BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Things are cooking at the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Mississippi.

In effort to get its members eating healthier, the Club has started a new cooking class. “More Than a Meal� gives members a chance to whip something up in the kitchen every Tuesday from 4-6:30 p.m. “Many food dollars are not being used for healthy food,� said unit director Christy Grice. “If we can accustom young people to enjoy eating better, we will improve their way of life.�

The community also has a part to play. “We need cooking ware,� said Grice. “If someone gets a new mixer for Christmas, we would like to have the old one.�

The Boys & Girls Club could use pots, pans, mixing bowls, knives and other cookware. If Please see CLASS | 2

Fire’s cause still unknown

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Investigation of the cause of Sunday night’s fire at Crossroads Dry Cleaners continues.

Fire Chief Rob Price was at the scene much of Tuesday. He said the cause of the blaze has not been determined and the

investigation has found nothing of a suspicious nature.

He told the Board of Aldermen that about 20 people were involved in the effort to extinguish the downtown fire, which he again praised for preventing its spread. “It could have been a potential

disaster for Corinth,� Price said. “It could have gotten that whole block where Martha’s Menu, JB Outdoors, all of that is.�

The fire destroyed the Cruise Street dry-cleaning business.

agenda to discuss concerns about Comcast cable service did not attend the meeting, but the board acknowledged a complaint from another resident who was present. “We’re going to have a conPlease see BOARD | 2

Deadline nears for Leadership Alcorn

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington @dailycorinthian.com

Today is the deadline for local professionals to register for Leadership Alcorn, a program designed to enhance their knowledge of the community and prepare them for long-term leadership.

The program is hosted annually by The Alliance in an effort to help those interested in community service gain valuable skills and insight into how to make a difference in

feel more integrated into the community and have a better base of knowledge,” she said.

The Leadership Alcorn program consists of four day-long programs focusing on different aspects of leadership and the community including business, government and tourism.

Rose said each of these sessions will give participants the opportunity to learn directly from leaders in these fields about the activity happening in

the future of Corinth and Alcorn County.

Alliance Community Development Director Andrea Rose said the goal of the program is to foster leadership skills through exposure to all aspects of activity in the county and the creation of lifelong connections.

She said participants will come away with a better understanding of how the community works and how to truly make a positive impact.

“We hope that they’ll

the county, how things work in those areas and how they can get involved and make a difference.

“It really gives them an insider’s view of how things work in the city and county,” she said.

The sessions also introduce participants to leaders in these areas, helping them make networking connections that will benefit them throughout their lives and careers.

Outside of the scheduled programs, participants must commit to

perform a minimum of 10 hours of community service. Each Leadership Alcorn class selects, as a group, a community service project and designs, organizes and carries out the project from the ground up.

Rose said along the way they’ll learn more about the community and develop close relationships with their fellow class members that will help them throughout their lives.

She said they hope participants will come away

from the program prepared to take on an even greater role in moving the community forward and making it an even better place to live and work.

Registration for the program ends today at 4 p.m., however, Rose emphasized it’s not necessary to have payment complete then. For an application or more information, call Rose at 287-5269, e-mail her at andrea@corinthalliance. com or visit The Alliance’s Facebook page.

“We want to stay in line with something that is nutritious and quick,” said Grice. “Anyone that is a good cook and wants to help can come on.”

Members got the class under way by preparing a Thanksgiving meal for their families.

Corinth is mobilization point for Confederates Source: Alcorn County Family History Volume I. uring 1861, Corinth served as a mobilization point for troops leaving the state. A local diarist, W. A. Overton, wrote on March 28th: “There are about 700 troops went down the Mobile & Ohio Railroad this morning bound for Fort Morgan and Pickens. The Corinth Rifles went down with them.

There was another cargo came Vicki on the Roach Memphis & CharlesFamily ton this Branches evening bound for the same destination.�

On the following day, “There was something over 400 troops went down the M&O Railroad this morning. There was another company came in the evening bound for the same destination.�

Early in May Mr. Overton mentioned 2,500 soldiers being in Corinth and leaving for Lynchburg, Richmond, Va. Toward the end of the month he told of troops entraining for Union City, Tenn. Two days later he said that 5,000-6,000 soldiers were in town and more arriving on every train. In November troops were being sent to Bowling Green, Ky. After the fall of Forts Henry and Donelson in February, 1862 and the subsequent loss of Kentucky and Middle Tennessee, Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, commander of the Western Department of the Confederate Army made the Memphis & Charleston Railroad his line of defense.

This railroad extended from Memphis to Chattanooga where it branched south through Atlanta to Charleston and Savannah, and north through

Shortly after daybreak on April 6th, the two-day Battle of Shiloh, named for Shiloh Chapel, began. ... Soon after, the newly seasoned soldiers including some 8,000 wounded began their painful trek back to Corinth.

Knoxville to Lynchburg and Richmond, If this only east-west all-weather supply line were cut, the upper South would be divided and open to conquest.

Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, second in command, called for all troops west of the Alleghenies, and from the Trans-Mississippi area to concentrate in Corinth. By the end of March over 40,000 men, few of whom had had any combat experience, were assembled. These men were organized into four corps under Gens.

Leonidas Polk, Braxton Bragg, W.J. Hardee and J.C. Breckinridge.

Meanwhile Federal forces under Gen. U.S. Grant were converging at Pittsburg Landing, Tenn., Corinth’s river depot, in preparation for an attack upon the rail junction. Although the Trans-Mississippi armies under Gen. Earl Van Dorn and Gen. Sterling Price had not reached Corinth, Johnston decided to strike Grant’s army before Gen. Don Carlos Buell could reinforce him. The Confederate troops left Corinth April 3rd expecting to attack on April 5th; however, rain, mud and military inexperience so delayed their march it took them three days to cover the 20 miles.

Shortly after daybreak on April 6th, the twoday battle, named for Shiloh Chapel, began.

Gen. Johnston was fatally wounded on the first day and Gen. Beauregard assumed command. During the night Wallace and Buell joined Grant with nearly 25,000 reinforcements. Next afternoon a

Confederate retrograde maneuver had been completed by 4 p.m. and the newly seasoned soldiers including some 8,000 wounded began their painful trek back to Corinth.

Gen. Bragg had begun a system of field fortification prior to the Battle of Shiloh. Now, work on these breastworks was vigorously renewed. It began south of where South Parkway intersects with Highway 72 and extended northward along the ridge just west of Phillips Creek. Still following the ridge it bent westward across the Mobile & Ohio Railroad to the Chewalla Road.

Inside the outer line, but outside the 1862 city limits, rifle pits commanding the roads from Shiloh were constructed.

On April 9th, W.A. Overton wrote in his diary: “There was an order issued today for all citizens to leave town.� Evidently most of the citizens obeyed the order, if not immediately within the next few weeks, unless they had strong reasons for remaining. Overton removed his family in late April, but returned himself and apparently stayed in Corinth another month.

Continues next week.

Other Views

State needs to pursue creating jobs with a creative economy Mississippi, more than most states, relies heavily on federal jobs, grants and contracts.

But in our current uncertain economy and with a crushing federal deficit, those federal dollars — and jobs — are almost certain to be reduced.

So the state must look for ways to create its own jobs and revenues.

Locally, community and business leaders have targeted tourism as a major growth opportunity, through efforts like the Gulf Coast Regional Tourism Partnership.

The Mississippi Arts Commission and its partner agencies within the Mississippi Development Authority have identified another opportunity to generate “organic” growth — creatively using our own assets to develop a “creative economy.”

A “creative economy” utilizes the unique cultural and artistic assets of a community to generate jobs, change the image and perceptions of a community and to attract young and well-educated visitors and new residents who are drawn to those cultural and artistic opportunities.

Mississippi, the birthplace of so much of America’s music, art, literature and history, has assets we’ve never fully exploited. Mississippi’s creative economy employs around 61,000 people in job sectors ranging from design and culinary arts to museums and galleries.

Taking advantage of these cultural and creative resources can both stimulate our economy and lay the foundation for future growth and stability.

The Mississippi Arts Commission’s “Creative Economy Roadshow” visited the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Perkinston campus recently to unveil a plan to develop Mississippi’s “creative economy.”

A detailed analysis and plan are available online at MsCreativeEconomy.com.

MDA and its various departments, ranging from the arts commission and the film office to asset management and tourism, have committed themselves to working with local communities to identify, grow and promote Mississippi’s creative assets.

The Gulf Coast Business Council’s Masters Class members recently visited a few communities known for their success in developing a creative economy.

The proof is in the results: a growing population of educated young workers seeking not only jobs but a quality of life that satisfies their creative interests, and an increase in employers looking for that young, creative talent.

Mississippi may be on to something big.

But as with all plans, results come from execution.

We see a real opportunity here and we applaud MDA and MAC for identifying it and drawing a road map. Now it’s time for our community and business leaders to read the recommendations and start acting upon them.

The incredible perseverance of Newt Gingrich

BY MICHAEL BARONE Here are a couple of things to keep in mind about Newt Gingrich, as he leads in polls for the Republican presidential nomination nationally and in Iowa and South Carolina, and may be threatening Mitt Romney’s lead in New Hampshire.

One is that he is an autodidact. A second is that he has incredible perseverance.

Autodidact is a fancy word for someone who is self-taught. Gingrich calls himself a historian and says his worldview was shaped at age 15 by viewing the bones at the ossuary at Verdun, site of the World War I battle. And he did earn a Ph.D. in history in 1971, with a dissertation on “Belgian Education Policy in the Congo: 1945-1960.”

But he hasn’t pursued that or any other subject with scholarly rigor.

Instead, in his voluminous writings and unusually lengthy speeches, you will find references to the futurist Alvin Tofler, to Olympic beach volleyball, to zoos and space exploration.

You’ll find management book lingo, salesmanship tips, offbeat and sometimes revealing facts and anecdotes.

Gingrich started running for Congress as a teacher at West Georgia College, in a traditionally Democratic area where he had no local

connections, in 1973. That was when Richard Nixon was president. Nelson Rockefeller was governor of New York, and Ronald Reagan governor of California. Both had supported tax increases and signed bills legalizing abortion. Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal were not yet in kindergarten.

The sophisticates of the time said that Vietnam proved that America was overextended and impotent, Watergate proved that it was morally unworthy and corrupt, and stagflation proved that its days of economic growth were over.

Gingrich disagreed on all three counts.

With autodidact intensity, he argued then and has argued ever since, that America is not in decline but at the brink of technological and economic breakthroughs; it is not a waning power in the world, but one that can inspire revolutionary transformation; the wave of the future is not the liberal welfare state but (in a 1983 phrase that never quite caught on) the conservative opportunity society.

Politically he persevered through adversity. He ran a strong race against a longtime Democratic incumbent but lost in the Watergate year of 1974. He set out to run again, but after Jimmy Carter clinched the Democratic nomination he

knew he could not win in rural Georgia. It was only when he ran a third time in 1978 that he finally won.

I remember Gingrich predicting that in the 1984 cycle Republicans would win a majority in the House of Representatives. Every political insider thought that was ridiculous, and it illustrates Gingrich’s tendency toward overoptimism. But while he was wrong on the timing, he was right on the reasons why the Republicans could and would end the Democrats’ decades of control. He saw that the South was moving Republican as elderly incumbents retired and that smart young Democrats elected in Vietnam and Watergate years would be replaced by Republicans. That finally happened in 1994, and Gingrich became speaker of the House.

His record there was mixed. As I wrote in the 1998 Almanac of American Politics, “He had more success as an inside-the-House legislative leader than as an outside-the-House shaper of public opinion.” Congress passed welfare reform and held spending level for a year, which led to a balanced budget. Gingrich and Bill Clinton were negotiating Medicare and Social Security reforms until distracted in different ways by impeachment.

But many Republicans

felt that Gingrich was continually outnegotiated by Clinton, who as Gingrich told me at the time, “never stops learning.” Other Republican leaders nearly ousted him in an unprecedented coup in 1997, and few colleagues are supporting him for president now.

As for the public, Gingrich became widely unpopular due, as I wrote then, to “a cocksureness, a professorial abstractness about policy, a more than occasional petulance and high self regard.”

He also showed a tin ear for proprieties, divorcing two wives to marry other women and signing a seven-figure book contract as speaker (later dropped), just as he signed up for seven figures from Freddie Mac after leaving office.

Asked a year ago whether he was running, Gingrich said, “Why wouldn’t I?” When his campaign staff resigned en masse, he persevered. Now we’ll see if voters entrust this autodidact with a position for which few of his colleagues think he is fitted.

The root of voter anger goes all the way back to 1954

BY SCOTT RASMUSSEN Sixty-nine percent of voters nationwide are angry with the policies of the federal government.

To understand why, it’s important to remember that most voters believe tax cuts and government spending cuts are good for the economy.

Collectively, voters have voted for politicians who promised spending cuts and tax cuts in just about every election over the past four decades.

Barack Obama promised tax cuts for 95 percent of all Americans. George W. Bush’s across-the-board tax cuts were the centerpiece of his domestic policy. Bill Clinton promised tax cuts for the middle class. The first President Bush asked the nation to read his lips while promising no new taxes. And Ronald Reagan rode the tax revolt to the White House. Jimmy Carter ran as a fiscal conservative, and Richard Nixon was more fiscally conservative than Hubert Humphrey.

Despite that track record

and clear expression of voter preferences, total government spending has gone up in America every single year since Bill Haley was topping the charts with “Rock Around the Clock,” a young singer named Elvis Presley made his first commercial recording, and Hank Aaron hit his first home run as a rookie for the Milwaukee Braves. That was way back in 1954, with Dwight Eisenhower in the White House.

In that bygone era, the average new house cost just over $10,000, a new car was under $2,000, gasoline was under 30 cents a gallon, and you could buy a magazine for 20 cents.

With those numbers in mind, some cynics might assume that government spending has grown over the past 55 years just to keep pace with inflation.

Others might point out that there are a lot more Americans for government to serve today than there were back in 1954.

But the truth is that adjusting for population growth and inflation doesn’t

even begin to account for the explosion of government spending.

Since 1965, the year the Beatles played Shea Stadium and the miniskirt came to America, government spending has grown faster than the combined total of inflation plus population growth every year but one.

If government spending in America had just held pace with population growth and inflation since 1954, government spending today would total $1.3 trillion. Instead, spending this year will top $5.4 trillion.

And while the spending has been going up, it’s not as if voters have been shy about expressing their point of view. The past half-century has included the tax revolt, the Reagan Revolution, the H. Ross Perot movement and Clinton’s declaration that the “Era of Big Government” was over.

It’s important to note that from 1954 to 2010, Republicans controlled the White House for 34 years and Democrats for 22. Democrats controlled Congress

for 44 years, and the Republicans for 12. So this long-lasting spending spree was enabled on a completely bipartisan basis.

All of this frustration building among ordinary citizens was finally unleashed in the fall of 2008 with passage of the Wall Street bailout measures. That became the single most hated piece of legislation in modern American history. It was supported by both parties in Washington and opposed by voters from both parties throughout the country.

Still, while the bailouts triggered the voter outrage and have created problems for both parties in Washington, this issue was really just the tip of the iceberg. The frustration has been building for so long that roughly eight out of 10 Americans living today have never been alive when government spending went down.

10 suffer minor injuries in accident PEARL — Pearl police say 10 people — including eight students — suffered minor injuries in a three-vehicle accident that included a school bus.

The car, pickup truck and school bus were traveling west on U.S. Highway 80. Police Lt. Butch Townsend tells the Clarion-Ledger that slick road conditions may have caused Wednesday’s collision.

He says the accident occurred about 7:55 a.m.

He says two drivers and eight students were taken to local hospital with minor injuries.

The accident is under investigation.

Starkville schools look at travel criteria STARKVILLE — Starkville school interim superintendent Beth Sewell is suggesting the district develop some criteria for paying for student trips.

The Starkville Daily News reports that the school board has debated which groups should get funding and how much money they should get.

The board is often asked to partially fund class field trips, group trips to competitions or festivals to help lighten the financial burden of the students’ families.

Sewell suggested this week that the board consider distinguishing between a competition and a trip — between something that is required as

part of the curriculum and something that is just for fun — when making a decision on funding.

“If it is something that is required and there is an issue with funding of our students and they are not able to handle it financially, then it is our responsibility as a district to take care of it,” she said.

The school board has $15,000 in its budget for student trips. Each school also has money for student travel but it is also very limited.

“It’s going to have to be a budget issue that is going to have to be determined at each school level so they don’t have to come to (the school board). Some of this needs to be handled at the school level,” Sewell said.

Better bids sought for recycled silver OXFORD — The city of Oxford and Lafayette County will look for better prices on 42 bars of silver that were discovered this past summer in a safety deposit box.

Officials told the Oxford Eagle that this week’s bids were too low.

The 42 bars of 100 ounces each and a couple of smaller pieces were found in a safety deposit box rented before the local hospital was leased to Baptist Memorial Health Care in 1989.

Officials say the silver came from recycled xrays.

The city and county agreed to sell the silver and split the proceeds.

The highest bid was

$27 per ounce for the entire lot. There was one bid at $28 an ounce for 10 bars. The bids weren’t high enough for both boards.

“I don’t think I could vote for anything less than $28 an ounce for all of it,” Supervisor Johnny Morgan said.

Supervisor Mike Pickens said he wants to get $30 an ounce.

Mayor Pat Patterson and the board of aldermen also rejected the bids.

“I don’t think we want to approve anything less than $29 an ounce,” Patterson said.

One bid was accepted.

Patty Simmons bid $250 for the 7-ounce bar, which is about $35 an ounce.

Both boards accepted the bid for the one bar.

Anderson Hospital cuts employee hours MERIDIAN — A Meridian hospital has reduced hours for its staff in what is described as a budgetary move.

Anderson Hospital CEO Ray Humphreys tells WTOK-TV that hours have been trimmed from 40 per week to 36. He says it covers everyone except those in jobs considered critical.

Humphreys says the hospital has experienced a $1.4 million reduction in Medicaid reimbursement and treated more uninsured patients. He says there is a seasonal decline in patient numbers.

And Humphreys says the hospital has not met its budget.

Humphreys says the

hours are expected to be restored with the start of the new year.

School now requires caps, gowns for all JACKSON — A Mississippi school district will require all students to wear caps and gowns in senior portraits after a lesbian student was left out of the yearbook for wearing a tuxedo.

The Copiah County School District’s decision was part of an agreement reached with the American Civil Liberties Union, which sued the district in August 2010, claiming the school discriminated against Ceara Sturgis on the basis of sex and gender stereotypes.

The ACLU said Wednesday the agreement also calls for a picture of Sturgis in the tuxedo to be added to her class’ composite picture hanging in the school library. The school also must amend its anti-discrimination policy “to add language affirming its commitment to following the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.”

A message left for the Copiah County Superintendent of Education wasn’t immediately returned.

Bear Atwood, legal director of the ACLU of Mississippi, told The Associated Press the deal resolves the lawsuit.

“The thing that’s really important is that Ceara feels like she made a difference,” Atwood said.

“She set out to make a difference and she did it.”

Sturgis said in a statement released by the

ACLU that she’s thrilled to have her photo among those of her classmates in the library and it’s “important that nobody else will be forced to wear something that doesn’t reflect who they are.”

Slow down for salamanders JACKSON — The Natchez Trace Parkway provides a home for the tiny juvenile Webster’s Salamander and frogs.

A two-mile section of the parkway south of Interstate 20 in Hinds County now has a lowered speed limit to protect them.

Parkway officials say on rainy nights during the breeding season from December through March, dozens of salamanders are killed by cars when the amphibians attempt to cross the road.

Officials say the speed limit of 35 mph will be enforced during night time hours when it is raining through the area to increase the ability of the salamanders to cross unharmed.

The Natchez Trace Parkway spans 444 miles across three states, from the southern Appalachian foothills of Tennessee to the lower Mississippi River.

Grant obtained to preserve old depot GREENVILLE — A $108,000 grant from the state Department of Archives and History will help with renovations of the old Greenville Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad depot in Greenville.

Officials tell the Delta Democrat Times that the depot needs mostly cosmetic repairs and a new heating and air conditioning system and a new roof.

Walley Morse, with the Greenville/Washington County Historic Preservation Commission, says the present station was built in 1945. It was once used for passengers and then for freight. Morse says the commission took over the depot about three years ago.

Officials say they want to preserve the outside of depot, allowing the owners to make the inside as modern as they want.

Fugitive discovered dead after manhunt HERNANDO — The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation has taken over investigation of the death of a fugitive during a manhunt in DeSoto County.

The Commercial Appeal reports that a Hernando man who had eluded arrest on several felony warrants was found dead Tuesday after leading authorities on a manhunt that stretched from DeSoto County into Tate County.

Authorities say the body of 37-year-old Tracy L. Wooten was found by a DeSoto County deputy in a field in rural Tate County.

An autopsy has been ordered.

Authorities say Wooten fled when deputies arrived at his home Monday to serve the warrants.

After an overnight search, Wooten’s body was found in the field.

Thieves target toilet paper at diner ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A New Mexico restaurant employee says he’s now seen it all, after three men left his diner with rolls of toilet paper and were nabbed in the parking lot by police.

Burgers, Dogs and Wings employee Josh Flannery-Stewart said he was immediately suspicious of the men when they came in because they weren’t talking and appeared “messed up.”

The three went into the bathroom and emerged carrying about a dozen rolls of toilet paper. They got in a car in the parking lot, but didn’t get far.

Albuquerque police apparently already had the trio under surveillance and surrounded the car and arrested them.

Stolen Santa returns with $100, note UNIONVILLE, Ind. — A southern Indiana man has gotten an early Christmas gift: A 16-foot-tall inflatable Santa Claus stolen from his yard has been returned with $100 and a note of apology.

Jason McClaren tells The Herald-Times that someone returned the deflated Santa to his Unionville yard this week in a trash bag that also contained the money and note.

He says the anonymous note makes it clear that the person who returned the Santa wasn’t the thief who took it and two 6-foot tall penguins this past week. The penguin decorations are still missing.

The typed note states: “Returning your property is the right thing to do, and apologies for the thief who took it in the first place.”

McClaren says he plans to buy more decorations.

Man acquitted in assault with mink MONTESANO, Wash.

— A jury has acquitted a Washington man accused of breaking into a home and throwing a dead mink at another man during a confrontation.

Defense lawyer Chris Crew said Monday that 33-year-old Jobie J. Watkins of Hoquiam was found not guilty of burglary.

Police said Watkins was carrying the dead animal when he went to the other man’s apartment looking for his exgirlfriend on June 6. The other man said he was struck after he asked Watkins why he had a dead weasel and Watkins insisted that it was a marten.

Crew said witnesses provided inconsistent accounts and the “prosecution failed to prove a link to the mink.”

The 23-year-old Grand Rapids resident went on a bare-knuckled offensive against what she saw as a mitten impostor, and soon dozens of Michigan residents were tweeting comments such as, “Only one state has Mitten Mojo!”

Plans underway to simplify all credit card agreements

BY CANDICE CHOI AND JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A simpler credit card agreement is getting a tryout.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Wednesday released a prototype of a credit card agreement that’s written in plain English. The idea is to sweep away the legalese and make it easier for consumers to understand a card’s costs and terms.

The agency is asking for the public’s feedback on the model agreement, which can be found at www.consumerfinance. gov/credit-cards/knowbeforeyouowe.

For now, there are no plans to require credit card companies to adopt the form. But if the agency decided to make the form mandatory once its testing phase is over, it could establish a consistent, industrywide template that would make it easier for consumers to comparison shop for cards.

As it stands, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau noted that the average credit card agreement runs 5,000 words and is packed with fine print that consumers don’t understand. The

The idea is to sweep away the legalese and make it easier for consumers to understand a card’s costs and terms. prototype agreement, by contrast, is just over 1,000 words and is broken down into three key sections — costs, changes and additional information.

The form will be tested over the first half of 2012 with new credit card applicants at the Pentagon Federal Credit Union, one of the nation’s largest credit unions. Some applicants will get the existing version of the credit union’s card agreement so that the CFPB can compare consumer feedback.

The American Bankers Association, which represents the banking industry, praised the model form as a “good first step,” but said it could be made even shorter and less susceptible to costly lawsuits.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

was created as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to police the financial products marketed to consumers. Consumer advocates have said that clearer mortgage disclosures could have helped prevent the subprime crisis that precipitated the financial meltdown.

Since it officially began operations this summer, the agency has focused on simplifying the disclosures consumers receive with a variety of financial products. The agency is also testing simplified forms for mortgages and has asked for feedback on the issues borrowers encounter when applying for private student loans.

The rollout of the sample credit card agreement comes as the White House urges the Senate to confirm Richard Cordray to head the consumer bureau. Republicans have said they will block confirmation of anyone to head the agency until other regulators and Congress have more control over the bureau.

The White House says a recent study shows about two-thirds of credit card users say they don’t completely understand their cards’ terms.

USDA announces $50 million to help restore river basins

BY RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI Associated Press

HOUSTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture this week pledged $50 million to a program designed to restore seven river basins from Florida to Texas, in an attempt to show a blueprint for rebuilding the Gulf Coast’s fragile ecosystem is more than just another federal report.

The USDA’s announcement accompanied the presentation of the final report of the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force, a team established by President Barack Obama in the wake of the April 2010 oil spill that highlighted decades of environmental decline in the Gulf of Mexico.

The task force’s plan for reviving the Gulf and the ecosystems and watersheds linked to it calls for rebuilding and conserving wetlands; cleaning polluted rivers and streams; strengthening communities along the

storm-prone area and better preparing them for the storms that brew over the warm ocean waters; and allowing more sediment to naturally flow downstream to slowly rebuild barrier islands meant to provide natural protection from storms.

“We are all dedicated to making sure that the treasures we grew up with are still around for future generations,” said U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, a New Orleans native who chaired the task force.

Jackson and officials from other federal and state agencies made the announcements in Houston at a summit sponsored by the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies. The summit focuses on the Gulf, its importance to the U.S. economy and the need to reverse decades of damage and neglect.

Jackson said the USDA project — an offshoot of an existing national pro-

gram aimed at conserving, improving and preserving the nation’s watersheds — is only the first of many initiatives she expects will be announced in the coming months.

The first project administered by the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service gives farmers and ranchers the finances they need to change their land or water use practices to help clean, conserve and preserve the watersheds, said Harris Sherman, the USDA’s undersecretary for Natural Resources and Environment. The USDA provides them with a “tool kit” of options for joining the program, he added.

The program — called the Gulf of Mexico Initiative — also requires matching funds from state, local and nonprofit entities, and so the funds available could total some $90 million, Sherman said. Similar projects are already under way elsewhere, and have successfully reversed some damage done to waterways.

Romney steps up pace of campaign as caucuses near

BY KASIE HUNT Associated Press

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. — Mitt Romney is ramping up his presidential campaign in a big way — just as Newt Gingrich emerges as a serious threat for the Republican nomination.

Over the next week, Romney’s cross-country fundraising trips will cease, replaced by a more rapid-fire campaign schedule in early voting states. That means more TV ads, more media interviews and more handto-hand politicking in early-voting Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and, Romney says, “a couple other states.”

“We’re just starting,” the former Massachusetts governor said Tuesday before jetting off to court donors. “We’re making

our closing argument. ...

You’ll see me campaigning aggressively.”

That would be a stark contrast to the cautious, calculated approach that Romney has taken all year as he focused on stockpiling campaign contributions for a drawn-out nomination fight.

Voting for the GOP nomination begins in Iowa on Jan. 3 and Gingrich, a former House speaker and nationally known figure, has shot to the top of public opinion polls in Iowa and South Carolina while making gains elsewhere. Much to Romney’s chagrin, Gingrich has benefited from the struggles of other rivals also considered more conservative than Romney, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and Georgia businessman

Herman Cain, who has dropped out of the race.

The primary has essentially become a two-way fight between Romney and Gingrich.

Romney’s message will stay largely the same: He argues he has a business background that makes him the best candidate to create jobs and improve the economy — and the best candidate to beat President Barack Obama.

Still, it’s been fine-tuned in recent days, as Obama traveled to Kansas to invoke Teddy Roosevelt’s pitch for a “square deal” for middle-class Americans.

“This election will be the choice between entitlement and merit, appeasement and resolve,” Romney planned to say in a speech Wednesday in Washington, echoing words he used in Arizona

on Tuesday.

Behind the scenes, Romney aides are planning to start aggressively dipping into his mound of campaign cash to ramp up his presence on the TV airwaves.

He’s already running ads in both Iowa and New Hampshire — positive spots that highlight his economic record — but he’s not yet on the air with the heavy levels that usually come at this point in the campaign, as voters start paying attention.

He’s also starting to increase his appearances on Fox News Channel, watched by many GOP primary voters, and has agreed to appear on “Fox News Sunday” on Dec. 18, his first appearance on a Sunday news show in more than a year and a half. Aides say it’s a calculated effort.

December is tax time Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for mutual fund investors to pay attention to taxes. So they should be looking for notices from fund managers about capital gains distributions. These notices will help with yearend tax planning.

When fund managers sell stocks or bonds that rose, they pass the gains on to investors each year.

These are called capital gains. A fund can have capital gains even if it lost money. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rise in a fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individual holdings, not the fund as a whole, that lead to capital gains.

The upside of the stock marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 performance is that investors are likely to pay less in capital gains taxes for this year. The S&P 500 is up just 0.3 percent. If that tiny gain holds, it means

Here are some tax tips for investors: The estimate you get from your fund company typically is based on how a fund did through the end of October. The market has risen since then.

You can get more current results by checking the company's website. Or call the company.

If a fund says it expects to distribute a gain, wait until after the distribution date to invest any new cash in the fund.

The company said in late August business was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not roaring back.â&#x20AC;?

Consider taking tax losses. Investors might want to sell some of the investments that have lost value to offset any capital gains elsewhere in a portfolio.

Mark Jewel, Jenni Sohn â&#x20AC;˘ AP

The Labor Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly tally of how many people applied for unemployment benefits is expected to come in just under 400,000. That would be the first drop after two weeks of small gains. The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment numbers have been pointing to a gradual improvement in the job market, but the recent upticks in the number of applications show that a full recovery isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to happen soon.

Checking in on the job market First-time applications for unemployment benefits

many stock funds wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have capital gains to pass on.

Some may have losses that investors can use to offset gains on other investments. Stocks that pay dividends have generally done better than the overall market.

That makes them candidates to pass on gains.

Diversified bond funds have returned an average of 2 percent this year, according to Morningstar. Many of them are also likely to be passing along capital gains.

Two important things to remember: First, capital gains are an issue only if you have funds in a taxable account. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a You can learn concern for your 401(k) or more about IRA. Or a tax-free municipal capital gains bond fund. And tax laws are taxes at the complex.

Consider consulting IRS website, an accountant or other tax www.irs.gov. adviser about your strategy.

NEW YORK — The Big East introduced Boise State, San Diego State, Houston, SMU and Central Florida as its new members, effective 2013.

“The Big East conference is the first truly national college football conference,” Commissioner John Marinatto said Wednesday during a teleconference with the university leaders from the new members.

Boise State President Bob Kustra said his school was “proud to be aboard.”

The Big East, depleted by the planned departures of Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West

Virginia, is trying to rebuild as a 12-team football conference with a western division.

Boise State and San Diego State, which currently play in the Mountain West Conference, will join the Big East only for football. Houston, SMU and UCF will be leaving Conference USA and joining the Big East in all sports.

“We have ambitious plans, and this expansion is a great stride toward reaching them,” Marinatto said.

The Big East has also been pursuing Air Force and Navy as football only members, but those schools have yet to commit.

Boise State has reportedly

worked out a deal to have its other sports teams compete in the Western Athletic Conference, where its football team dominated for 10 seasons.

San Diego State is reportedly finalizing a deal to have its other teams compete in the Big West.

The Big East has only five football members committed to the conference beyond this season: Connecticut, Cincinnati, Louisville, Rutgers and USF. It also has seven schools that do not play major college football and Notre Dame, which competes in the Big East in everything but football.

The Big East filed a countersuit to keep West Virginia in the conference.

Pittsburgh and Syracuse intend to join the Atlantic Coast Conference as soon as possible, but are not challenging the Big East’s bylaws.

Syracuse athletic director Daryl Gross said he expected the Big East might ask his school and Pitt to leave early

Archie Manning: Son, Luck can coexist if on same team The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Archie Manning figures Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck can co-exist in Indianapolis after all.

One day after Archie Manning told an Indy radio show he didn’t think either quarterback wanted to be on the same team, he backtracked and said he thought the two could work together just fine — if the winless Colts get the No. 1 pick next spring and choose Luck.

“I’m sure they could,” Archie Manning said in a phone interview Wednesday. “Andrew is a great young man and we’ve enjoyed getting

to know him.

He and Peyton have a friendship, and I’m one of the few people out there that’s A. Manning not really concerned about this deal. All good people respect each other and I’m sure this will all shake out.”

The connection between the Mannings and the Lucks dates back almost three decades when Archie Manning and Luck’s father, Oliver,

were teammates in Houston.

The two family patriarchs still communicate and their quarterback-playing sons have gotten to know one another, too. Andrew Luck has attended the Manning Passing Academy as both a pupil and a counselor, and after making up his mind to return to school last winter, the Stanford quarterback contacted Peyton Manning asking for advice about how to handle this season.

KOSSUTH — A pair of Kossuth seniors garnered high honors following the annual meeting among state coaches.

Dillon Hughes and Tyler Pittman were honored with inclusion on the annual Mississippi Association of Coaches Class 3A All-State team.

Kossuth racked up a 12-1 mark this past season, tying the school record for wins under first-year head coach Brian Kelly. The Aggies garnered their fourth Division 1-3A title -- first since 1999 -and matched the program’s previous playoff success with a pair of victories before falling to eventual state champion Charleston.

Hughes was selected to the First Team as an offensive lineman. The tackle helped anchor a line that helped produce over 300 yards and nearly 30 points per contest.

Pittman, a starter on both sides of the ball, was chosen Second Team at fullback. On offense, the bruising runner netted over 800 yards and seven scores on the ground and hauled in 17 passes for another 160 and three scores.

As a middle linebacker, the senior paced the squad in tackles at seven per contest.

Kossuth also won Division 1-3A titles in 1985, 1998 and 1999. The Aggies were 5-7 in 2009.

The 2011 edition matched the 12-1 mark posted by the 1998 squad, which lost in the second round at Amory.

Pujols’ negotiations dominate winter meetings The Associated Press

DALLAS — Albert Pujols will get a huge contract, there’s no doubt. But the team that will sign the threetime NL MVP remains unclear.

Will it be St. Louis, the team he’s helped to two World Series titles in six seasons?

The new-look Miami Marlins, whose newfound riches from their new ballpark are dominating the free-agent market?

The Los Angeles Angels, until now in the background?

“He’s not the only guy,” Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria said Tuesday, trailed by media whenever he walked the hallways.

Baseball’s new Big Fish were the talk of the winter meetings, with teams wondering how close the Marlins were to an agreement with Pujols on a deal that could be worth $200 million or more over 10 years.

Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals reacts after hitting a two RBI double during the third inning of Game 2 of baseball’s National League championship series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Oct. 10 in Milwaukee. Free agent Pujols started Wednesday mulling more than one offer reportedly worth $200 million or more over 10 years. a new offer Tuesday to keep “They have a new stadium.

to do those types of things.

Our roster is pretty set. We have a lot of guys that are on long-term deals. That’s why maybe there’s not a lot happening for us.”

Reyes’ $106 million, sixyear contract was finalized Wednesday, a deal that pays him $10 million in each of the next two seasons, $16 million in 2014 and $22 million in each of the final three years. Miami has $22 million option for 2018 with a $4 million buyout.

“It’s a perfect situation in Miami,” Reyes said. “We have a lot of talent there and the new stadium, the weather, close to Dominican, a lot of Spanish people there, so I think I’m going to like it and enjoy it as much as I can.”

Elsewhere, Prince Fielder was still in play in the hitters’ market, and C.J. Wilson and Mark Buehrle were among the available starting pitchers on the second day of the four-day swap session, which has been relatively slow.

Harlon Hill finalists named The Associated Press

FLORENCE, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Delta State quarterback Micah Davis, Mars Hill running back Jonas Randolph and Washburn University quarterback Dane Simoneau are finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy.

The three finalists have been invited to the presentation on Dec. 16 for Division IIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equivalent of the Heisman.

Voting was conducted by sports information directors at the 149 football-playing Division II schools.

Davis has led Delta State into the semifinals after throwing for 3,423 yards and 22 touchdowns and rushing for another 13 scores. He has led four fourthquarter comebacks.

Randolph led Mars Hill to its first Division II postseason game with 2,170 rushing yards.

His 197.27 rushing yards a game led all NCAA divisions.

Simoneau set eight Washburn records this season while passing for 4,089 yards with 38 touchdowns.

BIG EAST: Additions boost football markets CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8

now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d need us to move out of the way,â&#x20AC;? said Gross, who was taking part in IMGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Intercollegiate Athletics Forum in Manhattan on Wednesday.

Marinatto said there have been no discussions with the new members about the possibility of letting the departing members out early. Potentially, that could lead the Big East to have the same eight teams it has now in 2012 and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;13 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even 15 in 2013 if negotiations work out with the military academies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple matter of respecting our bylaws,â&#x20AC;? Marinatto said of the possibility of having lame duck members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An early departure and a violation of those bylaws would damage the membership.â&#x20AC;?

The Big East was born in 1979 as a northeast basketball conference and in 1991 added football with the inclusion of Miami, Virginia Tech and others.

Maintaining a strong football league has been difficult. Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College left the Big East for the ACC in 2004 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;05, and the league seemed on the verge of extinction.

Instead, it expanded, bringing in Louisville, Cincinnati, South Florida, DePaul and Marquette.

The additions revitalized the football league for a few years and Big East basketball, with 16 members, has been better than ever.

The newest additions are all about football and television markets. Marinatto said the additions boost the Big Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential TV households by more than six percent and up to 28 million.

cerns over the two being teammates in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d necessarily be great for either one,â&#x20AC;? he said then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the type of mature player . . . he can walk right in. I mean, these other three or four guys that are playing this year, (if) they can walk in and contribute, Andrew can, too.â&#x20AC;?

The comments caused lots of commotion in Indianapolis, where the 0-12 Colts are a heavy favorite to get the top pick in Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft and could select Luck.

Team vice chairman Bill Polian has declined to comment specifically on Luck, citing NFL rules that prohibit team officials from commenting on players until they make themselves eligible for the draft.

Luck has not yet filed the paperwork to give up his final year of eligibility and enter the draft.

Archie Manning, who is

promoting the Liberty Mutual coach of the year award, explained Wednesday that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to raise such a ruckus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought they were asking whether Andrew Luck should sit or play, and I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too good to sit,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The questions about Luck have taken center stage in Indy with Peyton Manning facing an uncertain future.

On Sept. 8, the four-time league MVP had a spinal fusion, his third neck surgery in 19 months. Last week, doctors gave Manning the OK to increase the pace and intensity of his rehabilitation regiment. Team officials have not yet explained what Manning will do, though he was seen standing next to coach Jim Caldwell when Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice began.

Caldwell said he did not expect Manning to participate in team workouts this week and that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if that would happen before the sea-

son ends.

The Colts have kept Manning on the active roster all season in hopes he could start throwing before the Jan. 1 finale at Jacksonville. Polian, general manager Chris Polian and team owner Jim Irsay also must decide whether to exercise a $28 million option or let Manning become a free agent.

When will Manning start throwing with his teammates? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been no timetable set on it from a coaching standpoint, from a personnel standpoint,â&#x20AC;? Caldwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those that performed the surgery do all that. They say things look better and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re encouraged and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll increase his rehab and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all they said about it.

Marshawn Lynch

MARSHAWN LYNCH, RB, SEAHAWKS “Beast Mode” was powered by Skittles on Thursday night, as Lynch totaled 22 carries for a season-high 148 yards and two TDs during a 31–14 win over the Eagles. In between Lynch’s two scoring romps — a 15-yarder where he disappeared in a crowd before exploding into the end zone, and a 40-yard sprint across the field, down the sideline and over the goal line — the Cal product was busy eating colorful chewy candy, “tasting the rainbow” and basking in the cheers of Seattle’s 12th Man. RAY RICE, RB, RAVENS The original Browns — who became the Ravens after moving to Baltimore in 1996 — returned to Cleveland to take on the expansion Browns — whose proud franchise returned to the NFL after a three-year absence in 1999.

Rice had the type of day even Jim Brown would be proud of, with a season-high 29 carries for a career-high 204 yards and one TD during a 24–10 victory at the Dawg Pound.

TIM TEBOW, QB, BRONCOS Superman continues to soar, improving his record as a starter to 6–1 this season with a 35–32 come-from-behind win at Minnesota.

Tebow completed 10-of-15 passes for a season-high 202 yards, two scoring strikes and zero picks for a career-high 149.3 passer rating.

Demaryius Thomas, Tebow’s draft classmate and go-to receiver, hauled in four catches for 144 yards and both TDs in the thrilling victory.

CAM NEWTON, QB, PANTHERS The reigning Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall pick showed off his entire athletic arsenal during a 38–19 road win at Tampa Bay. The 6'5", 248-pound Newton completed 12-of-21 passes for 204 yards, one TD and zero INTs through the air; caught the first pass of his young career for 27 yards; and had 14 rushes for 54 yards and three TDs on the ground. The triple-threat rookie now has 13 rushing scores this season, breaking Steve Grogan’s 1976 record (12) for rushing TDs by a quarterback.

DREW BREES, QB, SAINTS After having their game against the Lions flexed to the prime time Sunday night slot — in place of the previously scheduled Colts at Patriots — the Saints flexed their muscle on national TV. Brees became the first quarterback in history to top 4,000 yards passing over the first 12 games of the season, reaching the milestone after completing 26-of-36 passes for 342 yards, three TDs and zero INTs in a 31–17 win.

n Heading into the fantasy football playoffs, it’s hard to know what to expect from Texans wide receiver ANDRE JOHNSON, who suffered a “mild” hamstring injury in Week 13 — after missing Weeks 5-9 with the same injury earlier this year — and has unproven third-string quarterback T.J. Yates throwing him the football.

Packer Perfection Green Bay stays unbeaten; improves record to 12–0

By NATHAN RUSH Athlon Sports Editor

The champagne was surely on ice, but Don Shula, Bob Griese, Mercury Morris and the rest of the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins will have to wait at least another week before popping open the bubbly.

After all, the Green Bay Packers are still unbeaten, with a 12–0 record following an impressive 38–35 win on the road against the New York Giants — coincidentally, the same team that took down the 18–0 New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, before the ’07 Patriots had a chance to join the ’72 Dolphins as the only undefeated teams in NFL history.

Two days after his 28th birthday, Aaron Rodgers led the Packers on a four-play, 68-yard drive that took just 55 seconds to set up Mason Crosby for a 31-yard game-winning field goal to defeat the Giants.

“These are the fun ones. We’ve had a number of games we’ve won by a couple of scores,” said Rodgers, who was a perfect 4-for-4 on the drive.

“You get the ball on the 20, under a minute, and we get it down there for a chip-shot field goal. It’s very rewarding. It probably ranks right at the top.”

Heading into the Week 13 matchup, Green Bay’s average margin of victory over its previous 11 games was 14 points, with only one game decided by fewer than seven points.

Many were even starting to suggest that the Packers’ lack of close contests would come back to bite them in the playoffs. So the final drive was a welcome opportunity as much as the crisp execution was a relief.

Since taking over as the Packers starting quarterback in 2008, Aaron Rodgers has posted a 39–20 regular season record and a 4–1 mark in the playoffs.

“It was a huge drive,” said receiver Greg Jennings. “We haven’t had one like that at the end in a while. It was very quiet in the huddle, actually. You could see everybody was focused. It’s great to see what we could do at the end like that.”

Rodgers completed 28-of-46 passes for 369 yards, four TDs and one INT in victory. His eighth 300-yard passing game tops Brett Favre’s team record, set in 1995 and 2007.

This season, the MVP favorite has completed 70.6 percent of his passes for 3,844 yards, 37 TDs and five INTs for a 125.3 passer rating, along with 207 rushing yards and three TDs.

“I’m running out of things to say about him,” said coach Mike McCarthy, who has a 60–32 record since taking over the Packers in 2006.

“He’s a great quarterback.”

The defending Super Bowl XLV champs have now won 18 straight games dating back to last season. But a 16–0 regular season is all anyone wants to talk about — that is until the conversation turns to a 19–0 season capped with a repeat hoisting of the Vince Lombardi Trophy. But Rodgers is taking it a little slower than that.

“I’m not going to talk about 16–0,” said the cool, calm and collected Rodgers. “It’s one goal at a time.”

BROWNS (4-8) AT STEELERS (9-3) Cleveland’s Colt McCoy and Peyton Hillis limp into Blitz-burgh on short rest for this Thursday night AFC North showdown. These two teams are headed in opposite directions. The Browns are 1–5 over their last six games; the Steelers are 7–1 over their last eight contests.

PATRIOTS (9-3) AT REDSKINS (4-8) The last time these two teams played, New England “ran up the score” for a 52–7 win over Washington in 2007. And judging by the way the Patriots and Redskins are playing, this year’s results might not be much better.

CHIEFS (5-7) AT JETS (7-5) It’s now or never for Rex Ryan’s crew. If the Jets don’t fire up their engines, they won’t be flying into the postseason this year.

TEXANS (9-3) AT BENGALS (7-5) Houston is riding a six-game winning streak, while Cincinnati has lost three of its last four.

But don’t let the trends fool you, the Bengals can pounce on the banged-up Texans.

COLTS (0-12) AT RAVENS (9-3) The Colts ran from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984. This year’s horseshoe homecoming will make Maryland natives thankful they have a Super Bowl contender to cheer for rather than a winless roster sans Peyton Manning.

FALCONS (7-5) AT PANTHERS (4-8) Atlanta won 31–17 over Carolina in Week 6.

But the Panthers have won two straight and look to spoil the Dirty Birds’ Wild Card hopes.

BUCCANEERS (4-8) AT JAGUARS (3-9) It’s been a down year for Florida football — both in the NFL and at the collegiate level. This game will only remind fans of that sad fact.

SAINTS (9-3) AT TITANS (7-5) Drew Brees has been in MVP form over the past three weeks — completing 68.4 percent of his passes for 1,027 yards and nine TDs in wins over the Lions, Giants and Falcons.

EAGLES (4-8) AT DOLPHINS (4-8) The Dream Team take their collective talents to South Beach, where Michael Vick will take his starting job back from Vince Young, who went 1–2 as his substitute.

VIKINGS (2-10) AT LIONS (7-5) Detroit held on for a 26–23 win at Minnesota in Week 3. Having lost three of their last four, the Lions need to regroup down the stretch.

49ERS (10-2) AT CARDINALS (5-7) San Fran crushed Arizona, 23–7, in Week 11.

Expect a similar outcome this week.

BEARS (7-5) AT BRONCOS (7-5) The Brett Favre to Chicago rumors have been shot down. But wouldn’t that have been great?

Favre vs. Tim Tebow in a matchup that might have caused the internet to shut down.

RAIDERS (7-5) AT PACKERS (12-0) This rematch of Super Bowl II pits two classic franchises against each other in a game with playoff implications. Oakland is alive in the AFC West race, while Green Bay is still undefeated.

BILLS (5-7) AT CHARGERS (5-7) Two teams in the middle of a downward spiral collide when Buffalo — losers of five straight — hits San Diego — losers of six of last seven.

GIANTS (6-6) AT COWBOYS (7-5) This Sunday night NFC East fight is the first of two matchups between the G-Men and Boys over the last four weeks of the season. And with the division up in the air — and coaches Tom Coughlin and Jason Garrett on the hot seat — both teams are in must-win mode.

RAMS (2-10) AT SEAHAWKS (5-7) This Monday night party is a rematch from Week 11, when Seattle won 24–7 at St. Louis.

Strangely, that is the only game over the past five weeks that Marshawn Lynch has been held under 100 yards rushing. “Beast Mode” has 591 yards and five TDs, and the Hawks have a 3–2 record during that stretch.

Shanahan let down ‘big time’ by suspended Redskins Associated Press

ASHBURN, Va. — No sugarcoating from Mike Shanahan, not when he’s been let down like this.

The Washington Redskins coach said Wednesday he’s disappointed “big time” in suspended players Fred Davis and Trent Williams and that both will have to prove themselves in order to be a part of the team’s future.

Tight end Davis and left tackle Williams — the team’s leader in receptions and the offense’s marquee lineman — began the day by apologizing at a team

“You’re talking about accountability, people being there through thick and thin. And when you don’t do that, there’s not really anything you can say except ‘I screwed up.’”

Mike Shanahan

Redskins head coach meeting. Both were suspended Tuesday without pay for four games — the rest of the regular season — by the NFL for repeated violations of the league’s substance abuse policy.

“You’re talking about accountability,” Shanahan said, “people being there through

thick and thin. And when you don’t do that, there’s not really anything you can say except ‘I screwed up.’ And they were men enough today to stand in front of the team and say, ‘Hey, I did screw up, and we promise it won’t happen again.’

“Now we will find out in the

future if they’re true to their word.”

It’s one thing to be caught once, but Davis and Williams are multiple offenders who had previously been fined by the NFL, ordered to undergo counseling and received a good talking-to from a coach who puts

a premium on discipline. Not only will the struggling offense for a 4-8 team have to find way to make do without the pair for the balance of the season, but the Redskins will also have to plan around the fact that each will likely be suspended for a year if there’s another positive test.

“Am I disappointed in them?

Big time, yeah,” Shanahan said. “Because they affect not only themselves but this organization and their teammates.

That’s a bad decision, and they know they put us in a heck of a position.”

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS The Taurus moon invites you to give deep thought to what will keep you grounded through the whirlwind of holiday activities ahead. Tonight the moon shifts into Gemini, and you might be inspired to share your thoughts with loved ones.

Perhaps you can come up with a plan to support one another in the transition into the new year.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A surge of emotional energy may incite you to demonstrate your love or other strong feelings.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll communicate clearly, and it will be nice to finally be heard and understood.

TAURUS (April 20May 20). The only reality is the one you perceive.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tune your perception to a world that supports your wishes and gives you happy surprises.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the many ways that people will help you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your mood upon waking might not be ideal. You can turn it around by working from the outside in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.â&#x20AC;? -Thich Nhat Hanh CANCER (June 22July 22). When you begin choosing in favor of what would really make

you happy, instead of doing the automatic role that someone has cast you in, your life will transform in unpredictable ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take your relationships for granted.

There are still many new things to learn about a person youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known a long time. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insight will be a kind of revelation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Social happenings are more interesting than usual. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy a certain personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company in particular, and that person will be sure to invite you to other events in the near future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you argue with the way things are, you lose. Knowing this, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll assess a less than optimum situation and will try to see the opportunities for good that exist in it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). There are things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to do but never acted on.

There will be a perfect moment to make your move. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yours for the seizing, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate, or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Taking things too seriously is dangerous and not advised. With a great deal of levity, you just may float above this whole strange situation and escape to a bright new scene.

some children who seem to be mature and are able to make logical decisions on a fairly regular basis.

Still, making a decision under stress when one has not had a lot of experience can be difficult.

Having said that, at what age do you think it is appropriate to leave a child alone at home?

Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to arrange for child care when kids are out of school. Do you have any guidelines as to what to look for that can help make this decision? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BUSY WORKING PARENT IN KANSAS DEAR BUSY WORKING PARENT: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think children should be left alone if there is any other alternative available -- after-school programs, YMCA, activities where they will have adult supervision.

Too many things can go wrong, and you would never forgive yourself if one of them happened.

DEAR ABBY: How does one respond to a former co-worker/acquain-

tance who wants you to be a reference at your current workplace? My experience with him was not ideal. He was a good worker, but he became irritable when he was under stress and drowned everyone around him in negative energy. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to work with this individual again, but I prefer to be nonconfrontational. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;FORMER COLLEAGUE IN SUNNYVALE, CALIF. DEAR FORMER COLLEAGUE: If you are asked again, tell your former co-worker you are not comfortable assuming that responsibility.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be defensive and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow the person to pressure you. And you do not have to explain why you have chosen not to give the reference.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You regularly take reasonable, responsible risks. Once in a while, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tempted to take an unreasonable risk just because something in your gut says it will work.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get that feeling again today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like anyone telling you what to do, especially yourself.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you sometimes make a schedule and do whatever you feel like doing instead. Let yourself have the freedom, no guilt necessary.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling mighty independent, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t measure your selfworth against how much another person demonstrates their love for you. You might even find someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention annoying or distracting.

TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 8). It will be a year of renovation and revitalization. Progress in areas of education, communication, writing, computers, travel and sales will thrill you. The next six weeks are for making connections. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be praised for your integrity in the spring. Loved ones

trust you and make you a bigger part of their world.

Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 15, 49, 50 and 11.

NUMEROLOGY FUN WITH NUMBER THREE: Do you know what your magic number is? You can get it by adding up all of the numbers of your birthday until you wind up with one number. For instance, all the numbers in the birthday 12/7/1973 add up to 30, and then three plus zero equals three, and so the final number is three.

If THREE is also your magic number, you have a talent for all things having to do with connection.

You connect easily with others and make it easy for them to form bonds with you. You also bring people together for a common cause. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re often the one to set friends up with dates, and sometimes you have the idea that makes something happen that never would have happened otherwise.

You enjoy communicating, and people feel like opening up with you and sharing whatever resources they have. You are easy to love and hard to forget.

CAN ONE BE SAVED BY FAITH ONLY? The Bible teaches that one is saved by faith, but not by faith only. The expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;faith onlyâ&#x20AC;? appears only once in the Bible in James 2:24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ye see then how that by works a man is justiďŹ ed, and not by faith onlyâ&#x20AC;?. Faith only would save the devils because they believe and tremble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and trembleâ&#x20AC;? (James 2: 19).

Christ shed his blood on the cross to make it possible for man to be saved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sinsâ&#x20AC;? (Matt 26:28).

The redemption of man is only through the precious blood of Christ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sinsâ&#x20AC;? (Col I: 14). From the passages above, it is evident that sins can only be forgiven or washed away by the blood of Christ. The Bible reveals how and when one reaches the blood of Christ.

God requires one to believe, repent of sins, confess Christ and be baptized in order to be saved (Heb 11:6; Acts 17:30; Rom 10:9-10; Acts 2:38). All of these commands are necessary in order for one to be saved, but the last command (baptism) puts one into Christ and into his death. Sins can only be washed away by the blood of Christ, which is reached in baptism. The blood of Christ is accessed in baptism and it is at that point that one receives the forgiveness of sins. Therefore, if one is saved by faith only, one is saved without reaching the blood of Christ in baptism.

Saving faith is a working faith that moves one to do all that the Lord requires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by loveâ&#x20AC;? (Gal 5:6). We can conclude that we are not saved by one thing to the exclusion of all others, but by all that God requires of us in order to be saved. Salvation by â&#x20AC;&#x153;faith onlyâ&#x20AC;? is not taught in the Bible, but in creed books.

At the judgment, there will be no creed books because all of them will be burned up. Jesus said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last dayâ&#x20AC;?

(John 12:48).

Are we willing to follow the word of God or the doctrine and commandments of men? â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of menâ&#x20AC;? (Matt 15:9).

The Brinkley House was started by Chief Iuka R.C. Brinkleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tishomingo County Connections Dunrobin, also known as the Brinkley House, celebrated its 160th anniversary in 2007.

The historic structure was one of the first houses built in the town of Iuka, and it is one of Iukaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recognized and cherished landmarks. Located in Tishomingo County, this historic house was the summer home of the Robert Campbell (R.C.) Brinkley family.

The Brinkley family completed the antebellum home in 1847.

R.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second wife, Elizabeth Mhoon Brinkley, named the home â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dunrobin,â&#x20AC;? meaning Castle Robert. Dunrobin was also reportedly the name of the Brinkley ancestral home in Scotland. Locat-

ed at 605 Eastport Street in Iuka, Dunrobin is the beautihome RaNae ful of William Vaughn J. Brinkley Historically III. Speaking C h i e f Iuka, the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chickasaw Indian chief, commissioned David Hubbard to build a house on the land on which Dunrobin was built. Hubbard allegedly began construction on the original structure in 1837 and then sold the unfinished house to R. C. Brinkley in the 1840s.

Chief Iukaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceremonial grounds were located on a flat patch of land beside the house.

Family history notes that R. C. Brinkley and his second wife, Elizabeth Mhoon, married in Alabama and while enroute to Memphis where R.C. Brinkley lived, the stagecoach stopped at a watering hole in Tishomingo County. The watering

The halls of the historic home are very wide; the width of the main hall is 25 feet. Four large rooms complete the first floor and the kitchen was originally separated from the house. When the home was originally constructed, open fireplaces were the sole means of heating. History tells us that during one cold winter, water spilled in the hall, allowing the children to ice skate inside the home.

The Brinkley family lived most of the year in Memphis, Tenn. in a big house called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home of the Magnolias,â&#x20AC;? at Poplar and Manassas.

At some point in time, the family tore down a mansion in Memphis, although it is not known if it was this mansion or not. However, after

hole for the stagecoach road from Tuscumbia, Alabama to Memphis covered two or more acres and was on the land originally owned by Chief Iuka.

At the watering hole, the new bride, Elizabeth Brinkley remarked she would love to live at that location. To please his new bride, R. C. bought the property and its unfinished house for $860.

Unfortunately, before R.C. Brinkley could pay Chief Iuka, the Chickasaw Indian chief was killed. R.C. Brinkley paid Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iukaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife the first $60, and then she died. He later sent the remaining $800 owed on the property to the Indian tribe in Oklahoma.

Current Brinkley family members in Tishomingo County still possess the paperwork for the trans-

a major renovation of the antebellum summer home in 1911, much of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismantled mansion in Memphis was incorporated into the Dunrobin estate.

The ornate large door facings, the massive columns, lead glass windows and mantle in the library, as well as the beautiful walnut woodwork still found throughout the home, came from Col. Brinkleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memphis mansion.

Dunrobinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original spiral staircase was also replaced by a walnut staircase in 1910 or 1911.

The historic homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intricate hand-carved walnut ceiling in the library boasts the initials RCB. This customization also reportedly came from the Memphis mansion.

Although Dunrobin was used as the Brinkley familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer home, many parties were held at the home in Iuka.

During this period in history, tourists flocked to Iuka for its soothing mineral waters. W.C. Handy, known as the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Father of the Blues,â&#x20AC;? performed at Dunrobin several times.

During the Civil Warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Battle of Eastport and Battle of Iuka in Tishomingo County, Dunrobin was used as the Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters by Gen. U.S. Grant, W.S. Rosecrans and others. A telegraph line was extended from a window to the town of Eastport on the Tennessee River.

Upon leaving the house, General Grant reported he vacated the home in good condition, even to the pin cushion on the bureau, which was kept as a souvenir.

Gen. Grant wrote to R.C. Brinkley thanking him for the use of his home. It has been reported Gen. Grant and R.C. Brinkley were both Shriners; therefore, the home was not burned.
