Kurds oust Islamic State after four-month battle
man charged
in string of
burglaries
BY ZEINA KARAM
The Associated Press
From Staff Reports
A search warrant and a
stolen gun in Knox County led local authorities to
charge a Maryville man in
connection with a rash of
local home burglaries.
Christopher Shane Pack,
31, Sims Road, Maryville,
was charged with seven
counts of aggravated burglary, with other charges
pending, according to a
Blount County Sheriff ’s
Office release. He was
held Monday evening on
a $35,000 bond pending a
Jan. 28 hearing.
The investigation that led
to Pack’s arrest began in
Knox County. According
to reports, Knox County
Sheriff ’s Office deputies
had executed a search warrant on a residence in south
Knox County on Jan. 22.
That search turned up a
gun, which police records
showed had recently been
reported stolen out of
Blount County.
When Knox County officials called to confirm
the theft, a Blount County Sheriff ’s Office detective joined the investigation. Further action on the
aforementioned search
warrant revealed a number of other stolen items —
jewelry, more guns, TVS,
pressure washers — many
of them having reportedly
been taken out of Blount
County.
Further investigation
linked Christopher Shane
Pack to the burglaries,
though Pack was not a resident of the home where the
search took place.
Reports said Pack is
believed to have participated in a series of home
burglaries that occurred
between November and
January, including burglaries on Temple Road, Ellejoy Road, Old Chilhowee
Road, West Vinegar Valley, Jim Norton Loop, Old
Niles Ferry and Sevierville
Road.

BEIRUT — Jubilant Kurdish fighters ousted Islamic State militants from the
key Syrian border town of
Kobani on Monday after
a four-month battle — a
significant victory for both
the Kurds and the U.S.-led
coalition.
The Kurds raised their
flag on a hill that once flew
the Islamic State group’s
black banner. On Kobani’s war-ravaged streets,
gunmen fired in the air
in celebration, male and
female fighters embraced,
and troops danced in their
baggy uniforms.
The failure to capture
Kobani was a major blow
to the extremists whose
hopes for an easy victory
dissolved into a costly siege
under withering airstrikes
by coalition forces and an
assault by the Kurdish militia.
For the U.S. and its partners, Kobani became a strategic prize, especially after
they increased the number of airstrikes against IS
fighters there in October.
“Daesh gambled on Kobani
and lost,” said senior Kurdish
official Idriss Nassan, using
the Arabic acronym for the
Islamic State group.
“Their defenses have collapsed, and its fighters have
fled,” he told The Associated Press from Turkey, adding that he would return to
Kobani on Tuesday.
Kobani-based journalis
Farshad Shami said the few
civilians who remained had
joined in the celebration.
Most of the town of about
60,000 people had fled to
Turkey to escape the fighting.
Several U.S. officials
said they couldn’t confirm
that Kurdish fighters have
gained full control of Kobani, but added that they have
no reason to disbelieve the
claims.
A senior U.S. official said
the Kurds controlled most
of the town and have consolidated control particularly in the central and

Man charged with aggravated burglary
Robert Charles
Mitchell Jr.
From Staff Reports
A Knoxville man was arrested on
an aggravated burglary charge Saturday in the wake of an early-January incident wherein he allegedly
took a PlayStation gaming system
at knifepoint from the home of an
ex-girlfriend.
Robert Charles Mitchell Jr. was
arrested Jan. 24 by Blount County Sheriff ’s Office and charged
with one count of aggravated burglary.
According to Blount County
Sheriff ’s Office reports, Mitchell’s charge stemmed from a Jan. 8
incident when deputies answered
a call from a former girlfriend of
Mitchell was charged with
aggravated burglary for
allegedly taking a PlayStation
gaming system at knifepoint.
Mitchell’s, a 19-year-old Louisville woman. Reports said that a
deputy noticed “several PlayStation 3 games scattered in front of
the residence” as he approached
the woman’s home.
The woman reported that
Mitchell had come to her residence uninvited, holding a knife
in each hand. He advanced upon
her, she said, demanding that she
tell him “where his PlayStation 3
was.” She told deputies that she
had purchased the gaming system
while she and Mitchell were living together.
Fearing for her safety, she said
she told him where the PlayStation was located, whereupon he
grabbed the gaming system and
games, throwing the games themselves back at the residence as he
fled the scene.
ORDER OF PROTECTION
The woman said she had filed an
order of protection against Mitchell prior to the incident, due to other instances of volatile behavior.
Deputies observed that the order
had not yet been served.
During the disturbance call,
reports said the alleged victim
received a voice mail message
from Mitchell. A deputy reported listening to the message, which
consisted of a man saying, “You
can bet I’ll be back.”
A witness confirmed the woman’s account of Mitchell’s actions,
saying he, too, had feared for her
safety when Mitchell came to the
home, reports said.
Mitchell was believed to have
fled to Knoxville after the incident.
Blount County authorities issued
an aggravated burglary warrant
immediately upon receiving the
Jan. 8 incident report.

CHILIFEST 2015
Citizens Against the Pellissippi Parkway Extension
is planning its 13th annual ChiliFest fundraiser on
Feb. 7 in advance of a decision which may affect the
future of the controversial
project.
ChiliFest will be held at
Stovall Family Life Center in Maryville. Four ribbons and cash prizes will be
awarded as three categories
of chili — beef, other meats
and vegetarian — compete
for the judges’ decisions.
The People’s Choice will be
determined by votes from
the tasting public.
Meanwhile, the Federal
Highway Administration
is expected to issue a decision on the fate of the proposed Pellissippi Parkway
extension that CAPPE has
been opposing for more
than a decade. According
to Tennessee Department
of Transportation, a decision is still expected to be
issued this spring.
The proposal would
extend Pellissippi Parkway
(State Route 162) from Old
Knoxville Highway to East
Lamar Alexander Parkway
321, a length of about 4.4
miles. TDOT’s preferred
route for the proposed

In July 2013, TDOT chose
to propose a 150-foot alignment shift to the west at the
southern end of the route in
order to avoid a sensitive
archeological site. This will
affect some residents of the
Kensington Place mobile
home community.
In July 2014, the FHWA
approved an Environmental
Protection Agency re-evaluation of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
The findings were that the
changes to the alternatives
considered in the impact
statement as well as modifications to the preferred
alternative would not result
in significant environmental impacts that were not
evaluated in the impact
statement and that a supplement or a new impact
statement is not required.
The evaluation process
has been ongoing for years.
CAPPE filed a lawsuit in the
early part of the last decade
because the environmental impact statement hadn’t
been done, violating the
National Environmental
Policy Act.
A federal court halted
the project in 2002 with an
injunction. Two years later
the case was remanded to
Tennessee state court and
the injunction was lifted so
officials could begin the
environmental impact
process.
Flights canceled, delayed at McGhee Tyson Airport due to blizzard
From Staff Reports
STORM MAY hit North hard. 5A
Several flights were canceled or delayed Monday
at McGhee Tyson Airport
as airlines braced for the
blizzard bearing down on
the Northeast.
Becky Huckaby, McGhee
Tyson Airport Authority
spokeswoman, said airlines
contacted ticket holders
scheduled for canceled
flights, either to change the
day of the flight or reroute
it in the case of connecting
flights. “Over the years the
airlines have really honed
in their operational plans.
They go ahead and reroute
and rebook rather than
have to put passengers up
in hotels,” she said.
Delta Air Lines canceled
its late afternoon flights to
and from New York. US
Airways canceled flights
from Philadelphia, and
United canceled a flight
from Newark, N.J.
A US Airways departure to
Charlotte, N.C., was delayed,
as was a United Airlines
flight to Washington D.C.
There also were delays in
flights from Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver and
Atlanta that may have been
indirectly caused by the
storm as flight schedules
were adjusted.
Most delays were no more
than 30 to 24 minutes, and
some were shorter.
Huckaby said airline travelers who had not been
contacted about the status of their flight could
assume they were probably on time.
“If you are flying (today),
you’ll want to get up early
and monitor our website
(flyknoxville.com),” she
said. “This storm is supposed to be significant.
We’ll just have to wait and
see.”

Closing arguments begin in ex-Vandy players’ rape trial
BY SHEILA BURKE
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE — The rape trial
of two former Vanderbilt football players began wrapping
up Monday with a prosecutor
telling jurors that video evidence and photographs taken
of the crime would be enough
to convict them on most of the
charges.
Beyond the video footage
and photographs, testimony
from several athletes shows
the players are guilty, Assistant District Attorney Jan Norman told jurors during closing
arguments.
The proceedings capped off
a day of dramatic testimony
during which one of the former players took the stand and
testified that he was so drunk
he could not remember what
happened.
Former players Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey are
standing trial on five counts of
aggravated rape and two counts
of aggravated sexual battery. Two
other former players are facing
the same charges. Vandenburg
additionally faces a charge of
unlawful photography and tampering with evidence.
All have pleaded not guilty.
Throughout the trial, jurors
have seen graphic images of
the alleged sexual assault that
police recovered from cellphones and a laptop. Prosecutors said players took pictures
of the assault and one even sent
videos to his friends as it was
happening.
“This is normally the part of
the trial where we might say
that if we had this on photo
or if we had it on video, then
it would make the state’s job a
lot easier,” Norman told jurors
in her closing. “But we actually have this uncontradicted
proof in this case,” the prosecutor said of one of the rape
charges.
DEFENSE: PLAYERS DRUNK
Defense attorneys have claimed
that the players were drunk, one
of them saying his client had an
alcoholic blackout.
“Ladies and gentleman, I submit to you that the only person
who was unconscious and didn’t
know what was going on was (the
victim),” Norman told jurors in
her closing arguments.
A defense attorney for Batey
responded by telling jurors that
they would not see video or photographic evidence of his client
having sex with the coed.
“The testimony was he was crazy drunk and didn’t know what
he was doing,” Robinson told
jurors of Batey. Robinson also
blamed a college culture that
encouraged binge drinking and
sex and said it wasn’t just limited
to Vanderbilt.
SUSPECT TESTIFIES
The closing arguments came
after Batey took the stand and
testified that he can’t remember the alleged sexual assault
that prosecutors say he and three
players carried out.
“I was just drunk out of my
mind,” Batey testified. “This is
something I would never do in
my right state of mind. I’m just
sorry.”
Batey told jurors that he was
horrified when he saw on his
cellphone explicit pictures of a
woman he’d never met.
“I didn’t know how they got
there,” Batey said. “I didn’t know
what happened to the young lady
in the pictures. I immediately
deleted them.”
Batey was a 19-year-old who
had just come out of his freshman year when he and three of
his teammates were charged with
raping an unconscious student
in a dorm in June 2013.
VICTIM CRYING
The alleged victim in the case
was doubled over and crying
in her seat in the courtroom
and appeared to be vomiting
while Batey was on the stand.
She testified last week she had
no recollection of being sexually assaulted. The Associated Press generally does not
identify alleged victims of sex
crimes.
Vandenburg’s defense did not
get a chance to make a closing
argument and is set to do so on
this morning.
Vandenburg is not accused of
having sex with the woman or
penetrating her in any way. But
he has been charged with aggravated rape because he is accused
of encouraging other players to
have sex with her.
Vandenburg and the woman
had gone out earlier in the eve-
COALITION: Town becomes key in fight against ISIS
FROM 1A
southern areas. The official
said Islamic State militants
still have a considerable
presence in outlying areas
around Kobani and are still
putting up stiff resistance
to the Kurds in those pockets outside it.
U.S. Central Central
Command estimates that
90 percent of Kobani is
now controlled by Kurdish forces.
Kurdish officials and
activists said Kobani was
entirely in Kurdish hands,
with only sporadic fighting on the eastern outer
edges where the militants
retained some footholds.
The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human
Rights said fighters of
the main Kurdish militia known as the People’s
Protection Units, or YPG,
where searching houses
in the eastern suburbs of
the town and dismantling
and detonating bombs and
booby-traps left behind.
Capturing Kobani would
have given the IS militants
control of a border crossing with Turkey and open
direct lines for their positions along the frontier.
Now, it is a grave psychological loss for the extremist group, which has been
dealt a series of military
setbacks in both Syria and
Iraq, particularly at the
hands of the Kurds.
Last month, Kurdish
fighters in Iraq retook the
strategic town of Sinjar that
had been home to many of
Iraq’s minority Yazidis.
The focus is now expected to shift to several hundred villages around Kobani still held by the militants.
Kurdish activists said they
expected the fight for those
to be easier than for the
town itself.
In September, Islamic
State fighters began capturing about 300 Kurdish
villages near Kobani and
thrust into the town itself,
occupying nearly half of it
and sending tens of thousands of residents fleeing
into Turkey.
But the once-nondescript
town with few resources
quickly became a centerpiece of the international campaign against the
Islamic State group. TV
crews flocked to the Turkish side of the border and
trained their cameras on
the besieged town, plumes
of smoke rising from explosions. U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry declared
it would be “morally very
difficult” not to help Kobani.
US AIR ASSAULT
The U.S.-led air assault
began Sept. 23, with Kobani
the target of about a halfdozen daily airstrikes on
average. More than 80 percent of all coalition airstrikes in Syria have been
in or around the town.
At one point in October, the U.S. air dropped
bundles of weapons and
medical supplies for Kurdish fighters — a first in the
Syrian conflict. Dozens of
Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga
forces joined their brethren in Kobani, bringing in
heavy weapons that neutralized the Islamic State
group’s artillery advantage.
By early January, more
than 1,000 Islamic State
fighters had been killed
and much of its heavy
weaponry destroyed. The
group continued to invest
in resources, bringing in
med Barkhadan, the Kobani commander of the main
Kurdish militia known as
the People’s Protection
Units, or YPG.
Barkhadan, a well-known
militia commander, led an
offensive in 2013 that ousted Islamic militants from
the northern Syrian town
of Ras Ayn, Aburrahman
said.
Retired Marine Gen. John
Allen, the U.S. envoy for
the international coalition
fighting the IS group, had
predicted in November
that Kobani would be a
defeat for the extremists.
The militant group “has,
in so many ways, impaled
itself on Kobani,” he said
in an interview in Ankara with the Turkish daily
Milliyet.
There also was joy across
the border in Turkey, where
Kurds set off fireworks and
performed a traditional
folk dance to mark the
victory by their brethren
in predominantly Kurdish
Kobani. In Istanbul, police
used tear gas and pressurized water to break up proKurdish demonstrations in
the city.
Shami said it was a triumph for the “entire world”
that had come to Kobani’s
rescue.
“It is a historic victory,
when a small town like
Kobani defeats a formidable criminal force like
Daesh,” he said.
hundreds of reinforcements. Activists said these
included many teenagers
and even children, signaling a shortage in its forces.
The group made a last
stand in the past few
weeks, unleashing more
than 35 suicide attacks in
recent weeks, activists said.
But the advancing Kurdish fighters could not be
stopped.
Nassan said coalition airstrikes intensified in recent
days, helping the Kurds in
their final push toward IS
positions on the southern and eastern edges of
Kobani.
The U.S. Central Command said Monday it had
carried out 17 airstrikes
near Kobani in the last 24
hours that struck IS infrastructure and fighting positions.
Shami, the Kurdish journalist, said the remaining
IS militants in eastern
Kobani vacated quickly,
leaving behind fresh food
and heavy weapons.
“Their morale collapsed,”
he said by telephone as celebratory gunfire echoed in
the background.
MILITANTS FLEE
Gharib Hassou, a representative of Syria’s powerful Kurdish Democratic
Union Party, or PYD, based
in Southern Kurdistan, said
most of the militants fled to
the IS-controlled town of
Tal Abyad to the east.
“There are a lot of dead
bodies ... and they left some
of the weapons,” he said.
Rami Abdurrahman,
director of the Observatory, also confirmed Kobani was entirely in Kurdish
hands. He said the Kurdish
force was led by Moham-
ning, and he can be seen on university surveillance video carrying the unconscious woman
back to his dorm room.
“He didn’t put her in the bed,”
Norman said of Vandenburg
in her closing arguments. “He
wasn’t trying to care for her. He
put her on the floor.”
Norman said that over and
over Vandenburg encouraged
the others to violate the woman. She said the only reason he
didn’t was because he couldn’t
perform.
On Monday evening, a silent
vigil was held on the steps of the
Parthenon in Nashville to call
attention to survivors of rape
and sexual assault and to protest
what organizers said was victimblaming in the trial.
“My ultimate goal here is to
pray for a very wounded community,” said Helen Ressler, a
graduate student at Vanderbilt Divinity School and one of
about 45 people who attended
the vigil. She said she was referring to the Vanderbilt community but also the impact that
the trial is having on survivors
of sexual assault outside the
school.
Police dog helps
in recapture of
Townsend fugitive
Dustin
Skaggs
From Staff Reports
Townsend resident and
recent jailhouse fugitive
Dustin Skaggs was taken
back into custody Saturday after a Sevier County
police dog named Pasco
sniffed out Skaggs as he
hid in a car on the streets
of Sevierville.
Skaggs, 18, and David
Way, 44, of Cosby, escaped
from Sevier County Jail
Friday evening. Sevie r Co u n t y o ff i c i a l s
announced the escape and
their subsequent recapture over the weekend.
But details surrounding the incident were
unavailable before Monday morning.
A search initiated by
Sevier County Sheriff ’s
Office, the U.S. Marshals,
Sevierville Police and an
air support team from
Knox County led to the
recapture of both men.
Reports said Skaggs,
of Old Highway 73, was
found hiding in a car on
Kilby Street in Sevierville
by a pair of local officers
and K-9 partner Pasco.
Skaggs was rearrested
around 11 p.m.
Way was taken the following day when two
Sevier County Sheriff ’s
officers found him hid-

ing under Gists Creek
Bridge in Sevierville
shortly before 1 p.m.
Sunday.
Both men were taken
fairly close to their point
of escape from the Sevier
County Jail Annex, leading Sevier County Sheriff Ron Seals to speculate
that they were running on
“limited resources.”
The escape came to light
around 11:30 p.m. Friday,
reports said, when a corrections officer discovered a window breach
in a newly constructed
addition to the jail annex.
In addition to their pending charges, both Way and
Skaggs were arraigned on
charges of felony escape.
They were each being held
at Sevier County Jail, each
on a bail of $125,000.

PROMISE: Other states ask Tennessee about program
Morgan says some campuses may have to schedule
night or weekend classes
to accommodate added
students.
President Barack Obama
has praised the program
and urged Congress to
make community colleges across the U.S. tuitionfree.
Mike Krause, who was
brought in by Gov. Bill
Haslam to oversee the pro-
gram’s beginning, has been
contacted by other states
to ask him about Tennessee Promise.
“States are looking at
what Gov. Haslam has
done, and they are fundamentally going back
and saying can we do
this?” Krause said. “Our
answer to them is, for us
in Tennessee, it was the
right thing to do because
we needed to change the
conversation around the
state.”

Drone crashes at White House
BRIEFS
Former CIA officer
convicted of leaking
Iran operation data
ALEXANDRIA, Va.
— A jury has convicted
a former CIA officer
of leaking classified
details of an operation
to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions to a New
York Times reporter.
Jurors convicted
47-year-old Jeffrey
Sterling, of O’Fallon,
Mo., of all nine counts
he faced in federal
court on Monday.
Prosecutors said Sterling disclosed the mission to journalist James
Risen to get back at the
CIA for perceived mistreatment.
Sterling was the handler for a Russian-born
CIA asset nicknamed
Merlin, who was at the
center of an operation
to funnel deliberately
flawed nuclear-weapons blueprints to the
Iranians.
CBO: Deficit to fall
to lowest level of
Obama presidency
WASHINGTON —
Solid economic growth
will help the federal
budget deficit shrink
this year to its lowest level since President Barack Obama
took office, according
to congressional estimates released Monday.
The Congressional
Budget Office also
projects a 14 percent
drop in the number of
U.S. residents without
health insurance, largely because of Obama’s
health law.
For future years however, CBO issued a
warning: Beyond 2018,
deficits will start rising again as more baby
boomers retire and
enroll in Social Security and Medicare. By
2025, annual budget
deficits could once
again top $1 trillion,
unless Congress acts.
Spielberg warns of
rising anti-Semitism
KRAKOW, Poland —
Film director Steven
Spielberg told a group
of Holocaust survivors
on Monday that Jews
are again facing the
“perennial demons of
intolerance” from antiSemites who are provoking hate crimes and
trying to strip survivors of their identity.
His warning came in
a speech to dozens of
Auschwitz survivors
the evening before official commemorations
marking the 70th anniversary of the Soviet
army’s liberation of the
death camp in Nazioccupied Poland.
BY JOSH LEDERMAN
AND JOAN LOWY
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A
two-foot-long drone apparently flown by a hobbyist crashed on the White
House grounds Monday in
an extraordinary, if unintended, breach that raised
fresh questions about the
president’s security — and
a growing threat from the
sky.
A man later came forward
to say he was responsible
for the mishap in the middle of the night and hadn’t
meant to fly the drone over
the complex, officials said.
“Initial indications are that
this incident occurred as a
result of recreational use
of the device,” said Secret
Service spokesman Brian
Leary.
President Barack Obama
and his wife, Michelle, were
overseas when the quadcopter struck the southeast
side of the grounds at about
3 a.m. Daughters Sasha
and Malia stayed behind
in Washington; it was not
known whether they were
at the mansion.
US SECRET SERVICE | THE ASSOCIATED PHOTO
THIS PHOTO SHOWS THE DRONE that crashed Monday onto the White House grounds.
Officials believed the
intrusion to be the first of
its kind on the White House
grounds, although not the
first in the vicinity.
Low-flying drones like
the quadcopter — a craft
lifted by four propellers
— have become increasingly sophisticated and
affordable instruments that
authorities worry could
also become tools for terrorists or others meaning
to do harm.
Police, fire and other emergency vehicles swarmed the
White House just after the
crash, with several clustered
near the southeast entrance
to the grounds.
The White House was

dark and the entire perimeter was on lockdown until
around 5 a.m. when those
who work there were
allowed inside.
After daylight, more than
a dozen Secret Service officers fanned out in a search
across the White House
lawn as snow began to fall.
They peered down in the
grass and used flashlights
to look through the large
bushes that line the driveway on the south side of
the mansion.
The breach was bound to
reinvigorate a long-running
public debate about the use
of commercial drones in
U.S. skies — as well as concerns about White House
security. At the urging of
the drone industry, the
Obama administration is
on the verge of proposing
rules for drone operations
that would replace an existing ban on most commercial flights.
Although remote-controlled airplanes and related toys have been available for decades, the recent
proliferation of inexpensive drones has prompted
growing fears about potential collisions with traditional aircraft.
Technological advances have also made it easier to equip drones with
advanced capabilities such
as cameras, raising privacy
issues as well as concerns
that such devices could be
used by terrorists to carry
weapons.
Three Russian citizens
charged in New York spy
ring that spoke in code
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — More than
35 million people along
the Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor rushed to get
home and settle in Monday
as a fearsome storm swirled
in with the potential for
hurricane-force winds and
1 to 3 feet of snow that could
paralyze the Northeast for
days.
Snow was blowing sideways with ever-increasing
intensity in New York City
by midafternoon as flurries
began in Boston. Forecasters said the storm would
build into a blizzard, and
the brunt of it would hit late
Monday and into Tuesday.
As the snow got heavier,
much of the region rushed
to shut down.
More than 6,500 flights
in and out of the Northeast

Government offices closed.
Shoppers stocking up on

ly to declare emergencies
and order the shutdown
of streets and highways to
prevent travelers from getting stranded and to enable
plows and emergency vehicles to get through.
“This will most likely be
one of the largest blizzards
in the history of New York
City,” New York Mayor
Bill de Blasio warned. He
urged New Yorkers to go
home and stay there, adding: “People have to make
smart decisions from this
point on.”
Up to now, this has been
a largely snow-free winter
in the urban Northeast. But
this storm threatened to
make up the difference in
a single blow.
Boston was expected to
get 2 to 3 feet of snow, New
York 11⁄2 to 2 feet, and Philadelphia more than a foot.
The National Weather
Service issued a blizzard
warning for a 250-mile
swath of the region, meaning heavy, blowing snow
and potential whiteout conditions. Forecasters warned
that the wind could gust to
75 mph or more along the
Massachusetts coast, and
up 50 mph farther inland.
New York City’s subways
and buses planned to shut
down completely by 11
p.m.. Commuter railroads
across the Northeast also
announced plans to stop
running overnight. Most
flights were canceled out
of the region’s major airports.
NEW YORK — Three
Russian citizens were
charged Monday in connection with a Cold Warstyle Russian spy ring that
spoke in code, passed
information concealed in
bags and magazines, and
tried to recruit people
with ties to an unnamed
New York City university,
authorities said.
The defendants were
directed by Russian
authorities “to gather
intelligence on, among
other subjects, potential
United States sanctions
against Russian banks
and the United States’
efforts to develop alternative energy resources,”
according to a complaint
filed in federal court in
Manhattan.
Prosecutors say one
defendant, Yevgeny Buryakov, posed as an employee in the Manhattan office
of a Russian bank. The
others, Igor Sporyshev
and Victor Podobnyy, held
low-level diplomatic positions.
Buryakov, who is in the
U.S. on a work visa, was
arrested Monday in the
Bronx. The name of his
lawyer wasn’t immediately available.
The two other suspects
were protected from prosecution because of their
diplomatic status and are
believed to have returned
to Russia.
Between March 2012
through as recently as
mid-September 2014, the
FBI observed Buryakov
and Sporyshev meeting
48 times in outdoor settings, the complaint says.
Several of the meetings
“involved Buryakov passing a bag, magazine or slip
of paper to Sporyshev,”
it says.
In intercepted telephone
calls made to set up the
meetings, the pair spoke
about exchanging items
“referred to as some nonspecific ticket, book, list
or other ordinary item
(umbrella or hat),” the
complaint says. They also
“discussed their attempts
to recruit U.S. residents,
including several individuals employed by major
companies, and several
young women with ties to
a major university located in New York City,” it
says.
The investigation was
an offshoot of a 2010 case
resulting in the arrest of
10 covert agents who infiltrated suburban America.
All 10 pleaded guilty in
federal court in Manhattan to conspiracy charges
and were ordered out of
the country as part of a
spy swap for four people
convicted of betraying
Moscow to the West.

OUR VOICE
Yes, for United Way
of Blount County, 2014
was a very good year
T
he most meaningful rewards that come from helping
United Way of Blount County make a difference are
felt in the heart.
Can any award be more touching than one worn on the
face of a smiling child who reaches out for a hug when
learning, “Yes, of course you will have a hot supper and a
warm bed to sleep in tonight”?
United Way does that thousands of times a year, in small
ways that build foothills of hopefulness that grow in to
mountains of joy, both seen and unseen.
The United Way of Blount County held its annual
meeting Friday to look back on a record-giving year
when more than $2 million was contributed to help
neighbors, both known and unknown. In an act of appreciation for those who expect
no recognition, annual
awards were presented.
Jane Tolhurst received the
Best of the Best Board Member award for consistently
working both behind the
scenes and in front of the public.
The LIVE UNITED Volunteer of the Year Award for an
individual went to Tom Eustis, one of the four original
LIVE UNITED volunteers.
The LIVE UNITED Volunteer of the Year Award for
business went to Randy Burleson and Aubrey’s Restaurant, who have helped so many in our community, including Family Promise of Blount County, Leadership Blount,
Blount County 4-H, United Way and numerous local elementary, middle and high schools.
Jennifer Wackerhagen, president and CEO, recounted
United Way’s accomplishments in 2014:

tries.
Taken together, it all made a difference to the lives of
thousands. It made this special land between the Great
Smoky Mountains and the mighty Tennessee River a better
place for all.
Taken as a community acting as one, these efforts reinforced the social ties Blount Countians develop by working
together.
Taken on faith, the accomplishments continue a legacy of
community pride and reinforced a foundation generations
of Blount Countians will build upon.
It couldn’t have happened without you.
Can any award be
more touching than
one worn on the face
of a smiling child?

Trouble in Ukraine
T
he trouble in Ukraine continues after a year of bloodshed, with the latest fighting near the already leveled
airport of Donetsk.
It started with the blow-up of the corrupt government of
President Viktor Janukovych, who fled to Russia with nearly $17 billion looted from Ukraine’s treasury. He was succeeded in Kiev by President Petro Poroshenko and Prime
Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
Then Russia peeled off Crimea and part of eastern
Ukraine, including the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk,
based on its military strength and the Russian-speaking
Ukrainians it backed and armed. The Ukrainian government has been right to fight to keep its territory.
An accord to end the fighting was reached under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe in September between Russia, Ukraine and the separatists from Donetsk and Luhansk. Sadly, it has not been
respected.
It is time for the OSCE, the United Nations Security
Council and other international elements to insist to all
parties that the killing and destruction in Ukraine stop
now.

Shouting ‘racist’ isn’t answer
T
o appropriate the Franco-centric rallying
cry of those who defend satire even when
they don’t agree with it: Je suis Barbie!
Specifically, the fictional “Six New Barbie
Dolls That Reflect 21st Century Women,” which
Janet Eve Josselyn thought up and listed on the
“Points in Case” blog.
Among these treasures of contemporary femininity are “Facebook Barbie,” which posts “foodporn pictures of desserts she will never eat” and
“copious pictures of herself and Ken in front
of famous sites around the world so everyone
will know that Barbie isn’t stuck at home doing
housework anymore.”
And there’s “Hot Flash Barbie,” which “sports
plastic sweat beads on her brow and a big old
spare tire of belly fat to accompany her saggy
fanny.”
“Lesbian Barbie,” “xBox Barbie” and “Rehab
Barbie” are described in the same vulgar — and
hilarious — terms. But I would never have heard
of them if “Illegal Immigrant Barbie” hadn’t
infuriated the Hispanic blogosphere into losing
any sense of perspective and humor.
“Illegal Immigrant Barbie is tethered to a
bunch of children and comes with a compass
and a coyote,” reads her description. “Her hair
is unkempt and her cheeks lack the rosy glow
of the 20th-century Barbies. She is armed with
wire cutters and sandwiches wrapped in tinfoi.
She clutches Ken’s phone number in the event
that she is detained by the Border Patrol.”
“Illegal Immigrant Barbie” is pregnant, sports
a black eye and is pictured with a shopping cart
full of multi-racial children (one of which looks
remarkably like North Korean Leader Kim Jong
Un) and two six-packs of Budweiser, several
packs of Marlboros, a bottle of Jack Daniels and
a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
Tasteless? Yes. Offensive? Sure — as offensive
as assuming that all lesbians wear “baggy dark
clothing and military-style boots.”
But is it racist?
That’s the charge among people with no sense
of humor.
A contributor at Latina.com — which features
jlZ_[`^e`]`\[]Xi\XjÇ-:iXqpNXpjkf>\kX
Bigger Butt” and a promo for “Latina’s Hot Papi
Search!” — called the piece racist and declared it
“not funny,” all the while agreeing it was satire.
The piece, written by Cristina Arreola, never
explained the race part since “Illegal Immigrant
Barbie” is tall, blond, blue-eyed and, in all ways
except the pregnant belly, Barbie-ish.
Who’s to say “Illegal Immigrant Barbie” isn’t
Polish or Estonian? (Not all illegal immigrants
are Hispanic or Latino.) Or are we to believe
that Josselyn is prejudiced against white people?
Arreola wrote: “All six entries bleed with
ignorance and intolerance. However, the ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Barbie takes the stupidity to an
entirely new level.”
True.
Then again, overreacting to something silly and smearing its creator for it — Arreola
dropped this little nugget on Josselyn: “Racism
makes you die earlier. Just saying.” — arguably
takes intolerance to a whole
new level as well.
But overreaction seems to
be our default mode these
days.
The “all-white Oscars”
complaint is overblown.
Those who believe we need
more movies that include
actors with ethnicities and
races that are representative of our diverse population aren’t doing their
cause justice by jumping on
this bandwagon.
Just look at the Best Picture nominees.
“Selma” obviously has a diverse cast, but “Whiplash” also features Asian, East Asian and AfricanAmerican actors. Not only was “Birdman” directed
by Alejandro González Inarritu, a Mexican director, but is also features a score by Mexican-born
drummer/composer Antonio Sanchez.
Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel”
features two magnificent actors in the co-starring role of “Zero”: Guatemalan-American Tony
Revolori and Assyrian-American F. Murray
Abraham.
Yes it would be wonderful, if by some miracle,
the nominees and winners of all awards given in
the United States were not only based solely on
merit and outstanding excellence but were also
\oXZkcp-*g\iZ\ekn_`k\#(.g\iZ\ek?`jgXe`Z#(*
percent black, 5 percent Asian and about 1 percent Native American or Pacific Islander.
But alleging that an awards show is racist
because it’s not delivering on a social justice
ideal is hardly constructive.
Those who are intolerant of everything that
rubs them the wrong way and resort to the most
inflammatory slur modern America has to offer
— “racist” — only make matters worse.
Let’s save the heavy artillery of accusing racism for the most pressing issues that affect real
people daily. Lord knows we have plenty of
those to deal with.

Animals should be
cared for as humans
Compromise can lower
family standards
Dear Editor:
I think Blount County should
have a law that says if you treat
your animals poorly you should
be treated the same way. If
you tie them and don’t feed or
water and keep their surroundings clean, you should be tied
on a leash, not feed or watered
for days. Wonder how long that
would last?
Thanks,
Dear Editor:
In response to the article
on voting for beer sales on
Sunday in Friendsville: Revelations 2:4: Nevertheless I
have somewhat against thee
because thou hast left thy first
love.
This scripture was written to
the church in Ephesus.
In our world today, it is
popular to be open-minded
toward many types of sin,
Iva Christopher calling them personal choic206 Rockford Cedar St. es or alternative lifestyles.
Rockford, TN 37853 But when the body of believ-
ers begins to tolerate sin in
the community (churches),
they are lowering their standards and compromising the
churches witness.
In trying to find a good
answer or solution, we must
be careful not to compromise. We must never lower
our family standards. Christians must begin standing for
what’s right in God’s eyes, not
man’s eyes. We should never compromise the truth of
God’s Word.
Thank You,
Randy Buchanan

Apple reports fiscal first-quarter
earnings today.
Wall Street anticipates that the
tech giant will report strong growth
in revenue for the quarter. Apple
has benefited from increased
sales of its iPhones of late, partly
due to excitement over the iPhone
6 and 6 Plus models that Apple
began selling in September.
Financial analysts will be listening
for an update on Apple’s mobile
payment system, which debuted in
October.

Mattel CEO resigns
The chairman and CEO of Mattel resigned after the company disclosed that its profit
fell 59 percent in the fourth quarter. Bryan Stockton will be replaced by longtime
board member Christopher Sinclair as chairman and interim CEO.
The maker of Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels cars has been struggling for
some time. To make matters worse, this past holiday season, Barbie
lost its top spot on the crucial holiday wish lists of girls to merchandise from the Disney hit “Frozen.”
Stockton became CEO in January 2012 and then was named
chairman a year later. Sinclair said in a statement from the
company that the Mattel board believed it was the right time for a
change in leadership to maximize the companys potential.

May 23 is the day it will all
become real for friends Brittany Pritchett, Jan Pendleton
and Robin and Phil Ross.
That’s the day they will
start their almost 2,200-mile
journey as thru-hikers along
the Appalachian Trail.
Pritchett and Robin Ross
are teachers at Friendsville
Elementary and Pendleton
works as a science lab teacher at Rockford Elementary.
School is out on May 21 and
they take off on the adventure of their lifetimes two
days later. Bill Ross is retired
from the military.
But this trip is about more
than four people pushing
themselves to their limits
and sharing stories when
they get back. This quartet
of friends is hiking with Haitian children on their hearts
and minds. They hope to
raise funds to build a school
in Haiti as they trek through
14 states and draw attention
to the needs there.

team got together to host a
fundraiser with the theme
“Just Breathe,” at Sycamore

also given out. Robin Ross
said there were close to 60

raised.
Pritchett shared a personal and inspirational story
of her diagnosis of a pulmonary embolism several
years ago and the problems
it caused her lungs. It took
several months for her to
recover.
“Not many people know
that about me because that
was when I was younger,”
she said. Now. 20 years later
I’m going to hike the AT and
my lungs are perfectly fine.”
It was just a great girls
night out, Pritchett said of
the Saturday event. It was
all about taking the time you
need to just enjoy life and
enjoy the things God has
given you, she said.

where they will enter the AT
and walk to its end in Maine,

amount of time it will take
is between 140 and 180 days.
The average is somewhere
around 150.
An article about this ultimate challenge appeared in

Woman feels no physical attraction for the man of her dreams
DEAR ABBY: I am considered to
be a quite attractive — easily
a nine or a 10 — professional
dancer here in Las Vegas. I
recently met a guy who has literally met almost all my dream
qualities for a life partner, husband and father of my future
children.
The problem is, I’m not
attracted to him. He’s not ugly;
he has symmetrical features,
straight teeth, nice skin and is
in pretty good shape, if a little
on the skinny side.
I have always dated muscular,
very fit men who get me excited at the sight of them, and I’m
wondering if there’s something
wrong with me because after
nine months I’m still struggling with his looks.
I feel like there is no sexual
chemistry.
But we have another kind
of chemistry because we get
along great, and he motivates
me to be a better person.
Am I shallow, or is the lack
of sexual chemistry a sign that
maintaining a successful longterm relationship won’t happen? — MISS PICKY IN LAS VEGAS
DEAR MISS PICKY: I’m not going
to call you shallow. Whether
lack of sexual chemistry is a
deal-breaker for you depends
upon how important sex is to
you.
From what you have told me,
looks are a primary factor in
what draws you to men. (It
would be interesting to know
how long the relationships you
described lasted.)
Bear in mind that men who
are Adonises can lose their
looks if they don’t consistently work at it — just as women
do. Much as we might wish it,
looks don’t always last forever.
That’s why, if you’re looking
for a long-term relationship,
it’s extremely important to
take into consideration qualities that will last.
DEAR ABBY: My 67-year-old
mother has vascular dementia
and breast cancer. In accordance
with her
living will
and many
conversations
we had
before the
dementia began,
we (Mom,
my sisters and
I) have
decided
to forgo
treatment. She has been widowed for 17 years; she watched
her husband — our father —
die from cancer. She lives in
an excellent health care facility that will provide her with
DEAR
ABBY
palliative care when the time
is right.
My question is, how do we
inform people (family and
friends) of her diagnosis and
of our treatment plan? Without knowing the whole story,
without having seen her very
recently, it seems everyone
has an opinion on what we
“should” do. How do we tell
these people that, while we
appreciate their concern, this
is her decision without hurting
their feelings and our relationships? — FAMILY WITH A DILEMMA
DEAR DILEMMA: How do these
unwanted advice givers know
that you do not plan to subject your mother to treatments
that would only prolong her
decline? If you solicited their
opinion, you made a mistake.
If you didn’t, then the last sentence of your letter — if said
kindly — is an appropriate way
to phrase the message.
Students excited about new school opening
T
he students at Alcoa
Middle School are
into their fourth
week back from Christmas break.
Everyone is of course
excited about the new
high school, which is
almost finished with
construction. Tours are
being given every other
Wednesday. The next
one will be on Feb. 4th.
Eighth-grader Connor
McMurray says, “I think
it’s great. I like seeing a
small school like Alcoa
upgrading its facilities
while still being able
to maintain that ‘small
school’ kind of feel.
“It will give kids the
chance to achieve their
ALCOA
MIDDLE
SCHOOL
JOHANNAH BAY
full academic potential.”
The lunch room is
planning on having an
outdoor dining area. Dr.
Brian Bell, director of
Alcoa City Schools, will
be leading the tours,
which are open to the
public.
Also new at Alcoa Middle School is the RTI
schedule that all the students have begun having
every morning.
This semester, teachers and students began
using RTI (Response to
Intervention), which is
an approach that “incorporates increasing
intensities of instruction offering specific,
research-based interventions matched to student
needs,” according to the
RTI Action Network.
There are RTI classes
for science, math and
reading at Alcoa. Every
morning from 8:10-8:40,
students from all four
grades go to their specific RTI classes.
One class is made up
of the top 10 readers
from each grade. The
rest have only students
from a particular grade.
Every five weeks or so
the classes will switch,
allowing the students to
participate in each subject.
One class just finished reading the book
“Paperboy” by local
Louisville author Vince
Vawter. The students
have been enjoying this
new class.
YLB students tour DENSO, Clayton Homes
A
s the New Year
begins, so do new
opportunities,
experiences and adventures. With the theme
“Career Exploration,”
the 2015 class of Youth
Leadership Blount visited and toured the Tennessee DENSO Manufacturing plant and the
Clayton Homes corporate offices.
Touring DENSO, students experienced the
day of an engineer and
the marvels that DENSO
manufactures and creates.
Although the vocabulary and creations of
the engineers were perplexing and incomprehensible to most, students understood that
accuracy and precision
go hand-in-hand at the
DENSO facility.
After touring the manufacturing facility, YLB

members learned how
to execute a good interview.
Following the lesson,
students lined up and
experienced a mock
interview with an interviewing team consisting
of human resource professionals from DEN-
SO and the community. Recruiting officers
and leaders at DENSO
gave advice on an ideal
employee.
Leadership, passion for
the position and being
able to collaborate were
repeatedly expressed
qualities of an effective
employee.
After learning these
valuable lessons, students headed to Clayton Homes corporate
offices.
In the conference
room, former Youth
Leadership Blount class
member and Zone 4
Relations Manager at
Clayton Homes, Will
Hammon, spoke to the
class about finance and
leadership.
He articulated good
points about identifying
individual weaknesses
as an employee and considering future careers,
but the idea stressed the
most was making one’s
job or career his or her
passion.
After the lesson, a tour
was given.
After hearing multiple workers in various
departments recount
their experiences with
the company, students
learned that most of
these workers were genuinely happy with their
job,
To some, it had not
only became their
career, but also their
passion. This experience became evidence
to Hammon’s main
point.
Learning all these
valuable lessons
through DENSO and
Clayton Homes opened
new doors for opportunities, experiences and
adventures in 2015 and
beyond.

ixteen Alcoa students are advancing
to HOSA state after
competing at regionals
at Cleveland State earlier this month.
HOSA (Health Occupation Students of
America) is an organization for future health
professionals.
Preceding the regional round, students are
required to take a 100
question exam covering
competition material —
topics such as anatomy
or first aid—to determine if they are eligible
for the next round.
At regionals, students
perform a skills portion
to demonstrate/execute
the knowledge they’ve
acquired.
This round could be
an EMS simulation or a
trivia contest, and the
top five qualifiers in
each category advance
to state.
The Alcoa state qualifiers are as follows: Alec
Ferguson, Robinson
Walsh, Austin Atchley,
Hunter Thomas, Jeremy
Shore, Michaela Salley,
Jada Jackson, Jocelyn
Taylor, Alexis Ferguson,
Kati Townsend, Han-
nah Vititoe, Tori Ogle,
Kylie Winchester, Malia
Ferguson, Natalie Beaty
and Mason McClannahan.
The Alcoa HOSA club,
taught by Julie Bell,
learns basic health skills
to use in health careers,
as well as responses to
emergency situations.
In addition, they learn
how to be positive influences in the community
by creating a safer atmosphere for all.
The state HOSA competition is March 19-21
at the Opryland Hotel in
Nashville.

Clayton-Bradley JOURNEY:
Academy to begin Some days,
new building projects hikers may
be walking
20 miles
C
layton-Bradley Academy looks forward
to two new building projects. A new playground will be built for
the lower school. Another building will also be
assembled on campus. It
will connect to the multipurpose building and
classrooms using a system of sidewalks. It is
to be placed in a large
green space surrounded
by existing classrooms
and parking areas. The
building’s layout includes
a two-story structure
containing a new gymnasium, art room, science
lab, cafe, music room,
classrooms and a student
common area. The second floor student common area will contain a
cutout in the floor so students can see to the floor
below.
The children at Clayton-Bradley use a large
green area between
classrooms to play and
take breaks on. Because
the new multipurpose
building will take up the
green space between the
classrooms, the school
intends to create a new
play area. The current
Clayton-Bradley plans
for the playground consist of a main playground.
The playground will have

two slides, a swing set,
a revolving tire swing, a
small shaded area, several picnic benches to sit
and eat on and a hardtop
area with benches.
Clayton-Bradley Academy adjust the plans for
the new structures until
the board approves of
the given designs. The
construction of the playground and multipurpose
building will begin in
April and be finished for
use by the start of next
school year. Freshmen
and sophomore students
of next year will attend
classes in that part of the
school. A new cafe for
upper school is also in
the plans.

They have a website,
www.atforhaiti.org,
where they will provide
updates on their progress and where those
interested can make a
donation toward their
goal of providing a better future for children
in Haiti. Robin Ross said
they will probably be
planning more fundraisers, like a chili supper,
in the near future.
“There were a lot of
people interested in
this one that didn’t get
to come so I might do
another art one,” Pritchett said.

Their trail names have
been picked out, except
for Pendleton. Phil is
Philamanjaro, while
Robin is Popsicle. Pritchett has chosen Starshine.
Pearl, Pendleton’s dog,
will go by Cat Herder.
Pendleton said a name

once she gets on the
trail.
Haiti came onto the
radar back in 2010
when an earthquake
struck, killing more than
100,000 people.
There are thousands of
children without parents

not met, these four state
on their website.

What will give them
the strength to push
through is the difference that can be made
in Haiti, one of the poorest nations in the northern hemisphere. People
in Haiti have to walk
20 miles for water, they
said. Those long days
will be these hikers’
‘water days.’
This is a trip they all
know will change their
lives forever. As Pritchett said in the initial

Their fundraising goal
is $40,000. All of them
believe it’s attainable.
The mothers and
daughters who came Saturday to have fun and
learn more about the
trek are now onboard
with the cause. Word is
spreading about this lifechanger.
“People were really
motivated after that

PLAYTIME
BOBBY WATSON AT THE SQUARE
ROOM: Say this for Blount
County boy Vance Thompson and his group, the
Knoxville Jazz Orchestra:
They’ve got some talented
friends. At 8 tonight, the
KJO will welcome alto sax
player Bobby Watson to
Knoxville for “An Evening
with Bobby Watson,” and
his resume speaks for itself:
“A native of Kansas City,
Kansas, alto saxophonist Bobby Watson came
to prominence in the late
1970s as musical director of Art Blakey’s Jazz
Messengers (a band that
would come to include
Knoxville jazz virtuoso
Donald Brown). In addition to being a tremendous
instrumentalist, Watson is
widely recognized as one of
the great composers of his
generation and brings with
him a wealth of terrific
music for big band, including excerpts from his ‘Gates
Barbeque Suite.’ This piece
was touted by The Wall
Street Journal as ‘the most
Kansas City specific work of
Watson’s career and a worthy companion to Benny
Carter’s “Kansas City Suite”
written for Count Basie.’”
Tonight’s performance
takes place at The Square
Room, 4 Market Square
in downtown Knoxville.

UTC ‘felt like

BY DARGAN SOUTHARD
dargansouthard@thedailytimes.com
Before the countless
rumbles to the end zone,
before the staggering
stat lines that bordered
football insanity, before
any of his passion-filled,
emotionally charged postgame statements that soon
became his trademark of
sorts, Jaquez Tyson made
his mother a promise.
When it came time to
discuss financial options
for college, she wouldn’t
have to open a pocketbook, wouldn’t have to put
ink to a check, wouldn’t
have to swipe any sort of
plastic.
Tyson — despite still
being well absorbed in his
youth — decided he would
take care of it all.
“I told my mom as a little
kid that she wasn’t going
to pay for anything (college related),” Tyson told
The Daily Times, “and
I’m keeping my word with
that.”
On Sunday morning, the
Alcoa running back and

made that promise official as he announced his
commitment to Chattanooga, joining Tornado
Nick Dean made sure the news
took center stage.
Just one day after the USA South
Athletic Conference released its
preseason coaches’ poll, which
ranked the Maryville College
baseball squad eighth out of
11 schools, the Fighting Scots’
starting shortstop and offensive
anchor hung the predictions up in
the team locker room for everyone to observe.
His reasoning was simple.
“That’s all we need,” Dean
told The Daily Times last week.
“That’s definitely motivation …
That’s what people think, and
they have no idea what we’re
capable of this year and how dif-

ferent this year is already.”
Over the past few months,
recent program alterations have
been handled internally. Breaking in a new head coach, dealing
with the loss of four full-time
starters and two primary hurlers from a season ago — as well
as trying to create the perfect
remedy for three straight losing years — all sat atop MC’s
offseason agenda.
But come Monday, any remaining kinks will be addressed with
another team in the opposing
dugout.
First up is Hiwassee, which
serves as the Fighting Scots’ season-opening foe in a 3 p.m. tilt
at Scotland Yard.
“We’re just excited to be able to
get out there and play somebody
in a different jersey,” said firstyear head coach Cody Church,
who was officially hired on June
30 after most recently spending
two years as a Tennessee Tech
assistant.
“Just getting our guys on the
field and see what happens.”

The reasoning behind
Tyson’s UTC affection
was rather simple.
“What really took me
over is the fact that it felt
like home,” said Tyson,
who held a scholarship
offer from the University
of the Cumberlands and
had drawn serious interest from Carson-Newman
and Maryville College as
well.
“I told myself that if it
didn’t really feel like home,
then I wasn’t going to have
a good time there, wasn’t
going to be a place that I
could study and excel in
school.”

Manning pondering
future with Broncos
BY ARNIE STAPLETON
AP Pro Football Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. —
As Peyton Manning considers whether to take the
gold watch or make one
more run at the silver trophy, there are many factors he’s weighing: age,
desire, vitality, security,
relationships.
General manager John
Elway said “the bottom
line is we want him back.”
So, he asked Manning not
to make up his mind until
next month after he’s had
time to process everything.
Back in September, Manning said he liked Tom
Brady’s “When I suck, I’ll
retire” quote.
“That’s a pretty good
rule,” Manning said on the
eve of a season that was
filled with fun (planning
his own prank after breaking Brett Favre’s touchdown record) and frustration (another first-round
flop in the playoffs after a
nagging thigh injury).
He’s surely ponder-
SEE BASEBALL, 4B
ing whether an 18th NFL
season would look more
like the first half of 2014,
when a sixth MVP award
seemed to await, or the
second half, when he
struggled to find rhythm
and receivers alike.
Although the sting of
that last loss — 24-13 to
the Colts — is sure to linger, NFL Network analyst
and Hall of Fame finalist Terrell Davis said he’s
sure Manning is looking
a lot deeper.
“My gut tells me that he
comes back,” Davis said.
“But if he comes back
just because he didn’t
want to go out like this,
I don’t know if that’s the
right reason. You come
back because you love the
game, you want to compete, you enjoy working
out, you enjoy going to
practice.”
Manning has a lot of
things to think about as
he ponders his future:

KNOXVILLE — More
than a decade has passed
since his last visit, but
Donnie Tyndall still can’t
forget the noise.
As an LSU assistant
from 1997-2001, he took
four separate trips to
Arkansas’ Bud Walton
Arena — a place Tyndall
pegged as one of the two
loudest places he’s ever
coached. Three times, he
left in defeat, meaning
he’s heard plenty of the
classic “Woo Pig Sooie!”
chants that’s been nearly
a century-long staple of
Razorback athletics.
Now as Tennessee’s
first-year head coach,
Tyndall will revisit that
same setup tonight when
his Volunteers (12-6, 4-2
SEC) travel to Arkansas
(15-4, 4-2) — the orangeclad players looking for
their fourth straight conference road win.
“They get a little crazy in
there,” Tyndall said during Monday’s press luncheon. “It’s just, they love
basketball. Going back to
(former Arkansas head)
coach (Nolan) Richardson’s days, they’ve had
good teams, great players, and their home crowd
has always been very, very
good for them.”

TENNESSEE’S ARMANI MOORE (4) goes up for a loose ball during
the Vols’ 67-61 loss to Texas A&M Saturday at ThompsonBoling Arena
94 season, the Vols have
uncovered little success
there, regularly falling
victim to Arkansas’ consistent implementation of
press and speed.
In 10 matchups all-time,
UT is just 3-7, including
three losses by 15 points or
more. It’s most recent trek
to Fayetteville, Ark., generated similar results as
the Razorbacks ran away
with a 73-60 win on Feb.
2, 2013.
“When they make runs,
they start chanting and all
the things those fans do at
Arkansas,” Tyndall said.
“It’s gets pretty electric in
there. It’ll be tough.”
Tonight’s contest will
be the first conference
rematch for UT, which
upended the then-No. 19
Razorbacks, 74-69, on Jan.
13 in Knoxville. Honing in
on Arkansas sophomore
Bobby Portis quickly
became a primary task
— one the Vols’ found
manageable at first but
somewhat challenging
on the back end. With 10
minutes remaining, Portis
had just eight points. He
finished with 17.
But despite his current
title as the SEC’s leading
scorer, Portis’ nightly
point total isn’t the lead
bullet point on Tyndall’s
agenda.
“The biggest thing with
Bobby is keeping him off
the glass,” said Tyndall,
whose Vols allowed Portis
to grab 11 rebounds — five
offensive — in the January
matchup.
“He averages right

NASCAR keeps championship format for 2015
BY JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
NASCAR won’t change
its new championship format, which chairman Brian France said Monday is
“overwhelmingly popular”
with fans.
The Chase was revamped
last year into an elimination-style system that created a winner-take-all final
race among four drivers.
Kevin Harvick won the season finale at Homestead in
November to claim his first
Sprint Cup title.
France called it “perhaps
the best Chase ever” and
said the excitement will
carry into this season.
“It’s overwhelmingly popular with our most important stakeholder, the fans,”
France of the Chase during
the kickoff to the annual
NASCAR media tour.
“They (fans) like the fact
that it tightened up competition. They liked the
drama down the stretch.
They like the emphasis on
winning. And one of the
things they told us that
they really liked is the
idea that we weren’t going
to change anything. And
they strongly suggested
that we didn’t. And we’re
not going to.”
NASCAR first debuted
the Chase in 2004 and
tweaked it several times
in the first 10 years. But
it got a dramatic overhaul before the 2014 season, when the driver field
was expanded to 16 with
four eliminated after every
third Chase race.
The final four drivers
then went to Homestead
even in the standings, with
the highest finisher guaranteed the championship.
The system worked in creating an eventful finale in
which all four contenders
raced for the win.
France said he believed
the a simple formula that
did not require following
points — drivers made the
Chase by winning a race,
and advanced through the
rounds with wins — was
embraced by fans.
“One of the magical parts
of this Chase, and we want
to make sure we keep it
this way, is the simplicity
of it: Win and you’re in,”
said France.
One change coming into
2015 will be that NASCAR
will no longer permit
teams to alter their car’s
side skirts during a race.

BASEBALL COMMISSIONER ROB MANFRED speaks during a Jan. 15
news conference at the Major League Baseball owners meeting in Phoenix.
Manfred expects hits
at MLB commissioner
BY RONALD BLUM
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK — Rob
Manfred knows he’ll get
pounded now that he’s
baseball commissioner
— his name is printed in
blue script on the sweet
spot between the seams of
every big league ball.
“Probably good if I get
hit hard,” he said, smiling
and laughing, during an
interview with The Associated Press. “A little more
offense. We don’t have to
deal with that issue.”
Manfred’s desk on the
31st floor of baseball’s Park
Avenue offices was tidy
on Monday morning, the
first business day after he
succeeded Bud Selig and
started a five-year term
as commissioner. Having
worked for MLB since
1998 as an executive vice
president and then as chief
operating officer, he didn’t
have to move into a new
office.
The issues are piled up,
perhaps not physically, but
the to-do list is lengthy:
Oakland and Tampa Bay
want new ballparks; negotiations are ongoing with
players over pace of play
and domestic violence;
Baltimore and Washington
are fighting in court over
broadcast revenue; there is
widespread agreement initiatives must be undertaken to develop young fans
and players.
A pitch clock must be
considered and decreased
offense scrutinized along
with increased defensive
shifts.
Tighter balls? Shorter
fences? A lower mound?
Banning defensive shifts?
Perhaps they can be talked about in the future.
“I do think it’s important
for the game to continue to
modernize,” he said. “That
modernization has to proceed at a pace that allows
us to be very respectful of
the traditions of the game
and keeps us from making a hasty error, as they
say.”
He opened his regime
Sunday by releasing an
open letter to fans, promising development in
urban areas and increased
emphasis on partnering
with high school, college
and amateur ball.
He left his home early
on a snowy Monday and
took the commuter train
from Tarrytown to Grand
Central Terminal, as he
has most days since he
was hired by MLB after 11
years as an outside counsel with Morgan, Lewis &
Bockius.
Born Sept. 28, 1958, Manfred grew up in Rome, New
York, and is thought to be
the first commissioner to
have played Little League
Baseball. He started when
he was seven and quit when
he was 12 or 13 because it
conflicted with tennis.
“It was a painful and
not-particularly successful experience,” he said.
“I played some shortstop,
some second base.”
He attended his first big
league game on Aug. 10,
1968, sitting in the lower
deck between home plate
and first base at Yankee
Stadium for New York’s 3-2
loss to Minnesota. Mickey
Mantle went deep twice
in his last multihomer
game.
He wears conservative
suits and has a gap-toothed
smile and a receding hairline, looking every bit the
corporate lawyer he was.
His Cornell undergraduate
and Harvard Law School
diplomas are on the wall
behind his desk, to the
side of his computer. A
flat-screen television on
another wall broadcasts
sports news.
The contrast between
the 56-year-old Manfred
and the 80-year-old Selig
is clear. The longtime
Brewers owner ruled baseball from Milwaukee with
grandfatherly charm. Selig
claims to have never sent
an email during his 22-plus
years in charge.
BRIEFS
Vols’ coordinator search continues on road
Tennessee’s search for its next offensive coordinator continued Monday on the road, where head
coach Butch Jones is reportedly conducting interviews in the midst of recruiting trips.
With Mike DeBord still thought to be the frontrunner for the job, VolQuest.com reported Monday night that new candidates could be Boise State
offensive coordinator Mike Sanford and Southern
Cal offensive coordinator Clay Helton.
According to VolQuest, DeBord, an administrator of Olympic sports at Michigan and former head
coach at Central Michigan that Jones coached under,
could have NFL coaching options, but those could
be resolved by midweek.
Scots can’t hold on to 19-point lead
The Maryville College men’s basketball team built
a 19-point advantage just before halftime, but Methodist University rallied in the second half to drop
the Scots, 68-62, in a key USA South match up Monday night at Methodist.
The Scots (8-9, 3-3 USA South) jumped out to a
17-4 lead in the first six minutes of the game. Behind
Jaumonee Byrd’s 12 points and Spencer Shoffner’s 13
points, Maryville took a 42-26 lead into the break.
Methodist (7-10, 3-4) exploded with a 19-5 run to
begin the final period bringing the score to 47-45 in
the first ten minutes. A Tabias Hilliard three-pointer at 8:41 gave the Monarchs their first lead of the
game, 50-49.

TYNDALL: Depleted roster poses challenge
FROM 1B
around f ive offensive
rebounds a game in conference, which is maybe the
most amazing stat of anyone in our league. That’s a
heck of a stat.”
‘A TOUGH CALL’: Tyndall calls
it “the million-dollar question.”
With just 10 healthy scholarship players — only nine
of which have consistently
seen the floor — do you rest
guys more often during the
week and hope nobody loses their edge?
Or do you keep the practice
intensity high and take the
chance of having a fatigued
performance come tipoff?
“That’s a tough call,” Tyndall said. “I wrestle with
that.”
Leading up to last Saturday’s 67-61 loss to Texas
A&M, the first-year head
coach chose the former.
Tyndall said he gave his
team “basically two days
off” in preparation for the
Aggies, hoping the added
freshness would translate
into victory. Since it didn’t,
Tyndall’s future approach
on the issue remains in
question.
“You’ve just got to trust
your instincts and have a
good feel for your team,”
Tyndall said. “Let the assistants talk to the players
when I’m not around and
see how they’re feeling, and
then add it all up and make
a decision.”
MISSING MCGHEE: While
Tyndall continues to hint
that Jabari McGhee’s sea-
son is likely finished — the
freshman forward injured
his foot on Dec. 17 and
hasn’t played since — a
clearer update on the situation won’t arrive until “the
end of next week.”
To date, McGhee has
played in just eight contests, making him a likely
medical redshirt candidate if his injury doesn’t
improve.
“I really don’t want to
use that kid’s year unless
we have to,” Tyndall said
in regards to burning
the potential redshirt if
McGhee does return. “I
just think he’s going to be a
good player for us down the
road. As well as recruiting
is going right now, I’d just
like to probably save him as
we move forward.”

On the right road now
Vols finding success away from home in SEC play
BY STEVE MEGARGEE
SEC STANDINGS
AP Sports Writer
KNOXVILLE — Tennessee is finding life on the
road easier than the supposed comforts of home
thus far in Southeastern
Conference competition.
The Volunteers (12-6,
4-2 SEC) are undefeated
in SEC road games so far
but have won just one of
their first three home conference matchups. They’ll
put that perfect SEC road
record to the test Tuesday
at Arkansas (15-4, 4-2).
The last time Tennessee won its first four SEC
road games in a season was
1982, when the Vols went
on to finish tied for first
in the conference.
“The last couple of games
— two of the three at least
— we’ve almost played a
little bit more nervous in
front of our home crowd
than we have on the road,”
Tennessee coach Donnie Tyndall said. “I don’t
know if that’s purely coincidental or if guys do feel
a little more pressure at
home because all the fans
are here and they want to
do so well to keep them
coming out.”
Tennessee’s recent home
struggles are unusual for a
Tyndall-coached team.
Tyndall headed into
SEC competition having
gone 34-1 in regular-season home games since the
start of the 2012-13 season.
That included a 27-1 record
in two seasons at Southern Mississippi and a 7-0
mark in Tennessee’s nonconference schedule this
season.
Although Tyndall was
careful to say he doesn’t
know whether his players

he acknowledges that’s
something he wonders.
“That’s a question I ask
myself and ask our staff,”
Tyndall said. “I’m not one
of those guys where we lose
one and all of a sudden I’ve
got 20 different excuses.
That’s not what I’m about,
and I don’t want to make
it sound that way. I just
think that maybe because
we are at home and they
want to play so well for
our home fans, they play a
little bit tight, if you will. I
don’t know that that’s the
case.”
In its three conference
home games, Tennessee
lost 56-38 to Alabama in,
beat Arkansas 74-69 and
lost 67-61 to Texas A&M.
In three SEC road games,
Tennessee beat Mississippi State 61-47, Missouri
59-51 and South Carolina
66-62.
Tennessee has shot 45.1
percent (23 of 51) from
3-point range in its three
SEC road games.
“We just play together
when are on the road,”
sophomore guard Robert
Hubbs said. “We know it’s
going to be tough each and
every night when we go on
the road, so we just have
to play together.”
The level of competition
probably has made a difference. Tennessee’s three
SEC road foes - Mississippi
State, Missouri and South
Carolina - have a combined
conference record of 4-14.
The three SEC teams Tennessee has hosted - Arkansas, Texas A&M and Alabama - are a combined 11-7
in league play.
Tennessee faces its
toughest conference road
test Tuesday at Arkansas,
which owns a 62-7 home
record since Mike Anderson took over as coach in
2011. Tyndall remembers
the raucous atmosphere
of Arkansas’ Bud Walton
Arena from his years as
an LSU assistant.
“We played at Arizona
a couple of years ago,”
Tyndall said in a reference to his Southern Mississippi tenure. “Those
two places in my opinion
were the loudest two places I’ve ever (coached) in.
I’m sure it will be another
very crazy atmosphere on
Tuesday.”

But Virginia had to rally

email. “Would have to say
the same about the Cavs
after a tight game against

BASEBALL: Dean decides to
play final year for Scots
FROM 1B
senior Dean, who surprised
many when he opted to
return for his final year of
eligibility. Following his
graduation last May, the
reigning USAC player of
the year admitted he had
thoughts of calling it a
career.
Baseball had been good to
him, but maybe it was time
for something else.
As the summer weeks
drifted by, that mindset
ultimately shifted. Having
already received his diploma, Dean, who batted .401
with three homers and 29
RBI in 2014, was somewhat
of a free agent. He could
try to find another home
— possibly even a Division
I institution — or he could
return to MC for one final
shot at the postseason.
With just a handful of
weeks remaining until
the start of the fall semester, no decision had been
finalized.
Larger schools showed
interest. Dean eventually
chose otherwise.
“With the new changes,
the new coach and the guys
coming back this year, my
goal is to do whatever it
takes to get our team to win
the conference and get a
bid to go to regional and
ultimately go to a World
Series,” Dean said.
“That’s really what I came
back for.”
Although not initially
sold on pushing his baseball career one year further, Dean’s decision to do
so may extend his playing
days even longer. After having draft conversations with
a handful of MLB teams,
including the Chicago Cubs
and Boston Red Sox, Dean
said he was “really close” to
being drafted last year.
Nothing ever materialized, but another breakout
season could potentially
change that.
“There’s no question in
my mind,” Church said
when asked if Dean has a
future in professional baseball. “I look at a five-tool
guy. I don’t know what he
can’t do. He can run. He can
hit for average. He can hit
for power. He can defend.
He’s got the arm strength.
I don’t know what tool
he’s lacking. I’m surprised
somebody didn’t give him
an opportunity this past
year to be honest.
“At the end of the day, a
lot of it comes down to the
team’s success. A team’s
got to be successful for
some guys to get a shot at
professional baseball.”
‘WINNING
THE WHOLE THING’
A helping hand in trying
to generate that success is
junior first baseman Zack
Blonder, who’ll likely hit
behind Dean in either the
four- or five-hole. In 2014,
the former USAC Rookie of the Year batted .293
and drove in a team-high
33 RBI, all while starting 36
of MC’s 38 contests.
Blonder will make up
a quarter of the Fighting
Scots’ upperclassmendominated infield, which
also consists of Dean,
senior corner-infielderturned-second-baseman
John Andrew McDermott
and either junior Chris Evrin or redshirt junior Jesse
Crisp at the hot corner.
Ervin arrives in Maryville
‘I look at a
five-tool guy.
I don’t know what
he can’t do. He
can run. He can hit
for average. He
can hit for power.
He can defend. ’
Cody Church
MC coach, about senior
Nick Dean
after spending two seasons
spent at Alabama Southern
Community College, while
Crisp — a 2011 William
Blount High School graduate — makes his return
to the diamond following
a one-year reprieve.
“This is my third season,
and this is the best team I’ve
seen here,” Blonder said.
“So we’re capable of winning the whole thing.”
On the mound, MC is now
without departed graduates Matt Dyer and Trevor Brackett, who tossed a
combined 125 1/3 innings
and owned the Fighting
Scots’ second- and thirdlowest ERA respectively
last year. In their final collegiate campaigns, Dyer
racked up a team-high four
saves, while Brackett led
MC in both starts (11) and
wins (5).
Those absences mean a
large portion of the mound
responsibilities will fall on
the shoulders of sophomore
hurler Seth Debity, who
tossed 58 innings, made
10 starts and generated a
3-4 record in his freshman
season.
“He’s a guy that’s had a
lot of college experience,
a lot of weekend starting
experience, and he’s just
steady,” Church said. “You
know what you’re going to
get with Debity out there,
and he’s going to give you
a chance to win every time
he’s on the mound. So I
think that’s the direction
we’d go right now.”
DIFFERENT
DIRECTION
As far as the team’s overall
direction, that’s still to be
determined under Church’s
guidance. The former Seymour High School standout is MC’s third different
coach in the last five years
and is now tasked with
rebooting a program that
finished eighth in conference a season ago.
That last fact is why
Church wasn’t surprised
to see his team slotted
near the bottom of the preseason poll. In fact, he said
he “expected” it.
But that’s where all concern stops. Like his star
player, Church isn’t buying
stock in outside opinion.
“Ferrum was picked to
finish eighth last year, and
that shows how much that
means because Ferrum was
a co-champion last year,”
Church said. “Preseason
is exactly what it is. When
I was at Tennessee Tech,
we were picked to finish
eighth my first year, and
that team went on to win
the conference.
“Preseason honors are
great and all that, but that
doesn’t really have a lot of
validation.”

Predators eager to build on franchise-best start
BY TERESA M. WALKER

AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE — The Nashville
Predators are back at work ready
to prove the best start in franchise
history is no fluke, even with goaltender Pekka Rinne still sidelined.
And they want a fast start coming
off the All-Star break.
“It’s very critical,” forward James
Neal said Monday. “I think everyone’s got the same mindset coming
back from the break. We want to gain
ground, and you want to make up
as many points as you can. ... We’ve
got to be ready here, and ... I think
everyone just kind of recharged,
really got their energy back and
ready to go.”
Well, not everyone got to rest over
the long All-Star weekend.
Coach Peter Laviolette and his
assistants worked the game and
got the win with Team Toews in
Columbus along with defenseman
Shea Weber, who won the hardest
shot competition with a 108.5 mph
blast, and rookie Filip Forsberg who
scored the first goals by a Predator
in an All-Star game.
At the All-Star break, the Predators
lead the NHL with a .722 winning
percentage. Anaheim has a leaguebest 68 points — three ahead of
Nashville, which has two games in
Predators vs. Colorado Avalanche

hand on the Ducks. Nashville (30-105) has gotten at least a point in 11 of
the last 12 games going into the break
and also lead the Central Division at
12-3-2, matching the wins they got in
the division all last season.
Laviolette tried to help his Predators get back up to speed Monday
by pushing them through practice
and drills quickly.
“It gets harder and harder,” Laviolette said. “The more is at stake
as the season winds on here. The
teams always will be fighting for
something now. The playoffs, once
you get through January and reach
the halfway point of February, it
starts to really narrow in on the playoff picture and what’s happening
around the league. So it doesn’t get
any easier than that.”
Rinne skated Monday, but the
league’s top winning goalie’s return
from an injured knee remains
unchanged. He hurt his knee Jan. 13
and still is expected to miss between
three and five weeks. The Predators
managed three points in three games
without him before the break.

Williams sisters join Aussie final eight
The Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia — Fireworks lit up
the sky above Rod Laver
Arena the moment Venus
Williams completed her
fourth-round win at the
Australian Open on Monday night.
It’s been that kind of
tournament so far for the
34-year-old, seven-time
Grand Slam winner. Williams advanced to her first
quarterfinal in a major
since Wimbledon in 2010
and she’ll be joined by her
younger sister, Serena, in
the final eight.

Venus will next face Madison Keys, a 19-year-old
American who was inspired
to play tennis by watching
the Williams sisters.
“It’s definitely been an
experience, really playing
well, kind of living up to
what people have been saying,” Keys said. “I’m just
really happy that it’s finally
here and that I’m doing so
well.”
Serena Williams had a 2-6,
6-3, 6-2 win over Garbine
Muguruza, motivated by a
loss to the Spanish player at
the 2014 French Open.
“She made me play a lot
better,” Serena Williams
said. “I had to play the
best match of the tournament or else I was going
to be out.”

with a 4-3 victory over Washington
on Jan. 16 and just missed a second
in a 2-1 overtime loss at Montreal
last week. Laviolette said Hutton
has given the Predators a chance to
win and thinks they will play hard
in front of the goaltender.
The Predators also recalled Marek
Mazanec from Milwaukee in the
AHL on Monday. Laviolette declined
to say whether Hutton or Mazanec
will be in net Tuesday night against
Colorado. Hutton is 1-4-3 this season.
“He definitely deserves better,”
center Mike Fisher said. “He’s played
some good games where we couldn’t
score in front of him. We know he’s
a good goaltender. We’ll focus on
what we need to do as a team no
matter who’s back there.”
Nashville currently leads the league
allowing only 2.24 goals per game
and ninth scoring an average of 2.96
goals per game.
The Predators take a seven-game
winning streak on home ice into
Tuesday night’s game, and another
win will tie the franchise record
set between Jan. 6 and Feb. 8, 2007.
Then Nashville hits the road for
three straight road games at St. Louis, Colorado and Pittsburgh as part
of a tough stretch of four games in

Let the insanity begin
Outrageous the norm at Super Bowl Media Day
BY ROB MAADDI
AP Pro Football Writer
PHOENIX — Tom Brady already
had a child with actress Bridget Moynahan and was dating supermodel
Gisele Bundchen when a Mexican
television personality created one
of the wildest moments in Media
Day history here in Arizona before
the 2008 Super Bowl.
Ines Gomez Mont, a reporter for
TV Azteca, showed up wearing a
white wedding dress and veil and
proposed to Brady, who was trying to
lead the New England Patriots to the
first 19-0 season in NFL history.
“Tom, I’m in love with you! Will
you marry me please?” the immodest
brunette shouted from the crowd.
“I’m the real Miss Brady.”
Brady politely declined her proposal, saying: “I’ve got a few Miss
Bradys in my life. I’m a one-woman
man. But you’re beautiful. Anybody
who would have the opportunity to
marry you would be a lucky man.”
Maybe Gomez Mont put a hex on
Brady. The Patriots lost to the New
York Giants to ruin their perfect season. They lost again to the Giants in
the Super Bowl four years later.
Outrageous scenes like this have
become the norm at the Media Day
extravaganza. The event is a circus.
More than 5,500 journalists, pseudojournalists and other credentialed
“media” are expected to gather for
Tuesday’s celebration at the US Airways Center.
Last year in New York, an Austrian
man dressed as Mozart, another guy
wore a Waldo costume, Nickelodeon’s Pick Boy was in the house and
Michelle Williams, former Destiny’s
Child singer, asked players to sing.
At least both teams are quite familiar with the silliness.
The Seahawks played along nicely
with the odd requests last year. A
man asked Seahawks center Max
Unger if he could touch his long,
scruffy beard. He said yes. A woman asked Seahawks defensive lineman Brandon Mebane for a kiss. He
politely declined.
Richard Sherman drew the largest crowd and he spoke for an hour.
Marshawn Lynch predictably walked
out and spoke only to NFL Network’s
Deion Sanders.
All eyes will be on both players
Tuesday, but it’s usually a non-player
who steals the spotlight.
Here’s a list of the wildest moments
in Super Bowl Media Day history:
VOODOO: St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner was outspoken
about his Christian faith, but that
didn’t stop someone from making
an unusual request in Atlanta in
2000.
“Do you believe in voodoo, and
can I have a lock of your hair?” Warner was asked. His response was a
simple, polite “No.”
The Rams beat the Tennessee
Titans 23-16 and Warner was MVP.

D3 WOMEN’S TOP 25
The Maryville College
Scots used a stingy defense
in the final 10 minutes, as
well as a career-high 16
points from Rachel Hawn
to overcome an 11-point
deficit and continue their
15-game winning streak.
A flurry of Maryville
turnovers gave Methodist (2-12, 2-6 USA South)
an opening, as the Monarchs took advantage for
a 46-35 lead with just over
six minutes remaining in
the game.
Over the next six minutes, though, Scots coach
Darrin Travillian turned up
his team’s defensive effort
after a timeout. Behind the
team’s full-court press, the
Scots rallied for an 18-2
run over to close the contest — holding Methodist
scoreless over the final 4:39
to secure the 53-48 USA
South win.
“I’m so proud of my girls
tonight,” Travillian said in a
press release. “We dug ourselves a hole, but we kept
digging in and believing.
We finally applied enough
pressure to turn the game
around in the closing minutes.”
Mindy Brackins came
alive during the comeback
surge for Maryville (16-1,
8-0), scoring eight of the
Scots’ 18 points. She went
3-of-3 from the free-throw
strip, hit a 3-pointer and
converted an old-fashioned
3-point play.
Lauren Trent and Alex
Bond each converted on
long-range shots, while
Bond and Hawn netted layups. Jordan Ballard also tallied three charity tosses in
the final run.
The come-from-behind
victory continues the
Scots’ historic start, moving their record to 16-1.
That start ranks as the best
No. 23 MARYVILLE 53,
Methodist 48
in school history for the
women’s basketball team,
topping the 14-1 mark set
in 2012-13.
Maryville’s defense
stepped to the plate, on a
night the team could only
muster a 32.8 percent outing (20 of 61), while the
Scots could only convert
on 4-of-20 3-point field
goals (20 percent).
Maryville converted 9
of 10 free throws, two of
those coming from Ballard in the final two seconds, while the Monarchs
could only convert on 7 of
14 attempts.
Hawn led all scorers with
her career-high 16 points.
She added six rebounds to
her total, as well. Brackins totaled 14 points for
Maryville, while Linley
Dunn tallied eight.
Bond had five points, six
rebounds and two assists,
while Ballard had three
points, three steals, two
rebounds, two assists and
two blocks. Trent added
three points of her own,
with three rebounds, three
assists and two steals.
Mackenzie Puckett and
Joanna Young each added
two points.
For Methodist, it was
Sydney Bryan that led the
way with 10 points. Jalisa
Campbell pulled down 11
rebounds to go with her
seven points off the bench,
while Jasmine Canaday and
Bryan each tallied three
blocks.
Maryville advanced to

the win, leading the conference’s South Division
rankings. MC will travel

TYSON: Heritage game convinced UTC to begin process work magic for Griz
FROM 1B
fullback, Tyson officially
visited the Mocs this past
weekend, soaking up all
that both the city and campus had to offer.
The sights, however, were
quite familiar.
“Taharin, I made sure he
was with me the whole
weekend, and with him
being there four years
before me, I had already
known the players pretty
well because I’d go down
there some and stay with
them,” Tyson said. “It was
just really like another
Alcoa team.”
After leading the Tor-
nadoes to a state title in
his junior season, Tyson
ripped through the initial
part of his senior campaign
with authority, rumbling
for more than 700 yards
and 12 touchdowns through
Alcoa’s first five games.
It was the following week
— just days prior to the Tornadoes’ Sept. 26 showdown
with Heritage — that UTC
first began to take a liking
to the 5-foot-10, 210-pound
running back.
“(UTC wide receivers)
coach Will Healy, my recruiter, he came to (Alcoa) that
week,” Tyson said. “He told
me he’d be back to watch me
that Friday.”
Healy certainly got his
money’s worth.
On 33 carries, Tyson bulldozed his way to 276 yards
and five touchdowns, nearly single-handedly lifting
Alcoa to a 52-35 win over the
crosstown Mountaineers.
Healy had witnessed all
he needed. It was time to
inform the boss.
“After that,” Tyson said,
“(Healy) told (UTC head)
coach (Russ) Huesman that
he’d be crazy not to recruit
me after watching me play
in that game.”
From there, Tyson’s relationship with UTC only
strengthened. He visited
a handful of Mocs football
games — including their
Oct. 11 showdown in Knoxville — and took countless
trips down to Chattanooga
to visit his cousin.
Tyson even got a brief
taste of UTC’s Finley Stadium, where he carried a
career-high 50 times for
266 yards and three touchdowns en route to a 28-19
win over Notre Dame in the
Class 3A semifinals.
“We’ve kept the (Alcoa)
legacy going of just being
pretty good athletes,”
Tyson said. “That says a
lot about the people that
have come before us.
“They’ve showed us the
way, and we followed it.”
MANNING: Injuries late in season remain a big concern
FROM 1B
the perfect pair in Denver.
Two mad scientists who
liked to floor the highoctane offense. Now, Gase
is in Chicago with John
Fox, and Gary Kubiak is
the Broncos coach and Rick
Dennison his top offensive
assistant.
Although Kubiak’s West
Coast offense doesn’t at
first glance seem to jibe
with Manning’s improvisational style, Kubiak said it’s
“easy to build a playbook
for him.”
Sure, he’s going to be 39,
Kubiak said, “but he threw
35 touchdowns last year.”
Thirty-nine, actually.
“Thirty-nine? Look what
he continues to do. The
offense Peyton runs, he’s
tremendous at it, back
there in the gun controlling the game, controlling
the line of scrimmage.
Nobody has ever done it
better and he’s the master
at it,” Kubiak said.
BETTER PROTECTION: Manning paid a big price for
Denver’s trouble-filled
offensive line, and Elway
said he’ll fix it this offseason.
Two starters — center
Will Montgomery and left
guard Orlando Franklin —
are among Denver’s dozen
unrestricted free agents.
The other starters: Ryan
Clady, Louis Vasquez and
Manny Ramirez will be
trying to recapture their
old form after substandard
seasons.
AGE OR INJURY: Was that
fizzling finish an omen
or an aberration? Even
if Manning determines
it was health, not age, to
blame, he has to decide
if he’s willing to put his
body and mind through
the grind of another season.
“I could see Peyton going
both ways,” Davis said.
“There’s no guarantee that
if Peyton comes back he’s
going to be in any better
situation.”
But the reality is that’s
not how most of us leave
this game.
“And so, that’s really the
question that only Peyton
can answer: How does he
feel right now? And not
right now, give him about
a month or so and get away
from this stuff, detox and
heal up.”
Patriots owner stands up for team, coach
The Associated Press
CHANDLER, Ariz.
— New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft
demanded an apology
from the league once the
Patriots are found to be
not guilty of breaking
any rules regarding using
under-inflated footballs
in the AFC championship
game.
A conclusion Kraft is
certain will occur.
“I believe unconditionally that the New England
Patriots did nothing wrong
in this process that was in
violation of NFL rules,”
Kraft said at the team’s
first media availability in
Arizona.
“If the (Ted) Wells investigation is not able to definitively determine that our
organization tampered
with the air pressure in the
footballs, I would expect
and hope the league would
apologize to our entire
team, and in particular
to coach (Bill) Belichick
and Tom Brady, for what
they’ve had to endure this
week,” Kraft added.

FINAL
MEMPHIS 103, Orlando 94
MEMPHIS — Zach Randolph had 24 points and 10
rebounds, Marc Gasol added 16 points and 10 boards,
and the Memphis Grizzlies
beat the Orlando Magic 10394 on Monday night.
Beno Udrih added 15
points and Jeff Green finished with 12. Randolph
also had six assists for
Memphis, which won its
third straight.
Orlando, which dropped
its sixth in a row, got 18
points and 12 rebounds from
Nikola Vucevic. Victor Oladipo also had 18 points and
Elfrid Payton had 12 points
and six assists, but shot 5 of
14 from the field. Dewayne
Dedmon had 10 points and
10 rebounds.
Memphis led by as many
as 20 and held a doubledigit advantage through
much of the game. Both
teams shot 47 percent for
the game.
Memphis seemed in control in the fourth, still holding the double-digit lead
it had since the midway
point of the second quarter. Orlando cut it to 101-91,
thwarting Memphis coach
Dave Joerger’s plan to rest
most of his starters for the
bulk of the final period.
Inserting a couple of
starters was enough to
send Memphis to its eighth
straight win over the Magic, who outscored the Grizzlies 21-14 in the fourth.
By halftime, Memphis
already was ahead 67-48,
the Grizzlies’ highest point
total for a half this season.
Randolph had 18 points and
Gasol 10 as Memphis shot
just under 60 percent.
The shooting and only six
turnovers allowed Memphis to take the lead to 20
in the first half.
Meanwhile, Orlando
shot 47 percent with Payton missing seven of his 10
shots in the half.
TIP-INS: Magic — The sixgame losing streak matches
Orlando’s longest slide of
the season. .Vucevic has 27
double-doubles this season.
Orlando reserve Tobias
Harris finished with eight
points, marking only the
second time in 41 games.

“Your honor,” the District Attorney
stated, “we will prove that South
committed a felony in that he booted
a cold game.”
“Proceed,” the judge instructed,
and the court kibitzed the evidence.
“Against four spades,” the DA said,
“West led a trump. Declarer won in
dummy and led a heart to his king,
and West took the ace and led a
second trump. South won that and led
a second heart, but East won and led
a third trump, removing dummy’s
last trump. Then declarer’s third heart
was a loser, and he also lost a club.”
overcalls one spade. What do you
say?
ANSWER: This is a problem that
negative doubles were devised to
handle. You hold enough values to act
but have no appropriate bid at the two
level. A double, by agreement, shows
length in hearts plus either diamonds
or club support. But if your opponent
had jumped to two spades, your hand
would be too weak to act.

“It is our contention,” the DA went
on, “that South should play his nine
on the first heart. West wins with the
ten and leads a second trump, and
South wins in dummy and leads a
heart to his king. When West wins, he
has no trumps left, and South ruffs
his last heart in dummy.”

HOROSCOPE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015:
This year you have an unusual
opportunity to go for what you
want, especially in your personal
life. You are also likely to change
residences or remodel your home.
Typically you back away from
major changes, but the next 12
months will change your perspective on many things.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★★ You might be overthinking an investment or an interaction
with a higher-up, so much so that
an obsessive quality could emerge.
Consider taking a walk or joining a
friend for a leisurely lunch.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★★★ Be willing to push
back if someone tries to run an
idea or plans over you. This person
can be extremely domineering. You
might wonder when to put a halt
to this behavior.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★ You could be taken aback
by how demanding a key person
in your life might be. You’ll wonder what is going on, but it would
be best to neutralize the situation
for now.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★★ You might want to distance yourself from a difficult person. Try to do some research and
investigate a situation involving
both of you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ You might sense that it is
time for a change in your daily life.
The area you’ll opt to transform
could be your health, your routine
or a new hobby.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★ Allow your creativity to
open you up to a new approach in
your life. You will have more confidence than you have had in years.
If you feel scattered, stop and refocus as well as prioritize.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★ You have a tendency to
be too serious at times. When you
feel cornered by an aggressive
associate or loved one, you might
add a lot of chaos to what could
be simple.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★ You might want to loosen up and rethink a decision, especially if a close associate or loved
one chooses to challenge you. Ask
yourself when it would be appropriate to step back and say “no.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★ Pace yourself, and get
as much done as possible. Someone you care a lot about could be
very distracting. Make more time
to be with this person, and clear
out what is on your mind.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★ You could be overwhelmed by what is happening
between you and someone else.
Don’t back away, which probably is
what you usually do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★ You’ll open up new
doors through a long-overdue conversation. This important interaction might come out of a disruptive
situation. Both of you could be on
the defensive. Clear your head and
go for a walk. You will see the matter quite differently as a result.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★★ Share more of your
feelings with someone who cares a
lot about you. You might discover
that you are on target with an
important situation.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

McCain gives thumbs
up to ‘Sniper’ movie
WASHINGTON —
The chairman of the
Senate Armed Services
Committee says critics
of U.S. foreign policy
are disparaging
the movie
“American
Sniper”
and deniJohn
grating the
McCain
memory
of Chris
Kyle, the
U.S. serviceman depicted in the film.
In a statement Monday, Sen. John McCain
congratulated director
Clint Eastwood and
the cast and crew of the
movie for honoring the
life of Kyle whom he
calls an American hero.
The Arizona Republican says the film offers a
compassionate portrayal of service members,
their wartime experiences, the burdens they
often bear upon returning home and untold
sacrifices of their families.
To critics like Michael
Moore, a documentary
maker, the film glorifies
violence.
Moore, a staunch
opponent of the U.S.
invasion of Iraq in
2003, tweeted about the
movie: “Snipers aren’t
heroes, and invaders are
worse.”
Watson set to play
Belle in ‘Beast’
NEW YORK — Emma
Watson will play Belle
in Disney’s live-action
remake of “Beauty of the
Beast.”
The Walt Disney Co.
announced the casting of the “Harry Potter” star Monday, setting
the prettier half of the
romance at the center of
the fairy tale. Who will
play the Beast hasn’t yet
been announced.
In a Facebook message, Watson said that
she was a huge fan of the
tale while growing up
and that her “six-yearold self is on the ceiling.” She added: “Time
to start some singing
lessons!”
Watson had long been
attached to the project, but it’s taken several years for the film to
come together.
