    Hutchinson: Consider a credit freeze after data breach

    The Identity Theft Resource Center recommends that data breach notices explicitly recommend that victims freeze their credit and that credit reporting agencies create a common system for people to do so.

    Conaway: Ghost of a river — Part One

    “No river in America’s maritime history has seen greater tragedy. And no drama on the Mississippi has been as dramatic, no tragedy as tragic, as what occurred right here.”

    Opinion: Some conservative women support abortion rights

    Conservative Kristina Garner writes about her support of limited government, individual freedoms, the right to bear arms, a strong military, and the importance of state and local rights. But on abortion, she writes that decades of discrimination against women lead her and many other conservatives to disagree with the Republican Party’s position.

    Sanford: My big brother Louis’ courage, influence and love will never be forgotten

    “Louis had such a dominant influence on my life – perhaps even more than my parents. And I always wanted to be just like him.”

    Echols: A Christmas column that isn’t tinsel and twinkles

    “Today’s column is about the ways the evil of this world threatens humanity, both through our own choices, and through the spiritual forces in and at work around us. Which is exactly the reason for Christmas.”

    Conaway: To see the wonder, all you have to do is look

    As half the country was in a drought — Lake Mead turning into Pond Mead and our own Mighty Mississippi becoming the Measly Mississippi — the ginkgoes didn’t turn yellow. Until they did.

    40 years of ‘Cranberry Bowl’ a playbook for lasting memories, lingering injuries

    For decades, a group of alums from Memphis’ Bishop Byrne High School gathered for an annual Thanksgiving Day tradition that earned the name The Cranberry Bowl.

    Echols: Thanksgiving traditions for the modern family

    “The modern American — me, included — can barely sit through a wheat-harvesting description without checking her phone for something a tad more interesting.”

    Guest Column: A first-time voter reflects on the importance — and the challenges — of voting

    “Every vote does indeed count. But election information should be more accessible to everyone, and candidates need to spend time with who they want to represent.”

    Conaway: We have models; what will we be?

    “These are the women who raised my generation — the boomers — and taught, supported and sustained us — and amazingly have received only history’s condescending pat on the head for the effort.”

    Guest Column: Advice from a poll worker a week after Election Day

    “We need more citizens preparing themselves to vote by weighing the choices to be made, making informed choices about their votes, and then showing up to vote.”

    Opinion: Tackling injustice at the roots

    “It’s time to move past surface-level ‘fixes’ that blame the community for the problems that systems create. We believe that communities, particularly communities of color, deeply and intimately understand the problem and therefore hold the transformative solutions that will last.”

    Echols: ‘My Magnificent Lover’

    “Real, gut-level laughter is a gift from God; laughter was his design. It’s also a wildly underestimated instrument of light for both children and adults. It has the power to cut through some dark moments, and we need tools that have power like that right now.”

    Guest Column: Homeless — but not without hope — in Memphis

    “From one end of the state to the other, we have children sleeping on the floors of government offices. There are more than 9,000 foster children in Tennessee, but less than half as many homes exist to care for them.”

    Sanford: Two words best describe Lee’s impressive reelection victory — BlueOval City

    In Tennessee, it was GOP business as usual following Tuesday’s midterm election. The legislature remains under total control by Republicans and Gov. Bill Lee cruised to reelection without breaking a sweat.

    Guest column: How a rabbi inspired my role at the National Civil Rights Museum today

    Echols: ‘Don’t grow up. It’s a trap.’

    “It makes sense of a mother’s tears on the first day of kindergarten or at high school graduation. It recognizes a college graduate’s homesickness for her roommates. It validates a father’s emotion as he gives his daughter away on her wedding day.”
