Kalee Mayo is getting the chance to live every little girl’s dream. All because so many love her mother. The 4-year-old daughter of Casey and Heather Mayo is headed to DisneyWorld with her family following the outpouring support from the Alcorn School District and community. “Christmas is magical,� said Alcorn Central Elementary Principal Tonya Farris. “Every little girl should experience Disney World with their mother.� That desire to see Kalee spend that magical time with her mother is what drove ACES to make the dream a reality. Heather Mayo, a first grade teacher at the elementary school, has battled melanoma cancer for two years. The 28 year-old has been limited to resume teaching while receiving treatments to combat the disease. “Heather has been so special to me,� said Farris. “The whole district has come together and helped since she has been sick.� Through the efforts of the district, local churches, Mississippi

people that would just come up and donate money,� added assistant principal Tammy Johnson.

Hill Bros. of Ripley has donated its jet to fly the Mayos and other family members to Orlando. A condo has also been donated for their stay. “Kalee is so excited about going,� said her mother. “She loves princesses so much.� Kalee will get a chance to have breakfast with a princess on Sunday morning, according to school PTC President Amy Parker. “The Lord has had his hand in this,� said Parker. “I am thankful to be a part of this ... it let’s me see how blessed I am.� Scotty Harville, Heather’s father, said it’s unbelievable the way the community has stepped forward wanting to help. “It’s overwhelming,� said the assistant chief with the Corinth Police Department. “So many people want to do something to help that I can’t say enough good things.� Alcorn Central teachers were given extra incentive to help. If they donated at least $20 to the cause, teachers were allowed to wear jeans to school for the whole month of December. Please see MAYO | 2

Alcorn County’s 911 operations moved to the Alcorn County Justice Center on Tuesday. Now known as Alcorn County Communications, the service took the first call at its new home at 2:06 p.m. — a medical call for a seizure. Twenty years after taking 911’s very first call in Alcorn County, 911 Director Teresa Burns experienced a bit of deja vu as she and other staffers anxiously anticipated the first call at the South Harper Road justice center. “I remember sitting in the basement of the courthouse waiting hours and hours for that first call,� said Burns. 911 spent its first 20 years

Alcorn farmers consider peanuts as new crop BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Some Alcorn County farmers are taking a look at peanuts as a possible crop. The Mississippi State University Extension Service hosted a meeting in Corinth this week for interested growers with Brian Atkins, manager at the Birdsong Peanuts receiving station near Aberdeen, and

Charlie Stokes, agronomist with the Extension Service. The meeting was organized in response to interest expressed by some local growers. “It could be an opportunity for some of our farmers to diversify,� said County Director Patrick Poindexter. He said the growers will have to approach peanut farming from a business perspective

and determine if it’s a good fit for their operations. Atkins discussed the peanut industry and how Birdsong works with growers. “They do offer tremendous service to their farmers,� said Poindexter. “The peanut industry is something that’s growing. They are looking to the future and looking to expand their operations.�

Mississippi is fairly new to producing peanuts, according to the Extension Service, and benefits from more rain and less disease problems than in some other states. “The one big thing you have to have is sandy type soil,� said Poindexter. “That’s a must.� It’s not that they will not Please see PEANUTS | 2

Team Corinth raises over $20,000 for St. Jude BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Team Corinth continues to run for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The Team Corinth St. Jude Heroes raised over $20,000 for the children’s hospital while competing in the St. Jude Memphis Marathon earlier this month. “We want to say thanks to everyone who donated money in some type of way,” said team member Amy Smith. “ All money was greatly appreciated and worked toward the final total.” Team Corinth produced

$20,301.79 for the hospital and over four years has collected $78,042.88 for the cause. The marathon weekend is held the first weekend of December in Memphis, Tenn. Runners can compete in either the marathon, half marathon, Memphis Grizzlies House 5K or Family Race & Kids Marathon. “We had great weather for the run and we all survived,” said Smith. This year the marathon brought in $3.8 million for the hospital. It takes $1.7 million to operate the hospital for one day.

“The family of the patient never sees a hospital bill unless they request it,” said Smith. “They want the family to focus on the health of the child instead of worrying about the cost.” The hospital never bills the family for medical services not covered by insurance. St. Jude works closely with the insurance companies to make sure that a cap is not met on one patient. That way, if there is someone else in the family who needs to go to the doctor, they can go without having to worry about the cost, she noted. Team Corinth consist

Guys installs warning sirens BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

GUYS, Tenn. — The citizens of Guys can rest a bit easier when severe weather approaches the area now that the town’s early warning sirens are installed and working. Guys Mayor Keith Rinehart said the town’s three early warning sirens have been tested and are now in operation. The process took a year to complete because of state requirements and delays in the bidding process for the sirens. The sirens have been installed on South Gin Road, at J & B Auto Sales on Old

Hwy. 45 and at the Guys Community Center. This placement forms a triangle around Guys and will allow any warning signal to alert the entire town. “We believe we are in good coverage of our town because of the survey,” said Rinehart. “We can hear the siren at North Corinth Baptist Church across the state line and the same company put in our sirens.” Rinehart said the company that sold the sirens did a survey prior to installation to determine how to best cover the town with sound in the

event of a weather emergency. The mayor said the town could use the sirens in the case of an emergency such as a train derailment with hazardous materials. The National Weather Service will be in charge of sounding the sirens whenever a tornado is approaching Guys. McNairy County’s E-911 will do a monthly test to ensure the sirens are working properly. City officials in Guys will check the batteries in the sirens once a month. Pickwick Electric Cooperative donated the three poles for the sirens

to Guys and provided the installation of those poles for the sirens. Federal Communications sold the sirens and installed them for $48,998.20. The town of Guys had to provide a 10 percent contribution to earn the state money used for the project. Rinehart said the town would pay around $5,000 as part of the agreement to get the state funds. The final step in the project was training Guys city officials on how to use the sirens. Rinehart and alderman Chris Howard took part in the training to finalize the process.

Camp Corinth becomes hospital center Continued from last week. Source: Alcorn County Family History Volume I. orinth became a vast hospital center as the wounded from Shiloh began coming into town on April 9th. Hotels, churches, stores, and college and private residences were jammed not only with wounded but also with those incapacitated by illness. Many of the ill, however, never reached a hospital, but died in their tents of childhood diseases, dysentery and fevers. It has been estimated that of the aggregate Confederate force of over 112,000 assembled in Corinth only 60,000 were effective. Causes of illness at Camp Corinth stemmed from ignorance of bacteriologic science and of aseptic surgery; from lack of immunity to infectious diseases as many forming the army were from

Sanitary measures were not practiced by the thousands of soldiers, consequently the inadequate water supply was polluted. The dearth of fresh fruits and vegetables resulted in cases of scurvy. Boxcar loads of wounded and sick were sent south to Okolona, Columbus, and Oxford and later to Rienzi. Only the most critical cases were kept in Corinth. Women from Mobile, Memphis, New Orleans, Natchez and Missouri came to Corinth to help nurse the ill and wounded. Among these women were Mrs. Ella King

Before leaving Decatur, Alabama, enroute to Corinth, General Pat Cleburne wired Mrs. Newsom to collect as many supplies as possible and come to Corinth. Sisters of Charity from Mobile were at Corona College. Kate Cumming, also from Mobile, was at the Tishomingo Hotel. Kate kept a journal during the war years which told of her experiences as a nurse.

Is America a nation of two different tribes? It is being heard more and more that Americans are divided into two different camps. It is even mentioned they do not even communicate because they do not speak the same language. Indeed, the verbal combat Dr. Marty is escalating and intensifying. Wiseman Although such talk might have Stennis once been considered idle Institute conversation, each day and every philosophical debate that passes seems to add credence to the notion the United States is becoming a country of two increasingly divergent tribes. Conservative thinker and pundit George Will added conciseness to the debate recently when he suggested a simple answer to a simple question would be quite revealing. Referring to the current economic turmoil, he posed the question: “Keynes or Hayek?” The implication was that, whether one realizes it or not, a citizen of the United States today must be one or the other. John Maynard Keynes was the British economist who believed government intervention is appropriate and necessary to mitigate rough places such as recessions that occur over the course of economic cycles. Keynes was certainly an advocate of government stimulus of the type recently favored by the Obama administration to shore up the economy at those points where the pure free market approach faltered. On the other hand, Friedrich Hayek stood firm on his belief the free market economy in its purest form had a life all of its own with many moving parts, and it was preposterous to believe such an economy could be understood by individuals. Hence, government intervention into the natural workings of the free market is futile and dangerous. Perhaps these different views have been the undercurrents of dispute all along, and it is only during times of great economic stress we feel we must choose sides. One thing for sure is the debate, and the growing animosity among debaters, has spilled over the top of the economic boiler and into the social and political arenas. Furthermore, the belief in the respective philosophical positions has become so intense and so purified there is no apparent possibility of compromise. It is worthy to recall the hyper-government intervention of the Depression-era Franklin Roosevelt years were concluded by the greatest incident of government intervention of all, i.e. World War II. Until recently, reunions of those who were in the camps of the “make work” Civilian Conservation Corps were common. Then there was the “War on Poverty” of President Lyndon Johnson. Medicare and other social programs remain as relics of Johnson’s Great Society notion a wealthy nation such as the United States had the ability to place a “safety net” under everyone. This, however, is only half of the story. The other side holds United States greatness can only be attributed to the freedom of the individual to fight his or her way through adversity. Conservatives hold the individualshould be paramount in a free society. So these are the sides that have been chosen. They are not only in terms of economics, but politically and socially as well. The rhetoric of both sides tells the stories. One side has drawn a line between the one percent of the population that is most affluent and the remaining 99 percent. It is demanding government intervention to bring greater equality to the two sides. The language of income redistribution is creeping into the debate. On the other side one finds a vigorous defense of the individual. It maintains government harms the individual when it intervenes. Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) has made the philosophy of Ayn Rand required reading for his staff. Rand emphasized individual rights, including property rights. America is now poised to embark upon one of the most philosophically divisive national election seasons ever. Dr. W. Marty Wiseman is professor of political science and director of the John C.

to accept Georgia’s plan for membership in NATO. Rubio was pushing to have the U.S. Senate pressure Obama into fast-tracking Georgia into NATO, making Tbilisi an ally the United States would be obligated to go to war to defend. Now it is impossible to believe a senator, not a year in office, dreamed this up himself. Some foreign agent of Scheunemann’s ilk had to have had a role in it. And for whose benefit is Rubio pushing to have his own countrymen committed to fight for a Georgia that, three years ago, started an unprovoked war with Russia? The answer is unknown. What is known is the name of the senator who blocked it — Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul, who alone stepped in and objected, defeating Rubio’s effort. The resolution was pulled. But these people will be back. They are indefatigable when it comes to finding ways to commit the blood of U.S. soldiers to their client regimes and ideological bedfellows. Back in 2008, however, as Bush was confining himself to protesting the excesses of Russia’s response, his exU.N. ambassador was full of righteous rage and ready for military action. In the London Telegraph, Aug. 15, 2008, John Bolton declared that Russia had conducted an “invasion”

and that Georgia had been a “victim of aggression.” As for the European Union, in bringing about a ceasefire, it had achieved results “approaching Neville Chamberlain’s moment in the spotlight at Munich.” But did not Georgia launch the attack that started the war? “This confrontation is not about who violated the Marquis of Queensbury’s rule in South Ossetia,” scoffed Bolton. Restoring America’s credibility, said Bolton, now requires “drawing a clear line for Russia” in the Caucasus and elsewhere. And who is John Bolton? Newt Gingrich told two groups Wednesday he intends to name Bolton secretary of state. With Newt appointing as America’s first diplomat an uber-hawk who makes Dick Cheney look like Gandhi, and Mitt Romney’s foreign policy team crawling with neocons primed for war with Iran, a vote for the GOP in 2012 looks more and more like a vote for war. Like the Bourbons of old, the Republican Party seems to have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” He is also an American conservative political commentator, syndicated columnist and broadcaster.

the only subject the public is getting bad information about. There are taxes, for example. Supposedly we have the highest corporate taxes in the industrialized world and they are crushing our economy. Nonsense. During the past quarter, corporations paid out 21 percent of their profits in taxes (as opposed to the theoretical 35 percent conservatives are always woofing about). In the past 50 years, through good times and bad, that rate has amounted to just under 34 percent. So our corporations are being taxed at about twothirds of what they have been taxed at historically. Not so high. But what about personal taxes? Surely they’re high. They’re not. For the recent quarter, personal taxes were estimated at 14.1 percent of income. The 50-year average is 15.5 percent, 10 percent higher. In addition, the latest figures show that aftertax profits of corporations make up 10.3 percent of the economy — the highest they’ve ever been. The next highest was the 8.98 percent achieved in 1929, a year you don’t want

to be compared to. So what does this all mean? It means we’re being sold a bill of goods, people. We are being systematically lied to so the upper tenth of one percent of the population, which funds our elections and pays off our politicians, can get ever richer. Our environment, our school systems, our social safety net, our public works, and our middle-class prosperity are all being sacrificed to make the richest richer. This isn’t a new phenomenon. In 1896, a great American put the case before the Democratic National Convention: “There are those who believe that if you will only legislate to make the wellto-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through to those below. “The Democratic idea has been that if you make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up and through every class that rests upon it.” Where is William Jennings Bryan when you need him?

State Briefs Associated Press

Former caregiver gets 25-year sentence JACKSON — A Jackson woman who once ran a personal care home has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. Stephanie Fields was sentenced Wednesday by Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd. The 39-year-old pleaded guilty Nov. 21. The 18 counts included exploitation of vulnerable adults, identity theft, fraudulent use of Social Security numbers and accessory after the fact to culpable negligence manslaughter — a charge involving the death of a woman who died of hypothermia in January 2010. Fields ran a personal care home three years before her 2010 arrest. Special Assistant Attorney General Sue Perry says Fields had 15 people with diminished mental capacity living with no heat, little food and no running water. Fields is already serving a five-year sentence in Madison County for exploitation of a vulnerable adult.

Barbour taps Fair for appeals seat JACKSON — Gov. Haley Barbour is appointing Chancellor Gene Fair of Hattiesburg to fill a seat on the state Court of Appeals. Barbour announced the appointment Wednesday. Fair will succeed William Myers, who announced in October that he’ll retire from the 10-member court on Dec. 31. Fair will serve the final seven years of Myers’ eight-year term, through January 2019. Fair has been chancellor since January 2007 in a district that covers Forrest, Lamar, Marion, Pearl River and Perry counties. The Court of Appeals district covers Forrest, George, Greene, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Lamar, Pearl River, Perry

and Stone counties and part of Wayne County. Fair previously worked in private law practice in Hattiesburg and has served as a lieutenant commander in the Judge Advocate General Corps in the U.S. Naval Reserve.

Man to plead guilty in cocaine case GREENVILLE — Court records indicate a Mississippi man plans to plead guilty to federal charges in a cocaine distribution and witness tampering case. A change of plea hearing for Damion Anthony Reid is scheduled for Dec. 29 in U.S. District Court in Greenville. The indictment in the case says Reid and others were involved in an ongoing drug distribution conspiracy from 1999 to April 2010, when they were charged. Reid also is accused of trying to bribe a witness in a drug case. A total of eight people are charged in the case.

Man to be sentenced for enticing minor ABERDEEN — A man will be sentenced Jan. 11 in Mississippi for using the internet to try to entice a 15-year-old girl to have sex with him. An indictment in federal court in north Mississippi said James Harvey Bystrom tried to lure the girl into having sex in February. He pleaded guilty in August. U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock will sentence Bystrom in federal court in Aberdeen.

Sentencing set in untaxed cig scheme OXFORD — Two Kentucky men will be sentenced Feb. 15 in federal court in Mississippi for evading taxes through the sale and distribution of contraband cigarettes. Robert Ammerman of Falmount, Ky., and Mike Ammerman of Cynthiana, Ky., pleaded guilty in June. The Ammermans operated Farmer’s Tobacco Warehouse in Cynthiana. The Ammermans were supplying large quantities of cigarettes to Mississippi wholesalers at a price that could not cover the required taxes and fees. In return, the wholesalers kept the cigarettes “off the books.” The Ammermans agreed to forfeit to the United States $8 million representing the proceeds of their scheme.

Tupelo council discusses bad dogs TUPELO — The Tupelo City Council is trying to come up with a law to better protect citizens from dangerous dogs. WTVA TV reports veterinarian Stephen King expressed concern Tuesday about any new law that would target specific breeds. Being proposed is an ordinance that would go after pit bulls, Rottweilers and dobermans. Council President Fred Pitts and Councilman Jonny Davis said any new law needs to include language addressing pit bulls. Animal control officer Becky Paul told mem-

Primary Care Treatment of illness & chronic disease Wellness exams

bers of the council she believes the proposal needs more work, adding that what’s being considered now is less restrictive in some areas than the current law. There’s no indication when the city council will be ready to vote on a tougher ordinance.

Date set for Keenum’s sentence BOONEVILLE — Once prominent attorney Thomas D. Keenum Sr. will be sentenced Dec. 30 for federal bank fraud. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports the 71-year-old Keenum pleaded guilty in August 2010 to a scheme to defraud BancorpSouth of Booneville through a $135,447 loan. He faces up to 30 years in prison and $1 million in fines. Keenum’s sentencing was delayed more than two years by a personal bankruptcy filing and difficulties in determining the total amount of the fraud, which has a bearing on guidelines presented to the judge. U.S. District Judge W. Allen Pepper Jr. will sentence him in Greenville.

Aberdeen school superintendent fired ABERDEEN — Aberdeen School Board members have voted to fire their top educator. Superintendent Chester Leigh tells WCBI TV the board dismissed him in executive session Monday night, but would not elaborate on the

matter. The TV stations also reports the board fired Phonecia Witherspoon, the district’s chief financial officer. Leigh has been superintendent of schools in Aberdeen since 2009.

OT costs concern Jackson council JACKSON — Jackson City Council members have expressed concern about the city’s $6 million overtime tab from fiscal 2011. The Clarion-Ledger reports city’s overtime costs went up 28 percent from 2010, when the tab was $4.7 million. As many as 50 employees averaged a 60-hour work week. Councilman Charles Tillman kick-started the discussion Tuesday by requesting information on employee overtime before he voted on a payroll item. Mayor Harvey Johnson Jr. has said he’s concerned with the high total and that he formed a committee in August to study the issue. But on Tuesday, he came to the defense of city employees, noting that in many cases, they volunteered for additional work to help cover for vacant positions.

Panel upholds ex-chief’s firing WAVELAND — The Waveland Civil Service Commission has unanimously upheld former Police Chief James Varnell’s firing. The Sun Herald reports the panel sided with the

MICHIE HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATES, LLC 731-239-9470 5823 HWY 22 South, Michie, TN Next to Michie Pharmacy Walk-ins Welcome

city’s administration, which had said Varnell’s inability to manage his department’s budget, the low morale within the force and 20 recent lawsuits that happened under his watch made the move necessary. Varnell was fired in August, but he appeared Tuesday before the commission to object to his termination and ask, not for his job back, but rather for the back pay he felt he was owed after losing the $57,000-ayear post. The five-member commission said it wasn’t allowed to award him back salary. Varnell represented himself at the hearing. After the decision, he said the process is unfair because the mayor and aldermen each get an appointment to the board, which rules on these issues.

Gang member gets 9 years for making meth GULFPORT — Prosecutors say a member of the Simon City Royals street gang has been sentenced to nine years and four months in prison for conspiring to manufacture meth. U.S. Attorney John Dowdy tells The Sun Herald U.S. District Judge Walter Gex III sentenced Steven Mitchel Henthorn on Tuesday, and ordered the federal prison term be served after Henthorn finishes a state prison sentence for distributing meth in Marshall County. Court documents show Henthorn blamed his legal problems on a meth addiction during his sentencing hearing.

Obama’s crossover message, from kitchen to mansion BY JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Donna and Patrick Festa, a working-class couple in Scranton, Pa., and Jack Rosen, an affluent businessman from New York’s Upper East Side, live worlds apart. Campaigning for re-election, President Barack Obama dips into both worlds. On a recent trip, he joined the Festas in their tidy South Scranton home to discuss his jobs initiatives. Hours later, he was in Rosen’s spacious house, amid a trove of contemporary art, raising money from high-dollar donors. As he focuses his message on income inequality, Obama’s policy and political goals find him spanning the gulf between the 1 percent and the 99. The White House is increasingly relying on working-class Americans to put a face on the president’s economic policies, arranging kitchen table chats or cafi roundtables between Obama and representative beneficiaries of his initiatives. It’s an involved process, requiring advance vetting to get the most illustrative individual or family to reinforce the president’s agenda. It’s a blend of reality and stagecraft designed to convey a front-page image or a six-second video clip on

the evening news that advances the president’s story line. At the same time, with re-election in mind, the president is spending more and more time raising campaign money from wealthy donors. Intimate moments with contributors are rarely captured on camera, and while reporters get to hear the president’s opening remarks at fundraising events, the interaction with donors occurs after reporters have been ushered out. The juxtaposition may seem stark — from coffee mugs to wine crystals, from a middle-class neighborhood in Las Vegas to the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. But Obama’s message to both is a variation on what has become a common refrain of spending to create jobs, payroll tax cuts and higher taxes on the wealthy. “We don’t just ask for sacrifices from seniors, we don’t just ask for sacrifices from union members, we don’t just ask for sacrifices from teachers, we ask for sacrifices from the people who are in the best position to sacrifice,� he told donors recently. Still, the contrast can provide rich fodder for Republican attacks. After Obama in October attended one fundraiser hosted by actor Will Smith and producer James Lassiter

and another by the star couple Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, the Republican National Committee pounced with a news release headlined, “As Americans Continue to Deal With the Effects of Obamanomics, Obama Connects With His Celebrity Friends.� No doubt, all leading candidates for president raise money from wealthy donors, and fundraising by incumbent presidents is especially visible. For the White House, it’s a matter of sticking to the same message no matter who the audience is. “Anyone who’s in the game has to be sensitive to the fact that he’s going to be appearing before well-dressed, deep-pocketed audiences in very fancy houses and penthouse suites,� said Chris Lehane, a Democratic operative and presidential campaign veteran. “You always have to be conscious and recognize the imperative of being consistent.� When addressing donors, Obama says he is willing to cut spending but he also is asking “the most fortunate among us to do a little more to pay their fair share.� “We’re not trying to sneak one by them,� White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. “They understand, and they support the president because of it.�

Alexander Graham Bell recordings played at Library of Congress from 1880s BY BRETT ZONGKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Alexander Graham Bell foresaw many things, including that people could someday talk over a telephone. Yet the inventor certainly never could have anticipated that his audiorecording experiments in a Washington, D.C., lab could be recovered 130 years later and played for a gathering of scientists, curators and journalists. “To be or not to be...� a man’s voice can be heard

saying in one recording as it was played on a computer at the Library of Congress on Tuesday. The speaker from the 1880s recites a portion of Hamlet’s Soliloquy as a green wax disc crackles to life from computer speakers. The early audio recordings — which revealed recitations of Shakespeare, numbers and other familiar lines — had been packed away and deemed obsolete at the Smithsonian Institution for more than a century. But new

technology has allowed them to be recovered and played. The technology reads the sound from tiny grooves with light and a 3D camera. The recordings offer a glimpse into the dawn of the information age, when inventors were scrambling to make new discoveries and secure patents for the first telephones and phonographs, even early fiber optics. A second recording, on a copper negative disc, played back Tuesday reveals a trill of the tongue and someone reciting the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6. A third recording catches perhaps the first

sound of disappointment as Bell’s recording device seemed to hit a technical glitch. “Mary had a little lamb and its fleece was white as snow,� a voice says. “Everywhere that Mary went — Oh no!� On Nov. 17, 1884, Bell’s lab recorded the word “barometer� several times on a glass disc with a beam of light. It and about 200 other experimental records were packed up and given to the Smithsonian, seemingly never to be played again. The recordings date back to the 1880s. Bell had moved from Boston to Washington after obtaining a patent on March

10, 1876 for his invention of the telephone, which occurred when his employee Thomas Watson heard him shouting over a wire in the next room. He joined a growing group of scientists who made the nation’s capital a hotbed for innovations.

Another RIMM slide? BlackBerry maker Research in Motion has been steadily losing ground to the iPhone, and its thirdquarter earnings are likely to show that trend continuing. Apple introduced its latest iPhone, the 4S, during the quarter. And Sprint began selling the phone for the first time. Investors will want to hear about Research in Motion’s plans to introduce its QNX operating system. It’s designed to compete with the iPhone and phones that run on Google’s Android software.

They deposited a net $42 billion into money market mutual funds in November, according to the research firm Strategic Insight. The volatility in stocks during the month sent investors back to the safety of these funds after they had optimistically withdrawn a net $21 billion in October. The S&P 500 was down as much as 7 percent during November, then recovered to a loss of under 1 percent. The cash added to money market mutual funds last month was also a reversal of the trend this year. Investors have withdrawn a net $173 billion since Jan. 1. The appeal of these funds as an investment has faded because returns have been barely above zero since early 2009. They follow short-term interest rates. When investors put money back into the funds, they’re putting safety above returns.

Safety first

Strategic Insight also reports that investors:

WITHDREW...

DEPOSITED... WITHDREW... ... a net $16.1 billion from stock mutual funds last month. That was the seventh straight month of withdrawals. Stocks were hurt by concerns that Europe’s debt crisis would harm the U.S. economy. Investors have withdrawn a net $65 billion from stock funds this year. That exceeds the $49 billion for all of 2010.

... a net $2.6 billion from foreign stock funds last month. Companies in other countries are seen as more vulnerable than U.S. businesses to global economic problems. Their stocks were also hurt by China’s slowing economic growth. November’s withdrawals were also a shift from investors’ strategy for much of the year. They’ve deposited a net $45 billion into foreign funds in 2011 as they bet that emerging markets would have strong long-term growth.

... a net $11.9 billion into bond funds last month. About $9 billion in new cash was added to taxable bond funds, a category that includes corporate bonds. Corporate bonds are seen as safer than stocks. Nearly $3 billion was deposited last month into municipal bond funds that invest in the debt of state and local governments. Bond funds have had total net deposits of $104 billion this year.

Is the job market on a roll? An encouraging sign about the job market has been a drop in the number of people who have applied for unemployment benefits. Last week, the government said 381,000 people sought benefits in the week ended Wednesday’s close: $15.69 Dec. 3. If that number falls below 52-week price range: 375,000 and stays there, economists $15.41 $69.30 believe unemployment could start to fall steadily. The weekly count of apOperating EPS plications fluctuates, but the four3Q ’11 1.74 week average is considered a more 3Q ’12 (est) 1.15 reliable indicator of the job market. It’s at an eight-month low. Price-earnings ratio: 3

Discover earnings Discover Financial Services has been one of the best financial stocks this year because consumers have been more willing to spend as the economy has shown signs of improvement. Its fourth-quarter earnings will show how much Discover has benefited from that trend, and how strong the holiday shopping season has been. Discover may, like other card issuers, say more consumers are defaulting on payments. But overall, its customers are seen as having strong payment records.

Depth has Lions off and running BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

BIGGERSVILLE — Imitation has been called the sincerest form of flattery. If so, the Biggersville Lions should be blushing. Using a formula that helped translate into a state championship, first-year Lion Head Coach Cliff Little is making use of his entire roster. In Tuesday’s win over Thrasher, 15 players had logged time before the break and 16 of the 17-deep unit scored in the 90-62 win. “That’s the way I used to do it ... use depth,” said Little, who led East Webster to the Class 1A title in 2007-2008. “We want to run our opponent to death if we can and wear them out by the fourth quarter.”

Biggersville (8-2, 4-0 Division 1-1A) led just 32-23 at the break. The Lions used a 58-39 advantage in the second half to hit the 90-point mark for the third time this season. “We want to play as fast as we possibly can,” said Little. “Defensively we want to apply pressure from one end to the other.” BHS is averaging 76.6 points per game, scoring 80 or more six times. The Lions are averaging just over four threepoint field goals per game, despite scoring 92 without the benefit of an extra-point bucket in Game Four. Little wants good shots out of the Lions fast-paced attack instead of settling for a bad shot quickly. BHS took 49 shots in the first half Tuesday

night, only 13 from beyond the arc. “Everyone has the green light to attack the rim,” said Little. “I want them all to score and they’re all capable of doing that.” Six Lions are averaging five or more points per game, paced by Dexter Stafford’s 18.5 per contest. Stafford was held to just five points Tuesday, just the fifth time he hasn’t scored in double figures the last 59 games. “It’s good to win without him having to score a lot of points,” said Little. “We’re glad to have him, but we’re not a one-man team.” Tevin Watson is second on the club in scoring at 8.7 per game. Blake Anderson is right behind him at 8.6. Both Watson and Anderson

lead the team with 13 threepointers. Watson, Anderson and Stafford all boast 26-point efforts this season. Fourteen different players scored in an 86-56 win over Pine Grove on Dec. 9. That was key for Little as the Lions bounced back from a 71-65 loss to Alcorn Central. Against Central, Biggersville led 42-33 behind 16 firsthalf points from Stafford. The Bears packed it in on the senior the second half -- holding him to four points -- and only three other Lions scored the final 16 minutes. “We didn’t make Alcorn Central pay,” said Little. “We used that loss to push everyone to attack the rim.” Biggersville resumes 1-1A play on Friday when it plays host to Falkner.

Corinth triad makes All-State Softball BY JAMES MCQUAID MURPHY jmurphy@dailycorinthian.com

Three local athletes recently made the roster of the Mississippi High School Athletic Association’s (MHSAA) Slow Pitch Softball All-State Tournament Team, with two of them also earning All-Di-

vision 1-4A Player of the Year status. Erin Frazier won the division title Offensive Player of the Year for her outstanding season, batting in 45 runs and 11 homers for a .904 SLG and a batting average of .580. Frazier slugged seven doubles on a total of 46 hits, with 94 at-

bats. Junior Stennett Smith was similarly named Defensive Player of the Year, with a fielding percentage of .900 and 103 assists, topped by a staggering 95 put-outs. Smith followed Frazier at 63 hits, batting in 54 counting 22 doubles and six home runs.

Smith’s on-base percentage was .541, with an SLG of .856 and a batting average of .564. She had 125 at-bats. Second on the all-state team was junior Portia Patterson, who also made AllDivision 1-4A First Team. Please see SOFTBALL | 9

It may be cold, but CHS togga is hot Warriors’ offense catches on fire BY JAMES MCQUAID MURPHY jmurphy@dailycorinthian.com

If you haven’t had a chance to catch a game of Corinth High School (CHS) togga, now might be the time to load up on some thermal wick and hand warmers and drag yourself on down to their next away game in New Albany. “It may be cold out,” said Dr. Cindy Mathis, who regularly reports the togga scores. “So bring a sleeping bag. I do!” Friday at 4 p.m. the Lady Warriors will open their 16th game on a 9-6 record, while their male co-quivalents tout an 11-game no-loss wampum stick (10-2-2) for the Bulldogs to try and take a chew on. The Warriors average 3.6 points per game this season, roughly seven-per over their last three bouts, with John Mathis proving himself to be “The Boy Done Good” this season, as he leads the Warriors with 24 goals on a team total of 51 to date.

Mathis is also the master of hat-tricks, pulling in an average four points-per over the Warriors’ last four outings. He sank four of a season game-high five in the early doors of a recent win over Amory, three of those coming German-style, i.e. in a flawless back-to-back triple. The only thing that remains for Mathis to perform is what’s called a Golden Hattrick: one with the left boot, one with the right, and one off the head. No doubt he’ll pull that trick sometime this season if he continues unhindered by the competition. For those attending the away match with New Alb, you can generally look for Mathis to leather one in early on to open the Corinth scoring, with Josh Trest, Brandon Roberson or John Michael McFall generally flanking, who bring a combined season back-up of 17 to the charts on scoring.

Override challenge threatens NCAA’s $2,000 stipend The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA’s plan to give athletes a $2,000 stipend may be in trouble. The legislation, passed in October, now faces an override challenge at January’s annual NCAA convention, a decision that could create an

unusual discrepancy between recruits who have already signed national letters-of-intent and those who have not. David Berst, the Division I vice president of governance, acknowledged Wednesday that about 1,000 players signed with schools in November, and those who did

it with the promise of getting an additional $2,000 toward the so-called “full cost of attendance” would still get their extra money. Those who did not, may not. “I would hope we don’t end up with that, but it could happen,” Berst told The Associated Press.

Berst said 97 schools have signed onto the override measure, more than the 75 needed for the NCAA board to reconsider the stipend. If that number hits 125 by Dec. 26, the legislation would be suspended. Please see NCAA | 9

Patterson had 131 at-bats for a total of 76 hits. She batted seven home runs, three triples, and 21 doubles, ending her season with 30 RBIs for an SLG of .947. Her batting average was .580, counting an on-base percentage of .601. She also closed the season with 73 put-outs on defense. Several other CHS Lady Warriors made the Division1-4A First Team, including Bailee Kramer, Haley Christian, Elizabeth Williams and Jamia Kirk. CHS Coach Janna LaBarreare was also recently named The Daily Journal’s 2011 Slow-Pitch Softball Coach of the Year, while the Frazier-Patterson-Smith triad also got selected for the paper’s 2011 All-Area Top 10. 2011 was indeed a remarkable season for the Lady Warriors, who ended a wild ride at the MHSAA Division 4A Finals as the state runner-up to Newton County, who topped Corinth’s 26-9 season with a perfect 35-0 record for the Lady Cougars. It was the first season that CHS played in Division 4A following a reclassification by the MHSAA.

NCAA: Directors face three options CONTINUED FROM 8

Either way, the Division I Board of Directors has three options: Rescind the stipend and operate under previous NCAA rules, modify the rule or create a new proposal that would go back to the schools for another 60-day comment period, or allow members to vote on the override. It would a take 5/8ths majority of the roughly 350 Division I members to pass. If the legislation is changed or rescinded, athletes who signed with the expectation of receiving additional money might bring legal action if they did not get it. That puts the NCAA in the position of perhaps having to impose two competing rules this year. “We would honor the agreements that have taken place,� Berst said. “So even if you were to rescind the rule as of Dec. 26 and not operate under that rule in the future, we would honor those agreements. I think that causes the board to redouble its efforts at the January meeting.�

CHS: Warriors attempt to maintain Division 1-4A leadership against New Albany CONTINUED FROM 8

Meanwhile goal-keeper Cullen Grantham keeps a remarkably clean sheet on the season, doing a good job as tender to clear away and close down the opposition attack. With eight games where the Warriors only gave away one to the enemy, combined with four shut-out victories and a single two-point loss to Starkville as their worst outing, it’s fair enough to label them your local best as far

as “Onion Bag Masters.� Grantham even earned a game-high record of nine saves against North Pontotoc, in a 4-1 win for the local tribe. While New Albany is no rival derby game exactly, it is Corinth’s third division outing, and both Warrior units are Division 1-4A leaders, ranking 2-0 at the season midpoint. They have three more division games to come in Jan. 2012 prior to any playoff or post-season action. So it well deserves a watch

for fans of high school athletics, and of togga in particular. What’s more, consider this... The Bulldogs actually beat the Warrior men 1-0 during a pre-season jamboree on Oct. 29, while the Lady Warriors dispensed the Bulldog-ettes on a 2-0 sweep. Then again, the Warriors and their ladies did a reverse split from their pre-season performance in a recent match against Amory. While the Lady Panthers put a stop to the

Sources: Hornets, Clippers agree on Paul trade NEW ORLEANS — The Hornets have agreed in principle to deal Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers for guard Eric Gordon, forward Al-Farouq Aminu, center Chris Kaman and a first-round draft choice, people familiar with negotiations said. ESPN, citing anonymous sources, first reported the

MISC.

trade, which also involves New Orleans sending two future second-round draft picks to the Clippers. Commissioner David Stern approved the trade on behalf of the league-owned team, people told The Associated Press Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the NBA had not ratified the deal. The 26-year-old Paul is a

four-time All-Star who averaged 18.7 points and 9.8 assists last season, his sixth in the NBA. His move to the Clippers means he’ll now be able to make alley-oop lobs to a young star famous for dunking over a car. That would be forward Blake Griffin, who averaged 22.5 points and 12.1 rebounds last season, his first in the NBA. The Hornets, meanwhile,

get a prolific young shooting guard in Gordon, who turns 23 on Christmas Day and averaged 22.3 points last season. The 6-foot-9 Aminu is a second-year pro who averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds as a rookie. The 7-foot Kaman, 29, is an eight-year veteran who averaged 12.4 points and seven rebounds last season.

Corinth girls 4-1 last Saturday, the Warriors took the reverse split for a 6-1 victory over their pre-season jamboree loss. Will the Corinth units pull another reverse split against New Albany, the girls winning and the boys losing? Or will the boys carry their streak further in their 15th match-up against New Albany? Grab your wick layers and come fine out, and be there at 4pm if you want to catch the explosive performance of eighthgrader Sierra Manness, who leads the ladies for 12 of their combined 30 goals this season. Flanking Manness is fellow forward and senior Olivia Suitor, who leads the team on five assists, backed by underclassman mid-fielders Stennett Smith, Brianna Scobey, and Frances Bullard. Smith, Scobey and Bullard have combined this season for another 10 on scoring and seven assists. As for the Warriors, you can look for the mens game to start around 5:30, about the same time the sleeping bags come out.

Jason Pierre-Paul

JASON PIERRE-PAUL, DE, GIANTS The 6'5", 278-pound second-year end out of South Florida has drawn comparisons to the original “Freak,” Jevon Kearse; and JPP showed just what an unbelievable athlete he is during New York’s 37–34 win over Dallas on Sunday night at Jerry’s House. Pierre-Paul’s wingspan seemingly stretched from sideline-to-sideline, as the one-man Big Blue Wrecking Crew recorded eight tackles, two sacks — including one safety — one forced fumble and a blocked kick on the potential game-tying field goal. After notching 4.5 sacks as a rookie, JPP has 12.5 through 13 games during what is likely the first of many Pro Bowl seasons for the 22-year-old. ROB GRONKOWSKI, TE, PATRIOTS Another incredible physical specimen in his second season, the “Gronk” had six catches for a career-high 160 yards and two record-breaking TD grabs during a 34–27 win at Washington. In the process, the 6'6", 265-pounder out of Arizona set the all-time single-season record for TD catches by a tight end. Gronkowski’s 14th and 15th TDs — an 11-yard strike and 37-yard highlight run — moved Tom Brady’s go-to guy past Antonio Gates (2004) and Vernon Davis (2009), who each hauled in 13 TDs. TERRELL SUGGS, LB, RAVENS The Colts’ return to Baltimore — where they played from 1953-83 — was not quite the homecoming the horseshoes were hoping for. The Ravens sent the league’s lone remaining winless team back to Indianapolis in impressive fashion during the 24–10 contest. Suggs led the way with three sacks and three forced fumbles, as the Ravens defense forced six Colts punts, while holding Indy to just three points through three quarters. Over the past three weeks, Suggs has recorded seven sacks and four forced fumbles, giving him 13.0 sacks and six forced fumbles this season. MATT PRATER, K, BRONCOS Say whatever you want about Tim Tebow or the Denver defense, but the latest Broncos miracle was a result of the golden right foot of Prater — who bombed a career-long and game-tying 59-yard field goal with three seconds remaining in regulation before splitting the uprights on a 51-yard field goal in overtime to seal a 13–10 win over the Bears. After entering their Week 6 bye with a 1–4 record, the Broncos have won seven of their last eight, including six straight, and are currently sitting alone in first place of the AFC West division standings.

■ With fantasy playoff berths on the line, Jaguars running back MAURICE JONES-DREW came through in the clutch — with 85 rush yards and two TDs on the ground, along with six catches for 51 yards and two TDs through the air. Thanks in large part to Mojo’s rising, Jacksonville beat Tampa Bay, 41–14, and fantasy owners on the playoff bubble punched their ticket to the postseason.

Houston: No Problem Texans earn franchise’s first playoff berth By NATHAN RUSH Athlon Sports Editor

Houston, we have lift off — the Texans are AFC South champs and rocketing into the postseason for the first time since the franchise arrived on the NFL horizon as an expansion team in 2002. A dramatic 20–19 comeback win at Cincinnati — the Texans’ seventh straight victory — coupled with a 22–17 Tennessee loss to New Orleans, secures a trip to the playoffs for owner Bob McNair and the coach he stood by since 2006, Houston native Gary Kubiak. “It’s pretty crazy,” said rookie thirdstring-turned-starting quarterback T.J. Yates. “A lot of people in this organization have waited a long time for this. This is a special day for this team and this organization.” After starter Matt Schaub (Lisfranc) and backup Matt Leinart (collarbone) suffered season-ending injuries in back-to-back weeks earlier this year, many thought the Texans were quarterback-less and their subsequent playoff chances were hopeless. But Yates — with plenty of help from the team’s power running game and stout defense — has stepped up to lead the Texans to their 10–3 mark. A fifth-round pick (No. 152 overall) out of North Carolina, Yates was the ninth quarterback selected in the draft but has shown poise beyond his years thus far as Houston’s top passer — leading the team to a win over the Jaguars after coming off the bench in place of Leinart, and going 2–0 as a starter against the Falcons and on the road in the playoff-clincher against the Bengals.

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster headlines the league’s No. 2 rushing offense, which has taken the pressure off of rookie third-string quarterback T.J. Yates.

While Yates has been impressive as a rookie thrown into the fire, the keys to the Texans’ success have been their running game led by the one-two punch of Arian Foster (957 yards, eight TDs) and Ben Tate (820 yards), and the hybrid defense coordinated by Wade Phillips. The league’s No. 1 overall defense (274.9 ypg) is as balanced as they come — ranking No. 3 against the pass (183.5 ypg) and No. 4 against the run (91.5 ypg) — numbers that are even more impressive considering the loss of All-Pro pass rusher Mario Williams, whose torn pectoral muscle ended his season in Week 5. Rob Doster 135-73 Falcons by 6 Cowboys by 7 Bengals by 3 Bills by 2 Titans by 9 Giants by 7 Saints by 8 Packers by 10 Texans by 2 Bears by 1 Raiders by 3 Eagles by 1 Cardinals by 2 Patriots by 4 Ravens by 1 Steelers by 2

With the playoffs on the line, Phillips’ stop-unit held the Bengals to 81 total yards in the second half — limiting Cincinnati running back Cedric Benson to minus-one yard on eight carries after halftime. The Texans may not have an elite quarterback, but Kubiak’s formula of ground-and-pound offense, and don’tbend-or-break defense has historically worked for teams in the playoffs. And that has Houston fans fired up for their turn to flex postseason muscle. “I’m a proud Houstonian like everybody else. And to see the excitement in our town,” said Kubiak, “it’s pretty cool. It’s been exciting.”

JAGUARS (4-9) AT FALCONS (8-5) The Dirty Birds have not been great closers, but they have won the games they were expected to win at home — with only defeats to the Packers and Saints (in overtime) in the friendly confines of the Georgia Dome this season. COWBOYS (7-6) AT BUCCANEERS (4-9) The first Saturday night game of the season pits two teams licking their wounds. The Boys have lost back-to-back games on painful missed potential game-winning field goals — both of which came after timeouts that “iced” kicker Dan Bailey. The Bucs have simply lost seven straight games and are desperate to win. BENGALS (7-6) AT RAMS (2-11) St. Louis is the Gateway to the second-Worst team in the NFL (and No. 2 pick in the draft); Cincy is still eyeing a longshot playoff berth. DOLPHINS (4-9) AT BILLS (5-8) Miami crushed Buffalo, 35–8, in Week 11. That was the Bills’ third straight loss in a streak that has since grown to six consecutive defeats. TITANS (7-6) AT COLTS (0-13) Rookie Jake Locker could make his first start of the season, following a left calf injury to old man Matt Hasselbeck. But Tennessee is just hoping to avoid handing Indy its first win of the year. The Titans still have an outside shot at a Wild Card berth, but must win their last three. REDSKINS (4-9) AT GIANTS (7-6) Comeback king of New York, Eli Manning, will be looking to avenge a 28–14 Week 1 loss at Washington when the G-Men host the Skins. SAINTS (10-3) AT VIKINGS (2-11) Drew Brees loves playing indoors. N’Awlins is 3–2 in the elements this season and 7–1 under a roof in a temperature-controlled dome. PACKERS (13-0) AT CHIEFS (5-8) Expect to hear plenty of great quotes from Vince Lombardi and Hank Stram prior to this rematch of Super Bowl I, which the Packers won 35–10 on Jan. 15, 1967 in Los Angeles. PANTHERS (4-9) AT TEXANS (10-3) Cam Newton hits Houston looking to win his third straight road game, after taking victories in Indy and Tampa Bay in Weeks 12 and 13. SEAHAWKS (6-7) AT BEARS (7-6) Chicago has gone 0–3 since Jay Cutler’s thumb injury; the Hawks are 4–1 the past five weeks. LIONS (8-5) AT RAIDERS (7-6) Ndamukong Suh returns just in time to show the Black Hole what a real scary, dirty player looks and acts like on and off the field. JETS (8-5) AT EAGLES (5-8) This meeting would have been a quote-board bonanza earlier this season. As it stands, Philly’s only role is that of Jets spoiler. BROWNS (4-9) AT CARDINALS (6-7) Phoenix is rising, having won five of its last six games following a 1–6 start to the season. PATRIOTS (10-3) AT BRONCOS (8-5) Tom Brady and Tim Tebow are carrying a combined 10–0 record, with 18 TDs and two INTs over the past five weeks. This week, however, either Tom or Tim Terrific will suffer a loss. RAVENS (10-3) AT CHARGERS (6-7) San Diego needs to win out and have Denver and Oakland fall apart in order to contend for the AFC West title. Meanwhile, Baltimore is jockeying for homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. Both teams badly need this win. STEELERS (10-3) AT 49ERS (10-3) Both of Pittsburgh’s top two offensive players — quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and center Maurkice Pouncey — have been diagnosed with high-ankle sprains and are questionable heading into this Monday night matchup with the fifth-ranked overall defense (305.1 ypg) and No. 1 rush defense (70.5 ypg). The Niners could use a win, however, having lost two of their last three after a 9–1 start to the season.

McCoy’s concussion could lead to league changes Associated Press

CLEVELAND — An investigation by the NFL and Players Association into the Browns’ handling of Colt McCoy’s concussion could lead to changes in the league’s medical procedures and protocol on head injuries. McCoy sustained a concussion when he was hit last week by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, who was suspended for one game for the helmet-to-helmet hit, his fifth illegal one on a quarterback in the past three seasons. League and NFLPA representatives are meeting with the

Browns on Tuesday to discuss McCoy’s injury, which may have exposed some previously unaddressed issues tied to the concussion policies. In an email response to The Associated Press, league spokesman Greg Aiello said the purpose of the meeting “is to examine procedures and identify areas for further discussion with other medical experts, Commissioner Goodell and the union.” Aiello said any changes in policy or procedure would be made by Goodell and in conjunction with the league’s medical committee and the union.

NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith acknowledged the union is taking part in the review. “We made visits pursuant to new procedures in the CBA that are designed to protect our players,” he said in a statement. “We will examine what we learned and take whatever steps that are necessary” to ensure player safety. The Browns said McCoy, whose head snapped back after he was struck on the facemask, did not show symptoms of a concussion until after the game. Coach Pat Shurmur claims the

team followed medical protocol before the second-year quarterback was allowed to return just minutes after absorbing the vicious hit. On Monday, Shurmur refused to answer direct questions whether the team administered standardized concussion tests for McCoy while he was on the sideline. Shurmur said head trainer Joe Sheehan told him McCoy was ready to go back in the game. “I feel like we followed the normal medical procedures necessary,” Shurmur said. “We followed the procedures to deter-

mine whether he was eligible to play.” McCoy was sent home before practice on Monday to rest as he recovers from his concussion, the ninth suffered by a Cleveland player this season. Shurmur is hopeful McCoy will be able to play at Arizona this Sunday. Backup Seneca Wallace will make his first start of the season if McCoy is ruled out. Wallace came in for two plays after McCoy was briefly knocked out of the game by Harrison. The Browns have come under intense scrutiny for the way they dealt with McCoy’s injury.

Former POW Jessica Lynch finishing teaching degree BY VICKI SMITH Associated Press

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Jessica Lynch was just 19 when the world first saw her — a broken, blond soldier caught on combat video in Iraq, her face wearing something between a grimace and a grin. The Army supply clerk was being carried on a stretcher after nine days as a prisoner of war. She had been captured along with five others after the 507th Maintenance Company took a wrong turn and came under attack in Nasiriyah on March 23, 2003. Eleven of her fellow soldiers died. Lynch had joined the Army at 18 to earn money for college and become a school teacher. This Friday, at 28, she completes that mission. She’ll spend Thursday finishing her training as a student teacher at the same elementary school she attended in sparsely populated Wirt County. Then, on badly damaged legs and a right foot that still pains her, she’ll walk across a stage Friday evening and get her education degree

from West Virginia University at Parkersburg. “It’s tough to walk, but I look at it as, ‘At least I’m walking,�’ she says. “At least I have my legs. They may not work. I have no feeling in the left one. But it’s attached, at least. ... At least I’m alive.� Nearly 4,500 Americans died and some 32,000 were wounded during the war in Iraq, winding down this month as the last American troops withdraw. The first woman lost was Lynch’s friend and fellow soldier, 23-year-old Army Pfc. Lori Ann Piestewa of Arizona, killed in the convoy attack. “Knowing she died right beside me and that could fairly well have been me brings a whole new perspective,� Lynch said. “You’re just thankful for what you’ve been given, even if it’s not what you wanted.� Today, Lynch and longtime boyfriend Wes Robinson are parents to 5-yearold Dakota, whose name honors her fallen American Indian friend. Marriage, she says, is in the plan, but there’s no rush. What matters is the comfort she finds

“By looking at me through a picture, you’d never know anything is wrong. I fake it. But my family, my friends ... they know when I’m really in pain.� Jessica Lynch Former POW

“The bottom line is the American people are capable of determining their own ideals of heroes,� she told Congress in 2007, “and they don’t need to be told elaborate lies.� And the lies cost her. For a long time, she got hate mail. Some said she’d done nothing to deserve the attention or the title of hero. She once told Glamour magazine she felt like “the most hated person in America.� Every now and then, after a high-profile appearance, a hateful missive still arrives. “They say things like, ‘Who do you think you are? That was so eight years ago,�’ Lynch said. “I just don’t respond. It just doesn’t bother me anymore. It used to, because I couldn’t understand why

in her family. They are there when she’s overcome by stress or shaken by the nightmares that still sometimes come. “By looking at me through a picture, you’d never know anything is wrong,� she said. “I fake it. But my family, my friends ... they know when I’m really in pain.� When she was rescued, the U.S. government used footage of Lynch to spin a tale that exaggerated the truth. To make her seem more heroic and rally public support for the war, the military claimed she’d gone down firing — when, in fact, her rifle had jammed. She wrote a book, “I Am A Soldier, Too,� with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Rick Bragg, and has repeatedly worked to set the record straight.

people were hating me. I was just a soldier like the 100,000 others over there.� Literally and figuratively, she said, she now has a stronger backbone. “I just let things roll off.� Lynch said she’ll take a semester off to travel and spend time with Dakota before the child starts school. Lynch hopes to start work soon on a master’s degree in communications. She’ll also continue her speaking engagements with children and with veterans’ groups. At those events, without fail, the most common question is whether she was shot. “I can’t answer because I don’t even know myself,� she says. “There’s never been actual proof.� The crash of her Humvee is believed to have caused her injuries, which also included spinal fractures, nerve damage and a shattered right arm. Sometimes Lynch is paid for her appearances. Often, she asks the audience to donate to Jessi’s Pals, a venture she launched to provide blankets and stuffed animals to patients at WVU Children’s Hospi-

tal. Awkward questions aside, she thrives on the interaction of those three to five lectures a month. Four years ago, Lynch said she wanted to bow out of the spotlight and have a normal life. But now, attention is normal. She is often recognized. Sometimes she’s caught with a mouthful of food as people speak to her and try to touch her. She is no longer annoyed. She embraces it. She says hello and introduces herself to people who know her face but can’t quite place it. “Honestly, it does surprise me that so many people still are familiar with the story. I sometimes get taken aback when I hear people talking about it because it’s like reading it in a book,� Lynch said. “I forget, ‘That’s me.�’ If her fame has one benefit, it’s the reminder that people are still thinking about U.S. troops, at home and overseas. “And that’s good,� Lynch said, “because they still need our prayers just like they did nine or 10 years ago.�

Spielberg, Jackson introduce Tintin to America So who’s Tintin? He’s an intrepid young reporter with an odd tuft of ginger hair who barrels and burrows into a story until he becomes the story, traveling the world in pursuit of crooks, treasure, mysteries and a grand good time.

BY DAVID GERMAIN Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Steven Spielberg hopes he’s the typical American when it comes to Tintin: the filmmaker had never heard of the guy, but once he got acquainted, they became friends for life. Peter Jackson knows he’s the typical non-American when it comes to Tintin: he’s known him since before he could read, and the character’s globe-trotting adventures are part of his own storytelling DNA. Together, the two Academy Award-winning filmmakers hope to achieve something that eluded Belgian artist and writer Herge with his Tintin books: a place for his hero in North America. “The Adventures of Tintin,” directed by Spielberg and produced by Jackson,

already is a global blockbuster, approaching $250 million at the worldwide box office as it heads into U.S. theaters Dec. 21, two months after it began rolling out to theaters overseas. It’s a reverse of egocentric Hollywood’s old pattern, where a film such as Spielberg’s “Jaws” would run its course domestically and trickle out to the rest of the world months later. Today, most big franchise flicks open nearly everywhere around the same time, but “Tintin” was that rare one that needed the goodwill of huge foreign audiences to sell U.S. crowds on a hero about whom, like Spielberg,

rows into a story until he becomes the story, traveling the world in pursuit of crooks, treasure, mysteries and a grand good time. Tintin’s accompanied by his resourceful dog Snowy, and in most of the comicbook tales of Herge, the pen name of Georges Remi, by boozy seaman Captain Haddock. The stories span decades, from the character’s creation in the late 1920s until 1983, when Herge died leaving behind his unfinished 24th Tintin book. “The Adventures of Tintin” combines elements from three books — “The Secret of the Unicorn,”

most of them had never heard. “This is an international title,” Spielberg said in an interview alongside Jackson at last summer’s Comic-Con fan convention, where they showed off footage of “The Adventures of Tintin.” “It was written and embraced by children of all ages in 55 languages, all over the world except in North America, and that is what motivated us to debut and give a full two months of ‘Tintin’ to the world that created and embraced him.” So who’s Tintin? He’s an intrepid young reporter with an odd tuft of ginger hair who barrels and bur-

“The Crab with the Golden Claws” and “Red Rackham’s Treasure.” The story sends Tintin (Jamie Bell) and Haddock (Andy Serkis) on a race against villainous Sakharine (Daniel Craig) to find lost pirate booty. The books have been a beloved part of the initiation into reading for millions of children, among them New Zealander Jackson, 49, who recalled poring over Herge’s colorful comic panels before he could understand the words. “You grow up looking at Tintin — in my case, being an only child — he was like the brother that I wished I had,” Jackson said. “The

older brother that went on these adventures, dangerous adventures and exciting. And then as I grew older, Tintin stayed the same age, and I sort of became older than him. And you start to appreciate the satire and the world in which Herge lived in. The decades of incredible social upheaval in Europe. ... “There are layers in there that I find so fascinating now as an adult. Plus, you see the influences Herge was under, not just in the place and time that he lived, but also Hollywood films. He clearly had a love of Hollywood adventure films, probably from those early ’30s and ’40s days, because a lot of that feeling is in Tintin. Plus a love of silent comedy. Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, they’re all in there. ... We’ve tried to sort of layer all of that into the film.”

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — President Barack Obama saluted returning troops returning from Iraq Wednesday, declaring that the nearly nine-year conflict is ending honorably, “not with a final battle, but with a final march toward home.” Marking the conclusion of the war at this military base that’s seen more than 200 deaths over nearly nine years of fighting in Iraq, Obama never tried to declare victory. It was a war that he opposed from the start, inherited as president and is now bringing to a close, leaving behind an Iraq still struggling. But he sought to declare a noble end to a fight that has cost nearly 4,500 American lives and left about 32,000 wounded. “The war in Iraq will soon belong to history, and your service belongs to the ages,” he said, applauding their “extraordinary achievement.” All U.S. troops are to be out of Iraq Dec. 31, though Obama has pledged the U.S. will continue civilian assistance for Iraq as it faces an uncertain future in a volatile region of the world. Even as majorities in the U.S. public favor ending the war, some Republicans have criticized Obama’s withdrawal, arguing he’s leaving behind an unstable Iraq that could hurt U.S.

interests and fall subject to influence from neighboring Iran. Obama, appearing with first lady Michelle Obama, highlighted the human side of the war, reflecting on the bravery and sacrifices of U.S. forces now on their way back home. He recalled the start of the war, a time when he was only an Illinois state senator and many of the warriors before him were in grade school. “We knew this day would come. We have known it for some time now,” he said. “But still, there is something profound about the end of a war that has lasted so long.” Obama, who became president in part because of his opposition to the Iraq war, said the war faced twists and turns amid one constant: the patriotism and commitment of U.S. troops. “It is harder to end a war, than to begin one,” he said. Still, he made only passing mention of the enormous soul-searching the war caused in America, saying it “was a source of great controversy here at home, with patriots on both sides of the debate.” He did not mention that he had opposed it. He noted the early battles that defeated and deposed Saddam Hussein and what he called “the grind of insurgency” — roadside bombs, snipers and suicide attacks.

IS HELL REAL? Is hell real or just a figment of the imagination? The doctrine of bell has become so unpopular that many have eliminated it from their teaching. How long has it been since you heard a sermon on hell? The word hell comes from the Greek word GEHENN~which appears twelve times in the New Testament. It is used eleven times by Jesus and once by James. There are many good reasons for believing in hell. All nations believe in it, heaven suggests it, justice demands it and the Bible teaches’ it. Why are we warned of the judgment if it does not exist. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Heb 9:27). Why did the rich man want Lazarus to warn his brothers if hell is not real? “Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment’ (Luke 16:27-28). The universal law of sowing and reaping suggests that hell is real. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” (Gal 6:7-8). The population of bell will be larger than the population of heaven. “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matt 7:13-14).. The Devil and his angels will be part of the population of hell.. “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt 25:41). The punishment of the wicked and the reward of the righteous will be everlasting. “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal (Matt 25:46). The only time that we have to prepare for eternity is while we are living here on earth. “And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence” (Luke 16:26). Are we prepared for heaven or hell?

Horoscopes by Holiday BY HOLIDAY MATHIS The Leo moon that rules the day will exaggerate any stress caused by Mercury’s terse angle to Neptune. The aspect never quite comes together, though, and there will be many “funny stories” about close calls and near misses. Artful narratives will be invented to keep the excitement churning. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life isn’t a popularity contest, but if it were, you would win it today. You seem to have what people are looking for, and you’re willing to share it in just the right amount. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Avoid experiencing life in hyperbole. Discount exaggerations of the mind and word. When nothing is the best, worst, nicest or meanest, you can see it for what it really is. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are constantly issuing statements to the world, even when you don’t realize it. Your attitude and appearance speak for you. You’ll find the response you get in return a little surprising now. CANCER (June 22July 22). A burden is eased, and the relief you feel about this will bring

about a surge of self-control. You’ll work for healthy payoffs instead of settling for unhealthy, temporary benefits. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are highly involved in life, and the level of attention you give your interests can be personally demanding and sometimes downright inconvenient. But the joy you feel being in the mix of things makes it all worthwhile. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everyone shows off when they want attention. You’ll be artful in your attempts to capture interest, and that will make all the difference in the quality of attention you receive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People want to be associated with winners, and yet close contact with big personalities often breeds jealousy and discontent. You’ll be sorting through such issues over the next few days. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You aren’t born optimistic. You have to grow into the label by repeating the tendency to look on the bright side until it’s a habit. You’ll take hold of your thoughts and cultivate

good will. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you hear good news, take it as a sign. This is just the tip of the iceberg. From here on out, things get better and better. Believe and act in accordance, and it becomes true. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Recruiting is an art. Instead of merely asking people to join forces with you, turn it into an event. People are more seduced by celebration and ritual. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You’ll see the charm in things that others don’t want to think about. This is what sets you apart as a friendly force and an artistic influence on the otherwise ordinary. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When someone says “no” to you, you’ll be wise to take this as a good sign. A fast “no” is, after all, so much better than a “maybe” that drags on indefinitely. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 15). Entertaining and engaging social happenings will bring several opportunities to make useful connections and

enjoy different scenery. You’ll dump old baggage in February. In April, you’ll be a part of a new team. June and July feature professional growth and a greater sense of community and contribution. Gemini and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 39 and 41. NUMEROLOGY FUN WITH NUMBER EIGHT: Find your magic number 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 12/9/1976 add up to 35, and then three plus five equals eight, so the final number is 8. If EIGHT is your magic number, you see life as a grand mystery you will never completely figure out. You’re happy about that. Magic lives as long as you still have questions that are unanswered. Still, your drive to learn more guides your choices every day. You have a talent for understanding the inner workings of things. This is true on a mechanical, spiritual, political, societal and emotional level. Nothing exists in three

dimensions for you. Rather, life sprawls, tunneling down, springing up, stretching grandly before you in ever-deeper ways. You are playful and provocative and have a way of getting others to open up. For this reason, eights are often privy to secret information, which they guard with great loyalty. QUOTE FOR EIGHT: “Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here and right now. Don’t miss it.” -Leo Buscaglia CELEBRITY PROFILES: Adam Brody voices the lead character in a new animated series on MTV called “Good Vibes.” Born under a lucky sun, with Mercury and Neptune in Sagittarius as well, the actor has called his new project “kismet.” Sagittarians attract luck mainly because they radiate happy, easy-going vibes and stay open to the many ways in which luck can come to a person.

not her place. The child was giving her grandmother a goodbye gift. If the woman wanted to remove the stickers before the casket was closed, she should have done it after the child left the room. I have seen many friends and relatives place things in caskets as gifts and remembrances. It is not disrespectful to the deceased, but gives closure and a warm memory to those who are still living. Putting stickers on Grandma was the child’s way of saying goodbye. A funeral is a celebration of life and no matter what their age, people are entitled to say goodbye in their own way. — MELODY IN NEVADA DEAR ABBY: If the sticker incident is the worst that can be said about the 4-yearold’s behavior that day, what’s the harm? Had she thrown a tantrum during the service or before placing the stickers,

I’d agree that the child should not have been there. But since the behavior took place after “Saddened” made an issue of the stickers, the situation could have been handled more effectively. All “Saddened” had to do was wait until the service was over, take the funeral director aside privately and ask him to remove the stickers before the deceased was interred. No drama, no scene, no tantrum, and everybody goes home in peace. Funerals, like any other event, are only as stressful as you want them to be. — NO DRAMA, PLEASE DEAR ABBY: I own the West’s oldest funeral firm and I disagree with your answer. Funerals are about learning that we are mortal. To stand on ceremony when a young child is participating in one of life’s most important lessons misses the point. Memorials are not about formality but

humanity. Let the child place those stickers and let everyone learn something from that. — DAN IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR ABBY: Our grandchildren love stickers, put them all over themselves and their clothing, and are thrilled if they can share them with me to “wear” for a while. If any of our grandkids are still young enough to want to “decorate” me in my casket when I go, I would hope everyone around me would appreciate the gesture and smile at the loving relationship I had with that child. — GRANDMA OF (ALMOST) 13 Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
