Several names up for school board BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen is looking at several candidates for a seat on the Corinth School District Board of Trustees. The seat currently held by Ann Walker, board president, is up for appointment. Three nominations came to the table

— Walker, Lafayette Jourdan III and Rachele Taylor — but no second to the motion was made for any of the three. The attempt to make an appointment came with an unusual procedural twist. Three board members who have family members working in the school district recused themselves — Mayor Tommy Irwin

and Aldermen Chip Wood and Ben Albarracin, leaving Michael McFall to preside as mayor pro tem. Each of the remaining aldermen who could have voted nominated a different person. Alderman at Large Mike Hopkins nominated Walker, who has served several terms and is interested in being reappoint-

ed, he said. Ward 4 Alderman J.C. Hill nominated Lafayette Jourdan III, a retired businessman. Ward 1 Alderman Andrew “Bubba” Labas nominated Rachele Taylor, an engineer. After that stalemate, City Attorney Wendell Trapp said his research on this rare voting situation found that the board members who recused them-

selves could then participate in the vote. Those members returned to the board room and decided that they were not prepared to take action, with Irwin expressing a desire to interview the candidates. Trapp said the board is not bound by the prior nominaPlease see BOARD | 6A

Presented to the public at 2 p.m. on Sunday in the beautiful Franklin Courtyard, the benefit fashion preview will raise money to support a worthy cause. “All proceeds will benefit the

Oasis Medical Center. I’m so excited for the opportunity to raise money for them because my mom is a former volunteer there and I have seen first-hand what a difference they make,” said Molly Warren, co-owner of Sparkle Formal Wear. “It is something that is near and dear to my heart. I know all the ladies who work there and are so generous with their time. It’s nice to find a way to give back

to those who give so selflessly to others.” Excitedly making preparations, Warren said she looks forward to the moment when everything comes together. “I can’t wait to see it once everything is finished ... when the gowns, the accessories and the music all come together seamlessly,” she said. “It’s going to Please see FASHION | 3A

Snow, ice means careful winter car care BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Mother Nature is keeping the area on its toes. Recent snow and ice can wreak havoc for motorists when it comes to having their vehicle ready to travel in the winter weather. One thing area motorists need to make sure is in proper working order is wiper blades. Individuals can wear out a set of blades easily in the winter. “We sold seven totes of wiper

blades last week alone,” said Advance Auto Parts Assistant Manager Blakely Sanders. “We have also been out of deicer and salt since the beginning of last week.” Motorists were busy getting ready for the next round of winter weather on Tuesday at Advance Auto. Sanders changed five sets of wiper blades over a 30-minute period. “Most people wait too long to change their wiper blades,” said Sanders. “They never come in on a sunny day.”

Advance Auto Parts Assistant Manager Blakely Sanders was busy changing wiper blades for customers on Tuesday.

Advance Auto installs new wipers at no cost for their customers. Sanders urges drivers to turn on the defroster to get ride of ice on wiper blades. “It rips the rubber right off the blades when you turn them on and they are covered with ice,” he said. Deteriorated wipers produce an uneven wipe and prevent proper contact with the windshield surface, creating unwiped or streaky areas Please see CARS | 2A

Seniors will stop being required to pass exams BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Current seniors in Mississippi public schools could become the first in nearly 30 years to graduate without passing an exit exam. State Superintendent Carey Wright announced Tuesday before the Senate Education Committee that, while the department would continue giving subject-area exams in algebra, biology, English and U.S. history, it now would allow students to graduate without passing them. Instead, the tests would count for 20 percent to 30 percent of the student’s course grade.

Wright said the state Board of Education is likely to send a proposal out for public comment at its March meeting, with final adoption likely at its May meeting. She said if that happened, this year’s seniors who haven’t passed one or more tests could be cleared to graduate with their classmates. The superintendent made her announcement after the House passed a bill 119-0 that would abolish the test-passing requirement. That measure died Tuesday in the Senate committee at a legislative deadline, as Wright made her announcement. Senate Education Com-

mittee Chairman Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, said he believed it was better for the board to make the decision than for lawmakers to mandate it. A number of bills that intrude on traditional board powers of standard-setting and test selection were introduced in the Legislature this year. Wright said she made the decision to seek the change after a survey of 30 states. She denied making the move because of political pressure. “The test is still the test,” Wright said. “We’re still administering the test.” Mississippi began administering an exit exam

in 1986, when it adopted what was called the Functional Literacy Exam. It later switched to subjectarea tests administered after students took particular courses around 2000. Jennifer Dounay Zinth, who directs high school policy at the Education Commission of the States, said exit exams began in Southern states and spread to more than half the states. But Zinth said some other states are rolling exams into course grades or ending them altogether. Many local Mississippi superintendents have pushed to end the tests. “We think that one test

should not be the determining factor for a diploma,” said Sam Bounds, executive director of the Mississippi Association of School Superintendents. Many superintendents said a new requirement that all juniors take the ACT college exam is a better option to determine graduation readiness. All 35,000 public high school juniors statewide took the ACT Tuesday, under a $1.3 million program, but they don’t have to make a minimum score to graduate. In 2012, 90 percent of Mississippi’s 28,400 seniors passed all four tests on their first try. By the state’s count, 2,807

seniors lacked a passing score on one or more tests. Not all of those actually failed. Some are transfers who aren’t required to pass tests for classes they completed elsewhere. Others are special-education students who aren’t required to pass the tests. Students who fail a test have had optional routes to graduation since 2013, including reaching certain scores on the ACT; Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams; the test the U.S. military gives to recruits; and options aimed at students taking career or technical courses.

contact with the windshield surface, they can begin to squeak, chatter, skip, smear or streak reducing driving visibility. When inspecting wipers, motorists should look for: ■ Broken frame – detachment of frame arms at joints or connection

points. ■ Metal Corrosion – especially at joints and claws. ■ Visible cracks, tears and missing pieces in the rubber squeegee’s edge. ■ Flex rubber squeegee back and forth to see if it is still flexible. Aged squeegees will have difficulty conforming to the shape of your windshield and create streaks. ■ Check squeegee wiping edge for rounded edges which can prevent the wiper blade from making strong contact with the windshield and reduces wipe quality. ■ Tug to ensure wiper blade has been securely installed on the wiper arm. ■ Check that squeegee is secure in the wiper frame.

Today is Wednesday, March 4, the 63rd day of 2015. There are 302 days left in the year.

The Crossroads area’s fourth round of winter weather in as many weeks is forecast to hit this afternoon. The National Weather Service in Memphis issued a Winter Storm Warning for North Mississippi in effect from noon today through noon Thursday. Sleet and ice is expected with snow accumulations ranging

tioned International Chili Society (ICS) competition, which promises to draw more than 30 chili-cooking teams from around the country. The ICS is a nonprofit organization that sanctions chili cookoffs around the world for the benefit of charities and other nonprofit organizations. This year, funds raised from the People’s Choice portion of the local cookoff will benefit the Crossroads Museum. The People’s Choice competition allows the general public to sample and vote for its favorite chili. “Folks who want to try some of the best chili on earth can do so for very little while supporting a local nonprofit,” added Knight. “Anyone can enter chili in People’s Choice. It’s great for backyard cookers or local businesses.”

In 1789, the Constitution of the United States went into effect as the first Federal Congress met in New York. (The lawmakers then adjourned for lack of a quorum.) In 1861, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as the 16th president of the United States. The Confederate States of America adopted as its flag the original version of the Stars and Bars. In 1964, Teamsters president James Hoffa and three co-defendants were found guilty by a federal court of jury tampering.

A trio of individuals have been arrested on methamphetamine charges by the Alcorn Narcotics Unit. On Tuesday, officers took into custody Daniel Tyson Morrow, 34, of 152 County Road 333, Corinth and Angela Jourdan, 41, of the same address. The pair are charged with possession of two or more precursors with intent to manufacture methamphetamine. Bond for Morrow and Jourdan was set at $10,000 apiece. “Officers found a methamphetamine lab along with numerous items used to manufacture meth,” said Darrell Hopkins, an investigator with the unit. Other items such as syringes, pipes used to smoke meth, bags used to package meth, items used to inject or ingest meth were also found throughout the house. On Monday, the unit arrested Brian Kirk Wilson, 20, of 348 County Road 408, Corinth with felony possession of methamphetamine. According to Hopkins, Wilson was outside and attempted to hide a bottle containing methamphetamine when officers arrived. Deputy Shane Crowe retrieved the methamphetamine and Wilson was arrested. Bond was set at $3,000.

Corinth, Miss.

The honesty gap There may be some poetic justice in the recent revelation that Hillary Clinton, who has made big noises about a “pay gap” between women and men, paid the women on her Senate staff just 72 perThomas cent of what she paid the men. Sowell The Obama White House staff likewise has a pay gap between Columnist women and men, as of course does the economy as a whole. Does this mean that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both discriminate against women, that they are themselves part of the nefarious “war on women” that so many on the left loudly denounce? The poetic justice in the recent “pay gap” revelations is that the fundamental fraud in the statistics that are thrown around comes back to bite those who are promoting that fraud for political purposes. What makes such statistics fraudulent is that they are comparing apples and oranges. Innumerable studies, going back for decades, have shown that women do not average as many hours of work per year as men, do not have as many consecutive years of fulltime employment as men, do not work in the same mix of occupations as men and do not specialize in the same mix of subjects in college as men. Back in 1996, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that young male physicians earned 41 percent higher incomes than young female physicians. But the same study showed that young male physicians worked over 500 hours a year more than young female physicians. When the study took into account differences in hours of work, in the fields in which male and female doctors specialized and other differences in their job characteristics, “no earnings difference was evident.” In other words, when you compare apples to apples, you don’t get the “gender gap” in pay that you get when you compare apples to oranges. This is not peculiar to the medical profession. Nor was this a new revelation, even back in 1996. Many studies done by many scholars over the years – including female scholars – show the same thing, again and again. A breakdown of statistics in an old monograph of mine – “Affirmative Action in Academia” – showed the pay differential between women and men evaporating, or even reversing, as you compared individuals with truly comparable characteristics. This was back in 1975, forty years ago! There might have been some excuse for believing that income differences between women and men were proof of discrimination back in the 1960s. But there is no excuse for continuing to use misleading statistics in the 21st century, when their flaws have been exposed repeatedly and long ago. Many kinds of high-level and high-pressure careers require working 50 or 60 hours a week regularly, and women with children – or expecting to have children – seldom choose those kinds of careers. If you trace the actual history of women in high-level careers, you will find that it bears no resemblance to the radical feminist fable, in which advances began with the “women’s liberation” movement in the 1960s and new anti-discrimination laws. In reality, women were far better represented in professional occupations in the first three decades of the 20th century than in the middle of that century. Women received a larger share of the postgraduate degrees necessary for such careers in the earlier era than in the 1950s and 1960s. The proportion of women among the high achievers listed in “Who’s Who in America” in 1902 was more than double the proportion listed in 1958. The decline of women in highlevel careers occurred when women’s age of marriage and child-bearing declined during the mid-century “baby boom” years. The later rise of women began when the age of marriage and child-bearing rose again. In 1972 women again received as high a proportion of doctoral degrees as they had back in 1932. The truth is not nearly as politically useful as scare statistics. The “gender gap” is not nearly as big as the honesty gap. (Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com.)

Prayer for today Almighty God, may I not only approve of justice and kindness, but practice it. Grant that I may be attentive to the call of work and steadfast in completing it. May I be sincere to those who are dear to me, and never falter in my support to those who are dependent upon me. Amen.

A verse to share “And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.” 1 Kings 19:12

Hillary Clinton before the fall I have been thinking about the sin of pride lately, not because I suffer from it but because it plays such a large role in politics. At this point, the potential Republican presidential field doesn’t have to worry about pride. That’s because it has so little to be proud of. You see these Republican straw polls and cattle calls, and you come away asking: Which one was supposed to be the exciting one? Which one was supposed to be the smart one? Remind me again. Currently, the Democratic presidential field is largely limited to just one person, Hillary Clinton. She ought to be worrying a lot about pride, seeing as it helped do her in when she ran for president in 2008. In fact, she has a lot of things to worry about. She is not just the favorite, and she is not just the prohibitive favorite; she is the inevitable nominee. Except she’s not. If she falters in any of the first four contests -- Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina -- it will be viewed as a sign that she is a mere mortal, that she can be wounded, that she can lose. And other Democrats may feel the urgent need to enter the race to save the party.

Current polls tell her not to worry. But then, the polls told her that before. The top Roger headline on Simon the Drudge Report on Columnist Oct. 4, 2007, was: “Clinton has 33-point lead.” The political strategy of the Clinton camp was simple: She was going to win the nomination because the party owed Hillary the nomination, just as the country owed her the presidency. “There was an arrogance and insularity that was mind-blowing,” a top Hillary adviser told me in 2008. Which brings us to pride. One of Hillary’s key problems in the 2008 primary race was her refusal to apologize for her vote authorizing the Iraq War in 2002. All the other Democratic senators in the race who had voted for the war said their votes were wrong. But Hillary refused. She had too much pride. All she would say is: “Knowing what we know now, I would never have voted for it.” But she would not apologize. And from his very first day as a candidate, Barack Obama bashed her over the head with that. “Even at the time, it was possible to make

judgments that this would not work out well,” Obama said of Hillary’s Iraq War vote. (Obama had not been a senator in 2002, which made him one lucky guy.) Some Hillary advisers went to her and asked her to apologize for her war vote. She wouldn’t hear of it. “She didn’t want to apologize because she didn’t think she had made a mistake,” one of those advisers told me. Pride. Hubris. Even in Hollywood, where pride and hubris are like mother’s milk, there was irritation with Hillary. David Geffen, the multibillionaire Hollywood record executive and film producer, had raised $18 million for Bill Clinton in the old days but now was raising money for Obama. “It’s not a very big thing to say ‘I made a mistake on the war’ and typical of Hillary Clinton that she can’t,” Geffen told Maureen Dowd. In North Carolina in May 2008, a few weeks before the end of the primary season, Tom Vilsack, the former governor of Iowa and a Hillary supporter, sat in the back of a car with Bill Clinton. Vilsack remembers the former president looking for any ray of sunshine amid the gloom. “Even if she doesn’t win, they will know Hillary better and like her better,” Bill

Clinton finally said. “She’s a complex person. They just didn’t know her. If you know her, you just love her.” The odd thing about Bill’s statement is that Hillary has been in the public eye for decades. So why don’t we know her yet? Don’t worry; it’s coming, we are told. The new campaign will be bright and shiny, with more experienced operatives and a more organized staff. Which leaves just one problem: the candidate. Has she changed? Changing a political strategy is a lot easier than changing a personality. Hillary said last year: “The Bible was and remains the biggest influence on my thinking. I was raised reading it, memorizing passages from it and being guided by it.” So she must have read Proverbs 16:18: “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” All Hillary Clinton has to do is be Hillary Clinton, Bill tells us. We will get to know her, and then we will love her. And with a campaign strategy such as that, what could possibly go wrong?

People interested in history know their stuff BY WYATT EMMERICH The Northside-Sun

When I was asked to be the speaker at the Noxubee County Historical Society’s monthly meeting, I was a bit fearful. People interested in history know their stuff. They expect their speakers to be up to speed. I was asked to speak because my great-grandfather Dr. James Elbert Wyatt was the county doctor in Prairie Point, a hamlet in northeast Noxubee County, for many decades at the turn of the century. I felt confident enough to accept the speaking engagement because of a phone call I received about 15 years ago. The caller was a woman who had purchased the McComb home of my grandfather and grandmother. “There are all these old boxes in the attic,” the woman said. “I don’t feel right throwing them away. I think there’s some important family history in those boxes. Someone really needs to come and get them.” I called my Aunt Faye in

San Antonio but she was too far away. There was no one else nearby. I dropped my plans for the weekend and headed to McComb. Thank God for blessings. The boxes held a mother lode of irreplaceable family history. As I sorted through the photos, the letters, the documents chronicling our family’s history over generations, a glimmer of interest in genealogy began to glow. Over the years, little by little, I accumulated history about our family. It was a good thing. No one else in my family had the least bit of interest. Turns out my children are sixth generation Mississippians 29 times over. Twenty-nine of their 32 greatgreat-great-grandparents were Mississippians. They are seventh generation many times over as well. The Buntins of Coffeeville, the Knights of Covington County, the Tuckers of Natchez and the Porters of Port Gibson were all here when Mississippi was still a territory. Mississippians have a

greater sense of roots, tradition and history than perhaps any other state in the Union. So it is lagniappe that I became interested in genealogy and lagniappe that there was so much history to be discovered. The online archives of the Macon Beacon was a great help in reconstructing the life of Dr. Wyatt, his wife Fannie Eliza Doss and their 10 children. I was able to do a search for “Dr. James Elbert Wyatt” and retrieve dozens of articles and snippets in the newspaper chronicling different events in their lives. Sometimes when you research family history you stumble upon things you maybe didn’t want to know. For instance, I discovered my great-great-grandfather Captain Charlie Doss was leader of the Noxubee County Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction. Doss led the effort to terrorize blacks and reinstate white power. While I was doing this research, my own company was working with Ancestry. com to put the archives of

Gore picked for jury duty in Tennessee NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Even former vice presidents get called for jury duty. Davidson County, Tennessee, court officials say Al Gore reported and was ready to serve Monday, but he was dismissed because he had a scheduling conflict if the trial ran long. The Tennessean reports that Gore wore a suit when he walked through the doors of the Nashville courthouse and waited in line with 167 other people who also reported for jury duty. Trial Court Administrator Tim Townsend says the two-term vice president was mostly unrecognized until his name was called when about 30 prospective jurors went for screening for a breach-of-contract trial.

Stocks drop after Nasdaq hits 5,000 NEW YORK -- U.S. stock indexes closed slightly lower, pulling the Nasdaq composite index back below 5,000. The decline Tuesday came a day after the Nasdaq closed above that milestone for the first time since the dotcom era 15 years ago. The Nasdaq declined 28 points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,979. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 85 points, or 0.5 percent, to 18,203. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost nine points, or 0.5 percent, to 2,107. The Dow and S&P 500 closed at record highs the day before. Energy stocks rose as the price of oil recovered. Utilities also rose, but the other eight S&P 500 sectors fell.

Health care hearing questions officials NEW YORK -- New York City lawmakers have peppered city officials and company executives with questions about the quality of health care at Rikers Island jails. Councilman Corey Johnson told executives of Corizon Health Inc. at an oversight hearing Tuesday that he doesn’t have confidence in their leadership. The Brentwood, Tennessee-based company has a $126.6 million contract to provide health services to inmates in the nation’s second-largest jail system.

The Associated Press reported last year on more than a dozen inmate deaths since 2009 that raised questions about the timeliness and quality of care, and Johnson referred Tuesday to that report in his questioning. Corizon Chief Medical Officer Calvin Johnson said officials are committed to providing high quality care.

Parents to appeal finding of neglect SILVER SPRING, Md. -- A Maryland couple who were investigated by state officials after letting their children walk home from a park without an adult say they will appeal a finding of “unsubstantiated child neglect” and will continue to let the children walk by themselves. Danielle and Alexander Meitiv told local news outlets they learned about the finding in a letter last week. It means Child Protective Services will keep a file on the family for five years. Danielle Meitiv said she and her husband worry about being investigated again. “What will happen next time?” she asked. “We don’t know if we will get caught in this Kafkaesque loop again.” Officials began investigating in December when police officers picked up their 10-yearold son and 6-year-old daughter walking back to their Silver Spring home. The Meitivs said they are teaching selfreliance. They said they gradually let the children take walks on their own and they wouldn’t have allowed the outing to the park a mile from home if they didn’t believe they were capable.

Distributor sued after worker killed OREGON CITY, Ore. -- The family of a cleaning worker who was killed when he fell into a running industrial meat blender at an Oregon plant is suing the meat distributor for $5 million. The Oregonian reports that the lawsuit filed last week in Clackamas County Circuit Court accused Interstate Meat Distributors of failing to follow safety procedures. The 41-year-old man, Hugo Avalos-Chanon of Portland, was working for a cleaning contractor in April 2013 when the machine turned on

and he was pulled into the equipment legs first. There were no eyewitnesses, but fellow workers heard his screams. The president of Interstate Meat Distributors, Darrin Hoy, has been asked by phone and email to comment on the lawsuit.

Foreign recruiter gets prison time MIAMI -- A South Florida man who admitted to recruiting foreign baseball players for the operators of a steroiddispensing clinic has been sentenced to prison followed by house arrest. U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga agreed with the attorney for Juan Carlos Nunez that his part in the conspiracy was minimal compared with others’. Nunez will serve three months behind bars and three months on house arrest. Nunez admitted in court last year that he brought professional ballplayers from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela to Anthony Bosch and the now-closed Biogenesis of America in Coral Gables. Fourteen baseball players including New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez were suspended in the drug scandal. Nunez said he used his position at a New York-based sports representation agency, ACES Inc., to connect with foreign players.

Mayor says public can’t ask questions EVESHAM, N.J. -- A New Jersey mayor has banned the public from asking questions at township council meetings. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Evesham Mayor Randy Brown began the policy this year. He is also the kicking coach for the Baltimore Ravens. It came after a tense meeting in December in which a resident asked about a tax abatement. Brown spoke over the question. The questioner, 81-year-old Kenneth Mills, told Brown, “You’re acting like a jerk.” Since then, the council has allowed only public comments, not questions, at meetings. The Republican mayor has said he may run for governor in 2017. He tells the Inquirer that most residents ask him questions in other settings.

Judge denies appeal in child enticement OXFORD -- A federal judge has dismissed the appeal of a man sentenced to 10 years in prison for trying to entice a 15-year-old for sex. Damion Lundy was convicted in 2010 of using the Internet and cellphone text messaging to try to persuade a minor to have sex with him. Court records show that the girl with whom Lundy was communicating was an undercover Lee County sheriff’s deputy. Lundy was arrested in Tupelo when he arrived to meet the girl. WTVA-TV in Tupelo reports Lundy argues in his latest appeal that an expert would have testified that chat transcripts, emails and communications could have been manipulated. On Monday, a federal judge says there is no evidence that such testimony would have persuaded a jury of Lundy’s innocence.

OSHA: Man killed in accident untrained GUNTOWN -- A federal agency says the company that employed a worker who was electrocuted in an October accident in Guntown failed to provide him with required safety training. In a Tuesday news release, the Department of Labor said the training could have saved the life of 46-year-old Marvin Reece. Reece was a maintenance worker at H.M. Richards Inc., a furniture upholstery manufacturer. Authorities said he was electrocuted Oct. 1 as he disconnected wiring on a saw. The department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigators said the lack of training was one of nine violations of safety standards at the scene. The company faces $55,100 in proposed penalties, although that could be reduced through a settlement or formal appeal.

2 officers charged with grand larceny JACKSON -- Jackson police have charged two of their own with grand larceny. Two 25-year-olds, Willis Thomas and Rodney Vaughn, have been fired from the Jackson police force and charged in connection with the theft of two trailers from a Jackson business. Police said the recent theft of the two trailers from Airlock Insulation in Jackson was caught on a surveillance camera A judge set bond Monday at $75,000 for each defendant. Chief Lee Vance said the trailers were valued at around $60,000.

2nd of 3 men pleads guilty in murder case HATTIESBURG -- The second of three men indicted for capital murder in the shooting death of a Hattiesburg man pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder. Forrest County Circuit Court Judge Robert Helfrich sentenced David Allen Fairley on Monday to 35 years in prison, with 22 years to serve, for his involvement in a home invasion in 2013 that left Robert Williams Jr. dead. The Hattiesburg American reports Fairley, Derrick Lamont Bolton Jr. and Daylon Carl Waldrop were indicted in August on charges of capital

murder, conspiracy and kidnapping. Bolton pleaded guilty to a reduced seconddegree murder charge last week and received the same sentence from Helfrich.

Re-sentencing date scheduled in murder HATTIESBURG -- The re-sentencing of death row inmate Roger Lee Gillett is scheduled for Nov. 16 in Forrest County Circuit Court. WDAM-TV reports Gillett was in court Monday. The Mississippi Supreme Court last year overturned Gillett’s death sentence for killing a cousin and the cousin’s girlfriend and taking their bodies to Kansas. It upheld his conviction. The Supreme Court found in Gillett’s case that an attempt to escape from a Kansas prison should not have been presented as an aggravating factor for sentencing. Gillett and his girlfriend, Lisa Jo Chamberlin, were arrested in Kansas after state police looking for meth evidence at his father’s abandoned farmhouse found dismembered bodies in a freezer. Both were sentenced to death for capital murder.

Man pleads guilty to federal charges GULFPORT -- A South Mississippi man has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of possession of child pornography. The Sun Herald reports a federal grand jury in January indicted 48-yearold Timothy Winfred Miller on possession and distribution of child pornography.

His sentencing is set for May 15 before District Judge Sul Ozerden.

Ex-CIA chief admits sharing classified data Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Former CIA Director David Petraeus, whose career was destroyed by an affair with his biographer, has agreed to plead guilty to charges he gave her classified material — including war strategy and the names of covert operatives — while she was working on the book. The plea agreement carries a possible sentence of up to a year in prison and represents another blow to the reputation of the retired four-star Army general who led U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and was perhaps the most admired military leader of his generation. Petraeus, 62, will plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material. The agreement was filed in federal court Tuesday in Charlotte, where Paula Broadwell, the general’s biographer and former mistress, lives with her husband and children. In court papers, prosecutors recommended two years of probation and a $40,000 fine. But the judge who hears the plea is not bound by that and could still impose a prison sentence. No immediate date was set for Petraeus to enter the plea. As part of the deal, Petraeus agreed not to contest the set of facts laid out by the government. Prosecutors said that while Broadwell was writing her book in Washington in 2011, Petraeus gave her eight binders of classified material he had improperly kept from his time as the top military commander in Afghanistan. Days later, he took the binders back to his house. Among the secret information contained in the “black books” were the names of covert operatives, the coalition

war strategy and notes about Petraeus’ discussions with President Barack Obama and the National Security Council, prosecutors said. Those binders were later seized by the FBI in a search of Petraeus’ Arlington, Virginia, home, where he had kept them in the unlocked drawer of a desk in a groundfloor study. Prosecutors said that after resigning from the CIA, Petraeus signed a form falsely attesting he had no classified material. He also lied to FBI agents in denying he supplied the information to Broadwell, according to court documents. Petraeus’ lawyer declined to comment. A telephone message left for Broadwell was not immediately returned. Her lawyer said he had no comment. Petraeus admitted having an affair with Broadwell when he resigned as CIA director in November 2012. Both have publicly apologized and said their romantic relationship began only after he had retired from the military. Broadwell’s admiring biography of him, “All In: The Education of David Petraeus,” came out in 2012, before the affair was exposed. He held the CIA post less than a year, not long enough to leave a significant mark on the spy agency. A Ph.D. with a reputation as a thoughtful strategist, Petraeus wrote the Army manual on counterinsurgency and was brought in by President George W. Bush to command multinational forces in Iraq in 2007, a period when the war began to turn in favor of the U.S. Petraeus presided over the “surge” of American forces in Iraq and a plan to pay Sunni militias to fight al-Qaida in Iraq.

Homeless man killed by police served time The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES â€” A homeless man killed on Skid Row by Los Angeles police had been released last May from a federal prison after serving roughly 14 years for bank robbery, a law enforcement official said Tuesday. The man was identified as Charley Saturmin Robinet by the official who had been briefed but was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Robinet was a French national who was convicted in 2000 of three federal charges for holding up a Wells Fargo branch and pistol-whipping an employee to pay for acting classes at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. Federal prison records show he was released on May 12. Robinet acknowledged 15 years ago that he was in the U.S. illegally but his immigration status at the time of his death is unknown. He was arrested in the bank robbery along with an accomplice and a getaway

driver after they tried to rob the bank in Thousand Oaks, some 40 miles west of downtown Los Angeles. Robinet was killed Sunday after a confrontation with police. Authorities say he tried to grab a probationary officerâ€™s gun and three officers fatally shot him. The three officers who fired their weapons in a videotaped struggle that left a homeless man dead were veterans of the Skid Row beat who had special training to deal with mentally ill and other people in the downtrodden area, police leaders said. But a rookie officer who cried out that the man had his gun, leading to the shooting, had considerably less experience, and police didnâ€™t immediately say how much training he had received in dealing with mentally ill people. All officers must go through at least an 11hour course. Police Chief Charlie Beck said some of the veteran officers had â€œcompleted our most extensive mental illness training over a 36-hour course.â€?

Con artists take money and run his background as the film progresses. Of course, he falls in love with Jess. The reader will just have to watch the film in order to find out just exactly what happens. I will not give away much of the plot, because it would ruin the fun of watching the film. â€œFocusâ€? has a reason for its title. We cannot multitask and stay focused. As Nicky trains Jess, he uses some excellent ways to relieve individuals of their money. He is so smooth with his talents the individuals getting hoodwinked do not realize what is happening. The film moves forward three years to Buenos Aires where a Grand Prix race is about to begin. Of course, Nicky is there to help relieve money from the owners and drivers of the Grand Prix race cars. I have been a Grand Prix fan for many moons. I kept up with the Grand Prix circuit for a long time. I wish there had been more about

Focus, R. ***, Will Smith, Margot Robbie. Directors Glenn Ficarra, John Requa. Kramer and Sigma films. Length 105 minutes. The lyrics by The Rolling Stones â€œSympathy for the Devilâ€? will certainly give the audience what this group of con artists has on Terry their mind, and Burns they are excellent at stealing billfolds, Movie Critic necklaces and everything worth money. Nicky (Will Smith) is the leader of a group of con artists. He meets Jess (Margot Robbie), and he trains her to become a pickpocket along with any other way to steal. Nicky has the talent and ability to use his con knowledge to steal a great deal of money and high priced items. He learned his con artist skills from his father. The audience will learn more about

the cars and racing, but the film was interesting. This is where some surprises take place as the story progresses. I am not going to give away much of what happens in Buenos Aires. There are some surprises that would be totally uncalled for if the reader is going to watch this movie. I do not like to give away very much information. I know a review has to tell a little about the story, but I am refraining from overdoing the plot with too much information. Is there honor among thieves? I think we all know that a thief is a thief, and generally honor is not a part of their total way of life. â€œFocusâ€? is a fun movie. It is not a great film, but if entertainment is what the reader is looking to watch, it just might be worth 105 minutes. (Terry Burns is the movie critic for the Daily Corinthian.

BOSTON â€” In the two years since twin bombs tore through crowds at the Boston Marathon finish line, the case against suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has focused on arguments over where his trial should be held, who should sit on the jury and what evidence prosecutors should be allowed to use. But starting Wednesday, a day after a jury was selected, the focus will shift dramatically from the legal process to the harsh reality of what happened that day: the explosions, the screams, the chaos and the blood. Prosecutors are expected to present graphic images of the carnage caused by the bombs, including a surveillance video that authorities say shows Tsarnaev placing a backpack just feet from 8-year-old Martin Richard and his family. The boy died in the explosion. The bombs set April 15, 2013, killed three people and injured more than 260. At least 16 people lost limbs. â€œI have closure in my life. Iâ€™m happy. I have a second chance at life, and Iâ€™m living it,â€? said Gerry Leone, a former state and federal prosecutor who led the prosecution of shoe bomber Richard Reid but is not involved in the Tsarnaev case. â€œIt wouldnâ€™t surprise me to see the young boyâ€™s parents as the first witnesses. Oftentimes, in a homicide case, you humanize the victims right away, and youâ€™re brought right back to that day,â€? Leone said. A blast from the second bomb killed Martin and tore off his 7-year-old sisterâ€™s left leg. Lingzi Lu, 23, a Boston University graduate student, was also killed by that blast. Krystal Campbell, a 29-yearold restaurant manager from Medford, was killed by the first bomb. Authorities say Tsarnaev, then 19, and his older brother, Tamerlan, 26â€” ethnic Chechens who had lived in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan and the volatile Dagestan region of Russia â€” carried out the bombings to retaliate

Gerry Leone Former federal prosecutor against the U.S. for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The brothers came to the U.S. with their parents and two sisters about a decade before the bombings. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following a shootout with police several days after the bombings. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, now 21, faces 30 federal charges in the bombings and in the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer days later. Seventeen of the charges carry the possibility of the death penalty. Some bombing survivors have said they plan to attend the trial; others say they have no desire to be there. â€œItâ€™s not something I feel I need to do,â€? said Jarrod Clowery, who suffered burns and shrapnel wounds. â€œI have closure in my life. Iâ€™m happy. I have a second chance at life, and Iâ€™m living it.â€? Clowery was watching the marathon with his friends, Paul and J.P. Norden, when the bombs exploded. The Nordens each lost a leg. The Norden brothers also plan to stay away from the trial, but their mother, Liz, plans to be there every day. The trial is expected to last three to four months. â€œItâ€™s important to me. I take it personally, what happened to my family,â€? she said. In addition to the video, prosecutors also plan to show jurors what they call a confession Tsarnaev scrawled inside the boat he was hiding in. â€œThe US Government is killing

our innocent civilians but most of you already know that. ... I canâ€™t stand to see such evil go unpunished. We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all,â€? the note allegedly says. â€œStop killing our innocent people and we will stop.â€? Tsarnaevâ€™s lawyers have made it clear that they plan to depict Tamerlan Tsarnaev as the mastermind of the attack and a powerful force in his brotherâ€™s life. Legal analysts say portraying Tamerlan as a coercive influence will likely not be enough to win Dzhokhar an acquittal but could be a significant piece of the defense argument against the death penalty. After the guilt phase of the trial, the same jury will decide whether he should be sentenced to life in prison without parole or the death penalty. The jury was chosen Tuesday after nearly two months of jury selection. The all-white panel consists of 10 women and eight men, including a self-employed house painter, an air traffic controller, a former emergency room nurse and an executive assistant at a law firm. Tsarnaev may also get some help from his family. One of his sisters, Ailina Tsarnaeva, plans to attend at least part of the trial. Liz Norden said she canâ€™t quite put her finger on why she feels such a strong need to be there. â€œItâ€™s not about going and looking evil in the eye and seeing him. I realize I will never get the answers, but itâ€™s just very important to me that I go and see.â€?

Hiring survey Payroll processor ADP releases today its latest survey of hiring by U.S. companies. The January survey showed companies added fewer jobs than in the previous month. The pace of employment growth has been slowing. As a result of falling oil prices, many energy companies have been cutting jobs. Others have been slower to increase hiring. Even so, some economists predict that hiring picked up last month.

Rough quarter?

The Federal Reserveâ€™s latest Beige Book may offer clues on how Fed officials will size up the U.S. economy. The report, due out today, represents a snapshot of business conditions in each of the central bankâ€™s 12 regional bank districts. In Januaryâ€™s Beige Book, the districts reported modest or moderate growth, helped by gains of sales of autos and other consumer products. But the big drop in oil prices was beginning to have an impact on Texas and other energy regions.

Wall Street forecasts that Abercrombie & Fitchâ€™s fourth-quarter earnings and revenue declined versus a year earlier. The teen clothing retailer has been struggling to lift sales as tastes and fashion trends change. It has stripped its once-prized Abercrombie logo off more products, but the efforts havenâ€™t born fruit. Longtime CEO Michael Jeffries abruptly retired in December. The company reports its latest financial results today.
