Alabama fugitive located in Corinth BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A trip to Corinth to spend time with family ended in arrest for a man wanted for attempted murder in Alabama. Timothy Dennis Blasingame, 39, of County Road 372, Hillsboro, Ala., was arrested at a Corinth hotel Saturday afternoon
after the police department received information that the man would be in Corinth. He waived extradition and was picked up by Alabama law enforcement. He had apparently been in Texas and came to Corinth to see family, said Officer Spence Spencer. A warrant issued June 18 for
his arrest in Lawrence County, Ala., states that Blasingame attempted to run over a sheriff’s deputy with his truck while fleeing a scene. Another warrant was issued for his arrest for attempted assault for attempting to strike another deputy with his truck. A stack of additional warrants includes charges of strik-
ing an unoccupied vehicle while eluding police; attempting to elude a police officer; possession of burglar’s tools; theft of property, second degree; and failure to appear on DUI charges. Stolen items included a Hemi head motor and scrap metal. Officers found Blasingame’s name on a hotel registry in the
city and set up surveillance. Upon going to the hotel room, officers encountered Blasingame’s wife, mother-in-law and a young child. Blasingame had gone out to get food, and officers arrested him outside the hotel when he returned. The man was caught off guard and taken into custody without incident, officers said.

3 arrested in large meth bust BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A large stash of methamphetamine passing through the city came to a halt Sunday when police stopped a careless driver. Inside the vehicle, police found two chunks of meth, both wrapped in black electrical tape. Weighing 167 grams, it has an estimated street value of $16,700 and was apparently headed to Lee County. “I haven’t seen this much in a long time,” said Detective Capt. Ralph Dance. Charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute are Shannon Scott, 24, of 301 Hamilton Avenue,
2013 Christmas Basket Fund “A Community Tradition”
Basket fund hits $20,486 The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Crossroads area as generous donations continue to arrive for the 18th Annual Corinth Rotary Club / Daily Corinthian 2013 Christmas Basket Fund. The civic club and newspaper set a $25,000 community fundraising goal this year so 1,000 food baskets could be given away to local families on Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Crossroads Arena. Baskets were given on faith and hope the goal will be reached. The total increased to $20,486 after the most recent donation arrived. It was $100 from SOUTHBank in memory of Gerald Beech.

Tupelo; James Gaston, 25, of 117 County Road 331, Shannon; and Justin Smith, 27, of 290-A County Road 325, Tupelo. As of 11 a.m. Monday they were in custody at the justice center with bond pending. Gaston is on probation with the Mississippi Department of Corrections stemming from a meth conviction in Lee County, Dance said. The arrests happened after Officer Steve Rose made a traffic stop of the vehicle driven by Scott on Highway 45 for careless driving. Officers gained consent to search and discovered the drug in the vehicle. Dance said it appears the sus-
pects had picked up the methamphetamine and were headed back to Lee County. In a separate case, a Prentiss County woman was charged on Dec. 24 with attempting to obtain a controlled substance by fraud in Corinth. Bond was set at $10,000 for Hillary Kepple, 36, of 9th Street, Booneville. Kepple apparently attempted to pass a fraudulent prescription at a couple of local pharmacies, Dance said. The police department responded to a call from a pharmacy and arrested Kepple. She has previously been charged in Prentiss County and awaits sentencing there, Dance said.
It was business as usual Monday morning for the Northeast Regional Library. For the avid reader or casual passerby, the peaceful facade cloaked and concealed the underlying damage and gave the illusion that all was well. One would never know that over the weekend, the library was the scene of such a ridiculous and juvenile crime. Police responded to a vandalism call early Monday
morning from the Corinth library. Maintenance workers first noticed something amiss after they discovered large amounts of water were pooled up on the lawn. Further investigation led them to determine that someone had intentionally turned on the water spigots in an attempt to flood the grounds. After a lengthy search of the exterior, graffiti was also disPlease see LIBRARY | 3
Suspect in officer’s death killed during shootout Associated Press
PHOENIX — A man who once threatened the president and was suspected of carrying out a deadly Mississippi bank robbery was killed in a shootout with police as he robbed a Phoenix bank, authorities said. Mario Edward Garnett, 40, was fatally wounded as he fired on officers who had arrived at a Compass Bank branch for reports of a bank robbery Saturday morning, police said.
The Secret Service said in court documents that Garnett posted threatening comments about President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the official White House website in August 2010. During a search of his Oklahoma City apartment, investigators said they found files on his computer containing a purchase list for pistols, rifles, ammunition and explosive Please see SUSPECT | 3
The Granddaddy of Them All Local residents in California building Rose Bowl float BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
Life isn’t always a bed of roses, but for two Corinth women, their realities have become just that. When Alisa Jobe Pittman and Nancy Goforth Puckett sent their resumes in to apply as float builders for the Rose Bowl, they never dreamed they’d be chosen. “About two weeks ago, I got a call from Charles Meier at Paradiso,” explained Pittman. “I walked around for a couple of days in a daze, wondering what I had gotten myself into,” admitted the interior designer. The two ladies met as children when their families moved across the street from one another. Their mothers were best friends and since the age of 3 Puckett and Pittman have also been best friends. “We’re just two little Mississippi girls playing in a big old sandbox,” Pittman exclaimed. Both women were born and raised in Corinth. Pittman, widowed, has two children, Meredith and Camp. Puckett and her husband, Ray, have one daughter, Christina.

other extraterrestrial touches. This float will hold a special surprise, something never before seen in the history of the industry. The second, is sponsored by Singpoli and celebrates Japanese culture.
It is 80 feet long, features white horses and is embellished with 40,000 red roses. “As a child, I was always impressed by the floats. It’s such an art form. They are made
On this day in history 150 years ago U.S. Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles sums up 1863; “The war has been waged with success, although there have been in some instances errors and misfortunes. But the heart of the nation is sounder and its hopes higher.”

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Dec. 31, the 365th and final day of 2013.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 31, 1879, Thomas Edison first publicly demonstrated his electric incandescent light in Menlo Park, N.J.
On this date: In 1775, during the Revolutionary War, the British repulsed an attack by Continental Army generals Richard Montgomery and Benedict Arnold at Quebec; Montgomery was killed. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed an enabling act paving the way for Virginia’s western counties to become the state of West Virginia, which took place in June 1863. In 1909, the Manhattan Bridge, spanning the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn, was officially opened to vehicular traffic. In 1942, Frank Sinatra opened a singing engagement at New York’s Paramount Theater. In 1946, President Harry S. Truman officially proclaimed the end of hostilities in World War II. In 1951, the Marshall Plan expired after distributing more than $12 billion in foreign aid. In 1969, Joseph A. Yablonski, an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency of the United Mine Workers of America, was shot to death with his wife and daughter in their Clarksville, Pa., home by hitmen acting at the orders of UMWA president Tony Boyle. In 1972, Major League baseball player Roberto Clemente, 38, was killed when a plane he’d chartered and was traveling on to bring relief supplies to earthquake-devastated Nicaragua crashed shortly after takeoff from Puerto Rico. In 1985, singer Rick Nelson, 45, and six other people were killed when fire broke out aboard a DC-3 that was taking the group to a New Year’s Eve performance in Dallas. In 1986, 97 people were killed when fire broke out in the Dupont Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (Three hotel workers later pleaded guilty in connection with the blaze.) In 1987, Robert Mugabe, prime minister of Zimbabwe, was sworn in as the country’s first executive president. In 1993, Brandon Teena, a female-born transgender, was slain along with two other people at a farmhouse near Humboldt, Neb. (Convicted murderer John Lotter is on Nebraska’s death row; co-defendant Thomas Nissen is serving a life sentence. The case inspired the 1999 movie “Boys Don’t Cry.”)
Ten years ago: A car bomb ripped through a crowded restaurant hosting a New Year’s Eve party in Baghdad, Iraq, killing eight Iraqis.
Five years ago: The U.N. Security Council held a meeting on an Arab request for a binding and enforceable resolution condemning Israel and halting its military attacks on Gaza.

Church will ring in year on its knees in prayer
Garbage routes The Corinth Street Department will be closed on Wednesday for New Year’s Day. The normal Wednesday garbage route will be collected on Tuesday along with Tuesday’s route. Others will not change.
BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
North Corinth Baptist Church will ring in the new year on its knees. The church will host its 36th consecutive Watch Night Service tonight beginning at 7. “This is a good way to get the new year started,” said church member Leonard Casabella. “The night will be filled with preaching and singing … it will be something for the whole family and we invite everyone to attend.” The event is open to the public and will run through midnight. Finger foods will also be providedg. “Bro. Bill (Wages) has been doing the service for the 36 years,” said Casabella. “He is 80 years old and still preaching stronger than ever.” Gospel groups Unity Four and Saving Grace will be performing during the night. “Saving Grace is a beautiful little group who will bless your heart,” added the church member. According to Casabella, several preachers are slated to speak during the service. “Most people think five hours is a long time, but when you have several things scheduled for the night it goes by quick,” he said. At midnight, those in attendance will be given the opportunity to go to the altar and pray in the new year. “We won’t be using a whistle to ring in the new year, we will be doing it on our knees in prayer,” said Casabella.

covered. The damage was confined to a small area near the dumpsters. Concealed almost totally from the street, this entrance is normally accessible only to employees. The walls were littered with graffiti and had been defaced with obscene pictures, expletives and un-scholarly book slurs. “We would like everyone to know security will be beefed up at the library and the police will have more of a presence in the area. If anyone has any information, they are urged to notify the authorities, immediately. It would not pay for someone to try and perpetrate this crime a second time,” warned librarian Brandon Lowrey. The incident is still under investigation. A police report has been filed in the matter.

from materials like seed pods, grass, parsley, and coconut. “Everything has to be natural,” Pittman, exclaimed with wonder. They are joined by Corinth native Hannah Crainford, who now lives in Los Angeles. Crainford is the daughter of Gerald and Dale Crainford, owners of King Manufacturing here in Corinth. “She has chauffeured us around and even helped us with decorating,” acknowledged the two. Pittman and Puckett are paying tribute to their roots while working in California. “We have been representing our local businesses and universities,” confirmed Puckett, “Sanctuary, The Green Door, Biggers Hardware, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Lloyd’s Cafe and The Green Beetle in Memphis are all being represented,” the RN elaborated. “It has been amazing, such an adventure,” mused Pittman “We are a great team. She is the organizer and I’m more artistic,” she further explained. The two Corinthians have attracted their fair

share of attention while visiting California. “They call us Mississippi 1 and Mississippi 2,” joked Pittman. “A lot of people here have never been around Southerners. They want

devices. He was sentenced to eight months in prison after pleading guilty to threatening to kill and inflict bodily harm on the president. A judge later ruled Garnett violated the terms of his supervised release and sentenced him to 24 months to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, recommending that Garnett be put in a facility to let prison authorities evaluate and address his mental health. Garnett was released from federal custody about five months ago. Authorities have connected Garnett to a Dec. 23 bank robbery attempt in Atlanta, a bank robbery later that same day in Tupelo, Miss., and the shooting death of one Tupelo officer and the wounding of another. The FBI’s special agent in charge in Jackson, Miss., said records showed the suspect’s cellphone was in Atlanta, Phoenix and Tupelo at the time of each incident. The agent, Daniel McMullen, said there were “numerous similarities” between the three bank robberies, including the clothing worn by the suspect and statements he made during the incidents. Surveillance photos from the attempted bank robbery in Atlanta showed someone wearing a black-and-white patterned jacket tried to rob a Bank of America branch on Dec. 23. The suspect was wearing a black ski mask and
black gloves and carrying a handgun. After failing to get any money from a teller, the person demanded and received an undisclosed amount of money from someone at an ATM. The suspect was seen leaving in a light gray car with no license plate. Later that day, someone stole an undisclosed amount of money from the BancorpSouth in Tupelo before fleeing in a gray sedan, the FBI said. Two officers responding to a bank alarm were ambushed by the suspect, McMullen said. Officer Gale Stauffer -- formerly of Alcorn County -- was killed, and Officer Joseph Maher was wounded. On Saturday in Phoenix, someone called 911 to report seeing a man run into the bank while wearing a mask. There were five people inside the bank during the robbery, Phoenix police spokesman James Holmes said. A customer who ran outside when Garnett turned his attention to the bank manager also called 911. The first officer to arrive saw the man leave the bank with a bag and a handgun. The suspect then began firing. A detective who also had arrived shot the suspect, who was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital. No officers or bank employees were injured. Holmes said Garnett had served for four years in the U.S. Army. He said Garnett drove a rental car.

Corinth, Miss.
Our First Amendment rights at risk The First Amendment in the Bill of (individual) Rights states plainly: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freeDaniel dom of speech, or of the press, Gardner or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to Columnist petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Our founders believed these two rights were sacrosanct and necessary to protect the people from the government. After all, they had suffered from an oppressive government that had established its own religion and prohibited the free exercise of other religions, and they had suffered censorship from that same government. Unlike the majority of charges of violations of the First Amendment today (like nativity scenes or postings of the Ten Commandments on public property, which are not the result of Congress making any law but are actions of local citizens) Congress has made a law that prohibits the free exercise of religion in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) aka Obamacare. The ACA requires every person, organization, or business that purchases health insurance to pay for abortion-inducing drugs. The Catholic Church and Catholic service organizations along with groups like the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) have filed suits in many courts challenging the constitutionality of the federal government’s power to force purchasers of health insurance to pay for prescriptions or agents that violate their religious beliefs. So far, the courts are ruling overwhelmingly in favor of religious freedom. Ultimately, the Supreme Court will decide these suits. The issue goes far beyond providing “free” contraceptives or abortifacients (agents that induce abortions). The question before the courts is whether the government can force individuals, organizations or businesses to pay for and otherwise support actions that violate their religious beliefs. Digging a little deeper into the mindset of our Founders, we see the importance they placed on religion, morality, and knowledge in the Northwest Ordinance passed in 1787, before the Bill of Rights were passed. It stated: “Article 3: Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” Remember, neither Congress nor the federal government conducted or funded education in 1787. Education was strictly a local responsibility through churches and other community organizations. The Northwest Ordinance merely offered rationale why local education including lessons in religion, morality, and knowledge was important. Our founders believed these three pillars were “necessary” for good government and the happiness of mankind. As Washington and the states have taken more control over local education, we have seen how federal and state laws have stripped out all lessons in religion and morality in “approved” curricula. Furthermore, many of our teachers have bought into the PC notion there are no absolute morals or values, and we are raising a generation of citizens who believe truth is not absolute, but is relative. In essence, by forcing one-size-fits-all federal and state approved curricula bereft of religious or moral education on local schools, Congress has made laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion. These are just two examples how the government is prohibiting the free exercise of religion, eroding teaching of moral values, forcing individuals to violate their religious beliefs, and ultimately ushering in an age opposite to our Founders’ intents and purposes.
Prayer for today My Father, as I look to the past days, I feel much of my happiness and much of my misery has come from my own choice. May I be more watchful of my standards and less wasteful of my time, and keep a poise in life that will leave a memory of well-spent days. For the year that has passed and for its blessings I thank thee. Amen.

McInnis, Allain among Mississippi deaths BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. JACKSON — State Rep. Mack McInnis helped 1994 become one of the worst years for Mississippi inmates. McInnis, who died in April at age 79, wanted inmates to wear stripes. How he said it put him in the national spotlight. During a 1994 special session on prison construction, lawmakers barred weightlifting equipment, individual TV sets, radios and air conditioners from cells. They also required inmates to wear striped uniforms with CONVICT on the back. Different colors of stripes designate the prisoner’s status. McInnis, a Democrat from Lucedale, wanted the inmates in stripes, but went even further. “We want a prisoner to look like a prisoner, to smell like a prisoner and taste like a prisoner. When you see one of these boogers aloose, you’ll say ‘I didn’t know we had zebras in Mississippi.’ Some of them prisoners, you couldn’t humiliate them with a humiliatin’ machine.” A few months later, cor-
rections officials balked at the estimated $1 million cost. “I don’t care if it costs $10 million,” McInnis said. “It was my intention to a make those prisoners look like prisoners. And I know you psychologists and all ... say, ‘Well, that’s humiliating.’ Well, that’s damn good. I want it to be.” The inmates got stripes. McInnis’ death was one of dozens of public figures in Mississippi in 2013. Former state Rep. John Hampton Stennis, the only son of the late Sen. John C. Stennis, died in September at age 78. The Democrat served 15 years in the Mississippi House. As chairman of the House Banks and Banking Committee, Stennis shepherded a rewriting of Mississippi’s laws in the shadow of the failure of Banker Trust Savings & Loan Association in 1976. At that time, 150,000 people had money in 34 state-chartered, but not federally insured, thrifts. Total deposits were $450 million. The largest of them was Jackson-based Bankers Trust with $200 million in
assets. Bankers Trust went into receivership in May 1976, cutting depositors off from their funds. The law placed a moratorium on business being conducted by state-chartered S&L’s until they became federally insured. The law was repealed in 1997. Also passing away in 2013 was former Gov. Bill Allain, a Democrat who appointed significant numbers of women and minorities to government jobs and strengthened the executive branch by removing legislators from state boards, died in December. He was 85. Allain was governor from 1984 to 1988, after serving a term as attorney general from 1980 to 1984. He wouldn’t say which statewide job he preferred. “As attorney general, you get up in the morning and you drink coffee and have breakfast and you go and you get your staff together and you say, ‘Who we going to give hell to today?’ And as governor you get up and do the same thing but your staff says, ‘Who’s giving us hell today?’” Allain told The Associated Press in 2001.
Among other deaths in Mississippi in 2013: ■ Former state Sen. Jim Bean, a Republican who championed rural health care and programs for children and the elderly, died in July. He was 80. ■ Donald W. Zacharias, the beloved former president of Mississippi State University, died in February. He was 77. ■ Former state Rep. Billy Thames, a Democrat who pressed for improvements in mental health programs, died in September. He was 69. ■ Lillie B. Ayers, who became the lead plaintiff in Mississippi’s college desegregation lawsuit after the death of her husband, died in March. She was 85. ■ Donald A. Cabana, a longtime corrections official who oversaw executions as warden at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in the 1980s and later came to oppose the death penalty, died in October. He was 67.

A new year dawns and old problems linger Whenever we stand on the threshold of a new year, we are tempted to forget the hazards of prophecy, and try to see what may lie on the other side of this arbitrary division of time. Sometimes we are content to try to change ourselves with New Year’s resolutions to do better in some respect. Changing ourselves is a much more reasonable undertaking than trying to change other people. It may or may not succeed, but it seldom creates the disasters that trying to change others can produce. When we look beyond ourselves to the world around us, peering into the future can be a very sobering, if not depressing, experience. ObamaCare looms large and menacing on our horizon. This is not just because of computer problems, or even because some people who think that they have enrolled may discover at their next visit to a doctor that they do not have any insurance coverage. What ObamaCare has done, thanks to Chief Justice Roberts’ Supreme Court decision, is reduce us all from free citizens to cowed subjects, whom the federal government can order around in our own personal

lives, in defiance of the 10th Amendment and all the other protections of our freeThomas dom in the Sowell Constitution of the United Columnist States. O b a m aCare is more than a medical problem, though there are predictable medical problems -- and even catastrophes -- that will unfold in the course of 2014 and beyond. Our betters have now been empowered to run our lives, with whatever combination of arrogance and incompetence they may have, or however much they lie. The challenges ahead are much clearer than what our responses will be. Perhaps the most hopeful sign is that increasing numbers of people seem to have finally -- after nearly five long years -- begun to see Barack Obama for what he is, rather than for what he seemed to be, when judged by his image and rhetoric. What kind of man would blithely disrupt the medical care of millions of Americans, and then repeatedly lie to them with glib assurances that they could keep their doctors or health in-
surance if they wanted to? What kind of man would set up a system in which people would be forced by law to risk their life savings, because they had to divulge their financial identification numbers to strangers who could turn out to be convicted felons? With all the time that elapsed between the passage of ObamaCare and its going into effect, why were the so-called “navigators” who were to be handling other people’s financial records never investigated for criminal convictions? What explanation could there be, other than that Obama didn’t care? Those who have still not yet seen through Barack Obama will have many more opportunities to do so during the coming year, as the medical, financial and other painful human consequences of ObamaCare keep coming out in ways so clear that not even the mainstream media can ignore them or obscure them. The question then is: What can be done about it? Nothing can be done about Obama. He has three more years in office and, as he pointed out to the Russians, he will no longer have to face the American voters. ObamaCare, however,

has no such immunity. It is always hard to repeal an elaborate program after it has gone into effect. But Prohibition was repealed, even though it was a constitutional amendment that required super-majorities in both houses of Congress and super-majorities of state legislatures to repeal. In our two-party system, everything depends on whether the Republicans step up to the plate and act like responsible adults who understand that ObamaCare represents a historic crossroads that will determine what kind of people we are going to be, for this generation and generations yet unborn -- citizens or subjects. This means that Republicans have to decide whether their top priority is internal strife among the different wings of the party -- another circular firing squad -- or whether either wing puts the country first. A prediction on how that will turn out in the new year would be far too hazardous to attempt.

2016 presidential campaign checklist WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton as couch potato didn’t last long. Was anyone surprised? While she was getting back in the game, others who might run for president were in motion, too. Republican Gov. Chris Christie socked away a big re-election victory in New Jersey and scored a prime position in his party to raise money and make friends. Gov. Scott Walker, RWis., plugged a gaping hole in his resume with a new book. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin rode to the rescue as Republican broker of a December budget deal that avoided a repeat of the fall government shutdown. Â
Woman accused of trying to poison kids CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — An Arizona woman is accused of trying to poison her four children, including one who died, and of stabbing her former husband, all on Christmas. Casa Grande police say 35-year-old Connie Villa was arrested Sunday on suspicion of one count of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder. According to police, the ex-husband called 911 after he was stabbed when he went to Villa’s residence. Officers found the body of 13-year-old Aniarael Macias, while Villa with stab wounds believed to have been self-inflicted. Autopsy and toxicology results are pending on
the girl, believed to have been poisoned. The three other children are in good condition and are now with their father’s family. A possible motive hasn’t been disclosed. Â
US eyeing Olympics after Russia attacks HONOLULU — The White House says the United States would welcome “closer cooperation� with Russia on security preparations for the Winter Olympics following a pair of deadly attacks that sparked fears about the terrorism threat at the February Games. “The U.S. government has offered our full support to the Russian government in security preparations for the Sochi Olympic Games,� White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said Monday. “We would welcome the opportunity for closer cooperation for the safety of the athletes, spectators and

other participants.� Officials say that while Russia will be responsible for overall security at the Games, U.S. personnel will be in the country in what the Obama administration is calling “liaison roles.� The effort will be headed by the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which typically assists host nations during events where a large number of Americans will be present. While the U.S. and Russia had already been in contact about security, the back-to-back attacks in the southern city of Volgograd have highlighted the terrorist threat Russia faces as it prepares to host the Winter Games in February. At least 31 people were killed in the separate explosions at a railway station and on a bus in Volgograd, which lies about 400 miles away from the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Prentiss schools to improve security BOONEVILLE — The Prentiss County School Board has allocated $5,000 for each of its campuses to start implementing new safety upgrades. Schools Superintendent Randle Downs tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that the action came this month after the board’s safety committee toured each campus and met with principals and teachers to hear their concerns, from which they developed a list of possible
security enhancements. Downs says entrances and exits received the most attention in the list of recommendations. Board member Kay Stacy raised the issue in July, saying the district should be proactive. Downs says additional suggested improvements on the campuses include hand-held radios or better intercom systems, as well as installing or upgrading video surveillance equipment. Â
Officials report year’s 1st pediatric flu death JACKSON — The Mis-

The health department says in a news release Monday that the death was a child from north Mississippi with chronic underlying health conditions. The release did not give the child’s age or other information because of privacy laws. There have been 12 pediatric flu deaths reported in Mississippi since officials began reporting them during the 20072008 flu season.

Charter school board gets $125,000 in grants JACKSON — The Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board has accepted $125,500 in grants. The board voted Monday to accept $100,000 from Mississippi Common Fund Foundation and $25,500 from Mississippi First Inc. A law passed earlier this year expands authority to create charter schools — public schools run by private groups that meet certain standards. Money has been a key issue as the board moves ahead with efforts to hire an executive director. Lawmakers didn’t appropriate any cash, envisioning that donors would pay startup costs. The board will collect a fee of 3 percent of state aid from schools once they open, but that might not happen until August 2015.
R.G. Spencer
WALNUT — Funeral services for R.G. Spencer, 68, are set for 1:30 p.m. today at Magnolia Funeral Home Chapel of Memories with burial in Roger’s Chapel Cemetery.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mark R. Spencer and Vera Mae Spencer; a sister, Eva Sue Mathis; a grandson, Tyler Blake Spencer; and one great-great-grandaughter. Rev. Trent Spencer will officiate. Visitation is today from 9 a.m. until service time at the funeral home.
Gaming Commission to take look at progress GULFPORT — The Mississippi Gaming Commission has approved plans by Rotate Black Casino for a $112 million casino resort named after author Ernest Hemingway on land next to Jones Park and the Gulfport Small Craft Harbor. The commission voted Monday in Gulfport. The casino is expected to be called Hemingway’s, with its theme based on the life of the author. Work is expected to begin in April on a 205-room luxury hotel and 35,000-square-foot casino operated by Hemingway Hotel and Resorts. Plans also call for a 4,000-square-foot swimming pool plus three restaurants and decks overlooking the water. The company initially brought a $77 million project before the gaming commission, and was told to increase the size. It took three tries to get plans approved. Beginning in 2014 all future casinos built on the Mississippi Coast must meet larger size specifications after the commission approved new rules earlier this year requiring greater invest-

Hattiesburg closing in on Groundworx contract HATTIESBURG— Hattiesburg officials hope to have a contract ready for approval next week with a wastewater treatment company. Members of the city council met Monday with officials of Groundworx LLC on the final details of a contract to treat the city’s wastewater. The city and company have been in talks after Groundworx submitted the low bid to create a land-based treatment system that would disperse the city’s treated waste water over some 10,000 acres. Mayor Johnny DuPree says Groundworx is expected to issue bonds worth between $124 million and $145 million to cover the creation of the new system, which would upgrade and primarily supplant the city’s current disposal method. City Council President Kim Bradley is hoping to have the contract on next week’s council agenda.
Shooting raises homicide toll to 10 GREENVILLE — Greenville police say a 24-year-old man has died after being shot in the head Saturday outside a local nightclub. The fatal shooting of LaMarcus Scott was the city’s 10th homicide in 2013. Assistant Police Chief Andrew Kaho tells the Delta Democrat Times that police found Scott in the parking lot of the PM Lounge about 1:45 a.m. Saturday. Kaho says Scott suffered gunshot wounds to the head and right leg. Scott was airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, where he died at 11:49 p.m. Saturday. Kaho says the case is under investigation.
Natchez planning to restore colonnade NATCHEZ — Natchez City
Engineer David Gardner says plans for the replacement of the historic tollbooth colonnade are underway, and construction should begin in approximately six months. Gardner says the city has received preliminary approval for the work from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. The Natchez Democrat reports the Jackson office of Smith, Seckman and Reid has been hired as the engineering firm. The work will involve replacing the columns of the colonnade, which was officially approved as a Mississippi landmark in January 2012. The city has received $150,000 from the Mississippi Development Authority. The city will also receive $200,000 from the Mississippi Department of Transportation for the colonnade.
Mental exam sought for alleged gang leader HATTIESBURG — A lawyer has asked a federal judge to order a psychiatric evaluation for a reputed Mississippi street gang leader charged with racketeering. Attorney Peter Barrett asked for the exam for his client, Jason Marshall Bullock, in a court motion filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Hattiesburg. Authorities say Bullock, also known as “Sir J-Mac,” is the leader of a Mississippi chapter of the Simon City Royals gang operating in the Hattiesburg area. Bullock was indicted in May on the racketeering conspiracy charge. The indictment listed several elements of the racketeering charge, including attempted murder, kidnapping, bank robbery, drug distribution and bribery. Bullock was arrested July 9 in Pensacola, Fla. He has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bond. Bullock has also faced numerous state court charges over the years, including grand larceny, selling marijuana, aggravated assault and perjury, according to the Mississippi Department of Corrections. He was most recently sentenced in state court in 2008 to four years as a habitual offender for perjury.

Gauging consumers’ confidence
Business barometer
Economists predict that U.S. consumers’ confidence in the economy improved in December after slipping a month earlier. The Conference Board releases its index tracking consumers’ confidence for December today. The index for November fell to the lowest level in seven months, dragged down by greater consumer concerns over hiring and pay. The drop also followed the 16-day partial government shutdown, which caused confidence to plunge in October.
The Institute for Supply Management releases its Chicago business barometer index today. Economists expect that the index slipped to 61 in December, the lowest level since September. Any number above 50 indicates economic activity is growing. Readings below 50 indicate the region’s economy is contracting.

Commuting, email traffic bring out woman’s worst DEAR ABBY: Have you any advice for how a person can handle mornings better? No matter what I do, I start off every work day irritated and grumpy. I love the mornings, and even get up early so I can enjoy sitting with my coffee and relax before heading out the door. But as soon as I get out into traffic, I’m immediately in a bad mood. Then, sitting down at work and facing all the emails that come in from my global associates -- usually about some emergency that is plopped in my lap -- puts me in more of a foul mood. I actually like my job, despite what it sounds like. I just hate starting off every day like this. Telecommuting is not an option for me. What can I do? -- MS. GRUMP IN DENVER DEAR MS. GRUMP: OK, so you’re fine until you leave the house. Many people who find morning rush hour to be nervewracking find it calming to listen to audio books or music during their commute. If that doesn’t help you, and it is feasible, consider using another form of transportation that’s less stressful. And when you arrive at work, take time to decompress before turning on your computer, whether it is with meditation or deepbreathing exercises for the first 10 or 15 minutes. Both can do wonders for a person’s outlook. DEAR ABBY: A cute little girl
lives up the street from my husband and me and attends the same church we do. A few years ago we Abigail taught her a Sunday Van Buren in school class. At the time, Dear Abby she developed a crush on my husband. We both laughed about it then and thought it was sweet. Fast-forward three years, and it’s not so sweet anymore. It’s downright awkward. She runs up to my husband multiple times while we’re at church, while ignoring me. Last Sunday, she turned to me as she did it and announced, “He’s mine!” I stood there thinking, “Uh, no -- he’s MINE.” I know this jealous reaction may seem silly and I’m trying not to feel this way, but it felt like I was fighting over my husband with an 8-year-old. He is aware of her crush and how I feel about it, but he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings. Her mother knows about it, and we shared a laugh early on. What can I do? Would speaking to the girl’s mother help? What should I say? Or would it make things more awkward? -- NO LONGER AMUSED IN OGDEN, UTAH DEAR NO LONGER AMUSED:
The cute little neighbor girl is no longer 5. Three years is a long time to hang onto a crush. Because her behavior bothers you, tell her mother you find it excessive and ask her to tell her daughter she’s too old to act that way. It’s the truth, and your husband should back you up. DEAR ABBY: I thought I’d share my own New Year’s resolution with you. For the past 25 years I have made the following resolution: Each day I will ask myself, “What is the kindest, most loving thing I can say or do at this particular moment?” I invite your readers to consider this. -- WAYNE IN PUYALLUP, WASH. DEAR WAYNE: I consider it a refreshingly positive way to start a day, and I’m sure others will agree and add it to their list of New Year’s resolutions. Thank you for sharing it. CONFIDENTIAL TO MY READERS: A word to the wise: If you plan to toast the New Year tonight, please appoint a designated driver. And on this night especially, designated drivers should remember to drive defensively. To one and all, a happy, healthy New Year! -- LOVE, ABBY (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). Every time you say yes to something, you’re saying no to something else. You’ll use this to your advantage by filling up your schedule with the kinds of things you love to say yes to so there won’t be room for anything else. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Does feeling right seem more important than doing right? Either your bodily intelligence is more evolved than your mind, or your mind is being heavily tempted by a lower agenda. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The 80/20 rule states that the bulk of your results come from a mere 20 percent of your actions, though you may beg to differ. It seems that everything you do today counts in a big way. You’re on to something. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your motives are pure; that’s not the trouble. The trouble is that you have a motive at all. Aiming for one particular outcome makes it impossible for you to
roll with what’s going on in the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your social stars shimmer and wait with baited breath like an audience hanging in the balance. Will your next line be a joke, or will it move them to tears? You are in complete control of this drama. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You dreamed of better days, and now you can finally start implementing the improvements. You don’t have all of the resources you need, but you have enough to move forward. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t judge people by their wealth, because you know they can’t help what they came into this world with. But you do admire those who have built a lot out of a little, and that admiration will lead to a mentorship. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be dealing with your finances. Money isn’t given freely these days. If there’s a surplus of funds, it’s because someone worked harder. Give credit where
it’s due. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will do what you want to do, what you have to do and what is needed. You won’t do what you are told. Are you too stubborn or too wise? Either way, it will work for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Should old acquaintances really be forgotten? No. But you also shouldn’t feel badly if you don’t tend to them again. Keeping good memories of a person is a way to value that person’s existence. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you know that you are in the right, it’s rather easy to stay cool, calm and collected. That’s why you don’t trust those who get overly excited about problems. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You feel that if you get more it’s because you give more. Compassion is important, too, but right now it’s more important that you tend to your responsibilities. Do what you said you would do.

Rice chasing history, Bulldogs The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Mississippi State and Rice both have plenty at stake today in the Liberty Bowl. Rice (10-3) has a chance to clinch the first 11-win season in school history. Mississippi State (6-6) wants to produce its fourth straight winning season. “Our guys know how important this is, to go win this game,” Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said. “We
don’t play again now until Aug. 30. You have eight full months until we get to play again. ... You want to have that positive feeling going into the offseason.” Rice’s Liberty Bowl berth caps a remarkable rise for a school better known for its academic prowess. Rice now is returning to the site where the program began its turnaround. After a 14-10 loss to Memphis at Liberty Bowl Memori-
al Stadium last year dropped the Owls’ record to 1-5, cornerback Phillip Gaines gave an emotional speech. Rice has won 16 of 20 games since. “Something had to be said,” Gaines said. “We had to realize that we can’t keep doing the same stuff every week and expect a different result. I just challenged everybody to kind of man up and take responsibility of our team. That’s what we did.” The Owls beat Marshall
41-24 in the Conference USA championship game last month for their first outright league title of any sort since winning the Southwest Conference crown in 1957. Rice has a chance to win bowl games in back-to-back seasons for the first time ever. Mississippi State has staged its own resurgence.

Tebow joins SEC Network, still eying NFL The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Tim Tebow has his next football job — talking about the sport on TV. The Heisman Trophy winner has been hired as a college football analyst for the new SEC Network in a return to his Florida glory days, but he still hopes to play quarterback in the NFL. Tebow will appear on “SEC Nation,” a pregame show that will travel to a different campus each week after the channel launches in August. The multiyear deal “will not preclude him from continuing to pursue playing opportunities in the NFL,” ESPN, which runs the network, said in a statement Monday. Tebow did not play in the league in 2013 after he was cut by the Patriots in August. In the span of just over one season, he went from a national sensation who led the Denver Broncos to the playoffs, to a backup, to out of the NFL. “While I continue to pursue my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL, this is an amazing opportunity to be part of the unparalleled passion of college football and the SEC,” Tebow said in a statement released by ESPN. ESPN senior vice president Justin Connolly called Tebow an “SEC icon with a national fan base and broad appeal.” Tebow will make his ESPN debut during pregame coverage of the BCS championship Jan. 6. After winning the 2007 Heisman and two national championships for the Gators in the SEC, Tebow became one of the biggest stories in the NFL in his second season. He went 7-1 in his first eight starts in 2011 then threw an 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime to give the Broncos a 2923 playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. But he was still dogged by doubts about his passing ability, and Denver traded him that offseason to the New York Jets after acquiring Peyton Manning. He languished on the bench while coach Rex Ryan ignored fans’ calls for Tebow to replace a struggling Mark Sanchez. Tebow threw just eight passes, ran only 32 times and was cut last April 29. For six weeks no team wanted him until the Patriots signed him to a low-risk, two-year contract with no guaranteed money.

Wallace plays sweet music for Rebs The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Bo Wallace wanted redemption for his poor play in the Egg Bowl. The Mississippi quarterback made sure the Rebels finished the season as winners. Wallace ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score, and Ole Miss beat Georgia Tech 25-17 Monday in the Music City Bowl for the Rebels’ second straight bowl victory under coach Hugh Freeze. The redshirt junior quarterback and Tennessee native made up for his three turnovers in the Egg Bowl overtime loss by throwing for 256 yards and running for 86 more, giving him the school record for total yards in a season and most completions in a season, topping Eli Manning for both. “I knew I needed to have a good game,” said Wallace, also chosen the bowl’s MVP. “At the same time, I thought all day sometimes I try to make too many plays. I think all day I was thinking, ‘Don’t

Freeze said he knew from watching Wallace prepare for this game that how the Rebels lost to rival Mississippi State
last month didn’t sit well with the quarterback. “Nor did it me,” Freeze said. “And we didn’t really have to talk about it a whole lot. I liked the way he prepared, and I was proud he was able to have the game he had today.” Ole Miss (8-5) now has won six straight bowls and 10 of the last 11 in making up for the lone loss in that stretch in the 2000 Music City Bowl. The Rebels came in tied with Auburn and Florida State, who play Jan. 6 for the BCS national championship, for the longest bowl winning streak. “I didn’t want to screw that up today,” Freeze said. “So I’m glad to win two bowl games in our first two years. With what we inherited, I think says we’re heading in the right direction for sure. It is a very positive step.” Georgia Tech (7-6) has lost eight of nine bowls.

A&M’s Manziel in spotlight in Chick-fil-A Bowl
The Associated Press
The Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. — Gov. Robert Bentley has told Auburn football players that he and the team have a lot in common. Bentley visited the team Monday. He recalled how he started his campaign for governor with 2 percent in the polls but kept working hard and won. He said the Auburn team worked hard, improved every game and never gave up on its way to the Southeastern Conference Championship and a trip to the BCS National Championship game. Bentley told the players, “I’m proud of the fact you are representing Alabama.” He urged the players to add a fifth national championship trophy to the four consecutive championships already won by Alabama universities. Bentley, a University of Alabama graduate, said he can’t attend the championship game because of work demands.
ATLANTA — Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin says Johnny Manziel surprised observers with his quiet demeanor this season following a series of offseason distractions. Sumlin said proof of Manziel’s growth also came on the field as he led No. 20 Texas A&M to a spot in tonight’s Chick-fil-A Bowl against No. 22 Duke. The bowl game could be Manziel’s college farewell. Many expect the third-year sophomore to enter the NFL draft, though he said this week he is “nowhere close” to a decision. Manziel’s every move was analyzed in his offseason following his Heisman Trophywinning freshman season. He was tossed from a fraternity party, overslept at the Man-
ning Passing Academy and was the target of an NCAA probe to determine if he signed autographs for money. All the off-field noise ended with the start of the 2013 season. Manziel served a halfgame suspension to close the NCAA issue and then went to work. “We went through the year and I think people were shocked that he’s kind of quiet,” Sumlin said Monday. “You’ve got the offseason part and then we’ve got the football season. I think he was extremely focused this year.” Sumlin said Manziel also showed more maturity in his performance. “I think he moved from an athlete that was playing quarterback to a quarterback that’s an athlete,” Sumlin said. “I think he’s improved as a passer, improved in his
knowledge of not only what we’re doing, but his knowledge of defenses, and I think that shows.” Manziel led the Southeastern Conference with his 69.1 completion percentage and 311 yards passing per game. He is the player to watch as Texas A&M (8-4) tries for bowl wins in three straight seasons for the first time in school history. Duke (10-3) will try for its first bowl win since 1961. “He’s an outstanding quarterback,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said Monday. “He’s not just an athlete. He beats you in a lot of different ways. Certainly he’s got a great receiving corps. His ability to create plays is second to none. In my lengthy career I really haven’t seen a player that creates and ad-libs as well. It’s certainly in part to
his athleticism. But there is coaching involved in that.” ■ SUSPENSIONS: Duke is without running back Jela Duncan, who was suspended this month for an undisclosed violation of its academic policy. Duncan led the Blue Devils with 562 yards rushing, and the suspension will carry through the 2014 season. Texas A&M freshman linebacker Darian Claiborne, who is tied for the team lead with 89 tackles, was suspended this month following his arrest on two drug possession charges. ■ FOURTH QUARTER IS DUKE’S TIME: Duke outscored opponents 120-44 in the fourth quarter. The Blue Devils’ defense allowed only one touchdown and three field goals in the fourth quarter during the team’s eightgame winning streak.

Vols drub Cavs behind McRae The Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Jordan McRae scored 21 points as Tennessee cruised to an 87-52 win against Virginia on Monday night. Josh Richardson and Jarnell Stokes each added 20 points for the Volunteers (8-4). Tennessee scored first and never trailed. The Cavaliers (9-4) left the hot-handed Richardson open in front of their bench, and Richardson cleanly sank a 3 that gave the Vols a 27-11 lead with 10:53 in the first half and, ultimately, control of the game. A Tennessee team that has been sluggish on offense in recent games couldn’t miss. The Vols shot 57.7 percent from the field and 8-for-11 from 3 in the first half, including a buzzer-beating half-court shot by Antonio Barton that gave them a 4826 halftime lead. Justin Anderson led Virginia with 11 points.
LIBERTY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10
State had finished below .500 eight times in a nine-year stretch. The Bulldogs closed the regular season with overtime victories over Arkansas and Ole Miss. They’re now trying to maintain that momentum. “It would be huge and give us a lot of motivation going into next year, just to keep the winning streak going,” Mississippi State cornerback Taveze Calhoun said. Mississippi State has withstood a rash of injuries and a brutal schedule. All of Mississippi State’s losses came against teams currently in the Top 25: No. 13 Oklahoma State, No. 2 Auburn, No. 14 LSU, No. 8 South Carolina, No. 20 Texas A&M and No. 3 Alabama. Rice also overcame adversity. Rice exceeded four wins in just one of David Bailiff’s first five seasons as coach. The seniors on Rice’s roster endured consecutive 4-8 seasons in 2010 and 2011. Rice linebacker Michael Kutzler recalls the program being “kind of a house divided” his first couple of seasons before the Owls developed team chemistry. Gaines’ teammates say his speech was the catalyst. “I’ll never forget it,” Rice safety Paul Porras said. “I wish I had it on tape.”

tried to rally before a safety with 4:22 left ended their last chance. “We didn’t play well enough in any facet to win the game,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. “We were fortunate that we had a chance at the end to come back and win.” Yellow Jackets lineman Adam Gotsis, who also blocked an extra point, knocked down a 32-yard field goal attempt by Andrew Ritter giving Georgia Tech the ball at their own 20 with 4:36 left trailing 23-17. But Georgia Tech lost 5 yards on the first play, then Vad Lee flipped the ball to Corey Dennis on a reverse with the receiver apparently looking to throw when he fumbled under pressure. Right tackle Ray Beno covered up the ball in the end zone for the safety. Freeze said he thought it might have been a touchdown but was glad to get some points. Johnson wishes his player had just tried to run for what he could get.
“It’s disappointing,” Johnson said. Ole Miss finally punted back to Georgia Tech with 37 seconds left. Senquez Golson intercepted Lee on the next play to seal the victory for the Rebels in the bowl, sponsored by Franklin American Mortgage Company. With a month to prepare, Ole Miss shut down the nation’s fourth-best rushing offense. Georgia Tech came in averaging 311.7 yards per game, and the Rebels smothered the Yellow Jackets, holding them to just 151 yards on the ground. Ole Miss held the ball for nearly 33 minutes and had a 477-298 edge in total offense. “That’s why it’s so difficult to play them probably in a short amount of time,” Freeze said. “You’re going to be forced to play some of your base stuff. We were able to get some different stuff in.” Ole Miss had a 23-7 lead when the Yellow Jackets scored 10 straight points. Harrison Butker capped a 64-yard drive
with a 38-yard field goal in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter, then D.J. White intercepted a Wallace pass intended for Donte Moncrief. On the next play, Lee found Darren Waller for a 72-yard catch-and-run for a TD with 13:25 left. Wallace helped Ole Miss lead 13-7 at halftime as he capped the opening possession for Ole Miss with a 17-yard run for a touchdown, and he connected with Moncrief on
a 28-yard TD catch where the receiver went down the right sideline and then held the ball out at the pylon for the score in the second quarter. But Gotsis blocked the extra point. Ritter also missed a 29-yard field goal later in the quarter that was so low it bounced off the crossbar. Georgia Tech looked impressive with its opening 14-play, 74-yard drive, and senior Robert Godhigh scored on an 8-yard

Accept Responsibilities Travel at your own risk in the sign you may see on some road or bridge. It warns the traveler of his responsibility. The Journey of life is similar - each travels at his own risk. I am the responsible party- not others, not circumstance. I have my own life to live, and I am the accountable one for the way I direct it, for my success, mistakes and failures. Surely, we should want to succeed. The Bible - “...Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every secret work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (Eccl. 12: 13-14). “...he that keepeth the law, happy is he” (Prov. 29:18). Blessings come to those who accept their responsibilities from God. You are in charge of your life. Shouldering responsibilities is a sign of maturity. The Bible-- “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I though as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (I Cor. 13:11).

You can dodge responsibility, but you cannot dodge the results of your dodging. The Bible spells out this lesson for us in the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-16). He could shirk responsibility, but not its penalty of hog-pen living. Life is truly the acceptance or evasion of responsibilities. Payments are demanded. Not some of those demands. Man, an answerable being, is responsible for: 1. His livelihood- if he doesnt provide it, he “is worse than an infidel” (I Tim. 5:8). Responsible to provide for his family 2. His debts- “Owe no man anything...” (Rom. 13:8). Man is instructed to pay all debts and obligations, private and public. This prohibits one going in debt and refusing to pay it. 3. Keep your word- “Better it is that thou shouldest not vow-make a promise- then that thou shouldest vow-make a promise-and not pay.” (Eccl. 5:5). Do not let your words cause you to sin. 4. Your Salvation- “Save yourselves from the untoward -crooked- generation.” (Acts 2:40). Each accountable person has the God given responsibility to obey the gospel. One must believe the word- turn away from sin- confess Jesus as God’s son- be baptized for the remissions of sin. Read Acts 8:26-40. Beware- Satan will hinder you. Looking back over 2013, how do I measure up? We welcome you to Northside.

Feds announce Health care sign-ups pass 1 million test sites for drone aircraft Associated Press
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — The Federal Aviation Administration announced six states on Monday that will develop test sites for drones, a critical next step for the march of the unmanned aircraft into U.S. skies. Alaska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Texas and Virginia will host the research sites, providing diverse climates, geography and air traffic environments, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said. Drones have been mainly used by the military, but governments, businesses, farmers and others are making plans to join the market. Many universities are starting or expanding drone programs. The FAA does not currently allow commercial use of drones, but it is working to develop operational guidelines by the end of 2015, although officials concede the project may take longer than expected. The FAA projects some 7,500 commercial drones could be aloft within five years of getting widespread access to American airspace. Representatives from winning states were jubilant about the FAA announcement and the likelihood that the testing will draw companies interested in cashing in on the fledgling industry. “This is wonderful news for Nevada that creates a huge opportunity for our economy,” said U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, called the announcement a “slam dunk” for central and northern New York. The competition for a test site was robust, Huerta said, as 25 entities in 24 states submitted proposals. At least one of the six sites chosen will be up and running within 180 days, while the others are expected to come online in quick succession, he said during a conference call with reporters. The designations don’t come with a financial award from the government. While selecting the sites, the FAA considered geography, climate, ground infrastructure, research needs, airspace use, aviation experience and risk. In choosing Alaska, the FAA cited a diverse set of test site locations in seven climatic zones. New York’s site at Griffiss International Airport will look into integrating drones into the congested northeast airspace. Nevada offered proximity to military aircraft from several bases.
HONOLULU — The government’s rehabilitated health insurance website has seen a December surge in customer sign-ups, pushing enrollment past the 1 million mark, the Obama administration says. Combined with numbers for state-run markets, that should put total enrollment in the new private insurance plans under President Barack Obama’s health law at about 2 million people through the end of the year, independent experts said. That would be about twothirds of the administration’s original goal of signing up 3.3 million by Dec. 31, a significant improvement given the technical problems that crippled the federal market during much of the fall. The overall goal remains to enroll 7 million people by March 31. “It looks like current enrollment is around 2 million despite all the issues,” said Dan Mendelson, CEO of Avalere Health, a market analysis firm. “It was a very impressive showing for December.” The administration said that of the more than 1.1
million people now enrolled in the federal insurance exchange, nearly 1 million signed up in December. The majority came days before a pre-Christmas deadline for coverage to start in January. Compare that with a paltry 27,000 in October, the federal website’s first, error-prone month. “We experienced a welcome surge in enrollment as millions of Americans seek access to affordable health care coverage,” Marilyn Tavenner, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said in a blog post announcing the figures. The numbers don’t represent a full accounting for the country. The federal website serves 36 states. Yet to be reported are December results from the 14 states running their own sites. Overall, states have been signing up more people than the federal government. But most of that has come from high performers such as California, New York, Washington state, Kentucky and Connecticut. Some states continue to struggle. Still, the end-of-year
spike suggests that the federal insurance marketplace is starting to pull its weight. The windfall comes at a critical moment for Obama’s sweeping health care law, which becomes “real” for many Americans on Jan. 1 as coverage through the insurance exchanges and key patient protections kick in. The administration’s concern now shifts to keeping the momentum going for sign-ups, and heading off problems that could arise when people who’ve already enrolled try to use their new insurance. “They’ve got the front end of the system working really well,” said insurance industry consultant Robert Laszewski. “Now we can move on to the next question: Do people really want to buy this?” He also estimated 2 million will probably be enrolled this year. The fledgling insurance exchanges are online markets for subsidized private coverage. Obama needs millions of mostly younger, healthy Americans to sign up to keep costs low for everyone. Open enrollment runs until the end of March.
Tavenner said fixes to the website, overhauled to address widespread technical problems, contributed to December’s figures. But things haven’t totally cleared up. Thousands of people wound up waiting on hold for telephone help on Christmas Eve for a multitude of reasons, including technical difficulties. “We have been a little bit behind the curve,” acknowledged Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, whose state has the highest proportion of uninsured residents. “Obamacare is a reality,” conceded one of the law’s opponents, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who as House oversight committee chairman has been investigating the rollout problems. However, he predicted it will only pile on costs. “The fact that people well into the middle class are going to get subsidies is going to cause them to look at healthcare...sort of in a Third World way of do we get subsidies from the government for our milk, for our gasoline and, oh, by the way, for our healthcare,” said Issa.
Home electricity use in US falling to 2001 levels Associated Press
NEW YORK — The average amount of electricity consumed in U.S. homes has fallen to levels last seen more than a decade ago, back when the smartest device in people’s pockets was a Palm pilot and anyone talking about a tablet was probably an archaeologist or a preacher. Because of more energyefficient housing, appliances and gadgets, power usage is on track to decline in 2013 for the third year in a row, to its lowest point since 2001, even though our lives are more electrified. Here’s a look at what has
changed since the last time consumption was so low.
Recovery Act funding was directed toward home-efficiency programs.
Better homes In the early 2000s, as energy prices rose, more states adopted or toughened building codes to force builders to better seal homes so heat or air-conditioned air doesn’t seep out so fast. That means newer homes waste less energy. Also, insulated windows and other building technologies have dropped in price, making retrofits of existing homes more affordable. In the wake of the financial crisis, billions of dollars in
Better gadgets Big appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners have gotten more efficient thanks to federal energy standards that get stricter ever few years as technology evolves. A typical room air conditioner — one of the biggest power hogs in the home — uses 20 percent less electricity per hour of full operation than it did in 2001, according to the Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers. Central air conditioners, refrigerators, dishwashers, water heaters, washing machines and dryers also have gotten more efficient. Other devices are using less juice, too. Some 40-inch LED televisions bought today use 80 percent less power than the cathode ray tube televisions of the past. Some use just $8 worth of electricity over a year when used five hours a day — less than a 60-watt incandescent bulb would use. Those incandescent light bulbs are being replaced with compact fluorescent bulbs and LEDs that use 70 to 80 percent less power.
