PepsiCo has announced it will close its Corinth beverages warehouse by the end of February.

The closure of the Pepsi warehouse at 917 Highway 45, a staple in the community for more than 25 years, will affect 34 employees. “We are planning to close PepsiCo’s Corinth beverages warehouse at the end of February and associated work will move to our Tupelo warehouse,� said Vincent Bozek from Pepsi North America Beverages. “The majority of employees currently located in Corinth will have the opportu-

According to PepsiCo’s website, Pepsi manages more than 40 bottling plants and move than 50 warehouses in North America. “This difficult decision was not made lightly,� added Bozek. “We’re committed to supporting the remaining people who were affected by this action by offering outplacement services.�

Flames destroy family residence

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

It was pandemonium Monday morning as firefighters from four different stations responded to a ferocious blaze at a residence on CR 556 near the Prentiss County line.

At approximately 7:30 a.m., firemen arrived to find the home, located on a dead end drive, had already been decimated by flames.

The structure was unrecognizable, resulting in a total loss.

Firefighters scrambled to contain grass fires as it raged out of control.

A gas tank near the home had become dangerously overheated and had to be cooled off. “It took six or seven thou-

sand gallons of water to extinguish the flames,� said Pisgah Fire Chief Gary Yancey, whose unit was the lead fire department working the scene.

Tankers and responders from Southwest V.F.D., Biggersville V.F.D., Jacinto V.F.D. and Pisgah V.F.D. also responded to the call.

Flames reignited a few hours later and were doused yet again. “The floor is still burning,� said Yancey at about 2 p.m.

Monday.

Embers will continue to smoke and smolder for som time.

No one was at the residence when the fire started. “The cause of the fire is still undetermined,� said Yancy.

The 14-year-old has six races on his agenda when the Chase’n Race’n PRO Kart Tour makes it first visit to the area.

Marsh and over 300 other racers will take over the Crossroads Arena Friday and Saturday to see who is the best gokart driver. “The Pro Kart Tour is one of the biggest series out there,â€? said the Kossuth Middle School eighth grader. “There will be a lot of beating and banging this weekend since it’s an indoor track.â€? “The competition will be really close ‌ it could come down to one thousandth of a second,â€? added Ricky Marsh, Bryant’s grandfather.

Dirt was slated to put down on the arena floor Monday and Tuesday with the track for the series on tap to be formed Wednesday. “People in Corinth don’t really understand when it comes to this type of go-kart,� said Bryant’s father, Jonathan Marsh. “These karts are very fast and it’s a super competitive tour.�

VFW Post planning golden celebration for 50th anniversary

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

VFW Post 3962 is planning a golden celebration.

The Fort Robinette Post, with a member of 260, will mark its 50th year in the community on Feb. 20. “Our goal has always been to take care of veterans,� said Post Commander Bill Parker. “A majority of everything we collect is put right back into the community to help others.�

Post members work closely with the Men’s and Ladie’s auxiliaries. The two auxiliaries are support organization of the post. “We want to take care of com-

munity,� said 3962 member Tom Reinke, Sr. “It’s important to all of us that no veteran is left behind,� added Edie Simpson, Ladies Auxiliary President.

A potluck meal will be served at 6 p.m. on the anniversary date. Recent Voice of Democracy state winner Marlee Sue Bradley is also slated to be honored.

Parker is hoping any charter members of the post still around will attend the event. “Not many people know around six men put up their own money and took out a loan to start the post,� said the commander. “The post would

like to invite all charter members to the anniversary celebration.�

National commander William A. Thien recently paid tribute to the post in a letter.

“Post 3962 has an outstanding record of service to the community, veterans and to the nation over the past 50 years,� said the national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. Founded in 1899 and chartered by Congress in 1936, the VFW is the nation’s largest organization of war veterans and its oldest major veterans’ organization.

The VFW and its Auxiliaries are dedicated to veterans’ service, legislative advocacy, and military and community service programs worldwide. “Everything we do, we all work together,�said Parker.

The local post is involved in such things as flag retirement ceremony each Flag Day in June, Patriotic Pen Essay Contest, Boy Scout of the Year Award, supporter of Pine Vale Children’s Home, along with charitable support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Salvation Army, Mississippi Burn Foundation and the VFW Children’s Home among other things.

The local post also is a drop off site for Project Package.

A Super Bowl party along with Valentine’s Dance and Easter Egg Hunt are a few of the upcoming events planned by 3962.

On this day in history 150 years ago Gen. Polk complains to the Adjutant General that his command, which includes Corinth, does not have a name. His suggestion of Department of the Southwest is dismissed in favor of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana.

4-H members needed as pages STARKVILLE — Nothing teaches more about how government works than actually working in government, which four Mississippi 4-H youth will have the opportunity to do.

The 2014 Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves 4-H Senate Page Program is seeking qualified young people to serve one week in the Mississippi Senate. Chosen students will serve as pages March 31 to April 4, supporting the work of the senators.

Missippi State University Extension Service.

4-H is the youth development program of the Extension Service.

“4-H’ers who are chosen to serve will be able to experience the legislative process in action,” said Terence Norwood, an Extension instructor for the Center for Government and Community Development.

Applicants must be 4-H members in high school between the ages of 14 and 19 as of Jan. 1. They

must have at least a B average in their classes.

Applicants must express their knowledge of, involvement with and interest in issues relating to citizenship, leadership and governmental functions. Four finalists will be chosen for the positions.

Participating teens must agree to abide by behavioral standards expected of 4-H members. Mailed applications must be postmarked no later than Feb. 24, and emailed applications must be received by 5 p.m. that day. Forms are available at county Extension offices.

This program has been offered to 4-H youth for the last 21 years. 4-H will provide lodging at a nearby hotel, accident insurance and a chaperone.

For information about the 4-H legislative page program, contact Norwood at 601-857-2284 or tnorwood@ext.msstate.edu.

championships for various types of karting.

Racers can begin organized races starting at the age of five. Bryant climbed into his first kart at the age of 10.

“Dad and pop raced and they talked me into it,” said the youngest Marsh racer.

“Jonathan was real aggressive and won a lot of races,” added Ricky in comparing his son and grandson. “It takes a while to learn this, but Bryant is getting there and I am proud of him.”

According to Ricky Marsh, kart racing is a lot like NASCAR. “The karts are scaled down just like NASCAR,” said Ricky, who is part of the pit crew along with Jonathan and Patrick Gilliam. “They even have an onboard computer that measures the RPM.” Many of today’s drivers at the highest levels of racing got their beginning in competitive karting, including Tony Stewart, Jamie McMurray, A.J. Allmendinger and Danica Patrick.

Bryant has hopes of joining that list in the future. Following Friday and Saturday, plans have the youngster moving up from karts.

“This will probably be his last race in the division,” said his father. “He wants to start racing Late Models.”

His newest black ride is ready to go in his pop’s shop with the trademark #1 on the sides.

On Friday he still has some unfinished business in kart racing, Bryant is set to take part in the Senior Clone Medium and Junior III Mixed

During each division there is a practice, qualifier and then feature race.

Each race is normally 1520 laps.

Winning big races isn’t something new to the

Kossuth Middle School student. Several of his trophies are lined on a shelf in his grandfather’s shop.

His biggest win came in 2012 as he captured the O’Reilly Indoor Championship for the 12-15 yearold division in Batesville.

“It was one of the big-

gest kart races in the country,” he said of the race.

This weekend, he wants to go out in style in his home town “There will a bunch of guys who do this for a living in the pro division, but the reason I race is to win” he said.

“Chocolates are eaten, flowers fade away, But a Little gift goes a long way!”

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Jan. 28, the 28th day of 2014. There are 337 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff from Cape Canaveral, killing all seven crew members, including schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe.

On this date: In A.D. 814, Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne died in Aachen in present-day Germany.

In 1547, England’s King Henry VIII died; he was succeeded by his 9-year-old son, Edward VI. In 1813, the novel “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen was first published anonymously in London.

In 1853, Cuban revolutionary Jose Marti was born in Havana.

In 1909, the United States withdrew its forces from Cuba as Jose Miguel Gomez became president.

In 1915, the United States Coast Guard was created as President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill merging the LifeSaving Service and Revenue Cutter Service.

In 1939, Irish poetdramatist William Butler Yeats died in Menton, France.

In 1945, during World War II, Allied supplies began reaching China over the newly reopened Burma Road.

In 1958, Elvis Presley made his first national TV appearance on “Stage Show,” a CBS program hosted by Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey.

In 1973, a cease-fire officially went into effect in the Vietnam War. In 1980, six U.S. diplomats who had avoided being taken hostage at their embassy in Tehran flew out of Iran with the help of Canadian diplomats.

In 1982, Italian antiterrorism forces rescued U.S. Brig. Gen. James L. Dozier, 42 days after he had been kidnapped by the Red Brigades.

Ten years ago: British Prime Minister Tony Blair won a legal victory when a judge said the BBC was wrong to report the government had “sexed up” intelligence to justify war in Iraq. Former U.S. Navy commander Lloyd “Pete” Bucher, who’d helped his USS Pueblo crew survive brutal captivity in North Korea, then faced criticism back home, died in Poway, Calif., at age 76.

Five years ago: In a swift victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House approved, 244188, a huge $819 billion stimulus bill with Republicans unanimous in opposition despite Obama’s pleas for bipartisan support. Lynyrd Skynyrd keyboard player Billy Powell died in Orange Park, Fla., at age 56.

Lawmakers asked to decide Governor declares advance tuition plan’s fate emergency before expected storm The Associated Press

JACKSON — The board that runs Mississippi’s prepaid college tuition program said Monday that it wants the Legislature to decide whether the state should reopen the plan to new enrollments or close it.

The plan allows parents or grandparents to pay the cost of tuition at a state community college or university in advance.

If reopening is the answer, the college savings board said it needs $7 million a year over the next 20 years to make up an $83 million shortfall.

Closing the plan would be even more expensive, requiring $11 million a year for 20 years.

The plan is backed by the full faith and credit of the state, meaning the board isn’t allowed to pay less than full tuition for enrollees.

Board members said they favor reopening, but said they’re likely to charge more in the future to cushion against shortfalls.

“The sense of the board is the Legislature is the 800-pound gorilla and the policy-making body for the state of Mississippi, and at least you need to know what the issues are,” said Commu-

nity College Board Executive Director Eric Clark, a member of the savings board. “But the sense of the board is, we want to keep the program open.”

The board, under Republican Treasurer Lynn Fitch, declined to open the program’s enrollment period in fall 2012, citing an accumulating shortfall. The plan also stayed closed in 2013.

Today, the plan has 21,000 contract holders.

At the end of the last budget year, the plan had assets of $295 million and was 80.2 percent funded.

That’s a shortfall of nearly $83 million.

“We’ve got to address the shortfall, and a cash infusion by the Legislature is one way to do that,” board member Cory Wilson said.

Lawmakers said they would act, but could tell the board to reopen the program without providing any money.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, said the board’s decision to decrease the amount it projects to earn from investments makes the plan look worse than it otherwise would. He also questioned whether Mississippi’s public colleges and universities will continue

to increase tuition at the rates they have over the past six years.

“They’ve changed a number of the assumptions to make the plan look as bad as it looks today,” Reeves said.

He said fluctuations in the funding share are normal.

“Is it possible, at some point in the future, that additional monies will need to be put into the plan?” he said. “It’s possible.”

Reeves was state treasurer for eight years before being elected lieutenant governor. If the Legislature had to add money for the tuition program, it could reflect badly on his management. The lieutenant governor has another reason to want the program to continue: He owns contracts for each of his three daughters.

Wilson said it’s unrealistic to expect investment returns to make up the gap and said the lower rate of return is more realistic.

It’s unclear what the savings plan board will do if lawmakers don’t act.

They can close the plan on their own, but only if they make immediate refunds to every contract holder more than five years from college.

JACKSON— Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant issued an emergency declaration Monday for 36 of the state’s 82 counties to speed up response to a storm that’s expected to bring snow and ice to central and southern parts of the state starting early Tuesday.

The Highway Patrol was sending 20 extra troopers to the southern part of the state, and crews from the Mississippi Department of Transportation were putting salt brine, sand or liquid magnesium on highways and bridges in the area that could see dangerous accumulation. It runs from the I-20 corridor that runs through Vicksburg, Jackson and Meridian, on down to the Gulf Coast.

“As always in these types of situations, we’re hoping for the very best conditions and planning for the worst,” Bryant said during a briefing late Monday at the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Pearl.

Bryant said 26 school districts had already can-

celed Tuesday classes because of concerns about slick roads, and other closures were possible.

The National Weather Service predicts ice accumulations up to threequarters of an inch along the Gulf Coast; snow accumulations of up to 4 inches along the U.S. Highway 84 corridor; and up to an inch of snow along and south of the Interstate 20 corridor.

A hard freeze warning was out for portions of north Mississippi from Monday night until midday Wednesday. The weather service warned temperatures were expected to fall into the upper teens Monday and remain below freezing on Tuesday and fall back in to the teens Tuesday night. Forecasters said temperatures would not rise above freezing until Wednesday afternoon.

MEMA director Robert Latham said people should make their own preparations before the storm hits.

“There’s nothing like an ice storm. Response to it is challenging,” Latham said, recalling a 1994 ice storm.

“I am committed to continuing to implement these standards,” said Wright, “and let me emphasize — this is a piece of clarity that I’ve been trying to provide as I have been traveling around the state — the State Board of Education adopted standards. They did not adopt a curriculum, and there is a difference. Standards simply set targets for what we want students to know and be able to do at each grade level. A curriculum is developed by the local school district, which includes the teaching strategies, the lessons, the materials. And neither the state nor especially the federal government controls that.

well,” she said. “That’s what you do each day at work ... and that’s what the Common Core is designed to do to help out students.”

Most states have signed on to Common Core, which sets standards for math and language.

The state board also requested $15 million to help prepare for the requirement that thirdgraders read on grade level in order to advance.

The state superintendent said early childhood education is the key.

“Preschoolers with large vocabularies tend to become proficient readers … exposure to expanded vocabulary and reading may put children on the right path, not only academically, but socially and emotionally,” said Wright.

She was in Corinth for the Corinth School District’s education summit.

Corinth, Miss.

Will Republicans throw Mississippi under the VRA bus?

Will House Republican colleagues of Mississippi GOP U.S. Reps. Gregg Harper, Alan Nunnelee and Steven Palazzo throw Mississippi under the political bus in an attempt to “fix” what the U.S. Supreme Sid Salter Court has ruled was an unfair Columnist and outdated provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act? Last year, the high court struck down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. At inception, Section 5 declared all or parts of 15 states were “covered jurisdictions” under the Voting Rights Act. “Covered jurisdiction” states, counties and municipalities could not implement voting law changes without federal “preclearance” by the Justice Department.

States included in the “covered jurisdiction” by the Voting Rights Act included: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. There were also counties in California, Florida, New York, North Carolina, and South Dakota as well as some cities in Michigan and New Hampshire that are included.

The Voting Right Act provided extensive federal oversight of elections administration in states with “a history of discriminatory voting practices” (which the act specified as the ‘covered jurisdictions’) and despite the passage of nearly a half-century, the highest percentage black voters in the country, and the largest number of black elected officials of any state in the union, Mississippi election law changes were still subject to federal preclearance in 2013.

In Mississippi and the rest of the “covered jurisdictions,” that meant every election law or election procedures change – including ones as simple as moving a polling place was made automatically slower, more difficult and more costly.

Such was the case in the rest of the “covered jurisdiction” states. Writing for the majority of the Supreme Court last year, Chief Justice John Roberts held that Chief Justice John Roberts asserted that the constitution forbids Congress to require some states, and not others, to get prior federal approval for potentially discriminatory election changes.

Reaction from the left and particularly from Democrats was that the high court’s current conservative majority had “ripped the heart out of the Voting Rights Act.” But reaction in most of the covered jurisdiction states was jubilance in that they saw the decision as one that treated their states as the rest of the country had been treated for 50 years.

Roberts left the door open for Congress to revisit the Voting Rights Act from a less arbitrary posture in the future – and here’s where the story gets interesting for Mississippians.

A new piece of legislation has been introduced as the Voting Rights Act of 2014.

Authored by a bipartisan group of federal lawmakers, the bill would drop the “covered jurisdictions” from all or parts of 15 states down to just four – Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. The bill already has some GOP support and one key Republican who has reportedly considered supporting the bill is House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Cantor’s support could The bill would allow many Republicans in the House outside the four states to support a re-empowerment of the Voting Right Act without political penalty in their own states.

The bill also essentially exempts voter identification from additional federal scrutiny.

The bill represents a hold-your-nose victory for liberal Democrats in that four states are put back under the old Section 5 preclearance requirements, but beyond that it’s a greatly weakened level of voting rights protections.

For the GOP, the bill offers the potential for offering an olive branch to minority voters.

But for Harper, Nunnelee and Palazzo, the bill – should it pass - offers nothing but a chance to explain that Mississippi got the short end of the stick and is still being held to a different political and legal standard than the rest of the country on elections laws.

Partisan divide marks Legislature JACKSON — Democrats are starting their third year as the minority party in both chambers of the Mississippi Legislature, and they’re not making life easy for Republicans.

The first big House debate of the year was over a welfare drug-testing bill pushed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant. The four-hour fight demonstrated that Republicans have enough votes to pass almost anything they want, and can do it without even bothering to rebut Democrats’ arguments. Democrats, however, didn’t hand Republicans a quick victory.

Most GOP members sat silently while the Republican chairman of the Public Health and Human Services Committee, Sam Mims of McComb, fielded dozens of questions from Democrats who saw the bill as meanspirited political pandering.

Democrats also offered several amendments that failed, including one to require drug testing of corporate executives whose companies receive state aid.

“We’re trying to help people,” Mims said of welfare recipients. “We’re not trying to be punitive with this population.”

Rep. Bobby Moak of Bogue C h i t t o , the House Democratic leader, said Emily during the Wagster debate: “It’s Pettus just kind of hard to feel Capitol Dome the love in the language of this legislation.”

If House Bill 49 becomes law, people applying for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families would have to answer a questionnaire, and those deemed likely to be users of illegal drugs would have to submit to a drug test. Mims said if drugs were detected, the person would have to undergo outpatient treatment.

TANF benefits would be paid during that time, but would be canceled if the person failed a second drug test after treatment.

The Mississippi Department of Human Services says that for fiscal 2013, which ended June 30, the average monthly payment to a family receiving TANF was $140, while the average payment to an individual was $67. In June, 9,563 families received TANF

payments.

The bill passed 74-46, with all Republicans who were present voting “yes” and most Democrats voting “no.” It goes to the Senate for more work.

TANF drug testing is not the only issue with a clear partisan divide.

Many Democrats say Mississippi should expand Medicaid to an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 uninsured, low-income residents. Expansion is an option under the federal health overhaul signed into law by President Barack Obama. The federal government would pay most of the cost, but Bryant and other Republicans say they don’t trust promises of funding.

Democrats are pushing for as-yet unspecified raises for teachers and state employees. There’s been little talk among Republicans about increasing state employees’ pay, and many say the state can’t afford everything the Democrats propose. GOP House Speaker Philip Gunn supports an across-the-board teacher raise, but Bryant and Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves favor merit pay.

One day last week, House and Senate Democrats

gathered in the Capitol rotunda and called for a swift death to a Public Employees Retirement System bill filed

by Republican Sen. Sean Tindell of Gulfport. Senate Bill 2140 would make state and local government retirees wait until 65 to collect an annual cost-of-living adjustment, even if they retire years earlier.

“We’ve got another legislative session, and we’ve got another Republican attack on the retirement system,” said Sen. Hob Bryan, DAmory.

Tindell said he’s trying to preserve PERS, adding that criticism from longtime lawmakers is “disingenuous” because they voted for policies he sees as fiscally irresponsible.

The bill appears headed to defeat because the Senate Finance Committee chairman, Republican Joey Fillingane of Sumrall, opposes it. On PERS, the partisan divide is blurrier. Lawmakers in both parties recognize the political danger of angering state workers and retirees by discussing changes to the system.

Girls’ day out a time for making memories OCEAN SPRINGS — My holiday visitor, Emma, 6, wanted a Girls’ Day Out, as they are called. You shop, you lunch leisurely, you do things for which most men have little patience, and you return home with secrets and sweet-smelling packages.

It was only fair to indulge Emma because her brother, Jordan, 9, was on a speedboat near Delacroix, La., with the Fisher-Man Guide Service battling a 30-mileper-hour wind to catch speckled trout, his idea of real fun.

Jordan didn’t bait a hook or remove a fish from one; he simply stood on the bow and pulled in his catch with the regularity of a metronome. The trout he brought home were already cleaned.

The guide service prepared a YouTube video showing part of the excursion, and aptly matched video with sound -- the Bob Seger classic “Against the Wind.”

I may go with the boys next time.

I thought carefully about what might interest both Emma and her mother.

Rheta I finally deJohnson cided on the Walter Columnist Anderson Museum of Art in lovely little Ocean Springs, which never grows old to me.

Anderson’s art, in fact, has an unadulterated style that appeals to all ages. It might have been painted by a child, if that child was a genius about color and perspective.

Before we left home, I read Emma a children’s book about Walter Anderson so she’d understand the mystery and madness of a man some call America’s Van Gogh.

Emma liked the idea of the secret room in Walter’s little cottage at Shearwater Compound, a space he painted from stem to stern

and that nobody but the artist saw till he died. When his widow unlocked the door to that room, she entered a kaleidoscope of color and creatures with a zinnia for the ceiling.

The entire room was moved to the museum -- a good thing, since otherwise it probably would have floated away during Katrina.

I loved seeing, for the hundredth time, the seagreen skiff that Walter used to row to Horn Island to commune with nature and fuel his art. That remarkable artifact, too, would have been lost in the storm if not for the museum.

After our art fix, we had lunch at a cafe that has what young mommies call “PeeBee and Jays,” otherwise known as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Then we progressed to an oldfashioned soda fountain on Ocean Spring’s main drag for a strawberry ice-cream cone.

I was pushing my luck a

little and knew it, but I insisted on showing Emma the shop where Walter’s relatives still sell the pottery that for decades has been the family business. She chose a Trojan horse to take home to Virginia and made friends with the resident dog.

I wondered on the ride home if Emma, decades hence, will run across a reference to the painter Walter Anderson and think, “I have seen his hideaway.”

Or if Jordan, when he’s an old man too tired to fish, will think about the day his father paid for a guide and a boat to get him to the action.

We inflict upon children our own passions and prejudices, so it’s wise to be careful what we choose as rewards for children whose innocence earn them.

U.S. considers how to prevent spying WASHINGTON — The U.S. government is looking into encryption techniques that could prevent eavesdroppers from spying on its own surveillance of Americans’ phone records.

As the Obama administration considers shifting the collection of those records from the National Security Agency to requiring that they be stored at phone companies or elsewhere, it’s quietly funding research to prevent phone company employees or eavesdroppers from seeing whom the U.S. is spying on, The Associated Press has learned.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has paid at least five research teams across the country to develop a system for high-volume, encrypted searches of electronic records kept outside the government’s possession. The project is among several ideas that would allow the government to discontinue storing Americans’ phone records, but still search them as needed.

Under the research, U.S. data mining would be shielded by secret coding that could conceal identifying details from outsiders and even the owners of the targeted databases, according to public documents obtained by The Associated Press and AP interviews with researchers, corporate executives and govern-

ment officials. Â

Obama to focus on the achievable WASHINGTON — No longer about bold ambitions, this year’s State of the Union address will focus more on what’s actually achievable.

For the White House, that dose of realism is aimed at avoiding a repeat of 2013, when a long list of unfulfilled policy goals — including gun control and an immigration overhaul — dragged President Barack Obama down like an anchor. Tuesday’s prime-time address will focus instead on redefining success for Obama — not by what he can jam through Congress but rather by what he can accomplish through his own presidential powers.

He is expected to announce executive actions on job training, retirement security and help for the long-term unemployed in finding work. All are part of the White House focus this year on boosting economic mobility and narrowing the income gap between the wealthy and the poor.

Another action Obama is expected to announce is the creation of a new retirement savings plan geared toward workers whose employers don’t currently offer such plans. Because commercial retirement accounts often have fees or high minimum deposits that are onerous for low-wage workers, this program would allow first-time savers

Once the savings grew large enough, a worker could convert the account into a traditional IRA, according to two people who have discussed the proposal with the administration. Â

Monroe drug raid leads to 2 arrests NETTLETON — Authorities in Monroe County say two people were arrested Saturday after a raid on a suspected methamphetamine lab in Nettleton.

Deputies tell WTVATV that 47-year-old Gary Stafford and 38-year-old Carol Stafford were arrested at a site on Metts Road.

Investigators say each was booked at the Monroe County jail with possession of two or more precursors with intent to manufacture. Â

GOP tries to train new candidates WASHINGTON — Having watched several promising campaigns collapse in 2012 after candidates made catastrophic mistakes, national Republican leaders are leaving nothing to chance as they prepare for this year’s midterm elections.

They’re summoning contenders— especially those who seem inexperienced, unpredictable or inclined to provocative opinions — to firstof-a-kind training at the GOP’s Senate campaign headquarters to learn, in part, what not to say and how not to say it.

It’s a delicate intervention, but one deemed essential by officials smarting from campaign debacles that cost the GOP winnable races, including Senate seats in Missouri and Indiana, last time. “Hopefully, everyone has paid attention to the huge blunders that were made,� said Ari Fleischer, former top aide to President George W. Bush who helped draft a postelection analysis for the Republican National Committee after the 2012 campaign. “You can’t buy enough ads to cover up a candidate who is flawed.�

Jury selected for injection death trial JACKSON — Opening arguments are scheduled Tuesday in the trial of a woman charged with helping arrange the unlicensed buttocks injections that prosecutors say killed a Georgia woman in 2012.

A jury of seven men and five women was chosen Monday for Natasha Stewart’s trial.

Stewart, also known as Pebbelz Da Model, has pleaded not guilty to charges including depraved-heart murder in the death of 37-yearold Karima Gordon, of Atlanta.

Prosecutors say Gordon paid Stewart $200 for a referral to the injector.

Authorities say Gordon died from blood clots in her lungs days after being injected with silicone.

tors say a space heater appears to be the cause of an early morning fire that left a family of 5 homeless.

Fire Battalion Chief Ken Payne of the Gulfport Fire Department tells WLOX-TV that the heater, placed close to curtains in the home, is the likely cause of the fire that broke out Monday around 3 a.m.

Payne says the 5 people in the house on 23rd Avenue escaped unhurt. Â

US court rejects Saunders’ petition JACKSON — The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to look at a post-conviction petition from Herman Saunders, who was convicted of two counts of capital murder in Mississippi in 1997.

Saunders had wanted to challenge jury instructions and sufficiency of the evidence.

Saunders is serving two life sentences without parole for hiring

two men to kill Bennie Brown, a witness to a shooting.

The Supreme Court on Monday denied Saunders’ petition without comment.

Prosecutors said Saunders offered $3,000 each to Carlos Stewart and Danny Porter to kill Brown.

Prosecutors said Saunders wanted to prevent Brown from testifying to a Lauderdale County grand jury about a September 1993 shooting.

They said Saunders fired shots into a vehicle occupied by Brown and Gloria Lampley.

Lampley was then Saunders’ girlfriend and by the time of trial was his wife.

Stewart and Porter killed Brown and Brown’s niece, fearing she might identify them to police.

Brown and his niece were murdered at Brown’s home on Oct. 30, 1993, two days before Brown was to appear before the grand jury.

Tarantino sues over leaked film script LOS ANGELES — Quentin Tarantino sued the news and gossip website Gawker on Monday over a post that directed readers to a leaked copy of the Oscar-winning screenwriter’s latest movie.

Tarantino’s lawsuit accuses Gawker Media LLC of copyright infringement for posting a link to the 146-page script for a planned film titled “The Hateful Eight” last week.

A link to the script was posted on Gawker’s Defamer blog and remained active on Monday afternoon, despite demands from Tarantino’s lawyers to take it down, the lawsuit states.

Tarantino blasted the leak last week in an interview with Deadline. com and said he would abandon the project as a film. His lawsuit states he planned to publish the screenplay and that practice in the past has earned him hefty royalties and advances.

His lawsuit states his damages as a result of the Gawker post will be more than $1 million.

Woman forged judge’s signature LAUREL— A Wayne County woman has been sentenced to house arrest after pleading guilty to forging a judge’s signature to documents to establish the paternity of her child and collect child support from a man who was not the biological father of the child.

Circuit Judge Billy Joe Landrum sentenced Keeba LaQuita SmithBreeland this past week to two 2-year house arrest sentences to be served concurrently.

Breeland was on pretrial intervention last year when she forged Chancery Judge Franklin McKenzie’s signature on documents and began collecting child support payments from the alleged father. She was removed from the pre-trial intervention program in September when she incurred a second count of forgery.

In the second case, Breeland had forged additional documents claiming that another man owed her child support. She sent the fraudulent paperwork to the man in question who, in turn, provided the paperwork to his attorney.

When his attorney attempted to validate the documents in Jones County, an employee of the chancery court advised him that the documents could not be legal because they were dated July 5, a day that the office had been closed in observance of Independence Day. It is unclear how many

Meridian Civil War Trail to be dedicated MERIDIAN — A Civil War Trail will be dedicated in Lauderdale County on Feb. 14, the 150th anniversary of the burning of Meridian by Union troops under the command of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman.

“That is the day the burning began in 1864.

So we thought how appropriate to unveil our trail and the markers on that day as a tie-in to its historical significance,” said Stephen Martin of the local tourism department, Visit Meridian.

The Meridian Star reported the trail will include 10 markers at significant sites throughout the area.

Visit Meridian plans a Civil War symposium before the dedication.

The population of Meridian was about 400 when the Union army attacked, Martin said.

The city, situated near the Alabama border and with a direct line to Jackson, was of strategic importance to the Union.

Sherman wanted to disable Meridian’s three railroad systems, Martin said.

“He even made the famous quote about how we no longer existed,” Martin said. “But just in 26 days, the city rebuilt.

That’s just how resilient the community was.”

The work to establish the trail has been a cooperative effort of several local governments as well as tourism interests.

Many bus tour inquiries indicate an interest in either the Civil War or the Civil Rights Movement, said Visit Meridian executive director Dede Mogollon.

Each marker on the trail will be equipped with a QR code, which will allow smartphone users to get much more information than is available on the marker itself, Mogollon said.

All people embark on personal inner journeys In order for things to be right in your world, things have to first be right inside you. Although having a positive attitude and perception is essential, there is an inner you that is the very core of your being.

This is the place where unresolved pain, frustration, stress, and struggle get buried when not properly acknowledged and dealt with. Although you think they are safely hidden away, these emotions still impact who you are and how you feel.

Using a strategy of pushing unresolved issues below the surface creates an ever increasing emotional pressure. As you persist in this process, you adjust to the gradually rising pressure as being normal. However, this

is a flawed strategy that inevitably causes the very turmoil you Bryan are anxGolden ious to avoid.

Dare to Live As the Without Limits pressure builds, your sensitivity to those buried issues grows as well. You may appear to be a solidly grounded, centered person, but there is an emotional current running below the surface. You can be great at dealing with most of the challenges life throws at you, but when someone or something touches what is supposedly locked away, you become overwhelmed with the rush of

happens, your emotional state is linked to other people. You have thus made your well being someone else’s responsibility. If they do not provide the refuge you seek, your frustration level grows. Then, facing the exact opposite result desired, you bury these additional frustrations in an effort to just have some tranquility.

When your peace and happiness comes from within, there is a profound positive impact on the way you experience your world. You free yourself to appreciate other people without becoming dependent on them for your well being or putting unreasonable expectations on them.

The journey to inner peace requires constant

an emotional surge.

The flare-up of these buried emotions shakes your world. They are the antithesis of how you see yourself. Although emotional outbursts subside, the pent up pressure does not diminish on its own.

Any interspersed lulls are mistakenly interpreted as serenity when in fact they are only the troughs between waves.

Not understanding this process, or the critical need to take immediate corrective action, relegates you to an endless cycle of agony. Frustration and conflicts are the alarms that something is wrong that needs to be corrected.

Deep frustration is only exacerbated by depending on someone else to provide relief. When this

awareness and correction as needed. The process of looking inside for happiness is contrary to the way we have been conditioned.

Virtually all of our examples growing up teach the external approach.

Any dark emotions lurking below the surface must be identified and properly dealt with.

Left alone, they accumulate without an expiration date. Although these emotions may lie dormant for extended periods, the feelings are all too ready to surface.

The journey into your core is one of life’s biggest challenges. You come face to face with long avoided issues. You must make a commitment to yourself to break the cycle and move forward.

When you make mis-

takes, you have to honestly acknowledge your failings and weaknesses before embarking on the rebuilding process. It is a difficult process but worth every ounce of effort required.

As you progress, you will disperse these buried emotions that have been clouding your perception.

One of the many benefits will be an enhanced appreciation of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your inner journey will be one of amazing positive transformation that immeasurably enhances your happiness.

originally planned. It was unclear what the next course of action would be regarding the incommunicado camera, but Kotov and Ryazanskiy were assured there would be no more spacewalks to deal with the problem.

“Well, at least one of them is working,” one of them said.

All the external camera connections are believed to be solid, Russian Mission Control told the astronauts, and it was suggested that some files might be to blame.

The Canadian company that owns the two cameras, UrtheCast (pronounced EARTH-cast) Corp., has a business plan to distribute the images collected. The cameras were launched to the space station last November in a deal between the Vancouver-based UrtheCast and the Russian Space Agency.

UrtheCast seeks to post near-real-time video on its website and sell images. The company envisions customers wanting video feeds for environmental, agricultural and humanitarian purposes.

The company had expected the system to be fully operational by summer.

Because of all the camera data trouble during the Dec. 27 spacewalk, which dragged on for eight hours, Kotov and Ryazanskiy had to put off other chores. Those tasks were completed Monday.

The four other space station astronauts — two Americans, one Japanese and another Russian — kept tabs on the spacewalk from inside.

Russian flight controllers outside Moscow directed Monday’s 260-mile-high excursion.

Before going back inside, Kotov, the station’s commander, was told to check out the orbiting outpost “as the master of the house.”

“Let’s take a picture for future generations,” one of the spacewalkers said.

And so they did.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Two Russian space station astronauts took a spacewalk Monday to complete a camera job left undone last month, but ran into new trouble.

Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy successfully installed one of two commercially provided cameras for Earth observations, a task requiring multiple power connections outside the International Space Station. Everything checked out well with this high-definition camera, unlike the postChristmas spacewalk where there was no data stream.

But the second, medium-resolution camera did not provide good data to ground controllers after Monday’s hookup.

Ryazanskiy redid the electrical connections — to no avail. He spotted no damage.

“I put everything in place as it used to be, maybe even better,” Ryazanskiy radioed. “I think it’s much better.”

But still, the data link was flawed.

“Sergey, don’t overdo it there,” Russian Mission Control said, warning him not to damage the connectors.

The spacewalkers worked so hard — determined to accomplish the job this time — that Russian Mission Control outside Moscow urged them early in the spacewalk to “get your breath.”

“We’ll force ourselves to rest,” one of the spacewalkers replied in Russian.

The astronauts had hooked up both Earthobserving cameras during a spacewalk right after Christmas. But ground controllers received no data from either camera, and the spacewalkers had to haul everything back in.

The problem was traced to indoor cabling and thought to be fixed.

Russian Mission Control ended Monday’s spacewalk right around the six-hour mark, as

COLUMBIA, Md. — A Maryland mall reopened Monday with increased security, somber memorials and still unanswered questions about why a gunman killed two people and himself inside a store.

Crowds of shoppers were sparse in the early minutes of business, though white flowers were already scattered in a memorial fountain. As the community tried to get back to some sort of normalcy, investigators worked to piece together a motive for the shooting.

Police found a journal belonging to Darion Marcus Aguilar, 19, but they would only say that it “expressed general unhappiness.” The contents, however, were enough for an officer looking into the disappearance of Aguilar on the day of the shooting to worry about the teen’s safety.

Aguilar was supposed to work at Dunkin’ Donuts on Saturday morning, but he never showed up. Police said Aguilar took a taxi to the Mall in Columbia in suburban Baltimore and entered the building near Zumiez, a shop that sells skateboarding gear. He went downstairs to a food court directly below the store, then returned less than an hour later, dumped the backpack in a dressing room and started shooting.

Shoppers fled in a panic or barricaded themselves behind closed doors. When police arrived, they found three people dead — two store

employees and Aguilar.

The shooting baffled investigators and acquaintances of Aguilar, a quiet, skinny teenager who graduated from high school last spring and had no previous run-ins with law enforcement.

Aguilar, who had concealed the shotgun in a bag, fired six to nine times. One victim, Brianna Benlolo, a 21-year-old single mother, lived half a mile away from Aguilar in the same College Park neighborhood, but police said they were still trying to determine what, if any, relationship they had.

The other employee, Tyler Johnson, did not know Aguilar and did not socialize with Benlolo outside of work, a relative said.

Howard County Police Chief William McMahon said there has been speculation about a romantic relationship between the gunman and Benlolo, but investigators have not been able to establish that.

He said Monday that if the shooting were “domestic-related” he thought investigators would know more about that by this point. But he also did not rule that out.

The chief also said there was no evidence so far that Aguilar ever applied for a job at Zumiez or worked there.

On Monday, the store was covered by white boards as if it was under construction. Messages written on the boards thanked first responders and let customers know the store was closed.

Mall visitors could sign memory books and float white flowers in the mall’s fountain in memory of Benlolo and Johnson. Outside, a banner read: “Forever in our hearts.”

Howard County Executive Ken Ulman was there for the reopening and said he will eat lunch with his wife and shop.

He invited other people to join him.

“Send a message with your presence that you are standing with us,” he said. “Let’s get back to business.”

Aguilar was accepted last February to Montgomery College, a community college in the Washington suburbs, but school spokesman Marcus Rosano said he never registered or attended.

Tydryn Scott, 19, said she was Aguilar’s lab partner in science class at James Hubert Blake High School and said he hung out with other skaters. She said she was stung by the news.

“It was really hurtful, like, wow — someone that I know, someone that I’ve been in the presence of more than short amounts of time.

I’ve seen this guy in action before. Never upset, never sad, just quiet, just

chill,” Scott told The Associated Press. “If any other emotion, he was happy, laughing.”

Aguilar worked at the Dunkin’ Donuts on Friday and was supposed to open the store Saturday morning. When he didn’t show, his mother filed a missing persons report with the Prince George’s County Police Department at about 1:40 p.m., more than two hours after the mall shooting.

Officers went to Aguilar’s home to speak with his mother about 5 p.m. and saw Aguilar’s journal. The portion the officer read made him concerned for Aguilar, the department said.

Police began tracking Aguilar’s phone and soon discovered it was at the mall.

At his home where he lived with his mother, officers also recovered more ammunition, computers and documents, police said. No one answered the door there Sunday. A half-mile away, a roommate who answered the door at Benlolo’s home confirmed that she lived there but declined to comment further. Two police officers went into the home after he spoke briefly to a couple of reporters.

What Must I Do To Be Saved?

Some Say that we only need to have faith in Jesus For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 But the Bible teaches faith alone does not save, James 2:24

Some say that we only need to believe For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 But the Bible teaches belief alone does not save, James 2:19

Some say we only need to pray and confess Christ

Marriage may not be worth continuing WIZARD OF ID

Dear Annie: I’m 46 years old, college educated, with no children.

I recently celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary. It’s not what I would call a good marriage. My husband occasionally has fits of anger and has been verbally abusive.

More than eight years ago, I had a miscarriage.

My husband wanted to keep trying. He repeatedly has said that he can’t imagine a life without children. I told him that having children is not going to happen, and that if he wants a divorce over this, I won’t fight him. He is welcome to find someone else to have children with. What I did not tell him is that soon after the miscarriage, I started taking birth control pills and continue to do so.

I feel guilty that I might have misled him in that he may think there is a chance for children, although I would hope that at my age he would be past that. My question is: Should I tell him about the birth control? I’m not sure what it would accomplish. I’m afraid of his reaction to finding out, and divorce terrifies me.

-- Torn Between What Is Right and What Is Safe Dear Torn: Regardless of what you may have told your hus-

Annie’s Mailbox band eight years ago, if you allowed him to have the impression that you were willing to get pregnant again, then obviously, you have been dishonest.

This was grossly unfair to him. But you cannot undo the past, and with your husband’s anger issues, we can understand why there seems no point in telling him now.

But a marriage that isn’t good to begin with is not likely to get better without professional assistance. Decide whether divorce terrifies you so much that you are willing to live like this for another 40 years.

Dear Annie: My husband’s sister chooses not to take turns hosting family get-togethers. She has a beautiful home, but claims she does not have any “social living space.”

She lives next door to her parents, so either they host, or we do it at our home. Her parents even host her children’s birthday parties. She just gets

to show up.

There is a lot of time, energy, planning, preparation and cost associated with having everyone over, and I feel she should reciprocate. However, my husband and in-laws do not see this as a problem.

Am I asking too much? -Olympia, Wash.

Dear Olympia: You are right that your sister-in-law should reciprocate, but it doesn’t matter. She isn’t going to do it.

Your choice is simply which get-togethers you host and which belong to your in-laws.

If you remove your sister-in-law from the hosting equation, you will be less resentful.

You can cut back on the number of times you do this or ask your sister-in-law to reciprocate by cooking a dish or bringing the appetizers, but you cannot force her to open her home.

Dad looking to relocate hates to leave needy parents behind DEAR ABBY: My two children and I have lived with my parents for a few years because I had some health problems. Now that I am healthy again, I’m ready to return to work and move to a new home, but I am encountering resistance from my parents.

As I have recovered, our situation has gone from my parents helping me to my assuming the majority of the household responsibilities. My parents say they know I want to go back to work and know it will be good for me to be independent, but because of their own health concerns they need me to stay.

I have always felt a strong responsibility toward my family, but I know that not having a home to call our own limits the personal growth of my children and me.

I have been offered a great job in another state that would allow me to provide well for my children, but I feel crushing guilt for even considering leaving my parents. I know this will be a lifechanging decision for all of us, so please give me an objective point of view. -- DAD TORN IN TWO DIRECTIONS IN TEXAS DEAR DAD: On an emotional level, of course your leaving will be traumatic for your parents.

They will miss you and the children and all the activity in the house they have become used to. Also, someone may have to assume the household chores

Watch for the Daily Corinthian’s family of exciting magazines throughout the year including Lifestyles Plus coming Feb. 1.

with it? -- JUST RIGHT IN ARIZONA DEAR JUST RIGHT: The kind of body your husband would like you to have seems more descriptive of a skinny teenager than a healthy young woman. Is he a body builder or a gym rat? You deal with it by asking your husband WHY he thinks your normal body is unattractive, listen carefully to his response and, if necessary, run it by your doctor.

DEAR ABBY: I was wondering if a woman can be considered engaged to a man if she is still married to another man, but separated?

I have a friend who has been separated from her husband for two years. They live apart, but not “legally.” Can she be considered engaged? Please help me clear up this confusion. -- CONFOUNDED IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR CONFOUNDED: To declare oneself engaged while legally married to another person does appear to be premature.

However, your friend can call herself whatever she wants if it pleases her. If you value her friendship, you’ll let it slide and don’t contradict her.

you have been taking care of.

If you accept this job -- and in my opinion you should if you Abigail can’t find one pays as Van Buren that well closer to your parents Dear Abby -perhaps you could subsidize a housekeeper, or someone to help with the yard work a few times a month.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to “Sean” for five years. I am 27, stand 5 feet 7 inches tall and weigh 120 pounds. Sean is constantly pushing me to exercise more, and he comments on my thighs and stomach a lot. He tells me it’s not a weight issue, but I need to “work off some fat and gain more muscle.” He wasn’t like this when we got married.

I love my body, and I know I’m not fat or overweight. I walk 4 miles round trip to work. My entire workday is spent on my feet, walking or running. I get plenty of exercise, and I’m healthy and active.

This is really hurting my confidence. It bothers me to hear that someone I love thinks my normal body is unattractive because of barely there “fat.” How do I deal

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll be asked to contribute to or improve upon a group project.

This is dangerous territory politically. Be diplomatic. If you have to change someone’s work, offer praise and positive words to offset the possible slight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll be presenting your work to the world. Avoid trying to turn your friends and family into your fans. Chances are your offerings will be best appreciated by people you don’t yet know.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s good to feel respected, especially by the people whose opinions matter most to you. But if you aren’t getting the respect you deserve, stay the course. Eventually, you’ll get your due.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

While a small part of you wonders what’s next, the better part of you will be enjoying this part of your journey.You have both feet in the present while one hand reaches into the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You

want to share but may not be sure which part of you is best to share at this time. Keep in mind that all social interaction is risk.

You may get it wrong but learning as you go is part of the fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

With all the busyness going on in your life now, it will be important to stop and actively show yourself an act or two of unconditional love. Treat yourself like you would your best friend -- with thoughtfulness and support.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Here’s a radical idea: Center your schedule on the things that matter most to you. What would happen if you did this? Someone would need to adjust. Likely it is a person who should be taking more responsibility anyway.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your strong sense of responsibility may have you sticking around a situation that is ultimately not healthy for you. Don’t allow yourself to be mistreated. Some people are best loved from afar.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). There are things in your life that are draining your willpower and making it difficult to do the things you need to do to make your life better. Fix the drains and you’ll have more self-control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The compulsion to document the moment instead of fully experiencing it is a symptom of our current technological time period -- and one that you may not be in the mood to currently resist at that.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Be aware of the extra work that needs doing just to make something function correctly, i.e., if you have to extremely season it, it’s probably not delicious, and if you have to explain it, it’s not really a funny joke.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Try to be the leader because if you wait for others, they will likely come at things with a much lower tone than you. Your relationships thrive today because you approach them with such optimism and good cheer.

Braves must replace 2 in rotation Associated Press

ATLANTA — Braves closer Craig Kimbrel has played only three full seasons in the majors, and already his contemporaries are considered the veterans of the team.

That includes Atlanta’s rotation, where replacements must be found for departed veterans Tim Hudson and Paul Maholm. Hudson signed with the Giants and Maholm is a free agent.

The rotation returns Kris Medlen, Mike Minor, Julio Teheran and Brandon Beachy.

Kimbrel, 25, said it’s difficult for him to realize the young starters must now lead

the rotation.

“Yeah, it’s kind of hard.

Guys that I played minor league ball with are now the veterans of the ballclub,” Kimbrel said Monday, the first day of the Braves’ informal pitching camp. “It’s something that happened really fast and a lot of those guys are going to have to step into those shoes and win a lot of baseball games.”

Medlen, 28, has the most experience of the returning starters. He made his debut in Atlanta in 2009 and led last year’s staff with 15 wins.

The others came up in 2010 or later.

Minor was 13-9 with a 3.21

ERA last season. Teheran, 23, enjoyed his breakthrough last season, when he was 14-8 with a 3.20 ERA. Beachy missed most of last season recovering from elbow ligament-replacement surgery in 2012. He had a follow-up procedure last year to clean up the elbow and said Monday he expects to be ready when pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Feb. 13.

Beachy said his offseason has gone “exactly as I would have hoped to this point.”

He said he’ll approach workouts before spring training “a little smarter with velocity” but will have no re-

strictions when the Braves report to Florida.

“There’s always going to be a little something in the way back part of the mind until I go out there in April and get a few starts under my belt,” Beachy said. “Every day I come out here and throw and don’t feel anything just eases that a little bit.”

Beachy’s return as a healthy member of the rotation is a key for the Braves this spring. He was only 5-5 but led the National League with a 2.00 ERA when his 2012 season ended after 13 starts.

MSU’s Ray apologizes, avoids SEC wrath Associated Press

OXFORD — Mississippi State coach Rick Ray has issued an apology after television replays showed him directing comments at Mississippi’s Marshall Henderson in the final seconds of Saturday’s game.

Henderson was walking off the court with 6.3 seconds left when Ray said something as the guard walked past. The Rebels won 82-63 and Henderson scored 19 points.

Ray issued an apology on Instagram on Sunday saying he “responded inappropriately to an Ole Miss player yesterday in our game.” Ray said he “reached out to (Ole Miss) Coach (Andy) Kennedy immediately to apolo-

gize and subsequently to the player.”

Ray added there “is no reason for a coach to ever have interaction with an opposing player, ever, regardless of the circumstances.”

Henderson has a reputation for on-court theatrics that irritate opposing fans and players.

The Southeastern Conference will not punish Ray. SEC spokesman Craig Pinkerton wrote in an email that Ray apologized to league Commissioner Mike Slive on Monday morning and that the commissioner “is satisfied with the way Coach Ray has handled this matter in the aftermath of his actions following Saturday’s game.”

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 41 points, including the game-winning jumper with 1.5 seconds left, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit to beat the Atlanta Hawks 111-109 Monday night for their eighth straight victory.

Durant scored 13 in the fourth quarter, including a 16-foot, stepback jumper with 25.5 seconds remaining that put Oklahoma City ahead for the first time since the opening 2 minutes. Paul Millsap tied it for Atlanta before Durant knocked down the decisive 12-footer while being guarded by DeMarre Carroll.

Shelvin Mack tried to throw a pass to Millsap on the final play, but Thabo Sefolosha knocked it away. Millsap led the Hawks with 23 points.

Durant’s 11-game streak of 30 or more points is the longest in the NBA since Tracy McGrady did it in 14 straight games in March and April 2003. Durant had another efficient outing, shooting 15 of 25 from the field and 5 for 7 from 3-point range.

During his streak, the star forward has had four 40-point outings.

Reggie Jackson had 18 points for Oklahoma City (36-10), which takes the Western Conference’s best record into a showdown Wednesday at Miami, the two-time defending NBA champion.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Broncos third-year tight end Julius Thomas began the season with more NCAA tournament trips (two) on his resume than catches in the NFL (one).

Now, the former power forward at Portland State is the key to Denver’s record-shattering offense, freeing up Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Wes Welker, especially in the red zone.

The 6-foot-5, 255-pound late-bloomer is also a bullseye for some of Manning’s biggest moments, like when he caught his 51st TD throw that broke Tom Brady’s single-season record, one of a dozen touchdown passes he caught this year, breaking Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe’s team record for tight ends.

He was Manning’s main target in the AFC Champion-

Durant does it again for OKC Broncos’ Thomas’ skills honed on the hardwood ship, too, with eight receptions for 85 yards a week after his two clutch third-down catches helped ice Denver’s win over San Diego.

“Sometimes I have to remind myself,” Manning said, “that he hasn’t played a ton of football.”

A giant banner of Thomas hangs outside the media hotel in Times Square, an indication of just how far this relative football toddler has come.

“Is my helmet on?” Thomas asked sheepishly Monday while aboard the Cornucopia Majesty ship, docked outside the team hotel across the Hudson River.

Yes. “OK, that’s good. So, I won’t get recognized too much,” Thomas said. “That’s a lot of people walking by seeing that thing.”

Former Florida State QB signs with Alabama

BY RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

Jake Coker is going from backing up Jameis Winston to trying to replace AJ McCarron. The former Florida State quarterback is transferring to Alabama and will be eligible to play next season.

Coach Nick Saban announced Sunday that Coker has signed with the Crimson Tide.

“We think a lot of Jake and we are excited to have him join our team,” Saban said in a statement. “He is not only

an outstanding football player, but he is also a fine young man who we feel will be a great fit with our program at Alabama.”

Coker, who will be a junior next season, is on target to graduate in May. NCAA rules allow graduate students to transfer without sitting out a season, as usually required.

Coker’s high school coach, Steve Mask of St. Paul’s Episcopal School in Mobile, Ala., said Coker was “ecstatic” about going to Alabama after a weekend visit to cam-

pus.

“I was very impressed with everything on my visit to Tuscaloosa,” Coker said. “I feel very comfortable with the coaches and the players, and I’m looking forward to getting started at Alabama and competing. I also want to thank my coaches and teammates at Florida State. I had a great experience there and I’m excited to build on that at Alabama.”

Coker competed with Winston for the starting job at Florida State last the spring and preseason, and by all ac-

counts put up a good fight.

Winston was just too good.

He went on to win the Heisman Trophy as a redshirt freshman and Coker played sparingly for the Seminoles.

The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Coker completed 18-of-36 passes for 250 yards and an interception. He tore cartilage in his knee on Nov. 9 against Wake Forest and missed the rest of the season. He was still on crutches at the national championship game.

ended the right-hander’s seventh season with the White Sox. Braves general manager Frank Wren said he hopes Floyd will be ready

by May. Kimbrel said Floyd was an important addition for the Braves, who won 96 games and the NL East title in 2013.

“That’s a good guy to

put in our rotation, and when he’s on he’s really good,” Kimbrel said. “I think that is a big move.

It’s not a big money move but strategy wise it is a big move for our ballclub.”

The Braves also resigned right-hander Freddy Garcia, 37, to a minor league deal and invited him to their big league camp.

Garcia went 1-2 with a 1.65 ERA in six games for the Braves, including three starts, late last season.

Left-hander Alex Wood is expected to compete with Garcia for the No. 5 spot in the rotation this spring. Wood was 3-3 with a 3.13 ERA overall and 3-2 with a 3.54 ERA in 11 starts.

Right-hander David Hale, who allowed only one run in two starts, is another pitcher to watch in the spring.

There was no nameplate on the locker next to Beachy in the Braves’ clubhouse on Monday. It was the space formerly reserved for Hudson.

“We’re obviously going to miss Huddy’s pres-

ence,” Beachy said. “I’ve lockered next to Huddy my whole career. Kris is going to be the elder statesman and he’s the guy. Mike and Julio are building off incredible campaigns and hopefully I can help with that. Alex Wood has shown what he can do. I think we’re a pretty good unit together.”

year of football in college after exhausting his eligibility on the hardwood.

He tried to line up with the receivers on his first day of practice but was ushered over to the tight ends group.

“I was like, ‘What? Hold on, I don’t know about all that,’” Thomas recounted.

“But Coach (Nigel) Burton, he sat me down and we talked about it and he told me that he felt if I played tight end I’d be able to create matchup problems.”

Sure enough, he caught 29 passes for 453 yards and earned All-Big Sky Conference first-team honors in 2010, and he caught a touchdown pass and the attention of scouts at the East-West Shrine Game.

“I really thank him for helping me decide to play tight end,” Thomas said.

“It was a great move on his part to not let me play receiver. I’ve loved playing tight end ever since.”

Broncos boss John Elway said Thomas reminds him of Sharpe, who was his co-pilot when he was leading the Broncos to Super Bowl titles from the huddle.

“It was like Shannon, who do you cover Shannon with? A corner? Or do you cover him with a safety or a linebacker,” Elway asked. “So, the matchups were always very favorable.”

Thomas’ only obstacle was staying healthy.

He got hurt on his first catch as a pro, hobbling off the field with a high

right ankle sprain on Sept. 18, 2011.

When Manning picked Denver as his destination that following spring, Thomas was among a handful of guys who gathered on local high school fields for clandestine workouts during the lockout, but soon he needed surgery and wouldn’t catch a single pass in 2012.

He gained confidence, however, running with the scout team and capitalized on extra time with Manning last offseason when it was Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen who were hurt to gain his quarterback’s confidence, too.

He was pretty sure only friends and family picked him up in fantasy foot-

ball leagues before his five-catch, 161-yard, twotouchdown performance against Baltimore in the NFL opener on Sept. 5 — 729 days since his first NFL reception.

He finished with 65 receptions for 778 yards and added 14 receptions for 161 yards in the postseason. All the while, he flashes some of the same moves on the football field that he used to showcase on the basketball floor, where he was a bully on the blocks.

Shielding a defensive back to give the quarterback an opening, he said, is just like posting up a player under the basket to give the point guard a clear passing lane.

Tight ends with power forward in their DNA are

matchup nightmares because they’re faster than linebackers and bigger than safeties, said Thomas’ position coach, Clancy Barone, who’s also tutored the alpha hoopsterturned-gridiron great, Antonio Gates.

What set Thomas apart was being such a quick study after walking on as a college senior.

“We knew he was very grown-up football-wise,” Barone said. “What’s the best way to put this, he wasn’t immature as a football player. He wasn’t like your typical guy with the big eyes that say, ‘This is all so new to me.’ He’s a guy that you could tell knew football. He had studied football and he was acting like a pro already. That’s a rare find.”

quarterbacks looking to replace McCarron, the departed Heisman finalist and three-year Tide starter who also played at St. Paul’s.

“In some ways they are very similar,” Mask said.

“Both have tremendous leadership skills.”

The only other quarterback on Alabama’s roster who has thrown a pass in college is Blake Sims, who will be a senior. Alec Morris will be

a sophomore next season after getting a little game action as a redshirt freshman in 2013.

Highly touted recruit Cooper Bateman redshirted this past season.

Incoming star recruit

David Cornwell is already enrolled in school and expected to participate in Alabama’s spring practice.

Whichever quarterback wins the job will be

leading another loaded offense. Alabama returns star T.J. Yeldon and promising Derrick Henry at running back, receiver Amari Cooper and tight end O.J. Howard.

THOMAS CONTINUED FROM 12

He might want to get used to the spotlight.

With the wintry weather and Seattle’s stingy secondary sure to stifle some of Manning’s other options, Thomas could be Denver’s X-factor in the Super Bowl.

“No, this isn’t something that I imagined doing when I was 20 years old getting ready to play in the NCAA tournament,” Thomas said. “I wasn’t thinking, ‘Man, if you just fast-forward that clock a little bit, you’ll be competing in the biggest game in America.’ It’s just a blessing to be here. I’ve been very blessed in my athletic career, so I’m going to enjoy it.”
