The American Red Cross is open to having a presence in Corinth again.

But it all depends on having a willing volunteer to staff the offi ce, according to Northeast Mississippi Chapter Manager Patty Tucker, who presented a report and plea for fi nancial support to the Board of Alder-men on Tuesday.

The city has offered space at

City Hall in the past, and the of-fer still stands.

“If we can get a volunteer that would be willing to man this of-fi ce, we would love to do that,” said Tucker. “We have that in some of our other municipali-ties.”

She said the chapter cannot put a paid staff person in the of-fi ce.

The city has in recent years tied funding to having a local presence. While it does not cur-

rently have a local offi ce, the chapter is adding a Corinth res-ident, Lila McGee, to its board of directors.

“We need fi nancial support from the city,” said Tucker. “We don’t get United Way funding from Alcorn County. We want to be able to provide the same level of service that we provide in all of our counties in Alcorn County.”

The chapter also plans to boost its pool of volunteers in

the Corinth area.“We want more volunteers

trained in Alcorn County so when there’s a disaster in Al-corn County, Alcorn Countians will be the ones that assist them,” said the manager. “They will be trained and ready to hit the ground running.”

Tucker, who was accompa-nied by the chapter’s board chairman, recapped statistics for the past fi scal year includ-ing $16,976 given to 16 Alcorn

County families assisted fol-lowing house fi res; 29 military calls; and more than 200 peo-ple involved in various train-ing.

“As a whole in 2013, we touched the lives of 310 indi-viduals right here in Alcorn County through the American Red Cross,” said Tucker.

Alcorn County has been ser-viced by the Northeast Missis-sippi Chapter since the Alcorn chapter ceased operations.

The Alcorn School District cares about their students.

School administrators, teachers and parents met Tues-day night for a town hall dis-cussion on dropout prevention.

The meeting, titled “Reach the Heart–Teach the Mind” highlighted the district’s cur-rent dropout rates verses the state average and some of the improvements each school has made to help prevent student dropout.

“The number of dropouts we

have in our district not only im-pacts our overall state ratings, but also affects the local econo-my,” said Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith. “Tax revenue is lost, crime increases and the literacy and health of our com-munity is affected.”

It is the educators responsi-bly to reach out to students in need and ensure them teachers care, according to Smith.

“The Mississippi Department of Education identifi es three subgroups in student popula-tion,” said Elizabeth Wamsley on behalf of the school dis-

trict. “Children are classifi ed as either those who earn a high school diploma, those who re-ceive an occupational diploma or GED or dropouts.”

In the past, MDE has looked at data from a fi ve-year cohort study which follows students from their freshman year un-til time of graduation. In some cases, it would take a student fi ve-years to graduate, instead of the traditional four, said Wamsley.

“Our dropout rate was 12.9 percent two cycles ago, 10.5 percent one cycle ago and 10.3

percent on our most recent cycle,” added Wamsley. “Our numbers have been moving in the right direction.”

The overall state dropout rate average from the most recent fi ve-year cohort is 17 percent.

“We are 6.7 percent lower than the state average right now, which is awesome,” said Wamsley. “But we have a chal-lenge coming this year.”

Starting with the 2014-15 school year, the MED will move to a four-year cohort when

Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith discusses dropout preven-tion.

It’s time to pay it forward and do something for those who have selfl essly devoted their time and efforts to the service and protection of their commu-nity.

With fl ames fl ickering around the county and fi res destroying family homes, it is now more important than ever to support those who battle the blazes.

“Glen Volunteer Fire Depart-ment is hosting a fund-raiser to update equipment and fund the fi re department for the year,” said Fire Chief James McA-nally. “This drive is very impor-tant, and we hope people will help out like they have in the past.”

The fund drive is held an-nually by the fi re department and has been done for at least the past 12 years. Last year, somewhere between $2,500 to $3,000 dollars was raised.

According to McAnally, resi-dents in the department’s ser-vice area on Highway 72 now have increased fi re protection, a second fi re station and more fi re fi ghting capabilities as a re-sult of new equipment.

In the next few weeks, a rep-resentative will be calling on each home and business in the area. They will be asking for support in this project and of-fering a complimentary 10”x13” family portrait.

BOONEVILLE — Dr. Dolphus Weary is coming back.

The president of the R.E.A.L. Christian Foundation, who coined the phrase “Someday I’m leaving Mississippi and I ain’t never comin’ back” during the 1960s racial problems in Mississippi, will be the keynote speaker during Northeast Mis-sissippi Community College’s recognition of Black History Month.

NEMCC’s Cultural Arts Com-mittee is offering a week-long program on racial reconcilia-tion, starting Feb. 10 and con-tinuing through Feb. 14. A vari-ety of speakers have been lined up for the “Coming Back, Mov-ing Forward: The Challenges Before Us in Race Relations” campus event.

Weary left the state in 1967, becoming one of the fi rst black students ever to attend

and gradu-ate from the all-white Los Angeles Bap-tist College.

“These pro-grams are a w o n d e r f u l opportunity for students and commu-nity mem-bers to hear notable speakers and learn some things they may not have known about the experiences of African-Americans in our state,” said Northeast Cultural Arts Committee Chairperson Lynn Burns. “Dr. Weary’s presenta-tion should be particularly inter-esting and I urge all community members who can to attend.”

Weary, one of the most de-sired speakers over the last 30 years on racial reconciliation, will speak during the free and open to the public event on Feb.

11. His lecture, about race rela-tions in Mississippi during the 1960s, will take place at 7 p.m. in the Claude Wright Room on the second fl oor of the Haney Union.

His book – “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” – is about his life ma-neuvering through the choice of staying in Mississippi in the 60s and trying to work his way through the system or moving out of the state and joining the civil rights movement and pro-testing the injustices he saw growing up.

“Dr. Weary has spoken on the Northeast campus before and we are pleased to bring him back,” said Northeast Cultural Arts Committee vice-chairper-son Michael H. Miller. “These programs are a way of allowing our students and community to have an open dialogue about past experiences in Mississip-

The American Legion is get-ting started early on a project to remember deceased veterans.

Post 6 is already taking orders for Wreaths Across America which is slated for later this year.

“It is a very heart touching experience,” said Carlean Park-er, Vice-President of the Amer-ican Legion Auxiliary, of the project which places wreaths at the graves of veterans in the Corinth National Cemetery. “Those who attend will come with a mission and leave with a memory for life.”

Last year, 612 wreaths are placed at the National Cem-etery and surrounding area cemeteries. The number was over 200 more than the previ-ous year.

“Our event was a huge suc-cess,” said Parker. “My heart has been blessed many times over by the response of the community.”

Cost is $15 per wreath with each sponsorship tax deduct-ible. The wreaths are a tradi-tional live green with a red bow. Specifi c grave orders can also be placed and are not limited to the Corinth National Cemetery.

The 2014 ceremony is sched-uled for 11 a.m. on Dec. 13 at the National Cemetery.

“We should never forget and need to teach our children the values of freedom,” added Parker. “Freedom comes with a price … it has been said when a civilian becomes a soldier they sign a blank check with the

pi.”Weary returned to Mis-

sissippi in 1971 after earn-ing several degrees. The former executive director and president of Mission Mississippi came back to work with Voice of Calva-ry/Mendenhall Ministries, a multi-faceted Christian Community Development ministry, where he served from 1971–1997.

The noted speaker re-ceived a Masters of Reli-gious Education Degree from Los Angeles Baptist Seminary. He went on to receive a Masters in Educational Administra-tion from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1978. In 1973, Dr. Weary was ordained to the ministry, and in 1997, he received a Doctor of Ministry from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson.

He has had the honor of

speaking during the Mis-sissippi Day Services at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. and the President’s Commission on White House Fellow-ships.

Dionne Bailey gets the Tuesday speaking started with a 10:50 a.m. address also in the Claude Wright Room. Bailey, from the University of Mississippi, will deliver the lecture “Black Experiences in Mississippi.”

Inspired by one of her favorite quotes, “It’s not where you have been, but it’s where you are going,” Bailey takes the stage to help inspire others about the black experience in Mississippi.

A doctoral candidate at the University of Mis-sissippi, Bailey holds a masters’ degree in history from the University of Mississippi and a liberal studies degree focusing in history, sociology and

religion from Reinhardt University.

During her time at Ole Miss, Bailey has served on the Chancellors Com-mission of the Status of Women, held the title of the Graduate Women’s Director for the Graduate Student Council, served two consecutive terms as the president of the Black Graduate Professional Student Association, and served as a graduate stu-dent representative in the History department.

“We encourage not just the Northeast faculty, staff and students but the surrounding communi-ties as well to come and have an open dialogue about experiences in Mis-sissippi,” said Miller. “Our hope is to build upon the success of these programs to offer a variety of oppor-tunities for the Northeast faculty, staff and students and surrounding areas in the future.”

Northeast continues the talk about race rela-tions in Mississippi on Feb. 13 at 10:50 a.m. as a multi-person panel takes the stage in the Claude Wright Room.

Northeast’s panel dis-cussion will see Joe Wal-lace, Norma Lambert, Sammie Agnew, Juanita

Floyd and Arzell Wilson take questions and talk about their experiences in Mississippi.

Dr. Jennifer Stollman from the William Winter Center for Racial Recon-ciliation helps the com-mittee wrap up the week with a roundtable discus-sion of events and topics at 1:45 p.m. on Feb. 13.

Stollman serves as the academic director for the William Winter Institute on Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mis-sissippi and holds a Ph.D. from Michigan State Uni-versity in early Ameri-can history, comparative women’s history, Native American history and Af-rican-American history in addition to completing a cognate from the Univer-sity of Michigan in femi-nist cultural theory.

“We could not have these programs with-out the support of our administration and we would like thank them and all the members of the committee for all the hard work they have put forth in lining up speak-ers for these events and all the behind-the-scenes logistics they have done to make this a successful learning opportunity,” said Miller.

compiling data on stu-dent dropout.

“We are going to lose those kids who take a little longer to graduate due to not having enough credits or falling behind because of sickness,” said Director of Secondary Curriculum Lisa Wigginton. “Every year we have about 20 or 30 students district wide who roll over into their fi fth year of high school.”

The Alcorn Alternative Education Center is a last resort for a possible fu-ture dropouts. Students who have had discipline problems or are failing academically are often sent to alternative school.

“We are here for those higher at-risk students,” said Wamsley, who has served as a teacher at the alternative school for more than 10 years. “By the time students get to us, they have had all the traditional teaching ways tried on them.”

Alternative school edu-cators focus on getting their students involved in community mined proj-

ects.“During the last Grand

Illumination, our kids put together over 2,000 lumi-naries,” added Wamsley. “Different projects we do like this teaches troubled kids teamwork and social skills in a real life settings. Traditional subjects like Math and English are also added in.”

At alternative school, relationship building is very important in dropout prevention.

“For kids to feel like they matter, they have to look outside of them-selves,” added Wamsley. “They have to understand their community.”

At Kossuth High School, counselor Kim Lyles said scheduling plays a pivotal role.

“The new block sched-uling has helped us with early graduation options,” said Lyles. “This has aid-ed in meeting graduation requirements a lot faster and getting kids gradu-ated.”

Alcorn Central High School counselor Julie Pittman uses a master Ex-cel spreadsheet to make

sure students are not fall-ing behind on grades or days missed.

“Tracking every stu-dent from freshman year through senior year is something I started doing last year and it has helped me out tremendously in pinpointing dropouts be-fore they happen,” she said.

Jennifer Koon agreed with Wamsley.

“Relationship build-ing is the key to this en-tire meeting,” said Koon, counselor at Alcorn Career and Technology Center. “Teachers, if you see a stu-dent in the hallway who you heard might be having a hard time at home, reach out and talk to them ... those little things will help this entire cause.”

Smith ended the meet-ing by thanking everyone in the school district for a combined effort.

“I’m so thankful every-one works together,” she said. “We don’t just have jobs, we are invested in what we do. Everyone in this district truly cares about our kids and it shows.”

amount to be paid up to the sacrifi ce of their very lives.”

In 2013, members of American Legion Post 6, Ladies Auxiliary, Sons of American Legion and Le-gion Riders all put special focus on the graves of un-known soldiers.

“Although we didn’t know who they were, they are still someone’s loved one,” said Parker. “They deserve our honor and respect … our mission is

to remember, honor and teach about the services and sacrifi ces of our veterans, active military and their families.”

Orders can be placed by contacting Parker at 662-462-3443 or [email protected].

Sponsorships are also available by seeing Lisa Lambert at McPeter’s Funeral Home.

“Our goal is to one day lay a wreath at the over 7,600 graves at the Na-tional Cemetery,” said Parker.

The portraits will be made by Professional Por-trait Services at the new fi re station on Highway 72. Photo session times will be announced after all the homes and businesses have been visited.

Those going door-to-door will carry proper identifi cation and a letter from the fi re department.

Glen V.F.D, currently serves with 20 fi refi ght-ers and three trucks. They answer all emer-gencies in the coverage area and respond to ap-

proximately 100 to 150 calls per year.

“Things have gotten a little better,” said McA-nally, “Calls have thank-fully, been way down.”

He wanted to remind residents to dial 911 for all their emergency needs.

NASHVILLE — The Ten-nessee Administrative Offi ce of the Courts says the state is scheduled to execute 10 death row in-mates between this April and November 2015.

The Tennessean says three executions are scheduled this year, with

seven in 2015.Gov. Bill Haslam told

the newspaper’s editorial board Wednesday that he agrees with the decision to seek the executions although they didn’t go through him. The state sought the execution dates after changing the proto-col for lethal injections.

Kelley Henry of the Federal Public Defender’s offi ce in Nashville said it’s unfortunate so many death row inmates were being grouped together. Henry and other attor-neys have asked a judge to halt the executions over questions about the drug the state now plans to use.

Museum requests refund donations

IUKA – The Tishom-ingo County Historical & Genealogical Society is urging history fans to make a historic impact by donating their tax re-fund to the Society.

The Society also offers a tax-free gift through memorial do-nations to honor the memory of a loved one or friend.

A memorial can be a one-time gift from a fam-ily or friend, or a memo-rial fund may be started as a way for others to donate in remembrance of a loved one.

TUPELO — The Spring Tupelo Furniture Market, one of the largest furni-ture trade shows in the United States, will open building number one of its six buildings to the public today and will pack it with furniture, home accessories, appliances, as well as jewelry, cloth-ing and other fashion-re-lated items that the public and many of the furniture retailers attending want to see.

Once again, the com-panies that will fi ll the 185,000 sq. ft. of space in building I will be of-fering incredible pric-ing on their products. In addition, entertain-ment, prizes, parties and a fashion show, as well as the chance to grab “show dollars” to spend at the event will add ex-citement to the shopping experience.

The trade show con-tinues Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The show times are: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, 8 to 6 Saturday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

“This ‘event within our event’ has provided the perfect vehicle for fur-niture industry retailers that are searching for smaller companies of-fering unique furniture, home accessories, and other items that might round out their inven-tory,” said Kevin J. Sed-don, president of the market. “Many of these small companies, which often sell hand-crafted furniture and accesso-ries in smaller amounts, want to sell to both the trade and the public. It’s worked perfectly for all our attendees and for our exhibiting companies.”

Seddon went on to ex-plain that building I has in many ways become an incubator for many smaller exhibitors in that when showing in Tupelo, they are able to effectively make the transition from selling direct to consum-ers only, to selling to re-tail establishments. Ac-cording to Seddon, many of the small companies that have shown their products in building I in the past are now selling to

retailers exclusively and have moved to the mar-ket’s “trade only” build-ings.

“We have had great suc-cess with our fi rst three it-erations of this event and it has grown beyond our expectations,” said Me-lissa Kelly, coordinator of the Furniture & Home Accessories Show. “The open fl oor space as well as every showroom will be fi lled completely for this spring’s show. We will be raffl ing prizes including a fur coat, jewelry, a $500 shopping spree and every day for one to two hours, many of those attending the event will be given a chance to ‘grab Show Dol-lars’ in our money booth.”

Kelly went on to ex-plain that on Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Skyler Lane, a past com-petitor on American Idol and a local Mississip-pian, will be on hand to entertain the crowd, sign autographs and speak to the crowd. The following Friday evening, the 2nd iteration of the “Sparkles and Spirits” party will be begin at 4 p.m. Those par-

ticipating will enjoy hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine as well as “door prizes” that will begin away dur-ing the event. Wishbone, a local acoustic band will be on hand for entertain-ment.

On Saturday, the fi rst annual TFM Fashion Show which begins at 2 p.m. Woman’s clothing, jewelry and accessories will be on display, as well as children’s clothing and accessories.

The Furniture and Home Accessories Show will house a wide-range of home furniture, appli-ances, specialty items and accessories at below retail and discounted prices.

“This event has allowed many smaller manufac-turers and importers to participate in the furni-ture market,” said Debbie Henry, director of sales for the Tupelo Furniture Market. “They sell to the public to off-set their costs, while attracting long-term relationships with furniture retailers. Many of them have had great success and we feel as if we have helped fos-

ter their growth as a busi-ness.”

“This, the 4th version of the Furniture & Home Accessories Show, will have more furniture than ever before, but will also have a lot accessories and fashion items” said Katie Kimbrell, the company’s buyer recruitment direc-tor. “Companies that will showcase fashion items include Bluebird Bou-tique, Southern Chics, 1409 Posh Boutique, touch of class and many, many more.”

Kimbrell went on to list many more items that will be available to the public, business owners and re-tailers that choose to shop in building I, including all types of furniture – even outdoor furniture, home accessories, rugs, frames and framed art, light-ing, mattresses, pottery, appliances, electronics, clothing, jewelry, purses, artwork, yard art, light-ing and lighting fi xtures. Some of the major brands include Hampton Bay, Thomasville, Samsung, Frigidaire, Hotpoint and LG.

Letter to the editor

I suppose I’ll make some people angry about my opinion about legalizing marijuana.

What in the name of humanity are these people thinking?

Several states have already made it legal to buy pot -- just like buying a candy bar. Their lame excuse is it helps people with cancer and pain. New statistics show people that have never smoked a joint are suddenly becoming ill so they can have an excuse to use it.

Any idiot knows it makes a person high just like beer, wine, whiskey and any kind of alcohol. Someone with a high is not in con-trol of themselves when driving or anything else. What will the law do when someone on a legal marijuana high has a wreck and kills someone? Slap them on the hand and say, “That’s not nice. Don’t do that again.”

Alcohol should never have been legalized anywhere, especially in Alcorn County. A few tax dollars are worth more than a human life, right?

A few years back, I might not have said anything , but I am not the man I used to be. I never smoked pot or used illegal drugs and drank very little. I’m not bragging or boasting about it.

I realized how important it is to be the best you can be, be kind to one another and above all: Get your heart right and don’t do any-thing Jesus wouldn’t do.

A verse to share

Henry Waxman and George Miller are retiring from the House and not running for re-election after 40 years as congressmen from southern and north-ern California.

Also retiring is Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa. Sen. Max Baucus of Montana will re-sign if, as expected, he is confi rmed as ambassador to China. Both were fi rst elected to the House in 1974 and were later elected to the Senate.

These four are just about the last serving members of the 75 Democrats fi rst elected to the House in the Watergate year of 1974.

The only other members of the Class of 1974 are Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley and Congressman Rick Nolan, who retired from the House in 1980 but was elected again in 2012.

Aside from these two out-liers, the Class of 1974 is about to pass into history. What did it accomplish?

First, it changed the way the House of Representa-tives operates, starting from before its members took the oath of offi ce and continu-ing to the present day.

Democrats had held ma-jorities in the House for 20 years, but the liberal major-ity in the caucus was often stymied by the seniority system that allowed conser-vative Southerners to hold

key chair-manships.

Beginning in 1974, the leadership a l l o w e d the Demo-cratic cau-cus to vote up or down on chair-men against

whom a certain number of signatures were gathered.

San Francisco’s Phil Bur-ton, who had shrewdly backed many ‘74ers, gath-ered a suffi cient number of signatures for every chair-man. Three were defeated by the newly enlarged cau-cus, including one, fi rst elected in 1940, who ad-dressed the freshmen as “boys and girls.”

Election of committee chairmen became routine, and it meant that anyone seeking a chair had better have a voting record in line with the Democrats’ liberal majority. For example, Ja-mie Whitten of Mississippi, fi rst elected a month before Pearl Harbor, shifted sud-denly from Right to Left.

Republicans did some-thing similar when they won their House majority in 1994. Their 73 freshmen, shrewdly backed and men-tored by Newt Gingrich, supported his move to have chairmen chosen by a lead-ership-dominated steering

committee.The result is that the

Democratic Caucus became solidly liberal, and the Re-publican Conference solidly conservative.

The change can be justi-fi ed on neutral principles. Committees more closely resemble the legislature as a whole, which makes legis-lating more feasible — and party leaders and members accountable to the voters.

The downside, in some critics’ view, is that the elec-tion of chairmen also gave would-be chairmen motives to raise money for other members, very often from K Street lobbyists.

Many Class of 1974 mem-bers proved to be produc-tive legislators. Waxman, who ousted a more senior chairman of a health sub-committee in 1978, spon-sored bipartisan laws on generic drugs and orphan drugs (for rare diseases), forced expansion of Med-icaid in the Reagan years, shaped the 1990 Clean Air Act and pushed Obamacare and cap-and-trade through the House in 2009-10.

Miller worked with John Boehner and Edward Ken-nedy on the Education Act of 2001. Harkin helped lead the bipartisan move to dou-ble funding for the National Institutes of Health over fi ve years. Baucus led Sen-ate Finance Democrats for

13 years.The Class of 1974 also

shifted the House and the congressional Democratic Party from hawkish to dov-ish. One of its fi rst acts in March 1975 was to block funding for South Vietnam when it was under attack by the North.

In the 1980s, the Demo-cratic House kept pushing back on the Reagan foreign policy. In 2002, Nancy Pe-losi led most House Demo-crats to oppose the Iraq war resolution.

Pelosi says she is staying on, even as her ally Wax-man and her consigliere, Miller, leave the House. The 201-member caucus she leads has more black and Hispanic members and few-er young doves and reform-ers than the 291-member caucus Waxman and Miller entered nearly 40 years ago.

Still, the Class of 1974 has left a mark on history — though not as much as one Democrat who narrowly lost a House race that year, a 28-year-old Arkansan named Bill Clinton.

Democratic Class of 1974 leaves the scene

At a time when Republi-cans have Democrats play-ing defense on Obamacare, jobs and the economy, the GOP is inexplicably ced-ing political ground to the Democrats on an issue that can only provide more votes for that party and possibly lead to a permanent Demo-cratic majority.

Meeting in Cambridge, Md., last weekend for what they called -- with no little irony -- a “retreat,” Repub-lican leaders signaled they are open to considering some sort of legal status for the estimated 11 million il-legal immigrants who have overstayed their visas or violated American law to get here.

But exactly who are the il-legals? According to a study conducted by the Urban Institute, “Mexicans make up over half of illegal immi-grants -- 57 percent of the total, or about 5.3 million. Another 2.2 million (23 per-cent) are from other Latin American countries. About 10 percent are from Asia, 5 percent from Europe and Canada, and 5 percent from

the rest of the world.”

R e p u b l i -cans have c o n v i n c e d themselves that Hispan-ics are a “nat-ural” con-stituency for their party because they

are hard workers, religious and family-oriented. Statis-tics from the Pew Research Center suggest the opposite may be true.

According to Pew, 53 percent of babies born to Hispanic immigrants are to single mothers, about twice the rate of whites. As for Republican “family val-ues,” Pew found a majority of Hispanics, 53 percent, support same-sex marriage. As a great many illegals are poor, their strain on the welfare, health care and education systems is con-siderable.

In a recent column, Phyl-lis Schlafl y, a conservative political analyst, cited an American National Election Study that asked Hispan-

ics their views about the free market vs. big govern-ment solutions to problems. Schlafl y noted, “Only 17.9 percent of Hispanics re-sponded ‘the less govern-ment the better,’ and 85.3 percent said ‘a strong gov-ernment involvement is re-quired to handle economic problems.’”

This is not the profi le of a future Republican voter.

The Center for Immigra-tion Studies (CIS) says il-legals now make up 3.5 percent of the U.S. popula-tion, or about 10.5 million people. According to CIS, “Nationally, illegal immi-grants and their U.S.-born children account for 9.9 percent of all persons in poverty, compared to their 4.9 percent share of (the) nation’s total population.”

With lower incomes, il-legals rely more on wel-fare programs. CIS says in Texas, “58 percent of illegal households collect some sort of welfare,” with “49 percent using food assis-tance and 41 percent using Medicaid.” In California and Illinois, reports CIS,

“55 percent use welfare.”This country needs com-

prehensive immigration reform, whether that means maintaining a secure bor-der or outlining a standard of economic sustainability for immigrants. Taxpayers cannot continue to bear the economic burden of illegal immigration. The Obama administration has prom-ised immigration reform; the Republican Party has promised it, but partisan-ship and politics keep both sides miles apart.

If Republicans fail to come up with a work-able immigration plan, they will simultaneously help Democrats who rely on the Hispanic vote and lose Republican votes. As Texas Republican Sena-tor Ted Cruz told Breitbart News, they could also fail to achieve their major goal for 2014: winning a Senate majority.

House endorsesteacher pay raise

JACKSON — Mississip-pi House members are backing efforts to raise teacher pay by about $4,250 over four years.

Representatives voted 86-26 Wednesday to pass House Bill 504. It goes to the Senate for more work.

Teachers would get a $1,500 raise over the next two years, and a projected raise of $2,750 over the follow-ing two years, assuming state revenues continue growing.

Teachers in their first five years would get rais-es automatically. Those with more than five years’ experience would have to meet three of 22 criteria, ranging from certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to sponsoring a school club.

State set to take over Scott schools

JACKSON — State of-ficials will consider tak-ing control of the Scott County school system Thursday.

The Commission on School Accreditation will consider a takeover at its meeting, and the state Board of Education has scheduled a special meet-ing to affirm the action.

Gov. Phil Bryant must approve an emergency declaration before of-ficials can appoint a con-servator, deposing the current superintendent and school board.

Takeovers typically follow state findings of violations, and an audit re-leased in November found

the system was violating 20 of 27 state standards. The 4,200-student district is rated “B’’ under the state’s grading system, but has seen conflict be-tween the school board and elected superinten-dent.

Senate sets driver fine for texting

JACKSON, Miss. — The Mississippi Senate has voted to make tex-ting and driving a crime — but not much of one.

Senate Bill 2434 says anyone caught send-ing a text message or checking a social media site while driving can be charged with careless driving.

Conviction would carry a fine of anywhere from $5 to $50.

Sunday alcohol sales hearing draws silence

OXFORD — The Oxford Board of Aldermen is expected to vote Feb. 18 on an ordinance allowing restaurants to sell liquor

on Sundays.The Northeast Missis-

sippi Daily Journal re-ports that no one spoke for or against the pro-posal during a Tuesday hearing.

The city is proposing to allow restaurants to sell liquor, wine, light wine and beer by the drink on Sundays.

If a new ordinance passes, the wine and liquor element of the ordinance would require approval of the Missis-sippi Alcoholic Beverage Control.

It would not affect retail liquor and wine sales, which are limited to state-licensed pack-age stores. State law limits when those stores can operate.

After decades of a near-total ban on Sunday alcohol, the city in 2011 legalized Sunday sales by the drink on University of Mississippi home football weekends, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, along with Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve when they occur on Sunday.

Officials reject immigration action

WASHINGTON — Con-servative Republicans on Wednesday ruled out any immigration legislation in the House this year, insisting that the GOP should wait until next year when the party might also control the Senate.

House GOP leaders unveiled their broad im-migration principles last week that gave hope to advocates and the Obama administration that the first changes in the nation’s laws in three decades might happen in the coming months.

Immigration legisla-tion is one of the top priorities for Obama’s second term.

But several of the conservatives were ada-mant that the House should do nothing on the issue this year, a midterm election year when the GOP is angling to gain six seats in the Senate and seize major-ity control. Democrats currently have a 55-45 advantage but are de-fending more seats, in-cluding ones in Republi-can-leaning states.

Robotic hand gains sense of touch

WASHINGTON — To feel what you touch — that’s the holy grail for artificial limbs. In a step toward that goal, European researchers created a robotic hand that let an amputee feel differences between a bottle, a baseball and a mandarin orange.

The patient only got to experiment with the

bulky prototype for a week, and it’s far from the bionics of science fiction movies. But the research released Wednesday is part of a major effort to create more lifelike, and us-able, prosthetics.

“It was just amaz-ing,” said Dennis Aabo Sorensen of Aalborg, Denmark, who lost his left hand in a fireworks accident a decade ago and volunteered to pilot-test the new prosthetic. “It was the closest I have had to feeling like a normal hand.”

This isn’t the first time scientists have tried to give some sense of touch to artifi-cial hands; a few other pilot projects have been reported in the U.S. and Europe. But this newest experiment, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, shows Sorensen not only could tell differ-ences in the shape and hardness of objects, he also could quickly react and adjust his grasp.

Old fugitive files lead to escapee

SAN DIEGO — A Mich-igan officer’s decision to look through old files on fugitives led investi-gators to a woman who escaped from a Michi-gan prison 37 years ago and was living in San Diego, authorities said Wednesday.

Judy Lynn Hayman, 60, will be returned to Michigan to complete her sentence for at-tempted larceny.

“We can’t just write it off,” said Russ Mar-lan, spokesman for the Michigan Corrections

Department. “We don’t have the ability to say, ‘It’s been a long time. You’re free to go.’”

GOP conclusions miss whole story

WASHINGTON — New estimates that President Barack Obama’s health care law will encourage millions of Americans to leave the workforce or reduce their work hours have touched off an I-told-you-so chorus from Republicans, who’ve claimed all along that the law will kill jobs. But some aren’t telling it straight.

The analysis by the nonpartisan Congres-sional Budget Office predicts the law will give several million people an opportunity to work less or not at all, because they won’t be stuck in jobs just for the sake of keeping the health insurance they get from employers. To some Republicans, that amounts to “wreaking havoc on working fami-lies,” ‘‘dire consequenc-es for workers” and a shower of pink slips across the land — con-clusions unsupported by the report.

The study estimates that the workforce will be reduced by the equivalent of 2.3 mil-lion full-time workers by 2021 as people choose to leave it. More would take early retirement, work fewer hours or oth-erwise rearrange their work-home balance to take advantage of new subsidies for health insurance and new mar-kets for individual poli-cies that don’t depend on having a job.

Rare ‘frost quakes’ blamed for noises

ST. LOUIS — Chuck Herron heard the loud thud, then another and another. It sounded like someone was dropping big snowballs on the roof of his home.

The house is more than 100 years old and creaks, Herron said, but he had “never heard anything like that be-fore.”

As his neighbors in tiny Paris, Mo., huddled around televisions Sun-day for the Super Bowl, many were startled by similar strange noises. Some even saw flashes of light and called 911.

Scientists say the community experienced a rare natural phenom-enon known as a “frost quake,” which happens when moisture in the ground suddenly freezes and expands. If condi-tions are just right, the soil or bedrock breaks like a brittle frozen pipe, generating mysterious noises that range from an earthquake-like rumble to sharp cracking sounds sometimes mis-taken for falling trees.

CVS Caremarkends tobacco sales

CVS Caremark’s deci-sion to pull cigarettes and other tobacco products from its stores could ripple beyond the nation’s second-largest drugstore chain.

The move, which drew praise from President

Barack Obama, doc-tors and anti-smoking groups when it was an-nounced on Wednesday, puts pressure on other retailers to stop sell-ing tobacco from their shelves as well. But first they have to over-come their addiction to a product that attracts customers.

“They don’t make much money on to-bacco, but it does draw people into the store,” said Craig R. Johnson, president of the retail consultancy Customer Growth Partners.

CVS Caremark Corp. said it will phase out tobacco by Oct. 1 in its 7,600 stores nationwide as it shifts toward being more of a health care provider. CVS, like other drugstore chains, have been adding in-store clinics and expanding their health care offer-ings. They’ve also been expanding the focus of some clinics to include helping people manage chronic illnesses like high blood pressure and diabetes.

CVS CEO Larry Merlo said the company con-cluded it could no longer sell cigarettes in a set-ting where health care also is being delivered. In fact, as CVS has been working to team up with hospital groups and doctor practices to help deliver and moni-tor patient care, CVS Chief Medical Officer Dr. Troyen A. Brennan said the presence of tobacco in its stores has made for some awkward con-

versations.

Hoffman’s autopsy proves inconclusive

NEW YORK— Four people were taken into custody on drug charges after police investigating Philip Seymour Hoff-man’s death executed search warrants, two people with knowledge of the investigation said Wednesday, and the medical examiner’s of-fice said more tests are needed to determine what killed him.

There was no time-table for Hoffman’s autopsy to be finished, said medical examiner’s office spokeswoman Ju-lie Bolcer, who declined to discuss the pending tests. Toxicology and tissue tests are typically done in such cases.

Police believe the Oscar-winning actor may have died from a drug overdose, though his death is being inves-tigated as suspicious pending a more defini-tive ruling by the medical examiner.

Hoffman was found dead Sunday with a nee-dle in his arm, and tests found heroin — but no traces of the potent syn-thetic morphine additive fentanyl, which is added to intensify the high and has been linked to 22 suspected overdose deaths in western Penn-sylvania — in samples from at least 50 pack-ets in his apartment in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, law enforcement officials have said.

Fatal hit-and-run leads to arrest

ITTA BENA— An Itta Bena man has been arrested on charges in what authorities say was a fatal hit-and-run ac-cident.

Itta Bena Acting Police Chief Ted Washington says 31-year-old Alexias Banks was struck and killed Friday night while walking across a street. The driver of the vehicle that hit her left the scene.

Banks was pro-nounced dead at the scene.

Washington tells the Greenwood Common-wealth that 20-year-old Jermaine Williams is charged with culpable negligent manslaughter leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death.

If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years on both counts.

Pearl River Countyprosecutor indicted

JACKSON— The pros-ecuting attorney for Pearl River County has been indicted.

State Auditor Stacey Pickering said Wednes-day that 50-year-old Aaron Russell has been indicted on one count each of altering public records and commit-ting fraud by a public official.

Special agents of the Auditor’s Office and Pearl River County Sher-iff deputies arrested

Russell at his home earlier Wednesday and he was transported to the Pearl River County jail and booked. Bond in-formation was not imme-diately available. It was unclear whether he’s represented by counsel.

Pickering, in a state-ment, said Russell is accused of setting up and executing an unau-thorized pretrial diver-sion program in which he accepted money from defendants in return for their charges being dropped.

Activist: Strengthenvoting, education

JACKSON — Longtime civil rights activist Bob Moses says the United States needs a firmer commitment to voting rights and education.

He’s challenging young people to commit to those issues today to affect the society they’ll lead in a generation.

Moses was among the participants Wednes-day in a youth summit hosted by the Smithson-ian’s National Museum of American History.

More than 400 stu-dents at a dozen muse-ums in the U.S. watched the hour-long webcast in which Moses and others discussed Free-dom Summer, the 1964 project that challenged segregation by pushing to register black Missis-sippi voters.

Larry Rubin, a Penn-sylvania native, did civil-rights work in Missis-sippi in 1964 and 1965. He says the Deep South at the time was “over-coming 300 years of ter-ror, of brainwashing, of oppression.”

Guilty plea averts murder, firearm trial

GREENVILLE — A Greenville man has pleaded guilty to murder and firearm charges.

The Delta Democrat Times reports that Corderro Cooper was scheduled for trial Mon-day when he pleaded guilty to the 2012 fatal shooting of Christopher Powell.

District Attorney De-wayne Richardson says Powell was shot as he tried to intervene in a domestic violence inci-dent involving Cooper and a Powell family member.

A grand jury in 2013 indicted Cooper on charges of murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Woman pleads guilty to mail theft

GULFPORT — A for-mer postal worker has pleaded guilty to steal-ing mail while working in D’Iberville and Ocean Springs.

Juanita C. Rauch en-tered the plea this past week in U.S. District Court in Gulfport.

The Sun Herald re-ports Rauch will be sen-tenced April 30.

A grand jury indicted her in October on two counts of mail theft.

She was accused of stealing a Target gift card from the mail while working for the U.S. Postal Service in D’Iberville. She also was accused of stealing a Walmart gift card and cash while working in Ocean Springs.

She pleaded guilty to one count. Rauch re-mains free on an unse-cured $25,000 bond.

She faces maximum penalties of five years in prison and three years’ probation.

Hernando raises sewer, water fees

HERNANDO — Seek-ing to break a cycle of losing $764,000 yearly on sewer, water and sanitation services, Her-nando aldermen have approved rate increases that will go into effect in about six weeks.

The Commercial Ap-peal reports the board approved raising the residential garbage rate on Tuesday from $11.50 to $13.50 and increas-ing the second garbage bin charge to $4. The voluntary recycling fee increases from $3 to $3.94 to match actual contractor costs.

Winter-weary residents of the Northeast con-tended with another dose of snow, sleet and freez-ing rain Wednesday. The second winter storm of the week canceled class-es, closed government and business offi ces, and caused more than 1 mil-lion power outages across the region after wreak-ing similar havoc in the Midwest on Tuesday. The snow was expected to reach a foot or more in some places Wednesday. Combined with freezing rain and sleet, it made driving treacherous. The storm was the second go-round for the Northeast since a good coating of snow fell Monday.

Pennsylvania

Icy conditions knocked out power to about 750,000 customers in eastern and central Pennsylvania and caused school and legislative delays as well as speed reductions on major roadways. Falling trees became a hazard for mo-torists.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike canceled a tem-porary speed limit of 45 mph and its ban on emp-ty tractor-trailers. The Pennsylvania Depart-ment of Transportation also dropped speed limits to 45 mph on a number of roads.

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transpor-tation Administration re-

ported delays and some cancellations on subur-ban Philadelphia routes, while Amtrak suspended its Philadelphia-to-Har-risburg service because of downed trees on wires and along tracks.

New York

New York state de-ployed more than 2,000 plows and other pieces of heavy equipment to keep roads clear during a storm that has forced the closure of one major highway and hundreds of schools upstate. Up to a foot of snow fell in some upstate areas, while lesser amounts and a coating of ice were expected in New York City.

A 65-mile stretch of Interstate 84 between the Pennsylvania and Connecticut borders was closed to all vehicles.

New Jersey

Gov. Chris Christie de-clared a state of emergen-cy and state offi ces were closed for non-essential employees, as the state got snow in northern parts, sleet and freezing rain in some areas, and all rain in southern coun-ties. Tens of thousands of customers were without power, and schools were closed or delayed.

Michigan

AAA Michigan got at least 1,100 calls for ser-vice as of Wednesday

morning, with the heavi-est volume during the rush-hour commute.

The storm also snarled traffi c in southern Michi-gan, including the Detroit area, with accidents re-ported in Grand Rapids and Saginaw.

Two planes became stuck on taxiways at snowy Detroit Metro-politan Airport, requiring trucks to push or pull the Delta jets out of the snow.

Illinois

A Chicago runner was credited with helping save a man who fell into icy Lake Michigan with his dog.

Adam Dominik says he found twine and an-chored it around himself while throwing the other end in the water, pull-ing the man onto nearby rocks. Meanwhile, a skier called 911.

The man was taken to a hospital to be treated for severe hypothermia. He and his dog are expected to recover.

Ohio

Most of Ohio was hit with another bout or heavy snow and freezing rain, closing hundreds schools and creating ex-tremely hazardous driv-ing conditions.

Much of the state was slammed with 4 to 8 inches of snow overnight. Many counties declared snow emergencies.

“I wish that groundhog

would have stayed in its hole,” said Geoff Dunn, who took the bus to his downtown Columbus of-fi ce, avoiding the messy roads but still having to navigate snowy side-walks.

“Finding us six more weeks of winter was not the smart move.”

The National Weather Service said most Ohio cities already have seen anywhere from 15 to 30 inches more snow than is normal at this stage of winter.

Rhode Island

Nearly all schools in Rhode Island were closed.

State Police responded to 16 accidents before 8:45 a.m., after which road conditions appeared to be improving, with snow turning to sleet and rain in some areas. The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority warned of delays.

Connecticut

Connecticut’s governor and legislative leaders agreed to delay the start of the General Assem-bly’s annual session from Wednesday to Thursday because of snow.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy also ordered a delayed opening for state offi ces on Wednesday. Many schools were closed.

Metro-North canceled and combined some trains on the New Haven Line.

KansasGov. Sam Brownback

ordered state offi ces in the Topeka area closed for a second consecutive day because of a winter storm.

The Legislature also canceled all of its meet-ings Wednesday.

Authorities blamed slick conditions for a two-car crash in south-east Kansas that killed two people, and said a third traffi c fatality also appeared to be weather-related.

The Kansas National Guard established nine teams that were prepared to assist motorists who were stranded or to trans-port medical and emer-gency personnel.

Kentucky

Freezing rain and ice that moved through Ken-tucky overnight left thou-sands of people without power.

According to the Pub-lic Service Commission, most of the outages were reported in Jefferson County, which had about 10,000 customers with-out power early Wednes-day.

Massachusetts

The snowstorm hit western portions of the state in the pre-dawn hours, leading Boston, Worcester and Spring-fi eld, among other cities, to close schools and ban street parking to prepare for snow removal.

Gov. Deval Patrick told all non-essential state employees working in the executive branch to stay home.

Missouri

A Southwest Airlines jet arriving from Denver got stuck in a snow bank Tuesday evening at Kan-sas City International Airport. A Southwest spokesman said all 55 passengers on Flight 305, a Boeing 737, were placed on buses and taken to the terminal.

Wisconsin

Severe winter condi-tions caused offi cials to ask thousands of hom-eowners in far northern Wisconsin to leave their faucets running 24 hours a day to prevent water pipes and sewer lines from freezing.

Fatalities

In Kansas, two traf-fi c deaths Tuesday south of Pittsburg in Crawford County were blamed on the weather; a third, near Hesston, was believed weather related.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — An audio recording from the control tower at Bir-mingham’s airport shows workers were trying to reopen the main runway when a UPS cargo jet crashed while trying to land on an alternate run-way, killing two pilots.

The recording, posted on the Federal Aviation Administration’s website, shows an air traffi c con-troller asked a Birming-ham Airport Authority worker about reopening the runway less than two minutes before the Airbus A300-600 jet went down shortly before dawn Aug. 14.

The main 12,000-foot runway was closed for maintenance at the time and the UPS aircraft crashed while attempt-ing to land on a shorter 7,000-foot runway at Bir-mingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport that lacks the most advanced guidance equipment. The jet clipped trees and slammed into a hill less than a mile from the end of the runway.

The recording shows a cargo jet from UPS com-petitor FedEx landed safely on the main run-way just a few minutes after the crash.

The recording will be part of the evidence as the National Transportation Safety Board conducts a hearing set for Feb. 20 in Washington to determine the cause of the crash.

The main runway, which had a more com-plete guidance system, was closed for mainte-nance on its lights during the crash, which occurred about 15 minutes before the main runway was supposed to reopen.

Pilots consider the ap-proach to the shorter runway to be more tricky because of the lack of full instrumentation and a large hill at the end of the runway, but the NTSB has not indicated whether the runway’s confi guration might have been a factor.

On the audio recording, UPS First Offi cer Shanda Fanning is heard talking with an air traffi c control-ler in the Birmingham tower about the aircraft’s

approach. The control-ler tells her the primary runway is still closed and asks if they want to land on Runway 18.

“Yes sir, the localizer 18 will work,” Fanning says.

About 45 seconds after he clears the UPS fl ight to land, the controller is heard asking an airport worker about getting the main runway back in op-eration.

“Airport 12 are, uh, we, uh, on schedule to open back up at (5 a.m.)?” he asks.

“Affi rm, they’re very close to the end right now,” answers the air-port worker, apparently speaking from a vehicle near the runway.

Less than two minutes later, the airport worker calls back to the tower: “Tower, Airport 12. Did you see that?”

The tower responds: “Airport 12, there’s a crash. UPS 1354 heavy crashed, uh, on the hill.”

The pilot of a FedEx cargo jet that also was approaching the airport radioed in that he had reduced his speed. That aircraft landed safely on the main runway just mo-ments after it reopened.

The UPS wreckage was in fl ames by then, light-ing up the sky on a drizzly morning. As airport vehi-cles rushed away from the central part of the fi eld to the site, one worker strug-gled to understand what had happened.

“Are we clear to go to our standby positions?” asked a worker from the fi re unit at the Alabama Air National Guard in-stallation.

“The aircraft is not coming to the airport,” the controller answered.

“So it’s already crashed?” asked the Guard worker.

“Affi rmative,” said the controller.

Investigators from the NTSB have said they did not fi nd any mechanical problems with the A300-600, manufactured by Airbus. The NTSB has said the hearing later this month will review land-ing procedures, training, adherence to standard operating procedures and profi ciency.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Angry over revelations of National Security Agency surveillance and frus-trated with what they consider outdated digital privacy laws, state law-makers around the na-tion are proposing bills to curtail the powers of law enforcement to monitor and track citizens.

Their efforts in at least 14 states are a direct message to the federal government: If you don’t take action to strengthen privacy, we will.

“We need to stand up and protect our liberty,” said Republican Missouri state Sen. Rob Schaaf, author of a digital privacy bill.

Police groups, howev-er, say the moves will in some cases hinder efforts to deter or solve crimes. “It would cripple law en-forcement’s ability to do investigations,” said Bart Johnson, executive direc-tor of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.

Proponents say the measures will overhaul the defi nition of digital privacy and help increase oversight of specifi c sur-veillance tools that law enforcement agencies have been using in the

states that critics say mir-rors federal surveillance technology.

The bills include a Colorado proposal that would limit the retention of images from license plate readers, an Oregon bill that would require “urgent circumstances” to obtain cellphone loca-tion data and a Delaware plan that increases pri-vacy protections for text messages.

Republican and Demo-cratic lawmakers have joined in proposing the measures, refl ecting the unusual mix of political partnerships that have arisen since the NSA revelations that began in May. Establishment leadership has generally favored the programs, while conservative lim-ited government advo-cates and liberal privacy supporters have opposed them.

Supporters say the measures are needed because technology has grown to the point that police can digitally track someone’s every move.

Devices such as license plate readers and cell-phone trackers “can tell whether you stayed in a motel that specializes in hourly rates, or you stopped at tavern that

has nude dancers,” said David Fidanque, director of the American Civil Lib-erties Union of Oregon.

“It’s one thing to know you haven’t violated the law, but it’s another thing to know you haven’t had every one of your moves tracked,” he said.

As for digital privacy, bills promoting broad-er protections against email surveillance have popped up recently in various states with vary-ing results. One propos-al became law in Texas last year, but a similar measure was vetoed in California where the governor said it was too onerous for police to fol-low.

But proposals focused specifi cally on police sur-veillance are a new vari-ety.

Schaaf’s proposal for a legislatively mandated ballot measure in Mis-souri would add elec-tronic data to a list of property protected from unreasonable search and seizure. If it passes, it would go before voters in November.

“The people in Mis-souri, if they get the chance to approve it, will send a message that other states can, and must, do the same thing,” Schaaf

said. “We can’t wait on Congress to pick up the banner.”

In Indiana, legislators have put forward a bill that would ban the war-rantless use of a portable device that can track cellphone movements within a mile, as well as the numbers of incoming and outgoing calls and text messages. Indiana lawmakers also want to use warrants to limit the use of tracking devices and surveillance cam-eras.

“You could get to the point where you’re just tracking everyone’s car just for the fun of it,” said Republican Rep. Eric Koch.

Clatsop County, Ore., District Attorney Josh Marquis said the legisla-tors’ concerns are mis-placed. He said state agencies aren’t collecting the kind of metadata the NSA collects and bills curtailing the ability of local authorities to gath-er intelligence could do more harm than good.

Instead, local law en-forcement agencies are using the technology to run surveillance on drug cartels or lure sex preda-tors into online commu-nication that leads to an arrest, Marquis said.

Spotlight on GM

General Motors’ latest quarterly earnings could provide insight into how the automaker sees sales shaping up this month.

GM reported earlier this week that its sales in the U.S. fell 12 percent in January from a year earlier as frigid temperatures kept buyers away from car dealers. GM is due to deliver its fourth-quarter earnings today. Wall Street will be listening for hints as to how sales are faring in the U.S. and elsewhere.

A wider trade gap?

The Commerce Department reports its latest data on trade today.

Economists anticipate the nation’s trade deficit wid-ened in December. The trade gap narrowed to its lowest level in four years in November, as gains in energy production and stronger sales of American-made airplanes, autos and machinery lifted exports to an all-time high.

Killer quarter?

Gamers strive to rack up kills in the blockbuster shooter video game “Call of Duty.”

But has the franchise’s latest installment, “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” racked up strong sales for publisher Activision Blizzard since its November debut? Wall Street should find out today, when the company reports its fourth-quarter earnings. Source: FactSet

Fourth-quarter earnings season is entering the home- stretch — nearly 300 compa-nies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index have reported. Based on results so far, analysts expect earnings growth of 7.5 percent, compared with a year

earlier. That’s a solid number and would be the strongest quarter of growth in a year, according to S&P Capital IQ. But there’s a disconnect with the stock market. Investors are worried about larger economic issues and looking for even better results. The S&P 500 index is down 4.7 percent since earnings season kicked off on January 9.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE:

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis

[email protected]

Dear Annie: I recently found out that my hus-band has been calling escorts who advertise on-line. I am not sure wheth-er he ever hooked up with any of them. I am just shocked that he is doing this and that it has been going on for quite some time.

I feel stupid that it took me so long to pick up on it. It appears he and his bud-dies had this system go-ing to cover for each other when they communicated with these women. And then he gives me a Christ-mas card that says how much he loves me. It’s as if he dumped 30 years of marriage down the gutter. It’s the same as cheating.

Let this be a heads up to all the women out there: Check your husband’s cellphone bills. You may be surprised to fi nd out who they are talking to. Staying in the marriage with this going on is not an option. Why am I the one to feel ashamed be-cause of what he did? — Pennsylvania

Dear Pennsylvania: You feel ashamed be-cause you think he made a fool of you. The man you loved and have been mar-ried to for so long was behaving in a way that shocked and humili-ated you. He is the one who should be ashamed of being so disrespectful toward you and your mar-

riage.Dear Annie: Whenever

we are at a party, espe-cially during the holiday season, my usually re-sponsible husband invari-ably drinks to excess. He gets loud and then louder. A jolly drunk, but still a drunk.

I’m not a teetotaler, but I stop at one or two glasses. I get that I’m not responsible for my hus-band’s behavior, but it is both embarrassing and frightening. Who is this guy? When I express my concerns (the day after), he becomes petulant or surly. He promises to limit his drinking, but it doesn’t happen.

We’ve been married for 43 years, and this behav-ior has developed only over the past few. Other than being the designated driver, how do I deal with my party animal? — His Wet Blanket

Dear Wet Blanket: If this behavior is fairly recent, please sug-gest to your husband that he get a complete checkup. Ask to go with (so you can men-tion your concerns to the doctor). Most of-fi ces will also permit you to alert the doc-

tor by phone or letter. Another suggestion is to videotape his drunken behavior so he can see for himself how out of control he is. We hope it helps.

Dear Annie: This is for “Waiting for Your An-swer,” who complained about bank personnel chatting up the custom-ers.

When I was a bank teller in Miami, the Fed-eral Banking Commission held a mandatory infor-mation workshop on how to prevent bank holdups. Two segments in particu-lar apply to this issue. All greeters and tellers were instructed to:

1. Look the customer in the eye while greeting him/her. This will deter any motive other than banking.

2. Carry on a very brief, pleasant conversation while handling all trans-actions. This puts any intentioned robber ill at ease because they know you will be able to identify them.

As customers depart, note the height chart that is always posted at the door. The greeter will be doing the same as the customer enters the bank. This helps personnel bet-ter describe the person.

Remember that a brief, light conversation may help to protect you, your money and your fellow depositors. — A Safe Bank Teller

Horoscopes

Developmental Industries celebrates 25 years of service this year. Find out what they do in a

story coming Sunday by Staff Writer/Photographer Zack Steen.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your success lies in realizing how foolish it is to try to obtain talents you don’t naturally pos-sess when you could be using your time and energy to polish the ones you do possess.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Do what you can, and don’t bother with what you don’t believe in. You are not underestimating your talents by refraining from doing certain tasks. Your inner wisdom dictates that some things are simply not worth doing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Re-garding a creative project, the end is not in sight, and so you’ll have to keep it in your mind. Rest assured, you are further along than you think you are. Don’t give up now!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Success will depend on the ver-bal connections you make. Be forthcoming with good topics. Make it easy for other people to talk with you. You’ll need a dozen high-quality topics at the ready.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The one

you love needs to be able to mix and mingle with your other loved ones. Such an effort is one way a person can show devotion, and you will appreciate this. The one who doesn’t make this effort isn’t doing enough for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There was a time when you didn’t know how to brush your own teeth, and the person who did that for you taught you how to do it. Now you’ll take on a daunt-ing task that will soon become as automatic, habitual and easy as brushing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The Greek goddess Charis was beau-tiful and charitable by nature. From her name comes the word “charisma,” which is the quality you possess in great quantity now and will apply generously to help out a friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Defi ne your vision and purpose. If you leave it to chance, human nature will take over to help you serve selfi sh purposes. Think it through fi rst, and you’ll come up

with the best plan.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). A tendency of humans is to rate their skills and traits as bet-ter than they actually are. But a person who can’t admit fault or weakness is unlikely to improve. The cosmic gift you embrace now is a realistic self-perception.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re ready to take a proj-ect to the next level, but you have to get more people on board to make this happen. Jump into the social swirl and charm them. If you don’t, someone else will.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Relationships will improve with better organization. You’ll carve out time to give your undivided attention to a loved one, and the connection you feel will make both of you stronger.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll lay the groundwork for a landmark agreement. This is not the time to commit or make a decision. This is the time to put your feelers out and explore what is possible.

DEAR ABBY: I am writing about the letter from “Holding My Tongue” (Nov. 8), the woman who was upset because many children were playing with elec-tronic devices during her grand-children’s school concerts and recitals. While I agree that most children should pay attention to the event at hand, as the mother of two children on the autism spectrum, I have a different per-spective.

There are apps and games de-signed to keep these children oc-cupied and help them deal with the stress and anxiety of being in a large group of people. I should not have to leave my sons at home because they are on the spectrum, so a harmless, quiet game that allows them to partici-pate without being disruptive is a godsend to me.

Sometimes it is not obvious WHY someone is doing some-thing; so as long as it isn’t dis-rupting the event, please try to be tolerant. -- LAURA IN PENN-

SYLVANIA

DEAR LAURA: Your point is well-stated, and was one made by a number of parents of chil-dren with special needs. Read-ers had interesting comments on this topic. Here are a few:

DEAR ABBY: If there’s a pos-sibility young children could be unruly during a performance, I think they should be allowed to use a tablet or something to keep them occupied.

Sometimes it’s hard to fi nd a sit-ter or afford one. When children get dragged to p r o g r a m s they have no interest in, they lose patience and become fi dg-ety. If given

something to occupy their at-tention, as long as it has head-phones, then I don’t see a prob-lem. I’d rather have that than kids screaming and crying because they’re unhappy being there. -- UNDERSTANDING IN LOUISIANA

DEAR ABBY: In this digital age, we have lost touch with basic common decency and respect for others. I not only notice this in children, but adults as well. I have seen people check their emails while they are in church, or couples sitting together at a restaurant, both fi xated on their electronic devices and not speaking a word to each other.

It’s sad to imagine what the next generation will be like if we don’t start putting the devices down and interacting with each other again. I raised all three of my kids this way, so I know it’s not impossible. -- MAINTAINING

HUMAN CONTACT

DEAR ABBY: When my pre-cious mother passed away last

summer, my sister-in-law brought two handheld games to the fu-neral. My niece and nephew played and played while the pas-tor spoke about my mother.

It was the last straw for me in a series of incredibly rude actions over the years. My children were also appalled. When respect is no longer taught at home, we sink to the lowest level as a so-ciety. -- DEBRA ON THE EAST

COAST

DEAR ABBY: I have stopped attending my friends’ grandchil-dren’s recitals because I, too, cannot tolerate rudeness. Many parents today just don’t want to bother with their children. If there is a toy that can keep them busy, their parents “enable” them to grow up as idiots who can’t ap-preciate the world and its beauty because their world is lived en-tirely on an electronic screen. -- GEORGE IN SOUTH CAROLINA

DEAR ABBY: What parents who allow this type of behavior don’t seem to understand is that it transfers to the classroom. Their children assume it’s OK to ignore the teacher, the lesson and instructions that in some cases could save a life. -- FRUS-

TRATED EDUCATOR IN MIAMI

Kid’s handheld electronics may be more than fun and games


ANN ARBOR, Mich. — For the fi rst time since the start of Big Ten play, Michigan has to recover from a loss.

That leaves coach John Beilein a bit uncertain about how his team will react.

“You do not know,” he said. “That’s the beauty of coaching 19-year-old kids.”

Michigan’s unbeaten run in conference play came to an end Sunday in a 63-52 loss at Indi-

ana. The Wolverines have reached the halfway point of their Big Ten schedule tied for fi rst, exceeding expectations after losing big man Mitch McGary to a back injury. Now, how-ever, they’re in the middle of a fi ve-games-in-13-days stretch that leaves little time for major adjust-ments along the way.

“We’re in a week right now where we can’t prac-tice as long,” Beilein said. “It’s diffi cult, but we just keep moving on.”

The 10th-ranked Wol-

verines (16-5, 8-1) hosted Nebraska on Wednesday night.

Michigan has been able to replace McGary, who is out indefi nitely, while Nik Stauskas, Caris LeVert and freshman Derrick Walton have all contributed on the perimeter. The Wol-verines lost guards Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. to the NBA after last year’s Final Four run, but Michigan has remained diffi cult to defend.

Indiana, however, shut down Stauskas, who

scored only six points on 1-for-6 shooting against the Hoosiers. It was a rare off day for the 6-foot-6 sophomore.

“He’s a focal point of our offense, but I believe he understands now, he’s a focal point of people’s defense,” Beilein said. “That’s what you get.”

Indiana limited Staus-kas, and Glenn Robinson III’s impact was minimal as well. Beilein pointed out that it can be hard to make adjustments from possession to possession

in basketball.“It’s a fl ow sport. You

don’t have huddle time — ‘Oh, I see what they’re do-ing, let’s run this from our other play list.’ You don’t have that opportunity,” Beilein said. “You don’t have huddle-ups that last 30 seconds and you can redirect. Flow sports, it’s diffi cult to change.”

Nebraska (11-9, 3-5) was one of six Big Ten teams with exactly fi ve confer-ence losses heading into Tuesday night’s action — only Michigan, Michi-

gan State and Iowa have fewer. It’s been teams like Nebraska, Northwestern and Penn State — who are unheralded but capable of an upset — that have made this conference race so fascinating this season.

The Cornhuskers nearly knocked off Michigan last month, but the Wolver-ines were able to come away with a 71-70 win on the road.

Beilein said Nebraska’s Terran Petteway might become the best player in the league.

Michigan hopes to rebound from 1st conference defeatThe Associated Press

SATURDAY, FEB. 8TEXAS AT KANSAS STATESurprising Texas improved to 6–2 in the Big 12with a convincing win over Kansas on Satur-day. The Longhorns have defeated Iowa State,Kansas State, Baylor and KU in the last fourgames. Not bad for a team picked to finish any-where from eighth to 10th in the Big 12 in thepreseason. K-State has slipped to the middleof the pack after a hot start in the league (4–1),but this team is tough to beat in Manhattan.

MICHIGAN AT IOWAIowa can play its way back into the Big Ten raceif it takes care of business this week at homeagainst Ohio State on Tuesday and Michigan onSaturday. Michigan lost for the first time in BigTen action on Sunday at Indiana, but theWolverines — with a road win at MichiganState in their back pocket — still have to beconsidered the team to beat.

BAYLOR AT OKLAHOMABaylor stopped a five-game losing streak witha surprising — and potentially season-saving— win at Oklahoma State last Saturday. Thisteam has enough talent to work its way backinto the NCAA Tournament picture. Oklahoma’sroster isn’t as impressive as Baylor’s, but theSooners have the advantage on the bench —Lon Kruger is one of the game’s elite coaches.

NORTH CAROLINA AT NOTRE DAMEThe Tar Heels have recovered from a disastrousstart in ACC play and once again appear to bea team capable of winning some games in theNCAA Tournament. Notre Dame has struggledto remain relevant in the ACC without JerianGrant, who was lost for the season due to ac-ademics. Mike Brey’s team is very tough tobeat at home — the Irish knocked off Duke inSouth Bend on Jan. 4 — but Carolina has thedecided edge in talent.

CINCINNATI AT SMUIt’s gone largely unnoticed, but Cincinnati is offto a 10–0 start in the new American AthleticConference. The Bearcats, who already havewins at Memphis and Louisville, will be testedon Saturday at suddenly relevant SMU. TheMustangs, under the guidance of Larry Brown,improved to 6–3 in the American with a re-sounding win over Memphis last weekend.SMU is closing in on its first NCAA Tournamentappearance since 1993.

PROVIDENCE AT XAVIERProvidence and Xavier are among a pack ofteams fighting for third place — behindCreighton and Villanova — in the new-look BigEast. Both teams feature star power, with BryceCotton leading the way for Providence andSemaj Christon continuing to shine at Xavier.

OREGON AT ARIZONA STATEThis is a key game between two middle-of-the-pack Pac-12 teams who figure to be fightingfor at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament. Ari-zona State rebounded from a slow start inleague play and is now 5–4 with a three-gamehomestand looming. Oregon stopped thebleeding with a win over USC at home on Sat-urday, but the Ducks have not played well sincethe end of December.

MISSOURI AT OLE MISSTwo of the nation’s most feared 3-point shoot-ers will be on display in Oxford this weekendwhen Marshall Henderson and the Rebels hostJabari Brown and Mizzou. Henderson’s overallshooting percentage is down from last season,but he’s been more accurate from 3-point rangedespite attempting more shots per game.Brown, the SEC’s leading scorer (20.4 ppg), isshooting 47.7 percent from beyond the arc.

GONZAGA AT MEMPHISGonzaga has already hit the 20-win mark, butthe Bulldogs have not defeated a sure-fire NCAATournament team yet. Beating Memphis on theroad would do wonders for the Zags’ résumé.Memphis shouldn’t have to worry about earningan invite to the NCAAs, but the Tigers could usea few more quality wins to improve their seed.

WICHITA STATE AT NORTHERN IOWAWichita State’s undefeated record will be put tothe test this week with trips to Indiana State onWednesday and Northern Iowa on Saturday. UNIhas struggled a bit of late, but the Panthers beatVCU at home earlier this season. Wichita Statewill have to play well to win this game.

SUNDAY, FEB. 9MICHIGAN STATE AT WISCONSINA month ago, we were wondering if this mightbe Bo Ryan’s best team at Wisconsin. Now, weare asking: What happened? Once 16–0, theBadgers carried a 17–5 mark into Tuesday’sgame at Illinois. The biggest issue for Ryan’steam has been on defense. Michigan Statestubbed its toe in a neutral-site game againstGeorgetown last weekend, but the Spartans re-main a threat to reach the Final Four.

CREIGHTON AT ST. JOHN’SSt. John’s has the talent to get on a late-seasonroll and make a run at the NCAA Tournament.The Red Storm’s only loss in the last five gamescame by three at Creighton on a Doug McDer-mott 3-pointer in the closing seconds. Creightonis 8–1 in the Big East and leads the league inboth offensive and defensive efficiency in con-ference games.

Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia

Who was the Player of the Monthin college basketball in January?

Mitch Light: I didn’t overthinkthis one; it’s Doug McDermott fromCreighton. The frontrunner for Na-tional Player of the Year honors, Mc-Dermott was sensational duringJanuary, averaging 26.1 points and6.1 rebounds while shooting over 50percent from the field. He started theNew Year with a 30-point, 10-re-bound performance in a win at SetonHall and capped it off with a season-high 39 points — including thegame-winning three with 2.5 secondsremaining — in a 63–60 victory overSt. John’s.

David Fox: Even though DougMcDermott is a virtual certainty forNational Player of the Year, my topplayer of January is one of the fewplayers in the Big East who can matchMcDermott’s scoring prowess. BryceCotton of Providence has been one ofthe most underrated players in thecountry, but the Friars are on theprecipice of their first NCAA bid in adecade thanks to Cotton’s play of late.Cotton averaged 21.7 points and 6.3rebounds in a month that saw Provi-dence beat Georgetown, Creightonand Butler. Even more, Cotton hasbeen a workhorse, averaging 41.1minutes per game thanks to a double-overtime game against St. John’s inwhich he played all 50 minutes.

Braden Gall: Few players had asgood of a start to the 2014 calendaryear as Cincinnati’s Sean Kilpatrick.First of all, the Bearcats went 9–0 inconference play during January, high-lighted by wins at Memphis andLouisville. Kilpatrick scored 18 in theroad win over the Tigers and 28 in theroad win over the Cardinals. On themonth, the Cincy sharpshooter aver-aged 20.1 points and 4.8 reboundsand shot 86 percent from the foul line.In addition, he had just nine turnoversin the final seven games of the month.

Bigger surprise: Texas (6–2 inthe Big 12) or Virginia (8–1 in theACC)?

Light: Anyone who watched Vir-ginia in the month of December hasto be stunned that the Cavs are off tosuch a fast start in the ACC. In a four-

day stretch in early December, Vir-ginia scored 38 points in a loss athome to Wisconsin and lost at GreenBay. Then after closer-than-expectedwins over Northern Iowa and Nor-folk State, Virginia was blasted by 35points at Tennessee. Since that deba-cle in Knoxville, the Cavs are 8–1,with the only loss coming by threepoints at Duke. The emergence ofsophomore guard Malcolm Brogdonas a consistent scorer has been a hugekey. Since failing to score in 21 min-utes in the loss at Tennessee, Brog-don has averaged 15.2 points, with alow of 11 against Florida State and ahigh of 18 against Virginia Tech. Vir-ginia is done with Duke and NorthCarolina, and only has to play Syra-cuse once — at home. Don’t beshocked if this team stays in the ACCtitle hunt until early March.

Fox: Texas is perhaps the biggestsurprise of any team since conferenceplay began. With a new athletic di-rector and diminishing results in re-cent years, Rick Barnes appeared tobe on his last leg with the Longhorns.Entering the season, the Horns didnot have the look of a team ready tocompete in a deep Big 12. The rosterhad been shed of most of its high-profile recruits — and it’s worthmentioning those prospects didn’t re-ally pan out anyway. In reality,though, Texas shed itself of malcon-tents and egos. The Longhorns havebecome a legit team in the Big 12 anda threat to advance in the NCAATournament thanks to the out-of-nowhere emergence of JonathanHolmes, the arrival of freshman pointguard Isaiah Taylor and developmentof Cameron Ridley.

Bruce Schwartzman

Creighton’s Doug McDermott was terrific in the month of January and heads into thestretch drive as the favorite to be named National Player of the Year.

TYLER HAWS, BYUBYU has been a disappointment this season,but the Cougars are getting great productionfrom Haws. A junior guard from Alpine, Utah,Haws averaged 35.5 points while shooting 59.5percent from the field to lead BYU to wins overPacific and Saint Mary’s last week. He is aver-aging 24.6 points.

YOGI FERRELL, INDIANAWith Indiana desperate for a quality win, Fer-rell delivered in the clutch, scoring 27 points tolead the Hoosiers’ offense and helping slowdown Michigan’s Nik Stauskas on the defen-sive end of the floor.

Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said Wednesday that his 23-member class will go a long way toward fi lling the program’s short-and long-term needs.

The Bulldogs signed a class that includes several highly rated in-state prospects, including running back Aeris Williams and linebacker Gerri Green. Green was a four-star recruit according to Rivals.

Williams rushed for nearly 4,000 yards during his high school career and could help fi ll the void of depart-ed senior LaDarius Perkins.

Mississippi State is trying to im-prove on a 7-6 record last season, which included a Liberty Bowl win.

Mullen said he “couldn’t be happier with what happened and who we got.”

The Bulldogs did miss on at least one prospect.

Four-star cornerback Tee Shepard chose to sign with rival Mississippi over the Bulldogs.

But there was also some good news. The Bulldogs landed three-star defen-sive lineman Cory Thomas, who was also considering Tennessee.

“The class we have coming in will obviously fi ll some needs for us (im-mediately), and help us in the future,” Mullen said. “That is so important to me.”

The class ranks about 40th nation-

OXFORD — Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze pulled in another impressive signing class on Wednesday, even if it lacks some of the star power from a year ago.

There wasn’t much drama for Freeze, though the Rebels did surprise some by landing Tee Shepard, one of the na-tion’s top junior college de-fensive backs.

Freeze hopes some of big-gest names in the 27-man class, including Shepard, of-fensive lineman Rod Taylor, defensive lineman Breeland Speaks and receiver Markell Pack, can contribute immedi-

ately.Taylor and Speaks were two

of the most highly regarded recruits in Mississippi. The 6-foot-3, 320-pound Taylor was one of the nation’s top-rated interior linemen, ac-cording to the major recruit-ing sites.

Rivals and Scout had the Ole Miss class ranked in the teens nationally.

Freeze said this class “might be better from top to bottom” than the star-studded class of 2013, which included defen-sive end Robert Nkemdiche, receiver Laquon Treadwell and offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. All three were 5-star recruits and important con-

tributors as freshmen.But Freeze said the pro-

gram has fi nally stockpiled enough talent that several of the program’s newest players can take a year or two to de-velop.

“I sure hope we can redshirt more kids than we were able to the last few years,” Freeze said. “It’s a sign we’re headed in the right direction, getting some kids some more matu-rity before they have to hit the fi eld.”

National rankings (Rivals

18; Scout 14).Best in class: Rod Tay-

lor, OL, Jackson, Miss. The 6-foot-3, 320-pound Under

Armour All-American could help the Rebels right away on the offensive line. He was the consensus top-rated recruit in Mississippi and among the nation’s top interior offensive linemen.

Best of the rest: Breeland Speaks, DL, Jackson, Miss., Markell Pack, WR, Purvis, Miss. Speaks and Pack will be expected to compete for playing time quickly. Pack could help fi ll the void left by WR Donte Moncrief, who de-clared for the NFL draft last month.

The Southeastern Confer-ence dominates recruiting as thoroughly as it rules the rest of college football.

As Signing Day came to a close Wednesday, SEC schools fi lled seven of the top nine spots in the 247Sports Composite recruiting rank-ings, which equally weigh the ratings of all the major recruiting services. Last year, seven SEC programs ranked among the top 13 teams.

Alabama led the way by fi n-ishing atop the team stand-ings for a fourth consecutive year. Other SEC teams in the top 10 included No. 2 LSU, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 6 Au-

burn, No. 7 Tennessee, No. 8 Georgia and No. 9 Florida.

“It’s the nature of our con-ference,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. “That’s why it’s the most competitive con-ference in the country.”

The SEC landed most of the top talent in its own territory and made an impact across the country.

According to the 247Sports Composite, SEC schools land-ed the No. 1 prospect in the state in such non-SEC areas as Arizona (Texas A&M quar-terback Kyle Allen), Iowa (Al-abama offensive tackle Ross Pierschbacher), Illinois (LSU linebacker Clifton Garrett), Oklahoma (Alabama quar-

terback David Cornwell), Vir-ginia (Alabama defensive end Da’Shawn Hand) and Wyo-ming (Florida offensive tackle Taven Bryan).

The country is getting smaller,” LSU coach Les Miles said. “It is smaller with the technology. Phones are computer devices. Planes fl y more effi ciently and you can travel more effi ciently. That’s what’s going on. Guys want the opportunity to play at the best programs. They want to go to places where they can play as freshmen. They want to go to places where they can show their skills to the NFL. Those schools have those ad-vantages and that’s where the

players want to go.”And even though the SEC

must replace departing star quarterbacks Johnny Man-ziel, A.J. McCarron, Aaron Murray and Zach Metten-berger, it’s reloading quite well. Six of the top eight pro-style quarterbacks in the 247Sports Composite signed with SEC schools: Allen, Will Grier (Florida), Cornwell, Jacob Park (Georgia), Drew Barker (Kentucky) and Sean White (Auburn).

SEATTLE — Hundreds of thousands of notoriously loud Seahawks fans cranked up the volume Wednesday, cheering, chanting and going berserk during a parade and ceremony to celebrate the fi rst Super Bowl victory in the history of the franchise.

The mood in Seattle was electrifi ed as the parade fea-turing the NFL champions began near the Space Needle

and made its way to Centu-ryLink Field, the home of the team.

At a ceremony inside the stadium, the team thanked its loyal followers — the 12th Man — capping a day of bois-terous celebration that drew an estimated 700,000 revel-ers to Seattle.

Players were introduced by the order of their jersey numbers and ended with No. 3, quarterback Russell

Wilson, who walked onto the fi eld pumping the Lombardi Trophy in the air to thunder-ous applause. “Our plan is to win another one for you next year,” Wilson said later.

Coach Pete Carroll led the crowd in a “Seahawks! Se-ahawks!” chant and said the team will be back. “We’re just getting warmed up, if you know what I’m talking about,” he said.

Nick Sutton watched the

parade from Westlake Center and considered it a highlight when he threw a football to one of the players who threw it back to him. “It’s surreal. It’s hard to believe. Seeing this now, it’s fi nally sinking in,” he said.

Hundreds of thousands of fan lined the streets of down-town Seattle early in the day and cheered as the players

HATTIESBURG — South-ern Mississippi announced a 23-member class that coach Todd Monken hopes will has-ten the rebuilding process for his football program.

Monken said Wednesday that fi ghting off other schools for prospects has been dif-fi cult, but, “We are fi red up about the guys that we got.”

The Golden Eagles fi nished with a 1-11 record last season, but the one victory was in the fi nal game against UAB.

The class includes four ju-nior college signees and 10 players from Mississippi.

Monken has said that he hoped the Golden Eagles’ re-cent struggles wouldn’t have much of an effect on recruit-ing because the program’s

winning history should be more persuasive.

Rivals ranked Southern Miss’ class eighth in Confer-ence USA while Scout ranked it seventh.

Here’s a an overview of Southern Mississippi’s re-cruiting class:

National ranking: (Rivals: 87, Scout: 99)

Best in class: Jon Michael

Edwards, DE, Montgomery, Ala. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound recruit was ranked a three-star by Rivals and could give the Golden Eagles some help putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Best of the rest: Dar-ian Yancey, LB, Auburn, Ala; Ito Smith, RB, Mobile, Ala.

cruiting services and included seven players rated as fi ve-star prospects by at least one service. Alabama’s collection of fi ve-star prospects includes defensive back Tony Brown, linebacker Rashaan Evans, Hand, defensive back Marlon Humphrey, offen-sive lineman Dominick Jackson, offensive lineman Cam Robin-son and all-purpose athlete Bo Scarbrough.

Impact player: LSU’s Leonard Fournette should step in and help the Tigers replace 1,400-yard rusher Jeremy Hill. Geor-gia’s Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall and Alabama’s T.J. Yeldon have shown recently that SEC running backs can make major impacts as freshmen. Fournette is rated as the nation’s No. 1 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite.

Players to watch: Texas A&M has a couple of them in Allen and defensive end Myles Garrett. Al-len already has enrolled and will participate in spring practice with a legitimate shot at replac-ing Manziel, the 2012 Heis-man Trophy winner. Defensive end Myles Garrett, the nation’s No. 2 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite, should boost the pass rush of a Texas A&M defense that allowed the most points and yards per game of any SEC team last season.

Biggest surprises: Tennes-see had its fourth straight los-ing season last fall and Kentucky went 2-10, yet both teams signed their top classes in recent mem-ory. Tennessee kept the state’s top players at home, something that had been a problem in re-cent years. Kentucky signed a prize quarterback prospect in Barker - a home-state product - and also made plenty of inroads in nearby Ohio.

Biggest dud: A potential top-25 class at Vanderbilt was decimated after former Commo-dores coach James Franklin left for Penn State. New coach Derek Mason needed a fl urry of com-mitments in the last 72 hours just to get Vanderbilt back in the top 50.

surprised many by landing one of the nation’s top junior college defensive backs. He could help immediately at a spot the Rebels need some depth.

Freeze said the recruitment of Shepard intensifi ed during the past week. Shepard was also a Mississippi State target. Freeze said Shepard has some work to do academically, but the coach is optimistic he can be eligible next season.

One that got away: Malachi Dupre, WR, New Orleans. The Rebels wanted Dupre, but it was always a longshot to lure the star receiver from LSU.

Yancey is another promising de-fensive player. He enrolled this spring, which will give him time to learn the program’s playbook.

Late addition: Jordan Mitch-ell, WR, Oak Grove. Mitchell fought injuries during his senior season of high school, but the 6-foot-2, 190-pounder has a lot of potential. Mitchell learned under former NFL quarter-back Brett Favre, who was Oak Grove’s offensive coordinator the past two seasons.

One that got away: Torrence Brown, ATH, Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Golden Eagles would have liked to have Brown, but he de-cided to sign with Penn State.

rolled by.Thousands of students ap-

parently skipped school to at-tend. Seattle Public Schools said more than 25 percent of the district’s 51,000 students were absent in the morning. By comparison, about 5 percent were absent the day before. The school district also said 565 teachers were absent, far more than usual.

“This is a historical event, once in a lifetime. To not show up would be blasphemy,” said Jesse Lake, 36, a carpenter from Port Orchard, who stood in the packed parking lot out-side CenturyLink Field to greet the team as they arrived.

Shawn Cooper and Mar-lana Studebaker of Covington staked out a spot hours before the parade started and dis-played supersized photo cut-outs of Wilson and cornerback

Richard Sherman, prompting many fans to stop and take photos.

“This was a long-awaited win. It’s well worth the wait,” Coo-per said. “They’re years ahead of their time, which makes me believe there’s another one coming.”

Dakota Heaphy, 20, and friend Ellie Hergert, 20, drove all night from Cheyenne, Wyo. — more than 1,400 miles away.

“My boss is a Broncos fan and said we kicked their butts and deserved to go,” Hergert said.

Revelers packed the 2-mile route, wearing blue and green wigs, waving fl ags, scarves and signs, and breaking out into song and dance.

The Washington National Guard chauffeured many of the players in Humvees and other military vehicles under blue, sunny skies in cold tempera-tures. Elected offi cials rode

along in amphibious vehicles used to take tourists around the city.

Players enjoyed the celebra-tion as much as the fans.

Running back Marshawn Lynch sat on the hood of a vehicle carrying the Sea Gals cheerleaders. He tossed Skit-tles — his favorite treat — into the crowd.

Other Seahawks players threw jerseys and T-shirts to fans while waving blue “12” fl ags as a sign of gratitude.

Boisterous fans observed a “moment of loudness” at 12:12 p.m. Crowds also gathered in Spokane, Olympia and else-where in the state to celebrate the fi rst championship in the 38-year history of the franchise.

Many fans had camped out overnight to reserve front-row seats along the route, braving freezing temperatures. Others perched on window sills and balconies, climbed trees and

pillars, or sat on sturdier shoul-ders to get a better view.

At Westlake Center, smart-phones and cameras were thrust into the air whenever players rolled by.

Seattle city offi cials asked the public to keep cellphone use to a minimum to keep lines free for emergency use. There were some reported diffi culties with 911 calls getting through, said Jeff Reading, a spokesman for the mayor.

Chris Hoops, a sales worker from Everett, and his school-aged daughters left home at 7 a.m. to get a good spot.

The girls, 11-year-old Emily and 8-year-old Bella, were bun-dled in sleeping bags at his feet. They warmed up when they were asked whether they were sorry about missing school. They shouted “No!” in unison.

“I like the Seahawks,” Emily said. “They were really good this season.”

ally according to both Rivals and Scout, but just 13th out of 14 South-eastern Conference teams.

National rankings: (Rivals 41, Scout 39)

Best in class: Aeris Williams, RB, West Point, Miss. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Williams rushed for nearly 4,000 yards during his prep career and could help the Bulldogs’ backfi eld immediately.

Best of the rest: Gerri Green, LB, Greenville, Miss., Jamoral Graham, WR, Decatur, Miss. Mississippi

State hopes Green is the latest in a long line of quality linebackers in Starkville.

Late addition: Cory Thomas, DL, Bessemer, Ala. The Bulldogs were able to add some depth along the defensive line with Thomas. The 6-foot-5, 273-pounder was also considering Tennessee.

One that got away: Tee Shepard, DB, Fresno, Calif. Mississippi State thought they had a great shot at Shepard, who was one of the na-tion’s top junior college defensive backs. He ended up signing with ri-val Mississippi.
