Ken Walker did more than protect and serve. The sergeant with the Corinth Police Department delivered early Monday morning. The six-year veteran with Corinth PD delivered a baby around 4:15 a.m. Monday in the K-Mart parking lot. “I have never been involved in anything like that,” said Walker. “My first response was to tell them to get behind me and I would get them to the hospital.” Karla White and her mother, Lisa Worsham, were headed to Magnolia Regional Health Center when the baby decided it was time to come into the world. “I told my mother the baby was coming,” recalled White of the trip from Tishomingo to Corinth. “I am just glad the officer was near and I appreciate him being there.” Walker was across the road from K-Mart when the call was

BOONEVILLE — Booneville school district leaders are awaiting an update on next year’s state budget process and looking forward to the pending release of new state test data. Superintendent Dr. Todd English told the district’s board he expects to see the release of Governor Phil Bryant’s proposed budget and the joint legislative committee’s budget recommendations in the near future. He said the district is on good financial footing and once the budget recommendations are released they can begin planning in detail for the next fiscal year’s district budget. The district also continues to move forward with its strategic planning effort, with committee meetings scheduled to begin next month as they work toward creating a detailed plan focused on preparing the district to meet the challenges and opportunities of the next five year period, said English.

MDOC will close 3 community centers The Mississippi Department of Corrections says three more community work centers could be closing, bringing the number to five centers closing in one year. The agency closed the Alcorn County Community Work Center in November and the Jefferson County Community Work Center in May. The next work centers to close are in Bolivar, Yazoo and Jackson counties starting in January. Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher says chronic staffing shortages continue to be an issue and pay is likely a key factor. The agency is also having trouble staffing the three state prisons and retaining adequate staff for its probation and parole offices. According to MDOC, the average pay for a corrections officer is $25,968.72. The agency’s turnover rate for corrections officer is 47 percent. The average pay for a probation/parole agent is $32,520.02. There is a 21 percent vacancy rate for parole/probation agents. Fisher says lawmakers in the 2015 session granted his request for exemption from the state Personnel Board so he could reorganize MDOC. He intends to seek another year of exemption from state personnel rules as he requests that a law be amended to make him able to fund and sustain a pay raise for employees.
Painting unveiled of old courthouse IUKA — The Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society recently unveiled a new painting by Corinth artist Tony Bullard. The painting features the original three-story Tishomingo County courthouse built following the Civil War. In the oil-on-canvas landscape, Bullard portrayed the original courthouse and it’s Romanesque Revival architecture. The printing also shows the third story of the courthouse, which was destroyed by fire in 1886. The new paining features the original bell tower, which officials are currently in the grant application process in order to secure funding to add the bell tower back to the courthouse.

The show will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 4. The Halloran Centre is located at 203 South Main Street in Memphis. John Lennon’s sister Julia Baird, author and Director of the Cavern Club will be in attendance selling and signing copies of her book Imagine This: Growing Up with My Brother John Lennon at the general merchandise table before, during and after the show. This is Baird’s third tour with the band. The Mersey Beatles are no ordinary tribute band. The lads grew up as childhood and schoolmate friends, just like the Beatles. They are the official Beatles tribute band representing the City of Liverpool, and from 2002 to 2012, they were the resident tribute band at The Cavern Club, the nightclub in Liverpool, England, where The Beatles perfected their act before launching a global rock music revolution in the 1960s.

MSU educator helps feed a community STARKVILLE — One in nine people on earth do not have enough to eat; in America it’s one in seven; and in Mississippi, one in four. At Mississippi State University, global food security is a major research priority, and a large part of that focus means minding the gap right here. Many at Mississippi State are doing just that, including Christine Coker, an associate research and extension professor. Along with her role at MSU and volunteer activities, Coker clearly does her part to feed the community. Almost 700,000
Mississippians are food insecure. Nearly 20 percent of residents in Harrison County, where Coker concentrates her efforts, are considered food insecure – that is almost 40,000 mouths to feed. In addition to teaching schools, students and educators about horticulture and introducing children to farming as horticultural specialist at the Coastal Research and Extension Center in Biloxi, Coker also works closely with the Harrison County Soil and Water Conservation District, an agency that offers minigrants for school and community gardens. So far, she has participated in the start-up of more than 30 gardens. The gardens are one component of Coker’s research in the university’s Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station to evaluate availability of local foods for schools and communities. Coker also conducts vegetable variety trials research and evaluation of vegetable production practices, such as high tunnels. Improving food systems is a priority and point of pride for Coker. Most recently, she became an MSU representative on a new committee organized by the Southern Rural Development Center. Representatives from 13 southern land-grant universities will discuss local food systems and evaluate food production from a whole systems approach; assessing areas like production, farm-to-school and even food waste management.

Tax fairness could be issue in push for funds JACKSON — Mississippi could get smoother roads, lower taxes and a tax system more tilted to favor the rich than it does today. That’s one possible outcome of a “tax shift” that some people Jeff Amy are discussing as the 2016 legisColumnist lative approaches. It would work something like this: lawmakers would vote to raise fuel or other taxes to repave roads and rebuild bridges. But at the same time they would vote to cut other taxes, either Mississippi’s corporate franchise tax or some or all of its personal income tax. The tax cut might even be big enough to outweigh the $375 million tax increase proposed Friday by the Mississippi Economic Council for transportation. Joe Sanderson Jr., who led a transportation study for MEC, the state’s Chamber of Commerce, made the idea explicit in a speech Friday. “There are current conversations about phasing out the corporate franchise tax and reducing personal income taxes to stimulate economic growth,” Sanderson said. “There is no reason why a strategy for boosting our state’s economy through improving highways, roads and bridges, cannot be combined with efforts to make our tax climate more competitive.” Answering questions after the speech, he told reporters that “you could come up with a net tax decrease.” That echoes the position of Gov. Phil Bryant, who in a statement Friday on the MEC report, said that “any tax increase must be offset by corresponding tax cuts.” But unless the tax cuts proposed are drastically different than those considered in the Legislature last year, people in lower income brackets could benefit less than people in higher income brackets. Here’s why. Last year, Republican lawmakers tried to eliminate Mississippi’s franchise tax, and to reduce or eliminate its personal income tax. After granting more than $350 million of tax cuts to businesses since 2011, even some Republicans were uneasy about eliminating Mississippi’s corporate franchise tax, which charges a 2.5 percent levy on business property or capital employed. Business groups, especially banks and manufacturers, dislike franchise taxes because they apply not only when a business is profitable but also when it’s losing money. Business groups including MEC have long aimed to eliminate Mississippi’s franchise tax. According to Tax Analysts, a publication on taxes, 18 states impose a franchise tax. Income tax reductions also fall unevenly, because many low-income households pay little or no income taxes. A plan to phase out income taxes on incomes under $18,300 proposed last year would have been more beneficial to the highest earning households. The lowest-earning 20 percent of taxpayers, making $16,000 or less, would have saved an average of $13 a year under the plan, according to an analysis by the liberal-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. Those earning in the top 95 percent to 99 percent of households, with incomes from $156,000 to $324,000, would collect an average of $631 a year. That’s in part because high-income households are much more likely to have two people earning large salaries. There’s some academic disagreement about how hard gasoline taxes hit various economic levels of society. Some studies have found that the poorest households, because they’re less likely to own a car, aren’t as hard hit. But that might be less true in Mississippi, where the rural nature of the state and low public transit use mean people tend to be more dependent on cars to get around. Everyone agrees that richer people pay a smaller share of their income for gas, which may mean that middle-class people are hardest hit. Sanderson rejected the idea that a gas tax might hurt poor people more than rich people. “MEC would never endorse something that’s unfair,” he said.

MEC right in call for infrastructure initiative STARKVILLE — The Mississippi Economic Council is spot on in its assessment of the absolute necessity taking action to salvage Mississippi’s crumbling highway and bridge infrastructure with a sensible, sustainable program of repair and maintenance for both state-owned and local assets. MEC says Mississippi needs $375 million in annual maintenance and repair funds just to maintain Mississippi’s existing road and bridge infrastructure. Their study points to the need to replace 138 state posted bridges, all timber bridges, and then another 424 deficient state bridges over the next decade. The state’s “chamber of commerce, MEC is a business group with an enviable track record of advocating positive public policy initiatives that have longterm impacts and that pay long-term benefits. What I like about MEC is that they take a “show me” approach to formulating their public policy recommendations. MEC does research without preconceived notions. They ask hard questions about hard topics. And, if warranted, MEC makes courageous and unpopular policy recommendations including calling for higher
taxes when public policy issues dictate. Such is the case with the MEC BlueSid Salter print Mississippi TransColumnist portation Infrastructure Task Force. The long and short of their study of Mississippi road and bridge problems came to these two observation: First, between 1980 and 2000, Mississippi spent $3.3 billion building some 1,077 miles of fourlane highways but funded that construction with no money provided for maintenance and repair. Second, state road funds are generated by a flat tax. Mississippi’s 18.4 cents per gallon state gas tax (CPG) is a flat tax. When we paid $3.965 a gallon for gas in 2008, the tax was 18.4 CPG. When we pay $1.72 per gallon at the pump this week, the state tax is still 18.4 CPG. The only way the state takes in more revenue in gas taxes is for the volume of gas consumed to increase. That reality is exacerbated by the realities that road and bridge maintenance and repair costs are increasing while fuel efficiency improvements and other factors are keeping
consumption at best flat as well. Helps from the federal government isn’t likely, either. Despite some movement on Capitol Hill in November, federal fuel tax revenues face exactly the same constraints as does Mississippi’s fuel tax. The federal gas tax — also currently at 18.4 cents per gallon — doesn’t raise enough revenue to sustain the current transportation infrastructure or to expand and improve it. Joe F. Sanderson, chairman and CEO of Sanderson Farms, chaired the task force and summed up the problem succinctly: ““Roads across our state are beginning to crumble. Bridges aren’t safe. This is happening on our stateowned system – as well as with our local roads and bridges.” The study didn’t advocate a specific funding strategy, but noted several funding possibilities, including raising the state’s gas tax, raising car tag prices incrementally, a general sales tax increase, levying a sales tax on gas and diesel fuel, or an excise tax on rental cars. Republican Central District Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall, a conservative if ever one served
in Mississippi state government and a former lawmaker, has led the charge on state government facing up to the state’s deteriorating roads and bridges and the need to reverse that trend before it becomes even more of a fiscal challenge. For the last several years, Hall has not missed an opportunity to raise the issue and call for a tax increase to fix the problem. Those who dismiss any talk of a tax hike to address highways and bridges should pick a direction and start driving in any direction. You won’t need to look for signs at the state line, for the improvement in the roads and bridges you travel on will signal that you’ve left Mississippi. As MEC and their leadership noted, highways are an economic development issue and could well prove the difference as our state tries to compete for more and better manufacturing jobs. That should provide a ton of motivation to find a solution – as if making the roads and bridges our children and grandchildren are riding on better and safer isn’t enough motivation.

There won’t be a brokered national convention All around the political blogosphere you can find folks smacking their lips over the prospect of a “brokered” Republican national convention. They look forward to the spectacle of delegates assembling in Cleveland with no candidate having a majority, of multiple ballots with governors, floor demonstrations after nominating speeches, congressmen running as favorite sons and delegates demanding that state delegations be polled. Political junkies relish the idea of watching hours of convention proceedings with the same frisson of ignorance about the outcome that makes sports broadcasts the only live television still commanding a large audience. I have bad news for those looking forward to a brokered convention. It. Isn’t. Going. To. Happen. That’s because it’s impossible for party national conventions to serve the same function they did for more than a century after the first Democratic National Convention assembled in Baltimore in May 1832. Over those years the national convention was a unique communications medium, the only place where politicians from

across the nation could meet faceto-face, conduct confidential negotiations Michael and reach an Barone agreement. In those Columnist days, men of business – and the few women of business – communicated with each other in written letters. Presidents and party chairmen, like business executives and middle managers, spent their days reading their correspondence and dictating responses to stenographers and secretaries. At the end of the day they would proofread the letters, sign them and see that they were put in the mail. One such man of business was James A. Farley, Franklin Roosevelt’s postmaster general and 1932 and 1936 campaign manager, who signed all his correspondence in green ink. In his memoirs Farley wrote how he arrived at Chicago’s Union Station for the 1932 national convention with no idea how many delegates his candidate had or how he could put together enough votes for the nomination. There was no medium in
which he could engage in serious negotiations except face-to-face during the convention. Farley also explained how he correctly predicted that Roosevelt would carry 46 of 48 states in 1936. During the fall campaign he took the extraordinary step of placing a long-distance phone call every week to one well-informed politician in each non-Southern state. To double check, he placed another long-distance call to each the weekend before the election. Long-distance calls in those days were placed through operators and were expensive – $1 a minute when average earnings were maybe $50 a week. The first direct distance dialing call was not placed until 1951. They weren’t available in major cities until the late 1950s and countrywide in the 1960s. In those days politicians outside of Congress didn’t see much of each other in person. Train travel was time-consuming and plane travel hazardous. Regularly scheduled jet travel began when the Boeing 707 was launched in 1958. It’s no coincidence, then, that the last multi-ballot national convention was

in 1952, when Democrats nominated Adlai Stevenson. As long-distance calls and jet flights became more common, some of the communication that could occur only at the convention started happening earlier. So what happens if no Republican candidate emerges with a delegate majority from the 2016 primaries and caucuses? Does everybody wait for the convention to see who emerges as the nominee? The answer is yes – if you do a few things first, such as ban long-distance telephone calls, ban jet travel, ban media delegate counts and shut down the Internet. Then the national convention can function as national conventions did through the 1950s. Otherwise, the negotiations and shenanigans that used to go on only at national conventions will be happening all around us – as they already are and have been for many months.

True spirit of Christmas is found in giving BY JIMMY REED Columnist
“But, Dad, we ginned cotton straight through Thanksgiving,” I moaned. “Can’t we at least get off a few days for Christmas?” “Son, we finished picking and ginning the crop early last year, and you hunted all winter. Be thankful for that. Fall weather has not cooperated this season. The gin has got to run — can to can’t. This dry spell won’t last, and we simply cannot afford to have cotton pickers stopped, waiting for empty trailers, when the ground is dry and the sun is shining.”
It was a time when picking two rows of cotton at once was harvesting’s latest technology. It was a time when old-fashioned flat belts and line shafts powered gin machinery. It was a time when dumping enough seed cotton to make fifteen or more 500-pound bales in modern, hydraulicallypowered boxes known as module builders was unheard of. Downtime for repairs or the threat of bad weather put unrelenting pressure on gin crews. Trailers had to be available, meaning my crew and I had to roll night and day, sleeping in
snatches. When I returned from overseas military duty, Dad hired me as his farm and gin manager, and because he had run the gin for twenty years, he knew full well what we faced. It was a cold Christmas Eve morning, and my lifelong friend and mentor, Jaybird, and I huddled around the gin office heater. “Well, Jaybird,” I said, “it’s Christmas Eve … the weather forecast is good and the gin yard is covered with full trailers. We’ve got no choice but to run around the clock. I know the gin crew will
dread hearing that.” “Hit’ll be over ’fore you know it, and we’ll be in de woods, hunting.” His words brought little comfort. Then the office door creaked open and a whitehaired old lady, stooped by years of toil, entered. It was my grandmother. Almost ninety years old, she lived alone in the commissary store across from the gin, which she had managed since I was a little boy. Grandmother was renowned for her strong work ethic, and outright famous for her “cathead” biscuits. Well before
dawn, she had cooked a batch for us. “Eat,” she ordered. Inspiration is a beautiful thing, especially when it comes at precisely the right moment. Here we were, complaining about having to work during the holidays, and here was a frail old woman, who had risen hours before we had, to stand before her stove and prepare this Southern delicacy just for us. Sheepishly, Jaybird and I ate and fell to our tasks. In Christmas morning’s predawn hours, as I brewed a pot of coffee, I saw lights flicker on in Grandmother’s apart-
ment behind the store. Later, as frost glittered in dawn’s first light, I watched as she slowly plodded toward the gin, carrying a large tray of catheads, piping hot. When she left, Jaybird pointed at her and said, “Son, what dat lady jes’ did, sacrificin’ fuh others, is de true spirit o’ Christmas.” (Daily Corinthian columnist and Oxford resident Jimmy Reed is a newspaper columnist, author and college teacher.

Booneville schools top first of new state assessments Special to the Daily Corinthian
JACKSON — The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) recently released results from the first assessments administered in grades 3 through 8 that measured Mississippi’s students’ progress toward the academic goals laid out in the Mississippi College and Career Ready Standards. Booneville School District students turned in some of the highest scores in the sate. They had greater than 45 percent of students scoring Level 4 or higher on math assessments for grades 3-8. Dr. Todd English, superintendent of Booneville School District, said his district saw positive results because of the collective effort of the community. “Everyone worked together to provide the rigor required for our students to be successful. We had tremendous buy
in from the students, parents, teachers and administrators,” English said. “The higher standards required higher expectations than normal for all parties involved. We succeeded together.” These standards were designed to ensure students develop the skills and knowledge they need in jobs and in college. As anticipated, student performance dropped from previous years’ performance levels in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics. For the 2014-2015 school year, assessments from the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) replaced the Mississippi Curriculum Test (MCT2). Statewide, nearly a third of students in grades 3-8 (30 percent) met or exceeded expectations for English language arts and less than a third of stu-
dents (26 percent) met or exceeded expectations in mathematics. “The PARCC assessments were far more demanding than previous state tests. The level of rigor was much closer to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), and our test results reflected that. These results mark a new starting point for our students. With continued instruction and support, we expect to see test scores to increase over time,” said Dr. Carey Wright, state superintendent of education. According to PARCC, the students scoring at Level 4 or 5, the top two performance categories, are meeting or exceeding expectations. The scores suggest that students have a thorough understanding of grade-level content and are on the right track to being ready for college-level course-
work. Students scoring at Level 3 are approaching expectations and know a significant amount of content, but may need additional assistance in mastering all aspects of the standards. Students scoring a Level 1 or 2 need more assistance in learning the content and are in need of greater supports. Following national trends, about a quarter to a third (23 to 36 percent) of Mississippi students scored at Level 3, which indicates a large number of students are at the cusp of meeting expectations. “I am proud of all of the students who performed extremely well on this challenging test and am encouraged that so many others demonstrated the potential to move into the highest two performance levels,” Wright said. “I am especially proud of Mississippi teachers, who worked incredibly hard over the past several years
to increase the level of rigor in their classrooms and to help their students reach high academic standards.” The statewide results from PARCC provide parents and educators information on one measure of determining whether students are learning what they need to learn. When combined with student grades and teacher reports, annual assessments provide important information about student progress. Like the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), Mississippi assessments now require students to reach a higher bar than on former state tests. As with any change in standards and assessments, there is a period of transition as students adjust to higher expectations. In past years, there has been a large gap between the percentage of students
meeting expectations on Mississippi’s state assessments and the percent achieving proficiency on NAEP tests. NAEP assessments are administered to a random sample of students nationwide in the 4th and 8th grade. While previous state tests showed 50 to 70 percent of students meeting expectations, NAEP tests showed proficiency levels were actually in the 20 to 25 percent range. The 2014-2015 PARCC results close the gap between the results of state tests and NAEP. In the 2015-2016 school year, Mississippi will be administering the Mississippi Assessment Program (MAP) – which will replace the PARCC test. MAP will continue to provide meaningful feedback to parents, teachers, and students and let them know students’ progress on the path to college and careers.
ACT, Kindergarten Readiness Assessment scores released Special to the Daily Corinthian
JACKSON — School and district-level passing rates for the spring 2015 ACT for juniors and the fall 2015 Kindergarten Readiness Assessment are now available to the public. The Mississippi Department of Education released preliminary results in September for the first statewide administration of the ACT for all high school juniors, revealing an average composite score of 17.6. The average score for the 254 Alcorn School District juniors who took the test was 18.6, while the 134 Corinth School District juniors had an average score of 18.7. The ACT is designed to measure the skills high school teachers teach and what instructors of entry-
level college courses expect. The Mississippi Legislature appropriated $1.3 million for all juniors to take the college entrance exam during the 20142015 school year. ACT is a predictive measure that indicates how well a student may perform in a college-level course. It is not a measure of content knowledge. The ACT tests students in four core areas – English, math, reading and science. Results are used to determine college readiness benchmark scores. A benchmark score is the minimum score needed on an ACT subject-area test to indicate a 50 percent chance of obtaining a B or higher or about a 75 percent chance of obtaining a C or higher in the corresponding credit-
bearing college courses, which include English Composition, Algebra, Social Science and Biology. The results show that 41 percent of juniors met the benchmark score in English as compared to 16 percent meeting the science benchmark score. Overall, only 9 percent of juniors met all four college readiness benchmark scores. “With this first-year administration of the ACT to all juniors, we now have a baseline for measuring student progress over time,” said Dr. Carey Wright, state superintendent of education. “These ACT results also provide schools with an analysis about course completion patterns linked to ACT performance and help
them make programming decisions for their students’ senior year.” Students who scored just below the benchmark score are eligible to take Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) college preparatory courses during their senior year to exempt them from remedial classes in college and allowing them to enter credit-bearing courses. The fall 2015 Kindergarten Readiness Assessment results also show the need for improvement, revealing that two out of every three kindergarteners continue to enter school unprepared to learn. The Corinth-AlcornPrentiss Early Learning Collaborative spring 2015 average score was 524, compared to 435 in the
fall of 2014. “Once again, this year’s results underscore the need to increase access to high-quality early childhood education for children throughout the state,” Wright said. “High-quality early childhood education makes a tremendous impact on children’s social, emotional and academic growth and gives them a strong start to success in school and life.” Approximately 38,000 Kindergarteners throughout the state took the STAR Early Literacy exam during the first month of the 2015-2016 school year. Close to 64 percent of students scored below the 530 benchmark score that indicates a student has mastered at least 70 percent of early reading
skills. The state average score was 502. The assessment evaluates skills such as the ability to recognize letters and match letters to their sounds and a student’s recognition that print flows from left to right. The exam produces reports for parents and teachers that detail each child’s early reading skills. Teacher reports also include diagnostic information and instructional plans for every student. Research from a fouryear study show that 84 percent of students at the beginning of Kindergarten with a score of 530 or above on the STAR Early Literacy exam are on track to become proficient readers by the end of 3rd grade.

Miss Universe pageant, Sheriff says driver told valet host sorry for mistake to call 911 after Vegas crash The Associated Press The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The Miss Universe pageant and host Steve Harvey doubled down on the apologies Monday after an excruciating live television moment — announcing incorrectly that Miss Colombia had won and then taking the crown from her head to give to a rival from the Philippines. The fallout from Sunday’s show made Harvey an online symbol of “oops” moments, drew a reaction from Colombia’s president and even a gloating tweet from Donald Trump, the pageant’s former owner. As televised on Fox, the contest was down to Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo of Colombia and Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines when Harvey, a first-time Miss Universe host, proclaimed Gutierrez the winner after a long dramatic pause. Music swelled, Gutierrez was fitted for a sash,
given flowers and a crown was placed on her head. That made it two straight Miss Universe winners for Colombia, where the pageants are taken seriously. She bathed in applause for nearly two minutes before Harvey slowly made his way back onto the stage. “I have to apologize,” he said. “The first runner-up is Colombia.” The camera switched to a bewildered-looking Wurtzbach, who came back on the stage to get the crown as the same celebratory music repeated. Harvey said she’d be taking her first walk as Miss Universe, but mostly she stood immobile. A woman stood in between the two contestants, trying to comfort Arevalo by rubbing her back. Two minutes later, the comedian who hosts his own daytime talk show as well as the game show “Family Feud” returned, saying “let me just take control of this.”
WOULD YOU DO WHAT HE DID? If you were told exactly what to do to inherit eternal life, would you do it? In the case of the rich young ruler, he did not (Mark 10:17-25). As Jesus was preparing for a journey, the young man runs up to Jesus, bows and asks what he should do to inherit eternal life. Jesus responded with, seemingly, the standard answer, most of which was straight from the Ten Commandments. The young man’s response is intriguing. “And he said to Him, ‘Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up” (Mark 10:20). He is saying that he is already doing those things. It makes me wonder why he even asked. It appears that something inside him knew
Harvey explained on the air that he misread the card he was given with the names of the winners. Colombia was listed as the first runner-up, and he’d been confused with how it was written. He held up the card for the camera. “It is my mistake,” he said. “Still, it’s a great night. Please don’t hold it against the ladies. We feel very badly, but it’s still a great night.” Harvey later tweeted an apology to the women and viewers. “I feel terrible,” he wrote. The Miss Universe organization also issued an apology on Monday. Wurtzbach later said she was happy to win, but confused and concerned for her rival. She said she tried to approach her backstage, but the Colombian contestant was crying and surrounded by a crowd of women. “I did not take the crown from her,” Wurtzbach said. Celebrations quickly turned to anger in Colombia, where the hashtag “Respect the Crown” was the country’s top trending topic on Twitter. Even the president was upset. “They put the crown on her head,” President Juan Manuel Santos said Monday. “The photos are there to prove it. To me, as a Colombian, she is still Miss Universe.”
LAS VEGAS — A woman with her 3-yearold daughter in the car smashed into crowds of visitors on the Las Vegas Strip, then drove to a hotel and told a valet to call 911 after killing a woman from Arizona and injuring dozens of others, authorities said Monday. People jumped on the car and banged on its windows, but Lakeisha N. Holloway, 24, would not stop driving on the sidewalk, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told reporters. Video appeared to show the crash in front of the Paris and Planet Hollywood casino-hotels was intentional, he said. The 1996 Oldsmobile sedan was fully on the sidewalk twice Sunday night, including once when it traveled for 200 feet, police said. The child in the car was not hurt. The crash happened on a busy stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard across from the dancing water fountains of the Bellagio hotel-casino where visitors crowd sidewalks as they head from one casino to another. The Miss Universe pageant was being held nearby at Planet Hollywood. Holloway drove a few blocks to a hotel, parked and asked a valet to call
police, saying she had run over some people on the Strip, Lombardo said. She was stoic when she was arrested, he said. Lombardo said police did not have a definitive motive but that they believe she had a falling out with the father of her child before the crash. A drug recognition expert on the scene determined Holloway was under the influence of a “stimulant,” but blood test results were pending. Holloway last lived in Oregon and had been in Las Vegas for about a week, where she was believed to be homeless and living in the car, authorities said. She faces a charge of murder with a deadly weapon and is being held without bail, prosecutors say. District Attorney Steve Wolfson said he also is considering a slew of other charges. “When a person drives a 2,000-pound-plus motor vehicle intentionally onto a sidewalk, killing and injuring scores of people, that’s murder,” Wolfson said. At least 35 people injured in the crash were taken to hospitals, including three people still in critical condition with head injuries, officials said The crash killed Jessica Valenzuela, 32, of
Buckeye, Arizona, according to Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg. The suburban Phoenix woman was visiting Las Vegas with her husband. Victims hailed from Oregon, Florida, Colorado, California, Washington, Mexico, and Quebec, Canada. Five were Canadian citizens and four were Oregon college students in town to compete in a wrestling tournament. Justin Cochrane, a visitor from Santa Barbara, California, said he was having dinner at a sidewalk restaurant outside the Paris hotel when he saw the car smashing into pedestrians. “It was just massacring people,” he said, adding that the car appeared to be going 30 to 40 mph. The Oldsmobile then went farther down the road and drove back into another crowd of pedestrians on the sidewalk, he said. Cochrane said he couldn’t understand why the car went into the crowd a second time. “Why would it slow to go around and then accelerate again?” he said. “I thought, ‘It’s a crazy person.’” Cochrane said he saw children and adults injured on the ground as the car drove away.
that he needed to do more. Mark’s account tells us that Jesus, “looking at him, had love for him” (Mark 10:21). At this point, we do not know what Jesus was thinking. It could be the case that He was happy to be talking with someone who knew that there was more to serving God than just the outward show of righteousness. The self-righteous acts of the religiously elite of the day drew a lot of negative attention from Jesus. “But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe

nothing. Do you remember the story of the rich man who “yielded plentifully” and made plans to build bigger barns to store his goods (see Luke 12:1521)? I wonder what kind of barns we have, and I wonder how big our barns are and if we have ever needed to build bigger ones.

Do you have a “barn” that houses your faith? How big is that barn? Have you ever needed to pull down your “faith barn,” in order to build a bigger barn, or are you still using the same barn? Do you have a “barn” that houses your love for God and love for your brethren? How big is that barn? Have you ever needed to pull down your “love barn,” in order to build a bigger barn, or are you still using the same barn you’ve always had? Do you have a “barn” that houses your thanksgiving? How big is it? Have you ever needed to pull down your “thanksgiving barn” to build a bigger one, or are you still using the same one?

Man drives 38 miles wrong way, crashes SOLANA BEACH, Calif. — California Highway Patrol officers say they don’t know why a 29-year-old motorist from the San Diego area crossed the U.S.Mexico border only to turn around at a police checkpoint and speed off. After a 38-mile, 100 mph wrong-way run, his car crashed headon into another car on Interstate 5. The wreck killed the man and a couple. Sgt. Curtis Martin says it didn’t appear to involve drugs or alcohol, and there was no evidence of weapons or drug money. Martin says a lot of people were on the freeway before Sunday’s fiery early morning crash, but they managed to swerve around him. Martin didn’t have the couple’s hometown but said they were related, had luggage, were using a rental car and so were beginning or ending a trip. Â
Police probe threats that closed schools NASHUA, N.H. — Police are investigating “detailed� threats to hurt students and teachers that led to the closure of schools in the state’s second largest district Monday. The threats to the Nashua school district were made by email to an administrator Sunday and were specific enough for officials to shut all the public schools. “I regret any difficulties this creates for working parents but safety must remain our first priority,� school Superintendent Mark Conrad said in a statement posted on the district’s website. Conrad said that the threats were specific to Monday and that he expects schools will reopen Tuesday and Wednesday before closing for the Christmas break. He called the threats “detailed� in their description. Some private schools in the southern New Hampshire city also closed Monday, though police say only the two public high schools
were mentioned in the threat. Nashua serves about 11,500 students, including more than 3,500 in the high schools. The closing comes less than a week after threats of violence shuttered schools in Los Angeles, the nation’s second largest district. A rash of threats followed in several other large school districts, including New York City, Miami, Houston and Las Vegas. Most of the school districts remained open, though some added police patrols. The threats in New Hampshire also came with the country still on edge following the killing of 14 people in what authorities say was a terrorist attack Dec. 2 in San Bernardino, California. Â
New trial scheduled for Baltimore officer BALTIMORE — A Baltimore judge has scheduled a new trial date following the mistrial of one of six officers charged in connection with the death of Freddie Gray. William Porter’s first trial ended in a hung jury last week. His new trial is scheduled to begin June 13. The other five officers will be tried before that, beginning next month. Porter faces manslaughter, assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. Gray died April 19, a week after he suffered a broken neck in the back of a police transport wagon. Prosecutors say Porter is partially responsible because he didn’t buckle Gray into a seat belt or immediately call for an ambulance when Gray indicated he needed medical attention. Â
Fan names himself after Darth Vader CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — Darth Vader is a tattooed 43-year-old former Marine who owns a gym and is raising funds online for a bone marrow transplant. The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester reports that a western New York man legally changed his name last year to match the villain in the “Star Wars� films.

The former Eric Welch, of Canandaigua, says he grew up in foster homes and didn’t have strong family ties to his name. The “Star Warsâ€? fan says he chose Darth Vader for his new name because the character carries an aura of leadership and toughness. He tests his own toughness by competing in half-marathons and endurance events. He was diagnosed with leukemia in 2002. Â
Coach found dead in jail took own life INDIANAPOLIS — A coroner says an Indianapolis gymnastics coach who had been facing child pornography and molestation charges when he was found dead in his jail cell took his own life. Chief Deputy Marion County Coroner Alfarena Ballew said Monday in a statement that 49-yearold Marvin Sharp died from asphyxia due to suffocation. His manner of death is listed as a suicide. Sharp was found dead Sept. 19 in his Marion County Jail cell. The USA Gymnastics 2010 Coach of the Year was arrested Aug. 24 on four counts of child molestation and three counts of sexual misconduct with a minor. Federal prosecutors later charged Sharp in a superseding indictment with nine counts of producing child pornography since 2002 involving six female students as young as 6 or 7 years old. Â

7th-grader dies when hunting rifle goes off MAGEE — The family of a seventh-grade boy says he was killed when his hunting rifle accidentally discharged when he tripped on some stairs. WAPT-TV reports that Jacob Allen was killed Saturday morning in Simpson County. The family tells the television station that Allen was leaving his grandmother’s house when he tripped on some stairs and it caused the rifle to fire. The family says he and his brother were out hunting early Saturday morning before the incident. The family called it a “freak accident.â€? Allen was a student at Magee Middle School. Â
Hitchhiker stabbed driver with syringe D’IBERVILLE — Police say they are searching for a hitchhiker accused of stabbing a driver who picked him up in the neck with a syringe Monday morning. D’Iberville Police Capt. Clay Jones says the victim noticed a man walking along the shoulder of Mississippi 67 southbound and stopped to give him a ride, according to the Sun Herald. When the suspect asked to be dropped off a short while later, police say the suspect pulled out a syringe and stabbed the victim in the neck and ran off. The victim was taken to a hospital for an evaluation. Â
Passengers stuck on SeaWorld tower
Bok Homa Casino celebrates 5 years
ORLANDO, Fla. — SeaWorld Orlando officials said rescuers were working to remove guests from the Sky Tower after it stopped working. The park announced on its official Twitter page Monday afternoon that they were working closely with Orange County Fire Rescue. Officials said they remained in constant communication with the guests and team members on the ride, and all passengers were safe. Television images showed the passengers waving to people outside.
HEIDELBERG — On Dec. 20, 2010, the slots were spinning for the first time at Bok Homa Casino — and it was an occasion to remember, with parachuting Santas and an appearance by “Mr. Las Vegas� himself, Wayne Newton. This year marks the fifth anniversary for the casino on Choctaw tribal lands and the slots are still spinning and table games have been added. Officials have even more plans for Bok Homa, according to the Hattiesburg American. When it opened, the 27,000-square-foot casino run by the Mississippi
Band of Choctaw Indians had had to weather countless efforts by local and state officials — including then-Gov. Haley Barbour — to stop construction of the casino. Officials cited legal, health and safety concerns. Today, the casino is expanding. In October, Bok Homa added table games to its lineup and it plans to add more table games in the next few months. Sonny Johnson, interim president and CEO at Bok Homa, says bringing in table games has provided a boost in attendance at Bok Homa. The casino did not release information such as the number of annual visitors and the geographic area from which the casino is pulling. Casinos owned and operated by Choctaws also do not report winnings to the state. In addition to table games, Bok Homa built an events center in trailers right outside the casino building within the past year. “This events center allows us to hold a lot more of events on site here, such as rewards events for our players, and it is even where we trained our new dealers when we were bringing in table games earlier this year,â€? Johnson said. Â
Mayor’s race leader: No Lumberton runoff LUMBERTON — The top finisher in Lumberton’s mayoral race says there won’t be a runoff because all three candidates ran as independents. A spokeswoman for the Mississippi Secretary Of State’s Office tells
The Hattiesburg American that Alderman Kent Crider is wrong. Spokeswoman Anna Moak said in an email that municipal special elections go to a runoff two weeks later if nobody gets a majority, so Griffith and Crider will be in a runoff Dec. 29. Crider says the rule applies only to candidates who are in a political party. He got 146 votes to 126 for Jonathan Griffith and 30 for Jerry Walters, with 10 affidavit votes not yet counted. Crider says Lumberton’s 2009 election had similar results among three independents, and the attorney general said the one with most votes should be declared winner. Â
Troubled Head Start fires teachers, staff GULFPORT — The new operator for the troubled Head Start program in Harrison County has fired the teachers and staff that had worked for Gulf Coast Community Action Agency. Last week the Gulf Coast Community Action Agency lost its federal Head Start designation and $9 million in federal money after there were recurring allegations of child abuse or corporal punishment and that the agency had failed to report those incidents to state authorities. WLOX-TV reports that the announcement about the firings was made Friday. The agency now overseeing the head start program, Community Development Institute, says the Head Start employees can re-apply for their jobs on Monday.

Safety first for Autoliv Swedish automotive safety company Autoliv Inc. is among the biggest beneficiaries of the largest auto recall in U.S. history. Among other products, Autoliv makes air bag inflators, devices that instantly fill the bags to protect people in crashes. Inflators made by Takata Corp. have been malfunctioning, touching off the recall of 19.2 million vehicles in the U.S. and about 40 million worldwide. They can explode with too much force in a crash, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing metal fragments. Eight people have died worldwide. Honda, Takata’s biggest customer, has lined up Autoliv, TRW Automotive and Daicel to make replacement inflators for the Takata recall. Autoliv expects to make 20 million replacement inflators this year and next.
ALV Quarterly revenue
Year-to-date, Autoliv shares have jumped about 17 percent while the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has fallen slightly. Net income is down due to currency fluctuations and record spending on research and development. The company expects organic sales growth – excluding acquisitions and divestitures – to be 7 percent this year, with replacement inflators accounting for 1 to 2 percentage points of the increase. Morningstar analyst Richard Hilgert says Autoliv’s active safety technology, which prevents crashes, is a bigger draw for investors than the replacement inflator business. “A lot of the company’s success really isn’t going to be coming from the Takata air bag situation so much as it is going to be coming from increasing penetration in active safety technologies,” Hilgert said.

Reader asks what do to about daughter-in-law Dear Pennsylvania: Dear Annie: Please help Annie’s These sad circumus with an upcoming distances are only too lemma. Our son, daughterWe wish we in-law and grandchildren Mailbox common. had a magic potion to all live in another state. We spend Christmas with them every other year. In October, our daughter-in-law told our son she was leaving him, but would wait until after Christmas to tell the children so as not to upset them during the holidays. She has decided that she would rather run around with her single girlfriends from work, but right now, she still remains in the home they own. She has already said she does not want to take the kids and is leaving them with our son. She did the same thing five years ago, but then decided to return and our son let her back into their lives. Our daughter-in-law knows that we are aware of their situation. How can we possibly give the same very generous Christmas gift to someone we know is walking out the door on Jan. 1? — Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: You do not have to give your daughter-in-law the same gift you have in the past. You don’t, in fact, have to be generous to anyone, and can decide only to give presents to the children. However, since Ms. Flighty has left before and returned, there is a good pos-
sibility she will do the same thing again. If so, will your stingier gift create a problem at that time? We suggest you talk to your son about this. Ask him how he would like you to handle the situation, and then follow accordingly. Your daughter-in-law sounds immature and selfish. Be grateful that she prefers to leave the children with their more stable father. Dear Annie: Two months ago, I became a grandmother for the first time. But I’m not allowed to see my grandchild nor is anyone in my family. Yet my son’s father, who has not been in his life for more than 20 years, is apparently welcome to visit the baby any time. This is causing a lot of fighting in my family. My other children are worried that I did something to upset my son and his wife. But believe me, I have done nothing to cause either of them to act this way. I am incredibly hurt and don’t know what to do. — Looking for Answers in Pennsylvania
make family relationships smoother, more loving and more rational, but we don’t. There could be old hurts that you are unaware of. Your son may be looking to include his father now that he is a father himself. Your ex-husband could be poisoning your son’s mind with tales about you, or he could demand that you be excluded. Your daughter-in-law may simply not like you or someone else in the family. Unless you can speak to your son, you will not know. Please try to contact him, without judging or being angry, and ask what you can do to fix this. You might also enlist the help of any friend or family member still in their good graces to get to the bottom of it.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for Staff Writer/Photographer Jebb Johnston’s four-part 2015 Year in Review to be presented Dec. 26-30, followed by the Top Ten Stories of 2015 to be presented on Friday, Jan. 1. Will public corruption be No. 1?
Hospital visitors should practice simple courtesy D E A R ABBY: I have been a nurse for 35 years, and over time, I have noticed a decline in Abigail simple courVan Buren tesy from people who Dear Abby visit friends or relatives in the hospital. Several things visitors should keep in mind: 1. If you don’t know what room the patient has been assigned, ASK. Don’t wander in and out of rooms until you find the right one. 2. Be prepared to give the first and last names of the patient when asking for directions. 3. Abide by the visiting hours and the number of persons allowed into a patient’s room at one time. Remember, patients need dedicated time for treatments and procedures. 4. Do not bring small children to the hospital unless they are visiting their parent or sibling. You needlessly place them at risk by exposing them to infections.
5. Make sure any food you bring to the patient is allowed by the physician. 6. Never question the staff for information regarding the patient’s diagnosis or condition. It is against the law for a health care provider to divulge patient information to an unauthorized individual. Ask the patient. 7. Get permission before plugging in your cellphone charger. 8. When taking the elevator, use public elevators. And when the doors open, stand back and allow the occupants to safely step out before entering. -- PATIENT-CENTERED NURSE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR NURSE: If readers take to heart your suggestions in the spirit they were given, everyone will benefit. That visitors would charge into hospital elevators, wander the halls, barge into patients’ rooms, and drag small children into sickrooms is an indication that there has been not only a decline in courtesy but also common sense. Patients are in hospitals because they need intensive treatment and REST. Creating a party atmosphere in which
the patient is expected to entertain numerous “guests” is physically and emotionally draining and a danger to the person’s health. DEAR ABBY: My ex-husband, “Charles,” is dying, and we have decided to get remarried before he dies so he won’t be alone at the end. (And also so I can receive his VA benefits when he’s gone.) Is this morally wrong? I do take care of him, but not all the time because Charles likes living with his uncle and will remain there after we marry. I guess I just have a little guilt trip going on. -- GUILT TRIP IN TEXAS DEAR GUILT TRIP: Charles earned his benefits. I see nothing morally wrong with people providing for someone they care for after their death. Unless Charles was coerced into his generosity, I can’t see why you should feel guilty. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s easy for you to admit when you’re wrong. What’s hard, however, is being right and simultaneously too classy and/ or compassionate to gloat about it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re in the mood to take a financial risk. The others will protest this investment. Maybe they want to be able to say, “I told you so” if it fails. Don’t let that stop you. Act on your hunch. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a time for thinking, wondering, obsessing -- this isn’t it. It’s know-and-go time. (Also, if you don’t know, don’t go.) The plan is simple, and if you refuse to complicate it, you’ll win. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You get to decide who you are. Don’t let your circumstances impose an idea that you’re not comfortable with. Take control of the scene, even if it means you have to bring your own
scenery. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you don’t know the answer, silence will help you. It takes confidence and wisdom to be quiet, but the truth is that you don’t owe anyone an explanation or a solution. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Give your loved one a responsibility and let that person know that you believe wholeheartedly that he or she can deliver on it. This will help you and simultaneously lift up your loved one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Promises are best made in a somber mood or not at all. Happiness tends to override reason, giving way to bloated promises that later you won’t want to keep. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even the best of relationships benefit from occasional absences. You’ll give space and time and breathing room what you’ll get back is affection, fondness and appreciation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You have the best intentions and a clever plan to match. The moment may bring a different reality than expected. There’s brilliance in the clash between what you expect and what you get. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Whatever the outcome of today’s interaction, there’s something good in it. Maybe that good won’t be so obvious, but it really is there. Mentally dig around until you find it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The most brilliant ideas will come to you while you’re driving, showering, walking, doing dishes or participating in a similarly (relatively) mindless task. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You probably won’t be able to keep yourself from hearing untrue rumors, but at least you won’t spread them. Ignore negativity and something worthwhile will drop in to earn the best of your attention.

Woodson retiring after 18th season The Associated Press
ALAMEDA, Calif. — Oakland Raiders safety Charles Woodson announced Monday he will retire following his 18th NFL season, ending a career that included a Heisman Trophy, a Super Bowl title and numerous other honors. Woodson said he realized late last month that he couldn’t play another season and wanted to announce his decision before playing his final home game Thursday night against San Diego. “I felt it was only right that Raiders fans, my fans, fans that have watched me play for a long time, I’d let them all know that this Thursday night would be the last time in the Coliseum I would be able to run out there in front of our fans at home,” Woodson said at a news conference. Woodson is one of the most accomplished defensive backs to play the game, ranking fifth all-time with 65 interceptions and tied for first with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper with 13 defensive touchdowns. He won the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year award in 1998, AP Defensive Player of the Year in 2009 and is a three-time, first-team All Pro selection. He is still playing at a high level at age 39, despite dealing with a shoulder injury he sustained in the season opener and forced him out for a few plays Sunday after a hard hit on former teammate Randall Cobb. Woodson has played 965 defensive snaps this season and has five interceptions and three fumble recoveries, ranking second in the NFL with eight takeaways.

Ole Miss defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche (5) won’t play in the Sugar Bowl and will forgo his senior season to enter the NFL Draft.
Nkemdiche out for Sugar Bowl, going pro The Associated Press
OXFORD — Mississippi defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche, recently charged with marijuana possession after a 15-foot fall at an Atlanta hotel, won’t play in the Sugar Bowl and will enter the
NFL draft. Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said in a statement Sunday the star junior “will not be joining us” for January 1 game against Oklahoma State. Nkemdiche has apologized
for the incident in Atlanta and said in a statement Sunday he wishes he could have “finished this journey with my team but is “ready to begin the next phase of my life.” Nkemdiche is one of the
country’s top defensive linemen and a second-team AP All-American. He says he “learned a valuable lesson in the last week” and wants to show NFL personnel this is “not representative of my true character.”
Vivians scores 18 as No. 8 MSU women win The Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Mississippi State did just about everything it could to lose during the second half against SMU, thanks to a cold shooting touch and often mediocre defense. But the eighth-ranked Bulldogs still prevailed, beating the Mustangs 72-70 on Monday in the Puerto Rico Classic. Victoria Vivians scored 18 points and Ketara Chapel added 13 as Mississippi State (11-1) won its third game in three days and sixth straight overall. Mississippi State controlled
most of the game and had a 65-54 lead going into the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs suffered through some cold shooting in the fourth quarter, scoring just seven points, but did enough on defense to secure the win. “We just had a lot of things go wrong that could have spelled defeat, but it didn’t,” Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer said. “We found a way to get a stop late.” The Mustangs never led, but trailed just 71-70 with 10 seconds remaining and had the ball. They had three shots to try to win, but Gabrielle
Wilkins’ 3-pointer missed, as did two putback attempts after offensive rebounds. McKenzie Adams led SMU (5-6) with 21 points. Wilkins added 14. The Mustangs were hurt by 19 turnovers and allowed Mississippi State to grab 22 offensive rebounds. Mississippi State’s Vivians shot just 7 of 24 from the field, but added eight rebounds and a team-high four steals. Chinwe Okorie scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Morgan William scored nine points and had a team-high six assists. Vivians started the game
on a roll with 16 points in the first half, shooting 4 of 7 from 3-point range. But she was just 1 of 10 from the field in the second half, which helped SMU slowly climb back into the game. Vivians’ one second-half basket was crucial — she had a steal and layup with just over four minutes remaining to give the Bulldogs a 71-66 lead and slow the Mustangs’ rally. “We had that mindset that we weren’t going to give up and lose,” Chapel said.

Power 5 leagues hope to boost reputations with bowl wins BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer
Nebraska coach Mike Riley remembers a time in the notso-distant past when there wasn’t much emphasis on how each individual conference fared during bowl season. The 62-year-old, in his first season leading the Cornhuskers, said that’s changed in a big way. And the Big Ten arguably has the most to gain with its share of bowl wins. “It’s become a real big deal about how leagues are doing in bowl games, and a big discussion everywhere,” said Riley, whose Cornhuskers face UCLA in the Foster
Farms Bowl on Dec. 26. “You feel that a little bit. I have felt it the last few years more than ever. “We’re proud to carry the Big Ten torch into this game and, I think, to do something to prove who’s the better conference.” The Southeastern Conference has widely been regarded as the nation’s dominant league for the better part of a decade, thanks to winning seven straight national titles from 2006 to 2012. But that reputation is in danger: After an impressive regular season, the Big Ten can seize even more momentum with a good showing during bowl season. The
marquee matchup pits No. 3 Michigan State against No. 2 Alabama in one of the College Football Playoff semifinals on Dec. 31. Michigan State won the Big Ten title and Alabama is the SEC champion. But other high-profile games against power opponents will be closely watched on a huge Jan. 1 for the Big Ten: No. 6 Iowa plays No. 5 Stanford in the Rose Bowl, No. 17 Michigan takes on No. 19 Florida in the Citrus Bowl, No. 7 Ohio State faces No. 8 Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl and No. 12 Northwestern squares off against Tennessee in the Outback Bowl. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz —
who has led the Hawkeyes for 17 years — said the rest of the country is figuring out what he’s known for quite a while. “When you start talking about conferences,” Ferentz said, “this conference has been strong for a long, long time.” Here’s a look at some of the other key bowl matchups for each conference: SEC: The proud league still has its crown jewel: The Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama’s back in the College Football Playoff, but after the Tide, the league’s depth was noticeably absent. No. 16 Ole Please see POWER 5 | 13

Miss faces No. 13 Oklahoma State in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, and the Rebels are eager to play better in the postseason than they did last year, when they were embarrassed by TCU 42-3 in the Peach Bowl. Other games to watch: Florida vs. Michigan in the Citrus Bowl, Georgia vs. Penn State in the TaxSlayer Bowl. PAC-12: The league was left out of the playoff after its members beat up one another during the regular season. Stanford faces Iowa in an intriguing Rose Bowl. The Cardinal have running back Christian McCaffrey, who finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting and set a single-season record for total yards. Other games to watch: No. 15 Oregon vs. No. 11 TCU in the Alamo Bowl, USC vs. No. 12 Wisconsin in the Holiday Bowl. The Pac-12 is already off to a good start with early bowl season wins for both Utah and Arizona. BIG 12: No. 4 Okla-
homa represents the Big 12 in the playoff against No. 1 Clemson after the league was left out of the inaugural field last season. The Sooners have a head-scratching loss to Texas, but an impressive resume otherwise. Other games to watch: Oklahoma State vs. Ole Miss in the Sugar, TCU vs. Oregon in the Alamo and No 18 Baylor vs. No. 10 North Carolina in the Russell Athletic Bowl. ACC: The league has the nation’s No. 1 team in Clemson, which has rolled to a 13-0 record after beating North Carolina in the ACC title game. That’s obviously the big one, but there are other games to watch: North Carolina’s matchup against Baylor, No. 9 Florida State squares off against No. 14 Houston in the Peach Bowl. AAC: Maybe no league did more to improve its reputation this season than the American Athletic Conference. Houston, No. 21 Navy, No. 24 Temple and Memphis all spent time in the national rankings and could gain even more respect with postseason wins.

Leonard, Spurs win 6th in a row The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Kawhi Leonard had 24 points and the San Antonio Spurs surged past the Indiana Pacers for a 10692 victory Monday night to remain undefeated at home. San Antonio (24-5) is off to the second best start in franchise history, including 16-0 at home. The Spurs have 21 wins by double figures. Tony Parker had 15 points, including nine in the final quarter, for San Antonio, which has won 6 straight. Boris Diaw added 14 points and LaMarcus Aldridge and Patty Mills had 10 each. David West had seven points and five rebounds in his first game against the Pacers since leaving in the offseason to sign with the Spurs. George Hill and Jordan Hill each had 15 points for Indiana. Two of the league’s top defenses fought early. The Spurs lead the league in opponent scoring at 88.9 points and the Pacers are seventh at 92.7. San Antonio had just six points in the first six minutes of the game, two fewer than Indiana. Leonard and Paul George had their own physical battle, with each trying to get the best of the other on both ends of the court. With George bumping and hand checking him at the top of the key, Leonard drove to the lane and banked in an over-the-shoulder lefthanded layup in traffic. George attempted to respond, but Tim Duncan blocked his driving layup on the ensuing possession. The back-to-back plays
electrified the crowd and the Spurs, who scored nine of the next 11 points for a 70-62 lead. Leonard had five points, a rebound and a steal in the run. Parker was 4 for 6 in taking over in the fourth quarter, including a spin and two upfakes in the lane to evade George Hill and scoop in a layup.
Tip-ins Pacers: George Hill, who was with the Spurs from 2008-11, received a loud ovation during pregame introduction. Hill was traded to the Pacers for the rights to Leonard. George had two steals, giving him 512 for his career to tie Derrick McKey for eighth in franchise history. Indiana was shooting 38.6 percent from threepoint range, which is second best in the league. ... Rodney Stuckey has scored in double figures in seven straight games after posting 16 against the Spurs. Spurs: San Antonio is off to the second-best start in franchise history, trailing only the 25-4 record in 2011. ... Texas men’s basketball coach Shaka Smart was in attendance, seated next to Spurs general manager R.C. Buford. ... Aldridge was a rebound shy of his 10th double-double of the season, which would have tied him with Duncan for most on the team this season.
Up next Pacers: host Sacramento on Wednesday night. Spurs: at Minnesota on Wednesday night.

NFL suspends Giants’ Beckham for 1 game The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Losing control during Sunday’s loss to the Panthers will cost Giants star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. one game. The NFL on Monday suspended Beckham for next weekend’s visit to Minnesota for his conduct against Carolina, when he drew three personal foul penalties. The league cited “multiple violations of safety-related playing rules.” Beckham appealed the decision. His case will be heard by either James Thrash or Derrick Brooks, the hearing officers jointly appointed by the NFL and the players’ union. Without Beckham, the Giants (6-8) would be missing their best offensive weapon as they try to stay alive in the NFC East race. Beckham and Panthers cornerback Josh Norman tangled from the beginning of the Panthers’ 38-35 victory. At one point, Beckham delivered a diving helmet-to-helmet hit on Norman while blocking. There was plenty of pushing, shoving, swinging, wrestling, late hits and trash talking between them. Beckham, the 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year, has 91 catches for 1,396 yards and 13 touchdowns, tied for the league lead. He has a base salary of $893,000 and would lose $55,813 for being suspended for Sunday
night’s game. The suspension was imposed by NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks, who ruled that Beckham’s actions placed his opponents at unnecessary risk of injury and should have been avoided. “At numerous times during (Sunday’s) game against the Carolina Panthers, your actions placed a fellow player at unnec-
essary risk . and clearly did not represent the high standards of sportsmanship expected,” Hanks said in a letter to Beckham. Hanks specifically pointed to a late helmetto-helmet hit against a defenseless player in which Beckham left his feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent (Norman); lowered his helmet and initiated forcible contact
with his helmet; and forcibly struck the defenseless player’s head. This “blindside block” was particularly flagrant because Beckham, with a 10-yard running start, had an unobstructed path to his opponent, the position of the opponent was not impacted by any other player, and the contact with the head/neck was avoidable, the NFL’s statement said.

Shipping mania: Rush is on to deliver gifts BY SCOTT MAYEROWITZ Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The humming is constant; a low-pitched drone from 155 miles of conveyer belts racing packages in every direction. Boxes shift from one belt to another and bump into a metal wall. Thud. Thud. Thud. In the background, trucks beep and jet engines roar. Forget jingling bells and ho-ho-hos, these are now the sounds of the holidays. As more gift-givers shop online, there are more packages to ship. Online sales now account for 10 percent of all shopping and 15 percent during the holidays, according to research firm Forrester. That leaves FedEx and UPS with a combined 947 million packages to deliver between Black Friday and Christmas Eve — up 8 percent from last holiday season’s forecasts. For UPS, the key to get-
ting all those last-second orders delivered on time is Worldport, a massive sorting facility located between the Louisville airport’s two main runways. On a typical night, 1.6 million packages pass through. Just before Christmas, there can be 4 million, peaking on Monday night. (UPS plans to deliver about 36 million packages on Tuesday, its busiest day of the year, up from 35 million last year. That includes all of Worldport’s shipments plus those traveling by truck.) Standing next to the runways just after midnight, jet headlights can be seen lined up miles away. Every 60 seconds another plane lands on one of the two parallel runways and pulls up to the facility — the size of 90 football fields — to unload its goods. If everything goes right, the packages are just touched twice by humans: first when pulled
out of large aircraft shipping containers and then again at the end of their journey through the conveyors and into a new bin and another jet. The past two years have been rough for express shippers. In 2013, they underestimated American’s growing fervor for online shopping. Throw in bad weather, and deliveries backed up. Some gifts didn’t arrive in time for Christmas. UPS and Fedex spent heavily last year to ensure better performance, but still had some major hiccups. Staples, Toys ‘R Us, Best Buy, Crate & Barrel, J.C. Penney and Kohl’s were among the retailers who missed delivery to at least one part of the country, according to industry tracking firm StellaService. To prevent similar mishaps, UPS and FedEx have been working with major retailers to hone their forecasts and have
scheduled their extra holiday workers to better meet the shipping spikes right after Thanksgiving and the weekend before Christmas. Some thirdparty tracking services have signaled a few issues with 2015 deliveries but UPS spokesman Mike Mangeot said last week that more than 96 percent of packages are being delivered on time in December and that UPS expects packages to arrive by Christmas. “In many cases customers are receiving the packages earlier than promised as we are advancing deliveries to make sure the network remains ready for any spikes as last-minute Christmas shipping approaches,” says Mangeot. At first glance, Kentucky doesn’t seem like the epicenter of holiday shipping. After all, Louisville isn’t the geographic center of the U.S. And this city of 600,000 people is hardly
the largest in the country. Best known for its wooden baseball bats and being home to the Kentucky Derby, the city does, however, have relatively good weather and a geography that is perfect for shipping. (FedEx has a similar operation in Memphis, Tennessee.) “It’s just an ideal location for us,” says Gary Kelley, manager of the UPS next day shipping division at Worldport. “We are within two hours (flying time) of 75 percent of the population and within four hours of 95 percent.” And when you are rushing packages overnight, that proximity to the country’s largest cities matters. A plane from Seattle might be carrying overnight packages bound for New York, Miami or Chicago. It will stop in Kentucky. All the boxes and envelopes are unloaded, likely by college students pulling the ultimate allnighter — they make up
70 percent of the employees here. Next, the packages go onto conveyers where red lasers scan labels and then the system automatically sorts the boxes and directs them to new shipping containers. UPS has 38,000 such containers and they typically hold about 400 packages. Workers load them back up and then drag the heavy containers across a floor of rollers back onto various planes that head out around the globe. Up to 416,000 packages can be processed each hour. Typically, it only takes 13 minutes for a package to travel the web of belts and chutes. In a five hour period, 130 planes have landed, unloaded, reloaded and returned to the skies. In another part of the complex, 300 trucks do a similar dance. The only thing faster: Americans purchasing a new round of goods online.
Consumer attitudes shifting toward less expensive gifts BY JOYCE M. ROSENBERG Associated Press
NEW YORK — Cheap is the new chic for holiday gifts. Jana Montero, who has in the past bought loved ones iPods and tablets for Christmas, has changed her attitude about gift giving: This holiday season, she’s grabbing candle sets and serving dishes that cost under $30 to give to family and friends. Montero, who lives in New York and is saving to buy a home with her husband, said: “We want to make sure we’re conscious of what we’re spending.” More holiday shoppers are expected to be like Montero this holiday season in the latest twist in a theme that has played out since the recession. For nearly a decade, shoppers have been more cautious and practical about their
spending, doing more bargain shopping and hunting for deals. But recently, shoppers have taken that practice a step further. They’re becoming more open to buying gifts that in the past might have been considered downright cheap. So, they’re not just looking for big discounts on extravagant, expensive designer and brand name goods; they’re starting out with the intention of getting less expensive items that they might not have considered buying as gifts in the past. The number of people willing to buy gifts during this holiday shopping season for under $10 rose to 4 percent this year from 1 percent last year, according to a survey of 1,000 people by America’s Research Group, a firm that researches consumer behavior. Meanwhile, the number of people willing
“One of the deeply confusing elements to the consuming public is: What is the real cost of something?” Paco Underhill Retail consultant to spend between $26 and $35 fell to 18 percent from 22 percent. Overall, people are expected to spend modestly more this holiday season. The National Retail Federation predicts holiday spending in November and December will be up 3.7 percent to $630.5 billion this year, slower than the 4.1 percent growth during the same period last year. The shift in attitude toward cheap is partly rooted in economics, says Jeff Green, a retailing consultant based in Phoenix. Shoppers who vigilantly watched their budgets
during the recession continue to feel the pressure of keeping tabs on what they’re spending even as the economy improves. “Even with the unemployment rate down, I don’t think people feel secure in their jobs,” he says. But it’s also rooted in a change in consumer psychology. Some shoppers have become suspicious of retailers who continually slash prices, retail consultant Paco Underhill says. In other words, people are beginning to question whether they’re paying too much for the gifts that they’re buying, so now they’re starting
out with the expectation that they’ll buy really cheap items. “One of the deeply confusing elements to the consuming public is: What is the real cost of something?” he says. For example, Stacy Roberts saw plenty of sales when she visited The Fashion Mall at Keystone in Indianapolis on Saturday, but she wasn’t impressed. She said shoppers need to start following the price of something they want to buy for the holidays a few months beforehand, so they can tell if the sales are truly a bargain. “To me, deals are B.S.,” she says. Adding to the mistrust of “deals,” some consumer marketing experts say, is the shedding of the stigma associated with buying smaller, less expensive gifts. People who spend less can be per-
ceived as savvy shoppers, and also warmer and friendlier than someone who’s a conspicuous consumer, says Maura Scott, a marketing professor at Florida State University. The growing willingness of holiday shoppers to spend less on gifts has made storeowners more conservative as they’ve stocked up for the holidays. Many have more lower-priced merchandise on their shelves to cater to the growing prevalence of cheap-gift buyers. Toys R Us has bins throughout its stores that feature merchandise like race cars and stuffed animals for less than $10, and has a section called Dollar Shop with toys priced $1 to $5. Target stores have a section called Bullseye’s Playground with $5 and under items including toys and accessories for electronics.

Driver repeatedly plows into people on Vegas Strip Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — A driver with a 3-year-old in her car repeatedly smashed into crowds of visitors on the Las Vegas Strip, killing a woman from Arizona and injuring dozens of others, authorities said. Video of the car plowing into pedestrians in front of the Paris and Planet Hollywood casino-hotels “looks like it’s very intentional,” police Capt. Brett Zimmerman said Monday. The 1996 Oldsmobile sedan was fully on the sidewalk twice Sunday evening, including once when it traveled for 200 feet. Police say they don’t know why the woman in her 20s, who has not been identified, drove onto the walkway first near a restaurant at Planet Hol-
lywood and then again at the driveway entrance to the Paris hotel. The child with her was not hurt. The crash happened on a busy stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard across from the dancing water fountains of the Bellagio hotel-casino where visitors crowd sidewalks as they head from one casino to another. The Miss Universe pageant was being held nearby at Planet Hollywood. The driver sped away before the vehicle was found at a hotel and she was taken into custody. The woman had recently moved to the area; the car she was driving was registered in Oregon, authorities said. Prosecutors said Monday that they expect to charge her with murder
and other crimes. The vehicle could be considered a deadly weapon, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said. “When a person drives a 2,000-pound-plus motor vehicle intentionally onto a sidewalk, killing and injuring scores of people, that’s murder,” Wolfson said. The crash killed Jessica Valenzuela, 32, of Buckeye, Arizona, according to Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg. The suburban Phoenix woman was visiting Las Vegas with her husband, the coroner said. University Medical Center was treating three people in critical condition and two others in serious condition. Four men and a woman were in fair condition at Sun-
rise Hospital and Medical Center. Of the victims, five were Canadian citizens and four were Oregon college students in town to compete in a wrestling tournament. Justin Cochrane, a visitor from Santa Barbara, California, said he was having dinner at a sidewalk restaurant outside the Paris hotel when he saw the car smashing into pedestrians. “It was just massacring people,” he said, adding that the car appeared to be going 30 to 40 mph. The Oldsmobile then went farther down the road and drove back into another crowd of pedestrians on the sidewalk, he said. Cochrane said he couldn’t understand why
the car went into the crowd a second time. “Why would it slow to go around and then accelerate again?” he said. “I thought, ‘It’s a crazy person.’” Cochrane said he saw children and adults injured on the ground as the car drove away. The pedestrians were not in the road and were not at fault, police said. Joel Ortega, 31, of Redlands, California, said he and his wife, Carla, were visiting for the weekend and found themselves blocked from walking on the sidewalk toward the Paris hotel. They could see police investigating about a block away from the crash. “At first, I thought it was a movie shoot,” he said. “I thought maybe we’d see
someone famous.” But then they learned that it was a crash scene. Ortega said it made them remember how their Redlands neighborhood was disrupted after the Dec. 2 mass shooting in nearby San Bernardino, California. The crash comes months after another woman was accused of driving into a crowd during Oklahoma State’s homecoming parade. Four people were killed and more than 40 were hurt Oct. 24. In September 2005, three tourists were killed and nearly a dozen injured when a car barreled through the crowd on the Las Vegas Strip and crashed into a cement barrier in front of Bally’s hotel-casino.
Street gangs increasingly moving from drugs to white-collar crimes BY COLLEEN LONG Associated Press
NEW YORK — The Van Dyke Money Gang in New York made off with more than $1.5 million this year — but it wasn’t in gunpoint robberies or drug running, it was a Western Union money order scheme. In New Jersey, 111 Neighborhood Crips used a machine to make dozens of fake gift cards for supermarkets, pharmacies and hardware stores. In South Florida, gangs steal identities to file false tax returns. These aren’t members of an organized Mafia or band of hackers. They’re street crews and gangs netting millions in white-collar schemes like identity theft and credit card fraud — in some instances, giving up the old ways of making an illicit income in exchange for easier crimes with shorter
sentences. “Why would you spend time on the street slinging crack when you can get 10 years under federal minimums when in reality you can just bone up on how to make six figures and when you get caught you’re doing six months?” said Al Pasqual, director of fraud security at the consulting firm Javelin Strategy and Research. Law enforcement officials say they see increasingly more gangs relying on such crimes. This year, more than three dozen suspected crew members have been indicted in separate cases around the country. Grand larcenies in New York City account for 40 percent of all crime last year — compared with 28 percent in 2001. About 5 percent of Americans nationwide have experienced some kind of identity theft, with
Florida leading the country in complaints. New York Police Commissioner William Bratton wrote in an editorial in the city’s Daily News last week that white-collar crime was being committed by gang members “to an astonishing degree.” Crews recruit bank account owners to help cash phony checks, they pay off crooked employees who skim credit card information using handheld readers, and they buy identities online. Pasqual said for some, it was a replacement for other crime. “For some it’s a supplement. They’re earning the money to grow the other side of their business, using white-collar crime to fund gun running. For a lot of them this becomes their day to day. They travel the country when they get really good at it.”
A task force created by federal officials in Florida has charged more than 400 people with causing more than $140 million in losses — including more than 60 charged three weeks ago — and officials say increasingly those arrested are gang members. It’s an organized crime — but not “Organized Crime,” said Bill Maddalena, assistant special agent in charge of the white-collar branch of the Miami FBI office. “They’re very well organized. They have to recruit people to help steal devices, cash the checks.” And because gang members are engaging more in fraud, there are fewer turf wars. “There’s still an element of violence,” Maddalena said. “There’s less head-to-head competition. They’re attacking the government.”
This violence can be more directly related to the crime, not like a drive-by shooting over a turf war that injures dozens. A postmaster killed over a key to open the P.O. boxes in Florida. In a Manhattan case, authorities found a scrap of paper in the pocket of a gang shooting victim that had the identification of another person. “There’s often violence surrounding the crime, but not necessarily in committing the crime,” said David Szuchman, chief of the investigation division at the district attorney’s office in Manhattan. As officials crack down on one type of scam, criminals move on to the next. Gang members learn the craft from each other — but many are also millennials, “raised in a computer age, and they
know how to use it,” said Lt. Greg Besson of the NYPD’s financial crimes task force. The Outlaw Gangsta Crips in Brooklyn made about $500,000 this year in a paycheck fraud scheme that involved obtaining a legitimate paycheck and then using the information to create and quickly cash phony checks before they were taken down. But they also robbed check-cashing stores and were charged with conspiracy to kill two people, authorities said. Most cases are pending. In Union County, New Jersey, the 111 Neighborhood Crips made tens of thousands in fake tax returns — and four of the 12 indicted this summer were also charged with murder and attempted murder in separate incidents. Their cases are pending.
