No place to call home Study counts Corinth’s homeless population

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

There are more than 30 homeless people living in Corinth on any given day.

They have been discovered living in abandoned houses, sheds, vehicles and mobile homes.

Crosswind Ministries re-

vealed these results this week as part of a survey to determine the number of homeless people living in Alcorn County.

“We were able to look them in the eye,” said Executive Director Bobby Capps. “We now know who they are and where they are. They also know who we are.”

The ministry partnered with MUTEH (Mississippi United to End Homelessness), as well as other organizations to conduct a comprehensive search for the homeless.

The 2014 Point-In-Time (PIT) count is conducted every two years and is only for a specific 24-hour period of time.

Countdown begins to find perfect gift for Valentine’s Day

Alcorn County schools approve printing contract A locally owned company will continue to provide copying and printing needs to Alcorn County schools.

The school district is looking for ways to reduce the cost of more than $120,000 spent per year on printing and copying related items throughout the district.

The board heard proposals from three vendors at its January meeting and made its final decision this week.

Rogers Smith said. “We were very pleased with their hard work doing inventory at each school of all of our equipment.”

Representatives from Rayco, RJ Young and Xerox made presentations to the board after taking a survey of all printers and copiers in the district.

“Prices were really close,” said district five board member Randy Wilbanks. “I think our best choice is Rayco.”

District one board member Russ Nash agreed.

Sod or synthetic turf: The Corinth School District Board of Trustees is considering which way to go at the home of the Warriors.

Superintendent Lee Childress told the board on Monday that it is time to consider reworking the football field or possibly switch to synthetic grass. Built the year after Corinth High School went into use, the field has seen heavy activity for multiple purposes.

“When it was built,” said Childress, “it was initially used for high school football only, but we know that over the

twice,” Hinton said. “Last time we put gravel down to try to help people get traction on the icy spots.”

Corinth Police Chief David Lancaster said no major accidents had occurred in the city limits.

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency reported two weather-related traffic deaths in the Jackson metro.

“Both of them were a result of icing on bridges, and they didn’t see it. They lost control of their vehicle, and the individual that was killed was thrown out of the vehicle,” said MEMA Executive Director Robert Latham. “It’s still very dangerous out there.”

In Atlanta, freezing rain encased trees, sending them crashing into power lines and causing more than 200,000 homes and businesses to be without power. Such news reminded locals of ice storm 1994 that affected North Mississippi 20 years ago this week.

Today’s forecast calls for patchy freezing fog before 9 a.m. then sunny skies. Temperatures are expected to reach 48 with a low 32 tonight.

The area may see a chance of rain showers on Friday with a high near 49 and a low Friday night of 27.

“Everyone needs to pray for sunshine,” Hinton said. “We need several days of 40 and 50 degree temperatures to really recover.”

course of time, it has now been used for middle school football and it has been used for girls’ and boys’ soccer.”

The band also marches on it about once a week.

“With the increased use, it has come to a point that the field is about 20 years old and is in need of some major work,” he said.

The natural grass option would include stripping off the sod and several feet of dirt, recontouring the field, taking up the irrigation system and assessing the drainage system.

While turf is more expensive to install, the board is looking at whether the ongoing costs

associated with sod, such as water for irrigation, make turf more cost-effective in the long run. The district spends $1,000 to $1,500 watering the field in the summer months.

The board wants more cost information before making a decision.

Childress said the board may also want to consider resurfacing the track, which would make it possible to again host track meets at the school.

A wintry mix kept motorists on their toes Wednesday as freezing rain, sleet and snow fell in the Crossroads area for most of the day.

The massive winter storm dropped 4 inches of snow on Alcorn County Tuesday and crippled the South, impacting areas from Texas to the Carolinas.

Icy roads created havoc across the state and prompted school officials to cancel classes at Corinth and Alcorn County schools Wednesday for the second day in a row.

“The roads refroze in spots and created some problems,” said District Two Supervisor Dal Nelms. “Bridges had some icing.”

Nelms was expecting road conditions to take a turn for the worse yet again this morning as temperatures dropped.

“We have been out before 5 a.m. the last two days working on the roads,” said District One Supervisor Lowell Hinton. “We have put out tons of sand and salt.”

Hinton said this has been the worst winter he has seen since taking office.

“There are 120 miles of road in each district and it’s been really tough reaching everywhere when it snows and ices,” he said.

County Road 157 has been the site of several minor wrecks this week.

Gifts of love

William Shakespeare once wrote, “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”

It’s that time of year again.

Cupid has descended upon the Crossroads area, piercing the hearts of lovers and skeptics alike.

With the approach of St.Valentine’s Day, shoppers are making a mad dash to find the perfect gift for that special someone.

Don’t risk a scrambled brain searching for the right item.

Here are a few spur-of-themoment ideas to consider: • When it comes to jewelry, the classics will never go out of style.

“Diamonds, are you kidding?

That’s the sparkle in every girl’s eye on Valentine’s Day. It’s also the time of year for engagement rings. We’ve been selling a lot of silver and gold jewelry. Gold is coming back,” said Annette Bynum at Clausel Jewelry.

• Life is stressful, especially on holidays. Help alleviate the stress by purchasing a spa gift card.

“When you give the gift of massage therapy, it isn’t just something that is here today, gone tomorrow. You are giving the gift of health,” said Licensed

“We were able to look them in the eye. We now know who they are and where they are.”

Center marks career, technical education month The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors recently proclaimed Feb. 1-28 as Career and Technical Education Month in Alcorn County.

Lowell Hinton, president of the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors, and Bobby Marolt, chancery clerk, visited the Alcorn Career and Technology Center and signed the proclamation before a group of students representing each of the 12 CTE programs offered at the school.

Students and faculty at the Alcorn Career and Technology Center will join others across the nation during February to celebrate national Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month. During the 2014 CTE Month, the Association of Career and Technical Education (ACTE) encourages everyone to explore and learn the accomplishments, achievements and contributions of career and technical education (CTE) professionals, students and alumni with the theme “Celebrate CTE Su-

Alcorn Career and Technology Center for CTE Month are tours for area ninth graders of the center’s CTE programs, tours of the CTE programs at Northeast Mississippi Community College for the center’s second year students, and a Nontraditional Student Day. “The activities planned over the next month will illustrate the rigor and relevance CTE courses offer our students,” said Richard Turner, director of the school. “By partnering with the business community, CTE programs are investing in students’ lives with the latest technology and skills that will prepare them to become successful employees as well as future leaders.”

CTE is a major part of the solution to myriad national economic and workforce problems, such as high school dropout rates, a weakened economy, global competitiveness and massive layoffs.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly one-third of the fastest growing oc-

cupations will require an associate’s degree or a postsecondary vocational certificate. At a time when job opportunity is so critical, CTE programs in every community are ensuring students are adequately equipped with the skills to successfully enter the workforce.

Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) is the nation’s largest not-for-profit education association dedicated to the advancement of education that prepares youth and adults for successful careers. It provides advocacy, public awareness and access to information, professional development and tools that enable members to be successful and effective leaders. Founded in 1926, ACTE has more than 25,000 members including teachers, counselors and administrators at the middle school, high school and postsecondary levels.

hometown. We have dealt with them for years,” he said. “Based on everything we’ve seen, I think Rayco should receive the bid.”

Smith said she liked being able to pick up the phone and within 30 minutes a Rayco tech would normally be on site trouble shooting the problem.

Located in Corinth, Rayco has been in business for more than 15 years and has provided printing and copying service needs for the school district for more than 10 years.

The printing service decision one item on a busy agenda at the second board meeting of the year.

The meeting got underway with a moment of silence and prayer for long time school district attorney Jimmy Price, who passed away earlier this month.

“Mr. Price had a servant’s heart when it came

to the children and the community,” Smith said.

“He will be missed greatly.”

In other board news: • The school board approved 25 fundraisers planned for the remaining school year including the okay for Kossuth High School and Kossuth Middle School students to sell McDoubles and McChickens during break.

• The board thanked the Kimberly Clark Foundation for donating $4,000 to buy supplies and help support programs at Alcorn Central Elementary School, Biggersville Elementary School, KMS and KHS. Corinth Coca-Cola was also recognized for donating $765 to KMS. • The board approved Smith’s recommendation to allow the elementary schools to move their exams from May 19-22 to May 6-9.

“The last week of the school year is normally used for school trips or

field trips,” said Smith. “By moving the exam week, it should help students in reviewing for the exams.”

• Discussion began concerning paid lunches at all district schools.

District three board member Carroll Morton said he would like to see the district pay for lunch for all students at the districts 11 schools.

Morton suggested a special working session meeting be held to further discuss paid lunches and state representatives should be invited to attend.

The working session meeting is scheduled for March 17 at 5 p.m. The public and area officials are encouraged to attend and share their thoughts on paid lunches.

• Due to the spring break holiday, the March meeting was rescheduled for March 24 at 5 p.m. in the board room at the Alcorn School District office on West Sawyer Road.

The public is welcome.

A woman may buy herself perfume or chocolates, but she won’t buy herself flowers,” said Becky Lattanzio at Just for You Florist.

• Give the gift that keeps on giving.

Just $1 could win you a gift basket valued at over $800 with all proceeds benefiting a special needs child.

“If there is a need in anybody’s life and others

are willing to contribute, regardless of the season to help bring that goal into fruition it is a great thing,” said Brenda Barbour owner of LipChic Boutique. “For just that $1, you could get what you want while helping others get what they need.”

• Treat your loved one to a getaway.

Crossroads Poetry Project is doing a “Suite for

your Sweetie” raffle at their Wine and Cheese Poetry Night held at Smith. restaurant tonight.

Those who attend will be registered to win a night for two at the Holiday Inn Express.

“It’s just a nice getaway even if it’s just for one night,” said President of the Crossroads Poetry Project Autry Davis. “It’s a chance to relax, go out to dinner, listen to music, crack open a bottle of wine and just talk to one another.”

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors declared February Career and Technical Education Month. Taking part in the signing of the Career and Technical Education Month Proclamation were (seated) Bobby Marolt, Alcorn County chancery clerk and clerk to the Alcorn Board of Supervisors; Lowell Hinton, president of the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors; Richard Turner, director of the Alcorn Career and Technology Center.

islators. It serves as a reflection of those who are without shelter in the state on any given night.

The goal of the survey was to gain emergency state funding so Crosswind can further their efforts and extend their ministry’s outreach.

Crosswind has applied for two ESF grants -- the Continual Care Grant and the Emergency Care Grant.

“Because of the PIT count, we were able to locate and substantially help every single one,” said Capps. “We are thankful for our volunteers who were so handson, as well as the organizations that took data or

sent people.”

The survey helped not only to locate those who are suffering, but bring to light the need for action.

“We have homelessness in this community and we can solve the problem,” said Capps. “If we together as a community can identify homeless people, we can dramatically improve their situations.”

He considered the count to be a huge success and said the organizations were blessed to have been able to locate and improve the lives of so many people.

Students display inventions Fourth grade gifted students at Corinth Elementary School recently developed original invention ideas and had the opportunity to display their inventions for the school in the 3rd Annual Invention Convention.

Leading up to their Invention Convention, these gifted students had been participating in lessons designed to develop their creativity. Each student brainstormed many invention ideas before selecting his or her best idea. Then, they made a prototype of their invention and entered it in the convention, which lasted from Jan. 27-31. The participants’ parents and fellow students at CES were invited to tour the Invention Convention and then place their votes for their favorite invention. After all of the votes were tallied, the top three winners were announced.

First place went to Jack Taylor for his original invention, the “Auto Aqua Helmet.” Taylor’s helmet, which was designed for football players who get thirsty on the field, had a neatly compacted water bottle hidden inside the padding. To get a quick drink, the player can just squeeze the bottle and the water will flow down a tube into the player’s mouthpiece.

George Davis won second place with his “Schuting Seed Feeder.”

His invention involved a schute that connected the bird feeder to a window. To feed the birds without going outside, a person can just pour the birdseed through the schute that will send it straight to the birdfeeder. “It is helpful,” Davis said, “because in the winter you can stay warm while feeding the birds!”

The third place winner was Cate Rivers Shipp with the “Sort-OTron.”Shipp’s invention

Region Briefs Tax office theft investigation continues BOONEVILLE — The investigation continues into the theft of more than $38,000 in cash and checks from the Prentiss County Tax Collector’s office.

Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey said Tuesday investigators with his office, the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations are continuing to follow up on leads in the case and encourage anyone who may have any knowledge of the crime to share the information with police.

Approximately $38,000 mixed between cash and checks was taken from a safe in the collector’s office inside the Prentiss County Courthouse sometime during the overnight hours between the evening of Thursday, Jan. 30 and the morning of Friday, Jan. 31 when an employee arriving to work discovered the theft.

Medicaid: a barrier to education

BY DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN Syndicated Columnists

In state capitols throughout America, a drama will play out this coming year and in every subsequent year for at least a decade.

Legislators and governors will find themselves unable to provide decently for education without cutting back on the ambitious Medicaid expansion built into Obamacare.

Even in those states that opted not to participate in raising the eligibility levels for Medicaid — and took the out Justice Roberts gave them — the Medicaid rolls will rise as more of those previously eligible sign up through the well-publicized federal exchanges The explosion in Medicaid cost and enrollment represents a dire threat to educational quality in all 50 states. Simply put, improving our failing schools will have to wait as Obamacare drives up state health spending.

Last year, education ate up $286 billion of the $1.5 trillion in state spending — about 19 percent. But Medicaid gobbled up $478 billion — or 32 percent.

But this is just the beginning. Due to lower medical inflation, Medicaid spending has grown only at about 2 percent a year during the past two budget cycles. However, due to Obamacare’s increased Medicaid enrollment, Medicaid spending is projected to rise 12.2 percent in 2014, 7.9 percent in 2015 and 2016, and 6.6 percent per year thereafter.

Meanwhile, state total spending is projected to hold fairly steady at $1.5 trillion (http:// www.usgovernmentspending.com/).

The left is going to have to choose between Medicaid and education. We cannot afford both. Of course, states can still raise taxes and join jurisdictions like Detroit into their slow spiral to oblivion.

Is the Medicaid spending worth it? Is it a good trade to swap our children’s future for a perceived increase in health care quality for today’s poor?

Does increasing Medicaid help to improve the health of the new recipients? The seminal study says: not by much.

The study came about when Oregon expanded its Medicaid program in 2008, using a lottery to determine who would benefit from the limited expansion. Amy Finkelstein, an economic professor at MIT, and Katherine Baicker from the Harvard School of Public Health analyzed the results in what came to be called the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment.

The researchers found “no measurable health benefits in the Medicaid group for several chronic conditions, including hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes.”

They did find that expanding Medicaid coverage caused the newly enrolled to throng emergency rooms. Finkelstein said: “Medicaid coverage increases emergency department use, both overall and for a broad range of types of visits, conditions, and subpopulations, including visits for conditions that may be most readily treatable in primary care settings.” In fact, she reported a 40 percent hike in ER visits among the newly enrolled.

The control population and the Medicaid population in the study differed only in “the fact that some have insurance and some don’t.”

So is the Medicaid expansion worth it? Is it an effective way to use state resources to tell an entire generation of children that they will have to wait for good schools until the Medicaid expansion experiment has run its course? Or will it be too late for them?

In light of the lack of evidence that allowing poor adults under the age of 65 to get free medical care improves their health, are we justified in diverting funds that would likely otherwise go to schools, better teachers and enriched curriculums? With students throughout the nation no longer able to study such subjects as science, social studies and foreign languages due to financial limitations, are we right to make Medicaid the sole object of our generosity?

Ask the kids.

Prayer for today Almighty God, if I am uncertain, and tremble at the crossroads in doubt of the right way, may I wait and be led by thee, and follow on, even if the way be dark and rough. May I be faithful and have thy presence as thou promised at the end. Amen.

A verse to share “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”

-- Deuteronomy 5:11

Campaigns battle citizen journalists I have rarely met a political operative who believes that journalism is actually on the level.

They do not believe that journalism is agenda-free or that a journalist’s only agenda is to report the truth without “fear or favor.”

Journalists claim to have standards, but the political operative is hard-pressed to see what those standards might be. The only real standard seems to be to wallow in scandal and controversy. The slightest bobble, misstatement or evidence of human failing by a politician is pounced upon by the journalist with the same glee as a cat has pouncing upon a mouse.

To the operative, reporters are trouble, and the best solution to this trouble is to keep the candidates as far away from the press as possible except for scripted moments, such as speeches, and unavoidable moments that can be prepared for (i.e., rehearsed), such as debates.

There is a problem with this, however, as we look forward — and you are looking forward, aren’t you? — to the presidential campaigns of 2016, which will begin this year.

Today anybody with access to the Internet can be a journalist. And keeping a candidate away from credentialed reporters does not solve as many problems as it used to.

What really got candidates in trouble in the most recent two presidential campaigns? Comments made by candidates who assumed no reporters were in the room.

The only big mistake Barack Obama made in his 2008 campaign was tellRoger ing a crowd Simon at what he thought was Columnist a private $1,000-perperson fundraiser in San Francisco that when smalltown voters “get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or antitrade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

The campaign had kept reporters away from the event, but Mayhill Fowler, an Obama supporter and donor, had gotten a ticket and captured Obama’s remarks on her digital recorder.

Aside from being an Obama partisan — Fowler had contributed the maximum $2,300 to Obama’s campaign — Fowler viewed herself as a “citizen journalist” who wrote a blog for a website published by The Huffington Post.

Fowler knew that Obama might be damaged if his remarks got out, which is why she sat on her story for days.

But after talking to a number of people, including her editor, she decided to publish Obama’s comments.

The results were explosive. Clinton attacked Obama, saying she had grown up in a “churchgoing family” and “the people of faith” she knows “don’t ‘cling to’ religion because they’re bitter.”

Clinton also told crowds

that her father taught her to shoot when she was young.

“Americans who believe in the Second Amendment believe it’s a constitutional right,” Clinton said. “Americans who believe in God believe it’s a matter of personal faith.”

Obama, in a rare moment of understatement, responded: “I didn’t say it as well as I should have.”

The Obama campaign was furious with Fowler, saying she had attended a donor-only, closed-press event and then had betrayed the campaign by acting like a journalist.

“We had a fundamental misunderstanding of my priorities,” Fowler would later say.

“Mine were as a reporter, not as a supporter. They thought I would put the role of supporter first.”

“I’m 61,” she said in another interview. “I can’t believe I would be one of the people who’s changing the world of media.”

But she was. Typically, reporters are forbidden by their employers to contribute to political campaigns, but Fowler didn’t view herself as operating under such conventional rules.

The campaign operatives had no defense for this except to screen audiences even more carefully than they already did or advise the candidates to say nothing that had not been preapproved. Which they already did. A lot.

But even that doesn’t work in a world where everyone is a citizen journalist.

In May 2012, Mitt Romney held a $50,000-per-

plate off-the-record fundraiser at a private home in Boca Raton, Fla., where he delivered what became known as his “47 percent” remarks.

He said: “There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right?

There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. ...

My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

A bartender at the event surreptitiously recorded Romney. The video was obtained and published by David Corn of Mother Jones.

Again, the remarks were explosive.

To some, they represented the remarks of an uncaring fat cat. Romney denied that but was forced to reply: “Well, um, it’s not elegantly stated; let me put it that way.”

When, after the campaign, Dan Balz asked Romney about his remarks for Balz’s book “Collision 2012,” Romney denied making the last part of the statement, even though it had been captured on videotape.

“Actually, I didn’t say that,” Romney told Balz.

“That’s how it began to be perceived, and so I had to ultimately respond to the perception, because perception is reality.”

We remain one nation, under God We used to characterize the Soviet Union as a godless, evil empire. Like many societies based on communism or socialism, the Soviets saw fit to minimize the importance of God and, in many cases, wreaked unimaginable persecution on religious people.

Why is faith in God anathema to such states? It’s because they need to remove any authority other than themselves as the arbiter of right and wrong.

Interestingly, last year Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized Euro-Atlantic countries, including the United States, as becoming godless and moving away from Christian values. Some may bristle at such an accusation, but when you consider that many Americans are hesitant even to mention God or Jesus in public, there may be some validity to his claim. We also have tossed out many of the principles espoused in the Bible and have concluded that there’s no authority greater than man himself.

The separation clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is inappropriately applied to a host of situations that involve religion. By reinterpreting the law to mean separa-

tion of God and state, as opposed to the original intent of keeping the church Ben from having Carson undue influence over Columnist state affairs and keeping government from ruling the church, secular progressives have succeeded de facto in redefining part of the Constitution. Such success, however, can only be lasting if “we the people” continue to yield our values and beliefs in order to get along.

A number of years ago, some lawyers approached me to advise that we could not hang our “Think Big” banners in public schools.

They claimed the “G” stood for God, and this would be tantamount to government endorsement of religion, which would be contrary to the First Amendment.

I countered that the First Amendment also forbids government suppression of religious expression and suggested we pursue this argument at the U.S. Supreme Court.

This may have seemed like a bold and reckless statement, but it wasn’t. I

knew I would be going to the Supreme Court the next week to receive the Jefferson award and figured I would bring up this issue while I was there. And I did.

Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said we were nowhere near violating the First Amendment and that of course we could put up our banners in a public school without constitutional infringement. In this case, I did not back down in the face of bogus accusations, and we prevailed. We all must have the courage to fight for our beliefs, just as our predecessors fought for our future.

While our Judeo-Christian values have taken a hit in recent years, we have not yet reached the point of a totally godless government that sets itself up as the supreme authority and giver of rights.

As a nation, we must decide definitively whether we believe in God and godly principles. We must decide whether we revere the Bible and what it means when our elected officials take their oaths of office with one hand upon it. If we do nothing, we allow by default the elimination of God as a central figure in our culture.

As secular progressives

try to remove all vestiges of God from our society, let us remember the godly principles of loving our fellow man, caring about our neighborhoods, developing our God-given talents to the utmost so that we become valuable to the people around us, and maintaining high principles that govern our lives. Our Judeo-Christian values led this nation to the pinnacle of the world. If we embrace them, they will keep us there.

While we Americans are giving a cold shoulder to our religious heritage, the Russians are warming to religion. They seem to be gaining prestige and influence as we are losing ours.

I wonder whether there is a correlation.

Second Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sins and will heal their land.”

These instructions are clear, and secular progressives will shun them. They may control much of the media, but we should not allow them to control our beliefs.

Senate passes debt limit bill for Obama WASHINGTON — Must-pass legislation to allow the government to borrow money to pay its bills has cleared Congress for President Barack Obama’s signature.

The Senate approved the measure by a near party-line 55-43 vote.

All of the “aye� votes came from Obama’s Democratic allies.

But the vote to pass the measure was anticlimactic after a dramatic 67-31 tally — held open for more than an hour — in which the measure cleared a filibuster hurdle insisted on by tea party Republican Ted Cruz of Texas.

The Senate’s top two Republicans — both facing tea party challenges in their GOP primaries this year — provided crucial momentum after a group of Republicans were clearly reluctant to walk the plank. Several other Republicans then switched their votes in solidarity.

Amtrak suspends trains for storm WASHINGTON — Amtrak is suspending some trains as a winter storm threatens the South and the Northeast.

Amtrak says the suspensions Wednesday are meant to reduce the exposure of passengers, crews and equipment to extreme weather.

The suspensions include trains between

New York and several destinations in the South and the auto train between Washington’s northern Virginia suburbs and Orlando, Fla. Amtrak says other services, including the Northeast Corridor, are scheduled to operate.

The suspensions include Crescent trains between New York and New Orleans; Silver Meteor and Silver Star trains between New York and Miami; Carolinian trains between New York and Charlotte, N.C.; Palmetto trains between New York and Savannah, Ga.; and Piedmont trains between Charlotte and Raleigh in North Carolina.

Stag French leader gets warm welcome WASHINGTON — Michelle and Barack Obama found just the right spot to seat a gent going stag to Tuesday’s state dinner: They plopped French President Francois Hollande down right between them in a giant party tent, and put the pshaw to all that drama about his solo trip to the U.S. after a very public breakup from his first lady.

The A-list guest roster for the biggest social event of Obama’s second term — flush with celebrities, Democratic donors, politicians and business types — mostly tried not to go there, tactfully avoiding talk about “l’affaire Hollande.� “I don’t get involved in those things,� demurred actress Cicely Tyson, who at age 80 said

she’s been to plenty of state dinners over the years.

Former NAACP official Ben Jealous was nothing but admiring of the French intrigue. “I think the French are way cooler than we are on a whole lot of fronts,� he said, including way better gossip.

On a frigid night, the evening’s pomp and pageantry were all designed to wrap Hollande in a comfy blanket of warmth, from the moment he stepped out of his limo and onto a red carpet on the White House north portico.

House nixes plan for failing schools JACKSON — House members have rejected a plan to create a separate statewide school district in Mississippi to take over individual failing schools.

Representatives voted 60 to 55 Wednesday to send House Bill 502 back to the Education Committee, likely killing the measure.

House Bill 502 would have created an “Achievement School District� to take over schools that score an “F’’ on the state’s rating system two years in a row.

Opponents objected to the district’s power to take schools from local control for indefinite periods of time, even as districts would be sending property taxes to the achievement district to pay for the schools.

Urban beekeeping puts LA abuzz LOS ANGELES — The City Council in Los Angeles has voted to begin crafting an ordinance that would allow its residents to keep bees in their backyards.

The vote Wednesday was unanimous.

Hundreds of beekeepers have been raising bees in the city’s residential areas — but for now, it’s illegal.

Supporters say the city is the perfect place for beekeeping because it is warm year-round and has so many flowering plants.

They say LA is already packed with bees living in hidden places and it makes sense for safety reasons to have beekeepers caring for them instead.

But some people worry that legalizing beekeeping will bring more residents into direct contact with Africanized — or “killer bees.�

burg, and Delta, La., was closed in both directions and was expected to be for several hours.

An undetermined amount of the chemical is believed to have leaked into the Mississippi River, officials said. U.S. Coast Guard officials said they were assessing the impact of the spill, and the Mississippi was closed to traffic.

Bill would punish repeat offenders JACKSON — Old habits are hard to break when it comes to Mississippi lawmakers’ desire to lock up criminals.

Two days after the state House passed House Bill 585, which aims to cut the number of state prisoners to save money, representatives voted 79-41 Wednesday to pass House Bill 63. It would limit the ability of violent offenders to get time off prison sentences after a second conviction.

Rep. Mark Formby, R-Picayune, said the bill could’ve prevented his aunt from being shot to death by a repeat offender. He and other supporters of the bill said people who commit a second violent crime after getting out of prison the first time haven’t learned their lessons and shouldn’t be able to earn time off. “I don’t see how anyone in this chamber could be against this,� said Formby, the bill’s sponsor.

But the measure, which moves on to the Senate for more debate, is opposed by Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps. He said he wants legislators to make changes using the comprehensive bill. “The commissioner wants changes to come through that package,� spokeswoman Grace Fisher said. “The package says violent offenders must serve a minimum of 50 percent of their sentence.�

JACKSON — A chainreaction crash shut down the icy four-lane Mississippi River bridge on Interstate 20 at Vicksburg, Miss. A tanker was leaking a corrosive liquid into the river.

An 18-wheeler skidded on the ice and crashed into a railing about 4 a.m. Wednesday. At least four other tractor-trailers followed.

Louisiana State Trooper Albert Paxton said the tanker was leaking a flammable liquid and that hazardous materials crews were trying to stop the flow.

CHICAGO — This merciless winter is taking a heavy toll on the nation’s pipes and pavement, breaking hundreds of water mains and opening potholes so big they snap tire rims and wheel axles like Popsicle sticks.

The relentless cycle of snow and bitter cold is testing the strength of infrastructure, the patience of the public and the stamina of crews whose job is to keep the roads safe and the taps running.

Even after the weather eases, cities and states will be left with steep repair bills that could affect their budgets for months to come.

New York City crews filled 69,000 potholes in the first five weeks of the year. In Iowa, a Des Moines official said the city has never endured so many broken water mains.

Ice storm causes outages in South ATLANTA — The second wintry storm in two weeks to hit the Deep South encrusted highways, trees and power

lines in ice Wednesday, knocking out electricity to more than 350,000 homes and businesses.

But it didn’t wreak the highway havoc in Atlanta that the previous storm did — largely because people learned their lesson.

At least nine traffic deaths were blamed on the treacherous weather, and more than 3,100 airline flights nationwide were canceled As residents across the South heeded forecasters’ unusually dire warnings and hunkered down at home against the onslaught of snow and freezing rain, the storm pushed northward along the Interstate 95 corridor, threatening to bring more than a foot of snow Thursday to the already sick-of-winter mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

Forecasters warned of a potentially “catastrophic” storm across the South with more than an inch of ice possible in some places. As the day wore on, power outages climbed by the hour and the dreary weather came in waves.

Ice combined with wind gusts up to 30 mph in Georgia snapped tree limbs and power lines. More than 200,000 homes and

businesses lost power in Georgia, 130,000 in South Carolina and nearly 30,000 in Louisiana. Some people could be in the dark for days.

As he did throughout the campaign, he played down his party affiliation in an increasingly Democratic city.

“The themes of inclusion, of bringing everyone together, of reform and making changes are themes that will resonate not just here in San Diego but in other cities across the country,” he said.

Alvarez, 33, congratulated Faulconer late Tuesday, tweeting, “It’s clear that he will be the next Mayor of San Diego. I look forward to working with him.”

Republican elected San Diego mayor SAN DIEGO — A moderate Republican city councilman has been elected mayor of San Diego in a special election to fill the unexpired term of Bob Filner, who resigned amid a torrent of sexual harassment allegations.

San Diego becomes the nation’s largest city with a Republican mayor, and Kevin Faulconer will be the only Republican to lead a major city in California, where Democrats hold all statewide offices.

Filner was San Diego’s first Democratic leader in 20 years.

With all precincts reporting, the two-term councilman and former public relations executive led Democratic Councilman David Alvarez by 54.5 percent to 45.5 percent.

Faulconer, 47, said Wednesday that he saw his “overwhelming” margin of victory as a mandate to continue voterapproved fiscal measures like cutting pen-

Ex-mayor convicted of taking bribes NEW ORLEANS — Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was convicted Wednesday on charges that he accepted bribes, free trips and other gratuities from contractors in exchange for helping them secure millions of dollars in city work while he was in office, including right after Hurricane Katrina.

The federal jury found Nagin guilty of 20 of 21 counts against him.

He sat quietly at the defense table after the verdict was read and his

wife, Seletha, was being consoled in the front row.

Before the verdict, the 57-year-old Ray Nagin said outside the New Orleans courtroom: “I’ve been at peace with this for a long time. I’m good.”

The Democrat, who left office in 2010 after eight years, was indicted in January 2013 on charges he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and truckloads of free granite for his family business in exchange for promoting the interests of local businessman Frank Fradella.

He also was charged with accepting thousands of dollars in in payoffs from another businessman, Rodney Williams, for his help in securing city contracts.

Nagin is best remembered for his impassioned pleas for help after levees broke during Hurricane Katrina, flooding much of New Orleans and plunging the city into chaos.

Nagin testified that key witnesses lied and prosecutors misinterpreted evidence including emails, checks and pages from his appointment calendar linking him to businessmen who said they bribed him.

Bill would limit politicos in ads JACKSON — Mississippi politicians would be banned from appearing in tax-funded advertising during election years, under a bill moving through the Legislature.

Senate Bill 2281 passed the Senate on Wednesday and moves to the House for more work.

Republican Sen. John Polk of Hattiesburg says he filed the bill because constituents were upset about politicians gaining name recognition on the taxpayers’ dime.

It’s not unusual for elected officials to appear in publicly funded commercials promoting their official duties.

Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, for example, is appearing in TV ads now that explain Mississippi’s new voter identification law.

been arrested and a large-scale cocaine distribution ring in Northeast Mississippi has been dismantled.

Samuel W. Owens, interim Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Director, tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal more arrests are expected.

Owens say law enforcement officers simultaneously served nine search warrants February 1, leading to the arrests in connection with the continuing investigation code-named “Operation Queen Bee.” He says agents seized approximately 23 ounces of cocaine with an estimated street value of $66,000 during the course of the investigation. Once the suspects were in custody, Owens said agents discovered the organization had supplied cocaine with estimated street values totaling more than $1 million.

Aftermath of ‘Labor Day’: confusing, depressing Labor Day, PG-13, **1/2, Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin, Gattlin Griffith, Maika Monroe. Paramount Picture. Director Jason Reitman. Length: 111 minutes. “Labor Day� fills the theater with labor, depression, and plenty of tense moments during the 111 minutes of run time. Adele (Kate Winslet) has a very sad case of depression. Her son Henry (Gattlin Griffith) who lives with her and is a seventh grader in school has to keep her world intact along with his.

Her depression is so bad, Henry has to watch after her and give her instructions when the depression interferes with everyday situations.

While in town to purchase some supplies, Frank (Josh Brolin) asks Terry Adele and Burns Henry to ride with Movie Critic them out of town.

Frank has just escaped from a prison or in this case a hospital. He had to have his appendix removed at the local hospital, and he took it upon himself to jump out the window and flee the premises.

Unfortunately or fortunately which ever way the viewer wants to look at the situation, he chooses Adele and Henry. He was

Friend’s wisdom remains so close

BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Rarely did my boyhood best friend and mentor, Jaybird, stand still; if he was on his feet he was busy, doing something purposely‌never aimlessly.

For him, hard work was as natural as breathing.

Even though he was well up in years when he began teaching me many of the values I live by today, when we worked together in the fields, it was a challenge to keep up with him.

He was a doer, not a talker. And since he talked little, he didn’t need much vocabulary; he let his actions speak for him. Even so, some of his words offset his small vocabulary because they had multiple meanings. I remember two he often used: “uhmadgun� and “goodeel.�

For him, uh-madgun was a catchall term, and depending on the circumstances, might mean, yes, no, maybe, or let me think on it. If I asked him a stupid question, he’d answer, “I uh-madgun.�

For instance, if I asked him if the moon really was made of green cheese, his uh-madgun answer might mean anything, including, “I uh-madgun you’re crazy. Why don’t you go to de moon and see if hit’s made of green cheese, and do us sensible folks down heah on earth a favor: Don’t come back.� Jaybird hated stupid questions.

Goodeel was his way of saying such things as okay, way to go, or that’s a bargain. Instead of patting me on the head and calling me a good boy when our work was done, he’d always say, “Goodeel.�

If referring to an amount, he might say, “We got a goodeel o’ work to do today, boy,� or, “De river is fallin’. Dem big bream at Percy Blue Hole will be feedin’. Let’s go — I garrantee we’ll catch a

goodeel o’ ’em.� He was never wrong about fishing; when we went, we always caught a goodeel.

I like goodeel, but I like uh-madgun more.

Jaybird understood that reality has boundaries; imagination doesn’t ‌ especially when used positively. To him, people who used their imaginations to bemoan how much better life would be if they had things they didn’t have — and probably wouldn’t ever have — failed to cherish assets they did have, without which they’d be hopelessly lost.

Even so, Jaybird taught me that, while I must cherish all the gifts God gave me, I must not cling to them so tightly that I couldn’t live without them, or let them limit my determination to acquire what I might uh-madgun would improve my life.

As a college teacher, such simple but profound philosophy, instilled in me by this master teacher, causes me to look for possibilities in every student, regardless of his condition.

I believe that a teacher must search for untapped potential in all students, even if they consider themselves failures or losers. One thing is certain: When the fires of desire and determination are lit, young people can conquer whatever causes their defeatist attitude.

As we all can.

Jaybird was right: Life is a goodeel: Uh-Madgun.

in prison for murder, and of course, he tells them it is not what it appears to be. That seems to be the way most criminals tell their story. Maybe they should say, “Everything that is on the news is true about me.�

The three of them return to Adele’s house, and old Frank makes himself at home.

One thing about the movie, it does not waste time getting right down to business. Good ole Frank cooks, repairs what is broken, washes the floor, and cleans the house.

One could say Frank makes himself right at home even to the point of falling in love with Adele.

I guess we could call it love at first fright.

Of course the law enforcement officers are traveling the roads trying to find good ole Frank. He continues to cook great meals and terrific peach pies. It is just like Adele and Henry have someone to clean the yard and put the food on the table, and fall in love with Adele while teaching Henry how to play baseball.

The audience has the misfortune of watching flashbacks of the past.

These moments were confusing. They last about 15 seconds and the audience is so fortunate, to see several of them throughout the film to help the confusion.

Frank convinces Adele that the three of them should travel to Canada

and live safely and securely.

The movie takes place is 1987. I am not sure if Frank had been in prison so long that he thought moving to Canada would be like it was during the Vietnam War days when kids could not be drafted into the army if they moved to Canada. I do not think it would work that way with an escaped prisoner who has been in jail for murder.

The movie has some semi-interesting moments, but not nearly enough. It did give the audience a journey full of awkward moments.

Henry meets Mandy (Gattlin Griffin) a new girl in school. She has family problems also, but she

just takes them as they happen. “Labor Day� did have some good scenes, but not many. It became more confusing than entertaining.

As Forrest Gump would say, “That is all I have to say about that.�

Death row story a meditation on life

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Things I’ve Learned from Dying: A Book about Life� by David R. Dow c.2014, Twelve $25/$28 Canada 273 pages Just one more bedtime story.

You wanted that as a child because you’ve always been someone who hates endings (one more for the road). Everyone knows you never get out the door on time (let me just look again). Coat on, hat on, and you start another story (did I tell you‌?). “Goodbyeâ€? sounds so final and it’s not a bad thing that you can’t take your leave. But, as in the new book “Things I’ve Learned from Dyingâ€?

by David R. Dow, sometimes, it’s time to go.

The crime was horrifying for its brutality: four teenagers broke into the home of an eighty-fouryear-old woman, slinked upstairs to where she was watching TV in bed, took her car keys, and killed her. Later, Texas law allowed Eddie Waterman, who did not

shoot the fatal bullet, to be sentenced to die for the crime.

In Huntsville, where “inmates spend twentythree hours a day in a sixty-square-foot cell with‌ a slit of translucent plastic for a windowâ€? David Dow met Waterman, his new client. Dow, a lawyer for Death Row inmates, had been down this road before. At their first meeting, he “did the mathâ€? and figured Waterman would “be dead in twenty-eight months.â€?

Still, he would try to overturn the sentence.

Dow’s father-in-law, Peter, asked why Dow wanted to save Waterman’s life. It was a good question from a man who was dying himself: Peter had metastatic melanoma.

But as hard as Dow fought to save the life of Waterman, who had nothing and wanted to live, Peter, who had everything to live for, wanted to die. Every possible legal chance was used to help Waterman’s plight; Dow and his team even put themselves in danger of disbarment.

Meanwhile, Dow’s

wife, Katya, desperately searched for viable alternative treatments for her father, who’d decided there’d be no more chemotherapy. “I know you know how to let go,� Peter wrote to Dow. “I need you to teach it to Katya.�

In a file stored somewhere in my computer, there’s a flexible list of my Top Five Books Ever. “Things I’ve Learned from Dying� is there.

As a meditation on life, author David R. Dow first takes his readers on a dual path of sorrow (“My entire life consists of trying to put off the end.�). The situations, together, drip with irony; his good memories of Peter seem grief-flat, dry, and joyless. It’s hardly believable, then, that Dow’s dog falls ill during this time, which feels to readers like another kick to the stomach.

That’s overwhelming - obviously for the author as much as it is

for us – but it’s also so affecting that you’ll find your hand creeping over your mouth as you read.

You may even cry. But you won’t avoid being moved.

This memoir on life and death is a must-read for both sides of the capital punishment fence.

It’s a must-read for anyone who’s lost a loved one. Start “Things I’ve Learned from Dying,� and I don’t think you’ll be able to leave it.

“Does God Care How We Worship?� (Part 1)

By Mike Swims Does it matter how we worship God? More specifically, does it matter to God how we worship Him? The Bible gives us the answer to that question. When we think about how the church worships God, we are left with two basic choices; 1) He’s told us how He wants worship to be done, or; 2) He hasn’t.

1. When Christ Prayed For the Father’s Will to Be Done, Did He Mean Except Inside the Church? “Thy kingdom come. _________ will be done _____ ____________, as it is in heaven.�-Matthew 6:10

Hamburger woes?

Investors will be looking closely at the latest sales figures from Burger King’s North American restaurants.

The hamburger chain, due to report fourth-quarter earnings today, has benefited from stronger sales overseas and lower expenses as it sold company-owned restaurants to franchisees. But sales at its North American restaurants open at least a year declined in the third quarter.

Use compassion in helping friend

WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I have a 75-year-old friend who was brutally beaten by an intruder. “Jim” allowed the stranger to enter his home when he claimed he needed to use the telephone. Jim suffered broken bones and a head trauma and spent time in a rehab facility. He still hasn’t fully recovered and is mostly confined to bed.

Jim has no close family.

He abandoned his wife 38 years ago, and his daughter met him for the first time in October. She is his next of kin, and when Jim was in a coma, she had to make some tough decisions about his care. She is not able to be involved as much now because she lives far away. I’m in touch with her often, so she is aware of her father’s condition and says he is capable of making informed decisions. The police concur.

Jim is alone, depressed and alcoholic. I check on him daily. He’s promised not to kill himself, but he has given up on living. He has very little energy and barely eats despite the fact that food is provided.

He just wants to lie in bed, smoke and drink vodka.

And that’s my problem.

I have been meeting his requests for alcohol, but I feel guilty about it. I don’t want to contribute to his death by facilitating his drinking, but I fear that depriving him only condemns him to an even more protracted demise.

Jim refuses to be hospitalized or return to rehab, because he will not be allowed

Annie’s Mailbox to smoke or drink, and he wants to die at home.

If Jim is to recover, he needs to stop drinking, eat well and exercise, and it would be such a long and arduous road that he does not believe he can do it. Am I right to make him comfortable? —His Friend Dear Friend: We’re going to side with compassion, but please know what you are getting into.

While Jim may tell you he is not suicidal, he is doing exactly that by a slower route. You cannot force him to choose life, but you don’t want to be overcome with guilt and remorse, either.

Dear Annie: Every gathering of my husband’s family means my mother-in-law has to control the day, the conversation, everything. It sucks the life out of me.

Not once does she listen to anyone else or ask how they are. She never inquires whether I’m OK. There is never a sincere two-sided conversation.

Somehow, everything reverts back to her and her need for attention. She does not get along with her in-laws and refuses to visit them. My fatherin-law sees his side of the family on his own.

All I can say to every person considering marriage is: Open your eyes.

If I had recognized this

pattern earlier, as much as I love my husband, I wouldn’t have married into this family. -- Glad the Holidays Are Over Dear Glad: We understand that she is difficult, but we feel sorry for your mother-in-law. She has no idea how to make friends or get people to like her.

Dear Annie: You were dead wrong in your response to “N.,” who asked about helping his mother financially once her money runs out. He is under no obligation to support his mother after Mom blew through all of the money her husband left.

This child has worked hard his whole life and owes his mother nothing. I would not pay that lady a dime. Mom chose to spend stupidly, and so now she has to live with that. He needs to just tell her, “Sorry, Mom, I am not a bank!” — Cathy in Michigan Dear Cathy: “N.” did not ask whether to give money to Mom, only that he wanted to provide for her, within reason. Setting up a limited monthly allowance (and no additional funds) would work and would be a kindness.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Daily Corinthian family of magazines continues on March 29 with Crossroads Magazine Family Edition.

Woman stays quiet about breast exam to ease family’s burden DEAR ABBY: Earlier this year, my sister “Kathy” was diagnosed with breast cancer.

She underwent a double mastectomy, chemo and radiation, and will begin reconstructive surgery soon.

Because of her diagnosis she encouraged Abigail me to visit Van Buren my doctor for an exam.

When I did, Dear Abby they found a lump, which needs further testing. I have chosen not to share this with my family because my sisters and parents have been deeply affected by Kathy’s diagnosis, and I don’t want to cause them needless worry.

My husband is angry and he said that because Kathy is their favorite they wouldn’t be concerned anyway. I thought it was insensitive and cruel to me, but more to the point, I felt he wasn’t thinking about how upset my doing so might make my family. Am I wrong to feel this way? -- NEEDS FURTHER TESTING DEAR NEEDS FURTHER TESTING: Certainly not. Your husband’s comment illustrates the importance of keeping one’s

mouth firmly shut if one can’t think of something helpful or supportive to say. It almost appears that he is angry at you for the questionable test result.

I can’t blame you for not wanting to upset your already stressed family at this point, but if more testing confirms that you, too, have breast cancer, I think it’s important that you let them know -- especially your sisters, who might want to be screened sooner than later.

I hope your husband’s apparent inability to support you emotionally during this difficult time is an aberration, but if it’s not, you will need to find support elsewhere.

DEAR ABBY: About 15 years ago I committed a crime against a woman I cared about. I have felt guilt and remorse about it ever since. I can’t speak to her or have any contact with her.

I would like to tell her I’m sorry for what happened. I have beaten myself up over this and thought about suicide. What do I do? Please help, Abby. -- SO SORRY IN ST. JOSEPH, MO. DEAR SO SORRY: The first thing you must do is talk with a mental health professional about your suicidal thoughts. Once you have been stabilized, you should then understand that you may have been forbidden to contact your former friend because what you did was so traumatic that it could cause her to relive the

incident, which could further victimize her. If you’re looking for forgiveness, forgive YOURSELF and move on -- but leave her out of it.

DEAR ABBY: Is there some sort of etiquette regarding inquiring about someone’s country of origin?

While making polite conversation with a customer in my retail shop, I noticed she had an accent and asked where she was from. She became very evasive and seemed offended that I had asked. She actually refused to answer my question.

I tried to recover from the awkward situation, but I can’t help but feel I insulted her somehow. Was I wrong to ask?

-- FRIENDLY RETAILER IN KANSAS CITY DEAR RETAILER: Perhaps.

Some immigrants to this country feel the question you asked is a very personal one. There can be various reasons for it.

The person may feel self-conscious about his or her accent, and you can’t know the political situation in the person’s country of origin or whether he or she has encountered bias because of where he or she came from.

(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).

The hype around Valentine’s Day is something you’re not entirely fine with, and yet if you don’t do a bit of planning now, you’re likely to regret it. It will take you less than an hour to get this together.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Who needs your attention? Who deserves it? These may be two different people, and today you’ll have to choose between them.

You’ll do the honorable thing, as long as you take the time to consider what that is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It’s your day to generate ideas, brainstorm and participate in other people’s ideas -- not to the point of making promises, but just to the point of feeling kinship.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Retain hours of your life by casting the right person for the job.

What takes one experienced person but a few minutes will take a newbie days, if not weeks and months.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Days of doing nothing at all are extremely valuable, especially during a Mercury retrograde such as this. Such days are a luxury to most people. If you are lucky enough to have this luxury, you’ll feel the value of it today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The current cosmic backdrop highlights the dichotomies of your personality. You are becoming kinder and gentler, though you will fight ferociously for the circumstances that allow you to be that way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll meet with people. A good close is the sign of a good meeting. Recap the information that has come to light, and confirm the agreements that have been made.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Dysfunction within a group may be the norm. Each person has their strengths and weaknesses, and those do not always mesh well in a group setting. Luckily, minimizing dysfunction is a tal-

ent of yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Make sure you know what people really want before you give your opinion. Most people who ask for feedback are actually seeking attention and praise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Is there someone who stands to lose if your venture is successful? If so, this is best rooted out and dealt with immediately so it doesn’t foul you up when you’re closer to victory.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll be interacting in a group. It will benefit you to address certain members privately first. Ask about issues that might possibly arise and address them preemptively.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Complaining is useless. You’d rather spend your time finding ways to make things better.

However, it may feel necessary to note problems privately to yourself so you can address them in an organized way.

MARCUS FOSTER, KANSAS STATE A lightly recruited guard from Wichita Falls, Texas, Foster scored a career-high 34 points — the most by a Kansas State freshman since Michael Beasley had 39 in March 2008 — to lead the Wildcats to a 74–57 win over Texas on Saturday then came back with 20 points in an overtime win over Kansas Monday night. Foster has scored 20-plus points in four of his last five games.

JORDAIR JETT, SAINT LOUIS Jett scored 19 of his 25 points in the second half — highlighted by a bucket with four seconds remaining to break a 63–63 tie — to lead Saint Louis to a two-point win at La Salle. The Billikens, who have won 16 straight games overall, are 9–0 in the Atlantic 10.

MARSHALL HENDERSON, OLE MISS Here’s a word you don’t often associate with Henderson — efficient. But that is the type of performance Ole Miss received from its shothappy senior guard. Henderson scored 29 points on 10-of-18 shooting (8-of-15 from 3point range) to lift the Rebels to a 91–88 win over visiting Missouri. Ole Miss has sole possession of third place in the SEC with a 7–3 record in league play.

JAYE CROCKETT, TEXAS TECH Crockett was the forgotten star of a game that will unfortunately be remembered for Marcus Smart’s confrontation with a Texas Tech fan.

Crockett, a senior forward, tied season highs in points (21) and rebounds (12) to lead the Red Raiders to a 65–61 win over Oklahoma State.

Tech, under first-year coach Tubby Smith, improved to 4–6 in the Big 12. Last season, the Red Raiders went 3–15 in the league.

JABARI PARKER, DUKE Parker bounced back from a subpar performance in Duke’s overtime loss at Syracuse to average 25 points and 12 rebounds as the Blue Devils coasted past Wake Forest and Boston College last week. The freshman from Chicago was brilliant Saturday at Boston College, setting a career high in both points (29) and rebounds (16) in the Blue Devils’ 21-point win.

JORDAN BACHYNSKI, ARIZONA STATE Bachynski scored a career-high 26 points, but it was his work on the defensive end that secured the Sun Devils’ 74–72 win over Oregon.

The 7'2" center blocked nine shots, including Joseph Young’s layup at the buzzer, to help Arizona State to its fifth win in the last six games.

On Thursday, Bachynski had 17 points, 15 rebounds and seven blocks in an overtime win over Oregon State.

KADEEM JACK, RUTGERS Jack and the Scarlet Knights bounced back from a miserable performance at Memphis on Tuesday to beat South Florida 79–69 on the road Saturday night. Jack, a junior forward, led the way with a career-high 31 points on 9-of14 shooting from the field and a perfect 13-of13 from the free throw line.

XAVIER JOHNSON, COLORADO Johnson averaged 23.5 points and 9.5 rebounds as Colorado swept a pair of games from Washington State and Washington last week. In a 91–65 win over Washington, Johnson had a career-high 27 points and was one of three CU players to score at least 20 points (Josh Scott had 21 and Asia Booker had 20).

MELVIN EJIM, IOWA STATE Ejim delivered perhaps the finest single-game performance in the history of the Big 12 conference. Iowa State’s senior forward scored a league-record 48 points (on 20-of-24 shooting) and added a career-high 18 rebounds to key Iowa State’s 84–69 win over TCU on Saturday.

He bested the previous mark of 44 points, set by two Kansas State players — Michael Beasley in 2008 and Denis Clemente in 2009.

Ejim wasn’t as productive on Monday night, however, scoring only six points in a shockingly one-sided 102–77 loss at West Virginia.

Chris Lee/St. Louis Post-Dispatch/MCT /LANDOV

T.J. WARREN, NC STATE Warren scored 27 points (nearly half of his team’s total) and grabbed seven rebounds in NC State’s 56–55 win at Miami — the Pack’s first road win in ACC play this season. Warren, a sophomore forward, has averaged 23.8 points in his last six games.

Jordair Jett, Saint Louis

*Records and rankings are as of Feb. 10

Smart decision by the Big 12 Do you agree with the severity (three games) of Marcus Smart's suspension?

Mitch Light: Three games seems about right. Smart’s actions were unacceptable but not overly egregious.

He shoved — not punched — a fan and then walked away. We likely will never know exactly what Jeff Orr, the Red Raider fan, said to prompt Smart’s reaction, but it really doesn’t matter. At no time and for no reason should a player ever touch a spectator. This does not absolve Orr from blame. Under no circumstances should a middle-aged man be yelling at a college student — whether he called him “a piece of crap” as he claims or used a racial slur, as Smart says. College students can taunt other college students. That’s all in good fun. But once you graduate and your seat moves to a different part of the arena, it’s time to focus your energy elsewhere.

Braden Gall: Yes. Marcus Smart is a decent young man who is incredibly frustrated, and he crossed the line. Regardless of what was said to him — no, I am not buying the “piece of crap” line — no player should ever come in physical contact with any fan. Is it reprehensible what some entitled fans believe is okay to say to teenagers? Of course, but players simply cannot react. They have to block out the noise.

David Fox: Three games seems appropriate, though the return date for Smart — Feb. 22 against Texas Tech at home — is a compelling case for four games. If there’s any precedent for this, it’s the Cincinnati-Xavier brawl that netted sixgame suspensions for the biggest offenders after that 2011 incident.

Clearly, the details are different, with Smart entering the stands for one shove of a spectator whereas punches were thrown among players in the Cincinnati incident. Until recently, Smart had been a model player for Oklahoma State, but the three games without him (at Texas, Oklahoma, at Baylor) could end up derailing the entire season for a team that’s already lost five of its last six games.

MEMPHIS AT CONNECTICUT Both teams are headed to the NCAA Tournament, but Memphis and Connecticut are searching for quality wins to improve their seeding. Memphis has already proven it can win away from home, with neutral site victories over LSU and Oklahoma and a true road win at Louisville. Connecticut has already proven it can beat Memphis; the Huskies topped the Tigers at the FedExForum in midJanuary.

PITTSBURGH AT NORTH CAROLINA It’s a big week for Pittsburgh, which hosts undefeated and top-ranked Syracuse before making its first trip to Chapel Hill as a member of the ACC. The Panthers boast a gaudy 20–4 record, but they are 2–2 in their last four games, with both wins coming in overtime against lessthan-stellar competition (Miami and Virginia Tech). We will know a lot more about Jamie Dixon’s team after this week’s action.

OKLAHOMA AT OKLAHOMA STATE The Bedlam rematch will not include Marcus Smart, who has been suspended for three games for pushing a fan at Texas Tech. Even with Smart in the lineup, Oklahoma State has had trouble winning games. Heading into Tuesday night’s date with Texas in Austin, the Pokes had lost four straight. Once a certainty, the NCAA Tournament is now a longshot for Travis Ford’s team.

VCU AT SAINT LOUIS This is the first of two games between these two A-10 heavyweights over the next three weeks. Saint Louis, unbeaten in league play, is two games up on VCU and George Washington.

VCU had its six-game winning streak snapped on Saturday with a 69–62 loss at Saint Joseph’s. The Rams are still causing all kinds of trouble on defense but have not been as efficient on offense as previous Shaka Smart teams.

TENNESSEE AT MISSOURI Missouri’s NCAA chances have taken a hit thanks to a three-game losing streak that has left the Tigers with an overall record of 16–7 and a 4–6 mark in the SEC. It’s fair to say this is a must win for Mizzou, which does not play a sure-fire NCAA Tournament team the rest of the way. Tennessee might be on the good side of the bubble at this point, but the Vols sure could use a win or two away from Thompson Boling Arena.

MARYLAND AT DUKE This will have little impact on the ACC standings, but it’s a significant game because it’s the last meeting between these two rivals before Maryland heads to the Big Ten next season.

Duke has had the upper hand of late, but over the years Maryland has played the Blue Devils as well as any ACC team not named North Carolina. The Cameron Crazies will be ready.

Marcus Smart, a preseason first-team All-American, is in the midst of a three-game suspension for shoving a fan in the final minute of Oklahoma State’s loss at Texas Tech.

Name a team that you have changed your opinion of (either good or bad) in the past few weeks.

Light: St. John’s, left for dead after an 0–5 start in the Big East, is now looking like a team capable of winning a few games in the NCAA Tournament. Led by guard De’Angelo Harrison, the Red Storm have won five of their last six league games, with the only loss coming by three points at Creighton on Jan. 28. On Sunday, Harrison scored 19 points and hit some key free throws late to secure a 70–65 win in the rematch with Creighton. With an RPI of 63 and only one win against a top-50 opponent, St. John’s still has some work to do, but this team clearly has the talent to play its way into the NCAAs. Gall: SMU.

the American Athletic Conference.

The Mustangs showed some progress early in the season but didn’t exactly warrant much national attention.

That, however, has changed. After beating both Memphis and Cincinnati at home in convincing fashion over the last two weeks, Larry Brown’s team is now in the national rankings and appears headed to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993. The only five losses for SMU? At Louisville, at Cincinnati, at Arkansas, Virginia on a neutral court and at, gulp, South Florida. The loss to the Bulls is the only real headscratcher, and the Mustangs are perfect at home at renovated Moody Coliseum. Rematches with UConn, Louisville and Memphis in the final two weeks could be for more than just seeding in the conference tourney.

KANSAS STATE AT BAYLOR Baylor continues to be one the most disappointing teams in the nation. The Bears, loaded with talent, dropped to 14–9 overall and 2–8 in the Big 12 with a loss at Oklahoma on Saturday. Kansas State, on the other hand, has overachieved. The Wildcats, who beat Kansas in overtime on Monday night, are in position to earn an NCAA Tournament invite for the fifth straight season.

WEST VIRGINIA AT TEXAS West Virginia is making a late push to reach the NCAA Tournament, and Juwan Staten, a transfer from Dayton, has emerged as one of the top players in the league. Texas is still hanging around in the Big 12 race. The Longhorns are one game behind Kansas in the loss column, but they already have a win over the Jayhawks and still have one game remaining with KU. FLORIDA AT KENTUCKY It appears as though John Calipari’s talented young team is making progress, but we won’t know for sure until we see the Wildcats take on a team like Florida. The Gators have established themselves as the best team in the SEC and a legitimate national championship contender. With the exception of shooting free throws (297th in the nation), Billy Donovan’s team is without a weakness.

SUNDAY, FEB. 16 WISCONSIN AT MICHIGAN Wisconsin played its way out of the Big Ten title race by losing five of six games over a threeweek period. But the Badgers have found their footing after picking up wins at Illinois and vs.

Michigan State at home last week. And with a high RPI (No. 7), Bo Ryan’s team is still looking at a quality seed in the NCAAs. Michigan remains tied with Michigan State atop the Big Ten, but the Wolverines have not played their best of late.

VILLANOVA AT CREIGHTON Remember what happened the last time these teams met? Led by Ethan Wragge’s schoolrecord nine 3-pointers, Creighton drilled Villanova, ranked No. 4 at the time, 96–68 in one of the most stunning results of the season. The Wildcats, who have not lost since, will be eager to exact some revenge, but that won’t be easy. Creighton has not lost at home since last February.

Baker leading No. 4 Wichita State through perfect run

BY DAVE SKRETTA Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. — All those sages who claim there are valuable lessons to be learned from a loss have never met Ron Baker, the mop-haired sophomore guard for No. 4 Wichita State.

You see, the Shockers are riding a perfect start to the season, pushing their record to 26-0 with a 7867 victory over Southern Illinois on Tuesday night.

But people seem to forget that the Fabulous Baker Boy was actually hurt dur-

ing much of their Final Four run a year ago.

So that 30-9 record that Wichita State had last season? Six of those defeats came with Baker on the bench, trying desperately to recover from a stress fracture in his foot.

“I didn’t realize that until you mentioned it,” he said. “I wouldn’t say it’s because I’m on the floor, though. I think the teammates I’m around kind of help put that record together.”

Nevertheless, Baker has had a big part in it. He re-

turned from his injury in time for the Missouri Valley tournament, where the Shockers lost to Creighton in the title game, and was a big reason why they advanced to the Final Four, losing to eventual champion Louisville.

His only other loss came in an early visit to Tennessee last year.

This season, Baker is the Shockers’ second-leading scorer at nearly 13 points per game, and he’s also second on the team in assists and arguably their best perimeter defender.

Being the star is nothing new, though. Neither is winning.

Baker averaged more than 20 points as a senior for tiny Scott City (Kan.) High School, leading the Beavers to a 25-1 record.

The three-sport star — he was a standout quarterback and accomplished baseball player — poured in 26 points in the Class 3A championship, including the buzzer-beating putback that gave Scott City the title. His knack for seizing the moment has continued at Wichita

State.

The Shockers were struggling along against the Salukis until Baker heated up Tuesday night.

He wound up hitting three 3-pointers in the second half, part of his game-high 19 points, lifting Wichita State to a tougher-thanexpected victory that kept their perfect record intact.

“I like that kid a lot. I kind of drift toward shooters — you can tell, because we don’t have a lot on our team,” Salukis coach Barry Hinson joked.

He wasn’t having a

whole lot of fun midway through the game, when Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall got into his face on the sideline. The sophomore was passing up open looks and instead trying to make the remarkable play, and Marshall wasn’t happy.

Their one-sided conversation played out within earshot of hundreds of fans seated courtside.

“I told Ron that for whatever reason, I think he’s going at least one dribble too far at times,” Marshall said.

Rebels suffer tough loss on final shot Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Trevor Releford brought Alabama to the brink of a much-needed win, and then delivered it.

Releford made a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 0.6 seconds left to lift the Crimson Tide to a 67-64 victory over Mississippi on Tuesday night.

“We needed this one bad,” he said.

“This was huge.”

Releford scored 21 of his 26 points in the second half before delivering the final shot that helped snap a fourgame losing streak for the Tide (10-14, 4-7 Southeastern Conference).

Jarvis Summers had tied the game on two free throws with 13 seconds left for the Rebels (16-8, 7-4). Then Releford brought the ball across midcourt, passed once and got it right back.

Henderson led Ole Miss with 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting from 3-point range after scoring 29 and hitting eight 3s in a win over Missouri.

He missed his only attempt from inside the 3-point line while Alabama switched defenders up on him with big men and guards alike.

“We’ve seen almost everything as it relates to Marshall, and we challenged him,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. “He shot three free throws in this game. That’s the first time he’s been to the free-throw line on the road in our last four games, and that was being fouled on a 3-point shot so it doesn’t really count.

“We told him if they’re doing that and you’ve got a big on you, you’ve got to drive to the basket. He chose to shoot 4 for 15.”

“It was a tough, tough loss,” LaDarius White said. “We had them, but they made more plays at the end. We’re a better team than them but they were a better team tonight.”

Ice, snow force schedule changes

BY PETE IACOBELLLI Associated Press

The winter storm and icy conditions moving through the South on Wednesday has caused teams to postpone games scheduled for this week, including Georgia Tech’s contest with Boston College in Atlanta only hours after officials said the contest was a go.

As the storm continued throughout the day, officials with the Georgia Tech administrators thought better about opening the basketball arena and chose to postpone the game until Thursday.

While both teams and game officials were in Atlanta, Georgia Tech administrators decided road conditions

made it unsafe for many essential game operations personnel and fans to reach the downtown arena. The game will tip off at 5 p.m. Thursday.

Some schools didn’t wait long before deciding the winter conditions were too severe to play games.

The Georgia Tech women’s basketball game in Atlanta against Virginia scheduled for Wednesday night was cancelled earlier in the day.

Virginia officials expressed weather-related travel concerns and the game was postponed until Friday.

In South Carolina, the men’s basketball game between Vanderbilt and the Gamecocks at Columbia that was scheduled for Wednes-

day night was also postponed until Thursday. South Carolina officials announced the delay, citing the safety concerns.

The contest will be played 4 p.m. Thursday.

One marquee game — No. 8 Duke at rival North Carolina — was still scheduled to be played. Duke spokesman Matt Plizga said the Blue Devils will “adjust accordingly” to deal with the worsening conditions on the 11-mile drive between campuses.

North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham said fans should follow Gov. Pat McCrory’s advice to stay off the roads. McCrory said earlier Wednesday he would not attend.

Cunningham said in a

statement he believes “critical personnel” will be able to get to the Smith Center. He said more students will be admitted to 21,750-seat facility to fill in for those ticket holders who don’t show up.

South Carolina coach Frank Martin took his family to work with him on Wednesday.

Martin said he didn’t want them to be at their home should the neighborhood lose power.

“My son is shooting baskets right now,” the coach said of 6-year-old Christian. “I might put him in at practice.”

Yankees star Jeter to retire after ’14

BY BEN WALKER Associated Press

NEW YORK — Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter says he will retire after this season “with absolutely no regrets,” ending one of the greatest careers in the history of baseball’s most storied franchise.

The 39-year-old New York captain posted a long letter on his Facebook page Wednesday saying that 2014 will be his final year.

A 13-time All-Star who has led the Yankees to five World Series championships, Jeter was limited to 17 games last season while trying to recover from a broken left ankle sustained during the 2012 playoffs.

“I know it in my heart. The 2014 season will be my last year playing professional baseball,” he wrote.

“I have gotten the very most

“I have gotten the very most out of my life playing baseball, and I have absolutely no regrets.”

Derek Jeter New York Yankees out of my life playing baseball, and I have absolutely no regrets,” he said.

Jeter was the last link to the powerful Yankees teams that won three straight World Series crowns from 1998-2000.

Longtime teammates Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte retired after last year.

“Derek Jeter is Mr. Yankee of his era,” Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner told

The Associated Press. “He was the face of one of the greatest teams ever.”

But Jeter’s joyride hit a big speed bump recently.

“Last year was a tough one for me. As I suffered through a bunch of injuries, I realized that some of the things that always came easily to me and were always fun had started to become a struggle,” Jeter wrote. “The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it would be time to move forward.”

“So really it was months ago when I realized that this season would likely be my last. As I came to this conclusion and shared it with my friends and family, they all told me to hold off saying anything until I was absolutely 100 percent sure,” he wrote.

“And the thing is, I could

not be more sure,” he wrote.

Jeter hit just .190 with one homer and seven RBIs last season.

His agent, Casey Close, said Jeter wanted to declare his intentions before the Yankees start spring training later this week so that his future status wouldn’t be a distraction.

“I’m excited for him. It’s kind of nice to see him go out on his own terms,” Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said at spring camp in Glendale, Ariz.

Mattingly finished up his All-Star career with the Yankees in 1995, the same season Jeter made his big league debut.

Harvick can’t be ignored at Stewart-Haas

BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kevin Harvick took his first spin in his new Stewart-Haas Racing ride and immediately felt at ease.

It was three days after Harvick had wrapped up his stint with Richard Childress Racing and he was turning laps around Charlotte Motor Speedway with his new team in a rare December test. Any anxiety he had over leaving RCR after 13 years vanished.

“I told them on Lap 2 at Charlotte, ‘Thank you guys very much. You have just confirmed every reason that I came here to drive this car,’” Harvick said.

Nearly 15 months after his surprising decision to leave Childress to drive for good friend Tony Stewart, Harvick will finally make his SHR debut this weekend at Daytona International Speedway. His first race will be Saturday night’s exhibition Sprint Unlimited, the first of two Speedweeks races Harvick won a year ago in his so-called “lame duck” season.

He felt all season that nobody had high expectations for him back then and proved everyone wrong with four wins.

Now, with the slate wiped

clean, he has made clear what he’s chasing at SHR. “I expect to win and race for a championship,” Harvick said. “That’s why I came here.”

Very few will make the mistake of overlooking Harvick this season, for two very different reasons.

He has established himself as one of the top closers in the business, and many of his wins have come from being in the right place to capitalize in the waning laps. That will come into play in this year’s overhauled NASCAR scoring system, which will reward winning over consistency — all the way to the dramatic winner-take-all season finale.

NASCAR Chairman Brian France has revamped the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship into a 16-driver elimination system that will be whittled down to four eligible drivers racing for the title in the finale. The first one across the finish line takes the grand prize.

A driver can make the Chase by winning a race, and can advance in the Chase by winning during the elimination rounds.

It’s a system that could — albeit temporarily — stall Jimmie Johnson’s quest for

a record-tying seventh Cup title.

It also may suit Harvick perfectly.

“He shows up for the big games,” said Greg Zipadelli, vice president of competition at SHR. “He can rise up at the end of the race, he can rise up for the big races. I think that’ll help drive our company, our group to a better product week in, week out.”

And all eyes will be on SHR this year as the team, which struggled last year after expanding to three cars with the addition of Danica Patrick, swells to four full-time teams with four high-profile drivers.

Stewart, who missed the final 15 races of last season with a broken leg suffered in a sprint car crash, has been cleared to race again and will be back in his car Friday for the first time since the August accident. He will race in Saturday night’s exhibition with many wondering if the threetime champion will return as the same fearless driver.

Stewart also has his third crew chief since he won the 2011 championship and an entirely different race organization than the one he had before his injury.

Gone from the roster is Ryan Newman, the driver Stewart

personally lured to the team when he joined Gene Haas as co-owner in 2009. Newman is now driving for Childress and, while Stewart was recovering from his injuries, Haas added Kurt Busch to the roster in a new fourth car that Haas will pay for.

Yup, the driver Stewart once punched in the head on the opening day of Speedweeks is now his teammate and employee.

And things weren’t always rosy between Harvick and Busch. That relationship was mended last year as the two worked together through an RCR partnership, and they developed such a respect for one another that Harvick vouched for Busch to Stewart. They’ve also got Patrick in the fold, and while the three heavyweights will be vying for the championship, it will be an organizational goal to help Patrick improve on last year’s 27th-place finish in the final Cup standings.

Stewart believes any worries about SHR turning into a circus act are misguided.

“We are putting a collection of talent together. There are flaws in all of us,” he said. “As much as people are making it Please see NASCAR | 13

In New Orleans, Benson gets All-Star respect

BY BRETT MARTEL Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — One of the people most responsible for bringing NBA All-Stars back to the Big Easy this weekend is an 86-year-old man who wasn’t that into basketball for much of his life.

He is Tom Benson. And in New Orleans, NBA fans and community leaders are grateful the NFL owner — who also now owns the Pelicans — finally came around.

“He really stepped up to the plate in a big way, because there was more than an idle threat that our team was going to get moved out of the city,” New Orleans Mayor

Mitch Landrieu said.

Benson was widely credited with keeping the NFL’s Saints in New Orleans when he bought that club for $75 million in 1985. In April 2012, he paid $338 million for New Orleans’ NBA franchise, then called the Hornets, who’d struggled financially since relocating from Charlotte in 2002.

With that purchase came a promise that New Orleans would host its second NBA All-Star game since 2008, providing an enormous boost to a local economy built in large part on tourism.

“Mr. Benson has played a major role in the revitaliza-

tion of New Orleans through sports,” said Jay Cicero, head of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, which organizes bids for major sporting events. “If you look at some choices out there where NFL or NBA teams could go, other cities might be more profitable, but Mr. Benson loves this community and it’s apparent through his actions the past eight, nine years.”

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina put many aspects of New Orleans’ future in doubt, particularly its role as a small-market host city for two major pro sports franchises.

Even the future of the Saints was in doubt, despite

Louisiana’s renowned love affair with the NFL franchise dating back to its founding in 1967. The football team was temporarily relocated to San Antonio, where Benson also had business interests, and officials there have said they believed Benson flirted with the idea of keeping the Saints in Texas permanently.

The NFL, however, wanted to maintain a presence in New Orleans and help drive the area’s recovery. Benson announced at the end of the 2005 football season that he was on board with that plan, and said he hoped the Saints would be a catalyst for redevelopment in the region.

Football practices Wednesday for Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College All Star Bowl for draft-eligible seniors at Furman also were cancelled. â&#x2013; In Tennessee: Chattanooga postponed its home contest with Western Carolina.

The regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBA teams were all out of town and far from the storm Wednesday except for the Orlando Magic, who are hosting the Memphis Grizzlies. The forecast for Orlando, though, was 81 degrees.

No NHL games are scheduled to be played as the league took three weeks off during the Sochi Olympics.

out to be a recipe for disaster, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the opposite. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge support system for each other.â&#x20AC;?

That similar system has worked at Hendrick Motorsports, where Johnson has won six of the last eight championships. A seventh title would tie him with Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the change to the Chase format is designed to stop him, nor does he believe it will hinder his record-setting opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I look at the years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won championships,

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won a lot of races. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won a lot of races in the Chase,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the way this format plays out, we would have that opportunity come Homestead. So this could be something very good for us.

If we can keep our stats like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been, and the process weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used, it could be very good for us.â&#x20AC;?

It could also be good for Dale Earnhardt Jr., his teammate who turns 40 this October still seeking his first Sprint Cup title. If the new Chase format had been applied last season, Earnhardt would have been the champion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I am on the verge

him, just because he was this 17-year-old kid right out of high school who looked out of place. He was skinny, but he was tough. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been winning since the day he got there,â&#x20AC;?

Mattingly said.

Jeter is the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; career hits leader with 3,316.

He is a lifetime .312 hitter in 19 seasons, with 256 home runs and 1,261 RBIs. Jeter has scored 1,876 runs and stolen 348 bases.

He also is a five-time Gold Glove winner.

Added up, his numbers put him among the greats in Yankees history, with

fans often invoking the names of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and others when mentioning Jeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy.

As for rating Jeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place with the Yankees, Mattingly said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about DiMaggio, Gehrig and Mantle. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right there.â&#x20AC;?

Plus, No. 2 is defined by so much more than his numbers. His backhanded flip in the playoffs, his diving catch into the stands, his speech to close old Yankee Stadium and his home run for career hit No. 3,000.

of breaking through and having possibly one of my best seasons,â&#x20AC;? Earnhardt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the stars aligning or fate that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making these changes and maybe we just have the type of season we need to have to be the guy at Homestead holding the trophy.â&#x20AC;?

This year also marks the return of the No. 3 to the track in the Sprint Cup Series. The number has not been used at NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest level since Earnhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fatal accident on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, but it is back with Austin Dillon and the Childress organization.

Childress is adamant that

Earnhardt had a succession plan for his famed number, and that Childressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grandson is the perfect driver to use the No. 3.

Dillon has used it throughout his career and won the Nationwide Series title last season with the number.

Fan responses can be mixed to the use of the No. 3, but Dillon is certain heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing the right thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has the right to their own opinion and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough good responses for me to be confident in what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing and going after,â&#x20AC;? Dillon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy at this point and excited to see what happens at Daytona. I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready.â&#x20AC;?
