School bus, DUI suspect collide

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The quick reaction of a Corinth School District bus driver prevented any injuries in a Wednesday morning accident in front of Corinth High School.

“If the bus driver hadn’t taken the action he did, he would have hit the vehicle dead-on,” said Captain Landon Tucker with the Corinth Police Department.

Brett Butler, 43, of Corinth, was dropping his child off at

CHS when he turned in front of the bus, which was heading north on Harper Road.

The bus hit the vehicle on the passenger side quarter panel.

“The bus driver did a good job of avoiding the car,” added

Tucker of the accident ,which happened around 8 a.m.

Butler was charged with driving under the influence and child endangerment. Butler’s blood alcohol level was .24 – three times over the legal limit.

Only one person was in Butler’s vehicle, while two children were on the school bus.

Also assisting at the wreck scene were Lt. Lane Fowler, Sgt. Chad Harville and officer Jeremy Barnes.

Storm warning brings flooding

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

On the heels of another winter storm, heavy rainfall created flooding issues throughout the city on Wednesday.

Street Commissioner Philip Verdung said his crews were out in the streets all day trying to manage the known areas prone to flooding.

“Because of the constant rain, ice and snow we have had over the last few weeks, the ground has remained mostly saturated,” said Verdung. “We haven’t been able to catch a break.”

Several roads were barricaded off during the peak of the rainfall, while city employees were seen working to help move clogged water in drains in the downtown area.

Verdung said he had been preparing for these two weather events for several days.

“We saw the weather and knew we would be getting a lot of rain followed quickly by ice and snow,” he said. “We’ve been working and planning and it’s not over. I’m worried this may end up being one of toughest storms as far as we’re concerned. We’ll definitely be up all night.”

The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning in effect through noon today bringing the threat of more winter weather, including ice and sleet and snow accumulations of 1 to 4 inches.

On Oak Lane, neighbors have been airing concerns of flooding issues for months.

“When it barely rains, we have problems,” said resident Josh Steen. “It’s beyond time that something is done.”

Verdung addressed the issue quickly.

K.C. Arnold is ready to give special needs adults a night they won’t forget.

The Corinth native has organized “Jesus Prom” to give mentally and physically disabled adults something they might have never experienced before.

“I got involved with it in Lexington, Kentucky,” said Arnold. “It was the most rewarding thing I have done.”

Southland Christian Church started the event based on Luke 14:12-14 which states: Then he turned to his host.

“When you put on a luncheon or a banquet,” he said, “don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors.

For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you.”

“Most special needs adults didn’t go to a main stream

school or to the prom,” said Arnold. “Society tends to forget about them … we want to love on them during prom and let them have a great night.”

“Jesus Prom” will be held Saturday, March 7 at Crosswind Ministry. The evening begins at 5 p.m. with prom photos taken.

“Different churches are coming together to make it happen,” said Arnold. “Everyone is excited and wants to be involved.”

Following the photo time, there will be a dinner and games for those attend. A deejay will also be on hand with plenty of music for dancing.

The age limit is 18 and up and there is no cost to attend.

“It will be a lot of fun,” said Arnold. “It’s amazing to see all of the fun they have.”

House, Senate differ on reorganization of corrections office

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi House members want to authorize new Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher to reorganize the department’s central office and fire some employees without regard to civil service status.

However, when the House passed Senate Bill 2804 Wednesday, it didn’t go as far as the Senate, which wants to allow Fisher that power over all the department’s employees.

Fisher wants the ability to shift people around in the whole agency, as well as lay people off.

The amended version would only authorize Fisher to fire roughly 100 central office employees for two years through June 30, 2017. “The commissioner just wants a little bit of time to do a little bit of restructuring,� said Rep Angela Cockerham, DMagnolia.

The bill requires the commissioner to con-

sult with Attorney General Jim Hood’s office before firing someone.

Cockerham said that should guarantee that any firings are done in compliance with state and federal law. “The commissioner has good intentions,�

Cockerham said. “He’s not trying to go after specific people.�

Department spokeswoman Grace Fisher said, “In the last year we have been experiencing a drop in the inmate population but an increase in the number of offenders or ex-offenders being supervised in the community. If this trend continues, we likely will need to shift more resources to community corrections.�

Some Democrats voted against the bill because they oppose allowing agencies to fire people without going through state Personnel Board procedures.

The House and Senate must work out their differences in conference before the bill can move ahead.

Mississippi Power notes new Kemper overrun Associated Press

JACKSON — Southern Co. announced Tuesday that it projects at least another $26 million in spending to complete its construction of a power plant in eastern Mississippi, pushing the total cost to nearly $6.2 billion.

It’s unclear right now how Mississippi Power Co., a unit of Atlantabased Southern, will pay for the plant it’s building in Kemper County.

The state Supreme Court on Feb. 12 struck down previous financing arrangements. The company says it will ask the court to reconsider that ruling, which ordered more than $200 million in refunds and instructed regulators to roll back an 18 percent rate increase they’d approved.

A two-member majority of the Public Service Commission wants the Mississippi? Supreme Court to reconsider the motion as well, discussion at a Tuesday meet-

ing showed. Northern District Commissioner Brandon Presley moved to not seek rehearing, but his motion died for lack of a second vote.

Southern District Commissioner Steve Renfroe said the regulators would like to preserve the previous framework, worked out in closed-door settlement talks that the high court lambasted as illegal. That’s because the settlement said customers would pay $2.4 billion of the plant’s price, plus pay for up to another $1 billion in bonds that Mississippi Power wouldn’t make a profit on. That didn’t count additional hundreds of millions for costs of a lignite mine and pipelines.

In any event, customers could have to pay some of the charges announced Tuesday should regulators approve. The charges are interest on the project, and are outside the cost cap.

Execution drug secrecy debated Associated Press

JACKSON — Lawyers for Mississippi’s prison system asked a judge to declare that the name of any pharmacy that supplies a crucial execution drug is a secret that must not be revealed publicly.

But those seeking that information say such secrecy violates the state’s public records law. They demand the Department of Corrections release the information. “If we’re entitled to it under the clear terms of the Public Records

Act, then we should get these documents,� said Jim Craig, a lawyer for the Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center. That legal group filed a records request in November seeking information about Mississippi’s execution drugs and death penalty procedures.

Both sides made their case Monday before Hinds County Chancery Judge Denise Owens, who says she will rule soon on the issue.

Special Assistant Attorney General Paul Barnes

tial, privileged or exempt.

Craig said such an interpretation “eviscerates� the public records act.

The argument comes as Attorney General Jim Hood is pressing state lawmakers to approve a bill cloaking many aspects of Mississippi executions in secrecy. House Bill 1305 would do much more than just conceal the name of the pharmacy. It would make the names of the executioner and anyone “assisting in the execution in any capacity� exempt from public disclosure.

ways including Harper Road, Cass Street, Fulton Street, Proper Street and Shiloh Road.

Potholes are formed when water seeps into cracks and freezes. As ice has more volume than liquid, it acts as a wedge and breaks the pavement apart. Salt and other icemelters laid down by road crews can often accelerate the process.

The matter can be exacerbated if crews aren’t able to fix the potholes quickly enough because of weather or other delays.

Verdung said some of the larger potholes around town are due to the current sewer assessment project. “As the sewer assessment crews find problems, they dig up the street to repair those problems, which has been creating potholes that because of the weather can only be filled with gravel or dirt at this time,� added Verdung.

Today in History

Daily Corinthian • 3

Across the Region Public hearing set on garbage ordinance

Today is Thursday, March 5, the 64th day of 2015. There are 301 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people.

On this date: In 1766, Antonio de Ulloa arrived in New Orleans to assume his duties as the first Spanish governor of the Louisiana Territory, where he encountered resistance from the French residents.

In 1868, the Senate was organized into a Court of Impeachment to decide charges against President Andrew Johnson, who was later acquitted.

In 1933, in German parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote; the Nazis joined with a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag.

In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri.

In 1955, Elvis Presley made his television debut on “Louisiana Hayride” carried by KSLA-TV Shreveport (although audio recordings exist, there is no known video footage of this appearance).

In 1960, Cuban newspaper photographer Alberto Korda took the now-famous picture of guerrilla leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara during a memorial service in Havana for victims of a ship explosion. Elvis Presley was discharged from the U.S. Army.

In 1963, country music performers Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins died in the crash of their plane, a Piper Comanche, near Camden, Tennessee, along with pilot Randy Hughes (Cline’s manager).

In 1970, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons went into effect after 43 nations ratified it.

In 1979, NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe flew past Jupiter, sending back photographs of the planet and its moons.

In 1982, comedian John Belushi was found dead of a drug overdose in a rented bungalow in Hollywood; he was 33.

In 1994, a jury in Pensacola, Florida, convicted anti-abortion activist Michael F. Griffin of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Dr. David Gunn; Griffin was immediately sentenced to life in prison.

BOONEVILLE — A public hearing is set for Tuesday, March 24 at 6 p.m. at Booneville city hall for citizens to give their opinions on the garbage ordinance which sets specific rules and regulations for the type, use and placement of residential garbage receptacles in the city.

The law was given initial approval during the boards last regular meeting on a 3-2 vote with Aldermen Jason Michael, Harold Eaton and David Bolen in favor and Aldermen Jeff Williams and Mark McCoy opposed.

The proposed ordinance requires residents to only place their garbage at the road for pickup in approved containers.

ordinance and could also be ordered to pay restitution for any costs incurred in cleaning up any garbage that is strewn onto someone’s else’s property. The ordinance will be enforced by law enforcement, the city building inspector, the city animal control officer and any other official with law enforcement authority in the city.

Discussion of setting the public hearing brought new debate from aldermen on the proposal and the board ultimately agreed to hear from the public at the hearing and then consider any needed changes.

Eaton said he has heard concerns from residents about the time period containers are allowed to be at the road.

Williams repeated his concerns from the previous meeting regarding the costs involved

for residents and said he’s heard from several citizens who would prefer to pay slightly more on their garbage bills to receive a city issued receptacle than to have to purchase garbage cans complying with the ordinance.

McCoy also said he believes providing containers through the city’s waste services provider would be the better move.

Michael said he believes the long-term costs for providing containers through the waste services provider are much greater than the cost for citizens to purchase containers.

He said the main focus of the ordinance is to deal with unsightly trash bins and other public health and safety concerns and the ordinance is needed no matter how the receptacles are provided.

Bill: Only 1 hospital to follow open-meetings act

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Only one publicly owned hospital in Mississippi would be required to abide by the state open-meetings and public-records laws, under a watered-down version of a bill that passed a House committee Tuesday.

Senate Bill 2407 was prompted by massive problems with the employee pension plan at Singing River Hospital in Jackson County, and that’s the only hospital remaining in the latest version of the bill, which now goes to the full House for debate.

The Senate voted 51-0 on Feb. 12 to pass a broader version of the bill, which would have ap-

plied to all public hospitals.

The Mississippi Press Association supports the broad version of the bill, saying the public should have access to meetings and records that show how tax dollars are being spent.

“Transparency should apply to all public hospitals, not just the ones that have been put in a corner for naughty behavior,” Layne Bruce, the press association’s executive director, said in a statement Tuesday.

The Mississippi Hospital Association opposes making any hospital subject to transparency laws. The group’s president and CEO, Tim Moore, said in a statement Tuesday that he appreciates the House committee’s

decision to limit the scope of the bill.

“The hospital association continues to support exclusion of public hospitals from the Open Meetings Act,” Moore said. “This is not a stand against transparency but a stand to preserve a level playing field for public hospitals in a very competitive environment.”

Rep. John Read, R-Gautier, said some legislators didn’t want to make any public hospital follow the transparency laws.

“The hospital association has clout,” Read said after the House committee meeting Tuesday.

Under the Senate version of the bill, boards of public hospitals would be able to close

Civil rights landmark bridge named for reputed KKK leader Associated Press

SELMA, Ala. — When the nation’s first black president steps onto the Edmund Pettus Bridge to honor the marchers beaten there 50 years ago, he’ll be standing on a structure that’s at once synonymous with the civil rights struggle and a tribute to a reputed Ku Klux Klan leader.

The latter fact had all but faded from local memory until recently, when a Selma student group launched an online petition to rename the landmark bridge.

During his 50th anniversary address Saturday, President Barack Obama will be flanked on one side by a new historic marker commemorating “Bloody Sunday,” when white police beat demonstrators marching for black voting rights on March 7, 1965. The sign, erected earlier this year by the state tourism department, notes Obama’s 2007 appearance there just before his election and the accolades for “Selma,” the recent film about the march.

It offers no details about Edmund Winston Pettus, a Confederate general and U.S. senator who lived in Selma after the Civil War. The Encyclopedia of Alabama, an online database sponsored by the University of Alabama, Auburn University and the Alabama Department of Education, says Pettus held the title of grand dragon of the Alabama Klan in 1877 — an assertion that’s questioned by some historians.

meetings for the same reasons that city councils or other public boards can close them, including discussion of litigation, personnel matters and the purchase or sale of land. Patients’ medical information would remain confidential, even if public hospitals eventually are told to follow the open-meetings and public-records laws.

It is unclear whether the full House will agree to the updated version of the bill. If it does, the bill is most likely headed to a final round of negotiations between the two chambers, and it could be changed there.

bridge, a billboard erected recently bears a heroic image of another Confederate general, Klan founder Nathan Bedford Forrest. The ad, sponsored by a group dedicated to honoring Forrest, invites visitors to see Selma’s “War Between the States” historic sites; next month is the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Selma, in which Forrest fought.

As the “Bloody Sunday” anniversary approaches, a student group in Selma is petitioning to rename the bridge, whose twin metal arches soar above the murky Alabama River. The online petition, addressed to Selma Mayor George Patrick Evans and to the National Parks Service, has been up for about two weeks.

It does not propose a new name for the bridge.

John Gainey, executive director of Students UNITE, a racially integrated youth group that began the petition, said having a white supremacist’s name attached to the city’s most visible landmark illustrates the city’s deep racial divisions a half-century after the marchers were beaten at the bridge.

However, Selma historian Alston Fitts doubts Pettus had anything to do with the KKK. Although the city was a hub of racial animus in the 1960s, Selma was known as a “safe place” for blacks aligned with liberal Republicans after the Civil War during Reconstruction partly because of a lack of Klan activity, he said.

“He was a pretty lousy Klan leader if that’s what he was,” said Fitts.

Associated Press

JACKSON — When word began to spread about a proposed ban on a popular type of ammunition, the market responded faster than a speeding bullet.

“I think it was gone the day people heard about it,” Tim Sternberg of Dad’s Super Pawn in Gulfport said.

The buying spree resulted from a proposal by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms which would ban the sale of 5.56 caliber SS109 and M855 “green tip” ammunition commonly used in the modular AR15 platform semi-automatic rifles.

Originally developed for military purposes and capable of penetrating body armor, the ammunition in question has been exempt from classification as armor piercing because it is primarily used and designed for rifles. Current armor penetrating regulations outlaw certain types of handgun ammunition, but it does not apply to rifle ammunition.

The BATF proposal explains that the firearm industry has now developed semi-automatic handguns designed to shoot what

has been historically rifle ammunition.

According to the BATF, that not only increases danger to law enforcement officers, it places “green tips” in the armor piercing category.

With its affordable price and popularity at shooting ranges, the supply disappeared. Sternberg said the 30-40 cases in his store sold within a week.

Jamey Ray at Van’s Sporting Goods and Deer Processing in Brandon witnessed a similar scenario.

“It only took a week once the word got out to sell what we sold,” Ray said.

“We’re out now.”

And he does not expect to receive any soon.

“There is no distribution of it right now,” Ray said.

With that source of ammunition depleted, the demand for other 5.56 ammunition and its civilian counterpart, the .223 Remington, has also escalated.

“It’s still going fast,” Sternberg said. “It’s flying off the shelves also.”

Though selling at a heightened level, both Ray and Sternberg said alternative 5.56 and .223 ammunition remain available for now.

Corinth, Miss.

Kissing cousins in the Creole World ST. FRANCISVILLE, La. — Fine art photographer Richard Sexton of New Orleans is an erudite, elegant man whose sartorial care adds to his polished presentation. I admire his work.

Rheta He is here at the eighth anJohnson nual Writers and Readers Symposium to discuss “Creole Columnist World, Photographs of New Orleans and the Latin Caribbean Sphere,” his latest big, beautiful book with illuminating essays and images, not to mention paper quality to covet. You could build a coffee table around it.

Richard Sexton needs no introduction, as they say about celebrities. His 1993 book “New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence” has sold 100,000 copies to date, reportedly making it the most popular photo book ever about that fair city.

Richard humbly says that maybe the book stood out because it was the first one that “didn’t have cast iron or white columns” on the cover – or between the covers. In other words, he avoided photographic cliches.

Richard wanted it to be more about the history, tradition and religion of the place, told in arresting images that translate as stories.

When I look at my well-worn copy of “Elegance and Decadence” I always think of the poem “Ars Poetica” by Archibald MacLeish.

It instructs the poet on how to capture major moments with small objects. “For all the history of grief/An empty doorway and a maple leaf.”

Truly good photographers do the same thing. There’s this photo in “Creole World” that illustrates my point. In a collapsing building in Panama, a dangerously slumping balcony strung with a full clothesline is shading a baby left in an infant chair on the sidewalk below. Your eye goes from the bright clothes and profuse vines to the structural fragilities and finally to the child.

The single photograph is a complete novel, a page-turner, refine your own plot.

I would love his books even if Richard had not grown up in my birthplace, Colquitt, Ga. But that fact makes me inordinately proud, and I have to share it with anyone who will listen.

Whenever I see his books, or find one of his prints in a fancy gallery on Royal Street, I practically tremble with joy. Something about his rearing in that rural and seductive land of my forbearers must have informed his approach to art. At least that’s my theory.

When he was 20, Richard left Colquitt in his Datsun station wagon “bound for South America, driving to Panama and then traveling by bus, train and plane as far as Bolivia before turning back to retrace my steps ...,” he writes in “Creole World.”

That trip not only introduced him to New Orleans, immersed him in photography and made him a seasoned traveler, it also “forged an enduring relationship” with Latin America.

Richard would return to New Orleans to live 17 years later. And he saw the same sights he’d seen on that first trip, the one to Latin America and the Caribbean. “New Orleans, I came to learn, is unique in that it is the United States’ sole outpost of the Creole world,” he writes.

The elegance and decadence of New Orleans is unique to the United States. But it has cultural cousins in the larger Creole world.

Prayer for today My Father, my soul sinks with shame when I think of the great moments that I have given over to mean little things. Help me that I may reckon more on the value of time, and live not to tolerate life, but to have a great need for it, that day by day I may have a deeper consciousness of its appropriate use. Amen.

Best of times or worst of times?

Last week, John Kerry seemed to be auditioning for the role of Dr. Pangloss.

Despite jihadi violence across the Middle East and ISIS terror in Iraq and Syria, Kerry told Congress, we live in “a period of less daily threat to Americans and to people in the world than normally – less deaths, less violent deaths today than through the last century.”

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper appeared to undercut Kerry the next day when he testified, “When the final accounting is done, 2014 will have been the most lethal year for global terrorism in the 45 years [since] such data has been complied.”

■ From January through September 2014, said Clapper, there were 13,000 terrorist attacks that killed 31,000 people. Afghanistan and Pakistan accounted for half of these attacks. And the Islamic State ranks first among terrorist organizations.

Yet, is Kerry wrong?

Despite our outrage over the barbarity of ISIS, this century does not remotely rival in evil the bloodiest century of them all, the 20th.

■ From 1914-1918, nine million men died in the Great War. A comparable number of civilians per-

ished.

At war’s end came the Russian Revolution and civil war, the Red TerPat ror of Lenin, Buchanan the genocide of the kuColumnist laks, the Holodomor in Ukraine and Stalin’s Great Purge of the ‘30s.

Stalin’s butcher’s bill alone has been estimated at 30 million.

■ From World War II, 1939-45, European and Asian theaters together, the dead are estimated at another 50 million.

■ From 1945-49, in the Chinese civil war between the Communists of Mao Zedong and the Nationalists of Chiang Kai-shek, millions more died. The 194748 war in the subcontinent that severed Pakistan from India also consumed millions of Hindu and Muslim lives.

Came then Korea and Vietnam, where the U.S. dead totaled well over 90,000, and the Korean and Vietnamese dead numbered in the millions. Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge produced a million dead Cambodians in their first year in power in 1975.

The Biafran War of se-

cession from Nigeria from 1967 to 1970, the Derg coup in Ethiopia in 1974 and subsequent Marxist rule until 1991, Rwanda in the 1990s, were each responsible for over a million deaths.

World War I gave us poison gas and starvation blockades; World War II provided ethnic cleansing, genocide, saturation bombing of cities and women and children, with the firestorms of Tokyo, Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki the grand finale.

Does not Kerry have a case?

We Americans lost more than 600,000 dead from 1861-1865, and another 600,000 died in World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam.

In this century, in Afghanistan and Iraq, the two longest wars in our history, the death toll is 7,000 – a terrible loss, but a tiny fraction of the number of Americans lost in wars during many of our lifetimes.

Jihadi John is a psycho, a sicko, a Charlie Manson who is loving all this publicity. He is not an “existential threat” to the United States.

Nor is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, or as he now calls himself, “Caliph Ibrahim,” who told his American captors who handed him over to

Iraqi authorities in 2009, “I’ll see you guys in New York.” Not likely, Abu. This is not to say that America should dismiss the revolutionary forces roiling an Islamic world of dozens of nation states. If the Sunni regimes do not cope with this challenge, the epidemic could engulf them.

But as threats to the United States, ISIS, al-Qaida and Boko Haram are pathetic compared to Hitler’s Reich, Tojo’s Japan, or the nuclear-armed “evil empire” of the Cold War. Let us put this peril in perspective.

Each year, 33,000 American die in auto accidents and tens of thousands die of the flu.

How many American deaths did ISIS cause?

As the Shiites are already engaged against ISIS, we should inform our Sunni friends – the Turks, Egyptians, Saudis, Gulf Arabs: As you are the most threatened here, you are the first responders to this blaze.

We will have your back, but we will not fight your war for you.

The ‘sad’ plight of Jihadi John Mohammed Emwazi, aka Jihadi John, the masked, British-accented butcher of hostages on ISIS videos, makes an unlikely victim, to say the least.

The entire point of the videos is to advertise his savagery and that of the hellish cause he serves. Yet, shamefully, even he can claim the expiating status of victimhood and get a sympathetic hearing.

According to his own self-pitying emails prior to his star turn as a knifewielding executioner, Emwazi was harried by British intelligence beyond human endurance. Some so-called civil libertarians have picked up on his plaint to argue that a good, promising young Muslim man was pushed into the arms of a medieval terror group by the Brits.

“Jihadi John: ‘Radicalized’ by Britain” was the title of a press release from the terrorist-defending, British “human rights” group Cage.

It maintains that young Muslims like Mohammed Emwazi have “turned to violence because of British counter-terrorism policies

coupled with long standing grievances over Western foreign policy.”

The WashRich ington Post, Lowry which broke the news last National that Review week Emwazi was Jihadi John, ran a piece about his runin with British authorities when trying to travel to Kuwait in 2010 headlined “The moment Jihadi John may have become a terrorist.”

In that incident, Emwazi had traveled back to London from Kuwait and then found that British authorities wouldn’t let him fly back to Kuwait again (he was Kuwaiti-born, but raised in Britain). This is when he supposedly began to feel intolerably squeezed by the tentacles of the British security state.

There were, of course, many alternatives available to Emwazi, if he were an innocent harassed by an outof-control security service.

He could have started a blog devoted to civil liberties. He

could have joined an advocacy group fighting against such abuses. He could have gotten a law degree and fought for his rights and those of others falsely accused.

He could have done any of a thousand things, including forswearing any association with Islamic radicalism. What he chose to do was to abscond to Syria – so much for the all-knowing British surveillance state – and decapitate people.

What was the extreme provocation that allegedly drove him to such barbarity? He wrote to Cage when he was still in Britain that he felt like “a person imprisoned.” He had to feel like a person imprisoned because he wasn’t actually imprisoned. It was just that his ability to travel overseas was apparently blocked.

Around the same time he was complaining about his unjust treatment at the hands of the British authorities, Emwazi expressed sympathy for “our sister Aafia Siddiqui.” She is an al-Qaida operative who is serving an 86-year sentence in the U.S. for

trying to shoot her interrogators after her capture in Afghanistan.

Reports are now emerging of Emwazi’s radical associations going back years, suggesting, unsurprisingly, that his turn to ISIS wasn’t made on a whim.

What accounts for the impulse to find excuses for even the most bloodthirsty monster? It’s another way of denying the Islamic character of Islamic terrorism, as if any random person – whether Episcopalian or Buddhist – could have been driven over the edge by such treatment.

It is another way of blaming the West for the enemies besieging it, and so cloud the moral picture.

And, finally, it is another way of denying the agency, and ultimately the evil, of fiends who choose to kill, maim and terrorize. The real victims, obviously, are the unfortunate souls who happen to fall into their clutches.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Exxon: Get used to lower oil prices NEW YORK — Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson expects the price of oil to remain low over the next two years because of ample global supplies and relatively weak economic growth. “People kinda need to settle in for a while,� Tillerson said at the company’s annual investor conference in New York.

In a presentation to investors outlining its business plans through 2017, Exxon assumes a price of $55 a barrel for global crude. That’s $5 below where Brent crude, the most important global benchmark, traded on Wednesday. It’s about half of what Brent averaged between 2011 and the middle of last year.

The price of oil plunged in the second half of 2014 when it became apparent that production was outpacing global demand.

U.S. production was particularly robust, with the increase of 1.5 million barrels per day being the third largest on record, according to a report from BP. Meanwhile, weakening economic conditions in China, Japan and Europe slowed the growth in oil demand.

BP CEO Bob Dudley made remarks similar to Tillerson’s in a recent call with investors. The CEOs comments reflect an increasingly common industry view that new sources of oil around the globe, relatively slow growth in demand, and large amounts of crude in storage will keep a lid on prices for the foreseeable future. “When you have that much storage out there, it takes a long time to work that off,� Dudley said.

The U.S. Energy Department reported Wednesday that U.S. oil supplies have grown to 444.4 million barrels, the highest level at least 80 years.

Tillerson cautioned that geopolitical turmoil could unexpectedly send prices higher. But he said that if tensions calm, much more oil is ready to hit the market.

Production in Libya has been erratic in recent years because of political upheaval there.

Production in Iran, once

OPEC’s second largest exporter, has been depressed in recent years because of Western sanctions. Those sanctions could be eased if current talks over Iran’s nuclear program make progress. Â

Fed confronting banking system WASHINGTON — Transcripts of Federal Reserve meetings in 2009 showed central bank officials struggling to contain the worst financial crisis in seven decades and searching for the right policies to halt a deepening economic downturn.

The transcripts released Wednesday revealed that officials were worried about the precedents being set by providing billions of dollars of government support to the nation’s largest banks. They also searched for ways to provide more support to an economy that seemed to be in free fall at the beginning of the year.

During an emergency call on the morning of Jan. 16, 2009, after the government had announced a $20 billion bailout for Bank of America, then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke declared that he was unwilling to allow “the failure of a firm the size of Bank of America.�

The call underscored the chaotic situation facing the Fed and other government agencies as they confronted a financial crisis that had begun in September with the takeover of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.

The Bush administration scrambled to assemble a $700 billion bailout fund that Congress approved to try to stabilize the financial system.

Bernanke apologized to the group for not informing them about the details of the Bank of America rescue before it was publicly announced.

He said officials had moved up the announcement at the request of the bank, which was worried about deteriorating market conditions.

The country’s economic downturn was hitting with full force in early 2009.

Faulty sign sends mixed message

Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — A sign welcoming tourists to Miami Beach briefly offered visitors a confusing message.

The flashing, portable sign along the Julia Tuttle Causeway on Tuesday read: “Welcome visitors! Prohibited.�

It was supposed to flash this message on three different screens: “Welcome visitors! Prohibited on the beach: glass, metal, alcohol and Styrofoam.�

By Tuesday evening, city officials had apologized for the error and the sign was removed to be corrected.

City spokeswoman Nannette Rodriguez told the Miami Herald that Miami Beach certainly welcomes visitors. She offered apologies to anyone who was offended. Â

Arts center receives $100 million gift

Columbus-built Airbus wins approval COLUMBUS — The first Airbus Helicopters AS350 AStar helicopter completely assembled in the U.S. has received airworthiness certification from the Federal Aviation Administration.

The AS350 B3e rolled off the Airbus Helicopters Inc. final assembly line in Columbus at the end of December.

Airbus officials say in a news release that the Columbus plant is set up to produce 30 AStars in 2015 and 60 or more in 2016 and beyond. The AStar is used by law enforcement agencies, air medical service providers and others.

Airbus Helicopters in 2013 set up the AS350 assembly line in Columbus. The production line is patterned after the one in Marignane, France.

Twenty employees from Columbus received training in Marignane. Â

House OKs tax cut on alcohol to retailers

NEW YORK — Entertainment industry executive David Geffen has donated $100 million to New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

The performing arts building — long known as Avery Fisher Hall — will be renamed David Geffen Hall in September, Lincoln Center Chair Katherine Farley announced Wednesday. “As a native New Yorker, I recognize that Lincoln Center is a beacon to artists and musicians around the world,� Geffen, a music and movie mogul, and longtime philanthropist, said in the statement.

Lincoln Center announced in November that it would take Fisher’s name off its concert hall and resell the naming rights to help finance a $500 million renovation.

The renovation scheduled to start in 2019 was announced after the Fisher family agreed to accept $15 million to drop the name from the hall where the New York Philharmonic plays.

One precedent close at hand is the former New York State Theater at Lincoln Center, renamed the David H. Koch Theater in 2008 after the oil-and-gas billionaire pledged $100 million.

JACKSON — Restaurants and package stores that sell alcohol in Mississippi could get a tax break, if the governor agrees.

The House on Wednesday sent Senate Bill 2207 to Republican Gov. Phil Bryant. It proposes wiping out a $225 tax on every purchase of alcohol over $5,000 from the state alcohol warehouse in Madison.

Bryant spokeswoman Nicole Webb says he will review the bill before either signing or vetoing it.

Rep. Hank Zuber, an Ocean Springs Republican, says the bill would reduce tax collections by $1.75 million a year.

Zuber says Mississippi’s restaurants haven’t recovered well from the recession and the tax break would allow them to hire more workers and invest more in equipment. Â

According to prosecutors, Jeffries was caught posting child porn to his Facebook page. Â

City votes to issue $8 million in bonds OLIVE BRANCH — Olive Branch aldermen have voted to issue additional general obligation bonds designed to help pay for several projects.

Over the coming months, The Commercial Appeal reports the Board of Aldermen will decide exactly how the $8 million in bonds will be spent with input from city staff. But right now, park improvements and water and sewer projects seem to be front-runners.

The $8 million in bonds is the last segment in a plan to issue $12 million in bonds for the city to catch up on its to-do list. Â

Man’s body found in house fire rubble PASCAGOULA — Pascagoula firefighters found a body in the rubble of a house fire.

Police spokesman Shannon Massey tells The Sun Herald the body was found Tuesday in the two-story home’s upstairs bedroom.

Firefighters were able to get into the house about 6:30 a.m. and found the body of a dog on the first floor.

Family arrived at the home and told police the man, in his 50s, slept in an upstairs bedroom.

Massey says the man’s name will be released when officials make a positive identification. Â

Lawyer loses effort to revive pay lawsuit JACKSON — The Mississippi Court of Appeals has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a lawyer for the state’s human services agency over his salary.

The Appeals Court on Tuesday denied William Satterfield arguments that his salary range at the Department of Human Services was between $40,000 and $70,000, lower than the range of $67,000 to $117,000 for lawyers at the attorney general’s office.

Satterfield said the salaries should be the same.

He said state law requires the Personnel Board to review annually the salaries of the attorney general’s office and adjust those of human services attorneys accordingly.

McDonald’s drops human antibiotics from chicken Associated Press

NEW YORK — McDonald’s says it plans to start using chicken raised without antibiotics commonly used in humans, and milk from cows that are not treated with an artificial growth hormone.

The company says the chicken change will take place within the next two years. It says suppliers will still be able to use a type of antibiotic called ionophores that keep chickens healthy and aren’t used in humans. The milk change will take place later this year.

Many cattle, hog and poultry producers give their livestock antibiot-

ics to make them grow faster and ensure they are healthy.

The practice has become a public health issue, with officials saying it can lead to germs becoming resistant to drugs so that they’re no longer effective in treating a particular illness in humans.

Chipotle and Panera already say they serve chicken raised without antibiotics, but the announcement by McDonald’s is notable because of its size; the company has more than 14,000 U.S. locations.

Chipotle has nearly 1,800 locations, while Panera has almost 1,900 locations.

The Thrill of Victory!!!

In competition, people prefer the thrill of victory over the agony of defeat. Victory is through Christ and is available to Christians. Followers of Christ are interested in and look forward to the thrill of victory.

Christians can have the thrill of victory over temptations.

Christ was tempted through the three avenues of temptation.

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb 4:15). Christ is willing to help those who are tempted. “For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted” (Heb 2:18). The Lord will never permit Christians to be tempted more than we are able to bear. “There hat no temptation taken but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”(1 Cor 10:13).

Christians have the thrill of victory over sin. Christ is described as the sacrifice for sin in 1 John 2:2. “And he is the propitation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole”. Those in Christ enjoy forgiveness through the blood of Christ. “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Col 1:14). Christians are cleansed by the blood of Christ when they walk in the light.

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7) Christians can have a thrill of victory over the world. Christ was able to overcome the world and Christians must do the same. “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Christians are not to be in love with the world, but overcome the world. “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love in the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2”15). The world will pass away, but Christians will abide forever. “ And the world passeth away , and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” (1John 2:17). The thrill of victory!!!

Storm could bring last big snow Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — A storm stretching from northern Texas to southern New England is set to bring what could be winter’s last significant snowfall for the East Coast.

West Virginia and Kentucky are expected to get hit the hardest with 8 to 10 inches, while Baltimore and Washington, D.C., are looking at 6 to 8 inches of snow, said National Weather Service forecaster Bruce Terry.

Philadelphia could get 6 inches and New York could see about 4 inches of snow.

Boston is a little more than 2 inches shy of its alltime snowfall record, and meteorologists are predicting 1 to 2 inches to fall.

On Wednesday, schools from Texas to West Vir-

ginia were closing early and Penn State canceled classes due to weather for the first time in eight years. About 1,200 flights were canceled, including 600 in and out of DallasFort Worth.

Residents of Kentucky and West Virginia dealt with flooded roadways and mudslides. In Arkansas, high school basketball playoff games were postponed until Thursday.

Light at the end of the tunnel?

Mike Halpert, deputy director of the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center, said the storm “might be winter’s last hurrah.”

After the storm and maybe a couple of cold

days into the weekend, the next couple weeks are forecast to be considerably warmer than normal for a large chunk of the country, Halpert said.

But Halpert’s office, which does longer term forecasts, does predict colder than normal for snow-struck New England and only normal temperatures — which would be warmer than recent weeks — for the rest of the Northeast.

Likewise, AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski says the storm could be winter’s “caboose.”

Two more inches, please!

Some Bostonians are clamoring for a little more snow so they can break a record.

So far this winter, the city has received 105.5 inches of snow — more than 81⁄2 feet, the National Weather Service says.

The record is 107.6 inches recorded during the 1995-96 season. Records date to 1872.

Having endured weeks of misery, residents like Erin O’Brien insist they deserve bragging rights.

Otherwise what was the point of repeatedly dig-

ging out?

“I want the record. We earned the record,” said O’Brien, a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts-Boston.

Others don’t care about the record. Amy Ouellette, a marketing associate in Salem, north of Boston, just wants spring and sun to come and melt it all away.

Roof collapse kills cows Officials are blaming heavy, wet snow for a partial barn roof collapse that killed at least five cows Wednesday morning in central New York.

The collapse at the Whey Street Dairy in Cuyler, 25 miles southeast of Syracuse, was one of hundreds of roof collapses blamed on heavy snow in the Northeast this winter.

Massachusetts officials say they’ve received reports of nearly 200 roof collapses since Feb. 9.

No one was injured Wednesday morning when a 100-foot by 100foot section of the roof of Boston’s vacant Bayside Expo Center collapsed.

The building had been slated for demolition.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for our Crossroads Magazine -- Spring Edition coming in the Daily Corinthian on March 28.

Cereal, hot coffee provide all early-rising houseguest needs D E A R ABBY: A family member, “Bill,” likes to come visit in the afternoons and, beAbigail cause he’s Van Buren not comfortable driving in the dark, Dear Abby he always plans to stay overnight. When he does, he wakes up very early, often before 6 a.m.

Bill tries to be as quiet as possible, but we know when he is up.

Our dog hears someone moving around and thinks it’s time to go out and eat.

My husband or I will get up to take care of our dog, but at that point, it seems rude to go back to bed.

My husband likes to go back to sleep, but I feel I should get up and entertain our guest.

Is it bad manners to go back to sleep even though it is still very early? -- TO SLEEP, OR NOT TO SLEEP DEAR T.S. or N.T.S.: If you need your sleep, go back to bed.

The right amount of sleep is important, and not getting it can

ruin one’s entire day.

If you’re concerned about Bill not having a good breakfast, before going to bed, put the coffeemaker on “automatic” and show him where the cereal is kept.

That’s not being a bad hostess, and I’m sure Bill will be just fine.

DEAR ABBY: My letter is in response to “A Mom in Connecticut” (Dec. 27), who feels she is being “fitted in” because her daughter calls her only while driving in her car.

My daughter calls me almost every morning on her way to work. She calls me her “commute buddy.”

It gives us 10 to 15 minutes to catch up, vent about “stuff” on both ends of the phone, or just chat. I can tell when she arrives at work or very nearly, and we always end with “Love you.”

I love our conversations and the fact that although she has an extremely busy schedule she finds the time to chat with me.

She uses her hands-free phone, so I don’t worry too much about her being distracted. -- SHEILA IN PRESCOTT, ARIZ. DEAR SHEILA: You may not be worried about your daughter using a hands-free phone, but others have a different view.

Read on: DEAR ABBY: Drivers on cellphones -- even hands-free -- are four times more likely to crash and hurt themselves or someone else within five minutes of making a call. Texters are 23 times more likely to crash.

More than 3,000 people are killed this way each year and 300,000 to 500,000 are injured.

The daughter should not be using a phone at all while driving.

How do I know the statistics?

My son was killed by a driver on a cellphone. -- GARY IN KENOSHA, WIS. DEAR GARY: Please accept my condolences for the tragic loss of your son.

You are generous to have written. Too often people take the privilege of driving for granted, forgetting that if they don’t concentrate fully on driving, they place themselves and those around them in danger.

I see this happen often, and I’m afraid that unless the consequences are draconian, it will continue.

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). If it makes you want to run away and hide, that’s an excellent sign that you should run toward it and wave your arms so as to be seen as the bigger-than-life force you really are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Love will inspire you to go to extremes, bringing out the very best and the very worst you are capable of, depending on the hour. Also, romantic hopefuls will vie for your attention.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your guiding planet, Mercury, is pulling out of a fiery trine with lucky Jupiter, helping you communicate your heart’s desire. If you keep your words soft and sweet, you won’t mind if you have to eat them later.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It’s a time to try things out.

You’ll find yourself in unfamiliar territory, so you may as well take social risks. Nobody here knows you anyway! You might as well be who you want to be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You like your new friends to be re-

lentlessly positive, but you rely on your old friends to be slightly less so because a snarky comment here and there proves their humanity. Otherwise, you wouldn’t trust them with your innermost thoughts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

If you want people to tell you the truth (and you probably do today), you’ll have to lower the obstacles that prevent them from honest talk. Let them know that you sincerely want to improve and that you need their input.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Just because something’s coming out today doesn’t make it good. You’ll look into what’s popular for the sake of staying current, though you may not find it all that valid.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Mistakes are cause for celebration, not humiliation. If you’re making mistakes, it means you’re trying. Don’t let the mess-ups stress you out. Go back and try again. Keep your humor, and you’ll find your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Fix it, or let it go. Don’t vacillate in between. Worry is passive, miserable and unproductive. Train yourself not to worry because nothing will improve from that kind of attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The first step to making yourself irreplaceable is to realize that no one is irreplaceable.

Secondly, do the job to the best of your ability, and then go the extra mile so that someone else can have a wonderful experience.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You super-intelligence can be both a blessing and a curse.

If you understand everything before it’s explained to you, then you’ll miss out on the opportunity to learn. Ask questions, even if you think you already know the answers.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ve already been down this road. Do you remember the moves that got you through it before? When you stumbled, you made it part of the dance.

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 10 years, but I sometimes wonder whether I love him or am just used to having him around. We have no kids, and I’ve started thinking of how my life would be without him.

This all began when he first displayed an awful temper. He never gets physically violent, but he hurts me tremendously with the things he says.

He pays some of my bills, but always puts his wants and needs before household things that are more important, like fixing the car or filling my prescriptions. I have to walk on eggshells most of the time. When it’s a holiday or Valentine’s Day, he expects me to get him something, but he never does anything special for me.

My friends think I’m still with him because I’m afraid to be alone. There are times when I enjoy his company, but not that often. I’m not even sexually attracted to him anymore.

Should I continue on because it just might be a phase I’m going through?

-- Tired of It Dear Tired: While all relationships go through ups and downs, yours includes verbal abuse and what appears to be a total lack of consideration.

This is not acceptable behavior between lov-

Annie’s Mailbox ing spouses. If your husband is willing to go with you for counseling and work on this, there is hope for the relationship. If not (and we suspect not), please talk to a counselor on your own and try to clarify your feelings enough to make decisions about your future. There are worse things than being alone.

Dear Annie: I have a friend who dominates every conversation. Upon sitting down to eat, she immediately starts talking about whatever is on her mind and never pauses to let anyone else get a word in. She never asks how anyone else is doing.

If not interrupted, she can go on for hours.

Ironically, she complains about how her sister talks on and on about herself. She can see these traits in her siblings, but doesn’t realize she is just as bad. Some days, I feel more like her unpaid therapist than a friend.

Evenings out have become unpleasant to the point that we don’t socialize much anymore.

I have two other friends

who behave in a similar manner. I notice that all three come from very large families, so I wonder whether that contributes to their need for attention. Still, we are in our 50s, and they should be more socially mature by now.

Don’t suggest confronting these people. They would be so offended, I would lose their friendship forever. I am not looking to change the relationships. I am writing because I wish each person reading this would ask themselves, “Could this be me?” When you sit down with people, ask how their day was.

Listen intently until they are done. Don’t interrupt with something you “just have to” tell them. Maybe their conversation isn’t fascinating, but neither is yours. Everyone should be allowed to share and be heard. -- Bored in the USA Dear Bored: Amen.

Some folks ramble on and on because they need to be the center of attention.

Others have hearing problems and cannot clearly make out the conversation of others. Some fear they will forget what they intended to say if they don’t blurt it out immediately. We hope they appreciate your tolerance.

A WEEKLY SPIN AROUND THE WORLD OF COLLEGE HOOPS

1. ARIZONA FINDS A WAY IN SALT LAKE CITY All three of Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losses this season have been head-scratchers, so the Wildcats deserve a heap of credit for winning their toughest game of the season in less-than-ideal circumstances. Arizona defeated Utah 63â&#x20AC;&#x201C;57 in Salt Lake City when all the numbers pointed to a Cats loss. Utah had defeated its Pac12 opponents by nearly 25 points per game at home this season.

2. BYU UPSET SHAKES UP THE BRACKET The most important game as far as bracketologists were concerned occurred in Spokane where Gonzaga lost 73â&#x20AC;&#x201C;70 to BYU. The Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feat was certainly notable on its own merits. BYU ended Gonzagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 41-game home winning streak, and the Cougars did it with merely 10 points from the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thirdleading scorer Tyler Haws. But as far as the selection committee is concerned, this game means 29â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 Gonzaga could drop from a No. 1 seed to a No. 2.

4. VILLANOVA CONTINUES TO ROLL For some reason, Villanova is rarely mentioned with the likes of Kentucky, Duke, Gonzaga, Virginia, Arizona or any of the other top teams in the country.

With a 78â&#x20AC;&#x201C;66 win over Xavier on Saturday, Villanova won its 10th game in a row and improved to 27â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 overall. Only Kentucky and Virginia have fewer losses.

5. KU HAS SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT CLIFF ALEXANDER $W ÂżUVW WKH ODFN RI SOD\LQJ WLPH IRU &OLII $OH[DQGHU D WRS ÂżYH SURVpect in the class of 2014, was enough of a question. Alexander had played only 21 minutes in the last three games, and Bill Self clearly favored his veteran duo of Jamari Traylor and Laden Lucas over Alexander. Now, Alexander isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing at all. Kansas held him out of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 69â&#x20AC;&#x201C;64 win over Texas, saying the Jayhawks were taking precautionary measures regarding his NCAA eligibility. Kansas, attempting to win its 11th consecutive Big 12 title, does not need this type of distraction as the regular season winds down.

Louisvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other starting guard seems determined not to let the abrupt dismissal of Chris Jones damage the Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season. Sophomore Terry Rozier saved Louisville from a bad loss to Georgia Tech when he had 22 points on Monday in a come-frombehind 52â&#x20AC;&#x201C;51 win. He got more support Saturday against Florida 6WDWH EXW KLV HIIRUW ZDV MXVW DV NH\ 5R]LHU VKRW RQO\ RI IURP WKH Ă&#x20AC;RRU EXW had nine assists and six steals in an 81â&#x20AC;&#x201C;59 rout of Florida State in Tallahassee.

7. NC STATE CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T ESCAPE THE BUBBLE Just when NC State started to look like it had turned a corner, the Wolfpack proved to be as up-and-down as ever. Entering Saturday, NC State had won three in a row â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something the Pack hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done since November. Then, NC State lost 79â&#x20AC;&#x201C;63 to Boston College, a team riding a nine-game losing streak.

After holding North Carolina to 0.77 points per possession and 46 total points,

Boston College guard Olivier Hanlan scored 24 points and had eight rebounds as the Eagles rolled past NC State 79â&#x20AC;&#x201C;63 to break a nine-game losing streak. Hanlan scored 39 points in BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss at Pittsburgh earlier in the week. â&#x20AC;Ś Brice Johnson dominated inside, scoring 22 points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all from the ďŹ eld and most right at the basket â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and grabbing 11 rebounds in North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 73â&#x20AC;&#x201C;64 win at Miami (Fla.). â&#x20AC;Ś Dorian Finney-Smith returned from a three-game suspension and had 20 points and 10 rebounds to lead Florida to a 66â&#x20AC;&#x201C;49 win over Tennessee. It was Billy Donovanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500th win as a head coach. â&#x20AC;Ś Aaron White scored 21 points and collected 14 rebounds to help Iowa outlast Penn State 81â&#x20AC;&#x201C;77 in State College, Pa. â&#x20AC;Ś Tim Quarterman became the ďŹ rst LSU player to

Kansas rallies to beat West Virginia, win Big 12 The Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bill Self has won 190 of the 199 games heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coached in Allen Fieldhouse. This may have been the most satisfying, and improbable, of them all.

The ninth-ranked Jayhawks were down 18 points to No. 20 West Virginia, a team that had beaten them on the road two weeks earlier. They would be outrebounded 46-34. Two of their best players were out of the game.

And from behind the 3-point arc, they would go

0 for 15.

Somehow they won.

Frank Mason III scored the final six points of overtime and the Jayhawks clinched their 11th straight Big 12 regular season championship with a 7669 victory Tuesday night.

They missed by only one point of matching the biggest comeback in the 60year history of Allen Fieldhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a better win here for higher stakes than what that was,â&#x20AC;? said an exhausted Self. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a coach, when you have good players and you

play well, you should win.

But it always means a little more when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything going and somehow the kids figure out a way to do it. It was pretty special for me to sit there and watch those guys pull it off.â&#x20AC;?

Mason had 19 points for the Jayhawks, whose 11 straight conference titles trail only the 13 in a row UCLA won in the John Wooden era.

Junior forward Perry Ellis, the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading scorer, appeared to injure his knee late in the first half and did not return.

Forward Cliff Alexander, who is awaiting an NCAA ruling on an eligibility issue, was also out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our main goal as a team was to get stops, keep fighting and keep believing,â&#x20AC;? said Mason, the starting point guard.

Daxter Miles had 23 points for West Virginia (22-8, 10-7), which was without star guard Juwan Staten, who had scored at least 20 points in each of the last three games against Kansas.

Also out with an injury was guard Gary Browne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We deserved to win the

game. We really did,â&#x20AC;? said a visibly upset West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do enough at the end.â&#x20AC;?

Kansas, which clinched at least a share of the title with Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory over Oklahoma on Monday, finally tied it 59-all on two free throws by Devonte Graham with 11.5 seconds left in regulation.

Milesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 3-pointer gave West Virginia a quick 63-61 overtime lead before Jamari Traylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-point play made it 64-63.

Mason went 4 for 4 from the free throw line

in the waning seconds, the final shot going in with 4.1 seconds to play as the Jayhawks completed a 16-0 home season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys were stepping up and we fought back,â&#x20AC;? said Traylor, who had 14 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get scared.

We always know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a possibility that we can come back.â&#x20AC;?

The Mountaineers stunned the favored Jayhawks and their 230th consecutive sellout crowd with an 18-4 run in the first half to take a 22-10 lead.

Mills, Moore sign junior college pacts

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Itawamba Community College may need to open a satellite campus at Kossuth High School.

ICC nabbed another Kossuth standout last week, signing pitcher Carleigh Mills to a letter of intent in softball.

Earlier this month, the football Indians landed a pair of Aggie veterans.

Alcorn Central’s Tyler Moore also signed to play baseball recently with Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville.

■ Mills is the 57th softball/ baseball player under Steve Lyles to sign a pact during his long career.

“They’re very fortunate to get her,” said Lyles, who coaches both softball prog r a m s .

“They’ll Mills be well pleased.”

She opened her senior campaign by scattering three hits and allowing just one run in a 4-1 win over Corinth on Tuesday, In 2014, Mills was 8-5 with a 1.51 ERA in 14 starts and also picked up a save. She stuck out 120 and allowed just 86 hits over 101.2 innings of

work.

“We’re always in the game with her on the mound,” said Lyles.

She batted .455 (25 of 77) with three doubles and teamhighs of four triples and 17 RBI in Kossuth’s 15-14 season.

Entering her six year of varsity play, Mills has batted .356 in 107 games and registered a 47-22 mark with a pair of saves in 81 appearances.

“She’s been our workhorse since she was in the seventh grade ... she wants the ball every game,” said Lyles. “It’s been a great opportunity to coach her.

“She’s won a lot of games for us and I hope that continues.”

Also included in her career pitching totals entering 2015 are 509 strikeouts in 557.2 innings of work. She’s allowed just 400 hits over than same span.

■ Moore batted .282 last season, going 20-for-71 with a team-high 98 plate appearances for the Golden Bears.

He led the club in runs scored (25), triples (2), stolen bases (11-of-12) and bases on balls (18), while recording four doubles and driving in 14 runs.

On the mound he was 3-5 in 10 appearances, including six starts and two complete-game efforts. Moore averaged 1.5 strikeouts per inning with 49 Ks in 36 frames.

Season-ending setback

Former Corinth standout Raheem Sorrell (right) scored a team-high 18 points as Northeast Mississippi Community College’s dropped a 78-68 decision to Holmes in Region 23 action on Wednesday. The Tigers ended the season with a 17-9 mark.

Allen says he will not play this season The Associated Press

MIAMI — Ray Allen might return to the NBA -- just not this season.

The league’s all-time leading 3-point shooter who played for two NBA championship clubs announced Wednesday that he decided not to sign with any franchise for the remainder of this season, although he left the door open for a possible return in 2015-16.

“Over the past several

months, I have taken a lot of time to deliberate what is best for me,” Allen said in a statement released through the office of his agent, Jim Tanner.

“I’ve ultimately decided that I will not play this NBA season.”

Allen’s future has been the source of incessant speculation since last summer, so much so that at one point Tanner felt compelled to post a message on social media and deny widespread reports

that the future Hall of Fame sharpshooter had signed with Cleveland.

“Ray has received enormous interest from a number of NBA teams throughout this season,” Tanner said in the same statement. “We will communicate with interested teams as Ray makes a decision for the 2015-16 season.”

Allen turns 40 on July 20, though he’s long prided himself on keeping an extremely high level of fitness. Many

of his social-media posts in recent months have been directly related to either his workouts, his passion for running or to encourage others to become more fit.

Allen is a 10-time All-Star who was part of Boston’s title in 2008 and Miami’s in 2013 — the season when he hit one of the biggest shots in NBA postseason history, a overtime-forcing 3-pointer from Please see ALLEN | 11

Women’s tourney could be missing familiar names The Associated Press

Some familiar names could be missing from the field when the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament tips off later this month.

Georgia has reached the tournament 20 straight years for the nation’s fourth-longest active streak, but a lateseason slide has put the Lady Bulldogs’ postseason hopes in serious jeopardy. A number

of other schools also are facing the possibility of being left out for the first time in years.

Here’s a look at teams with relatively long NCAA Tournament streaks at risk: Georgia: The Lady Bulldogs (18-11, 6-10 SEC) have reached the tournament 20 straight times, but this hasn’t been one of their typical seasons. Georgia was 17-3 when

leading scorer Shacobia Barbee broke a bone in her lower right leg last month in a loss at Tennessee, making her one of five players to be lost for the season due to injuries or transfers. That trip to Tennessee began an eight-game losing streak — Georgia’s longest since 1976-77 — that didn’t end until the Lady Bulldogs closed the regular season Sunday with a 52-45

victory at Florida. The only schools with longer active NCAA Tournament streaks than Georgia are Tennessee (33), Stanford (27) and Connecticut (26). Duke also has earned 20 straight NCAA bids.

ATHENS, Ga. — Kentucky has been in some close games.

This was a new predicament, however.

With just over 9 minutes to go, the top-ranked Wildcats found themselves down by nine points, facing an inspired Georgia team and a hostile crowd, their perfect season very much in jeopardy.

No problem.

Kentucky clamped down defensively and turned to

freshman Karl-Anthony Towns to carry the offensive load, ripping off a 14-0 run that finally put away the pesky Bulldogs 72-64 on Tuesday night. Did losing cross the Wildcats’ minds?

Not a chance.

“We think about what we need to do to win the game,” Towns said. And now, the Wildcats are 30-0, just one win away from a perfect regular season. They’ll try to finish that off Saturday against

Florida at Rupp Arena.

From there, it’s on to the Southeastern Conference tournament, where Kentucky will be a huge favorite.

Then comes the NCAA Tournament and an expected No. 1 seed. At this point, there are not too many more chances for the Wildcats to lose and still reach their ultimate goal: a national championship.

“The championship is much more important than the perfect season,” said Aar-

on Harrison, who also made some huge plays in the closing minutes. “But we’re winding down.” Perhaps, he surmised, “We’re going to need to be undefeated to win the championship.”

The Wildcats, who improved to 17-0 in the SEC, had won their previous five games by an average of 24 points. They have become a college version of Showtime, Please see 30-0 | 11

of the last nine seasons, Marist (19-10, 15-5) is facing a major challenge.

The MAAC hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earned multiple NCAA bids since 2001, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine Marist earning a 10th consecutive NCAA invitation unless it can overtake Quinnipiac in the tournament.

In its first game without her, Middle Tennessee (18-8, 12-4 Conference USA) fell 62-57 at home to UAB for its second straight loss. Although Middle Tennessee has a quality record, Western Kentucky (25-4, 14-2) is the likely No. 1 seed in the Conference USA tournament. It has been a one-bid league each of the last three years.

Vanderbilt Beat-up Big Ten This has been an unusual season for a few Big Ten programs. Purdue (10-19, 3-15) and Penn State (6-23, 3-15) are tied for last place in the conference standings after earning NCAA bids each of the last four years. Michigan State (15-14, 7-11) has an even longer streak in jeopardy. The Spartans, who have reached six straight NCAA tournaments, needed to win its last three regularseason games just to get above .500. Michigan State opened the season ranked No. 14, but a series of injuries and the transfer of Jasmine Lumpkin left the Spartans with only seven healthy players at one point in the year. Michigan State lost its first five Big Ten games before rallying late in the year.

Middle Tennessee The Blue Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bid for a seventh straight NCAA Tournament appearance suffered a major setback last week when senior forward Cheyenne Parker was

The Commodores (1415, 5-11) have earned 15 straight NCAA bids but likely must win the SEC Tournament as the No. 11 seed to keep that streak going. An inability to protect the basketball has caused Vanderbiltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downfall. The Commodores have committed 20.5 turnovers per game, the most of any SEC team. Vanderbilt hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been left out of the tournament since 1999, which also marks the last time the team finished below .500.

West Virginia After earning a No. 2 seed last year in its fifth consecutive NCAA tournament appearance, West Virginia (17-13, 7-11 Big 12) finds itself on the bubble. It hurt its postseason hopes by dropping its first four Big 12 games. The Mountaineers also have lost four of their last six. After erasing a 14-point, secondhalf deficit Sunday in a 76-69 overtime victory over Texas, West Virginia squandered a doubledigit lead Tuesday and fell to Kansas State.

They were really challenged in this one by Georgia (19-10, 10-7), which had the sellout crowd roaring when Yante Maten tipped in a miss of his own shot on the second attempt to put the Bulldogs up 5647 with 9:12 remaining.

Kentucky has survived a few tight finishes along the way, most notably consecutive overtime

wins over Mississippi and Texas A&M at the start of SEC play back in January. Twice this season, they have trailed by as many as 11 points, but both of those deficits were in the first half.
