Auditions for Corinth Theatre-Arts’ upcoming youthstage production of “Alice and Wonderland” have been set for 6 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the Crossroads Playhouse, located at 303 Fulton Drive.

Based on the beloved 1865 novel written by English author Lewis Carroll and adapted for the stage by Anne Martens, the curtain opens to find Alice sliding into view after a long spiral down the rabbit hole. The whimsical and eccentric world she finds herself in is much more fun for audience members than it is for Alice who is desperately seeking to find her way back home.

Magnolia Regional Health Center is out to see Mississippians live healthy lives.

The hospital’s goal starts from birth.

“Mississippians have fundamental health disparities,” said Fran Kerby, Nurse Educator with the Magnolia Learning Institute. “Among the disparities is too many infants are not being breastfed … breastfeeding has many health benefits to both the mother and the infant.”

Kerby backed her statement with information from the Academy of Breastfeed-

ing Medicine.

“According to the academy, a failure to breastfeed has long term consequences,” she said.

Studies show that illnesses such as stomach viruses, lower respiratory illnesses, ear infections and meningitis occur less often in breastfed babies and are less severe when they do happen.

“Children who are breastfed also have a decreased chance of developing diabetes, lymphoma, leukemia, Hodgkin disease, obesity and hypercholesterolemia,” said Kerby.

The National Institute of

Environmental Health Sciences showed children who are breastfed have a 20 percent lower risk of dying between the ages of 28 days and 1 year than children who weren’t breastfed.

There are also benefits for mothers who breastfeed.

“Mothers have a reduced rick of breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer,” said Kerby. “Most also experience an earlier return to pre-pregnancy weight.”

Breastfeeding helps the entire family in a number of ways.

Ex-prison boss, businessman admit guilt to bribery scheme

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — A former prison official and a businessman are admitting guilt in a bribery scheme that involved hundreds of millions of dollars in state contracts and helped the one-time head of Mississippi’s Corrections Department buy a home in a gated subdivision, a beachfront condo and top-ofthe-line Mercedes Benz vehicles.

“I’m sorry for what I’ve done. It was wrong,” former Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps said in court as he changed his plea to guilty on federal charges of money laundering conspiracy and income tax evasion.

Businessman Cecil McCrory also pleaded guilty Wednesday to one felony count. Both McCrory and Epps had earlier pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors say McCrory gave Epps hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes starting in 2007. In exchange, prosecutors say, Epps steered prison contracts to companies McCrory owned or for which McCrory was a consultant.

Epps faces up to 23 years in federal prison and fines of $750,000 when U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate sentences him June 9. Epps also could be ordered to make restitution.

Prosecutors say Epps reaped $1.5 million in gains from the bribery

scheme, which ran until 2014. As part of his plea agreement, Epps has agreed to forfeit nearly $2 million in real estate, bank accounts, cars, plus $69,600 in cash that the FBI agents found when they searched his Flowood home.

Epps remains free on $25,000 unsecured bond pending sentencing and can keep living in his home until then.

Defense lawyer John Colette said Epps’ wife will try to retain some of the property on the grounds that her earnings helped pay for it.

McCrory faces up to 20 years and fines of $500,000 at sentencing June 10. He’s agreed to forfeit $1.7 million in assets.

The night’s entertainers include: Blake Dixon (formerly of Saving Abel), Gary Dixon, Ken Carpenter, Michael Brose, Jay Holloway, Brian Graham, David Strickland (formerly of Law of Nature and Sweet Tea Jubilee) and others.

For just $3 per spin, attendees can spin the handmade prize wheel for an opportunity to win several prizes up to $50 in value.

“We want to thank everyone involved for their generous contributions and for helping us pull everything together,” said an appreciative Briggs. “This event would not have

been possible were it not for the phenomenal support we’ve received from the community and surrounding areas.”

Tickets for the benefit are $25 per person at the door.

artwork by local artists are just some of the items donated, thus far.

In addition to donations, volunteers are also needed for clean up.

“We have had nine volunteers sign up so far, but could use several more. Each volunteer will be issued a letter of recommendation for college,” said Briggs. “It is a good opportunity for high school students to get some experience and charity work under their belts.”

At 6 p.m., Home Brew and Original Recipe with friends will take the stage.

Mississippi sees snow Associated Press

JACKSON — A winter storm brought more than an inch of snow to areas of north Mississippi from Greenville to Tupelo. The precipitation won’t end until later Wednesday.

Portions of central Mississippi were getting rain and sleet Wednesday.

Highways were getting slippery.

“They said it’s really slick. We had an accident just north of here,” said Rose Clements, administrative assistant at Love’s Travel Stop off Interstate 55 in Batesville, about 60 miles south of Memphis.

“A lot of my truckers are pulling in to stop for the day.”

The central part of the state was under a winter weather advisory. The weather alerts were to remain in effect until midnight Wednesday.

National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Byrd said the Jackson area can expect freezing rain and sleet through the day, with the snow starting in the early afternoon.

It may only amount to about an inch of accumu-

lation, he said.

Byrd said sleet is expected to fall over northern Mississippi and change to snow later in the day.

The weather service expected a few tenths of an inch of ice accumulation before the snow came in.

Snow accumulations were expected to be 2 to 5 inches with the heaviest snow along the U.S. Highway 82 corridor.

The weather service said Greenville reported about an inch of snow early Wednesday afternoon. Higher accumulations were reported in the Oxford area.

David Shaw with the Lafayette County Emergency Management said people are being asked to stay home.

Even though forecasters predict the snow will end around sunset Wednesday, Shaw said the area may not be through with the effects of the inclement weather.

“It’s very possible that if we get enough snow today and it gets slushy tonight and refreezes, it might cause even more issues for going to work in

the morning and that is something we are considering,” Shaw said.

In Tupelo, officials said side streets and larger roads are covered with snow, completely obscuring the road markings.

Tupelo Public Works crews are out trying to clear roads and spreading salt. The Mississippi Department of Transportation has trucks out putting down sand and gravel on bridges.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Department reported many county roads, especially ones with steep hills, were becoming impassable by 1:30 p.m.

Traffic on most fourlane roads is narrowed to single lines of vehicles creeping along and keeping one lane more or less clear.

The precipitation was expected to diminish from the west during the evening Wednesday.

In central Mississippi, forecasters said freezing rain and sleet could change to snow mainly north of Interstate 20 and start to diminish by Wednesday night.

Today in History

Local/State

Black history event scheduled today

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Thursday, Feb. 26, the 57th day of 2015. There are 308 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 26, 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from exile on the Island of Elba and headed back to France in a bid to regain power.

On this date: In 1904, the United States and Panama proclaimed a treaty under which the U.S. agreed to undertake efforts to build a ship canal across the Panama isthmus.

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional act establishing Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.

In 1929, President Calvin Coolidge signed a measure establishing Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

In 1952, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that Britain had developed its own atomic bomb.

In 1962, after becoming the first American to orbit the Earth, astronaut John Glenn told a joint meeting of Congress, “Exploration and the pursuit of knowledge have always paid dividends in the long run.”

In 1987, the Tower Commission, which had probed the Iran-Contra affair, issued its report, which rebuked President Ronald Reagan for failing to control his national security staff.

In 1993, a truck bomb built by terrorists exploded in the parking garage of New York’s World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000 others.

In 2012, Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot to death in Sanford, Florida, during an altercation with neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who said he’d acted in self-defense.

(Zimmerman was subsequently acquitted of second-degree murder.)

Ten years ago: Japan’s H-2A rocket blasted off from a remote southern island, carrying a weather and navigation satellite into orbit.

One year ago: President Barack Obama, speaking in St. Paul, Minnesota, said he would ask Congress for $300 billion to update aging roads and railways.

Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill pushed by social conservatives that would have allowed people with sincerely held religious beliefs to refuse to serve gays.

Postponed due to winter weather, the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery will continue its celebration of Black History Month from 5 to 6:30 p.m. today.

Local actor Autry Davis and Assistant Librarian Cody Daniel of the Crossroads Poetry Project will read poetry written by black poets.

The special exhibit will fea-

Items in the primitive art collection include: The first piece Guild President Sonny Boatman acquired while designing store displays at Lord & Taylor in New York, wood sculptures, fabric

pieces and a few Egyptian collages believed to date back to the 1920s.

“It’s a collection of my lifetime,” Boatman explained. “After the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922, clothing and other items were influenced by the Egyptian style.”

On display for the first time, the president’s collection will also feature a number of books dealing with African art and cul-

ture.

The Corinth Artist Guild is located at 609 N. Fillmore St. next to Smith. restaurant.

Election set to fill U.S. House seat

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant on Tuesday set a special election to fill north Mississippi’s vacant seat in the U.S. House, and the race is expected to attract several candidates.

The nonpartisan election is May 12. If a runoff is needed, it will be June 2. The winner will serve most of a two-year term that ends in January 2017.

The 1st District congressional seat has been open since Republican Rep. Alan Nunnelee died of brain cancer Feb. 6.

The district stretches from Memphis, Tennessee, suburbs in DeSoto County, down to the Golden Triangle area in the north central part of the state. It includes Southaven, Oxford, Tupelo, Iuka, Columbus and Louisville.

Candidates have a March 27 deadline to qualify for the special election. Although the race is nonpartisan, several potential candidates have been elected to other offices under party labels.

First-term state Rep. Chris Brown, R-Aberdeen, said Tues-

well served on the Jackson City Council from February 2011 to October 2014, before moving his family back to his hometown in north Mississippi.

“I’ve got a record as a proven conservative and a lawyer. ... I also have a record of working with people and getting results,” Whitwell, 42, said Tuesday.

Another potential candidate is Chip Mills of Fulton, a Republican who works as Itawamba County prosecutor and city attorney for Mantachie and Fulton.

“We’re strongly considering running,” Mills, 29, said Tuesday.

Travis Childers of Booneville, a Democrat who held the 1st District seat from mid-2008 until early 2011, did not immediately return a call Tuesday.

Nunnelee served 15 years in the state Senate before he unseated Childers in 2010. Nunnelee was sworn in for his third two-year term in January while he was hospitalized in his hometown of Tupelo, but was unable to return to Washington because of his illness.

day that he is running in the special election.

“I’ve got a lot invested not only in Mississippi but in our country.

I want to make it a better place,” said Brown, 43, who owns a recreational vehicle dealership and is a partner in two others.

Mike Tagert of Starkville, a Republican who has been the elected state transportation commissioner for the northern one-third of the state since 2011, said he is considering running in the special election. Candidates for congressional seats are not required, by law, to live in the district. Tagert said he lives 4 or 5 miles outside the 1st District, but could move into the district if elected. His transportation commission district overlaps the congressional district.

“I’ve represented every single inch of the (congressional) district for many years,” Tagert, 44, said Tuesday.

Quentin Whitwell of Oxford, a Republican who’s an attorney and businessman, said he was in Washington on Tuesday talking to people about the possibility of his becoming a candidate. Whit-

New plaque to honor Zuber Park namesake Associated Press

WEST POINT — Zuber Park, located on U.S. Highway 45 in West Point, was named for the city’s first black physician.

The family of Dr. Thomas L. Zuber is looking to update the history of the park’s namesake with a new plaque commemorating the doctor’s life.

Zuber family friend Charles Ivy said the park had been in West Point for more than 30 years, and that younger residents and park visitors might not be aware of the doctor’s impact.

The West Point Board of Selectmen approved placement of the plaque earlier this month.

“We’ve been going through a citywide revitalization process for our parks, and I think this plaque would really add meaning to Zuber Park,” Mayor Robbie Robinson told The Daily Times Leader.

Narva Perry, Zuber’s granddaughter, said Zuber originally owned the land where the park was located, and it passed to his wife after he died in 1956.

The $1,215 cost of the plaque will be split by the Zuber family and the city. Ivy said the family would take care of all costs and labor for erecting the base where the plaque would sit.

“The bricks we’ll use to erect the monument actually came from Dr. Zuber’s house,” Ivy said. “His grandson still lives in West Point, and he’s had the bricks stacked behind his house for 25 years.”

Zuber served as an Army battalion surgeon for the 365th infantry in World War I, After returning to West Point and opening a practice, he was named Medical Doctor of the Year by the Mississippi Medical and Surgical Associates in 1952. He died in 1956.

A Holly Springs man is awaiting bond after attempting to bring cocaine into the Alcorn County Jail.

Michael Turner, 29, of 665 West Lake Drive, H o l l y Springs, was on probation with the Mississippi Department of CorrecTurner tions when he was arrested by Corinth Police on Monday.

Officers with the unit came to the jail and took possession of the cocaine. Turner has been charged with introducing drugs into a county jail.

Differing tax cut plans advance Associated Press

JACKSON — Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves’ $382 million tax-cut proposal was big, until fellow Republican House Speaker Philip Gunn rolled out his own $1.7 billion plan to eliminate Mississippi’s personal income tax.

The Senate voted 38-9 for Reeves’ plan to phase out Mississippi’s business franchise tax over 10 years and reduce some income taxes, with Reeves calling Senate Bill 2839 a “responsible plan that provides meaningful tax relief.”

The step toward a longheld goal of the business community was in danger of being obscured by House Republicans’ proposal, though, as election-year tax-cutting efforts continued to escalate.

“We as Republicans decided that if we’re going to do a tax cut, and that is going to be a matter of discussion, we want it to be real,” Gunn, of Clinton, said in a Tuesday news conference at the Capitol. “We want it to be significant. We want it to count, and we want to give meaningful tax relief to the working families of Mississippi.”

Opponents say the nation’s poorest state can’t

afford to sacrifice revenue needed to pay for services and say the plans would mainly benefit better-off Mississippians.

The House Ways and Means Committee voted 15-7 Tuesday to approve Gunn’s plan, House Bill 1629. It will need a 60 percent majority to pass the House, though. Democrats, who control enough votes to block such measures, signaled opposition, saying Mississippi needs more money for roads, schools and other items.

“I think it’s playing very loose with public policy,” said Rep. Steve Holland, D-Plantersville.

“We’ve always had extraordinary needs, and I think this philosophy is wrong-headed that you give it back to the people and it prospers the economy.”

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, who initially proposed a $79 million income-tax reduction aimed at people earning less than $53,000 a year, faces re-election this year along with Reeves.

Most legislators of both parties also are running for new four-year terms.

Gunn said the House plan would trim nearly $1.4 billion in taxes in steps through 2028, pausing in

any year when state revenue didn’t grow by at least 3 percent. However, that total is based on partial collections from the 2012 calendar year, according to the state Department of Revenue. The state income tax is projected to collect more than $1.7 billion in personal income taxes this year.

The proposal could shift the debate away from proposals to cut business taxes. Gunn’s plan would leave the $242 million-a-year franchise tax on business capital intact, as well as the $300 million-plus corporate income tax.

Opponents warn Gunn’s plan means Mississippi’s remaining taxes would fall more heavily on the poor, as a proportion of income.

Projections from the liberal-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy show the lowest-earning 20 percent of taxpayers, making $16,000 or less, would save an average of $13 a year. Those in the top 1 percent of income, making $324,000 or more, would save $22,862 on average.

Romney, Obama yuk it up (The following column originally was published in October of 2012. Certain time references have been updated.)

The Al Smith dinner in New York is a true test for the modern presidential candidate: Can he deliver hilarious lines written for him by somebody else?

The difficulty is in not cracking up, because the candidates are often hearing the lines for the first time themselves.

The lines are always satirical and funny. But as I have Roger had recent cause to point out, Simon “satire is the lie that tells the truth.”

Columnist So here were the “truths” – spoken in jest, of course – by Mitt Romney and Barack Obama in October 2012 in Manhattan.

But first, one of the best lines of the dinner, which is sponsored by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, came from the host, Al Smith IV: “Gov. Romney, your father was born in Mexico and had five kids. Are you sure you’re not Catholic?”

Smith also pointed out that all the men on the multi-tiered dais in the Waldorf Astoria hotel ballroom were dressed in white ties and tails, “or, as Gov. Romney calls it, business casual.”

Romney rose and noted that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was at the dinner and is known as a man with presidential ambitions.

“Gov. Cuomo may be getting ahead of himself,” Romney pointed out. “He has put in one term as governor. He has a father who was governor. And he thinks that is enough to run for president!”

All his comments were met with laughter, and I will let you insert that response after each of these: “Usually when I get invited to gatherings like this, it’s to be the designated driver.”

“My tip for debate prep is, first, refrain from alcohol for 65 years.”

“It’s good to have someone you can depend on at the end of the day. I have my wife, Ann. President Obama has Bill Clinton.”

Romney also said the media would probably be unfair to him: “The headlines will be, ‘Obama embraced by Catholics; Romney dines with rich people.’”

He then ended on a serious and gracious note, by saying of Obama: “We don’t carry the burden of disliking each other. He has many fine gifts and a wonderful family that would make any man proud. There’s more to life than politics.”

Obama then approached the lectern to speak and got a standing ovation.

“Everyone, please take your seats,” he said. “Otherwise, Clint Eastwood will yell at them.”

Speaking a little longer than Romney, Obama followed with: “I had a lot more energy in the second debate. I was well-rested after the nice long nap I had during the first debate.”

“Four years ago, I gave Chris Matthews a thrill up his leg. At the first debate, I gave him a stroke.”

“Earlier, I went shopping at stores in midtown. I understand Gov. Romney went shopping for stores in midtown.”

“Unemployment is at the lowest since I took office. I don’t have a joke here. I just wanted to remind people.”

Obama also added a serious note, pointing out that “family man and loving father are two titles that matter more than any political ones.”

But he got off a great line in preparation for the final presidential debate in Boca Raton, Florida.

“The next debate is on foreign policy,” Obama said. “Spoiler alert: We got bin Laden.”

That’s all, folks!

Prayer for today Lord God, help me to feel the power of praise. “As words without thoughts never to heaven go,” so the highest praises are never sung alone, but rendered with service and love. May I have the heart to sing thy praises far and near, and rejoice in him from whom all blessings flow. Amen.

A verse to share “There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. — 1 Samuel 2:2

Voices through space and time BAY ST. LOUIS — These voices “speak through time and space,” he promises, and it is true. They penetrate with the authority of earned perspective.

An oral historian named Louis Kyriakoudes gives us a true gift one mild night in February, Black History Month. And he let others do most of the talking.

In this town’s library, Kyriakoudes shares a fraction of the 450 oral histories that the University of Southern Mississippi has collected since 1971, in some cases capturing the vocal essence of civil-rights veterans stilled forever. You can hear them all for yourself on podcasts called Mississippi Moments, a partnership between the state’s public radio, USM’s Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage and the Mississippi Humanities Council.

Something about hearing actual voices is powerful stuff. People sometimes lie, but voices don’t. Imagine

never having heard Kennedy’s Boston brogue, Roosevelt’s patrician patterns or BarRheta bara Jordan’s Johnson god-like timbre. Voices Columnist make history real.

These particular voices hold no rancor, no bitterness, and sadly remind us that the truest thing William Faulkner ever uttered was this: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”

Lee Spearman of Bay Springs grew up in segregated Mississippi and matter-of-factly explains that during his youth nobody bothered to prosecute white men who killed blacks.

It was best for the perpetrators not to get caught, he allows, but if you killed a black man, “he deserved to be dead.”

The voice of Fannie Lou Hamer, the hymn-singing

sharecropper who famously was “sick and tired of being sick and tired,” describes evocatively the life of Sunflower County day laborers who didn’t know until outsiders told them that they had the right to vote.

“If they had a radio, they’d be too tired (at night) to play it ...”

When Fannie Lou Hamer failed at her first attempt at voter registration, her boss the plantation owner demanded she make no more such efforts. “I didn’t go down there to register for you,” she tells him. “I went to register for myself.”

It might have been easier for these activists to leave, to travel to the North, at least depart the Mississippi cotton fields for Memphis. But Unita Blackwell, who eventually became the first black female mayor in Mississippi, explains in simple language and eloquent voice: “We stuck it out. I love the South.

I love the truth.”

James Meredith, who

dared to integrate Ole Miss after the first man who tried was carted off to the state insane asylum, in a few words shares his battle strategy: “I did all my communicating ... through the media. I ain’t never talked to the enemy without the public as a witness.” I loved that. The public as a witness. It explains the need for newspapers in five words.

There’s been a lot of back and forth about Hollywood’s loose history in the movie “Selma.” Well, here you hear directly from the principals, not from the academics or the movie-makers or through any other muffler.

You hear from those who made the history that may be debated, fictionalized, embellished, but, with such efforts, never forgotten.

Hanging Rudy out to dry Back in 1987, this writer was invited by friends to advise them on a press conference they had called to oppose President Reagan’s signing of an INF treaty to remove all nuclear missiles from Europe.

My advice: Deplore the treaty; do not attack the president.

The next day, Howard Phillips declared that Ronald Reagan had become a “useful idiot for Soviet propaganda.”

Howie captured the headlines, as did Rudy Giuliani after that dinner at 21 Club for Gov. Scott Walker, where the mayor spontaneously rose to declaim, “I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America. ... He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up, through love of his country.”

The next day, Rudy doubled down, bringing up Obama’s old ties to socialists and communists: Stalinist Frank Marshall Davis, radical Saul Alinsky, 1970s bomber Bill Ayers, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Rudy could not understand why at the National Prayer Breakfast the president launched an attack on the Crusades and the Inquisition, done “in the name of Christ.” The mayor could not understand why Obama had trouble identifying and naming ISIS as radical Islamic terrorists.

Though this writer heard several radio talk show hosts Friday cheer Rudy on, Republicans swiftly declared

that Obama’s love for America must not be questioned. Urged to put space between Pat t h e m s e l v e s Buchanan and Rudy, most RepubColumnist lican leaders swiftly did.

The consultant class’ advice was near unanimous: Cut Rudy loose.

Sensing retreat, the left pursued. And it is not letting go. They still demand to know why Walker did not renounce Rudy and whether he believes Obama is a Christian. For weeks the governor has been bedeviled for refusing to say in London if he believes in evolution.

Walker’s initial response to whether he thought Obama was a Christian was, “I don’t know. ... To me this is a classic example of why people hate Washington, and, increasingly, they dislike the press.”

Yet, Walker’s spokesperson hastily issued this corrective statement, “Of course the governor thinks the president is a Christian.”

Monday, Rudy walked back his remark that Obama does not love America, writing in the Wall Street Journal, “I didn’t intend to question President Obama’s motives or the content of his heart.” The Republican rout was complete.

While this, too, shall pass away, what it reveals is the balance of power in the culture war and which side has

the whip hand. And what it portends is a drive by the left to pull the GOP back onto the terrain of moral and social issues where its candidates are, or can be portrayed, as out of step with modernity.

Lately, this writer heard a political analyst say that if the GOP platform opposes same-sex marriage, the party can write off California and its 55 electoral votes. Which may be true.

Such has been the cultural and moral shift in America in just a few years.

Yet if the party is true to its past platforms and professed convictions, how can it endorse or equivocate on same-sex marriage?

As for whether one believes in Darwinian evolution, it is neither an inconsequential nor illegitimate question. For where one stands on biblical truth, natural law, a creator and intelligent design is a strong if not absolute indicator of where one comes down on abortion, same-sex marriage, assisted suicide, euthanasia and legalized narcotics.

To traditionalists, the deChristianized and secularized character of American society is of greater concern than whose flag flies over Sebastopol.

And if the GOP visibly retreats or takes a stand of studied neutrality on these issues, it will lose the enthusiasm of the most ardent of its admirers. And the party can’t afford that.

Democrats and their media allies may be expected to elevate the social issues,

both because they sever the GOP from the cultural-media mainstream, and they drive a wedge into the party base between economic and social conservatives.

One imagines those conservatives gathered at Club 21 were more interested in hearing how a President Walker would cut corporate and capital gains taxes than how soon Roe v. Wade could be overturned.

Since the Republican victory in November, it has not been a good quarter for the GOP. Obama, repudiated, seems liberated.

Ignoring GOP protests, he issued an executive amnesty for five million illegal immigrants. He promises to veto the Keystone XL pipeline. He taunted the GOP in his State of the Union. He is back to 50 percent approval in the polls.

The economy added 1 million jobs in three months.

The Dow Jones Friday hit a record high. Senate Democrats are happily filibustering to death the House bill to defund amnesty. And if the Department of Homeland Security has to shut down for lack of funds, Obama and his media allies will see to it the GOP is blamed.

And the national rollouts of the Bush III and Walker campaigns have shown that neither is ready for prime time.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Dow Jones ekes out another record close The Dow Jones industrial average managed another record high close, but just barely, even as other market indexes edged lower.

Traders were watching another day of testimony from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and monitoring earnings news from several big U.S. companies.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 15 points, or 0.1 percent, to 18,224.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index slipped a point to 2,113. The Nasdaq composite also fell a point to close at 4,967.

TJX, the parent company of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, rose 3 percent after its profit beat analysts’ expectations.

The company also said it would raise wages for its U.S. workers.

Family celebrating birthdays of triplets

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. — A suburban Detroit couple who have two older children are adjusting to life after becoming parents to identical triplets — a multiple birth a doctor calls rare.

The Whiteley family of St. Clair Shores is celebrating the one-month birthdays Wednesday for Alexander, Nicholas and Timothy.

Lauren Whiteley, who wasn’t taking fertility treatments, says it “was the shock of a lifetime” when an ultrasound revealed three fetuses.

She and her husband, Michael, say triplets don’t run in their families. Their older sons are 4 and 2.

Neonatologist Dr. Savitri Kumar at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, where the triplets were born Jan. 25, says data on triplet births by natural conception is “very variable from one in 60,000 to one in 2 million.” Kumar says onein-a-million is “the most commonly quoted.”

Group: Lawmaker’s post was racist

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

— The nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization is urging Tennessee Republican leaders to repudiate what they consider a racist Facebook post by a GOP state lawmaker.

Republican Rep. Sheila Butt’s Facebook post said, “It is time for a Council on Christian Relations and an NAAWP in this Country.”

She was commenting on an open letter from the Council on American-Islamic Relations urging potential Republican presidential candidates to reject Islamophobia and reach out to American Muslim voters.

CAIR says the refer-

ence to “NAAWP” is an apparently racist twist to the name of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or NAACP.

Retailers to follow Wal-Mart with raises NEW YORK — The owner of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods stores said Wednesday that it will boost pay for its U.S. workers to at least $9 per hour.

The announcement

by TJX Cos. comes a week after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it would increase wages for its employees and is a sign that more competitors may follow suit. Lowpaying retailers are having a harder time retaining workers as the job market improves.

“This pay initiative is an important part of our strategies to continue attracting and retaining the best talent,” CEO Carol Meyrowitz said in a statement.

TJX spokeswoman Doreen Thompson declined to say what workers currently earn.

A recent Credit Suisse report estimates TJX’s current hourly pay at about $8.24. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.

TJX said hourly workers will start to receive the pay increase in June. In 2016, the company plans to pay all associates who have worked at its stores for more than six months at least $10 per hour.

The company’s 191,000 associates around the world restock shelves, greet customers and ring up purchases at the cash register.

Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, is raising entry level wages to at least $9 an hour in April and to at least $10 an hour by February of next year. Wal-Mart said the change will affect about 500,000 workers.

Also this year, Swedish furniture seller Ikea gave workers at its U.S. division a 17 percent average raise to $10.76 an hour. And clothing chain Gap Inc. raised its minimum hourly wage to $9 last year and to $10 this year.

Man gets prison in death of ex-boxer PHOENIX — One of two men charged in the beating death of a teenage boxer in Phoenix has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Maricopa County prosecutors say 23-year-old Robert Chavez was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to seconddegree murder.

The other suspect — 24-year-old Joseph Jesse Corrales — also pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last month and awaits sentencing.

Chavez and Corrales originally were charged with first-degree mur-

der, second-degree burglary and trafficking in stolen property.

They were arrested in the September 2013 beating death of 17-year-old Alexis Urbina-Ochoa, whose bloody body was found in his home.

Phoenix police say they were tipped off that Chavez and Corrales were selling items stolen from UrbinaOchoa’s home.

Urbina-Ochoa won a USA Youth Boxing National title in 2013 and was training for the 2016 Olympics.

Ex-Guatemalan leader released

DENVER — A former Guatemalan president who was sentenced to nearly six years in prison for accepting $2.5 million in bribes was released Wednesday from a U.S. minimum security facility in Colorado and was returning to his home country.

Alfonso Portillo was released from a suburban Denver prison.

Accompanied by the Guatemalan consul in Denver, Portillo was taking commercial flights to Guatemala City, said Libna Bonilla, deputy chief of mission at the Guatemalan Embassy in Washington.

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons confirmed Portillo’s release from the Federal Correctional Institution in Englewood, where he had been incarcerated since last year.

Details on Portillo’s travel plans, including when he was to arrive in Guatemala, weren’t immediately available.

Portillo was sentenced in federal court in New York in 2014 to nearly six years in prison for accepting $2.5 million in bribes. Bonilla said he was credited with time served in Guatemala, where he faces no further charges.

“He is considered a free man in Guatemala,” Bonilla said.

Portillo admitted accepting $2.5 million in bribes from the government of Taiwan to continue to recognize the Asian nation diplomatically.

Federal prosecutors said the bribes threatened the integrity of U.S. banks because Portillo laundered the money through U.S. financial institutions, making them “a vehicle for moving bad money.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Fee said at sentencing that Portillo used the first half-million dollars he received from Taiwan to build a larger home for meetings and entertaining.

Taiwan’s government said at the time that it rejected ‘checkbook diplomacy.”

Portillo, 63, was Guatemala’s president from 2000 to 2004. He was extradited to the United States in 2013 and pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracy in March 2014.

Across the State Associated Press

New leader chosen for waterway board COLUMBUS — The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development Authority has hired an Alabama man as its new administrator.

The hiring of J. Craig Stepan of Fairhope, Alabama, was announced in a news release. Stepan succeeds Bruce Windham who resigned last year due to illness.

Stepan will also be president of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development Council, the authority’s trade association.

Stepan was president and owner of Superior Shipping and Consulting Services LLC, which specialized in multi-modal transportation matters.

The waterway is the largest water resource project ever built in the U.S. The waterway has 10 locks and dams, a 175-foot deep canal connecting the Tennessee River with the Tombigbee River watershed and 234 miles of navigation channels between the Tennessee River and Mobile, Alabama.

Lawsuit settled over allegation of bullying

JACKSON — The Southern Poverty Law Center has announced a settlement of its federal lawsuit alleging that gay students were routinely bullied in a south Mississippi school district.

In a statement Wednesday, the law center says the Moss Point School District has agreed to adopt and implement new anti-bullying and discrimination policies and procedures, as well as equal educational opportunity policies to prohibit bullying and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

SPLC staff attorney Anjali Nair says complaints by students, parents and guardians will now quickly be brought to the attention of teachers and administrators.

The SPLC sued the district in December 2013 on behalf of Destin Holmes, now 18, but it also said other gay and transgender students, or those who are perceived to be, were subjected to mistreatment.

Stadium deadline depends on funding

come up with the money, she said the stadium still won’t be completely done in time.

City officials say they need to have an answer next week about the extra money to give the Shuckers and the Southern League time to finalize their schedules.

Leflore approves private prison deal

GREENWOOD — Leflore County is agreeing to sell additional land outside the current Delta Correctional Facility’s fences to help a private prison operator pursue a contract to house federal inmates there.

Management and Training Corp. in Centerville, Utah, is bidding on Federal Bureau of Prisons contract. It would need to expand the currently shuttered facility to house 1,400 to 1,600 federal inmates.

The Greenwood Commonwealth reports Delta Correctional was previously run by private prison operator Corrections Corporation of America of Nashville, Tennessee. It closed in January 2012. A portion of it continues to be used as the Leflore County Jail.

Federal law prohibits housing federal inmates with state or local inmates. That means MTC would be required to build a new jail for the county if the company gets the contract.

3 sentenced for pharmacy drugs

ACKERMAN — Authorities say three men linked to the theft of drugs from pharmacies have been sentenced.

Leabrian Myers, 23, of Madison and Marcus and Maurice Taylor, 32, twin brothers from Jackson, were sentenced Tuesday in Choctaw County Circuit Court.

They were members of what authorities called the “trash bag gang” because they allegedly used a can from the stores they robbed to carry out the drugs they had stolen.

Myers pleaded guilty to one count of business burglary. Marcus Taylor pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. Maurice Taylor pleaded guilty to one count possession of a controlled substance

with intent to distribute.

Their prison sentences were lengthy. Myers faces seven years in prison and the Taylor brothers each face 15 years in prison.

Cox won’t seek 2nd term as mayor

GREENVILLE — Greenville Mayor John Cox says he will not run for re-election in November.

Cox tells the Delta Democrat-Times his decision not to run for a second term came after lengthy deliberations, principally with family members.

Cox won a special election in October 2012, a month after his predecessor, Chuck Jordan, stepped down after receiving a diagnosis of advanced-stage pancreatic cancer. Jordan died the next month.

The 67-year-old Cox underwent open-heart surgery in 2003 to correct a heart murmur. He says while his health is good, he would be 71 at the end of a second term and “four more years is just more than I think I can handle at this point.”

His term ends Jan. 1, 2016.

Congestion keeps Chiquita in Gulfport

GULFPORT — Chiquita containers filled with paper arrive by truck and rail at the State Port in Gulfport where they are stored for later movement to New Orleans for southbound shipment.

Along with its own cargo, Crowley Liner Services is shipping into Gulfport northbound Chiquita containers loaded with produce.

Chiquita moved to New Orleans in October after 40 years in Gulfport. Its containers were supposed to be completely cleared out of Gulfport

by Dec. 31. Congestion at the Port of New Orleans is keeping the Mississippi port busy.

Matt Gresham, director of external affairs at the New Orleans port, tells The Sun Herald the congestion was “totally expected.”

He said container volume at the Port of New Orleans increased by 9 percent in 2014. Several construction projects are underway on the container terminal, he said.

A new rail terminal will increase cargo capacity.

BILOXI — The city of Biloxi will either have to pay a $10,000 fine for every home game that can’t be played in the new Shuckers’ stadium, or chip in $1 million to get it ready for opening day on April 21.

City attorney Gina Tompkins said Tuesday the city doesn’t have a $1 million.

The Sun Herald reports Tompkins told the city council said she met Monday with officials from Yates Construction, which is building the stadium on U.S. 90. Even if the city manages to

Three nabbed in plot to join militant group Associated Press

NEW YORK — Three men were arrested Wednesday on charges of plotting to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group and wage war against the U.S., and federal officials said one of them spoke of attacking President Barack Obama or planting a bomb on Coney Island.

Akhror Saidakhmetov was arrested at Kennedy Airport, where he was attempting to board a flight to Istanbul, authorities said.

Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev had a ticket to travel to Istanbul next month and was arrested in Brooklyn, federal prosecutors said. Abror Habibov, 30, accused of helping fund Saidakhmetov’s efforts, was arrested in Florida.

They are charged with attempt and conspiracy to provide material support to a terrorist organization. If convicted, each faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

Habibov appeared in federal court in Jacksonville, Florida, and was appointed a public defender. The other two men were in custody, and it was not clear if they had attorneys who could comment on the charges. They were scheduled to appear in federal court in Brooklyn later Wednesday.

Saidakhmetov is a Brooklyn resident and citizen of Kazakhstan.

Juraboev and Habibov are residents of Brooklyn and citizens of Uzbekistan.

Federal prosecutors say Juraboev, 24, first came to the attention of law enforcement in August, when he posted on an Uzbek-language website that propagates the Islamic State ideology. “Greetings! We too want to pledge our allegiance and commit ourselves while not present there,� he wrote, according to federal authorities. “Is it possible to commit ourselves as dedicated martyrs anyway while here?�

Officials said they believed he planned to travel from Turkey to Syria to join the terror group. Prosecutors say Saidakhmetov, 19, also

threatened an attack in the U.S. if he was unable to join the Islamic State. Juraboev’s plans included attacks against Obama or planting a bomb on Coney Island, officials said.

Federal officials say Juraboev identified Saidakhmetov as a friend and co-worker with a shared ideology. The two exchanged messages on how to get overseas, and Saidakhmetov and an informant watched videos of Islamic State training camps in Syria, according to court papers.

Habibov operates kiosks that repair phones and sell kitchenware in malls in Jacksonville, Florida; Savannah, Georgia; and Philadelphia. He employed Saidakhmetov last fall and winter and said he would help fund his travel, though he did not mention a specific sum of money, prosecutors said. The two were spotted in Brooklyn purchasing a ticket for Saidakhmetov to travel to Turkey, officials said.

The Islamic State group largely consists of Sunni militants from Iraq and Syria but has also drawn fighters from across the Muslim world and Europe.

Federal officials have expressed alarm at the idea that Americans could travel to Syria to fight alongside the Islamic State or train there and return to the United States to carry out attacks against the homeland.

There have been more than 20 arrests in the U.S. in the last year of people trying to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State or other extremists.

In one recent case, Hamza Ahmed, 19, of Minneapolis was indicted last week on charges associated with supporting the Islamic State group. Ahmed had been arrested in New York in November while apparently trying to fly to Syria.

Shannon Maureen Conley, a 19-year-old Colorado woman who tried to board a flight from Denver to join the Islamic State, was sentenced last month to 48 months in federal prison.

Lawsuit claims Purina food sickens, kills dogs Associated Press

Secondly, we must restore the home as the centerpiece of our society. After creating the heavens and the earth, God created the home. His design was that man should “leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh� (Genesis 2:24) Jesus, regarding that law, said “Therefore what God hath joined together let not man put asunder. (Matthew 19:6) Husbands and fathers are to be the bread winners and spiritual leaders of the family, (Deut 6: Eph 6:4; I Timothy 5:8; Proverbs 22:6) loving their wives as their own bodies, (Eph 5:22ff) and wives/mothers recognizing the headship of the husband in the home, with all that encompasses, as providers and teachers, helping to rear children in a safe and healthy home, teaching them to “obey their parents in the Lord, for this is right� (Eph 6:4). Respect for authority begins in the home, both in its teaching and its enforcement; lovingly and patiently guiding, disciplining, molding, and shaping the lives, minds and conduct of those who will follow us. How far have we moved from this, God’s design, for our homes? Will we return?

Thirdly, we must change the way we treat one another in our personal relationships. God has always intended for folks to get along with one another, and has put laws into effect to show us the way. Under the first covenant, the first four commands had to do with man’s relationship with God; the last six had to do with the relationships with each other. When asked, “which is the greatest commandment in the law,� Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.� Mt. 22:36-40 In the sermon on the mount Jesus gave us what we call the Golden Rule: “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would taht men should do to you, do ye even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets.� (Matthew 7:12) If truly put into practice, how radically would these truths change our lives and the face of our nations?!

We invite you to study and worship with us at Danville church of Christ.

SAN FRANCISCO — A dog owner has filed a lawsuit against a pet food company alleging that thousands of dogs have been sickened or died from eat-

ing he fed his three dogs Beneful “kibble� style dog food, and within a short period of time, two were sick and one was dead.

The suit alleges the food contains propylene glycol, which it says is an animal toxin used in automobile antifreeze, and mycotoxins, a group of toxins produced by fungus that

occurs in grains.

Purina says Beneful is perfectly safe. The Food and Drug Administration has not issued any warnings about the product.

In a statement, Purina said “there are no quality issues with Beneful,� and dog owners could continue feeding it to their pets without any concern.

2014 a good year for filmmaking in Mississippi

BY ISABELLE ALTMAN The Commercial Dispatch

COLUMBUS — In 2014, 19 feature films along with six reality shows and six documentaries were shot partially or entirely in Mississippi. “We had a rather remarkable year last year and we expect that to continue,� said Ward Emling, director of the Mississippi Film Office.

While in the past, movies filmed in Mississippi were based on stories that took place in the state or were set in the Old South, Emling said the films last year were all kinds of genres and set in locations from all over the world.

A movie about James Brown was filmed in Natchez and Jackson, despite including settings like Paris and South Carolina.

And “By Way Of Helena,� a Western starring Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson, completed filming in Greenwood last fall.

That’s pretty good for a state which, in the minds of a lot of people, is about as far removed from Hollywood culture as you can get.

Last year was an unusually good year for movie making in the state, but Mississippi has a history of serving as a set for movies and TV. Since 2000, more than

Complaint filed over lawmaker’s traveling Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A government watchdog group on Wednesday asked congressional investigators to examine whether Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock violated House ethics rules by using taxpayer and campaign funds for private air travel.

The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said in its complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics that available evidence about Schock’s spending “warrants a full investigation.� Schock, a 33-year-old Republican, has faced scrutiny in recent weeks amid revelations he used the funds to pay for trips on his donors’ aircraft.

An Associated Press review this week found Schock spent more than $40,000 for at least a dozen flights, including trips before 2013 that may have violated House rules. Schock’s expenses also include fundraising-related charges to a massage company and for concerts.

This is the third complaint from the liberalleaning group CREW about Schock’s finances since early February, the most recent one filed days after reports from the AP, Washington Post, Politico and USA Today. CREW’s complaints on Feb. 3 and Feb. 9 asked for inquires over decorating services to furnish his office after the TV show “Downton Abbey,� as well as the sale of his Peoria, Illinois, home to a campaign contributor.

A spokesman for Schock on Wednesday referred to the congressman’s earlier comments about his finances.

Schock told the AP on Monday he takes compliance with funding rules seriously and has begun a review of his office’s procedures “concerning this issue and others to determine whether they can be improved.�

Lawmakers can use their office funds for private flights as long as payments cover their share of the costs.

But most of the flights Schock covered with office funds occurred before the House changed its rules in January 2013.

The earlier rules prohibited lawmakers from using those accounts to pay for flights on private aircraft, allowing payments only for federally licensed charter and commercial flights.

Schock also spent thousands more on tickets for concerts and car mileage reimbursements and took his interns to a sold-out Katy Perry concert in Washington last June.

Separately, the Office of Congressional Ethics said in 2013 there was reason to believe Schock violated House rules on campaign contributions during a 2012 primary.

In a signal that Schock could begin to respond to questions about his expenses, Schock earlier this week brought on board Washington attorneys William McGinley and Donald McGahn, a former Federal Election Commission member.

65 features, shorts, documentaries, music videos, TV episodes, TV series and more have been filmed in the state. From Elvis documentaries to “True Blood� episodes to major motion pictures like “The Help,� plenty of films were brought into the world in the Magnolia State, according to the Mississippi Film Office’.

The Mississippi Film Office has an incentive program to attract producers and filmmakers to the state, according to the office’s website. But it’s not just monetary incentives that have attracted filmmakers to the state.

Mississippi has a similar incentive program to

many of its competitor states like Georgia and Louisiana, Emling said. “Beyond that, it’s the locations,� Emling said.

He said a film shot on the Gulf Coast last year actually is set in Lake Tahoe. While most movies are shot around the coast or near Jackson, filming has occurred in places like Greenwood and Tupelo, and scouts look all over the state when deciding where to film a production.

Emling also credited a supportive community of Mississippians enthusiastic about the film industry and committed to making the state a great place for production.

Mississippi gets a lot of benefits from films being shot here — financial benefits if nothing else.

Emling’s office estimated that the combined productions in Mississippi last year directly spent $50 million to $60 million in the state.

When movie productions come to a community, they spread money everywhere, from laundry facilities and utilities to restaurants and building materials, Emling said.

It also provides exciting opportunities for people.

Emling said many individuals who would never have been involved in film otherwise are exposed to a production here in the

state and decide that film is the industry they want to go into as a career.

Plus, the more major productions take place here, the more the spotlight shines on Mississippi. “Hunger Games� stars Harrelson and Hemsworth went straight from shooting “By Way of Helena� to the premiere of “Mockingjay,�

Emling said. “It’s incalculable, that kind of P.R. we get from a film,� Emling said.

Then when the movie comes out, the state gets that publicity again. “We think the future is very bright for films in Mississippi,� Emling said.

Both parties face risks as court case nears

BY ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Twenty-two out of 24.

And 206 to 96.

Those numbers tell much about the political impact of a Supreme Court case in which conservatives and Republicans hope to demolish a pillar of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. The justices hear arguments next week.

The plaintiffs say subsidies that help millions of Americans afford private insurance are illegal. They say the law limits that aid, paid as tax credits, to people buying coverage from marketplaces established by states, not the federal government.

Democrats disagree.

But with a June decision expected, the King v. Burwell case tosses political risks at both parties.

GOP numbers game Only 13 states run their own insurance marketplaces, where people who don’t get coverage through work but earn too much to qualify for Medicaid can purchase policies. The federal government’s HealthCare. gov serves 37 states, which are mostly Republican-run and decided against establishing their own systems.

Of the 11.4 million people who the Health and Human Services Department says have enrolled for coverage for this year, 8.6 million live in states using HealthCare.gov.

Some may eventually not receive policies, but many who do stand to lose them if the plaintiffs win because without federal aid, they couldn’t afford cov-

erage.

That pressures Republicans, who uniformly oppose the law, to help the recipients or risk alienating lots of voters.

Here’s why. Of the 24 GOP senators facing reelection in 2016, 22 are from states using the federal marketplace. That includes Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida, a possible presidential candidate, whose state saw a national high 1.6 million enroll for coverage; Richard Burr of North Carolina, where 559,000 signed up; and Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania, where 472,000 enrolled.

No politician enjoys confronting thousands of constituents who have lost something. Nor do they like facing insurance companies, hospitals and others who would suffer if billions in subsidies vanish.

Perhaps a third of those 22 GOP senators face competitive races next year — enough to put Senate control in play.

Republicans have a 54-46 Senate majority, including two Democratic-leaning independents.

In addition, in the 37 federal marketplace states, 206 House members are Republicans and 96 are Democrats, including one GOP vacancy. All House seats are up for reelection next year, though continued GOP control is likely.

GOP response Should the court overturn the subsidies, few Republicans would favor declaring victory and letting millions of people lose federal aid and their health coverage. But so

far, Republicans are divided over what to do. “The response can’t be, ‘Well, some people won’t have insurance,’� said Mike Leavitt, a Republican and health secretary under President George W. Bush.

Leading congressional Republicans say they are readying plans to help subsidy recipients temporarily, perhaps until the GOP can permanently revamp the law.

Sen. John Barrasso, RWyo., is among top GOP senators crafting a proposal he says would retain some level of subsidies, let people buy narrower policies than the law currently requires and give states more say on health coverage. He sees no broad rewrite of the law soon. “You really don’t accomplish that until 2017 with a new occupant of the White House,� Barrasso says.

mining his health care overhaul, he risks looking unreasonable in the shadow of a Supreme Court finding that his administration was implementing the law too aggressively.

Congressional Democrats might split, with liberals demanding no concessions but moderates like Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., open to some health law changes.

Only three Senate Democrats from states using HealthCare.gov face 2016 re-election, including Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.

Looking to keep pressure on Congress, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell told lawmakers this week that the administration lacks authority to fix the “massive damage� that would occur if the plaintiffs win.

Democratic risks

If the court dismisses the challenge, Democrats will have little incentive to revamp the law. But they will face another campaign season of defending a law that still lacks majority public support.

Another complication: The ever-unpopular IRS’ role in the health care law.

It distributes insurance subsidies to people in the form of tax credits.

But it also fines people, by raising their tax liability, if they flout the law’s requirement that they purchase coverage. Coupled with last week’s disclosure that the government sent inaccurate tax information to 800,000 HealthCare.gov customers, the agency reinforces some people’s distaste for the law.

If the plaintiffs win, Obama and Democrats will want to keep subsidies flowing and protect the law that they enacted unilaterally in 2010.

While many Republicans seem willing to help those beneficiaries temporarily, it’s unclear what tradeoffs they would seek.

The GOP might demand changes like those Barrasso is considering or others like increasing the size of businesses that must offer health coverage. Negotiations could draw in other issues like the impending expiration of health services for children from lower-income families.

Should Obama refuse such demands as under-

If Democrats win, no easy path

What hedge funds buy Every three months, though, they give the hoi polloi a peak when they disclose their holdings in regulatory filings.

To be sure, while Apple has been a good call this year, hedge funds generally have been struggling. They’ve lagged the S&P 500 for six straight years as a group. But a basket of the 50 stocks that appear most often in hedge funds’ top-10 lists has had a better track record. It returned 16.3 percent last year versus 13.7 percent for the S&P 500, and it’s had better quarterly returns than the S&P 500 nearly two-thirds of the time since May 2001.

Hedge funds bet big on Apple as 2015 approached, and it’s paying off.

Apple was the most popular stock among hedge funds at the end of 2014, according to a Goldman Sachs review of which stocks appeared most often in their top-10 holding lists. They’ve been rewarded, as Apple has surged 16.7 percent this year versus 2.7 percent for the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

Hedge funds pitch themselves as expert stock pickers, and they’re generally available only to pension funds, rich families and other large institutional investors.

New VIPs These are some of the stocks that joined Goldman Sachs’ list of hedge-fund favorites last quarter.

J.C. Penney has been trying to recover from a botched plan to reinvent itself under former CEO Ron Johnson.

The department store chain, due to report fourth-quarter results today, has been closing stores and cutting jobs to improve profitability.

Meanwhile, Penney hopes to woo mobile savvy shoppers by publishing a store catalog again, beginning next month.

Reader asks about ‘Alison’s’ friendship WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I am currently in a two-year relationship with “Alison.”

Both of us are recently divorced.

During Alison’s marriage, she became a confidante to “Will.”

They have remained friends, and she insists nothing of a sexual nature ever happened.

When we first got together, Will was in a new relationship and had limited contact with Alison.

However, eight months ago, that relationship ended.

Now he and Alison text each other multiple times a day, all day long.

He lives with his parents, and Alison stops by a couple of times a month to visit with his family.

Will has made it very clear that he doesn’t want to be around me at all.

Every time he gets into trouble, Alison is right there to help.

At least once every few weeks, he drives 15 miles to eat at the restaurant where she works.

I am not sure how to handle this friendship.

I trust Alison, or I would have left already.

Any advice, or am I foolish? -- N. Dear N.: There is nothing wrong with having friendships, even those that include confidences.

The problem is

Annie’s Mailbox when one person’s significant other is unwelcome and entirely excluded from these relationships and the confidences shared are intimate and interfere with the primary relationship.

We think Will is a bit possessive of Alison, but that shouldn’t alarm you.

Does Alison show you his texts?

She should (but you do not need to comment on them).

If you trust her and she is not hiding anything from you, we’d let this run its course.

It is important, however, that Alison understands the boundaries of this friendship so she isn’t leading Will on or damaging her relationship with you.

Dear Annie: I take both Pilates and yoga classes.

One student loves to chew gum during class.

It was ingrained in me by my father that loudly chewing gum is considered bad manners.

It drives me crazy.

I find it hard to concen-

trate when she is popping and chomping away on her gum, and I know I’m not the only one in class who feels this way.

Any suggestions on how to get her to stop?

-- Cringing in Exercise Class Dear Cringing: People do a lot of boorish things during exercise classes.

Perhaps the gum helps her concentrate or keeps her from having a dry mouth.

She probably isn’t aware of how loud and annoying it is.

Unfortunately, you cannot eliminate all behaviors that drive you crazy.

You can, however, register a complaint with the instructor, move into a different class or ask the woman nicely whether she can make the gum chewing less noisy.

To our Baha’i readers: Happy Ayyam-iHa. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Face-to-face friend refuses to like online interaction D E A R ABBY: Help!

Facebook is killing my social life. I am wondering if anyone else is having this Abigail experience. a womVan Buren anI am whose job requires me Dear Abby to be on the computer eight hours a day. The last thing I want after work is to go online.

Before Facebook took over my social circle, this wasn’t a problem. But now all my friends and family are on the site and pressuring me to do likewise.

Gradually, Facebook contact seems to be replacing real, physical get-togethers. Things that used to be done in person or over the phone are now all done on Facebook, and we rarely get together anymore. If I don’t check Facebook, I am out of the loop.

If I suggest getting together, everyone is “busy” -- busy on Facebook, I guess. They aren’t mad at me or avoiding me, they just want contact on their terms.

Am I the only one having this problem? -- OLD-SCHOOL IN CHAMPAIGN, ILL. DEAR OLD-SCHOOL: I’m

sure you’re not the only one. The Internet is supposed to be a tool to facilitate communication, not a substitute for real, flesh-andblood relationships. If you can’t work out a compromise with your friends and family -- say, one inperson visit a month -- you may have to cultivate some new relationships with other “old-school” people who also prefer face-toface contact.

DEAR ABBY: My father recently passed away. It was unexpected. He was my sunshine and my heart. I am devastated.

Because of this, I am no longer sure I want to have a traditional wedding. It would be too sad to not share the day with Dad, as I had dreamed. My fiance and I have discussed eloping, and it seems like the right idea.

The trouble with eloping, however, is that we’d want our parents and siblings there as witnesses, and we’d like a party for friends and extended family after the nuptials. People are telling me THAT’S not eloping, and they have been looking forward to attending our wedding.

In the midst of my grief, I’m not sure how to respond to their comments. What should I do? -FATHERLESS BRIDE IN MISSISSIPPI DEAR FATHERLESS BRIDE: If you would prefer your nup-

tials to be a small, intimate affair, that’s what they should be.

Have a reception later. Whether others were looking forward to attending your wedding is beside the point. If you are challenged for not wanting a big wedding, all you need to say is that your plans changed when your father died. No one should be able to argue with that, because your feelings are understandable.

DEAR ABBY: I have a neighbor who is always asking to borrow things. The items come back only if I go and collect them -- from food items like spices, to gasoline, cash and more.

The situation is almost comical, like Simpson vs. Flanders. How can I make my stuff less available without outright saying no?

-- FLANDERS OF “SPRINGFIELD,” MAINE DEAR FLANDERS: And what is wrong with just saying no?

When someone’s generosity is abused, that’s the most logical thing to do. And without being nasty, you should tell your neighbor the reason why.

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).

Don’t waste time worrying about whether your teammates are strong enough. Focus instead on communicating well.

You can do a fantastic job with an average team if you’re all on the same page.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll witness amateur social moves: walking into the glass door, conversations dominated by detailed descriptions of a television show, epic drink spills, etc. If you don’t laugh, you’ll win loyalty and friendship.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You could be socially impeccable if you wanted to be, but what’s the fun in that? Take risks. If you’re not making any weird mistakes, you’re not forming the bonds you could be.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The tyrannosaurus rex is a strange mystery. So ferocious, but why such tiny arms? And did it have feathers or scales?

You may never know, but with a little digging, you may find answers to a different powerful mystery today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). At your heart, you want them to like you. But today it’s so important that certain people respect you first and foremost.

You might have to change your mode from “friendly” to “slightly intimidating.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

No matter what you do, there are certain people in this world who think of you as a freshfaced youth. That can be wonderful, even though there are times when you really want to be taken seriously as an adult.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You suspect what the truth is, though part of your mind is busy spinning alternative versions that favor your worldview and the reality you wish for. Face facts later -- now is for living in the possibilities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

It’s like you are standing at the intersection of life pushing the “walk” button with no results.

Keep pushing until that light comes on, and you can influence the traffic pattern to let you cross this one safely.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your ruling planet, Jupiter, with its massive gravitational pull, sucks many asteroids into its orbit that otherwise might have been a danger to Earth.

There’s a person who will protect you in much the same way today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can never go back.

You can physically put yourself there, but it’s just not the same, and so you’re not really back.

Today’s gift is being as close to “back” as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everyone is discussing a new topic, and you won’t have much to say on the matter until after you’ve given yourself time alone to think about what you’ve heard. In other words, your best thinking will happen after the fact.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

An interesting and very beneficial person will come into your mix. This is someone you’ll get to know best on a one-on-one basis, so arrange to meet outside of the group setting.

Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong second half defeats South Carolina The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Levi Randolph scored 17 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished five assists to lead Alabama to a 59-51 victory over South Carolina Tuesday night.

Retin Obasohan contributed 15 points and Rodney Cooper added 11 for the Crimson Tide (1711, 7-8 Southeastern Conference). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just tried to be more aggressive in the second half,â&#x20AC;? Randolph said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played together.

We take what the defense

gives you. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to fight and give it all to get the win.â&#x20AC;?

After South Carolina battled back to tie the score at 44 with 8:31 left, Alabama outscored the Gamecocks 15-7 down the stretch and Randolph netted seven points in the final 6:07. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give a lot of credit to Levi Randolph,â&#x20AC;? said South Carolina coach Frank Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We battled to tie the game after being so atrocious to start the second half. Levi does what se-

niors do. Protect the home court and put the team on their back.â&#x20AC;?

South Carolina (13-14, 4-11) led 10-3 early and stayed in front throughout most of the first half. Alabama closed to within one point on three occasions before finally tying the game at on a 3-pointer by Randolph with 1:52 left.

Laimonas Chatkevicious made a jump shot for the Gamecocks and Jimmie Taylor answered with a dunk to make it 22-22 at intermission.

Alabama opened the

second half with a 19-11 run and was up 41-33 after another dunk by Taylor at the 12:56 mark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were small (at that point) and we tried to press a little bit to get them off kilter and then to get back to our zone,â&#x20AC;? said Alabama coach Anthony Grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to force misses. We got a little ball movement and player movement. We were able to defend and that was probably the difference.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they did a good job not allowing us to get

the ball inside,â&#x20AC;? said South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Duane Notice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They protected us from getting the ball to our bigs.

As guards, we have to be more aggressive on the perimeter, make shots and attack the zone. I think their length and speed was the factor for them against us.â&#x20AC;?

Chatkevicius had 18 points and Notice 16 points for South Carolina.

leads Alabama in scoring (14.7 ppg), assists (2.3 apg), steals (1.4) and minutes (35 mpg) and currently ranks fifth in the SEC in field goal percentage (.491) and free throw percentage (.803), ninth in steals and 11th in scoring.

Rivals both struggling in close games The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s inability to win close games has sent the Volunteers tumbling down the Southeastern Conference standings.

That gives the Volunteers something in common with Vanderbilt, the team they host Thursday.

Tennessee has dropped seven of its last nine games, and five of those losses were decided by six points or fewer.

Vanderbilt is 0-6 in games decided by three points or fewer, including a 76-73 overtime loss to Tennessee on Feb. 11.

“We are grinding,” Tennessee coach Donnie Tyndall said. “We were fortunate to win the Vanderbilt game, but we have lost some heart-

breakers. I can’t fault our effort.”

The Volunteers (14-12, 6-8 SEC) have tried to remain upbeat amid this late-season slide.

“Nobody’s coming in being lackadaisical,” Tennessee forward Armani Moore said.

“Everybody’s coming in every day ready to work. We watch film before practice and guys are asking questions, figuring out ways to get better. I feel that’s a sign we’re not giving up. As long as we’re not giving up, we should be a contender in every game we play.”

Inexperience may be hurting Tennessee and Vanderbilt (15-12, 5-9) in close games.

Josh Richardson is the only Tennessee player who averaged more than 5 points per

game for the Volunteers last season. Vanderbilt’s starting lineup includes three freshmen and a sophomore.

Vanderbilt has won four of its last six games after losing seven straight. Its most painful loss came in its first game with Tennessee, as the Commodores’ struggles from the free-throw line helped the Vols erase a five-point deficit in the final 15 seconds of regulation.

Some Vanderbilt players have found other reasons for motivation.

Freshman guard Wade Baldwin IV says he heard Richardson tell a reporter after that loss that Tennessee was the tougher team down the stretch. Baldwin says the remark bothered him and

said “we’re going after him, we’re going after Tennessee and we’re going after their fans.”

“You should show like some sort of respect for your opponent and stuff like that, especially because you have to play them again,” Baldwin said.

Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings believes the loss itself should be motivation enough.

“If you have trouble getting ready to play your rival after you gift-wrapped the last game for them, then you don’t deserve to have a uniform,” Stallings said. “Of course I expect our guys to be ready to play, and I think they will be.”

Baylor walk-on RB ruled ineligible The Associated Press

Baylor says running back Silas Nacita — who became a fan favorite thanks to his story of making it to college football despite an unstable childhood — will no longer be part of the program because of rules violations that affect his eligibility.

Nacita, a walk-on reserve from Bakersfield, California, posted on Twitter on Wednesday that he had been ruled ineligible because he accepted a

The Associated Press

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Major league players are against many of the radical changes introduced during the Arizona Fall League to speed up games.

Baseball players’ association head Tony Clark is encouraging his membership to make slight adjustments that will improve the pace of games without completely altering the way they do their

a waiver for him to be reinstated. Typically, a school rules a player ineligible, and then requests an NCAA waiver for reinstatement.

After Baylor held a spring practice session on Wednesday, coach Art Briles told reporters Nacita would be back if he was eligible.

“It’s unfortunate you know, and hopefully there’ll be a remedy,” Briles said. “This is a situation handled through compliance not through foot-

ball.”

Nacita, who picked up the nickname Salsa Nacho because his name autocorrects to that on smartphones, had 191 yards rushing on 31 carries as a fourth-stringer and played on special teams last season. Local and national media outlets profiled his road from growing up mostly fatherless in California to a year playing at Cornell to Please see BAYLOR | 13

jobs.

A former All-Star first baseman and the first player to head the union, Clark said Wednesday on the first stop of his spring training tour that extreme methods aren’t feasible at the sport’s highest level.

“With this particular discussion, having an opportunity to see if we can address some concerns that some have, while creating some

new habits without jeopardizing the integrity of the play on the field, this was the hope here,” Clark said. “With the batter’s box rule, with the in-between innings timing, with the pitching change timing, we’re simply hopeful that those adjustments have some affect on the length of the game but do so without significantly changing the way the guys play, prepare, do what they need to do.”

Players agreed to time limits for between-innings breaks and pitching changes, and a requirement batters keep one foot in the box in many instances. But the only penalties will be warnings and fines, not balls and strikes, and the fines won’t start until May 1.

MILWAUKEE — Linebacker A.J. Hawk had a hunch after Green Bay’s season ended that he might be looking for a new team.

So he wasn’t surprised after the Packers released him Wednesday following nine years with the only club he has played with in the NFL. Hawk is not bitter, either.

“I wasn’t taken by surprise.

I kind of had a feeling it might happen,” Hawk said on a podcast he released Wednesday after the team made the move. “The Packers actually let me know. ... They’ve stayed awesome throughout this whole process, been super classy.”

Hawk, a respected locker room presence, leaves Green Bay with 1,118 tackles, tops in the franchise since 1975. He

appeared in 142 of 144 possible regular-season games with 136 starts since being drafted in the first round in 2006 out of Ohio State.

But Hawk lost playing time in the second half of this past season as Green Bay tried to shore up its run defense.

Green Bay has also released veteran inside linebacker Brad Jones this offseason.

The Packers’ defense im-

proved after giving outside linebacker Clay Matthews more snaps in the middle and alongside Sam Barrington.

“A.J. is a consummate Packer and we are grateful for all that he has given and how he represented the organization over the past nine seasons,” general manager Ted Thompson said in a statePlease see HAWK | 13

Tennessee forced overtime in that game because Robert Hubbs III drove the length of the court and banked in a game-tying layup at the buzzer. Tennessee’s failed to capitalize on other opportunities this season when it had a chance to win or tie the game in the closing seconds.

Hubbs missed a 3-pointer that would have tied the game in a 74-69 loss at No. 18 Arkansas.

Richardson missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer in a 56-53 loss

at Georgia and missed a jumper Saturday that would have forced overtime in a 59-57 loss at Ole Miss.

“It’s really, in my mind, a situation where it comes down to we don’t get any easy baskets,” Tyndall said.

“In these one- or twopossession games, if you could throw it to the post and get two or three cheap buckets a game, or if you had more playmakers - the only real playmaker we have from the perimeter is Josh - it would make the game easier for everybody, but that is just an area we struggle in.”

Nacita was described in those stories as once being estranged from his mother and homeless at times.

“In 2014, I was just a kid who couched surfed and took classes online at a community college, but I had a dream to play college football,” Nacita wrote in his Twitter post on Wednesday.

“Throughout that year, I was able to earn enough academic scholarships to pursue that dream,

but it was only enough to pay for school without a place to stay or any other living expenses.”

Nacita said before enrolling at Baylor a close family “insisted on putting me in an apartment and helping out with those living expenses.”

“Because I accepted that offer instead of choosing to be homeless, I am no longer eligible to play football and pursue my dream.

“I had no idea I was breaking any rules, but I respect the decision of the NCAA.”

rules of the pace of play, just clarifying what’s going on with it,” pitcher and Giants player rep Matt Cain said after Clark spoke with the team. “He did a great job of simplifying things.”

Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has strong feelings about the new rules and doesn’t plan to alter his approach — even if it means he will be regularly fined. He steps out of the box to try to gain a mental edge. The rule requiring hitters to keep a foot in the box contains many exceptions, including swinging at a pitch, getting forced out by a pitch, calling time, faking a bunt, and wild pitches and passed balls.

“Well, I might run out of money. Period,” Ortiz said Wednesday.

“I’m not going to change my game. I don’t care what they say. ...

I’ve got to take my time to think about what they’re going to try to do against me. They put the rules together but they don’t talk to us as a hitter. ... Why don’t you come and ask questions first and then we come to an agreement?” The AFL experiment included a 20-second clock between pitches, a limitation of pitcher’s mound conferences involving catchers and managers, and no-pitch intentional

walks. “I think it’s great that they had a 16-game experiment in the Arizona Fall League, but that is not reflective of a major league game during the season,” Clark said. “They’ve decided to implement any number of rules that they want to implement in the minor leagues, and that’s fine, too.

Unfortunately we don’t represent those players, but even in the minor leagues it’s a different ballgame than it is in the major leagues, and I think you would have any player, coach or anybody who’s been around the game for a long time suggest that those games are different.” Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford said another focus of the hour-long meeting was gearing up for bargaining that will start next year for a labor contract to replace the current deal, which expires in December 2016.

Clark insists there are plenty of lawyers on staff and available to handle the negotiations. He hopes to build on the last bargaining round of 2011, when 240 players participated in various stages.

While players who were part of the last work stoppage in 199495 are mostly long gone from the game, Clark expects participation from active players to be a key again.

Mavs suspend Rondo for exchange The Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Dallas Mavericks suspended Rajon Rondo for their game Wednesday night in Atlanta for conduct detrimental to the team, a day after the point guard had a heated exchange on the court with coach Rick Carlisle and was benched.

Carlisle said he must communicate better with Rondo.

“The incident last night was born in large part from poor communication between him and I,” Carlisle said Wednesday.

“That’s on both of us. We had a long talk about the situation today and we both agreed we need to communicate more frequently and we need to work on the solution of making his stint as a Dallas Maverick the most successful one possible.”

Rondo came out with 8:10 left in the third quarter of Dallas’ 99-92 home victory over Toronto. He was bringing the ball up the court when Carlisle angrily shouted for a timeout and exchanged words with Rondo from several feet away as the player headed to the bench.

The Mavericks were trailing by nine when Rondo was pulled and rallied with backups Devin Harris and J.J. Barea running the offense along with leading scorer Monta Ellis, who sometimes handles the ball.

Carlisle said Rondo will return as a starter for the Mavericks’ next game against Brooklyn on Saturday.

“It’s one game. He’ll serve it tonight,” Carlisle said. “We’ll be off tomorrow. He’ll practice Friday

and he’ll be back in the starting lineup on Saturday. The events of last night are now in the past and we’ve got to move forward.

“I need to say this very clearly: He’s an extremely important part of our team. Our efforts to get to the highest possible level largely hinge on ... playing well with him. He needs to play well with us and we need to play well with him.

It’s a two-way street.” Carlisle said the suspension was “an organizational decision.”

Center Tyson Chandler was held out with a hip contusion and forward Amare Stoudemire was rested with the team playing on back-to-back days.

Forward Chandler Parsons was held out with a left ankle injury.

Acquired in a trade with

Boston in December to try to improve the playoff outlook for the Mavericks in the difficult Western Conference, Rondo hasn’t had an easy transition.

The four-time All-Star who won a title with the Celtics in 2008 was on the bench in the final minutes of a four-point loss to Chicago about a month after the trade and said afterward he didn’t have a problem with Carlisle’s decision.

“For us to get where we want to get his abilities have to be utilized by us the best possible way,” Carlisle said. “That’s in large part my responsibility and I do not dodge that.

And a lot of that starts with great communication with him. I’m always working on being a better communicator and we talked about it today.”

Hawk said he was looking forward to his next opportunity in the NFL, but would cherish his years as a Packer.

leased running back Reggie Bush on Wednesday, halfway through the fouryear deal he signed as a free agent before the 2013 season. Bush started 23 games for the Lions. He rushed for 1,006 yards in 2013, but this past season he had only 76 carries for 297 yards while slowed by injuries.

Bush, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2006 draft, turns 30 next week.

The Lions acquired Bush to provide some offensive balance for a team that had a dynamic passing game with quarterback Matthew Stafford and receiver Calvin Johnson.

In nine NFL seasons, Bush has started 94 games and has 1,266 carries for 5,465 yards and 35 touchdowns. He’s caught 466 passes for 3,489 yards and 18 TDs.

ment. He called Hawk a “durable and consistent contributor” to the team’s success. Hawk agreed to a pay cut two years ago after the Packers restructured his deal. He was scheduled to be paid $3.6 million in 2015 with an $800,000 roster bonus.
