Young teen fearful of future has lots of time on her side DEAR ABBY: I’m 14 and I’m terrified that I won’t know what to do once I’m in college and have to decide on a longterm job. I have a lot of interests, but none that would lead me toward a career. My teachers and the books I read say I should find my passion and follow it for the rest of my life. My problem is, I don’t have a stand-out passion I love intensely. I have an amazing family who would support me in any direction I choose, but I don’t know what that would be. I get good grades and work hard, and I believe I could achieve anything I choose. The problem is, I don’t know what I want to do. I know I’m young, but I worry all the time about my future and being stuck in a job I hate. I’m involved in lots of activities — student government, piano lessons, sports, service clubs and more — and I enjoy all of them. But none of them inspire a burning passion. Do you have any suggestions on how to find my passion? — NEEDS A DIRECTION, ATLANTA DEAR NEEDS A DIRECTION: Yes. And the first one is to relax and quit worrying about not having found your “passion” at 14. This isn’t the Middle Ages, when young people would apprentice themselves to a guild in which they would spend the rest of their lives. You are intelligent and only

beginning to explore your various talents. Y o u may excel Abigail in several Van Buren d i f f e r ent areas, Dear Abby which is good, because workers no longer necessarily stay in one kind of job for a lifetime. People are usually good at the things they enjoy, so slow down. Give yourself time to see where you excel. I am positive that if you do, you’ll find your passion(s) in a field you enjoy. DEAR ABBY: Four years ago my best friend’s mother lost her husband after a battle with cancer. She joined a grief support group and met a man who had lost his wife to cancer, too. Love blossomed and they will be married soon. Everyone is thrilled they have found each other. Along with a wedding gift, would it be appropriate to make a donation to a cancer charity in memory of their deceased spouses? I would like to honor the struggle that led the couple to each other, but don’t want to offend. What do you think? — DEVOTED FRIEND IN KENTUCKY DEAR DEVOTED FRIEND: I think you have come up with a beautiful idea that will be deeply appreciated, and you should do it.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will maintain your solid stance at the calm center of a swirl of activity. You’ll love the show. It’s like there’s a parade going by just for your entertainment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Messages get mixed up, but that doesn’t have to stop you. A surge of creativity will help you do what traditional methods of communication will fail to accomplish. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are sincerely invigorated by the presence of others. Be bold enough to show just how thrilled you are to interact with people, and they’ll be charmed by your enthusiasm. You will make them feel important. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are receptive to trying new things, though you want to know that the risk will be worthwhile. You’ll take steps to avoid feeling “ripped off,” such as investigating further, reading testimonials and looking out for bad reviews. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are family members you would love to connect with more often, but life and distance stand between you. Bridging the gap is a matter of planning. Set aside some time to sort out the details of your next visit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want a person to possess certain qualities so badly that you may see these qualities regard-

less of whether they really exist. There’s a chance the individual in question will grow into the role you’ve cast. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In spite of Mercury’s retrograde, you have “mad-skills” in the conversation department, and you’re determined to use them. You’ll engage in the kind of talks that will stir your soul and nourish your imagination. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though a big project is now satisfactorily “in the can,” you still have a great deal ahead of you that needs tending. You’ll gather up your forces and look to the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because you are so honest with yourself, you’ll see through the facade that people try to present and into the way they actually are. You’ll note the frailty all around and turn your tender attention where it’s needed most. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you are specific and unambiguous, you will get the results you seek. Also, make it easy for others to help you. A simple question will get a simple answer. A compound question will get no answer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Much is going unsaid that could complicate matters. Identify and verbalize what you need to get

out of a transaction to make you consider it a success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There will be a bit of a mystery to solve, and it will come together like a puzzle, one piece at a time. Your persistence and a willingness to experiment will be key to resolving this one.

Today’s birthday What has been trying in the past will now be much easier for you to accomplish. Next month, you’ll be shown favor by those who are difficult to impress. January brings important financial transactions. You’ll shift your business strategy in February. Lifestyle upgrades come in May. Gemini and Virgo people contribute generously to your life. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 4, 44 and 18.

Celebrity profiles Sagittarian siren Katherine Heigl confessed, “People who know me well know that I have an opinion about pretty much everything.” With four natal luminaries in Sagittarius, perhaps all those opinions are based on the wide range of experiences Heigl has acquired by following her intense sense of curiosity. Jupiter in Leo, the sign of children, suggests that Heigl’s playful daughter brings her luck.

Time is running out for those in need to register for help from the annual Lighthouse Foundation Toy Store program. Monday and Tuesday will be the last days to register for assistance from the annual program which helps provide Christmas presents for children in Alcorn County whose families are going through difficult times. Registration sessions will be held Monday and Tuesday from 9 a.m. until noon

“This is by far the largest need we’ve ever seen. People are hurting. This year the need just seems so big.” Gary Caveness Lighthouse Foundation Executive Director and Monday from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the foundation’s headquarters on South Johns Street. Those registering need to bring photo identification and proof of residency for themselves, along with a birth certificate and social security card for each child they are registering for assistance.

Foundation Executive Director Gary Caveness said they’ve seen a huge outpouring of need from the community since they began registering people for this year’s program. “This is by far the largest need we’ve ever seen. People are hurting. This year the need

just seems so big,” he said. Donations and volunteers are needed to make this 15th annual effort a success. Caveness said he feels blessed to live in a community that believes in the project and he’s seen time and time again how the community will come together to make the pro-

gram successful each year. He said they’re counting again on the generosity of the people of Corinth to help them help others during this special time of year.

Museum plans vintage doll exhibit BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston @dailycorinthian.com

The Crossroads Museum has one of the area’s biggest vintage doll collections, and it’s putting some of them on display. A new exhibit slated for Dec. 1 through the end of January will feature more than 100 vintage china and bisque dolls from a collection that was donated to the Crossroads Museum some 20 years ago. “There are some very rare pieces,” said Museum Director Brandy Steen, who has been sorting through boxes of highly detailed and welldressed dolls donated by Robert Lee. The newest doll in the collection is from 1961, while the majority are believed to be more than 100 years old. Lee’s mother, an avid doll collector, purchased

Coca Cola of Corinth RED Coordinator Amy Smith displays the new white Coke cans which feature the polar bear.

American classic gets unique change BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington @dailycorinthian.com

An American classic is getting a unique makeover for a limited time to help protect one of nature’s most magnificent creatures. The iconic Coca-Cola red can has been reimagined in arctic white as part of a campaign to raise funds to protect the habitat of the polar bear, which has long been a key part of Coca-Cola’s image and advertising. This marks the first time the Coca-Cola company has changed the color of its signature bright red cans. The new can features the iconic Coca-Cola script logo in traditional CocaCola red against an arctic white backdrop with images of the polar bear. Ken Williams with CocaCola of Corinth said the new cans are already available in stores throughout the area and will only be available for the next two to four weeks. He said they’re already getting a lot of feedback from customers who seem to like the new packaging. He said it’s a very unique promotion and they’re excited to be a part of it. “It’s really kind of a fun thing,” he said. Williams said the fact the company has never

produced a white CocaCola can will also make the limited edition packaging a very special item for the many collectors of Coca-Cola memorabilia. The new look is part of a campaign launched by the Coca-Cola Company in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund. The beverage producer has committed up to $3 million to the WWF’s polar bear conservation efforts and the company is also asking others to join in the effort by donating to the fund by texting the package code found on their Coke package to 357357 for a $1 donation or visiting www.arctichome. com. Coca-Cola will match all donations made through March 15, 2012 up to $1 million, in addition to a $2 million initial donation made by the company. According to the World Wildlife Fund, the habitat of the polar bear is shrinking quickly and the fund is working to protect the area including working with residents of 500,000 square mile area high in the Arctic to protect a habitat for the polar bear today and in the future. For more information on the polar bear and efforts to protect its habitat, visit www.arctichome.com.

Ole Miss program among first to assist addicts BY JESSICA BAKEMAN Associated Press

JACKSON — When Amber Henson equated her 8 a.m. classes at the University of Mississippi as opportunities to mix liquor with orange juice, she knew she needed help but didn’t know where to get it. Her alcohol addiction had progressed untreated after years of denial and poor decision making, and she found herself forced to sit out for a semester at Ole Miss, the third college she attended. “I finally was just to a point where I hated myself, and I hated everybody around me,� the Marks native said. “I prayed to this God that I wasn’t even sure could hear me. I prayed, ‘Just please get me out of this.’ I would do whatever it took.� At just the right time for Henson, Ole Miss’ Counseling Center launched a collegiate recovery community for people like her — students, faculty and staff in recovery from addiction. Henson attended the program’s first meeting in fall 2010. “What those people had, I wanted it,� she said. “I knew that I wanted to

be happy and alcoholfree and in school, and all those things worked together. So I stuck with it.� Ole Miss’ recovery community joins a growing number at universities nationwide, ranging from small support groups like at Ole Miss to programs including sober housing, scholarships and academic guidance. The University of Southern Mississippi is in the planning stages for its own program, and staff hope to offer on-campus meetings for Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Eating Disorders Anonymous by the end of this semester. Shortly after Ole Miss’ launch, Eileene McRae, who retired after 20 years as an alcohol and drug counselor at Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, called a meeting with university leaders in January to discuss this apparent need. “I saw people coming out of treatment who really wanted to go back to college but were scared to death,� said McRae, who now works from her home as an outreach co-

ordinator for Cumberland Heights, a treatment center in Nashville. “They’d be going back to old playmates, old playthings and old playpens — and it just doesn’t work. They would usually end up relapsing.� McRae said students who are biologically predisposed to addiction often have experience with alcohol or drug abuse before they leave for college, but today’s campuses provide an ideal environment for the disease to emerge. “Students leave home and are really independent for the first time in their lives, and most of them have more freedom to drink or use drugs than they did when they were at home,� she said. “So many students drink and party ... It’s the American way.� Amy Fisher, substance abuse services coordinator for Ole Miss, presented the early success of her program’s launch at the meeting, which took place before the recovery community movement gained national momentum. Twenty schools this summer formed the Association of Recovery in Higher Education, an or-

ganization aiming to encourage further development of these programs nationwide. “Mississippi always seems to be behind in everything, and we really are not behind in this,� McRae said. “We are one of the forerunners, and I really am proud of that.� Fisher created the recovery community with support from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, where the first program of its kind in the nation was founded in 1986. Texas Tech’s Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery has offered guidance to other programs across the country, though no two programs look alike. Ole Miss’ Recovery Community is small, with just three active student members and three alumni, and consists mainly of weekly meetings and sober activities, like a sober tailgating tent at the Oct. 15 football game against the University of Alabama. While Texas Tech attracts students from around the country who choose the school specifically for its recovery program, Ole Miss’ program

Soil spells trouble for Memphis river project Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Soil deficiencies along the Mississippi River are the latest hurdle for a planned park at Memphis’ Beale Street Landing project, which is already behind schedule and millions of dollars over initial cost projections. First envisioned in 2002 as a $10.4 million docking terminal along the river, plans for Beale Street Landing now include a park allowing pedestrian access to the river, a floating dock for large riverboats and a terminal building that also will house a restaurant. Cost estimates have risen to nearly $42 million, according to The Commercial Appeal. Benny Lendermon, president of the Riverfront Development Corp., now says soil deficiencies at the site are so severe that architects must find a way to simplify the layout for

the terraced park that will be built next to the nearly completed docking facility. Without the changes, the park’s walkways, terraces and islands would require an expensive number of pilings and structural supports to compensate for the poor soil, he said. Officials at the Riverfront Development Corp. — which manages Memphis’ riverfront amenities — haven’t identified the extent of the required changes. But, the basic concept of the original design will remain intact, and the total costs of the project won’t rise any further, officials said. “We have to use a simpler solution that doesn’t require as much structural support,� Lendermon said. “We’re looking at everything.� International companies competed for the design of the landing eight years ago, when the cost was projected at no more

than $20 million. The winning design, by RTN Architects of Buenos Aires, Argentina, featured the series of islands descending toward the water and connected by walkways and bridges to allow for varying river levels. Officials initially hoped the landing could be completed in 2006, but a prolonged approval process and city budget constraints pushed back the timetable. Meanwhile, projected costs grew due to a spike in higher steel prices and the rates charged by contractors after Hurricane Katrina. Projected construction costs for the entire landing had risen to $38.1 million by the time City Council approved the nearly $9.75 million slated for the park phase six months ago. Adding a $3.85 million price tag for architecture and engineering, the total cost comes to at least $41.95 million.

Soil at the site is composed largely of the mucky alluvial material deposited by the river, but it’s not deposited in a “uniform manner,� Lendermon said. As a result, it has a tendency to settle much more than other soil types. Significant settling along the walkways winding down the riverbank could put the project out of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Should that happen, contractors would have to make the costly move of driving extra pilings into the ground to shore up the walkways. Still, much of the landing project, including the building, dock and parking lot, should be completed by the end of this year. Lendermon said he’s optimistic the modifications can be finished in time for a contractor to begin work on the park next spring.

is structured differently, as so far it has served only students who were already at Ole Miss. Also, Fisher said the students in her group are older than traditional college students, in their mid- to late-20s. So while Texas Tech includes sober housing, a residential component at Ole Miss wouldn’t quite fit. Fisher’s dreams for the program’s include securing an office space that students could access 24/7, as well as offering scholarships to those maintaining good grades while staying clean and sober. Fisher’s wish list won’t be addressed until she can secure funding for the program, and many of the nation’s recovery communities rely on private dollars, she said. Texas Tech is administering surveys throughout several universities, including Ole Miss, in an attempt to prove the programs are making a positive difference in students’ lives. The research might demonstrate the legitimacy of future funding requests. Jodi Ryder, health educator at USM, said the

Hattiesburg campus is in a particularly good position to benefit people coming out of Pine Grove who wish to attend school and possibly live in sober housing. “This would be an opportunity for them to be offered a scholarship and continue their education and pursue a career,� she said. “They’ll see there’s hope for the future.� But that’s far off, Ryder said. She just secured a space for 12-step meetings and is generating interest among current students. Since Henson joined Ole Miss’ recovery community last year, she no longer feels unsafe on campus, which she said before felt like a scary place where easy access to alcohol lurked around every corner. “I know that when I shut that front door to the Counseling Center, I don’t have to worry about anyone there tempting me with anything because they all know who I am and where I’ve been in my life,� the senior said. “It’s a place where I can walk in and shut out the rest of the world.�

DOLLS: Original owner was a seamstress, made dolls’ clothes CONTINUED FROM 1A

The original owner was a seamstress, and she handmade clothing for some of the dolls. Many of the china dolls are clothed in elaborate dresses. The collection includes a few male dolls, which were less common, and a few female dolls with blond hair, an uncommon trait at the time. The female dolls commonly had dark hair and blue eyes. Produced mainly in Germany, china dolls were most common from 1840 to 1940 and typically had a porcelain head and shoulders and a cloth body. The hair and face is molded and painted. Bisque dolls are made of bisque porcelain and typically have a more skin-like appearance. Most were fashion dolls having hair that is not painted on as with china dolls and peaked in popularity in the late 1800s. Steen said it’s an exhibit that would make for a great afternoon out with grandma. In other museum happenings, the gift shop now offers the 1996 book detailing the life of aviator Roscoe Turner. It is currently available only at the museum. Also, the museum website (crossroadsmuseum. com) will soon feature a virtual exhibit including thousands of photos from the museum’s holdings. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Deals, longer hours woo shoppers (Editor’s Note: For how sales went on the local level, see staff writer Bobby J. Smith’s account in Sunday’s Daily Corinthian.) BY MAE ANDERSON AND ANNE D’INNOCENZIO Associated Press

Big crowds on Black Friday can be both a blessing and a curse. Early signs point to bigger crowds at the nation’s malls and stores as retailers like Target and Macy’s opened their doors at midnight on the most anticipated shopping day of the year and a few others opened on Thanksgiving Day. Shoppers were mostly peaceful across the country, but a few violent incidents broke out as millions of shoppers rushed into stores and tensions flared. It started on Thanksgiving, when Los Angeles authorities say 20 people at a local Walmart store suffered minor injuries when a woman used pepper spray to gain a “competitive” shopping advantage shortly after the store opened. Then, early Friday in Fayetteville, N.C., gunfire erupted at Cross Creek Mall and police say they’re looking for the two suspects involved. Separately, police say two

women have been injured and a man charged after a fight broke out at an upstate New York Walmart. And a central Florida man is behind bars after a fight broke out at a jewelry counter in Walmart in Kissimmee, Fla. Later Friday morning, a Phoenix television station KSAZ reported that witnesses say police slammed a grandfather in a Walmart in Buckeye, Ariz., to the ground after he allegedly put a game in his waistband so that he could lift his grandson out of the crowd. The incidents are the result of two converging trends on Black Friday. The crowds continue to get bigger as retailers offer more incentives and longer hours. At the same time, shoppers are competing for a small group of products, instead of years past when there were several hot items from which they could choose. “The more the people, the more the occurrences,” says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with market research firm The NPD Group. Indeed, a record number of shoppers are expected to head out to stores across the country this weekend to take advantage of discounts of up to 70 percent. For three days starting on

Black Friday, 152 million people are expected shop, up about 10 percent from last year, according to the National Retail Federation. “I came here for the deals,” said Sidiki Traore, 59, from Roosevelt Island, N.Y. who was among about 10,000 people who were standing outside of Macy’s store in New York’s Herald Square for its midnight opening. The crowds are good news for retailers, many of which depend on the busy holiday shopping season for up to 40 percent of their annual revenue. To draw in shoppers this year, they pulled out of their bag of tricks. In addition to several retailers opening much earlier than previous years, some began offering to match the prices of competitors and rolling out layaway programs. Shoppers on Friday, though, say they mostly are being lured into stores by the deals, including discounts of 20 to 60 percent on many items at The Gap and a $400 Asus Transformer 10-inch tablet computer for $249.99 at Best Buy. After showing up at Best Buy in New York on Wednesday at 3 p.m., Emmanuel Merced, 27, and his brother were

the first in line when it opened. On their list was a Sharp 42-inch TV for $199, a PlayStation 3 console with games for $199.99 and wireless headphones for $30. Merced says he likes camping out for Black Friday and he figures he saved 50 percent. “I like the experience of it,” says Merced, who plans to spend $3,000 to $4,000 on gifts this season. To be sure, not every store was filled to the brim with people looking for deals on Black Friday. With so many major stores opening at midnight, crowds shopped early, staying up late to snag the best deals. That meant there was an unusual lull during the typically bustling pre-dawn hours when stores used to open their doors. At a Target on Chicago’s north side, for instance, crowds were light four hours after the store opened. And door-buster deals, including the typically quick-to-sell out TVs and gaming systems, remained piled up in their boxes. Shoppers pushed carts through mostly empty aisles while thumbing through circulars and employees — some in Santa hats — roamed the store. There was no Christmas music — or any music — playing.

Drought puts damper on tree farmers BY RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI Associated Press

NEW CANEY, Texas — Dry, brown grass crunches underfoot as David Barfield walks through his 45-acre Christmas tree farm pointing at evergreens covered with brittle, rust-colored needles. “Dead tree, dead tree, dead tree,” he says, shaking his head at dry timber he hoped would be chopped down by parents with excited children. Instead, Mother Nature delivered the Grinch in the form of a historic drought that has killed thousands of trees across Texas and Oklahoma. Some died of thirst. Others were destroyed by wildfires, whose breadth and intensity were magnified when wind swept the flames across parched landscape. Most farmers plan to import trees from North Carolina to supplement any they have left, said Marshall Cathey, president of the Texas Christmas Tree Growers Association. They say they aren’t planning to raise prices because consumers

are reluctant to pay more than $40 or $50 for a Christmas tree, especially in the poor economy. But families hoping for a homegrown tree to cut down will have a harder time finding one, and dozens of farmers are struggling. Possibly most painful for these growers are the deaths of the youngest saplings, which guarantee the drought’s effect will be felt for years to come. “It’s depressing, it really is,” said Barfield, 53. “This was going to be our retirement.” He and his wife, Karen, 49, bought the farm about six years ago with dreams of retiring from Texas’ oil fields and spending their final years peddling the Christmas spirit with fresh-cut trees, marshmallow roasts and hayrides in a red-and-white sleigh. They planted 20 acres of evergreen trees. Now, barely two years after Karen Barfield retired to work the farm, she has returned fulltime to her job selling explosion-proof enclosures to the oil industry. David Barfield has increased

his hours doing parttime electronic work. Instead of selling some 400 homegrown trees as they do in a good year, they will be lucky to sell 100 — nearly all Frasier firs brought in from North Carolina. And they’re not certain that will be enough to cover their property taxes. Barfield says he can only charge $50 for a North Carolina fir — just $10 more than he pays for them. “Eight (trees) died within the last week,” Barfield said, continuing his walk through his farm in New Caney. “These were all green a week ago. The drought has been hurting us real bad.” But at least he and his wife have other income. Others have not fared as well. “We lost probably 90 percent of our trees,” said Jean Raisey, 79, who’s run a 10-acre Christmas tree farm in Purcell, Okla., with her husband since 1985. The other 10 percent are dying now, she said. “We’ve had to hire a

contractor and pull all the dead and all the live trees,” she said. “And we’re out of business.” Cathey, who owns the 50-acre Elves Farm in Denison, Texas, a town about 75 miles north of Dallas, said he has spoken to many of Texas’ 120 Christmas tree farmers in recent months. Long stretches of triple-degree heat, he said, harmed the trees as much as the lack of rain. And the drought has been bad. In Texas, less than 11 inches of rain fell this year compared to an annual average of almost 24 inches. In Oklahoma, there has been about 18.7 inches of rain this year compared to a long-term average of 30 inches. All trees have been hard-hit by the lack of rain. “There’s hundreds of thousands of trees dying,” said Travis Miller, a drought expert at Texas A&M University. “We’re looking at a ... one-in-a-500-year kind of drought, and so it’s weeding out the ones that can’t survive this kind of extreme conditions,” he added.

Dumb, dumber, or maybe dumbest? BY ROGER SIMON Columnist

The mayor of Chicago was having himself one whale of a time. Speaking at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Des Moines, Iowa, on Saturday, Rahm Emanuel began with: “While we meet here tonight, the Republicans are having a debate across town. I’ve watched a number of them, and I’ve got to be honest, I never thought I’d say this — I’m beginning to miss Sarah Palin’s insights. “Their debate was called the Thanksgiving Family Forum — which is fitting because I have never seen such a collection of turkeys. “Look at their top candidates: Take Mitt Romney. He said he would be in Iowa tonight — we should have known he would change his mind. “Newt was at the debate. I heard he had to leave early to spend the holiday with his loved ones ... the salespeople at Tiffany. “And Herman Cain? I was actually hoping Herman would stop by today and see me before the debate. But he was at his tutorial on Libya. The scary part: His tutor was Rick Perry.” The audience bellowed with delight. Emanuel had, in the Democratic view, summed up the Republican field perfectly: It was untrustworthy, mercenary and dumb. “Don’t try to be charming, witty or intelligent,” Laura Bush told her husband as he began his campaign for president in 2000. “Just be yourself.” That line always got a laugh, and the man who told it at stop after stop was George W. Bush. The Bush campaign, i.e. Karl Rove, had decided the candidate was no genius -- and that wasn’t a bad thing. How well did smart people really do in presidential elections? Adlai Stevenson, perhaps the last nominee proud to be called an intellectual, lost twice to World War II superhero Dwight Eisenhower. Ronald Reagan made so many gaffes as a candidate for president his staff could barely keep track. In his 1980 campaign, he muffed statements on Vietnam, civil rights, Taiwan, creationism, the Ku Klux Klan and how trees cause “93 percent” of the air pollution in America. “The only good news for us at this time,” an aide told his biographer, Lou Cannon, “is that we were making so many blunders that reporters had to pick and choose which ones they would write about.” George W. Bush didn’t know Slovakia from Slovenia or Greeks from “Grecians.” And his “Bushisms” became famous: “Will the highways on the Internet become more few?” he once asked. And, “I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.” And then there was the ultimate one: “Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?” Bush’s opponent in 2000 was Al Gore, who not only was smart, but a policy wonk. Gore was asked one day by The Associated Press if Bush was “too dumb” to be president. Gore’s reaction? “Gore convulsed in laughter while taking a drink of Diet Coke,” the AP reported. “He grabbed a towel to hold against his mouth then, finally swallowing, insisted the tape recorder be stopped for an off-the-record observation.” Bush didn’t care. Let Gore spit up into his towel. “Just because I happen to mispronounce the name of a country doesn’t mean that I don’t understand how to lead,” Bush said. “What matters is: Do I know how to see clear goals? Do I know how to lead? Do I shoot straight? And that’s all I know to do.” This year, Herman Cain would put it even more succinctly at a New Hampshire campaign event. “We need a leader, not a reader,” Cain said. Cain, recently asked a question about Libya, clearly could not remember which country Libya was. (Hey, there are more than 190 countries in the world, he’s supposed to remember every one?) But he explained away his momentary blackout by saying he had too much knowledge, not too little. “I’ve got all of this stuff twirling around in my head,” Cain said. And Rick Perry, the longest-serving governor in Texas history, could not remember the third of three federal departments he would shut down as president -- quite a feat considering they were all one-word answers: commerce, education, energy. He explained it with a simple, “Oops.” The debates are forcing all the candidates to ramp up their games and, usually, most candidates get better with experience. So the real question should be: Is our candidates learning?

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, help us to live each day in the light of your love. Amen.

Grateful people are happy people Eventually social science works its way around to confirming eternal verities. So it is with gratitude. An article in a psychological journal a few years ago noted that “throughout history, religious, theological and philosophical treatises have viewed gratitude as integral to well-being.” Psychology has recently worked to quantify the wisdom of the ages and confirmed — sure enough — it was correct. A raft of recent research has established that grateful people are happier people. They are less depressed and less stressed. They are less likely to envy others and more likely to want to share. They even sleep better. As the journal article put it, empirical work “has suggested gratitude is as strongly correlated with well-being as are other positive traits, and has suggested that this relationship is causal.” Gratitude has long been a neglected quality. A decade or so ago, the “Encyclopedia of Human Emotions” didn’t include it. (For that matter, neither did Bill Bennett’s affirmatively traditional “The Book of Virtues.”) As The New York Times reported

back in 1998, “Psychologists rarely think much about what makes people happy. They Rich focus on Lowery what makes them sad, on National Review what makes them anxious.” They were more likely to study, in other words, the miseries of a Woody Allen than the wellsprings of joy. Gratitude constitutes what philosopher David Hume called a “calm passion.” It doesn’t have the theatrical potential of anger and hatred, or courage and sacrifice. Nonetheless, there’s a reason it has been considered central to the good life and a good society by all major religions and by thinkers stretching from Cicero (”Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others”) to Oprah (”Whenever you can’t think of something to be grateful for, remember your breath”). Gratitude acknowledges our dependence on others and the debt we owe because of it. Grateful people want, somehow, to return

the favor of their undeserved windfall. It is a sentiment that, in the jargon, is “pro-social.” A leading figure in its study, Michael McCullough of the University of Miami, maintains that it binds us to others beyond the ties of family and of commercial transactions. Gratitude is at the root of patriotism, of the impulse to preserve and improve our patrimony. In a culture that tends to celebrate self-glorification, gratitude points us beyond our own demands and discontents. It inclines us to see all around us a world of gifts. What did we do to inherit a country that is free and prosperous? To deserve Charlie Parker or Mark Twain? To build the Golden Gate Bridge or the Chrysler Building? To measure up to the beauties of the Catholic mass or the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? Or simply to prove worthy of traffic lights and potable water? In the classic essay “I, Pencil,” Leonard Read writes an account of the production of a pencil from the point of view of the pencil. The bottom line is that no one person could ever know enough to pro-

duce it alone: “Man can no more direct these millions of know-hows to bring me into being than he can put molecules together to create a tree.” If that’s true of the humble pencil, how much more so does it hold for our civilization? Without gratitude, William F. Buckley Jr. wrote, “We are left with the numbing, benumbing thought that we owe nothing to Plato and Aristotle, nothing to the prophets who wrote the Bible, nothing to the generations who fought for freedoms activated in the Bill of Rights.” He called for “a rebirth of gratitude for those who have cared for us, living and, mostly, dead. The high moments of our way of life are their gifts to us.” John Adams captured the grateful attitude when he acknowledged the hardships of this vale of tears while celebrating it all the same (if in anachronistic language): “Griefs upon griefs! Disappointments upon disappointments. What then? This is a gay, merry world notwithstanding.” (Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Please send this memo to all occupiers Listen up, you protest people! You have gone and alienated Newt Gingrich, who wants you to take a bath and get a job. Or vice-versa. And his words were greeted with applause from coast to coast. You guys should take notice. A couple of months ago, the polls showed that many Americans sympathized with your movement. After all, who likes greed-head Wall Street folks manipulating the financial markets? They bathe, but so what? They’re corrupt, and you are right to demand that the government provide oversight on them. But that point has been largely lost because the Occupy movement is now perceived as radical and incoherent. The loons moved in, and the sincere protesters ceded the spotlight. All of a sudden, the Sons of Anarchy were getting all the camera time. Most Americans are willing to listen,

but not to guys with scorpions tattooed on their necks. And then there were Bill the ugly disO’Reilly plays of poO’Reilly lice-baiting Factor and mindless destruction. The result: According to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, just 28 percent of Americans now approve of the Occupy movement, and James Carville will no longer take their calls. But the primary reason this correspondent has turned bearish (sorry) on the Occupy Wall Street movement is hypocrisy. Recently, the feds announced that executives at the near bankrupt Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac agencies would receive close to $100 million in bonus money. Also, the guy who ran Solyndra into bankruptcy got a nice

departure package despite the fact that the solar-panel company wasted about $500 million of taxpayer money. So where are you on those things, Occupiers? Why are you besieging a Burger King in San Diego when the real corruption is in Washington, D.C.? All the evidence says the protesters have no clue what they want or who the bad guys really are. They have some vague idea that the “1 percenters” are evil and, therefore, the “99 percenters” don’t have enough money to buy an SUV. Or something. A few weeks ago, I looked into taking a trip to Cuba, where there are no “1 percenters” because the Castro brothers have terrorized the wealthy into leaving the island. I’ve been to 75 countries, but never to the socialist paradise 90 miles from the Florida Keys. My travel agent informed

me that it probably would cost me a thousand dollars a day to visit. I would be assigned a government minder and could not travel outside Havana. While in the capital city, I would be able to visit with some artists and eat dinner with a Cuban family while my bodyguard sat next to me. All of my movements would be monitored, and if I stepped out of line, “the man would come and take me away,” as Crosby, Stills and Nash (big Occupy fans) once sang. As a “1 percenter,” I can afford the trip, but does that sound like fun to you? Perhaps the Occupiers might do a little reading up on socialism and its side effects. I’d be happy to send them my brochure from Cuba.

State Highway 9 work for more than just Toyota Associated Press

JACKSON — At first glance, the Mississippi Highway 9 reconstruction under way in Northeast Mississippi is simply a road improvement project supporting the new Toyota automobile plant at Blue Springs. The $90-million fourlaning/improvement project was in the works before Toyota ever committed to building its plant in Mississippi. The project is expected to not only serve Toyota, but also serve other industries in the area, and, just as important, enhance public safety. In addition, some of the fast-track pre-construction components of the project represent firsts for the state, and could be incorporated into other road-building projects in the future. “This project predates Toyota,” said Randy Kelley, who heads the Three Rivers Planning and Development District and played a role in recruiting Toyota to Blue Springs. “The work has been the fo-

cus of MDOT (Mississippi Department of Transportation) for years now.” MDOT listed the 10-mile stretch of the two-lane between Pontotoc and Sherman in its Vision 21 plan back in 2002 as an immediate priority. The roadway between Mississippi Highways 6 and 178 was already overburdened. The twisting, undulating highway was a traffic and safety nightmare. With traffic counts projected to increase according to MDOT research, a new, four-lane highway was needed. “It followed every hill and hollow, that’s for sure,” Kelley said. “You could leave Pontotoc, drive for 30 minutes, and still not be in Sherman, a trip of maybe 14 miles.” Highway 9 came under renewed focus when Toyota announced in February 2007 its selection of Blue Springs as the site of its newest automobile plant. With that, the state cranked up the project. MDOT announced in 2008 that it had chosen its preferred route for the four-laning project. Ev-

“It followed every hill and hollow, that’s for sure. You could leave Pontotoc, drive for 30 minutes, and still not be in Sherman, a trip of maybe 14 miles.” Randy Kelley Three Rivers Planning and Development District erything seemed a “go.” Then the economy tanked. Not only did this effect transportation funding, it put the construction of the Toyota plant, originally set to start production in late 2009 or early 2010, in limbo. Toyota announced in December 2008 that it was indefinitely postponing the proposed opening of the plant. Then, in June 2010 Toyota contacted the state and said the plant was back on, with a proposed opening of this fall. Suddenly, the Highway 9 project needed to get done, and quickly. MDOT contacted the engineering firm NeelSchaffer Inc., which MDOT chose as its preconstruction agent on the project. The largest Mississippi-based engineer-

ing firm, Neel-Schaffer, charged with managing the final design (roadway and bridge) as well as right of way (maps and deeds, appraisal, acquisitions/ relocations, closing attorney and property management) and utilities relocation, said it could wrap up all of the pre-construction work in 12 months. Robert Walker, senior vice president at NeelSchaffer, said his firm put approximately 20 staffers on the project, but the work required a larger team effort and, importantly, fast-track designbuild components. For example, the state put in “early bird” incentives for property owners. If owners agreed to sell early, the state would offer a bonus. The state also set up

special escrow accounts for the landowners. This sped payments to the owners, allowing them to relocate more quickly. The design process was also altered. Plans were only 60 percent complete when produced. This cut the time needed for the plans to be totally completed while giving contractors enough information on the proposed project to allow for bidding and to begin moving utilities. Engineers said the new stretch of Highway 9 is designed to be much safer for the traveling public compared to the old roadway. Bill Jamieson, MDOT district engineer, said to his knowledge the expedited right of way and partial-plan elements of the project were firsts in the State of Mississippi. Northern Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert said these new fast-track components might not work for all future projects, but the Highway 9 process proves in his mind that they can not only speed up proj-

ects, but also save money. The general contractor on the project is Eutaw Construction of Aberdeen, which won the bid last May. Work started on the highway in July. MDOT gave the project 17 months for completion. Jamieson said the project was about 50 percent completed and well ahead of schedule. In a statement, Eutaw president Thomas Elmore said the project includes “clearing and grubbing 650 acres, moving seven million cubic yards of dirt, construction of 11 bridges, laying 15,000 linear feet of pipe and paving 170,000 tons of asphalt.”

Arrests made in black bear cubs’ shooting Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The shooting of two black bear cubs in Blount County has led to criminal charges against two men and has raised the ire of advocates for the black bear popula-

tion in East Tennessee. The Tennessee Wildlife Agency cited Corey Martin Campbell, 19, and Jesse Lee McClellan, 18, for hunting from a motorized craft, spotlighting a bear and two counts of hunting

in a closed season. The men are scheduled to appear in court Dec. 30 after their arrest Nov. 10 for criminal trespassing. The records indicated the men used a spotlight on the bears before shooting them.

Vice president’s ’12 targets: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida BY JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A year from Election Day, Democrats are crafting a campaign strategy for Vice President Joe Biden that targets the big three political battlegrounds: Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, states where Biden might be more of an asset to President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign than the president himself. The Biden plan underscores an uncomfortable reality for the Obama team. A shaky economy and sagging enthusiasm among Democrats could shrink the electoral map for Obama in 2012, forcing his campaign to depend on carrying the 67 electoral votes up for grabs in the three swing states. Obama won all three states in 2008. But this time he faces challenges in each, particularly in Ohio and Florida, where voters elected Republican governors in the 2010 midterm elections. The president sometimes struggles to connect with Ohio and Pennsylvania’s white working-class voters, and Jewish voters who make up a core constituency for Florida Democrats and view him with skepticism. Biden has built deep ties to both groups during his four decades in national politics, connections that could make a difference. As a long-serving member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden cemented his reputation as an unyielding supporter of Israel, winning the respect of many in the Jewish community. And Biden’s upbringing in a working class, Catholic

family from Scranton, Pa., gives him a valuable political intangible: He empathizes with the struggles of blue-collar Americans because his family lived those struggles. “Talking to blue-collar voters is perhaps his greatest attribute,” said Dan Schnur, a Republican political analyst. “Obama provides the speeches, and Biden provides the blue-collar subtitles.” While Biden’s campaign travel won’t kick into high gear until next year, he’s already been making stops in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida this fall, speaking at events focused on education, public safety and small businesses and raising campaign cash. Behind the scenes, he’s working the phones with prominent Jewish groups and Catholic organizations in those states, a Democratic official said. Biden is also targeting organized labor, speaking frequently with union leaders in Ohio ahead of a vote earlier this month on a state law that would have curbed collective bargaining rights for public workers. After voters struck down the measure, Biden traveled to Cleveland to celebrate the victory with union members. The Democratic official said the vice president will also be a frequent visitor to Iowa and New Hampshire in the coming weeks, seeking to steal some of the spotlight from the Republican presidential candidates blanketing those states ahead of the January caucus and primary. And while Obama may have declared that he won’t be commenting on the Republican presi-

dential field until there’s a nominee, Biden is following no such rules. He’s calling out GOP candidates by name, and in true Biden style, he appears to be relishing in doing so. During a speech last month to the Florida Democratic Convention, Biden singled out “Romney and Rick”, criticizing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for saying the government should let the foreclosure crisis hit rock bottom, and hammering Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s assertion that he would send U.S. troops into Mexico. And he took on the full GOP field during an October fundraiser in New Hampshire, saying “There is no fundamental difference among all the Republican candidates.” Democratic officials said Biden will follow in the long-standing tradition of vice presidents playing the role of attack dog, allowing Obama to stay out of the fray and appear more focused on governing than campaigning. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss internal strategy. The Obama campaign has been reluctant to publicly define Biden’s role in the re-election bid this early in the run, though campaign manager Jim Messina did say the vice president would deliver an economic message to appeal for support. “You’ll see him in communities across the country next year laying out the choice we face: restoring economic security for the middle class or returning to the same policies that led to our economic challenges,” Messina said.

Gullah Bible now on audio Associated Press

ST. HELENA ISLAND, S.C. — More than three decades after translators began putting the words of the New Testament into Gullah, everyone can now hear those words in the creole language spoken by slaves and their descendants along the sea islands of the nation’s Southeast coast. “Healin fa de Soul,“ — “Healing for the Soul” — a five-CD set of readings from the Gullah Bible, including a dramatized version of the Gospel of John, was released this month at the Penn Center, founded in 1862 as one of the nation’s first freedmen’s schools after Union troops captured the area during the Civil War. The sea island culture — called Gullah in the Carolinas and Geechee in Florida and Georgia — remained intact with descendants of slaves because of the isolation of the area. Although numbers are uncertain, there are thought to be 250,000 Gullah in the four-state coastal area and thousands are thought to speak Gullah as their main language. The CDs are the largest collection of Gullah recordings ever made available to the public and rival those that noted linguist Lorenzo Dow Turner made on sea islands during the 1930s, said Emory Campbell, a former director of the Penn Center who performs on the recordings and worked on the Bible translation. Some of Turner’s recordings are part of the Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibit “Word, Shout, Song” on display currently at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg.

The Week Ahead

The first read on manufacturing The Institute for Supply Management issues its report on the manufacturing sector during November on Thursday. The ISM’s manufacturing index has fallen toward 50, a scary number because it’s the divider between manufacturing growth and contraction. Economists expect the index to rise to 52. A key number in the report will be new orders – if they rise, that indicates manufacturing will strengthen in the months ahead.

Will S&P hit forecasts? At the start of 2011, market strategists predicted the S&P 500 index would end the year with a substantial gain. The highest estimate forecast a 23 percent rise from its 2010 close of 1,257. It’s been a volatile year in the market and many of those early estimates were revised. Perhaps surprisingly, not all of them were downward. With just one month left, it will be challenging for many of the banks to hit their S&P targets. Particularly since the S&P closed Friday at 1158, down 8 percent for the year. Back on Aug. 30, when the S&P 500 was at 1,212 – down 3.6 percent for the year – JPMorgan Chase analysts forecast that the index would end 2011 at 1,475. That was up from their previous estimate of 1,425. They thought investors would start to focus more on strong

Banks’ forecasts for Dec. 30, 2011

corporate earnings than the European debt crisis. UBS and Citigroup had also raised their forecasts by the end of August. But those forecasts are looking optimistic. Worrisome news about Europe and the budget debate in Washington keeps sending stocks down. For the S&P to hit JPMorgan’s target, it would have to rise 27 percent the last four weeks of the year. Historically, the S&P 500 averages a gain of 1.5 percent in December. Its biggest December climb was 11.2 percent in 1991. The index has risen in December 61 out of the last 84 years. Credit Suisse’s prediction for the S&P 500 to close at 1,100 shows its pessimism. That would be a 5 percent drop. The S&P 500 hasn’t fallen that much in December since 2002.

A look at consumer confidence

Consumer Confidence Index

Economists expect the Conference Board to report a modest rise in its Consumer Confidence Index for November on Tuesday. The index fell in October to its lowest since March 2009. That reflected uneasiness over the stock market’s volatility and frustration with the slow economic recovery. Retailers hope that despite their pessimism, consumers will spend freely for the holidays – as they did when confidence fell in the summer.

November car sales After automakers had their best October in four years, economists said sales would be strong through the end of the year. We’ll get November sales figures on Thursday. Car and truck sales contributed to a big rise in overall retail sales during October. So it’s clear that consumers, while they’re uneasy about the economy, are willing to spend to replace aging vehicles. SUVs and pickup trucks were among October’s best sellers.

Young teen fearful of future has lots of time on her side DEAR ABBY: I’m 14 and I’m terrified that I won’t know what to do once I’m in college and have to decide on a longterm job. I have a lot of interests, but none that would lead me toward a career. My teachers and the books I read say I should find my passion and follow it for the rest of my life. My problem is, I don’t have a stand-out passion I love intensely. I have an amazing family who would support me in any direction I choose, but I don’t know what that would be. I get good grades and work hard, and I believe I could achieve anything I choose. The problem is, I don’t know what I want to do. I know I’m young, but I worry all the time about my future and being stuck in a job I hate. I’m involved in lots of activities — student government, piano lessons, sports, service clubs and more — and I enjoy all of them. But none of them inspire a burning passion. Do you have any suggestions on how to find my passion? — NEEDS A DIRECTION, ATLANTA DEAR NEEDS A DIRECTION: Yes. And the first one is to relax and quit worrying about not having found your “passion” at 14. This isn’t the Middle Ages, when young people would apprentice themselves to a guild in which they would spend the rest of their lives. You are intelligent and only

beginning to explore your various talents. Y o u may excel Abigail in several Van Buren d i f f e r ent areas, Dear Abby which is good, because workers no longer necessarily stay in one kind of job for a lifetime. People are usually good at the things they enjoy, so slow down. Give yourself time to see where you excel. I am positive that if you do, you’ll find your passion(s) in a field you enjoy. DEAR ABBY: Four years ago my best friend’s mother lost her husband after a battle with cancer. She joined a grief support group and met a man who had lost his wife to cancer, too. Love blossomed and they will be married soon. Everyone is thrilled they have found each other. Along with a wedding gift, would it be appropriate to make a donation to a cancer charity in memory of their deceased spouses? I would like to honor the struggle that led the couple to each other, but don’t want to offend.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will maintain your solid stance at the calm center of a swirl of activity. You’ll love the show. It’s like there’s a parade going by just for your entertainment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Messages get mixed up, but that doesn’t have to stop you. A surge of creativity will help you do what traditional methods of communication will fail to accomplish. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are sincerely invigorated by the presence of others. Be bold enough to show just how thrilled you are to interact with people, and they’ll be charmed by your enthusiasm. You will make them feel important. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are receptive to trying new things, though you want to know that the risk will be worthwhile. You’ll take steps to avoid feeling “ripped off,” such as investigating further, reading testimonials and looking out for bad reviews. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are family members you would love to connect with more often, but life and distance stand between you. Bridging the gap is a matter of planning. Set aside some time to sort out the details of your next visit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want a person to possess certain qualities so badly that you may see these qualities regard-

less of whether they really exist. There’s a chance the individual in question will grow into the role you’ve cast. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In spite of Mercury’s retrograde, you have “mad-skills” in the conversation department, and you’re determined to use them. You’ll engage in the kind of talks that will stir your soul and nourish your imagination. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though a big project is now satisfactorily “in the can,” you still have a great deal ahead of you that needs tending. You’ll gather up your forces and look to the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because you are so honest with yourself, you’ll see through the facade that people try to present and into the way they actually are. You’ll note the frailty all around and turn your tender attention where it’s needed most. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you are specific and unambiguous, you will get the results you seek. Also, make it easy for others to help you. A simple question will get a simple answer. A compound question will get no answer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Much is going unsaid that could complicate matters. Identify and verbalize what you need to get

out of a transaction to make you consider it a success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There will be a bit of a mystery to solve, and it will come together like a puzzle, one piece at a time. Your persistence and a willingness to experiment will be key to resolving this one.

Today’s birthday What has been trying in the past will now be much easier for you to accomplish. Next month, you’ll be shown favor by those who are difficult to impress. January brings important financial transactions. You’ll shift your business strategy in February. Lifestyle upgrades come in May. Gemini and Virgo people contribute generously to your life. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 4, 44 and 18.

Celebrity profiles Sagittarian siren Katherine Heigl confessed, “People who know me well know that I have an opinion about pretty much everything.” With four natal luminaries in Sagittarius, perhaps all those opinions are based on the wide range of experiences Heigl has acquired by following her intense sense of curiosity. Jupiter in Leo, the sign of children, suggests that Heigl’s playful daughter brings her luck.

Holiday music from Bennett, Buble and more The Associated Press

Tony Bennett “The Classic Christmas Album” When you’ve been around as long as Tony Bennett, you don’t release an album of Christmas favorites, you put out a collection of the best Christmas songs recorded throughout your career. This greatest hits album compiles holiday tunes from the 85-year-old crooner’s repertoire over 40 years. He released his first holiday album, “Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album” in 1968. Over the years, he’s recorded Christmas music with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Count Basie Band. While these songs have all been heard before, there’s an eclectic magic to listening to them in succession. Maybe it’s the younger tone of his voice on early recordings like “My Favorite Things,” or the swagger on “Winter Wonderland.” The collection includes a lush mix of jazz, orchestral, and big band backgrounds to such holiday classics as “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” a peppy version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” and the beautiful choral tone of “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” — John Carucci

Various Artists, “Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album Vol. 2”

Christmas” and “Do You Hear What I Hear?” That’s OK and fine, if the powers that be wanted to include the show’s two co-winners on the album, but the final four? It just seems like a blatant plug for the reality competition. Regardless, everyone on the album can carry a tune, so “Glee” fans will likely appreciate the album. —Alicia Rancilio

Various artists, “This Warm December: A Brushfire Holiday, Volume 2” Someone liked this idea enough to put out a second volume, but this reviewer is not that someone. Featuring 13 tracks by 11 artists from the Brushfire stable (Zach Gill, G. Love, Rogue Wave, Jack Johnson, Bahamas, Neil Halstead, Zee Avi, ALO, Money Mark, Paula Fuga and Matt Costa), the arrangements are ho-hum and there’s not a singalong song in the bunch. The best of the baker’s dozen is an original tune by Johnson (”In the Morning”) that’s perfect if you’re planning a yuletide luau. The worst? Zee Avi making “Frosty the Snowman” even more depressing than the lyrics. There is some good news, though: Twenty-five percent of the profits from record sales support musical education. —Rob Merrill

Joey + Rory, “A Farmhouse Christmas”

The second Christmas album from the “Glee” cast starts out strong with Amber Riley’s version of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You”: It’s as fun to listen to as the original. Naya Rivera also does a great job pulling off a sultry rendition of “Santa Baby.” Darren Criss and Lea Michele, who always pair nicely in duets on the show, also sing “Extraordinary Merry Christmas.” The final four contestants on “The Glee Project” also lend their vocals to songs like “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town,” ‘‘Blue

If you feel the need to freshen up your holiday music collection, you could do much worse than this country duo. Joey is the woman and Rory is the guy always wearing overalls, even on the album cover. Yes, they’re a couple like that cute plus sign in their name implies. They harmonize better than most husbands and wives, though. Rory is a working songwriter when not recording with his wife and it shows in some of the lyrics. Sample from the album opener “It’s Christmas Time”: “We’ll eat too much and

swear again / that come New Year we’re getting in / the best shape that we’ve ever been / but we know we’re lyin’. / So pass the pie and one more roll / and pass me that remote control / oh, lookee here, I love this show! / It’s Christmas time.” There are only two holiday standards here — “Away in a Manger” and “Blue Christmas” — plus a cover of Merle Haggard’s “If We Make It Through December,” featuring background vocals by the man himself. The rest are non-traditional or original, with song titles like “What The Hell (It’s the Holidays),” ‘‘Come Sit on Santa Claus’ Lap” and “Let It Snow (Somewhere Else).” If you’re sick of the classics and need to have something festive in the background while you entertain or cook for family and friends this holiday season, this is a fine choice for any house, even without a farm. —Rob Merrill

Michael Buble, “Christmas” “Christmas” comes early with Michael Buble’s holiday record. It’s his second seasonal release, and it seems as if he’s got a knack for making cozy Christmas music. His smooth voice perfectly covers classics like “Silent Night,” ‘‘Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” and “Jingle Bells.” There’s even an original song called “Cold December Night.” Buble also covers Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” but adds his own twist by slowing it down. It sounds like a completely different song that is noteworthy in its own right. “Christmas” is an instant classic that would go nicely in anyone’s collection. —Alicia Rancilio

Mark O’Connor, “An Appalachian Christmas” The title’s misleading, with Mark O’Connor playing more like a violinist than a fiddler, and his guests include opera star Renee Fleming and jazz singer Jane Monheit. The stylistic sprawl

results in a set about as rustic as choir carols at Lincoln Center. O’Connor’s first holiday album includes new recordings but also previously released material dating back as far as 1987. Several tunes have little to do with Christmas, including “Ol’ Blue,” sung by James Taylor, and “Now It Belongs To You,” sung by Steve Wariner. Even so, this grab bag offers a few goodies. Fleming’s duet with O’Connor on “Amazing Grace” pairs two glorious instruments, and when she soars for an A-flat above high C to start the last line, it’s an unexpected present. Alison Krauss’ angelic soprano enriches Stephen Foster’s “Slumber My Darling,” and she’s backed by the string trio of O’Connor, Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer in a heavenly performance. O’Connor does some serious sawing on a Mannheim Steamroller-style rendition of “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” But much of the time he plays as if handcuffed, and a succession of mellow, undercooked tunes work best as background music. — Steven Wine

Marcus Roberts Trio, “Celebrating Christmas” Pianist Marcus Roberts’ trio takes the ordinary — 15 oft-heard holiday songs both sacred and secular — and turns them into something extraordinary by using them as vehicles for jazz improvisation. “Celebrating Christmas” is his second holiday record, coming 20 years after his solo piano “Prayer For Peace.” Roberts plays solo on three tracks. He turns “We Three Kings” into a restrained waltz; makes “Joy To The World” a modified piano rag, and only slightly embellishes the melody on “O Come All Ye Faithful.” He has a mastery of jazz piano styles as shown on “White Christmas” where the trio’s use of space, sudden shifts in tempo and changes in volume reflect the influence of pianist Ahmad Jamal’s 1950s trios. Drummer Jason Marsalis

After

(the youngest brother in the famed jazz family) also shows a wide range. He uses delicate brushwork on the ballad “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”; propels “Jingle Bells” forward with a galloping beat; and shows his New Orleans roots with his drum lines on “Little Drummer Boy,” creating tension by initially playing at a faster tempo than the other trio members. Bassist Rodney Jordan plays an elegantly stated recurring motif that drives “Carol of the Bells.” The trio’s intricate interplay is highlighted on “The Twelve Days of Christmas” as they change keys and find different ways to state the melody from day to day, turning what often can be a boring, repetitive song into something exciting. — By Charles J. Gans

David Ian, “Vintage Christmas” Jazz pianist David Ian treats the classics with a deft hand on “Vintage Christmas,” seamlessly melding the some traditional compositions with the perfect hint of lounge-meets-jazz phrasing. There’s a way to botch this approach, to make it too kitschy. Ian knows better and meanders from the traditional approach just enough to keep it interesting, but without too many extra instruments mucking up the arrangement. His minimalist piano work delivers a clean approach here. The best moments come when Ian is paired with vocals by Acacia, one half of the sisterduo group Tal & Acacia. Her tone is dreamy on “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” without excessive back-phrasing which some vocalists have employed on this standard. Ian best work is evident on his vocal-free rendition of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” with just some soft bass notes and drum work to back him up. His explorations with the melody are mild and it’s nice that he doesn’t meander off into a jazz jungle of unrelated riffs. —Ron Harris

No. 1 LSU ‘Badgers’ No. 3 Arkansas The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — Tyrann Mathieu answered the call for a game-turning play when LSU needed one most, and the top-ranked Tigers piled on from there. Mathieu -- nicknamed Honey Badger -- returned a punt 92 yards for a gametying score and the Tigers punished third-ranked Arkansas with 286 yards rushing, wiping out a 14-point deficit with a 41-17 win Friday that secured a spot in the SEC championship. “I could hear my teammates in my ear saying, ‘Man, we need you to go make a play,”’ Mathieu said. “I was able to help the momentum really go in our fa-

vor. “You have no idea how bad I just wanted to go out there and make a big play for our team. I was fortunate enough to be able to do that.” Kenny Hilliard, Spencer Ware and Jordan Jefferson all scored on the ground for LSU (12-0, 8-0 SEC), which is 12-0 for the first time and will play No. 13 Georgia next weekend in Atlanta. A win over the Bulldogs would assure the Tigers their third trip to the BCS title game in nine seasons. Though at this point, LSU might be able to get there even if it loses. The rivalry game with Arkansas (10-2, 6-2) was billed

as the biggest in Tiger Stadium since 1959, the last time two teams ranked in the top three clashed in Death Valley. Billy Cannon lifted No. 1 LSU to a 7-3 win over No. 3 Mississippi in that game with an 89-yard punt return for a score, so it seemed fitting that the Tigers would get a similar score against the Razorbacks. “That was a huge turning point in the game,” Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said. “We were trying to get the ball punted to the sideline, but he miss-hit it a bit and punted it to the middle. ... (Mathieu) made a great cut and made us miss at the point of attack. He made a great play.”

LSU trailed 14-7 when Mathieu fielded Dylan Breeding’s end-over-end kick at his own 8, started left, made a hard cut straight up field, then angled left again to break into the clear. “It made the statement that that lead was not going to stand up,” LSU coach Les Miles said. “Our defense was going to continue to play well and our offense was coming.” Cannon also made a gamesealing tackle on defense late in that classic game against Ole Miss.

RailCat Camp BY JAMES MCQUAID MURPHY jmurphy@dailycorinthian.com

What could draw together the likes of Dave Clark, third base coach for the Houston Astros, Jason Motte, closing pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals at the 2011 World Series, and catcher for the Minnesota Twins, Phillip Chapman? Hint: It’s no riddle. The answer? The first biannual RailCat Camp, hosted by Cross City Baseball Director Tyler Sutton at the Corinth Sportsplex on Dec. 10. Perhaps the truer answer is Sutton himself. Upon graduating from Oklahoma Christian University, he spent two years as an instructor at Dulin’s Sports Complex in Cordova, Tenn, after a brief stint as a professional pitcher for the Coastal Kingfish out of Houston. Despite the notoriety of the Kingfish (CBL) as one of the losingest teams in professional baseball, Sutton’s career has earned him a rapport with MLB players and coaches alike, a surprising rolodex of contacts he intends to tap for the benefit of local studentathletes. “We’re trying to get these RailCat camps going for both the spring and the fall,” said Sutton. “I figure it’ll be fun for the kids to meet some big-name guys and get some top-level instruction, and it could be good for Corinth to have more people of this caliber coming in.” Yet the scope of Sutton’s ambition is larger than this, with a focus on training local teams to compete in regional and national AAA tourneys hosted the US Please see RAILCAT | 2B

Motivated MSU clear favorite in Egg Bowl The Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State’s motivation on Saturday is clear — win a thirdstraight Egg Bowl against rival Ole Miss for the first time in 70 years and become bowl eligible in the process. As for the Rebels, it’s hard to tell if they’ve got any motivation remaining or are just

playing the final game because the schedule says so. Mississippi State right tackle Addison Lawrence said he expects Ole Miss to be pumped when the teams meet on Saturday night at Davis Wade Stadium, but also susceptible to a mental breakdown if things don’t go their way early. “If we jump on them I think

they’ll lay down,” Lawrence said. “I think they’re wanting to lay down in a way because of all the things that have been happening here recently. But they’re definitely going to come out excited, so we’ve got to match their intensity.” It’s hard to argue with Lawrence’s assessment. Ole Miss (2-9, 0-7 South-

eastern Conference) has been lethargic in two straight losses to Louisiana Tech and LSU, losing by a combined score of 79-10. The Rebels have zero momentum, with six straight losses overall and a 13-game SEC losing streak. They’re playing for a coach (Houston Nutt) who’s already been told he won’t return next season.

Rebel hoopsters sink Miami in overtime The Associated Press

OXFORD — Dundrecous Nelson scored 17 points, while Murphy Holloway added 13 points and a game-high 17 rebounds Friday night as Mississippi defeated Miami 64-61 in overtime. The Rebels (5-1) took the lead for good, 60-58, on a dunk by Holloway with 3:06 left in overtime and survived potential game-winning and game-tying shots by Malcolm Grant at the end of regulation and in overtime. Jarvis Summers had 13 points and Terrance Henry added 12 for Ole Miss. The

Rebels played without starting forward Reginald Buckner, who sat out due to a knee injury suffered in practice Thursday. He is expected to return in December. Ole Miss raced to a 17-0 lead in the opening 8 minutes and led 46-41 with 8 minutes left in regulation before Miami rallied to force overtime. Grant led the Hurricanes (4-1) with 22 points, including 6 of 12 from 3-point range. Grant’s final 3-point shot pulled Miami within 6261 with 21 seconds remaining in overtime.

Ole Miss followed Grant’s 3 with a pair of free throws from Summers with 20 seconds left to build the 64-61 cushion. Durand Scott added 13 points and Trey McKinney 12 for Miami. Scott had his final shot blocked by Nelson and Grant recovered the ball outside the 3-point line, but was forced to rush an unsuccessful 3 at the buzzer. Miami, which trailed 2925 at halftime, finished 22 of 60 (36.7 percent) from the field. Ole Miss was 19 of 50 (38 percent) from the field.

The Hurricanes were 8 of 13 (61.5 percent) from the free-throw line, while the Rebels finished 19 of 30 (63.3 percent) from the stripe. In overtime, Ole Miss converted 8 of 10 free-throw opportunities, including five from Summers. Miami managed only 2 of 4 in the extra frame, both from Scott. The win was the first at home for Ole Miss over an ACC opponent and marked its first win over an ACC team since a March 2008 quarterfinal win in the National Invitational Tournament at Virginia Tech.

DEFENSE

FROM PAGE 1B

safety instead of cornerback much of the game because of Eric Reid’s injury the previous week, had defensive highlights of his own, forcing two fumbles with strips, one of which he recovered. He now has six forced fumbles this season. His fifth was a strip of running back Dennis Johnson in LSU territory late in the first half. That set up a touchdown drive that put the Tigers ahead to stay. It was Mathieu’s third touchdown of the season, his second on special teams, the other coming on a fumble return. Arkansas took a surprising 14-0 lead on Tyler Wilson’s 13yard TD pass to Jarius Wright and Alonzo Highsmith’s 47yard fumble return, but LSU stormed back and outscored the Razorbacks 41-3 from there. “This football team down 14 points did not flinch,� Miles said. “There was never a question in anyone’s minds on that sideline we were going to respond.� LSU’s defense sacked Wilson five times (twice by Barkevious Mingo) and picked him off once on Morris Claiborne’s team-leading fifth interception of the season. Two plays after the pick, Jefferson ran 48 yards for his score on a quarterback draw that was wide open, making it 38-17. Wilson completed 14 of 22 passes for 207 yards, with 60 yards on a short pass that Cobi Hamilton turned into a long gain. The play put Arkansas in position to tie the game at 21 in the third quarter, but LSU’s defense forced a field goal that made it 21-17, and the Razorbacks never got closer than that again. “We played a great team and they came out on top,� said Wright, who came in leading the SEC with 100.2 yards receiving per game, but was held to only one catch by LSU. “They’re the No. 1 team in the nation. Of course, we’re upset about the loss because we definitely could have finished better.� Jefferson was 18 of 29 for 208 yards and one touchdown, a 9-yard pass to Russell Shepard that gave LSU the lead for good at with 59 seconds left in the first half. His first interception of the season kept Arkansas in the game in the third quarter, but otherwise he was excellent. Hilliard finished with a career-high 102 yards rushing on 19 carries, while Michael Ford rushed 11 times for 96 yards. “At halftime our offensive line came in and told us that, man, we were wearing them down and in the second half I think we can beat them up,� Hilliard said. “We came out in the second half and pounded the football right at them. I felt it out there.�

(USSSA, or “U-Triple S-A,� as Sutton refers to it). “I also want to focus on high school prospect teams and helping kids get recruited as they get older,� he added. “We want to turn the Sportsplex into a complete training and rehab center for baseball and softball, and even outfit it with a computer lab so that kids can focus better on their homework. “I want to encour-

age the academic aspect first, of course. That’s why I refer to these kids as studentathletes, to encourage college not just from the athletic recruiting side of it.� Furthermore, Sutton hopes to eventually expand on the bi-annual camp program to include skill, speed, and agility clinics ,along with regular hitting practices hosted by future instructors the likes of Clark, Motte, and Chapman. “In the future it would be good to incorporate the town more for any high profile attendees,� added Sutton. “I have no

idea what we could do, and of course I want to respect their privacy and not overload them, but it would be a really good chance to get these guys around town for a meet-andgreet with the locals.� With funding for the Sportsplex provided mostly by United Way, and without any additional local funding, Sutton’s vision may seem mind-boggling. Yet he speaks of it with a nonchalance most certainly born of confidence, having played for a professional league, and of pow-wowing with the likes of Clark, Motte, and Chapman.

Motte, well he used to work out at Dulin’s, and Phillip would come catch for him. Phillip also offered catching lessons there.� It’s not much as far as a dazzling explanation of the six degrees, but...

the four instructors, Sutton included. Each session will run for an hour and a half, with a primary focus on pitching, catching, and hitting, and a brief focus on developing defensive skills. Presently there are only a few spots left in the high school age bracket, otherwise the camp is booked solid, a good sign for Sutton and his vision. “I just hope people will keep a look out for this sort of thing in the future,� he concluded. “The more we do this, the more I hope it will grow in funding, since we can only take so many kids at a time.�

Why do so many people have AARP Medicare Supliment Insurance, insured by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company (UnitedHealthcare)? It could be the competitively priced plans. Or maybe the fact the AARP and United Healthcare names are recognized nationally. Here are a few more reasons why a Medicare supplement plan could meet your needs:

Tim Tebow

ROB GRONKOWSKI, TE, PATRIOTS Tom Brady’s favorite target hauled in four catches for 96 yards and two memorable trips to the end zone — a 52-yard sprint down the sideline that put the 6'6", 265-pounder’s speed on display and a 19-yard dive over the goal line that flipped Gronkowski onto his neck before the second-year star staggered to his feet and spiked the ball. Gronkowski now has 20 TDs in his first 26 games, breaking Bears Hall of Famer Mike Ditka’s record (31) for fewest games by a tight end to score 20 TDs. AARON RODGERS, QB, PACKERS This season, even when Rodgers is “frustrated” with his performance on Sunday, he’s still one of the best in the business. The frontrunner for MVP completed 23-of-34 passes for 299 yards, three TDs and one INT in a 35–26 victory over the Buccaneers, as the Packers improved to 10–0. Rodgers has passed for 3,168 yards, a career-high 31 TDs and only four INTs for a 128.8 passer rating, adding another two TDs on the ground on Green Bay’s run of perfection. MATTHEW STAFFORD, QB, LIONS In a battle of former No. 1 overall picks, 2009’s numero uno outplayed 2011’s top selection, as Detroit rallied to beat Carolina and Cam Newton, 49–35. The Lions outscored the Panthers 35–8 in the second half, becoming the first team since 1950 to earn three come-from-behind wins of at least 17 points in the same season. Stafford threw a career-best five TDs, while Newton tossed a career-worst four INTs. RAY RICE, RB, RAVENS In a battle for AFC North supremacy, Baltimore outlasted Cincinnati, 31–24 — despite playing without middle linebacker and leader Ray Lewis for the first time in 58 games. The “other Ray” was in tip-top shape, however, as Rice ran by the Bengals with 20 carries for 104 rush yards and two short-yardage TDs, while adding five catches for 43 yards through the air. The Ravens have now won 15 of their last 16 home games. VON MILLER, LB, BRONCOS Although Tim Tebow scored the game-winning TD with 58 seconds left in the Broncos’ 17–13 win over the Jets on Thursday night, Denver’s defense deserves as much or more credit for the dramatic come-from-behind victory. Miller led the charge with 10 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble, wreaking havoc off the edge and energizing the crowd, as the Broncos held the Jets to just 3-of-14 third-down conversions, forced six punts and created two turnovers.

■ The 49ers defense and special teams — led by four-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker and IDP superstar PATRICK WILLIS (85 tackles, four forced fumbles, two sacks, and one INT) and return man Ted Ginn Jr. (918 return yards, two TDs) — have carried Jim Harbaugh’s club. San Fran’s stop-unit is ranked No. 1 in scoring (14.5 ppg) and against the run (73.9 ypg). The inconsistent Ravens will be fantasy turkeys in prime time on Thanksgiving.

Battle of Bays closer than final score indicates; Aaron Rodgers “frustrated.” Vernon Davis (34) breaks Brent Jones’ team record for TDs by a tight end. Ben Roethlisberger has fractured right thumb but isn’t expected to miss time. Tom Brady exacts revenge on Chiefs in first meeting since knee injury at K.C. Following bye, Saints rested, ready to host Giants on Monday Night Football. Without Ray Lewis, defense stuffs Bengals with last-minute goal-line stand. Carolina joins Minnesota, Dallas on Detroit’s list of big comeback victims. Roddy White posts season-high 147 receiving yards in victory over Titans. Miracle at Meadowlands a V.Y. drive rather than D-Jax punt return this time. Win third straight overall, sixth in last seven meetings with rival Redskins. Matt Leinart career stats: 7–10 record, 14 TDs, 20 INTs, 70.8 passer rating. Jay Cutler breaks thumb on throwing hand, could miss up to eight weeks. Andy Dalton makes rookie mistakes, throws three INTs in loss at Baltimore. Vince Young does what Michael Vick has been unable to, leads winning drive. Tim Tebow not worried about apparent lack of support from John Elway. Darrius Heyward-Bey suffers scary neck injury but expected to return soon. Jake Locker leads two TD drives subbing for injured Matt Hasselbeck (elbow). Unable to stop Tim Tebow’s Broncos late; lose for second time in four nights. Fred Jackson injures leg in third quarter of Buffalo’s fourth loss in five games. Philip Rivers posts sixth straight multi-turnover game, Bolts 1–5 in that time. Mental mistakes result in nine penalties for 55 lost yards in loss at Packers. Remain in Beast Mode, notch back-to-back wins for first time all season. Score first TD at home since Oct. 2 — ending two-hour, 38-minute drought. Dominate division-rival Bills for third consecutive win following 0–7 start. Maurice Jones-Drew does LeBron-style powder toss in defeat at Cleveland. John Skelton throws three INTs, benched for Richard Bartel in loss at 49ers. Adrian Peterson carted off the field in second quarter with injured left ankle. Watch 24–7 second-quarter lead turn into embarrassing 49–35 loss to Lions. Matt Cassel out for season; Tyler Palko in over head at New England on MNF. Sam Bradford sacked five times, loses two fumbles that both result in TDs. Lose sixth straight, Washington’s worst losing streak since 0–7 start in 1998. Peyton Manning reportedly ‘okay’ with Indianapolis drafting Andrew Luck.

Winning Ugly Tim Tebow, Vince Young making “ugly” wins a habit By NATHAN RUSH Athlon Sports Editor

There was a time when Tim Tebow and Vince Young could do no wrong. Undeniably great college football players, Tebow and Young ran wild en route to winning BCS national titles at Florida and Texas, respectively. Success in the NFL was supposed to be harder to come by for the pair who often relied on their legs in spread option college offenses. The speed of pro defenses combined with unorthodox throwing motions — with Tebow’s long, lefty wind up and Young’s short side-armed flip — would surely sack the proven winners who in no way resemble prototype NFL pocket passers. But after two high-profile, comefrom-behind, admittedly “ugly” wins — the Broncos’ 17–13 upset of the Jets on Thursday night and the Eagles’ 17–10 victory over the Giants on Sunday night — Tebow and Young aren’t going down easy, and neither are the teams they lead. Tebow is 4–1 as a starter this year in Denver, after taking over a 1–4 club that had been quarterbacked by Kyle Orton. But the wins haven’t been pretty. The second-year signalcaller went 9-of-20 for 104 yards and a 61.2 passer rating, with eight carries for 68 yards and a TD on the ground against the Jets. But it was his 12-play, 95-yard game-winning drive — capped with a 20-yard trip to the end zone with 58 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter — that defined Tebow’s performance and added to the myth of the 6'3", 236-pound cult hero.

Vince Young’s winning percentage (64.6) is better than every QB outside of Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Joe Flacco.

“I trust him. I trust him with everything,” said Denver rookie linebacker Von Miller. “No matter how many interceptions he throws, no matter how many touchdowns he scores, that’s Tim Tebow and I’m going to ride with him to the end. I hope he shut up a whole bunch of critics today.” On Sunday night, Young produced similar results, struggling for three quarters before putting together a “dream” drive for the ironically-nicknamed “Dream Team” — a monicker V.Y. inadvertently gave the team. Subbing for an injured Michael Vick, Young threw three INTs before leading a game-winning drive that

took 18 plays and 8:51 off the clock. V.Y. converted six third downs, including a go-ahead scoring strike to Riley Cooper. Young is now 31–17 as a starter, a winning percentage that ranks seventh among active QBs. “Vince, stepping in for the great Michael Vick, that’s a tough thing to do,” said Eagles coach Andy Reid, “and he did it and the guys rallied around him.” Tebow and Young are polarizing personalities who throw wobbly passes. But both continue to win — playing well when it matters most. “I like winning,” said Tebow, “but I wish it wasn’t this stressful.”

PACKERS (10-0) AT LIONS (7-3) Green Bay is off to its first 10–0 start since 1962. That year, the Packers stumbled on the road against the Lions, suffering their first loss at Detroit in Week 11. This Thanksgiving Day game in the Motor City also sets up as a trap for the reigning champs, who have had backto-back short weeks, with a Monday night tilt in Week 10 and this week’s Thursday kickoff. DOLPHINS (3-7) AT COWBOYS (6-4) Miami and Dallas are a combined 6–0 the last three weeks. The team with the fewest mental mistakes — or Leon Lett moments — wins. 49ERS (9-1) AT RAVENS (7-3) NFL Network’s main event on Thursday night is a family affair that pits Jim Harbaugh’s 49ers against his older brother John Harbaugh’s Ravens. This marks the first time in the NFL’s 92-year history that brothers have headcoached against each other. In fact, a San Fran win coupled with a Seattle loss to Washington would crown the Niners NFC West champions. BILLS (5-5) AT JETS (5-5) Buffalo’s current three-game losing streak started with a 27–11 loss at home to the Jets in Week 9. If New York loses, they will complain about too much time off after a Thursday loss. BROWNS (4-6) AT BENGALS (6-4) The Buckeye State Bowl went Cincy’s way, 27–17, in Week 1. The Bengals need a season sweep of the Browns after losing two straight to AFC North rivals Steelers and Ravens. VIKINGS (2-8) AT FALCONS (6-4) Rookie Christian Ponder carries a 1–3 record into Atlanta, where Matt Ryan is 21–4 all-time. TEXANS (7-3) AT JAGUARS (3-7) Subbing for Matt Schaub, backup Matt Leinart looks to repeat Houston’s 24–14 victory against Jacksonville in Week 8. Pressure’s on. CARDINALS (3-7) AT RAMS (2-8) The Cardinals return to St. Louis, where the franchise played from 1960-87. Arizona took down St. Louis, 19–13, in Week 9. BUCCANEERS (4-6) AT TITANS (5-5) Albert Haynesworth returns to Nashville — his old stomping ground, so to speak. It will be hard to tell whether the 330-pound run-stuffer did his job if Chris Johnson runs like he did in the loss at Atlanta (13 yards on 12 carries). PANTHERS (2-8) AT COLTS (0-10) The worst team of 2010 travels to take on the worst team of 2011. Indy is coming off a bye, while Cam Newton has struggled in two straight games. Is this the week the Colts win? REDSKINS (3-7) AT SEAHAWKS (4-6) The Skins’ six-game losing streak is the worst since Dan Snyder paid $800 million for the team and Jack Kent Cooke Stadium in 1999. BEARS (7-3) AT RAIDERS (6-4) With Jay Cutler out with a broken thumb, Chicago turns to backup Caleb Hanie, who is making his first career start and is 8-of-14 for 66 yards and one INT in his four-year career. PATRIOTS (7-3) AT EAGLES (4-6) This was one of the most anticipated matchups of the year when schedules were released. Since then, Philly’s “Dream Team” has been sleepwalking through a disappointing season. BRONCOS (5-5) AT CHARGERS (4-6) Tim Tebow has 10 total TDs and two turnovers; Philip Rivers has 16 total TDs and 21 turnovers. STEELERS (7-3) AT CHIEFS (4-6) Tyler Palko’s first two career starts are national television games against the Patriots (34–3) and Steelers. In his first action under the lights, Palko threw zero TDs and three INTs in defeat. GIANTS (6-4) AT SAINTS (7-3) This Monday night party brings New Orleans native and Isidore Newman High School alum Eli Manning back home to face his daddy Archie’s old team, which also happens to be the same squad that upset his older brother Peyton’s Colts in the Super Bowl two years ago.

Cowboys have set themselves up for quite a finish The Associated Press

IRVING, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys did everything expected from them in November. They played four games and won them all. They didn’t exactly get better as they went along, and they didn’t exactly face the toughest foes in the toughest circumstances. Yet they always found a way to win, and there’s something to be said about that. It remains to be seen whether this group led by Tony Romo, DeMarcus Ware and rookie sensations DeMarco Murray and Dan Bailey can consistently beat winning teams in high-stakes games. But the bottom line on this recent surge is that they’ve put themselves in position to find out. The Cowboys (7-4) will head into the final five weeks of the season atop the NFC East. They’ll either be tied with the Giants or a game ahead of them, depending on what happens when New York plays in New Orleans on Monday night. “We needed to get going,”

Romo said. “We had some tough losses earlier in the year, and we were in position to win some games. At some point you’ve got to get on a roll and stack the wins together. Getting these four wins was very big.” Dallas and New York still have two meetings left, including the finale on the road on New Year’s Day. The Cowboys’ other three games are all against teams with losing records, but none are gimmes. They’ll be on the road against Arizona and Tampa Bay, and both are .500 at home, and they will play host to Philadelphia on Christmas Eve. The Eagles were the last team to beat the Cowboys, and they spanked them 34-7 in the most lopsided loss of coach Jason Garrett’s tenure. Philadelphia also is coming off a victory over the Giants and could be back in the division race by then. Thus, it all comes back to how Dallas plays down the stretch. Do well, and the Cowboys will make the playoffs. Struggle, and they’ll give Garrett and ownerGM Jerry Jones a better idea

of which players are and aren’t keepers in 2012 and beyond. “We’re trying not to think of it in the overall big-picture yet,” Romo said. “It’s strictly about the week-to-week and the process. ... At the end of the year, those things will add up and that’s what will be talked about.” Romo laughed as he said that, admitting he was parroting some of Garrett’s pet phrases. He knows that over the threeday weekend — the reward for having played three times in 12 days — everyone will be analyzing how far they’ve come and what they have left to return to the playoffs after a bottomingout season last year. The Cowboys wouldn’t be in such great shape without the emergence of Murray and Bailey. Murray was a third-round pick who was expected to help complement Felix Jones. The lockout and a hamstring injury slowed him so much that when Jones went out with an injury, Dallas didn’t immediately hand him the job. Then he ran for 253

yards in a game he didn’t start and there was no doubt they had a special player. Dallas is 5-1 since Murray became the featured runner. He’s gained 761 yards over those six games, which is more than NFL rushing king Emmitt Smith, fellow Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett or any other Cowboys running back has ever had. Against Miami on Thursday, he showed he can be a closer, the kind of guy who grinds out yards and burns the clock even when everyone knows that he’s coming. On five straight carries, he gained between 3 and 9 yards. He nearly broke one of those into a longer gain but had the presence of mind to fall down in bounds rather than risk getting shoved out of bounds and stopping the clock. Bailey won a preseason kicking competition that included a fellow rookie, the incumbent and two veterans. But he didn’t exactly win the job outright as incumbent David Buehler was kept for kickoffs and rookie Kai Forbath went on the non-foot-

ball injury list, giving Dallas a pair of options just in case. Buehler is now on injured reserve and Forbath isn’t likely to get a chance here. Bailey has made 26 straight field goals, one shy of matching the club record and 12 more than any rookie in NFL history. The last two games ended with him making a field goal, and he’s won four games this season with a kick in the final 2 minutes of regulation or in overtime. No kicker in NFL history had ever done that more than three times. That’s what the Cowboys have done for the last month. They pulled away from Seattle in the second half, crushed Buffalo and eeked out wins over Washington and Miami. The Redskins and Dolphins each have only three wins, so consider that a potential warning sign. Or maybe it’s a sign of a team that simply does what it takes to win. The answer will be revealed over the next five weeks.

No. 8 Houston pulls away for record 12th win The Associated Press

TULSA, Okla.— Facing a fourth down in a tight game, Patrick Edwards saw an opportunity to put No. 8 Houston in control. During a timeout, Edwards asked to be sent on a deep route to convert not only the fourth-and-1 but to go for more. “I told them, ‘If you run it, I’ll win,�’ Edwards said. “So, we called it and I scored.� Edwards’ 38-yard touchdown catch sparked a string of 28 straight points, and Houston pulled away to beat Tulsa 48-16 on Friday and earn a spot in next week’s Conference USA championship game. Case Keenum threw for 457 yards and five touchdowns and Edwards finished with 181 yards receiving and four scores as the Cougars (12-0, 8-0) set a school season record by winning their 12th game. The 12 straight wins also match the school’s longest winning streak, set over the 1990 and ’91 seasons. “12-0 is pretty good. That’s a pretty good position to be in,� Keenum said. “I couldn’t ask for anything else.�

Houston will go for more next Saturday, when they host either Southern Mississippi or Marshall in the CUSA title game. With a win, the Cougars will earn their first BCS bid and become from first team from the conference to play in the Bowl Championship Series. “Fifteen weeks ago, we set out for one goal and that goal has not changed all year,� coach Kevin Sumlin said. “I think a lot of people have tried to talk our team into all these other scenarios and stuff that’s happening out there “Our guys understand that and they’ve put themselves in a position to achieve that goal. Along the way, there’s been a bunch of records broken and a bunch of milestones crossed, but the ultimate goal for us from day one was to win the conference championship.� Keenum helped Houston pull away by hooking up with Edwards twice for touchdowns on fourth down in no man’s land. He found Edwards cutting across the field for a 33-yard score on fourth-

and-10 in the second quarter, then threw a deep ball to him for a 38-yard TD on fourthand-1 in the third quarter. “I think that that’s what championship teams do is come through in those big moments — the championship moments,� Keenum said. “We’ve got a chance to play for another championship at our place, which we couldn’t ask for anything more.� Edwards broke the school record by surpassing 100 yards receiving for the 16th time in his career and also broke the Conference USA career record for receiving yardage that was held by Rice’s Jarett Dillard. It figured to be the toughest test yet for Houston, facing C-USA’s top defense and a team that also came in without a loss in league play. Tulsa (8-4, 7-1) was allowing only 16 points per game in league play but couldn’t keep up once its offense started sputtering in the second half. “They have to go win a conference championship, but they are well deserving of a BCS bowl,� Tulsa coach Bill

Blankenship said. “We were playing pretty good coming in here and they shut us down pretty well.� Tulsa got only three points out of two drives with favorable field position in the third quarter. After Curnelius Arnick recovered a fumbled exchange between Keenum and running back Charles Sims, the Golden Hurricane got only 1 yard before settling for Kevin Fitzpatrick’s 51-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 20-16. Tulsa got the ball back again at midfield but again failed to get a first down and punted the ball back to set up an 80-yard scoring drive by the Cougars capped by Edwards’ 38-yard score. Sumlin credited his defense with giving the offense time to “get off the mat.� “We know as a defense that it is a matter of time before the offense can get going. And once they get rolling, it’s hard to stop them,� said linebacker Marcus McGraw, who had three tackles for loss among his 15 stops. Michael Hayes added a 1-yard plunge that had to be

reviewed before Houston was awarded a touchdown, and Keenum tacked on an 8-yard TD pass to Justin Johnson set up by Edwards’ 51-yard reception. Edwards’ final score came on a 14-yard pass from backup Cotton Turner, who replaced Keenum following G.J. Kinne’s interception with 6:55 left in the game. Kinne finished with 176 yards, one touchdown pass and two interceptions — both as he tried to mount a rally against a defense that hasn’t allowed more than seven fourth-quarter points in any game this season. “It’s a hard pill to swallow,� Kinne said, “but we lost to a better team today.� Fitzpatrick also matched his career-best with a 52-yard field goal that cleared the uprights easily with a steady wind gusting to around 35 mph, and he connected a 36-yarder. All four of Tulsa’s losses this season have come against teams ranked in the top 10 at the time — Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Boise State and Houston.
