Area under a winter storm watch BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
An approaching winter storm could blanket the Corinth area with several inches of snowfall on Friday. On Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service Memphis Forecast Office post-
ed a winter storm watch for all of the Mid-South as a significant snow-maker appears to be taking shape. For the Corinth area, “Right now, we are looking at snow accumulations potentially up to between 3 and 4 inches,” said Meteorologist Jim Branda.
“And it will be windy. We are expecting reduced visibilities and travel difficulties.” He said the Corinth area can expect rain changing over to light ice pellets and snow sometime between 9 a.m. and noon. Snow, moderate at times, is expected from around noon to 4
or 5 p.m. “Temperatures will be falling during the afternoon down to the low 30s,” said Branda. “As snow tapers off in the early evening, clouds will also start to clear, and the wind chill will be down in the teens to maybe 10 degrees by Saturday morn-
ing. Saturday is going to stay cool with only a high of around freezing.” The storm is expected to dump the most snow in northwest Mississippi and parts of west Tennessee, with up to 6 or Please see STORM | 2
Supervisors add purchase clerk Board votes to seek duties to chancery clerk’s office referendum on tax BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Alcorn County is electing not to hire a new individual to serve as purchasing clerk. The Board of Supervisors Tuesday evening voted instead to add the duties of that job to the workload of the new chancery clerk, Greg Younger. The county expects to save about $30,000 annually by not hiring another individual to fill the post, which has been vacant since July 2014. “It will be a big job,” said Younger, “but I can handle it, I know, and I hope that we all
work together to make this system work for the county and get our budget and all our financial matters under control.” The board Younger also voted to shift the inventory control clerk duties from Younger to Willie Justice, an employee of the chancery clerk’s office, since Younger cannot hold both titles. Supervisors also
gave pay raises to Jill Goodwin and Floyd Crum, employees at the supervisors’ office who have filled many of the duties of purchase clerk during the position vacancy and will continue to have a role in purchasing. Tax Collector Larry Ross suggested it would be a good time to get purchasing procedures in writing for the county departments. Younger said he will be working with Goodwin and Crum “to make sure the county

Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin will again ask Mississippi lawmakers to support a tax increase referendum to repair streets throughout the city. The Board of Aldermen voted Tuesday to sign the infrastructure resolution which calls for a 0.25 percent special sales tax. The tax would be used to fix aging infrastructure, including the repaving and repairs of three major thoroughfares in the city. Sidewalk improvements and the addition of ADA

access would also be included. “I’ve been lobbying the past few years for this opportunity to let our citizens decide if they want to fix our infrastructure,” said Irwin. The revised resolution includes the repaving of Harper Road, Shiloh Road and part of Tate Street from Harper Road to Fulton Drive. “These are roads we basically all use and are very important to the future growth of the city,” added Irwin.

Health department office makes changes BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
State health departments are taking a different route. The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) announced on Wednesday it is changing clinic hours and shifting focus to preventive health. MSDH also announced it will no longer be enrolling new maternity patients. Patients now have other options under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid Managed Care. “Like any other business, we’ve had to face the current environment and come up with a different way of doing business while continuing to provide core public health to all Mississippians,” said State Health Officer Dr. Mary Currier. Nine county health departments will be permanently closed due to a very limited number of people using their services or as a more efficient way to utilize staff, according to a MSDH press release. Staff reductions effect 35 full-time employees and 29 contract workers. Locally, health departments in Alcorn, Prentiss, Tishomingo
and Tippah counties will remain open. “We are continuing to evaluate our programs and clinics to ensure the most effective and efficient use of our funds,” said Currier. “We will move toward prevention-oriented activities such as diabetes self-management, tobacco and chronic diseases prevention while still providing standard services such as immunizations, disease investigation and inspections of restaurants, child care facilities, hospitals, on-site wastewater and others on a daily basis.” Hours for the Alcorn County Health Department, located at 3706 Joann Drive, are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Most services are offered at the health department and walk-ins are accepted on a limited basis in Alcorn County. The health department in Prentiss County, located at 615 East Parker Drive, Booneville, has the same hours as Alcorn County and provides the same services. Hours in Tippah County are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Tishomingo County times are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Michie School kicks off ‘Teens for Jeans’ effort BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
MICHIE, Tenn. — Cleaning out their closets, dressers and wardrobes to help others in need, Michie Elementary School’s Energy Club “The Energizers� are collecting denim jeans and shorts as part of “Teens for Jeans�. A national campaign aimed at clothing the
homeless youth of America, the effort has gathered over five million pairs of jeans from young people
across the country in the past eight years. “Our goal is to collect more than 8,000 pairs,� said MES Club Sponsor Debra Steen. “With the help of our community and neighbors, we are hopeful we will be able to meet that goal.� Affecting an estimated one million young people in the United States each year, Statisticians have
dubbed jeans as one of the most requested items in homeless shelters. In order to fill the constant need, The MES Energizer Club has held a drive for the past three years and has collected several hundred pairs of jeans. According to dosomething.org, jeans are the perfect item to donate because they can be worn
multiple times between washes, can be dressed up or down and provide a sense of normalcy to the person wearing them. Members of the community, county and school can support the club by dropping off their gently-used denim from now until Thursday, Feb.25 at MES, located on Hwy 57 East in Michie, Tenn. Accepted jean sizes
range from baby to adult. “We can conserve energy by reusing jeans and help others in the process,� said Steen. “Please aid us in reaching our goal.� In addition to denim pants and shorts, khaki pants may also be donated. (For more information and for questions, contact Debra Steen at MES at 731-632-3602.)

A similar resolution signed by the mayor and Board of Aldermen last year gained little traction during the 2015 legislative session and a referendum never reached the ballot. “Unlike the last resolution, this one states once the work is done and everything is paid, the tax would stop,� said Irwin. “I think that is a very important addition.�
In 2015, the city projected a 0.25 percent sales tax would generate around $1 million annually. Irwin said he felt like the projects listed in the new resolution would cost $3 million to $4 million to complete. “We have 175 miles of road in the City of Corinth, and unfortunately, we don’t have enough income in our general fund to take care of them all,� the mayor said. “When it comes
to street paving work, a lot of times we live off grants, but most of the those grants have to be matched by us and that puts the city in a bind.� If supported in the capital and a bill is drafted by the governor, a referendum vote could appear on the ballot as early as November. Irwin said the infrastructure resolution would have no effect on paving projects the city announced in November.

Today in History
Across the Region Temporary rental assistance offered
Today is Thursday, Jan. 21, the 21st day of 2016. There are 345 days left in the year.
WALNUT — Tippah County residents displaced by the December storms can now receive temporary rental assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Any family displaced by the disaster and who remain unable to return home or find a new dwelling, may be eligible for federal disaster aid which could mean an initial two months of temporary rental assistance to help pay for a clean and safe place to stay while repairs continue. Survivors in the five counties designated for Individual Assistance — Benton, Coahoma, Marshall, Quitman and Tippah — can call 800621-3362 or visit disasterassistance.gov. For longer-term rebuilding assistance, the U.S. Small Business Administration offers low-interest loans to qualified individuals to help with residential and business losses. Homeowners, renters and business owners may obtain information on SBA disaster loan applications by calling 800659-2955 or by visiting sba.gov.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 21, 1976, British Airways and Air France inaugurated scheduled passenger service on the supersonic Concorde jet.
On this date: In 1861, Jefferson Davis of Mississippi and four other Southerners whose states had seceded from the Union resigned from the U.S. Senate. In 1908, New York City’s Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance prohibiting women from smoking in public establishments (the measure was vetoed by Mayor George B. McClellan Jr., but not before one woman, Katie Mulcahey, was jailed overnight for refusing to pay a fine). In 1924, Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin died at age 53. In 1954, the first atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton, Connecticut (however, the Nautilus did not make its first nuclear-powered run until nearly a year later). In 1968, the Battle of Khe Sanh began during the Vietnam War. An American B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs crashed in Greenland, killing one crew member and scattering radioactive material. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter pardoned almost all Vietnam War draft evaders. In 1982, convictturned-author Jack Henry Abbott was found guilty in New York of first-degree manslaughter in the stabbing death of waiter Richard Adan in 1981. (Abbott was later sentenced to 15 years to life in prison; he committed suicide in 2002.) In 1994, a jury in Manassas, Virginia, found Lorena Bobbitt not guilty by reason of temporary insanity of maliciously wounding her husband John, whom she’d accused of sexually assaulting her.

Meeting to promote neighborhood watch BOONEVILLE — There is power in numbers. That’s the message Booneville leaders are sharing as they prepare to host a public meeting on neighborhood watch programs in the city.
Truckload sale at
Eastview Pentecostal Church
The meeting, set for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 26 at City Hall will offer residents the opportunity to learn more about how to start a neighborhood watch in their own areas. “You work better in groups,” said City Prosecutor Daniel Tucker. “When you have five or six people, or an entire neighborhood standing together they’re not going to run over you.” The movement began in Booneville when a group of neighbors from the Miller Circle area approached the board of aldermen asking what could be done about crime and other issues. They had begun the process of establishing a neighborhood watch and were looking for support. City officials looked into the issue and aldermen expressed support for establishing a citywide program of watch groups. The upcoming meeting is the first step in the process. Tucker said the meeting will include information on how to get a neighborhood watch up and running and what the city can do to help. He said residents know better than anyone what’s going on in their neighborhood and can quickly spot suspicious activity. The meeting is also a chance for the city to gauge interest in the programs. Tucker said city officials are strongly supportive of the effort and if there’s enough interest they want to establish a community action officer within the police department who would be a single point of contact for the programs. Tucker said as city prosecutor he’s been given the full support of the board to crack down on crime and there will be zero tolerance for those violating the laws and causing problems in the city’s neighborhoods. For more information about the upcoming meeting, call city hall at 662-728-5601.
UM honored for top online MBA program OXFORD — The Uni-
versity of Mississippi’s online MBA program is again ranked in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2016 list of 25 Best Online MBA Programs. UM tied for No. 22 in the rankings. Other SEC schools on the list include Florida (No. 4) and Auburn (No. 10). Temple University, Indiana University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ranked 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Notable institutions ranked below UM on the list include the University of Arizona and Oklahoma State University, (tied at No. 41), Florida State University (No. 44) and Baylor University (No. 69). “We are pleased and excited with the recognition of the quality and value of our MBA programs,” said Ken Cyree, dean of the UM School of Business Administration. “The credit goes to our dedicated faculty and staff who provide exceptional educational opportunities to our students.” The Ole Miss MBA online program comprises 12 courses designed for working professionals. With nearly 100 students enrolled, it boasts the same curriculum as the on-campus program, but maximizes the flexibility that working professionals require in a master’s program. By taking two courses per term (spring, summer and fall), students complete the program in two years. Enrollment in less than two courses per term is allowed but will extend the duration of the degree. “People now recognize that an MBA is the best option for them because they can carry that degree in most any field and be successful,” said Ashley Jones, director of MBA administration at the university. “Students in the program bring with them a wide array of professional backgrounds, which fosters for a rich learning environment, particularly in an online format with discussion boards.” Students are taught by world-renowned faculty who are top researchers in their fields.

STARKVILLE — As southern states experience record rainfall during the winter season, spillways and levee systems in southern Mississippi and Louisiana are acting as defense systems to prevent the Mississippi river from overflowing its banks. When the Mississippi Valley rains propel the river to its peak levels, the question remains, “How much can levee systems withstand before breaking and towns flood?” This question is one that Mississippi State researchers at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems are attempting to answer by performing simulations on supercomputers. CAVS researcher and faculty member Bohumir Jelinek creates computational models by building complex mathematical algorithms that represent millions of particles of soil and fluid to create realistic simulations involving a variety of different soil types and

fluids. An advantage the CAVS research team has is using Mississippi State’s High Performance Computing Collaboratory’s large computer clusters to solve the complex problem at a faster rate that decreases the time to solution. “These animations help us to get a comprehensive picture of what is going on. Each sphere represents a particle of sand or soil,” Jelinek said. “We are looking at the velocity of fluid, particles, forces, torques and stresses. In the real world, many things can’t be observed and measured directly, especially under extreme conditions. Using modeling and visualization, we can obtain a reasonable estimate of what will happen and eliminate the risk,” he explained. Jelinek collaborates with engineering experts from Mississippi State’s civil engineering department to determine the strength of soil to aid decision-makers in knowing how to better build and reinforce levees and foundations that protect homes and businesses from floodwaters. They explore applications such as the strength of saturated soil, sedimentation and shear thickening by combining two methods: the three-dimensional Lattice Boltzmann Method models fluid and the Discrete Element Method models solid particles. Jelinek and the research team at CAVS are adding flexibility into the DEM/LBM system, which will assist in solving more problems from various applications, like fluid injection, piping erosion, and reliability of the flood protection systems. For instance, they are exploring which soil material is more suitable for construction in order to avoid erosion. This will answer questions such as what flood stage the levee is able to sustain and how the process of erosion will affect levee and various other systems that are used for protection.

Corinth, Miss.
Lovely Rheta a genius made Somewhere online there was a list of the most common names of geniuses. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the most common names of geniuses were among the most common names: William, John, Mary, Joseph. And, Paul, Thomas, Peter, Elizabeth and George. You get the idea. The story suggested that you might name your own issue from the genius list to Rheta give an advantage to the child. Johnson No more Sunshine and Sage Moonblood. Farewell, Apple Columnist and Maddox. Good riddance to the cute-sounding Debbie and Cindy and Freddie. Forget the football player names like Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Ben Gay. Go with heft. Reach back to the dignified and simple, the basics and the Bible, King James version. Back to royalty, whence riches come. I think my own name has held me back from Geniusdom all these years. It would explain a lot. My mother meant well. She was impressed with the unusual spelling a Canadian neighbor living in Colquitt, Georgia, used for “Rita.” All my life, I’ve been pronouncing “Rheta” for folks, who often ask if I’m named for Rhett Butler. “No, it’s pronounced like ‘Rita,’” I say. Or, depending on my mood, sometimes I say “Yes.” Wouldn’t it have been easier to simply spell it the common way? Rita, or Rheta, sounds friendly enough, like a waitress or stylist, someone you’d tip. I’ve heard the joke about Lovely Rita the Meter Maid all of my life, of course. That’s OK, too. I think I might have made a competent meter maid. If I’d been named Sarah, however, I think I would have written great novels instead of countless newspaper articles. It’s a hard name to corrupt. You can’t find a nickname in Sarah. It commands respect. If I’d been assigned Prudence or Faith or Hope or one of the virtuous-sounding, classical monikers, I’d have been an ambassador or nurse. If I’d been named Chastity, I’d have been a nun. “Rheta” is sounding better and better. I don’t have children, but I think naming one would be tough. It’s hard enough to name a dog. You first have to consider how it will sound when you stand outside and yell it a hundred times. I once named a female dog Humphrey and discovered how ridiculous some names can sound at a certain decibel level. I used to say if I had a little girl I would name her Jennifer. Jennifer Johnson. Now, from the high hill of my old age, I can see that Jennifer was overused. Today I’d go with Jasmine. A boy: Johann Johnson. I think people with alliterative names are more popular. Their names trip off the tongue. The popular girls in high school and college had alliterative names: Cathy Caddell, Mary Maples, Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn wasn’t a classmate, but you get the point. Works the same way with men. My own husband is Hines Holt Hall, a nice family name. His initials look good on towels, billfolds and belt buckles. There’s a lot to consider when naming a child, assigning them the role of genius or fool. I suspect other factors may play into the equation, but that’s just a wild guess.

If Obama and Bryant want to help ... OXFORD — President Barack Obama delivered his last State of the Union speech on the same day Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant delivered his last inaugural message. Even though they are not exactly twins when it comes to their politics, there was a pattern. Both talked about where we had been, where we are now and what’s left to do. Both offered some specifics, but as is also often the case, most recommendations were “conceptual,” meaning short on specifics. But fear not, here — offered humbly — is a list of enactments that could make life in America and Mississippi better, or at least less stressful. ■ After each evening’s last show, movie theatres must discard all unsold popcorn. This, quite obviously, would overcome the issue of matinee patrons paying $20 for buckets of chewy kernels. Popcorn should not be chewy. ■ Television commercials for products designed to bring relief to those with reluctant bowels may no longer contain motion graphics showing exactly how the product gets things moving. We can get the picture without seeing the picture. ■ At least one story in every local newscast must be accompanied by video that does not include the red
and/or blue strobe lights of emergency vehicles, a politician or both. We all know these Charlie images “test Mitchell well” in terms of holding Columnist the attention of an audience, but really … ■ Officially ban Sharia law, except in the case of people who enter the 10-item checkout line with 50 items. These people would be taken to the front of stores and have each item in their baskets hurled at them. ■ Every car advertisement must include a testimonial from at least one customer who actually paid the price being advertised for the car displayed. ■ Force health-service providers to use the “on time or else” approach to office visits. You know, when a builder promises to finish a job by a certain date, the contract often calls for penalties for every extra day. If a clinic schedules a patient for 8 a.m., puts said patient in a tiny cubicle about 9:45 and the doctor comes in at 11, well, that visit should just about be free. ■ Parents who wish to inflict physical pain on their children may continue to do so, as long as the venue selected is not a public
shopping area or park. The term “park” includes theme parks, and any parent choosing to wallop a child at a Disney venue or any of the other “happiest places on Earth” would be required to empty every diaper bin in every restroom of the park for the duration of their stay. No gloves, either. ■ Prohibit credit card companies from charging any late fee greater than the balance owed. A person a day late on a $7 debt could no longer be charged $35. Similarly, banks could not charge fees greater than the amount of a bounced check. ■ Require people who insist on wearing sidearms in accordance with their Second Amendment rights to also wear a Stetson, boots, spurs and to walk bowllegged. They would also be required to greet everyone by saying, “Howdy, partner.” ■ In the same vein, require people who insist on sagging their pants to wear T-shirts featuring penguins (who waddle in similar fashion) on the front and back. Happy feet, indeed. ■ Television talk shows featuring people sitting around a table to gab must contain at least one person who is remotely familiar with facts concerning the topic. ■ Require that any lawmaker grousing about money Mississippi “loses” when residents buy Power-
ball tickets explain exactly where the $6.2 billion has gone that Mississippi has collected from casino patrons since 1992. ■ Notifications of winnings of random Internet lotteries and all offers of great wealth from Nigerian princes or others must be made in person. Also, all unsolicited mail delivered by the Postal Service must be returnable to the sender at the expense of the sender. ■ Require any person who wishes to voice an opinion about public education to spend one day in a public school. ■ Bring back the pillory for people who litter, curse in public, spit (except during athletic events when it seems to be required), park poorly, have messy yards and don’t pick up their pets’ poop. ■ And an oldie-goldie: Pay every employee every penny earned, then require each employed person to remit, in cash, federal taxes, Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, state taxes and every other tax and fee that is deducted before “net compensation” is paid. Not big measures. But they would change the world. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo. com.)
What are elections for? After months of watching all sorts of political polls, we are finally just a few weeks away from actually beginning to see some voting in primary elections. Polls let people vent their emotions. But elections are held to actually accomplish something. The big question is whether the voters themselves will see elections as very different from polls. If Republican voters have consistently delivered a message through all the fluctuating polls over the past months, that message is those voters’ anger at the Republican establishment, which has grossly betrayed the promises that got a Republican Congress elected. Whether the issue has been securing the borders, Obamacare, runaway government spending or innumerable other concerns, Republican candidates have promised to fight the Obama administration’s policies — and then caved when crunch time came for Congress to vote. The spectacular rise, and persistence, of Republican voter support for Donald Trump in the polls ought to be a wake-up call for the Republican establishment. But smug know-it-alls can be hard to wake up.

Even valid criticisms of Trump can miss the larger point that Republican voters’ turnThomas ing to such a Sowell man is a sign of desperaColumnist tion and a telling indictment of what the Republican establishment has been doing for years — which they show pathetically few signs of changing. Seldom have the Republicans seemed to have a better chance of winning a presidential election. The Democrats’ front-runner is a former member of an unpopular administration whose record of foreign policy failures as Secretary of State is blatant, whose personal charm is minimal and whose personal integrity is under criminal investigation by the FBI. Meanwhile, the Republicans have fielded a stronger set of presidential aspirants than they have had in years. Yet it is by no means out of the question that the Republicans will manage to blow this year’s opportunity and lose at the polls this November. In other times, this might
just be the Republicans’ political problem. But these are not other times. After seven disastrous years of Barack Obama, at home and overseas, the United States of America may be approaching a point of no return, especially in a new age of a nuclear Iran with long-range missiles. The next President of the United States will have monumental problems to untangle. The big question is not which party’s candidate wins the election but whether either party will choose a candidate that is up to the job. That ultimate question is in the hands of Republicans who will soon begin voting in the primaries. Voters need to consider what elections are for. Elections are not held to allow voters to vent their emotions. They are held to choose who shall hold in their hands the fate of hundreds of millions of Americans today and of generations yet unborn. Too many nations, in desperate times, especially after the established authorities have discredited themselves and forfeited the trust of the people, have turned to some new and charismatic leader, who ended up turning a dire

situation into an utter catastrophe. The history of the 20th century provides all too many examples, whether on a small scale that led to the massacre in Jonestown in 1978 or the earlier succession of totalitarian movements that took power in Russia in 1917, Italy in 1922 and Germany a decade later. Eric Hoffer’s shrewd insight into the success of charismatic leaders was that the “quality of ideas seems to play a minor role,” What matters, he pointed out, “is the arrogant gesture, the complete disregard of the opinion of others, the singlehanded defiance of the world.” Is that the emotional release that Republican voters will be seeking when they begin voting in the primaries? If so, Donald Trump will be their man. But if the sobering realities of life and the need for mature and wise leadership in dangerous times is uppermost in their minds, they will have to look elsewhere.

Panel supports GOP candidate BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. — A Republican-led Mississippi House committee voted along party lines Wednesday to recommend overturning a Democratic lawmaker’s victory in an election that went to a drawing of straws for a tiebreaker. If the House agrees, Republicans will gain a three-fifths supermajority, which would give them the power to change tax laws without consulting Democrats. The committee voted 4-1 to ask the House to seat Republican challenger Mark Tullos of Raleigh rather than longtime Democratic Rep. Bo Eaton of Taylorsville. Eaton and Tullos tied with 4,589 votes each in the November election in District 79 in Smith and Jasper counties, according to certified results. Eaton won a tiebreaker by drawing straws overseen by the governor and secretary of state. However, Tullos appealed and asked the House to declare him the winner. He said the election never should have
been tied because he believes some votes were improperly counted by election commissioners who did not give public notice of a meeting. Eaton was inaugurated to begin his sixth term Jan. 5, the first day of the legislative session. House Speaker Pro Tempore Greg Snowden, R-Meridian, said he expected the full House to consider the committee’s recommendation Wednesday afternoon. It was not immediately clear when Tullos would be sworn in if the House sides with him. Eaton said he believes the committee recommendation would violate voters’ equal protection rights under the U.S. Constitution because people cast their ballots in good faith. An attorney for the secretary of state’s office told Smith County election officials to count the affidavit ballots in question because voters still lived in District 79 even though they had moved within the district. Eaton said “a handpicked committed by the speaker of the House” was taking away voters’ rights.
Last year was Earth’s hottest by big margin BY SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON — Last year wasn’t just the Earth’s hottest year on record — it left a century of high temperature marks in the dust. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and NASA announced Wednesday that 2015 was by far the hottest year in 136 years of record keeping. For the most part, scientists at the agencies and elsewhere blamed man-made global warming, with a boost from El Nino. NOAA said 2015’s temperature was 58.62 degrees Fahrenheit, passing 2014 by a record margin of 0.29 degrees. That’s 1.62 degrees above the 20th-century average. NASA, which measures differently, said 2015 was 0.23 de-
grees warmer than the record set in 2014 and 1.6 degrees above 20th century average. Because of the wide margin over 2014, NASA calculated that 2015 was a record with 94 percent certainty, more than double the certainty it had last year when announcing 2014 as a record. NOAA put the number at above 99 percent — or “virtually certain,” said Tom Karl, director of NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. For the first time Earth is 1 degree Celsius warmer than it was in pre-industrial times, NOAA and NASA said. That’s a key milestone because world leaders have set a threshold of trying to avoid warming of 1.5 or degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times.

Likely, nothing affects our view of what the Bible says more than our view of inspiration. For many, the Bible is seen as nothing more than a book written by men and carries no more “weight” or authority than any other book written by men. Some view inspiration as a sort of “rubber stamp” with which God approved those things written by men. Others see inspiration simply as what motivated the writers, in the same sense that a best-selling author might have been motivated, or “inspired”. All these views, and others like them, fall short of what is meant in the text of 2 Timothy 3:16 when Paul wrote that ”All scripture is given by the inspiration of God.”(King James Version) The word translated “inspiration”, is, in the original language of the New Testament, a compound word that literally means, “God breathed” and suggests that the message of the original writers came directly from God. Peter wrote “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved (literally: borne along) by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:21) Both texts speak to the divine origin of scripture, both Old Testament and New. When Paul wrote to the Corinthians about the different ways the message of the gospel was viewed in his day, he quoted from the Old Testament book of Isaiah, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit.” (I Corinthians 2:9,10). In verse 13, he says, ”Which things we also speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth: comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” This passage suggests that it is not possible for man to know God’s will by the human senses, or apart from Divine revelation: and that God has, by the Spirit, breathed out the very words used by the original bearers of the message to accurately , and flawlessly in fact impart His will to man.

Oscar nominations disappoint Nyong’o NEW YORK — Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o says she’s “disappointedâ€? by “the lack of inclusionâ€? in this year’s Oscar nominations. In a statement posted late Tuesday night on Instagram, Nyong’o said she was joining in “calling for change in expanding the stories that are told and recognition of the people who tell them.â€? Following a second straight year of allwhite acting nominees, lifetime achievement honoree Spike Lee has said he won’t attend the Feb. 28 ceremony, and the Rev. Al Sharpton has called for a boycott of the awards. Nyong’o said the Oscars should be “a diverse reflection of the best of what our art has to offer today.â€? The 32-year-old, Kenya-raised actress won best supporting actress for her performance in “12 Years a Slaveâ€? in 2014. Â
‘Star Wars’ release date pushed back NEW YORK — There is a disturbance in the force. The release of “Star Wars: Episode VIII� has been delayed from May 2017 to Dec. 15, 2017, the Walt Disney Co. announced Wednesday. The date change postpones the anticipated next “Star Wars� set installment to follow the box-office hit “The Force Awakens.� Though “Star Wars� was once synonymous with the summer blockbuster, the date change means that the franchise will again look to dominate movie theaters in the holiday season. It has proven a lucrative match for “The Force Awakens,� which has made a record $861 million domestically and $1.88 billion globally in five weeks of release. Disney offered no reason for the delay, but rumors have recently swirled that writerdirector Rian Johnson (“Looper�) is rewriting the script. Production is set to begin next month in London. In the interim, the “Star Wars� spin-off

Palin joins Trump on campaign trail TULSA, Oklahoma — Conservative firebrand Sarah Palin joined Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in Oklahoma Wednesday as part of her endorsement pledge in the increasingly intense race for the GOP nomination. “Are you all ready to work to make America great again?â€? Palin asked a crowd of thousands packed into an arena at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, echoing Trump’s campaign mantra. Palin, who was absent from Trump’s Wednesday morning event in Norwalk, Iowa, despite a scheduled appearance, rejoined the Trump campaign in Tulsa, warming up the crowd ahead of the candidate’s speech. But Palin also struck a personal tone, alluding to problems her son and other returning military vets endure when returning to civilian life. “It’s kind of the elephant in the room,â€? she began, addressing her family’s struggle. Palin’s oldest son, Track, was arrested earlier this week in a domestic violence case in which his girlfriend told police she was afraid he would shoot himself with a rifle. Â
Wal-Mart workers will get pay raises NEW YORK — The vast majority of WalMart’s U.S. employees will get raises as part of the world’s largest retailer’s previously announced commitment to invest in its workforce as it faces pressure from labor-backed groups and seeks to retain workers in a tighter labor force. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Wednesday said more than 1.2 million U.S. hourly workers will get wage increases on Feb. 20. The company, which is the largest U.S. private employer with 1.4 million total workers, also said it will provide free, basic short-term disability to full-time hourly workers. And it will start allowing workers to accrue paid

time off as they earn it. The moves mark the biggest changes WalMart has made in its efforts to offer better wages and benefits to its workers. Last February, WalMart announced that it would raise base employee wages for 500,000 workers to $9 an hour last year, with plans to move it to $10 per hour, next month. The company also said new entry level workers hired after Jan. 1, 2016 would start at $9 per hour, but move to at least $10 an hour after completing a six-month training program. Then last June, Wal-Mart said it would raise starting wages for more than 100,000 U.S. department managers. Â
Senate panel: Ease school lunch limits WASHINGTON — School meals could become a bit tastier under legislation approved by a Senate committee. The bipartisan measure approved by a voice vote Wednesday is designed to help schools that say the Obama administration’s healthier meal rules are too restrictive. Leaders of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee introduced the legislation Monday after negotiating an agreement to ease requirements for whole grains and delaying a deadline to cut sodium levels. School lunch directors who have lobbied against the standards endorsed the deal, saying it would help them plan meals that are more appealing to students. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has backed it as well, saying the compromise maintains most of the healthier school meal rules that have been phased in since 2012. The rules set fat, sugar and sodium limits on foods in the lunch line and beyond. They require more whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Schools have long been required to follow government nutrition rules if they accept federal reimbursements for free and reducedprice meals for lowincome students, but the new standards are stricter.

Dad gets $250,000 bond in son’s death GREENWOOD — Bond for a father charged with first degree murder in the weekend shooting death of his son has been set at $250,000. The Greenwood Commonwealth reports 70-year-old James Clay Jr. remained in the Leflore County Jail as of Wednesday. Clay was booked Saturday in the death of 43yearold Freddy Lee Clay. It was unknown if Clay has an attorney who could comment on the case. The homicide is the city’s first this year. Â
Bob Dearing sworn in to state Senate JACKSON — Democrat Bob Dearing has been sworn in to the Mississippi Senate. The Natchez resident took office Wednesday after the Senate rejected a challenge by Republican Melanie Sojourner to his election. The Senate voted 47-3 on Monday to confirm Dearing’s victory in District 37, which covers all of Franklin County and parts of Adams, Amite and Pike counties. Sojourner, also a Natchez resident, claimed the November 2015 election was spoiled by misconduct at a polling place in Bude and by mishandling of absentee ballots in Adams County. Dearing served 32 years in the Senate before losing to Sojourner in 2011. Â
Firm settles lawsuit over explosion death PASCAGOULA — Court records show the wife of a man killed in a 2014 explosion at a fish-processing plant in Jackson County has settled a wrongful death-lawsuit. The Sun Herald reports Wednesday the undisclosed settlement is between Katlyn Taylor of the Big Point community and Omega Protein Inc. Her husband, 25-year-old Jerry Lee Taylor II, was welding on top of a metal storage tank when it exploded July 28, 2014, at the plant in Moss Point. He was thrown 100 feet and landed on another tank. He died, and three others were injured, one seriously.
According to the lawsuit, Jerry Taylor did not receive adequate warnings about flammable hydrogen and sulfide gases in the storage tank he was working on. His wife was seeking punitive and compensatory damages for wrongful death, pain and suffering, negligence and breach of contract. She was asking for a monetary award to cover burial and interment expenses and had demanded a jury trial. She estimated her husband’s lost future earning capacity at $1.4 million. The settlement was reached Thursday. Â
Embezzlement trial delayed for official
Business consultant released from prison
WIGGINS — The embezzlement trial for Jay Paul Gumm, former executive director of the Stone County Economic Development Partnership, has been delayed. The Sun Herald reports Gumm was to be on trial this week in Stone County Circuit Court. Prosecutors say the trial was postponed because his attorney was not available this week. It wasn’t clear if a new trial date has been set. Gumm was fired from the partnership after his arrest on an embezzlement charge Aug. 16, 2013. Â
BILOXI — An Ocean Springs business consultant and mayoral candidate has been released from federal prison after serving one year and almost two months for public corruption convictions. The Sun Herald reports Scott Walker and his wife, Trinity Ryals Walker, wore broad smiles in photos of themselves together posted Tuesday on their Facebook pages. Walker’s official release date is March 21, according to the Bureau of Prisons website. He was eligible for home detention as of Jan. 28, but a representative for the Bureau of Prisons could not provide any further information about the circumstances of his release. In July 2014, U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett sentenced Walker to 18 months in prison after Walker, 36, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government and fraud.

Chatty girlfriend needs to be quiet WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: I am a healthy, active, 68-yearold divorced man, still employed and productive. About a year ago, I met “Caroline,” a pleasant, generous, compatible woman, and have since enjoyed her company on a regular basis. We spent Christmas together in Europe. It was lovely. Unfortunately, there is one problem that drives me crazy: Caroline is a compulsive talker. It doesn’t matter if we’re in a movie theater, we’re watching a TV show or I’m trying to read the newspaper. She just starts yakking in my ear. I try to ignore it, but she goes right on. She doesn’t get the hint that I’m not interested in chatting at that precise moment. How do I tell her nicely to shut up for a while? — Patient But Tired Dear Patient: Might Caroline have a hearing problem? Is she insecure and believes she has to fill all the silences between you? The next time she does this, you should gently hold her hand and say, “Caroline, it would be nice for us to watch this show together. Can we talk when it’s over?” If she persists, you might ask her to see her doctor to have her hearing checked. Later,
Annie’s Mailbox when you have some peaceful time together, tell her how much you enjoy just spending quiet time in her company and how nice it is that the silence is comfortable. This will help reinforce the behavior you want. But make sure to pay attention to her when you are, in fact, having a conversation. Some people chatter endlessly because they feel that their words are being ignored. Dear Annie: You published that silly cost of the 12 days of Christmas and once again, eight maids a milking were being paid $58 — minimum wage for the past three years. This is so wrong! I milked cows on a dairy farm for 15 years, and let me tell you, it is a skilled occupation. I went to milking school. And it pays more than minimum wage. I was paid $12 when the federal minimum wage was $5.60. And what about the cost of those cows? Why isn’t that included? A dairy
cow costs at least $1,500, so eight of them — one for each maid — would be $12,000. However, if the gift-giver bought the cows, he would have to hire at least one milkmaid full time. This should be corrected. — Anne in Pennsylvania Dear Anne: We truly enjoyed your letter. We rarely hear from someone who worked as a milkmaid. And of course, how much the milkmaids receive each day would depend on how many hours they worked. Also, nothing in the song indicates that the gift-giver included cows. Only the maidsa-milking. Since the song was first published in 1780, we assume the recipient already had cows. The figures we printed came from the PNC Bank (originally the Provident National Bank in Philadelphia), which calculates maids-a-milking as unskilled labor, and thus they are paid minimum wage. We will be happy to pass along your claim that they are skilled labor and therefore entitled to more money. We’re still chuckling. Thank you so much for writing. You made our day.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for Crossroads Magazine Healthy Living edition coming out on Saturday, Jan. 30.
Couple’s future grows murkier after man has second thoughts D E A R ABBY: My boyfriend, “Jimmy,” and I have been together for two years. After about Abigail four months, of neVan Buren out cessity we moved in toDear Abby gether and it was great. Not long afterward I got a job two hours away. Since I moved, we get to see each other only every two or three weeks. The separation has been tough, but when we’re together, everything is perfect and all is right with the world. I feel we were fated to be together. Before the move, Jimmy and I often talked about marriage, and although I am not crazy about it, I knew it meant a lot to him, so I proposed (ring and all). He initially said yes, then sort of asked me to take back my proposal. Since then, he has been avoiding all discussions about our future, and I don’t know what to do. I’m willing to quit my job and go back to be with him, but I’m scared he’s going to get cold feet. Obviously, I’m hopelessly in love with him, but now I’m
feeling lost and confused. -- HOURS APART IN THE SOUTH DEAR HOURS APART: Please allow me to offer some clarity. Do not quit your job because if you do, you may find yourself not only without a job but also without a place to stay. When someone (man or woman) asks that a proposal be rescinded, it usually means the person feels he or she may have jumped the gun by saying yes. Jimmy is avoiding all discussion about your future because he doesn’t want one, and he’s afraid to say it directly because he knows it will hurt your feelings. For your own sake, have an honest conversation with him about this. It may be painful, but it will be better than living in limbo the way you are. As the saying goes, “When a door closes, another one opens.” DEAR ABBY: Last Friday was Grandparents’ Day at my kids’ preschool. My parents attended and were well-behaved for the most part, but then my mother made a faux pas. She asked one of the directors when her baby was due. Well, Abby, the woman isn’t pregnant. When I picked up my kids,
I had no idea what had happened. The director was having a conversation with one of the teachers when I walked in, so as usual I smiled and waved as I walked by. I did sense something was off when she didn’t respond, but I figured she was preoccupied. When we met my parents for dinner, my mother told me what happened. I am mortified. I managed to make it out of the preschool this morning without crossing paths with the director, but I’ll be seeing this woman for the next couple of years. What, if anything, do I say to her? -- HORRIFIED IN MICHIGAN DEAR HORRIFIED: You did nothing wrong, so stop avoiding the woman and behave as you usually do. IF you notice that she treats you differently, all you should say is: “I heard what happened with my mother, and I’d like to apologize for her behavior. As you can see, she sometimes puts her foot in her mouth, but we love her anyway.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Andy Warhol discovered new ways to use silk-screening. Duchamp discovered the high art in found objects. You’ll hit on your own amazingly specific discovery today to put a finer point on your “voice” in the world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The fastest way to gain the approval of others is not to need it or care about it in the least. An organic process will take you there. It starts with being a little more selfish. Are you up to it? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s flattering when someone is so impressed with you that he or she wants to show you off. Don’t let all that parading around take the life out of your smile or turn your wave automatic. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won’t have to get too creative to do your work in the best way possible. The normal methods will do. Efficiency will count for more than anything, and keep you within the budget, too.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Once you tell someone where you are going, there will be no turning back. Go on and mention what you plan to do along the way and with whom you will be sharing this adventure, and you’re as good as launched. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life has brought you to many a crossroads, but this time is different. It appears to be more of a dead end. You’ll have to cut through on foot for a while to get to the next obvious path. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes when you endeavor to re-cut it, re-shape it and keep whittling away at it until it’s right, it becomes too small to be workable. Don’t be afraid to start over. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Play around with formats that are entirely new. You may just find that you’re able to put your entire self into it and create something that is so perfectly “your thing.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). As long as you don’t let it stop you, frustration is actually a very useful emotion. It’s better than self-delusion -- that’s for sure. Frustration has a simple message: What you’re doing isn’t working. Now go find what will. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Things are getting better, and part of the reason is you, so go ahead and take the credit. Do it quickly and you’ll be relatively inconspicuous enough so as not to inspire jealousy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The new project is packed with potential. It’s safe, appropriate, necessary even to apply your fervor. A touch of madness will take this from “exciting” to “brilliant.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you take up too much room with your kindness and efforts to make the other person happy, there will no space left for reciprocation. Back off and let the other person come forward with a bigger effort.

COACHING CAROUSEL Cleveland Browns Fired: Mike Pettine Hired: Hue Jackson Jackson takes over the Browns after serving as offensive coordinator in Cincinnati for the last two seasons. Jackson was head coach of the Raiders in 2011, going 8–8. They haven’t had a winning season since. Miami Dolphins Fired: Joe Philbin Hired: Adam Gase Miami is betting that Gase can help Ryan Tannehill become the franchise quarterback they are paying him to be. Gase drew rave reviews from Peyton Manning in Denver before helping Jay Cutler put up a career-best passer rating in Chicago in 2015. New York Giants Resigned: Tom Coughlin Hired: Ben McAdoo Coughlin was forced out after a third straight losing season, but not much will change. McAdoo was promoted from his offensive coordinator post, and Steve Spagnuolo is expected to stay on to run the defense. Philadelphia Eagles Fired: Chip Kelly Hired: Doug Pederson The Eagles were interested in McAdoo before the Giants kept him in New York. They moved on to Pederson, a former Eagles assistant under Andy Reid who has been Kansas City’s offensive coordinator the last three seasons. San Francisco 49ers Fired: Jim Tomsula Hired: Chip Kelly Kelly was ďŹ red by the Eagles before the season ďŹ nale, but he was 10–6 in each of his ďŹ rst two seasons in Philadelphia. The 49ers hope he can breathe new life into quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
OUTSIDE THE HUDDLE We can only hope that the conference title games are as competitive as the Divisional Round turned out to be. For the ďŹ rst time since the 2003 season, all four second-round playoff games were decided by seven points or fewer. That postseason produced a Patriots-Panthers Super Bowl that came down to a late game-winning ďŹ eld goal, so history could still repeat this year. ... The NFL will return to Los Angeles next season for the ďŹ rst time since 1994. League owners voted 30–2 to approve St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s plan to move the team back to L.A. and build a new stadium in the Inglewood area of the city. That proposal won out over a joint Raiders-Chargers plan to build and share a stadium in Carson, Calif., but that doesn’t mean the Rams will have Los Angeles to themselves. The Chargers have a year to work out a deal with Kroenke to

share the Inglewood site, and the Raiders are next in line if the Bolts choose to stay in San Diego. Until the new project is complete, the Rams will play in the L.A. Coliseum, which was their home from 1946-79. ... Have we seen the last of Marshawn Lynch and Beast Mode in Seattle? It certainly seems likely. Lynch played in just seven games this season due to hamstring and abdomen ailments, and he has talked about retirement while battling back issues in past offseasons. Even when he was in the lineup, he averaged less than 4 yards per carry for the ďŹ rst time since 2010. He returned to face Carolina last week after missing eight games, but he was held to 20 yards on six carries. With Thomas Rawls (830 yards, 5.6 yards per carry in 13 games) expected to be fully healed from an ankle injury, the Seahawks and Lynch appear destined to part ways.
Fountain of youth In his 12th season, Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald had one of his best years, grabbing a career-high 109 passes for 1,215 yards and nine touchdowns. He stayed hot in the Divisional Round of the playoffs with 176 yards on eight catches, including a 75-yard catch-and-run in overtime that set up his game-winning 5-yard touchdown. After going six games without scoring, Fitzgerald now has touchdowns in three straight games. The veteran has always picked up his game in the playoffs: In eight postseason games, Fitzgerald has 53 catches for 912 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fired: Lovie Smith Hired: Dirk Koetter Afraid of losing Koetter and hurting the development of Jameis Winston, the Bucs ďŹ red Smith and promoted their offensive coordinator. Koetter tabbed former Falcons coach Mike Smith to run the defense. Tennessee Titans Fired: Ken Whisenhunt Hired: Mike Mularkey Mularkey went 2–7 after taking over for Whisenhunt, but the Titans liked him enough to give him the top job going forward. Including two seasons in Buffalo and one in Jacksonville, Mularkey’s career record is 18–39.

No need to wait until teams are decided to bet Super Bowl BY TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Writer
LAS VEGAS — Let the betting begin. The Super Bowl teams have yet to be determined, but that hasn’t stopped Las Vegas bookies from posting odds on the big game. Eager bettors can put their money down at several sports books on the four possible matchups, and some already have. It’s an early start for what most in the betting industry believe will be the biggest-bet Super Bowl ever. “We’ve always talked about putting them up early but never actually posted them,� said Jay
Kornegay, who runs the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook. “This year there was so much demand and curiosity we decided to make it official.� If the early action is any indication, the New England Patriots will draw a ton of money should they beat Denver on Sunday and make it to yet another Super Bowl. At the Westgate, the Patriots opened as 1-point favorites against either Carolina or Arizona. That’s assuming New England wins on the road at Denver, where the Patriots are a 3-point favorite on Sunday. New England is an even bigger favorite
for the Super Bowl at the South Point sports book, where lines were put up Wednesday with the Patriots 2-point favorites over Arizona and 1.1-2-point picks over Carolina. “I think we’ll be deluged with Patriot money,� said the South Point’s Jimmy Vaccaro. The other possible Super Bowl lines at the South Point have Arizona and Carolina both 3-point picks over Denver. Vaccaro said he would take up to $25,000 on each possible game, with bettors getting their money refunded if their matchup doesn’t happen. Books offering the early odds don’t expect to get
a lot of action on them. There are too many variables — like a blowout in the conference championships — that could make the actual lines quite different by the time they are posted sometime Sunday evening. “The Super Bowl is the one betting event where public money just rules,� Kornegay said. “And public perception is usually based on what they saw last.� William Hill oddsmaker Nick Bogdanovich said there might be some professional bettors who think they can get an edge with the early odds, but that they were mostly posted to
stir up more interest going into this weekend. Still, there has already been some action on the big game. “It’s a fair gamble for both us and the players,� Bogdanovich said. Assuming there are no blowouts Sunday and no major injuries, this will be a Super Bowl with a tight line. And usually a close spread helps generate more action than games that might look more lopsided. Bookies are counting on a big Super Bowl handle to cap a football season that has been solid if not spectacular for this city’s legal sports books. The handle for the en-
tire season is expected to break previous records, though a string of wins by favorites during the season means bookies won’t win as much as they would like. Last year about $116 million was bet legally on the Super Bowl, the second-highest handle ever. Most oddsmakers believe the increasing popularity of sports betting means that mark will be surpassed this year. “It’s an event that really reflects the popularity of the sport and the strength of the economy,� Kornegay said. “We expect this to be a record setting year for the Super Bowl.�

Warriors earn bye in 1-4A Tourney BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
PONTOTOC — The Corinth Warriors held enough of their 18-point, second-half lead. Corinth ended a threegame losing skid on Pontotoc’s home floor, earned no worse than a No. 2 seed in the Division 1-4A Tournament and produced the longest winning streak in 26 years with a 58-55 win over the host Warriors on Tuesday. Pontotoc (14-6, 2-3) trailed 50-33 after three quarters, but missed on a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the horn. Corinth, which surpassed
the 17-game streak by the 1989-90 state champion club, had lost two straight to Pontotoc on the road and also lost a triple-overtime North Half Tournament quarterfinal game to Greenwood in Feb. 2014. CHS (19-1, 8-0) swept the season series with Pontotoc. The Warriors have league games remaining at Itawamba and home against Shannon. Corinth missed seven of its nine attempts from the line -- including front ends of three one-and-one opportunities -- and had the bulk of its 14 turnovers in the fourth to aid Pontotoc’s cause.
Antares Gwyn, who had 16 points, made 2-of-4 from the line in the waning minute. The first make made it a two-possession game, and the final 1-of-2 showing forced Pontotoc to attempt a three-pointer to tie the game. Tada Stricklen tied Gwyn for team honors with 16. He had half of Corinth’s eight 3-pointers, including two buzzer-beating banks at the end of the first and second quarters. Dee Brown added 12 off the bench. The 1988-89 club won its final 28 games. The longest winning streak
overall is 36 -- 28 in 1989-90 and 8 in 1989-90. • In the opener, Corinth won the odd quarters 29-14, but were outscored 41-12 in the even ones. Corinth (10-8, 5-3) managed just two points in the fourth quarter after taking a 39-38 lead after three. Pontotoc (14-6, 3-2) swept the season series, which could come back to hurt the Lady Warriors in hopes off landing a No. 2 seed. Aundrea Adams led Corinth with 15 points and was the lone Lady Warrior to mark in the final quarter. Please see WARRIORS | 16

Aggies begin 1-3A slate with easy win BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The last team to enter Division 1-3A play came away the winner. Kossuth split its league contests with Belmont on Tuesday, with the Aggies closing the night with a 75-50 win. Rick Hodum tallied a gamehigh 28 as Kossuth ran its mark to 12-8 overall and 1-0 in division play. Belmont dropped to 0-3 in conference games. Kennedy Dye followed with 15 and Dylan Mercer
and T.J. Essary also reached double figures with 14 and 13, respectively. Kossuth led 23-9 after one and 39-27 at the break. Unofficially, Hodum is now 23 points shy of the 1,600mark in his career. • In the opener, Belmont earned its first league win in three starts, edging Kossuth 65-60. Kossuth (10-10, 0-1) led 33-31 at the break. Belmont (12-7, 1-2) used a 19-14 advantage in the third to take a 55-47 lead heading into the
fourth. Morgan Hodum led Kossuth with 15 points. Jade Barnes followed with 14 and Kaylee Bonds added 12. • Biggersville swept its home Division 1-1A contests with Jumpertown. The Lady Lions got a gamehigh 22 points, including six 3-pointers, from Serra Hinton, in topping the Lady Cardinals 51-44. Tyleshia Davis and Jada Tubbs scored 11 each for BHS, which improved to 116, 5-0.
Jaylon Powell’s 18 paced five Lions in double figures as BHS avenged its only league loss with an 88-65 decision in the nightcap. Dalton Hanna scored a game-high 33 points for the Cardinals, which fell to 10-10, 3-1. Cameron Barnett added 14 points for the Lions.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari and his Kentucky Wildcats face a major challenge: Find a way to stop getting bullied before the heralded squad drops completely out of the Top 25. The Wildcats have tumbled to No. 23 in the rankings after rising to No. 1 on Nov. 23. They’ve trailed by large margins, blown double-digit leads and along the way lost
some of the intimidation opponents once felt when playing big, bad Kentucky. There’s still time for Kentucky to correct things, but Calipari says the time is now. “Whatever is holding you back from high-energy play, you gotta figure it out,” Calipari said earlier this week. “We’re facing teams that are playing like their lives depend on it. We’ve got to be a desperate team also.”
The Wildcats (13-4, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) are looking up at several teams in the standings and their fervent fan base is wondering if these Wildcats are similar to the 2012-13 team that missed the NCAA Tournament or the squad that followed a year later. Kentucky stumbled into the 2014 NCAA Tournament as a No. 8 seed but found its resolve and reached the cham-
pionship game. The hope is this team will eventually jell as well — sooner than later. “We just have to play games the way we play in practice,” said freshman guard Jamal Murray, Kentucky’s top scorer at 17.8 points per game. “It comes down to how much we want it as a team, and how well we jell together.” Developing a strong, conPlease see IMPROVE | 16
Muschamp works to stem recruiting slide at SC The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Will Muschamp has managed to climb out of the large recruiting hole he inherited when he took the South Carolina job last month. Two weeks before signing day, there are several signs the new coach has calmed the uncertainty stemming from Steve Spurrier’s abrupt midseason resignation and the unsettled Gamecocks coach-
ing situation at the end of the season. Muschamp secured an early enrollment from quarterback Brandon McIlwain, who had nearly two dozen football offers was considered a first-round selection in next spring’s Major League Baseball draft. He shored up the pledge of talented in-state receiver Bryan Edwards, who decommitted last year and took a visit to Clemson before
enrolling with the Gamecocks this month. The coach also received a commitment to play from highly sought linebacker T.J. Brunson, a one-time Louisville commit who Muschamp visited at nearby Richland Northeast High School a short time after his introductory press conference last month. “It’s the season of the year for us,” Muschamp said. “Re-
cruiting is every day.” The Gamecocks had slipped in recruiting the past couple of seasons since a run of three straight 11-2 seasons between 2011-13. Eight players in the 2015 recruiting class decommitted, and things started to spiral down after Spurrier’s announcement and interim coach Shaw Elliott and South Carolina finished the season Please see MUSCHAMP | 16

sistent post presence one of the first steps they must take. Freshman Skal Labissiere (7.7 points, 3.2 rebounds) was expected to fill that role but has been outmuscled on both ends and often looked unwilling to mix it up. The 6-foot-11 Haitian played just eight minutes in Saturday’s 75-70 loss at Auburn — Kentucky blew a 12-point, second-half lead against the Tigers— and forced 6-8 senior forward Alex Poythress and 6-9 junior Marcus Lee to handle the load inside. Though Poythress is the more physical of those two, he’s undersized; and both players have been susceptible to fouls. Labissiere said Wednesday that practicing against Lee, 7-foot Australian Isaac Humphries and 6-10 New Zealand newcomer Tai Wynyard has made them all better. “My confidence is coming back up,” Labissiere said. Kentucky’s bright spot has been a guard-oriented lineup led by sopho-
more floor leader Tyler Ulis (14.4 points, 6.1 assists), freshman Isaiah Briscoe (10.7) and Murray. Good as that guard trio has been, former player Winston Bennett believes the Wildcats need a post option if they hope to go deep in postseason. And given their current inside struggles, he said it’s time to play Humphries and Wynyard more. “You’ve got to put those guys in the fire at some point and see what they can do,” Bennett said. “At the very least, they give you five fouls (each). They’re big bodies, so they can hold post position where Skal can’t, Alex can’t or Lee can’t.” Whatever Calipari’s strategy Calipari, Kentucky needs to quickly embrace it. In league filled with opponents hungry to exploit Kentucky’s vulnerabilities, the Wildcats must adapt better to hostile environments such as Arkansas’ Bud Walton Arena, the site of Thursday night’s SEC matchup against the Razorbacks (9-8, 3-2).

3-9. Muschamp let his coaching staff know the slide had to stop. “Recruiting is about hard work, dedicating much of your day to it, dedicating a bunch of what you do to it,” said co-offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon. “And that starts from the head guy down.” Muschamp had a sense of urgency from the start. The former Florida coach did not stick around for much backslapping and hand shaking after his introduction as Steve Spurrier’s successor on Dec. 7. He took off to see prospects with newly hired running backs coach Bobby Bentley. The rest of his assistants are also well versed in recruiting for in the Southeastern Conference. ■ Defensive coordinator Travaris Robinson was at Florida and Auburn under Muschamp. ■ McClendon worked
with Mark Richt at Georgia and was the Bulldogs’ interim coach when Richt was dismissed. ■ Assistant head Lance Thompson worked on national championship teams with Nick Saban at LSU and Alabama before joining Muschamp in guiding Auburn’s defense last season. Thompson was named the nation’s top recruiter on the Ultimate ESPN 300 recruiting power rankings in 2014. Muschamp also added staffers with area connections. Longtime SEC assistant Ellis Johnson, who helped recruit Jadeveon Clowney in 2011, is not on Muschamp’s coaching staff but is helping organize recruiting efforts. “We think we’ve got people who know what they’re doing,” Muschamp said. Plus, a group that meshes well, McClendon said. “Everybody here is team guys and that’s going to trickle down to the players,” he said.

New Titans GM pleads for patience Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans’ new general manager made a passionate plea for patience Monday as he takes over a franchise at its lowest point in more than 30 years with a head coach getting his third chance in the NFL in Mike Mularkey. “This is my home, and you guys are my family,” said Jon Robinson, a Union City, Tennessee native. “I’ve been a Titan fan ever since ‘97 when this football team moved here. We’re going to build this team the right way. All decisions that we make will be made in the best interest of this team, your football team. Please let us earn your support.” Robinson became emotional wrapping up the Titans’ nearly hour-long news conference Monday introducing both the new general manager and Mularkey, who had the interim tag removed Saturday. Robinson talked about how he learned the value of
hard work watching his father take care of a 10-acre farm in West Tennessee while working more than 30 years at a tire factory. Trying to make a personal connection with fans can only help the new general manager trying to revive a franchise that has gone an NFL-worst 5-27 the past two seasons in this team’s worst two-year stretch since 1983-84 in Houston. The number of empty seats keeps growing with only one winning record in the past seven seasons and the last playoff victory in January 2004. Robinson has final roster control, the No. 1 pick overall in the April draft, the No. 2 pick in last year’s draft in quarterback Marcus Mariota and more than $20 million in salary cap space to start rebuilding. Now he gets the chance to prove what he learned working in New England for 12 years and Tampa Bay the past two seasons. “It really feels good to be home,” Robinson said.
He will be working with a coach in Mularkey who has an 18-39 record as a head coach in stops at Buffalo, Jacksonville and his interim stint replacing Ken Whisenhunt on Nov. 3. The decision to hire Mularkey after the Titans interviewed three other candidates — announced during New England’s divisional playoff win over Kansas City — has angered fans wanting a fresh face as coach. Mularkey is just 4-21 over his past 25 games, and he refused to talk Monday about what went wrong in Buffalo or Jacksonville. He defended himself as a good coach and noted other coaches have won when given another chance. Mularkey said he’s thrilled at getting a fresh start with the Titans after being put in a tough position over the final nine weeks of the season. “I’m going to surround myself with people that have the same feelings that I do, the same beliefs,
the same coaching style and these guys know what they’re getting, the players know. They saw me for nine weeks. They know what they’re getting.” Mularkey said he learned a lot during those final nine weeks. He said he saw a lot of things that need changing that he couldn’t at the time. “It’s not like starting brand new,” Mularkey said. “I know what changes need to be made, and fortunately, I get a chance to change them.” Mularkey plans to make changes on offense and special teams with “multiple” coaching changes coming. He’s also busy interviewing, hiring and evaluating; offensive coordinator Jason Michaels is staying on staff as quarterbacks coach to work with Mariota. Continuity with Mariota was one reason cited by the Titans in their hiring of Mularkey, and he said his offense will be “user-friendly” with more streamlined language.
