The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen is asking local legislators to support a bill that would give citizens a chance to vote on enacting a special local sales tax in Corinth for infra-
cent of the voters in a special city election. With the push for a statewide local option again failing to gain traction in the Legislature earlier this year, the board is banking on Corinth-specific legislation.

The decision of the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Board was music to the ears of the Corinth Symphony Orchestra. During its final meeting of 2014, board members voted to approve the $3,200 funding request of the symphony board. Orchestra conductor Maurice Weatherall approached the board last month with the request. Action was tabled pending receipts and documentation where the symphony received funding for a July event. On Tuesday, symphony board president Joshua Bryant informed the tourism board all advertising had been donated, but the symphony needed money to pay string musicians for performing at the Christmas Concert. “Many traveled and spent the night in Corinth,” said Bryant. The symphony had originally requested $5,000 last month prior to learning of advertising being donated. “There is a misconception that musicians come to play for free,” said Weatherall. “Most of them had to make a 250-mile trek twice, but they came here and did their Christmas shopping … they all love coming to Corinth because we try to make it nice for them as possible.” According to Weatherall, 200 attended the concert at the Coliseum on Nov. 30. An earlier date than normal played a part in only 200 of the 800 projected from showing up, according to the conductor. “Usually the concert brings in 400-500 people, but it remains

The spirit of giving this Christmas season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area. Donations continue to arrive for the 19th Annual Corinth Rotary Club / Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund. A $25,000 fund raising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 6. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached. So far, $7,077 has been raised, meaning $17,923 still needs to be raised to make the goal.

Local restaurants have turned its lights on for Christmas — all because a teenage girl wants to give back. When Aylah Chelmowski kicked around her Christmas Spirit Program (CSP) idea to benefit a pair of charities, she wasn’t expecting a great number of restaurants to respond. “I was hoping for about 10,” said Chelmowski. What she got was 27 who signed up to see who has the best Christmas decorations. “No didn’t even come into my mind,” said Domino’s Pizza General Manager David
Fillhart when approached by Chelmowski. “She came in and was confident in what she was doing.” Chelmowski’s sales pitch brought in $746 to be divided equally between a small orphanage in Ecuador and a local charity. The 13-year-old was only expecting to raise $300-$500. “A few who didn’t take part gave a donation instead,” said Chelmowski. The winner of the contest will be graded on friendliness, service and decor, according to Chelmowski. The winning restaurant gets a plaque and small cash prize. Individuals can vote for
participating restaurants by texting 662-594-4322 and giving the restaurant’s four digit contest number. “We’ve had about 300 calls and want people to keep calling,” said Bill Chelmowski, Aylah’s father. Deadline to vote for the best decorations is Dec. 22. “Aylah has learned a lot from this,” said her mother, Barbara. Should CSP become an annual event, Chelmowski has already thought of some changes. “I would like to do it next year,” she said. “If I do, I want to put together a team so more can be accomplished.”
After some sewer line repairs, the affected section of Webster Street is going to be resurfaced, but it’s not going to be right away. The city wants residents to know that the strip that has been paved down the center of the street is just the initial patching to the cut that was made in the street. “The pavers that we use under our supply bid contract are shut down for the rest of the year, so we couldn’t get them in here to pave it,” said Street Commissioner Philip Verdung. “It’s a patch now and we will pave the whole thing in the spring.” The affected strip of Webster extends several blocks north of Linden Street. The utility work that has been in progress the last few weeks is in conjunction with the assessment of sewer lines throughout the city. “Part of the first phase of that project was to replace some bad pipes along Webster,” said Matthew Estes of Cook Coggin. “They have replaced all that pipe and now they are in the process of back-filling and repaving the cut section along the Please see WEBSTER | 3
Santa Claus event raises scholarship funds BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
GLEN — Children were ready for last-minute requests. Santa Claus was happy to listen as students in Pre-K through fourth grade filed through to talk with St. Nick at Alcorn Central High School. Santa’s visit was a reward for the school’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter. For a third straight year, Mr. and Mrs. Claus showed up to assist in the chapter’s “Pictures with Santa” event which uses part of the proceeds for a pair of $250 scholarships. “Their eyes just sparkle every time they see Santa Claus,” said FCA sponsor Charlette Foster of the numerous children who had their photo taken. “Things like this just give you a new sense of joy.” Students received a print with Santa for only $5. Those who didn’t have a photo made still got a chance to visit with Santa. “He wanted to talk with every child who came by,” added Foster. Santa’s helpers, Marvin and Sheryl Ratliff from Morris Chapel, Tenn., both donated their services to help with the project.

mittee member Steve Knight appeared before the board. The committee’s request of $3,000 for the April 12 event at the Care Garden will be discussed
at next month’s meeting of the tourism board. Knight told the board the committee is going in a different direction when it comes to donating 100 percent of its tasting kits to charity. The past two years kit proceeds have been donated to the CorinthAlcorn Animal Shelter. “It’s in the best interest of the contest to unline from any one charitable event,� said Knight. The annual contest averages around 50 teams each April with 35-40 of the teams coming from out of town. “It’s not a huge money making event,� said Knight. “What is does though is promote tourism in Corinth.� The next meeting of the tourism board is set for Jan. 20 at 8 a.m.

roadway.” In other street updates: ■ Waldron Street reopened Tuesday afternoon following completion of installation of a replacement arch pipe near Bell Gas. Unless some asphalt becomes available during the winter months, the affected area will also see paving in the spring. ■ Verdung reported to the Board of Aldermen that the city has identified several spots on Meigg Street that need drainage work prior to the upcoming pedestrian improvement project that will provide sidewalks and street lighting between Cass Street and South Parkway. Among the spots of concern, he said, is the intersection of Cemetery and Meigg, where there is no underground drainage, leaving water to pool in the street and become icy during cold weather.
Today is Thursday, Dec. 18, the 352nd day of 2014. There are 13 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 18, 1944, in a pair of related rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Korematsu v. United States, upheld, 6-3, the government’s wartime evacuation of people of Japanese descent, including U.S. citizens, from the West Coast (the decision was limited to the exclusion policy, and did not take up the issue of internment), while in Ex parte Endo, the justices unanimously agreed that “concededly loyal” Americans of Japanese ancestry could not continue to be detained. (Both rulings came a day after the U.S. Department of War said it was lifting the internment policy.)

“We really have fun and he (Marvin) loves it,” said Sheryl. “I think we have found his second calling.” The Ratliffs do around 22 Santa events a year. “They are a godsend,” said Foster. “Both of them come and stay all day and don’t charge a thing.” FCA representatives are in charge of the annual event. “This is always a great day,” said Foster. “Even when you have had a bad night coming in the next day to something like this is so worthwhile.”
On this date: In 1865, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery, was declared in effect by Secretary of State William H. Seward. 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. (Operation Barbarossa was launched in June 1941.) In 1958, the world’s first communications satellite, SCORE (Signal Communication by Orbiting Relay Equipment), nicknamed “Chatterbox,” was launched by the United States aboard an Atlas rocket. In 1969, Britain’s House of Lords joined the House of Commons in making permanent a 1965 ban on the death penalty for murder. In 1972, the United States began heavy bombing of North Vietnamese targets during the Vietnam War. (The bombardment ended 11 days later.)
Ten years ago: The former Iraqi general known as “Chemical Ali,” Ali Hassan al-Majid, went before a tribunal of judges in the first investigative hearings of former members of Saddam Hussein’s regime.
Five years ago: The infamous iron sign bearing the Nazis’ cynical slogan “Arbeit Macht Frei” (Work Sets You Free) that spanned the main entrance to the former Auschwitz death camp in Poland was stolen. (The sign was later recovered; six suspects were later jailed.)

win. “Let the people decide our future.” The city would specify the specific projects to be funded and the beginning and end dates for the special sales tax. “As you know, we have got to have a way over the years to financially take care of these conditions in our city that have deteriorated in infrastructure — streets and roads, etcetera, over a period of probably 30 or 35 years,” said Irwin. “The budget — as great as the improvements we have received in the last four years on the sales tax side — it just cannot keep up with the needs of the city. Until we have a way to count on money every year to set aside just for that, we’re going to fall further and
further behind.” The Legislature has allowed special sales taxes in Jackson and Tupelo. “The better your community looks, the more investment and opportunity you are going to have here,” said Irwin. The suggested bill text would authorize the city to incur indebtedness not greater than an amount whose debt service is capable of being funded by the proceeds of the special sales tax. It would allow the proceeds to go toward infrastructure and economic development projects only. The Mississippi Municipal League made the statewide effort, called the Citizens for Economic Development Act, one if its top priorities during the 2014 legislative session.

The emerging Latino divide BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists
Tear up the textbooks, a new pattern may be emerging among Latino voters. The conventional wisdom – that Hispanics habitually vote Democrat over the immigration issue – may be obsolete. Gallup found that support for President Obama’s amnesty order was primarily among the foreign born population – whether Latino or not. Hispanics born in the United States only backed the amnesty plan by 51-42. Latinos born outside the U.S. backed it by 75-17. (Non-Hispanics born outside the U.S. backed Obama’s plan by 60-32). Since only one-quarter of Hispanic voters are foreign born, this finding is electrifying! It means that the knee-jerk approval Democrats are expecting from the Latino community may not be forthcoming, particularly not in sufficient numbers to offset the backlash among non-Hispanic voters. But the longer term political and social implications of this fissure in the Latino community, based on place of birth, are even more important. Political science experts have long wondered if the rapidly growing Latino population would auger in a permanent Democratic majority. When black and Latino voters reach one-third of the electorate combined (they are now one-quarter), will that cause Republican extinction? Certainly, if Hispanic voters follow African-American voting patters it would spell bad – and possibly fatal – news for the GOP. But the Gallup data suggest that Latinos are assimilating politically into the larger population and, unlike blacks, abandoning race consciousness in their voting patterns. Like German-Americans, Italian-Americans and Irish-Americans, they are mirroring national public opinion in their thinking rather than sticking with their ethnic orientation. This birthplace gap in the Latino vote may help explain the 13 point gain by Republicans among Latino voters in the 2014 elections. While Democrats still won Hispanics 2:1, they did not win by the 3:1 margin Obama tallied in 2012. For decades, politicians spoke of the gender gap in voting patterns before they realized that pro-Democratic voting patterns were largely concentrated among unmarried women. It was more of a marriage gap than a gender gap. So, with outspoken Latino advocacy groups urging immigration amnesty at the top of their lungs, the compliant and complacent media have assumed that they speak for all Latinos. But they don’t. While foreign-born Hispanics account for half of the U.S. Latino population, they are only one-quarter of the citizens and, perhaps, an even smaller share of the electorate. So Republicans should not fear increases in the Latino population as much as they do. The second generation, the children of our new neighbors, show the classical signs of healthy assimilation. (Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)

We’ll have a blue Christmas PINE LEVEL, Ala. — Mother loves Christmas, so upon release from a recent hospital stay – the first of two in two weeks – she directed the decoration of the den from her lift chair in its corner. Cecil B. DeHoliday. She’s in her blue period now, a la Picasso, and so the old holiday cards are framed in blue, and the coffee table has a new blue runner topped with a white reindeer pulling a bluish sleigh. I managed to find both the trunk and the limbs of the spiffy wire tree my sister gave her years ago. The designated balls are rose and blue. I’m a little blue, too, because right now Mother is unable to enjoy her own production. She’s struggling to recover from a fall and now limited to the squeaky hospital bed in a back room. But at her behest I placed another sleigh – this model a proper red – that holds the Christmas cards on a ta-
ble near her so she can see them. She won’t be denied her favorite holiday. Rheta When we Johnson were small she read us Columnist “The Little Match Girl,” the saddest saga ever inflicted upon children. The moral of that story was to help those in need, lest they perish. Hans Christian Andersen’s vision of the neglected homeless wasn’t that different from what happens now. On a daily basis, we pass Match Girls, try not to meet their eyes and drive on by. Another literary staple she read to us each year was “The Birds’ Christmas Carol,” an industrial-strength morality tale about a little bedridden girl who, while dying, plans a jolly celebration for poor neighbors
named Ruggles. I can’t help but think about the fictional Carol Bird as I watch my mother, flat on her bad back, worrying about what she’ll send as presents this year. Several seasons ago we developed a “shop at home” technique that served to fill gift lists while de-cluttering her closets. I suggest we try it again. I guess the reason sad stories resonate and last is because they reflect life, which has the bad habit of going sour at Christmas. Or maybe it simply seems that way. We are set up by movies and books and even soap operas to expect Christmases where everything is perfect. The blouses are taffeta, the trees don’t wilt and the ice cubes in the ice buckets never melt or need replenishing. The prodigals come home in time for the fruitcake. It’s like those Christmas card letters that highlight accomplishments and ignore failures. When and if
you read them, you know down deep that some serious editing of life took place. Looking at the cards my mother has received so far, I see depictions of glittery snow, not Alabama mud. I see families in matching sweaters with smiles that belie economic troubles or divorces or illness. Even the family dogs are smiling. I’ve had many good Christmases, but never a perfect one. I suspect you haven’t had one either. I only know one person who would believe her entire past has been a crescendo of happy holidays, each Christmas better than the last. My mother has never stopped trying for a personal best of decorations, gifts and meals. And this year that story is the saddest of all.

Mitt just keeps coming back Mitt Romney has become the acid reflux candidate. He just keeps coming back up. There has been poll after poll, story after story, and now, over the weekend, a “Ready for Romney” website has emerged, which may or may not be serious. (I am guessing “Masochists for Mitt” was already taken.) The Mitt boomlet is driven by three major forces: First, the belief that the potential Republican field for 2016 is so weak – even though you can find more than a dozen reasonably serious candidates in it – that Mitt will rise head and shoulders above it. It’s the Simon and Garfunkel scenario: “A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. (Woo, woo, woo.)” The second driving force is that there are big-business men eager to give big money to a fellow big-business man such as Mitt in the hopes that he will fight tooth and nail to protect the 1 percent from the greed and laziness of the 99 percent. Third, there are ex-Romney staffers who need jobs. And who else is going to hire them in 2016 except Romney? Having Romney 2012 on your resume is like having Hoover 1932 on your resume. Don’t call us; we’ll call you. History is not on Romney’s side. The most recent time the Republicans nominated a previous losing candidate the next time around was

in 1948. It was Thomas Dewey. He lost. The most recent time the DemoRoger crats nomiSimon nated a previous losing Columnist candidate the next time around was in 1956. It was Adlai Stevenson. He lost. True, Richard Nixon was nominated and lost in 1960 and then won both the nomination and presidency in 1968, but Nixon had a fire in his belly that could have blotted out the sun. Is Mitt that driven? I don’t think so. So why doesn’t he end the Chinese water torture of speculation? Why should he? He likes being speculated about. As one Republican leader told Politico’s Ben White on Dec. 5, “he still views himself as the leader of the establishment wing of the Republican Party.” Actually, I wasn’t aware the Republican Party still had an establishment wing. A wishbone, maybe, but a whole wing? The Washington Post on Oct. 13 identified Romney as “the tacit head of the Republican Party.” Well, maybe. Or maybe that’s just another way of saying the party is headless. So why shouldn’t Romney bask in the limelight? What else is he going to do, roll back and forth on his money like Scrooge McDuck? At a St. Patrick’s Day
breakfast in 2005, Romney said: “When I was a boy, I used to think that becoming rich and becoming famous would make me happy. Boy, was I right!” But not really. Rich and famous is not enough for some people. They want power, too. This is not always bad. Sometimes they want the power to do good. But to get the power, Romney, 67, first would have to win the Republican nomination again. It wouldn’t be all that easy. Republican voters might examine how Romney did when he ran in 2012. And he didn’t do all that well. Against a president with low approval ratings and at a time of high unemployment, Romney lost by nearly 5 million popular votes and 126 electoral votes. Romney’s reputation, aided by a sympathetic documentary, has grown since 2012. But as I remember, he was not that deft a candidate. Americans are not opposed to electing a rich person to the presidency, as long as they are convinced that rich person understands them, their hopes and their dreams. Romney never showed that understanding. Instead, he famously stated that 47 percent of voters “are dependent upon government ... believe that they are victims ... believe that government has a responsibility to care for them ... (and) believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to youname-it – that that’s an en-

titlement.” It’s not just that he said it; he believed it. And then there was the car elevator and the dog on the station wagon roof and “self-deportation” and the millions he had kept in Swiss bank accounts and had stashed in the Cayman Islands. Does he really need all that again? I know, I know. Do not judge Mitt Romney until you have walked a mile in his living room. Sorry. Couldn’t resist. But does Romney really want to jump back into the meat grinder? On Nov. 30, his wife, Ann, tweeted a family picture, with this caption: “Here’s what (Mitt Romney) looks like after a long Thanksgiving weekend with our grandkids in San Diego.” The picture is of Mitt and Ann on a couch with two dogs, a grandchild and a bird sitting somewhat oddly on Mitt’s mussed hair. Mitt is grinning. He looks happy. Very happy. Romney had a standard joke he used on the stump and adapted to many occasions. In it, he recalls saying: “Ann, did you, in your wildest dreams, ever think I’d be a leading presidential candidate?” Then he says, “And she turned to me and said, ‘Mitt, you’re not in my wildest dreams.’” Yes, he is. And he can stay there. By staying home. (Roger Simon is chief political columnist of politico. com, an award-winning journalist and a New York Times best selling author.)

14 charged in 2012 meningitis outbreak BOSTON — Mold and bacteria were in the air and on workers’ gloved fingertips. Pharmacists used expired ingredients, didn’t properly sterilize them and failed to test drugs for purity before sending them to hospitals and pain clinics. Employees falsified logs to make it look as if the so-called clean rooms had been disinfected. Federal prosecutors leveled those allegations in bringing charges Wednesday against 14 former owners or employees of a Massachusetts pharmacy in connection with a nationwide meningitis outbreak that killed 64 people. U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz called it the biggest criminal case ever brought in the U.S. over contaminated medicine. The 2012 outbreak was traced to tainted drug injections manufactured by the nowclosed New England Compounding Pharmacy of Framingham. Barry Cadden, a cofounder of the business, and Glenn Adam Chin, a supervisory pharmacist, were slapped with the most serious charges, accused in the racketeering indictment of causing the deaths of 25 patients in seven states by acting with “wanton and willful disregard” of the risks.
Sony cancels film’s Dec. 25 release NEW YORK — Sony Pictures has canceled the Dec. 25 release of “The Interview” after hackers threatened terrorists attacks and the largest multiplex chains in North America pulled the film from its screens. In a statement Wednesday, Sony said it was cancelling “The Interview” release “in
light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film.” The studio, which has been shaken by hacker leaks over the past several weeks, said it respected and shared in the exhibitors’ concerns. “We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to our company, our employees, and the American public,” read the statement. “We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome.” Earlier Wednesday, Regal Cinemas, AMC Entertainment and Cinemark Theatres — the three top theater chains in North America — announced that they were postponing any showings of “The Interview,” a comedy about a TV host (James Franco) and producer (Seth Rogen) tasked by the CIA to assassinate North Korea leader Kim Jung-un (played by Randall Park).
Man convicted in student’s death MISSOULA, Mont. — A Montana man who shot and killed a German exchange student caught trespassing in his garage was convicted of deliberate homicide Wednesday in a case that attracted attention as a test of “stand your ground” laws in the U.S. that govern the use of deadly force to defend life and property. Cheers erupted in the packed courtroom when the verdict in the case of Markus Kaarma, 30, was read. Kaarma shot 17-yearold high school student Diren Dede in the early hours of April 27 after being alerted to an intruder by motion sensors. Witnesses testified Kaarma fired four shotgun blasts at Dede,

who was unarmed. The teen’s parents were in the courtroom Wednesday and hugged and cried at the jury’s decision. “It is very good,” Dede’s father, Celal Dede, said with tears in his eyes. “Long live justice.” Kaarma remained stoic as he was led from the courtroom. He faces a minimum penalty of 10 years in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 11. His lawyers plan to appeal.
Arkansas’ Medicaid plan in jeopardy LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas became the first Southern state to expand its Medicaid program in a way that many Republicans found acceptable. The state bought private insurance for low-income people instead of adding them to the rolls of the Medicaid system, which GOP lawmakers considered bloated and inefficient. Now Arkansas could be on the brink of another distinction: becoming the first to abandon its Medicaid expansion after giving coverage to thousands of people. A wave of newly elected Republican lawmakers who ran on vows to fight so-called “Obamacare” — including the state’s “private option” Medicaid expansion — has raised doubts about the future of a leading model for conservative states to gradually adapt to the federal health care law. Arkansas’ incoming Republican governor, Asa Hutchinson, is remaining mum on the plan’s fate. “I think there’s one thing that’s clear and that’s the private option is not going to exist in its current form,” said Senate President Jonathan Dismang, one of several Republicans who helped craft the program and is pushing for its continuation.

Board to interview 2-year college finalists JACKSON — The 10-member Community College Board will meet Thursday to interview two finalists seeking to become the next executive director of the board that oversees Mississippi’s 15 two-year colleges. The board has declined to release the names of the candidates. Board Chairman Bruce Martin of Meridian said that the finalists are a man and a woman, both Mississippi residents. He says neither is currently a president of one of the 15 colleges. Martin says the board plans to conduct the interviews in closed session starting at 9 a.m. Thursday in Jackson. A choice could be announced today or at the board’s regular meeting Friday. Executive Director Eric Clark is retiring at the end of June.
McCrory joins Epps in asking for delay JACKSON — Brandon businessman Cecil McCrory has joined former Mississippi Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps in asking a judge to delay their Jan. 5 trial date. In a motion filed Wednesday, lawyer Don Leland wrote he has received 66 discs of government evidence against McCrory and needs more time to review it. Last week, Epps’ lawyer also asked U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate to delay the men’s trial. Epps and McCrory have pleaded not guilty to charges that McCrory gave Epps hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes starting in 2007 in exchange for Epps steering prison contracts to companies McCrory owned or consulted for. Both men could face hefty prison sentences
and millions in fines.
Salvation Army bell ringer arrested GULFPORT — Gulfport police say a Salvation Army bell ringer who reported a man ran off with her kettle of cash just as she was finishing her shift has been arrested for lying about the incident. Police Chief Leonard Papania says in a news release that 23-year-old Michelle Shantel Pope was arrested Tuesday and charged with petit larceny and false reporting of a crime. Pope initially reported the theft on Dec. 9. She told police an unknown black male approached her, pushed her and stole the kettle containing an unknown amount of money. Papania says the follow-up investigation revealed Pope had helped orchestrate the scheme. Police are still looking for the man who ran away with the kettle.

day without discussion to extend the city’s boundaries to the parcels that lie vacant along Olive Branch’s eastern edge. The annexation plan is part of the story of an evolving small, rural town that in 2011 was identified as the fastestgrowing city in America. Mayor Scott Phillips said the annexation would advance economic development. Two of the parcels lie along Polk Lane, a spot busy in recent years with new footprints like the Helen of Troy distribution center.
Conviction upheld in 2009 slaying BILOXI — The state Court of Appeals has upheld the capital murder conviction of Jeremy William Radau for the 2009 fatal beating of a 74-year-old Harrison County man. Radau was convicted in 2013 and sentenced to life without parole. Prosecutors say Charles E. Pickell was beaten to death with a baseball bat at his apartment on Sept. 19, 2009. Prosecutors say robbery was the motive. Radau was arrested with his girlfriend, Megan Laurence Kinberger. Kinberger pleaded guilty to manslaughter, robbery and burglary. She is serving a 40-year-prison term.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama abruptly announced the U.S. is re-establishing long-broken diplomatic relations with Cuba on Wednesday, declaring an end to America’s “outdated approach” to the communist island in a historic shift aimed at ending a half-century of Cold War enmity. “These 50 years have shown that isolation has not worked,” Obama said in remarks from the White House. “It’s time for a new approach.” As Obama spoke to Americans, Cuban President Raul Castro addressed his own nation from Havana, where bells pealed and schoolchildren interrupted their lessons to mark the historic news. Castro said that while the two countries still have profound differences in areas such as human rights and foreign policy, they must learn “the art of living together in a civilized manner.” Wednesday’s announcement followed more than a year of secret talks between the U.S. and Cuba, including clandestine meetings in Canada and the Vatican and personal involvement from Pope Francis. Setting the stage for the diplomatic breakthrough, Cuba released American Alan Gross, who had been imprisoned for five years, and a Cuban who had spied for the U.S. In exchange, three Cubans jailed in Florida were released by the U.S. Gross spoke with Obama from the plane carrying him home, then met with Secretary of State John Kerry on the ground and later ap-

“These 50 years have shown that isolation has not worked.” President Barack Obama peared before Washington reporters. “This is game changing,” Gross declared in brief, emotional remarks. He flashed a broad grin with missing teeth — lost during his imprisonment — after taking an admiring glance at the American flags posted behind him and taking note that his release came on the first day of Hanukkah. In Havana, Carlos Gonzalez, a 32-year-old information technology specialist, spoke for many in calling the announcement “a shot of oxygen, a wish come true.” “It is an advance that will open the road to a better future for the two countries,” he said. Obama’s plans are sweeping: He aims to expand economic ties with Cuba, open an embassy in Havana, send high-ranking U.S. officials to visit and review Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. The U.S. also is easing restrictions on travel to Cuba, including for family visits, official U.S. government business and educational activities. But tourist travel remains banned. Obama’s action relied on his own executive authority, and drew instant criticism from some in Congress. He cannot unilaterally end the longstanding U.S. economic embargo on Cuba, which was passed by Congress and would require action
“But it potentially goes a long way in providing the economic lift that the Castro regime needs to become permanent fixtures in Cuba for generations to come.” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. from lawmakers to overturn. Half a century ago, the U.S. recognized Fidel Castro’s new government soon after his rebels took power from dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. But before long things began to sour as Cuba deepened its relationship with the Soviet Union. In 1961 the U.S. broke diplomatic relations, and then came the failed U.S.-sponsored Bay of Pigs invasion meant to topple Castro. A year later a U.S. blockade forced removal of Soviet nuclear missiles from Cuba in a standoff that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Hailing Wednesday’s news, the Vatican said that Pope Francis “wishes to express his warm congratulations” for the efforts taken by Cuba and the U.S. “with the aim of overcoming, in the interest of the citizens of both countries, the difficulties which have marked their recent history.” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the news and thanked the U.S. and Cuban presidents “for taking this very important step.” Obama said Gross’ imprisonment had been a major obstacle in normalizing relations. Gross arrived at an American military base just outside Washington Wednesday morning, accompanied by his wife and a handful
of U.S. lawmakers. He went immediately into a meeting with Kerry, who said he looked forward to becoming the first U.S. secretary of state in 60 years to visit Cuba. Obama said he continued to have serious concerns about Cuba’s human rights record but did not believe the current American policy toward the island was advancing efforts to change the government’s behavior. “I do not believe we can keep doing the same thing for over five decades and expect a different result,” he said. Some on Capitol Hill disagreed with his move. Sen. Marco Rubio, RFla., said the new U.S. policy would do nothing to address the issues of Cuba’s political system and human rights record. “But it potentially goes a long way in providing the economic lift that the Castro regime needs to become permanent fixtures in Cuba for generations to come,” Rubio said. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said that while he remains concerned about human rights and political freedom inside Cuba, “I support moving forward toward a new path with Cuba.” U.S. officials said Cuba was taking some steps as part of the agreement to address its human rights issues, including freeing 53 political prisoners.
Congress: More fights than feats Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The tempestuous 113th Congress has limped out of Washington for the last time, capping two years of modest and infrequent legislating that was overshadowed by partisan clashes, gridlock and investigations. “Thank God it’s over,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., said as he left the Capitol late Tuesday. How’s this for a legacy? More than 200 bills became law during the past two years, according to congressional data. That was the fewest since at least 1947 and 1948, when what President Harry Truman dubbed “the donothing Congress” enacted over 900 laws. This Congress did less than the do-nothing one. Each party accused the other of scuttling bills for political purposes ahead of November’s midterm elections, which gave Republicans firm House and Senate control next year. “How many times did we have the point of the week?” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said about Democratic tactics Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press. “It was designed to make us walk the plank. It had nothing to do with getting a legislative outcome.” No. 2 Senate Democratic Leader Richard Durbin of Illinois blamed the GOP. “We have a president who was facing a headwind, Republicans opposing him in Congress and a decline in popularity,” Durbin said. “Republicans saw no reason to give us any legislative help.” Efforts to revamp the immigration system, tighten gun buyers’ background checks and force work on the Keystone XL oil pipeline all foundered
“We have a president who was facing a headwind, Republicans opposing him in Congress and a decline in popularity. Republicans saw no reason to give us any legislative help.” Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill. as the Republican-run House and Democraticled Senate check-mated each other’s priorities. Across-the-board spending cuts designed to be so painful that they would force the two parties to negotiate deficit reduction took effect anyway, attempts to overhaul the tax code went nowhere, and each chamber passed a budget that the other ignored. The partisan impasse was complicated by conservative tea party lawmakers whom GOP leaders often found unmanageable. That helped spark a 16-day partial government shutdown that was hated by voters and became one of this Congress’ hallmarks. On the last day, the Democratic-controlled Senate confirmed a dozen of President Barack Obama’s judicial appointees and sent the White House legislation extending tax breaks for working-class people and special interests alike. But an 11th-hour attempt to renew a federal program covering part of the cost of losses from terrorism was sidetracked by retiring Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who called it a giveaway to the private insurance industry. And while Obama signed 30 more bills into law Tuesday, they were mostly minor — including one honoring golfer Jack Nicklaus with a congressional gold medal for
his “excellence and good sportsmanship.” Through two years, the bar for accomplishments dipped so low that routine functions like averting a federal default and keeping government agencies open seemed like crowning achievements. As if to underscore the turmoil around him, Senate Chaplain Barry Black opened one session last year by praying, “Rise up, O God, and save us from ourselves.” Republicans led congressional investigations of the IRS’ mistreatment of conservative groups and the deadly 2012 attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya. Both parties decried poor medical care by the Veterans’ Affairs Department. Democrats unilaterally weakened filibusters, the Senate’s century-old rule that helps the minority party block action it opposes. Unimpeded, Democrats then confirmed a pile of Obama’s stalled judiciary and executive branch nominees. Before leaving, Congress approved legislation financing federal agencies through September, but not without revolts in both parties. Conservatives bolted because the bill didn’t halt Obama’s executive actions deferring deportations of millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally, while liberals rebelled against its eased restrictions on banks and big political donors.

Travel industry carefully studying Cuba tourism BY SCOTT MAYEROWITZ AP Business Writer
Christy Miller’s class pauses with Corinth Elementary School assistant principal Marty Walker and Corinth School District board member Frank Davis.
2nd grade class hits goal, reads 750 books Christy Miller’s 2nd grade class at Corinth Elementary School recently reached their goal to read 750 books this school year. Ms. Miller says the class began the year with the goal of 250 books and then raised the bar to 500 books once they reached their first goal. Now with 750 books read, Ms. Miller and her students are bursting with excitement over their accomplishment. There’s no doubt that their class alone could reach a total of 1,000 books read this school year. Congratulations to Ms. Miller’s student Izzie Plunk for reading 105 books to help the class reach their goal. The Corinth School District challenges all students, employees, and community members to read a total of 100,000 books by 2016. Corinth School District’s Project REACH (Reading Expands a Community’s Horizons) seeks to encourage children, parents, teachers, and community members to enjoy reading and to promote literacy for people of all ages. Project REACH is made possible by the Innovative Approaches to Literacy grant, a $394,000 grant that was awarded to

NEW YORK — Cuba was once a haven for sun-seeking American tourists. Beautiful beaches, lively casinos and late-night dancing made it the perfect getaway, only an hour’s flight from Miami. But the Cuban revolution led by Fidel Castro and the subsequent Cold War embargo of the communist island nation put an end to that. President Barack Obama’s announcement Wednesday of plans to re-establish diplomatic ties with Cuba doesn’t suddenly lift the ban on U.S. tourism. It does, however, give hope to airlines, hotel chains and cruise companies — all which have been quietly eyeing a removal of the travel ban — that they soon will be able to bring U.S. tourists to the Caribbean nation. “Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean, so there’s some exciting possibilities,� said Roger Frizzell, spokesman for Carnival Corp. He said “some infrastructure for cruising already exists in the country,� although other issues “need to be taken into consideration if this market opens up.� Senior Obama administration officials said that travel to Cuba for tourist activities will remain prohibited. A handful of international companies already operate in Cuba. For instance, Spanish hotel chain Melia has 26 properties on the island. While most Americans are prohibited from traveling to Cuba and spending money there, close relatives of Cubans, academics and people on accredited cultural education programs can visit. And there is a tiny, but robust business in transporting people to Cuba. Most operators are tiny storefront travel agents in the Miami area with names like Alina’s Travel Co. and Gina’s Travel Services. Those agents then charter planes from carriers like American
Scientists: Alcatraz prisoners could have survived Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The three prisoners who escaped from Alcatraz in one of the most famous and elaborate prison breaks in U.S. history could have survived and made it to land, scientists concluded in a recent study. The three Dutch scientists, using the latest hydraulic software and information about tides on
the night of the 1962 escape, said the three men could have made it to land north of the Golden Gate Bridge if they left between 11 p.m. and midnight. If they left before 11 p.m., the strong currents of San Francisco Bay would have carried them to the Pacific Ocean and death, the scientists said. Prison officials and federal agents insisted at the

“Once people get a glimpse of Cuba, they always want to see more. Americans are very curious about a country that is 90 miles off our coast but has been off limits for so long.� Katharine Bonner Senior executive at Tauck a Connecticut-based tour operator Airlines to transport the groups. About 170,000 authorized travelers made the trip last year, according to the Department of Commerce. “Once people get a glimpse of Cuba, they always want to see more,� said Katharine Bonner, a senior executive at Connecticut-based tour operator Tauck, which runs tours there under a cultural exchange license. “Americans are very curious about a country that is 90 miles off our coast but has been off limits for so long.� It is that isolation, in part, that is so appealing. There’s no McDonalds, no Starbucks. Bonner said once travel opens, there will be a rush to see Cuba before its gets “Americanized.� “It’s almost like a country that has been frozen in time,� she said. U.S. airlines have been quietly dipping their toes in Cuba’s warm waters for years. American Airlines dominates many of the routes to Latin America with its hub in Miami. It’s run charters to Cuba for more than 15 years, according to spokeswoman Martha Pantin. It now operates 20 weekly flights from Miami to Havana, Holguin, Santa Clara and Cienfuegos and from Tampa to Havana and Holguin. JetBlue Airways started flying Cuba charters in September 2011. It’s a very small part of the airline’s business; just four weekly flights on Airbus A320s with 50 to 80 customers, either to Havana or Santa Clara. The planes typically seat
150 passengers. Besides pilots and flight attendants, JetBlue adds charter representatives and a mechanics to each Cuba flight. CEO David Barger told The Associated Press last year that the charters are a way of “just understanding what happens, if in fact there’s a normalization.� Delta Air Lines, which operated more than 240 charter flights between October 2011 and December 2012, said it has no immediate plans to fly to Cuba. But, spokesman Anthony Black noted that “having served there through our charter operations, the groundwork has been laid for us to possibly serve the market if an opportunity becomes available.� The one immediate change for licensed travelers: they will now be able to return to the U.S. with $400 in Cuban goods, including tobacco and alcohol. Limited amounts of Cuban cigars might be the new hot souvenir. Travel booking site Orbitz quickly jumped into the fray Wednesday, saying that the decision will hopefully pave the way for open travel between Cuba and the U.S. for both country’s citizens. “We look forward to the day — hopefully soon — when all Americans have the opportunity to travel to Cuba,� CEO Barney Harford said in a statement. “There are numerous economic, social and cultural benefits that will flow from free and open access and our customers are eager to visit Cuba.�

“Why Did Christ Come to Earth?� There are many good reasons why Christ came to earth. However, we are going to notice three major reasons why Christ came to earth. Christ came to earth to do the Father’s will according to John 6:38. “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me�. All who want to go to heaven must also do the Father’s will. “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven� (Matt 7:21). “Blessed are those that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city� (Rev 22:14). Christians must seek to do the will of God from the heart. “Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart� (Eph 6:6). Christ came to earth to redeem man from sin. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life� (John 3: 16). Only Christians can enjoy redemption by the precious blood of Christ. “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins� (Col 1: 14). The blood of goats and calves could not take away sin. “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us� (Heb 9: 12). Christ came to earth to fulfill the Old Testament law. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil� (Matt 5: 17). The old law was designed to bring man to Christ. “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster� (Gal3:24-25). Christ brought about a change in the priesthood and also a change in the law. “ For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law� (Heb 7: 12). The Old Testament was nailed to the cross of Christ. “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross� (Col2:14). If Christ had not come to earth, man would still be dead in trespasses and sin and without hope..

Today
Signs of growth? Economists project that a measure of the U.S. economy’s future health rose at a slower rate last month.

lowest credit ratings. Junk bonds are rated below investment-grade, and offer higher yields to make up for their heightened risk of default. Outside of energy companies, junk bonds are actually up for the year. They returned 3.2 percent through the first two weeks of December, according to Standard & Poor’s. They’re benefiting from relatively low default rates and an improving economy, which should help earnings for the issuers keep growing. Energy junk bonds are down 9.5 percent this year due to crude’s price drop. That means the overall junk-bond market is up just 1 percent.

Strong revenue growth has helped lift Rite Aid’s earnings this year. Wall Street predicts the nation’s third-largest drugstore chain will deliver improved earnings and revenue again today when it reports financial results for its third quarter. Investors will be listening for an update on how sales of generic drugs are faring. Generics are cheaper versions of brand-name drugs and are less profitable.

Daughter asks what to do when outvoted Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My mother is 95 years old and in OK shape. She has been diagnosed with dementia, and her physician recommended a full-time caregiver because Mom is confused most of the time. She still lives in her home, refusing to leave, and my two siblings and I take care of her the best we can. When we were growing up, Mom was mentally abusive to us and physically abusive to my father. She was not a good mother. When we go to her home to clean and cook, she yells and screams about the same things over and over to the point where I often have to leave. She is not a happy person, always focusing on the negative things in her life. Mom refuses to go to a nursing home, and we cannot force her. Our lives are in a constant state of turmoil and severe stress with no end in sight. Here’s the real problem: Mom’s pacemaker is due for replacement. If we don’t act relatively soon, the batteries may die and the pacemaker will cease to function. Obviously, that means Mom could die from heart failure. My two siblings don’t want to have the maintenance done. They say her mind is deteriorating so quickly, it would be pointless. They are willing to throw caution to the wind. But, An-
nie, I don’t think I can live with myself if we don’t replace the batteries. I need your help. -- Outvoted Dear Outvoted: Please don’t have regrets when your mother dies. These choices can haunt you forever. Ask to speak to Mom’s doctor about the pacemaker and her dementia. Even outpatient surgery may be too much for her to handle. Let the doctor advise you. Then look into pooling your resources and getting a caregiver, at least part time, in order to give the rest of you a break. Eldercare Locator at eldercare. gov (1-800-677-1116) and the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org) can also provide resources and support. Dear Annie: My second wife and I have been married for four years. She has two sons from her previous marriage, and I have one daughter and three sons from mine. The problem is how much we spend on them at Christmas. I say we spend an equal amount on all of the kids.
She thinks we should spend twice as much on her two children because I have four. I want to be fair and equitable about this, but cannot seem to convince her that her logic could backfire. These children are all adults in their 20s, and two of them are married. If I am wrong, I will concede. If I am correct, please help me get this across to her. -- Lost in Love Dear Lost: If you and your wife have separate incomes, she can spend what she likes on her kids, and you can spend what you choose on yours. However, assuming you are pooling your money and buying gifts together, we say that you should spend the same on all of the children. This isn’t a competition between your kids and hers. They are ALL your children now and should be treated equally. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Murder, corruption, puppy mills, jail escapes, severe weather or politics -- what are the Top Ten Stories of the Year? See Staff Writer / Photographer Jebb Johnston’s story coming Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Open adoption could help grandmother stay in touch Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby
D E A R ABBY: I am writing this in response to “Un-Grandparent in Ohio” (Aug. 25), whose pregnant teenage daughter has decided to place her baby for
adoption. My daughter and son-in-law adopted their newborn daughter in an open adoption. Each summer the adoption agency sponsors a picnic that is attended by birth and adoptive parents, grandparents and other family members -- and, of course, the adopted child. During the rest of the year, our daughter sends the birth mother photos and letters, going through the same agency. I can only imagine the sadness Un-Grandparent is feeling. I hope her daughter has chosen an adoption agency like this one so she will be able to share in her grandchild’s life. -- GRATEFUL ADOPTIVE GRANDMOTHER DEAR GRATEFUL: I welcomed feedback from readers about that letter and, as always, they provided Un-Grandparent
with thoughtful advice. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I am a grandmother and an attorney. I have done a lot of guardianship work over the years and would like the grandmother to know that in many cases similar to hers, it is the grandmother who adopts the baby. This is often the best solution for everyone -- especially the baby. Most states favor adoptions by family members. It could be a wonderful ending/ beginning for all concerned if that could happen in this case. -- GRANDMA CLAIRE DEAR ABBY: I went through this with my daughter, who was not in a mental or financial position to keep the child. I was in the delivery room for the birth of all my grandchildren, but in order to distance myself from this child, I allowed the adoptive mom to go into the delivery instead, because it was important for her to bond with the baby. It was easier, in a sense, to distance myself from this child because of my daughter’s circumstances. I think about my grandson all the time, and I get pictures from the adoptive family. When the time is right, he will meet his biological family.
My hope is that Un-Grandparent can trust the adoptive parents to be the right ones and that they will do the right thing for the child. -- CHRISTINE ON THE WEST COAST DEAR ABBY: I was neither willing nor emotionally able to raise my 13-year-old daughter’s child. There was an open adoption, with a family that had five children of their own, but neither my daughter nor I took the opportunity to get to know this child or his new family. My parents (the baby’s greatgrandparents) made the effort to keep in touch and were welcomed with open arms. My parents brought ALL the children Christmas gifts, and my mother wrote to them often, visiting when they had a chance. So, if this is an open adoption, there is still the possibility for you to have as much contact as everyone is comfortable with. There is no such thing as too much love! -- KATHRYN IN TEXAS Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). When plans snag, you might wonder whether your intuition is off. It’s not. Believe it or not, the snag is for the best. Eventually, all will work out in an unexpected and fortuitous way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t need to measure up to anyone else’s standards, only your own. It will be good luck to listen to the person who is, for some reason, often ignored. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If there’s a better way to make money, you’re likely to notice it today. That person performing a task you find fascinating is doing the thing that you could be doing and being paid well for it, too! Investigate. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those ideas about wrong and right may look good on paper, but they play out in such nuanced and complicated ways that in the end the moral stance doesn’t settle so neatly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Start the conversation. Whether or
not things take off, you’ll be glad you took the initiative, if only for the education of it. Saying interesting things isn’t necessary. The point is just to get the other person talking. It’s about rapport. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In recent days, your heart song has been a hummable, pleasant melody. Today it has operatic force. The affection you feel is a gift, whether or not you choose to do anything about it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People will communicate to you messages that you already knew but maybe weren’t supposed to. Regardless of how good of an actor you are, your kindness will not allow you to deflate anyone’s ego. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re inclined to share freely all that you’ve learned, but first consider where your parents are coming from. Some people aren’t ready for your knowledge, and it will be wasted on them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Make a resolution for yourself and stick to it. This will be good practice for New Year’s. Even if you stick to it for only a day, you’ll be building your “stick to it” muscles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The older folks will do the “these kids today” talk, and the younger ones will feel annoyed, but not as annoyed as a middle group who realize that the minute they say “these kids today,” they are not among them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s been said that just because you own a hammer doesn’t mean you can build a house. However, you’re a lot closer to being able to build one than the person who doesn’t own a hammer. Have faith and get more tools. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Most people don’t like to feel controlled, and the strong-willed creative types absolutely hate it. Anyone trying to impose a view or a timeline on you will automatically go on your “watch list.”

CAN’T MISS MATCHUPS Seahawks (11–3) at Cardinals (10–4)
All that’s on the line for both teams is the NFC’s top seed at best and the NFC West Division title at worst. Arizona secured its playoff berth in a touchdown-less win against St. Louis. It is the first postseason trip for the Cardinals since 2009, Kurt Warner’s last season. And they could use Warner now as they will go into Sunday’s game with third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley under center. The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks won the first meeting 19–3, which kick started their current four-game winning streak. Arizona is 7–0 at home this season, while Seattle is 4–3 on the road. Falcons (5–9) at Saints (6-8)
OK, this is likely one of the farthest games away from being “can’t miss,” but who can turn their head away when passing by the train wreck that is the NFC South? Both teams are currently drafting inside the top 12 while at the same time playing for a division title. Back in Week 1, when both teams had optimism for a great season, the Falcons won 37–34 in overtime behind a franchise-record 448 yards passing from Matt Ryan. Atlanta, 4–0 in the division, enters on a two-game losing skid. New Orleans is 3–4 at home.
Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel looked like a rookie in his first NFL start, a 30–0 shutout loss to the in-state and AFC North division rival Bengals.
JOHNNY SHUTOUT Well, there is nowhere to go but up for Johnny Manziel
T
Chiefs (8–6) at Steelers (9–5)
he Cleveland Browns’ rookie quarterback made his starting debut in Week 15, and it was certainly forgettable. It was bad enough to lose while still in the playoff hunt and to be shutout 30–0 at home by instate division rival Cincinnati, but the performance itself left plenty to be desired. Running just 38 offensive plays, the fewest for Cleveland since its Week 1 return to the league in 1999 (28), the 22-year-old Manziel went 10-of-18 for 80 yards, was sacked three times, intercepted twice, and finished with a quarterback rating of 27.3. He had five carries for 13 yards. “It’s the first game I’ve ever not scored a point in and been shut out,” he said on Monday. “I’ve played in a lot of games, I feel like, from high school through college and that one and never been shut out until then, so it was definitely tough.” Cincinnati jumped out to a 20–0 halftime lead as Manziel was 4-of-9 for 22 yards with his two interceptions coming in the first two quarters. Both interceptions came on passes longer than 15 yards, of which Manziel finished 0-for-4 on those attempts. “I never felt overwhelmed or that it I never felt overwhelmed or was too much for that it was too much for me. me,” he said. The No. 22 pick — Cleveland rookie Johnny Manziel overall in May’s NFL Draft, Manziel became the Browns’ 21st different starting quarterback since the franchise returned, and the team’s fifth to be shut out in his first start. He became the NFL’s sixth QB in the last 20 years to be shutout in his first start, the first since 2010. And while he called the experience “humbling,” Manziel certainly was not the first first-round QB to be shutout in his starting debut. But if history is any indicator, bouncing back quickly is a rarity. Four other first-round QBs were shutout in their first starts as rookies. The four combined for zero touchdowns and six interceptions in their debuts. They returned the next week to combine for two TDs and nine interceptions, and all four lost again. Johnny Football has two more regular-season games to get on track and potentially get his team into the postseason - a feat none of the other four firstround QBs on the shutout list were remotely close to doing as rookies.
OUTSIDE THE HUDDLE New England quarterback Tom Brady busted off a 17-yard run in the third quarter of the team’s win against Miami, his longest run since 2007. Teammate Julian Edelman had a few descriptions of the of the “slowest 17 yards he’s ever seen” saying “it’s always fun seeing the Clydesdale run” and “I call him Brady Vick.” ... Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin declined to comment on the personal foul call against linebacker Jason Worilds against Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan in the second quarter that kept a touchdown drive alive. Tomlin said “I’m not going to talk about that call because it was horrendous.” OK. ... Super Bowl 49 will be played at the home of the Arizona Cardinals, who secured their playoff berth in Week 15. They are the first host team to make the postseason since Tampa Bay did so in 2000. The Buccaneers lost to Philadelphia 21–3 in
FIRST-ROUND QUARTERBACKS SHUTOUT IN FIRST START TOMMY MADDOX, DENVER, WEEK 12, 1992
Maddox lost 24–0 at the Los Angeles Raiders in his first start as a rookie. He went 11-for-26 for 127 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. He lost at Seattle the following week, 16–13, throwing for 127 yards, his first TD, and another two interceptions. Maddox, who was out of the NFL from 19962000, did not start again until Week 4, 2002, a 32–29 loss at New Orleans. His first win as a starter came the next week when he completed 16-of-25 passes for 216 yards, one TD, and two INTs to defeat host Cincinnati 34–7.
TIMM ROSENBACH, PHOENIX, WEEK 15, 1989
Rosenbach lost 37–0 against visiting Denver, going 2-for-8 for 14 yards with no TDs and no interceptions. He did no start again until Week 1 of the following season, a 31–0 loss at Washington where he was 20-of-39 for 228 yards with no TDs and four interceptions. It was not until Rosenbach’s third career start, Week 2 of the 1990 season, that he scored a win. He went 11-of-19 for 116 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in a 23–21 win at Philadelphia. He went 5–11 as a starter in 1990, started no games in 1991, lost the first two games of 1992 and was out of football by the end of the season.
This is a Wild Card-securing game for Pittsburgh, which still has the AFC North title in its sights with two more wins. The Chiefs need the win to keep their postseason hopes alive, but a number of scenarios have them alive even if they lose out. The Steelers are 7–3 in conference play with a 5–3 home record while the Chiefs are 6–4 against AFC opponents and 3–4 on the road. Ravens (9–5) at Texans (7–7)
Baltimore enters Week 16 as the third AFC North team holding down a spot in the “if the playoffs ended today” scenario. The Ravens currently have the final Wild Card spot, and will make the playoffs with two more wins; the division title is still within reach as well. Meanwhile, Houston is still in contention as the fourth team on the outside looking in, but will need two wins and some help.
TROY AIKMAN, DALLAS, WEEK 1, 1989
Aikman started 11 games of the Cowboys’ 1-15, 1989 season. His first came in Week 1 when he lost 28–0 at New Orleans, completing 17-of-35 passes for 180 yards with no TDs and two interceptions. He followed that with a 27–21 loss at Altanta, throwing for 241 yards on 13-of-23 passing with one TD and two interceptions. Aikman did not get a win until his 12th career start, which came in Week 1 of the 1990 season. He scored the game-winning touchdown, a 1-yard run, to defeat visiting San Diego 17–14. Aikman was 13-of-29 for 193 yards with the rushing TD, a passing TD, and an interception.
BOB GRIESE, MIAMI, WEEK 2, 1967
Griese lost 24–0 to visiting Kansas City, completing 11-of-22 passes for 101 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. He followed that with a 29–7 loss at the Jets the next week, connecting on 1-of-3 passes for four yards, no scores, and one interception. Griese did not get his first win until his sixth start of the 1967 season. He had the game-winning, 31-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to defeat visiting Buffalo 17–14, connecting on 17-of-33 attempts for 222 yards, one TD, and three INTs. Griese was the only one of the four first-round QBs shutout in their first start to get a win in his rookie season.
an NFC Wild Card game. No host team has ever played in the Super Bowl. ... While Arizona’s thirdstring quarterback Ryan Lindley was helping the Cardinals defeat the Rams last week he was also busy on Twitter. Posted on his @RyanLindley14 account while the game was going on: “Stay tuned. Going to randomly offer 25 Bibles to my Followers thru Tuesday. Will you accept my gift of a new Bible?#HolidayBibleGiveaway.” An hour later, whoever was tweeting recognized Lindley was in two places at once and apologized for any confusion and admitted the “oversight on our part.” ... Speaking of Twitter, former NFL receiver Chad Johnson tweeted a pat on his own back Sunday. From his @ochocinco account a tweet “The tip is in the message not the money,” Johnson posted a picture of a $300.92 tip he left on a $351.92 bill, telling the server “Sundays are slow, this should help,” and “I love you.” Johnson might need to remember to carry the one as the total he wrote was $651.92.
No Suck for Duck With their victory against Tennessee Sunday, the 3–11 Jets likely took themselves out of the running to land Oregon's Heisman-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota, and coach Rex Ryan was not apologetic for the win that dropped them from fourth to sixth in the current draft order. “Tough youknow-what,” he said. “Real fans — real Jet fans — want to win. It doesn't matter what pick you get or whatever. If it were Peyton Manning out there, I could understand it, but I don't think Peyton Manning is out there.”

Titans starter again, Whitehurst looks to have fun The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —It’s only fitting that Charlie Whitehurst is the Titans starting quarterback again. They haven’t won since he started against Jacksonville on Oct. 12, and that’s the opponent again coming up Thursday night. So for this game between a pair of 2-12 teams fighting for draft position, Whitehurst believes he has a simple formula to help the Titans to victory. Relax and have fun. “We don’t really have a lot to lose,” Whitehurst
said Tuesday. “That’s kind of our mindset. We’re going to go out there, be confident, let it all hang out and try and get a win.” The career backup who signed with the Titans this offseason already has set career highs by completing 69 of 122 for 967 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions. He has played in five games and will make his fourth start Thursday night in a big turnaround for a quarterback who had gone two years without throwing a regular-season pass heading into this season.
“The game is really fun for me, and it’s become more fun,” Whitehurst said. “Earlier in my career, I was probably more stressed out about stuff. ‘Oh, gosh, I’ve got to do this, do that.’ But I try to have fun, because there’s times in my career in college and in the pros that it wasn’t as fun as it should be. Now, I prepare myself. I go out there and I try to have fun.” Whitehurst went from his last start against the Washington Redskins on Oct. 19 to being inactive until Zach Mettenberger
sprained his right shoulder Dec. 7. Jake Locker was placed on injured reserve Monday after separating his left, non-throwing shoulder. Whitehurst relishes the chance to play whenever the opportunity arises, even as the Titans’ season has come apart. He said the circumstances aren’t great, and he knew he was coming to Tennessee as a backup. “There’s no substitute for playing,” Whitehurst said. “You get to play, you get to play in the NFL. It’s been pretty awesome for me personally, but there’s
been a lot of anguish and a lot of heartache. I’ve been a part of some of these losses, and that’s been tough. You definitely feel more a part of the team and I hope to go out and help us get a win.” He has the trust of Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt, who helped to bring Whitehurst to Tennessee when hired in January. “I feel good about Charlie and what he’s done. He’s played well for us when he’s had to go in there,” Whisenhunt said. “He made some plays for us and made some good
throws. He started against Jacksonville the last time and played a pretty good game, so I certainly feel comfortable with him.” NOTES: The Titans were without RB Dexter McCluster (knee), LT Taylor Lewan (left ankle) and Mettenberger (shoulder) in practice Tuesday. TE Delanie Walker (knee), WR Kendall Wright (right hand), LB Kamerion Wimbley (left hamstring), LB Zaviar Gooden (hamstring), RT Byron Stingily (ankle) all were limited. S Daimion Stafford (concussion) practiced fully.

Rose Bowl familiar for FSU The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —Second-ranked and undefeated Florida State begins its postseason quest for a second consecutive national championship in the same stadium it won the title a year ago: The Rose Bowl. The Seminoles, No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings, are riding a 29-game winning streak and intent on proving that a season-long run of close wins has galvanized them for their semifinal showdown against the No. 3 Oregon Ducks (No. 2, CFP). Although the game is being played in the heart of Pac 12 country in Pasadena, California, Florida State coach Jim-
bo Fisher believes returning to the site where he won his first national title as a coach and the school won its third, has advantages. “It is good you know where you are going to be, the kind of stadium it is and the weather,” Fisher said. “Hey, when you’re on the road, whoever is there, that’s who we’re going to play.” With a semifinal victory, the Seminoles would return Dallas and the stadium where they opened the season with a win over Oklahoma State. But first things first and that’s Oregon. The New Year’s Day game against the Ducks is full of intriguing storylines, including
a showdown between the last two Heisman Trophy winners — quarterbacks Marcus Mariota of Oregon and Florida State’s Jameis Winston. Barring any practice injuries over the next two weeks, the Seminoles will be the healthiest they’ve been all season for Oregon. Fisher is also optimistic that defensive tackle Nile Lawrence-Stample will be ready for the game after missing most of the season with a pectoral injury. “He’s a heckuva player now,” Fisher said. “He was fixing to have a great year.” Winston, who has overcome several shaky starts this season to lead second-half comeback wins, is among

Tonight’s slate has Biggersville hosting Baldwyn and Alcorn Central and Thrasher playing in the final two games of the Jumpertown Tournament. The Lions (2-9) will put their two-game winning streak on the line against the unbeaten Bearcats. Baldwyn (9-0) knocked off previously unbeaten Saltillo on Tuesday. Biggersville completes pre-Christmas play Friday at Walnut. Alcorn Central split is twinbill at Tishomingo County.

Georgia’s OC Bobo interviews at CSU The Associated Press
ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo has interviewed for the vacant head coaching job at Colorado State. Bulldogs coach Mark Richt said Wednesday that Bobo visited Fort Collins but was expected back in time for an evening practice in Athens. It was No. 13 Georgia’s first workout in preparation for the Dec. 30 Belk Bowl against 20th-ranked Louisville. Colorado State was seeking a replacement for Jim McElwain, who left this month to become the new coach at Florida. Oregon offensive
coordinator Scott Frost and Mississippi State co-offensive coordinator Billy Gonzalez have also been mentioned as candidates for the job. The 40-year-old Bobo is a former Georgia quarterback who has been on the coaching staff since Richt was hired in 2001. Bobo was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2007, taking over the playcalling duties from Richt. Bobo has gotten feelers before from other schools, according to Richt, but this is the first time he’s shown serious interest. “A couple of days ago, we found out that Mike had this opportunity,” Richt
said. “Obviously, that’s a very good job. It’s a very good opportunity for a guy to become a head coach. Mike has taken advantage of that opportunity to go visit. But right at this minute, he’s our offensive coordinator.” A fiery presence who can often be heard screaming in the coaching booth adjacent to the press box at Sanford Stadium, Bobo is the son of a coach and has made no secret of his desire to move up to a head job someday. But, given that he has Richt’s full confidence and is running the offense at a top-level program, Bobo can afford to be a bit selective about his opportunities.
Colorado State is certainly intriguing. In three seasons under McElwain, the Rams engineered a quick turnaround after going 3-9 for three consecutive years in the Mountain West Conference. They went 8-6 in 2013 and improved to 10-2 this season, with wins over rival Colorado and Boston College, earning a spot in the Dec. 20 Las Vegas Bowl against Utah. Their offense ranks 12th nationally, averaging 498 yards a game. Georgia also has one of the nation’s most prolific offenses. Averaging nearly 42 points Please see BOBO | 13
Newton practices 8 days after car accident The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C.— Cam Newton returned to practice Wednesday eight days after a horrific-looking automobile accident left him with two fractures in his lower back. Whether or not he starts Sunday against the Cleveland Browns remains unclear. Panthers coach Ron Rivera said the team put Newton through a “rigorous” rehab schedule and will now wait to see how much soreness the fourth-year quarterback has on Thursday. Rivera wouldn’t say definitively if he’ll start Newton or Derek Anderson in a game with playoff implications for the Panthers (5-8-1). The Panthers are a halfgame behind the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South
with two games remaining. “Come Friday I want to have a good feel for him,” Rivera said. “I don’t want to let it drag or linger. We want our quarterbacks to know who’s getting the reps if they’re going to be the starter.” Newton, wearing a long sleeve black shirt under his red practice jersey and a helmet, was limited in practice according to the team’s injury report and split reps with the first team with Anderson. Rivera said Newton looked good throwing, even heaving a few balls more than 60 yards downfield. Rivera said Newton could see an increased workload this week if he feels good. Rivera repeatedly said Thursday is “a big day” for Newton.
“They put him through some very rigorous stuff today with the intention to stress (the back) and see how he feels,” Rivera said. Newton did not address the media, but is scheduled to talk on Thursday. While sitting as his locker Wednesday, Newton was asked how he felt and pretended to zip his lip as he smiled at reporters. He said nothing of his injury. “I thought he looked pretty good and move around normally,” tight end Greg Olsen said of Newton. Olsen said he doesn’t anticipate Carolina’s game plan changing much if Newton doesn’t play, and said the uncertainty over who is starting shouldn’t affect the team’s preparation.
“Both guys have been in this offense long enough and it doesn’t matter,” Olsen said. “So if we haven’t gotten it by now, we’ll never get it.” Newton missed last week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after flipping his truck in a two-vehicle wreck on Dec. 9. Newton suffered two transverse process fractures and was hospitalized overnight after the crash. The fourth-year quarterback is 3-8-1 this season as Carolina’s starter. Anderson is 2-0 with both wins coming against the Buccaneers (2-11). Browns coach Mike Pettine is preparing as if Newton will start at quarterback. He said the more athletic Newton poses more problems from a preparation standpoint than Anderson.

the woman were asked to submit final recommendations to former Florida Supreme Court Justice Major Harding, who presided over the hearing. On the field, the Seminoles came-from-behind in several wins, rallying from deficits as great as 21 points on the road. Fisher bristles at talk that his unbeaten team struggled this season while adding 13 more wins to its streak. “We played very well, we competed very well,� Fisher said. “Being able to not panic and handle situations, from that standpoint, I don’t think we struggled at all.� Fisher, who is a gaudy 58-10 since taking over for Bobby Bowden five years ago, takes a great deal of pride in his team’s resilience and responds to questions about the number of close calls over the season in a similar manner.
“The only undefeated team in the country,� he frequently reminds questioners. And Florida State players are for the most part puzzled why they’re considered the underdogs. “I really don’t understand that,� sophomore cornerback Jalen Ramsey said. “We’re the ones who won 29 in a row. What are we scared of?� Teammate Bobby Hart, a senior offensive tackle, points out the Seminoles have worn a bull’s-eye on their backs for every one of their 13 opponents during the season. “We got everybody’s best shot,� Hart said. “They tried to let you know that ‘we’re trying to knock you off. ‘It showed me a lot about our team, the way that we responded.� But for the first time this season the Seminoles are not favored to win as Oregon currently is a nine-point favorite.

Painkillers lawsuit against NFL dismissed The Associated Press
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12
Football
Thursday, December 18, 2014
NEW YORK — A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by 1,300 former players against the NFL, writing that the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the union was the appropriate forum to resolve claims that teams damaged the players’ by routinely dispensing painkillers. “In ruling against the novel claims asserted herein, this order does
not minimize the underlying societal issue,� Judge William Alsup of the U.S. Northern District in California wrote Wednesday. “In such a rough-andtumble sport as professional football, player injuries loom as a serious and inevitable evil. Proper care of these injuries is likewise a paramount need.� Last month, Alsup asked the NFL Players’ Association to state its position on
the lawsuit. The union responded that the collective bargaining agreement did not provide a mechanism to file grievances over the handling of painkillers on behalf of former players. Alsup ruled the other way, agreeing with the NFL’s argument that the lawsuit was pre-empted by the collective bargaining agreement. He wrote that no court has ruled that a pro league must police its independent clubs
on health and safety issues. “We were surprised and disappointed by this judge’s ruling and plan to file an amended complaint or appeal,� said plaintiffs’ attorney Steve Silverman. “Our clients were courageous for bringing this case, proud of the changes they’ve already made for current and future players, we will continue to avail ourselves of the judicial process to further those goals.�
