2012 Christmas Basket Fund “A Community Tradition”
Basket fund surpasses goal, ends at $20,226 The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Crossroads area as the goal was surpassed during the 17th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian 2012 Christmas Basket Fund. The 2012 food basket fund ends at $20,226, thanks to hundreds of giving individuals, civic and community groups, businesses, professionals, industries, churches and Sunday School classes. Donations received ranged from $5 to $1,000 to all points in between, but with the common goal — to make sure local families had a good meal at Christmas. It marked the first year in many there was no corporate match, but the $20,226 total is one of the most successful years in terms of community giving in the 17-year history of the local holiday food program. The civic club and newspaper set the $20,000 community fundraising goal this year Please see BASKET | 2

City to discuss liquor sales BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
More discussion of the city ordinance regulating liquor sales is on the agenda Wednesday for the Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Because the regular meeting date fell on the holiday, the board will meet at 5 p.m. Wednesday. In its prior meeting, the board requested a second draft of the proposed ordinance for the legal sale of alcoholic beverages in the city. The second draft is to include both package stores and by-the-drink sales in restaurants. It will also specify hours of sale of 10 a.m.
Regular meeting date falls on holiday, so board will meet on Wednesday to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday in package stores. Restaurant by-the-drink hours are proposed to be 10 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. The ordinance almost went to a vote in the last meeting, but some aldermen said they were not ready. Also coming back to the board on Wednesday is a continued public hearing on the
rezoning of Sawyer Road property from I-2 industrial to R-3 multi-family residential for the purpose of apartment construction. The change has the recommendation of the planning commission/board of adjustment, but a couple of neighbors spoke against the rezoning in the board’s Dec. 18 meeting. Another item returning to the agenda is a continued pub-
lic hearing for property cleanup at an apartment building at North Polk Street and Little Zion Road. Other agenda items: ■ Continued public hearing on Alva Dalton rezoning. ■ Street department surplus equipment resolution. ■ Street closure request. ■ Intent to apply for Corinth Opportunity Redevelopment District exemption. ■ Board of adjustment and planning commission matters, if any. ■ Application for electrician license from Joe Crump. ■ Minutes from the Nov. 6 and Nov. 20 board meetings.
City, county request tourism meeting Director: SVB board can’t meet, wants later joint meeting BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen and the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors have called a joint meeting for Wednesday morning to discuss concerns about the budget of the tourism office. The boards requested the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors attend the joint session for a discussion. However, the majority of the CVB board is not available to attend at 9
a.m. Wednesday, and Tourism Director Kristy White said she will request an alternate meeting date. The requested date will likely be after the CVB’s next board meeting on Jan. 15. City and county leaders have expressed concern that the CVB is not adhering to the fiscal 2013 budget as it was rewritten by the city and county after the two boards rejected the CVB’s proposed budget. The new budget became effective Oct. 1.
The city and county are now suggesting that CVB board members could face personal liability for spending beyond the rewritten budget. White said the CVB is preparing to submit another revised budget that will make $250,000 available to Crossroads Arena, as the city and county demanded, but will also meet prior contractual obligations that were not accommodated by the city-county revision. The CVB’s prior compromise offer had penciled in
$150,000 for Crossroads Arena in the $583,700 budget. The last joint city-county meeting in September resulted in an 8-3 vote to adopt the citycounty rewrite of the budget with $250,000 for the arena. The CVB chairman sought an attorney general’s opinion on whether the city and county’s line-by-line rewrite of the CVB budget is permissible. The AG’s office declined to answer the question because it can only issue official opinions on matters involving prospective actions.
Party supply store hopes for late festive rush BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Most of the area wasn’t in a festive mood when it came to ringing in the new year. Business for those wanting to purchase 2013 New Year’s party supplies was slow on Monday. “People like to rush in at the last minute,” said The Party Store owner Marsha Harrison. “But business has been slow when it comes to getting ready for New Year’s the last couple of months.” Harrison, usually closed on Monday, and her granddaughter, Brittany Patton, decided to come in for possible last-minute shoppers. “I don’t know what people are doing this year, so I came in and am playing it by ear,” said the owner. Party hats, noise makers, beads, tiaras and leis are party favorites for New Year’s, according to Harrison. “People want things like

party favors to decorate their places or allow employees to dress up for the occasion. “Things are hard now and
that might have something to do with things being slow,” said Harrison, the store owner since 2005.

Extended benefits to expire in Tennessee The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development is warning the approximately 30,000 unemployment claimants who are receiving federally extended unemployment insurance that they are facing the abrupt end of those benefits when the program expires Sunday. Congress created the Emer-
gency Unemployment Compensation (EUC08) program in 2008 to provide unemployment benefits to workers who have exhausted the first 26 weeks of state benefits (maximum). The original legislation has been amended 10 times since it became effective July 6, 2008. “We want to alert claimants that they are fast approaching
the end of federal extended benefits,” said Labor Commissioner Karla Davis. “EUC08 assistance was created as a stopgap measure for the long-term jobless until they could get work. With that ending in a couple weeks, we encourage claimants to use Jobs4TN.gov and to visit one of our Career Centers across the state for help in finding jobs.”
The last payable week for all claimants receiving EUC08 federal benefits will be the week that ended Dec. 29, meaning claimants will certify for that week and receive their last payment the first week of January. All claimants in the EUC08 program — no matter how many weeks they were initially notified they would receive, what
tier of EUC they are in, or the amount of balance in that tier — will receive their last EUC08 payment during the first week of January. After Wednesday, Tennessee will return to the system in which an approved new claim could have a maximum of up to 26 weeks of Tennessee Unemployment Compensation benefits.
Black Cat Tavern plays host Clemson student’s turtle only to snakes and crickets project takes dark twist BY SAMANTHA E. DONALDSON Daily News Journal
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Spray-paint graffiti and cartons from six-packs of beer litter the underground treasure once known as Black Cat Tavern. Formerly a well-known nightclub, the cave is now home to snakes in the summer, overgrown foliage and uneven terrain that makes it more dangerous than daring. No longer open to the public, the original entrance is bulldozed and filled with boulders, while the windows and openings in the collapsed walls are barred. The remnants of two chimneys are the only thing that rise above a gully filled with greenery. “Up until the ’70s and ’80s there was still furniture in here,” says Nate Williams, recreation superintendent for the Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Department. Armed with a flashlight and sturdy pair of shoes, Williams leads the way into an opening created from crafty teenagers years ago. For protection of anyone who would think to dive into the cave, he asks the location remain unrevealed. “Hope you aren’t offended by the dirty words,” he says with a half-hearted laugh. Once you look past the profanity and see the remaining walls and windows, you can almost hear the echoes of a jazz band, the din of conversation and even Ma Neely calling from the kitchen as the Black Cat Tavern would have been in generations past. The cave, which housed a club in the 1920s and 1930s, had three rooms divided by concrete blocks, which are speculated to be a bar, a kitchen and a dance area. It is believed the club had electricity because Walter Hill had street lights in the 1920s and 1930s, supplied from Murfreesboro Power and Light Company. Stories are told of it
being a storage space for Civil War soldiers, as well as a keep for prisoners. Later it was overtaken by bootleggers. “It was a tavern,” says local historian Greg Tucker. “It was run by a woman everyone called Ma Neely. She took it over from someone else.” Who, though, is unclear. “There have been rumors that it was a jail used in the Civil War,” Williams says. “For years people have speculated it was a speakeasy, but I’ve never been able to prove that,” Tucker says. Williams traverses the narrow spaces left between the low cave ceiling and overhang and constructed walls to point out two fireplaces that coordinate with the chimneys. “We think this may have been the bar, because that is the main entrance that was bulldozed with the boulders. I think the boulders came from some road construction project,” he says. Large rocks were pushed down an embankment to close up the opening, collapsing some of the constructed walls. There is no certainty that it won’t fall in at any moment. “It’s kind of eerie down here, isn’t it,” Williams asks, though clearly from his conversation he is fascinated with what was the Black Cat Tavern. “Someone put a lot of work into this. Makes you wonder who and when.” Following the statement, there is silence except for the trickling of an underground stream. Williams’ co-worker, Bart Fite, shares a story about his father, Murfreesboro’s former city manager, who was seen at the Black Cat Tavern in its glory. “The only thing I can really remember is my father telling me he was in a band that played down there,” Fite says. “His name was Clyde Fite, and he and his sister, Evelyn Anderson, and two or three other ones played
in a little jazz band down there. He said it was kind of a night club, a speakeasy kind of place. As far as going in there, I’ve never gone in.” The tavern “was fairsized,” according to Tucker, since it “was big enough to have a small dance floor.” Perhaps it was true, but the low ceiling doesn’t allow for much other than slow walking. “A man named Tom Cannon, he actually went down there, he told me. He used to take dates,” Tucker says. “Gus Webb, who lived across from the cave, was talking about how often there were fights down there and how good the hamburgers were down there.” “It was a rough place,” Tucker goes on. “Obviously, if it was a speakeasy, it was illegal. There may have been raids. That’s just the hearsay that I’ve heard.” After years of neglect inside the cave, Williams’ concern is that people will get adventurous, go inside and get hurt or lost. “It is not open to the public. We have more than a little work to do before it is safe for people to be down here,” he says. “But we are in preliminary discussions about how to make this space available to people.” Williams would like to see the area cleaned out and made into a tour stop, but for now, the only beings to see this piece of history are the cave crickets who reside there. While the VA hospital took possession on Jan. 1, 1938, the Black Cat Cave was donated to Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Department in 1971 by the Veterans Administration. “The VA sold the (property) to the city for $1. The deed requires it to be maintained as a park. Clearly, it had been blocked off,” Tucker says. It was blocked off for safety reasons, said Angela Jackson, assistant director of Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation.

BY JEFFREY COLLINS Associated Press
CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson University student Nathan Weaver set out to determine how to help turtles cross the road. He ended up getting a glimpse into the dark souls of some humans. Weaver put a realistic rubber turtle in the middle of a lane on a busy road near campus. Then he got out of the way and watched over the next hour as seven drivers swerved and deliberately ran over the animal. Several more apparently tried to hit it but missed. “I’ve heard of people and from friends who knew people that ran over turtles. But to see it out here like this was a bit shocking,” said Weaver, a 22-year-old senior in Clemson’s School of Agricultural, Forest and Environmental Sciences. To seasoned researchers, the practice wasn’t surprising. The number of box turtles is in slow decline, and one big reason is that many wind up as roadkill while crossing the asphalt, a slow-and-steady trip that can take several minutes. Sometimes humans feel a need to prove they are the dominant species on this planet by taking a two-ton metal vehicle and squishing a defenseless creature under the tires, said Hal Herzog, a Western Carolina University psychology professor. “They aren’t thinking, really. It is not something people think about. It just seems fun at the time,” Herzog said. “It is the dark side of human nature.” Herzog asked a class of
about 110 students getting ready to take a final whether they had intentionally run over a turtle, or been in a car with someone who did. Thirty-four students raised their hands, about twothirds of them male, said Herzog, author of a book about humans’ relationships with animals, called “Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat.” Weaver, who became interested in animals and conservation through the Boy Scouts and TV’s “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, wants to figure out the best way to get turtles safely across the road and keep the population from dwindling further. Among the possible solutions: turtle underpasses or an education campaign aimed at teenagers on why drivers shouldn’t mow turtles down. The first time Weaver went out to collect data on turtles, he chose a spot down the road from a big apartment complex that caters to students. He counted 267 vehicles that passed by, seven of them intentionally hitting his rubber reptile. He went back out about a week later, choosing a road in a more residential area. He followed the same procedure, putting the fake turtle in the middle of the lane, facing the far side of the road, as if it was early in its journey across. The second of the 50 cars to pass by that day swerved over the center line, its right tires pulverizing the plastic shell. “Wow! That didn’t take long,” Weaver said. Other cars during the hour missed the turtle. But right after his ob-
servation period was up, before Weaver could retrieve the model, another car moved to the right to hit the animal as he stood less than 20 feet away. “One hit in 50 cars is pretty significant when you consider it might take a turtle 10 minutes to cross the road,” Weaver said. Running over turtles even has a place in Southern lore. In South Carolina author Pat Conroy’s semi-autobiographical novel “The Great Santini,” a fighter-pilot father squishes turtles during a late-night drive when he thinks his wife and kids are asleep. His wife confronts him, saying: “It takes a mighty brave man to run over turtles.” The father denies it at first, then claims he hits them because they are a road hazard. “It’s my only sport when I’m traveling,” he says. “My only hobby.” That hobby has been costly to turtles. It takes a turtle seven or eight years to become mature enough to reproduce, and in that time, it might make several trips across the road to get from one pond to another, looking for food or a place to lay eggs. A female turtle that lives 50 years might lay over 100 eggs, but just two or three are likely to survive to reproduce, said Weaver’s professor, Rob Baldwin. Snakes also get run over deliberately. Baldwin wishes that weren’t the case, but he understands, considering the widespread fear and loathing of snakes. But why anyone would want to run over turtles is a mystery to the professor.

Troopers boost DUI enforcement BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
Five people lost their lives in vehicular crashes on Tennessee roadways during last year’s New Year’s Eve holiday period. Sixty percent of those fatalities occurred in alcoholrelated crashes. That’s why the Tennessee Highway Patrol will join with local law enforcement agencies to conduct another “No Refusal” DUI enforcement campaign during the 201213 New Year’s Eve holiday, which began Friday and concludes at midnight tonight. “No Refusal” is the latest enforcement strategy aimed at deterring impaired driving and reducing fatal crashes on Tennessee roadways. The law, passed this year by the General Assembly, allows law enforcement officials to seek search warrants for blood samples in cases involving suspected impaired drivers. Previous “No Refusal” enforcements in Tennessee have been held during several holiday periods this year, including the Fourth of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving.
“No Refusal” is the latest enforcement strategy aimed at deterring impaired driving and reducing fatal crashes on Tennessee roadways. “The Tennessee Highway Patrol’s eight district captains have worked tirelessly to coordinate this effort with local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, judges and emergency services personnel in their respective regions,” Department of Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons said. “They take their duty to ensure the public’s safety seriously, and this enforcement effort is proof of their commitment.” Of the five people killed during last year’s New Year’s Eve period, three were not wearing safety restraints. In 2012, 52.4 percent of vehicle occupant fatalities are from unrestrained vehicle occupants in Tennessee. Additionally, alcohol related crashes are on the rise across the state. There have been 7,567 alcohol crashes already this
year. That’s an increase of 182 more impaired driving crashes (2.5 percent) than this time last year. “State Troopers will be aggressively looking for impaired drivers during the New Year’s holiday. Also, we will be making every effort to remind citizens to buckle up. Alcohol and seat belt usage are contributing factors in too many crashes across the state. Our goal is to save lives this holiday season and to usher in the New Year on the right foot,” Colonel Tracy Trott said. In 2011, an estimated 262 people died in Tennessee traffic crashes involving a driver or motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. That’s a 7.4 percent decline from the 283 impaired driving deaths in 2010, and a 12.4 percent decline from the 299 impaired driving deaths in 2009.
nold of Tupelo and Doris Studdard of Corinth; a sister-inlaw, Leola Robinson of Corinth; and other relatives and a host of friends.

Arts in McNairy hosts percussion program BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
Arts in McNairy is proud to present UT Martin’s World Percussion The Roots of Rhythm performance on Jan. 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Latta Visitor’s and Cultural Center in Selmer. “Roots of Rhythm: The evolution of clave through the slave trade is an engaging multi-sensory performance designed to allow the exploration of other cultures through music. Our program includes Steel Drums and Tamboo Bamboo instruments from Trinidad, Shona Marimbas from Zimbabwe, Traditional Dundun Drums from Guinea, Brazilian Samba instruments, and much more” said Dr. Julie Hill, director of the UTM Percussion Ensemble. “Arts in McNairy is excited to bring Dr. Hill and her talented students to perform at the Latta” said Paige Holmes, AiM managing direc-
tor. “AiM has had a long history of partnering with UT Martin for artistic events.” This highenergy concert will be a fun adventure exploring different rhythms from around the world. Dr. Hill pointed out that McNairy County has many performers and past graduates of the UTM percussion group. She explained, “Performing for the McNairy Arts Council Series is a great honor for the UT Martin Percussion Ensemble. For me, it’s extra special as I currently have three students in the ensemble that are McNairy County natives: Katie McClain (senior, McNairy Central), Zach Congiardo (sophomore, Adamsville H.S.), and Jerry Emmons (first year, McNairy Central). Additionally, one of my percussion graduates, Daniel Vargason, teaches band in the McNairy County Schools.” “I am so proud of Dan-
iel and his achievements. Both Daniel and Ryan Foret have been amazingly supportive of UT Martin as well as Frank Congiardo, the band director at Adamsville, who also is one of the percussion studio graduates in which we are most proud. It’s nice to be able to do something for them for a change and on their home turf to boot! With the UTM Selmer Center being such a vibrant part of our off campus offerings, it makes it even more special to be able to reach out musically to Selmer and the surrounding community. We are grateful for this opportunity to perform,” said Dr. Hill. Admission for the performance is $5 for adults and $3 for students. Tickets will be sold at the door starting at 6:15 p.m. For more information about the UTM Percussion Ensemble, go online to its site at http://www. utm.edu/organizations/ percussion/

Judges see raises with new year BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. JACKSON — The new year marks the beginning of four years’ of incremental salary increases for Mississippi judges — thanks to Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. for a novel funding method that didn’t raid the treasury. The judges’ last pay raise was in 2003. The new pay scale approved by the Legislature and Gov. Phil Bryant in 2012 increases salaries in four annual steps, topping out in 2016. It not only increases salaries for members of the Supreme Court and state Court of Appeals but also for chancery, circuit and county court judges as well as district attorneys and their assistants. Money for the raises would come from increasing filing fees in civil and appellate courts. Raises for district attorneys and assistant district attorneys would come from fee increases for various felonies and misdemeanors, including speeding and littering. For example, court filing fees will increase $40 to cover the raises. Fines for crimes and traffic tickets will increase $10 to cover prosecutors’ raises. Salaries for judges are set by state law. County court judges’ salaries vary by county population. “The Judicial Compensation Realignment Act will help the judiciary retain and attract the best and brightest judges to serve the people of Mississippi. There is no additional burden on the taxpayers as it is funded by user fees,” Waller said in an email statement to the Associated Press. Waller approached the Legislature with the user fee proposal in 2011. The bill passed the Senate but died in the House amid a tight budget year in which no other public employee got a raise. Waller and other supporters said many judges and prosecutors could easily make more money in private practice and pay increases would help keep bright legal minds in public service. During the 2011 debate, Waller said the court system had experienced “for the first time in recent history, the highest rate of turnover I’ve seen.” Between legislative sessions, Waller and some other justices went out across the state speaking to any group that would listen. At a meeting of the Gulf Coast Business Council, Justice Michael Randolph reminded those attending that the last time judges received a raise gasoline was $1.89 a gallon. In 2012, Waller gave lawmakers another reason to approve the pay package; one that likely was very attractive. He said the new funding mechanism would keep judges out of the Capitol, preventing them from having to involve themselves so much in the legislative process and allowing them to focus on judicial duties. The law provides for a system by which the State Personnel Board would regularly re-evaluate the salaries of Mississippi judges and district attorneys. The board would make recommendations to the Legislature for new compensation based on how those salaries compare to other states, rates of inflation, and the general economic climate. “This will help create more judiciary independence by separating the Legislature and the judiciary on this issue,” Waller said last April. For lawmakers, it meant no throng of judges lobbying them in the hallways of the Capitol and an end to dozens of phone calls from jurists back home. Beginning Jan. 1, the chief justice will be paid $126,292, while two presiding justices will get $123,600 each and six associate Justices $122,460 each. The chief judge of the Court of Appeals will earn $117,992 and nine associate judges with each earn $114,994. Chancery and circuit judges will be paid $112,127 each. District attorneys will be paid $103,322 a year with their assistants paid a prorated percentage of their boss’ salary depending on experience. County court judges will receive an annual salary supplement of $7,957. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jack Elliott is writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)
Prayer for today God, help us to live in the goodness that comes from doing what you want us to do. Help us to put aside anxiety about the future and the past, so that we might live in peace with you now, one day at a time. Amen.

P.O. Box 1800 Corinth, MS 38835
Not easy to say ‘Happy New Year’ The beginning of a new year is often a time to look forward and look back. The way the future looks, I prefer to look back -- and depend on my advanced age to spare me from having to deal with too much of the future. If there are any awards to be given to anyone for what they did in 2012, one of those rewards should be for prophecy, if only because prophecies that turn out to be right are so rare. With that in mind, my choice for the prediction of the year award goes to Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal for his column of January 24, 2012 titled: “The GOP Deserves to Lose.” Despite reciting a litany of reasons why President Obama deserved to be booted out of the White House, Stephens said, “Let’s just say right now what voters will be saying in November, once Barack Obama has been re-elected: Republicans deserve to lose.” To me, the Republican establishment is the 8th wonder of the world. How they can keep repeating the same mistakes for decades on end is beyond my ability to explain. Bret Stephens said, back at the beginning of 2012, that Mitt Romney was one of the “hollow men,” and that voters “usually prefer
the man who stands for something.” Yet this is not just about Mitt Romney. He Thomas is only the Sowell latest in a long series of Columnist presidential candidates backed by a Republican establishment that seems convinced that ad hoc “moderation” is where it’s at -- no matter how many of their ad hoc moderates get beaten by even vulnerable, unknown or discredited Democrats. Back in 1948, when the Democratic Party splintered into three parties, each one with its own competing presidential candidate, Republican candidate Thomas E. Dewey was considered a shoo-in. Best-selling author David Halberstam described what happened: “Dewey’s chief campaign tactic was to make no mistakes, to offend no one. His major speeches, wrote the Louisville Courier Journal, could be boiled down ‘to these historic four sentences: Agriculture is important. Our rivers are full of fish. You cannot have freedom without liberty. The future lies ahead...’” Does this sound like a more recent Republican presidential candidate?
Meanwhile, President Harry Truman was on the attack in 1948, with speeches that had many people saying, “Give ‘em hell, Harry.” He won, even with the Democrats’ vote split three ways. But, to this day, the Republican establishment still goes for pragmatic moderates who feed pablum to the public, instead of treating them like adults. It is not just Republican presidential candidates who cannot be bothered to articulate a coherent argument, instead of ad hoc talking points. Have you yet heard House Speaker John Boehner take the time to spell out why Barack Obama’s argument for taxing “millionaires and billionaires” is wrong? It is not a complicated argument. Moreover, it is an argument that has been articulated many times in plain English by conservative talk show hosts and by others in print. It has nothing to do with being worried about the fate of millionaires or billionaires, who can undoubtedly take care of themselves. What we all should be worried about are high tax rates driving American investments overseas, when there are millions of Americans who could use the jobs that those investments would create at home.
Yet Obama has been allowed to get away with the emotional argument that the rich can easily afford to pay more, as if that is the issue. But it will be the issue if no one says otherwise. One of the recent sad reminders of the Republicans’ tendency to leave even lies and smears unanswered was a television replay of an old interview with the late Judge Robert Bork, whose nomination to the Supreme Court was destroyed by character assassination. Judge Bork said that he was advised not to answer Ted Kennedy’s wild accusations because those false accusations would discredit themselves. That supposedly sophisticated advice cost the country one of the great legal minds of our time — and left us with a wavering Anthony Kennedy in his place on the Supreme Court. Some people may take solace from the fact that there are some articulate Republicans like Marco Rubio who may come forward in 2016. But with Iran going nuclear and North Korea developing missiles that can hit California, it may be too late by then.

What is the price of US citizenship? HONG KONG — We read about famous people like French film star Gerard Depardieu, who moved to Belgium to avoid a 75 percent income tax on millionaires proposed by France’s Socialist government (a measure rejected last week by a French council, though French leadership has vowed to resubmit a similar proposal). Then there is Eduardo Saverin, who took the extreme step of giving up his U.S. citizenship and could see a savings of $39 million on his Facebook investment, according to the research firm Wealth-X. I had read about financially motivated expatriates but never knew one who had taken the ultimate step until I visited with my longtime friend “Sam” (I’m withholding his real name to protect his current employment). Sam works for a large investment firm. He says that five years ago, he began thinking he could no longer “afford to be an American.” Contributing to his decision was the cost of sending his five children to college. Even though he

and his wife pay taxes on a home in California, the state has denied them in-state Cal college tuThomas ition, meaning it could Columnist cost them $50,000 per child. While there is a $95,100 earned U.S. income tax exclusion, Sam says it isn’t enough to substantially reduce his U.S. taxes and cover his costs. Here is how burdensome U.S. tax laws have become: Seven years ago, Sam left a major investment banking firm based in the U.S. to join another international bank. The law required that his 14 years of pension savings become current income and taxed it at a rate of 35 percent. He says he could not roll over the account due to a “quirk” in the law. Hong Kong citizens are taxed at a rate of only 15 percent. Sam says his decision was “emotionally difficult. My parents worried I would not be able to return to see them

in the U.S. (He managed to get a 10-year tourist visa.) I would have to give up the right to vote or run for political office. I was concerned that others would call me a traitor or deserter.” “I had paid over $1 million in U.S. taxes but didn’t receive any benefits, nor did my wife and kids. (She maintains her U.S. citizenship.) ... A dozen of my friends who have lived over 10 years in Asia have done the same. We can no longer afford to be American citizens.” Eugene Chow, an attorney who specializes in helping Americans give up their U.S. citizenship, told The Wall Street Journal’s “Asia Today” program that while such actions continue to be rare, they are increasing. He says people pay a high price for giving up their citizenship. Not only is there an “exit tax,” but all appreciated assets, including a home, are assessed a 15 percent capital gains tax, even if they haven’t been sold. Chow says, “The IRS is essentially outsourcing its compliance rules to nonAmerican-related compa-

nies and they are saying to Americans, ‘We don’t want your business.’ So that’s more of a practical reason for why some people choose to give up their passports — to make it a less complicated life living overseas.” While the media love to focus on billionaires, says Chow, most who renounce U.S. citizenship are “people who have changed circumstances; people ... who have lived and worked (overseas) for the last 10-15 years, who might have married a foreign spouse and who believe their future is overseas, rather than back in the U.S.” With so many foreigners wanting to become U.S. citizens, it’s still a shock to know someone who has relinquished his citizenship. It is another reason for simplifying the U.S. tax code. America should want to retain people with the skills and experience of people like Sam, who have contributed more than tax money to their (now former) country.

State Reign of Southaven mayor shows several firsts BY YOLANDA JONES The Commercial Appeal
SOUTHAVEN — Greg Davis was a 24-year-old self-employed engineering consultant working out of his parents’ home when he decided to run for a seat in the Mississippi House of Representatives. The year was 1990. State Rep. John Grisham, who held the seat, had decided not to finish the final year of his term, so that he could concentrate on becoming an author. Davis won the seat
in a runoff by defeating Southaven Alderwoman Lorine Cady. The victory launched his political career, one that has included many historic firsts. His first history-making moment came in the late 1990s. After seven years as a Republican state representative, he left the state Capitol in Jackson, Miss., and came back to Southaven, his hometown, to be closer to his family. After learning that former Southaven Mayor Joe Cates would not be
seeking re-election, Davis ran for mayor and won a landslide victory with 63 percent of the vote. In 1997, at age 31, he became Southaven’s first mayor under 40. Now, 15 years later, Davis’ career has reached another, more somber milestone. After a yearlong, joint state and federal investigation, the DeSoto County grand jury returned a three-count indictment against Davis. “Since I’ve been in DeSoto County, and I’ve been here since 1992, it
is the first time a mayor in our county has been indicted to my knowledge,” said DeSoto County District Attorney John Champion. “We have other public officials like members of the Board of Supervisors indicted in the late 1970s, but I believe that this is the first mayor to be indicted.” The indictment accuses him of embezzlement, false pretense and making false statements to authorities. The charges are linked to his city-leased vehicle and the use of city

al” according to state law. After a seven-month investigation, Auditor Stacey Pickering found that Davis misspent city funds on clothing, a family trip, gay sex shop merchandise and other personal items. For the last 15 years, Davis has been at the helm of one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. Last year, Southaven was ranked No. 6 in CNN Money’s Top 25 places to retire and No. 24 in the website’s list of top 25 places for affordable housing in the U.S.

gasoline used for his personal vehicle. The allegations also involve a $1,000 check Davis received from the city for a donation intended for the Bully Bloc, a political action committee at Mississippi State University. Investigators say the PAC never received the donation. In Mississippi, Davis can remain in office under the indictment. If he is convicted of the felony charges, then “the Attorney General of the State of Mississippi shall promptly enter a motion for remov-

New laws addressing gays, kids, immigration BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press
Measures on gay rights and child safety are among the top state laws taking effect at the start of 2013, along with attempts to prevent identity theft and perennial efforts to restrict abortion and illegal immigration. In many states, new laws take effect today, while in others they do so 90 days after a governor’s signature. Voter-approved laws allowing same-sex couples to marry take effect in Maryland in January and in Maine on Saturday. California also approved a law exempting clergy members opposed to gay marriage from performing same-sex marriage ceremonies. In California, a first-ofits-kind law bans a form of psychotherapy aimed at making gay teenagers straight but is on hold during a court challenge. The law would ban what is known as reparative or conversion therapy for minors; such therapies are widely discredited by medical professionals. A number of laws seek to protect children from bullying and abuse. Pennsylvania school employees in contact with children, who already must report suspected abuse, must now be trained to recognize the warning
signs, their legal obligations and what are considered appropriate relationships with children. That law was being debated and voted on in June as a jury was finding former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky guilty of 45 counts for sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. California coaches and administrators in K-12 schools, as well as higher education employees who have regular contact with children, will be required to report suspected child sexual abuse. Oregon will require schools to adopt a policy on teen dating violence, a law that follows state legislation earlier this year requiring school employees to report acts of bullying, harassment and online bullying. In Florida, the Safe Harbor Act includes provisions that require police to turn over to the Department of Children and Families any children who are alleged to be sexually exploited or dependent for assessment and possible shelter. States continue to wrestle with illegal immigration. Pennsylvania will include a requirement that contractors on public works projects make sure through the federal E-Verify system that their employees are legal U.S. residents, while a Montana ballot measure taking
effect denies illegal immigrants of state services. Supporters say the Montana law will prevent illegal immigrants from obtaining services and prevent them from taking jobs at a time of high unemployment. Opponents argued there is no proof illegal immigrants are using state services. Also in Montana, voters overwhelmingly passed a measure requiring parental notification for minors’ abortions, while in Georgia a new law will prohibit doctors from performing an abortion 20 weeks after an egg is fertilized unless a pregnancy is determined to be medically futile, meaning it would result in the birth of a child unlikely to survive because of a serious defect. Georgia became the seventh state to approve the so-called fetal pain act. “Today, we are reaffirming Georgia’s commitment to preserving the sanctity of all human life,� Gov. Nathan Deal said in a statement in May. New Hampshire enacts a ban on a type of late-term abortion procedure sometimes called “partial birth abortion� after lawmakers overrode the veto of Gov. John Lynch, who said the measure was unnecessary because federal law already prohibits such procedures. Supporters of the ban say they don’t trust the government to prosecute the law.
graders, has claimed his son’s body, a spokesman for the family said Monday. The remains of Adam Lanza were claimed by Peter Lanza, the spokesman said. He said there were private arrangements over the weekend, but would not elaborate on what those arrangements were. The office of Connecticut’s medical examiner released the body on Thursday to a person who asked to be anonymous, according to Linda Sylvia, an office spokeswoman. Adam Lanza, 20, slaughtered the children and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. He also killed his mother in their Newtown home before going on the rampage and then committing suicide. A private funeral was held earlier this month in New Hampshire for his mother, Nancy Lanza, who was divorced from Peter Lanza. Peter Lanza lives in Stamford, Conn., and is a tax director at General Electric. Authorities have not offered a motive for the killings. State police say they have been exploring all aspects of Adam Lanza’s life including his education, family history and medical treatment for clues. Police have said it
could take months to produce a final report on their investigation. Â

AP sources: ’Fiscal cliff’ deal emerging WASHINGTON — The contours of a deal to avert the ‘fiscal cliff’ emerged Monday, with Democrats and Republicans agreeing to raise tax rates on family income over $450,000 a year, increase the estate tax rate and extend unemployment benefits for one year, officials familiar with the negotiations said. But with a midnight deadline rapidly approaching, both sides were at an impasse over whether to put off automatic, across-the-
board spending cuts set to take effect on Jan. 1, and if so, how to pay for that. One official said talks were focused on a two-month delay in the across-the-board cuts but negotiators had yet to agree on about $24 billion in savings from elsewhere in the budget. Officials emphasized that negotiations were continuing and the emerging deal was not yet final. President Barack Obama was to speak about the status of the negotiations from the White House Monday afternoon. The proposal in the works would raise the
A NEW NEW YEAR As we stand on the brink of another new year, let us think of the many opportunities and struggles it will provide. Let us think of those who will name the name of Christ in baptist, and let us work to help them make the most important decision of their lives. Let us think of those who will come back to the Lord, and let s pray for them and encourage them in every way for good. Let us think of those among us who will leave this world of sin and sorrow for the bright and sunny shores of eternity, where no sin or sorrow may be found, and let us learn from their godly examples. Let us also think of what we will use the new year for.. Will We Use It For Gaining A Better Knowledge of God’s Word? There are many good things for us to learn in life, but none begin to compare with the value of a knowledge of the blessed Word of God. It will go with us through all other educational endeavors, it will accompany us through our working years, it will be there for the birth and rearing of our children, it will be there for us in our sickness, even going with us to the grave, and it will st and as a witness to our faithfulness in the after while. May we determine to spend some time each day of this new year studying the Bible. May it be of greater importance to us than all other pursuits. Will We use It To Mature Spiritually? Will we apply the things we are taught in the Bible to our lives and thereby set a better example before others? Will we be diligent in attendance, showing all the world that there is no place on earth we would rather be than in the assembly of the saints worshipping God. Will we put to practice what the Bible teaches? Will We Use It To Tell Someone Of Jesus Christ? Remember, our family, friends and neighbors are rushing headlong into judgment. Have we told them what God requires of them in order to be saved? we see them daily, and would probably do anything on earth for them, but have we told them how to get to heaven? Is it really so difďŹ cult and risky to speak a word in the interest of their souls (Prov. 11:30)? Yes, the ringing in of a brand new year is at hand; and with it the resolutions. Perhaps you have collected too much clutter. YOu have resolved to rid yourself of that unsettled feeling you experience when you enter your home. What will you do with the excess...throw it away...have a yard sale? You may be feeling the same confusion in your life. Today’s world is a barrage of input that seems to clutter our very souls. How will you decide what is worth retaining? Ben Jonson, renowned seventeenth century dramatist, poet, and wit, advised, “Weigh the meaning and look at the words.â€? We must prioritize this information. What is more important to know in order to live a useful, peaceful, and joyous life? God’s Word should be of utmost consideration when we establish these priorities, for our understanding of God’s Word sets the stage for our life. When we follow His advice, everything falls into place. We know what is important and what is not. The result is a sense of peace and joy, even amid the confusion of life. In Romans 14:19 we read, “Let us then pursue what makes for peace...â€? Won’t you begin this year with worship in God’s House. It is the best

tax rates on family income over $450,000 from 35 percent to 39.6 percent, the same level as under former President Bill Clinton. Also, estates would be taxed at 40 percent after the first $5 million for an individual and $10 million for a couple, up from 35 percent to 40 percent. Unemployment benefits would be extended for one year. Without the extension, 2 million people would lose benefits beginning in early January. Urgent talks were continuing Monday afternoon between the White House and congressional Republicans, with longtime negotiating partners Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell at the helm. Underscoring the flurry of activity, another GOP aide said the two men had conversations at 12:45 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Monday. Â
Hillary Clinton remains hospitalized WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is under observation at a New York hospital after being treated for a blood clot
stemming from the concussion she sustained earlier this month. Clinton’s doctors discovered the clot Sunday while performing a follow-up exam, her spokesman, Philippe Reines, said. He would not elaborate on the location of the clot but said Clinton was being treated with anti-coagulants and would remain at New York-Presbyterian Hospital for at least the next 48 hours so doctors can monitor the medication. “Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion,â€? Reines said in a statement. “They will determine if any further action is required.â€? Clinton, 65, fell and suffered a concussion while at home alone in mid-December as she recovered from a stomach virus that left her severely dehydrated. The concussion was diagnosed Dec. 13. Â

Psychiatric test set for subway suspect NEW YORK — A woman accused of shoving a man to his death in front of a subway train because she believed he was Muslim laughed and smiled during a court hearing where she was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Erika Menendez was charged Saturday night with murder as a hate crime after she told police she spontaneously pushed Sunando Sen, according to prosecutors. “There is no reason. I just pushed him in front of the train because I thought it would be cool,� she said, according to the Queens district attorney’s office. Menendez, 31, laughed so hard during her arraignment in Queens criminal court that Judge Gia Morris told her lawyer: “You’re going to have to have your client stop laughing.� Defense attorney Dietrich Epperson said Menendez’s behavior in court was no different from how she had been acting when he spoke to her privately. Menendez was held without bail and ordered to have a mental health exam.

Vandy wins Music City Bowl BY TERESA M. WALKER Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Southeastern Conference is so strong that now even Vanderbilt, yes Vandy, is winning like the Commodores haven’t in nearly a century. Jordan Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Vanderbilt Commodores capped their best season since 1915 Monday by beating North Carolina State 38-24 in the Music City Bowl. The Commodores finished 9-4 for their best record since going 9-1 in 1915, and it’s only the third time the smallest and only private university
in the Southeastern Conference has won as many as nine games in a season. They also finished with seven straight wins, their longest streak since winning eight in 1948. Vanderbilt forced a seasonhigh five turnovers, including four in the first half, and turned those into 17 points. N.C. State (7-6) wrapped up the season under interim coach Dana Bible snapping a two-game bowl winning streak. The Wolfpack had their fifth game this season with at least four turnovers, and that helped wipe out a 424-225 advantage in total offense. This was the 27th bowl all-
time for N.C. State, and the Wolfpack had every coach working this game except Tom O’Brien, who was fired at the end of the regular season. But a team that ranked second in the Atlantic Coast Conference in turnovers couldn’t overcome its own mistakes, which also included a bad shotgun snap that cost the Wolfpack 21 yards on the opening drive. Vandy coach James Franklin got a contract extension a month ago for guiding the Dores to a second straight bowl game for the first time in school history. Franklin didn’t change anything that got his Commodores here as
he went for it on fourth down, used the wildcat repeatedly and even had senior running back Zac Stacy attempt a halfback pass to Rodgers. The Commodores took control from the opening drive, moving 65 yards for a touchdown that put them ahead to stay. Officials initially called Chris Boyd out of bounds, but review showed the sophomore got the toes of his right foot down for a 5-yard TD pass from Rodgers. Commodores safety Kenny Ladler picked off a Glennon pass at the North Carolina State 45 for Vanderbilt’s fifth Please see VANDY | 8

Longhorn’s attorney: No sexual assault actually occurred Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — An attorney representing one of the two Texas football players suspended before the Alamo Bowl says a sexual assault allegation against his client is “completely false.” Perry Minton says in a written statement that linebacker Jordan Hicks “vehemently asserts” that the conduct under investigation by San Antonio police was “consensual by everyone involved.” Texas coach Mack Brown suspended two unidentified players last Friday. The suspensions followed a San Antonio television station’s report that police were investigating two UT players — also unnamed — for alleged sexual assault. A person with knowledge of the suspensions told The Associated Press that Hicks and quarterback Case McCoy were the players. A police report says a 21-year-old woman accused two unnamed students of assaulting her early Friday morning at a downtown hotel.

BCS busters NIU faces Florida State in miami BY STEVEN WINE Associated Press
MIAMI — Florida State’s biggest weakness heading into their Orange Bowl game against Northern Illinois might be Midwestern geography. The Seminoles concede they’d be hard-pressed to locate their opponent in an atlas.
“I could probably find Illinois,” receiver Rashad Greene said. “I don’t really know where the town is. Actually I don’t even know the town.” It’s DeKalb. “DeKalb?” Seminoles kicker Dustin Hopkins said. “Hey, next time I’ll know.” “I thought it was in Chicago,” quarterback EJ Manuel said.
Cue the cliche: A victory Tuesday night would put Northern Illinois on the map. The No. 16-ranked Huskies have been widely derided as unworthy of a BCS bowl berth, which makes them eager for validation when they face No. 13 Florida State. “We’re playing a team that is going to be willing to bloody their noses and get after you,”
Seminoles offensive coordinator James Coley warned. Northern Illinois (12-1) is the first Mid-American Conference team to play in the Bowl Championship Series. The Huskies made it when they cracked the top 16 in the final standings by 0.0404 points, setting off a celebraPlease see BCS | 8
Georgia Bulldogs, Nebraska Huskers seek redemption in Cap One Bowl BY KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Georgia coach Mark Richt wants the lasting memory his team has of this season to be a positive one. Nothing will give the sixth-ranked Bulldogs a second chance to get back the 5 yards they came up short in their SEC championship game loss to Alabama. Still, Richt is hoping that Tuesday’s Capital One Bowl against equally redemption-minded Nebraska will be a huge initial step. “There’s always a scene in the locker room after the game, and I’m going to be addressing seniors for the very last time,” Richt said. “You want that last memory to be a good one. That’s a big motivating factor for me and I think it probably is for anyone who’s thinking ‘Hey, this might be my last ball game.”’
On the other side of the field will be a Nebraska team that has been asked ad nauseam this week about how it could possibly get over its humiliating 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game. Like Georgia, Nebraska also enters the postseason with a two-game bowl losing streak. It’s why Cornhuskers coach Bo Pelini hasn’t sugarcoated at all this week the reality of the disappointment his team carries with it into this game. “No, matter what happens...you’ll never wipe that taste out of your mouth,” Pelini said. “That isn’t going away, regardless of what happens (Tuesday). To me life is about opportunities. It’s about challenges. It’s what drives me and it’s why I’m in this profession. It’s why I do what I do and why the players play.
“When it was presented to me of which opportunity we were going to take, we took the one we thought was the biggest challenge for our team.” Their previous shortcomings aside, both teams can also achieve program milestones with a win Tuesday. Only two previous Georgia teams have recorded 12 victories in a season, and Nebraska is trying for its first 11-win season since 2001. “Definitely looking forward to it. It’s been kind of an up and down year, but I am just excited to play against Georgia,” Nebraska senior running back Rex Burkhead said. “They have a great defense, great team and I’m just ready to get back out there with my team and have another chance to go out with a bang.” Burkhead only appeared in seven games this season
as he battled a left knee injury that kept him on the sidelines at different points this season. It put the Cornhuskers primary rushing duties on junior quarterback Taylor Martinez and sophomore running back Ameer Abdullah, who led the team with 1,089 yards. Martinez had a team-high 10 rushing scores. Freshman Imani Cross also chipped in seven touchdowns. “They have done a tremendous job,” Burkhead said. “You know they had a great off season just to prepare for this season. I think you see them playing a lot faster this year just seeing things quicker, and that’s probably the biggest strides they made from last year, and it’s awesome to watch. I didn’t play for a lot of games this year, so it was just kind of cool seeing them develop and mature throughout this year and showcasing their
abilities and what they can do.” Now Burkhead and company will combine to try to exploit a Georgia defense that had the eighthranked passing defense in the country (surrendering just 173.5 yards per game), but a rushing defense that gave up 177.8 yards on the ground. Nebraska’s rushing defense was even worse, giving up 194.9 yards per game. Georgia defensive end Garrison Smith thinks the key, though, will be keeping a throwing and running threat like Martinez off balance. “It’s just going to be hard to contain him,” he said. “Everybody is just going to have to give our all and give hundred percent, give our best to get after them, which is hard when you are playing such a great player like him.”
That said, Bulldogs sophomore defensive end Ray Drew said he and his teammates welcome the opportunity to matchup up with the Cornhuskers’ multipronged attack. “We respect Nebraska,” said Drew. “As usual, we fear no one but respect everyone. I think we know what we need to do down here to leave with a ‘W’.” Taking a cue from his coach, Murray said like Richt, he wants Tuesday to be a celebration for the Bulldogs’ seniors. That list includes junior linebacker Jarvis Jones, who could make the jump to the NFL this offseason. “I know all the underclassmen really want to send them off the right way,” Murray said. “Like I said, I know me personally, I have yet to win or be part of a winning bowl game, so I really want to win.”

interception in three games. It was just a sign of what was to come in the first half. Johnell Thomas stripped Wolfpack freshman Shadrach Thornton of the ball late in the first quarter, and Derreon Herring stripped N.C. State tight end Asa Watson of the ball after a nice catch. Ladler recovered that ball. And safety Eric Samuels intercepted Glennon with 54 seconds left in the first half. Vanderbilt finally converted the third turnover as Stacy, Vanderbilt’s all-time leading rusher, carried four straight times with the last three off the wildcat. Stacy scored on a 6-yard run with 10:08 left in the second quarter for a 14-0 lead. Tony Creecy scored on a 1-yard TD run for the Wolfpack. But Vanderbilt stuck with the wildcat, and Wesley Tate scored on a 7-yard TD run for a 21-7 lead with 3:47 left in the second quarter. Tobias Palmer, who struggled catching the ball on his first two kickoff returns, caught the next cleanly and ran untouched 94 yards for a TD to keep the Wolfpack within 21-14.

tion in DeKalb and a backlash everywhere else. The BCS busters arrived in south Florida without apology. “There are a lot of angry people out there,” NIU offensive coordinator Bob Cole said. “But there are probably 120 of us in the hotel that are really happy about the whole deal. We don’t really care what everybody else thinks.” The bowl berth meant 17 Huskies would see the ocean for the first time. One story about the team used the phrase “bowl bumpkins.” “We laugh at it, whatever that’s supposed to mean,” linebacker Tyrone Clark said. “We take this as an amazing opportunity for the MAC, the school and the players.” Actually, success is nothing new to the Huskies, who are playing in a bowl for the fifth consecutive season. Since October 2011 they have the best record in the country at 21-1. They’ve won 12 games in a row, matching Ohio State and Notre Dame for the longest ac-

Andy Reid among 6 NFL coaches sacked in firing frenzy Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — By lunchtime Monday, six NFL coaches were looking for work. With the regular season ending the day before, the firings came at a furious clip and within a twohour span the following were sacked: Andy Reid in Philadelphia, Lovie Smith in Chicago, Norv Turner in San Diego, Pat Romeo Crennel in KanShurmur in Cleveland, sas City and Chan Gailey

in Buffalo, Though he also had a losing record, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan held onto his job while general manager Mike Tannenbaum was let go. Jacksonville fired its GM, Gene Smith, and coach Mike Mularkey could go soon, too. The Chargers and Browns made it a clean sweep. San Diego dismissed

GM A.J. Smith along with Turner. Cleveland fired GM Tom Heckert along with Shurmur. Reid was the longest tenured of the coaches, removed after 14 seasons and a Super Bowl appearance in 2005 — a loss to New England. Smith spent nine seasons with the Bears, leading them to the Super Bowl in 2006 — a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Turner went 56-40 with the Chargers, the third team to fire him as head coach. San Diego won the AFC West from 2006-09 — he was 3-3 in the playoffs — but didn’t make the postseason the last three years. Gailey was dumped after three seasons with the Bills; Shurmur after two; and Crennel had one full season with the Chiefs.

Reid took over a 3-13 team in 1999, drafted Donovan McNabb with the No. 2 overall pick and quickly turned the franchise into a title contender. He led them to a run of four straight NFC championship games, a streak that ended with a trip to the NFL title game. But the team hasn’t won a playoff game since 2008 and after last season’s 8-8 finish, owner Jeffrey Lurie said he was looking for improvement this year. Instead, it was even worse. The Eagles finished 4-12. “Andy Reid won the most games of any head coach in Eagles history and he is someone I respect greatly and will remain friends with for many years to come,” Lurie said. “But, it is time for the Eagles to move in a new direction. Andy leaves us with a winning tradition that we can build upon.” Shurmur went 9-23 in his two seasons with the Browns, who will embark on yet another offseason of change — the only constant in more than a decade of futility. Cleveland has lost at least 11 games in each of the past five seasons and made the playoffs just once since returning to the NFL as an expansion team in 1999. “Ultimately our objective is to put together an organization that will be
the best at everything we do,” Browns CEO Joe Banner said. “On the field, our only goal is trying to win championships.” Crennel took over with three games left in the 2011 season after GM Scott Pioli fired Todd Haley. Kansas City will have the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft as a result of having one of the worst seasons in its 53-year history. The only other time the Chiefs finished 2-14 was 2008, the year before Pioli was hired. “I am embarrassed by the poor product we gave our fans this season, and I believe we have no choice but to move the franchise in a different direction,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. Gailey, the former Dallas Cowboys coach, compiled a 16-32 record in his three seasons in Buffalo, never doing better than 6-10. “This will probably be, and I say probably, but I think it will be the first place that’s ever fired me that I’ll pull for,” Gailey said. Smith and the Bears went 10-6 this season and just missed a playoff spot. But Chicago started 7-1 this year and has struggled to put together a productive offense throughout Smith’s tenure. His record was 81-63 with the Bears.

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS There’s a hopeful feeing on this fresh first day of the year under the fiery Leo moon. “The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks: The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends. ‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world.� -- Alfred Tennyson, “Ulysses� ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve cut yourself loose of the idea of normalcy, realizing that this is a ridiculous thing to strive for. For starters, there’s not a single soul who fits the description. Everyone is different in some way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The morning comes on with more power than seems necessary. You’ll appreciate those who have the class to ease into the first few hours of the new year. GEMINI (May 21-June
21). You’re ready to break bad habits by replacing them with better ones. Someone will help you out with this now by being a shining example of either what to do or what not to do. CANCER (June 22July 22). You’ll create a wonderful meal. The company will be more important than the cooking. This is true even if you eat alone. You’ll be excellent company for yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your serious mood seems to have left with the old year. Given options, you’ll take the funniest one. Playfulness is so attractive on you that you won’t want for attention. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Before and after noon will feel like two separate days, the second one being much preferred to the earlier one. Even though the countdown was last night,
this evening will feel like the official start of your new year. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a bit of a wild goose chase going on. Small mix-ups are likely to lead to inaccurate conclusions. The best way to avoid this dynamic is not to assume anything. Wait for proof. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Once you do the work, don’t forget to ship it out. That’s a crucial step that you can’t miss if you’re going to progress and improve. You need the feedback in order to grow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Ideas that no one acts on are not worthless. They can be used to connect people in conversation and thought processes. For now, keep talking without worrying about the usefulness of your conversation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). Be confident and go forward knowing that you matter. You’ll get proof that the world will be different for your influence, and that’s a very good thing to carry with you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Your identity is not tied up in another person’s life. And though you appreciate the many people who have helped make you who you are, you will also enjoy your status as a separate entity. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may put yourself in a competitive position simply because the thing you want to do is in line with what many others want. You may be asked to prove yourself, but you’ll have no trouble doing so.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Jan. 1, the first day of 2013. There are 364 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed and issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that slaves in rebel states shall be “forever free.� On this date: In 1785, The Daily Universal Register — which later became the Times of London — published its first issue. In 1890, the first Tournament of Roses was held in Pasadena, Calif. In 1892, the Ellis Island Immigrant Station
in New York formally opened. In 1913, the U.S. Parcel Post system went into operation. In 1942, 26 countries, including the United States, signed the Declaration of the United Nations, pledging “not to make a separate armistice or peace� with members of the Axis. In 1953, country singer Hank Williams Sr., 29, was discovered dead in the back seat of his car during a stop in Oak Hill, W.Va., while he was being driven to a concert date in Canton, Ohio. In 1959, Fidel Castro and his revolutionaries overthrew Cuban leader

Fulgencio Batista, who fled to the Dominican Republic. In 1962, The Beatles (with Pete Best) auditioned for Decca Records, which opted to sign Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead. In 1983, the current version of the Internet came into being as the Internet protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, became the mandatory standard. In 1984, the breakup of AT&T took place as the telecommunications giant was divested of its 22 Bell System companies under terms of an antitrust agreement. In 1993, Czechoslo-
vakia peacefully split into two new countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect. Ten years ago: More than two dozen surgeons in West Virginia stopped performing elective surgeries to protest the high cost of malpractice insurance. (They returned to work two weeks later when they were convinced the governor and the legislature would address their concerns.) Brazil’s first elected leftist president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, took office.
