spiral is repeated in nature from the shells of the nautilus to great galaxies, and it is very pleasing shape.

The variety Hilo Holiday is one of my first

Poinsettias are not the only plants to bring rich red colors into the house. Consider using Carneval elatior begonia this Christmas.

big on texture. Its medium-green leaves have a pebbled and quilted surface that is almost rough

to the touch. They have chocolate brown highlights on the center veins.

Rex begonias are easy to propagate using leaf cuttings. Place a leaf with the base side down in a container of moist potting media. Put a resealable baggie over the container, and place it in indirect light. New plants will form at the leaf base.

The spiraling colors of Rex begonia in an endless number of combinations can liven up any holiday occasion.

Another begonia that is perfect for the indoor holiday season is the elatior

begonia. Typically considered a summer annual, these plants are available year-round from florists and greenhouses. There are selections that produce single and double flowers in a variety of colors.

Elatior begonias need bright light for the best bloom. Place them in a south-facing window that receives indirect light; direct exposure results in “burned” leaves and few flowers. Like poinsettias, these plants are perfectly happy at normal room temperatures when kept away from heating ducts and drafts near entry doors.

Begonias need higher humidity than most indoor plants. An easy solution is to place them on a tray filled with decorative pebbles or gravel and water. Water evaporating from the surface of the pebbles creates a microclimate that provides the needed humidity.

Though these plants like humidity, they do not like being overwatered.

Make sure the potting media is dry to the touch before watering. Keep soil nutrition at the correct levels by applying liquid African violet fertilizer diluted to half strength twice a month.

So consider finishing out your Christmas decorating with a nontraditional but festive begonia.

Ancient Stonehenge gets modern-day revamp

BY JILL LAWLESS Associated Press

STONEHENGE, England — After thousands of years, Stonehenge has had a makeover. But visitors may initially feel something is missing: the prehistoric monument itself.

Tourists now arrive at a gleaming new timber-andglass visitor center some 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) from Stonehenge. The famous stone circle tucked into the rolling green landscape is nowhere to be seen.

It’s a teasing introduction to the site, where new facilities and landscaping are designed to “restore the dignity” of Stonehenge, and transform the way more than 1 million visitors a year see it.

Simon Thurley, who heads governing body English Heritage, said visitors will now be able to

see the stones “free from the clutter and rubbish” that have been built up around them.

On Tuesday, journalists and English Heritage members were given a preview of the new center, which houses a 360-degree Cineramastyle “virtual tour” of the monument, along with an extensive exhibition about the Neolithic Britons who built Stonehenge starting 5,000 years ago.

When the building opens to the public on today, workers will dismantle the old ticket office and other nondescript buildings clustered beside the monument. A busy road that ferried thousands of cars a day past the stones is being closed and grassed over.

The idea is to return Stonehenge, 80 miles (130 kilometers) southwest of London, to its rural land-

scape. Visitors will be bussed to the stones on a special shuttle. Or they can walk, exploring paths and an ancient processional approach route that for years has been cut in half by asphalt.

Even the new visitor building — two single-story blocks, one of glass and one of timber, under an undulating roof — is designed to fit unobtrusively into the landscape.

“If people don’t remember it when they go home, but they remember the monument, that won’t be a bad thing,” said architect Stephen Quinlan.

Inside, the exhibition seeks to show the monument’s prehistoric creators to be sophisticated people, who raised pigs and hunted, gathered from far and wide for feasts — and built this remarkable, mysterious monument.

The face of one

5,000-year-old resident has been reconstructed

by Oscar Nilsson, a forensic sculptor. He had good teeth and handsome features, in a shaggy, prehistoric kind of way.

“The women here at English Heritage are very fond of him,” Nilsson said.

All this comes at a price.

The 27 million pound ($44 million) renovation was funded partly through donations and partly through a levy on profits of Britain’s national lottery.

The admission charge has almost doubled, from 8 pounds ($13) to 14.90 pounds ($24) for an adult.

There is the requisite modern cafeteria and a large gift shop, where visitors can buy Stonehenge jam, chocolate, baseball caps, mouse pads and fridge magnets, as well as “Stonehenge Rocks” Tshirts.

The commercialism is

isolated from the monument, which retains its eternal mystery.

Stonehenge was built in three phases between 3000 B.C. and 1600 B.C. Archaeologists agree it was a temple — but to what gods, and how it was used, remains unclear.

Recent research suggests the site may have started as a giant burial ground for elite families.

Archaeologists have found the remains of dozens of cremated bodies from about 3000 B.C. whose location was marked by bluestones.

Stones for the second Stonehenge, much of which still stands, were brought from up to 175 miles (280 kilometers) away. Construction continued for centuries, and the site may have been a place for Druid worship, a giant astronomical calendar or a place of healing.

Evidence suggests large crowds gathered at Stonehenge for the summer and winter solstices, a tradition that continues today. Thousands of selfstyled Druids, pagans and New Age revelers are due to gather for the winter solstice on Saturday, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

Senior curator Sara Lunt said there are still major discoveries to be made — more than half the site remains unexcavated. But the original purpose of Stonehenge may remain a mystery.

“We know there was a big idea” behind Stonehenge and other stone circles built across the British Isles in the Neolithic period, she said. But “what the spiritual dimension of this idea is — that is the key, and that is what we can’t get.”

“We still have no way of replicating a Neolithic mind. We don’t have the Neolithic voice in our ear.

“We don’t know the heart of it — and that’s a good thing. That gives people work to do.”

Review: Magical, lonely love of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Herâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Nirvana and Kiss

BY JESSICA HERNDON Associated Press

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; How essential are physical and emotional connections when falling in love?

What would you miss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; looking into someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, caressing them, tasting them? In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her,â&#x20AC;? Spike Jonzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s futuristic exploration of a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with his computer, the filmmaker surveys human disjunction.

Joaquin Phoenix is Theodore, a loner struggling to cope with his unwanted divorce from neuroscientist Catherine (a comely, sullen Rooney Mara). Theodore has become guarded, but his work requires an outpouring of emotions as he pens tender, personal letters for others at beautifulhandwrittenletters.com.

After seeing an ad for an artificial intelligence operating system, Theodore purchases one and finds his new OS is voiced by a dame with a sultry, whiskey-stained tone named Samantha (a witty, relaxed Scarlett Johansson, who is never seen on-camera).

Samantha is at Theodoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beck and call. Communicating by way of an earpiece and a small hand-held device, she keeps him on sched-

ule and encourages him to get back out there and go on a blind date. His date (Olivia Wilde) critiques his kissing and scolds him for refusing to indulge in the idea of a relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in a place where I can commit right nowâ&#x20AC;? becomes one of his signature lines, even as he becomes smitten with Samantha.

But eventually Theodore and Samantha, who is eager to please and has the ability to grow through her experiences, fall for each other. Jonze effectively manages to capture real intimacy as the couple greet each other in the morning and say goodnight. Theodore takes Samantha on a double date with his co-worker, Paul (played by the ever-hilarious Chris Pratt), and Samantha composes piano melodies to emphasize their experiences. (The sound of the film is engineered by indie rockers Arcade Fire and violinist Owen Pallett.)

Jonze has become known for creating bewildering worlds, from his work on the maniacal Oscar-nominated â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being John Malkovich,â&#x20AC;? his layered â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adaptationâ&#x20AC;? and the heart-rending â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where the Wild Things Are.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also crafted arresting

videos for inventive artists like Bjork and Kanye West, as well as a collection of short films, commercials and documentaries. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;Herâ&#x20AC;? is the first feature film heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penned solo and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been so ingenious.

In a dark theater, surrounded by the wondrous world Jonze creates in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her,â&#x20AC;? in theaters Friday, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to avoid getting emotional. There is such a somber and supple tone throughout, as Theodore (faultlessly played by a pensive and vulnerable Phoenix) surrenders to his desperation, finding glimpses of glee weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afforded.

Visually Jonze has built a bold dreamland: a nearfuture Los Angeles awash with primary colors and warm pastels that tickle our childlike senses. Every fella dons high-waisted pants, a fashion choice emphasizing the sign of the times. And for the magnetic cityscapes, the movie was filmed in Los Angeles and China.

Amy Adams delivers a delicate portrayal of Theo-

doreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lovelorn neighbor and best friend, Amy. She supports his decision to date his OS, but thinks anybody who falls in love is a freak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a form of socially acceptable insanity,â&#x20AC;? she proclaims.

But Theodoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-wife thinks his latest turn at love is crazy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You always wanted to have a wife without actually dealing with anything real,â&#x20AC;? she tells him.

Thus, the lingering questions are brought to the forefront: To what lengths would we go to avoid certain truths? And could virtual affairs be the inevitable evolution of relationships in our techblooming society?

The notion of unconventional romanticism is certainly enchanting, but even computer love can be fleeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her,â&#x20AC;? a Warner Bros. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for â&#x20AC;&#x153;language, sexual content and brief graphic nudity.â&#x20AC;?

Running time: 126 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

head to Rock Hall

BY MESFIN FEKADU Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nirvana, Kiss and Peter Gabriel will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year.

The Rock Hall announced Tuesday that Hall and Oates, Linda Ronstadt and Cat Stevens also will be inducted April 10 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Artists are eligible for induction 25 years after their first release. Nirvana received a nomination in its first year of eligibility and next year the band will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its debut, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bleach.â&#x20AC;? The induction comes 20 years after frontman Kurt Cobain committed suicide at age 27.

This year also marked first-time nominations for Hall and Oates, Gabriel and Ronstadt. Kiss and Stevens, who have been nominated in the past, made the cut after

being absent from the list for several years.

The Rolling Stonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; managers, Andrew Loog Oldham and Brian Epstein, will receive Ahmet Ertegun awards, a non-performing honor.

Bruce Springsteenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s E Street Band will get the award for musical excellence.

N.W.A., one of the 16 nominees announced in October, did not make the cut.

The iconic rap group includes Dr. Dre, who has launched successful solo albums and is the producer behind Eminem, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar.

More than 700 Rock Hall voters determined the 2014 class.

The 29th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be open to the public.

Tickets go on sale next month.

The event will air on HBO in May.

Mystery man gives ‘Tips For Jesus’

BY VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press

NEW YORK — The $111.05 New York restaurant receipt includes a $1,000 tip and the words “god bless!” scrawled across it.

The handle @tipsforjesus is stamped next to an illegible signature.

In recent weeks, similar tabs have popped up in restaurants from coast to coast and even in Mexico, with tips of as much as $10,000 — all charged to American Express.

On Sunday just after midnight, the mysterious man surfaced again — this time in Fairfield, Conn. He left a $5,000 gratuity on a $112 bill at the Seagrape, an eatery where college kids drop by for cheap beers by the beach.

Tips for Jesus — an Instagram account filled with photos documenting the tips — has more than 54,000 followers. The account displays photos of smiling servers holding

receipts with outlandish gratuities on bills also tallied in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Phoenix and Ann Arbor, Mich.

On Twitter, Tips for Jesus has nearly 3,000 followers but no tweets.

The Instagram feed comes with the tagline, “Doing the Lord’s work, one tip at a time.”

Three Manhattan restaurants were especially blessed the first weekend of December. A waiter in the restaurant of the NoMad Hotel got a $7,000 tip, another at The Smith restaurant was left $3,500, and $1,000 went to Aruj Dhawan, a 25-year-old fashion marketing student and immigrant from India working at Bo’s Kitchen & Bar Room.

Dhawan served three guests who walked in one recent Saturday evening.

Their order — a bourbon, a beer, an appetizer, a pork ragout and a pork chop — amounted to $111.05, plus $1,000 for

“When they left, I saw the tip and I went, ‘Wow!’ I hope one of these days, we’ll find out who he is.”

Micah Olson Crudo bartender the waiter.

When they were gone, “Aruj approached me, handed me the receipt and said, ‘Is this for real?’” said general manager Benjamin Cramer.

Again, before leaving, the tipster had snapped a photo of the waiter with the check and posted it on Instagram.

The tipster also wrote his cellphone number at the bottom of the tab, telling Cramer to call him if American Express had any issues with processing the receipt.

After seeing the amount, Cramer said he understood why the credit card company might be suspicious and he himself was curious. So he called

the number. The man who answered reassured the manager that the tip was real.

The man demanded anonymity, so Cramer did not pursue tracking his identity.

A $1,000 tip also went to a waiter at the Hungry Cat in Los Angeles after three men finished their dinner, said restaurant spokeswoman Jannis Swerman. One of them stamped the check @tipsforjesus.

In another photo, a Phoenix bartender beams looking at his $2,500 tip.

“This middle-aged gentleman came in with a woman, and they sat at the bar,” says Micah Olson, the bartender at a

restaurant called Crudo who served them one of the most expensive whiskeys at $70 per ounce.

“They sat at the bar and had 5 ounces total,” Olson says. “The guy was really cool and bought me two ounces.”

The man asked for the check — $530.67 — and paid with his Amex “Black Card,” an invitation-only charge card issued to affluent clients.

“When they left, I saw the tip and I went, ‘Wow!’” says the 35-yearold bartender. “I hope one of these days, we’ll find out who he is.”

The mysterious stranger apparently knows some Spanish.

A tab dated Dec. 5, 2013, from a resort in Punta Mita, Mexico, is posted on Instagram with the comment, “Muchas gracias Carlos!” — meaning “many thanks” to Carlos Mendez, a grinning young waiter holding a bill for $158.11 with a tip of 13,100 Mexican pesos,

or about $1,000.

One day last week, “I saw him looking so happy, holding the check,” said Benito Robles, a concierge. “I asked him, ‘Why are you smiling?’ and he showed me the tip.”

Mendez went home to his wife and two kids in a nearby village and took some vacation, according to Robles.

Across the land, restaurant servers are posting pleas on Instagram asking the mysterious tipster to visit them.

He’s not the only one with a knack for generosity at the table.

Seth Collins, of Lexington, Ky., has been leaving $500 tips around the country — following his late brother’s instructions.

Before Aaron Collins died last year, he gave his brother a mission: Eat, be merry and leave a giant tip.

Through his family, he’s given away more than 80 tips throughout the U.S.

What happens when parents don’t like to play?

BY LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Silvana Clark spent 10 years as a parks and recreation supervisor for the city of Bellingham, Wash., yet when it came time to raise children, there were certain things she just didn’t love to play.

“When we played Monopoly we were the worst. We actually applauded each other if you could steal money out of the bank without the other person knowing it,” she recalled. “We would say to our daughter, ‘You stole $100. That was so good.

Just don’t do that with your friends.’”

When the younger of her two now-grown daughters was about 8, mom realized she hadn’t experienced the scent of fresh-baked cookies filling their house.

“I just don’t like to bake cookies, so I took a pot of water and I put cinnamon and vanilla in it and I boiled it,” Clark said.

“She came home from school and she goes, ‘Wow, what’s that smell? That smells so good.’

And I said, ‘Well if I were baking cookies, that’s what it would smell like.’”

But there were countless other things Clark and her husband enjoyed, like making homemade Play-Doh, in mom’s case, or pushing the girls on a rope swing that straddled a pond, in dad’s. The couple lived guilt-free about the rest, believing their kids had plenty of quality time with their parents.

When it comes to “play,” parents should not feel honorbound to participate in exactly what their kids want to do, said Clark, who now lives in Seattle and has written a dozen primarily family-focused books.

Like it or not, the bigger question, she said, is whether parents have forgotten how to play altogether in these stressedout, overbooked times, when dropping kids off at classes or other structured activities prevails, along with loads of timeeating homework.

“I’m totally shocked when I’ll do a parenting seminar and I’ll do something as simple as say,

“Your child will know how you are feeling, no matter how much you fake it, so it’s best to create games and activities that you both find fun.”

Rita Eichenstein Developmental psychologist ‘Why don’t you play hide and seek in your house?’ and people look at me and they’ll go, ‘What?

I never thought of playing hide and seek in our house,’” Clark said. “I’m not asking them to construct a model of the Eiffel Tower or anything.”

Quality time, she suggested, doesn’t have to mean a hated board game or endlessly pretending you’re a cat. It can mean a trip to the hardware store, if done with spirit — and even TV, something parents may depend on a little too much

during school breaks.

One weekend ahead of the Tony Awards, her theater-loving family spent an afternoon drawing the New York skyline on a huge length of butcher paper and taped it to the wall.

They taped down red construction paper for a red carpet leading to the TV room, bought sparkling cider and dressed in their fanciest clothes for the broadcast.

“As long as kids have your full attention, it can be as simple as taking the dog for a walk together or getting a bird feeder and reading about how to attract birds,” Clark said.

Parents shouldn’t feel guilty for not liking certain games or a particular type of play, agreed Rita Eichenstein, a developmental psychologist in Los Angeles.

“Your child will know how you are feeling, no matter how much you fake it, so it’s best to create games and activities that you both find fun,” she said.

In addition to developmental benefits for kids, play can

reawaken and relax parts of parents’ brains that help them live more in the moment , where children naturally dwell, Eichenstein said.

When a parent has to suck it up and play something they’re not into, Clark suggests setting a timer for 15 or 20 minutes, or establish a special time of the week that’s “kid choice.”

Motivational coach Darah Zeledon in Plantation Acres, Fla., is the mom of five, ranging from 5 to 12, and acknowledges she has trouble unplugging if the laundry, dishes and spilled cat litter aren’t dealt with.

“It saddens me to be this way because I recognize that this window is short and time is fleeting, and for not much longer will my kids be begging me to play with them,” she said.

She’s honest with her kids about it, though, and works to remain approachable.

Ginsburg: Justices should stay if able to work

BY JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press

RESTON, Va. — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Tuesday that Supreme Court justices should work as long as they can and shouldn’t manipulate their retirement so a likeminded president can appoint their successor.

Some liberals have recently called on the 80-year-old Ginsburg to retire so that President Barack Obama can choose her replacement.

If she stays beyond his term, it would leave open

the possibility that a Republican would name the liberal justice’s successor.

But Ginsburg, the oldest justice on the court, cited Justices William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall as two justices appointed by Democratic presidents who left their replacement to Republican successor presidents. Ginsburg said she supposed many people wanted both men to leave when a Democrat was president, but she noted that neither did.

Brennan was appointed

by Dwight D. Eisenhower and announced his retirement in 1990 at the age of 84 for health reasons.

Marshall retired in 1991 at the age of 82. George H.W. Bush chose David Souter and Clarence Thomas as their respective successors.

Ginsburg made the comments during an event hosted by the Northern Virginia Technology Council. She was responding to a question by moderator and former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson, who served as so-

licitor general from 2001 to 2004 under President George W. Bush. Olson asked whether justices should time their retirements so that a president of the same party that appointed them could choose their successors.

“I think one should stay as long as she can do the job,” Ginsburg said in response.

Ginsburg said the “number one” question a justice should ask is “Can you do the job?”

“Can you think as well?

Can you write with the

same fluency? At my age you take it year by year.

I’m OK this year,” she said, to applause.

Ginsburg has for years been fending off questions about whether she should leave the court, in part brought on by her health. She had colon cancer in 1999, pancreatic cancer in 2009 and also suffered broken ribs more recently. Still, she has not missed any time on the job.

This isn’t the first time Ginsburg has suggested the party of the president

will not influence her decision on when to retire. She told The New York Times in August that “there will be a president after this one, and I’m hopeful that that president will be a fine president.”

But, the chorus of people calling on Ginsburg and her 75-year-old liberal colleague Stephen Breyer, to retire has grown louder in recent days and months, with several articles written by liberals advocating retirement while a Democratic president is in office.

Google query peers into society’s mindset Many trains don’t use

BY MICHAEL LIEDTKE Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Death, devices and celebrity drove the quest for more information on Google’s search engine this year.

Three of the world’s four fastest-rising search requests on Google were triggered by the deaths of famous men.

Former South African President Nelson Mandela, who died earlier this month, occupied the top spot, followed by “Fast & Furious” movie star Paul Walker, who died in a Nov. 30 car crash. “Glee” TV series cast member Cory Monteith, who died of a drug overdose in July, ranked fourth in an annual retrospective released Tuesday.

The Boston Marathon bombings in April that killed three people ranked sixth.

The iPhone 5S, the latest upgrade in Apple’s most popular product line, finished third in Google’s rankings. A rival smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S4, took the eighth spot. PlayStation 4, Sony Corp.’s newest video game console, held the ninth position.

The Top 10 was rounded out by the “Harlem Shake,” a song that inspired a procession of amusing dance videos, at No. 5; “royal baby” Prince George, the heir to England’s throne, at No. 7;

and North Korea, whose saber-rattling has become a source of international tension, at No. 10.

Google’s review follows annual round-ups compiled during the previous two weeks by its main search rivals — Microsoft Corp.’s Bing, Yahoo Inc. and Ask.com. Although its list usually comes last each year, Google’s breakdown typically provides the greatest insight into the world’s collective mindset because the company’s technology processes about two out of every three search requests made on the Internet.

Bing ranks a distant second with 18 percent of the U.S. search market, and even less in most other countries. Yahoo, which relies on Bing’s technology, handles the third most search requests.

Because the same inquiries tend to crop up from one year to the next, Google tries to keep its list fresh by focusing on the queries that post the biggest annual gains — a measurement that the Mountain View, Calif., company calls “trending.”

Google also is slicing its vast database of search requests into a hodgepodge of other categories spanning 72 countries, up from 55 last year. In the U.S. alone, Google is compiling more than 90 different lists examining the hottest inquiries about

everything from finances to pop culture.

A handful of the rankings are based on the total number of requests entered into Google’s search engine, instead of breaking them down by the variance from last year.

Google’s pecking order of the most-searched people in the U.S. consists exclusively of singers, with the exception of realityTV show star Kim Kardashian, who is engaged to be married to one of her peers on the list, hiphop artist Kanye West (she ranks No. 3, while he came in at No. 10). The top spot is held by Miley Cyrus, who also was No. 1 in Yahoo’s search rankings for this year (Kardashian ranked second on Yahoo’s list).

Cyrus, Kardashian and Justin Bieber were the only three people to appear in each of the most-searched lists from Google, Bing and Yahoo.

The lists of most-searched people on Google and Bing shared the most in common, with six stars appearing in both categories. Beside Cyrus, Kardashian and Bieber, the other three to make the cut on both Google and Bing were Beyonce Knowles (No. 1 on Bing, No. 5 on Google); Rihanna (No. 3 on Bing, No. 6 on Google); and Taylor Swift (No. 4 on Bing, No. 7 on Google).

The Web surfers who

use Bing evidently have quite different tastes in television from those who search on Google.

Only two series, “Big Bang Theory” and “Big Brother” appeared in each of the two rivals rankings’ of the year’s most-searched TV shows.

“Big Bang Theory” ranked first on Bing’s list, a distinction held by “Breaking Bad” in Google’s rankings. The two search engines couldn’t agree on the most popular morning news show either, with NBC’s “Today Show “ making it on Bing’s list of most frequent TV requests and ABC’s “Good Morning America” securing a spot on Google’s list.

Google was on its own list of trending stocks this year, ranking No. 4.

That’s not a big surprise, given the company’s market value has surged by about 50 percent so far this year, its biggest gain on Wall Street since 2008. That was still not enough to surpass Google rival Facebook Inc. on the list of trendiest stocks.

Facebook’s shares have more than doubled so far this year.

After Facebook came electric car maker Tesla Motors, whose stock has more than quadrupled this year, and online messaging service Twitter Inc., whose stock has more than doubled since its Wall Street debut last month.

Tax cut thwarts plans for school storm shelters

BY SEAN MURPHY Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — After a huge tornado ripped through the Oklahoma City suburbs this spring and demolished two elementary schools, killing seven children, a longtime legislator thought the time was ripe for the state to act on a well-known problem.

Although Oklahoma averages more than 50 tornadoes a year, and sometimes gets more than 100, about 60 percent of public schools have no shelters. Cashstrapped districts can’t afford to build them.

Rep. Joe Dorman, who represents the small farming town of Rush Springs, proposed a bond issue, taking advantage of the state’s rebounding economy and revenue from a business tax that was already on the books.

But the response to his proposal has made clear that there’s something more ominous than tornadoes these days in one of the nation’s most conservative states: taxes and borrowing.

The idea has been

snubbed by Oklahoma’s political leadership, including Gov. Mary Fallin, triggering a debate over the current push by some GOP-controlled states to cut taxes to improve their business climate instead of using available revenue for longstanding problems.

“It would be nice if every kid in Oklahoma had a safe room to go to,” said Bill Pingleton, the superintendent in the rural town of Tushka, where the school and much of the town were destroyed by a tornado in 2011.

But top officials said the schools shouldn’t expect state help for shelters.

“Just adding on a new tax burden on Oklahomans is not the answer,” said Republican State Superintendent Janet Barresi, Oklahoma’s highest ranking education official.

Republican leaders want to eliminate the franchise tax, a $1.25 levy on every $1,000 a corporation invests in Oklahoma, to help fund the shelter plan. The tax, which has existed since 1963,

generates about $40 million annually, but was recently suspended. Since 2010, the Republicancontrolled Legislature has cut the personal income tax and several taxes on businesses as part of an aggressive fiscal agenda.

Supporters of the shelter proposal, including teachers and families of children killed in the suburban Moore tornado, are trying to collect 155,000 signatures to put the question on the 2014 ballot. Organizers said they were about 40,000 signatures short

by Monday’s deadline, but have asked the Oklahoma Supreme Court for additional time.

Oklahoma is dead center in the Great Plains corridor known as tornado alley. Every spring when twister season arrives, school children follow a familiar ritual of filing to interior hallways, gymnasiums or — in the more affluent districts — reinforced shelters for state-mandated storm drills.

At the new Ronald Reagan Elementary School in Norman, a fast-growing

college town in one of the wealthiest counties, every fourth classroom has been outfitted as a shelter with steel-reinforced concrete walls, no windows and a solid steel door.

Parents say the rooms ease their fears.

“I love the idea of having safe rooms in the schools. I wish all schools were like that,” said parent Alicia McBane, 35.

Since the rebuff, supporters of the shelter initiative, organized as Take Shelter Oklahoma, have become embroiled in a dispute with Republican Attorney General Scott Pruitt and the State Chamber over Pruitt’s use of wording in the ballot initiative that emphasizes the funding mechanism.

Some fear the issue is becoming hopelessly entangled in politics.

“When people are holding press conferences in front of the attorney general’s office attacking the state chamber, we have gone far afield from the issue of our children’s safety,” said Republican Sen. David Holt of Oklahoma City.

I didn’t need to be their playmate all the time and I certainly didn’t feel guilty about it,” he said, noting that he worked from home during much of their upbringing and his wife homeschooled.

At 62, now a grandfather, he found himself

looking back on those times during a family gathering at Thanksgiving. He was in a park far from home and was the only adult in the group to accompany a pack of young relatives on the slides. Eight other grownups stood on the perim-

eter and watched, he said.

“Now that my kids are grown, I don’t regret my choices to let them amuse themselves,” Lee said. “Those were formative, imaginative times for them. But sometimes I wish I had played with them more.”

PLAY CONTINUED FROM 1C
