Arrest made in Price murder Staff, wire reports

NEW ALBANY — Police on Monday charged a New Albany man with capital murder in the shooting death of the wife of the town’s high school football coach. New Albany Police Chief David Grisham said Craig Obrien Baker, 20, is being held without bond in the Union County jail. Police accuse Baker of fa-

tally shooting Amanda Price, 31. She was killed Dec. 5 as she took her dog into her family’s backyard. Baker is also charged with aggravated assault in the injury of Coach Ron Price, who was shot in the shoulder while responding to his wife’s screams. Ron Price has described the assailant a wearing dark clothes and having a covered face, but is unable to identify Baker,

Grisham said. Police have questioned Baker, but Grisham declined to say whether he admitted the shootings. A judge has appointed lawyers for Baker, and the case is expected to be presented to grand jurors early next year. Union County Circuit Judge Andrew Howorth ordered Baker held without bond. Grisham said police were

tipped to Baker’s alleged involvement. Thursday. Police searched Baker’s mobile home, within walking distance of the Price home. Grisham said they found a .380-caliber handgun, the same size used in the shootings. Police say they believe that Baker was looking for things to steal when he was interPlease see MURDER | 2

3 supervisors give final farewells BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The last meeting of the current term of office for the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Monday morning brought some farewells and reflections on the work of the last four years. It was the final meeting for outgoing supervisors Keith Fields, Jeff Patterson and Jeff Rencher. “When I started this job, I don’t

think I had any gray hair,” quipped District 2 Supervisor Jeff Patterson. “It’s been a challenge and I’ve enjoyed it.” Serving district 1, Keith Fields followed his late father, Lamar Fields. “My family and I have been honored the past 23 years to serve the county,” he said. “I’ve enjoyed working with y’all. I think we’ve accomplished a lot. We had a lot on us. We had a lot of battles to fight,

and I think we’ve done pretty well.” Board President Gary Ross recalled some of the challenges since the term began in 2008 while facing an enduring economic recession. “The first thing that hit us was ACT closing,” he said. “We were able to save those jobs.” He noted the county’s progress in getting the Kimberly-Clark industrial access road and regional jail

projects moving. “We’ve got one of the finest ones in the state of Mississippi,” Ross said of the jail. “I’m proud of what we have accomplished. And it is we.” County Engineer Ricky Newcomb, who has served for the past four years, said he has enjoyed the challenge and enjoyed working Please see SUPERVISORS | 2

11 kids still need Christmas angels BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree project is winding down, and 11 children could be left out if no adopters step forward today. While the project has again prompted much generosity from the community, “I have 11 children that I still need taken care of,” said Salvation Army Director Michelle Miles. “These are children (names) that were tak-

en off the tree but, for whatever reason, weren’t brought back.” Anyone who wants to make a better Christmas for the remaining children should contact Miles today by calling 287-6979. A quick turnaround will be needed on providing the gifts. The deadline has already passed for submitting Angel Tree gifts, but an exception is being made for this group of children. Each child’s name comes with clothing sizes and a requested

toy. Adopting children from the Angel Tree has been a popular Christmas project for civic, church and business groups. Miles is counting on individuals or groups to come through with 11 adoptions today. The Salvation Army recommends purchases totaling $50 to $75 for each child. Gifts should be placed in a black garbage bag with the Angel Tree tag on the outside and returned to The Sal-

vation Army. The Angel Tree project saw a slight increase in the number of children this year to approximately 138. Of the others that were adopted, “The children were provided for very nicely and I’m very appreciative,” said Miles. Children are added to the Angel Tree after a request is made by the parent or guardian and a screening process by The Salvation Army.

Female youth learn about ‘real world’ BY BOBBY J. SMITH

bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

A group of Corinth youths recently spent a day focusing on the future with “real world” lessons for life. Presented by the Corinth Sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. and the Alcorn County 4-H City Clovers, “Girl’s Day Out” — a life-lessons event for girls from age 13 to 18 — was held Saturday, Dec. 17, at the MSU Extension Office. “The purpose of the event is to provide the girls with vital information that will help serve as a blueprint as they travel through life,” said coorganizer Phyllis Keith-Young, an Alpha Kappa Alpha member. “There will not be anything presented to the participants that cannot be used at some point in their lives.” The event began with “Welcome to the Real World,” pre-

sented by Mary Linda Moore with the Mississippi State Extension Service. “Welcome to the Real World” was a twohour presentation including an activity similar to “a walkaround Monopoly game,” explained Keith-Young. First, participants drew a slip of paper telling their marital status, occupation, the number of children they will have and their salary. With this information in hand they traveled to 10 different stations where they used their budgeting skills to select housing, child care, groceries, transportation and more. At one station they picked an “unknown” card — which may be one of unforeseen fortune (extra money) or unforeseen bad luck (an unexpected bill). If they found themselves in money trouble they could visit Please see GIRLS DAY | 2

Oasis: Resource Center for Women gets new name BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

A familiar place to turn for those struggling with unplanned pregnancies and similar life-changing crises will get a new name on Jan. 1 to reflect its expanded resources and mission. The start of the new year will bring a transformation for the Resource Center for Women to Oasis Medical Center. Executive Director Martha Jobe said the name is meant to better depict what they are trying

to be in the community and the expanded services they are now able to offer. “The center will continue to be a place, an oasis, where women and men can come for refuge, relief and a pleasant contrast from this world, to be loved by God and to be offered living water ... to choose life for themselves and their children,” Jobe said in an article announcing the change in the organization’s newsletter. Over the past several years, the center has seen a major

expansion of its services. They now have a volunteer medical director, two registered nurses on staff and offer free medical services including pregnancy testing, ultrasound and testing for sexually transmitted diseases and infections for both men and women. They will soon be able to offer free treatment for STDs as well. They also continue to offer information on pregnancy options, classes on parenting and preparing for a new baby, adoption referrals and edu-

cation and support for those who have had abortions. Jobe said she feels the new name was a gift from God and an answer to prayers seeking a new identity for the center that has served the community for so many years. “It was just amazing the way the name came to me,” she said. While the name on the outside may be different, Jobe said the center’s core mission Please see CENTER | 2

Judge orders response to suit in slaying Associated Press

JACKSON — A judge has given an 86-year-old man, accused of killing his wife 15 days in which to answer a wrongful death lawsuit or face a $3,500 sanction. McKinley Lott is charged with murder in the 2008 death of his 72-year-old wife. Authorities say Vera Lott was shot to death at the couple’s home on July 12, 2008. Family members of Lott’s wife are suing him and his daughter, Dorothy Booker, who has power of attorney over his affairs. After not getting a response from the two by Nov. 5, Vanecca Green, Sunday’s Clarion Ledger

reported that an attorney for the victim’s family, asked a judge to compel them to answer. Granting the request, Circuit Judge Tomie Green, no relationship to Vanecca Green, on Dec. 8 ordered McKinley Lott and Booker to respond. “I don’t know anything about it. I haven’t received anything,” Booker said late last week via telephone when asked about the lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed as prosecution of McKinley Lott on a murder charge has been on hold indefinitely. Last year, Circuit Judge Winston Kidd ruled the

elderly man incompetent to stand trial based upon Ridgeland psychiatrist Dr. Mark Webb’s examination. After questioning Lott during a hearing, Kidd said he didn’t find anything to refute Webb’s conclusions. Lott was ordered to the Mississippi State Hospital at Whitfield initially to see if treatment could improve his ability to stand trial. Webb’s report stated that would be highly unlikely. McKinley Lott has said he has no recollection of shooting his wife at their Jackson home on July 12, 2008. She died from a shotgun blast to the upper torso. Vanecca Green said Vera

Lott’s family is unhappy that McKinley may never be brought to justice. “They want justice,” Vanecca Green said. Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith has said his office must consider Lott’s physical and mental condition. Family members have said Lott suffers from cancer and bouts of dementia. Then-Jackson police Detective Reginald Cooper testified during Lott’s preliminary hearing that Lott told police he had drank more than a pint of alcohol the day of his wife’s death.

has not changed. She said they are dedicated to providing a safe, loving, supportive place for those struggling with decisions about an unplanned pregnancy to find information, support, services and resources. This is actually the third time the center has changed its name. It was founded in 1995 as Sav-A-Life of Corinth. In 2006 the name was changed to the Resource Center for Women to reflect an expansion of services. Medical servic-

es were added in 2007. The center is a nonprofit, 501c3 organization and depends on donations for its existence. Anyone interested in getting involved by helping support the center’s mission can call Jobe at 287-8001 or visit www.supportrcfwcorinth.org for more information.

with a financial counselor to learn where they should cut back to balance their budgets. “In past instances, I have seen participants having to trade in their luxury vehicles for one that was more affordable,” Keith-Young noted. “It teaches them about money management.”

Other presentations included: Female Health with Dr. Shantwania Buchanan; Table Etiquette with Mary Britton; Mental Health with Ashley Saulter; and Health and Nutrition with NaKeitra Hill. The steering committee for the program included Sorors Anitha Keith, Lena Mitchell, Janet Sherer, Maya Mayes and Phyl-

lis Keith-Young. Other Corinth members of the sorority are Ella Fowler, Mable Claire King, Linda Jones, Mary Thomas and Albertine Warren. “We are extremely happy to offer this type of program to our local girls,” said Keith-Young. “Our goal was to recruit 50 participants for our first Girl’s Day Out, with hopes of growing into a larger

function in the future.” The Corinth Sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. are currently looking at hosting a Spring Girl’s Day Out, but catering to younger girls with different subject matter, Keith-Young said. The Girl’s Day Out organizers wish to thank their sponsors, Mr. Tommy Wilson and Subway of Corinth; The Alliance; and

City Clovers 4-H Club. “The donation of the lunch from our local Subway owner was very vital to the success of our program. The Alliance is donating goody bags for each of the participants and we are grateful for those also. With the economy being where it is today, it’s sometimes a strain on local businesses to donate. Therefore a big

‘Thank you’ is definitely in order,” said Keith-Young. Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) is the first Greeklettered sorority established and incorporated by African American college women. It was founded in 1908 at Howard University in Washington D.C. and incorporated in 1913. Phyllis Keith-Young contributed to this report.

New Sherlock Holmes, ‘Thought-provoking’ BY TERRY BURNS Movie Critic

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, PG13, ***1/2,Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Noomi Rapace, Rachel McAdams, Jared Harris, Stephen Fry; Warner Bros film; Director Guy Ritchie; length — 129 minutes “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows” begins

with a bang and ends with a surprise suppressed by a clue. It is very important to pay attention in life as well as during a Sherlock Holmes movie. The plot is not just exactly “Elementary, my dear Watson.” It requires observation, listening skills, and knowing the devious mind of Sherlock Holmes. The audience has the ability to look inside the

thought processes, scientific methods and genius of Holmes. This is a smart and intelligent movie with enough action to keep audiences searching for the next chapter inside the Machiavellian mind of Holmes. How can the audience resist the research required in order to find the pieces of the unsolved puzzle?

Romney betting old rules apply BY MICHAEL BARONE MANCHESTER, N.H. — “We’re not going to lose in New Hampshire.” So says Mitt Romney’s state coordinator, Jason McBride. Stuart Stevens, the Romney campaign’s TV ad-maker, expresses similar confidence. Asked if Romney might finish second in New Hampshire, his answer is an unhesitating “no.” Whether that confidence is well founded may determine the fate of the candidate who has been the on-and-off frontrunner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. There are four contests in January -- the Iowa caucuses, and then the primaries in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida. Romney currently trails Newt Gingrich in polls in three of the four. Only in the Granite State does he cling to the lead he has held in every poll there since April 2010. If New Hampshire follows the pattern of past primaries, Romney should be headed for a win. In 2008, he only narrowly lost the state, 37 percent to 32 percent, to John McCain. He’s been running ahead of that 32 percent in almost all polls this cycle. He has been building an organization replete with field directors and voter-identification efforts since last May. An absentee ballot drive is getting underway. McBride is confident that this organizational effort will deliver. “At the end of the day, the ground game is going to matter.” Romney has the support of seven of the 10 county sheriffs, of dozens of state legislators, of legions of Republican activists. Romney signs vastly outnumber those of other candidates on lawns and along highways. His ads are on the air on Manchester’s Channel 9 and will start airing soon on Boston stations. The efforts of other candidates who have followed the traditional playbook so far seem to be falling short. Polling suggests that Ron Paul may double the 8 percent he won here in 2008. Jon Huntsman may also break into double digits. He has concentrated his efforts in New Hampshire and has put together an organization with six full-time field representatives and a 140-person leadership team. His numerous campaign events attract serious and attentive audiences. But they tend to draw about 75 to 150 people, as compared to 250 for Romney. By way of comparison, the campaigns for Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann are invisible here. Rick Santorum has an office with two paid staffers but has attracted just a handful of volunteers. Under the old rules, then, Romney seems to have constructed an impregnable firewall in New Hampshire, able to withstand the surge for Newt Gingrich that has been sweeping much of the country. But do the old rules still apply? Sam Pimm, hired a week ago to manage Gingrich’s voter identification and get-out-the-vote efforts in the state, is not so sure. He helped train candidates that enabled New Hampshire Republicans to gain 122 seats in 2010. Pimm says the Gingrich campaign has hired 15 full-time staff, all locals, in the last two weeks and has made 50,000 phone calls to voters in the last seven days. New technology has made political communication much easier, faster and cheaper than it was even a few years ago. VOIP software makes it possible for volunteers to make phone calls from home in a way that campaigns can control and monitor. The Gingrich campaign seems to have a more difficult task than the Romney campaign. Polling indicates that Romney’s support has been relatively constant over a long period, making it easier for the campaign to identify and keep in touch with those voters. Mitt Romney is betting that Rath is right -- and that the old rules still apply.

by forcing them to deplete their funds. Besides that, they say reserve funds help them juggle their bill-paying throughout each academic year. Districts with little in reserve say they can’t spend what they don’t have. The Joint Legislative Budget Committee recommends an overall state spending reduction of 2.3 percent for the coming fiscal year. A committee document shows most reductions would be between 1 percent and 15 percent. The committee recommends level funding -- no increases or decreases -- for elementary and secondary schools and for community colleges, and a 1.9 percent reduction for universities. The committee suggests level funding for mental health and reductions of 2.8 percent for prisons, 6.9 percent for Medicaid, 15.9 percent for the public safety and 19.6 percent for the Department of Health. One of the biggest recommended cuts is 46.2 percent for the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. Budgeting for fiscal 2013 will be difficult because the

economy is still recovering from the recession and federal aid is dropping off. Like most years, agencies collectively are requesting more money than the state is expected to generate in taxes, fees and other forms of revenue. That means policymakers will say “no” more often than they say “yes.” Only an elite few members serve on the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, the group that has the most influence over spending decisions. The House speaker and the lieutenant governor take turns as chairman, year to year. The speaker appoints six other House members, and the lieutenant governor appoints six senators. A big turnover is guaranteed on the Budget Committee. For the past eight years, only Democrats have served on the group from the House. Now, Republicans are taking control of the House for the first time since Reconstruction. Three of the seven Budget Committee members from the Senate are not returning to the Legislature.

one of the better presidents. Do we wish we had another Ronald Reagan? We could certainly use one. But we have to play the hand we were dealt. And the Reagan card is not in the deck. While the televised debates are what gave Newt Gingrich’s candidacy a big boost, concrete accomplishments when in office are the real test. Gingrich engineered the first Republican takeover of the House of Representatives in 40 years — followed by the first balanced budget in 40 years. The media called it “the Clinton surplus” but all spending bills start in the House of Representatives, and Gingrich was Speaker of the House. Speaker Gingrich also produced some long overdue welfare reforms, despite howls from liberals that the poor would be devastated. But nobody makes that claim any more. Did Gingrich ruffle some feathers when he was Speaker of the House? Yes, enough for it to cost him that position. But he also showed that he could produce results. In a world where we can make our choices only among the alternatives actually available, the question is whether Newt Gin-

grich is better than Barack Obama — and better than Mitt Romney. Romney is a smooth talker, but what did he actually accomplish as governor of Massachusetts, compared to what Gingrich accomplished as Speaker of the House? When you don’t accomplish much, you don’t ruffle many feathers. But is that what we want? Can you name one important positive thing that Romney accomplished as governor of Massachusetts? Can anyone? Does a candidate who represents the bland leading the bland increase the chances of victory in November 2012? A lot of candidates like that have lost, from Thomas E. Dewey to John McCain. Those who want to concentrate on the baggage in Newt Gingrich’s past, rather than on the nation’s future, should remember what Winston Churchill said: “If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost.” If that means a second term for Barack Obama, then it means lost big time.

Southaven mayor was a big tipper on city tab Associated Press

SOUTHAVEN — Receipts show Southaven Mayor Greg Davis often left generous tips when he was charging meals and drinks to the city. The Mississippi auditor has demanded Davis repay more than $170,000 for personal expenses billed to taxpayers. The Commercial Appeal used a Freedom of Information request to obtain Davis’ receipts that the auditor gave Southaven officials. The newspaper reports that Davis left a $100 tip for a $38 dinner of grilled fish and a

martini this past June at Mesquite Chop House in Southaven. A month later, he bought a $37 round of beers at the restaurant and tipped $100. After a dinner for legislators and attorneys at Mint Restaurant in Ridgeland, Davis left a $1,000 tip on a $2,509 bill. That dinner included two bottles of Opus One wine for $415 each. The Commercial Appeal reported that by this past Friday, Davis had repaid about $96,000. Southaven aldermen originally approved paying Da-

vis’ expenses and now say they’re reviewing hundreds of pages of the documents to see whether some of the receipts were for legitimate city business. Aldermen say they expect to go into executive session Tuesday night to discuss Davis’ receipts. The auditor’s office confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday that Davis billed the city for the $67 purchase at Priape, which describes itself on its website as “Canada’s premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop.”

DeSoto schools’ legal tab rises with enrollment Associated Press

HERNANDO — DeSoto County schools are seeing an expensive side effect of rapid enrollment growth in recent years. The district spent $1.26 million for lawyers’ work between 2009 and 2011, The Commercial Appeal reports. DeSoto County, just south of Memphis, Tenn., has been the fasted growing county in Mississippi the past several years. It now has the largest school district in the state, with 32,311 students in

40 schools. That’s a 131 percent increase over 1991-92, when 13,946 students were enrolled. Superintendent Milton Kuykendall said the expanding legal tab is not unusual. “Large school districts are big targets,” Kuykendall said. “School districts must expend a lot of effort and money to defend themselves from lawsuits and make sure all contracts and actions of the school board are legal actions.” In August, the DeSoto schools had a legal battle with the Wisconsin-

based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which successfully requested that the district stop prayers before football games over the public address system. In February, the American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi and the DeSoto schools settled two lawsuits involving alleged gang activity after school system officials adopted a revised gang policy. The ACLU claimed the old policies were “overbroad” and violated students’ due-process rights.

Colleges in economic partnerships BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press

JACKSON — One higher education leader says Mississippi’s universities could expect dividends from getting more involved in economic development and job training. University of Southern Mississippi President Martha Saunders said in an interview with The Associated Press that USM is working with local and state agencies to recruit new industries and expand existing ones. USM has several programs with potential to help in job creation, including a nationally recognized polymer science program, a marine life research center on the Gulf Coast and a program to help sports and other venues to improve security and protect themselves from attack. Higher education in Mississippi has faced tight budgets the past several years, as have many parts of state government. Higher education commissioner Hank Bounds said that since the late 1990s, Mississippi’s universities have received an increasing percentage of their funding from tuition and a decreasing percentage from taxpayer dollars. He said the pattern is taking place in many other

states, as well. The Mississippi Joint Legislative Budget Committee last week released its spending recommendations for fiscal 2013, which begins July 1. The plan includes a suggested 1.9 percent cut in funding for universities. Bounds had expected another suggested budget reduction for the universities. He said the eight public universities have taken cuts in the past three years but had federal aid to make up for it. Bounds has told lawmakers that federal earmarks have been stopped and stimulus dollars are phasing out. Bounds said he’s also concerned about the future of research dollars and Pell grants. Saunders also sees that problem. She said the three largest schools — USM, Mississippi State and the University of Mississippi — operate almost exclusively on federal grants for many research programs, and the money is drying up. She said the competition now is to fund research that generates more dollars. “We prefer competitive grants, and we compete very well,” Saunders said. Saunders said USM is helping train the next generation of scientists who could deal with the next oil spill or the next marine crisis. It is what

Saunders calls a university system involved “in a little bit of everything.” Saunders said economic development is an expanding arena for higher education. She cited Bounds’ recent chairmanship of the Mississippi Economic Council’s Blueprint Mississippi. Blueprint, now being honed for presentation to lawmakers in January, recommends getting education agencies more involved in business recruitment. Saunders said she has worked with the local Area Development Partnership. “We work with the ADP when they are courting businesses. I have traveled from time to time. I think it is good for a business to hear from the president of the local university that ‘Yes. We can provide for your workforce needs,’” Saunders said. She said USM’s Trent Lott National Center for Excellence in Economic Development & Entrepreneurship works to create a climate that provides more jobs for graduates and link higher education resources with economic development agencies. Saunders said part of center director Rick Duke’s job is use USM’s resources to help graduates find jobs, especially ones that would keep them in Mississippi.

House, Senate at odds over payroll tax cut BY ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The House and Senate barreled toward a collision Monday over some of the chief ingredients of President Barack Obama’s recipe for reviving the economy, with tax increases and jobless benefit cuts awaiting millions of Americans on New Year’s Day if the dispute is not resolved. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he won’t renegotiate an extension of payroll tax cuts and unemployment coverage unless the House first approves a short-term bipartisan version the Senate has overwhelmingly approved. House Republicans strongly oppose that bill. Earlier in the day, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters that he expects the House to reject the Senate bill Monday evening and then request talks. “This is a question of whether the House of Representatives will be able to fulfill the basic legislative function of passing an overwhelmingly bipartisan agreement in order to protect the economic security of millions of middle-class Americans,� Reid said in a written statement. The Senate passed a two-month extension of the tax cut and un-

employment benefits on Saturday with overwhelming support from senators of both parties and the backing of Obama. It had been negotiated by Senate Democratic and GOP leaders after they could not agree on how to pay for a more expensive, year-long measure. After that vote, House Republicans told their leaders that they strongly opposed the Senate bill, complaining it lacked serious spending cuts and was too short. Boehner and other top House Republicans then said they opposed the Senate-approved bill. Monday morning, Boehner told reporters that the House would reject the Senate-passed bill but said he didn’t think it would be hard for the two sides to bridge their differences. Unless Congress acts, 160 million workers on Jan. 1 will see a 2-percentage-point increase in the Social Security payroll tax that is deducted from their paychecks and benefits for millions of long-term unemployed people will start to expire. “It’s time to stop the nonsense. We can resolve these differences and we can do it in a way that provides certainty for job creators and others,� Boehner said at a news conference, al-

though he provided no estimate on how long it might take to produce a compromise. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said lawmakers would not let the tax increase kick in, but he did not say how they would resolve the dispute. “We are going to stay here and do our work until we guarantee that no one faces a tax increase in the year ahead,� Cantor said in a statement. The leaders’ comments came after a chaotic weekend in which Senate leaders first failed to agree on a fullyear bill, then coalesced around the two-monthextension that passed overwhelmingly, only to spark a revolt among GOP conservatives in the House. The revolt of the rank and file placed Boehner and Republicans in a difficult position, just as it appeared they had outmaneuvered Obama by assuring that the legislation would require him to make a swift decision on construction of a proposed oil pipeline. Obama had announced he would put off the issue until after the presidential election in 2012 rather than decide the fate of a project that divided usual Democratic allies — environmentalists opposing and several labor unions supporting.

National Zoo gets $4.5 million for panda breeding Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The National Zoo announced a $4.5 million gift Monday to fund its giant panda reproduction program for five more years. Philanthropist David M. Rubenstein visited the

pandas with China’s ambassador to the United States to announce the gift. Rubenstein is a cofounder and managing director of the Washington-based private equity firm The Carlyle Group. He is also on the board of

The Miracle of Jesus’ Birth There were many births in Israel on that day when Jesus was born, but his was no ordinary birth. There never has been another like it before or since, for His was a virgin birth (Matt. 1:23). Though the doctrine of Jesus’ virgin birth is openly treated in some quarters as a fable, this writer states unequivocally his belief in the unique nature and supernatural character of Christ’s birth. Jesus had a human mother but no human father�..for that which is conceived in her (Mary, RJ) is of the Holy Spirit� (Matt. 1:20). The truthfulness of the virgin birth is of tremendous importance for the following reasons: 1. IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE SCRIPTURAL RECORDS. The Bible states that Jesus was virgin-born (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:18, 20, 23; Lk. 1:34-35). If it could be proven that the Bible is wrong in this regard, man would be forced to cast the whole Bible aside as being unreliable.

How grateful every Christian should be for Jesus’ unique birth. A religion in which the virgin birth is rejected is something other than Christianity. While others may utilize this time of year for commercial enterprise, may every child of God pause to think upon the real signiďŹ cance of Chirst’s birth.

2. IT WAS NECESSARY TO MAKE POSSIBLE THE INCARNATION. The word “incarnationâ€? refers to the divine Christ taking on human form and nature. If Jesus were the Son of God made esh without a miraculous birth, such a person as God Incarnate never could have been. Jesus is called the “only begotten Sonâ€? of God, that is, the “only one of His kindâ€? (John 3:16). How could that be if He were the son of Joseph according to the ordinary course of nature? Jesus’ birth was the wonderful and mysterious union of the divine and human, of God and man. This took place when Jesus (who was God - John 1:1) was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the virgin Mary (who was human). 3. IT IS NECESSARY FOR MAN’S REDEMPTION. Hebrews 2:17 states, “It behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.â€? Had Jesus’ life and death not been that of a man it would have no efďŹ cacy for man. Through his virgin birth, Jesus became human that he might sacriďŹ cally offer himself in behalf of humanity.

Don’t expect any big surprises from the government’s report on housing starts for November. The Commerce Department is expected to say that the number of houses that builders began working on last month was barely changed from October’s weak level. The key figure in the report will be the number of building permits issued -- an indicator of builders’ plans for the future. Permits rose 11 percent in October.

The Oracle on 2012?

ConAgra says ‘ouch’

Unless Oracle has something unusual in its fiscal second quarter earnings report, investors will focus on what the company expects the tech business to look like next year. In particular, how much damage Europe’s economic problems are likely to inflict on U.S. tech companies. If it looks like software sales are going to take a hit, expect Oracle’s stock to dive. Twothirds of its revenue comes from software.

If you think inflation isn’t a problem, you might be surprised by what food maker ConAgra has been paying for ingredients. ConAgra said in September that it still faced high inflation, unlike other companies that were seeing a moderation of increases in prices for ingredients. ConAgra expects its costs to rise as much as 10 percent this year. Its fiscal second-quarter earnings report comes out today. Look for its income to fall.

Freeze tackles reviving program BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press

OXFORD — Hugh Freeze has spent his first weeks as Mississippi’s football coach playing catch-up, constantly on the road or on the phone trying to convince prospects to give the Rebels a chance. He said it’s been encouraging experience. It’s also been a humbling one. “We’ve been running wide open for about eight days now,” Freeze said. “Trying to make up some ground in recruiting is a priority. We are behind. We acknowledge that. But we’re also glasshalf-full guys and think that we’ll do OK in this recruiting class.” An optimistic outlook is probably best for the 42-year-old. Before accepting the challenge at Mississippi, Freeze led Arkansas State to a 10-2 record and the Sun Belt Conference regular season title.

New Mississippi football coach Hugh Freeze answers reporters’ questions at an assembly Monday at the University of Mississippi in Oxford. Freeze replaces four-year coach Houston Nutt. The Senatobia, Miss., native was hired partly because of recruiting ties in Tennessee and Mississippi, and all those connections are being

put to the test as Freeze tries to assemble a decent class in the aftermath of one of the worst seasons in Ole Miss history.

Brady, Pats slow down Tebow, Broncos BY ARNIE STAPLETON Associated Press

DENVER — Not this time, Tim Tebow. Not with Tom Brady on hand. Brady threw for two touchdowns, ran for another and the New England Patriots shut down Tebow’s lategame heroics and clinched a playoff berth with a 4123 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. “It was a really good day for us,” Brady said. “Very emotional game. It was really rocking early. We showed some mental toughness.” The Patriots (11-3) won their sixth straight game and another AFC East title by bouncing back from an early 17-6 deficit and an awful first quarter in which they were outgained on the ground 167 yards to 4. This time, there was no last-minute magic from Tebow, who had guided the Broncos (8-6) to four straight fourth-quarter comebacks and six straight wins. Instead of another slow start followed by a fantastic finish, the Broncos started fast and then fizzled. They scored on their first three possessions and then

Broncos needed a big game against a big QB to prove to themselves and others that they were not just a curiosity but a contender. They didn’t get it on this day. “We showed today that we’re not ready to go to the playoffs and make a push,” Bailey said. “We’ve got to get better and we only have two or three weeks to do it. If we don’t, then we’ll be sitting home.” For a sixth straight season.

With their first loss since Oct. 30, the AFC West-leading Broncos face a tougher path to the playoffs, with a trip to Buffalo next week followed by a season finale against Kansas City, which ended Green Bay’s 19-game winning streak Sunday behind Kyle Orton, the player Tebow replaced in Denver. “I definitely feel like we’re all right,” said Tebow, now 7-2 as Denver’s starter. He threw for 194 yards and ran for 93 yards and two scores but was sacked four times, including a 28-yard loss in the fourth quarter. “I thought he improved,” coach John Fox said. “He’ll continue to improve. This was a setback, no doubt about that. But sometimes setbacks are setups for bigger things to come.” After all, the last time Tebow lost, to Detroit on Oct. 30, he was put on notice that his starting job was a weekto-week proposition, and Tebow won his next six starts. The one thing Tebow and the Broncos haven’t been able to do is keep up with the league’s elite passers. Denver has faced four QBs currently Please see BRADY | 9

Brees, Brady lead charge to passing records Associated Press

Drew Brees and Tom Brady are leading NFL quarterbacks on a record-setting pace this season. Saints star Brees has 11 300yard passing games in 2011, the most in a single season. There have been 105 300yard passing performances this year, the most collectively

in a season — with two weeks remaining on the schedule. Brees also had 412 yards through the air in Sunday’s win at Minnesota. He went over 40,000 yards passing for his career and became the first quarterback to top 350 yards passing in a game seven times in one season. “I’m as comfortable now

in this offense as I’ve ever been,” Brees said. New England’s Brady threw for two TDs in a win at Denver and has 35 touchdowns passing in 2011. He joins Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks with at least 35 TD passes in three seasons. Rookies also are setting marks.

Cam Newton and Andy Dalton each have passed for more than 3,000 yards, the first time two rookie QBs have done it in the same season. Newton, the No. 1 overall draft pick in April by Carolina, is 17 yards away from Peyton Manning’s rookie record of 3,739 yards passing. Cincinnati’s Dalton is at 3,012.

Loss doesn’t run out the clock on Tebowtime BY TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist

Midway through a not-sofunny “Saturday Night Live” sketch, an actor playing Jesus was in the locker room discussing Denver’s winning streak with what was supposed to be Tim Tebow and his teammates. After taking credit for helping the Broncos win six in a row, he was told the New England Patriots were coming to town next. “Oh, boy. Really? Wow. Did not know that,” he said. “That’s gonna to be a tough one.” It was, though it’s hard to blame Tebow for the loss Sunday that derailed — at least temporarily — the cultural phenomenon that was sweeping the country. Without Tom Brady running the New England offense with his usual cool efficiency, this game might have ended like the

Coming back is one thing. Coming back against a quarterback that knows a little something about fourth-

quarter dramatics himself is quite another. The Patriots weren’t going to make the kind of mistakes that doomed other teams against Tebow in the fourth quarter. Bill Belichick wasn’t going to order Brady to hand the ball off to protect a lead only to have the strategy backfire. The better quarterback played like the great quarterback he is. The better team won, just like they were supposed to. There would be no Tebowtime this time. There was, however, something about the way Tebow and the Denver offense played that — along with an Oakland Raiders loss — had to make the Broncos and their fans feel pretty good about themselves. It sure didn’t get the relentPlease see TEBOW | 9

FREEZE: Rebels try to

ascend in tough climate CONTINUED FROM 8

Pro football NFL standings, schedule

said. “So we look forward to it.” The challenge certainly appears daunting. Ole Miss is trying to ascend in what’s currently the toughest climate in all of college football — the Southeastern Conference Western Division. The division will be home to four of the five national champions after Alabama and LSU play on Jan. 9. The Rebels are 1-15 in the SEC over the past two seasons, including 0-10 against the Western Division. And the roster has a myriad of holes — especially along the offensive line, at running back and in the secondary. Freeze is certainly concerned about the on-the-field issues, but said the most pressing problem might be in the classroom. He indicated that several players didn’t take care of their coursework during the fall semester as the football season was crumbling and former coach Houston Nutt was fired. “It’s scary,” Freeze said. “We’ve got some hurdles there. Some issues. I hate to go into individual players, but we’ve got a considerable problem there. It’s not one that we’ll back away from. We’ll hit it head on and start battling that in winter session.” Freeze is still in the process of assembling a coaching staff that can help fight the on-field and off-field problems. He brought several assistants with him from Arkansas State, including veteran defensive coordinator Dave Wommack, linebackers coach Tom Allen, defensive line coach Chris Kiffin and tight ends coach Maurice Harris, who will also serve as the program’s recruiting coordinator. The new offensive line coach is Matt Luke, who played at Ole Miss from 1995-98. He previously held the same position at Duke. Wommack — who has more than 30 years of coaching experience, including 16 as a defensive coordinator — didn’t know Freeze until taking the job as Arkansas State’s defensive coordinator last season. But he said the connection was immediate and that Freeze quickly proved he was able to lead a program. “He’s got a tremendous belief,” Wommack said. “He’s so sincere — what you see is what you get with him. Don’t let him fool you, He’s not one of those ‘Aw shucks” guys. He’s sharp, he has a plan in place and he follows it. He knows how to take them to the next level.”

BRADY: QB draws praise CONTINUED FROM 8

ranked in the top-10 in yards passing — Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Philip Rivers (twice) and Brady. They’re 1-4 in those games. Asked if Tebow & Co. can keep up with the league’s top passers if they make it into the playoffs, Fox said: “I can’t predict that. He’s gotten better every week. Six or seven weeks ago, people said he couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. He does that. I think he can do that. I don’t think that was why we lost the game tonight.” Brady was. “He’s still the best out there, in my opinion,” Bailey said. “And you make mistakes against a guy like that, he’s going to make you pay. That’s pretty much what happened all day.” Safety Brian Dawkins missed the game with a neck injury and the Broncos missed him as they had to rely on rookies Quinton Carter and Raheem Moore.

TEBOW: Tebowmania is so rampant that NBC wanted game to air in prime time CONTINUED FROM 8

lessly upbeat Tebow down — as if that was possible. “There’s a lot of great things we can take out of this game,” Tebow said. “Every time there’s a setback there’s more of an opportunity for a new step up.” Cliches, yes, but you get the idea Tebow believes them. And no one should question a quarterback who believes as much as he does. The argument could actually be made that Tebow had one of his better games in what ended up a 41-23 blowout. He

surely had one of his best first quarters, leading Denver to a 16-7 lead before Brady took over in a game that clinched the AFC East for the Patriots. No, the statistics weren’t spectacular, though with Tebow they never are. But there were further signs of progress, and more indications that Tebow will grow into a quarterback that Denver boss John Elway can learn to love. Most everyone else seems to love him already. The “Saturday Night Live” sketch capped a week where it was hard to go anywhere without being

reminded that we are witnessing one of the most fascinating players in one of the most enthralling runs in all of sports. Tebowmania is so rampant that NBC wanted to move the afternoon game to prime time, though the NFL declined. The art of Tebowing continues to sweep the country, Tebow tributes are all over YouTube, and presidential candidate Rick Perry even brought him up during the latest Republican debate. “I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses,” Perry proclaimed. For all that, though, Tebow

doesn’t play unless he can win. This is the NFL, after all, a brutally cutthroat business that Vince Lombardi defined so aptly a half century ago when he talked about winning being everything. That Tebow is a winner is hard to dispute. He was in college at Florida and he is in Denver, where he began the year as the third-string backup and is now 7-2 as a starter. Those are the numbers to study when looking at Tebow. Those are the stats to think about when wondering how his wobbly passes ever find their targets.

Poll: Republicans shrug at Romney’s business past BY CHARLES BABINGTON AND NANCY BENAC Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney says his business background makes him a better presidential candidate than Newt Gingrich, who has spent decades in Washington. But the argument is not moving Republicans his way, underscoring Romney’s challenge in finding a way to stem Gingrich’s rise three weeks before the Iowa caucus, a new Associated Press-GfK poll finds. Republicans are evenly divided on whether a Washington insider or outsider is best-suited to be president. That’s a problem for Romney, who cites his private-sector experience as the biggest difference between the two front-runners for the GOP nomination. The poll also found a significant drop in satisfaction with the overall field of Republicans vying to challenge President Barack Obama next year. In October, 66 percent of Republican adults were

satisfied with the field, and 29 percent unsatisfied. Now, 56 percent are satisfied and 40 percent unsatisfied. Except for four years as Massachusetts governor, Romney, 64, has spent his career in business and management. He ran unsuccessfully for the Senate in 1994 and for president in 2008. Gingrich, 68, spent 20 years in the U.S. House, including four as speaker. Since 1998, he has had a lucrative, Washingtonbased career as a consultant, speaker and author. Both men have earned millions of dollars over the years. The AP-GfK nationwide poll of Republicans found Gingrich with an edge over Romney as the candidate they’d like to see win the nomination. However, it falls just within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 6 percentage points. Voter preferences in early voting states such as Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina do not necessarily match those in national polls.

campaign largely on the argument that his business background makes him better suited for the presidency than anyone else, especially in terms of creating jobs. In a debate Saturday in Iowa, Romney struggled at first to name areas in which he and Gingrich disagree. After citing Gingrich’s support for a mining colony on the moon and changes to child labor laws, Romney said: “The real difference, I believe, is our backgrounds. I spent my life in the private sector. I understand how the economy works.� Among Republicans who say they prefer a non-Washington candidate, Romney has a modest edge over Gingrich. Gingrich has a larger advantage among those who say they prefer Washington experience in a nominee. Among all people surveyed in the AP-GfK poll, including Democrats and independents, Romney fares better than Gingrich in head-to-head matchups with Obama. Obama and Romney are statisti-

The Iowa caucus is Jan. 3. The New Hampshire primary is one week later. For months, Romney has hovered at or near the top of Republican polls, while various rivals have risen and fallen. Gingrich’s rise is at least as dramatic as the recent plummets of businessman Herman Cain and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. An October AP-GfK poll of Republicans found Gingrich well behind the leading candidates, with 7 percent. Romney had 30 percent. The new poll finds Gingrich preferred by 33 percent of Republicans and Romney by 27 percent. All other candidates are in single digits. Jonathan Luers, a software engineer from Chicago, is among those Republicans less than thrilled about the field. “I guess I’m a little disappointed that it’s been so fluid,� said Luers, 52. “I was kind of hoping there would’ve been a more clear choice, without the quick knockdowns and everything.� He said he’s leaning toward Gingrich. Romney has built his

cally even. But Obama leads Gingrich 51 percent to 42 percent. That may give Romney some ammunition with Republicans whose top priority is ousting Obama. Otherwise, Republicans appear to see Romney and Gingrich as similar in many important ways. The two men polled about evenly on the questions of who would be a strong leader, has the right experience, understands ordinary people’s problems and can bring needed change. Romney holds a clear edge on who is most likable. Gingrich leads on the question of who “has firm policy positions.� Romney is often asked about his changed positions on abortion, gay rights, gun control and immigration. Gingrich, however, also has shifted views on some key issues over the years. The poll found sharp drops in popularity for Perry and Cain over the past two months. Cain has suspended his campaign. Dmitry Kan, a Repub-

lican who owns an advertising firm in Acton, Mass., is not enthusiastic about the field. “There is not much choice,� he said. “It looks like it’s going to be either Romney or Gingrich.� Kan, who is 24 and emigrated from the former Soviet Union in 1992, said he is leaning toward Gingrich but might change his mind. He said he respects Romney’s business background, but “seeing how it works these days, I think Gingrich’s ability of political prowess might work better.� Kan said Gingrich “did some difficult stuff back in the 1990s, back in the Clinton administration. Hopefully he will be able to somehow break through the gridlock.� Catherine Sebree, 41, a homemaker from The Woodlands, Texas, likes Romney. “I appreciate the values that he stands for,� she said. “I believe that he is the person that will put family first and will help to strengthen our nation and hopefully help out with the budget deficit.�

DEAR ABBY: Christmas is fast approaching. Our family get-together consists of a crazy celebration where we draw numbers and choose a gift in numerical order. If we want, we can choose a gift that someone already has. I’d like your opinion on re-gifting. Each year some family members just bring the gift they received last year, rewrapped. I think if someone doesn’t care enough to shop for a $20 gift for a family exchange, it takes away from the idea of gift-giving.

Horoscopes by Holiday BY HOLIDAY MATHIS For the second time this year, Venus enters the altruistic realm of Aquarius. It’s a breezy station for the love goddess, who will be more inclined toward friendship, philanthropy and socializing in groups than she will be interested in striking up a passionate romance. There is an endless number of ways to give your heart. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will befriend the friendless. Those who have been displaced or who are just wandering through will find a tender heart in you. You’ll bring out the best qualities in others. TAURUS (April 20May 20). As long as your expectations are reasonable and your to-do list is realistic and manageable, it will be a fine day for executing a series of successful undertakings. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The demands of your personal life are steep lately, and it might also be hard for you to see why your efforts matter. Friendships are important, but so is your sanity. Pull back. Strive for balance. CANCER (June 22July 22). Having a pleasant time with a loved one will not bring you as close as the shared thrill of risk and adventure. That’s why an element of danger will be just the bonding agent you crave. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll have a choice between investing in your life experiences and investing in material goods. Choose the former. The memories you make and the self-esteem you build will outlast possessions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll tell people what’s in your heart. Many would consider this to be a difficult undertaking, but there are times when you’re so overcome with feeling that it’s the easiest thing in the world for you to do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are usually comforted by patterns, and you easily sync your personal rhythms to the routines of life. However, today you will benefit from a pattern interruption. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You’ll raise your self-esteem by taking on a challenge. Whether or not you succeed will be irrelevant. You’ll stretch, grow and think a little more of yourself through each part of your process. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Volunteering takes many forms. You don’t have to be involved with a nonprofit, church or charity in order to uplift humanity. Today you’ll make a difference by giving your warmth, a

listening ear and a smile. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Someone wants to know about your process. Whether this is about a recipe, a way of working or a method of organizing your life, be judicious in the sharing of information. Your methods have real value. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You’ll be of great help and guidance. Others are depending on you — especially someone you know who is confused. This one needs to stop asking questions and stand in what is known. Help this person along. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While you take the time to speculate, someone else rushes in to seize the moment. Watch and learn. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 20). Wherever you go this year, you’ll make it your goal to bring joy to others and to find joy there, too. It’s part of what makes you so popular. You have new passion and purpose for your work in January. June is like one long social experiment. You’ll be involved with a group whose ideas you can really stand behind in May. Taurus and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 49, 3, 31, 20 and 15. ARIES POWER RESOLUTION FOR 2012: If you make only one goal in the personal growth department this year, I strongly suggest this one: Rate yourself against your own standards, and do not look to see how the next guy measures up.

Thank You to our many customers. Merry Christmas from

Watch for our After Christmas Clearance Sale

ing yourself to another person is that you know everything about yourself, good and bad — and the bad parts stand out in your mind, which is only human nature. All you know about the other person is their social persona — the one in which they have covered up or compensated for all flaws. That is just a tiny slice of the whole picture and not nearly enough of a basis to make a fair comparison. This singular goal of essentially minding your own business will flood your life with the happiness and confidence that can only come from knowing that you’re good with you. LUCKIEST DAYS OF THE YEAR: January 1, 2, 15; February 16, 17, 18; March 20, 21, 22; April 4, 10, 11; May 3, 20, 21; June 4, 5, 6; July 7, 30, 31; August 5, 6, 7; September 13, 14, 22; October 15, 16, 31; November 2, 9, 28; December 27, 28, 29. CELEBRITY PROFILES: There seems to be an endless supply of new items pertaining to the personal life of Brad Pitt. As a member of the world’s most famous multinational family, his status as a husband and father is constantly monitored and speculated upon, a fact of life that has become de rigueur for the Sagittarius superstar. With six planets in grounded earth signs, Pitt has the countenance to take it all in stride.

1. My newspaper has never crashed, gone down or flashed animated ads at me. 2. Anywhere I travel, my newspaper goes with me. I don’t need a laptop or a wireless connection or a PDA. 3. I can read my newspaper while standing, while eating, while riding a bus, but not while driving my car, which is just as well since I should be paying attention to the road. 4. If I read a story I like, I can tear it out and save it, and not have to pay to read it 30 days later. 5. I don’t have to sign in or customize or register or remember passwords to read my newspaper. And I often enjoy articles in my newspaper on topics I wouldn’t normally think I’d be interested in. 6. My newspaper has high-resolution pictures and type on large pages that load almost instantly, making it easy to browse and enjoy. 7. My newspaper is cheap, disposable and easy to replace. If it’s lost or stolen, it’s no big deal. 8. My newspaper is not made of unrecyclable toxic materials. 9. If my newspaper makes a mistake, the correction is posted with an explanation. It’s not sneaky applied to the original story after I’ve read it. 10. I can read my newspaper sitting outside on a nice day in the sun, even if a breeze is blowing, because I know how to fold a newspaper.
