0% chance of snow

It’s time to bundle up and drip faucets again in the Cross-roads.

Another cold snap will see the temperature dipping sharply below freezing several times this week, according to the Na-tional Weather Service Mem-phis Forecast Offi ce. It begins

with a cold air mass moving in today with a low tonight fore-cast at 14.

Temperatures will go even lower with a second blast on Thursday taking the low down to about 10 degrees in Corinth. Highs on Thursday and Friday are predicted at 29.

With a cold week on tap, a few fl urries of snow may be seen

before noon today and again Wednesday night and early Thursday when a stronger arc-tic front reaches the Mid-South.

While the front brings a chance of fl urries, “The big sto-ry though will be the signifi cant cold air that will accompany this system,” said NWM-Memphis. “Temperatures will likely hold steady or slowly fall on Thurs-

day, with temperatures expect-ed in the upper teens north to 20s south by afternoon. Strong north winds will also drive wind chills into the single digits, po-tentially near zero by Thursday afternoon across northern loca-tions.”

Forecasters will look at pos-sible wind chill advisories for parts of the region.

High temperatures will re-bound to the 40s for the week-end, but the chilly cycle appears set to continue.

“Another arctic airmass will surge south towards the region by the end of next weekend into the fi rst part of next week,” the weather service said. “This should bring a return to well be-low average temperatures.”

The word volunteer can be defi ned as an activity to im-prove human quality of life.

At the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter, the lives improved are those of the four-legged kind.

It was a busy day recently at the shelter as local Girl Scout Troop #23806 helped care for kittens and puppies.

“The girls got to decide what they wanted to do to achieve their Take Action Project badg-es,” said Troop Leader Ginger Radtye. “Everyone voted on the shelter, because we knew the need was there. Plus, who doesn’t love animals?”

Consisting of 2nd and 3rd graders, the troop understands the importance of volunteering even at their young age.

“We do different things to help people, but this has been my favorite,” said 8-year-old Alcorn Central Elementary School student Journey Sharp, as she helped give a Lab mix puppy a bath. “I love dogs — I have two at home.”

Radtye said the troop plans to return to the shelter in the spring to help provide more “fur-babies” love.

Community volunteer Am-ber Austin and her 11-year-old niece Linzey Austin, a Corinth

Middle School 6th grader, spend their extra time at the shelter doing “whatever is needed.”

“We head to the shelter to help out every chance we get,” said Austin. “There is still a real need for more compassionate people to volunteer.”

The two were recently spot-ted at Kroger staffi ng the shel-ter booth selling the 2014 shel-ter calendar.

“When we’re at the shelter,

Linzey loves walking and play-ing with the dogs,” Austin add-ed. “When it’s time to leave, Linzey always asks, ‘Do we have to go?’”

Elizabeth DeGraffenreid, who can be seen at the shelter every Monday and Tuesday, is one of several volunteer secre-taries.

Many have wondered if the J.C. Penney closings will ef-fect the Cass Street location in Corinth.

Crossroads residents may rest assured that their local J.C. Penney is safe.

“We are not closing,” said a store representative of Corinth’s JCP. “We are here to stay.”

On Jan. 15, J.C. Penney Company, Inc. announced that it will be closing 33 of its “un-der-performing” stores across the United States.

The closings will result in a savings of approximately $65 million annually for the Plano,

Texas, based company at the expense of eliminating at least 2,000 jobs.

In their press release, the company expressed remorse over the jobs that will be lost.

“While it’s always diffi cult to make a business decision that impacts our valued customers and associates, this important step addresses a strategic pri-ority to improve profi tability of our stores and position J.C. Penney for future success,” said Chief Executive Offi cer, Myron E. (Mike) Ullman, III.

This decision was made as part of J.C. Penney’s strategic plan to advance turnaround and save its struggling brand.

Strong winds prompted a warning over the weekend as fi refi ghters scrambled to extin-guish the fl ames of fi ve sepa-rate grass fi res that occurred simultaneously.

Many residents received an automated phone call urging them not to burn during the ravenous winds

Ricky Gibens, director of the Alcorn County Emergency Management Agency, stressed the importance of delaying the lighting of burn piles until after the winds calm down.

Citizens should exercise cau-tion when wind gusts are high or vegetation is extremely dry because it takes only seconds for fl ames to get wildly out of hand.

“A lot of people don’t real-ize that fi res create their own wind,” said Gibens. “The draft starts churning and causes it to be a lot more than people can handle with their garden hose.”

At least one home was severe-ly damaged as fl ames licked the exterior walls.

“We were lucky to have been able to contain the fi re and get everyone out safely, but the fl ames burned off the vinyl sid-ing of the house,” said the direc-tor.

Aside from the fi ve fi res that raged at once, fi refi ghters have responded to other grass fi res in the area. Several were re-ported on Monday.

According to the Mississippi Forestry Commission, there are no burn bans for any county in Mississippi at this time.

Thank you berry munch, girl scouts.

The annual cookie sale is on, and local troops are taking or-ders for eight varieties of the familiar cookies that still sell for $3.50 per box. The pre-sale order period continues through Sunday, and cookies will arrive in the latter half of February.

For Alcorn County, cookie sales have been growing by big margins in the last few years. Membership Manager Rhonda

Tennyson said sales reached 28,546 boxes last year. That’s an increase of 26 percent from 2012, while 2012 had a big 68 percent increase from 2011.

“There are a lot of deter-mined girls — that’s for sure,” said Tennyson. “We had three last year who sold over the 2,013 box mark and had lunch with the CEO and got addition-al prizes.”

This year’s sales target for the special recognition is 2,014 boxes. After cookies arrive, lo-

to emails and providing folks information when they stop by,” said De-Graffenreid. “It is a busy job, but very rewarding.”

DeGraffenreid, who lives in Corinth, is a strong animal cruelty ac-tivist.

“Volunteering at the shelter is my way of giv-ing back,” she said. “It is fulfi lling seeing animals come in with nothing, then a few weeks later, go home with a loving fam-ily.”

D e G r a f f e n r e i d ’ s 15-year-old daughter, Madison, also volunteers at the shelter.

Currently, more than 45 volunteers regularly donate their time to the shelter. There are four staff members who are on payroll.

“There is no way on earth we could run this shelter without our dedi-cated volunteers,” said Charlotte Doehner, who has been the volunteer di-rector at the shelter since August 2011. “Every per-son who helps at the shel-

ter is important.”The shelter’s goal is to

provide a safe, healthy and loving environment for the animals, said the director.

“We can never have too many volunteers,” added Doehner. “We always have animals that need love and work that needs to be done.”

(To volunteer, visit the shelter at 3825 Proper Street in Corinth. For more information, con-tact 284-5800, connect on Facebook or visit al-cornpets.com)

Today in

history

Today is Tuesday, Jan. 21, the 21st day of 2014. There are 344 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in

History:

On Jan. 21, 1954, the first atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton, Conn., as first lady Mamie Eisenhower christened the ves-sel with the traditional bottle of champagne broken against the bow. (However, the Nautilus did not make its first nuclear-powered run un-til nearly a year later.)

On this date:

In 1793, during the French Revolution, King Louis XVI, condemned for treason, was execut-ed on the guillotine.

In 1861, Jefferson Davis of Mississippi and four other Southerners whose states had se-ceded from the Union resigned from the U.S. Senate.

In 1908, New York City’s Board of Alder-men passed an or-dinance prohibiting women from smoking in public (the measure was vetoed two weeks later by Mayor George B. Mc-Clellan Jr.).

In 1910, the Great Paris Flood began as the rain-swollen Seine River burst its banks, sending water into the French capital.

In 1950, former State Department official Alger Hiss, accused of being part of a Communist spy ring, was found guilty in New York of lying to a grand jury. (Hiss, who proclaimed his inno-cence, served less than four years in prison.)

In 1968, the Battle of Khe Sanh began dur-ing the Vietnam War. An American B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs crashed in Green-land, killing one crew member and scattering radioactive material.

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter pardoned almost all Vietnam War draft evaders.

Ten years ago: The recording industry sued 532 computer users it said were illegally dis-tributing songs over the Internet.

Five years ago: The Senate confirmed Hillary Rodham Clinton as sec-retary of state.

ATLANTA — Hundreds of people fi lled Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlan-ta on Monday to remem-ber and refl ect on the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., one of many events across the nation to honor the slain civil rights leader.

The service at Ebene-zer featured prayers, songs, music and speak-ers. Across the country, there were also speeches, parades, marches and community service proj-ects to honor King, an Atlanta native.

About 50 years ago today, King had just ap-peared on the cover of Time magazine as its Man of the Year, and the nation was on the cusp of passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But many of the themes of the civil rights struggle, such a as poverty, violence and voting rights, still reso-nate with people.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said there were not many states that can boast a native son that merits a national holiday before saying, “but we Georgians can.”

Deal said this year he would work with state legislators to fi nd an ap-propriate way to honor the Nobel Peace Prize winner at the Georgia Capitol, which drew a standing ovation from the audience. He did not give any specifi cs, but civil rights leaders have suggested a statue at the state Capitol.

“I think that more than just saying kind thoughts about him we ought to take action ourselves,” said Deal, a Republican. “That’s how we embed truth into our words. I think it’s time for Geor-gia’s leaders to follow in Dr. King’s footsteps and take action, too.”

Deal also touched on criminal justice reforms his administration has tried to make, including drug and mental health courts and

community-based services to keep non-violent crimi-nals and young people out of prison.

Vice President Joe Biden addressed the Na-tional Action Network’s MLK Breakfast, urging them to protect voting rights.

“Let me remind you all, it all rests ultimate-ly on the ballot box, so keep the faith, or as my grandmom would say, ‘No, Joey, go spread the faith.’ It’s time to spread it,” Biden said.

New York City’s new Mayor Bill de Blasio marked the day by talking about economic inequal-ity, saying it was “closing doors for hard-working people in this city and all over this country.”

“We have a city sadly divided between those with opportunity, with the means to fully par-take of that opportunity, and those whose dreams of a better life are be-ing deferred again and again,” he told an au-dience at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

In Ann Arbor, Mich., activist and entertainer Harry Belafonte planned to deliver the keynote ad-dress for the 28th annual Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium at the University of Michigan’s Hill Auditorium.

Arthur Goff, 38, of Frederick, Md., visited the King Memorial in Washington with his mother, his son, his sister and her children.

Goff’s mother, 68-year-old Loretta Goff, said she was in nursing school in New York when King died in 1968 and remembers it being a traumatic time. Now, she said, everyone is responsible for continu-ing King’s legacy.

“There is still so much more to do,” she said.

In Memphis, Tenn., where King was assassi-nated, an audio recording of an interview with King was played at the Nation-al Civil Rights Museum.

Someone summarized Barack Obama in three words — “educated,” “smart” and “ig-norant.” Unfortunately, those same three words would describe all too many of the people who come out of our most prestigious colleges and universities today.

President Obama seems completely unaware of how many of the policies he is try-ing to impose have been tried before, in many times and places around the world, and have failed time and again. Economic equality? That was tried in the 19th century, in communities set up by Robert Owen, the man who coined the term “socialism.” Those communities all collapsed.

It was tried earlier, in 18th century Geor-gia, when that was a British colony. People in Georgia ended up fl eeing to other colonies, as many other people would vote with their feet in the 20th century, by fl eeing many other societies around the world that were estab-lished in the name of economic equality.

But who reads history these days? More-over, those parts of history that would under-mine the vision of the left — which prevails in our education system — are not likely to get much attention.

The net results are bright people, with impressive degrees, who have been told for years how brilliant they are, but who are of-ten ignorant of facts that might cause them to question what they have been indoctrinated with in schools and colleges.

Recently Kirsten Powers repeated on Fox News Channel the discredited claim that women are paid only about three-quarters of what a man is paid for doing the same work.

But there have been empirical studies, go-ing back for decades, showing that there is no such gap when the women and men are in the same occupation, with the same skills, experience, education, hours of work and continuous years of full-time work.

Income differences between the sexes re-fl ect the fact that women and men differ in all these things — and more. Young male doctors earn much more than young female doctors. But young male doctors work over 500 hours a year more than young female doctors.

Then there is the current hysteria which claims that people in the famous “top one percent” have incomes that are rising sharply and absorbing a wholly disproportionate share of all the income in the country.

But check out a Treasury Department study titled “Income Mobility in the U.S. from 1996 to 2005.” It uses income tax data, showing that people in the top one percent in 1996 had their incomes fall by 26 percent by 2005.

What about the other studies that seem to say the opposite? Those are studies of income brackets, not studies of human beings. More than half the people who were in the top one percent in 1996 were no longer there in 2005.

This is hardly surprising when you consid-er that their incomes were going down while there was widespread hysteria over the belief that their incomes were going up.

Empirical studies that follow income brackets over time repeatedly reach opposite conclusions from studies that follow individ-uals. But people in the media, in politics and even in academia, cite statistics about income brackets as if they are discussing what hap-pens to actual human beings over time.

All too often when liberals cite statistics, they forget the statisticians’ warning that correlation is not causation. For example the New York Times crusaded for government-provided prenatal care, citing the fact that black mothers had prenatal care less often than white mothers — and that there were higher rates of infant mortality among blacks.

But was correlation causation? American women of Chinese, Japanese and Filipino an-cestry also had less prenatal care than whites — and lower rates of infant mortality than ei-ther blacks or whites.

When statistics showed that black appli-cants for conventional mortgage loans were turned down at twice the rate for white ap-plicants, the media went ballistic. But whites were turned down almost twice as often as Asian Americans — and no one thinks that is racial discrimination.

Facts are not liberals’ strong suit. Rhetoric is.(Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas

A verse to share

JACKSON — It sounded like a Conservatives Anony-mous meeting one morning last week at the Mississippi Capitol.

“I’m Andy Gipson, and I’m tough on crime,” was how the chairman of the House Judiciary B Commit-tee introduced himself — perhaps to provide a bit of political cover for other Re-publican lawmakers ahead of a vote on a prison reform legislation meant to reduce the number of people in Mississippi state prisons.

For decades, Republicans have been advocating an anti-crime policy that in-cludes heavy doses of lock-ing people away. And that’s typically been combined with accusations that Dem-ocrats are soft on crime.

That’s not to say Demo-crats couldn’t get tough, too, especially in Missis-sippi. Democrats were still comfortably in the majority in the Legislature in 1995 when one of them, Sen. Rob Smith, got a law passed re-quiring criminals to serve 85 percent of their sentenc-es.

That measure was a big

contributor to an explosion in Mississippi’s prison pop-ulation. Though the state started easing away from the 85 percent law several years ago, the prison popu-lation has remained large and that has eaten into the state budget for years.

Republican Gov. Haley Barbour already tried to reverse the trend by letting more people out of prison from 2004 to 2012. But hundreds more people are still being added to state custody each year.

Now, with another effort underway, Republicans brought in an unlikely evan-gelist for prison reform: American Legislative Ex-change Council.

There are few organiza-tions more likely to raise a Democrat’s dander than ALEC, which has faced nu-merous allegations that it’s a conduit for big business to pass out model bills that Republicans state lawmak-ers then enact for corporate benefi t. ALEC says the at-tacks are unfair — that it’s a place for lawmakers and businesses to work together and that lawmakers modify bills to fi t local conditions.

But it’s safe to say that lib-erals fi nd the group odious and that ALEC doesn’t love them back.

But last year, ALEC en-listed in “Right on Crime,” a push by a conservative Texas think tank that ar-gues states are spending too much money locking up nonviolent offenders in exchange for not very good results.

“Prison serves a neces-sary role, but it’s not the right answer for every of-fender,” said Cara Sullivan, director of ALEC’s judicial performance project.

Sullivan argued before a small group of Missis-sippi lawmakers that what they’re doing is holding prisons accountable for the dollars they spend.

“Just because public safety is important doesn’t mean we can give it a hall pass on spending,” she said. “We need conservatives to lead the charge on this. These are conservative re-forms.”

To bolster her case, she brought along former Texas Rep. Jerry Madden, who helped pass a prison reform that cut the number of in-

mates in that state. Mad-den is now a senior fellow with Right on Crime, trav-eling the country to argue that lawmakers make smart changes to cut the prison population while enhancing public safety.

Madden then joined the competition to link the term “conservative” with shrink-ing the number of prison-ers.

“It was a conservative plan,” Madden said. “It was saving us money; it was making us safer; it was treating people who had drug problems, who had alcohol problems, who had mental health problems.”

Sometimes Texas seems like the conservative gold standard among Mississip-pi Republicans, where cow-boy-boot wearing Gov. Phil Bryant seems to consciously invoke echoes of longtime Texas Gov. Rick Perry. So, maybe it worked.

“It is conservative,” for-mer prosecutor and state Sen. Brice Wiggins, R-Pasc-agoula, said afterward.

GOP seeks to skirt danger on prisons

The Census Bureau’s holi-day treat is its release of an-nual state population esti-mates, to be digested slowly in the new year.

The headline from this year’s release is that popula-tion growth from July 2012 to July 2013 was 0.72 per-cent, lower than in the two preceding years and the low-est since the Great Depres-sion 1930s.

This refl ects continuing low, below-replacement-rate birth rates and lower immigration than in 1982-2007. Net immigration from Mexico evidently continues to be zero.

The nation’s economy may be growing again, but Americans — and potential Americans — are not acting like it. There’s a parallel here with poll results showing that majorities still believe we are in a recession that the National Bureau of Eco-nomic Research says ended in June 2009.

Sluggish population growth is matched by slug-gish geographic mobility. The Census Bureau reports that only 4.8 million Ameri-cans moved across state lines in 2012 — about half the percentage that did so in the boom years of the ’90s.

Americans were similarly immobile, indeed even more so, in the 1930s (the Okies fl eeing the dust bowl for Cal-ifornia were a picturesque but demographically minor

exception).N u m b e r s

can seem cold and im-personal, but beneath these numbers is a picture of a pessimistic, r isk-averse people.

But not uniformly, and not every-where. Population growth has been accelerating in states that depend heav-ily on the private sector and declining in states with rela-tively high dependence on government.

This refl ects the wear-ing off of the effects of the big jump in government spending triggered by the 2009 stimulus package and a heartening, though lim-ited, resurgence of the pri-vate sector as government spending has slowed.

Thus population growth has slowed, though remain-ing above the national aver-age, in the District of Colum-bia, Maryland and Virginia.

Growth rates have de-clined as well in other states with high levels of public sector and federal contract jobs — New Mexico, Alaska, Mississippi.

But growth rates have in-creased signifi cantly in most of the Midwest and Rocky Mountain heartland.

Growth has accelerated in Colorado, Arizona and

Nevada, which are fi nally recovering from the collapse of their housing markets in 2007-10. Colorado and Ari-zona have been attracting migrants from other states, while Nevada’s growth is fu-eled mostly by immigrants.

Growth has accelerated also, from a lower base, in almost all of the Midwest. It has risen to above-national-average rates not only in the Dakotas, but also in Nebras-ka and Minnesota.

In the industrial Great Lakes states, growth has been strongest in Indiana, which created about one-tenth of the nation’s new jobs in November, and it has risen from near zero or be-low zero in previously ailing Ohio and Michigan.

The straggler here is Illi-nois, burdened with a sharp tax increase and huge public sector pension obligations. Its immigration rate has fall-en below the national aver-age, and its domestic outmi-gration rate in 2010-12 (the latest numbers available) was higher than any state but Rhode Island.

Illinois’ 2012-13 growth rate was the fourth lowest of any state. Poor public policy has proven capable of sap-ping the amazing historic vitality of Chicagoland.

A vivid contrast is Texas, whose population grew 5.2 percent between 2010 and 2013, a higher percentage than anywhere except North

Dakota and D.C.With 8 percent of the na-

tion’s population in 2010, Texas produced 18 percent of its population growth in the next three years. That has largely been the result of relatively high birth rates and high in-migration.

The shale boom has helped Texas, but it’s far from the sole cause of its strength. Its economy is highly diver-sifi ed, to the point that it’s gaining high-tech jobs from Silicon Valley.

From September 2007 to November 2013, when the nation lost 1.8 million jobs, Texas gained 1.1 million. Texas’ public policies — low taxes, light regulation — have clearly paid off.

Most Texans tell pollsters they’re distressed about the direction of the nation — un-derstandably, since the ad-ministration’s policies are so different from their own.

But Texas’s demographic numbers suggest that tradi-tional American optimism and willingness to take risks are not altogether dead. They’re alive and thriving just north of the Rio Grande.

States with high government dependence see population decline

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”

-- Colossians 3:15v

Tender Father, may I not attempt to serve life for my own gratifi cation. May I not in-terpret love through vanity, but from reality. Make me worth while, that I may be relied upon for my pledges, and needed for my ser-vices. Amen.

Driver chargedafter double fatality

OXFORD — The driver of the vehicle that wrecked on Nov. 9 on Mississippi Highway 7 near the University of Mississippi, killing two Ole Miss students, has been charged on two counts of aggravated DUI.

Authorities say 20-year-old Christopher J. Grimaud of St. Louis and 18-year-old Kevin J. Eagan of St. Charles, Mo., were pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver, 21-year-old Arthur Lueking and passenger, 19-year-old James Connors, both of the St. Louis area, were ejected from the vehicle. Lueking and Conners were treated for minor injuries.

Authorities say Luek-ing appeared Friday in Lafayette County Justice Court in response to a warrant that was issued after authorities received results from a toxicology screening. Police are not releasing the results of the test.

Thunderbirds comingto Columbus base

COLUMBUS — The Air Force’s Thunderbirds precision flying team will perform during an open house and air show April 5-6 at Columbus Air Force Base.

Wing Commander Col. Jim Sears tells WTVA-TV that the event, which is free and open to the public, will be the first at the base since 2010.

Columbus Air Force Base is one of 14 bases chosen for Thunderbirds

performances in 2014.

Oxford tourism head leaving next week

TUPELO — Oxford Director of Tourism Mary-Kathryn Herrington is stepping down at the end of January to spend more time with her fam-ily.

Herrington has been with the tourism depart-ment for 10 years and became the director in 2009. Herrington and her husband, Lewis, had a baby girl in the sum-mer.

The Oxford Eagle re-ports that Mary Allyn Hedges will succeed Her-rington as tourism direc-tor. Hedges is currently the assistant tourism director.

Kinney Ferris will be-come assistant tourism director and the city will soon post a job opening to fill Ferris’ current posi-tion of visitor services.

The food and beverage tax brought in $2.13 mil-lion for 2013, an 8 per-cent increase over 2012

and $229,225 came in from the hotel/motel tax, a 6 percent increase over 2012.

Schools developing drug testing program

OCEAN SPRINGS -- The Ocean Springs School District is developing two random drug testing poli-cies beginning this fall.

One policy would cover middle school and high school students who par-ticipate in extracurricular activities, apply for a parking permit to drive to and from the high school or who enroll in driver’s education classes.

The other policy would apply to the entire stu-dent body and allow for drug testing if “reason-able suspicion” exists to administer the test and if a parental consent form has been signed.

Superintendent Bonita Coleman-Potter tells The Mississippi Press that both policies are intended to offer help to students with a drug problem.

2 die in Omaha plant explosion

OMAHA, Neb. — Omaha authorities confirm two people died and 10 others were se-riously hurt in an explo-sion and partial building collapse at an animal feed processing plant Monday morning.

Douglas County At-torney Don Kleine says he’s been notified about two deaths in Monday’s explosion.

It’s unclear if the death toll will rise as crews sift through the rubble of the Interna-tional Nutrition plant.

Interim Omaha Fire Chief Bernie Kanger says the search is pro-gressing slowly because the structure is unsafe.

Family of man heldworried, encouraged

SEATTLE — The family of an American missionary held more than a year in North Korea was heartbroken and encouraged by a brief news conference in which Kenneth Bae, wearing a gray cap and inmate’s uniform with the number 103 on his chest, apologized and said he committed anti-government acts.

“Our end goal is to see Kenneth reunited so he can recover emo-tionally and physically. He has chronic health problems,” family friend Derek Sciba told The As-sociated Press. Sciba is a friend of Bae’s sister, Terri Chung of Edmonds, and part of a group push-ing for Bae’s release.

“On the one hand it’s heartbreaking to see

him in a prison uniform at the mercy of folks in North Korea, but on the other hand it’s en-couraging to see him and that he’s able to speak,” Sciba said.

Bae made the com-ments at what he called a press conference held at his own request. He was under guard during the appearance. It is not unusual for prisoners in North Korea to say after their release that they spoke in similar situa-tions under duress.

Civil rights strugglestill resonates

ATLANTA — As the nation remembered and reflected Monday on the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., leaders and everyday Americans talked about how far the country has come in the past 50 years and how much more is to be done.

At Ebenezer Bap-tist Church in King’s hometown of Atlanta, civil rights leaders and members of King’s own family spoke about pov-erty, violence, health care and voting rights, all themes from the civil rights struggle that still resonate to this day.

“There is much work that we must do,” King’s daughter Ber-nice King said. “Are we afraid, or are we truly committed to the work that must be done?”

The event in Atlanta featured music, songs and choirs and was one of many celebrations, marches, parades and community service projects held Monday across the nation to honor the slain civil

rights leader.

Several surveillance changes hampered

WASHINGTON — Sev-eral of the key surveil-lance reforms unveiled by President Barack Obama face complica-tions that could muddy the proposals’ lawful-ness, slow their mo-mentum in Congress and saddle the govern-ment with heavy costs and bureaucracy, legal experts warn.

Despite Obama’s plans to shift the Na-tional Security Agency’s mass storage of Americans’ bulk phone records elsewhere, telephone companies do not want the respon-sibility. And the govern-ment could face privacy and structural hurdles in relying on any other entity to store the data.

Constitutional ana-lysts also question the legal underpinning of Obama’s commitment to setting up an advi-sory panel of privacy experts to intervene in some proceedings of the secret Foreign Intel-ligence Surveillance Court, which oversees the NSA’s data mining operations. Obama has asked Congress to set up such a panel, but senior federal judges al-ready oppose the move, citing practical and le-gal drawbacks.

The secret courts now operate with only the government making its case to a federal judge for examining some-one’s phone data. Civil libertarians have called for a voice in the room that might offer the judge an opposing view.

Christie: Hoboken treated no differently

TRENTON, N.J. — Republican Gov. Chris Christie’s administration on Monday pushed back against a claim that Superstorm Sandy relief funding was withheld from a severely flooded city because its Demo-cratic mayor wouldn’t sign off on a politically connected real estate venture.

Lt. Gov. Kim Guad-agno strongly denied Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer’s claims as “false” and “illogical” on Monday, the day before Christie’s second-term inauguration. And Marc Ferzan, executive direc-tor of the Governor’s Office of Recovery and Rebuilding, told report-ers in a conference call that Hoboken has been treated no differently than other cities with respect to storm relief funds.

Zimmer said on Sat-urday that Guadagno pulled her aside at a supermarket opening in May and said Hoboken’s

storm recovery funds hinged on Zimmer’s ap-proval of a commercial development whose lawyer and lobbyist are close to the governor. On Sunday, Zimmer told CNN the ultimatum was delivered on behalf of the governor, a possible 2016 presidential candi-date.

Guadagno said the mayor’s description of the conversation “is not only false but is illogical and does not withstand scrutiny when all of the facts are examined.”

“Any suggestion that Sandy funds were tied to the approval of any proj-ect in New Jersey is com-pletely false,” she said.

Insurance firms sell wedding policies

HARTFORD, Conn. — Worried about the groom getting cold feet? There’s an insurance policy for that.

With the cost of the av-erage American wedding reaching about $26,000, insurers have been sell-ing a growing number of policies to protect against losses from extreme

weather, illness and, in one firm’s case, even a sudden change of heart.

Cheryl Winter spent $500 for Hartford-based Travelers Cos. Inc. to cover her daughter’s $50,000 destination wedding last October in New Orleans, where her biggest concern was a potential hurricane. The weather cooperated, but the limousine never showed up. Her daughter took a taxi cab to the church, and they used the insurance policy to claim the deposit money they couldn’t get back from the limo driver.

“No one wants to be walking in the French Quarter in a long gown and high heels,” said Winter, who lives in the Houston area.

The insurance is of-fered by a small number of U.S. companies. Insur-ers declined to provide data on the number of customers beyond saying they are growing steadily. It can cover losses from issues ranging from bankrupt wedding halls to cancelations forced by unexpected military deployments.

Greenwood acting police chief to retire

GREENWOOD — Greenwood’s acting Police Chief Johnny Langdon Sr. will retire at the end of January.

Langdon, a longtime officer with the depart-ment, has been serving as chief since Henry Purnell retired in Sep-tember.

The Greenwood Com-monwealth reports that Langdon had said previ-ously he did not want to be considered for the permanent job.

Earlier this month, Mayor Carolyn McAd-ams’ attempt to hire Rob Banks for chief was derailed by a personnel policy, which prohibits officers from serving in any other department with police powers.

Banks serves as a Carroll County con-stable, meaning he has the authority to make ar-rests. He said he would not step down from that

job until his term expires in 2015. Woman dies in Amite County car accident

LIBERTY — A Houston, Texas, truck driver has been charged with DUI-homicide related to an ac-cident this past week in which a 67-year-old Amite County woman died.

Police tell The Enter-prise-Journal that bond was Friday at $150,000 for 50-year-old Gerald Wayne Bradley. Bradley is being held in the local jail.

Police Chief Nathan Toney says Martin was southbound on Missis-sippi Highway 584 on Jan. 13 when her car col-lided with an empty flat-bed trailer from Bradley’s truck.

Panel named tostudy park safety

HERNANDO — Rec-reation district officials and sheriff’s deputies in DeSoto County will study ways to curb vandalism and beef up security at Hernando DeSoto Park.

The Commercial Ap-peal reports the study committee will be led by recreation commission-ers Lee Ashcraft, Mike

Duncan and Stewart Lott.

Crews removingsquatters’ camps

JACKSON — Jackson city crews with heavy machinery and barges have been hauling off squatters’ camps set up on the Pearl River above Ross Barnett Reservoir.

They moved carpet, lumber, tents, barbecues and outhouses, the res-ervoir’s general manager, John Sigman, told The Clarion-Ledger.

Sigman said the camps both made the incorrect impression that they were on reserved areas and brought com-plaints that they were eyesores.

“We’ve had this prob-lem with squatters over the years,” Sigman said. “This is public property that should be open to all, but some have staked their claim.”

The Reservoir Parks Policy Committee has approved new rules to limit the number of con-secutive days people can camp along the river, ban permanent camps and require campers to take out everything they brought with them.

This Year’sResolutionsAll of us have likely made some resolutions for the New Year. Are you serious about keeping them? If so, you will need to practice them “religiously” (a good term if used correctly) for at least the next twenty days - without fail. As you live in this new year, resolve to do those things that are important and that will make a difference to you and to others - both here and for eternity.

• This year, think of someone else fi rst before you take care of self (Phil. 2:4)• This year, take time to see the wonder of God’s beautiful world (Pas. 19: 1-6)• This year, write a love letter to an elderly relative before it is too late (Jas 4:14)• This year, thank God for what you are and what you have, whether great or small. (Col. 3:15)• This year, mend a quarrel (Prov. 6:3), Give a soft answer (Prov. 15:1) Answer wisely.• This year, seek out a forgotten friend and remind them how special they are to you (Prov. 18:24).• This year, dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust (1 Cor. 13)• This year, keep your promises. Be a person of integrity (Rm. 12:17).• This year, forego a grudge; forgive an enemy (better yet, make them your friend) (Jas. 5:9)• This year, listen more and talk less (Jas. 5:9).• This year, be gentle (Gal. 5:22) laugh a little, Laugh a little more. (Prov. 17:22)• This year, go to church services every time (Heb. 10:25). The local congregation awaits you with welcomed arms. • This year, express your appreciation toward others.• This year, pray for peace. Practice peace. Be a peacemaker (Mt. 5:9). Be at peace with others (I Thes. 5:13).• This year, put God where he belongs in your life. (Mt. 6:33). First and foremost, obey His Word (Rev. 1:3)

Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: I am in a loveless marriage. My husband and I barely speak to each other. I mostly stay in my room because it’s easier than dealing with my life when I’m not by myself.

Do people really hold hands and kiss good-night? This has never happened to me. I have panic attacks, and this is a problem. But I know I am capable of love if giv-en the chance. Unfortu-nately, there are no more chances for me, because my husband just doesn’t care. What can I do? — Lonely Lady

Dear Lonely: Your marriage sounds ter-rible. Are there chil-dren? Are you fi nan-cially dependent on your husband? Are you unwilling to con-sider divorce? Why did you marry this man? Yes, couples hold hands and kiss goodnight and care deeply for each other. Please get some coun-seling, with or with-out your husband, and see what you can do to make your life better.

Dear Annie: You have printed many letters from older people who are up-set because they are es-tranged from their grand-

children or because they are not allowed to visit as often as they would like. Here are a few questions these folks might con-sider:

1. Do you treat your adult children like adults? Or do you mar visits with unsolicited advice and criticism disguised as concern? Typical topics that should be off-limits include child discipline and housekeeping.

2. Do you constantly make jokes at your chil-dren’s expense or revisit sensitive issues from their youth and then, when they object, claim they have no sense of humor?

3. Do you expect to be treated like royalty while visiting, rather than pitching in like fam-ily members should? This is especially frustrating when babies and young children are involved and parents could use an extra hand. Bring a dish to share or help prepare dinner and clean up after. Change the kid’s dirty di-aper. Get your duff off of the sofa.

4. Do you consistently

undermine your chil-dren’s authority in front of their own children?

5. Do you fi nd your-self complaining to peers about your children’s re-luctance to invite you over or to take your advice on parenting?

If so, trust me, it means the time before, during and after your visits is stressful to your child and his or her partner. And the grandchildren will eventu-ally pick up on this. You are grandparents. That doesn’t make you infal-lible. Take responsibility for your end of things. — Rolled Up the Welcome Mat

Dear Rolled: You make some good points, although we remember a time when grandparents received more re-spect, when a parent’s advice was cherished and no one would dream of asking Grandma to clean up the house. But on the other extreme, we’ve heard from children whose parents were physically and emo-tionally abusive and still expect to have full access to the grand-children. The healthi-est relationships lie somewhere in be-tween.

Dear Abby

Horoscopes

The Daily Corinthian kicks off another yearof exciting magazines with Lifestyles Plus.

Don’t miss it in the Sunday, Feb. 1, edition.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Should you put up and shut up, or cut ties for the greater good? Instead of endlessly mulling, let’s cut to the quick. The answer is: neither. There’s a compro-mise that will work brilliantly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you’re asking something of a friend, it might be hard to know how much is too much. The usual cues won’t read so easily. A good rule is to be as self-suffi cient as possible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Are you doing it wrong? Is everyone? These are the questions you’ll ask of your group now, prefer-ring the brave and challenging response over the clueless con-sensus.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A fl uid attitude will serve you well. Let yourself be changed by new information. The stubborn peo-ple who don’t react to what is going on right now will get stuck in the past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know people, and you want the people you know to know each other. If you let this instinct to mix and mingle be your guiding light, you will end up with a lot of grateful friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are an investigator of sorts today. Random knowledge will delight you, and so will any task that requires you to seek it. Your curiosity is a rare and most at-tractive gift.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you have a lot to do, you will do a lot. The same goes when you have but a little to do. The key is to sign up for things. Pile on the responsibilities. You can handle them now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The truth has a funny way of com-ing out. You sense it, someone says it, and suddenly you realize that it has arrived and there’s no going back. Bonus: The truth usually, ultimately, makes things

better.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). The people who are fully themselves might not say the things you want them to say, and that’s the beauty of it. They’ll say what they need to say, and you’ll respect that impulse.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The reason you don’t ob-sess about your own journey through this day is that you are, at least some of the time, think-ing of the human condition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Are you thinking or feeling? The functions are not mutually exclu-sive. Thinking without feeling is like dancing with only your feet -- you’ll fall. Believe in your inher-ent ability to counterbalance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t ask anyone to change. Change is possible, but it usu-ally doesn’t occur as an answer to someone’s request. Practice acceptance, and when that isn’t working for you, try harder.

DEAR ABBY: I just read the letter from “Twice Bitten in Washington” (Nov. 4), who had thanked veterans for their ser-vice to our country and received several negative responses. I’m a retired vet, dying from Agent Orange poisoning. I served two tours in Vietnam, and when I re-turned from Nam, I was called a baby killer, spat upon and re-fused taxi service because I was in uniform.

America has had a change in attitude since the Vietnam War. Today, many folks appreci-ate what the military is doing. I have been thanked several times while wearing my Vietnam Veter-ans hat and it makes me feel great, to the point my eyes water.

Tell “Twice Bitten” to continue thanking the military vets. It means a lot, especially to vets like me. Sure beats being called a baby killer. -- VIETNAM VET

DEAR VIETNAM VET: I re-ceived many letters like yours from Vietnam vets who were also not thanked for their ser-vice when they returned home. Like you, they very much appreci-ate hearing a “delayed” thanks for their service. I would like to thank you and all the readers who responded to that column with such emotional and some-times gut-wrenching stories. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: I would like to of-fer “Twice” an explanation for the reaction she received. I served two tours in Iraq and lost some

good friends. When vets return home from war, home is a scary place. The life we lived and breathed is no longer. Af-ter spending so much time fearing the unknown and

protecting ourselves physically and emotionally, we can’t stop.

Many of us came home feeling guilty that we lived while others died -- ashamed that we might not have done enough, that we should have been the one who was laid to rest, that maybe if we had looked harder, fought harder, we wouldn’t have lost a soldier.

When I returned home, I re-acted the way “Twice” described. I was resentful that someone would take the time to honor me, but not the friends I lost. It was a long time before I realized that by honoring me with their sin-cere thanks, they were honoring every soldier we have ever lost. Now when I am thanked, I shake hands, I hug, and I thank them for their respect.

To “Twice”: Never stop! Do not be afraid. We are not hate-ful or angry. We are scared and sad. Your expression of thanks means more than any parade, any medal or any award. -- BRAN-

DON IN INDIANA

DEAR ABBY: As a soon-to-be-retired career Army offi cer, I am one of those who feel awkward when people thank us for doing our jobs. The Army was a career I chose, knowing the hardships and what would be asked of me. The military is fi lled with all kinds of people, and even though I may not always be in the mood for a stranger to approach me when I’m out and about, deep down in-side it is refreshing to know that what I do is appreciated. -- PHIL

IN WASHINGTON STATE

DEAR ABBY: One day while walking in a cemetery, we saw an elderly gentleman leaning on the arm of his caregiver, and we real-ized he was looking at a veterans memorial. My wife approached and asked if he was a veteran. He looked at her and said “Yes,” and she said, “Thank you very much for your service and your bravery.” He immediately teared up and croaked out a “Thank you.” His caregiver rolled her eyes.

My wife got into her face and said, “You have a hero on your arm, so show him some re-spect!” The veteran cried harder, grabbed my wife’s hand and said, “No one has ever said that to me, ESPECIALLY my caregiver.” -- KIMIT IN THE MIDWEST

Local schedule

The Biggersville Lions wrapped up a busy week of play on Saturday with two wins in three outings.

The Lions (15-3) won their two most important games -- their Division 1-1A opener on Tuesday and a win at former 1-1A rival Blue Mountain on Friday -- before running out of gas in the fourth quarter against Pontotoc on Satur-

day.The 62-48 loss to the 4A

Warriors came in the fi nal game of the Kings of the Court Showcase at North Pontotoc High School. The Lions’ three losses -- the second game against Aberdeen was an ex-hibition contest -- have come to 6A Tupelo and 1-4A mem-bers Corinth and Pontotoc.

Biggersville travels to Thrasher tonight and hosts Jumpertown on Friday in

1-1A contests. The Lions will face West Lincoln at the Hot Bed Classic in New Albany on Saturday.

■ Biggersville opened its six-game league slate with a 71-64 overtime win over Wheeler. The Lions had to rally from a 46-37 defi cit af-ter three quarters and needed a late 3-pointer by Jaylon Gaines to force overtime.

Emmanuel Simmons paced the Lions with 19, while Dar-

ian Barnett, Daniel Simmons and Tyran Davis also scored in double fi gures.

■ Biggersville posted 22 or more points in three quarters in beating Blue Mountain, which is now a member of Di-vision 2-1A. E. Simmons and Jaylon Gaines led the barrage with 24 and 23, respectively.

■ On Saturday, Pontotoc jumped out to a 21-7 lead af-

Lions win 2 over long weekBY H. LEE SMITH II

Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos and Richard Sher-man’s Seattle Seahawks were the NFL’s best all season, so it’s fi tting that they’ll meet in the Super Bowl.

Nobody scored as many points or gained as many yards as the Broncos.

Nobody allowed as few points or gave up as few yards as the Seahawks.

And nobody won as many games as those clubs, either.

What a way to fi nish the season. When the AFC cham-pion Broncos (15-3) play the NFC champion Seahawks (15-3) on Feb. 2 at what could be a chilly MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., it will be the fi rst Super Bowl since 1991 pitting the league’s high-est-scoring team in the regu-lar season against the team that was scored on the least, according to STATS.

It’s also only the second time in the last 20 Super

Bowls that the No. 1 seed in each conference reached the NFL championship game.

“It will be a great matchup,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “I think it’s an extraor-dinary opportunity to go against a guy that set all the records in the history of the game.”

That, of course, would be Manning, the 37-year-old quarterback who is the only four-time NFL MVP — and no one would be surprised

if No. 5 arrives the night be-fore the Super Bowl. He es-tablished marks by throwing for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards, helping Denver lead the league with 37.9 points and 457.3 yards per game. Manning is an inescapable pitchman, too, seen Sunday after Sunday during TV com-mercials. Hey, there he was selling cars during breaks in the broadcast of the NFC title

Super Bowl pits NFL’s top ‘O’ vs. top ‘D’The Associated Press

FAIRHOPE, Ala. — Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is hoping to benefi t from the Se-nior Bowl, even if he doesn’t throw a pass.

Murray is observing prac-tices alongside the healthy passers, attending position meetings and visiting with NFL teams. He can’t play or practice while recovering from a torn anterior cruciate

ligament in his left knee sus-tained against Kentucky on Nov. 23.

“Obviously I wish I could participate in practice but it’s still great to be in the meetings, hang out with the coaches, hang out with some of these guys and just have some fun,” Murray said. After his fi rst practice Monday and meetings with NFL teams on Sunday, he feels that com-

ing to south Alabama “was a great decision.”

Murray scored one triumph of sorts when he measured out at 6-foot, three-eighths of an inch in Monday’s weigh-in. That places him a tad shorter than Clemson’s Tajh Boyd but over the symbolic 6-foot mark.

He quickly let Georgia of-fensive coordinator Mike Bobo know, “because he al-

ways said I’m 5-10, 5-11.”“I texted him and said,

‘Hey, I’m not 5-10, 5-11. I’m 6-foot, three-eighths. Take that,’” Murray said, smiling.

Murray knows the height question still isn’t going away leading up to the draft, even with the success of similarly-sized Drew Brees of the Saints and Seattle’s Russell Wilson,

Ice Bowl Tournaments benefit the Iuka Food DepotThe 14th annual Ice Bowl and Survivor Doubles Disc Golf Tour-naments were held Jan. 11-12 at Tishomingo State Park. Zach Hudson (above) of the Tupelo Disc Golf Association throws his tee shot at No. 7, while a group of Advanced Amateur players (left) complete No. 5. The Ice Bowl Disc Golf Charity Tourna-ments were started in Kansas City in 1987 by Rick Rothstein and friends as a way to have fun and raise money for local charities. Tishomingo State Park Tournaments raised $561 and 100 pounds of food for the Iuka Food Depot. Bill Brekeen, park manager, thanked everyone who supported the events and helped raise funds for a local organization that does so much to help others every day. In ad-dition, Brekeen thanked the Tu-pelo Disc Golf Association for volunteering last minute to run the tournaments. Mark your cal-endars and plan to participate and get involved in the upcom-ing 17th annual Spring Disc Golf Tournament, to be held March 8-9.

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State defensive coordinator Geoff Collins has agreed to a two-year contract extension.

The school announced the new contract on Monday. It pays him $575,000 for the upcoming season and $625,000 in 2015.

Collins has been on Mississippi State’s coaching staff for the past three seasons, but became the full-time defensive coordinator last year. The Bulldogs gave up 23 points per game, which ranked fi fth in the 14-team Southeastern Conference.

Mississippi State fi nished with a 7-6 record.

Mississippi State coach Dan Mul-len said in a statement Monday that Collins “continues to raise expecta-tions for our team defensively and is also a tremendous recruiter.”

Collins says the team has “a tal-ented group coming back next sea-son” and believes “it can be a special year for us.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt’s defen-sive staff has a Cleveland Browns fl avor.

Whisenhunt continued putting to-gether his staff Monday by announc-ing the hiring of defensive coordina-tor Ray Horton and defensive backs coach Louie Cioffi , who each fi lled the same roles this season in Cleve-land. The Browns fi red head coach Rob Chudzinski after the season.

During the 2011 and 2012 sea-sons, Horton was defensive coordi-nator and Cioffi was defensive backs coach in Arizona while Whisenhunt was the Cardinals’ head coach.

Whisenhunt and to be a piece of the puzzle to move this team forward,” Horton said Monday in a release an-nouncing the move.

The Browns allowed the third-fewest yards per pass attempt of any NFL team this season. The Browns ranked ninth in the NFL in total de-fense, up from 23rd a year earlier.

“Scheme-wise, one of the most im-pressive things about Ray is his fl ex-ibility,” Whisenhunt said in a team release. “He has the ability to go be-tween a 4-3 and 3-4 and put our play-ers in the best position to succeed. It has been evident by what he done and where his defenses have ranked in the league over the last few years.”

Horton worked on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ coaching staff from 2004-10. He also was a secondary coach for two seasons with the Detroit Lions and fi ve seasons with the Cin-cinnati Bengals. He began his coach-ing career as a defensive assistant for the Washington Redskins from 1994-96. Horton also had a 10-year playing career as a safety with the Cincinnati Bengals (1983-88) and Dallas Cowboys (1989-92).

During Cioffi ’s one season in Cleveland, Browns cornerback Joe Haden earned his fi rst Pro Bowl se-lection and picked off four passes. Cioffi also helped the Cardinals lead the NFL in passer rating allowed and rank second in the league with 22 interceptions in 2012. Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson had seven interceptions in 2012 to earn his fi rst Pro Bowl selection.

Cioffi also was a staff assistant with the New York Jets in 1993-94 and coached with the Cincinnati Bengals from 1997-2010.

“I am very excited to be reunited with Coach Whisenhunt and to get to work building a championship team,” Cioffi said. “I think (Whisen-hunt) is an outstanding communica-tor, a great motivator and terrifi c at attacking opposing offenses.”

game. Expect even more face time now.

Manning’s oft-told tale, certain to be repeated a million times in the com-ing days, includes his comeback from a series of surgical procedures to his neck, attempts to cure problems that led him to sit out the entire 2011 season. That also led the Indianapolis Colts to send him packing despite two Super Bowl appearances with that club, including a title in 2007.

“It’s certainly well-doc-umented what my jour-ney the past 2 years has been,” said Manning, who could become the fi rst starting QB to lead two franchises to titles, “but this team’s overcome a lot of obstacles this year.”

None more serious,

perhaps, than coach John Fox’s absence for about a month because of a heart operation. Other issues included the fax faux pas that precipitated the departure of pass rush-er Elvis Dumervil, star linebacker Von Miller’s drug-testing suspension and season-ending knee injury, and the losses of a handful of other starters on defense.

“Being in my 16th sea-son, going to my third Super Bowl — I know how hard it is to get there,” Manning said.

He threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-16 victory over Tom Brady and the New Eng-land Patriots in the AFC championship game Sun-day. Manning’s offense scored on six consecutive possessions, accounted for more than 500 yards,

had zero turnovers and zero sacks.

Ol’ No. 18’s opposite number in two weeks, Se-attle quarterback Russell Wilson, provides a real contrast as he seeks his — and the Seahawks’ — fi rst Super Bowl trophy.

Wilson is 6 inches shorter, 12 years younger, a skilled scrambler in only his second pro season af-ter slipping to the third round of the draft; he’s a guy who had to transfer colleges to get playing-time and thought about

pursuing a baseball ca-reer instead.

“Any time you get to the Super Bowl,” Wilson said after Seattle beat the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Sunday, “it’s a special time.”

Other members of the Seahawks getting the chance to introduce them-selves to a wide audience include rugged running back Marshawn Lynch — fans tossed packs of his favorite candy, Skittles, onto the fi eld after a 40-yard TD run in the third quarter — and Carroll, a

rah-rah sort who was a ti-tle-winning college coach at Southern California.

And maybe, just maybe, some of Manning’s less-heralded defensive team-mates — the ones who clamped down on New England’s running game Sunday and limited Brady much of the afternoon — will get their chance to shine, too.

Seattle’s defense, led by Sherman, allowed an av-erage of 14.4 points and 273.6 yards, and topped the NFL in takeaways.

On Sunday, the Se-ahawks forced three turnovers in the fourth quarter alone, including a victory-sealing intercep-tion by Malcolm Smith af-ter Sherman stretched his left hand to tip Colin Kae-pernick’s pass away from receiver Michael Crabtree in the end zone.

“I’m the best corner in the game,” said Sherman, an All-Pro. “When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the result you’re going to get.”

Seattle’s only other trip to the big game ended with a loss to the Pitts-burgh Steelers in 2006. Denver will be playing in its seventh Super Bowl and eyeing a third title, to go with those from 1998 and 1999, when current executive John Elway was the QB.

In addition to Elway, Manning can match his younger brother Eli with a second Super Bowl crown. Eli, a spectator on Sunday in Denver, won two trophies with the New York Giants, whose stadium hosts this year’s Super Bowl, the fi rst to be played outdoors at a cold-weather site.

who has led the Seahawks to the Super Bowl.

“Obviously I know it’s going to be asked about a lot,” Mur-ray said. “I’ve been lucky that there’s a lot of quarterbacks right now in the NFL that are 5-10, 5-11, 6-foot. I mean, the quarterback in the Super Bowl right now is what, 5-10, 5-11.

And he’s had two tremendous years. Those guys are really helping me out a lot.

“I mean, I don’t care. Peo-ple are going to say it. You’ve just got to go out there and prove them wrong.”

Murray remains confi dent that he’ll at least be close to 100 percent in time for Geor-gia’s pro day in April.

Murray has been going

through rehabilitation with Dr. James Andrews and working out at the Athletes’ Performance Institute in Gulf Breeze, Fla., along with South Carolina defensive end Jade-veon Clowney.

Murray gave NFL execu-tives plenty of college fi lm to study even if he’s not throw-ing at the Senior Bowl.

Murray captured most of

the Southeastern Confer-ence’s major passing records in four years as Georgia’s quarterback and started all 52 games before his injury.

“I’ve played with some huge offensive lines,” he said. “I played in the SEC and those guys are pretty big and I don’t have any trouble seeing over them or seeing around them. I have no problems at all.”

SUPER BOWL

MURRAY

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Kay-la McBride scored 22 points to lead fi ve players in double fi gures and No. 2 Notre Dame erased an early 12-point defi -cit to beat No. 11 Tennessee 86-70 on Monday night.

Since losing the fi rst 20 games in this series, Notre Dame has beaten Tennessee four straight years by an aver-age margin of 17 points.

Michaela Mabrey and Nat-alie Achonwa each added 15 points for Notre Dame (17-0), which hit 10 of 20 3-pointers. Madison Cable had 12 points and Jewell Loyd added 11.

Meighan Simmons scored 23 points for Tennessee (14-4). Isabelle Harrison had 13 points and 16 rebounds. Ariel Massengale had 14.

The Lady Vols shot just 8 of 32 and committed 12 turn-overs in the second half after

leading 46-41 at the intermis-sion.

Notre Dame entered the night leading the nation in fi eld-goal percentage (.517), 3-point percentage (.436) and assists per game (22.4) while racing to the second-fastest start in school history, behind the 2000-01 national cham-pionship team that opened 23-0. Tennessee, on the other hand, had dropped three of its last seven games and was struggling to fi nd its footing.

Yet it was Tennessee that looked like the team on a roll in the early going. The Lady Vols led by as many as 12 points in the fi rst half over a Notre Dame team that hadn’t trailed by more than seven points all season.

Tennessee took the lead by beating the hot-shooting Irish at their own game. Tennessee shot 55.9 percent (19 of 34)

overall and went 5 of 6 from 3-point range in the fi rst half against a Notre Dame team that hadn’t allowed any oppo-nent to make more than 44.9 percent of its shots all season.

Massengale helped the Lady Vols seize the momentum by scoring 14 points in the fi rst nine minutes of the game.

Notre Dame wasn’t nearly as sharp.

The Irish committed three turnovers in the fi rst 90 sec-onds of the game and had to adjust to playing without Loyd, who picked up two fouls in the fi rst 5 ? minutes of the game and sat out the rest of the fi rst half. Loyd entered the night averaging a team-high 17.3 points per game.

But after making 19 of its fi rst 28 shots, Tennessee missed 17 of its next 18 attempts to allow Notre Dame to claw back into the game. Tennessee missed

its last six shots of the fi rst half and started the second half by shooting 1 of 12.

Notre Dame pulled ahead 49-48 when Taya Reimer capped a 14-2 run that start-ed late in the fi rst half by converting a three-point play with 15:27 remaining. After Tennessee briefl y regained the lead, Notre Dame sank a trio of 3-pointers on a 9-0 spurt that gave the Irish a 58-51 advantage. Mabrey made the fi rst two, including one that put Notre Dame ahead 52-51 with 13:25 left.

The Irish then gradually extended the lead as Tennes-see continued to shoot poorly and got careless with the ball.

Simmons sank a 3-pointer that cut Notre Dame’s advan-tage to 60-56 with 10:09 re-maining, but the Irish scored the next 13 points to put the game away.
