The Shoppes at Eagle Point has been busy for some time now, but the shopping center offi cially held its grand open-ing Wednesday.

“We are thrilled to come to-gether with our partners and members of the Cookeville community this morning to celebrate the offi cial open-ing of The Shoppes at Eagle Point,” said David Neuhoff , Vice President - Develop-ment, CBL Properties. “With its convenient location offof I-40 and strong line-up of

retail and dining options, this development has already solidifi ed itself as a favored destination in the market.”

The shopping center was fi rst discussed about fi ve years ago, with the major shopping complex break-ing ground last November. Despite Wednesday’s grand opening, Publix was the fi rst store to open in August.

Since then, crowds have yet to slow down, as stores such as Ulta Beauty, Academy Sports & Outdoors and Ross Dress for Less have opened.

There are still plenty of stores yet to open, which is

sure to bring in further cus-tomers. Torrid and Carter’s are still yet to open their doors, with the former open-ing Saturday, Nov. 10.

New restaurant options including Panera, Panda Express, Chipotle and 5 Guys Burgers & Fries are opening in November.

As previously reported, the 228,000 square-foot complex is expected to bring in $2.4 million in annual sales tax revenue and provides roughly 600 or more jobs. With spaces still available in the shopping center, these numbers could grow.

Tennessee’s next Majority Leader may come from Put-nam County.

Rep. Ryan Williams has served as Re-publican Caucus Chairman for the past two years. Now, he’s lobbying GOP House members to support his bid to become Majority Lead-er.

Williams sent a letter to each of the 73 GOP House members announcing his candidacy. Two years ago, Williams promised to raise money and work to increase the GOP’s supermajority, ac-cording to the letter.

Williams said the caucus has never “been more fi nan-cially capable” to meet the members’ needs and challeng-es and the caucus is larger and stronger than ever before.

“I have proven that I am willing to do whatever is necessary to unite our caucus, including investing in our re-branding eff orts, updating our social media platforms and our website,” Williams said in the letter. “As your Majority Leader, I will continue to focus on bringing our members to-gether to achieve similar suc-cessful outcomes on important state issues, and also provide more guidance and support for the policies that are priorities to you and your constituents.”

House Republican Caucus Press Secretary Doug Kufner said all 73 GOP House mem-bers will meet in Nashville Nov. 20 to vote on their leader-ship. That includes members who were just elected Tuesday.

Glen Casada, a Republican representing part of William-son County, has served as the Majority Leader since Janu-ary 2017. On election night, Williams said he believed Casada would be vying for the role of Speaker of the House.

Changes are in the works for some of the traffi c lights and railroad cross-ings in Monterey, but those modifi ca-tions won’t be happening for a couple of years.

“TDOT has been here to do an audit with our signaling and railroad crossings,” Monterey Mayor Bill Wig-gins said. “Their recommendation is going to be to replace the whole traffi c arrangement (including) the signals at the intersection of Holly (Street) and Commercial (Avenue) and Chest-nut (Street) and Commercial with new LED technology.”

He said new lighting will be just one part of the traffi c signal up-grades.

“(They recommend) replacing the whole system — the cantilevers, con-trol boxes, and there will be no more loops which control the signals now. Once it’s installed, it will feature the new, visual trigger mechanisms,” he said.

The mayor said TDOT is recom-mending the upgrade to coordinate the traffi c light with proposed im-

provements to the nearby railroad crossing over Holly Street.

“The railroad crossing at Holly Street eventually will have gates and fl ashers, and the signaling mech-anism (for the traffi c light) will be coordinated with that,” he said.

But Wiggins said TDOT has advised him that the work will not be happen-ing “until 2020 at the earliest.”

“The suggestion was, and I kind of snickered at it, is if Monterey wanted to go ahead and bid out that work, it could be realized sooner,” he said.

The estimated cost of the work is in the neighborhood of $700,000, and Wiggins said that is money that Mon-terey does not have.

“I’m reporting back to them that our board took no action on it because we’re unable to,” he said. “We want it, but we’re not in any position (to fund it.) We’ll just have to be patient.”

New markings for the railroad crossings, which don’t require elec-tronic upgrades, are expected to be completed sooner than 2020, he said.

The mayor also reported to the board this week that another long-pending project is progressing.

“The other simmering thing (is) about replacing all the street lights with LED,” he said. “At long last, we’ll have a meeting with VEC (Volunteer Electric), the accountants and the brass from Decatur, in two weeks so we can hammer this out and come back with a proposal.”

He also encouraged board members to attend a training session being off ered this month by the Municipal Technical Advisory Service.

The Elected Offi cials Academy will be held Nov. 16-17, starting at Algood City Hall.

The fi rst female motor deputy from the Putnam County Sher-iff ’s Offi ce graduated from the motor school last month.

Deputy Margaret Motevalli has been in law enforcement for four years, and has served in Putnam County for the past year and a half. She said her experience with the mo-tor school was diffi cult, but worth it.

“It was the hardest school I’ve ever been through on the military side and civilian side. For me, it was more mentally diffi cult than physical,” said Moteval-li. “It was just process-

ing what they were telling me to do, and making the bike do it.”

When Motevalli or Lt. Eric Hall, who also graduated from the motor school, dropped their 847-pound bikes during training, they picked them back up.

“Neither one of us got special treatment,” Motevalli said. “If we dropped the bike, we picked it back up. No-body was going to help us.”

“The fi rst week was very diffi cult,” Moteval-li said. “I learned how to take sharp turns, tight closed quarters movements, leaning the bike, and trusting your-self and the bike. That was the biggest thing for me.”

The experience has been gratifying, espe-cially since she is pick-ing up motor assign-ments now.

“We (motor squad) escorted Marsha Black-burn to Big O’s yester-day. It was exhilarat-ing,” Motevalli recalled.

So far one of her favorite things about being on the motor squad is interacting with children.

“We were at the Sam’s Club Halloween event a week or two ago. And a bunch of girls came up to me and said ‘I want to be you when I grow up.’ That made me think of all the tough spots I’d been in, and that made it all worth it at that point,” Motevalli said.

First female graduates from PCSO motor school

A Putnam County man and woman were

indicted by the Putnam County Grand Jury for TennCare fraud after an investi-gation by

the Offi ce of Inspector General.

Jeff rey Lynn Brad-shaw and his wife, Wendy Michelle Bradshaw, both of Cookev-ille, attempted to sell

prescription drugs that were acquired through TennCare health insurance, according to a release from the OIG.

Wendy obtained an Oxycodone prescrip-tion while her hus-band, Jeff rey, sold the drugs, according to

the indictment.TennCare fraud is a

Class D felony pun-ishable by up to four years in prison per charge.

“Obtaining pre-scriptions by using TennCare benefi ts and then selling the drugs to others is a crime that endangers us all - as well as our com-munities,” Inspector General Kim Harmon said. “We appreciate local law enforcement and health care pro-viders who collaborate with us in our eff orts to preserve TennCare benefi ts for people truly in need.”

The OIG had assis-tance in this investiga-tion from the Putnam County Sheriff ’s Offi ce and the Cookeville Police Department.

Anyone can report suspected TennCare fraud by calling 1-800-433-3982, toll-free, from anywhere in Tennessee; or log on to www.tn.gov/tnoig/ and follow the prompts that read “Report Ten-nCare Fraud.”

Representatives of the American Legion say an eight-minute speech could earn Putnam County high school students several thousand dollars in scholarships.

The Legion is once again sponsoring its Oratorical Scholarship Program targeted at students in grades 9-12.

“We’ve been doing this program for over 85 years,” said Rich Buford. “It’s a wonder-ful program, one that’s dearly loved by the American Legion and our members.”

He said students are encouraged to compose and deliver a speech on any aspect of the U.S.

Constitution.“We ask them to do

an eight-minute speech on any subject that they want about the Con-stitution of the United States,” he said. “We hope that they’ll do one that talks about citizen-ship and the rights that they have as citizens.”

Buford said the Le-gion has seen a decline in contest participation among high school students.

“In Putnam County last year, we only had one participant, who did it in her senior year and said she really wished she had known about it earlier,” he said. “We are really making an eff ort to get the word out and add-ing a couple of incen-tives for participants.”

Winners at the state level of the competition receive up to $3,000 and the national winner gets $18,000. All con-testants participating in the District contest but don’t advance will receive a $25 check.

“Also, for our district competition, I’ve been donated a laptop and a tablet,” Buford said. “So if we have some great speeches, we’re going to give those away.”

The deadline for entries is Jan. 8, 2019 and entry forms may be found at http://www.tennesseelegion.org/fi les/Oratorical_Con-test_Application_2019.pdf.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, left, and Randal Quarles, vice chair for supervision, gather their things at the end of a Federal Reserve Board meeting in Washington.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve appears on track to raise interest rates once more this year but will likely hold off on any action when its latest policy meeting ends Thursday.

Still, investors will be parsing the statement the Fed will issue after its meeting for any sign that it might be rethink-ing its probable pace of credit tightening in the coming months. So far this year, the central bank has raised rates three times.

At their most recent meeting in late Sep-tember, Fed offi cials

collectively projected that they would end up raising their key short-term rate four times this year and three times in 2019.

The Fed’s bench-mark rate aff ects many consumer and business loans, and when it raises it, borrowing can become more expensive for many.

In recent weeks, fi nancial markets have been gripped by worry and volatility, and some analysts think that in its statement Thursday the Fed may take note of that anxiety as a poten-tial risk to economic growth.

As it happens, this week’s meeting will be the last that will not in-clude a news conference by the Fed chairman.

Beginning in 2019, Chairman Jerome Powell has said he will hold a news conference after each of the Fed’s eight meetings each year, rather than only at every other meeting.

In its statement, the Fed is all but sure to an-nounce that it will keep its key rate unchanged in a range of 2 percent to 2.25 percent, the level it reached in September when the Fed raised it for the third time this year.

Fed is set to keep rates on hold before a hike later in year

(AP) — Health insur-ers are extending their postelection streak before the opening bell thanks to several ballot initiatives and the increased chance that a divided Congress that may not repeal the Aff ordable Care Act.

Shares of Centene Corp., WellCare Health

Plans Inc. and Humana Inc., up between 7 per-cent and 9 percent this week, all edged higher in premarket trading, defying the broader markets which are retreating Thursday. The hospital chain HCA Healthcare Inc., up 5 percent for the week, is rising again.

Industry analysts believe congressional gridlock reduces the risk of major changes for the companies to deal with.

Voters in Idaho, Ne-braska and Utah passed ballot measures to ex-pand the federally and state funded Medicaid program.

MODERATELY CONFUSED

You can’t choose your relatives

Remember Jamal Kashoggi and his fate

Midterms: You can’t always get what you want

George Mitchell, a former federal judge and Sen-ate majority leader, was the chief negotiator of the Good Friday Agreement, which brought to a peaceable end 30 years of civil war in North-

ern Ireland.He was a kid from Waterville, Maine, whose

father was the orphaned son of Irish immigrants and whose mother, who had come to the United States from Leb-anon at the age of 18, could neither read nor write English. Long before Mitchell would become a statesman, he grew up as the kid brother of Johnny Mitchell, who became a state legend by leading his undefeated Waterville High bas-ketball team to win the New England championship in Boston Garden.

George Mitchell recalls growing up and invari-ably being described, because of his own limited athletic talents, around Waterville as “Johnny Mitchell’s kid brother, the one who isn’t any good.” When he won his fi rst election to the Senate decades later, there was a big victory party. On the front page the next day was a picture of the celebration featuring his brother Johnny hanging on his shoul-der. The kid brother still remembers the caption under the photo: “Senator George Mitchell celebrat-ing his landslide victory and being cheered on by an unidentifi ed supporter.”

In politics and in life, we can choose our friends but not our relatives. The truth of that rule was underlined by the coverage of the prison murder of James “Whitey” Bulger, the Boston organized crime boss and FBI informant who was charged with 19 murders. Always mentioned in the next sentence was the fact that Whitey had a younger brother, Bil-ly, who grew up to become the husband of Mary and father of nine, as well as the longest-serving Massa-chusetts Senate president in state history and then the president of the University of Massachusetts.

Bill Weld, having previously served as U.S. attorney in Boston and then head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, was the Republican governor of Massachusetts when Billy Bulger was the state’s most powerful Democrat. Weld publicly saluted Bulger as “the champion of the workingman and the guardian of the widowed, the trustee and protector of Massachusetts General (Hospital) and the patron of the public library, the man who would open the beaches of this beautiful state for all to enjoy ... the public servant who wants nothing more or other than to succor men and women as they toil on the graveyard shift to give their little children a humble home and a solid schooling.”

At the St. Patrick’s Day breakfast he hosted, Bulg-er’s lightning wit was on view. When Boston Brah-min Elliot Richardson, a hero for having resigned as Richard Nixon’s attorney general rather than carry out Nixon’s order to fi re the special pros-ecutor investigating the Watergate scandal, was running for Massachusetts governor, Bulger salut-ed him by predicting The Boston Globe’s editorial endorsement: “Vote Elliot: He’s Better Than You.” When Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, a man not indiff erent to his appearance, was tardy showing up, Bulger explained the delay by saying, “Here is Sen. Kerry, who was unavoidably detained by getting caught in front of a mirror.”

To the Republican governor who could trace his family lines all the way back to the Mayfl ower, Billy Bulger, a proud Irish-American, cracked, “Thank you for letting us use your country.” Please remem-ber that we don’t get to choose our relatives. Billy Bulger is and was a lot more than Whitey’s kid brother.

MARK SHIELDS is a syndicated columnist.

The midterm elections are fi -nally over, and we got what we got — Donald Trump is still president.

Sorry, but someone had to say it.

Now back to the cold realities of everyday life in the White House of Weird, beginning and ending with: Who ordered the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, and what conse-quences will there be?

You remember Khashoggi — the self-exiled Saudi report-er/U.S. resident and contrib-uting columnist to The Wash-ington Post who, upon entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul looking to secure a marriage document, vanished. His horrif-ic fate allegedly involved being tortured, murdered, dismem-bered and removed piecemeal by a squad of hitmen who were waiting for him with a bone saw.

Day after day, Trump did what Trump does—said prepos-terous things so the media would break out in hives and move away from unpleasant-ness, such as whether the U.S. would hold the Saudis account-able for Khashoggi’s murder. Obviously, such global intrigues involving murder, money, oil, arms and conspiracy are complex, and this one is multi-pronged enough to ignite wars and destabilize global markets. The Trump administration early on apparently decided to make nice with Saudi Arabia

and, as the presi-dent keeps saying, the consequences of bad blood between our two countries would be costly, both monetarily and perhaps geopo-litically (to Iran’s benefi t).

There’s surely nothing ne-farious about any of the above unless you don’t like supporting the continuing Saudi bombing of Yemen or the fl ow of Saudi money to Islamic extremists. But Saudi Arabia is the center of the Muslim world, and this fact is not to be trivialized.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, or MBS, mean-while-friend of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, had been generally viewed as the great, new progressive hope of the desert kingdom. He wanted to put women in the driver’s seat, literally, and move away from the strict enforcement of some Islamic dictates, such as stoning for certain off enses.

While stoning may be on the decline, murdering critical jour-nalists and others who cross the royal family seems to be an acceptable practice.

So, what has happened in response to the killing of Jamal Khashoggi? Really, not much.

Saudi Arabia has detained 18 people implicated in Khashog-gi’s murder and sent a team of investigators to help Turkey

fi gure out what happened—al-though, according to a Turkish offi cial, two members of the delegation (a chemist and a toxicologist) were there only to clean up evidence.

Turkey, meanwhile, has all but accused the crown prince of issuing the order for Khashog-gi’s murder, while knowledge-able people in the fi eld say it is nearly impossible anyone else could or would.

Thus, we’re left to speculate about a whodunit of the bloodi-est sort. Depending on what the Saudis conclude, the U.S. may (or may not) impose sanctions on “the individuals ... engaged in that murder,” according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

That’ll show ‘em.Meanwhile, Trump has

imposed sanctions on other countries buying oil from Iran, with the apparent expectation that Saudi Arabia will fi ll the void with its oil and prevent markets from misfi ring. Arms will continue to be bought and sold on some basis, and Yemenis will continue to die.

Life, in other words, will go along as before. But Americans should never forget Khashoggi, nor our president’s apparent willingness to look the other way.

You can’t always get what you want.

So said the philosopher Mick Jagger. He said it in

1969, so obviously, he didn’t in-tend it as a comment on the 2018 midterms. But progressives might be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

After all, they wanted An-drew Gillum to become Flor-ida’s fi rst African-American governor. They didn’t get it.

They wanted Stacey Abrams of Georgia to become the nation’s fi rst female Afri-can-American governor. They didn’t get it, pending a possible runoff .

They wanted the inspiring Beto O’Rourke to unseat the depressing Ted Cruz as senator from Texas. They didn’t get it.

Most of all, progressives wanted a clear rebuke of the moral abomination that is Don-ald Trump. They didn’t get that, either. Instead, the midterms went a long way toward proving that Trump’s rise to power and the intolerance that fueled it were no aberration.

Consider that before the elec-tion, Trump declared himself a “nationalist” and issued an anti-immigrant commercial so racist it was even pulled by Fox “News.” And that Rep. Steve King of Iowa criticized diversity during an interview with an Austrian political party with actual ties to actual Nazis. And that the GOP trotted out one voter suppression scheme after

another, each more odious than the last.

Then, consider that Republican voters were OK with all of it. As a synagogue in Pittsburgh was mourning victims of an anti-Semitic

massacre, as a town near Louis-ville was laying to rest victims of a racist shooting, GOP voters gave thumbs-up to bare-knuck-le bigotry and naked intoler-ance straight out of the 1940s. Of all the things progressives wanted but did not get Tuesday, a clear rejection of that hatred may be the most troubling.

But in mourning overmuch the things they did not get, progressives would risk failing to appreciate all the things they did. And that would be a mis-take.

They wanted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. They got it.

They wanted to restore voting rights to more than a million former felons in Florida. They got it.

They wanted to win guberna-torial races. They got it.

They wanted to pass an initia-tive making it easier to vote in Michigan. They got it.

They wanted to make the po-litical landscape more colorful, more female, more Muslim, more LGBTQ. They got it.

Most of all, they wanted to retake the House of Representa-tives. They got that, too.

Which means that, for the fi rst time in his misbegot-ten presidency—likely the fi rst time in his misbegotten life—Donald Trump now faces accountability. No more lying and lawbreaking while a bunch of invertebrates calling them-selves a Congress look the other way. “Process server” is about to be a growth industry in Washington.

So any progressives dispir-ited by Jagger’s wisdom might do well to recall the rest of this lyric: “You can’t always get what you want,” he sang, “but if you try sometimes, you just might fi nd you get what you need.” And while progressives didn’t get all they wanted, they got enough to help ensure so-called conservatives and their so-called president cannot just walk all over us on the way to doing whatever godawful thing they want to do.

Yes, a better country would’ve reduced Trumpism to rubble. Unfortunately, here in this country, you and I must still deal with the forces of igno-rance and intolerance Trump has unleashed. But here’s the thing:

Now they have to deal with us, too.

Trump, who inserted in his place a Republi-can Party loyalist with authority to oversee the remain-der of the

special counsel’s Russia investigation.

The move Wednesday has potentially ominous implications for special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe given that the new acting attorney gener-al, Matthew Whitaker, until now Sessions’ chief of staff , has questioned the inquiry’s scope and spoke publicly before joining the Justice De-partment about ways an attorney general could theoretically stymie the investigation.

Congressional Demo-crats, concerned about protecting Mueller, called on Whitaker to re-cuse himself from over-seeing the investigation in its fi nal but potentially explosive stages.

That duty has belonged to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller and closely monitors his work.

The resignation, in a one-page letter to Trump, came one day after Republicans lost control of the House and was the fi rst of several expected post-midterms Cabinet and White House depar-tures.

Though Sessions was an early and prominent

campaign backer of Trump, his departure letter lacked eff usive praise for the president and made clear the res-ignation came “at your request.”

“Since the day I was honored to be sworn in as attorney general of the United States, I came to work at the Department of Justice every day de-termined to do my duty and serve my country,” Sessions wrote.

The departure was the

culmination of a toxic relationship that frayed just weeks into Sessions’ tenure, when he stepped aside from the Russia in-vestigation because of his campaign advocacy and following the revelation that he had met twice in 2016 with the Russian ambassador to the U.S.

Trump blamed the re-cusal for the appointment of Mueller, who took over the Russia investigation two months later and began examining wheth-

er Trump’s hectoring of Sessions was part of a broader eff ort to obstruct the probe.

The investigation has so far produced 32 criminal charges and guilty pleas from four former Trump aides. But the work is not done and critical decisions await that could shape the remainder of Trump’s presidency.

Mueller’s grand jury, for instance, has heard testimony for months about Trump confi dant Roger Stone and what ad-vance knowledge he may have had about Russian hacking of Democratic emails. Mueller’s team has also been pressing for an interview with Trump.

And the department is expected at some point to receive a confi dential report of Mueller’s fi nd-ings, though it’s unclear how much will be public.

Separately, Justice Department prosecutors in New York secured a guilty plea from Trump’s former personal law-yer, Michael Cohen, who said the president directed him to arrange hush-money payments before the 2016 election to two women who said they

had sex with Trump.Trump had repeatedly

been talked out of fi ring Sessions until after the midterms, but he told confi dants in recent weeks that he wanted Sessions out as soon as possible after the elec-tions, according to a Republican close to the White House who was not authorized to publicly discuss private conversa-tions.

The president defl ected questions about Sessions’ expected departure at a White House news conference Wednesday. He did not mention that White House chief of staff John Kelly had called Sessions beforehand to ask for his resignation. The undated letter was then sent to the White House.

The Justice Depart-ment did not directly an-swer whether Whitaker would assume control of Mueller’s investigation, with spokeswoman Sar-ah Isgur Flores saying he would be “in charge of all matters under the pur-view of the Department of Justice.”

Rosenstein remains at the department and could still be involved in oversight.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Thirteen people are dead after a gunman opened fi re on a crowd at a country dance bar holding a weekly “college night” Wednesday in Southern California, sending hundreds fl eeing in terror including some who used barstools to break windows and

escape, authorities said.The dead included 11 people

inside the bar, the gunman and a sheriff ’s sergeant who was the fi rst offi cer inside the door, Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said.

“It’s a horrifi c scene in there,” Dean said at a news conference early Thursday in

the parking lot of the Border-line Bar & Grill. “There’s blood everywhere.”

The gunman was tall and wearing all black with a hood over his head and his face part-ly covered, witnesses told TV stations at the scene. He fi rst fi red on a person working the door then appeared to open fi re

at random at the people inside, they said.

Many more people had more minor injuries, including some that came from the attempt to fl ee, Dean said.

Sheriff ’s Sgt. Ron Helus and a passing highway patrolman were responding to several 911 calls when they arrived at the

Borderline Bar & Grill in Thou-sand Oaks at about 11:20 p.m., the sheriff said. They heard gunfi re and went inside.

Helus was immediately hit with multiple gunshots, Dean said. The highway patrolman cleared the perimeter and pulled Helus out, and waited as a SWAT team arrived.

NEW YORK (AP) — The White House has suspended the press pass of CNN correspon-dent Jim Acosta after he and President Donald Trump had a heated con-frontation during a news conference.

They began spar-ring Wednesday after Acosta asked Trump about the caravan of migrants heading from Latin America to the southern U.S. border. When Acosta tried to follow up with another question, Trump said, “That’s enough!” and a female White House aide unsuccessfully tried to grab the microphone from Acosta.

White House press secretary Sarah Huck-abee Sanders released a statement accusing Acosta of “placing his hands on a young

woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern,” calling it “abso-lutely unacceptable.”

The interaction

between Acosta and the intern was brief, and Acosta appeared to brush her arm as she reached for the micro-

phone and he tried to hold onto it. “Pardon me, ma’am,” he told her.

Acosta tweeted that Sanders’ statement that

he put his hands on the aide was “a lie.”

CNN said in a state-ment that the White House revoked Acosta’s press pass out of “retali-ation for his challenging questions” Wednesday, and the network accused Sanders of lying about Acosta’s actions.

“(Sanders) provided fraudulent accusations and cited an incident that never happened. This unprecedented de-cision is a threat to our democracy and the coun-try deserves better,” CNN said. “Jim Acosta has our full support.”

Journalists assigned to cover the White House apply for passes that allow them daily access to press areas in the West Wing. White House staff ers decide whether journalists are eligible, though the Secret Ser-

vice determines whether their applications are approved.

The post-midterm election news conference marked a new low in the president’s relationship with journalists.

“It’s such a hostile me-dia,” Trump said after ordering reporter April Ryan of the American Urban Radio Networks to sit down when she tried to ask him a ques-tion.

The president com-plained that the media did not cover the hum-ming economy and was responsible for much of the country’s divided politics. He said, “I can do something fantastic, and they make it look not good.”

His exchanges with CNN’s Acosta and NBC News’ Peter Alexander turned bitterly personal.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — New research shows the number of butterfl ies and cater-pillars in North Flori-da has been declining substantially over the last decade or so.

The University of Florida study released this week says the number has declined by 80 percent since 2005.

The Tampa Bay Times says research-ers believe two major

factors could be re-sponsible. Milkweed is the favorite food of young monarchs, and its availability has been sharply reduced by development and by glyphosate, an herbicide widely used in agriculture to kill weeds.

Researcher Jaret Daniels says Florida is a staging ground of sorts for the recoloni-zation of butterfl ies on the U.S. East Coast.

Democrat House candidate Sharice Davids gives a victory speech to supporters at a election party in Olathe, Kansas.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — As a girl, Debra Haaland remem-bers joining her grand-mother as she chopped wood and fetched water for her home in tiny Mesita, a Native Ameri-can community situated in New Mexico’s high desert.

Haaland, an enrolled Laguna Pueblo mem-ber, is certain it was these early experiences and the example of her grandmother’s work ethic that helped her win a seat in the U.S. House Representatives on Tuesday — a political victory that until this year had been beyond reach for numerous Na-tive American women. Her fellow Democrat Sharice Davids, who is Ho-Chunk, also won her historic bid to represent a U.S. House district in Kansas.

Their wins add them to a record number of women elected to the U.S. House on Tuesday following an election cycle that also saw a sig-nifi cant boost in Native American female can-didates at the state and local level. In an inter-view, Haaland, a former New Mexico Democratic Party chairwoman, credited a vast political network she built after nearly 20 years of work-ing on other candidates’ campaigns, her team and volunteers, and her own hard work.

“My grandmother worked really hard; she expected us to work hard,” Haaland said. “I mean that in and of itself is what really sustained me. It’s my work ethic.”

Haaland, who is 57, will replace U.S. Rep. Mi-chelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat who ran suc-cessfully for governor this year. Her district covers Albuquerque, and

a handful of rural com-munities that include tribal communities.

Davids’ district, mean-while, lies in the suburbs west of Kansas City. She unseated U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder, a Republican. In addition to being one of the fi rst Native Amer-ican congresswomen, she’ll also be the nation’s fi rst LGBT Native Amer-ican to serve as a federal lawmaker.

On election night, Davids highlighted her life story of being raised by a single mother, being a fi rst-generation college student and working while she was in school, saying those experiences were not unusual.

“What is uncommon, until now, is to have those voices and those stories and those experi-ences truly refl ected in our federal government, in Congress and the Senate,” she said.

The two women will join U.S. Reps. Tom Cole, who is Chickasaw, and Markwayne Mullin, an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation, in the House. Cole and Mullin are Republicans, rep-resenting districts in Oklahoma.

Haaland and Davids’ wins marked an emo-tional high point for Kalyn Free, a citizen of the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma and former district attorney in southeastern Oklahoma, who has been part of a decades-long push to get Native American women elected to Congress.

“l always say little Indian boys and little Indian girls cannot be what they cannot see,” Free said. “Now, there are going to be two male Republicans and two very outspoken two tal-ented, Indian Democrat women who are going to be there as well.”

LEBANON (AP) — A sheriff ’s offi ce in Tennessee says it has received two reports of needles being found in Halloween candy.

The Tennessean re-ported Wednesday that Wilson County Sheriff ’s Offi ce Lt. Scott Moore says a child discovered a needle in a candy bar while he was at school and told a school re-source offi cer.

He says the same child told his father that night that he had found

another needle in a diff erent piece of candy gathered while trick-or-treating in the western part of the county.

Deputies also received a report on Halloween from a woman who said she found a needle in her child’s candy.

Deputies say the mother noticed a candy wrapper was altered and checked the sweet, discovering a thin needle poking through a green Lifesavers gummy.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — With its youthful vibe and eclectic mix of culture, a small Massachusetts city seems a logical site for the nation’s fi rst legal recreational marijuana sales east of Colorado.

An existing medical marijuana dispensary in Northampton — nestled in Massachusetts’ scenic Pioneer Valley — plans to open its doors within days to anyone 21 or older looking for products ranging from pre-rolled joints to cannabis-in-fused edibles, creams, lotions and cooking oils. A second store in the small town of Leicester could also open at or around the same time, while dozens of other re-tail applicants await fi nal licensing approval from state regulators.

The initial openings

come two full years after Massachusetts residents backed legalization, a vote hailed by a burgeon-ing cannabis industry eager to expand its geographic base beyond the several western U.S. states where recreational marijuana is sold.

Massachusetts is projected to see sales of at least $1.8 billion and as high as $5 billion annu-ally, industry leaders predict.

But the road to legal sales has been a long and tedious one.

The original target date of Jan. 1, 2018, was almost immediately pushed back six months by the Legislature, Then the July 1 date came, and went and still no stores were cleared to open. Frustration grew among would-be businesses and consumers alike.

Offi cials in many communities, including some where a majority of voters had approved legal recreational marijua-na, kept pot shops away through moratoriums or zoning restrictions, or by demanding a steep price from cannabis busi-nesses in exchange for signing host community agreements.

Not Northampton, which appeared to roll out the welcome mat. While about 54 percent of all Massachusetts voters supported the 2016 ref-erendum, 73 percent in Northampton gave their blessing, one of the wid-est margins anywhere in the state.

“It’s already count-er-culture. It’s like their customers are already here,” said Steve Morin, a 68-year-old retired delivery truck driver

and Air Force veteran who lives in Springfi eld, Massachusetts.

He visits Northampton frequently and described himself as an occasional marijuana user who may shop in the store when it opens.

“It will be good for tourism,” he added.

The city’s bustling downtown sports trendy restaurants and coff ee shops, bookstores, gal-leries and a performing arts center. Northamp-ton is home to Smith College, an elite liberal arts school for wom-en and one of several colleges and univer-sities — including the 30,000-student University of Massachusetts fl ag-ship campus — within a 10-mile radius of the city. Most undergrads, how-ever, aren’t old enough to buy marijuana legally.

BEIJING (AP) — Growth in Chinese exports to the United States ticked up in October as traders rushed to beat a new tariff hike in a battle over Beijing’s technology policy.

Shipments to the United States, China’s biggest mar-ket, have been unexpectedly resilient since Trump started imposing punitive tariff s goods in July in a fi ght over Beijing’s technology policy. Exports rose 13.3 percent in October over a year earlier to

$42.7 billion, up from Septem-ber’s 13 percent growth, cus-toms data showed Thursday.

China’s trade surplus with the United States narrowed to $31.8 billion from September’s record $34.1 billion as im-ports of American goods rose 8.5 percent to $10.9 billion.

Traders are rushing to beat a U.S. tariff hike planned for January, ING economist Iris Pang said in a report. Pang said they are pessimistic this month’s planned meet-

ing between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump in Argentina will yield positive results.

“We expect this front-load-ing behavior to continue for the rest of 2018,” Pang said.

The Trump administration has imposed a 10 percent charge on $200 billion of Chinese goods that is due to rise to 25 percent in January. Another $50 billion of Chi-nese goods already is subject to 25 percent duties.

Beijing has responded with tariff hikes on $110 billion of American goods. Trump has threatened to expand U.S. penalties to all goods from China.

China’s global exports rose 12.6 percent to $217.3 billion in October, down from Sep-tember’s 14.5 percent growth. Imports rose 20.3 percent to $183.3 billion, accelerating from the previous month’s 14.3 percent. The global trade surplus was $34 billion, up

from September’s $31.7 bil-lion.

“While shipments to the U.S. held up well, those to other parts of the world grew even faster, suggesting that global demand is more resil-ient than expected,” Louis Kuijs of Oxford Economics said in a report.

Unexpectedly strong im-ports contrasted with other signs that China’s factory output and other economic activity is cooling.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Christian woman ac-quitted after eight years on death row in Paki-stan for blasphemy was

released but her where-abouts in Is-lamabad on Thursday remained a closely guarded secret in the wake

of demands by radical Islamists that she be publicly executed.

Aasia Bibi was with her family and under heavy security after being transferred to the Pakistani capital over-night from her detention facility in southern Pun-jab, triggering expecta-tions that her departure from the country could be imminent.

The European Par-liament has made an off er to protect Bibi and her family but for the moment she was still in Pakistan, according to two people close to her. They spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to endanger Bibi’s life.

Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry con-fi rmed later on Thurs-day that Bibi was still in Pakistan.

Radical Islamists have been demanding Bibi’s death as well as the death of the three Su-preme Court judges who acquitted her last week.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s main gas company signed a long-term contract Thursday to receive deliveries of liquefi ed natural gas from the United States as part of a larger eff ort to reduce its energy dependence on Russia.

The state company PGNiG signed the 24-year deal with Ameri-can supplier Cheniere during a ceremony in Warsaw attended by U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Pol-ish President Andrzej Duda.

“This is a sign across Europe that this is how your energy security will be developed, your energy sources diversi-fi ed,” Perry said before the deal was signed.

Perry is visiting sev-eral countries of central and eastern Europe to expand on energy partnerships in the region, the Department of Energy said.

The value of the deal with the Polish compa-ny was not disclosed, in line with traditional secrecy for such energy deals.

However, Piotr Wozniak, the president of PGNiG’s management board, said the price is 20-30 percent lower than what Poland pays its current supplier in Russia.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — If the Florida Senate race between incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson and Gov. Rick Scott requires a re-count, there is no need to worry about it being a repeat of the 2000 pres-idential debacle — there won’t be any hanging chads and the process is likely to take days, not a month.

The race was too close to call and Scott’s lead as of Wednesday eve-ning was about 30,000 votes out of more than 8.1 million cast — a margin of less than one half of 1 percent. Under state law in Florida, a recount is mandatory if the winning candidate’s margin is 0.5 percent-age points or less. That will be determined this weekend by Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner after the can-vassing boards in each of Florida’s 67 counties certify their returns. The recount, if ordered,

would likely begin Monday.

Chris Hartline, a spokesman for Scott’s campaign, criticized the Nelson campaign for pushing ahead for a re-count instead of conced-ing. Scott gave a victory speech late Tuesday.

“This race is over,” Hartline said. “It’s a sad way for Bill Nelson to end his career. He is desperately trying to hold on to something that no longer exists.”

Nelson and his cam-paign staff say they intend to let the process

proceed and will have monitors in every coun-ty. Late Wednesday, an attorney for Nelson said he intends to aggres-sively examine and address reports of ballot problems. The Nelson campaign believes the results of the election

are still unknown since there are ballots yet to be counted, Marc Elias said in a statement.

“We’re doing this not just because it’s auto-matic, but we’re doing it to win,” Elias said.

The process, if it goes forward, will be diff er-ent than the one that gained international no-toriety in 2000, when the Supreme Court ordered an end to vote count-ing in Florida after a month, allowing Repub-lican George W. Bush to claim the presidency with 537 votes.

At the time, each county had its own vot-ing system. Many used punch cards — voters poked out chads, leav-ing tiny holes in their ballots representing their candidates. Some voters, however, didn’t fully punch out the pres-idential chad or gave it just a little push. Those hanging and dimpled chads had to be exam-ined by the canvassing

boards, a lengthy and tiresome process that became fodder for late-night comedians.

Now, all Florida coun-ties use ballots where voters use a pen to fi ll in a bubble next to their candidate’s name, much like a student does when taking a multiple-choice test. When voters fi nish marking their ballots, they run them through a scanning machine that records the count. The ballot is stored inside the machine.

If the recount hap-pens, each county will again run each Senate ballot through a scan-ner under the watchful eye of representatives of both sides. Ballots that cannot be read because they aren’t marked or mismarked will be set aside.

If the statewide margin then falls below 0.25 percentage points, Detzner will order a manual recount in each county.

Rep. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., center, celebrates at a Democratic election night party after winning a Senate seat Wednesday.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A female political move-ment driven by backlash to President Donald Trump kicked off the year with a women’s march in Nevada. Eleven months later, that activism helped women win key races across the state, including ousting an incumbent U.S. senator, electing a female-majority federal delegation and leaving the state poised for a potential female-majority Assem-bly.

Nevada Democratic women running in state-wide and federal races emphasized diversity and the need to protect health care, abortion rights and a social safety net. They were also helped in the battleground state by a network of female-driven political activism.

“Plenty of people had their doubts that this victory would be ours tonight, but this is the

story of this election cycle: Women stepping up to lead, to take back our country and take back the agenda in Washington,” Democrat Jacky Rosen declared in her victory speech Tuesday after winning the U.S. Senate race in Nevada.

Rosen, a fi rst-term congresswoman who ousted incumbent Republican Sen. Dean Heller, becomes the state’s second-ever female U.S. senator and will serve alongside Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, who was elected the nation’s fi rst Latina senator in 2016.

Rosen, a former com-puter programmer and synagogue president from the Las Vegas area, included female-focused messages on the cam-paign trail and high-lighted Heller’s alliance with the president and his eventual support for

GOP plans to repeal the Aff ordable Care Act.

She also condemned Heller’s support for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his characterization of the sexual misconduct allega-tions against Kavanaugh as “smears” and a “hic-cup” in the confi rmation process.

Heller held a modest lead among Nevada’s male voters, but Rosen was preferred decisive-ly among women — 57 percent to 38 percent, ac-cording to AP VoteCast, a survey of the American electorate.

California Sen. Ka-mala Harris and Massa-chusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, high-profi le Democratic women and potential 2020 presidential candidates, campaigned on Rosen’s behalf, as did abortion-rights groups like NARAL Pro-Choice America.

Nevada women score big election wins amid activism

WASHINGTON (AP) — An unprecedented federal and state collabo-ration to defend election systems against Russian interference ended with no obvious voting system compromises, although it’s not entirely clear why.

Federal offi cials are wondering whether foreign agents are saving their ammunition for the 2020 presidential showdown or planning a late-stage misinforma-tion campaign to claim Tuesday’s election had been tainted. It doesn’t change how vulnerable most states are to possi-ble interference.

“They’ve shown will, they’ve shown the capability,” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said. “I certainly can’t speak to

why they’re doing or not doing something. But I would just off er to put it in a broader perspective — they have a full-court press through many means ... to try to aff ect our democracy.”

In a news conference Wednesday after Demo-crats won control of the House, President Donald Trump said his admin-istration worked hard to shore up elections and he’d issue a report soon on the eff ort.

U.S. intelligence offi cials have asserted that Russia, China, Iran and other countries are engaged in ongoing eff orts to infl uence U.S. policy and voters in elec-tions. Chris Krebs, head of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, said this year’s

election was the warm-up.

“The midterm is not the big game,” he said. “The big game we think for the adversaries is probably 2020.”

Interference by Russia during the 2016 pres-idential race caught federal and state offi cials fl at-footed. Since then, Homeland Security, the department tasked with helping states securing election systems, and state election offi cials have worked to create better communication to confront and deter election tampering.

That eff ort was largely successful Tuesday: Federal experts and offi cials in 45 states came together to report on any potential cyber threats in real time.

Cybersecurity offi cials start focusing on the 2020 elections

ATLANTA (AP) — Republican Brian Kemp wants to move forward with transition after his aides say he captured enough votes to become Georgia governor, even though his election rival is conceding nothing. Democrat Stacey Abrams points to ballots that have yet to be counted and says there’s still the possibility of a December runoff in one of the na-tion’s marquee midterm races.

A federal judge on Thursday will convene a hearing for a lawsuit in which fi ve Georgia voters ask that Kemp be barred from exercising

his duties as the state’s chief elections offi cer in any future management of his own election tally.

Kemp’s top campaign advisers declared victory Wednesday based on numbers released by Kemp’s state offi ce; that drew a rebuke from the Abrams campaign, which continues to charge Kemp with improperly using his current post as secretary of state.

The Associated Press has not called the elec-tion.

“We are declaring victory,” Kemp aide Ryan Mahoney told reporters on a conference call late

Wednesday, after a day of the campaigns, media and partisan observers scrambling for informa-tion about outstanding votes across Georgia’s 159 counties. Another campaign offi cial, Austin Chambers, added: “The message here is pretty simple: This election is over, and the results are clear.”

Abrams’ campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo retorted a few hours later that the Kemp campaign off ered “no proof” other than nonspecifi c provisional ballots counts released by Kemp’s offi cial state offi ce.

In Georgia, Kemp looks forward; activists head to court

WASHINGTON (AP) — Beyond trying to get their hands on the Holy Grail of President Donald Trump’s busi-ness dealings — his tax returns — House Democrats are prepared to use their newfound majority and subpoena power to go after all manner of fi nancial records that could back up their claims that he’s using his presidency to enrich himself and his family.

After two years of being blocked by the White House and the Trump Organization at every turn, Demo-crats hope the new year brings a new day on such issues as foreign

government spending at Trump properties, Trump’s foreign li-censing deals, Trump administration ties to

lobbyists and special interests, and spending by Trump’s charitable foundation.

Rep. Elijah Cum-

mings, the Maryland Democrat who is poised to take charge of the House Oversight Com-mittee, said in a state-ment to The Associated Press that he intends to use the panel as “a check on the executive branch — not merely for potential criminal violations, but for much broader concerns, such as confl icts of interest, emoluments violations and waste, fraud and abuse.”

While Democrats tak-ing over key House com-mittees have not specif-ically telegraphed their targets, Cummings’ committee would likely seek Trump’s business tax returns and other

company-related fi nan-cial records, according to two Democratic congressional staff ers who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss post-election plans.

Trump’s personal income taxes, which he withheld during the 2016 campaign and in his two years in offi ce, are expected to be the purview of the House Ways and Means Com-mittee.

Internal Revenue Ser-vice law allows House and Senate tax-writing committees to request federal returns, and the ranking Ways and Means Democrat, Rep. Richard Neal of Massa-

chusetts, has signaled publicly he would ask for them — a move the White House might fi ght.

Trump said in a wide-ranging news conference Wednesday that he doesn’t want to release his taxes be-cause they are under a “continuous audit.” He also said: “They’re ex-tremely complex. People wouldn’t understand them.”

For the past two years, White House lawyers and the Trump Organization have re-peatedly rebuff ed Demo-cratic eff orts to get even the most basic fi nancial information on Trump’s businesses.

President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference in the East Room of the White House, Wednesday.

DEAR ABBY: I read that there is a suicide somewhere in the world every 40 seconds. Numbers rise at holiday time. Feeling like a child

whose nose is pressed against a win-dow, seeing others from the outside as they enjoy the warmth of the moment, can lead to thoughts of abandonment and despair. That’s why I have a mis-

sion — I set an extra place at my table.

I can attest that it works. One year I an-nounced in church that my home would be open to anyone who didn’t have a family. A woman came forward and accepted my invitation. We spent the day getting to know each other and bonded in friendship.

Please encourage your readers to set an extra place at their holiday table. My brother committed suicide. I move forward in his honor. — FULL OF GRATITUDE IN PHOENIX

DEAR FULL OF GRATITUDE:Please accept my sympathy for the tragic loss of your brother. I’m pleased to help spread the word. Isolation can be a killer, and inclusion can be a lifesaver. Bless you for what you are doing. I hope other readers will con-sider it and follow your example.

DEAR ABBY: I have a dilemma I don’t know how to maneuver through. I have been working as an intern at a company for about 18 months. During the summer, I completed a test I need-ed to become fully licensed in my fi eld.

However, I’m still working in my current position at intern wages, although I have repeatedly requested a meeting with my employer to talk money. He continues to say he doesn’t have time, and we will discuss it later. He even agreed to a time on a certain day but failed to show up for the meet-ing. When I emailed him the amount I want, he replied, “We’ll talk about it later.” Should I continue to press the issue? Call him? Email? Or just look for other work? — CONCERNED ABOUT MONEY

DEAR CONCERNED: You have done enough. Pushing your employer further won’t help. The ball is now in his court. Start quietly looking for another job—one in which your skills will be appropriately compensated.

DEAR ABBY: How can I tactfully tell an elementary school teacher in whose class I assist that she uses poor grammar and words that aren’t words (i.e., “I boughten this yesterday,” or, “Her and me went to the soccer game.”)? I am fond of this teacher but feel she’s doing a disservice to her pu-pils. Other than that she’s a devoted, energetic teacher. It is really diffi cult to bite my tongue. — TACTFUL IN THE EAST

DEAR TACTFUL: Children model their behavior after the example the adults around them provide. That a teacher would consistently do what she’s doing in a classroom setting is shocking.

How could she have become a licensed educator with such poor En-glish skills?

Politically speaking, I don’t think that as her subordinate you should take it upon yourself to correct the woman. I do think this is something you should discuss with the school principal.

Extra place at table helps combat

Corn stuff ing balls could become your new friend.

First of all I would like to thank everyone who came out to see the Dinner Theater’s performance of “Built on Stone — Monterey, the

Early Years.” Thank you players who worked hard to write and research your parts. We added some last min-

ute students who came in looking for this new town, Monterey. They told Mr. Wiggins they were building a bank, a millinery shop, a coal mine and a hotel. This represented the young businesses that came in the late 1890s. Thank you to Jack, Luke, and Ben Blaylock and to Jalen Bohannon for stealing the show. I hope everyone learned some

history about Monterey and had fun with us. And the food was wonderful. Grade-A Catering made some deli-cious turkey and dressing and all the trimmings, and, did I mention, pie. We’re already planning something for next year that you don’t want to miss. We will have DVDs on sale at the Monterey Depot in a couple of weeks.

I was reading an older cookbook the other day. It happened to be a Ste-vens Street Baptist Church cookbook from 1987. I found this recipe from Bobbie. I made this and when I ate one, I knew I had found a friend…the stuffi ng ball, not Bobbie. She is al-ready my friend. Thank you, friend. It is delicious. Thought I would share it in time for the holidays. Speaking of the holidays, I am working on the recipes and going to make the

picture for the holiday special this week. Remember, it will come out on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We are using the beautiful Christmas decorations and baked items and, I hear, vintage Christmas items that will be at our FCE Christmas Bazaar Friday, Nov. 9, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 10, from 8 a.m. to noon.

CORN STUFFING BALLS1/2 cup chopped onion1/2 cup chopped celery4 tablespoons butter1 (17 oz.) can cream style corn1/2 cup water1 teaspoon poultry seasoning1/8 teaspoon black pepper1 (8 oz) package (3 cups) herb sea-

soned stuffi ng mix3 slightly beaten eggs1/2 cup butter, meltedIn a saucepan, cook onion and cel-

ery in 4 tablespoons butter until ten-der but not brown. Add corn, water, poultry seasoning and pepper; bring to a boil. Pour over stuffi ng mix. Toss together lightly. Stir in eggs. Shape into 7 or 8 balls. Place in 9x9x2 inch pan. Pour melted butter over balls. Refrigerate if desired. Bake in 375ºF oven for 25 minutes. This is good served with baked chicken.

I love to see my readers when I am out shopping or at events. Last Sunday after church I was at a local supermarket and a very nice lady introduced herself and said she was a faithful reader each week. Then on Monday we were getting gas in the car and a man on the other side of the gas pump asked me if I was Mrs. Ray. He introduced himself and said

he read my column every week and enjoyed it. When I got back in the car, I told George what he said. I said, “I should start a fan club and bake everyone in the fan club cookies. No, I will bake them a pie.” No, I will let Little Debbie do it. So if you want to join our fan club (I will be the presi-dent and Mr. George will be the vice pres.) go get yourself a cookie or little Debbie cake and we will have the kick-off party.

Sounds like fun. I know you’d rather have homemade pie and I don’t blame you. While I am thinking about it, I will be starting my baking of the pumpkin rolls and red-velvet cake rolls next week. Just give me a call if you want some.

George and I were in Lebanon last Monday at the dermatologist for some minor surgeries. We went into the Home Depot store for something and as we walked down the aisle, a tool carrier caught my eye.

I said,” George, look at this neat bag to carry all your tools in.” He said, “I don’t need one. I have a fi ve-gallon bucket to carry them in, and it has a lid. If I get tired, I can sit on the bucket.” My George is a smart man.

Our MHS class of 1964 lost anoth-er classmate last week to death. My condolences to Donna Steel Young’s family. We will certainly miss you.

I am one tired lady tonight so I think I will close. I had to go to Knox-ville today to a doctor and get a test. I passed because I studied real hard. I studied so hard that my eyes closed.

Any questions, you may call me at 510-1349 or email me at [email protected].

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Dez Bry-ant has found a new team, agreeing to join the already prolifi c off ense of the surging New Orleans Saints.

The former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, who has been looking for an NFL home since becoming a free agent in April, will now have a chance to catch passes from one of the most prolifi c quarterbacks in NFL history in New Orleans’ Drew Brees.

“There is certainly a skillset that he has that is going to be benefi cial. So I look forward to getting to work with him. I look forward to building a rapport with him. I look forward to getting him involved in this off ense and just become a complement to all the guys that we already have,” Brees said. “He’ll be a great addi-tion.”

The 30-year-old Bryant and the Saints agreed to contract terms on Wednesday, and it remains unclear to what extent Bryant will play when New Orleans visits Cincinnati on Sunday.

Bryant spent his fi rst eight years in the NFL with Dallas and last sea-son caught 69 passes for 838 yards and six touchdowns, including a 50-yard scoring play, for the Cowboys.

However, his professional repu-tation has been marred at times by public confrontations with coaches and teammates during games and practices.

Veteran Saints tight end Ben Watson said players in New Or-leans’ locker room must guard against pre-judging Bryant based on superfi cial observations from old television clips without knowing all the facts or how Bryant has evolved personally since.

“I don’t know Dez. I wasn’t in the locker room with him in Dallas. I don’t know all the dynamics,” Wat-son said. “I also don’t know what’s transpired with him personally since that situation. So the great thing about a locker room, I think, is we take guys in and we say, ‘Hey, what are you like now?’”

Seeking salary cap relief, the Cowboys released Bryant after last season with two years remaining on the receiver’s fi ve-year, $70 million contract.

Last season was Bryant’s best since he caught 88 passes for 1,320 yards and 16 TDs in 2014, which at the time was his third consecutive season with at least 1,200 yards re-ceiving. He signed his last Cowboys contract right after that, but has not approached that level of production since — a central reason Dallas released him in April.

“What matters is, what are we go-ing to do for the next eight games?”

The Tennessee Tech volleyball team suff ered a tough blow to its hopes of making the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament Wednesday night as the Golden Eagles fell to the Jacksonville State Game-cocks 3-0 at Tech’s Hooper Eblen Center.

The shutout knocked Tech down to 11-18 overall and 5-10 in the OVC, while the Gamecocks improved to 16-13 overall and 8-7 in the OVC. JSU won the fi rst set 25-18, the second set 25-20 and the third set 25-23.

In the fi rst set, the Golden Eagles battled back-and-forth with JSU to a 10-10 tie, but a 4-point run gave the Gamecocks the cushion they needed to stretch out the fi rst win. In the second set, JSU had it’s 4-point run sooner (8-4), but the Golden Eagles still battled back to a 12-12 tie. Tech kept things tight up to a 20-19 defi cit before JSU went on a 5-1 run to end it.

“We needed to serve more aggressively, and we needed more off ense, period,” TTU head coach Jeanette Waldo said of the fi rst two sets. “We needed to dig balls, but I think that if we had a little bit more off ense, a little more fi repower, or a little more aggression behind the serving line at them, they would have been in a hard-er place to do what they wanted to do.”

Tech came out deter-mined to swing the mo-mentum in its favor in the third set with a 7-1 run to start. Despite letting JSU score fi ve straight points (7-6) to make things close, the Golden Eagles went on a 9-2 run to set up a 18-10 advantage. They also matched JSU’s next three points to make it 21-13.

However, the Gamecocks started to click on off ense. They held Tech to just two more points in the remain-der of the third set, while scoring 12 to win it.

“Obviously, there was a shift in energy,” Waldo said. “(Jacksonville State) got momentum, and they were really aggressive. They never let up, they just kept picking at us, and we just let it happen.

“We made a lot of chang-es (coming into the third set). We moved our lineup around, we fl ipped some people, and we added a couple more pieces. That’s something that we have to look at as a coaching staff to see if it’s something that we want to do moving forward or if we go back to what’s served us well in the past.”

Erica Grant led Tech’s attack as the only Golden Eagle to hit double fi gures with 11 kills, and Rachel Thomas backed her up with nine. Ali Verzani anchored the defensive eff ort with nine digs, while Grant and libero Kirsten Brugere each had eight.

One of the biggest highlights of the night was a career milestone for setter Susie Jeziorowski. With her 11th assist of the evening in the second set, Jeziorowski made it to 2,000 for her career as just a second-year starter for

the Golden Eagles. She is well over 1,000 assists on the season and averages

9.96 per set.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley dives for the ball against Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic during a game Wednesday in Memphis.

MEMPHIS (AP) — In a season when NBA teams are scoring more and playing faster on off ense, the Memphis Grizzlies are taking the opposite approach — relying on their defense.

That certainly proved successful Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets.

Marc Gasol scored 20 points, including the go-ahead free throws with 4.6 seconds remaining, and Memphis edged the Nuggets 89-87 to end their fi ve-game winning streak.

The Nuggets (9-2) had a chance after Gasol’s foul shots, but Nikola Jokic’s 3-point attempt bounced off

the rim and Denver’s rebound tip was also off the mark.

Memphis held the Nuggets to 39 percent shooting, including 8 of 32 from 3-point range. The 87 points were a season low for the Nuggets, and the 176 points combined by the teams tied for the fewest in an NBA game this season.

“We knew it was going to be an ugly game if we were going to have a chance of winning,” Grizzlies guard Mike Conley said. “We tried to get in the mud a little bit, be physical defensively and get the pace where

DENVER (AP) — Colton Sissons put an exclamation point on his run of success against the Colorado Avalanche.

The fi fth-year center got his second career hat trick and Colorado had two apparent goals nullifi ed by replay reviews as the Nashville Predators beat the Av-alanche 4-1 Wednesday night.

“Everybody has a team or two they have success against and feel good against and fortu-nately for me, it’s a team in our division,” said Sissons, who has scored eight of his 26 career goals against Colorado. “They are always tough games (against the Avs), like playoff games, and I like playing in those games. Maybe that’s it.”

Sissons’ play has fi g-ured in an even bigger run of success by Nash-ville, which improved to 7-0 on the road this

season and extended its regular-season winning streak against Colorado to 11 games.

“We just stay focused and do our thing,” Sis-sons said. “I don’t know if being on the road and only focusing on the

road helps us. But we’ve been sharp.”

Ryan Hartman added an empty-net goal with 2:54 left for Nashville, which benefi ted from the nullifi ed goals in

Up next, Tech welcomes UT Martin to the Hooper Eblen Center on Saturday at 2 p.m. in what has become a must-win match for the Gold-en Eagles.

UT Martin currently holds the eighth and fi nal spot in the OVC tournament with a 6-9 confer-ence record, but a Tech win would deadlock the two teams at 6-10 with the tiebreaker going to TTU. Also in the hunt are Eastern Illinois and Belmont at 5-9 in the OVC. Both teams have two OVC matches left on Friday and Saturday, but Tech also holds tiebreakers over both.

“(A must win is) how the team felt about both of these (last two) matches, so I think that’s part of why this poor performance happened,” Waldo said. “How many times have these student ath-letes been in this position where they’re playing for all the marbles. In the last couple seasons, that’s not been the case whatsoever. They weren’t playing for anything at stake. You have to train that just like you have to train a volleyball skill.

“I think it’s great for us to experience this, especially for the young ones. I think we have to fi nd a way to play relaxed because that’s what the best version of ourselves is. Hopefully we can do that.”

said Watson, who played for the Patriots when running back Corey Dillon arrived with a reputa-tion as a malcontent from Cincinnati in 2004 and helped New England win a Super Bowl.

Watson was still with the Patriots in 2007 when they added another perceived malcontent in re-ceiver Randy Moss, who caught 23 of Tom Brady’s NFL-record 50 TD passes that season.

“People change over time and there are certain factors you just don’t know about. So we just move forward,” Watson said. “If somebody’s new, you have a clean slate and you embrace that person because now they’re your teammate.”

Bryant was among several receivers to work out for the Saints on Tuesday. He’d previously met with Cleveland and Baltimore.

New Orleans (7-1), which has won seven straight and leads the NFC South, didn’t necessarily need another receiver.

Led by the record-setting Brees, the Saints rank seventh on off ense overall, averaging 402.2 yards per game, and seventh in passing, averaging 289.9 yards. At the same time, New Orleans is without deep threat Ted Ginn Jr., who is currently on in-jured reserve and won’t be eligible to return until the fi nal few weeks of the season, if he’s ready by then.

The Saints also have yet to receive consistent production from Cameron Meredith, a former Chicago receiving leader who was acquired in free agency, but who also is trying to come back from major knee surgery that wiped out his 2017 season.

Bryant’s return to the NFL with the Saints means he could play against his former club in a few weeks. The Saints play at Dallas on Nov. 29.

“They’re getting a great receiver. He goes up and attacks the ball better than I’ve seen anyone,” Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot said. “He’s defi nitely a special player and I’m glad he got picked up and I’m glad something worked out for him.”

Added Cowboys coach Jason Garrett: “I’m hap-py he has an opportunity to go play and fi nish the right way, it will be a great environment for him to go out and make an impact.”

New Orleans also has two games remaining against division rival Carolina (6-2).

sending Colorado to a fourth straight loss.

“We know how big it is,” Nick Bonino said. “Those were big challenges. The fi rst one I think you could see; the second was a gusty call. It was game-chang-ing.”

Avalanche coach Jared Bednar thought his team’s poor execution might have contributed to the adverse rulings.

“I have to try and fi nd the reviews that they have because to me, one could be inconclusive, maybe both, I don’t know,” Bed-nar said. “But I think our execu-tion was poor. Tape-to-tape passes we’re throwing into guys’ skates even when there aren’t players in between them, going off side on goals. That’s part execution, slows down our pace, slows down the tempo of our game.

“The two goals getting called back to me is just another aspect of our lack of execution.”

Trailing 2-0, the Avalanche had an apparent goal at 1:29 of

the second period waived off after a replay review showed the puck had drifted across the blue line, making it off side. Samuel Girard was straddling the blue line when he passed to Ian Cole, whose shot zoomed into the net past goalie Pekka Rinne only to have it erased after the Predators’ challenge was upheld.

A second Avalanche goal was disallowed, on a shot by Colin Wilson, with 12:33 remaining in the third following a Predators challenge. Offi cials took away the score after the replay review, saying the Avs were off side when the play started.

Girard was at the center of the only goal that counted for Colo-rado, a power-play score. He fi red a pass down the middle of the ice that Matt Calvert redirected past Rinne to pull the Avalanche to 2-1 at 7:08 of the second period. The goal was upheld after a replay review.

Nashville rebuilt its lead on the power play. Kyle Turris, off a feed from Kevin Fiala, wristed a shot from inside the right circle that

Sisson tipped into the net past goalie Semyon Varlamov for his third of the night at 19:57 of the second.

Sissons got the fi rst two thirds of the hat trick in the fi rst period. At 13:39 of the period, Varlamov stopped a shot from Bonino but the rebound trickled out and Sissons was there with his stick to tap it in.

Four minutes later, Sissons gathered a cross-ice pass from Ro-man Josi and wristed a shot past Varlamov from in close.

NOTES: Sissons has four multi-goal games in his career, includ-ing his fi rst hat trick last Jan. 5 against Tampa Bay. ... Avalanche forward Sheldon Dries took a puck off the side of his face late in the fi rst period. He stayed down on the ice stunned for several moments before managing to get up and skate off under his own power. He went to the dressing room for further examination and treatment before returning in the second period. ... It was the fi rst of four meetings this season be-tween the Central Division rivals.

we wanted it.”Jaren Jackson Jr. also

had 20 points for Mem-phis, and Kyle Anderson fi nished with 14. Gasol grabbed 12 rebounds.

Gary Harris led the Nuggets with 20 points, and Trey Lyles added 16 off the bench. Jamal Murray had 15 points and seven assists after scoring a career-best 48 in Monday night’s win over Boston.

Murray shot only 6 of 21 this time.

“I don’t know what it was, but the ball didn’t like me today,” Murray said.

Denver was up 83-82 before Memphis took the lead on a 3-pointer by Shelvin Mack with 1:45 left. Conley hit a fl oater

with 40 seconds to go, but Lyles’ dunk and a 22-foot jumper by Murray tied it at 87 before Gasol’s winning free throws.

Memphis coach J.B. Bickerstaff told his team he wanted to get back to a defensive mentality and force opponents to fi ght through low-scor-ing games if they want to beat the Grizzlies.

“That’s exactly what this win represents,” Memphis guard Garrett Temple said. “Holding this team — as hot as they’ve been — to 87 points at home ... it was a big win for us.”

TIP-INSNuggets: Murray was

limited to seven points on 3-of-10 shooting in the fi rst half. He missed his fi rst four 3-pointers

before converting one near the 9-minute mark of the third quarter. ... Jokic, who averages 11 shots a game, took just one — his 3-point try in the closing seconds. “I’ll have to look at the tape to see what they are doing for him to only take one shot,” coach Michael Malone said. “Obviously, I would like him to take more shots, but right now he isn’t shooting the ball and we will have to fi gure out why.”

Grizzlies: Commit-ted eight turnovers in the fi rst quarter and fi nished with 18, com-pared to 19 for Denver. Memphis has had fewer turnovers than its oppo-nent in every game this season. ... The Grizzlies (6-4) are 4-0 at home.

. Gasol and Jackson had three blocks each. Jackson also made three steals.

PACE OF PLAYThe game was a

contrast of styles, with Memphis relying on its slower-pace defensive approach against a Den-ver team that entered averaging almost 112 points per game.

“They defi nitely got us into their game,” Nuggets reserve center Mason Plumlee said, later adding: “It was a slow, slow game, so I think that benefi ted them.”

Conley acknowledged Memphis can score 130 points in a game, but: “Defensively, I do think this is what you should expect from us.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — T.J. Oshie left for the second time after taking Evgeni Malkin’s shoul-der to the head but returned to score late and lift the Washington Capitals over the rival Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 on Wednesday night in a meeting of the two most recent Stanley Cup champions.

Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby traded goals, and Oshie got the winner with 1:14 left following a dangerous hit from Malkin. The Penguins star was thrown out of the game for an illegal check to the head and could get a hearing with the NHL’s department of player safety.

Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby stopped 41 of 42 shots for his fi rst victory since Oct. 22. The only goal he allowed was Crosby’s eighth of the season, which came on the power play.

Pittsburgh’s Casey DeSmith stopped 20 of 22 shots in his fi rst career start against Washington. The Penguins lost their fi fth in a row and could be without Malkin in the near future.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Ryan Getzlaf scored 27 seconds after Calgary got a tying goal in the third period to lift Anaheim.

The Flames trailed 2-0 in the fi rst but rallied to tie it six minutes into the third on Mark Jankow-ski’s short-handed goal. Getzlaf then was able to corral a loose puck in front of the goal and direct-ed a backhand through Mike Smith’s legs for his second game-winner of the season.

Jakob Silfverberg and Adam Henrique also scored for Anaheim. Ryan Miller made 37 saves and tied Andy Moog (372) for 17th on the career wins list.

Matthew Tkachuk also scored for Calgary, and Smith stopped 21 shots.

Cal State Bakersfield guard Jarkel Joiner (0) attempts a layup as TCU guards RJ Nembhard (22) and Desmond Bane (1) defend during a game Wednesday in Fort Worth, Texas.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Desmond Bane and No. 20 TCU didn’t get off to great start in their fi rst opener as a ranked team in 20 sea-sons. They fi nished with a victory.

Bane scored 13 of his 14 points after halftime, when the Horned Frogs rallied to beat Cal State Bakersfi eld 66-61 on Wednesday night after trailing by as many as 11 points.

“Just kind of stuck with it,” Bane said. “There were times when other people were getting open looks in the fi rst half and I just felt like it was kind of falling my way in the second half.”

Bane’s tiebreaking driving layup with 2:48

left fi nally put TCU ahead to stay. Bane also had 10 rebounds.

The Horned Frogs fell behind early in their fi rst opener as a ranked team since 1998-99. That preseason ranking was after the Horned Frogs had gone to the 1998 NCAA Tournament, their last one before making it last March in the second season for coach Jamie Dixon at his alma mater.

Cal State Bakersfi eld, which like TCU was in the NIT semifi nals two seasons ago, jumped ahead 29-18 less than 12 minutes into the game, and led 37-28 at half-time.

“That’s something that was diff erent for us, and we responded in

the second half,” point guard Alex Robinson said. “It’s new for all of us, being prepared that everybody’s going to come out and give us their best shot.”

JD Miller had 13 points for TCU, while Robinson had 12 points and nine assists with only one turnover. Yuat Alok had 11 points.

Jarkel Joiner had 18 points and Damiyne Durham 11 for Bakers-fi eld. Both had three 3-pointers.

Bane and Robinson each had fi ve points in a 19-6 run in the second half that pushed TCU ahead for the fi rst time since less than seven minutes into the game. The Frogs led 49-47 when Bane drove for

a layup and made the free throw after being fouled with seven min-utes left.

“I was proud of guys, because we had a lot of guys this is their fi rst time being in a game like this,” Bakersfi eld coach Rod Barnes said. “You just don’t know, you believe. I think our eff ort and our play today was a program game. I think our pro-gram just what we’ve done over the last four or fi ve years brought us here with confi dence.”

BIG PICTURECal State Bakersfi eld

has nine players on its roster who previously redshirted a season, matching the most in the nation.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Kiana Williams had 14 points and three assists playing 18 minutes, leading No. 7 Stanford past cold-shooting UC Davis 71-43 on Wednesday night in both teams’ season opener.

Williams, Stanford’s sophomore point guard who averaged 10.4 points last season, drove for two early layins while leading an up-tempo Stan-ford off ense that struggled to consistently make shots but overmatched the Aggies to pull away in the second half after building a 12-point halftime lead.

Alanna Smith added 16 points in 15 minutes of action for Stanford as Hall of Famer Tara VanDerveer began her 33rd season coaching the Cardinal.

UC Davis senior Morgan Bertsch scored 16 points with fi ve rebounds but had six turnovers for the two-time defending Big West Conference champion Aggies

NO. 17 NORTH CAROLINA STATE 77 BELMONT 62

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Grace Hunter scored 16 points, Kai Crutchfi eld added 15 and North Caro-lina State used a big run in the fourth quarter to defeat Belmont.

The Wolfpack, who have won 16 straight open-ers, led 55-52 after three quarters and twice swapped baskets with the Bruins before Hunter knocked down a jumper. Crutchfi eld followed with a 3-pointer and another jumper before Aislinn Konig drilled a 3. The same trio scored the next eight points with Hunter fi nishing the 18-0 surge for a 77-56 lead with 2:54 to play.

Belmont, which went 31-4 and won the Ohio Val-ley Conference Tournament for the third straight year to make the NCAA Tournament, missed seven shots and had three turnovers during the more than fi ve-minute drought.

Jenny Roy had 14 points and Ellie Harmeyer and Darby Maggard 13 each for Belmont.

NO. 20 TEXAS A&M 65 RICE 54

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Chennedy Carter scored 22 points, Aaliyah Wilson and Kay-la Wells combined for 34 and Texas A&M defeated Rice in the season opener for both teams.

Carter, last season’s national freshman of the year, opened the scoring with a tip-in and scored the last four points from the foul line in a 13-1 start. The Owls opened the scoring in the sec-ond quarter to make an 8-0 run that pulled them within four but Carter scored the fi rst six of an 8-0 answer.

Carter had 14 points and Wilson scored 11 of her 18 points in the fi rst half that ended with the Ag-gies on top 28-18. Rice got back within three with 2½ minutes left in the third quarter, but Carter and Wells, who had 16 points, scored the fi nal six points for some separation. A&M made 7 of 8 free throws in the fourth quarter to preserve the win.

Erica Ogwumike led the Owls with 12 points.

Stanford women cruise in openerNEW ORLEANS (AP) — An-

thony Davis had 32 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks in his best game since spraining his right elbow nearly two weeks ago, and the New Orleans Peli-cans ended a six-game skid with a 107-98 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.

After missing four of his fi rst fi ve shots, Davis hit his next eight, including two 3s and a two-handed reverse alley-oop jam, while on his way to his fi rst 30-plus point game since New Orleans beat the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 23.

Jrue Holiday had 17 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists while being guarded primarily by brother Justin. Julius Randle and Wesley Johnson each scored 12 points for New Orleans.

Zach LaVine scored 22 and Ja-bari Parker had 20 points and 13 rebounds for Chicago, which has dropped fi ve of six games. Justin Holiday and Wendell Carter Jr. each had 17 points, and Carter had 11 rebounds.

LAKERS 114, TIMBERWOLVES 110LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron

James had 24 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and Kyle Kuzma scored six of his 21 points in the fi nal minutes of Los Angeles’ victory over Minnesota.

Josh Hart scored 21 points and Brandon Ingram added 20 for the Lakers, who avenged a loss at Minnesota nine days earlier with a tenacious fi nish at Staples Center.

Kuzma’s fourth 3-pointer put the Lakers up 111-104 with 1:51 to play for their biggest lead of the night. Derrick Rose promptly hit back-to-back 3-pointers for the Wolves, trimming the lead to one with 1:06 left.

Kuzma hit one of two free throws with 9.5 seconds left after two huge off ensive rebounds by Tyson Chandler, who had nine boards in an auspicious Lakers debut. Rose missed a 3 under heavy defensive pressure from Chandler, and Hart hit two free throws to seal it.

Rose scored 31 points and Jim-my Butler added 24 for the Tim-berwolves, who dropped to 0-7 on the road this season with their fourth consecutive loss overall. Minnesota had won fi ve straight over the Lakers.

James fell just shy of his 75th

triple-double, but scored nine points in the fourth quarter.

RAPTORS 114, KINGS 105SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) —

Kawhi Leonard had 25 points and 11 rebounds in his return from an ankle injury, and Toronto beat Sacramento to improve the NBA’s best record to 11-1.

Pascal Siakam scored 21 points, Serge Ibaka had 14 points and 14 rebounds, and Kyle Lowry added 16 points and eight assists for the Raptors.

Toronto has won fi ve straight since its lone loss this season at Milwaukee on Oct. 29.

Leonard sat out the previous two games and got off to a slug-gish start early against the Kings before helping Toronto pull away.

The two-time All-Star scored 10 points in the second quarter and 10 in the third, including a soaring, one-handed dunk through traffi c. Toronto has won three straight against the Kings.

Willie Cauley-Stein and Buddy Hield scored 24 points apiece for Sacramento.

THUNDERS 95, CAVALIERS 86CLEVELAND (AP) — Dennis

Schroder scored a season-high 28 points in replacing injured star Russell Westbrook and Oklaho-ma City beat Cleveland.

Westbrook sprained his left ankle Monday, but the Thun-der withstood Cleveland’s fourth-quarter run without the two-time MVP to win its sixth straight game after starting the season 0-4.

Cleveland (1-10) rallied from an 11-point defi cit early in the fourth quarter to go ahead. Oklahoma City led 78-67 before the Cav-aliers went on a 13-0 run. J.R. Smith and Kyle Korver each hit two 3-pointers and the Cavaliers led 80-78 with 7:02 remaining. Alex Abrines’ 3-pointer from the corner gave the Thunder the lead for good with 4:31 to play.

Paul George added 18 points for Oklahoma City. Cleveland rookie point guard Collin Sexton made his fi rst career start, with George Hill out with a sore right shoulder. Sexton had 15 points in a career-high 42 minutes.

HEAT 95, SPURS 88MIAMI (AP) — Hassan White-

side had 29 points, 20 rebounds and an NBA season-high nine

blocked shots, and Miami snapped a four-year drought against San Antonio.

Wayne Ellington scored 20 points, and Justise Winslow added 16. Miami was down to an eight-man rotation for the sec-ond half because of injuries and Dwyane Wade missing the game for personal reasons.

The Heat had dropped their last nine regular-season games to the Spurs — and 11 consecutive games overall in the series, when factoring in the 2014 NBA Finals. Patty Mills had 20 points for San Antonio.

PISTONS 103, MAGIC 96ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Andre

Drummond had 23 points and 19 rebounds and Detroit beat Or-lando to snap a fi ve-game losing streak.

Blake Griffi n added 20 points, Reggie Jackson had 15, and Stan-ley Johnson 13. Evan Fournier led Orlando with 27 points, and D.J. Augustin had 16.

Fournier hit three straight shots and Aaron Gordon added a dunk to pull Orlando to 94-93 with 2:58 left. Griffi n made two free throws to start a 9-0 run that Jackson fi nished with a 3-pointer and a layup.

76ERS 100, PACERS 94INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Joel

Embiid scored 20 points and Ben Simmons nearly had a triple double to lead Philadelphia past Indiana for its fi rst road victory of the season.

Simmons had 16 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists to help Philadelphia end a fi ve-game losing streak on the road. Indiana’s Victor Oladipo scored a season-high 36 points, and Domantas Sabonis had 16 points and 11 rebounds.

BESTOFTHEREST This weekend’s other top conference games (all times EST)

KEYS FORMISSISSIPPI STATE

Establish the run:TheBulldogs are second in theSEC in rushing at betterthan 230 yards per game.Alabama is second in rundefense, allowing 102 perouting. MSU needs to sus-tain drives and eat up clockto keep Alabama’s explosiveoffense on the sideline.Stop the run: It’s Football

101, control the line of scrim-mage and you have a chanceto win. The Bulldogs arethird in run defense, allow-ing 111 yards per game, whileAlabama’s ground game is

picking up steam. MSU needsto keep the Crimson Tide frombeing balance on offense.

KEYS FORALABAMA

Avoid the hangover:Thisis the second consecutivephysical game for the CrimsonTide, which is coming off a bigwin at LSU. That was anemotional victory for Ala-bama, which cannot affordto overlook the scrappyBulldogs after clinch-ing a spot in the SECChampionship Game.Strike first, strike hard,

nomercy:Alabama didn’tscore on its opening drive

all season last weekend, butits offense has been prettyoverwhelming all season. TheCrimson Tide should try toput MSU in a hole early andforce the Bulldogs out of theirrun-first comfort zone.

PREDICTION

Alabama 39,MississippiState 16:These Bulldogshave proven themselves tobe capable of pulling off theoccasional upset and can’tbe counted out, but Ala-bama is playing on a differ-ent level. The Crimson Tideput down LSU and will do thesame to Mississippi State.

GAMEOFTHEWEEK NO. 18 MISS. ST. (6-3, 2-3) AT NO. 1 ALABAMA (9-0, 6-0)

When: 3:30 p.m. EST Saturday Where: Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, Ala. TV: CBS

POWERRANKINGS Breaking down the SEC

1. Alabama (9-0): The Crimson Tide is thebest team in America, but the StarkvilleDogs can bite in this schedule spot.

2. Georgia (8-1): For all the season crazi-ness, Georgia vs. Alabama is the SECChampionship Game we all expected in thesummer.

3. LSU (7-2):We found out that Coach Ois more than just a nickname, it’s also ascoreboard.

4. Mississippi State (6-3):MSU has beenmoving up quietly, which is hard to do whenyou wear a cowbell.

5. Auburn (6-3): Could the Tigers be settingup another miracle November? Road gameslike Georgia make it harder.

6. Kentucky (7-2): The big stage proved toobig. The goal now is a warm-weather bowl.

7. Texas A&M (5-4): Jimbo’s making lots ofmoney and can afford to be generous, so hegave Auburn an entire football game.

8. Missouri (5-4):Mizzou’s computer profilehas exceeded its win total so far, but don’ttry telling that to Florida.

9. Florida (6-3): Dan Mullen’s first year atFlorida is morphing into Nick Saban’s firstyear at Alabama.

10. South Carolina (5-3): At least the Game-cocks were exciting last Saturday but areturn to dullness could happen quickly.

11. Ole Miss (5-4): The Rebels can’t winbecause they stop no one — but they godown swinging.

12. Tennessee (4-5): The Tennessee vs.Charlotte game had to be the worst everseen, if anyone saw it.

13. Vanderbilt (4-5): The Commodores couldstill find themselves in a bowl game ...

14. Arkansas (2-7): ... so could the Razor-backs, if they buy themselves some tickets.

(AP) — Here are some things to watch during Week 11 of the Southeastern Con-ference football season:

GAME OF THE WEEKAuburn (No. 24 College

Football Playoff ) at No. 5 Georgia (No. 5 CFP): This rematch of last year’s SEC championship game is import-ant to Georgia’s playoff hopes. If Georgia falls to Auburn for a second regular-season loss, the Bulldogs could have a tough time making the

four-team playoff fi eld even if they upset No. 1 Alabama (No. 1 CFP) in the SEC cham-pionship game. Auburn and Georgia met twice last season. Georgia lost 40-17 at Auburn during the regular season be-fore beating the Tigers 28-7 in the SEC championship game.

MATCHUP OF THE WEEKAlabama QB Tua Tagov-

ailoa vs. Mississippi State’s pass defense. Tagovailoa has established himself as the Heisman Trophy favorite

after throwing 27 touchdowns and just one interception over his fi rst nine games. The top-ranked Tide (No. 1 CFP) are averaging 51.3 points per game. Mississip-pi State’s defense has been among the best in the nation, giving up just nine off ensive touchdowns all season. The 18th-ranked Bulldogs (No. 16 CFP) are especially good at stopping the passing game: They’ve given up just 167.2 yards through the air per game, which ranks fi rst in

the SEC.

NUMBERS GAMESouth Carolina will be

attempting to beat No. 19 Florida (No. 15 CFP) for the sixth time in their last nine meetings Saturday. Before that stretch, Florida went 18-1 against South Carolina from 1964-2009. ... No. 12 Kentucky (No. 11 CFP) will try to beat Tennessee in Knoxville for the fi rst time since 1984 this week. The Wildcats have lost to Tennessee at Neyland

Stadium 16 straight times. ... Missouri’s Drew Lock could move as high as third place on the SEC’s career passing list this week. Lock currently ranks sixth in career yards passing with 11,089. He’s in position to pass Florida’s Chris Leak (11,213 from 2003-06), Tennessee’s Peyton Man-ning (11,201 from 1994-97) and Georgia’s Eric Zeier (11,153 from 1991-94) this week. The record is held by Georgia’s Aaron Murray, who threw for 13,166 yards from 2010-13.
