Area under winter storm watch

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The first significant winter storm of the season for the MidSouth is set to bring a mix of wintry weather to Corinth.

On Saturday, a winter storm watch was posted across the region for this evening into Monday, and a wind chill advisory through 9 a.m. this morning extended as far south as the state

line.

Alcorn County First District Supervisor Lowell Hinton was keeping an eye on the forecast and hoping for the best.

“We’ve got our trucks in the shop and we’ve got them loaded,” he said. “If anything hits, we’re going to be out as soon as we can putting salt and rock down on the bridges and overpasses and slick places. All you

can do is have everything as prepared as you can.”

The National Weather Service says the Corinth area should be prepared for an inch or two of sleet and snow accumulation.

An area of snow and sleet is expected to begin to develop by early evening west of the Mississippi River and spread east and south after midnight, continuing into the afternoon

Monday.

Snow is likely before noon Monday before mixing with sleet and freezing rain later in the day.

A high of 32 is forecast.

Corinth Street Commissioner Philip Verdung said his department on Saturday had been loading the trucks with salt and getting them ready to go. They were also working on building a

salt brine machine to pre-treat some areas.

If it hits as predicted, Police Chief Ralph Dance encourages drivers to stay off the roads if possible.

“If you hit a spot of ice, don’t hit the brakes and don’t accelerate on it,” he said. “Slow and steady and pump the brakes, don’t hit them, is the best thing to do on ice.”

Meeting President Obama Teen competing

for state youth title

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Cortez Spence plans on being himself.

His main piece of advice will be just that when he takes part in the Boys & Girls Club State Youth of the Year competition in Jackson on Feb. 19-21.

The Corinth High School junior finished runner-up in the competition last year.

“Everyone was so impressed with him last year,”

said Corinth Club Unit Director Christy Grice. “He did so well and I believe if he totally prepares himself he will come back the winner.”

Spence has already been preparing for his second try.

He recently captured the American Legion Post 6 Oratorical Contest.

“I have more confidence speaking in front of crowds,” said Spence.

Rienzi minister visits White House

People are people.

That’s the message at the core of the Rev. Lamar Walker’s life and ministry and a lesson he’s learned again and again

through experiences both close to home and as far away as the hallowed halls of the White House.

Walker, who currently serves as an associate minister at Hopewell M.B. Church in Rien-

President Barack Obama issued the challenge.

The Boys & Girls Club accepted.

Those involved with the local club kicked off its “My Brother’s Keeper Challenge” on Thursday night. Mississippi State University running back Ashton Shumpert was the keynote speaker for the ceremony.

“Too often we ask kids to change, but we aren’t giving them something to change to,” said Shumpert.

“The boys really need something other than basketball,” added Corinth Unit Director Christy Grice. “They need other men to take them places and let them experience different things.”

Dilworth shares war hero story of ‘Uncle Aaron’

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

At the end of a narrow road in Biggersville, tucked away among the pines, lies the quiet John Dilworth Cemetery.

“He’s not really a Dilworth, but he’s family,” said Danny Dilworth as he crouched to place a fresh bouquet of flowers upon the grave of his uncle, Aaron Walter Rogers.

“He’s been my hero since I was five years old. As a boy, I always admired his sophistication and spiffy

dress.”

Reflecting on treasured memories of his beloved Uncle Aaron, Dilworth painted the story of a 1943 Biggersville High School graduate who found himself in the sands of Iwo Jima shortly after his commencement.

Enlisting in the United States Marine Corp during the height of World War WII, Rogers reported for basic training in San Diego, Calif. before moving north to Camp Pendleton.

“Sometime before shipping overseas, he came home for a visit.

I remember admiring him in his handsome ‘Dress Blues,’” wrote Dilworth in a tribute article for “Mature Lifestyles of Mississippi.”

“If the other Marines are as fit and prepared as my Uncle Aaron, I thought, our enemies don’t stand a chance. WWII will be over soon as he hits the battlefield.”

DILWORTH CONTINUED FROM 1A

Hawaii for further training in jungle terrain, the young Marine was then deployed to the Pacific island of Iwo Jima, where he found not the overgrown jungle he was expecting, but a sandy barren shore.

What was presumed to be a short operation turned into 26 long days of hell on earth as the United States Armed Forces fought for and seized the war-torn island from the Japanese Empire.

“Uncle Aaron witnessed the raising of the flag on Mount Suribachi, but wouldn’t talk about it much,” said Dilworth.

“Only two of any six Marines survived to walk off the island, the other four were either critically injured or died in battle. My hero was one of the two.”

With shrapnel buried in his hip from a grenade, the wounded warrior returned home and enrolled in college on a GI bill.

He first attended Wood Junior College, a Methodist School in Mathison before transferring

to Northeast Mississippi Community College when it opened its doors a year later in 1948.

“One of my favorite stories about Uncle Aaron during his college years is without a doubt the college president’s reaction to him having the only car on campus,” said Dilworth with a laugh. “My dad let him have a 1946 Ford car to drive and told him he could pay for it when he got out of school.

Having the only vehicle around, the students were quite envious. So, the president called him into his office one day and told him he needed to keep his keys in his office. Uncle Aaron told him in no uncertain terms that he was not gonna let him have his keys.”

Among the students of NEMCC’s first graduating class, Rogers and his fellow classmates were honored in recent years during the college’s 60th anniversary.

One of the few remaining members of the class of ’48, he was asked to speak at a special luncheon in 2008.

Addressing the expectant crowd, he chose to retreat from the spotlight and instead gave glory to those who paid the ultimate price.

“I’m just lucky I didn’t get caught in the crosshairs of a sniper,” he remarked at the occasion.

He would go on to enjoy a successful 54-year career with the Johnston and Murphy Shoe Company before moving to Olive Branch where he spent the remainder of his 90 years.

A humble man with a huge heart for others, Rogers was known for his charismatic sense of humor and easy going grin.

“He was laid to rest in a graveside service with military honors on Sat-

urday, Jan. 3 with the shrapnel still buried in his side,” recalled Dilworth as he reflected on the somber day.

Weathered photographs, a Japanese cere-

monial sword and a handful of other sentimental documents serve as a bittersweet reminder of a man who was without a doubt loved and admired by many.

“He did so well and I believe if he totally prepares himself he will come back the winner.”

SPENCE CONTINUED FROM 1A

Just like last year, the Warrior band member had to put in the time on a series of essays. He will also have to give a three-minute speech on his experiences with the Boys & Girls Club at the state competition.

Gulf Coast’s Dominique Howard, already in college, was chosen as Mississippi’s 2014 Youth of the Year.

Last year, Spence met former winner of the competition in Rep. Jeramey D. Anderson.

Anderson is the young-

est African American ever elected to the legislative in U.S. history. At the age of 22, Anderson was also the youngest member elected to the Mississippi Legislature.

The state winner earns $50,000 and an opportunity to meet the president.

took him to Washington, D.C., where he had the opportunity to attend the annual White House Christmas Ball and meet President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and numerous other high level officials.

The experience left him with a profound feeling of hope.

“I really thank God for allowing me to go there because it really helped me to see what I have been looking for for years. I saw the attitude of our president and senators, both Democrats and Republicans. It gave me a sense of pride. The reason for that is because they did not have to treat me the way they did. I was treated like I was no less or no greater

than they are,” he said.

Walker said he was struck by the understanding that despite the power and influence of those in the room and the large ideological differences separating them they are all simply people with the same hearts and the same hopes and dreams as everyone else.

In his few minutes with the president he told him he was praying for him and Obama thanked him for his prayers and asked him to continue.

He returned home with a renewed enthusiasm for his book project which will focus on bridging the gaps of race, denomination and social class that so often divide individuals and communities.

“I want people to see that it’s not a color thing,

that we can be color blind,” he said.

Through his own experiences and the experiences of those he’s talked to for the book he hopes to encourage a greater understanding of the common bonds that unite rather than the differences that divide.

“What God wants us to be and the things we need to be, we need God to get there,” he said.

Walker is continuing to work on the book project and hopes to have it complete by the end of the year or early next year. He looks forward to sharing his unique perspective with others and hopes it will encourage everyone to look at the world differently and focus on the things that unite instead of divide.

The MBK Community Challenge encourages communities (cities, rural municipalities and tribal nations) to implement a coherent cradleto-college-and-career strategy for improving the life outcomes of all young people to ensure that they can reach their full potential, regardless of who they are, where they come from, or the circumstances into which they are born.

The six goals are: ■ Ensuring all children enter school cognitively, physically, socially and emotionally ready ■ Ensuring all children read at grade level by 3rd grade ■ Ensuring all youth graduate from high school ■ Ensuring all youth complete post-secondary education or training ■ Ensuring all youth out of school are employed ■ Ensuring all youth remain safe from violent crime “The challenge is about helping more of our young people stay on track,” said President Obama in starting the program last year.

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

Let’s openly discuss school calendar change “That’s the way we’ve always done it.”

People successful in the private sector know this analogy will bring failure.

We are left to wonder if this type of mindset in education is why every study out there shows students in the United States are not performing as well as many in other countries.

Today’s rule of thumb is not whether change is coming, but how are we going to handle the change because it’s certainly on the way.

That being said, it is refreshing to learn the Corinth School District will take a look at shaking up the traditional school calendar in future years.

It will not happen in the next school year, but the district’s board of trustees has agreed to give further study to a proposed calendar that would start around the usual time but would extend the school year into mid-June with several extended breaks inserted into the calendar.

The district will gather feedback on it and the two proposed traditional calendars.

Presenting the nontraditional calendar to the board, Superintendent Lee Childress said it’s time to give some thought to a different approach.

We agree with Lee Childress.

Let’s take a look at our business model in our schools and look for ways to get better, even if the discussion gets tough.

“We have had considerable discussions about literacy issues,” Childress told trustees.

“We’ve had considerable discussions about summer loss and the effect that children being off for an eight to nine week period over the summer has both from the summer to the beginning of school, but also the cumulative loss that appears over a period of time.”

The nontraditional draft calendar for 20152016 has school starting Aug. 3 and ending June 17 with graduation on June 18. It has three extended breaks: fall break from Oct. 12 to Oct. 30, winter break from Dec. 21 to Jan. 11 and spring break from March 14 to April 1.

Each break lasts three weeks. Weather makeup days would be taken in one of the breaks.

A number of initial concerns surfaced among board members, including the potential for some complicated childcare arrangements.

But there is interest.

“It is very difficult to not entertain an idea like this if you have anywhere between a 30 and 40 percent drop in your literacy comprehension rates over a summer period,” said trustee Frank Davis to fellow board members.

Childress said he doesn’t expect a midJune finish date to be extremely popular, but he feels it may be what’s needed.

It’s called change.

Some argue the country’s standing in education is lacking “because we are continuing to operate schools as we have in the past,” he said.

Let’s debate a possible change in the Corinth School District calendar.

We believe it’s worth a look.

Medicaid spending exceeds national growth STARKVILLE — When former state senator Tim Johnson announced his decision to switch from the GOP to the Democratic Party in declaring his intent to take on incumbent Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, it was a virtual certainty that the subject of public health care spending would arise.

Johnson sounded the theme early in his speech, when he said: “My hometown hospital in Kosciusko was up here the other day asking for a $5 million, a $5 million stop gap bond loan to try to stay open due to the drastic hits they’ve taken because Republican leadership refused to accept the return of our federal tax dollars thru Medicaid expansion. Instead of doing the right thing, the Republican leadership would rather see a $5 million tax burden on the backs of the 18,000 citizens of Attala County.”

Johnson is absolutely correct that Mississippi’s Republican leadership has resisted Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. But the assertion that Mississippi has “refused to accept the return of our federal tax dollars” is simply not true.

As one might expect in the poorest state in the union and contrary to much of the partisan political rhetoric surrounding the Affordable Care Act, total Medicaid spending (adjusted for in-

flation) has grown by a higher percentage in Mississippi over the last decade than Sid Salter it has nationColumnist ally.

A review by the Pew Charitable Trusts and the MacArthur Foundation this week presents some interesting findings as public health care finance issues remain a major point of contention in the current legislative session and in the unfolding election year.

The numbers are revealing: Total Medicaid spending in Mississippi (adjusted for inflation) over the period 2000 to 2012 doubled from $2.6 billion in 2000 to $4.6 billion in 2012. For the same period nationally, total Medicaid spending in the U.S. grew from $263.7 billion to $429.2 billion.

Based on those numbers, the study proved that Medicaid spending in Mississippi grew over that period by 76 percent while the national growth rate in Medicaid spending was 63 percent.

What about the scope of the Medicaid program? In 2010, total Medicaid enrollment in Mississippi was 772,141 representing 26 percent of the state’s population. Nationally in 2010, Medicaid enrollment was 66.39 million, representing

21 percent of the U.S. population.

What about impact of the Medicaid program per enrollee? In 2000, Medicaid spending per enrollee in Mississippi was $4,400.

By 2010, that number had grown to $5,666 per Mississippi Medicaid enrollee – an increase of 28.8 percent. In the U.S. in 2000, Medicaid spending per enrollee was $5,956. By 2010, Medicaid spending per U.S. enrollee had grown to $6,254 – and increase of only 5 percent.

The numbers above took into account total Medicaid spending.

What about state-funded Medicaid spending? In 2012, Mississippi-funded Medicaid expenditures totaled $1.2 billion. That accounted for 12.7 percent state spending as a share of state own-source revenue.

Nationally, state’s provided $181.4 billion or 16.2 percent state spending as a share of state own-source revenue.

Pew analysts Maria Schiff and Matt McKillop observed: “Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (and later legislation that extended certain provisions of the law), the federal government contributed an extra $103 billion to Medicaid, with states receiving the bulk of that in 2009 and 2010. The Great Recession swelled Medicaid rolls and

drove increases in total program expenditures, but the states’ share of Medicaid spending actually declined because of federal stimulus money.

“The extra federal money stopped flowing in July 2011, which was the primary reason state Medicaid expenditures rose steeply that year and in 2012, and why federal Medicaid expenditures fell.”

Medicaid expansion under ACA was a political nonstarter in the 2014 congressional elections and will remain so in the 2015 Mississippi general election.

The state’s hospitals and public health care advocates will indeed continue their push in support of Medicaid expansion through ACA and the high cost of uncompensated care in the state may ultimately carry the argument in their favor.

But Johnson’s argument that Mississippi has “refused to accept the return of our federal tax dollars” for public health care generally and for Medicaid specifically just isn’t so. We’ve accepted it by the truck load for decades whether Democrats or Republicans controlled the Mississippi Legislature.

63rd Annual National Prayer Breakfast ... let us prey There was a time when the 63-year-old National Prayer Breakfast was a rather mundane affair. It rarely made news. Speakers — evangelist Billy Graham spoke at most of the early ones — talked about Jesus and salvation. Presidents, beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower, would follow with unremarkable comments mostly ignored or relegated to the religion page by the secular press.

In recent years the breakfast’s higher purpose has sometimes been tainted by politics from a lower kingdom, not by the choice of the Senate and House members who alternate organizing the event, but by some speakers who have used it to promote personal agendas.

Mother Teresa spoke against abortion at the 1994 breakfast and announced that any pregnant woman who didn’t want her child could send the child to her.

That made headlines and I wrote approvingly of her remarks, noting they fit into a moral-spiritual framework.

Two years ago, retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson spoke and used the occasion to lecture President Obama on The Affordable Care Act. The notoriety

his remarks brought him has led to a potential presidential candidacy. I wrote a colCal umn agreeThomas ing with his position, but Columnist thought it the wrong venue.

At last Thursday’s breakfast, following a powerful personal salvation talk

by NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Darrell Waltrip, President Obama counseled the world by linking radical Islam to the Crusades of the 11th century and the Inquisition of the 15th century. He said Christians shouldn’t get on their “high horse” about fanaticism, asserting that people acting “in Christ’s name” used religion to justify slavery and Jim Crow laws. That’s partially true, but the difference is that Jesus never justified violence or discrimination. The Koran records that Mohammed did, as do growing numbers of his radical followers today.

The Crusades were a response to the violent Muslim takeover of what we call the Holy Land. What does that have to do with today’s Muslim “death cult,” as the

president correctly called Islamic extremists? These are beheading and flogging people, oppressing and raping women, promoting child marriage, and jailing or discriminating against anyone who practices another faith, or no faith, including some who practice a different brand of Islam.

It was similar behavior that spawned the Crusades.

Modern Jews and Christians aren’t known for such behavior, and though it may be true that it is not unprecedented for Christian and Judaic faiths to use religion to justify violence and repression, it is radical Islamists who have taken violence, repression and extremism to a new and dangerous level.

One cannot compare religions based in peace and love with the religion of radical Islamists and their propagation of atrocities against those who do not believe as they do.

Yes, as the president said, religion was used to justify slavery and Jim Crow laws, but religion also played a major role in the liberation of the slaves. Abraham Lincoln quoted Scripture in his 1858 “house divided” speech. Northern preachers filled their sermons with righteous indignation

against slavery. In the South, it was the faithful who came down on the wrong side of history, not God’s word, not His entreaty that we love one another.

The Bible did not command us to wage war against infidels and slaughter innocents. Are these commands not found in the Koran? The Middle East Forum writes, “... in its fatwa justifying the burning of the Jordanian captive, the Islamic State cites Muhammad putting out the eyes of some with “heated irons” (he also cut their hands and feet off). The fatwa also cites Khalid bin al-Walid – the heroic “Sword of Allah” – who burned apostates to death, including one man whose head he set on fire to cook his dinner on.”

I don’t recall Jesus taking similar actions, do you?

Whatever the president’s intent, he engaged in a kind of historical guilt by association, presenting an incomplete and distorted picture, as well as bad history.

New England faces another snowstorm BOSTON — Mother Nature is proving to be cold-hearted to New England for Valentine’s Day. A blizzard warning was in effect for coastal areas from Connecticut to Maine on Saturday for a fourth major storm in less than a month, promising heavy snow and powerful winds to heap more misery on a region that has already seen more than 6 feet of snow in some areas.

The storm is expected to continue into Sunday then bring bone-chilling cold behind it. Snow amounts ranging from 8 to 14 inches in southern New England up to two feet in Maine were forecast, followed by temperatures expected to dip below zero.

National Weather Service meteorologist William Babcock said the snow might let up overnight then “come back full forceâ€? by Sunday morning. Â

GOP: Migrants get ‘amnesty bonuses’ WASHINGTON — Millions of immigrants benefiting from President Barack Obama’s executive actions could get a windfall from the IRS, a reversal of fortune after years of paying taxes to help fund government programs they were banned from receiving.

Armed with new Social Security numbers, many of these immigrants who were living in the U.S. illegally will now be able to claim up to four years’ worth of tax credits designed to benefit the working poor. For big families, that’s a maximum of nearly $24,000, as long as they can document their earnings during those years.

Some Republicans are labeling the payments “amnesty bonuses,� one more reason they oppose Obama’s program shielding millions of immigrants from deportation. “I represent hard working, law-biding Texans,� said Rep. Sam Johnson, a senior Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee. “I think these amnesty rewards, and that’s what they are, need to be stopped.�

Advocates argue that many of these im-

migrants pay taxes, so they should be able to claim the same tax credits as anybody else. Â

Man asked to use plane as weapon NEW YORK — In the terrorism trial of a man accused of being one of al-Qaida’s early leaders, an American described being asked in 1995

by Osama bin Laden to kill Egypt’s president by ramming his plane with his own in midair. “It took me by surprise,� Ihab Mohammad Ali testified recently in New York. “I responded, ‘Well, wouldn’t I be killing myself?’�

Ali, 52, said bin Laden answered: “Well, then you would be a martyr.’�

The glimpse into the early days of al-Qaida when bin Laden had a private jet and was barely known to law enforcement officials came amid the government’s presentation of evidence over the past three weeks against Khaled al-Fawwaz, a man portrayed by prosecutors as a key player in the terror group when it was in its infancy.

Al-Fawwaz has pleaded not guilty to conspiring to kill Americans in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. The attacks killed 224 people, including a dozen Americans. The government rested Thursday.

Ali testified he met bin Laden 25 years ago at an al-Qaida guest house in Pakistan, around the time he pledged allegiance to al-Qaida. Â

Subpoenas arrive as governor resigns SALEM, Ore. — Just hours after Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber announced his decision to resign, a subpoena arrived in a state office building confirming that federal agents are looking into the influencepeddling scandal that led to the abrupt end of a four-decade political career.

The Democratic governor gave in to mounting pressure Friday, abandoning his office amid suspicions that his live-in fiancĂŠe used her relationship with him to land contracts for her green-energy consulting business.

Anti-terror efforts go to White House MINNEAPOLIS — Prosecutors and civic leaders from several U.S. cities will convene at a White House summit this week to discuss ways of countering violent extremism, eager to share ideas on how to shut off terrorist recruiting pipelines that have sent Western fighters to conflicts in the Middle East and Africa.

The U.S. attorney’s offices from Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Boston will discuss the progress of pilot programs in those cities to stem the causes of radicalization, particularly in their immigrant populations, in hopes of breaking the recruiting cycle.

From Minnesota, which has struggled with the issue for much of the past decade, U.S. Attorney Andy Luger will lead a delegation of about 15 people, including law enforcement officials and Somali community leaders, to Wednesday’s meeting.

Minnesota’s program gets its formal launch next month. Luger told The Associated Press that key elements developed with Somali community leaders include more youth programming, more mentors, expanded job opportunities and job training, more dialogue between youth and religious leaders, and help affording college.

Two museums close to fundraising goal JACKSON — A Madison law firm and a Jackson bank have donated $850,000 to two Mississippi history museums being built in downtown Jackson.

The Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum have now raised more than $12 million. The goal is $16 million of private money to go with an estimated $87 million in state funding.

The museums will share one structure near the state Capitol.

Construction started in December 2013, and the museums are scheduled to open during the state’s bicentennial in 2017.

The latest contributions came from Trustmark Bank and the law firm Butler Snow.

Trustmark’s gift of $500,000 will sponsor the lobby and Community Room shared by the two museums. Butler Snow’s $350,000 donation will sponsor the opening gallery, “Mississippi’s Freedom Struggle,� in the Civil Rights Museum.

Gov. Haley Barbour pushed the Legislature to put state money into the museums with the idea that private money would also be raised.

The Legislature has already committed $54 million to the two museums. The department is requesting another $33 million for the museums this year.

In January, the museums’ received a donation of $2.5 million from Ray Neilsen, who’s a former chairman of the board and worked in several jobs for Ameristar Casinos Inc., a company founded by his father; and from the Californiabased charity started by Ray Neilsen’s father, the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation. Â

The secretary of state is next in line to succeed the governor.

When Kitzhaber closes the door on his life in public office, the scandal that toppled Oregon’s longest serving governor will still linger.

Subpoenas delivered to the Department of Administrative Services Friday request a massive array of documents from Kitzhaber’s administration.

Sentencing set in motorcyclist deaths OXFORD — A Mississippi man will be sentenced on March 26 in the deaths of two motorcyclists on the Natchez Trace.

Donnie William Sartain of Tishomingo pleaded guilty in federal court in Oxford last November.

The 50-year-old Sartain pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter. He was indicted in last August on two counts of driving under the influence resulting in death, and two counts of negligent homicide/ manslaughter. He was initially charged with two counts of murder.

Sartain’s charges stem from a wreck on Aug. 6, when authorities say his truck crossed the center line on the Natchez Trace in Prentiss County and struck a motorcycle, killing Gerard Nasult and Pauline Demeres, both 56, of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Â

Jackson State seeks new athletic director JACKSON — Jackson State athletic director Vivian Fuller has been reassigned to associate vice provost for student affairs, a move the university describes in a news release as a “strategic redeployment of talent.�

JSU president Carolyn Meyers says the school said it is conducting a national search for Fuller’s replacement.

Fuller’s reassignment comes seven months after she received a contract extension as athletic director. Her new deal was set to run up to July 2017 and paid

$210,000 annually.

The school says Robert Walker will serve as interim athletic director effective March 1.

Walker previously served as interim until Fuller was hired and then moved to director of community relations in 2011. Nedra Brown will assume day-to-day duties of the athletic department until Walker begins. Â

Ridgeland limits pot, e-cigs in businesses RIDGELAND — The city of Ridgeland is putting restrictions on businesses seeking permits to sell electronic cigarettes.

The restrictions are the same as those put on pawn shops, nail salons and tattoo parlors.

Future businesses that wish to open up retail stores for electronic cigarettes will go through a longer permitting process before receiving a license to operate.

For good measure, the Madison County Journal reports the city added any businesses selling marijuana, excluding medical marijuana, to the restricted use definition.

The city defines an electronic smoking device retailer as a store where e-cigarettes and related products account for more than 30 percent of gross sales area, 500 square feet of retail space or greater or 30 percent of gross sales.

It does not ban retailers that do not exceed these requirements from selling the product.

Electronic smoking devices produce a vapor that is inhaled and offered as an alternative to smoking. The practice is called vaping.

Existing retailers that fall under this restriction must register by Feb. 4, 2019.

Mike Jefcoat’s Magnolia Vapes on U.S. Highway 51 in Ridgeland has been open for more than a year. “We will have to register within the five-year period,� Jefcoat said. “Other than that we do not plan to change anything about the way we operate at this time.�

Alan Hart, director of Community Development, said the restrictions are part of a larger batch of amendments passed that mostly corrects clerical errors in a 2014 ordinance.

Frustrated GOP tastes majority control limits

BY BY ERICA WERNER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It wasn’t supposed to be like this for Republicans.

A month into their control of both chambers of Congress, they are confronting the very real possibility of a shutdown of the Homeland Security Department later this month.

Instead of advancing a conservative agenda and showing voters they can govern, the GOP has been unable to overcome Senate Democrats’ stalling tactics in a dispute over immigration.

“I suppose elections have consequences except in the United States Senate,” complained GOP Rep. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina, summing up the frustration for many House Republicans. “Tell me how it would be different if Harry Reid were still running the place,” he added, naming the Senate Democratic leader who was booted into the minority in November’s midterm elections.

Although their party is now setting the floor schedule and calling hearings, Republicans are finding to their chagrin that important things haven’t changed from when they were in the Senate minority.

Republicans are six votes short of the 60 needed to advance most legislation, and Senate rules grant numerous rights to the minority party. That means if

Democrats remain united, they have the ability to block GOP bills just as they did while in the majority.

Democrats have been united against Housepassed legislation funding the Homeland Security Department through September, the end of the budget year, while also rolling back President Barack Obama’s executive policies on immigration.

As a result Congress appears to be at a stalemate on the issue, leaving Republicans with only a few options: pass a short-term extension of current funding levels, fold and strip the immigration language opposed by Democrats from the bill, or let the Homeland Security Department run out of money when current funding expires Feb. 27.

They’re all bad options from the GOP perspective. A short-term extension just pushes the problem to a later date.

Removing the immigration language would amount to a bitter admission of defeat after Republicans have spent months accusing Obama of an unconstitutional power grab for limiting deportations for millions in the U.S. illegally.

That’s left Republicans staring down the third possibility: a shutdown of the Homeland Security Department.

It’s something most say they want to avoid, but on Thursday House

Speaker John Boehner refused to rule the possibility out, insisting instead that Senate Democrats should get the blame if it happens.

“If funding for Homeland Security lapses, Washington Democrats are gonna bear the responsibility,” the Ohio Republican said. “Senate Democrats should stop blocking debate on the House-passed bill.”

Some House conservatives go farther, arguing that a shutdown would hardly be calamitous because the large majority of department personnel would be deemed essential and report to work, though most would not get paid until after the shutdown ends.

“Look at the last shutdown — 85 to 90 percent of the personnel from DHS all came to work and they all got paid” eventually, said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz.

“As much as both sides don’t want that to happen it is always a possibility.”

Another lesson from the last shutdown, which happened in the fall of 2013 in a failed attempt to unwind Obama’s health care law: Republicans get blamed. Even while insisting Senate Democrats are the ones courting a shutdown, many Republicans acknowledge they may have a hard time selling that idea to the public given that they control both chambers of Congress.

As sign-up deadline nears, health law sees new challenge Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Thousands of people signing up for health insurance this weekend may not realize it, but their coverage under President Barack Obama’s law could be short-lived.

The 2015 enrollment season, which ends Sunday, has avoided last year’s website meltdown so far.

But a Supreme Court case could result in millions of consumers losing financial assistance for their premiums later in the year.

The Affordable Care Act still sits on shifting political sands.

“This would be devastating,” said Nita Carter, who oversees statewide enrollment efforts for UHCAN Ohio, a health care advocacy group.

“Without the subsidy, health insurance will be unaffordable for many.

If it is unaffordable, then it is not accessible.”

The Supreme Court case, called King v. Burwell, is the talk of Washington policy experts.

But a recent Kaiser Family Foundation survey found that more than half of Americans have heard “nothing at all” about it and another 30 percent “only a little.”

The health care law offers subsidized private coverage to people who don’t have access to it on the job.

However, “Obamacare” opponents who brought the lawsuit argue that the law’s literal wording allows the federal government to pay those subsidies only in states that have set up their own insurance markets, or exchanges.

Most haven’t.

The administration and Democratic lawmakers who wrote the law say Congress’ clear

intent was to provide subsidies to people in every state.

No one knows how the court will rule. But if the plaintiffs succeed, beneficiaries living in the 37 states where the federal government is running the markets would lose their subsidies.

Two independent estimates say about 8 million people would drop coverage in a chain reaction that would also send premiums zooming for self-pay customers buying individual policies outside of the exchanges. Self-pay and subsidized consumers are in the same insurance pool.

Without the subsidies, the healthiest might bail out.

After renewing his coverage this week in Austin, Texas, oil worker Nassir Al Sawafi was unaware that the health care law was facing another major challenge.

North Carolina’s prosecutions of hate crimes rare, hard to prove Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Relatives of the three Muslim college students killed in North Carolina are pressing for hate crime charges against the alleged shooter, but legal experts say such cases are relatively rare and can be difficult to prove.

Police in Chapel Hill say they have yet to uncover any evidence that Craig Stephen Hicks acted out of religious animus, though they are investigating the possibility. As a potential motive, they cited a longtime dispute over parking spaces at the condo community where Hicks and the victims lived.

Hicks, 46, is charged with three counts of firstdegree murder in the deaths of Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23; his wife, Yusor Mohammad AbuSalha, 21; and her sister, Razan Mohammad AbuSalha, 19.

years and had one daughter, Conchita Carlene. In 1952, Chris married Marshall H. Glisson. They were married for 48 years and had one son, Thomas Michael Glisson, a longtime resident of Corinth who now resides in Glisson Michie, Tenn.

A loving Christian wife and mother, Chris worked as office manager for over 60 years at Conley Brothers Building Supply Company in Corinth. For many years, she was a member of the First Pentecostal Church of Corinth where she sang in a girl’s quartet and travelled around the region performing and ministering.

Later in life she joined Corinth Christian Assembly of God where she was an active member until moving to Oklahoma. At Christian Assembly, she sang in the choir and taught a high school girls Sunday School class for many years.

She and her husband Marshall lived a devoted Christian life and set an exemplary example for family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Marshall H. Glisson in 2000 and her brother Max Rhoades in 2014.

Survivors include her son, Thomas Michael Glisson and wife Jeanine Tucker Glisson of Michie, Tenn.; daughter Conchita Carlene Barnes Hansford and husband James (Jim) Irvin Hansford of Shawnee, Okla.; grandchildren Candace Hansford Francis and husband Travis of Montgomery, Texas, and Tamara Hansford Hamilton and husband John of Lubbock, Texas; great-grandchildren Channing and Clark Hamilton, and Lauren Francis; sister-in-law Joella Rhoades, niece Sheila Rhoades Ray and nephew Jerry Max Rhoades of Saltillo; and many other family members and loving friends.

Chris will be laid to rest in the family burial plot at Henry Cemetery in Corinth.

The FBI is now conducting a “parallel preliminary inquiry” to determine whether any federal laws, including hate crime laws, were violated in the case.

Search warrants filed in a court Friday showed Hicks listed a dozen firearms taken from his condo unit. The warrants list four handguns recovered from the home where he lived with his wife, in addition to a pistol the suspect had with him when he turned himself in after the shootings. Warrants also listed two shotguns and six rifles, including a military-style AR-15 carbine, and a large cache of ammunition.

The case spurred international outrage.

A press release Saturday from the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the world’s largest bloc of Muslim countries, says the group’s leader thanks the Ameri-

can people for “rejecting the murder which bear the symptoms of a hate crime.” Secretary General Iyad Madani also says the slaying of the students has heightened international concerns about “rising anti-Muslim sentiments and Islamophobic acts” in the United States.

“No one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship,” President Barack Obama said Friday in Washington. And in New York, spokesman Stephane Dujarric said United Nations SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon was “deeply moved” by the thousands attending the victims’ funeral this past week.

Jordan’s Embassy in Washington said its ambassador visited the families Friday. Yusor AbuSalha was born in Jordan, as where her parents. The sister was born in the U.S. Family members say all three were shot in the head, though police aren’t saying exactly how the victims died.

BY STEVE ROTHWELL AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Harvard is top of the IPO class for 2014.

The Ivy League school is the alma mater for seven chief executives who led their companies’ IPOs last year. That’s more than twice the amount of the next highest schools in the rankings, according to figures from Equilar, an executive compensation data firm.

Harvard’s performance wasn’t a fluke. The Cambridge, Massachusetts, school has led the rankings for at least the last three years, according to Equilar.

Tied for second place last year were Columbia University, Stanford University, Texas Tech University and University of North Carolina. Each school produced three CEOs who took their companies public.

The seven newly publicly traded companies led

by Harvard alumni range from online bank Ally Financial to pharmaceutical company Kite Pharma.

The group notched an average gain of 74 percent from the date of their market debut to the end of the year. By comparison, the FTSE Renaissance US IPO index, which tracks the performance of U.S. initial public offerings, gained 9.6 percent last year.

The average gain of the companies led by Harvard-schooled CEOs was also better than that of other schools. The IPOs led by former University of North Carolina students rose an average of 39 percent. Stanford graduates posted an average gain of 37 percent.

Texas Tech University graduates saw an average increase of nearly 7 percent, while IPOs led

by Columbia alumni had an average loss of almost 3 percent.

The Harvard executives are following one of the school’s most famous students. Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, studied computer science at the school from September 2002 to May 2004 before leaving to focus on the social networking company. Facebook raised about $16 billion in its market debut in 2012.

Among the Harvard graduates who oversaw IPOs in 2014, two earned undergraduate degrees, one completed a residency at Harvard Medical School, while four earned graduate degrees, including two who studied at Harvard Business School.

Thomas Eisenmann, a professor at the business school, says that the program has been placing an emphasis on entrepreneurship for at least a

decade. “It’s a very strong focus for us,� he said, noting that almost half of the school’s alumni have started at least one company.

Kent Bennett, a partner at venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners, started at Harvard Business School in 2006 and says the school had not yet launched a lot of the formal entrepreneurship programs that now exist.

Still, he said, a lot of students wanted to start their own companies, and stories about others who attended Harvard and made names for themselves were motivating. “It really helps when they’re exposed to great role models,� he said. “Maybe it’s just the vision of Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg late at night ...That inspired them to think (they) could start a business.�

Gem show brings community to Arizona

BY ASTRID GALVAN Associated Press

TUCSON, Ariz. — Fabiano Vasconcelos came to Tucson from Brazil with a $35,000 emerald cluster and thousands of other pieces, including quartz and crystals.

Vasconcelos is taking part in a gem and mineral show that draws people from around the world and transforms Tucson for three weeks.

Vendors, importers and collectors set up shop in

hotel rooms and parking lots across the city. They convert their hotel beds into displays of rare geological finds as shoppers and visitors weave in and out of rooms and walk past of rows of products that line hallways.

Larger vendors set up white tents in parking lots with countless tables displaying everything from fossils worth thousands to small rocks that cost $20. More than 40 shows comprise the event that

is anchored by one main gathering that takes place this weekend. “It’s the biggest, and I think the most popular, show for minerals and fossils,� said Vasconcelos, who travels to similar shows across the globe but favors the Tucson event.

Deidra Wilson, a sales woman for New Era Gems, from Grass Valley, California, said the company has been selling at the show for nearly four decades.

New Era Gems specializes in tanzanite, a blue and violet gem that is extremely rare and only is found in one mine in the world, in Tanzania. Ranging in sizes and color, the tanzanite pieces were under a glass display at the store’s hotel room, surrounded by mineral specimens, crystals, carvings and precious and semiprecious stones.

The event started in a garage 61 years ago as an event for local mineral, gem and fossil enthusiasts and has since grown into the world’s largest show. The event at the Tucson Convention Center each February usually has one lavish and alluring attraction.

One year, it was a large, multi-million-dollar, uncut diamond that drew spectators and security

galore. Other events featured the Hope Diamond and rocks collected from the surface of the moon.

Last year, the Post Diamond Tiara, made of more than 1,000 diamonds in the 19th century, was on display.

This year, the mainstay will be an art deco bracelet on loan from the Smithsonian Institute.

The bracelet has 626 diamonds, 73 emeralds, 48 sapphires, 20 rubies and four citrines and is embellished with figures of a hunter on horseback and another hunting a lion. “Anyone that’s interested in Earth and the evolution of man, and of Earth, itself, would just be amazed at what comes out of there,� said Diane Braswell, president of the Tucson Gem and Mineral Society, which founded and organizes the event.

Sandy Journey Ziemer was watching in amusement as two friends played with a handmade frame that makes special shapes out of sand. She said she regularly makes the pilgrimage from the Seattle area to Tucson to visit family and the show. “It’s just an unending variety of vendors from all over the world,� she said. “It’s a truly international event.�

Wife’s cellphone availability annoys frustrated husband DEAR ABBY: My husband has many wonderful qualities.

However, he’s obsessed with my always being instantly available when he calls or texts my cellphone.

I don’t carry it with me every minute of the day. At work I can be busy taking orders, dealing with clients, having a conference with my boss or using the restroom.

But if I don’t answer, my husband Abigail leaves nasty Van Buren m e s s a g e s asking why I have a Dear Abby phone if I’m not going to pick up or respond to a text. I always do it as soon as I am able.

I have explained the reality of what I might be involved with when he contacts me. I have told him his demand that I always be immediately available is selfish, to no avail. What’s your opinion? -- EXASPERATED IN ERIE DEAR EXASPERATED: My opinion is you should ignore your husband’s nasty comments because he’s acting like an immature, demanding child who needs to grow up and realize the world doesn’t revolve

around him.

DEAR ABBY: My husband has a grandson, “Kyle,” who has been living with us for two years while he earned his bachelor’s degree in college. However, he is now going for a master’s, and it will be another two years before he graduates.

Kyle works a lot and takes classes, so he is not at our home that much. However, at age 25, it seems to me he should be out on his own.

Some of Kyle’s uncles are upset that my husband has allowed this to go on so long because their kids never got the same treatment. But Kyle doesn’t get the support from his parents that he should, and my husband feels sorry for him.

Am I selfish for feeling that my space has been invaded for too long? -- PUT UPON IN TEXAS DEAR PUT UPON: That you and your husband have chosen to be generous with Kyle should be nobody else’s business. For the reason you mentioned, Kyle needed a break. Your husband stepped in and has seen that he got one.

If Kyle were constantly underfoot, I could understand why you might justifiably feel “invaded.” However, because he isn’t, then yes, I do think your attitude is selfish.

DEAR ABBY: Once again I have found that one random act of kindness begets another.

Today, I had a hankering for one of those great salads from my favorite fast food chain. It was noon, and the line from the main highway to get into the driveway was long.

When I finally was able to turn in to the ordering section, I noticed a man in his work truck trying to get into the line.

We were face-to-face. I looked back, saw all the cars behind me and knew none of them were going to let him in, so I motioned for him to go ahead of me.

When I reached the window and started to pay for my order, the cashier said, “You are already paid for.” I said, “What?”

The man in front of me had paid for my order.

The message? Be kind -- it’s good karma. -- LINDA IN ORANGE, CALIF. DEAR LINDA: I agree. Like a stone thrown into a pond, a good deed can create ripples that extend far beyond the initial splash.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.

DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Someone is holding on to something of yours and is not aware that you long ago moved past that era and currently have no use for the thing in your world.

Compassion, gratitude and good manners will be appreciated.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Maybe you don’t have to try hard. Before you go making a “thing” of it, consider that casual situations can also be rather inviting -- no pressure, low expectations and lots of room for people to be who they really are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Those who want to be liked by everyone respond to every request for their time no matter what it does to them. Name your terms of service, and then let others respond. Don’t be overly concerned with being liked.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ve relied on others to show you the ropes, and now you are quite ready to try it on your own.

You may fear breaking out solo, but the fear will go away quickly,

and your only regret will be that you didn’t break out sooner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

There’s a revolution going on inside you. This is why you have less of an interest in external sources of entertainment. The changes are happening as they should. You’re adjusting perfectly. Trust your natural process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There are those close to you who would rather not face uncomfortable truths. Sensing where the sore spots are, you’ll tread lightly around those areas.

Why get into it?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know bunk when you hear it.

You don’t have to call it out loud (and potentially hurt feelings), but you internally say, “That’s not for me” -- and save yourself a lot of hassle in the process.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

People you haven’t contacted in a long while will reach out to you -- beautiful. It will help you see your life in the long view, which is a pretty interesting perspective, wouldn’t you say?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your father. That’s where the day focuses. The things your dad did to influence you will be glaringly apparent, for better and for worse. For optimum results, see the “for better” part of it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It wouldn’t hurt you to be a little less available to phone calls, emails and people wanting your attention in general.

The thing that needs tending has to do with your inner dialogue.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Words, once they are printed, are more real than they were before. Therefore, if you want to make something real, print it out. Also, if you don’t want to make something real, don’t write it down.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Bottom line: You have to recognize the opportunity when it’s presented and take it. This is happening today. The rules are simple: Think about what’s right, pay attention, and act.

No. 1 Kentucky throttles South Carolina

BY GARY B. GRAVES AP Sports Writer

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Topranked Kentucky matched the best start in the program’s storied history, improving to 25-0 on Saturday when Willie Cauley-Stein scored 14 points and Aaron Harrison added 11 in a 77-43 rout of South Carolina.

The 1953-54 Wildcats finished the regular season at 25-0 with a team that featured future Naismith Hall of Famers Cliff Hagan and Frank Ramsey, then declined an NCAA tournament bid. A year earlier, Kentucky had been under suspension by the NCAA and canceled its season. This year’s Wildcats

are trying to win the school’s ninth national championship. They took another step toward their quest for perfection by completing a season sweep of the overmatched Gamecocks (12-12, 3-9 Southeastern Conference). After holding South Carolina to 27 percent shooting in last month’s meeting, Kentucky limited the Gamecocks to just 13 of 55 from the field (24 percent) this time.

The Wildcats (12-0 SEC) needed less than 12 minutes to build a 20-point lead. Dakari Johnson added 13 rebounds and 10 points for Kentucky, which shot 50 percent.

Sindarius Thornwell scored

a game-high 20 points for the Gamecocks, who were outrebounded 45-21 and beaten in just about every statistical category except steals (3-2).

The dominant performance was just what Kentucky coach John Calipari wanted from his talented squad after Tuesday night’s escape at LSU. On Friday, he voiced his distaste for close wins and challenged the Wildcats to show a “killer instinct” with the postseason just around the corner.

Kentucky players got the message and responded with a strong start that put South Carolina in a hole that steadily deepened. The Wildcats led 26-6 with 8:21 left in the first half and never eased off

Young, Braves reach deal ATLANTA (AP) — Free agent outfielder Eric Young Jr. and the Atlanta Braves have reached agreement on a minor league deal.

The Braves announced the contract Friday.

It includes an invitation to spring training. The 29-year-old Young led the National League with 46 stolen bases in 2013 for Colorado and the New York Mets.

He stole 30 last year with the Mets while batting .229 in 100 games.

Young is a career .252 hitter since making his big league debut in 2009 with the Rockies.

Atlanta traded outfielders Justin Upton and Jason Heyward in the offseason.

The Braves also said minor league hitting coordinator Ronnie Ortegano had resigned for personal reasons.

Johnson will be free agent as Jets decline option

BY DENNIS WASZAK JR. AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — The New York Jets are saying C-Ya to CJ2K after just one season.

The Jets announced Saturday they will not exercise their option on running back Chris Johnson, making him an unrestricted free agent next month and saving the team $3.5 million on the salary cap this year.

The team will, however, exercise the contract options on veteran linebackers Calvin

Pace and Jason Babin.

New York had until Monday to make a decision on Johnson, who was due a $500,000 option bonus that would have kicked in if he remained on the roster past that date.

Johnson was scheduled to make a base salary of $3.5 million, with a salary cap hit of about $5.25 million. He will now cost only around $1.75 million against the cap. Johnson will be free to sign with any team when the NFL’s free agency period be-

gins on March 10.

The Jets will also likely be in the market for a running back during that time or in the draft. Chris Ivory and Daryl Richardson are the only other Jets running backs under contract for next season; Bilal Powell is scheduled to become a free agent.

The 29-year-old Johnson was signed to a two-year, $8 million deal by the Jets last April after six years with Tennessee to provide a versatile presence in the backfield.

But, he was coming off offseason knee surgery and had his worst statistical season while splitting time with Ivory in then-offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg’s system.

Johnson, who will be 30 in September, ran for 663 yards — his first season under 1,000 — and one touchdown, while catching a career-low 24 passes for 151 yards and a score. Johnson’s 4.3 average per carry was respectable, but Please see JOHNSON | 11A

Oubre, Ellis lead No. 8 Kansas past No. 16 Baylor 74-64

BY DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Bill Self never has to worry about Perry Ellis speaking out of turn.

Even now, midway through his junior season, the Kansas forward rarely strings together more than a few words at a time. He talks in short, clipped sentences. He deflects attention, even when he has just joined the 1,000-point

club at a school drenched in basketball tradition.

So after pouring in 18 points to reach the scoring milestone Saturday, and helping the eighth-ranked Jayhawks to a 74-64 victory over No. 16 Baylor, it was no surprise that Ellis didn’t have a whole lot to offer eager reporters or in front of television cameras.

“It’s a great accomplishment,” he said simply. “I’m just blessed.”

Leave it to Self to lavish the praise.

“I’ve coached him for three years and he leaves me wanting more, but I haven’t thought that of late,” Self said.

“I think he’s playing closer to his ceiling now than he has.”

Ellis had plenty of help on Saturday. Kelly Oubre also had 18 points and Wayne Selden Jr. had 15, helping the Jayhawks (21-4, 10-2 Big 12) dig out of a 13-point first-half

hole.

The win was their 21st straight at Allen Fieldhouse, and ensured the 10-time champs would have no worse than a two-game lead in the conference race with six games to go.

“You don’t get easies (against them),” Baylor coach Scott Drew said. “You have to beat them.”

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart gets flagged for weighty issue

BY MARK LONG AP Sports Writer

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Tony Stewart opened Speedweeks with a weighty — and heated — issue.

Stewart was visibly upset Friday as he stormed through the garage after getting black flagged for failing to step on a scale before getting behind the wheel.

Stewart was one of 25 drivers practicing for Saturday night’s exhibition Sprint Un-

limited, but one of just three who didn’t weigh in before the session started. Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch also had to return to the scale after getting in their cars.

Stewart didn’t heed the initial call.

NASCAR eventually flagged Stewart, ordering him back to the garage to get weighed. But he refused, and when he did finally park his car after his practice run ended, Stewart

and crew chief Chad Johnston were called to the NASCAR hauler for what likely was a stern lecture about following the rules.

They emerged 10 minutes later, and Stewart headed straight for the scale.

Stewart refused to answer questions about what happened on the track and in the hauler, but was overheard telling teammate Kevin Harvick’s crew that he was called in because he didn’t weigh in

and didn’t heed the black flag.

Each driver is required to step on the scale so the minimum car weights can be calculated. Heavier drivers, like Stewart, can have slightly lighter cars.

Stewart’s spotter, Bob Jeffrey, weighed in on Twitter, posting “In my 35+yrs that was a 1st.”

Stewart’s chaos was the highlight of the day. Some Please see STEWART | 11A

that he was “at a loss for words” at the selection and thanked Kentucky, Memphis and UMass for the coaching opportunities. The 2015 class will be announced on April 6 in Indianapolis.

Welcome back Former Wildcats Julius Randle and James Young, both first-round NBA draft picks last summer, attended the game with the league off for the all-star break.

Tip-ins South Carolina: One

of the Gamecocks’ few highlights was Tyrone Johnson’s behind-theback pass to Demetrius Henry for a 3-pointer, just their second basket through nearly nine minutes. Kentucky: Forward Trey Lyles made his first start since Jan. 24 against the Gamecocks and had eight points and four rebounds in 21 minutes. ... The Wildcats improved to 25-3 over the Gamecocks in Lexington and 49-11 overall.

Up next South Carolina: Visits Georgia on Tuesday.

Kentucky: Visits Tennessee on Tuesday.

JOHNSON CONTINUED FROM 10A

he hardly looked like the guy who ran for 2,006 yards in 2009, earning him his CJ2K nickname.

Known for his blistering speed and ability to break off long plays at any moment in a game, Johnson ran for 100 yards just once — when he had 105 on 17 carries, including a 47-yard scamper, against Miami last December.

He also didn’t get as many touches as he had been used to with the Titans, eclipsing 15 carries in a game just twice.

Ivory led the Jets with 821 yards on 198 carries as New York finished third in the NFL in overall rushing while Mornhinweg used a committee approach.

While it likely didn’t play a major role in the Jets’ decision, Johnson also was arrested in Orlando, Florida, in January on a misdemeanor weapons charge. Orlando police said Johnson was pulled over after he

ran a stop sign on Jan. 9. When an officer approached Johnson’s vehicle, he said he saw a firearm between Johnson’s feet. Openly carrying a gun is generally banned in Florida.

Johnson has rushed for 8,628 yards and 51 touchdowns in his NFL career after being a firstround pick out of East Carolina in 2008.

Both Pace and Babin are 34, so they are no locks to make the Jets’ roster next season.

But the team exercised their $250,000 options on each of the linebackers, who could provide veteran leadership on new coach Todd Bowles’ defense.

Pace, who has been with the Jets since 2008, started every game last season for the fourth straight year.

He had five sacks, giving him 43 since joining the Jets.

Pace also had four tackles for loss and three passes defensed last season.

KANSAS CONTINUED FROM 10A

Kansas was clinging to a 57-55 lead after the Bears’ Rico Gathers made two foul shots with about 6 minutes left. But Ellis scored a couple of baskets around a midrange jumper from Landen Lucas, who had nine points off the bench, and the Jayhawks began to pull away.

Oubre’s 3 from the top of the key, his fourth of the game, made it 67-59 with 1:59 left.

Gathers led the Bears (18-7, 6-6) with 18 points and eight rebounds, despite playing with four fouls late in the game.

Kenny Chery followed his 25-point performance in the teams’ first meeting in Waco with

17 points, and Taurean Prince had 14 points off the bench.

Despite their long losing streak in Lawrence, the Bears looked unperturbed early on by the roaring sellout crowd stuffed inside the Jayhawks’ old barn. They launched an 18-6 run to open the game, beat Kansas to every loose ball and at one point had a 12-2 edge on the glass.

The Jayhawks finally hit their stride from behind the arc, hitting three straight 3s — perhaps to the chagrin of Bill Self, who called a period of hot outside shooting by his team “fools gold” after a recent victory. Baylor’s lead had been trimmed to 33-27 by halftime.

ATHENS, Ga. — K.T. Harrell scored 21 points to rally Auburn to a 69-68 victory at Georgia on Saturday.

After Auburn (12-13, 4-8 Southeastern Conference) fell behind by nine points with 5:17 to play, the Tigers got hot. When Harrell’s 3-pointer with 56 seconds to go put Auburn ahead for good, 6563, it was the fifth straight make by the Tigers.

Georgia (16-8, 7-5 SEC) had a chance to win at the buzzer. Kenny Gaines hit a 3-pointer with 1.8 seconds to go, but Auburn needed only to get the ball inbounds to win.

However, the Tigers threw it out of bounds on the other end of the floor without anybody touching the ball.

The Bulldogs’ Nemanja Djurisic had a chance to win with a shot from the

other things to know about what’s going on at Daytona International Speedway leading into the season-opening Daytona 500: Blind draw: The starting order for the Sprint Unlimited was set by blind draw Friday, and Paul Menard landed the pole. Kasey Kahne will start second, followed by Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch. Defending Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick will start eighth, ahead of defending race winner Denny Hamlin (ninth), Jeff Gordon (11th), Danica Patrick (15th), Jimmie Johnson (17th), Tony Stewart (22nd) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (24th).

ARCA preiew: Frank Kimmel may not be the

oldest driver to beat in Saturday’s ARCA race.

But asked who was the driver to beat, Kimmel was blunt: “This is the best shot I’ve ever had,” the 52-year-old Kimmel said. “This car is exceptional.” Kimmel starts eighth in the first race of Speedweeks. Pole winner Mark Thompson has Kimmel beat by seven spots — and 11 years.

The 63-year-old Thompson became the oldest pole winner in any series at Daytona. He turned a lap of 187.336 mph to win his first pole in 17 years. Thompson won three other poles, all at Michigan International Speedway, two in 1996 and one in 1997.

He passed Vern Slagh to become the oldest ARCA Series pole winner at Daytona.

corner, but came up short.

Gaines led the Bulldogs with 18 points, and Charles Mann added 14.

Auburn got 17 points from K.C. Ross-Miller.

Both teams struggled offensively in the first half.

The Bulldogs missed five layups in the first four minutes as Auburn took an early 7-2 lead. Halfway through the first half, Georgia had made just two of 11 field-goal attempts.

Auburn’s biggest lead came with 14:09 left in the half when Harrell hit a jumper from inside the paint to make it 12-4.

The Bulldogs finally tied the score at 22-all at 3:01 when Cameron Forte hit two free throws. When Georgia’s Taylor Echols, a former walk-on, hit a 3-pointer with 44 seconds in the half, the Bulldogs had a chance to lead at intermission.

But Auburn’s Harrell hit a jumper as the buzzer

sounded to make it 29-28 at the half.

In the second half, Georgia trailed 42-39 with 11:38 to play after Auburn’s Harrell scored from the baseline. But over the next 2½ minutes, the Bulldogs went on a 9-0 run, ignited by Gaines.

First, he hit a pair of free throws. On Georgia’s next possession, he hit a putback following three misses by his teammates. The capacity crowd of 10,523 came to its feet when he fielded an alley-oop pass from Marcus Thornton, turned 180 degrees and banked it in.

Forte punctuated the run with an interception at midcourt leading to a breakaway slam and follow-up free throw. That made it 48-42 with 9:05 to play.

Georgia’s biggest lead came after a Thornton 3-point play with 5:17 to play made it 57-48.

But Auburn chipped away. In the last three minutes, Harrell hit two 3-pointers, a layup and one free throw.

Tip-ins Auburn: K.T. Harrell needs 12 points to score 1,000 points at Auburn.

Counting his points at Virginia before he transferred, he already has 1,000 points in his college career.

Georgia: Shooting 68 percent from the line as a team coming into the game, the Bulldogs hit 18 of 21 free throws Saturday.

Up next Auburn: The Tigers are hosts to Alabama on Tuesday.

Georgia: The Bulldogs are hosts Tuesday to South Carolina, one of four SEC teams to beat Georgia this year.

— Denzel Valentine’s game-winning 3-pointer felt almost scripted, it being Feb. 14 and all.

That’s not why Michigan State gave him the ball, of course. Valentine was his team’s top perimeter threat all day, and with time running out in yet another tight game, the Spartans were more than happy to see the junior setting up for an open shot from beyond the arc.

“Most of the time he’s taking the shot, and it’s not up for debate anymore,” coach Tom Izzo said. “He’s got the size and he’s got the skill.”

Valentine’s shot with 3.2 seconds remaining gave Michigan State a 59-56 victory over No. 23 Ohio State on Saturday, lifting the Spartans to a significant win as they try to secure an NCAA tournament berth. Sam Thompson had made a 3-pointer of his own for the Buck-

eyes, tying the game with 36 seconds left, but Michigan State patiently ran the clock down, and Valentine had room to shoot from to the right of the top of the key.

“I was ready to hit the shot,” Valentine said. “I didn’t want to go into another overtime.”

Michigan State has gone to overtime five times this season, losing three of those games.

The Buckeyes (19-7, 8-5 Big Ten) rallied from a nine-point halftime deficit, and even after Valentine’s big shot, Ohio State had a chance to send the game to overtime, but the Buckeyes lost the ball on the ensuing inbound pass.

Valentine finished with 17 points, going 5 of 9 from beyond the arc. Branden Dawson had 15 points and 11 rebounds for Michigan State.

“Give Valentine credit — that was an incredible shot,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. “I thought we had them right

where we wanted them in terms of how the action developed.”

Shannon Scott scored 15 points for the Buckeyes.

Thompson, D’Angelo Russell and Jae’Sean Tate added 10 apiece.

Freshman Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn played 36 minutes for Michigan State, scoring seven points with five rebounds and four assists — including the pass to set up Valentine’s winning shot. The Spartans went on a 15-2 run to close the first half, with Dawson punctuating that impressive stretch with a dunk off a pass from Travis Trice.

It was 33-24 at halftime. The Buckeyes began closing the gap in earnest toward the middle of the second half, tying it at 46 on a dunk by Thompson and taking a 49-47 lead on a jumper by Scott with 5:22 remaining.

Valentine’s 3-pointer with 4:00 to play put the Spartans up by one, and a layup by Trice with 1:16

left gave Michigan State a 56-53 lead. Tate missed a 3 at the other end, but the Spartans couldn’t secure the rebound. Thompson tied it with his first 3-pointer of the game.

Michigan State beat a Top 25 team for the first time in five tries this season. The Spartans lost by five to Kansas and in double overtime to Maryland, but this victory will certainly help their resume.

“I’m not going to beg for an NCAA bid,” Izzo said.

“I’m going to let our team do its talking.”

Foul showing Neither team was called for a foul until there was 8:06 remaining in the first half — an odd start for a big game between two rivals. Maybe it was for the best that nobody went to shoot free throws for a while.

Ohio State finished 5 of 13 from the line and Michigan State wasn’t much better at 4 of 7.

Biggersville High School Beauty Review winners The winners of the Biggersville High School Beauty Review are: fourth alternate, Kimberly Michael, senior; second alternate, Savannah Davis, senior; Most Beautiful Blaklie Mitchell, Junior; first alternate Savannah Gray, senior; third alternate Shelbie Rider, junior.

Dinner is served... up in the trees I looked into Judith’s kitchen sink and felt my eyebrows rise.

A pale brown, grainy concoction, thick and sticky, filled a mixing bowl and stuck like gluck between the beater blades. It was as beautiful as barf.

Judith grinned apologetically. She said, “Ben and Gus call it glip’n’glop.”

Her grandsons eyeball gallons’ worth of glip’n’glop because Judith has a tender heart.

Winter worries her a lot. How miserable these months are for our fellow critters, especially the ones with no burrow to nestle into, nor furry undercoats.

Step out of your warm house into cold and unrelenting rain, ground sodden, skies heavy, no relief in sight. The birds are clinging to branches, huddled over their bony feet, heads tucked low. Every feather is fluffed out,

trying to hold in as much body heat as possible.

Those little guys are hungry, too.

Pickings are slim. They look Ryland as cute as puffBruhwiler balls, but they’re a far cry from Columnist happy. Many do not make it till Spring rolls around again.

So there’s Judith, faithfully mixing up batch after batch of glip’n’glop for her backyard birds. Squirrels also love it, which is just fine with my kind friend. The only birds she’s noticed that don’t chow down are cardinals. They’re beautiful, and that flash of red on a dreary winter’s day does raise one’s heart. But according to Judith, they are too cautious. Or too

stupid. They’ll sit on a limb looking on, bopping their peabrained heads from side to side.

The recipe she uses is recommended by the Audubon Society: *1 part peanut butter *1 part lard *1 part flour *3 parts cornmeal Can’t get much simpler than that.

For most folks, “one part” equals one cup. Judith doubles or triples that when she makes a batch. She buys the biggest, cheapest jars of peanut butter she can find, preferably crunchy, but no big deal. The lard she buys by the tub in the baking section at Kroger. And if she has leftover nuts, sunflower seeds, stale raisins, apricots, that sort of thing, she’ll toss them in.

Get all the ingredients laid out, she says, or you’ll be up to your elbows in peanut butter and realize you need to go digging through a cupboard.

I haven’t yet made a batch, but I’m planning to microwave the peanut butter and the lard till they’re softened, almost soupy, give them a stir, then add the cornmeal and flour. Probably have to do most of that last step by hand using my ancient but indestructible potato masher.

Judith has a heavy-duty electric mixer. I have a puny, $12 electric cheapo that can hardly beat up brownies, much less tackle glip’n’glop without whining, clogging up, and conking out.

The stuff will last for weeks at room temp, so it’s no trouble to store. I’ll keep mine in an ice cream bucket.

Now to get it to the birds.

If you don’t own an official suet holder (shaped like a small wire box), Judith says to scoop a gob onto a flat surface (board, plastic plate, whatever) and set it up high. I’m planning to make a very basic “platform” by tying a board to a branch with a couple pieces of baling wire.

I’ve also read that you can smear the glop between the “petals” of large pine cones and hang them in the trees. That might be more trouble than it’s worth, but I like the fact that there’s no cleanup later on.

And it’d be fun watching chickadees swinging from the pine cones, upside-down-andsideways.

Pig excels Railroad museums on track for tourism boost The state’s in agility railroad history as a whole is class for laid out in 520 feet of model pooches track at the

BY CLAY CHANDLER The Clarion-Ledger

Associated Press

KENT, Wash. — One student in a suburban Seattle dog agility class is drawing a lot of attention, and not just for her athletic skills. Amy is a pig.

Amid the barking of corgis, collies and Labradors, visitors will sometimes hear a snort. And there’s Amy, jumping through the hoop, balancing on the teeter-totter, retrieving the dumbbell and zipping through the play tunnel.

Lori Stock owns 5-month-old Amy and says her indoor pig is a quick learner and very motivated by food rewards.

KOMO reports that Amy has already graduated from puppy manners class and has moved on to agility and obedience at the Family Dog Training Center in Kent.

Training center president Kathy Lang says that’s a first, though she recalls a pygmy goat did attend several training classes.

Amy has already graduated from puppy manners class.

JACKSON, Miss. — Lisa Miller was showing a couple from Boston around Cleveland’s Martin and Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum when she asked them what brought them to town.

“And they said they’d had trouble with their ‘caaaahhhh,’ and they were waiting to get it fixed,” Miller said. “I couldn’t figure out what they were saying, so I kept asking until it finally dawned on me that they were talking about their car.”

That kind of language barrier is something Miller hopes becomes commonplace. If it does, it would signal the museum she’s directed since it opened a couple of years ago has become a staple on the Delta tourism trail packed with national and international travelers.

Miller believes most of those people want to delve into the region’s history.

“Without the railroad, that history doesn’t exist,” she said.

Every town, community and outpost on highways 1 and 61 are there because of the railroad that started to appear in the late 1800s, Miller said. Without the railroad, there would be no Cleveland, Rosedale, Shelby, Alligator or Duncan. Clarksdale and Greenville would look a lot different, too, she said.

“Highway 61, the Blues Highway, follows the old

railroad,” Miller said.

“That’s not a coincidence.

The railroad was here first.”

That kind of historycome-alive cannot be found anywhere else, Miller said, which should make the King Museum and others like it a bigger part of the state’s tourism push.

That could happen.

Mississippi’s $6 billion budget includes $3 million to market the state’s tourism amenities.

Gov. Phil Bryant has proposed nearly tripling that number for the fiscal year that starts July 1.

Bryant said when he unveiled his executive budget recommendation late last year that the $5.1 million in additional tourism promotion money would level the playing field between Mississippi and its neighboring states.

It’s part of an overall effort to grow tourism in the state, an industry the Mississippi Development Authority says supports 83,000 direct jobs and $400 million in annual tax revenue.

Part of Bryant’s proposed increase would fund grants to local tourism agencies which are most responsible for spreading the word about places like the King Museum. The King Museum operates on a $150,000 budget funded by the city, plus whatever donations visitors, who pay no admission, give.

The King Museum captures all the railroad histo-

Mississippi Agriculture Museum’s train exhibit. ry, from artifacts to documents to a working model railroad display that has 900 feet of track and is the largest O gauge layout in Mississippi, “probably the largest in the Southeast,” Miller said. “I don’t know of one that’s bigger.”

The display features a working replica of a freight engine called the “City of Cleveland” Illinois Central ran during the middle part of the 20th century. The exhibit’s 40 model engines pass by the old Chief Drive-In Movie theater, since closed, and Po’ Monkey’s Lounge, one of the Delta’s last original juke joints where you can still get a cold beer and hear authentic Delta blues.

If it happened in the Delta between 1940 and 1960 — the era the display targets — it’s either a part of the museum or Miller wants it to be.

The McComb Railroad Museum operates on similar donations and on the money raised by an annual Friends of the Museum membership drive.

It even shared space with the Pike County Chamber of Commerce until last year, when the chamber relocated, said Winnie Howell, the railroad museum’s volunteer director.

Like Cleveland, McComb does not exist without the railroad, Howell said. The town got its name from Col. H.S. McComb, president of the old Jackson, New Orleans and Great Northern Railroad.

The museum’s outdoors exhibit includes one of two Illinois Central mountain-steam locomotives ever built, and the only aluminum refrigerator car the company built, Howell said. The exhibit also includes a 1966 cupola-type caboose, an 1883 office car, a rare 1914 Railway Post Office Car and a wrecking derrick.

“At the present time, volunteers are cataloguing artifacts and collectibles donated to us from a lady in Terry, Mississippi,” Howell said.

Those are artifacts from south Mississippi’s history that can’t be found anywhere else, Howell said, echoing Miller’s assertion about the King Museum and its Delta history display.

A renovation that will expand space and include a seating area for visitors is under way, paid for by McComb’s Rotary Club, Howell said. A grant from the Mississippi Department of Transportation will pay for a canopy over the train exhibit outside,

she said.

The state’s railroad history as a whole is laid out in 520 feet of model track at the Mississippi Agriculture Museum’s train exhibit.

It depicts railroading in the 1960s and ‘70s, when diesel engines started to replace steam locomotives. There’s a replica of the old Avery Loop, a privately owned railroad Illinois Central operated that serves industries in Jackson, Flowood and Pearl.

The rest offers displays of old logging camps, rural towns, an urban area, catfish ponds and production agriculture displays that feature cotton gins and saw mills.

According to spokesman Andy Prosser, the ag museum has 165,000 visitors annually, more than 10 times that of the museums in Cleveland and McComb. Aside from the space, the only thing the museum provides for the train exhibit is the electricity it takes to operate the model engines, he said. Adding exhibits and maintaining existing ones falls to two private railroad clubs.

Lee Arthur, president of the Central Mississippi Model Railroaders Association, said that task falls to that organization’s 25 volunteers and volunteers from the Red Caboose Crew.

“We’re always looking for more,” Arthur said.

“We are all pretty active and come regularly.”

Actor Eddie Murphy releases reggae single

BY BIANCA ROACH Associated Press

LONDON — Veteran actor-comedian Eddie Murphy is on a different chart these days, with his latest single rising to the top of the most downloaded reggae songs on iTunes.

Released Jan. 27, “Oh Jah Jah” was inspired by recent news events, Murphy said.

“I was watching CNN about two or three months ago and all this craziness was going on with the terrorism and chopping off people’s heads and then St. Louis, Ferguson. A bunch of police brutality going on (at the) same time and I had that pro-

gression, but I didn’t have any lyrics, but I had that groove. I’d been playing that progression for about a month and then I was watching the news and it all came together one day,” he said.

Murphy, who will appear on NBC’s “SNL 40th Anniversary Special” on Sunday, recently spoke to The Associated Press about his music, film and comedy.

AP: If you were to release a reggae album would you put it out as Eddie Murphy or would you think of a reggae name?

Murphy: I’ve got 25 years of stuff on the shelf.

I could go right now and pick six, seven, eight reggae songs and put out a reggae album. I could go back there and pick seven or eight country songs and do a country album, or I could do a regular dance/R&B album. I’ve had people say, ‘You should put a record out because it’s a good song and if they didn’t know it was you they’d like it under a different name,’ but, hey, these are my tracks and I’m not hiding behind any of it. It is what it is.

AP: Will there be an upcoming album or any collaborations?

Murphy: I have collaborations with all kinds

Cryptoquip

of different artists over the years. Stuff with B.B. King, I’ve recorded with Paul McCartney, Snoop, I’ve recorded with a bunch of different interesting artists. Raphael Saadiq.

As far as future collaborations, that all has to come together organically. As far as an album coming out, if one of these tracks jumps off, if one of them connects with the people digging it and I get some momentum going, I’ll put an album but I’m not planning an album until I’m sure people want to hear something. Otherwise it’ll stay on the shelf for years and years. A hundred years from now

AP: Any plans on returning to stand-up comedy?

Murphy: When I was doing stand-up it was a hundred comedians, now it’s a hundred thousand of them. So if I got onstage again I’d have to be doing something that makes me different from all these other hundred thousand comics. My fantasy when I think about live performances is playing with a really strong band playing a half-hour or 40 minutes of music and having the curtains go down then doing an hour of standup comedy. I’d have a really fly show if I could pull that one off.

Locusts on part of adventurous ‘Game of Thrones’ feast menu

BY JILL LAWLESS Associated Press

Crossword

they dig through everything and I’m totally fine with them finding hours and hours and hours of collaborations and they’ll say, ‘We didn’t even know Eddie Murphy.’ I’m totally fine with that.

AP: What about any upcoming film projects?

Murphy: About two weeks ago I just finished a movie, it’s not a comedy though. It’s called ‘Cook’ and it’s got a really strong director, the guy that directed ‘Driving Miss Daisy’ and ‘Tender Mercies,’ a guy named Bruce Beresford, a really strong director from Australia.

We just finished it two weeks ago.

LONDON — It takes a strong stomach to be a fan of “Game of Thrones,” a blood-soaked saga set in a brutal fantasy kingdom.

It also takes a strong imagination to design a mouth-watering menu based on the television show. Chef Jamie Hazeel has done it, and he says creating delicacies such as traitor’s tongue and smoked serpent was a challenge.

“Python is a bit of a tricky meat,” Hazeel said, deftly slicing a long piece of pinkish flesh. “So we’re using smoked eel instead.”

A temporary restaurant, punningly titled “All Men Must Dine,” opens in London Friday to mark the DVD release of season four of the HBO series.

Over three nights, fans chosen from 12,000 competition entrants will be served a 10-course meal in surroundings inspired by a council chamber at King’s Landing, capital of the program’s Seven Kingdoms.

Hazeel, co-owner of catering company The Wan-

dering Chef, is also a fan, and has let his imagination run free for a menu that draws on medieval recipes and dishes mentioned in the TV series.

“Honeyed fowl is a big thing in the show, the taste of luxury,” he said. “I wanted to recreate what I thought the taste of honeyed fowl would be.”

The result is honey and lemon-glazed quail, stuffed with apricots, almonds and sultanas, one of several dishes on the menu rich in fruits and spices. Other courses “may be slightly off-putting to a modern audience,” he admitted, including honey-fried locusts and a dish of poached calf tongue titled “the lies of Tyrion Lannister.”

The dinner invitation warned that the meal is not suitable for vegetarians. No kidding. It’s a riot of fish, flesh and fowl, including pigeon pie, a “dinosaur Scotch egg” — it’s really from an emu, and enormous — and a roast suckling pig on a pyre.

Dessert is bone-marrow creme brulee, served in a real bone dripping

with blood-red sauce.

“We wanted the food to be really theatrical,” Hazeel said.

Based on novels by George R.R. Martin, “Game of Thrones” has won a coveted mix of fan adulation and critical praise with its blend of fantasy, realpolitik, violence and sex.

A marble-clad former Masonic temple — incongruously located inside a Victorian-era London hotel — has been lit with candles and adorned with the flags of “Game of Thrones” clans Baratheon and Lannister to serve the feast.

Guests can also expect a knight, a contortionist, live music and a pair of wandering jesters singing a jaunty ditty titled “Incest is Best.”

Feasts in the “Game of Thrones” universe don’t always end well — as anyone who has seen the infamous “Red Wedding” episode can attest. But Lalie Jacout, Hazeel’s business partner, says his guests have nothing to fear.

“We have a lot of surprises in store, but they will leave safely,” she said.

Academy Awards race is all about timing — except when it’s not

BY JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

Daily Corinthian Check out the classifieds daily

NEW YORK — Timing is everything in the Oscar race. Except when it’s not.

This year’s Academy Awards field has done more than most to upend traditional rhythms of Hollywood’s awards season, a normally finelytuned red-carpet ballet.

“Not my tempo” — the indelible line from J.K. Simmons’ music instructor in the best-picture nominated “Whiplash” — has been the season’s mantra.

The critical favorite, Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood,” was the front-runner for much of the season, only to be seemingly usurped by the industry’s choice, “Birdman (or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance),” which swept the guild awards. Momentum — the most cherished, carefully sought ingredient in any Oscar campaign — has been elusive, just as the normal parameters of awards season appear to be shifting.

“Boyhood” (six nominations) and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” (nine nods) were released early in the year, long before most Oscar movies were even in the blocks. At the same time, the other end of the calendar no longer seems so safe.

Of the last three movies to debut — “Selma,” ‘‘American Sniper” and “Unbroken” — only one emerged as an awards juggernaut. The timing was perfect for Clint Eastwood’s Iraq War sensation, which was eagerly

embraced by conservative America, leading to record box office in addition to six nominations. But “Selma,” which director Ava DuVernay completed shortly before its Christmas Day release, didn’t catch on with awards the way many expected.

The reasons could be numerous, and certainly many read racism into the film’s snubbing (though it landed two Oscar nominations, including best picture). But the lesson of “Selma” in Hollywood was more straightforward: It arrived too late to sufficiently screen for the industry’s guilds or to solidly stake its place among the top contenders.

“A lot of companies, including us, should open a lot of these films a lot earlier if we can in that last quarter of the year because it becomes so freaking crowded,” says Michael Barker, co-president of Sony Pictures Classics, which this Oscar season, landed 18 nominations, its most ever. “A lot of these we couldn’t open earlier because they weren’t ready.”

Last year, Barker faced a similar choice with Bennett Miller’s “Foxcatcher,” a film originally slated to be a fall 2013 release. But with Miller needing more time to edit, SPC chose not to rush it out, instead debuting it to acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival (where Miller won best director), setting it on a path that eventually led to five Oscar nominations.

Sony Pictures Clas-

sics has had success with a handful of summer releases that were still remembered by the Academy Awards (notably Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine” and “Midnight in Paris”). But every film is different, Barker noted.

After acquiring the Alzheimer’s drama “Still Alice” at the Toronto Film Festival in September, SPC immediately slated it for a December release, seeing the strong response to Julianne Moore lead performance. Now, Moore is considered a shoo-in for best actress.

Paramount Pictures had good reason to rush “Selma.” The film was bursting with relevance, arriving while protesters were flooding the streets over the Eric Garner and Darren Wilson grand jury decisions.

The same timing that may have hurt “Selma” didn’t have the same effect on “American Sniper” partly because Eastwood’s film was finished far in advance, so it had no trouble getting screeners to guilds, many of which vote in December.

The thing is that no one wants to “peak” early. Oscar season shares much with president campaigns, where candidates fear entering the ring too soon. But being the last to jump into turbulent award season waters with a holiday release now appears risky, too.

Either way, the clock has almost run out on this year’s nominees. Oscar voting ends Tuesday.
