RIENZI — An Alcorn County family was able to escape injury from an early-morning fire that destroyed their home.

The family of Phil and Niki Smith was alerted by their dogs of something wrong at the home at 226 Highway 45 in Rienzi. “The dogs woke them up and they smelled smoke,� said Biggersville Fire Chief Jeff Allen.

According to the fire chief, the Smiths didn’t see any smoke inside or outside the home after being awoke. “The smoke odor was strong so they started taking things out of the home when the fire broke through the south end of the home,� said Allen.

The call to E-911 came in 4:07 a.m. with the first two units on the scene at 4:24. “There was a heavy fire when we arrived ‌ it went fast,â€? add-

Counties get prekindergarten grant

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A grant of almost $1.5 million over the next three years will go toward expanding and strengthening prekindergarten education in Alcorn and Prentiss Counties.

The grant, approved by the Mississippi Board of Education on Thursday, goes to the Corinth-Alcorn Prentiss Early Learning Collaborative. It is one of 11 grants approved

through the Early Learning Collaborative Act, the first state-funded, voluntary prekindergarten program. “The collaborative partners presently serve 233 four-yearolds,� said Corinth Superintendent Lee Childress, “and we intend to use part of these funds to increase that number by 65 additional students. It will create one new pre-K class in the Alcorn School District.

It will also provide one pre-K

class for the Prentiss County School District.�

The grant, which is up to $433,225 in year one and up to $519,225 in years two and three, will provide classroom teachers and assistants for the new classrooms being created.

It will be the Prentiss County district’s first pre-K class. The Alcorn School District presently has 40 pre-K students, while Corinth’s pre-K program is in its third year with five classes

of 20 each.

The collaborative extends beyond the traditional classroom. Partners also include the Corinth and Kendrick Head Starts and a number of day cares — The Giving Tree, Just Kids, Kidsville, Kid Kountry and Little Blessings.

The intent of the effort is to ensure that all four-year-olds are getting a quality experience Please see GRANT | 2A

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Salvation Army needs the help of the community.

Twenty-eight names still remain on the agency’s annual Angel Tree. Those children are in danger of not having anything for Christmas unless individuals step in to help.

“We have had a great success of those already adopted,� said Salvation Army Director Michelle Miles. “They have been blessed and we want those remaining 28 children to have the same feeling.�

The deadline to adopt the 100 children on the tree was Dec. 17. Individuals have until

Dec. 23 to supply Christmas for the remaining kids. “What these children receive during the adoption will be all the Christmas they get,� added Miles. “I don’t want 28 children waking up on Christmas without having something.�

Those interested can go by the agency at 2200 Lackey Drive in

Corinth to get a name of a child. “We need them adopted by Monday at the latest,� said the director. “The community has always stepped up when they realize there is a need.�

Corinth man steps up as first to walk entire Tanglefoot Trail

Jim Wiginton, 88, (left) accepts an award from Tanglefoot Trail Manager Don Locke for being the first person to officially walk the trail’s entire length.

The Corinth man finished his trek on Saturday, Nov. 9 in Houston.

(Editor’s Note: Floyd Ingram of the Chickasaw Journal in Houston compiled this story. It is reprinted with permission.)

HOUSTON — Jim Wiginton grinned as he stepped over the yellow line at the southern gateway to the Tanglefoot Trail on Saturday. “This is great,� said Wiginton, 88, of Corinth. “Yes, I’m a little tired, but it feels great.�

Tanglefoot Trail Manager Don Locke said, as far as he knows, Wiginton was the first to walk the entire length of the trail from New Albany to Houston. “The trail has gotten the attention of a lot of cy-

clists,� said Locke. “I also think those who live near the trail use it regularly to walk a mile or two. “But as far as I know Mr. Wiginton is the first to walk it from North to South,� he added. “I think it is a great accomplishment.�

Wiginton completed the trail on Saturday, Nov. 9.

Locke was tipped off to Wiginton’s milestone by Jim’s son James. James had a special trophy made for his father and got Locke to present it. Saturday’s event was also witnessed

by Jim’s wife and several cyclists along the trail.

Wiginton was quick to point out he did not walk the entire trail at one time.

“I walked from whistle stop to whistle stop and from town to town,� said Wiginton. “I usually got someone to drop me off and we usually made a dinner date out of each stop.�

Wiginton made the final and longest walk Saturday, with the 10-mile trek from New Houlka to Houston. “I really do think that may be the prettiest part of the trail,� said Wiginton. “It is more rural and there is a place where the trees reach over the trail that is just gorgeous this fall.�

3 charged in killing of Ole Miss student Associated Press

OXFORD — Sheriff’s deputies have arrested three men in the killing of a University of Mississippi graduate student.

The Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department says the arrested men are 22-year old Steven Matthew Wilbanks of Burnsville, N.C., 24-year-old Derick Boone of Laurel and 20-year-old Joseph Lyons of Houston, Texas.

It wasn’t immediately clear if any of the men had lawyers. They were being held in the Lafayette County jail Thursday.

They are charged with capital murder in the killing of 25-year-old Zacharias Herculese McClendon of Gulfport. Deputies found McClendon dead with a single gunshot in the early hours of Thursday morning when they were asked to check on him at his duplex on Levee Road, just north of the Oxford city limits.

McClendon was in his first year of studying for a master’s of business administration degree.

Sheriff’s investigator Alan Wilburn tells The Oxford Eagle the men robbed, then shot McClendon. Wilburn says the men then drove McClendon’s SUV through Oxford, parking it at a gas station on Mississippi 6 at the town’s western edge.

“Surveillance video at the gas station linked them to the vehicle,” Wilburn said. He said the SUV was taken to Jackson to be examined by forensic technicians.

Like McClendon, Wilbanks and Boone are Ole Miss students, with Wilbanks majoring in French and Boone majoring in banking and finance, according to university spokesman Danny Blanton. Lyons was last enrolled at Ole Miss in spring 2011 as a theater arts major, but dropped out, Blanton said.

Prior to attending Ole Miss, McClendon graduated from Massachusetts’ Williams College in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. His eighth grade teacher, Georgia Anne Faneca, told the Sun Herald that McClendon also received two degrees from Mississippi College in Clinton in a related field and was an apprentice for an orthopedic surgeon at New Orleans’ Tulane University while in college.

“He liked the challenge of learning,” Faneca said.

McClendon was a 2006 graduate of Gulfport High School.

“We feel pain and loss any time one of our students is taken from us,” Ole Miss Dean of Students Sparky Reardon said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends and we, as a university family, will do all that we can to support them.”

Gunn: Teacher pay raise up for debate publican.

Bryant has said repeatedly that he wants to base any teacher pay increases on test scores and job evaluations.

The last time Mississippi teachers received an across-theboard raise was in 2007, a state election year. Four districts — Clarksdale, Rankin County, Lamar County and Gulfport — are trying merit pay.

The National Education Association, a teachers’ union, said that in 2011-12, Mississippi teachers were paid an average of $41,646, the second-lowest rate in the country.

Joyce Helmick, president of the Mississippi Association of Educators, said in October that the organization wants law-

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 20, 1803, the Louisiana Purchase was completed as ownership of the territory was formally transferred from France to the United States.

On this date: In 1812, German authors Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published the first volume of the first edition of their collection of folk stories, “Children’s and Household Tales.”

In 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union as all 169 delegates to a special convention in Charleston voted in favor of separation.

In 1864, Confederate forces evacuated Savannah, Ga., as Union Gen. William T. Sherman continued his “March to the Sea.” In 1912, the play “Peg O’ My Heart,” a “comedy of youth” by John Hartley Manners starring his wife, actress Laurette Taylor, opened on Broadway.

In 1945, the Office of Price Administration announced the end of tire rationing, effective Jan. 1, 1946.

In 1963, the Berlin Wall was opened for the first time to West Berliners, who were allowed oneday visits to relatives in the Eastern sector for the holidays.

In 1973, singer-songwriter Bobby Darin died in Los Angeles following open-heart surgery; he was 37.

In 1987, more than 4,300 people were killed when the Dona Paz, a Philippine passenger ship, collided with the tanker Vector off Mindoro island.

In 1989, the United States launched Operation Just Cause, sending troops into Panama to topple the government of Gen. Manuel Noriega.

JACKSON — Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn said Thursday that he wants lawmakers in 2014 to consider the first across-the-board teacher pay raise in the past seven years.

He said legislative leaders have not yet discussed details about how large a raise might be considered.

“A lot of it’s going to depend on how much money is available,” Gunn told reporters during an interview in his Capitol office.

Gunn also said that while he’d like to increase the salaries of all teachers, he’d be willing to go with a merit pay raise if that’s the only option acceptable to Gov. Phil Bryant, a fellow Re-

JACKSON — There’s a new traffic cop directing electricity flows to 2.8 million power customers in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas.

New Orleans-based Entergy Corp. handed over management of its grid late Wednesday to the Midcontinent Independent Transmission System Operator.

MISO, based in Carmel, Ind., already directed electricity movement in parts of 11 Midwestern states and Canada’s Manitoba province.

The transfer was set for 11 p.m. CST Wednesday. Earlier in the day, Entergy officials expressed confidence that things would go smoothly. John Hurstell, Entergy’s vice president of system and operations, said MISO conducted an auction Wednesday to cover most of Thursday’s power generation needs across its old and new territories.

Hurstell said that in the handoff, Entergy would tell its computer system to stop giving orders to turn power plants on and off, while MISO’s computer would take over that job.

“MISO has done this before,” Hurstell said.

“They have added parties to the system without any problems.”

MISO is supposed to save Entergy customers $1.4 billion over 10 years. MISO says it will ensure Entergy customers get the cheap-

would cost at least $35 million to give a $1,000 pay raise to all certified school employees. That includes teachers, administrators, counselors and others.

Legislative budget writers were told last month that Mississippi’s economy is showing slow but steady improvement and state tax collections are exceeding expectations. However, Gunn said it will be several weeks before lawmakers have a clearer idea about whether those trends will hold. Legislators have an early April deadline to adopt a budget for fiscal 2015, which begins July 1.

The House and Senate would have to agree on a teacher pay plan before anything could go to the governor.

makers to approve a multi-year plan to increase the base pay for teachers. She said that MAE, an affiliate of the national association, wants the starting pay for Mississippi teachers to increase from about $30,900, to $40,000.

Even without an across-theboard pay raise, Mississippi has a salary schedule that gives teachers a “step” increase of $495 a year. Teachers with master’s, specialist or doctoral degrees earn more. Those with 35 years’ experience and a doctorate make at least $64,870, and many districts offer local pay supplements.

est possible electricity, even if it’s generated at a faraway plant instead of a nearby one owned by Entergy. The savings will come in part through those dayahead auctions, which will allow the most efficient plants to offer to sell power at the cheapest prices.

One way the deal could save money is by allowing Midwestern utilities to ship power south during hot months when air conditioning demand is high, but allow Southern utilities to send power north in winter months when cold weather causes demand to spike there.

“This transfer will allow Mississippians to keep more of their money in their own pockets and insure the electric grid is operated in a manner that best serves the people of Mississippi,” said Mississippi Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley.

Entergy has faced claims that it used control of its grid to favor its own power plants over newer independent generators, even when it cost much more to make electricity at old, inefficient Entergy plants. Independents were unable to sign profitable longterm contracts. Many generators ended up in financial distress and Entergy bought seven of their power plants.

Entergy denied wrongdoing and said it wasn’t responsible for others’ bad business decisions.

JACKSON — The U.S. Attorney’s office has asked a federal judge to deny State Auditor Stacey Pickering’s request to authorize the release of Mississippi Department of Marine Resources records that are being sought by a Gulf Coast newspaper.

Gulf Publishing and the Sun Herald in Biloxi, Miss., have been fighting Pickering for the records, and Harrison County Chancery Judge Jennifer Schloegel recently sided with the newspaper.

But the documents are now in the possession of a federal grand jury, which has been investigating alleged corruption at MDMR. Pickering asked the federal court on Dec. 5 for the records to be released in response to Schloegel’s rulings that the documents are public records.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerry Rush-

ing in Jackson argued in a court filing Wednesday that the records should not be released to the newspaper for publication at this time.

MDMR’s former director, his son, and two former agency employees were indicted Nov. 5 on federal corruption charges related to the use of the agency’s money, but Rushing said the investigation continues.

“Releasing these records at this time, and for the purposes set forth in the petition, would defeat the purpose of the secrecy of the grand jury,” Rushing wrote.

In response to Rushing’s argument, an attorney for Pickering said in a court filing Wednesday that the auditor wants to be “placed in a position to comply with the orders of the Harrison County Chancery Court.”

Schloegel first ruled that the documents were public records in October.

Corinth, Miss.

Obamacare shows America’s aversion to government policies As the fifth year of the Obama presidency draws to a close, it may be time to examine the unspoken but powerful assumption behind the policies of the president and his party.

That is the assumption that Michael in times of economic distress Barone Americans would be supportive of or amenable to Big GovColumnist ernment programs.

The assumption was widely shared, and not just by Democrats. And it has pretty well been disproven, insofar as any abstract proposition can be disproven, in the five years of the Obama presidency.

The Obama assumption has its origins in the 1930s, in the apparent political and economic success of New Deal programs, and it was propagated with great success by the New Deal historians in books that were bestsellers in the years after World War II. It is possible to draw different lessons from the 1930s, as I did in my book “Our Country: The Shaping of America from Roosevelt to Reagan.” In this view, Franklin Roosevelt’s initial political success was due to the programs of the so-called First New Deal, which stopped the dizzying downward deflationary spiral in 1933 and 1934.

In contrast, the economic redistribution programs of the so-called Second New Deal produced labor unrest, a sharp recession and a sluggish recovery, and New Deal Democrats lost their congressional majorities. Roosevelt was re-elected in 1940 only because he was a seasoned leader in a world at war.

That’s not how the Obama Democrats read history, however. Once in office with massive majorities, they wasted no time in passing an $800 billion stimulus package.

They were confident that the stimulus would prove popular with voters. They must have been puzzled when it didn’t -- and when the idea of bailing out underwater homeowners generated not demands for government aid, but the formation of the Tea Party movement.

The Obama Democrats may have been puzzled as well when initial poll numbers showed majorities against Obamacare. In a time of economic distress, weren’t Americans interested in getting free stuff?

This assumption ignored the fact that most Americans were not displeased with their current health insurance arrangements. And it overestimated the amount of sympathy that could be generated for the relatively few who couldn’t get insurance because of pre-existing conditions or unanticipated accidents.

They had evidently read too much Arthur Schlesinger on the glories of the New Deal and too little Friedrich Hayek on the futility of central planning in a complex society.

Some liberals seem to understand this. In a column for the New York Times, Thomas Edsall quotes Harvard economist Benjamin Friedman as saying that in times when a nation is “undergoing a decline in the material realm.” it may be less than usually amenable to “greater generosity toward those who, through some combination of natural circumstance, market forces and sheer luck, have been left behind.”

History provides support for that. In the distressed 1930s, when FDR expanded American government, our Anglosphere cousins in Britain, Canada and Australia voted for governments that opposed similar policies.

The Obamacare rollout that began nearly three months ago has proved more disastrous than all but a few critics of the legislation dared to predict.

The apparent skepticism of most voters that government could competently administer the health care sector seems to have been justified -- and then some.

Gallup reports that 72 percent of Americans see big government, not big business or big labor, as the biggest threat to the nation’s future.

The Obama Democrats assumed Americans would embrace big government policies. They seem to have proved the opposite.

(Daily Corinthian columnist Michael Barone is senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and a co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.)

Prayer for today Loving Father, teach me the secret of constancy, that none may ever be disappointed in me. May I not reckon what I give on recompense, but have the spirit of giving which has no measure for what it may receive in return. May I not be forgetful of thy love which will hold me to deeper reverence and devotion. Amen.

A verse to share “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.”

– Luke 2:10

Memories of Christmases past dominate holidays As I’ve written before over the years, the newspaper business taught me one inescapable fact – for all the joy the Christmas season brings, it also brings for some a measure of regret and sadness.

First and foremost, the Christmas season carries with it an increased incidence of death. During my more than three decades in the newspaper business, I learned that fact simply by seeing the increase in the number of obituaries we published during the holidays.

But more than that anecdotal observation, it’s a scientific fact. An analysis of mortality rates during different times of year found that people are more likely to die during the holidays and researchers cannot explain the annual spike.

A study conducted by three University of California at San Diego sociologists - David Phillips, Gwendolyn Barker and Kimberly Brewer - reported in an article in the journal Social Science & Medicine that that mortality in general rises during

the Christmas season.

Specifically, the sociologists analyzed all U.S. death certifiSid Salter cates over the Columnist 25-year period between 1979 and 2004 and identified an excess of 42,325 natural deaths - that is, above and beyond the normal seasonal winter increase in the two weeks starting with Christmas. One of the key findings of the study was that more people die in hospital emergency room, or arrive dead on arrival, on Christmas and New Year’s Day than on any other days of the year.

Phillips said the team’s analysis of some 57.5-million death certificates generally shows the chance of dying during this holiday period increases “somewhere between 3 percent and 9 percent, depending on the demographic group you’re looking at, and somewhere between 1 percent and 10 percent, depending on what cause of death

you’re looking at.”

As I noted in a prior column on this topic, I had always thought that the “Christmas die” (as I came to call it with a lot of other hard-bitten reporters and editors) was the result of people fighting to live to share just one more Christmas with loved ones.

Seems the researchers nixed that theory. The numbers don’t bear that out, they said. Truth is, no one really knows why there’s an increase in the number of deaths during the holidays.

Then there are those for whom the holidays amplify loneliness, sorrow, homelessness, poverty and other cruel realities of the human condition. There are few things sadder than fear, desperation and suffering during the holidays.

But as I get older, I realize that we have allowed Christmas to become something the holidays were never intended to be. In the name of the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, we engage in an orgy of commercialism and consumption that evokes killing amounts of

stress.

From “Black Friday” shopping riots to the outdoor holiday decoration wars to trying to fill the outsized wish lists of children and grandchildren to the traffic jams and shoulderto-shoulder jostling in retail outlets, the joy of Christmas tends to get lost or at least greatly obscured.

My own thoughts at this time of years turn as much or more to those who are absent at the expense – I fear – of fully enjoying my time with those who are present. But it is the arrival of grandchildren and children now that lights the fires of Christmas in my heart.

So be careful out there this holiday season – and take time to enjoy what really matters about Christmas. The greatest gifts are the presence of friends and loved ones, the laughter and delight of children, the peace and gratitude of old folks, and the promise of the season - the promise of peace and goodwill to men.

Big Brother — the NSA — is watching everyone In his classic novel “1984,” George Orwell warned about the evils of a totalitarian state dominated by a single ruling party with total power over its inhabitants. Oceania, his fictional superstate, is under complete surveillance by the authorities. The character known as “Big Brother” reminds everyone he is constantly monitoring the citizens of Oceania, mainly by “telescreen.”

At the end of 2013, the federal government may not yet have telescreens, which in Orwell’s imagination had the ability to eavesdrop on people’s conversations and broadcast propaganda, but it does have the nonfiction equivalent – data collection, drones and other technological invasions of privacy.

Our government does have the National Security Agency.

And because we have the NSA, and drones and all the rest, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon recently ruled, in an ongoing civil lawsuit, that it’s “significantly likely” that the agency’s wholesale collection of our phone records is unconstitutional – a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.

his ruling to allow for appeals, but his objection to this informationvacuuming Cal was clearly Thomas stated in his 68-page deciColumnist sion: “I cannot imagine a more indiscriminate and arbitrary invasion than this systematic and high-tech collection and retention of personal data on virtually every single citizen for purposes of querying and analyzing it without prior judicial approval. Surely, such a program infringes on that degree of privacy that the founders enshrined in the Fourth Amendment.”

President Obama has said, “Nobody is listening to your telephone calls.” He named a panel to review the NSA’s methods and the balance between privacy and security. The draft report, expected to be released next month, seems to favor privacy over security. A recent Wall Street Journal editorial, “Disarming Surveillance,” supports the NSA’s actions and thinks the board Obama appointed is making recommendations that would make data collection impossible, and us more vulnerable.

The New York Times sees it differently. Its editorial Tuesday was headlined “A Powerful Rebuke of Mass Surveillance.”

So which is it?

In Washington’s tainted political atmosphere, you can be for maximum freedom and privacy ... until there is a terrorist attack.

Then, the same people who argue for the Constitution to be taken literally when it comes to the Fourth Amendment (and who argue for a “living Constitution” on other issues) would demand to know why the government didn’t do more to protect us.

How much privacy would Americans be willing to give up in exchange for a promise that the bargain will lead to more security? Our leaders regularly tell us they can’t guarantee we won’t be attacked again, so might this be a Faustian deal with the government “devil”?

NSA Director Keith Alexander claims 50 potential attacks were prevented because of the government’s surveillance programs, but we only have his word for it.

“If you like your privacy you can keep it” wouldn’t sound any more credible coming from Alexander than it did coming from the president when he gave us his line about keeping our doctors.

Freedom is a precious commodity. Like virtue, once it is given up it is difficult, if not impossible, to regain. A government that regularly attempts to encroach on our right to privacy must be restrained by the people. Additional hearings should be held on this critical issue and they should be nonpartisan, as difficult as that may be heading into another election season.

Jihadists don’t discriminate between political parties. They have vowed to kill as many Americans as possible. Striking the right balance between security and freedom is critical to both.

Recent history provides numerous examples of nations that have traded freedom for security and gotten neither.

What must be avoided is the kind of thinking Orwell warned against: “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

Freedom and security should not be contradictory, but complimentary. In an age of terrorism, this “devil” is really in the details.

Attorney denies extortion allegation NEW YORK — The lawyer for the housekeeper at the center of a diplomatic furor between the U.S and India is denying accusations that her client tried to blackmail the employer.

Attorney Dana Sussman said Thursday the housekeeper worked long hours for little pay for Devyani Khobragade, India’s deputy consul general in New York.

She eventually left the home and sought help from the Indian community in New York.

She was pointed to a nonprofit that has an anti-trafficking program, where she met Sussman. Together, they went to the State Department.

Khobragade was then investigated and arrested. Â

Porch shooter will face murder trial DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. — A Detroit-area man who fatally shot a drunk, unarmed woman on his porch will stand trial for second-degree murder, a judge said Thursday, rejecting a self-defense argument for the killer’s “bad choice.�

There is no dispute that Theodore Wafer shot Renisha McBride, 19, through the screen of his front door in the early hours of Nov. 2. His attorneys said the 54-year-old man feared for his life, but Dearborn Heights Judge David Turfe said there were other ways to protect himself, including a phone call for help. “This court recognizes you can’t automatically penalize someone for making a bad decision when pressed to react quickly,� the judge said. “But at the same time we can’t allow one to use a bad decision as a shield to criminal prosecution. “The defendant made

a bad choice when there were other reasonable opportunities,�

Turfe said.

The standard for a court to order someone to trial in Michigan is not as high as beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the common, traditional threshold to win a criminal conviction. Prosecutors must show only a portion of their evidence at this stage. Indeed, Wafer apparently made a onehour recorded statement to police, but it was not introduced, despite efforts by his lawyers.

Defense attorney Cheryl Carpenter said Wafer didn’t intend to kill McBride, only protect himself. She referred to Michigan’s 2006 self-defense law. Â

Defrocked pastor ‘in shock,’ will appeal NORRISTOWN, Pa. — A United Methodist Church pastor defrocked for officiating the gay wedding of his son says he intends to appeal and is shocked by church officials’ decision.

The pastor, Frank Schaefer, says he is “somewhat in shock still� by the church’s move to revoke his pastoral credentials but says he will continue to fight to eradicate discriminatory language in church doctrine.

Schaefer had been told to resign from the clergy by Thursday if he could not follow the denomination’s Book of Discipline. But Schaefer says the book discriminates against gay people and says he wouldn’t voluntarily surrender his credentials.

Church spokesman John Coleman says officials decided to defrock him. Â

Suit filed to stop horse slaughter ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico Attorney General Gary King says he’s suing a Roswell

company in an attempt to block a planned horse slaughter plant from opening in less than two weeks.

The move comes after a federal appeals court rolled back a court order that had kept Valley Meat Company from beginning operations. Owner Rick De Los Santos has been making plans to open Jan. 1, and his attorney said Thursday those plans haven’t changed.

Attorney Blair Dunn called King’s lawsuit frivolous and a waste of taxpayer money.

The state is seeking a restraining order to keep the plant idle. King contends that Valley Meat has the potential to violate food safety laws.

Valley Meat and other plants in Missouri and Iowa have been targeted by animal protection groups trying to block the slaughtering of horses. Â

Runway reopens after airplane slides SALT LAKE CITY — Flights were disrupted at Salt Lake City International Airport on Thursday after a cargo plane slid on a taxiway made slick by a winter storm.

One runway was reopened 2½ hours after the airport shut down flight operations.

Nearly 30 departures were canceled and 14 incoming flights were diverted to other Utah airports during the shutdown, airport spokesman Barbara Gann said.

The Boeing 757 cargo plane landed safely before the slide, said Allen Kenitzer, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

Nobody was injured and the cargo plane was not damaged, he said.

Faulkner takes House oath JACKSON — The Mississippi House is back up to its full membership of 122.

Democratic Rep. John Faulkner of Holly Springs took his oath of office Thursday during a brief ceremony at the state Capitol.

He won a special election last month to fill a vacancy in District 5, which includes parts of Marshall and Benton counties on the northern end of the state.

Faulkner succeeds Democrat Kelvin Buck, who left the House this past summer after being elected mayor of Holly Springs. Faulkner is an Army veteran.

The 2014 legislative session begins Jan. 7.

Two other new House members were sworn in recently to succeed former lawmakers who were elected mayor in Vicksburg and Moss Point. Â

Cities sued over fatal bridge wreck NATCHEZ — Two lawsuits have been filed against the cities of Vidalia, La., and Natchez, Miss., along with various other agencies in connection with a fatal Mississippi River bridge traffic accident.

The Natchez Democrat reports that the accident happened Dec. 15, 2012, when the westbound lanes on the bridge were closed for a 5K race. Two-way traffic was diverted to the east bound lanes. Officers from Vidalia and Natchez were directing traffic.

A Mercury SUV heading west was hit by a Mazda car heading east.

The Mazda driver was fatally injured. A lawsuit filed on behalf of her husband and estate says traffic supervision was insufficient.

Another lawsuit filed by the injured SUV driver makes similar allegations against the same defendants, but also names the Mazda driver’s estate as a defendant.

Defendants in both lawsuits are the Concordia Chamber of Commerce, Natchez Chamber of Commerce, Vidalia, Natchez, the state of Mississippi, and the state of Louisiana.

The suit filed for the estate of the Mazda driver, Kerry Byargeon, says she did not encounter any road closure or traffic control signs, barriers, barricades, lights or other messages warning her not to change lanes or preventing her from changing lanes.

It was filed Dec. 12 in Concordia Parish.

SUV driver Pete Taylor’s lawsuit, also filed Dec. 12 in Concordia, states the wreck was “due partially, if not entirely, to the negligence of Kerry D. Byargeon.�

But it also makes similar allegations against the other organizations and

government agencies.

Defendants reached by The Natchez Democrat said they had not been served or had no comment on specifics in the lawsuits. Â

Mayor says he failed to report inquiry HATTIESBURG — Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree is taking the blame for failing to notify Hattiesburg City Council members about an investigation into fraudulent city employee gas charges.

Ward 3 Councilman Carter Carroll complained at Tuesday’s council meeting that he and his colleagues were kept in the dark about the six-month Hattiesburg Police Department investigation into fraudulent gas card expenses.

Two of those fraudulent expenses, stemming from the Department of Water and Sewer — and totaling more than $10,000 — were on the docket for the council’s approval Tuesday. They were rejected.

WHEN DID THE KINGDOM OF GOD BEGIN? (3) So far, we have looked at Bible passages which indicate that: (1) the kingdom of God began in the days when kings of the Roman Empire ruled the earth; (2) the kingdom was “at hand� (close to the time of fulfillment) in the days of John the immerser and Jesus the Christ; (3) the kingdom came in the lifetime of some of Jesus’ contemporaries; and (4) the kingdom came “with power.� (Daniel 2:44; Matthew 3:2, 4:17; Mark 1:15, 9:1) Today, I direct your attention to the conversation between Jesus and Simon Peter recorded in Matthew 16:13-19. There Jesus declared that (on the bedrock fact that He was the Christ, the Son of the living God), “I will build My church, and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.� Two important facts to note here are: (1) Jesus used the words “church� and “kingdom� interchangeably--surely He was not promising to build one institution and give out the “keys� to a different one; and (2) Peter would have a prominent role in the beginning of the church/kingdom by using these “keys,� i.e. directing people how to get into it.

Even though Peter and the other apostles did not understand the nature of the kingdom of God at that point, after the resurrection of Christ, He appeared to them and said, “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.� (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8) This, and all the prior prophecies we have looked at so far, about the everlasting kingdom of God finds its fulfillment in a single chapter of the New Testament. Do you know where that passage is found? Lord willing, we will look at that passage next Friday, along with some additional proof that the kingdom came in the first century.

Plea change set in drug money laundering case JACKSON — Federal court records say a man will plead guilty in a case in which he and a woman were charged with conspiring to launder drug proceeds, money laundering and evasion of tax reporting requirements.

The indictment says they Lornell Von Moore of Louin and Patrina Bester Hayes of Paulding used drug money to buy cars, tractor trucks and motorcycles and to make improvements to real estate.

Moore owned LVM Trucking.

The indictment says Hayes and Moore took in about $992,000 from the trucking company from Jan. 1, 2008, to December 31, 2009. They allegedly deposited more than $1.7 million in their bank accounts over the same period.

A change of plea hearing is scheduled Thursday in U.S. District Court in Jackson.

Hayes is set for trial in January.

Attorney: Dismiss charge in suspect search JACKSON — An attorney has filed a motion to dismiss a charge against a Mexican man arrested by a U.S. Marshals Service task force searching for a murder suspect in Jackson.

A Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agent assigned to the force was grazed by a bullet during the Dec. 3 search of a home for a suspect who wasn’t there.

Authorities say it appears the officer was shot by another agent.

Arturo Fomperosa Rodriguez, who was at the house, was charged with illegally possessing a gun.

Prosecutors say Rodriguez is in the U.S. on a temporary visa and can’t have a gun.

Rodriguez’s lawyer, Lisa Ross, argues in Tuesday’s motion that Rodriguez is charged under a statute relating to people in the country illegally and that it should be dismissed.

Rodriguez was initially

charged with assaulting an officer after being accused of pointing the gun at task force agents, but he wasn’t indicted for that.

Michael Huff, a Hinds County deputy and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives task force agent, testified about the search during an initial appearance for Rodriguez on Dec. 4.

He said Rodriguez opened the front door of the house as officers were approaching, then he slammed it shut as he ran back inside.Huff said two officers went into a kitchen area where a sheet was hung in the door of an adjoining bedroom. He said the officers saw a silver pistol poking through the sheet, then opened fire.

They found Rodriguez hiding under a bed. He was not hurt by the shots, but was treated and released for a head injury, authorities say.

The officer who was wounded was outside of the house, and the officers who opened fire where inside, authorities say.

Sanitation director suspended for 10 days STARKVILLE — Starkville aldermen have suspended Sanitation and Environmental Services Director Emma Gandy for 10 days without pay.

The Commercial Dispatch reports that Gandy was suspended Tuesday after an almost three-hour, closed-door session.

Gandy will begin her suspension Thursday. In her absence, City Clerk Taylor Adams will assume leadership duties for the sanitation department.

Once Gandy’s suspension ends, she will then be placed on a six-month probationary period, as ordered by the board.

Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman was tasked with evaluating her job performance every two months during the probation and delivering his findings to aldermen.

Crews progress in industrial fire NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Firefighters are making progress against a large industrial fire at a federal Superfund site in central Tennessee, an official said Thursday.

Tennessee Emergency Management Agency spokesman Jeremy Heidt said a crew of contractors for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency began efforts to put out the blaze in rural Hickman County at around midnight.

They were using bulldozers and trackhoes to push dirt onto the fire, which was about 65 percent contained by mid-morning. Heidt said they hoped to allow nearby residents to return to their homes later in the day. About 300 people were still under evacuation orders on Thursday morning and nearby schools remained closed.

The fire at Industrial Plastics Recycle, about 45 miles southwest of Nashville, has been burning since Wednesday morning. On

Wednesday afternoon, firefighters had to stop trying to put out the blaze after they learned that two 1,000 gallon propane tanks were on the property. Heidt said on Thursday that at least one of the propane tanks had been moved out of the way, and both had been deemed to no longer be a hazard.

Heidt said the main reason the evacuation order was still in place on Thursday was concern about the inhalation of smoke and soot.

There have not been any reports of injuries.

Jimmy Vest lives about 3 miles from the fire and said in a phone interview on Wednesday that the plume of black smoke was blocking out the sun and forming a cloud over his house.

The air smelled of burning plastic and ash pieces larger than his hand were falling from the sky into his yard.

“It looks like parts of boxes and plastic,” he said. “It’s weird. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Federal Superfund sites were created to clean up areas that contain hazardous toxic

waste. The EPA website said the former Wrigley Charcoal Plant, located northwest of Highway 100, was placed on the National Priorities List in 1989 because of contaminated debris, ground water and soil in the county of about 24,000. The Superfund area includes a 35-acre primary site and surrounding areas comprising about 300 acres.

The fire occurred on a portion of the primary site occupied by Industrial Plastics Recycling, a small-scale facility that recycles metals and plastics and has waste product storage.

According to the EPA website, the Superfund site was home to various industrial operations, including iron, charcoal and wood distillation product manufacturing, beginning in 1880. Contaminants of concern at the site include wood tar chemicals, metals and volatile organic compounds.

Heidt said they do not yet know what started the fire.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Officials at Isle Royale National Park are debating what to do about its gray wolf population, which is in danger of dying out.

Only eight wolves were counted last winter, although a couple of pups may have been born this year. That’s the lowest since the 1950s, when scientists began studying the wolves and their predator relationship with the park’s moose.

Some biologists favor taking more wolves to the Lake Superior island to invigorate their gene pool. Others say nature should take its course, even if the wolves disappear.

Superintendent Phyllis Green says she’s considering several options.

Think positive thoughts daily How you feel is based on what you think about.

Your thoughts control your reality. Think scary thoughts and you feel scared. Think sad thoughts and you feel sad.

Think happy thoughts and you feel happy. This is why two people, in the same environment, can each have vastly different thoughts and emotions.

Even in response to the same event, one person may be elated while another is devastated.

In order for you to be happy, you have to start with your thoughts. The concept is very simple; positive thoughts make you feel good while negative ones leave you feeling badly. You pick your thoughts. Although you are surrounded by circumstances that affect your thoughts, you are the

final arbiter of what goes into your mind.

Positive thinking is easy when Bryan everything Golden is going You Dare to Live well.

Without Limits are smiling and feeling great.

You have what you want with little or no worries.

In essence, it’s easy to feel good when the sun is shining. No special effort is required.

The situation is entirely different when you are facing obstacles or your circumstances are less than ideal. Now negative thoughts creep in automatically and it’s easy to feel bad. When your thoughts turn negative, all aspects of your life be-

come tainted. Even those things that normally make you happy are diminished.

When you are dealing with situations that are unfair or don’t make sense, it’s very easy to slip into feelings of despair which displace all positive thoughts. Even the most positive people encounter circumstances that don’t make sense.

When dealing with tragic or unfortunate circumstances, there is a normal emotional grieving process that one has to go through. But at some point, it’s time to begin moving forward.

This is when redirecting your thoughts back to the positive is essential for healing.

Thinking positive thoughts daily is crucial when you are facing

problems. It’s easy to lose track of how negative your thoughts become. When this happens, you accept your negative thoughts as “normal.”

When you are feeling stressed and challenged is when you need to put extra effort into thinking positive thoughts. Your mind is a magnet which is programmed by your thoughts. Whatever your mind expects, it finds.

Negative thinking attracts negative results. Positive thoughts direct your mind to find desirable solutions.

There are numerous benefits associated with consistent positive thinking. In addition to attracting what you want, positive thinkers experience more joy, happiness, and better health. Positive thinking is also a great

technique for combating stress.

Positive thoughts must be based on what you want to achieve, not what you want to avoid. So rather than thinking you don’t want to be sad, you would think about how happy you want to be.

Instead of thinking you don’t want to be poor, your thoughts would be of achieving success.

Here are some examples of positive thoughts: “I can do this”, “I’ll find a solution”, “I’ll find a better approach”, “I’ll figure out a way”, “I’ll be successful”, “I will achieve my objectives”, and “Things will work out for the best.”

One pitfall is filtering out positive aspects of a situation in favor of fixating on the negative ones. So, for example, in a

situation with 10 positive elements and one negative, you discount the 10 positive and obsess about the one negative. This approach blows any negatives out of proportion.

Thinking positive thoughts daily must become as regular a part of your daily routine as eating. Just as you wouldn’t accept going through the day starving, a day without positive thoughts shouldn’t be tolerated either. Positive thoughts are as essential to your mental well being as food is to your physical survival.

‘Duck Dynasty’ patriarch gets Oil trains raise concerns in towns support, critics for remarks

BY JOSH FUNK AND MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press

BY LYNN ELBER Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson — suspended from the series indefinitely after making disparaging remarks about gays — is getting some support from key followers.

Sarah Palin posted a picture on her Facebook page of her with the reality show clan with the message, “Free Speech is an endangered species.”

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal also lamented the suspension on free speech terms.

“It’s a messed-up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended,” said the governor in a statement (the show is filmed in his state.

A&E announced Wednesday what it called a “hiatus” for Robertson, 67, after he disparaged gays in the January edition of GQ magazine. He also said that, growing up in Louisiana before the Civil Rights movement, he never saw mistreatment of blacks.

In a statement, A&E

said it was extremely disappointed to see Robertson’s anti-gay remarks, which it said were based on his personal beliefs and do not reflect those of A&E Networks or the show. A&E Networks, a joint venture of The Walt Disney Co. and Hearst Corp., called itself a supporter of the lesbian and gay community.

The channel’s move was lauded by the gay and lesbian media advocacy group GLAAD, which had quickly condemned Robertson’s comments.

“What’s clear is that such hateful anti-gay comments are unacceptable to fans, viewers, and networks alike,” said GLAAD spokesman Wilson Cruz. Robertson’s removal “has sent a strong message that discrimination is neither a Christian nor an American value.”

Robertson and his extended family became wealthy manufacturing duck calls and were turned into TV and pop culture stars by “Duck Dynasty,” which has set cable ratings records for a non-fiction series.

In his GQ interview, Robertson was asked his definition of sinful behavior.

“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there,” such as bestiality, he said.

GQ said he then paraphrases a biblical reference: “Don’t be deceived.

Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

Robertson and his family had no comment on his hiatus, A&E said on their behalf. He may be in some previously taped scenes when the show returns Jan. 15 for its fifth season, a network spokesman said.

Robertson did respond to initial criticism of his GQ remarks.

“I myself am a product of the ’60s” who indulged in sex and drugs until hitting bottom and accepting Jesus as his savior.

WOLF POINT, Mont.

— It’s tough to miss the trains hauling crude oil out of the Northern Plains. They are growing more frequent by the day, mile-long processions of black tank cars that rumble through wheat fields and towns, along rivers and national parks.

As common as they have become across the U.S. and Canada, officials in dozens of towns and cities where the oil trains travel say they are concerned with the possibility of a major derailment, spill or explosion, while their level of preparation varies widely.

Stoking those fears was the July crash of a crude train from the Bakken oil patch in Lac Megantic, Quebec — not far from the Maine border — that killed 47 people. A Nov. 8 train derailment in rural Alabama where several oil cars exploded reinforced them.

“It’s a grave concern,” said Dan Sietsema, the emergency coordinator in northeastern Montana’s Roosevelt County, where oil trains now pass regularly through

the county seat of Wolf Point. “It has the ability to wipe out a town like Wolf Point.”

The number of carloads hauled by U.S. railroads has surged in recent years, from 10,840 in 2009 to a projected 400,000 this year.

Despite the increase, the rate of accidents has stayed relatively steady.

An Associated Press review of federal hazardous material accident records show most of those incidents involved small quantities of oil.

Railroads say 99.997 percent of hazardous materials shipments reach destinations safely. Representatives said they work hard to prevent accidents and make sure emergency responders are prepared, by training about 20,000 firefighters and others annually.

“It’s not something to be afraid of,” said Union Pacific CEO Jack Koraleski. He said there isn’t a safer option than rail.

Federal officials who oversee railroads said they’ve responded to the boom in oil trains by beefing up rail car inspections in oil-producing states such as North Dakota.

Tougher safety standards are being considered for

the tank cars that carry oil.

But the accident records kept by the U.S. Department of Transportation point to the daunting size of that task. Oil trains are now active in virtually every corner of the country, and since 2008, crude releases from rail cars have been reported in 29 states.

The potential for a major accident looms ominously for emergency officials. Urban areas and towns near railroad facilities are better prepared, while rural officials know they may be on their own in the first crucial hours after an accident.

New Castle County, Del., has extensive resources and well-trained firefighters because it is home to an oil refinery and a complex of chemical manufacturing plants.

County emergency management coordinator Dave Carpenter said the industry has worked closely with officials to improve emergency response since an incident in 1984, so he’s not especially concerned about the crude oil shipments.

“We’re probably one of the more-prepared places in the nation,” Carpenter said.

Ford in ’14

Launching a new product is expensive. That’s the reality Ford Motor will face next year as it rolls out 23 new vehicles around the world.

In its most important market, North America, the automaker will introduce 16 models and has said sales will likely be lower as a result. Lots of new options means Ford will have to discount older vehicles as it transitions to a new lineup. Ford also expects tough price competition to continue, especially in small and midsize cars, due in part to the Japanese automakers taking advantage of a weaker yen

versus the dollar. North America represented 49 percent of Ford’s sales last year.

Ford predicted a 2013 pretax profit of $8.5 billion Wednesday, but said that figure could drop by as much as $1.5 billion next year. That news prompted a two-day selloff in which shares sank 8 percent.

Financial analysts remain split on the stock. Itay Michaeli of Citi Research maintained his “Buy” rating following Ford’s guidance. In a note to investors he called 2014 a “transition year” and said shares are likely to benefit from the new product launches.

Beyond the pharmacy

Profit driver

Retailers will have their fingers crossed today and through the final weekend before Christmas.

Holiday sales got off to a slow start this year.

Many shoppers are holding out for better deals or simply determined not to spend as much. The National Retail Federation estimates spending in November and December will rise 3.9 percent to $602.1 billion, but that’s likely to come along with bigger discounts, which cut into retailers’ profits.

Investors will be looking at Walgreen’s latest earnings to see how drugstore sales are faring.

The nation’s largest drugstore chain has made a priority of improving sales of products outside the scope of its pharmacies. The company said earlier this month that increased promotions helped draw more customers and boost sales in November. Walgreen reports fiscal first-quarter results today.

Wall Street expects CarMax’s earnings and revenue improved in the third quarter.

The car dealership chain, due to deliver its latest quarterly report card today, has benefited this year from rising sales amid overall strong demand for used cars.

Meanwhile, it’s been taking steps to trim expenses while also making plans to open more than a dozen dealerships next year.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Look for the Daily Corinthian 2013 Year in Review by Jebb Johnston on Tuesday, Thursday and Dec. 27.

Husband seeking compromise should give his wife a break DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my wife for a year and a half, and we have an infant child.

I work while my wife stays home.

My problem is she doesn’t like me playing sports and hanging out with friends.

I have tried to make concessions and cut down playing sports to once a week. On game night, when I get home she gives me the silent treatment. She used to come to my games but won’t now, even though she has girlfriends who attend them.

As for hanging out with my friends, I barely see them anymore – and when I do, they come here. If they stay any longer than 30 minutes, it causes a problem and my wife again won’t talk to me for the rest of the night.

I have tried to compromise, but she feels as though any time I spend away from her and the baby is a no-no. Am I wrong to want to play sports and see my guy friends? I have tried talking to her about this, but she thinks any compromise is basically me doing what I want and her having to deal with it. – ONTARIO, CANADA, READER DEAR READER: You should not become a couch potato or become isolated from your friends because you are married and a parent. And neither should your wife. She may resent the time you spend with your friends because she’s stuck at home taking care of the baby. You are

her only adult c o m p a n y, and in a way she may be jealous that you’re enjoying freedom that she Abigail can’t.

Your wife Van Buren should not be doing all the Dear Abby parenting.

One day or evening a week YOU should take care of the baby while SHE takes a break with her friends or family. It could do wonders for your relationship.

If you can agree on this, it could save your marriage. If you can’t, then the two of you should get counseling. Marriage isn’t supposed to put people in isolation – and that’s what it appears your wife is trying to do with you.

DEAR ABBY: For the past 10 years, the holiday season has brought with it arguments between my wife and me. We both get along with our in-laws and do many things with both sides of our families. But for some reason, my wife makes arrangements for the holidays without discussing them with me first.

This year, she told her mom we would host Thanksgiving and that I would have to tell my family we wouldn’t be coming to them.

My wife’s sisters are not close to their in-laws. Am I wrong to

think she should have discussed the matter with me before deciding unilaterally what we’re doing for the holidays? Our kids need to see ALL their grandparents on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Oh – our parents live only seven minutes from each other. – HOLIDAY BLUES IN WISCONSIN DEAR HOLIDAY BLUES: What your wife did was inconsiderate.

You are a couple, and she should have discussed her plan with you before issuing any invitations to see if you were in agreement.

If your home is too small to accommodate both sets of in-laws at the same time, a compromise would be to alternate holidays with each set so no family feels excluded.

DEAR ABBY: Is it acceptable to wear a silver dress to a wedding if you are going as a guest and not a member of the bridal party? Or is silver too close to white and therefore taboo? – INVITEE IN COLLEGE PARK, MD. DEAR INVITEE: The rule is that wedding guests should not wear anything that might distract attention from the bride. If your dress is silver lame or covered in silver sequins, it would be better to dress less conspicuously.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you ask, people will tell you a dozen different ways to accomplish the same thing. There is no bad advice, only advice that works for you and advice that doesn’t.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll say what you mean and be heard loud and clear by those who are on your wavelength. As for the others, you might be surprised at who they are. Were they just pretending to understand you before?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When your aim is to entertain people, the worst thing you can be is boring. Focus less on what’s appropriate and what’s worked before, and figure out how you’re going to present things in a new way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Take social risks. The marvelous perk of this day is an endless supply of “do-overs” for fixing minor gaffes. As for major mistakes, you’re already too much of a pro for those.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s a good thing you’re living honestly, because today you’ll reveal the truth even when you don’t mean to do so. That’s how someone finds out the depth of your feelings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be careful in making your task list for the day. The difference between choice A and choice B may seem small, but it’s significant.

You will determine what to do, and what you do will determine who you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your guiding planet is about to change directions, and you may feel that your heart is on the verge of a new direction, as well. Your feelings for someone won’t go away; they’ll just shift.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’re allowing yourself to be led by a capricious spirit who will only give you mysterious hints as to her destination. It’s all in the name of fun, so don’t invest anything significant in the relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As hard as it is to regulate that unpredictable force in your life, it’s even harder to regulate your own predictable nature. But once you’ve practiced self-control in one area, it will be easier to apply it to the next.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The changes that are coming tomorrow may have your mind whirring even deep into the night. This isn’t a good time to make big fateful decisions. Get some rest instead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Just when you’re wondering whether an endeavor or a relationship is worthwhile, things will shift to show you that there is enough value there to warrant your perseverance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll notice that everyone is looking to you for a bit of amusement. If you’re going to have a story to tell them, you have to get out there and experience life.

Increase your involvement, even in the messy things.

Woman claims 1 of 2 winning lottery tickets

BY JOHNNY CLARK Associated Press

ATLANTA — On her way to work, Ira Curry heard on the radio that one of the winning lottery ticket numbers was her family’s lucky No. 7. She called home, her daughter checked the ticket and in an instant, Curry was a multi-millionaire.

Curry came forward Wednesday to collect half of the $636 million Mega Millions jackpot, the second largest in U.S. history. She’ll take the lump sum of about $120 million after taxes, which will be given to her in about a week or two. The other winning ticket was sold in San Jose, Calif. The winner there has one year to come forward.

Curry, her husband and other family members came to the lottery headquarters in Atlanta to claim the prize, surprising officials who thought the winner may take some time to get their affairs in

order. Alford said Curry bought just one ticket and chose the numbers based on relatives’ birthdays and the lucky 7.

“She said she was just in a state of disbelief,” Georgia Lottery chief executive Debbie Alford said.

It wasn’t clear whether she ever made it to work Wednesday. On Thursday, Aspen Insurance said in an emailed statement that Curry is still an employee there, working as a vice president in the property department at the Atlanta office.

“Ira is a valued longterm employee with Aspen, and the entire Aspen team is thrilled for her and her family,” Mario Vitale, chief executive officer, said in the statement. “It could not have happened to a nicer person, and we are excited for her good fortune.”

Curry, of Stone Mountain, lives in a neighborhood of brick and stucco houses with manicured

lawns about 10 miles east of Atlanta. Her home is two stories with a two-car garage and a basketball goal in the driveway.

Much about her remains unknown. A Facebook page that appeared to be hers was taken down soon after her name was announced, and lottery officials would not give out her age or other information.

She didn’t attend the news conference, and someone who answered her home phone Wednesday said the family didn’t want any publicity and hung up. A man who answered the door said the same thing.

On Thursday, it didn’t appear anyone was home, though several visitors and journalists were trying to reach Curry and her family. Some left packages, and other deliveries were made.

Ron White pulled up to the house in his BMW. He identified himself as a

wealth manager but did not give his employer, and left an envelope at Curry’s door. He said there on the business of financial advice.

“It’s a big deal, a huge deal,” he said of the lottery win and potential business. “Well, you want to try to get ahead of the crowd.”

On Wednesday, neighbor Kaliah Ladler, 18, called the Curry family humble.

“Some people get bigheaded, but I don’t think they’ll get big-headed.

They will probably use it for good,” she said.

Francis Boudreaux, who lives across the street from the Currys, said he was happy for the family but sad because they will probably move.

“I think they will start doing a whole lot of traveling,” he said.

Curry lives just a few miles from Stone Mountain Park, with an 825-foot-tall moun-

tain that covers about a square mile. It features golf courses, camping, bike and walking trails as well as a carving depicting Confederate heroes of the Civil War, including Gen. Robert E. Lee. Curry purchased the ticket at the Gateway Newsstand in the Alliance Center building in Buckhead, a financial center in Atlanta. The office building is home to insurance companies, lawyers, financial services professionals and even the Brazilian Consulate General.

The newsstand is a small, narrow shop with one register. It can hold about 10 people at a time and it is located near the lobby.

Young Soo Lee owns the store with her husband, Young Lee. She grinned as she arrived Wednesday.

“I’m so excited and so happy now,” Young Soo Lee said. “I love my store and the customer.”

Other than the typical 6 percent commission on store lottery sales, the store doesn’t receive any bonus other than recognition.

The California store owner — Thuy Nguyen of Jennifer’s Gift Shop in San Jose — will get $1 million, lottery officials there said.

“When people hear jackpot winner was sold here, everybody want to come here,” Nguyen said.

“They call my shop lucky Buddha.”

Nguyen sells a variety of items, including Buddha statues, Vietnamese DVDs, clocks and flip flops. The former hairstylist took over the shop four months ago after emigrating from Vietnam in the early 1990s.

The jackpot started its ascent Oct. 4. Twentytwo draws came and went without winners. Some $336 million in tickets were sold for Tuesday’s drawing.

Aviation schools nationwide prepare for boom in drone jobs

BY DAVE KOLPACK Associated Press

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Two student pilots are seated shoulder to shoulder before a bank of video monitors, maneuvering an unmanned aircraft by keyboard and mouse as the drone descends toward a virtual runway in a suburban landscape.

Aaron Gabrielson and Andrew Regenhard, aviation students at the University of North Dakota and self-proclaimed videogame junkies, could just as well be sitting on a couch playing Xbox. But instead of tapping their fingers on a controller, they’re learning to fly the plane and use onboard equipment that includes a camera with a zoom lens.

“Some people argue that nothing is going to be like flying an actual airplane.

Granted, looking down and seeing you’re 5,000 feet above the ground is pretty exciting, but I’ve al-

ways been addicted to video games, and this is awesome,” Regenhard said.

Mastering the Corsair simulator is the first practice course for the two trainees, who are among hundreds of student pilots nationwide preparing for jobs that don’t exist yet.

They and their classmates are eager to cash in on the booming market for drone operators that’s expected to develop after more unmanned aircraft become legal to fly in U.S. airspace, which could happen in the next few years.

The university’s unmanned aircraft degree program, the nation’s first, exploded from five students in 2009 to 120 students last year. EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University and Kansas State have since added similar programs. Dozens of other schools offer some courses in what’s known as UAS — unmanned aircraft systems — which range from

drones as big as small planes to 2-foot-wide mini-helicopters.

The first UAS master’s degree program, focused on engineering, was launched at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach, Fla., campus this fall.

“This pie is pretty big,” said Al Palmer, director of UND’s unmanned aircraft program. “Everyone can get their little slice of the pie, because we can’t do all the training in North Dakota.”

The skills needed to fly larger unmanned planes are not unlike those required to fly modern aircraft with computer-based flight controls, professors say. The toughest part of unmanned flying comes with doing it from the ground: You can’t feel what’s going on.

“You don’t have feedback,” Regenhard said.

“When you push the yoke forward in the aircraft, you feel yourself and ev-

erything going down.

With this, you just see it.”

Drones are best known for their use by the U.S. military, but other markets beckon. Amazon made a splash earlier this month by unveiling an embryonic effort that might someday deliver packages by drone, though the company acknowledged practical use is years away.

Most of the potential civilian drone market is in precision agriculture.

Unmanned aircraft are already used for seeding and spraying in Japan. Drones may be used someday to detect disease in crops, depending on the development of sensors.

The potential applications for other unmanned

aircraft are endless, said Michael Toscano, president and CEO of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.

The Boeing ScanEagle, which can fly for 20 hours on a couple of gallons of fuel, was originally developed to help commercial fishermen find and track schools of tuna. The Navy has used the plane to watch pirates. In recent years, North Dakota law enforcement and the university have used the drone to monitor rivers during flood threats in the Red River Valley.

For students, it all adds up to strong job prospects after graduation.

The hopes for civilian

drones might not be realized as quickly as many people in the business had hoped. Concerns about security, privacy and whether drones will be able to detect and avoid other aircraft could push the grand opening beyond a 2015 deadline set by Congress.

In the meantime, North Dakota’s unmanned aircraft students are looking to master the Corsair simulator. Then they advance in January to train for the larger MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper drones.

“That is what a lot of employers are looking for,” aviation student Spencer Wheeler said. “That’s why I came to school here. This is the Harvard of aviation.”

Arkansas State ready to hire NC’s Anderson Associated Press

JONESBORO, Ark. — Blake Anderson has made a habit of breaking records in his two seasons as the offensive coordinator at North Carolina.

The 43-year-old hopes to bring his style of up-tempo football — along with a healthy dose of stability — to Arkansas State.

Anderson was introduced as new coach of the Red Wolves on Thursday, becoming the school’s fifth head coach in five seasons. He replaces Bryan Harsin, who left Arkansas State last week to become the head coach at Boise State.

“I am absolutely completely honored and thrilled to be here,” Anderson said. “... You cannot imagine how excited I am and my family (is) to be here.”

The Red Wolves (7-5) won at least a share of the Sun Belt Conference championship for the third straight season this year — all under different head coaches. Auburn coach Gus Malzahn left Arkansas State after one season last year, just as Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze had done a year earlier.

Arkansas State athletic director Terry Mohajir said the coaching turnover played a large factor in in Anderson’s contract, a five-year, $700,000 annual agreement that includes a buyout of $3 million for the first two years. The buyout tapers to $2 million in the third and fourth years, and then to $1 million in the final year.

Harsin had a $1.75-million buyout in the first year of his contract, and Mohajir said Anderson — who said he was born in Arkansas — had no objections to the hefty clause.

James atop new list of NBA sales for top jersey Associated Press

MIAMI (AP) — Reigning NBA MVP LeBron James was relaxing with his wife not long ago when he looked around and was stunned to see someone wearing his Miami Heat No. 6 jersey.

They were on their honeymoon in Venice.

“It’s kind of crazy, honestly,” James said. “There’s a ‘wow’ factor.”

James is again on top of the NBA’s list of top-selling jerseys in the newest rankings released Thursday. The rankings are based on overall sales from adidas and NBAStore.com in the fourth quarter of this year, along with Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday sales — both of which were recordsetting, the league said.

Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers is No. 2 on the list, followed by Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks.

“If people love the way I play the game of basketball, love the way I inspire to be better, that’s great,” James said. “Everytime I see someone in my jersey, a complete stranger, it’s a ‘wow’ factor.”

There’s a double-digit percentage growth in jersey sales from last year, according to the league.

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is on the list for the first time at No. 6.

Beltran, Yanks finish $45M, 3-year deal Associated Press

NEW YORK — Outfielder Carlos Beltran and the New York Yankees have finalized a $45 million, three-year contract.

The agreement, reached Dec. 6, was announced by the team Thursday. The eight-time All-Star is to be introduced at a Yankee Stadium news conference Friday.

The 36-year-old played for the Mets from 2005-11, when he was dealt to San Francisco. He signed a $26 million, two-year contract with St. Louis before the 2012 season and reached the World Series for the first time this year.

Slowed by knee injuries, Beltran has retained a potent bat — especially in October. He hit .296 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs for the Cardinals this year and added two homers and 15 RBIs in the postseason. Beltran injured ribs in the World Series opener when he banged into Fenway Park’s right-fight fence while robbing Boston’s David Ortiz of a grand slam.

Rebels top Louisiana-Monroe

BY CHRIS BURROWS Associated Press

OXFORD, Miss. — The Mississippi Rebels are not going to win any style points in the evaluation process, but the 75-62 win over LouisianaMonroe on Wednesday still counts in the win column.

“I’m glad we won. I’m happy we won, but I’m not satisfied with how we are playing,” Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy said. “I thought the first five minutes of the second half turned out to be vitally important.”

Marshall Henderson, who finished with a game-high 26 points, sparked a decisive 14-1 run in the opening three minutes to break open a tight contest. Henderson canned three consecutive 3-pointers as the Rebels (8-2) went from

a 37-33 halftime lead to an insurmountable 51-34 edge with 16:52 left.

“We came out and hit four or five shots in a row to start the second half,” Kennedy said. “From there, we got to play with some cushion. I also thought (Ledarius) Snoop White had his best game of the season.”

White finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in what he termed, “my best night. I’m working hard to focus and play with that mentality every night, not just some nights.

They (Louisiana-Monroe) are a good team; they played LSU and Kansas to the wire on the road.”

The Warhawks (3-3) were in position to spring the upset after the first half. How-

ever, the quick blitz from the Henderson-led Rebels settled the issue. Louisiana-Monroe never cut the gap to less than 13 points again.

Louisiana-Monroe was led

by Amos Olatayo and Tylor Ongwae with 17 and 12 points, respectively. The Warhawks out rebounded Ole Miss 4533, including a game-high 11 rebounds from Jayon James.

“We’ve had problems this year coming out after halftime, and those poor five minutes cost us the game,” Louisiana-Monroe coach Keith Richard said. “We played extremely hard in the first half; not perfect, but hard.”

Ole Miss built an 11-6 lead in the opening six minutes, highlighted by the first of Henderson’s 3-point shots.

Louisiana-Monroe pulled

into a tie on two occasions, the final time at 25-25 on a three-point play by RJ McCray with 6:12 left in the half.

The Rebels led 37-33 at halftime, finishing on the third of Henderson’s 3-pointers. Henderson had 14 firsthalf points and added three rebounds, a steal and an assist. Olatayo and Ongwae had 11 and 10 points, respectively, for the Warhawks in the half.

“I was proud of our 20 offensive rebounds because that’s an effort statistic,” Richard said. “But the first five minutes of the second half has to be addressed. You can’t do that with good teams like Ole Miss and expect to stay in the game.”

Mississippi women fall at No. 9 Baylor

BY STEPHEN HAWKINS Associated Press

WACO, Texas — Mississippi coach Matt Insell already knew how good Odyssey Sims and No. 9 Baylor were.

And his Rebels came up only a couple minutes short of a big upset.

Sims had 39 points, including the last seven for the Lady Bears, who won 87-80 on Wednesday night to stretch their national-best home winning streak to 66 games.

“I told our players it’s going to take 40 minutes to win,” said Insell, the first-year Ole Miss coach who was a Kentucky assistant the last five seasons. “We played about 38 minutes. We’ve got to go back and figure out how to play those next two.”

Baylor (9-1), which trailed

by 10 early in the game, got even at 72 when Sims made a three-point play with 5½ minutes left, hitting the free throw after an impressive basket. After grabbing her own rebound, Sims was leaning and falling along the edge of the lane when she flipped the ball up toward the hoop — and it went in.

“It wasn’t desperately,” Sims said, with a bit of a smile. “The girl was a little bit bigger than me, I was trying to go around her. Just kind of how the ball went up and came down. I went along with it. I’m not going to say I knew it was going to go in.”

Sims, who entered the game as the nation’s leading scorer at 29.4 points a game, made only 11 of 32 shots. Ole Miss (8-5) was within a point

with 2:17 left before Sims scored the last seven points for Baylor, including a floater and four free throws in the final 36 seconds.

“She’s just a great player,” Insell said. “I’m proud of my kids for the poise they had defending her. She had 39, but it was a hard 39 for her.”

Ole Miss, which had its seven-game winning streak snapped, jumped out to a 10-point lead in the first half.

The Rebels had five players score in double figures.

Tia Faleru had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Rebels before fouling out. Valencia McFarland had 17 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds.

Danielle McCray and Diara Moore both had 13 points and Gracie Frizzell had 12 on four 3-pointers. McCray also had

12 rebounds.

“We can take a lot from this game,” McFarland said. “it can prepare us for the SEC and what’s to come.”

Nina Davis had 18 points and 15 rebounds for the Lady Bears. Sune Agbuke also had 15 rebounds, and Niya Johnson scored 10 points.

McCray gave Ole Miss its last lead at 74-72 after scoring on a pass from McFarland with just over 4 minutes left.

Davis scored while being fouled with 3:44 left, that being the fifth foul on Faleru.

“It’s a huge difference. Tia Faleru is a kid that’s just really coming into her own,” Insell said. “She plays 21 minutes in a hostile environment against a great team, Please see BAYLOR | 13A

Is it a Super Bowl or the ‘Hunger Games?’

BY JIM LITKE Associated Press

For all the dire predictions making the rounds, you’d think they were playing “The Hunger Games” at MetLife Stadium on Feb. 2 instead of the Super Bowl.

“Cold or snowy is one thing,” San Francisco 49er Phil Dawson said, “but if it’s a blizzard it could be bad. ...That would make things crazy. I’m not sure how that would work.”

Keep in mind Dawson is a kicker. And to be fair, scratch a half-dozen other players and NFL owners — who have the final say on Super Bowl sites — and you’ll get differing opinions about the wisdom of playing the season’s biggest game in the elements. Plenty grew up playing or watching the game that way and still love to; others were only too happy to get in out of the cold and stay there.

But the players and owners all agree with something Colts lineman Cory Redding said recently about trading a few uncomfortable hours outside for a shot at the title.

“Snow, wind, freezing rain, it doesn’t matter,” Redding said. “It just makes the confetti feel that much better.”

The guys that employ them feel just as strongly, even though all but one or two of the 32 owners will be ensconced in sky boxes that night instead of down on the

“Snow, wind, freezing rain, it doesn’t matter.

It just makes the confetti feel that much better.”

Cory Redding Indianapolis Colts lineman field. But another handful or so will be paying even closer attention than usual, and not just to the game, but to the weeklong buildup.

Like co-hosts John Mara of the Giants and Woody Johnson of the Jets, those owners have franchises with outdoor stadiums in cold-weather towns. And if this Super Bowl makes it big in New York, then the reasoning goes that the big game can make it anywhere. New England, Philadelphia, Washington, Tennessee, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver — take your pick.

Owners at those sites, and several others, have broached the subject before and especially lately, though none has been required thus far to put any money or resources where his mouth is — and won’t until the bidding process for the 2019 Super Bowl begins late next summer.

After New York, the next three Super Bowls are set for Phoenix (2015), Santa Clara,

Calif. (2016; the 50th anniversary of the Superpalooza), and Houston (2017). The 2018 field has already been narrowed to Indianapolis, Minneapolis and perennial favorite New Orleans. All three finalists have — or in the case of Minneapolis, will have — a domed stadium. That winner will be announced in May. By then, serious ownership contenders for 2019 will have begun raising cash from civic, business and community groups and helped formed bid committees. It’s not a small commitment. After winning the 2014 game, in a vote taken at the 2010 NFL owners meetings, the host New York-New Jersey committee raised $70 million to cover the cost of staging the event. Their final bill will have to cover everything from erecting a 60-foottall toboggan slide in Times Square to a series of contingency plans on clearing snow and delivering upwards of 80,000 fans to MetLife Stadium on game day.

Other than coming up with the cash and an organizational plan, the bar for entering the Super Bowl lottery is low.

A bid city must have 29,000 hotel rooms within an hour’s drive of the stadium (sorry, Green Bay) and be able to seat upwards of 68,000 fans on game day. It also has to provide two NFL-caliber practice facilities for the teams, buildings large enough to house a

media center and the “NFL Experience” — essentially a weeklong fan convention — and range of sponsor and corporate hospitality gatherings.

Even towns where the field gets chewed up during the season can confidently bid, since NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league has arranged to bring in an entirely new playing surface for the big game in the past.

“At the end of the day, the considerations are the same as they would be for a game in a warm climate or indoors,” McCarthy added. “What did the product on the field look like? Did the logistics work to the benefit of everybody? How was the fan experience? How did it come across on TV? “This is the pinnacle of our game. It’s the one stage that everybody is looking at.”

For handicapping purposes, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder put down the first marker among his coldweather counterparts during a break in those 2010 meetings. Just before he and fellow owners agreed to waive the so-called “50-degree rule” to pave the way for a successful New York-New Jersey bid — previously, hosting cities required an average temperature of 50 or above during the week of the game — Snyder emerged from a midmorning session and said, “I think Please see SUPER | 13A

Familiar foes battle for another DIII crown Associated Press

SALEM, Va. — It will be familiar opponents when Mount Union and WisconsinWhitewater meet in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl for the Division III football national champion on Friday night at Salem Stadium.

But there will a new twist this time around.

The teams have been the last two standing in Division III in eight of the past nine seasons, but the Purple Raiders of Mount Union (14-0)

got there this year with a new coach, 37-year-old Vince Kehres.

Kehres is the son and former defensive coordinator under his father, Larry Kehres, who guided the Purple Raiders to 21 unbeaten regular seasons and 11 national championships in 27 years as coach.

“You can see that they haven’t really skipped a beat with Vince taking over for his father,” Warhawks coach Lance Leipold said this week.

The older Kehres retirned af-

ter last season, when he won his 11th national championship, with a career record of 332-24-3, and Leipold dealt him four of those losses.

The Warhawks had won three in a row before last season, when they missed the playoffs entirely while Mount Union gave Larry Kehres a retirement gift with a 28-10 victory against St. Thomas (Minn.).

When Kehres retired in March, but remained as athletic director, his son took

over. Vince Kehres played for the Purple Raiders and was connected in some way to 10 of the 11 national championship winners.

“I feel like I got handed the keys to a Cadillac, and I put a coat of wax on it and I gassed it up,” Vince Kehres said. “The football program at Mount Union didn’t need a lot of touching up.”

Warhawks’ Matt Behrendt has thrown for 3,041 yards with 36 TDs and one interception.

After the media timeout, Davis made the tiebreaking free throw.

Makenzie Robertson then made a 3-pointer in front of her teammates on the bench to make it 78-74.

Moore then made a layup for Ole Miss, and after the Lady Bears missed on three shots before Agbuke made two free throws, Moore had a three-point play to get to 80-79, but the Rebels never went ahead again.

Ole Miss used a 17-4 run midway through the first half and was up 29-19 when McFarland made a free throw with 8:38 left.

Target: 40 million card accounts may be breached

BY ANNE D’INNOCENZIO, MICHELLE CHAPMAN Associated Press

Target is grappling with security and a public relations nightmare just as the holiday shopping season is wrapping up.

The nation’s second largest discounter said Thursday that data connected to about 40 million credit and debit card accounts was stolen as part of a breach that began over the Thanksgiving weekend.

The data theft marks the second largest credit card breach in the U.S. after retailer TJX Cos. announced in 2007 that at least 45.7 million credit and debit card users were exposed to credit card fraud.

Target’s acknowledgement came a day after news reports surfaced that the discounter was investigating a breach.

The chain said customers who made purchases by swiping their cards at terminals in its U.S. stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 may have had their accounts exposed.

The stolen data includes customer names, credit and debit card numbers, card expiration dates and the three-digit secu-

rity codes located on the backs of cards.

The data breach did not affect online purchases, the company said.

The stolen information included Target store brand cards and major card brands such as Visa and MasterCard.

The Minneapolis company, which has 1,797 stores in the U.S. and 124 in Canada, said it immediately told authorities and financial institutions once it became aware of the breach on Dec. 15. The company is teaming with a third-party forensics firm to investigate and prevent future breaches.

The breach is the latest in a series of technology crises for Target. The company faced tough criticism in late 2011 after it drummed up hype around its offerings from Italian designer Missoni only to see its website crash. The site was down most of the day the designer’s collection launched. The company angered customers further with numerous online delays for products and even order cancellations.

But the credit card breach poses an even more serious problem for Target and threatens to

“Target’s first priority is preserving the trust of our guests and we have moved swiftly to address this issue, so guests can shop with confidence. We regret any inconvenience this may cause,” Chairman, President and CEO Gregg Steinhafel said in a statement Thursday.

Many displeased Target customers left angry comments on the company’s Facebook page. Some threatened to stop shopping at the store. Many customers complained they couldn’t get through to the call center and couldn’t get on Target’s branded credit card website. Target apologized on its Facebook page and said it is “working hard “ to resolve the issue and is adding more workers to field the calls and help solve website issues.

Christopher Browning, 23 of Chesterfield, Va., said was the victim of credit card fraud earlier this week and he believes it was tied to a purchase he made at Target with his Visa card on Black Friday.

However, he called Visa Thursday and the card issuer couldn’t confirm. He says he hasn’t been able to get through Target’s call center.

scare away shoppers who worry about the safety of their personal data.

“A data breach is of itself a huge reputational issue,” said Jeremy Robinson-Leon, a principle at Group Gordon, a corporate and crisis public relations firm. He noted that Target needs to send the message that it’s rectifying the problem and working with customers to answer questions. He believes Target should have acknowledged the problem on Wednesday rather than waiting until early Thursday.

“This is close to the worst time to have it happen,” Robinson-Leon said.

“If I am a Target customer, I think I would be much more likely to go to a competitor over the next few days, rather than risk the potential to have my information be compromised.”

Target advised customers on Thursday to check their statements carefully. Those who see suspicious charges on the cards should report it to their credit card companies and call Target at 866-852-8680. Cases of identity theft can also be reported to law enforcement or the Federal Trade Commission.

With Unlimited Sides

On Monday, Browning received a call from his bank’s anti-fraud unit saying that there were two attempts to use his credit card in California — one at a casino in Tracey, Calif. for $8,000 and the other at a casino in Pacheco, for $3,000. Both occurred on Sunday and both were denied. He canceled his credit card and plans to use cash. Although Browning has no proof, he says he believes the fraud was tied to his Black Friday purchase at Target.

“I won’t shop at Target again until the people behind this theft are caught or the reasons for the breach are identified and fixed,” said Browning.

Brianna Byrnes, 22, of Kansas City, Mo., a student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and a call center worker, said she made a Target purchase during the affected period.

She said the situation made her “a little bit” nervous but was still planning to shop for toys at the retailer.

“I’ve never had anyone steal my identity. I guess it’s taking a risk.”

In Wednesday morning’s trading, Target’s stock dipped $1.15, or 1.8

percent, to $62.40.

The incident is particularly troublesome for Target because it has used its branded credit and debit cards as a marketing tool to lure shoppers with a 5 percent discount.

The company said during its earnings call in November that as of October some 20 percent of store customers have the Target branded cards. In fact, households that activate a Target-branded card have increased their spending at the store by about 50 percent on average, the company said.

“This is how Target is getting more customers in the stores,” said Brian Sozzi, CEO and Chief Equities Strategist. “It’s telling people to use the card.

It’s been a big win. If they lose that trust, that person goes to Wal-Mart.”

Even if Target shoppers haven’t noticed suspicious activity on their credit card accounts, a Target spokeswoman said, “we encourage everyone to be vigilant.”

Target hasn’t disclosed exactly how the data breach occurred, but said it has fixed the problem and credit card holders can continue shopping at its stores.

Traditions are part of Christmas Christmas has come way too fast this year.

I had planned to do my shopping early and approach the special day with ease this time. Didn’t happen!

The more I thought about it, the more things got in the way. I do finally have a tree up in the living room, which reminded me of the way we used to do things when our kids were small.

A few days after our oldest child’s first Christmas, my husband bought a live white pine to set out in our yard. White pines are really fast growers so, although it was not our original intention, in just a few years it was big enough to put lights on at Christmas time.

Each year we were anxious for Thanksgiving because that meant it was time for the lights to go up. As the tree grew, we naturally had to add to the number of lights.

To arrange the strings of multi-colored lights on the branches, we had an

unbelievably long cane with a forked stick attached to the end. It Lora Ann became a Huff real task to decoBack Porch rate the tree, but I was determined to keep the tradition alive.

Soon we had to put a ladder in the back of our ton-truck and then use the cane. After all, the community had become accustomed to the tree, especially the kids, so we couldn’t’ afford to disappoint them. (At least, that was my reasoning.)

Finally, one Christmas the tree was tall enough we had to ask a neighbor friend with a utility truck and bucket lift to stop by after work and lift the lights to the top of the tree. It was then that my husband tried to ease me into realizing it was too much of a task, and we would have to bring our

tradition to an end.

I didn’t know exactly how I felt about that, but during the next spring and summer, the decision was no longer ours to make.

We noticed near the top of the tree were a couple of branches with brown needles. Then one day we could see there were more brown twigs, and soon we heard a crunching noise in the branches.

Beetles had struck and the damage was done.

Our white pine was dying and it was too late to do anything about it.

When Christmas came that year, we tried to ignore the loss, but we were sad. The big glittering light was no longer glowing in the crisp winter darkness.

My mission was to find another tree, of course.

While vacationing in the Smoky Mountains, I fell in love with the eastern hemlock trees that are so plentiful there. It wasn’t long until I had a small hemlock for my front yard.

The tree grew much

slower than the white pine, but eventually it was big enough for lights.

We started our tradition again – but as I got older and the tree grew taller, I had to say good-bye to the outdoor lights.

I tell folks now that I do well to get the lights on the inside tree – forget the outside duty! … So traditions are good but sometimes we have to let one go even though it may hurt. The good part, though, is we can begin new traditions – we just have to use a little imagination.

As Christmas Eve is almost upon us, I wish for each reader a very happy holiday and a new year as bright as the lights on hundreds of Christmas trees in the area.

May God bless us all!

Pope given San Lorenzo’s trophy after victory

BY DANIELA PETROFF AND NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis celebrated his beloved San Lorenzo’s victory in the Argentine soccer championship Wednesday, congratulating team members, reminiscing about going to the stadium as a child and hoisting up the team’s trophy in St. Peter’s Square for all to see.

Club members gave Francis the trophy and the glove goalie Sebastian Torrico used to block the ball in the final minute of Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Velez Sarsfield, securing

the title for the opening half of the Argentine firstdivision season.

Referencing another big moment in Argentine soccer history — Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal against England in the 1986 World Cup — club vice president Marcelo Tinelli said Francis performed a “miracle” on Sunday: “For us, it was the hand of God, the hand of the pope,” he joked.

Both the glove and trophy will remain at the Vatican, a belated birthday gift to Francis, who turned 77 this week.

The former Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a lifelong

fan of the Saints of San Lorenzo, and has been a member since 2008.

The team draws its name from a priest, Lorenzo Massa, who offered to let a group of youths use church grounds to play in instead of the streets of Buenos Aires in the early 1900s.

Bergoglio grew up in the Flores neighborhood of the Argentine capital near the stadium and formed a bond with the team.

On Wednesday, he reminisced about going to the stadium with his father as a boy during a 30-minute meeting with the club at his Vatican ho-

tel. Team members gave him a photo of his childhood hero, Rene Pontoni, who played for San Lorenzo when it won the national title in 1946.

The pope gave the team players and managers an image of the Madonna which they said they would keep in the stadium.

Originally Tinelli, the club vice president, had announced that the team would give Francis a replica of the championship trophy, but he and other officials said Wednesday that they gave him the original and that it would remain in Rome.

ence from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, Jan. 11 and a Praise and Worship Concert at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12.

Support grows for allowing Jewish prayer at key Jerusalem holy site

BY DANIEL ESTRIN Associated Press

JERUSALEM — For decades, the religious Jews who bucked a rabbinic ban and visited a Muslim holy site in Jerusalem where the ancient Jewish temple once stood were seen by many as a fanatic fringe.

But their cause is gaining support among both mainstream religious Jews and Israel’s government. Jewish visits to the politically-sensitive compound are on the rise, and key Israeli lawmakers are lobbying to end a ban on Jewish prayer there.

The matter reached the highest of official levels this month when Israel asked Jordan, which administers Muslim religious affairs at the site, to

consider allowing limited Jewish worship there, according to a Jordanian official.

The visits have unnerved Muslim authorities, who fear that Israel is quietly trying to upset a fragile status quo and encroach upon the site.

Similar tensions in the past have boiled over into deadly violence.

“If this happens, there will be lot of bloodshed,” said Azzam Khatib, director general of the Waqf, Jordan’s Islamic authority that manages the Jerusalem holy site, about the possibility of organized Jewish prayers there.

The site, known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount, is ground zero in the territorial and

religious conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

Revered as Islam’s third holiest spot, the site’s iconic gold-topped Dome of the Rock enshrines the rock where Muslims believe the Prophet Mohammad ascended to heaven.

Jews believe the rock may be where the holiest part of the two ancient temples stood about 2,000 years ago – and where religious Jews pray a third temple will one day be built.

The site is so holy that Jews have traditionally refrained from praying on the hilltop, congregating instead at the adjacent Western Wall. In recent weeks, Israel’s chief rabbis, as well as the rabbi of the Western Wall, have

issued directives urging people not to ascend the Temple Mount, arguing that the temple’s former location on the mount is unclear and that Jews at the site could inadvertently enter the holiest area of the once-standing temple, where it was forbidden to tread.

Attitudes among Orthodox Jews have been evolving, however, as archaeologists have weighed in about the precise location of the ancient temples – and of places where Jews would be allowed to tread.

According to figures the Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon said it obtained from the police, Jewish visits to the holy site have jumped from about 5,700 in 2009 to some 8,300 in

2011. Last year, the number dropped slightly to about 7,800 and this year rose to nearly 8,000.

The Temple Institute, an organization that has led efforts to allow Jewish prayer at the site, attributes the drop in 2012 and this year to police closures during religious holidays when many Jews usually visit. There was no immediate comment from the police to confirm the statistics.

In one of the strangest security measures in the Holy Land, visitors identified as Jews receive police escorts and are banned from praying.

Rabbi Chaim Richman of the Temple Institute, a group that has for years been advocating for Jewish prayer at the holy site,

said police often harass and remove Jews who ascend the mount and recite prayers. He called for Jewish religious freedom at the site.

“I’m asking for the right to move my lips,” Richman said.

Israeli officials declined comment on the matter, but an aide to Israel’s deputy minister of religious affairs said the religious affairs ministry has drafted a proposal that would allow for limited Jewish prayer at the site.

“We see great importance to allow equality in freedom of religion” at the site, said the Idit Druyan, the aide to Deputy Minister Eli Ben-Dahan. “There is no reason why one religion is allowed and another religion is not.”

Nashville holiday specialty poised for comeback

BY ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Fueled by heavy doses of nostalgia and local lore, a largely forgotten Christmastime beef specialty called “the spiced round” is poised for a comeback in Nashville.

The cured top round — traditionally laced with strands of lard mixed with a variety of spices including cinnamon, allspice and clove — was popularized by the city’s German and English meatpackers after the Civil War. Spiced round slices served waferthin on warm biscuits became a mainstay of holiday feasts running from Thanksgiving through the New Year.

But the specialty meat reminiscent of corned beef had all but disap-

peared in recent decades amid changing tastes and the steady decline of local butchers to prepare it.

“It’s something you always had at Christmas,” says Debie Cox, a retired archivist and granddaughter of a German butcher who had a store on the city’s public square.

“It’s a bit of an odd, spicy meat,” she says. “I didn’t particularly like it as a child. I don’t think most children probably would. I like it as an adult, though you can’t get the real thing anymore.”

A lone commercial meatpacker, Elm Hill, has continued to make the spiced round — though no longer with the infused strands of pork fat — for seasonal distribution to a limited number of Nash-

“We’ve had several people come in and tell us that their relatives had invented it. The story’s always the same, it’s just completely different people telling it to us. I think it’s kind of fun.”

Chris Carter Porter Road Butchers ville grocery stores.

Chris Carter, a Nashville native, says he had never heard of spiced round before he and business partner James Peisker founded Porter Road Butchers two years ago. The whole-animal butcher shop specializes in processing local, pasture-raised livestock.

“We have a couple customers who are just die-

hard fans,” Carter says.

So Porter Road Butchers set out to create its own version of the faded favorite, using its own spice recipe and braising the rounds sous vide, a gentle cooking method in which the meat is seasoned, then vacuumsealed and cooked in a warm water bath. Carter said the rounds will be wrapped in seasoned pork

back fat, a process called barding, instead of the traditional — and more cumbersome — larding method.

“It might not be what your grandmother ate 50 years ago, but we hope it’s something people will enjoy,” says Carter.

Recent media attention and research into the dish’s history by Cox and others has helped rekindle enthusiasm. “Nashville is so very different now,” she says. “But people want to see what the old traditions are.”

The origins of the spiced round are the subject of some dispute.

German immigrants and their descendants were prominent butchers in Nashville after the Civil War, giving rise to the belief that the dish had its

roots in the old country.

But the city’s Maxwell House hotel, later made famous for its coffee, served spiced round made

by English-style butchers.

“We’ve had several people come in and tell us that their relatives had invented it,” said Porter Road’s Carter. “The story’s always the same, it’s just completely different people telling it to us. I think it’s kind of fun.”

An 1868 edition of the Nashville Union and American newspaper includes a notice of a luncheon at the Merchants Exchange that included spiced round among the “delicacies” being served.

Another item on the menu that day, opossum, seems less likely to be headed for revival among the city’s craft butchers.

Seneca Falls, NY, claims link to classic ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’

BY MICHAEL HILL Associated Press

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. — Is this where George Bailey lived his wonderful life?

Folks in this quaint upstate New York town think so.

Or more precisely, they say Bailey’s make-believe hometown of Bedford Falls in “It’s a Wonderful Life” — including the main street and the steel truss bridge — was heavily inspired by Seneca Falls.

This cannot be proven, and director Frank Capra never confirmed such a connection. But that hasn’t stopped locals from celebrating the beloved movie every December, complete with actors dressed as Clarence the Angel and mean old Mr. Potter parading down a main street gussied up to look like Bedford Falls.

“Capra always said Bedford Falls represented little slices of small towns that he had visited all

across America. We’re not in a position to dispute that,” said Francis Caraccilo, a trustee for the Seneca Falls It’s a Wonderful Life Museum. “We just think we’re a bigger slice.”

Capra’s 1946 film stars Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey, a small-town, frustrated banker who realizes his life’s value after Clarence shows him what would become of Bedford Falls if George had never been born.

The homey town falls into the clutches of the greedy slumlord Potter, and his Pottersville becomes a city of sin, brimming with sleazy nightclubs, burlesque halls, pawn shops and neon lights.

If Bedford Falls (the nice one, not the naughty one) really was modeled after Seneca Falls, Capra never let on, and died in 1991. But many in this town of 9,000 say they have a strong circumstantial case.

Seneca Falls has a nice

“We’re OK not having proof.

In fact, maybe having a little mystery behind it makes it even better. Keeps the magic going.”

Francis Caraccilo Trustee, Seneca Falls It’s a Wonderful Life Museum broad main street like Bedford Falls’, and there’s a bridge with a plaque dedicated to a man who jumped from the span to save a suicidal woman in 1917 — an act echoed in the film.

Karolyn Grimes, who played George’s daughter Zuzu in the movie and is a festival regular, said Seneca Falls’ similarities are so striking she blurted out “It’s Bedford Falls!” during her first visit.

The film also is loaded with references to nearby upstate cities. The bank examiner wants to get back to his family in Elmira for Christmas. George’s

wealthy friend Sam Wainwright talks of building a factory outside of Rochester, and his brother is offered a job in Buffalo.

Bedford Falls also has a Genesee Street.

The word “genesee” is from the local Iroquois and is closely associated with the Finger Lakes region that includes Seneca Falls.

And while there’s no slam-dunk proof that Capra ever set foot in Seneca Falls, there is the haircut story.

Local barber Tommy Bellissima claimed he cut Capra’s hair in 1945.

Bellissima, who died in

2011, didn’t initially know the customer he chatted with was famous, but the surname Capra stuck in his head because it means “goat” in Italian. The story is that Capra had been on his way to visit an aunt nearby.

Maybe fitting for a Christmas story, the contention that Seneca Falls is the real Bedford Falls comes down to belief.

“There just is no evidence to support it, but God bless them,” said Jeanine Basinger, curator of the Frank Capra Archive at Wesleyan University and author of “The It’s a Wonderful Life Book.”

Basinger said Capra was a meticulous record keeper, yet she has never come across the link in Capra’s records, his diary entries or script notes — not to mention the many conversations she had with Capra over years.

“I hate being in the role of Mr. Potter. I’m sorry, everybody. I wish I could

say: ‘Eureka! And here it is!’ But the fact is there is absolutely no evidence to confirm this,” Basinger said.

It’s also possible that Capra might have known of Bedford Hills, a hamlet in the moneyed bedroom community of Bedford (think Sam Wainwright) north of New York City.

But Evelyne Ryan, executive director of the Bedford Historical Society, said that the place is not similar to Bedford Falls and that a case has never been seriously made.

It’s also possible Bedford Falls was meant to be an ideal, not a place.

Basinger notes the great thing about “It’s a Wonderful Life” is that everyone feels it’s their hometown. And that’s just fine to some Seneca Falls partisans.

“We’re OK not having proof. In fact, maybe having a little mystery behind it makes it even better,” Caraccilo said. “Keeps the magic going.”
