Board assesses mechanical issues BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors is ordering an assessment of some of the ongoing mechanical issues such as problems with the HVAC system at the justice center and

correctional facility. The board on Tuesday voted to retain Johnson Controls of Memphis, Tenn., to conduct the assessment, which will examine the HVAC function and design, the boilers and production of hot water, the chillers and pro-

duction of cold water, and the internal controls for a building automated system. The cost is not to exceed $5,000. The latest problem is malfunctioning chillers after three water coils froze and burst. The estimated repair cost is

$23,800. Board President Lowell Hinton said it appears the workers did not install the protective housings which are designed to shield the coils from the elements. The county has also identified several other issues in the facil-

CACVB denies Kiwanis’ request

Minister retires after more than 50 years of service BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

A Corinth pastor who has become an inspiration to many and known for his compassionate heart, easy-going nature and gentle spirit, has decided to switch from the pulpit to the pew. Ted Avant, minister of Waldron Street Christian Church, has retired after more than 50 years of service. “He’s meant a lot to us,” said Judy Glenn, longtime member of WSCC. “Our church has benefited from his service.” Glenn’s family has attended the church since the late 1970s. Her children were baptized by Avant and he also conducted her daughter’s wedding. Her fondest memory of Avant was watching him sing and interact with the children during Bible study. “He was so animated with his motions and he had this great big smile on his face,” said Glenn. “He was singing, ‘Gray squirrel ... gray squirrel ... shake your bushy tail.’” She characterized him as a “good listener” who has had a “calming effect” on others. “We’ve watched Ted and Marie and observed the way they’ve lived in front of us,” said Glenn. “They have always been patient, kind and loving toward family and us.” Avant will be deeply missed by his congregation and friends at WSCC. “He’s a great preacher and a good man,” said lifetime member Frank Berry. “I’m sorry that he had to retire.” William McMullin, director of the Northeast Regional Library, described the pastor as a man who loves to sing. “When leading the men of the

The Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau board got back to business. In its first meeting of 2014, the seven-person board denied the lone funding request in a light agenda. A $500 request from the Corinth Kiwanis Club for its father/daughter ball failed for not falling under the funding criteria of the board. “It’s a great event for Corinth, but it’s not a tourist attraction,” said board president Russell Smith. “The ball is one of the best events in the area … the question I have is where are the

people who will eat at restaurants and stay in hotels?” asked board member Ricky James. Judy Glenn, representing the Kiwanis Club, told the board prior to the vote the club had looked at going outside the area before deciding to stay at the Crossroads Arena for a second year. “We want to be part of what makes the arena succeed,” she said of the venue which will host the event on Saturday. “We want others to see it as something other than a big metal box.” Glenn said 748 had already registered for the event with Please see KIWANIS | 2

Farmington decides to go smoke-free BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

FARMINGTON — Farmington leaders voted Tuesday to go smoke free. In the first meeting of the year, the Farmington Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to pass a new ordinance for a citywide ban on smoking. “All businesses within the city will be smoke-free,” said Mayor Dale Fortenberry. “That is for all kinds of smoking, including electronic cigarettes.” The board said smokers would have to be at least 15 feet from a business entrance to smoke.

Farmington is one of more than 65 cities in the state to go smoke-free. The City of Corinth voted to go smoke-free in November 2007, while Rienzi city officials voted to ban smoking in January 2011. Some lawmakers have been pushing for a statewide ban on smoking for several years. The Farmington board addressed another ordinance during the meeting. “The street solicitation ordinance would prevent charitable street solicitors who want to stand in street intersections Please see FARMINGTON | 3

Bluegrass musician Freddie ‘Boy’ Burns turns 100 on Feb. 1 BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

Northeast Mississippi Bluegrass will honor Booneville native Freddie “Boy” Burns with a 100th birthday celebration Saturday beginning at 11:30 a.m. at the old Booneville Hardware building in downtown Booneville. The public is invited to attend. Burns became a successful musician and singer in the 1940s on Memphis radio at WHBQ-56. He formed his own band with some of the best musicians and singers in the South. Long retired, he now resides in Walnut with his niece, Margie Potts. He formerly lived in Selmer, Tenn., and Corinth, where he was a fixture at Pickin’ on the Square. He was the cover photo

for the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Visitors’ Guide for 2011-12. Burns, who was born in Booneville in 1914, will observe his 100th birthday Feb. 1. His parents were John Burns and Sudie McElroy Burns. His dad was the cotton compress manager in charge of weights and measurements of cotton. This was an elected position in Booneville at the time. Freddie “Boy” Burns has enjoyed attending the Northeast Mississippi Bluegrass shows over the years and about five years ago even sang with Wayne Jerrolds during the Bean Fest in downtown Booneville. He still has relatives in the Booneville area. He began his radio career in 1930 in Jackson, Miss., at a sta-

tion located across the street from the Governor’s Mansion and became personal friends with Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo, who tried to talk him into going into politics. Burns wasn’t interested. It was his job delivering telegraphs as a bicycle messenger for Western Union in Jackson which led to radio. One day his boss heard him playing guitar, singing and yodeling and his boss happened to know the program director at a Jackson radio station. Burns auditioned and was offered a 15-minute radio program. Later he would work in Memphis for Western Union. Burns went to work full-time in radio in 1938 and has been described as being recognized as one of the best guitarists in

Unemployment House reverses decision on tax break falls in McNairy The Associated Press

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

McNairy County’s unemployment level has dropped to one of the lowest levels in the state following the release of the November figures by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The county now has a jobless rate of 11.3 percent, less than one percent from being the second highest in the state. McNairy County is bunched together at the bottom of the state’s unemployment numbers with three other West Tennessee counties. McNairy County had a labor force of 10,380 in November and 9,210 of those had jobs. This left 1,170 potential workers without work. A bit of good news is the county’s jobless rate in November had 0.6 percent from the 11.9 percent

unemployed in October. The county’s November rate in 2013 was 2.0 percent higher than in the same month of 2012 when it was 9.3 percent. Tennessee had a majority of 74 counties with an unemployment rate between 5.0 percent and 10.0 percent in November and just 21 counties with a rate of over 10.0 percent. Williamson County had the lowest jobless rate in Tennessee at 5.0 percent and Scott County had the highest unemployment in the state at 15.7 percent. The state unemployment rate is seasonally adjusted while the county unemployment rates are not. Seasonal adjustment is a statistical technique that eliminates the influences of weather, holidays, the opening and closing of schools, and other recurring seasonal events from economic time series.

SUPERVISORS

JACKSON — Hours after a House committee passed a costly bill to increase property tax exemptions for homeowners, House leaders killed it. House Bill 36 would have increased homestead exemptions from $300 to $360 each year. It was sent back to die in the Ways and Means Committee on a voice vote. “We just can’t afford it,� House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, told The Associated Press of the $69 million price tag. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jeff Smith, R-Columbus, said approving the bill could endanger one of Gunn’s signature 2014 priorities, an across-the-board pay raise for public school teachers. Any significant teacher pay raise would costs tens of millions of dollars. “It would jeopardize

the teacher pay raise,� Smith said after the decision was made to kill the bill. “It’s too rich for our blood.� Over the two years since Republicans took control of the House of Representatives, giving them control of both houses of the Legislature and the governor’s office, the state has approved tens of millions in tax breaks. The Department of Revenue counted 11 tax breaks granted by the Legislature in 2013. But some members, including House Appropriations Committee Chairman Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, have warned that increasing tax breaks are hurting the Legislature’s ability to pay for state functions. That tension was evident Wednesday in the Ways and Means Committee. Rep. Steve Holland, D-Plantersville, asked Smith to keep a

running tally of all the tax breaks on a chalkboard in the Ways and Means meeting room. “It looks like to me, in today’s deliberation, we’ve already taken $69 million off the table,� Holland said, saying that would hurt efforts to fund the teacher pay increase. After the meeting, Holland noted the bill’s passage in pink chalk, writing that it was a “raid� on the state’s general fund. Frierson, after it was announced that the bill would be killed, said he expected less conflict in 2014 between tax cuts and funding state services. He said he didn’t play any part in rejecting the measure In the bill, the first $75,000 in value of a home owned by people older than 65 would have been exempted from taxes, up from the first $60,000. Seniors who are also dis-

abled would have seen their exemption rise to $90,000 of value from $75,000. The state is spending $81.1 million to pay for the current homestead exemptions this year, but it would cost $87.8 million to fully fund the tax breaks, meaning counties and school districts are absorbing about 8 percent of the cost. Lawmakers had recommended increasing the amount to $84.5 million in the 2015 budget before discussions of increasing the amount began. County supervisors warned tax rates would rise if lawmakers didn’t contribute enough to make up for lost revenue to counties and school districts. “The reality is, if they don’t fully fund it, the counties and the school districts are out that reimbursement,� Jackson County Supervisor Mike Mangum said.

work out the solutions with the appropriate contractors and architect. The county has also faced an ongoing problem with leaking water heaters. In other business, Tax Collector Larry Ross and former Booneville alderman Bobby Goddard sought the board’s blessing on their hope to get the field at the Tiger Stadium at Northeast Mississippi Community College named Veterans Memorial Field. Goddard said veterans were involved in building a number of the college’s facilities through a work program in the 1940s, and he wants to see their contributions recognized. “We can make right what has been ignored for a long time,� he said. “Me and a bunch of veterans will be eternally grateful.� Board members said they support the idea but took no action. Hinton encouraged the two to approach the college’s board of trustees.

80-100 of those expected to attend from out of town. “A lot of growth is coming from outside the area,â€? said the Kiwanis member. “The event has become a gathering time for people ‌ it’s a special day for children and that translates into dollars.â€? Proceeds from the father/ daughter ball go back into the community, according to Glenn. “It goes back into numerous things for children,â€? she said. The board discussed granting a lesser amount for the first-time request before voting to deny the application. “Do we give anything that isn’t a tourist event?â€? asked tourism director Christy

Burns. “I don’t see how we can do this one,� added board member Laura Albright. Under the funding criteria of the tourism board, the greatest consideration in awarding funds will be given to events – projects, events conferences, tournaments and conventions – based on the following. 1. Ability to make significant economic impact from out of town. 2. Ability to draw a significant number of participants from out of town. Additional preference will be given to: multiple-day events, first time events and events with sponsorships from other sources, financial or human resources. For-profit and private entities are ineligible for fund-

ing. Also ineligible are events giving political gain to an organization or individuals, or to those events which already been completed. All events must take place in Corinth or Alcorn County. In other business, Crossroads Arena General Manager Tammy Genovese was on hand to update the board on the happenings at the facility. “It has been a great year,â€? said Genovese. “I have been working on all of us having the same goals ‌ seeing what works and what doesn’t.â€? The general manager presented the board a zip code analysis of six shows held at the multi-purpose facility over the past year. The data showed most people attending the facility

for events are coming from outside the Corinth area. In all but one of the events, the biggest crowd percentage came from other towns in Mississippi and Tennessee. “The challenge is trying to get people in Corinth to the arena,� said Genovese. A Castings Crowns event in October was the highest attended with a total attendance of 2,321. Travis Tritt drew 2,108 with the “Duck Dynasty� visit of Willie and John Luke Robertson drawing 1,964 during the Alcorn County Fair. Tracy Lawrence took in 1,607, Don Williams had 1,125 at his show and Charlie Daniels totaled 1,082 in August. Tourism board members Danny Timmons and Pauline Sorrell were absent

day, one of the highlights is expected to be when Freddie “Boy� Burns himself takes the stage to play and sing at 1:30. A story published in The McNairy County News in June 2012, written by Laquita Ingle, tells how he formed his own band, Freddie Burns and the Ranch Boys, later known as Freddie Burns’ Western Theater on WHBQ Channel 13 in Memphis. Described as having a big smile and charismatic manner, his unique or-

chestration style of guitar playing set him apart from others, Ingle wrote. It is said Burns, who was living in Decatur, Ala., at the time, got his first guitar when he was 15 and taught himself to play. “With his country swing band, Freddie Burns and the Ranch Boys had their WHBQ radio show in Memphis picked up by Mutual Broadcasting in 1949. Invitations from the Grand Ole Opry and a request from Hollywood that would have involved making movies with Gene Autry were turned down.

The band chose making a comfortable living while working closer to home,� Ingle wrote. “Friends are astounded at the clarity of his mind as he delights them with little known stories of those musicians with whom he was associated over the years. Mentions of Elvis Presley, Eddy Arnold, Sonny James, Dewey Phillips and many others prompt personal anecdotes that he is happy to share with his listeners,� Ingle wrote. In a story by Jeff Whitten published in The Independent Appeal in Selmer, Tenn., when Burns was 98, the Booneville native noted Presley used to sing with Burns’ band and was once scheduled to appear on Burns’ radio show. Elvis had just recorded “Blue Moon of Kentucky� and “That’s All Right, Mama� but was not yet famous. On the night he was scheduled to appear on Burns’ radio show, Presley called and said, “I can’t come tonight. It’s raining and my mama’s afraid I’ll get a cold.�

Freddie ‘Boy’ Burns was the person featured on the cover of the Corinth Visitors’ Guide in 2011-12 when he lived in Corinth and attended Pickin’ on the Square. “His mama, Gladys, really took care of Elvis,� Burns told The Independent Appeal. Burns’ band played as a guest on the Grand Ole Opry and the band was invited to play there permanently.

“The Grand Ole Opry was all right but it was too much traveling,� Burns told The Independent Appeal in explaining why he turned the Opry down. “We were not really looking for stardom. We were looking for bacon

and eggs,� Burns told the Tennessee newspaper. At various times Burns played on WNBR, WREG and WMC radio in Memphis and after television began broadcasting, the band also played there. One of his band members was Sonny James Loden, who later hit it big as Sonny James with such hits as “Young Love,� according to a story written by Bill Wagoner. He noted in his heyday Burns dressed in western attire complete with a big white hat and two pearl handled 45s because it was the era of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. The public has a special invitation to attend the 100th birthday celebration for Freddie “Boy� Burns Saturday and enjoy a day filled with music, food and musical memories.

Today in history Today is Thursday, Jan. 23, the 23rd day of 2014. There are 342 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 23, 1964, the 24th Amendment to the United States Constitution, eliminating the poll tax in federal elections, was ratified as South Dakota became the 38th state to endorse it.

On this date: In 1789, Georgetown University was established in present-day Washington, D.C. In 1845, Congress decided all national elections would be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. In 1932, New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. In 1933, the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the so-called “Lame Duck Amendment,” was ratified as Missouri approved it. In 1937, 17 people went on trial in Moscow during Josef Stalin’s “Great Purge.” (All were convicted of conspiracy; all but four were executed.) In 1944, Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (”The Scream”) died near Oslo at age 80. In 1950, the Israeli Knesset approved a resolution affirming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In 1960, the U.S. Navy-operated bathyscaphe Trieste carried two men to the deepest known point in the Pacific Ocean, reaching a depth of more than 35,000 feet. In 1964, Arthur Miller’s play “After the Fall,” widely regarded as a thinly-disguised account of Miller’s failed marriage to Marilyn Monroe, opened in New York. In 1968, North Korea seized the Navy intelligence ship USS Pueblo, charging its crew with being on a spying mission. (The crew was released 11 months later.) In 1973, President Richard Nixon announced an accord had been reached to end the Vietnam War, and would be formally signed four days later in Paris. In 1989, surrealist artist Salvador Dali died in his native Figueres, Spain, at age 84. Ten years ago: The Illinois Supreme Court upheld former Gov. George Ryan’s powers to commute sentences, keeping 32 spared inmates off death row. The enduring situation comedy “Friends” filmed its final episode in front of an invitation-only audience. Bob Keeshan, TV’s “Captain Kangaroo,” died in Windsor, Vt., at age 76. Five years ago: President Barack Obama quietly ended the Bush administration’s ban on giving federal money to international groups that performed abortions or provided information on the option. New York Gov. David Paterson chose Democratic Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand to fill the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Arnold seeks death of children’s rapists BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian. com

As a minister State Rep. Tracy Arnold has seen first hand the devastating impact of childhood sexual abuse. The senior pastor at Booneville’s Vineyard Church said counseling with those who have suffered this abuse has shown him the lifelong emotional wounds victims carry with them. “It really hurts the people deep. It changes lives. Something needs to be done about it,” he said Arnold is seeking to address the issue during the current session of the state legislature with a bill that would extend and speed up the death penalty for those committing the crime against the youngest victims. Arnold’s bill would require the death penalty for anyone 21 years old or older who rapes a child 10 years old or younger if DNA evidence proves the suspect’s guilt. The bill would also create an expedited execution process requiring the death penalty to be implemented as quickly as possible. “I think it will be a

strong deterr e n t because the end result is a real penalty,” said Arnold. T h e Arnold Republican state representative said he and his colleagues in Jackson are busy addressing a wide range of issues at the 2014 legislative session, including education funding, changes to entitlement programs including food stamps and Medicaid, public safety issues and more. At the top of the Republican agenda is an effort to raise pay for the state’s teachers. Arnold said he’s confident some form of a teacher pay raise will pass this year and the governor has indicated he would support such a measure. The representative said the issue is one of fairness and teacher retention. He said the state continues to lose some of its highest quality teachers to surrounding states who offer better pay. This brain drain hurts the state’s students and an effort must

be made to provide educators with a fair wage. “We need to retain the best and the brightest and keep them in our state,” he said. He also wants to see an increase in funding for the state’s community colleges. The colleges have sought per-student funding at a mid-level between the funding for K-12 education and the funding for the state’s universities. Arnold said he supports a move toward mid-level funding and wants to see community colleges receive at least 50 percent of the mid-level figure if at all possible. A potential expansion of the Medicaid program took much of the spotlight last year and Arnold said he expects to see some form of Medicaid expansion considered again this session. He doesn’t think an expansion effort will be successful, but believes the only form it could take that would be likely to pass would be something that takes the federal funds allocated for expansion and places them into the private sector in some form of subsidy for coverage. The house recently passed a bill requiring drug tests for those re-

ceiving benefits under TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), better known as the Food Stamp program. The bill now moves on to the senate for further consideration. Governor Phil Bryant has indicated he will sign it if it reaches his desk. Arnold said he’s a strong supporter of the concept and noted many people are required to take drug tests in order to work. He said he sees no difference in requiring testing for those receiving public assistance. The representative said the house bill is based on Utah law that hasn’t been challenged in federal court and carefully follows all federal guidelines, so he believes it would stand up in court if approved. As a member of the House Transparency Committee, Arnold said he’s focused on making government more accountable to the citizens. One bill being considered would require detailed accounting of spending from inmate welfare funds which are generated at the state’s prisons through sales at the canteen and fees from phone calls.

He also plans to introduce a bill requiring insurance companies to list in detail increases in premiums due to the Affordable Care Act. Arnold is also seeking to add a fee to those charged with driving under the influence of $300 per offense with the funds going to the fire department or departments in the jurisdiction where the crime is committed to fund the purchase of rescue equipment such as the Jaws of Life and other gear. “They should be paying for the equipment needed to fix the tragedies they cause,” he said. One effort Arnold is strongly against is a potential push to increase the per-gallon tax on gasoline in the state. He said he expects to see an effort to boost the tax to fund road improvements, but believes the increase could have a devastating impact on the state’s economy. He said raising the cost of gas would directly impact those who must commute to go to work as well as cause prices to rise on almost every product purchased as the increased costs of transportation are passed along to consumers.

Explosion caused fire at New Albany biodiesel plant The Associated Press

JACKSON — A fire burning Wednesday at a biodiesel facility in north Mississippi began with an early morning explosion, according to authorities, who said no injuries have been reported and the cause remains under investigation. Union County Emergency Management Director Curt Clayton said Wednesday that two workers escaped without injuries at the time of the explosion near New Albany around 6 a.m. He said there was a second, though smaller, blast on Wednesday afternoon. The explosion and fire shut down a highway, damaged a power sub-

station that knocked out electricity to parts of Tippah County and caused the evacuation of one home and two industrial businesses, authorities said. Clayton said the fire at North Mississippi Biodiesel near New Albany could burn into the night, and officials plan to let it burn out. The company makes biodiesel fuel, and that is what is believed to be on fire, Clayton said. The blaze has died down some, “but it’s still big enough that we’re not sending anybody up there,” Clayton said Wednesday afternoon. David L. Franks, listed as North Mississippi

Biodiesel’s vice president in documents filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office, declined to answer any questions when contacted Wednesday by The Associated Press. The company was incorporated in 2005, according to secretary of state’s office records. Clayton said the company has the appropriate permits and “are as legal as they can be.” North Mississippi Biodiesel agreed to pay a $1,500 penalty in 2011 for violations that included failing to perform a “stack emission test” within 180 days of initial startup; failing to perform weekly inspections; failing to submit semi-annual reports;

and failure to follow all regulatory requirements related to standards of performance for equipment leaks, according to Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality documents. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said the environment department had teams in the area Wednesday to test for hazardous materials that may leave the site, but have not detected any so far. Damage to the substation caused a power outage to the town of Blue Mountain and surrounding areas in Tippah County, including Blue Mountain College. The electricity was restored,

MEMA said. Phil Nanney, executive director of the Union County Development Association, said the business is “relatively small operation” with about five employees. He said a church daycare center near the plant asked parents to keep their children home Wednesday as a precaution. “A large plume of smoke could be seen from several miles away,” Nanney said in a telephone interview. The plant is located in northeast Mississippi, near New Albany, a town of about 8,000 people, on Highway 15, which remained closed to traffic on Wednesday afternoon.

cares about them physically and spiritually,” said McMullin. “He continued to preach while undergoing chemotherapy in 2012 and 2013.” “Because of his health issues and family tragedies he has achieved a great empathy for those who are sick or bereaved,” he added. The director reflected on the ways that Avant has supported him in his personal endeavors. “He encourages volunteers to use their talents for the church, which certainly included me,” McMullin said. “He has supported my

abilities as a volunteer pianist, teacher and story teller.” “He has been a positive influence on many people in Corinth as well as all around the country and around the globe,” said McMullin. “He has been a minister who is generous with his time and supportive of those who work with him.” “Bro. Avant is a gentle man, who focuses on God’s will for his life and truly wants everyone to “Shine their light and shake their salt,” added the WSCC pianist. “I’ve had a good time,” said Avant as he reflected on his more than 30 years serving at the church. “I

may be retiring, but I’ll still be here.” A retirement celebra-

tion in his honor was held Jan. 19 at the church. Without a doubt, Bro.

Avant’s absence at the pulpit will be felt by those who know and love him.

Engineer Ricky Newcomb presented a new set of property easement maps to the board. The city will use the remaining $61,000 of EPA Region 4 grant money. The grant, given to the city as part of the Small Municipal and Limited Population Counties Grant Program, will help cover the costs of adding homes to the city’s sewer system.

“We are going to be able to add an additional 12 to 14 homes to the sewer system,” said Newcomb. “The homes will be on the east end of Farmington Road.” Newcomb said the city will advertise for bids in March. Alderman Jeff Patterson brought concern to the board about loose dogs and chickens in his neighborhood.

“My neighbors are killing me about this,” said Patterson. “Something has got to be done.” There are four or five black dogs with no collars or tags that were apparently “dropped off” sometime after Christmas around Country Road 238, Patterson added. “We have been out there and haven’t seen any chickens, but we’ll go

back and watch until they show up” said Farmington Police Chef Tommy Holmes. “We’re take care of it as soon as possible.” Patterson said these dogs are aggressive and “very hard to catch.” The next board meeting is scheduled for Feb. 18 at 6 p.m. at the Farmington City Hall on Farmington Road. The public is welcome to attend.

Corinth, Miss.

Fact-free liberals: Part III Since this year will mark the 50th anniversary of the “war on poverty,” we can expect many comments and commemorations of this landmark legislation in the development of the American welfare state. Thomas The actual signing of the Sowell “war on poverty” legislation took place in August 1964, so Columnist the 50th anniversary is some months away. But there have already been statements in the media and in politics proclaiming that this vast and costly array of anti-poverty programs “worked.” Of course everything “works” by sufficiently low standards, and everything “fails” by sufficiently high standards. The real question is: What did the “war on poverty” set out to do — and how well did it do it, if at all? Without some idea of what a person or a program is trying to do, there is no way to know whether what actually happened represented a success or a failure. When the hard facts show that a policy has failed, nothing is easier for its defenders than to make up a new set of criteria, by which it can be said to have succeeded. That has in fact been what happened with the “war on poverty.” Both President John F. Kennedy, who launched the proposal for a “war on poverty” and his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, who guided the legislation through Congress and then signed it into law, were very explicit as to what the “war on poverty” was intended to accomplish. Its mission was not simply to prove that spending money on the poor led to some economic benefits to the poor. Nobody ever doubted that. How could they? What the war on poverty was intended to end was mass dependency on government. President Kennedy said, “We must find ways of returning far more of our dependent people to independence.” The same theme was repeated endlessly by President Johnson. The purpose of the “war on poverty,” he said, was to make “taxpayers out of taxeaters.” Its slogan was “Give a hand up, not a handout.” When Lyndon Johnson signed the landmark legislation into law, he declared: “The days of the dole in our country are numbered.” Now, 50 years and trillions of dollars later, it is painfully clear that there is more dependency than ever. Ironically, dependency on government to raise people above the poverty line had been going down for years before the “war on poverty” began. The hard facts showed that the number of people who lived below the official poverty line had been declining since 1960, and was only half of what it had been in 1950. On the more fundamental question of dependency, the facts were even clearer. The proportion of people whose earnings put them below the poverty level — without counting government benefits — declined by about one-third from 1950 to 1965. All this was happening before the “war on poverty” went into effect — and all these trends reversed after it went into effect. Nor was this pattern unique. Other beneficial social trends that were going on before the 1960s reversed after other bright ideas of that decade were put into effect. Massive “sex education” programs were put into schools, claiming that this was urgently needed to reduce a “crisis” of teenage pregnancies and venereal diseases. But teenage pregnancies and venereal diseases had both been going down for years. The rate of infection for gonorrhea, for example, declined every year from 1950 through 1959, and the rate of syphilis infection was, by 1960, less than half of what it had been in 1950. Both trends reversed and skyrocketed after “sex education” became pervasive. The murder rate had been going down for decades, and in 1960 was only half of what it had been in 1934. That trend suddenly reversed after the liberal changes in criminal laws during the 1960s. By 1974, the murder rate was more than twice as high as it had been in 1961. While the fact-free liberals celebrate the “war on poverty” and other bright ideas of the 1960s, we are trying to cope with yet another “reform” that has made matters worse, ObamaCare. (Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com.)

Prayer for today Lord God, I pray that I may not overlook thy blessings of beauty while endeavoring to perform my duties. Guide me that I may not struggle to be where thou wouldst not have me go. Amen.

The NHS: Dogma vs. experience BELFAST, Northern Ireland — While the Obama administration offers life support to its Affordable Care Act, in the UK a growing number of people are asking whether it’s time to pull the plug on the National Health Service (NHS), which is in critical condition. For many years the UK media have carried stories that not only bode ill for the future of government-run health care, but also continue to serve as a “code blue” warning to the U.S. as to what might be in our future if we decide to go down that road. Writing in The Daily Telegraph under the headline, “It’s time to make difficult decisions about the NHS,” columnist Judith Woods says, “The NHS, dying on its feet for decades, is in a critical state. The promised injection of cash may stabilize it temporarily, but the chances of a full recovery are nil.” She is not alone. A headline in The Guardian, declares the NHS “on the brink of extinction.” While in America there are concerns about an insufficient number of younger people signing up for Obamacare, in the UK among the latest causes for concern is a plan that the Guard-

ian writes “...would only see new drugs licensed for NHS if judged to be Cal a benefit to Thomas wider society.” Columnist Does this sound like a close relative of eugenics? Let us not talk of “death panels,” or should we? In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence decides whether new medicines should be approved. Might it someday also come down to some official deciding who gets treatment and who doesn’t? Changing the name of the decision-making entity doesn’t alter the intent, or the outcome. Already, according to the Daily Mail, citing a report by the European Commission (EC), “Britain has fewer doctors per person than nearly all other European countries.” There are just 2.71 doctors for every 1,000 people. The EC reports the UK ranked “24th out of 27 countries in the EU, behind some of the poorest countries, including Bulgaria, Estonia and Latvia.” General practitioners are paid 1,500 pounds (about $2,500) a shift to cover nights and

weekends in overburdened ERs. Can one see this crisis looming on America’s horizon as the current supply of doctors proves inadequate to treat a flood of new Obamacare patients? What’s more, stories about incompetence and corruption within the NHS, once the exception, are now common. “Blood donors turned away by clinics’ incompetence,” says a headline in the Daily Mail. The NHS was supposed to reduce the number of people who seek treatment in emergency rooms. Instead, the BBC reports, some patients visit them as many as four times a week. Citing data from 183 sites obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, BBC News writes, “...nearly 12,000 people made more than 10 visits to the same unit in 2012-13. A small number of those — just over 150 — attended more than 50 times.” The same has proven true for Obamacare. Obama said that coverage would result in fewer ER visits, when in fact studies already show that the newly covered are visiting ERs more frequently. An editorial in The Daily Telegraph says, “The NHS is cursed by a devotion to dogma.” People have come to expect “free” care and the

cost of “free” is breaking the system. The editorial recommends everyone visiting a GP should be required to pay 10 pounds ($16) to “discourage those with minor ailments” from making a trip to the ER. Dr. Mark Porter, chairman of the council at the British Medical Association, has said that if the NHS were a country, it would barely have a credit rating. He warns: “A growing and aging population, public health problems like obesity, and constant advances in treatment and technology are all contributing to push NHS costs well above general inflation.” If the NHS can’t be sustained in the UK, why would anyone believe an American experience will be different? The ACA, of course, is not nationalized health care (people pay insurance premiums, after all) but some think it could evolve into that. If it’s a question of dogma vs. experience, experience should prevail. The UK experience with nationalized health care can teach America something.

Making a politically incorrect movie without trying The movie “Lone Survivor” didn’t get any major Oscar nominations. If it had, perhaps it should have been nominated for Most Unlikely Politically Incorrect Picture of the Year. It’s based on the true story of a mission in Afghanistan that goes disastrously wrong. A four-man team of Navy SEALs hunting down a Taliban commander is stumbled upon by a couple of goatherds in the mountains of Kunar province. Deciding to let them go, even though it will compromise them, the SEALs are subsequently outnumbered in a fierce firefight. Three of them are killed, and a Chinook helicopter attempting to relieve them is downed, killing another 16 Americans. The only survivor is a SEAL named Marcus Luttrell, who is played by Mark Wahlberg and wrote a book about the mission. None of this is remotely controversial material. How could anyone be offended by a movie about a Navy SEAL fighting with everything he has to save himself and his buddies and improbably surviving an epic ordeal? Yet the brickbats have been flying from the snotty left: Propagan-

da. Simplistic. Racist. “Lone Survivor” has run up against part of the culture that Rich can’t stand most Lowery the straightforNational ward deReview pictions of American heroism and the warrior ethic. A reviewer in The Atlantic worries that movies like “Lone Survivor” “resemble multi-million dollar recruitment videos — tools of military indoctrination geared toward the young and the impressionable.” There is no doubt that the SEALs are portrayed as noble and heroic, for good reason: They were. But if this is a recruitment film, it isn’t of the “sign up and see the world” variety. The implicit message is that if you become a SEAL, you, too, can be faced with excruciating life-and-death decisions in hostile territory. You, too, can fight a battle while falling down a mountain. You, too, can get shot up and killed. A writer in Salon complains that the targeted

Taliban commander “is presented as a terrible guy,” and we don’t learn enough about the Taliban fighters attacking the SEALs, or as he calls them, “some dudes from an Afghan village about whom we know nothing.” Yes, if only we knew whether or not the Taliban commander, Ahmad Shah, had a troubled upbringing, that would change everything. Perhaps the Taliban version of the movie could present fuller, more sympathetic portraits of its fighters seeking to plunge their country into renewed medieval darkness — if, that is, the Taliban believed in movies. In perhaps the most preposterous critique, a critic in LA Weekly says the attitude of the SEALs in the movie is “Brown people bad, American people good.” What a stupid smear. The proximate cause of the impossible situation of the SEALs is precisely their decision to let a few unarmed “brown people” go. Besides, not all “brown people” in the film are bad. Some of them are awe-inspiringly merciful and brave. Of course, the main thrust of the Taliban’s war is against other “brown people,” whom they intimi-

date and kill in their quest to dominate. It is certainly true that “Lone Survivor” is not Fellini. What it lacks in dialogue, it makes up for in explosions and gunfire. It is about as subtle as an RPG round. But it captures something important: the otherworldly fearlessness and grit of our best fighters. If this story — the inevitable cinematic embellishments, aside — weren’t true, you would be hard-pressed to believe it. These are extraordinary men, and the tale of their valor deserves to be told over and over again, whatever you think of the Afghan War or the broader war on terror. Several years ago, Hollywood made a bunch of tendentious anti-Iraq War movies, all of which flopped. “Lone Survivor” is one of the few recent war movies that have been a success at the box office. It’s not hard to understand why. It takes a perverse hostility to all that is great and good in the U.S. military not to find it gripping and inspiring.

US appeals court won’t halt execution Mayor admits flaws in clearing snow HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A Mexican national moved a step closer to lethal injection Wednesday when a federal appeals court rejected a claim that he was mentally impaired and ineligible to be put to death for the fatal shooting of a Houston police officer 20 years ago. Texas officials opposed appeals to stop the scheduled lethal injection of Edgar Tamayo, 46, for killing Officer Guy Gaddis, 24, despite pleas and diplomatic pressure from the Mexican government and the U.S. State Department. Tamayo’s lawyers went to the U.S. Supreme Court after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said an appeal this week renewing an earlier contention that Tamayo was mentally impaired and ineligible for execution was filed too late. Tamayo’s attorneys argued the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, an arm of the Organization of American States, had determined only last week that Tamayo was mentally impaired. Lawyers contended Tamayo should be granted an exception to court rules barring such new lastminute appeals. His attorneys also appealed a federal judge’s refusal to stop the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles from a clemency recommendation in Tamayo’s case because of what they argued were unfair pro-

NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is acknowledging flaws in clearing snow from Manhattan’s posh Upper East Side after a storm dumped nearly a foot of it. He faced complaints Wednesday that plowing lagged in the neighborhood while other areas were cleared more quickly after Tuesday’s storm. De Blasio initially said the citywide effort was robust and equitable. But he says in a statement Wednesday evening that he now feels “more could have been done to serve the Upper East Side.� De Blasio says 30 more vehicles and nearly 40 more sanitation workers have been sent to the area to finish the cleanup.

Obama joins effort against college rape WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama shone a light Wednesday on a college sexual assault epidemic that is often shrouded in secrecy, with victims fearing stigma, police poorly trained to investigate and universities reluctant to disclose the violence. A White House report highlights a stunning prevalence of rape on college campuses, with 1 in 5 female students assaulted while only 1 in 8 student victims report it. “No one is more at

risk of being raped or sexually assaulted than women at our nation’s colleges and universities,â€? said the report by the White House Council on Women and Girls. Nearly 22 million American women and 1.6 million men have been raped in their lifetimes, according to the report. It chronicled the devastating effects, including depression, substance abuse and a wide range of physical ailments such as chronic pain and diabetes. The report said campus sexual assaults are fueled by drinking and drug use that can incapacitate victims, often at student parties at the hands of someone they know. Â

Sentencing delayed for former teacher OXFORD — A federal judge has delayed sentencing for a former substitute teacher on charges he enticed a minor to engage in illegal sexual conduct. The judge granted the request Wednesday to Matthew Blake Whitt. The 24-year-old Whitt pleaded guilty in September and was to be sentenced today. Sentencing will now take place April 17. Whitt was charged with having inappropriate contact with a 15-yearold student at a school where he worked as a substitute teacher. Whitt’s attorney filed paperwork Monday asking the federal judge to delay the sentencing hearing while Congress debates the Justice Safety Valve Act of 2013. The act would allow federal judges greater flexibility in sentencing. Whitt remains free on a $15,000 bond.

Space telescope spies water plumes LOS ANGELES — The largest object in the asteroid belt just got more attractive: Scientists have confirmed signs of water on the dwarf planet Ceres, one of the few bodies in the solar system to hold that distinction. Peering through the Herschel Space Observatory, a team led by the European Space Agency detected water plumes spewing from two regions on Ceres. The observations, published in Thursday’s issue of Nature, come as NASA’s Dawn spacecraft is set to arrive at the Texas-sized dwarf planet next year. It’s long been suspected that Ceres is water-rich, but previous detections have been inconclusive.

Simmons said that the task force’s report will be presented to the Legislature where he will work “to develop a plan to improve our roads and bridges to prevent a tragedy from occurring in the future.� The final report found that 25 percent or, 20,000 miles, of highways are in “very poor condition� and that $400 million is needed annually for highway improvements.

8 pounds of meth gets man 10 years GULFPORT — A 31-year-old man found with nearly eight pounds of methamphetamine in a Harrison County traffic stop has been sentenced to 10 years in a federal prison. Rodolfo Garcia Quintanilla faced 10 years to life at his sentencing in a drug-trafficking case Tuesday. Chief District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. also ordered five years of

post-release supervision. Quintanilla has been in custody since July 31, when Harrison County deputy sheriffs arrested him in a traffic stop on Interstate 10. Quintanilla pleaded guilty in October to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

7-week-old baby boy found dead BAY ST. LOUIS — Hancock County sheriff’s deputies say a 7-weekold baby found dead is believed to have suffocated while sleeping with his mother. Detective John Alison said the infant was unresponsive when his mother woke up about 6:20 a.m. Tuesday at her home. The mother took the baby next door to a relative’s home but they were unable to resuscitate him. The death is believed to be accidental but remains under investigation.

Biloxi leaders to break ground at baseball stadium site BILOXI — The rush is on to start construction of Biloxi’s minor league baseball stadium. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled Thursday, and Doug Dale with Dale Partners Architects told the Biloxi City Council it is imperative work begins right away. He presented a tentative schedule that calls for the council to approve the $21 million bond issue at the Jan. 28 meeting and for the stadium to be substantially complete by May 2015. The Sun Herald reports the council hasn’t yet signed the lease with the team owners and MGM Grand for the land, but as proposed the contract calls for the city paying damages of $10,000 for each home game the stadium isn’t ready after March 28, 2015. Dale said the stadium will seat between 5,000 and 6,000 people.

Hinds County inmates to make visits by videoconferencing JACKSON — Hinds County is switching a video system for inmates to visit with friends, family and attorneys. The Clarion-Ledger reports that the board of supervisors signed a contract Tuesday with Mobile, Ala.-based Global Tel Link Corp. to install the system in the county’s three jails. Global Tek has placed similar systems in Mississippi’s 15 regional jails and the three state prisons. A typical videoconference visit lasting about 20 minutes would cost $12. Presently, inmates can call someone outside the jail for a flat $3.50 in-state fee or visitors can come to see them at either the Adult Detention Center in Raymond, the women’s facility in downtown Jackson, or the Penal Farm located adjacent to the main Raymond jail. Inmates do not have to pay for visits at the jail. The inmate and the visitor are separated by a clear screen and talk to each other through a telephone hookup. “When I have full-fledged visitation going on at the Raymond jail, it’s exhausting to the staff,” said Chief Deputy Chris Picou. Inmates must be moved to designated visiting areas, and their guests often come unannounced and unscheduled, he said. The new system allows visits to be scheduled online. Those wanting to visit inmates can use their own computer or cellphone to videoconference with them, and attorneys can save time and money by conferring with inmates from their offices instead of driving to Raymond. “Where I would now use 10-12 people to staff visitation, I wouldn’t have to use any,” Picou said. “The technology is something we have badly needed.”

Coyotes make themselves at home at VA in Gulfport GULFPORT— Coyotes have taken up residence on the vacant Veterans Affairs property in Gulfport. The Sun Herald reports Hank Baltar, a retired Naval officer who lives behind the property, has called various agencies about the coyotes, but nobody seems to be able to do anything. He sat through a Tuesday’s Gulfport City Council meeting so he could tell council members about the wild animals in their midst. Baltar says the coyotes can be spotted daily on the 92-acre waterfront property the federal government deeded several years ago to Gulfport. The city is seeking tenants for what is now known as Centennial Plaza. Baltar said he thought the council should know, especially because children play on property soccer fields, family pets are around, and houses and apartments sit nearby.

Microbreweries bill wins approval in Gulfport GULFPORT — Microbreweries are now legal in the city of Gulfport. The Gulfport City Council on Tuesday amended local zoning rules to allow microbreweries in the city.

Microbreweries, where craft beer is made in small amounts, will be allowed in the same places that now permit bars or lounges. The city restricts both kinds of businesses from locating too close to schools and churches. Urban Development Director Greg Pietrangelo tells The Sun Herald that the zoning change was requested after a potential microbrewery operator approached the city about locating in Gulfport. The potential business has not yet been identified, he said, but would be located in the downtown business district. State law dictates how the businesses operate. The law limits the quantity of beer that can be made and also how it is sold. Even with the change in zoning laws, Pietrangelo said any microbrewery that wants to open in Gulfport must still come before the Planning Commission for approval.

Ocean Springs leaders increase water, sewer fees OCEAN SPRINGS — Ocean Springs leaders have voted to increase water and sewer rates by 6 percent for six months this year, plus a smaller boost to the annual increase in order to stabilize reserves in the special fund that supports the services. On Tuesday night, The Sun Herald reports the Board of Aldermen voted to add $2 a month to the garbagecollection fee, up from $12. The city had negotiated the monthly garbage costs with Waste Pro down from $16 a month last year, but now it will be back up to $14. The extra garbage-collection fee will go to help the city pay for the added service of picking up yard debris, behind the regular garbage collection, and dealing with portable toilets at festivals.

Woman loses appeal in immigrant case JACKSON — A federal appeals court has denied the appeal of a woman convicted in Mississippi of harboring people suspected of being in the country illegally from China, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India and Mexico. Sheren Nguyen was sentenced to three years in prison in 2012. Prosecutors say Nguyen was transporting nine people in a Chevy Suburban when it was pulled over on Interstate 55 in Pike County on Dec. 15, 2010. In her appeal, Nguyen argued the traffic stop was illegal. A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says Tuesday that the traffic stop was justified. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Bradley Byrd had said in an affidavit that three of nine were male juveniles from Guatemala, Honduras and India.

State court upholds possession of tour bus JACKSON — The state Court of Appeals has upheld a ruling that Tupelo businessman Bill Kinard was competent when he agreed in 2011 to sell a tour bus at auction. For the past three years, Kinard and Larry Michael of Nashville have disputed debts associated with retrieval of the bus from Washington State in early 2009 and some $134,000 in costs connected with that trip and the vehicle’s partial “restoration.” Ultimately, Lee County Chancellor Talmadge Littlejohn ordered the bus put up for sale and Michael won the bid. Throughout, Kinard — who sued as Legacy Hall of Fame Inc., a celebrity memorabilia facility — argued he never intended to sell the bus and that he was under medication when he agreed to do so. Kinard said he wanted to keep the bus and take it on tour to make a living away from his Legacy Hall of Fame museum in Tupelo. On Dec. 12, 2011 all sides apparently agreed to a court-filed compromise to put the bus up for sale. The auction was held in March 2012 and Michael was the only bidder. Four months later, Legacy Hall sued to set-aside the agreement.

Nation Briefs Review: My not-so-strange addiction with ‘Candy Crush’

Associated Press

Cosby developing script for possible NBC comedy NEW YORK — NBC is confirming that Bill Cosby is developing a possible new sitcom he would star in. The deal brings the 76-year-old entertainer together with a writing staff to create a script for a comedy that casts Cosby as the patriarch of a multigenerational family. An NBC spokesman said Wednesday that, as yet, there is no series order, nor even a deal to produce a pilot episode. Cosby’s greatest TV triumph began at NBC three decades ago, when “The Cosby Show” launched in September 1984. It ran for eight seasons. Less successful was “Cosby,” another sitcom that aired on CBS for four seasons starting in 1996.

NEW YORK — Many people remember where they were when man first walked on the moon. I remember where I was when I passed Level 86 of “Candy Crush Saga,” the addictive game that involves matching brighthued virtual candies to have them disappear, only to be replaced by more. I’m on Level 95 now. There are about 500 levels, but more are constantly being added. It recalls Sisyphus, the mythical Greek king forced by the deities to roll a stone up a mountain, only to see it fall back down. Forever. I’m reading less and spending less time with friends and family, but I keep telling myself that I can quit any time. All it takes is holding a finger on the app until a black “x’’ appears on the top left corner. Then it’s one tap to delete.

An Open Letter to My Fellow Ministers

By Mike Swims I would like to ask you a question. Do you believe God, or simply believe IN God? I ask because there is a world of difference between “believing God”, and “believing IN God.” “Believing IN God” can simply mean you believe God exists, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you submit to Him. However, “believing God” means you not only believe God exists, but you believe every word He said is truth and you’ll teach all of His commandments, not just the ones you find agreeable. Jesus understood that not everyone who calls themselves a “Christian” would be a true follower when he said, “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:”-Luke 6:46-47 Did you notice that Jesus commanded his true followers to actually keep his commandments? There exists today a society in which our children are taught the false doctrines that saying a prayer once equals salvation (and I challenge any of you fellow ministers to prove this doctrine to me), and from thenceforth they can never be lost. This is in direct contradiction to Titus 1:16 which reads; “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” This has led to several generations of “Christians” who are Christians in name only, and not in deed. And we wonder why overall church attendance is hemorrhaging! We owe it to ourselves (James 3:1) and to the congregations to speak where God speaks, and to be silent where God is silent. God doesn’t need an editor. We need to get back to believing He said what He meant, and He meant what He said (Deut. 4:2; Proverbs 30:6; Rev. 22:18-19), and teaching that to the congregations who put their trust in us.

Gold is one of the frontrunners so far this year.

tional Monetary Fund on Monday raised its 2014 forecast for global growth to 3.9 percent from 3.7 percent, largely due to improvements in developed economies. The Fed this month begins slowing its bond-purchasing program, and economists expect it may make further reductions. Reduced stimulus lowers fears of inflation. To be sure, investors may continue to buy gold in the coming weeks. That’s because families across Asia will buy gifts for the Lunar New Year on Jan. 31, Barclays analyst Suki Cooper says. Even so, Barclays forecasts gold will average $1,205 per ounce this year, down from an average of $1,412 in 2013. It expects a decline in value to $1,150 next year. Credit Suisse is even more bearish. It says gold may drop below $1,000 this year.

But many analysts expect the price of gold to fall this year, marking its first back-to-back annual decline since 1997-98. 30% Gold price change (per ounce)

In from the cold? Gold is an early leader in 2014. It traded for $1,238.60 an ounce Wednesday, up 3 percent this year. That’s better than both stocks and crude oil, whose prices are down. Give credit to worries about the economy. Investors often flock to gold when they’re frightened. The trigger may be anything from a weaker-thanexpected jobs report, like it was earlier this month; to doomsayers predicting a burst of inflation, as they did at the start of the Federal Reserve’s stimulus efforts. But don’t be fooled by gold’s early run. Analysts predict its price will fall by year’s end, largely because investors will continue to have fewer reasons to be anxious. Even with January’s dud of a jobs report, optimism among economists is rising. The Interna-

Brewing up growth Starbucks has kept driving sales despite the slow-growth economy. The coffee chain, due to report fiscal first-quarter earnings today, has used its loyalty program to get customers to visit more often and spend more on revamped sandwiches and other food. The strategy helped drive global sales growth for the July-September quarter at cafes open at least a year. Did the trend extend into the last three months of 2013?

Harsh words make grieving difficult WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I was married for 30 years to a man I loved deeply. I know perfectly well he is not perfect (who is?) and saw him struggle to control his temper and sharp tongue. He had a schizophrenic father and an alcoholic mother. They divorced when he was about 10, and he bounced from foster home to foster home. He slept in alleys and ate from garbage cans. He was deeply loving, fiercely protective and faithful. He had compassion for the downtrodden and often gave away food, clothing and money to the less fortunate. I loved his heart of “pure mush,” as he put it. Unfortunately, my family only saw his quick temper and said he was only using me for my money. He always worked, just at lower-paying jobs, and we learned to live with less so we could give more away. They never saw the generous things he did. When he died, I notified both families and received no condolences whatsoever. His family has never acknowledged his passing. My family members seem intent on degrading him in front of our mutual friends and me. These are people who claim they care about me, but I wonder. Why won’t they let the man rest in

Annie’s Mailbox peace and leave me with my loving memories, instead of trying to justify their apparent hostility? He’s dead now and can’t aggravate them anymore. How can I get them to stop? — Still Loving My One and Only Dear Still: You have to tell them and make it stick. If your relatives begin denigrating your late husband, respond with: “Please stop saying terrible things about someone I loved. It makes my grieving more difficult.” Don’t lose your temper or cry. Simply make your statement, and if they continue to say unkind things, get up and leave. Eventually, they will stop, but at least you won’t have to listen to their comments in the meantime. Our condolences on your loss. Dear Annie: My daughter has never let me meet my grandson. He was born in May, and the last time I saw my daughter was in March when I hosted a baby shower. She and her boyfriend

don’t believe in God. I asked them whether they would bless the child, but they became angry. She is really breaking my heart. I can’t believe she is so evil. What can I do to resolve this? Dear Grandma: People who are deeply religious often do not understand how offensive their religious demands are to people who do not share their beliefs. By asking your daughter to bless the child, you were showing disrespect for her and her boyfriend. We know you strongly disagree with their approach to raising their child, but it is not your decision to make. If you ever hope to have a relationship with your grandchild, you will need to demonstrate to your daughter that you can be trusted not to undermine her parental authority.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Garron Carlin of Eastview, Tenn., remains the current part of a family tradition of custom-making turkey, duck, deer, crow and owl calls for more than 75 years. See Staff Writer/Photographer Zack Steen’s story coming in the Sunday Daily Corinthian.

Husband enlists Hemingway in campaign to have an affair DEAR ABBY: I am 36. My husband is 60. We have been together for 10 years. During the first four years we got along great, but he now says he wants to have affairs. He texts women and tries to hide it from me. I found out he was texting his first ex-wife. It made me uncomfortable, so I asked him to stop. He didn’t. When I realized he hadn’t, I told him I would leave if it happens again. This kind of behavior has been going on for more than half our marriage. I am at the point where I don’t want to cuddle or be affectionate with him at all. He commented the other day that he should be allowed to have an affair because I mentioned that I find Hemingway interesting. (He was known for affairs.) I’m at a loss. I care for my husband and don’t want to hurt him. But I’m also scared that I can’t afford to be on my own. A little advice? -- UNSURE IN WASHINGTON DEAR UNSURE: Hemingway was also known for his drinking and big-game hunting. Is your husband considering doing those things, too? If ever I heard of a couple who could benefit from marriage counseling, it’s you two. As it stands, your marriage is broken. Counseling may help. If it doesn’t and you don’t have a

job, find one and figure out a way to cut your expenses so you CAN afford to be on your own, Abigail because it like you Van Buren looks will be. D E A R Dear Abby ABBY: I am an esthetician who works as a waxing specialist. A customer of mine came in a short while ago and admitted to driving to my salon while drunk. She mentioned she had almost crashed her car getting here, and I could smell the liquor on her breath. She is one of my regular customers, but I am very against drunk driving. How would I professionally handle this? I wanted to report it, but I didn’t know what car she was driving or where she was headed. How should this be handled in the future? -- CONFLICTED IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR CONFLICTED: Because you know the woman well, you might say, “You nearly crashed your car getting here. I care about you too much to let you drive home like this. I’m calling you a taxi. Pick up your car tomorrow.” When she’s sober again and

comes in for her next appointment, tell her how worried you were about her. There are two ways to lose a customer. One is by offending her. The other is by letting her kill herself behind the wheel because she’s so drunk she can’t see straight. So let your conscience guide you. DEAR ABBY: I have a condition that causes constant migraines. A new neighbor heard about my illness and is determined to become my second mother. She continually tries to visit, call and text even though my husband and I have asked her not to. I dislike hurting people. How can I get her to stop her stalkerish behavior without making this old lady my enemy? -- MY OTHER HEADACHE’S A NEIGHBOR DEAR OTHER HEADACHE: Stop asking and TELL this wellmeaning woman that she’s making your condition worse by continuing to call, text and visit. And while you’re at it, tell her that when you’re ready for company, you will contact her -- but only when you’re feeling well enough to chat. If she persists after that, don’t answer her calls and refuse her visits. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Part of your success plan is to do the hardest work at your peak times of mental and physical strength. Today’s observations will help you get in better touch with your rhythms and preferences. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Many don’t understand how power can be derived from service rather than control, but you get it. The more you help and provide for others, the greater your sense of personal power becomes. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are enthralled with someone for reasons that are mysterious even to you. This is a good time to break it down in your mind. What quality does the object of your enchantment have that you would like to posses? CANCER (June 22-July 22). As for today’s dilemma, a fellow Cancer summed it up best. “I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.” -- Bill Cosby

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What’s the difference between a splurge and a reward? A collection and a hoard? Your feelings and attitude are the difference. You know you’re going to do something, so you may as well find a way to feel good about it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a certain amount of energy to spread around today, and you’ll resent your friends later if you give them too much of it now. Think about what is really important to you, and do that first. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can organize with the best of them today and might even get paid for it. It is easy for you to see how the pieces can be arranged for maximum productivity. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You understand that people need some degree of consistency in their lives and relationships in order to feel safe. People can’t be at their best if they don’t feel safe. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). There are those to whom significance matters a great deal. They need to be recognized as important. You, sensing this need, have a choice about whether to serve it or not. You’ll deliberate carefully on this matter. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Loyalty is important to you. A true friend rushes to celebrate a friend when good things are happening, but not so fast as he rushes to assist a friend who needs help. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your continued good fortune depends on your ability to get up to speed in several areas of your life at once. The timeliness of your actions will make an enormous difference. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sea divers have been known to spend so much time in the depths of the ocean that they can’t tell which way is up. Your recent project is pretty deep, as well. A friend at the surface can save the day.

KAMERON WOODS, BUTLER Four days after being held scoreless on 0-of-9 shooting in a 28-point loss at Creighton, Woods scored 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in Butler’s 69–57 overtime win over Marquette. The Bulldogs had been 0–5 in the Big East, with three of the five losses coming in overtime. Woods, a 6'9" sophomore, has had at least 10 rebounds in four straight games. DREW CRAWFORD, NORTHWESTERN Northwestern won its first Big Ten road game in more than a calendar year thanks to Crawford, who scored 17 points and added 11 rebounds in the Wildcats’ surprising 54–47 win at Indiana. Northwestern, under first-year coach Chris Collins, is 9–10 overall and 2–4 in the Big Ten, but the Cats have won two of their last three games. JOEL EMBIID, KANSAS Embiid is playing like the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. The freshman center was sensational in Kansas’ 80–78 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday, scoring 13 points (on 5-of6 shooting) with 11 rebounds and eight blocked shots. Then, on Monday night, the Cameroon native scored 12 points and added four rebounds in the Jayhawks’ 10-point win over Baylor. NIK STAUSKAS, MICHIGAN Stauskas scored 23 points to lead Michigan to a rare win over Wisconsin at the Kohl Center. The sophomore sharpshooter hit three 3-pointers, none more important than a step-back jumper from the left side that gave the Wolverines a four-point lead with under a minute to play. Stauskas added four free throws down the stretch to secure Michigan’s first win in Madison since 1999. The Wolverines, who are playing without standout big man Mitch McGary (out for the season with a back injury), have won seven straight games. BRYCE COTTON, PROVIDENCE Cotton scored a game-high 23 points to lead short-handed Providence to an 81–68 win over Creighton, which entered the game with a 5–0 record in Big East play. Cotton, a senior guard, has scored 20 points or more in three straight games — wins over Georgetown, St. John’s (on the road) and Creighton. He is averaging 20.4 points per game. MONTREZL HARRELL, LOUISVILLE Harrell recorded a double-double for the third time in four games, scoring 18 points and grabbing 13 rebounds in the Cardinals’ 76–64 win at UConn on Saturday night. Harrell, who is shooting .634 from the field, connected on 8of-10 from the field and also blocked three shots for the surging Cards, who have won three straight games. JOHNNY O’BRYANT, LSU O’Bryant, a former McDonald’s All-American, rebounded from a subpar game in LSU’s loss at Ole Miss to score 22 points and grab 12 rebounds in the Tigers’ 81–58 win over Vanderbilt in Baton Rouge. O’Bryant and the LSU frontline dominated Vanderbilt on the glass, outrebounding the Commodores 48-to-24. CHASSON RANDLE, STANFORD Randle tied a career high with 33 points to lead Stanford to a 79–67 win over Washington late Saturday in Palo Alto. A junior guard from Illinois, Randle hit 11-of-15 from the field and 10of-13 from the foul line en route to his third game with 30-plus points this season. He leads the team in scoring at 19.5 points per game.

Bruce Schwartzman

FUQUAN EDWIN, SETON HALL Edwin fueled Seton Hall’s second-half rally with 19 of his 24 points in the final 17 minutes to help the Pirates beat Georgetown 67–57 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. A senior guard, Edwin connected on all five of his 3point attempts in the second half as the Pirates turned a 10-point deficit into a 10-point win. Edwin also recorded five steals and is now the school’s all-time leader with 263. Seton Hall, now 2–3 in the Big East, had not defeated Georgetown on the road since January 2003.

Iowa making a move in Big Ten Who’s your pick to win the Big Ten regular-season title? Mitch Light: Michigan State might be the obvious pick, but I’m going with Iowa. I’ve been on the Hawkeyes’ bandwagon since last season, when they narrowly missed the NCAA Tournament despite going 9–9 — with six of the losses coming by four points or less — in the nation’s most difficult conference. With every key player back, it’s no surprise that Fran McCaffery has his team in the hunt for a league title. Iowa might lack the star power of some of the elite teams in the Big Ten, but no program features more quality depth. McCaffery can go 10 deep and has the ability to mix and match lineups to accentuate his team’s positives. Taking a quick look at the advanced stats, there isn’t one thing that this team does not do well. The Hawkeyes are efficient offensively — and aren’t too reliant on the 3-pointer — and outstanding on the defensive end while playing at one of the fastest tempos in the country. David Fox: I’m picking the Spartans, though it’s a tough call over Wisconsin. Consider that Tom Izzo hasn’t had a fully healthy roster this season and still started 17–1. Gary Harris and Adreian Payne have both been hurt. So has Branden Dawson. That said, Keith Appling is one of the most improved players in the Big Ten, and the Spartans have had the depth in Denzel Valentine, Travis Trice and Kenny Kaminksi to weather the injuries so far. The road will be tough — quite literally, with trips to Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Ohio State — but Michigan State can navigate it. Who is the most underrated player in the nation? Braden Gall: UCLA’s Kyle Anderson. The 6'9" point-forward is likely overlooked because he plays on the West Coast in a nondescript Pac-12 for a solid-but-not-special Bruins team. But Anderson is averaging 15.5 points per game and leading UCLA in both rebounding (8.9 rpg) and assists (6.6 apg). This is an NCAA Tournament team and ap-

FLORIDA STATE AT DUKE This is an intriguing matchup between one of the nation’s top defensive teams in Florida State and a Duke team that is loaded with offensive weapons. Florida State is holding its opponents to 39.6 percent shooting on 2-point field goals, which ranks second in the nation. Duke, which shoots 41.4 percent from three and 52.7 percent from two, ranks second nationally in offensive efficiency (1.22 points per possession). TEXAS AT BAYLOR Texas has suffered major personnel losses in recent years, but Rick Barnes has the Longhorns in the hunt for an NCAA Tournament berth. Baylor, on the other hand, has too much talent to be 1–4 in the Big 12. With non-conference wins over Colorado, Dayton and Kentucky, Baylor’s NCAA résumé is solid, but at some point this team needs to start winning games in league play. KANSAS STATE AT IOWA STATE Iowa State, which has lost three straight games following a 14–0 start, desperately needs a win to remain relevant in the Big 12 title chase. Kansas State has been one of the league’s early surprises; the Cats are 4–1 in the Big 12, with the only loss coming on the road at Kansas. Bruce Weber’s team has been terrific on the defensive end and has been especially adept at guarding the 3-point line. Defending Iowa State’s many set plays will be key in this game. TENNESSEE AT FLORIDA Florida, off to a 4–0 start, has emerged as the team to beat in the SEC. The Gators do just about everything well except shoot free throws, where they are 270th in the nation at 66.6 percent. Tennessee features one of the most talented rosters in the league, but the Vols have some troubling losses — vs. UTEP on a neutral court and against NC State and Texas A&M at home. This team is searching for a quality win to pad its NCAA Tournament résumé. WISCONSIN AT PURDUE Wisconsin, losers of two straight games, hits the road for tough tests at Minnesota on Wednesday and surging Purdue on Saturday. The Boilermakers have won three straight in league play, highlighted by last week’s 66–58 victory at Illinois. Matt Painter’s team has trouble scoring at times, but the Boilers have been able to create extra possessions due to their outstanding work on the offensive glass. This is a huge opportunity for Purdue. VILLANOVA AT MARQUETTE Marquette has been one of the most disappointing teams in the country this season. The Golden Eagles, 11–8 overall and 3–3 in the Big East, are in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005. Villanova must regroup after its stunning 28-point loss at home to Creighton on Monday night. Defending the 3-point line will obviously be a focus in practice this week for Jay Wright.

Roy Devyn Marble and the Iowa Hawkeyes have the talent — and depth — to contend for the school’s first Big Ten title since 1979, when Lute Olson was the coach in Iowa City.

pears headed toward a top-three finish in the Pac-12 despite falling to Utah last weekend for the first time since 1983 — a game in which Anderson scored 28 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out seven assists. Normally, UCLA would be a high-profile location for a player of Anderson’s caliber, but it feels like the sophomore is flying under the national radar this season. Light: This one is bit off the national radar — Billy Baron from Canisius. Baron, on his third school in four years, is averaging 23.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists while shooting .453 from 3-point range and .913 from the line. Baron began his career at Virginia but transferred to Rhode Island after one semester to play for his father, Jim Baron. The elder Baron was fired at Nathan Rush 15-5

URI after the 2011-12 season, but he landed on his feet and was named head coach at Canisius. Billy followed his dad to upstate New York and has been one of the nation’s premier scorers over the last two seasons. Fox: Delon Wright probably won’t be underrated for much longer as Utah defeated UCLA on Saturday, but the Utes’ point guard is my pick. Academic issues landed him in junior college out of high school, but the brother of Trail Blazers forward Dorell Wright earned his way onto a Pac-12 roster. Wright is as composed of a point guard as there is, and his numbers are staggering: 15.7 points, 5.2 assists, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game while shooting 63.5 percent from the floor — all for Utah’s best team since 2008-09.

MICHIGAN AT MICHIGAN STATE The stakes will be high when these two in-state rivals meet in East Lansing. Michigan has jumped out to a 5–0 record in the Big Ten, but the Wolverines play Iowa and Michigan State — arguably the two best teams in the league — this week. A split would be great for John Beilein’s team. Michigan State is 6–0 in the league (including four wins on the road) despite the absence of Adreian Payne (foot injury) in the last three games. The Spartans need their senior big man to be healthy for the stretch run. GEORGETOWN AT CREIGHTON Both teams had eventful games Monday night. Creighton set a bunch of shooting records at Villanova en route to a 96–68 stunner over the Wildcats. The Bluejays are 6–1 in league play in their first season in the Big East. Georgetown blew a seven-point lead in the final three minutes on its way to an 80–72 overtime loss at home to Marquette. The Hoyas, who have lost three straight games, dropped to 11–7 overall and 3–4 in the Big East. SUNDAY, JAN. 26 ILLINOIS AT INDIANA Just a few weeks ago, Illinois was 13–2 overall and 2–0 in the Big Ten. Now, the Fighting Illini are 13–6 and 2–4 with games at Ohio State and Indiana looming. Barring a quick turnaround, John Groce’s team will have a tough time earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Indiana experienced both the highs and lows of conference play last week, beating undefeated (at the time) Wisconsin on Tuesday and losing at home to Northwestern on Saturday. The Hoosiers cannot afford to lose another home game to a team in the bottom half of the Big Ten. CALIFORNIA AT UCLA The cast of characters changes each season, but the winning ways continue in Berkeley. Mike Montgomery, one of the game’s most underrated coaches, has California off to a 5–0 start in the Pac-12, with three of the five wins coming on the road. Guard Justin Cobbs, one of five players averaging at least 10 points per game, is enjoying a stellar senior season for the Bears. UCLA must rebound from a loss at improving Utah over the weekend. The Bruins, under firstyear coach Steve Alford, boast a talented roster loaded with playmakers but struggle at times on defense.

Four-game losing streak spoils Oregon’s 13-0 start The Associated Press

The Oregon Ducks had no plans to review the game film after their loss to rival Oregon State in last weekend’s Civil War. “We pretty much know,” guard Johnathan Loyd shrugged. The Ducks fell 80-72 to the Beavers in Sunday’s game for their fourth straight loss. Oregon struggled on offense and trailed nearly all the way en route to coach Dana Altman’s first defeat in Corvallis.

Oregon is now 13-4 overall and 1-4 in the Pac-12. The losing streak — the team’s longest since 2011 — comes after the Ducks reeled off 13 wins to start the season and climbed to No. 10 in the rankings. “Each loss it gets tougher and tougher to get out of this hole we’re digging,” Loyd said. “This is four in a row so we’re just trying to put it behind us and just try to keep moving forward. “We’re not going to waste any energy on what

happened, we’re going to put that energy into going forward to get this win and get out of this hole.” The first chance to reverse course comes on Thursday, when Oregon visits Washington (11-8, 3-3), which was swept in a trip to the Bay Area last week. Then it’s on to Washington State (8-10, 1-5) on Sunday. “Defensively, we haven’t been very good. I would say that would be the common denominator,” Altman

said on this week’s Pac-12 coaches’ teleconference. “For the most part I think we have scored enough points. We just haven’t gotten stops when we’ve needed them, haven’t gotten the rebounds when we’ve needed them. That’s been, probably, our Achilles’ heel.” The Ducks’ defense has yielded 80 points or more in four straight games for the first time since the 2000-01 season. While Oregon leads the Pac-12

in scoring offense with an average of 87.4 points a game, the team trails the league in scoring defense with 77.8 points a game for its opponents. Oregon went 28-9 last season, capped by a 7769 loss to Louisville in the NCAA’s Sweet 16. The tournament run was something of a surprise after the Ducks were initially picked to finish seventh in the Pac-12. This season the Ducks were picked by the media

to finish fourth in the conference. They entered the season ranked No. 19 in the AP Top 25. Oregon’s roster this season included a half-dozen transfers, including Joseph Young, who came to the Ducks from Houston and leads the team in scoring with an average of 18 points per game, and forward Mike Moser, a Portland native who transferred from UNLV and is averaging 14.2 points and 7.8 rebounds a game.

The Associated Press

DALLAS — Former Dallas Cowboys player Josh Brent was convicted of intoxication manslaughter Wednesday for a fiery wreck that killed his teammate and close friend, Jerry Brown. He faces up to 20 years in prison for a December 2012 wreck after a night of partying with fellow Cowboys players. He could also get probation. Jurors took about nine hours over two days to convict Brent, who was led from the courtroom in handcuffs as family members sitting in the front row of the gallery sobbed. Among those sitting with

Brent’s family was Stacey Jackson, Brown’s mother. Jackson did not respond to questions as she left the courtroom Wednesday with Brent’s family, but she has said in interviews that she’s forgiven Brent and could testify in support of a lighter sentence for him when that phase of the trial begins Thursday. Attorneys from both sides remain under a gag order that prevented them from commenting after the proceedings. Prosecutors say Brent, a defensive tackle, was drunk when he crashed his Mercedes on a suburban Dallas highway in December 2012, killing Brown, a linebacker on

the Cowboys practice squad who had also been Brent’s teammate at the University of Illinois. Officers who arrived on scene saw Brent trying to pull Brown’s body from the wreckage. Police say Brent’s blood alcohol level was tested shortly after the crash at 0.18 percent, more than twice the legal limit for drivers in Texas. Prosecutors last week argued that the burly, 320-pound defensive tackle had as many as 17 drinks that night of the crash. Brent’s attorneys argued the blood tests used by police were faulty and that Brent could not have drank nearly that much. Attorney George

Milner said his client was “guilty of being stupid behind the wheel of a car,” not drinking beforehand. Brent retired from the NFL last year, but his ties to the Cowboys were prominent at trial. Two current players, Barry Church and Danny McCray, testified about hanging out with Brent and Brown, first playing video games, then having dinner and going to Privae, a Dallas nightclub. Sean Lee, a Cowboys linebacker, attended part of the trial to show support for Brent, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said this week that he was closely watching for a verdict.

Storm gives stadium dress rehearsal The Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The NFL and personnel at MetLife Stadium had a Super Bowl pop quiz on snow removal less than two weeks before the title game between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks. The league and stadium officials decided to use a winter storm that dumped a foot or more of snow in the New York City metropolitan area Tuesday as somewhat of a dress rehearsal to see how quickly they could clean the 80,000seat facility that will hold the first outdoor Super Bowl in cold weather. NFL executive vice president Eric Grubman said Wednesday an 18-hour time limit was set for removing the snow from the stadium, surrounding parking lots and

access roads in the Meadowlands sports complex, where the game will be played Feb. 2. Grubman refused to speculate whether the storm that snarled roads, closed schools and had states of emergency in New Jersey, New York City and some surrounding areas would have caused the Super Bowl to be postponed. He said that would be a decision made by state authori-

ties. Grubman, however, said the league has several contingency plans for the game, including moving it up to Friday or Saturday, pushing it back to Monday or adjusting the scheduled start on Sunday deal with the weather. The game is scheduled to start at 6:25 p.m. EST. “Based on the long-range forecast, all that I would even hazard to guess is that it is probably going to be cold. I doubt we are going to have an unusual warm spell,” Grubman said at the news conference originally called to showcase how the stadium was preparing for the Super Bowl. The snowstorm on Tuesday was a fortuitous coincidence for the cold-weather Super Bowl.

MetLife spokeswoman Nicole Fountain said the stadium and its contractors had 1,300 workers removing the 13 inches of snow that fell in and around the stadium. The crews started removal at around 8 a.m. and had sections of the stadium and most of the tarp-covered field cleared by noon. During this past season, the crews removed six inches of wet, iced-packed snow in roughly 12 hours before a Seahawks-Giants game on Dec. 15, Ron VanDeVeen, the stadium’s senior vice president of events said Wednesday. The snow being removed Wednesday was not as heavy, he said. Grubman said the league is prepared to play the game even if there is still some snow in the stands.

Titans add Mularkey, 2 others to staff The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have hired former Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills head coach Mike Mularkey as tight ends coach on Ken Whisenhunt’s staff. The Titans announced the addition of Mularkey as well as the hirings of John McNulty as quarterbacks coach and Kevin Patullo as assistant wide receivers coach on Wednesday. Mularkey coached the Jaguars to a 2-14 record in 2012 and was fired at the end of the season. He also went 14-18 as Buffalo’s coach in 2004-05. Mularkey and Whisenhunt previously worked together as assistants with the Pittsburgh

Steelers. “I am excited to back in the league,” Mularkey said in a team release announcing the hire. “I took some time off for family time. I got a chance to do some things with them, which I haven’t gotten to do over the last 20 years of coaching. I am definitely excited to get back and excited to get back with Ken. We go way back in our relationship, back to when we were players in the NFL and even to college when he was at Georgia Tech and I was at Florida.” Mularkey worked with the Steelers from 1996-2003 and spent his last three years in Pittsburgh as offensive coordinator. He spent two years with the Miami Dolphins as

offensive coordinator in 2006 and tight ends coach in 2007. Mularkey was the Atlanta Falcons’ offensive coordinator from 2008-11. The Falcons went 43-21 during Mularkey’s time in Atlanta. “Mike brings a wealth of experience, both as a coordinator and a head coach,” Whisenhunt said in a release. “Selfishly, for me, he brings a lot to the table, having been in this situation before. There are things that I will use him for moving forward that will help us a team. He has had a lot of success in this league and we are lucky to have him.” Mularkey played nine seasons in the NFL as a tight end with the Minnesota Vikings

and Steelers. He caught 102 passes for 1,222 yards in 114 career games. Mularkey began his coaching career as an offensive line coach for Concordia College. He worked with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a quality control coach in 1994 and a tight ends coach in 1995. “As a coach, I am diligent about the details of every little thing,” Mularkey said. “I am very big into making sure my guys are prepared and I really like them to know what is going to happen before it happens. With my background and knowledge as a player and coach, I can be a resource. I do love what I do Please see TITANS | 13

NASCAR moves to knockout qualifying format The Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR overhauled its qualifying process Wednesday, switching to a knockout format similar to Formula One and IndyCar. Drivers and track owners applauded the change, saying it will bring excitement to what had been a somewhat monotonous and often meaningless event. “I’m all for anything that makes it fun not only for the fans but the drivers and

teams, too,” Michael Waltrip Racing driver Clint Bowyer said. “This is really going shake things up on Fridays in a good way.” The new format will not be used for the Daytona 500, non-points events in the Sprint Cup Series and the Truck Series event at Eldora Speedway in Ohio. NASCAR will use three rounds of qualifying at tracks 1? miles in length or larger. The entire field will have 25 minutes to post their fastest

single lap and the top 24 advance to the second round. The second segment will last 10 minutes, and the fastest 12 will advance to a final, five-minute round. At tracks smaller than 1? miles, qualifying will be in two segments. The first will be 30 minutes, with the top 12 advancing to a 10-minute final session. “New qualifying rules for @ NASCAR 2014 season should really mix it up,” 2012 Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski posted on his Twitter

page. “I expect a lot more actions for fans and even more games from teams.” Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president for competition and racing development, said the sanctioning body modified qualifying rules to make the event “more engaging to the fans in the stands and those watching on TV and online.” It’s the first of several changes expected this season.

Woods starts another new year with same old goals The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Tiger Woods was posing for pictures with a trophy Wednesday at Torrey Pines, and the tournament had not even started. He has made winning look routine, particularly on this public course along Pacific Bluffs where he already has won eight times as a pro, including a U.S. Open. The trophy Woods received on the eve of his title defense at the Farmers Insurance Open was for being voted PGA Tour player of the year for the 11th time. Woods doesn’t take win-

ning for granted, even if others don’t appreciate how difficult it is. That includes his daughter. Woods told a story of 6-year-old Sam being curious about the Torrey pine on the trophy, which reminded his daughter of the Bonsai tree she had seen in “Karate Kid.” “She thought that’s what it was,” Woods said. “I said, ‘No, they’re a little bit bigger than that.’ I had to go online and show her the pictures and everything. I had all these trophies lined up and she said, ‘You need to get one of those.’”

Woods tried to explain that it wasn’t that simple, that he had to play better golf than 155 other guys to earn it. “She said, ‘OK, go do it,” he said. And so he did. Woods had an eight-shot lead on the back nine before the final round in a fog-delayed tournament was so backed up that it took forever to finish and Woods lost patience. He won by four shots, and then surprised tournament officials when he wanted to take the trophy home on the plane instead of the tradition of shipping. He did not want

to walk in the door as the winner at Torrey Pines without that trophy. “They put it literally in the middle of the living room,” Woods said. “Everybody was dancing around the trophy.” The music cranks back up on Thursday — another dance, his 19th year as a pro. The tune hasn’t changed. Woods conceded there are things he can’t do at 38 that he could when he was 24, such as produce the same speed when he rotates through the ball. But he’s also stronger and a lot smarter in dissecting a golf course.

(M) Coahoma 72, Northeast 64 Keldrick Lesley came out of the intermission on fire for the Tigers and knocked down their first three baskets in the second half. Two treys and a layup from the Booneville native extended Northeast’s lead to 43-32 with 17:07 remaining in the matchup. Ben Seely gave the Tigers their biggest advantage moments later with a nice field goal down low, but Coahoma (5-10, 3-2) found the shooters touch from that point on. The guests scored 17 of the next 22 points and took the lead at 55-54 on a Markevius Brown three-pointer. Northeast hung close with buckets from Al Azulphar and Chris Echols in the waning moments of the contest, but the Tigers hit 7 of 8 free throws in the final two minutes to clinch the triumph. The Tigers (3-12, 0-4) outshot their adversary by 17 percent and were a yearly best 54.5 percent from the floor. Azulphar headed the effort with 14 points, his fourth straight outing to reach double figures.

NASCAR has been working feverishly behind the scenes to improve its on-track product, particularly at 1?-mile tracks, and at least some changes are expected to the points system. NASCAR is reportedly considering a 16-driver championship field that would be whittled down to create a winner-take-all season finale. Chairman Brian France has repeatedly said he wants to place greater emphasis on winning, and he’s never ruled out tinkering with the Chase for

the Sprint Cup championship format in an effort to create the “Game 7 moments” he covets. Revamping qualifying should enhance track experience on non-race days, something track owners coveted for years. “I think the direction NASCAR has taken on a new qualifying format is exactly what we need and I applaud them for taking this step,” Martinsville Speedway president Clay Campbell said. “These two qualifying sessions will be pressure-packed for the teams and drivers, which will make

it very exciting for the fans to watch.” Added Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway: “I applaud NASCAR’s willingness to try something new to make qualifying more compelling for our fans. ... (This) is a positive step in the direction we need to go to create compelling on-track action all weekend. It will be interesting to watch what strategies teams utilize to get the best starting spot they can.” Teams will be allowed to run as many laps as they want

in our girls’ minds because that doesn’t happen everyday.” Coahoma mistakes were a key part in a stretch of 20 straight points by the Lady Tigers near the end of the first period that put Northeast in command of the contest. The spurt started innocently enough with two Daisha Williams free throws with 5:30 remaining to cut the visiting Lady Tigers’ advantage to 24-22. Antionette Riddle tied things up and then put Northeast in front for good at the 2:46 mark with back-to-back baskets. Aushiana Ivy stole the ball moments later, one of four Coahoma errors during the run, and Williams converted it with an old-fashioned three-point play to give the Lady Tigers their first double-digit advantage at 32-22. Before two makes at the charity stripe by Gabrielle Gilbert ended the amazing streak by Northeast, Coahoma was held scoreless for a span of 5 minutes, 28 seconds to allow the home standing Lady Tigers to take a 40-26 lead in to the locker room. “That probably was the key part of the game,” Alexander said. “Our defensive pressure was really good and we were able to push ahead.” Coahoma (1-12, 0-5) attempted to comeback multiple times in the second half and came as close as 40-35 with 16:56 to play after an Antoinette Mayfield make. However, Jasmine Allen and Williams hit two shots in a row from behind the arc to quell that threat and the Lady Tigers came no closer to Northeast’s lead. Riddle recorded her first double-double for the Lady Tigers with 26 points and 10 rebounds, both career-highs for the sophomore guard from Tupelo. Ivy added 11 points while Teresa Mays tallied 10 to contribute to the first Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) North Division win of the 2013-14 campaign for Northeast (6-9, 1-3). Twenty-two of Coahoma’s 33 forced turnovers were from Lady Tiger steals. Kiki Gwyn topped that category with seven, a season-best for the Kossuth High School alumnus. Coahoma was held to 23.1 percent from three-point range. Gilbert led her squad with 18 points and 11 rebounds while Ariel Jones scored 14 and Krystal Pearson notched 12.
