Smiles and laughter fi lled the hospital room in the Labor and Delivery unit at Magnolia Re-gional Health Center on Friday.

Surrounded by supplies and gifts donated by area business-es and orgizations, Savannah joked, “he looks like his daddy … thank goodness.”

Ricin letter suspect James Ever-ett Dutschke describes himself as an “incarcerated pauper” and victim of harassment by former suspect Paul Kevin Curtis of Corinth in his answer to the civil suit fi led by Curtis.
Dutschke’s court fi lings, in which he denies mailing the tainted letters, are handwritten because he is fi nancially unable to hire an attorney while he is held in custody awaiting trial in the fed-eral case against him stemming from letters mailed to President Obama, U.S. Sen.

closed on the outside of the home.It is also important to bring all pets and animals
inside during the cold snap. Move other animals or livestock to sheltered areas with non-frozen drink-ing water.
“I’m going to get my livestock some extra bales of hay,” said Patrick Poindexter, Ag and Natural Resourc-es Extension Agent with the MSU Extension Service of-fi ce. “The hay is great for providing livestock with extra warmth and protection during cold weather.”
Poindexter also noted new born or sick animals should defi nitely be bought inside out of the elements.
The National Weather Service in Memphis is pre-dicting the system to hit late Saturday night, with the extreme cold air settling across the Crossroads area Sunday night through Tuesday morning. Light snow fl urries may make an appearance on Sunday. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Little to no snow accumulation is expected.
Dutschke argues that Curtis’ income has, in fact, increased since the events of April.
Dutschke writes that he can only recall being in Curtis’ physical presence on three occasions, and each was cordial. He says he never participated in any online feud. However, he contends that Curtis in March and April “began a cyber bullying cam-paign, daily relentless online attacks both publicly and privately to defendant’s associates.”
As for the tainted missives with the reference to “Missing Pieces” and exposing a wrong, Dutschke denies any involvement in mailing the “K.C. letters.”
“Justin was so excited … he smiled and he never smiles,” stated Savannah, 20, about her husbands fi rst reaction to their new baby. “It was so cute.”
Justin, 23, whose friends call him Alex, fi rst spotted his future bride while working at Roger’s Supermarket in 2008. The two quickly started dat-ing under the watchful eye of Savannah’s preacher daddy. In June 2012, the two love birds were mar-ried. Justin moved to the coast where he worked as a wielder in a ship yard, while Savannah studied hard at becoming a nurse. She recently graduated from Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia. When Justin heard news of his new re-sponsibty, he quit his job and raced home.
“We planned on having kids and planned on Liam, but it was still a surprise,” mused Justin. “I’m just happy he’s healthy and happy.”
The couple and their new baby were showered with hundreds of items once news broke about Liam being the fi rst baby of 2014. From boxes of diapers and baby formula to baby clothes and gift cards to local resturants, the Rickman’s were quite humble about the gifts.
“We are truly thankful and really had no idea it would happen this soon,” said Savannah. “Last time I went to the doctor, she said it would be Feb-ruary before I was ready.”
With Liam’s birth, the Rickman family celebrates the fi fth living generation, “my family is huge and I’m glad we were able to add another boy to it,” chuckled Justin.
“My brother Wally lives on the streets of L.A., he is 40 years old now and has been homeless since he was 18. I buried a sis-ter due to alcoholism and
I have another brother who’s an addict,” Capps revealed.
“For me, it’s personal. It motivates my heart and shapes me as a per-son. The soul falls into an entrapment and gets
so damaged. I don’t want it in my city,” said Capps with conviction.
Each year Crosswind receives roughly 100 ap-plications from those seeking help.
Of those 100 applica-tions, they have been able to host about 20 families a year.
According to Capps, the only people they won’t house are those with ac-tive addictions or hard-core mental health pa-tients since they are not medically equipped to handle such individuals.
Instead, they get them the treatment they need fi rst and then help them
fi nd housing once they have recovered and been released from their facility.
“We never turn anyone away. As soon as a bed becomes available, we fi ll it,” says the executive di-rector.
Crosswind conquers instability by providing, housing, food, and other essentials to those whom fate has dealt a disastrous hand.
They help people “clear up their rear-view mir-rors” by providing them with the tools they need for success.
“We fi nd them jobs, help them get their G.E.D, teach them to manage money
and get right with past bills...whatever they may need,” explained Capps.
The ministry works with many organizations, government programs and non-profi t groups to provide assistance.
S.A.F.E (Shelter and Assistance in Fam-ily Emergencies), H.U.D (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban de-velopment), D.H.S (De-partment of Human Services), A.A. (Alcohol-ics Annonymous), N.A. (Narcotics Annonymous), Timber Hills (Region IV Mental Health Services), rapid rehousing, and food stamps to name a few.
Crosswind hopes to ex-pand their efforts and has applied for two grants, the Continual Care Grant and the Emergency Shel-ter Grant.
On Jan. 27 they will hold an offi cial count in order to view the full ex-tend of the problem so that it may be solved.
A special dinner is also planned for later in order to get the homeless into one room and begin the process of helping them.

fense attorneys for a for-mer BP engineer convict-ed of trying to obstruct a federal investigation of the company’s 2010 Gulf oil spill claimed Thurs-day that jurors engaged in misconduct that warrants a new trial.
Kurt Mix’s attorneys asked U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval Jr. to throw out the jury’s Dec. 18 verdict convicting Mix
of one count of obstruc-tion of justice for deleting text messages to and from a BP supervisor.
Mix’s lawyers said they interviewed jurors after the verdict and learned that one juror told the others during their deliberations about overhearing a con-versation in a courthouse elevator that made that ju-ror feel more comfortable about convicting Mix.
Their court fi ling doesn’t specify the sub-
stance or possible source of the information that “Juror A” allegedly over-heard in the elevator, but it says other jurors urged the person not to reveal any of those details.
“By doing so, Juror A directly injected into the jury room the idea that there existed powerful, additional proof of Mr. Mix’s guilt that had not formally been allowed into evidence but that Juror A had come to ob-
tain,” defense attorneys wrote. “It is diffi cult to imagine a more prejudi-cial scenario.”
Mix’s attorneys also said some jurors, during conversations outside the deliberation room, appar-ently engaged in “horse trading” that would en-sure a split verdict. Ju-rors acquitted Mix of a second count of obstruc-tion of justice for deleting a string of text messages with a BP contractor.
Ex-BP engineer: Juror misconduct tainted verdict
JACKSON — State Sen. David Blount, a Democrat from Jackson, is drawing up a bill for the 2014 Leg-islature to allow online voter registration.
The Legislature con-venes at noon Tuesday.
Blount told The Clari-on-Ledger that he doesn’t believe there will be wide-spread opposition be-cause mail-in voter reg-istration is allowed now.
Also, he said the new law requiring people to show a photo ID to vote should allay any concerns over online registration.
Voter ID will begin with the June 3 congressio-nal primaries in Missis-sippi. People who don’t have acceptable photo identifi cation after Jan. 1 can go to circuit clerk of-fi ces throughout the state to have a free photo ID made.
Although there is no statewide online voting registration, some coun-ties, including Harri-son, provide registration forms online. But the reg-istration cannot be com-pleted online.
As of August 2013, at least 13 states offered online registration and another six states had passed legislation to cre-ate online voter registra-tion systems, according
the Washington D.C.-based National Confer-ence of State Legislatures.
Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Joe Nosef said he doesn’t know the details of Blount’s pro-posal, “so I can’t com-ment other than saying I believe our main concern would be online security.”
State Democratic Party Chairman Rickey Cole said the party supports Blount’s bill.

Today in
history
Today is Saturday, Jan. 4, the fourth day of 2014. There are 361 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight:
On Jan. 4, 1964, Pope Paul VI began a visit to the Holy Land, the first pa-pal pilgrimage of its kind.
On this date:
In 1821, the first na-tive-born American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, died in Emmitsburg, Md.
In 1904, the Supreme Court, in Gonzalez v. Wil-liams, ruled that Puerto Ricans were not aliens and could enter the Unit-ed States freely; how-ever, the court stopped short of declaring them U.S. citizens. (Puerto Ricans received U.S. citi-zenship in 1917.)
In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address, called for leg-islation to provide as-sistance for the jobless, elderly, impoverished children and the handi-capped.
In 1943, Soviet dicta-tor Josef Stalin appeared on the cover of Time as the magazine’s 1942 “Man of the Year.”
In 1944, Ralph Bunche became the first African-American officer at the State Department as he was appointed to a post in the Near East and Afri-can Section.
In 1951, during the Ko-rean War, North Korean and Communist Chinese forces recaptured the city of Seoul (sohl).
In 1960, author and philosopher Albert Camus died in an automobile accident in Villeblevin, France, at age 46.
In 1965, President Lyn-don B. Johnson delivered his State of the Union address in which he outlined the goals of his “Great Society.”
In 1974, President Richard Nixon refused to hand over tape record-ings and documents sub-poenaed by the Senate Watergate Committee.
In 1989, in an incident reminiscent of a 1981 confrontation, two U.S. Navy F-14 fighters shot down a pair of Libyan MiG-23 fighters in a clash over international waters off the Libyan coast.
In 2007, Nancy Pelosi was elected the first female speaker of the House as Democrats took control of Congress.
Ten years ago:
In Iowa, seven of the nine Democratic presi-dential hopefuls partici-pated in a feisty, first de-bate of the election year. Afghans approved a new constitution. Georgians overwhelmingly elected Mikhail Saakashvili president, two months after he’d led protests that forced Eduard She-vardnadze to step down. Louisiana State Universi-ty won college football’s Sugar Bowl, defeating Oklahoma 21-14.
Five years ago:
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson announced he was withdrawing his nomi-nation to be President-elect Barack Obama’s commerce secretary amid a grand jury investiga-tion into how some of his political donors had won a lucrative state con-tract. (Prosecutors later declined to bring charges against Richardson.)
TUPELO — Memphis-based International Pa-per Co.’s plan to shut its Courtland, Ala., paper mill next year may im-pact landowners and businesses across North-east Mississippi.
Logging jobs may be lost or moved, and timber owners in some counties may fi nd it diffi cult to market pulpwood at all.
Plans for the closure were announced on Sept. 11, and the process was expected to be complet-ed sometime in the fi rst three months of 2014. Two of the mill’s four processors were shut down in November.
“The business group is still determining a sched-ule for fi nal shutdown,” said IP spokeswoman Laura Gibson.
Among the consider-ations will be fulfi lling existing customer orders.
The Courtland plant produces mostly uncoat-ed papers used in busi-ness forms, envelopes, labels, copiers, printers along with coated maga-
zine papers.“This decision to per-
manently close capacity is primarily being driven by demand decline for un-coated free-sheet paper products in the United States,” said IP Chairman and CEO John Faraci.
That segment of the paper market began de-clining in 1999 as online publications and elec-tronic billing and fi ling replace many paper pur-poses.
James Henderson, as-sociate extension profes-sor at Mississippi State University specializing in forestry management, said the impact on pulp-wood markets in this area will be substantial.
“I’ve heard that pulp-wood prices are already down because of it,” he said.
Pulpwood is most of-ten small-diameter poles harvested when pine plantations are thinned so the remaining trees can grow faster. Lesser quantities roughly one-sixth of Mississippi’s production come from
small hardwood trees and tops. Pulpwood and residues from sawmilling and other timber pro-cesses serve as the fi ber basis of most paper.
The Courtland IP plant, with an annual production capacity of 950,000 tons, has his-torically competed to buy Northeast Mississippi pulpwood with the Pack-aging Corporation of America plant in Counce, Tenn., which produced 1.056 million tons in 2012.
“Given the capacity of the IP mill, demand in part of north Missis-sippi will be cut by at least half,” Henderson said. “Also, the PCA mill in west Tennessee will tighten its procurement radius, as it no longer has to compete with IP for wood fi ber in northeast Alabama.”
T.R. Watson Jr., a registered forester with Oxford-based Shiloh Creek Land, Timber and Wildlife Services said his company, which spe-cializes in pine planta-
tion thinnings, hauls its pulpwood to Counce. He hopes Lafayette County timber owners will still be within PCA’s buy-ing radius, even though their buying has already slowed.
“They’re getting more wood from north Ala-bama, and it’s stopping the mill up,” he said. “I think Lafayette County is going to be about as far west as you’re going to be able to go and still buy wood; I don’t know if that 150- or 160-mile drive is still going to be available. It may make us move farther north with our operations. There will be people going out of business over this.”
David Jones, an MSU associate extension pro-fessor whose specialty is forest products, said the Weyerhaeuser pulp mill at Columbus and the Resolute newsprint mill at Grenada, along with Norbord’s orient-ed strand board plant at Guntown are much smaller facilities and can take up only a small part
of the surplus from the Courtland closing.
“Pulp paper mills are a huge industry within an area,” he said. “They’re regionally located be-cause you can’t support multiple paper mills if they’re too close togeth-er, because they draw so much material in to do what they do.”
Registered Forester Jaysen Hogue is owner of New Albany-based Mer-cyTree Forestry Services, which recently added small-scale logging to its offering of consulting services.
Hogue said the loss of a pulpwood market would be a fi nancial setback for timber owners but that an even bigger fi nancial risk is neglecting to thin trees in a timely manner.
“That hurts your pro-duction of sawtimber in the future,” he said. “If you can’t sell the thin-nings, about all you can do is to cut them and let them rot away so your remaining trees can grow on up to sawtimber-qual-ity and size.”
Mill closure could impact stateThe Associated Press
JACKSON — Missis-sippi lawmakers ap-pear unlikely to do an about-face and vote to expand Medicaid this year.
Leaders of the Re-publican-controlled House and Senate say they still oppose expan-sion of the program, even with the federal government paying most of the cost in the fi rst few years. They’re backed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, who fears Mississippi could be stuck with a huge health care bill if the federal government backtracks on funding.
Many Democrats, as well as advocates for the working poor, say ex-panding Medicaid could bring billions of federal dollars to one of the poorest states in the na-tion, making health care more readily available and supporting jobs in hospitals and clinics.
Medicaid expansion is an option under the federal health over-haul President Barack Obama signed into law in 2010. Mississippi is among about two dozen states, led by Republican governors, that have rejected the expansion so far. Law-makers here argued about it throughout the 2013 session, but noth-ing happened.
“It appears Obam-acare is a debacle. I cannot believe any-body would continue to advance it,” House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, said in an interview about the
2014 session.Sen. David Blount, D-
Jackson, said Mississip-pi has “an opportunity to do something smart” by expanding Medicaid. He said for a relatively small investment of state money, Mississip-pi could bring in billions of federal dollars to cre-ate jobs and improve health care.
“In the 2014 legisla-tive session, I hope we can set aside the par-tisan politics, look at the dollars and cents,” Blount said.
In October, the non-partisan Kaiser Fam-ily Foundation released a study that shows 137,800 low-income Mississippians fall into a health insurance coverage gap and are uninsured. They earn too much to enroll in Medicaid but too little to qualify for govern-ment subsidies that would reduce their cost of buying private health insurance. The number represents 37 percent of uninsured Missis-sippi adults who are younger than 65. Mis-sissippi has the highest percentage of residents in the coverage gap.
A family of three can earn no more than about $5,600 to qualify for Medicaid in Missis-sippi. So, the coverage gap for a family of three would be for those earning more than $5,600 but less than $19,530, which is 100 percent of the federal poverty level for that size family.
Under the health overhaul law, federal subsidies are available for people to purchase
health insurance from private companies on government-run ex-changes, or online mar-ketplaces. The subsidies are for people who earn between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level — $19,530 to $78,120 for a family of three.
The health overhaul law originally would have made states expand Medicaid to people earn-ing up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld most of the law in 2012 but ruled that Medicaid expansion is optional. Medicaid is a federal-state health insurance program for needy, aged, blind and disabled people and for low-income families with children.
Kim Robinson, a program associate for the Children’s Defense Fund in Jackson, is a “navigator” who is trained to help people shop for private health insurance on an ex-change, or online mar-ketplace, run by the federal government. She said many of the people she has helped, so far, fall into the “cov-erage gap.”
Mississippi Health Advocacy Program, which supports wider availability of medi-cal coverage, released a study in December that showed Medicaid expansion would gen-erate more than $14 billion in new econom-ic activity in the state, create about 20,000 new jobs and provide a net increase of $848 million in state and lo-cal tax collections.
TUPELO — For the sec-ond time in three years, a company is promising to build a silicon metal pro-duction facility and add hundreds of jobs.
Only this time, offi cials say it will be in Burnsville.
In 2011, the company, Mississippi Silicon, eyed Lowndes County for a similar project.
On Tuesday, Gov. Phil Bryant said Mississippi Silicon would invest $200 million in a “high-tech facility” in Burnsville in Tishomingo County that would be “one of the most effi cient and cost-com-petitive silicon metal pro-duction facilities in the world.”
The plant, which will take 18-20 months to build, according to com-pany offi cials, will employ 200.
In 2011, Silicor Materi-als promised to deliver similar results. But the project, which had mus-tered up to $75 million in state incentives, never came to fruition.
Silicor, which named its Mississippi opera-tions Mississippi Silicon, missed a Dec. 31, 2012 deadline to put $150,000
in an escrow account for the plant in Lowndes County, which was will-ing to put up another $19 million in long-term property tax abatements. But the company had several deadlines pushed back and never made the deposit.
In January 2013, Silicor said it still was committed to building in Mississippi — only not in Lowndes County. It didn’t address why the project didn’t pan out there.
However, David Tuten, the president and CEO of Mississippi Silicon, said Tuesday that Burnsville was the ideal location for the resurrected project.
Financing was not an issue, Tuten said. Because the Lowndes County proj-ect fell through, MDA didn’t release the $75 mil-lion it had made available.
This time, the state fi -nancial incentives are less.
According to the MDA, for the Burnsville project, the state is providing a total of $21.15 million for building construction and workforce training, as well as a $3.5 million loan to Tishomingo County for infrastructure needs.

Earlier this year, one of the mainstream media networks was planning to do a spe-cial on my retirement from neurosurgery. They recorded a lecture I gave at my medical school, as well as one given at a high school in Detroit. They also accompanied me to my old stomping grounds, where many of the neigh-bors came out to greet me and talk about old times.
I was struck by some of their comments, including the notion that I always had lofty, unrealistic dreams, but that they would en-joy hearing about them anyway. Someone else told me that people would always mur-mur among themselves when I approached, “Here comes Mr. Know-It-All. Let’s get out of here.” While the network decided not to air the special for some reason unknown to me, it was still a valuable opportunity for me to catch up with old acquaintances.
Similarly, some years ago, I attended the 25th reunion of my high school graduating class. The thing that struck me the most was that many of the “really cool” guys were dead. Many of my other classmates told me how proud they were of my accomplishments and asked me if I remembered how they used to encourage me. Of course I did not -- no such encouragement took place -- but people’s memories tend to change over time.
Many of my fellow members of the Hora-tio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans have recounted similar stories of being re-garded as different and not always being part of the “in” crowd when they were growing up. The Horatio Alger Society inducts 10 to 12 new members each year. These are people who grew up under very diffi cult circum-stances and went on to achieve at the high-est levels of their respective endeavors. Many of their names would be quite familiar to the public. Are their stories aberrant, or are we truly the captains of our own destiny?
In the game of chess, pawns are just used for the purposes of the royal pieces. In real life, many in power selfi shly use “pawns” -- average citizens -- while at the same time vociferously proclaiming that they are the only ones looking out for the interests of the pawns, who happily follow their commands, thinking that this “royal” contingent has their interests in mind. However, in a chess game, a pawn can become any one of the royal piec-es, if it can make it to the other side of the board.
Although no analogy is perfect, it is pretty easy to see the point here. By keeping large groups of Americans complacent and afraid of challenging authority, the position, wealth and status of those in power is secure. The last thing they want is for independent-thinking citizens to realize that this country was designed for them and not for an arro-gant ruling class. By using strong-arm tactics and a sheepishly compliant news media, the supposed guardians of truth, they have be-come very successful at pawn control.
I can’t remember how many times during my medical career I was told, “You can’t do that; no one has done that before” or “Do you think all the incredibly bright people who have preceded you didn’t think of that?” Cer-tainly, if I had listened to those comments in-stead of critically analyzing the problems and using the triumphs and mistakes of others to produce innovative solutions, my career path would have been considerably different. We have these magnifi cent brains with outstand-ing reasoning ability in order to be creative and to critically analyze what we hear and see. We must stop acting like pawns and start acting like masters of our own destiny.
We can play the role of nice little pawn or we can be smart, courageous and move out of our comfort zone to accomplish something truly great for our future. It might be a lonely journey at fi rst, but eventually others will see the light. We will shed the pawn mentality and be promoted to the position of proud and independent citizens of America.

Independence,common sensebring rewards
Prayer for today
A verse to share
In his State of the Union address on Jan. 8, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson declared a “war on pov-erty.” Today, with roughly the same number of people below the poverty level as in 1964 and with many ad-dicted to government “bene-fi ts,” robbing them of a work ethic, it is clear that the poor have mostly lost the war.
In 1964, the poverty rate was about 19 percent. Cen-sus data from 2010 indi-cates that 15.1 percent are in poverty within a much larger population.
The lack of government programs did not cause poverty, and spending vast sums of money has not eliminated it.
A policy analysis by the Cato Institute found that federal and state anti-pov-erty programs have cost $15 trillion over the last fi ve decades but have had little effect on the number of people living in poverty. That amounts to $20,610 per poor person in America, or $61,830 per poor family of three. If the government had sent them a check they might have been better off.
As Robert Rector and Jen-nifer Marshall have written for The Heritage Founda-tion, “President Johnson’s goal was not to create a
massive sys-tem of ever-increasing welfare ben-efi ts for an ever-larger number of b e n e f i c i a -ries. In-stead, he sought to in-crease self-
suffi ciency, enabling recipi-ents to lift themselves up beyond the need for public assistance.”
Johnson sounded conser-vative when he said, “(We) want to offer the forgotten fi fth of our people opportu-nity and not doles.”
Unfortunately, the war on poverty neglected a key component: human nature. Substantial numbers of people came to rely on gov-ernment benefi ts and thus lost any sense of personal responsibility. Teenage girls knew they could get a check from the government if they had babies and so they had them, often more than one. The law discouraged fathers from living with, much less marrying, the mothers of their children and so le-gions of “single mothers” became the norm, and the lack of male leadership in the home contributed to ad-ditional cycles of poverty,
addicting new generations to government.
When President Clin-ton signed the welfare re-form bill in 1996, liberals screamed that people would starve in the streets. They didn’t. Many got jobs when they knew the checks would cease.
Over time, government enacted rules to prevent churches and faith-based groups from sharing their faith if they wanted to re-ceive federal grants, thus removing the reason for their success. These groups, which once were at the cen-ter of fi ghting poverty by offering a transformed life and consequently a change in attitude, retreated to the sidelines.
In public schools, val-ues that once were taught were removed because of lawsuits and the fear of lawsuits, creating a “naked public square” devoid of concepts such as right and wrong, with everyone left to fi gure it out on their own.
There are two ways to measure poverty. One is the way the Census Bureau does, by counting income earned by individuals and families without including government benefi ts. The other is not measurable in a statistical sense. It is a pov-
erty of spirit. People need to be inspired and told they don’t have to settle for what-ever circumstances they are in. This used to be the role of faith-based institutions, and it can be again if they re-fuse government grants and again reach out to the poor.
One condition for main-taining tax-exempt status should be for these faith-based institutions to help people get off government assistance and fi nd jobs, becoming self-suffi cient. If people need transition-al money for daycare or transportation, it can be provided, either temporar-ily by government or by the thousands of churches, synagogues and other faith-based groups.
There is no undiscov-ered truth about the cure for most poverty: Stay in school; get married before having children and stay married; work hard, save and invest.
The “war on poverty” can be won, but it must be fought with different weapons, not the ones that have failed for the last half-century.

The war on poverty at 50
With twin suicide bomb-ings in Volgograd, 34 Rus-sians are dead and scores are injured and hospitalized.
Moscow and the world have been put on notice by Doku Umarov, the Chechen Islamic terrorist, that the winter Olympics in Sochi, six weeks away, may not now be safe for visitors.
How should friends of Russia respond?
President Obama, in a gesture of solidarity with the Russian people, who have suffered more than any Eu-ropean people from Islamic terror since 9/11, should an-nounce he has changed his mind and will be going to Sochi.
The impact would be dra-matic. The Western boy-cott of the winter Olympics would collapse. The atten-tion of the world’s TV cam-eras, along with the rest of mankind, would turn to Sochi. Success of the games would be assured.
A message would be sent to the world that no matter where America disagrees with Russia, terrorists do not tell us where we can or cannot go, and we stand in solidarity with the Russian people in our detestation of and determination to com-
bat terror.Vladimir
Putin, who has his pres-tige fully in-vested in the Sochi games, would see this as a m a g n a n i -mous ges-ture, a reach-
ing out of America’s hand, to him and to Russia.
What would be the down-side?
Those who have been call-ing for boycotting the Sochi games to protest Russia’s law prohibiting distribution of pro-homosexual propa-ganda to youth have already had their point made.
In an in-your-face gesture, the U.S. delegation is head-ed by Billie Jean King, tennis legend and lesbian, who will travel to Sochi with gay ath-letes Brian Boitano, the ice skating gold medalist, and Caitlin Cahow, a two-time hockey medalist.
“This is the grandest of snubs, to Putin and to Rus-sia,” exults Chad Griffi n of the Human Rights Cam-paign.
Yet U.S. relations with the world’s largest nation are too serious to allow petty quar-
rels to prevent our working together. Earlier presidents showed the way.
Three years after Nikita Khrushchev’s tanks ran over the Hungarian free-dom fi ghters, Eisenhower invited him to tour the Unit-ed States. Six months after Khrushchev put missiles in Cuba, JFK extended his hand in his American Uni-versity speech.
Months after Leonid Bre-zhnev had sent Warsaw Pact armies to crush the “Prague spring,” President Nixon was sounding him out on arms control and recipro-cal summits. Though the Red Army was brutalizing Afghanistan, President Rea-gan sought to meet with the Soviet leaders and fi nally did at Geneva and Reykjavik.
These Cold War presi-dents recognized that their distaste for Soviet tyranny aside, U.S. vital interests and the peace of the world dictated that they meet with their coequal nuclear power.
Moreover, as measured by freedom of speech, religion, assembly and the press, Chi-na in 2008 was a far more repressive place than is Pu-tin’s Russia. Yet that did not prevent George W. Bush at-tending the summer Olym-
pics in Beijing.And U.S. presidents have
been able to work with Pu-tin.
Putin approved NATO strikes on Libya. He has gone along with U.N. sanc-tions on Iran. He has held off sending Russia’s most advanced air defense sys-tem to Iran. He has assisted the United States in the war in Afghanistan. He pulled Obama’s bacon out of the fi re in Syria when the Amer-ican people and Congress told Obama that he had no authority to bomb Syria.
Moreover, Russia is a part of our civilization. Before World War I, Russia was an ally of France and Britain against Germany.
And when it comes to the war on terror, we are in it to-gether. If Russia’s end of the boat sinks, how long do we think ours will stay afl oat?
Obama going to Sochi would turn a page, start a new chapter.
Perhaps it would not be reciprocated. But what does Obama have to lose with such a brave and bold beau geste?
Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”

Fire destroys Salvation Army store
JACKSON — An early morning fire has de-stroyed the Salvation Ar-my’s thrift store in north Jackson.
Capt. Ken Chapman, who leads the Salvation Army’s Jackson opera-tions, says Friday’s fire destroyed the store but did no damage to the homeless shelter next door.
Chapman says the store was at near capac-ity, because of holiday donations. He estimated the damage at $1.5 mil-lion. He says the building is insured.
No one was injured, in-cluding the one employ-ee on duty when flames broke out before 6 a.m.
Jackson Fire Dept. Chief Greg Travis says 12 units responded to the fire to find the build-ing consumed in smoke and flames.
He says firefighters protected the nearby buildings to keep the flames from spreading.
Arrest made in Newton County death
NEWTON — Newton County Sheriff Jackie Knight says a 30-year-old man has been charged with murder in a New Year’s Day fatal shoot-ing.
Knight tells WTOK-TV in Meridian that Robert Payne is being held without bond pending an initial court appear-ance.
Knight says 27-year-old Tyrone Walters was shot in the early morning hours Wednesday and later died at a local hos-
pital.Knight says his investi-
gators are trying to piece together exactly what led to this shooting, but he says it came after an argument.
The sheriff says it is unclear exactly how many people were around when the shoot-ing took place.
Elderly woman hurt at home
SOUTHAVEN — South-aven police are inves-tigating an apparent attack on an 86-year-old woman.
Lt. Mark Little tells The Commercial Appeal that friends found Georgie McKee on Monday at her home. Little says the woman suffered bruises to the face and body. Her car also was missing from her home.
Little says the woman cannot remember any-thing at this point. He says there was no forced entry and nothing taken from her home that po-lice can tell.
Inmates returned to Walnut Grove prison
WALNUT GROVE — Fourteen of 18 inmates injured during a fight Tuesday have returned to the Walnut Grove Correc-tional Facility.
Issa Arnita, corporate communications direc-tor for Management and Training Corporation, says an investigation by the company and the Mississippi Department of Corrections continues.
Four people remain hospitalized at the Uni-versity of Mississippi Medical Center in Jack-son.
Arnita says the alterca-tion took place in one of the facility’s six housing units.
He says a correctional officer was treated for minor injuries. No other officers were injured. Staff responded imme-diately and secured the units soon after the inci-dent began around 7:00 p.m. Tuesday.
The facility remains on lock down.

Government to appeal NSA ruling
WASHINGTON — Gov-ernment lawyers are ask-ing the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washing-ton to overturn a federal judge’s ruling that threat-ens the National Security Agency’s practice of col-lecting every Americans’ telephone records every day.
The Justice Depart-ment filed its notice of appeal Friday. Mean-while, Larry Klayman, the opposing lawyer who spearheaded the case against the NSA said he will ask the ap-peals court to refer the case directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled last month that the NSA phone records program was likely unconstitu-tional, so the govern-ment’s appeal was expected. In a separate case, a district judge in New York last month up-held the NSA program as lawful. The ACLU, which lost that case, said this week it will ap-peal that case.
Obama pushes birth control mandate
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Friday called on a Supreme Court justice to stop blocking the new health care law’s requirement that some religion-affiliated orga-nizations provide health insurance that includes birth control.
The Justice Depart-ment called on Justice Sonia Sotomayor to dissolve her last-minute
stay on the contracep-tive coverage require-ment of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Sotomayor issued the stay on New Year’s Eve, only hours before the law’s cover-age went into effect.
Under the health care law, most health insurance plans have to cover all FDA-approved contraceptives as pre-ventive care for women, free of cost to the patient. Churches and other houses of worship are exempt from the birth control require-ment, but affiliated in-stitutions that serve the general public are not. That includes charitable organizations, universi-ties and hospitals.
In response to an outcry, the government came up with a com-promise that requires insurers or health plan administrators to provide birth control coverage, but allows the religious group to distance itself from that action. The exemption is triggered when the religious group signs a form for the insurer say-ing that it objects to the coverage.
The insurer can then go forward with the cov-erage.
A group of Denver nuns who run nursing homes for the poor, called the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged, say signing that form makes them complicit in providing contraceptive coverage, and therefore violates their religious beliefs. “Unfortunately, the federal government has started the new year the same way that it
ended the old one: try-ing to bully nuns into violating their religious beliefs,” said their law-yer, Mark Rienzi, who is also senior counsel for the Becket Fund for Re-ligious Liberty.
But Solicitor General Donald Verrilli said in court papers that noth-ing in the law will make those nuns pay for birth control for their employees. The nuns’ insurance is provided through a church plan that is not required to provide contracep-tive coverage and has said it will not, he said, making their complaint baseless.
Mental hospital escapee captured
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A South Carolina mental hospital patient com-mitted after authori-ties said he killed his mother and stepfather has been captured in Tennessee.
The Department of Mental Health, which would not name the man because of privacy laws, said the patient was captured Friday morning at a hotel off Interstate 40 west of Nashville, Tenn. Howev-er, the Oconee County Sheriff’s office said in a news release that the patient was 39-year-old Jason Carter.
Authorities say Carter killed his mother and stepfather in 2006 and wrapped their bodies in plastic. He was found not guilty by reason of insan-ity and then hospitalized.
Department of Men-tal Health officials say they don’t believe Carter committed other crimes.

Ronnie Lee JourdanRonnie Lee Jourdan, 66, of Chickasaw, Ala., died Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2014, in
Baldwyn. He was born Feb. 28, 1947, in Pensacola, Fla., to Parmer Lee and Chris-tine Burcham Jourdan.
He attended Pensacola High School where he excelled as a high jumper on the track and field team, which led to a full scholarship to the University of Florida in Gainesville. He was nicknamed “Spider Jourdan” for his long arms and legs. At the university, Ronnie became known as the “Magic of the seven foot high Jump-er”. Only magic could have taken him to the heights of the Southeastern Confer-ence championship and the NCAA championship. His senior year also included an incredible nine-meet streak of winning jumps at 7.0 or higher. That year also took him to Oslo, Norway, where he cleared 7.1 to win the World International Championship. He held the record for the most consistent seven foot or better high jumper in the world.
Ronnie went with the United States Olympic team to Munich, Germany, in 1972. After that, his highest jump was 7.4.

Nation BriefsWinter storm kills at least 11
BOSTON — A storm dropped a blanket of light, powdery snow across the Northeast and ushered in frigid temperatures Friday that were unusual even for cities accustomed to arctic blasts. The winter weather, which shut down major highways temporarily and ground-ed flights, was blamed for at least 11 deaths as it swept across the eastern half of the coun-try.
The nor’easter was accompanied by plum-meting temperatures that on Friday morning reached 8 degrees be-low zero in Burlington, Vt., with a wind chill of 29 below, and 2 de-grees in Boston, with a wind chill of minus 20. It dumped 23 inches of snow in Boxford, Mass., and 18 inches in parts of western New York near Rochester. Thirteen inches of snow fell in Boston, while Lakewood, N.J., got 10 inches and New York City’s Central Park got 6.
Wellington Ferreira said the cold was worse than the snow as he cleared a sidewalk in front of Johnny D’s Up-town Restaurant and Music Club in Somer-ville, Mass.
“My ears are frozen,” he said. “I’ve been here for a couple a years, so I’m all right, but I hate it. I’m never going to get used to it.”
Schools and offices were closed across the region, and police
were busy responding to accidents and reports of stranded vehicles. Governors in New York and New Jersey declared states of emergency Thursday, urging resi-dents to stay home. But few power outages were reported Friday and wind gusts actually made the snow easy to manage.
U.S. airlines canceled more than 2,300 flights Thursday because of the snowfall and low vis-ibility. By midday Friday, about 2,200 flights were canceled nationwide, ac-cording to the aviation tracking website FlightA-ware.com. The bulk of those were in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
Idaho to take over private state prison
BOISE, Idaho — Ida-ho’s governor says the corrections department will take over operation of the largest privately-run prison in the state after more than a de-cade of mismanagement and other problems at the facility. Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corporation of America has contracted with the state to run the prison since it was built in 1997. Taxpayers current-ly pay CCA $29 million per year to operate the 2080-bed prison south of Boise.
Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter made the announcement Friday at a preview of the upcoming legislative ses-sion.
For years, Otter has
been a champion of privatizing certain sec-tors of government, in-cluding prisons.
In 2008, he floated legislation to change state laws to allow pri-vate companies to build and operate prisons in Idaho and import out-of-state inmates. In 2008, he suggested privatizing the 500-bed state-run Idaho Correctional Insti-tution-Orofino.
The CCA prison has been the subject of multiple lawsuits alleg-ing rampant violence, understaffing, gang activ-ity and contract fraud by CCA.
CCA acknowledged last year that falsified staff-ing reports were given to the state showing thousands of hours were staffed by CCA workers when the positions were actually vacant. And the Idaho State Police is in-vestigating the operation of the facility for possible criminal activity.
A federal judge also has held CCA in con-tempt of court for failing to abide by the terms of a settlement agreement reached with inmates in a lawsuit claiming high rates of violence and chronic understaffing at the prison.
Meanwhile, Idaho pris-on officials, led by IDOC Director Brent Reinke, have lobbied to allow the agency to put together its own proposal and cost analysis for running the prison. Each time, however, Reinke and his staff have been rebuffed by the state Board of Correction.
State BriefsMan pleads guilty in federal drug case
OXFORD — A 34-year-old West Point man has pleaded guilty to a fed-eral charge of selling a controlled substance.
WTVA TV reports Jamel Banks entered the guilty plea during a Thursday morning hearing in U. S. District Court in Oxford.
A federal grand jury originally indicted him on 10-counts of sale of a controlled substance.
Banks pleaded guilty to one count of know-ingly distributing a substance containing a cocaine base.
He will be sentenced at a later date.
2 Clarksdale teens arrested in homicide
CLARKSDALE — Clarksdale police have arrested two teens in connection with a shoot-ing death that occurred on Dec. 26.
The Commercial Appeal reports the 15-year-old and 17-year-old have both been charged with capital murder in the death of Davis Goon.
The 61-year-old Goon, was gunned down out-side his family’s grocery and liquor store.
The teens were ar-rested Wednesday and are being held at the Coahoma County Jail on $250,000 bonds each.
Police say they were still searching for a third suspect.
Coroner identifies Lincoln County girl
BROOKHAVEN — The Lincoln County coroner has released the name of a 6-year-old girl who died after accidentally being shot with a pellet gun on New Year’s Day.
Coroner Clay McMorris tells The Clarion-Ledger Karlianna Brumfield died at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb just before 11 a.m.
Sheriff Steve Rush-ing said Brumfield was standing in the door-way of her 13-year-old brother’s room when the pellet gun he was playing with discharged, striking her in the chest.
Rushing said, based on the information gath-ered in the investigation, he doesn’t expect to bring any charges.
Police arrest Gulfport pot grower
GULFPORT — Gulfport police say they discov-ered a 56-year-old Gulf-port resident was grow-ing marijuana at home after he left his door open.
Sgt. Damon McDaniel tells The Sun Herald Steven Ray Schreider was arrested Dec. 27 on charges of cultivating marijuana and posses-sion of marijuana after the narcotics division used a search warrant to seize an undisclosed amount of pot from his home.
The investigation was initiated after the depart-
ment received a com-plaint of a suspicious open door at Schreider’s residence. Schreider was not home when officers arrived, but McDaniel said they observed marijuana inside and ob-tained a search warrant.
VWSD against later start in school year
VICKSBURG — Missis-sippi schools will start the 2014-15 school term later this year.
Members of the Vicksburg-Warren County School Board tell The Vicksburg Post that they don’t like the later start.
A new law — passed in 2012 — provides school districts can start no ear-lier than the third Mon-day in August beginning with the 2014-15 school term. For the upcoming school year, that means school starts Aug. 18, considerably later than the Aug. 7 start date in 2013.
The board had consid-ered moving the current school year’s beginning date back in anticipation of the change but strong opposition from teachers prompted board mem-bers to drop it.
“We tried to go with it for this year, but the teachers didn’t want to do it and we’re teacher-friendly,” said school board president Jim Stir-gus Jr.
There also were concerns that teach-ers wouldn’t get a full month’s pay in August because of the later start.
Employers have added an average of 200,000 jobs a month in the past four months, a big improvement from the summer.
Those gains have helped cut the national unemployment rate in November to 7 percent, a five-year low. Economists anticipate that data out on Friday will show the nation’s jobless rate held steady in December.
Shrinking deficit
A rise in petroleum exports is helping to narrow the U.S. trade gap.
The trade deficit fell in October to $40.6 billion, with the nation’s energy boom helping to lift overall exports to an all-time high of $192.7 billion. Economists expect the Commerce Department will report Tuesday that the trade gap shrank again in Novem-ber. A smaller trade deficit can boost economic growth.
Eye on consumers
The Federal Reserve issues a report Wednesday on how much credit U.S. consumers took on in November.
Consumers boosted their borrowing in October by $18.2 billion to a seasonally adjusted $3.08 trillion. The increase was driven by growth in auto and student loans, as well as the biggest rise in credit card debt in five months. Source: FactSet

Fed watchJan. 24-25 Next meeting of Fed policymakers
The stock market was invulnerable in 2013. A federal government shutdown, the threat of military action in
Syria, big budget cuts, and a European country looking for a bailout – any of those might have derailed the stock market in the past. Not last year.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index advanced 29.6 percent, its best performance since 1997.
Instead of worrying about the wider world, investors focused on the Federal Reserve and the outlook for its stimulus program. The Fed bought $85 billion of government bonds each month in 2013, and only decided to trim that amount by $10 billion starting in January 2014 after the economy showed sufficient signs of strength.
Rising corporate earnings also lifted stocks and S&P 500 company profits climbed for a fourth straight year, according to S&P Capital IQ.
Few market strategists are expecting a repeat performance for the stock market in 2014, but few foresee a disaster either. Rather, a tame year will follow a great year as profit growth slows.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian
Daily Corinthian • Saturday, January 4, 2014 • 9
ARIES (March 21-April 19). An old song suggests that there’s no business like show business, and in a strange way, you’ll feel like that’s exactly the business you’re in. You’ll dazzle your au-dience, distracting them from behind-the-scenes mechanics.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Recently, boredom has led to overeating. Now the opposite will happen. You’ll concentrate on the efforts that nourish your soul and fi nd that you’re not hun-gry enough to remember to eat.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can’t bear to see anyone suffer, and you’ll go to great lengths to avoid suffering altogether -- ex-cept in media. There’s some-thing addictive about seeing the fi ctional characters you love move in and out of peril.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes the very worst van-tage point for predicting where a creature will go next is the view from inside the creature. You may think you know yourself, but
you are too close to the subject to detect larger patterns.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Can you really do a job well if part of your mind is occupied with trying to come up with an exit strategy? You’ll be successful when you commit fully and completely, if only for a few hours at a time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are gentle with the very young and the very old, and you don’t stop there. Mostly people are more fragile than they seem, and unguarded words are as danger-ous as knives unsheathed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have friends who don’t listen well. Try to appreciate these folks for their other talents and strengths. They can complement your life in interesting ways when you stop expecting them to hear you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Have you ever answered every question on an Internet quiz only to get an “internal server error” as an end result? Out-dated systems will deny you your
due. Stick to what’s known and proven.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Helping someone you love day in and day out may look to others like extreme self-sacri-fi ce. But you truly get something from the experience. You learn and become a stronger person.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may have to share the credit for a success that is yours, all yours. By greasing the wheels, you show good will and make it more likely that others will help you in the future.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll do more than you’re paid to do, more than is expected of you and probably more than you want to do. Once you get in a cycle of giving, it’s hard for you to stop.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be drawn to unpredict-able people, and you’ll enjoy guessing what they’ll do next, only to get it wrong. As long as everyone is having fun, inconsis-tencies are exciting.
DEAR ABBY: I met a guy I think is perfect for me on a dating web-site. We have gone on several dates and they have been great. He respects my morals and even has some of his own, which isn’t easy to fi nd.
The problem: He says I am ex-actly what he has been looking for except for one thing. I look like his mother. He says he really likes me and would like to keep dating to see if he can get past this issue. I like him very much. Is there something I can do, short of plastic surgery? -- DEAD
RINGER IN ARIZONA
DEAR DEAD RINGER: Before changing anything, you need to explore more closely what he’s saying. Ask to meet his mother, then judge for yourself how strong the resemblance is. It’s possible the similarity is less physical and more about your personality or mannerisms.
You should not alter your im-age to please anyone but your-self. Keep in mind that many men DO marry women who re-semble their mothers in some way -- whether it’s conscious or not -- and the marriages are of-ten successful.
DEAR ABBY: My parents di-vorced many years ago, and ever since, I have lived with my mother and visit Dad on his days off from work. Mom cheated on Dad, and the man she cheated with lives with us.
I don’t have a good relation-
ship with her b o y f r i e n d . We don’t have much in common, and when he drinks, he gets angry for no reason and takes it out on me or Mom, and it puts the whole
household in an awkward posi-tion, sometimes lasting for days. When he’s sober, he can be fun to be around.
I have talked with my mom about this. She promises she’ll talk to him and things are going to change, but they never do. She doesn’t want to break up with him because she can’t afford to pay the mortgage on her own. I have thought about moving in with my dad, but I don’t want to upset her. What do I do? -- WANTS TO
MOVE IN WITH DAD
DEAR WANTS: Your mother hasn’t asserted herself with her boyfriend because she’s fi nan-cially dependent on him. She’s afraid if she insists he do some-thing about his drinking, he will leave her.
The affair and the boyfriend were her choice, not yours. If you want to move in with your father to avoid being around a verbally abusive drunk -- and your father is willing -- that’s what you should
do. You should not have to toler-ate abuse in order not to “upset” your mother. It’s OK to take care of yourself.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 32-year-old woman. My boyfriend of 11 years passed away almost three years ago. I loved him very much and miss him every day. Some well-meaning friends and family members have suggested a dat-ing site.
Abby, when does someone know if it’s time to move on? I haven’t been on a date in 13 years. I’m scared of putting my-self out there again and getting hurt. Any advice would be great. -- SCARED IN OREGON
DEAR SCARED: If the only reason you haven’t reached out before is fear of rejection, then it’s time to move on. Ask your friends and family to help you write a profi le, and then consider what happens next as an “ad-venture.”
While there are no guaran-tees you’ll immediately fi nd a relationship like the one you had, you might fi nd someone who is compatible. And if you don’t, you could still make some friends. Nothing ventured, noth-ing gained.

HOUSTON — Bill O’Brien got a bit antsy as his introductory press confer-ence with the Houston Texans started to drag on and a question was posed about how much he knows about his new team.
“I’ve got a lot of work to do on this team and the sooner that I can get back to my offi ce and start that work, it’ll be better,” he said straight-faced as the rest of the room erupted in laughter.
Less than two years after replacing Joe Paterno as coach at Penn State, the 44-year-old O’Brien has returned to the NFL as coach of the Houston Texans. He was an offensive assistant under Bill Belichick at New England from 2007-12, but the Penn State job was his fi rst as a head coach.
Now he gets the Texans, who spi-raled to an NFL-worst 2-14 record last season.
“He showed that he has the abil-ity to step into diffi cult situations and turn them around,” Houston owner Bob McNair said. “He did that at Penn State under very diffi cult circumstanc-es and did an outstanding job there. We expect to see good things happen immediately.”
O’Brien was 15-9 at Penn State, hit hard by NCAA sanctions levied for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scan-dal that cost the late Paterno his job.
He takes over for Gary Kubiak, who was fi red with three games left in the Texans’ dismal season. Despite Houston’s collapse, many believe it is a plum position because the Texans have many talented pieces in place and could make a quick turnaround. Hous-ton won consecutive AFC South titles before this year’s disaster.
O’Brien said he planned to meet with Houston’s assistant coaches on Friday and begin making decisions on who will make up his staff.
After his fi rst season at Penn State, O’Brien interviewed with the Jackson-ville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns, among others, only to stay in State College. This time the lure of the NFL was too strong to resist.
“I do regret not being able to contin-ue with the great kids on that team,” O’Brien said. “While I tried never to mislead anyone, I understand that some people feel let down. But again, it was a decision that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.”
He said an attractive aspect of this job was Houston’s world-class medical center. O’Brien’s 11-year-old son Jack can’t walk or talk because of a rare neurological disorder that also causes seizures.
Almost exactly two years ago, O’Brien fi dgeted with a water bottle while taking questions from reporters at his introductory news conference at Penn State. He said then that he couldn’t wait to get going, and he feels that way in Houston, too.

BIGGERSVILLE — The Kossuth Lady Aggies and Biggersville Lions continued their winning streaks at the expense of their opposing genders.
Baylee Turner paced 14 Kossuth players with a game-high 15 points as the Lady Ag-gies won their 12th straight game behind an 84-30 romp of Biggersville in the intra-county doubleheader opener.
Kossuth (13-2) hasn’t lost since falling 74-65 at home to Alcorn Central on Nov. 19. KHS, which faces Lafayette County today in the Renasant Classic at New Albany, will travel to Glen on Tuesday in the contest that counts in the
Division 1-3A standings.In the nightcap, Daniel
Simmons paced four Lions in double fi gures with a game-high 22 as BHS earned its seventh straight win since falling to Tupelo on Nov. 29 at the Lighthouse Thanksgiv-ing Classic.
Biggersville, which also got six 3-pointers and 19 points from Slater Huggins, im-proved to 12-2 heading into next Friday’s contest with Alcorn Central in the annual Alcorn County Tournament.
• The Lady Aggies jumped out to a 22-5 lead after one with Turner more than dou-bling the host club with 13 digits -- including a trio of 3-pointers.
Marlee Sue Bradley, one
of six Lady Aggies to score from beyond the arc, paced a 26-point second quarter with eight points as Kossuth took a 48-12 lead at the break.
Bradley and Rachel Win-ters added 13 points each for Kossuth. The Lady Aggies re-corded 15 conventional buck-ets and 12 3-pointers, which bested BHS’ total output 33-30.
KHS also connected on 18-of-22 from the stripe.
Jada Tubbs paced the Lady Lions (2-9) with seven points. BHS tallied 14 points from the fl oor and was 16-of-31 from the charity stripe.
• Balanced scoring among six players saw the Lions jump out to a 20-4 lead after eight minutes. BHS scored
the fi rst 13 points of the game.Darian Barnett, who added
17 points, got loose for four buckets in the second and Huggins drained a pair of ex-tra-point buckets to give BHS a 44-20 cushion at recess.
Rick Hodum drained a trio of three-pointers and Levi Burcham added fi ve quick points as KHS outscored BHS 24-13 in the third to cut the defi cit to 57-44.
Burcham’s fi ve quick points got Kossuth to within a dozen at 52-40 late in the third. Big-gersville responded with fi ve unanswered on an and-one by Barnett and a steal and dunk by Simmons.

Mississippi State’s domi-nant 44-7 victory over Rice in the Liberty Bowl secured the Bulldogs’ fourth straight win-ning season.
The way Dak Prescott keeps improving, there might be a few more in the near future.
Prescott was impressive in the Bulldogs’ fi nale, complet-ing 17 of 28 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns while also running for 78 yards and two touchdowns. Mississippi State (7-6) ended the season on a three-game winning streak.
It was a fi tting fi nale for the 6-foot-2, 230-pound sopho-more from Haughton, La.,
who came into the season as Tyler Russell’s backup but ended it as one of the South-eastern Conference’s up-and-coming quarterbacks.
Now he’s the Bulldogs’ un-questioned leader going for-ward and expectations will be high. Dan Mullen, who is the fi rst coach to lead Mississippi State to four straight bowl ap-pearances, said the program
embraces the challenge.“Each team has a one-year
shelf life,” Mullen said on Tuesday. “The 2014 team is born on Jan. 10 when we re-port for our fi rst team meet-ing. We have one year to show what we can do. Our expecta-tions are always that we want to win the SEC West and rep-resent Mississippi State and the whole state of Mississippi. That’s the one thing we can control.”
The 2013 version of the Bulldogs started slowly, but continued to improve. Rus-sell suffered a concussion in a season-opening 21-3 loss to Oklahoma State, which opened the door for Prescott.
The sophomore quickly proved he was ready for start-ing job. He came to Missis-sippi State with a reputation as a run-fi rst quarterback, but proved to be a capable passer, completing 58.4 percent of his throws for 1,940 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven inter-ceptions.
His favorite target Jameon Lewis also returns next sea-son. Lewis easily led the Bull-dogs with 64 catches for 923 yards and fi ve touchdowns. He was also a frequent option on trick plays, throwing for three touchdowns, including two of them to Prescott.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina’s Bruce Ellington picked football over basketball Friday, giving up his fi nal sea-sons in each sport to enter the NFL draft.
The 5-foot-9 Ellington played point guard for the Gamecocks basketball team and was a receiver on the foot-ball squad the past three sea-sons. But it was on the football fi eld where Ellington had the most success. He led South Carolina with 49 catches for 775 yards and eight touch-downs this year.
Ellington may have had his best game in the eight-ranked Gamecocks’ 34-24 win over No. 19 Wisconsin in the Capi-
tal One Bowl on Wednesday. He caught six passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns, plus threw a 9-yard TD pass to South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw.
South Carolina also an-nounced that defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles or cor-nerback Victor Hampton gave up their senior seasons for the pros, although those three had previously said they were heading to the NFL early.
Ellington thanked football coach Steve Spurrier and both basketball coaches he played for with the Gamecocks, Dar-rin Horn and Frank Martin. Ellington had said Thursday night when the Gamecocks
returned home from the bowl that he’d made up his mind, but wanted to talk with Martin before announcing his choice.
Ellington, listed at 196 pounds, was also blessed with a body that rarely ran down.
He was a multi-sport standout at Berkeley High in Moncks Corner and quar-terbacked his team to a state football title his senior sea-son. But Ellington said he was coming to South Caro-lina to play basketball only for Horn’s team.
That changed at the end of his fi rst season when Elling-ton, the basketball team’s top scorer, put on the pads after basketball and took part in summer drills. Ellington was
part of the football team that fall, earning a spot on the all-SEC Freshman team, then re-turned to the court after South Carolina’s bowl game.
That was Ellington’s pattern the past two seasons, blending time on the court with football workouts.
Ellington said in November he expected that to continue this winter, too. But it was his play on the fi eld, though, that pointed him to a football career. While Ellington didn’t have a winning season with the basketball team — the Gamecocks changed coaches from Horn to Martin after the 2011-12 season — he helped Spurrier’s group to three straight 11-2 seasons.
South Carolina’s Ellington headed to NFLThe Associated Press
Alabama lost its fi nal two games and that aura of in-vincibility in a season when a national title sendoff seemed likely for quarterback AJ Mc-Carron and C.J. Mosley.
Those two Crimson Tide stars instead fi nished their ‘Bama careers with a 45-31 loss to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday night.
Two losses in three years, and two more in the last fi ve weeks. It was a tough way to go for Alabama (11-2) after two straight national titles, and an utterly uncharacteris-tic performance both for the defense and McCarron.
“I think when you have
the kind of success that we have had here in the past, it doesn’t happen by accident,” Tide coach Nick Saban said. “I think it takes a lot of hard work, and I think a lot of people have to buy into doing things at a very high standard, which these seniors and a lot of former players have set.
“And we certainly didn’t play maybe up to that stan-dard.”
Then again, no program in the country set a higher standard than the Tide. Even without McCarron, the Heis-man Trophy runner-up, and Butkus Award-winning Mos-ley, Saban and Alabama could very well be in Southeastern
Conference and national title contention again next season.
It’s what happened after the Tide’s last two-game losing streak ended the 2008 sea-son, including coincidentally a two-touchdown loss in the Sugar Bowl, that time to Utah. Alabama responded with an unbeaten 2009 en route to the fi rst of three national titles in four years.
There’s no shortage of tal-ent for a program likely poised to pull in another top-rated recruiting class, including six returning quarterbacks. Only Blake Sims has thrown a pass for the Tide, going 18 of 29 for 167 yards and two touch-downs.
Alabama must replace seven senior starters, includ-ing cornerback Deion Belue, guard Anthony Steen and No. 2 receiver Kevin Norwood.
The Tide could lose sev-eral underclassmen to the NFL draft, too. That includes All-America left tackle Cyrus Kouandjio and All-Southeast-ern Conference safety HaHa Clinton-Dix, both regarded as likely fi rst-round picks.
McCarron had gone 36-2 before Alabama lost to Au-burn on the last play of the regular season and fell to the Sooners.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Vanderbilt is changing its reputation.
Just ask Houston coach Tony Levine, who said Friday, “Vanderbilt football has got a great name,” even in football-crazed Texas.
A traditional also-ran in the Southeastern Conference, Vanderbilt will be playing for consecutive nine-win seasons for the fi rst time in school his-tory when the Commodores play Houston on Saturday in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
Vandy is appearing in
a bowl game for the third straight season — another fi rst for the program.
Vanderbilt set yet another fi rst by beating Florida, Geor-gia and Tennessee in the same season. The emergence of the Commodores has made an-other “great name” in coach James Franklin, who has been mentioned as a possible can-didate in several openings, in-cluding Penn State, Texas and with the NFL Browns.
Franklin has tried to keep the focus on the game Satur-day and on Friday wouldn’t confi rm or deny reports that
he will interview with Penn State on Sunday.
“I am more than happy to talk to you guys and answer any question you guys might have about Houston or Van-derbilt or these two unbe-lievable institutions or these two unbelievable football programs,” Franklin said. “... That is our focus guys, I’m telling you.”
Vanderbilt (8-4) closed the regular season with four straight wins. Houston (8-4) snapped a three-game los-ing streak by beating SMU to close its regular season.
Redshirt freshman Patton Robinette will start at quar-terback for the Commodores after senior Austyn Carta-Samuels had season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Carta-Samu-els played three games with the injury before fi nally hav-ing the surgery.
“It really is a tribute to the type of warrior and the type of competitor and teammate he is,” said Vanderbilt wide re-ceiver Jordan Matthews, who set an SEC record this season

Prescott was also Mississippi State’s best option in the run-ning game, fi nishing with a team-high 829 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns.
His play was consistently stel-lar despite personal tragedy and a shoulder injury.
His mother, Peggy, died in No-vember after a yearlong battle with cancer. He also suffered a nerve injury in his non-throwing shoulder in a loss to Texas A&M and missed the next two games against Alabama and Arkansas.
But when he was healthy, he was often spectacular. He’s al-ready earned a spot in school lore after coming off the bench in the fourth quarter — despite the injured shoulder — to lead Mississippi State over rival Mis-sissippi in the Egg Bowl.
The fi ve-touchdown perfor-mance against Rice was just an exclamation point.
“It was all about the game plan and my teammates,” Prescott said. “I guess I scored the touch-downs, but the rushing touch-downs, I basically walked into the end zone. The offensive line did a great job blocking for me. And then on the three passing touchdowns, Jameon (Lewis) helped and did a great job get-ting the ball (close), and then I just had to make one more throw.”
Now the Bulldogs will strive to put a complete team around him.
The team’s defense gradually improved and was terrifi c dur-ing the fi nal three games, giving up just 11.3 points per game.
Linebacker Benardrick McK-inney returns after leading the team with 71 tackles and fresh-man defensive tackle Chris Jones turned into one of the SEC’s best interior linemen by the end of the season, fi nishing with seven tackles for a loss.
Mullen said his young team’s toughness through adversity this season bodes well for next fall
“With a very young and im-pressionable group they didn’t listen to any (negativity),” Mul-len said. “They battled and they fought.”
387 yards and two touchdowns, but his two interceptions set up Oklahoma TDs, and his fumble was returned for a score in the fi nal minute. It was an ignomini-ous ending for a player regarded as one of the Tide’s best quarter-backs, and McCarron was hard on himself.
“It’s football. It happens,” he said. “I wish it wouldn’t have happened, but I’ll defi nitely take the loss and defi nitely take the blame.”
Whoever replaces him will be surrounded by a wealth of skill players. Five of the top six re-ceivers return, led by Amari Coo-per and tight end O.J. Howard. Tailback T.J. Yeldon is back after rushing for 1,245 yards and 14 touchdowns, along with backup Kenyan Drake.
Freshman Derrick Henry also turned in a huge game in the Sugar Bowl. He had eight carries for 100 yards, including a 43-yard touchdown. He took his fi rst career catch 61 yards for a touch-down to cut Alabama’s defi cit to 38-31 with 6:22 remaining.
“Derrick had a really good bowl practice,” Saban said. “Ac-tually we decided that he was our second-best back going into this game, and we were going to give him an opportunity based on his performance in practice and what he had done and the confi dence that he had gained throughout the course of the sea-son in terms of knowing what to do and playing fast.”
with 107 catches.Robinette started two games,
including the win over Florida, and came off the bench to play a major role in the win over Georgia.
“The thing about coach Franklin and his coaches and
his scheme, it’s about being plugged in and doing your job,” Matthews said. “So no matter who the person is — yeah, they might bring different attributes to the table, but once they’re plugged into the system, every-body goes through the process. I didn’t have a diffi cult time in the transition from Austyn to
Patton.“Patton is extremely mobile.
I think people got to see that in the fi rst couple of games. Now I think it’s going to be a chance for him to showcase his throw-ing ability also.”
Franklin is 23-15 in three seasons. Vanderbilt had back-to-back 2-10 seasons before Franklin’s arrival.
That turnaround at a school not known for having a rich football tradition has made Franklin an attractive candi-date for other jobs. He insists interest in him as a possible job candidate elsewhere won’t be a distraction against Houston.
“We focus on the things we can control,” Franklin said. “We focus on our preparation. We’ve been dealing with this stuff for three years, we really have. These guys do an unbe-lievable job in trusting the pro-cess and focusing on the things that are important to us, our preparation, our hard work, our attention to detail, things like that. We’re just excited to go play another game together as a family and that’s where our focus is completely.”
Robinette won’t be the only freshman quarterback on the fi eld. Houston’s John O’Korn threw 26 touchdown passes, the most of any true freshman in the nation.
Houston will be playing in its 22nd bowl game. This will be Vanderbilt’s seventh bowl game.
Levine said Houston’s edge in bowl appearances won’t mat-ter on Saturday.
“To say Houston has (22) bowl games and Vanderbilt has seven really has no bear-ing on what is going to be the outcome of this football game tomorrow,” Levine said. “We’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for coach Franklin and his staff. When you talk about Vanderbilt and the season they had, some victories that come to mind are Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. Even the four they’ve come up short on were very close games.”
The Cougars, who joined the American Athletic Conference in 2013 after 17 years in Con-ference USA, are making their eighth postseason trip in the past 11 seasons.
