Tennessee set to launch new Powerball game

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

The Tennessee Lottery’s “new” Powerball game launches on January 15 and will feature bigger jackpots, better odds and is expected to create more million-dollar winners.

“There has been great excitement and anticipation over the

launch of the ‘Bigger, Better, More’ Powerball game,” said Rebecca Hargrove, President and CEO of the Tennessee Lottery. “With the start of the rolldown, we’re pleased to officially begin the process that will take us to the start of the new game.”

Powerball is a popular draw-

ing-style lottery game sold in 44 jurisdictions across the United States. Since the game’s launch in Tennessee in April 2004, Powerball players in the state have won more than $294.6 million in prizes (as of 11/30/2011).

Details about the redesigned game include:

■ Jackpots starting at $40 million rather than $20 million ■ Ticket cost of $2 ■ Better overall odds of winning a prize (going from 1-in-35 to 1-in-32) ■ Second highest prize level increases from $200,000 to $1 million “We think these changes to

Powerball will prove highly successful. Players love the larger jackpots and will appreciate the bigger prizes and better odds,” added Hargrove. “At the same time, we’re hopeful that proceeds from the new game will increase the Lottery’s contriPlease see POWERBALL | 2

New year provides fresh start Citizens vow to do better in 2012 Staff Reports

A new year brings a fresh start.

What happened the previous 365 days is history and a chance to make things better in 2012 started early Sunday morning.

Most individuals begin the new year with a resolution or commitment to do better in certain areas of the their lives.

For most the new season brings a chance to draw closer to God and family.

“I’m not a new year’s resolutionist in the traditional sense,” said City of Corinth Projects Coordinator Kim Ratliff. “I believe as a person seeks to be in God’s will for their life, their direction will always be set on the path they need to be on.”

Living Free Ministries Director Tommy Wilson is also striving to spend more time with God and loved ones.

“I hope to grow closer to the Lord and my family this year,” said the director.

Mona Lisa Grady doesn’t ever recall making a resolution in the past, but offered a scripture to live by.

“Whatever you do, work at it with your whole heart, as in service to the Lord rather than man,” said the CARE Foundation Executive Director of the verse found in Colossians 3:23.

Family time Jan Hurley is committed to more personal time with family.

“My resolution for this year … spend more time with family one-on-one, face-to-face, not on my phone or computer,” said the SOUTHBank Vice President of Marketing. “It may be a simple one, but it means a lot to me since I feel like most of the contact I have with my friends and family was increasingly by email, phone or text. What ever happened to sitting down and talking?”

Tourism Director Kristy White also has a similar resolution when it comes to loved ones.

“I resolve to make more time for my friends and family,” said White.

The new year brings a time to be more grateful.

“This new year I will be focused on thankfulness,” said Alliance Community Development Director Andrea Rose.

“Sometimes we can get so caught up in what we think we need or want, that we don’t realize the multitude of blessings that we already have.”

Rose will bypass the traditional resolutions.

“I’d love to say that I’d exercise more or eat more vegetables, but I would just break those,” she said. “So, I am resolving to be more aware of

Betty Plunk, of Stantonville, Tenn., gets 2012 off to a good start by cooking some black-eyed peas for her family on Sunday. The first day of January also had many individuals committing to bettering things in their life during the year with resolutions. and thankful for everything in my life, starting today: Family, friends, health — these are all things that I am exceedingly grateful for.”

Simple things For others it’s a time to value the simple things.

“This year, my New Year’s resolution is to simply enjoy where I am right now,” said Boys & Girls Club Unite Director Christy Grice. “I am surrounded by people who really care about each other and their communities.”

Grice is also striving to make a difference to others.

“I want to really focus on the important things in life like, enjoy people, make meaningful connections, take time for others, work hard, help out and be kind,” she said. “I want to pause to see the beauty all around, have a positive attitude and be thankful for all of the good things in life.”

Grice, who was named unit director in the summer, says

everyone improves when they make goals to help others.

“The more I make the effort to do these things, the better director I am, and the better person I am,” she said. “I want to thank the good people of Corinth, for giving me an opportunity to serve you. It is my greatest intent to help our members of the Boys and Girls Club excel and we’re getting there, one step at a time.”

Slowing down Some individuals just want to slow down during the new year.

“It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone and I’ve never been one to make resolutions for the new year. However, the older I get, it seems that time passes much faster and that my two sons are growing before my very eyes,” said Mississippi Alliance of Boys and Girls Clubs Executive Director Thomas Norman. “So, I would say that my ‘resolution’ would be to try to slow down from the hectic daily schedules

of life, worry less about things that I have no control over, spend more quality time with my family and enjoy the blessings of life.”

Jaylene Whitehurst isn’t wild about making resolutions either.

“I don’t make New Year’s resolutions as the year changes.” said the professional counselor and artist. “I just keep doing what I do year around, reflect on my life, set on-going intentions to be open-hearted and creative, and express gratitude for the abundance I experience.

I trust that everyday process to carry me through another year.

So far, it works.”

Making resolutions or keeping them isn’t a strong area for Lisha Hopper.

“I’m not very good at that, but I am all into hope,” she said. “I have the standard hopes — I hope the economy improves and our elected officials use the resources we do have wisely.

I have the world peace hopes — that our armed forces and families are safe whereever they

are and that peace would truly come and people everywhere would receive the blessings we, as Americans, have.”

Hopper’s biggest dream is be more aware of the benefits of life.

“I have the selfish hope that I am always able to see the blessings the Lord gives us,” said Hopper. “Our seventh grandchild arrived on Christmas Eve, making the hurried holidays even more hectic, but even more special. With each birth and each new smile, I realize how truly blessed our family is and I have the personal hope that those blessings will continue and we are all here this time next year to share in those blessings.”

Getting healthy The traditional resolutions of losing weight and getting healthier are still around.

“My resolution is to eat healthier and walk more,” said Please see RESOLUTIONS | 2

Achievement gap threatens city, schools district’s future The Associated Press

TUPELO — White students in Tupelo score better than white students in most Mississippi school districts on state tests.

Black students in Tupelo lag far behind.

That discrepancy is a major reason that a school system once considered among the finest in Mississippi is now ranked in the middle of the state. Addressing it quickly is critical for the city and school district to maintain their historic success. “It is tremendously important to the future of this community,� said Jack Reed Sr., longtime community leader and education advocate. “There is no underestimating that.�

The “achievement gap� is not unique to Tupelo.

School districts across the state and the nation face discrepancies in test scores between students of different racial and economic subgroups.

Demographic changes in Tupelo make addressing its local gap as critical as it has ever been in the city’s and the school district’s history.

When Tupelo’s schools were integrated in 1970, about 80 percent of the district’s students were white.

Today, those schools are about 44 percent white, 50 percent black and 6 percent other minorities.

Furthermore, analysis of the city’s demographics indicates Tupelo’s next generation is a racially balanced mixture. Seventy-three percent of Tupelo school district residents over age 30 are white.

That drops to 54 percent for those under 30.

“Schools won’t be successful, the community won’t be successful and economic development won’t be successful.

The system is not going to be successful if everyone is not wellserved.�

Billy Crews CREATE Foundation committee member It is becoming increasingly clear the city must successfully educate a demographic that will play such a large role in its future. “It is absolutely imperative that we do so,� said the Rev. Charles Penson. “The demographics of our community are changing at a more rapid pace in our schools. If we want to maintain the credibility and output of our schools, we have to address this issue.�

The Daily Journal analyzed scores from this spring’s Mississippi Curriculum Test, Second Edition, the standardized test taken by all third- to eighth-grade students in the state. The newspaper averaged the scores of the 12 tests taken in every school district — English and math for each of the six grades — and broke down the results by race and by economics. The average is slightly skewed because it assumes that exactly the same number of students took the test in every grade.

In Tupelo, 74.5 percent of white students scored at least proficient, a level educators recognize as performing well on the test. That percentage ranks in the top 30 of 150 school districts in

the state for test scores by white students.

Meanwhile, 39 percent of the district’s black students scored proficient, a total that ranks in the bottom 40 for black students in the 150 districts. The 35.5 percentage point gap between the two groups was the fourth largest in the state.

The economic gap was not much different.

Seventy-five percent of students who don’t live in poverty scored proficient, but only 39 percent of those receiving federal school meal subsidies reached that mark. “We are now becoming aware that if everyone is not well-served, we won’t be successful as a whole,� said Billy Crews, longtime education advocate and a member of a committee recently formed by the CREATE Foundation to study the achievement gap in Northeast Mississippi. “Schools won’t be successful, the community won’t be successful and economic development won’t be successful. The system is not going to be successful if everyone is not well-served.�

Closing the achievement gap doesn’t mean moving both higher- and lower-performing stu-

dents into the middle, education experts say.

Instead, it means studying systems, supports and community involvement to find ways to better reach lower-scoring demographics, and pushing everyone to score higher.

Tupelo School Board Vice President Eddie Prather, a former school superintendent and cochairman of the CREATE committee studying the achievement gap, said the key is actually raising standards for all students. “If you have high standards for high-performing students, students on the bottom will go up,�

Prather said. “And if you have high standards for lower-performing students, students on the top will go up. “Some people think you may be talking about lowering rigor, but I really think it is the opposite.�

Although the issue involves schools and students, possible solutions are much broader, those interviewed said. “I think it is a community problem and not just a school problem,� said Claude Hartley, a former Tupelo school board member and current member of the state Board of Education. “It has to become a priority for the community and not just the school.�

Tupelo has long been a community that has prided itself on having a strong public school system with widespread community support.

That support is now at a crossroads, and is also critically needed, as the system faces the challenge of successfully educating both black and white students.

Prosecutor Stanton targeting gangs

BY ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — In his 17 months as U.S. attorney for West Tennessee, lifelong Memphian Edward Stanton has taken a tough stance against sex traffickers and drug rings, while also showing a willingness to get personally involved in the region’s most serious cases.

Now, he plans to take on Memphis’ gangs.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Stanton said his office was working on forming a federal unit to fight gangs, to go along with an existing task force on organized crime and drug traffickers. The new gang unit will involve law enforcement agencies from the local, state and federal level and should be up and running in 2012, he said.

Like other U.S., cities, Memphis has its share of organized gangs who deal drugs and commit acts of violence, and Stanton says he will try to eradicate them from the city and the region.

An official announcement of the gang unit’s formation is expected later this year, Stanton said. “Purposefully, we have been relatively quiet about our efforts because we want to make sure that once it rolls out, that it’s effective as well as efficient,�

Stanton said in an interview last week. “Until we don’t have a gang problem at all, we will continue to be very aggressive.�

Stanton was born and raised in Memphis, attending the city’s public schools and the Uni-

versity of Memphis’ law school. As a youngster, he worked at the ice cream shop and gift store across the street from the Graceland mansion, the longtime home of Elvis Presley.

A former litigator for Memphis-based FedEx Corp., Stanton was nominated to be U.S. Attorney by President Barack Obama. The U.S. Senate confirmed the nomination in August 2010. Since then Stanton has occupied a corner office on the eighth floor of Memphis’ federal building. “Things are going well,� Stanton said. “It’s never the same day, there’s always something new every day on this job. They’re going very quickly, I can tell you that.�

The pace is not likely to slow down for Stanton. One of the first challenges for Stanton and his team of prosecutors will be the trial of the two remaining defendants accused of being part of a drug ring led by Craig Petties that moved narcotics from Mexico into several U.S. states.

Petties has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing on several charges, including racketeering and four murders-for-hire.

A handful of other men charged with being drug ring members also have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.

Two remaining defendants, Martin Lewis and Clinton Lewis, are set to stand trial starting Jan. 17. The case is fraught with logistics issues, including security and a large number of witnesses.

Sonny Boatman, president, Corinth Artist Guild Gallery. “Instead of driving to the gallery, I’ll sometimes walk to the gallery.� “I am sure my New Years Resolution is the same as many others,� said Megan Burns with the Corinth Police Department. “I am vowing to eat healthier, lose 20 pounds and work out regularly to get in shape!

I continue to hear it is important to look how you desire when you turn 30 because it doesn’t get any easier.� “I want to walk a mile at least four times a week, getting back in touch with

friends I haven’t talked to in the last year and staying in touch,� added Crossroads Arena employee Lanell Coln. “Your health and good friends are important parts of our life.� “Health is very important and I resolve to make 2012 a year to work on improving my health in all aspects — physical, emotional, spiritual,� said Lee Ann Story Sikora, Crossroads Symphony Orchestra board president.

The desire to not get flustered and look to the future is the fancy of some. “My resolutions for the New Year are to have more patience with my little girl, Greenlee; play with her more; and work a little less,� said Mollie Virginia Ann Pace of the Crossroads Quickstop. “Also, to be a better friend to the ones that deserve it and stop always giving in to worries I can’t control and to call my mother more often.� “My New Year’s resolution is to let go of everything that is holding me back.

Program offers emotional support for storm victims The Associated Press

JACKSON, Tenn. — A program that offers emotional support for people affected by natural disasters — including severe storms and flooding in 2010 and 2011 — continues to offer aid.

The Tennessee Recovery Project is a nonprofit organization that has offices in Jackson, Nashville and Memphis.

Erin Bellinger, a crisis counselor and team leader in Jackson, says the services provided are confidential and free.

“Our main goal is to go in and see the individuals who were affected by storms and floods since May of 2010,” she said.

“We are working on helping victims of this year’s flood.”

She told The Jackson Sun that team leaders conducting interviews, presentations and public service announcements to find people who still need aid.

“A lot of people don’t want to admit that they are anxious during flash floods and tornado warn-

ings,” she said. “We want people to know that their emotions and reactions are completely normal.”

She said the program, which is in its second year, can assist people by providing emotional support and helping them locate resources they might need. “(Centers) are located across the state,” she said.

“We help people with their coping skills and check in on their emotional wellbeing. We allow someone to address their feelings.

Every little bit helps.”

Crisis counselor Nata-

lie Perry said a team of people from the Tennessee Recovery Project usually goes door-to-door in a community after a severe storm hits.

“In the helping relationship we try to deliver,” she said. “We want to help people understand their coping strategies and their options as far as receiving assistance. One of our major goals is to create a selfhelp group in the community. That way, people would be more organized and have a plan in the face of a disaster.”

Fondling counts against ex-bus driver grow The Associated Press

JACKSON — A 70-year-old former Clinton School District bus driver is facing charges that he fondled three girls.

The Clarion-Ledger reports that Shepard Ray Havens of Bolton initially faced charges involving one girl, but Hinds County Sheriff’s Department officials said two other girls have come forward.

Havens is scheduled to be arraigned in Hinds County Circuit Court Wednesday on six counts of gratification of lust and one count of sexual battery. Each count carries a maximum 15 years in prison upon conviction. Havens faces a maximum of 20 years to life on the sexu-

al battery charge.

Havens is out of jail on a $100,000 bond. It will be up to Circuit Judge Winston Kidd whether to allow Havens to remain free on the bond.

Four counts of gratification of lust and one count of sexual battery involve the same 10-year-old girl. He is also charged with one count each of gratification of lust involving two younger girls, according to his indictment.

Hinds County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jeffery Scott said at the time of Havens’ arrest that the investigation began after the first girl told her parents what Havens allegedly did and they contacted Clinton

police.

Havens, known to kids on his bus route as “Mr. Billy,” was arrested in late September. Officers allege Havens on multiple occasions sexually

Voters want growth, not income redistribution

BY MICHAEL BARONE “A 2008 election widely regarded as heralding a shift toward the more governmentfriendly public sentiment of the New Deal and Great Society eras seems to have yielded just the reverse.”

So writes William Galston, Brookings Institution scholar and deputy domestic adviser in the Clinton White House, in the New Republic. Galston, one of the smartest political and policy analysts around, has strong evidence for this conclusion.

He cites a recent Gallup poll showing that while 82 percent of Americans think it’s extremely or very important to “grow and expand the economy” and 70 percent say it’s similarly important to “increase equality of opportunity for people to get ahead,” only 46 percent say it’s important to “reduce the income and wealth gap between the rich and the poor,” and 54 percent say this is only somewhat or not important.

In addition, by a 52 to 45 percent margin, Americans see the gap between the rich and the poor as an acceptable part of the economic system rather than a problem that needs to be fixed.

As Galston notes, these findings suggest that Obama’s much-praised speech at Osawatomie, Kan., decrying inequality, “may well reduce his chances of prevailing in a close race.”

Class warfare politics, as I have noted, hasn’t produced a Democratic presidential victory in a long, long time.

Where Galston misses a step, I think, is that he seems to regard the move away from redistributionist politics in this time of economic stagnation as an anomaly in need of explanation. He seems to share the Obama Democrats’ assumption that economic distress would make Americans more supportive of, or amenable to, big government policies.

That is what we have all been taught by the great and widely read New Deal historians, and that lesson has been absorbed by generations of politicians and political pundits.

I believe that historians have taught the wrong lessons about the 1930s. And I believe there is a plausible and probably correct reason why economic distress has apparently moved Americans to be less rather than more supportive of big government.

To understand the lessons of the 1930s, you need to read the election returns. Franklin Roosevelt’s victory in 1932 was a massive rejection of Republicans across the board. Republicans lost huge ground in urban and rural areas, in the West and Midwest and most of the East.

In 1936, FDR won re-election by a slightly larger margin, but with a different coalition.

The rural and small town North returned to its long Republican allegiance, while Democrats made further big gains among immigrants and blue-collar workers.

The New Deal historians attributed these gains to Roosevelt’s economic redistribution measures: high tax rates on high earners, the pro-union Wagner Act, Social Security. These laws — the so-called Second New Deal — were passed in 1935. They replaced the different, non-redistributionist policies of the First New Deal that stopped the deflationary downward spiral underway when Roosevelt took office.

The problem with the historians’ claims is that the shifts in the electorate apparent in 1936 also are apparent in the 1934 off-year elections. Democrats won big that year, but compared to 1932, they lost ground in rural areas and small towns and gained much ground in big cities and factory towns.

So why should voters be leery of economic redistribution in times of economic distress?

Perhaps because they realize that they stand to gain much more from a vibrantly growing economy than from redistribution of a stagnant economic pie. A growing economy produces many unanticipated opportunities. Redistribution edges toward a zero-sum game.

Roosevelt’s 1934 and 1936 victories were won in periods of growth. After the economy shifted into recession in 1937, New Deal Democrats fared much worse, and Roosevelt won his third and fourth terms as a seasoned wartime leader, not an economic redistributor.

Lesson: If you want redistribution, you’d better first produce growth.

Which the Obama Democrats’ policies have failed to do.

New leaders to reshape Miss. Legislature JACKSON (AP) — The Mississippi House and Senate are getting fresh leadership teams in 2012, with new presiding officers who will reward their top allies with the most prestigious committee assignments.

The big question is whether the two Republican presiding officers will reach out to include Democrats in positions of responsibility.

The 122 members of the House and 52 members of the Senate are sworn in Tuesday, and one of the first orders of business in the House is choosing a speaker.

Republicans will hold the House majority for the first time since Reconstruction, and during a meeting in November, GOP members informally chose Philip Gunn of Clinton as their choice for the chamber’s top job. Gunn, an attorney, is entering his third term in the House from a district that takes in parts of Hinds, Madison, Warren and Yazoo counties.

If he’s elected speaker, Gunn would take the gavel from Billy McCoy of Rienzi, a populist Democrat who’s

held the position the past two terms and opted not to seek re-election to the House Emily this time.

Wagster Republicans Pettus u n s u c c e s s fully tried to Capitol Dome oust McCoy as speaker in 2008, and he cut them out of all committee chairmanships.

Committee assignments are crucial because chairman have great influence over which bills live or die.

Some Democrats say publicly that they’ll vote for Gunn for speaker. Among them is Rep. George Flaggs of Vicksburg, who was one of McCoy’s top allies.

“The people who elected me, elected me to go over there and do what’s best for the state of Mississippi,” Flaggs said. “I have said publicly any number of times that I plan to work with the Republicans just like I worked with the Democrats.

I’m a team player.”

Republican Rep. Greg

Snowden of Meridian, long seen as one of the more analytical members of the House, said he’s looking forward to being in the majority party. He said he’s confident Gunn will work with a broad cross-section of lawmakers.

“One thing about Philip Gunn — he is truly a very humble person,” Snowden said.

Gunn said that during pre-session meetings with his colleagues, he has sought support from all. “We need to bring this thing together,” he said.

Gunn said he doesn’t know how much freedom he’ll give committee chairman to singlehandedly decide the fate of bills. He also said he doesn’t know whether Republicans will try to form a united front behind closed doors before issues are debated in the entire House.

“I just want to be fair,” Gunn said. “I want to follow the rules, and I want to have decorum.”

Tate Reeves, who has been state treasurer the past eight years, won the Republican primary for lieutenant gov-

ernor this past August and had no Democratic opponent in the Nov. 8 general election. He’ll be sworn in Thursday, and a spokeswoman said he will announce the Senate committee assignments Friday.

Reeves spent several weeks meeting privately with new and returning senators to ask about their interests.

Sen. Willie Simmons, D-Cleveland, said he’s optimistic Reeves will try to work with a broad range of people.

“He did say to us that he wanted to be inclusive from a regional point of view, party, as well as male-female and race,” said Simmons, who has served since January 1993.

Republican Sen. Joey Fillingane of Sumrall was chairman of one of the most powerful committees, Judiciary A, the past four years.

He supported Reeves in the 2011 election, but said he has no inside information about how the committee assignments will shake out.

“I’m happy to serve wherever,” Fillingane said.

The Justice Department’s identity problem Is there, or should there ever be, a point when a state is no longer penalized for its discriminatory past?

Not according to the Department of Justice, which Friday, Dec. 23 rejected a South Carolina law that would have required voters show a valid photo ID before casting their ballots.

Justice says the law discriminates against minorities. The Obama administration said, “South Carolina’s law didn’t meet the burden under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlawed discriminatory practices preventing blacks from voting.” Why South Carolina?

Because, the Justice Department contends, it’s tasked with approving voting changes in states that have failed in the past to protect the rights of blacks.

Are they serious?

There are two African Americans representing South Carolina in the U.S. House of Representatives, One is Tim Scott, a freshman Republican. The other is 10term Rep. James Clyburn, the current assistant Democratic leader. There are numerous minority members of the S.C. state legislature and Governor Nikki Haley who is Indian-American.

This is not your grandfather’s South Carolina. This is not the South Carolina of

the then-segregationist and Dixiecrat presidential candidate Strom Thurmond. YesCal t e r d a y ’ s Thomas South Carolina had segreColumnist gated schools, lunch counters, restrooms and buses and a dominant Democratic Party. Today’s South Carolina is a modern, integrated, forward-looking, dual-party state.

If Justice thinks proving who one is by showing valid photo ID discriminates against minorities, how does it explain the election of so many minority legislators?

Are only whites voting for them?

Democrats, especially, should be sensitive to states and people who have demonstrated that they have changed. It was the Democratic Party of the late 19th century that resisted integration throughout the South, passing Jim Crow laws that frustrated blacks who wanted to vote. Those were Southern Democrats who stood in schoolhouse doors, barring blacks from entering. Today, many members of that same party refuse to allow poor minority students to leave failing

government schools as part of the school voucher system because they, apparently, value political contributions from teachers unions more than they value educational achievement.

The South Carolina law that offends the Justice Department anticipated objections that some poor minorities might not have driver’s licenses (and certainly not a passport) because they might not own cars. So the state will provide free voter ID cards with a picture of the voter on it. All someone has to do is prove who they claim to be. A birth certificate will do nicely. A utility bill can be used to prove residency.

Not requiring a voter to prove his or her citizenship and residence is a recipe for voter fraud. Democrats like to accuse Republicans of trying to keep minorities from voting because they know most will vote for Democrats.

Even if that were true (and it’s debatable) the reverse is probably truer. Some Democrats have allegedly encouraged people to vote who were not eligible, some more than once. Without a valid ID, how can we stop this?

The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law has compiled a list of new voter identification laws passed this year. In addition to the

one in South Carolina, all require some form of photo identification. Will Justice go after all of them, as well?

According to the Brennan Center, a new law in Kansas, effective Jan. 1, 2012, requires a photo ID, with certain exceptions such as a physical disability that makes it impossible for the person to travel to a government office to acquire one, though they must have “qualified for permanent advance voting status...”

A new Texas law, which took effect on Sept. 1, requires a photo ID in order to vote, or another form of personal ID card issued by the Department of Public Safety.

Even historically liberal Wisconsin passed a new law this year requiring voters to prove who they are, in most cases with a photo ID. Governor Haley and South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson vow to fight the Justice Department ruling. They should. Photo IDs are required when flying on commercial aircraft or cashing a check. That discriminates against no one. Neither does requiring people to prove who they are before voting, unless, of course, there’s another agenda, like “stuffing” the ballot box.

Local Judge sets settlement deadline in McAllister suit

BY HOLBROOK MOHR The Associated Press

JACKSON — A federal judge has set a deadline for settlement negotiations in a lawsuit between Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp. and Deuce McAllister related to a car dealership the former New Orleans Saints star owned in Mississippi.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Linda R. Anderson set a telephone conference for Jan. 5 and said discovery will resume immediately if a settlement hasn’t been reached.

NMAC sued McAllister and Deuce McAllister Motors LLC in October 2009 in U.S. District Court in Jackson for more than $1.5 million, alleging the dealership defaulted on payments and exceeded credit limits.

In a counter claim, McAllister said Nissan knew he “was a young professional athlete inexperienced in the motor vehicle sales business” and did little to help his dealership succeed.

“We’re just trying to get it worked out. Everyone’s

trying to get it worked out,” McAllister attorney Joe Roberts said of the settlement talks. He declined to comment further, saying that could be counterproductive to the ongoing discussions.

An attorney for NMAC, Chad Hammons, didn’t immediately respond to a message. NMAC spokesman Fred Standish has told The Associated Press the company doesn’t comment on litigation.

McAllister was a football star at the University of Mississippi and spent

Wild hogs make a mess in park The Associated Press

VICKSBURG — Wild hogs are making a mess in the Vicksburg National Military Park.

Since a mass migration of hogs, alligators, coyotes and other wildlife moved down the Mississippi River as it reached record flood marks in May, wild hogs have made the northern third of the 1,800-acre park their rooting grounds, according to The Vicksburg Post.

“We’ve removed 11 so far since mid-October,” said Mike Madell, the park’s superintendent.

“And we’ve just sighted the group of seven. It’s definitely a problem.”

The park has enlisted the help of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to trap and shoot the nuisance animals to head off any

movement south or east where they could cross paths with joggers on the tour road.

“We can’t transport them live,” said Virginia DuBowy, the park’s natural resources manager.

“So, we do it in a humane way.”

Wild swine weigh up to about 200 pounds and can be aggressive, usually around piglets.

They may be hunted in Mississippi year-round without firearm restrictions. Concealed weapons may be carried in the park, but must remain inside one’s vehicle, said Rick Martin, the park’s chief of operations.

Wild boars spotted at Riverfront Park in Vicksburg forced the city to close the park for nearly two days in the week leading up to the river’s record 57.1-foot crest May 19.

Park officials saw an initial wave of hogs as the river rose and fell slowly. Some were believed to be the last of a group that had escaped from farmland near the park about two years ago, DuBowy said.

“The food source for them is tremendous, with the grubs and plants,” she said.

“They’ve got a lot of water and a lot of cover. It’s hard to get to — but the pigs don’t seem to have a problem with it. It’s an inviting place for them.”

Extensive crossbreeding has varied the appearance of wild boars, in terms of shape and coat color, according to a report issued by USDA in August. The agency says estimates of the U.S. feral pig population in 2010 reached 5 million over 37 states, up from 16 states in 1982.

eight seasons as one of the Saints’ most popular players. He has invested heavily in his native Mississippi, including the Nissan business, a luxury car dealership and high-end real estate. McAllister also had a used-car business when he opened the Nissan store.

Deuce McAllister Nissan of Jackson ran into financial trouble. NMAC said in court records that it found problems with the dealership during its 2008 audit, then sent a monitor there and reinstated its credit. But, the lawsuit

said, the dealership continued to sell cars and not pay NMAC back and the debts grew.

The dealership operated in Chapter 11 for a time and agreed to liquidate its remaining assets through Chapter 7 bankruptcy in May. NMAC sued McAllister in U.S. District Court in Jackson, claiming the dealership defaulted on hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments in 2008 and exceeded its credit limits even more.

In his counter claim,

McAllister said that rather than helping, NMAC withheld information that the dealership wouldn’t be profitable in the area and neglected to warn him that one of his partners had done business with a Nissan-related dealership before and “was unsuitable for the management position.” As a result of the failed business, McAllister’s counterclaim says he lost money and “incurred damage to his business relationships and reputation, and has suffered mental anguish and anxiety.”

Starkville football player shot and killed The Associated Press

WEST POINT — Police say a 16-year-old Starkville High School football player was shot and killed by a 31-yearold man early Sunday morning.

The Commercial Dispatch reports that Devin Mitchell, a junior, was shot and killed at about 2:55 a.m.

Mitchell was taken to the North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo where he died, according to West Point Police Chief Tim Brinkley.

Police arrested Tavaris F. Collins and charged him with murder. Brinkley said a motive was still under investigation.

Mitchell was a member of the Starkville High football team that reached the Class 5A state title game this season. Mitchell, a tight

end and linebacker, led Starkville with 34 catches for 772 yards and 10 touchdowns.

“It is such a tragedy,” said Stan Miller, Starkville High athletics director. “He was a straight A-B student, a churchgoer, a fine young man ... I’m just sick. I’m torn up.”

Starkville School District Interim Superintendent Beth Sewell called Mitchell “a student of

great promise” and his death “a grievous loss to the Yellowjacket family.”

Polar Bear Club head makes 60th icy plunge The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Polar Bear Club president who made his 60th annual New Year’s Day plunge into Lake Michigan says it may not have been his last.

Eighty-two-year-old Garth Gaskey previously

said he was quitting because of his age, the four stents in his heart and his daughter was unhappy about it.

But on Sunday the retired Brookfield maintenance man told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he wasn’t sure about next year.

He jumped in with his granddaughter and great-granddaughter at Bradford Beach in Milwaukee.

His daughter, Cathy Mayer, was at the event, too, and had a different story. She says they are taking him to Arizona next year.

Authorities probe fire attacks on 4 NYC sites

BY VERENA DOBNIK AND COLLEEN LONG The Associated Press

NEW YORK — While members of an Islamic cultural center gathered for a Sunday evening dinner, a Molotov cocktail hurled by an unknown assailant and made from a Starbucks bottle burst and shattered against the center’s main entrance.

Another was thrown at the sign for the center’s school.

It was one of a string of suspected arson attacks that police were investigating on Monday as possible bias crimes and trying to determine whether the incidents were linked. No arrests have been made.

Structural damage to the Imam Al-Khoei Foundation was minimal, but some members of the center were emotionally shaken, the assistant imam said. About 80 worshippers were there when the firebomb was set off at 8:44 p.m., the third in the series of suspected arson attacks in Queens on Sunday night.

“We were very surprised,” assistant Imam Maan Al-Sahlani said.

“This has never happened here before.”

The decades-old foundation is among the foremost Muslim institutions in New York, with

branches around the world, he said. Named for one of the most influential Shiite scholars, it promotes work in development, human rights and minority rights as a general consultant to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

The center also has a full, accredited school that resumes Tuesday after holiday break, and some parents were concerned about the attack, Al-Sahlani said. The sprawling complex has two minarets rising high with the Van Wyck Expressway as a backdrop.

On Monday, the concrete overhang outside the main entrance was blackened from smoke damage and there was minor damage to the area near the sign, as yellow police tape fluttered.

But Al-Sahlani, 36, dressed in traditional clerics’ robes, said the center was working with authorities and trying to move forward. Worshippers prayed and milled around, and the front doors were wide open.

“This is America,” he said. “And we must continue to love one another.”

Other targeted locations were more substantially damaged. No one was injured in the four attacks. Police said

at least three Molotov cocktails were thrown, though some did not explode.

The first hit at 8 p.m., when a bottle was thrown at a counter at a corner store known as a bodega.

Ten minutes later, a nearby house was damaged in a fire that erupted when a possible firebomb smashed through glass; it took 65 firefighters 40 minutes to bring the blaze under control, authorities said. The home was badly damaged.

At 8:44 p.m., the Islamic center was targeted.

And at 10:14 p.m., two bottles were thrown — but did not explode — at a house police said was used for Hindu worship services.

Police said possible suspects were believed to have fled the scenes of the third and fourth attacks. They were looking at surveillance video obtained from the bodega and the attack on one of the houses.

Meanwhile, political leaders spoke out against the incidents. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said New York Police Department hate crimes unit detectives were working with precinct detectives and looking into whether there were any connections to incidents outside the city.

Arab League says Syria withdrew tanks from cities

BY HAMZA HENDAWI The Associated Press

CAIRO — Syria’s government has withdrawn heavy weapons from inside cities and freed about 3,500 prisoners but security forces continue to kill protesters even with foreign monitors in the country, the Arab League chief said Monday.

Nabil Elaraby said pro-regime snipers also continue to operate in Syria and he demanded a complete cease-fire.

But despite the regime’s ongoing crackdown, he listed the achievements

of the Arab League monitors since they began work.

The monitors are supposed to verify Syria’s compliance with an Arab League plan to stop the 9-month-old crackdown on dissent. President Bashar Assad agreed to the plan on Dec. 19. But since the Arab League monitors began work last Tuesday, activists say government forces have killed more than 150 people, the vast majority of them unarmed, peaceful protesters.

“Yes, there is still shooting and yes there

HAPPY NEW YEAR Since we are in the beginning of a new year, well wishes for a Happy New Year are in order. All of us desire a happy and prosperous new year, but many will be disappointed because to them this year will be one of unhappiness and failures. Did it ever occur to you that this will be a Happy New Year for you only if you make it so? If one wants good health, happiness and success he must plan for these things, then work the plans - carry out his good intentions or decisions.

The following are some suggestions, which, if followed, will make this a happy and successful year for you: 1. Forget the past and look ahead. Phil. 3:12-15, Paul could have looked back to much persecution, imprisonment and many hardships and filled his thoughts with self-pity. Or he could have lived in the glory of his past achievements. But he could not waste his time living in the past. He said, “...this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

Looking back to some insult or offense, or some past accomplishment and trying to live in the past renders one unfit for the Lord’s kingdom. Lk 9:62,Those who try to do this will end the new year in a failure.

2. Try to maintain the best physical and mental health possible. John prayed that others might enjoy good health. 3 Jno. 2. Paul speaks of the power of a sound mind. 2 Tim. 1:7. Jesus set an example of physical and mental development. Lk. 2:52. The number of neurotics is increasing at an alarming rate, and most of these are to be blamed for their condition.

They simply neglect the laws of mental and physical health. A neurotic will not have a Happy New Year.

3. Strive to know more about yourself. Jas. 1:21-25; 2 Cor. 3:17.

Socrates said, “know thyself.” The more we know about ourselves the more able we are to handle our problems. Frequent self-examination will reveal to us our weaknesses and abilities, as well as our limitations. This will help us to improve our lives, and thus, be happier.

4. Plan to be contented and more adjusted to situations. Phil. 4:1112; 1 Tim. 6:6-8. Accept your lot and strive to do the best you can with your opportunities and abilities.

5. Determine to get along with others. Rom 12:18; 1 Pet. 3:10. Respect the opinions of others. If you disagree, try to do so without becoming “disagreeable.” Make an honest effort to cultivate friendship.

6. Determine to succeed. In this “space age” a pessimist or defeatist is a misfit. Plan your course for the year. Set your goal in life and determine to reach it. Simply tackle your duty and the task before you and succeed.

“Nothing succeeds like success.” Most of all, plan a deeply religious course - plan to be a faithful child of God and determine to succeed. 2 Tim. 4:7-8; Rev. 2:10. This is ‘the greatest of all achievements.

7. Plan to live each day as if it would be your last day upon earth. (It could be) Jas 4:13-15; Matt. 24:44. In the final analysis, true happiness and success can be enjoyed only by those who are saved, (Acts 8:36-39; 16:30-34), by those who place spiritual things above the material things, who put Christ and His kingdom first. Mat. 6:33.

are still snipers,” Elaraby told a news conference in Cairo, where the Arab League is based.

“Yes, killings continue.

The objective is for us to wake up in the morning and hear that no one is killed. The mission’s philosophy is to protect civilians, so if one is killed, then our mission is incomplete.”

“There must be a complete cease-fire,” Elaraby said.

But he also said tanks and artillery have been pulled out from cities and residential neighborhood, food supplies reached residents and bodies of dead protesters recovered.

Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Britishbased activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, confirmed that tanks had withdrawn from Syrian cities. But he said residents reported that the weapons were still a threat.

“They can bring the tanks back and use them to fight,” Abdul-Rahman told The Associated Press.

Elaraby did not say when the heavy weapons pulled out of cities, but Abdul-Rahman said it was on Thursday.

The Arab League plan requires Assad’s regime to remove security forces and heavy weapons from city streets, start talks with opposition leaders, free political prisoners and allow human rights workers and journalists into the country.

Elaraby said Syria has objected to the admission into Syria of three unidentified television networks and that he has been told by the Damascus government that it has issued visas for a total of 150 media outlets. There was no independent confirmation of this.

Already, Syrian opposition groups and a panArab group, the Arab Parliament, have been deeply critical of the mission, saying it is simply giving Assad cover for his crackdown.

ORLANDO, Fla. — South Carolina’s season was marred by the dismissal of its starting quarterback, the loss of its star running back to injury and an NCAA investigation for improper benefits.

Still, despite it all, the 11th-ranked Gamecocks won more games than any team in South Carolina history.

“This is for all fans of South Carolina — always,” coach Steve Spurrier belted out during the postgame celebration.

Alshon Jeffery caught four passes for 148 yards and a touchdown before getting ejected for fighting, and the Gamecocks set a school-record for victories in a 30-13 victory against Nebraska at the Capital One Bowl on Monday.

The Gamecocks (11-2) also snapped a string of three straight bowl losses.

Spurrier said they will have rings “with a big ‘ole 11 on them” made for the team to commemorate the milestone.

Connor Shaw, who took over at quarterback when senior Stephen Garcia was kicked off the team, came up big, passing for two scores and rushing for another in one of his best games. He finished 11 for 17 for 230 yards and ran for 42 yards.

“We didn’t play all that great at times,

Capital One Bowl and Nebraska didn’t play all that great either,” Spurrier said. “But we made some good stops here and there... We won the fourth quarter today against them and our defense was sensational.

“The record speaks for itself as the best team ever.”

Jeffery was having a surprisingly productive day playing just weeks after surgery on his hand for an injury he sustained in the regular-season finale.

He was called for a personal foul penalty and ejected with just over two minutes left in the third quarter along with Cornhuskers cornerback Alfonso Dennard when both were caught throwing punches at each other after a play.

“Getting ejected, that is something that happened in the moment,” Jeffery said.

He said winning 11 games became the mission for the Gamecocks all season.

“Coach Spurrier, in the beginning of season six and in camp he wrote the goal’s try to win 11 games and try do things we did the first time. So that’s what we tried to do.”

The Gamecocks kept the pressure on even without Jeffery and went up 23-13 with 12:25 to play on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Shaw to Kenny Miles.

Miles then added a 3-yard touchdown run with just over three minutes left — his first of the season — to put the game out of reach.

Miles was thrust into the starting role in October when sophomore running back Marcus Lattimore was lost for the season after tearing a ligament and sustaining cartilage damage in his left knee.

“It means that no matter what we’ll always be in the record book as the best team at South Carolina,” Miles said.

Nebraska (9-4) lost its second consecutive bowl game and drops to 12-6 all-time in bowl matchups against SEC foes.

“I’m proud of the season we had,” Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said of a year that also included the Cornhuskers moving to the Big Ten. “Obviously we didn’t finish the way we wanted. It doesn’t take away from where we are, where we’re going or what we accomplished.

Florida avoids first losing record since ’79 The Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Florida’s Jaye Howard timed the snap perfectly, blew through two defenders and violently slammed Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller to the ground.

“I had a lot of frustrations, man,” Howard said.

“Urban brought it out in me today.”

Urban Meyer’s future team got a good look at his former team, and the Buckeyes learned just how fast the Gators can be.

Florida’s defense and special teams came up big in the Gator Bowl, recording six sacks and scoring twice as the Gators beat Ohio

Gator Bowl State 24-17 on Monday.

Andre Debose returned a kickoff 99 yards — the longest scoring play in bowl history — and Chris Rainey blocked a punt that was returned for a touchdown.

The speedsters helped the Gators (7-6) avoid their first losing season since 1979 and pick up some muchneeded momentum after losing six of their previous eight games.

“We don’t want to be remembered as the team that lost, so it was a big game for us,” Howard said. “Not only for the seniors, but the pro-

gram as a whole. It’s a building block for next year.”

Ohio State (6-7) dropped four straight to finish below .500 for the first time since 1988, and lost seven games for the first time since 1897.

The Buckeyes can take solace in knowing that Meyer, who officially takes over for interim coach Luke Fickell at Ohio State this week, will make it a priority to improve special teams.

Meyer did that in his six seasons in Gainesville, and Rainey and Debose were two of his most prized recruits.

“When you have two good teams play each other, it’s usually special teams that will make the difference,” Ohio State defensive back Tyler Moeller said. “That’s what it was today.”

Ohio State fell to 0-10 in bowl games against teams from the Southeastern Conference. Yes, the Buckeyes beat Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl last year. But that victory was vacated as part of NCAA sanctions.

The latest loss had everything to do with Florida’s speed.

Outback Bowl

Michigan State completes rally in 3 OTs The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla.— Kirk Cousins gave Michigan State a parting gift — its first bowl win in more than a decade.

Cousins threw for 300 yards and led a late rally to tie it, then Dan Conroy kicked a 28-yard field goal in the third overtime that lifted the 12th-ranked Spartans over No. 18 Georgia 3330 Monday in the Outback Bowl.

Georgia’s Blair Walsh became the Southeastern Conference’s career scoring leader with a field goal in the second extra period.

But he missed a 42-yarder in the first overtime after conservative play-calling and had a 47-yard attempt blocked on the final play of the game.

Michigan State (11-3) ended a five-game bowl losing streak with its first postseason win since beating Fresno State in the 2001 Silicon Valley Bowl. The Spartans overcame a 16-0 halftime deficit and scored the tying touchdown with 14 seconds left in regulation.

The Spartans handed the Big Ten its lone win in three bowl matchups Monday

against SEC opponents — Florida beat Ohio State and South Carolina stopped Nebraska.

Georgia (10-4) finished on a two-game losing streak, including a lopsided loss to top-ranked LSU in the SEC championship game.

Cousins led a 10-play, 85yard drive without the aid of any timeouts to wipe out a 27-20 deficit on Le’Veon Bell’s second touchdown of the game in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter.

Cousins threw a 7-yard TD pass to Keith Nichol midway through the period and

finished the day as Michigan State’s career passing and total offense leader.

Cousins was intercepted in the first overtime, giving the ball to Georgia. After the Bulldogs had a short run on their first play in overtime, coach Mark Richt elected to simply center the ball for a field goal try on third down, and Walsh’s kick was wide.

Scoreboard

GAMECOCKS: Hail Mary gives lead CONTINUED FROM 8

having been plagued by turnovers in its previous three losses. Pelini pointed to missed opportunities — which included going 1 for 3 in the red zone — as the culprit Monday.

“I’ll say it straight out — our football team, even after the game felt we were a better football team than them,” Pelini said. “But you’ve got to get out and earn it. It’s a humbling game.

You give them credit.

They made plays...We’re a pretty good team, too, but we didn’t execute at the times we needed to do it.”

Rex Burkhead kept Nebraska in the game with 89 yards rushing, but South Carolina sacked Taylor Martinez six times.

“We got in the red zone plenty of times and couldn’t finish it,” he said. “It’s is tough when you have no minimum like that and just don’t execute...We beat ourselves in a lot of phases of the game.”

Jeffery out-jumped the Nebraska secondary in

the end zone to catch a 51-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass from Shaw at the end of the first half to send the Gamecocks into the locker room with a 16-13 lead.

Shaw passed for 161 yards in the half, hooking up with Jeffery on four of his five completions.

It helped pick up the slack for a stagnant South Carolina rushing attack, which produced just 58 yards on 21 attempts in the first half and only 121 yards on 40 carries for the game.

It also made up for an offensive line that allowed Shaw to be sacked four times on Monday, including three in the first half.

Heading into the offseason Spurrier said he’s excited about what he has to work with going forward.

“We’re different than maybe year’s past and to finish in the top ten and all that kind of stuff...

Gee, if you got a bunch of guys playing like that, you can win against anybody,” he said. “Got a lot of them coming back and we’re going to try to have a big year next year.”

FLORIDA: Gators finish 7-6 CONTINUED FROM 8

the defensive line of scrimmage. They had a season-high six sacks, harassing Braxton Miller on nearly every passing play. Howard and Sharrif Floyd were disruptive all afternoon.

Florida had similar success the last time it played Ohio State. The Gators were dominant on defense in a 41-14 win in the 2007 Bowl Championship Series national title game in Glendale, Ariz. Meyer was coaching Florida that night.

Debose and Rainey proved to be the difference in the much-hyped rematch that centered around Meyer.

Just after Ohio State tied the game at 7 on Miller’s 5-yard pass to DeVier Posey in the second quarter, Debose took the kickoff, made one cut to the outside and went untouched for his third career kickoff return for a touchdown.

The Buckeyes never got close enough to even swipe at him, let alone make the tackle.

“It meant a lot to me,” Debose said. “I just tried to do anything that I can do to help the team. ...

There is no feeling like it.”

Florida was up 14-10 at halftime and essentially put the game out of reach on the opening possession of the third.

Rainey came off the left end and blocked Ben Buchanan’s punt.

Seldom-used linebacker Graham Stewart scooped it up at the 14yard line and scored the first touchdown of his career.

It was Rainey’s sixth blocked punt of his career, breaking the school and SEC record.

Rainey also ran for 71 yards on a warm and sunny day in Jackson-

ville. John Brantley completed 12 of 16 passes for 132 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. He had a 17-yard strike to Deonte Thompson in the first.

Ohio State wasn’t nearly as effective.

Miller completed 18 of 23 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns.

He also ran 15 times for 20 yards. He completed an 11-yard TD pass to Jordan Hall with 57 seconds remaining.

The Buckeyes failed to recover an onside kick, and Florida ran out the clock for its sixth bowl victory in the last seven years, including four in a row.

Players doused Muschamp with ice water in the final seconds, but the coach later made it clear his team still has strides to make to get back to national prominence.

“The realization of this whole thing, if you want to see big pictures, in the last two years at the University of Florida, we’re 15-11, that’s unacceptable,” Muschamp said.

“That’s what we are. ...

We’re one game (better than) last year. Sometimes I think you’ve got to put your realistic glasses on (to see) where you are as a program right at this point.

“It’s not where we’re going to be very long. I can assure you of that.

Moving in the right direction.”

Ohio State has building blocks, too. Miller, a freshman, gives Meyer an experienced and improving quarterback for next season even though the Buckeyes won’t be bowl eligible.

“This whole season was a learning process,” Miller said. “I learned as the season went on.

I could have played better. I’m anxious to get going for next year.”

MICHIGAN: Aaron Murray throws for 288 yards and one touchdown for Georgia CONTINUED FROM 8

Boykin. The Bulldogs cornerback scored a safety, returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown and caught a 13yard TD pass that helped the Bulldogs take a late lead that one of the nation’s stingiest defense couldn’t protect down the stretch.

Aaron Murray threw for 288 yards and one touchdown for Georgia.

He threw an 80-yard scoring pass to Tavarres King, who had six receptions for 205 yards.

Both teams entered the game coming off losses in their conference championship games.

The Bulldogs began their year with losses to Boise State and South Carolina before rebounding to win the final

10 games of the regular season. Georgia led topranked LSU early in the SEC title game before being dominated over the last three quarters to lose a shot at a spot in a Bowl Championship Series game.

Michigan State was impressive, too, in recovering from an early-season loss to Notre Dame to finish with at least 10 wins in consecutive seasons for the first time in the program’s 115-year history. Cousins leaves as the winningest quarterback in school history with 27, and 37 wins for the Spartans’ outgoing senior class is a school record, too.

Boykin tackled Keshawn Martin in the end zone for a safety on Michigan State’s first offensive play, converging

on the receiver at almost the same time as Cousins’ side screen. The 2-0 lead stood for Georgia until Murray made his long TD throw to King, who settled under the perfectly thrown pass at the Spartans 25 and never broke stride to get into the end zone.

Less than two minutes later, Boykin brought Georgia fans to their feet when he settled under Mike Sadler’s punt at his own 8-yard line and retreated to the 5 before cutting back toward the middle of the field, finding his way through a maze of defenders and outrunning the pursuit to score on the longest punt return in Outback Bowl history.

Boykin’s second TD, finishing a five-play, 81-yard drive fueled

by Murray’s 53-yard completion to King, put Georgia up 25-20. Murray’s 2-point conversion pass to Malcolm Mitchell gave the Bulldogs a 7-point advantage before Cousins went to work and revived Michigan State’s hopes.

The Spartans were limited to two first downs and just 72 yards total offense to trail 16-0 at the half. Cousins finally got them on track after the first of Darqueze Dennard’s two interceptions set up a nine-play, 48-yard drive that Bell finished with an 8-yard touchdown run.

Dennard’s 38-yard interception return for a touchdown threw Michigan State within 16-14, and Cousins’ TD pass to Nichol gave the Spartans a short-lived 20-19 lead.

Paralyzed Carolina bride still hopes to walk again

BY MARTHA WAGGONER The Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina woman who got married last summer after a poolside accident left her paralyzed isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walking yet, but she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given up on learning to move on her own again.

Rachelle Friedman Chapman is stronger after training for almost three weeks in October at Project Walk, a spinal cord injury recovery center in Carlsbad, Calif. And the 26-year-old from Knightdale, near Raleigh, hopes to return for more training that could help her walk for the first time since the accident just weeks before her original wedding date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see people standing up out of their wheelchair, people who are relearning how to walk,â&#x20AC;? Chapman said in a recent phone interview.

It was on May 23, 2010, that Chapman was pushed into a

pool by a friend at her bachelorette party in Virginia Beach, Va. She fell into the shallow end and awkwardly hit the cement bottom. The injury to her vertebra left her with no feeling from the chest down and feeling on the inside of her arms but not the outside. Her wedding had been scheduled for a few weeks after the party, but she and her fiance postponed it by more than a year.

She has never revealed the name of the friend, who was a bridesmaid when the wedding was finally held in July 2011.

The cruel timing of her injury and her enduring positivity landed her story in newspapers, websites and television reports around the world.

Chapman got one round of rehabilitation therapy after her accident and tried to exercise on her own. Now she works out on a table that her husband, Chris, and his father built for

her and does weight-bearing exercises on a home gym.

Her balance is better because her core is stronger, as are her arms.

When Chapman arrived at Project Walk, she was weak, says Kimberly Davis, an instructor there. Her blood pressure was low because her muscles had atrophied and she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the muscle contractions necessary to move the blood, Davis says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mornings would be difficult for her,â&#x20AC;? Davis says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even be able to get her into a seated position without her passing out.â&#x20AC;?

She also was suffering from bone loss because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not standing or bearing weight. By the end of her treatment, Chapman was able to move for 30 minutes on a machine similar to an elliptical trainer that takes clients through the walking process while supporting their

legs and body with a harness.

She also was able to get upright in a frame that uses hydraulics to move clients to a standing position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty impressed with her progress,â&#x20AC;? Davis says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave here walking, but she increased her strength tremendously.â&#x20AC;?

While she describes Chapmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition as severe, Davis says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still possible she will walk again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this injury, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unpredictable,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Chapman, whose California rehab was funded by an organization called Walking With Anthony, hopes to return in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to go back more than anything,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Davis wants her to return as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I could have her back in here tomorrow, I would,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She needs to be back in here as soon as possible.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no duplication of the program.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Chapman is taking care of other business. As promised, the Beatles fan got a tattoo of the peace sign drawn on the back of her neck, at the center, marking her injury. Underneath is inked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let It Be.â&#x20AC;?

It was, she said, the most painful thing sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever experienced â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fall in the pool didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt.

She also learning to drive again and thinking of trying to find a job or getting a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in a subject such as school counseling. And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s started writing a book.

She and her husband are considering having a child, but she has to get off the blood pressure and pain medications to do that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be a fun pregnancy,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably be dizzy and in pain all the time. It will be nine months of sacrifice. ... But we would love to have our own child.â&#x20AC;?

Police: Park gunman may have fled to area to hide

BY MIKE BAKER The Associated Press

MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police officers with dogs trudged across the frigid, snow-covered slopes of Mount Rainier National Park Monday in their hunt for an armed Iraq War veteran suspected in the killing of a park ranger.

Authorities also dispatched teams to reach and evacuate three groups of campers in the backcountry who may be unaware about the search for Benjamin Colton Barnes, 24, wanted in the Sunday morning killing of Margaret Anderson.

Law enforcement officials are particularly concerned about a group near where the gunman may travel.

Barnes, who is believed to have survivalist skills, is also a suspect in a 3 a.m. New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day shooting at a house party near Seattle that left four people wounded, two critically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The speculation is he threw some stuff in the car and headed up here to hide out,â&#x20AC;? parks

spokesman Kevin Bacher said.

Bacher wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guess whether Barnes survived the night in snowy, cold conditions as officers tried to track him down using planes, dogs, trackers in snowshoes and an aircraft with heat-sensing capabilities.

With the proper gear and training, he said, it was possible for someone to survive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be very deadly if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unprepared,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody who knows what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing out there could certainly survive the night. If he had those skills and had some of that gear, he could be very comfortable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any of us would be sorry if he was not in a condition to fire on our searchers,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Barnes has had a troubled transition to civilian life, with accusations he suffers posttraumatic stress disorder and is suicidal.

Barnes was involved in a custody dispute in Tacoma in July, during which his toddler daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother sought

a temporary restraining order against him, according to court documents.

The woman told authorities he was suicidal and possibly suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after deploying to Iraq in 2007-2008, and had once sent her a text message saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to die.â&#x20AC;?

She alleged that he gets easily irritated, angry and depressed and keeps an arsenal of weapons in his home. She wrote that she feared for the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety.

Undated photos provided by police showed a shirtless, tattooed Barnes brandishing two weapons, a large rifle and a smaller firearm with a large clip.

In November 2011, a guardian ad litem recommended parenting and communication classes for both parents and recommending Barnes be allowed to continue supervised visits with the child, two days a week.

That visitation schedule was to continue until he completed a domestic violence evaluation

and mental health evaluation and complied with all treatment recommendations.

On New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, there was an argument at a house party in Skyway, south of Seattle, and gunfire erupted, police said.

Barnes was connected to the shooting, said Sgt. Cindi West, King County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokeswoman.

Two of the three people who fled the scene were located.

West said authorities were trying to find Barnes and had been in contact with his family to ask them to convince him to step forward and â&#x20AC;&#x153;tell his side of the story.â&#x20AC;?

At Mount Rainier around 10:20 a.m. Sunday, the gunman had sped past a checkpoint to make sure vehicles have tire chains, which are sometimes necessary in snowy conditions, Bacher said.

One ranger began following him while Anderson, a 34-yearold mother of two young children who was married to another Mount Rainier park ranger, eventually blocked the

road to stop the driver.

Before fleeing, the gunman fired shots at both Anderson and the ranger that trailed him, but only Anderson was hit.

Anderson would have been armed, as she was one of the rangers tasked with law enforcement, Bacher said. Pierce Co. Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman Ed Troyer said she was shot before she had even got out of the vehicle.

About 150 officers, including from the Washington State Patrol, U.S. Forest Service and FBI, were on the mountain Sunday.

Tactical responders wearing crampons and snowshoes pursued what appeared to be the gunmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tracks in the snow, Troyer said. Those tracks went into creeks and other waterways, making it more difficult for crews to follow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intentionally trying to get out of the snow,â&#x20AC;? Troyer said.

Authorities recovered his vehicle, which had weapons and body armor inside, Troyer said.

Fate of frozen embryos puts couple at crossroads DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 11 years. We went through eight years of fertility treatments before having our twins.

When they were a year old, we discovered I was pregnant with our third child. The twins are now 21â &#x201E;2 and the baby is almost a year old.

For the first time in our marriage, my husband and I are at an impasse.

We have two embryos left and need to decide what to do. We either use them or destroy them. I think we need to give the embryos the chance they were meant to have. However, my husband is concerned only with the financial side of it as we have been living on one salary and things are tight.

My heart aches over this. Do I do what I believe is right and stand by my religious and moral beliefs, and take the chance my husband will resent me for the rest of our marriage? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll resent him if I have to destroy them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d appreciate some words of wisdom. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; DEADLOCKED IN NEW JERSEY DEAR DEADLOCKED: This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an either/or question. I discussed it with Diane

Goodman, the past president of the Academy of California Family Abigail Formation Van Buren L a w y e r s , who sugDear Abby gests a third option. Your embryos could be donated for embryo adoption by a couple who have been unable to conceive, and who would love to raise them. For more information, you should contact an attorney who specializes in family formation, or contact the Snowflakes Frozen Embryo Adoption and Donation Program.

Its phone number is 714693-5437 and its website is www.nightlight.org.

DEAR ABBY: I am 29 and met my birth mother last month for the first time. She abandoned two other children besides me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angieâ&#x20AC;? is an alcoholic and has cirrhosis of the liver. When I met her she was in rehab and had been sober for two weeks. The day after she was released she was rearrested for driving with a revoked license. The following day she was arrested for DUI. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious that my

birth mother has a major addiction, and my heart breaks for her because she has no support system. Should I reach out and help her or continue on with my life? My friends and family are afraid Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get hurt, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to sit back and do nothing. Any words of wisdom will help. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;CONFUSED AND TORN IN ST. LOUIS DEAR CONFUSED AND TORN: Before involving yourself any further with Angie, take some time to visit AlAnon (listed in your phone directory) and Adult Children of Alcoholics (adultchildren. org). That you want to help her is laudable, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that you fully understand what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re letting yourself in for if you do.

Much as you might wish to, you cannot â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixâ&#x20AC;? other people -- only they can do that. The Serenity Prayer from AA says it clearly: â&#x20AC;&#x153;God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.â&#x20AC;? It applies to you.

DEAR ABBY: My exwife, from whom I was divorced for many years, died recently. Our mid-

dle-aged daughter, who grew up in her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care, was unhappy that I chose not to attend the funeral. (Actually, I never considered going.)

Not only would plane fare have been a financial burden, my ex and I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t communicated with each other for more than 30 years. She remarried and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Was I wrong for not being there? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand our daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings in the matter. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; MEANT NO DISRESPECT, MESA, ARIZ. DEAR MEANT NO DISRESPECT: Funerals arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the deceased as much as they are for the living. Because you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention whether you had maintained contact with your daughter since your divorce from her mother, I can only guess that she felt she needed your emotional support during that sad time, and that would explain her reaction to your absence.

(Dear Abby is written

by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes by Holiday The Taurus moon is a sensual creature with a hefty appetite. With Jupiter in Taurus, as well, no matter how much fulfilling sustenance is heaped into the scene, the hunger will rage on.

You may save yourself quite a lot of trouble and expense by taking this into account. Since you may never be satisfied, you may as well quit while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ahead.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When was the last time you had endless stretches of hours and nothing to do to fill them? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long while. Rearrange things to give yourself more of that most opulent of luxuries: time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend much of your day in maintenance mode. This sends a signal to the universe that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy with what you have, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon wind up with even more of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A kind gesture you made long ago will be reciprocated. The warm feelings have been simmering this whole time, though it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear to the other person until now exactly how to give back.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel responsible for all the ills

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help you protect yourself, and your family from the unexpected.

of the world, but you still want to make it better.

What you do to help others will bring immediate comfort. It will give you hope to see the signs that healing is taking place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Someone who is very persistent may finally get your attention. There is a lesson for you in this, and you will be inspired to embody the spirit of persistence regarding another area of your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). The one you adore needs you, too. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great alchemy at work in this relationship. What you have together is greater than the sum of its parts. A magical element rises from the mix.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Get organized.

You have all the hard resources necessary to make a project work. All you need now is to line them up and point them in the same direction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely find that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to indulge in media because real life will be more fascinating to you than any fictional entertainment out there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In one moment you think that a problem canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be solved.

In the next moment you realize that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sort of thing that gets solved every day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very close to the answer.

Keep digging. Ask everyone around.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You do things differently from the way your parents did, and they did things differently from the way their parents did. Today youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll note these differences with a sense of pride.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). The things you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see or own or control are far more valuable than the material things that can occupy so much of your attention and time. You know this and will prioritize accordingly.

ing on will be a bit of a challenge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difficult circumstance, but because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so easy that you may mentally drift to another place in time while you work.

TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 3). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sense which options will be the most prosperous and choose accordingly. Your practical approach to love will bond you firmly as a cohesive team.

While you may appear to aim for materialistic goals, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplished will go beyond the tangible into the sublime.
