Two women are listed in stable condition at North Mississippi Medical Center following an early-morning wreck Saturday which may been caused by an intoxicated driver in the other vehicle.

Eva Austin, 72, of Rienzi and Alice Thrasher, 74, of Corinth were originally transported by ambulance to Magnolia Regional Health Center after they were both extricated from a 2006 Mazda Tribute driven by Austin. They were transferred to North Mississippi Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

Volunteers were busy dipping and filling at the Mississippi State Extension Office.

They all donned aprons as part of the 13th Annual Jesse Clausel Memorial Scholarship Soup Luncheon on Friday.

The annual luncheon – held in honor of longtime council president Jesse Clausel – helps fund scholarships for around 5-10 graduating high school 4-H members.

The Advisory Council is in charge of the annual event.

on U.S. Highway 72 when a 2003 GMC Sierra driven by Zachary Crum, 28, of Iuka apparently rear-ended the vehicle around 4 a.m. near Strickland Bridge.

The impact caused Austin to lose control of the vehicle and leave the road before overturning several times, according to Mississippi Highway Patrol Public Affairs Officer Ray Hall.

Troopers collected physical evidence at the crash scene, which would indicate Crum, who was not injured in the wreck, may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.

Criminal charges against Crum are pending the investigation.

Alabama court rejects gay marriage challenge Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Alabama Supreme Court refused Friday to defy the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, cutting off a conservative bid to prevent gay weddings in the state.

The court issued a onesentence order dismissing a challenge by a probate judge and a conservative policy group that wanted the state to bar gay marriage despite the land-

“The scholarship will help with my books and tuition,” said Laudadio,

who plans to major in Political Science and Communications with a minor in Marketing at Mississippi State.

Laudadio’s two older brothers, Tony and Nick, have received scholar-

ships from the luncheons in the past.

“We have a lot of fun at the luncheon,” she said.

“You get to see and talk with people who support 4-H … the room is always full of laughter.”

Schools around the country celebrated the birthday of “Dr. Seuss” by reading. Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as “Dr. Seuss,” would have been 112 on Wednesday.

The writer and illustrator is known for authoring popular children’s books.

Harville-Nachbar, who

spent 30 years in the education field, was more than willing to take part in the reading for the classes.

“I like to read books which help students use their imagination,” she said. “The reward is kids remembering you and what you did for them.”

“We try to do this every year,” said teacher Janice Holley of the event to celebrate “Dr. Seuss” birthday which was on March 2. “At this age level the books by “Dr. Seuss” incorporate rhyming words which are a big standard.”

wrote that previous state orders barring gay marriage in Alabama remain.

Most probate judges already are ignoring that directive, however, and hundreds of same-sex couples already have wed in Alabama.

Eric Johnston, an attorney for the Alabama Policy Institute, which went to court seeking to prevent more gay marriages in Alabama, said the decision left opponents nowhere to turn in the court system.

Residents must choose to vote on either the Republican or Democratic ticket. The Republican primary ballot includes a baker’s dozen of presidential candidates plus the primary for the U.S. House of Representatives, with incumbent Trent Kelly challenged

by Paul Clever. On the Democratic side, Jacob Owens is the only candidate in the race for U.S. House.

Both ballots include presidential candidates who have ended their campaigns but remain on the ballot because of ballot preparation deadlines. The Democratic ballot also has a couple of other low-profile candidates.

The Republican ballot includes Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee, John R. Kasich, George Pataki, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum and Donald J. Trump.

The Democratic candidates on the ballot are Hillary Clinton, Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente, Martin O’Malley, Bernie Sanders and Willie Wilson.

Other states voting on Tuesday are Hawaii (Republican primary only), Idaho (Republican) and Michigan.

As with all Mississippi elections now, a photo I.D. is required in order to vote.

On the Democratic ticket, it is Hillary Clinton versus Bernie Sanders.

Booneville considers concerns over depot BOONEVILLE — Booneville leaders will look at options to address deterioration of the historic Booneville Depot.

The depot building, constructed around 1915, currently houses the Rails & Trails Museum and the offices of the Booneville and Prentiss County Main Street Association. Museum director Jim Lamb thanked city aldermen Tuesday for their dedication and support of the museum, noting the historical center could not have been established and maintained without the city’s help. He said with an older building there are naturally issues that develop over time and asked for help dealing with several areas of concern.

In particular Lamb noted issues with the rough-hewn flooring along the depot’s porch and walkway, sagging areas on the roof, serious termite problems and several other areas of concern. He noted city building inspector Charles Sanders has inspected the property with him and is already helping to address some issues and he thanked the city for the assistance.

Lamb said he believes the museum and the depot are vital links to Booneville’s past.

“We have the treasures of the city of Booneville,” said Lamb as he noted the numerous pieces of the city’s history cared for and displayed at the museum. He also pointed to numbers showing nearly

country and the world have visited the museum from its opening in 2006.

Mayor Derrick Blythe said he is actively searching for grants to help fund improvements and renovations to the property and said he and the board are extremely appreciative of the work done by the museum’s board and volunteers. He said the city is dedicated to maintaining the property and will do everything it can to make sure concerns are addressed. All members of the board also expressed strong support to working on the issues.

Dennis, Gray to run for court of appeals SELMER, Tenn. — Former State Representative Vance Dennis and former McNairy County General Sessions/Juvenile Judge Bob Gray are two of eight candidates that have applied for a seat on the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals. Dennis is now the assistant district attorney for Hardin County and Gray is now the assistant district attorney in McNairy County.

The other applicants are J. Robert Carter, Jr., Ross Dyer, Bruce Griffey, David Livingston, Joseph Murray, and Chad Wood.

Dennis served as State Representative for the 71st District from 2008-2014. A former law partner at McGee and Dennis, Attorneys at Law, in Savannah, Dennis has served as the assistant district attorney general in the 24th Judicial District since 2014.

He graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1998 and from the UT School of Law in 2000.

Gray, a McNairy Central graduate, served two terms as McNairy County’s General Sessions/Juvenile Judge from 1990-2006. He has served in his present position as assistant DA since 2006. Gray also served as Adamsville’s City Judge from 1990-2006. He has been an adjunct professor with UT-Martin since

2009.

He graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1982 and received a Doctor of Jurisprudence from UT in 1985.

Gray was appointed by District Attorney Michael Dunavant as assistant district attorney general for the 25th Judicial District in the fall of 2006.

The Governor’s Council for Judicial Appointments met March 8 to interview the applicants.

They will forward the names to Gov. Bill Haslam for his consideration.

Judge OKs district’s desegregation order STARKVILLE (AP) — A judge has approved a permanent desegregation order that sets in stone school attendance zones agreed upon by both the Department of Justice and StarkvilleOktibbeha Consolidated School District.

The Commercial Dispatch reports that Judge Michael P. Mills on Thursday approved the consolidat4ed school district’s proposal to bring East Elementary School students to city campuses, thereby satisfying DOJ objections over operating East with a 94 percent AfricanAmerican enrollment.

All countywide grades 9-12 students will continue to attend Starkville High School under the desegregation order.

A new order was required because both the Oktibbeha County School District and the Starkville School District were under desegregation orders before they merged.

The districts are among many around Mississippi put under federal desegregation orders in the late 1960s and ‘70s.

MSU student hopes to aid heart patients STARKVILLE — Kellie Mitchell, a Mississippi State biochemistry major, is conducting research she hopes will one day help save lives.

By studying the heart cells of swine with metabolic syndrome, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

student is working to unlock clues to help detect heart disease in humans.

When the Chelsea, Alabama, native’s grandfather recently survived a stroke, the health scare gave Mitchell a renewed sense of purpose and urgency for finding answers.

“After my grandfather had a stroke, the research became more personal. It’s the difference between seeing statistics and hearing stories, and actually having a face and a name to put with this disease and what it causes,” she said.

Mississippians are urged to become more aware of heart disease during February’s American Heart Month, however, many may not realize there is a significant correlation between heart disease and type 2 diabetes. More than 275,000 Mississippians have type 2 diabetes, which often leads to some form of heart disease or stroke. Metabolic syndrome, a precursor to type 2 diabetes, is the subject of Mitchell’s research.

“Basically, we hope our research will contribute to a blood test for cardiovascular disease one day. Right now, people usually don’t know they have cardiovascular disease until they have a heart attack, stroke or some other life-threatening event,” Mitchell said. “If researchers can develop a blood test before that happens, we could potentially help save millions of lives.”

Mitchell is part of the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, an immersive experience designed to engage undergraduate scholars in research and creative activities beyond the traditional undergraduate curriculum. In this 12-month experience, undergraduate students work as a junior colleague within a faculty scholar/mentor’s research program to dis-

cover new knowledge, enhance their disciplinespecific expertise and gain critical thinking skills.

Funded through the university’s Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, 40 College of Agriculture and Life Sciences undergraduate students are currently participating in the program.

The heart disease research project received additional funding from MSU’s Office of Research and Economic Development and through a special research initiative funded by the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station.

Mitchell’s research specifically examines exosomes in healthy and unhealthy cells. She is working under the direction of Yuhua Farnell, assistant professor in MSU’s Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology, and Plant Pathology, and James Stewart, assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences.

“Exosomes are tiny vesicles that cells use to communicate with each other. We are trying to find a biomarker that shows cardiovascular disease on a cellular level,” Mitchell said.

Farnell said collaborators from Indiana University School of Medicine and Purdue University provide tissue and blood samples from their Ossabaw Swine Core Facility, the only research and large-scale breeding colony of Ossabaw swine in the world with samples certified to have a gene mutation—basically, a propensity to obesity.

“Most researchers use a different model, such as mice, but since the pig is anatomically closer to humans than mice, this tissue is ideal for our research. The samples are very expensive and we wouldn’t be able to conduct this research without funding from university entities.”

Corinth, Miss.

Part II: Last chance for America?

The worst political blunder of all time, according to scientist Freeman Dyson, was the decision of the emperor of China in 1433 to cut off his country from the outside world. In the wake of that decision, China lost its position in the forefront of human achievements and fell behind, over the centuries, to become a Third World country.

Before the end of this month, the United States of America may break that record for the worst political blunder of all time. Professor Dyson attributed the Chinese emperor’s blunder to “powerful people pursuing partisan squabbles and neglecting the long-range interests of the empire.” That Thomas can be our path to disaster as Sowell well.

After the results of “Super Columnist Tuesday,” we find ourselves with front-runners in their respective parties who each could, as President of the United States, take the decline of America under the Obama administration, even further down, to a point of no return.

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was in charge of the foreign policy that destroyed governments in Egypt and Libya that were no threat to America’s interests or allies, and plunged both countries into a turmoil from which only Egypt managed to rescue itself, while Libya has become another hotbed of terrorist activity.

Yet Secretary Clinton is running on her “experience” — even though it is an experience of unmitigated disasters for America, around the world. Her e-mail scandals and lies are important mainly as symptoms of her utter disregard of anything other than her own financial and political interests.

While Hillary Clinton seems, for all practical purposes, to be unstoppable in her quest for the Democrats’ nomination, Donald Trump is by no means inevitable on the Republican side. But he may become unstoppable after the next round of primaries, especially if he wins in winner-take-all states.

Most of Trump’s wins in various state primaries have been achieved without winning a majority of the votes. Yet these wins can create an impression of great victories, even when most Republican voters voted against Trump. The fracturing of the majority vote among numerous other candidates is the key.

What prevents the anti-Trump majority from coming together in support of one candidate who can defeat Trump? Only the kinds of narrow political squabbles that ruined China.

Sen. Ted Cruz has the best track record against Trump, having beaten him in three states, even with the majority vote split among several candidates. But the Republican establishment would prefer Senator Marco Rubio, who has won only one state and is trailing in the polls in his home state of Florida.

Perhaps most important of all, there are signs that — if push comes to shove — the Republican establishment would prefer Trump himself to Ted Cruz.

Why? Because, despite Trump’s reckless rhetoric and shallow reasoning, he is a dealmaker who will not let principles stand in the way of anything that promotes the ego of Donald Trump.

Even if we accept the criticism of Senator Cruz’s political enemies and critics that he is “opportunistic,” that charge loses some of its sting if he becomes President of the United States. What greater opportunity is there for him at that point? Becoming a great president, which is certainly what this country needs.

Perhaps a political near-death experience thus far will sober up both Cruz and his opponents into a realization that their cooperation is the only thing that makes sense for the country.

But politicians do not always do things that make sense for the country, whether in 15th century China or 21st century America.

But we will know the answer to that question by the end of this month. And generations yet unborn may have to live with the consequences of that answer.

(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 Lord God, I pray that I may be fair, and not pass judgment on those whom I like or those whom I dislike, and so bring unhappy regrets. May I remember that, though hasty judgment often may be temporary, the gain or loss of a friend may be permanent. Amen.

A verse to share “So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.”

— Psalms 79:13

Can Donald Trump be stopped?

The Republican race goes on after Super Tuesday.

In ordinary years, Donald Trump’s wins in seven of the 11 Super Tuesday contests after three out of four wins in February, together with his delegate lead, would make him the nominee. Politicians would hurry to back the apparent winner.

But, thanks to Trump, this is not an ordinary year, and his extraordinary campaign seems to leave many Republican politicians and voters not eager to join his campaign but desperate to stop it.

Which is another way of saying he must earn the 1,237 votes needed for the nomination in the primaries and caucuses. Getting near that threshold doesn’t get him over it. It’s hard to see how any of his remaining rivals – Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich – could accumulate 1,237 himself.

But it’s possible they could at least get enough to block Trump.

That’s partly because of Trump’s disappointing delegate haul from Super Tuesday. As in February, Trump underperformed as often as he over-performed his poll numbers. Most of his voters have supported him for months, while late deciders have been going to Cruz or Rubio. The current count (subject to slight change) has Trump with 237 Super Tuesday delegates, Cruz with 209

(99 from his handsome victory in his home state, Texas) and Rubio with 94.

Michael Trump Barone had hoped for 300. SixColumnist ty-three is a big shortfall on a day when one-quarter of delegates were selected.

Trump got 39 percent or more of the votes in four states Tuesday. Looking ahead, he runs as well in polls conducted this year in only three states: tiny Rhode Island and West Virginia, which vote in May, and huge Florida, whose winner-takeall primary for 99 delegates is on March 15.

For Florida’s Marco Rubio this is obviously a must-win state. Trump has doubledigit lead in four recent polls, and the elderly have been leaning toward Trump.

But Cruz and Kasich aren’t likely to invest in a hugely expensive state with an effective two-candidate race.

Florida is tailor-made for barrages of super PAC negative ads, such as those that derailed Newt Gingrich in 2012. And, as Rubio and Cruz made clear in the Feb. 25 debate, there’s plenty of raw material.

March 15 is also the date of Ohio’s winner-take-all primary for 66 delegates. In the single recent poll John

Kasich trails Trump by just 5 points. Kasich may gain if Rubio and Cruz mostly stay out and concentrate on winning delegates that day in Illinois, North Carolina and Missouri.

A Kasich victory would make him a placeholder – or kingmaker – with 66 delegates. Recent surveys show him in single digits in every recently polled later-voting state but Rhode Island.

Ted Cruz’s problem is that few states with later primaries have such large proportions of evangelical and “very conservative” voters as those that just voted.

If Rubio and Kasich lose March 15, it will certainly be the two-candidate race Cruz described Super Tuesday night. But Trump will be 165 delegates closer to 1,237.

On Tuesday night Trump argued that he is the Republican most likely to beat Hillary Clinton in November: the electability argument.

On the basis of current polling, that’s absurd. The RealClearPolitics averages of recent polls on each month’s first day show Rubio’s lead over Clinton rising from 1.6 percent in January to 3.6 in February and 5.0 in March. Cruz rose less, from -0.6 to +1.7 and +1.5. Trump remains behind: -4.8 in January, -3.5 in February and -3.0 in March. Recent target-state polling is consistent with these numbers.

These aren’t huge differences and don’t suggest that Trump would get a Barry Goldwater/George McGovern 38 percent. But they do show him as a weaker candidate by a margin that could make the difference in a close election.

Trump’s answer on Tuesday night is that he would bring more people to the polls. He correctly noted that turnout in Republican contests (exception: tiny Vermont) is sharply up and Democratic turnout sharply down.

Perhaps the initial screening questions asked by pollsters are screening out Trump voters who wouldn’t bother voting if another Republican is nominated. I’m dubious; first-time primary voters have been far from unanimous for Trump.

In any case, “Never Trump” Republicans will do all they can to stop him, less out of fear for their party than out of the belief that he’d be a disastrous president for the nation. It’s one more way Trump has made this election an exception to the ordinary rules.

Phillips was one of the ‘get-dirty’ publishers Longtime readers will remember a little over a decade ago when I wrote about the passing of my friend Dan Phillips of Oxford.

Dan was a second-generation Mississippi newspaper man and one of the best this state ever produced. Phillips, at the time of his death was the assistant publisher of The Oxford Eagle daily newspaper. Dan died Dec. 14, 2005, at the University of Alabama-Birmingham Hospital following complications from a kidney transplant. He was 47.

Dan Phillips was a past president of the National Newspaper Association, then one of only four Mississippians ever chosen to hold that office. He served seven years on the NNA national board of directors.

Dan served as president of the Mississippi Press Association in 1997-98.

He spent a decade on the MPA’s board of directors and also served as president of the organization’s education foundation. As president of the MPA, Dan was instrumental in forming the Mississippi Center for Free-

Sid Salter In 1998, Ole Miss named Columnist Phillips was named one of the university’s Top 50 journalism alumni.

Dan was one of my closest friends and as good a man and as good a newspaper man as he was, my late friend always gave credit where credit was due. The sterling newspaper career cut short by Dan Phillips’ untimely death in 2005 would never happened without the example set by his father, longtime Oxford Eagle publisher Jesse Pittman Philips.

Jesse Phillips, 82, died Sunday after a long and difficult illness – one predicated, in truth, from a broken heart that never really healed after enduring his son’s death.

Jesse Phillips was not a tough guy newspaper publisher, although he was one of the last of the “get-dirty”

publishers. Jesse Philips could run the printing equipment in his shop, repair that equipment, and literally publish the newspaper he owned with the family of longtime editor Nina Goolsby. Mr. Phillips and hard work, as they say, were well acquainted.

The signature trait of both Jesse and Dan Phillips is that they were gentlemen – nice guys to a fault. And it wasn’t an act or a strategy, it was who they were.

I came to know Dan through my late first wife, Paula, and her brother, Gus Jones. Gus and I were among Dan’s pallbearers more than a decade ago.

Dan was a close and loyal friend to Paula during the worst years of her long battle with multiple sclerosis.

Dan and Gus were fraternity brothers at Ole Miss.

After so many years of friendship with the Phillips family, I need better than most the devastation that Dan’s death brought to his parents. But the faith and courage that Jesse and Miss Jeanette exhibited in the face of crushing grief over the loss of their son was

nothing short of inspirational.

In 2014, the Oxford Eagle was sold to subsidiaries of Boone Newspapers.

When I think of the newspaper industry I joined in the late 1970s, I think of the families who published newspapers in that era. The industry was full of “getdirty” publishers like Jesse Phillips. People who worked hard and who worked long hours. People who lived and died with the communities they served.

People like Jesse Phillips, the gentleman publisher in Oxford – a great Mississippi newspaper man who left his city far better than he found it.

I suppose I learned more about grace under pressure from Jesse Phillips than any man I’ve ever known. He was unshakeable. He lived his faith every day. And in the darkest hours of his life when Dan died, Jesse Phillips was sustained by that faith. What a legacy.

Navy loosens body fat rules

BY JULIE WATSON Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — The Navy is giving another chance to thousands of sailors who otherwise would be kicked out for repeatedly failing their physical fitness tests because they exceeded body fat limits.

The service branch loosened its body fat restrictions in January and is allowing those who failed their exams three or more times to get one more opportunity to be tested this spring under the more lenient guidelines. The Navy said it has been losing too many talented sailors.

Some were resorting to liposuction, diet pills and other measures to save their careers.

The Navy allowed about 2,400 sailors who passed a preliminary test under the new rules to stay in, reducing the number of failures on their records from three to one, said Navy spokesman, Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen.

In the past, three failures were grounds for being kicked out. The sailors will be measured again this spring and allowed only two failures now instead of three.

The changes are the latest by the military looking to improve its abilities to recruit and retain talented people as it builds up its cyberwarfare strategy and faces competition from a

“There are a number of officers in jobs where it is really obvious why it would not make whole lot of difference what their weight is, other than to the extent that the culture in the military disrespects it and therefore, they can’t lead.”

James Joyner Teacher at Marine Corps University, and a former Army officer rebounding economy.

A 2014 Pentagon study found that roughly twothirds of Americans would not qualify to enlist in the armed services as a result of health problems, obesity and the failure to complete a high school education.

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said the service is not lowering standards but rather adjusting to reality: People today, in general, are bigger but not necessarily fat. The Navy is also considering larger uniforms sizes for the first time in two decades.

“It’s far more realistic,” Mabus said of the new body fat standard.

“We were kicking more people out of the Navy for failing that, than for drugs.”

The number of sailors booted from the Navy annually because they did not meet physical standards has more than

doubled from 694 in 2011 to 1,536 in 2014.

The changes come amid debate over whether the physical requirements demanded of service members across the board are still relevant or should be adjusted according to the job so the armed forces can maintain the pool of talent it needs for today’s hightech warfare.

There’s been talk in the Army of easing up on strict body fat requirements for its cyber-warriors, for example.

All branches are reviewing their job standards to modernize their forces and prepare for the opening of combat posts to women.

From drone operators to cyber-warfare officers, “there are a number of officers in jobs where it is really obvious why it would not make whole lot of difference what their weight is, other

than to the extent that the culture in the military disrespects it and therefore, they can’t lead,” said former Army officer James Joyner, who teaches at the Marine Corps University.

He believes the military must change.

“It’s absurd the percentage of high school teenagers who are considered to be too fat to join the military,” Joyner said. “Maybe there are two problems: One, obesity, and the other that the standards are out of date and not relevant.”

Some 34,000 sailors, or roughly 10 percent of the force, have failed the physical requirements at least once since 2011, mostly because of body fat, Christensen said.

The Navy’s old policy allowed for 22 percent body fat for males ages 17-39, and 33 percent body fat for females ages 17-39. Sailors age 40 and older were allotted one additional percentage point or 23 percent for males and 34 percent for women over 40.

The new limits fall in line with the Department of Defense standards and allow sailors to pass with a maximum 26 percent of body fat for men and 36 percent for women.

Service members have long complained that the Defense Department’s method of estimating body fat punishes bulkier, muscular builds.

Man shuns spotlight on aircraft discovery Family inspired potential court nominee Associated Press

SEPANG, Malaysia — An American adventurer said Saturday that it would be a “very lucky discovery” if the piece of aircraft he found on a sandbank off the coast of Mozambique is confirmed to be from the Malaysia Airlines jet that vanished two years ago.

Blaine Gibson, who said he’s been searching for Flight 370 over the last year, flew to Malaysia to attend a commemorative ceremony to be held today by families of the 239 people who were on board the plane to mark the second anniversary of its disappearance.

Speaking to The Associated Press upon his arrival at the airport outside of Kuala Lumpur, Gibson said that he had wanted no publicity about his Feb. 27 discovery until after the piece was as-

sessed by investigators, but that news of the finding leaked.

The 58-year-old lawyer from Seattle said he was cautious about the possibility that the part is from the missing Boeing 777 because three large jets had crashed in the area before.

“I’d say it was a very lucky discovery if it turns out to be from Malaysia 370,” said Gibson, who was wearing a black Tshirt that read “MH370 Search On.” Even if the piece does not turn out to be from the jet that disappeared on March 8, 2014, Gibson said his discovery could still be useful, perhaps providing clues to another air disaster or raising the public’s awareness that the mystery of Flight 370 still has not been solved.

Gibson said he hopes his finding will encourage

more people in the area to comb beaches for clues and to hand over any items they think could be passenger belongings or plane debris to authorities to be assessed.

An ongoing search in the southern Indian Ocean has found no trace of the missing plane, though a wing part from the jet washed ashore on Reunion Island in the western Indian Ocean in July.

The new piece of debris is now in the hands of Mozambique civil aviation authorities and is expected to be sent to Australia this coming week to be examined. Australia is leading the search for the jet.

Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai has said there is a “high” probability that the part is from a Boeing 777. Flight 370 is the only missing 777.

SAN FRANCISCO — Jacqueline Nguyen knows adversity.

She, her siblings and their parents fled Vietnam, and the 10-yearold Nguyen spent her first days in the United States in 1975 in a refugee tent city at Camp Pendleton in California.

Nguyen says her parents’ perseverance to provide for their six children and start a new life in a foreign country has inspired her to seize opportunities even when they may be difficult or new.

Now a federal appeals court judge, Nguyen may need to summon that inspiration again if President Barack Obama names her as his pick for the U.S. Supreme Court, with a bruising partisan battle looming

Pre-plan with

regardless of the nominee Obama sends to the U.S. Senate. The court is operating with only eight justices since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia last month.

Senators confirmed her nomination by Obama to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2012 by a vote of 91-3, making her the first Asian-American woman to serve as a federal appellate judge. But her record on the 9th Circuit, where she has sided with the circuit’s more liberal judges in several cases, would draw scrutiny from Republicans, said Arthur Hellman, a law professor at the University of Pittsburgh and scholar on the 9th Circuit.

“There’s a very, very consistent pattern that does say where she stands,” Hellman said.

For example, he cited a 6-5 ruling in 2015 that overturned the Bush administration’s decision to exempt the Tongass National Forest in Alaska from rules that limited road construction and timber harvesting in national forests.

In another 6-5 ruling, Nguyen was among the judges who overturned an Arizona’s man death sentence in 2015 on the grounds that the state wrongly dismissed his post-traumatic stress disorder as a mitigating factor. The ruling said Arizona’s Supreme Court had been making the same underlying mistake for years, opening the door to many potential court challenges from Arizona inmates sent to death row between the late 1980s and 2006.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Wounded refugee came for new life SALT LAKE CITY — A 17-year-old Somali refugee critically wounded in a high-profile police shooting in Utah fled to the U.S. from a refugee camp where food was scarce, scorpions scurried everywhere and a toilet was a hole in the ground.

Cousin Muslima Weledi remembered the family’s journey to Utah where the teenager is now hospitalized — and the latest flashpoint in the discussion about police use of force.

Weledi says that Mohamed’s life turned when their grandpa and father figure lost his memory in a car accident. The teen had been in trouble before, but nothing prepared his family for the news that he’d been shot by police Feb. 27.

Dog in driver’s seat when semi crashes MANKATO, Minn. — One dog apparently has learned a new trick: how to drive a semi-truck.

Customers at a Minnesota gas station saw a golden Labrador retriever appear to drive the semi across a road Friday.

Mankato police say the idling truck apparently was put into gear, then went through a parking lot, across the street and over a curb.

The Free Press of Mankato reported that a passer-by discovered the dog sitting in the driver’s seat when he jumped into the truck to stop it.

David Stegora was at the store when he heard the truck smash into a tree and a parked car. He couldn’t see the driver, but saw the dog climb up near the driver’s side.

Americans divided over drinking water DETROIT — An Associated Press poll shows only about half of Americans are very confident in the safety of their drinking water.

Water contaminated with lead in Flint, Michigan, has been in the headlines for months.

An AP-GfK poll finds more than half of Americans believe Flint is

a sign of widespread problems in the U.S. About seven in 10 drink tap water, but about half of those first run it through a filter.

The poll found only 47 percent of Americans say they’re extremely or very confident about the safety of their drinking water, while 33 percent say they’re moderately confident. Trust is even weaker among minorities and people with lower income.

Flint’s water became tainted because water drawn from the Flint River wasn’t treated properly and caused lead to leach from old pipes.

Possible new type of octopus found HONOLULU — Scientists say they have discovered what might be a new species of octopus while searching the Pacific Ocean floor near the Hawaiian Islands.

Michael Vecchione of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says in a statement Friday that on Feb. 27 a team found a small light-colored octopus at a depth of about 2.5 miles in the ocean near Necker Island.

Vecchione says the octopus did not have fins and all of its suckers were in one row on each arm. He says the octopus “did not seem very muscular� and was light colored.

He adds that “this resulted in a ghostlike appearance, leading to a comment on social media that it should be called Casper, like the friendly cartoon ghost. It is almost certainly an undescribed species ...:�

Conroy, ‘Prince of Tides’ author, dies  Pat Conroy, whose best-selling novels drew from his own sometimes painful experiences and evoked vistas of the South Carolina coast and its people, has died.

Todd Doughty, executive director of publicity at publisher Doubleday, says Conroy died Friday evening at his home in Beaufort surrounded by family and loved ones.

Conroy, who announced last month that he had pancreatic cancer, was 70.

Doughty says in a statement that funeral

Conroy’s novels of troubled relationships and dysfunctional families included “The Great Santini� and “The Prince of Tides.� Those books and two others became movies.

Court denies appeal for new Bulger trial BOSTON — A federal appeals court in Boston has rejected ex-gangster James “Whitey�

Bulger’s request for a new trial.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday rejected the argument Bulger’s right to a fair trial was violated when a judge barred him from testifying about his claim he received immunity for his crimes, among other things.

Bulger’s lawyer argued his defense was eviscerated when he wasn’t allowed to tell the jury a now-deceased federal prosecutor granted him immunity to commit crimes.

Bulger is now 86 years old. He was one of the nation’s most wanted fugitives after he fled Boston in 1994.

He was captured in Santa Monica, California, in 2011. He’s serving a life sentence for 11 killings during in the 1970s and ‘80s.

Forest deals huge blow to developers FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The U.S. Forest Service has dealt a huge blow to a company that wants to build hundreds of homes, high-end boutiques and five-star hotels just outside Grand Canyon National Park.

The Kaibab National Forest on Friday rejected an application for a road easement that developers needed to move forward with the project in Tusayan, a small town a couple miles from the park’s South Rim entrance.

Forest Supervisor Heather Provencio said the project is deeply controversial and opposed by most of the tens of thousands of people who commented on it. She said the envisioned development would “substantially and adversely� affect the Grand Canyon and nearby tribal lands.

Injured trooper goes home in procession JACKSON — A police procession Friday took a Mississippi state trooper wounded nearly two weeks ago in a shootout from a hospital to his home near Laurel.

Media outlets report that Lt. Trea Staples was released Friday from the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Agent Lee Tartt and standoff suspect Charles Lambert were killed when police raided Lambert’s home early Feb. 20 near Iuka.

Staples was shot in the same raid, telling WAPT-TV he nearly bled to death from a bullet that pierced his femoral artery and vein. “I felt what the injury was and I recognized it and I knew I was dead when it happened,� he told the television station Friday before left the hospital. “I just knew I was dead.�

Entergy cuts rates as natural gas dips JACKSON — Entergy Mississippi just can’t cut rates fast enough to keep up with falling natural gas prices, and Mississippi Power Co. isn’t far behind.

The unit of New Orleans-based Entergy Corp. will cut rates by $102 million in coming months on its 442,000 Mississippi customers.

For residential customers who use 1,000 kilowatts of electricity per month, bills would fall from $93 now to $82 a month in April. In July, such monthly bills would fall again to $80.

An additional rate cut also appears likely by Mississippi Power Co. In a February filing, the unit of Atlanta-based Southern Co. said fuel costs are projected to be $62 million over earlier forecasts.

Mississippi law calls for utilities to recover fuel costs without profiting, but natural gas prices have repeatedly fallen below predictions.

State economy grew at 1.9 percent rate JACKSON — New figures show Mississippi’s economy grew at a 1.9 percent annual rate from

July through September, exactly equal to the national growth rate.

Gross domestic product numbers released Thursday by the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis try to measure all economic output of each state.

Mississippi’s performance slowed from 2015’s second quarter, when the economy grew at a 3.6 percent rate. It improved from 2014’s third quarter, when output shrank at a 0.8 percent rate.

The Magnolia State’s economy was flat in 2014. State economist Darrin Webb has predicted 1 percent growth for 2015.

Ceremonies for new justice set Monday JACKSON — Mississippi’s newest state Supreme Court justice will be ceremonially sworn in Monday.

Separate ceremonies will be held for Dawn Beam at First Baptist Church in Gulfport and at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg.

Beam, previously a chancery court judge from a district covering Forrest, Lamar, Marion, Pearl River and Perry counties, joined the court Feb. 16. Gov. Phil Bryant appointed Beam to the post covering the Southern District. Justice Randy Pierce resigned Feb. 1 to become director of the Mississippi Judicial College, which trains judges and court officials.

Beam’s current term runs out at year’s end, and an election will be held to fill the nonpartisan post in November.

Judge from Killen’s 2005 trial retiring PHILADELPHIA — The Mississippi judge who presided over the trial in one of the South’s most infamous civil-rights cases is retiring for health reasons.

Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon sentenced Edgar Ray Killen to 60 years in prison in 2005 after a mixed-race jury convicted the reputed former Ku Klux Klan leader of manslaughter.

The revived cold case was the first time state prosecutors had brought charges against anyone in what was called the

“Mississippi Burning� case — the 1964 abduction and slaying of three civil rights workers in Neshoba County.

Killen was convicted 41 years to the day after the killings of Michael Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman.

State court officials say Gordon is Mississippi’s longest-serving trial court judge.

Alleged killer eludes search for third day VICKSBURG — An escaped inmate facing capital murder charges continues to elude a manhunt.

Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace says local, state and federal officers continued Friday to comb abandoned buildings in Vicksburg and follow tips looking for 34-year-old Rafael McCloud.

Pace says McCloud escaped from the Warren County Jail early Wednesday using a homemade shank to waylay a jail employee and force him to give up his pants and jacket.

Early Thursday morning, police found the pants on the site of an abandoned hospital where ghost hunters in 2015 found the body of 69-year-old Sharen Wilson. McCloud was arrested and indicted on murder and rape charges.

He could face the death penalty if convicted.

Former officer pleads to civil rights charge JACKSON — A former Alcorn State University police officer has pleaded guilty in federal court to violating civil rights of someone under arrest.

In a news release, U.S. Attorney Gregory Davis says 42-year-old Berthum Allen pleaded guilty Thursday before Senior U.S. District Judge David Bramlette III. Davis says Allen admitted to elbowing a victim in the face and throwing him to the ground without legal justification while acting under his authority as a police officer.

He says Allen also admitted that he misrepresented the circumstances surrounding the incident in his official police report to minimize his exposure to allegations of misconduct.

Job growth helps dispel recession fears

BY JOSH BOAK AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — A robust February jobs report showcased a resilient U.S. economy just as fears of a new recession had begun to surface.

Economic reports in recent weeks had fueled anxieties about a looming downturn: Manufacturers were slumping. Stocks had plummeted. China was slowing sharply along with other emerging markets. The rising dollar had crushed exports.

But last month, U.S. employers sent a clear message of confidence.

They added a healthy 242,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate held at a low 4.9 percent, the government said Friday.

The gains showed that the economy is surmounting its challenges without suffering much damage.

“Neither global headwinds, financial turbulence nor political uncertainty has dimmed American business’ enthusiasm for hiring,” said Sal Guatieri, an economist at BMO Capital Markets. “The solid jobs report should allay recession fears.”

Retailers, restaurants, construction firms and health care providers — the core of consumer demand and vital fuel for economic growth — drove much of the hiring.

Worker pay did slip last month after having picked up in January. But more Americans began searching for jobs and found them. That lifted the job market’s participation rate — the proportion of adults either working or looking for work — to a 13-month high of 62.9 percent.

Friday’s jobs report will factor into an increasingly tense presidential race. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, has cast herself as the logical successor to President Barack Obama and his stewardship of the economy. The Republican hopefuls have spotlighted what they call the economy’s failures, blaming tax rates and Obama’s signature health care program for stagnant incomes and the loss of blue-collar jobs.

February’s job growth could also give the Federal Reserve a path to raise interest rates again as early as June, according to many economists.

Prior solid job growth had led the Fed to raise rates from record lows in December before it paused at its January meeting in the face of global pressures, falling oil prices and subpar inflation.

“It’s probably a better than a 50 percent proposition that they will raise the rates in June,” said

Kevin Logan, chief U.S. economist at the bank HSBC. Stock investors appeared to cheer last month’s job growth. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index climbed 1 percent in late afternoon trading.

Retailers added 54,900 jobs last month. Restaurants and bars added 40,200, the health care sector 38,100 and construction companies 19,000.

Hiring by employers that are directly linked to consumers has more than offset layoffs at manufacturers and fossil fuel companies — two sectors squeezed by the pressures of uncertainty in China, sluggishness in Europe, declining oil prices and a stronger dollar.

Job losses in mining — which includes the battered energy industry — have totaled 140,400 in the past 12 months. And manufacturing has added just 12,000 jobs over that time.

Consumers have provided the foundation for much of the job market’s improvement in what’s become something of a self-sustaining cycle. The nearly 2.7 million workers who have been added over the past 12 months have bolstered spending on autos, housing and meals out.

That spending has sus-

tained U.S. economic growth, even as other indicators have signaled a possible drop-off. China, the world’s second-largest economy, is struggling with high corporate debts and slower growth. Oil prices have tumbled amid relatively low demand.

The strong dollar has eaten away at exports.

With unemployment remaining low, economists say more companies should begin to raise pay to attract workers, thereby fueling more hiring and increasing people’s ability to spend, invest and save.

For years, tepid pay growth was one of the key weaknesses of the economic recovery. Many of the jobs created in the wake of the Great Recession were in lower-paid occupations — from cashiers, waiters and store clerks to home health aides and temporary workers.

But in recent months, wage gains started to tick up. The increases bolstered hopes that a lower unemployment rate had prompted companies to raise pay. Yet between January and February, earnings fell slightly in a clear setback.

Economists were searching for explanations for the sudden reversal given the otherwise strong jobs report.

Drillers: Oil well rules will hurt business

BY CAIN BURDEAU Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — An industry-funded study warns of dire consequences if pending rules to prevent another catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico go into effect, but critics questioned that claim.

The dire economic analysis was done by Wood Mackenzie, a business research firm, and commissioned by the Gulf Economic Survival Team, a Louisiana-based industry group. The study was released Monday.

Drilling companies and their supporters in Congress have blasted the safe-drilling regula-

tions, known as the “well control rules.” They’re an outgrowth of BP’s catastrophic oil spill in 2010, which spewed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf. Supporters say the rules are vital in making the industry safe.

According to Wood Mackenzie, the regulations could raise drilling costs by 20 percent or more. In worst-case scenarios, the analysis said exploration could drop by as much as 55 percent; less drilling could translate to $70 billion in lost state and federal tax revenues by 2030 and up to 190,000 lost jobs.

Critics called this forecast unrealistic. Regula-

tors have estimated the safety measures won’t be a major burden and would save money by preventing costly oil spills and saving lives.

Elizabeth Birnbaum, who directed the Minerals Management Service when BP’s Macondo well blew out, said the new rules shouldn’t be delayed.

“It’s been six years since the biggest pollution event in the United States, which was the loss of control at the Macondo well, and we still don’t have new rules to set the standards on how to manage well control,” she said. “It’s a matter of good luck, not good management, that we haven’t had a major blowout since then.”

The regulations cover a range of issues, from improving the devices that shut down wells in blowouts — the so-called “blow-out preventers,” which in the case of the BP spill failed catastrophically — to new well construction standards. Also rules call for “real-time monitoring” when a well is dug, requiring companies to keep track from onshore control centers.

Drillers have said the rules would force them to buy expensive new equipment, make it harder and sometimes impossible to drill wells and cause costly delays. They also say the rules don’t allow enough flexibility and are overkill since drillers have

taken safety steps since the BP spill.

Last year, a study commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute estimated the regulations would cost the industry $31.8 billion over 10 years. A government estimate put the cost of compliance much lower, at about $881 million over 10 years.

Skeptics questioned the industry’s new analysis.

“I see virtually no evidence to support their conclusions,” said Michael Bromwich, who was appointed by President Obama to lead efforts to reform deepwater drilling after the BP spill. “There may be such evidence but they chose not to put it into their report.”

But Ed Hirs, an energy economist at the University of Houston, called the study valid. “It will increase cost, that’s pretty easy,” Hirs said. “Over time, this will add up to billions of dollars of lost GDP, billions of dollars of lost taxes.”

Still, Hirs said the new rules would be far less damaging than low oil prices. Wood Mackenzie based its calculations on oil costing $80 a barrel.

Oil is currently trading for about $36 a barrel.

Lori LeBlanc, the head of the Gulf Economic Survival Team, said the government “grossly underestimated” costs. She said the industry wants regulators to start over and draft new rules.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Daily Corinthian family of quality Crossroads Magazines continues with 2016 Family Edition coming out on Sunday, March 27.

Woman’s bad times are made worse by family’s desertion DEAR ABBY: I recently realized I have a fair-weather family.

My husband got in trouble with the law and is now in a drug treatment facility.

This had been hard on me, but I love him.

His crime was being in possession of illegal drugs that were intended only for Abigail himself. His Van Buren family has turned their Dear Abby backs on us.

My family will invite me to family functions, but if I mention him, they walk away.

I have been feeling very alone and isolated throughout this entire process.

Today I went for my follow-up OB-GYN appointment and was referred to an oncologist for further testing and treatment.

I don’t even want to tell my family.

I spoke with one close friend who said my parents and siblings have a right to know what is going on, but I feel differently.

I think families should support each other through everything.

They don’t get to pick and

choose.

What do you think? -- DOING THIS ALONE IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR DOING THIS ALONE: I know you are angry with your relatives, but if you think you will be punishing them by keeping your diagnosis to yourself, you won’t.

I agree with your friend that your family should be told what’s going on with you, not because they have a right to know, but because you may at some point need their help.

DEAR ABBY: In the past, you have printed letters about neighbors taking food to people who are grieving.

I recently lost my wife of 57 years.

Her death was unexpected.

I ended up with a refrigerator and freezer overflowing with so much food I could not eat it all.

Losing someone dear to you kills your appetite.

Trust me, at a time like this, you aren’t hungry.

May I offer an alternative to cooking food and taking it over, especially if the recipient lives alone?

Call the person and invite him or her to dinner at your home, or ask what night you could bring dinner over and have supper with the individual.

Speaking from firsthand experience, for me the worst time of day (besides bedtime) is being alone at dinner when daylight fades.

What’s hard isn’t that I might have to prepare or warm up some of the food someone thoughtfully brought, but it’s the emptiness of the house -- the sense of isolation.

About two weeks after the funeral, a couple of dear friends invited me over for dinner and games.

They understood what a difference it would make in helping me cope with a great loss.

And bless my daughter and “son-in-love” for their insistence that I have dinner with them every Sunday, at a minimum, with their family. -- GRATEFUL IN LONG BEACH, CALIF. DEAR GRATEFUL: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your wife, and thank you for taking the time to point out how important companionship can be for people who are grieving.

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).

Try not to get discouraged over the individual moments that don’t go exactly as anticipated.

Truly, it’s the bigger process of life that matters more now than some isolated happening in one increment of time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Getting out of your own point of view will be lucky. When you try to see the world as someone else sees it, you’ll capture a valuable piece of information you’d have otherwise missed.

You can apply this and make a profit!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Stress and boredom -- two equally unsatisfying conditions you should avoid at all costs today. It’s easy to do so. All you have to do is engage in “your thing” and stay there for as long as possible.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The diversity around you will inspire you to question the absolute truth of any one particular view. More than any societal standard, you can rely on your private conscience to point the

way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A tight sensation in the tummy can be interpreted as anxiety, excitement or even, in some cultures, a response of the gods. As for you, you’re more likely (and accurately) to interpret this symptom as a crush.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You have access to accurate information, expert advice and the best map around. Even with all of that, you won’t know the exact route your journey will take until you take it. You’re ready now.

Embark!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your life is a bit like a puzzle in its box today in that you’ve absolutely got everything you need to make this work; it’s just that all the pieces aren’t in the right order yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Because you’ve so much to draw from in the high emotional range, you can easily celebrate more than one thing at a time today. As for the low emotional range, try and leave it alone.

Multiplication and worry don’t go

together.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s hard to tell whether this is about circumstances that have you on edge or your edgy reaction to circumstances. Either way, this emotional sharpness could be used as a weapon or a tool.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The best relationships are light. They make you laugh and feel free to come and go as you please. You don’t feel trapped or obligated. If you’re not there because you want to be there, something is amiss.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Maybe you haven’t figured out yet what’s in it for you. This isn’t selfish; in fact, it’s a good idea to sort it out as quickly as possible.

It will be hard to get any momentum going until you do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you spend too much time documenting today’s happenings you won’t get nearly what you could be out the situation. This day is so stocked with opportunity, you couldn’t possibly make good on all of it!

Ole Miss wins 20th for 8th time under Kennedy Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy attempted to downplay his new membership in an exclusive fraternity.

Sebastian Saiz had 23 points and 11 rebounds Saturday as Ole Miss closed the regular season with an 83-60 victory

over Tennessee, which went over 14 minutes without a basket in the first half. The victory allowed Ole Miss (20-11, 10-8 SEC) to clinch its eighth 20win season in Kennedy’s 10year coaching tenure.

Ole Miss had just seven 20win campaigns in 96 seasons before Kennedy’s arrival. The

only other SEC coaches to have at least eight 20-win seasons in their first 10 years in the league are Billy Donovan, Joe B. Hall, Nolan Richardson and Tubby Smith, according to STATS LLC. “I don’t really take time to reflect on that unless I’m at the beach sometimes, trying

to win a bet,” Kennedy said.

“You could win a bet off that question, (asking) which one doesn’t belong, like on ‘Sesame Street.’

“For me, it just shows that perseverance pays off. At Ole Miss, it’s never easy. You’ve got Please see KENNEDY | 12A

Bulldogs handle Auburn; face Ole Miss next Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State freshmen Malik Newman and Quinndary Weatherspoon combined for 33 points en route to a 79-66 win over Auburn in the regular season SEC finale for both teams on Saturday.

Newman scored 14 of his 17 points in the first half while Weatherspoon added 16 points and six rebounds. Mississippi State senior Craig Sword scored all of his 11 points in the second half. Gavin Ware notched his ninth double-double of the season for the Bulldogs (14-16, 7-11) with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

“Overall, it was a good win for us,” said Mississippi State head coach Ben Howland. “I thought our defense in the first half was fantastic or we would’ve been down because of our inability to score early in the game. I was very proud of our seniors and they have done an incredible job.

“And this win gives us some

momentum and we have momentum now. Our defense has improved so much and it gives our guys a boost of confidence going into (the SEC Tournament).”

Auburn (11-19, 5-13) was led

by TJ Lang’s 16 points, while Tyler Harris and Horace Spencer had 13 points apiece for the Tigers. Cinmeon Bowers also finished with a double-double adding 11 boards and 10 points for the Tigers.

The Bulldogs led by 19 at halftime.

Mississippi State shot 41.9 percent from the field and made 11 of 25 3-point attempts.

Weatherspoon and Newman were a combined 7 of 10 on three-pointers.

Auburn shot 42.4 percent and the Tigers were 7 of 19 from beyond the arc and 9 of 16 at the free throw line. Both teams had 16 turnovers and Mississippi State’s bench held a decisive 45-16 advantage over Auburn’s

bench scoring.

“I really like Mississippi State’s team and I have all year,” said Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl. “It has taken them awhile to play their best basketball. But if you look at their early league schedule it is no surprise it took them awhile. They are a dangerous team going into the tournament and in a way, I will kinda be rooting for them.

“I like Gavin Ware a lot and how he comes to work every day.

Sword is in a good place right now attacking and I.J. Ready is running the ship. They are a good team that is capable of making a run.”

Mississippi State held a double-digit lead for most of the second half only to see Auburn get within nine at 52-43 with 12:08 to go. The Bulldogs quickly responded with a 14-2 run and Auburn never got closer than 13 points the rest of the way.

Auburn jumped to an early 8-0 lead in the first half and took

advantage of Mississippi State’s miscues in the first ten minutes of the game. The Bulldogs had seven turnovers in the first eight minutes of action and missed 12 of their first 14 shots of the game.

“That was an incredible slow start,” said Howland. “We didn’t have our normal starting lineup and we were trying to start all of our seniors. I felt like we sped up too much and didn’t play our best. But our freshmen came in and really played well for us.”

After that dry spell it was all Mississippi State in the first half.

Trailing 13-11 midway through the first half, the Bulldogs exploded on 25-7 run. Newman led the charge in that run with 12 points and was 6 of 6 from the field in the opening half.

Auburn shot just 27.6 percent in the first half and committed eight turnovers. Mississippi State ended up shooting 46.7 percent in the first half and controlled the backboards with a 25-15 margin.

Mississippi State women top Tennessee

BY MARK LONG Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Victoria Vivians climbed into the stands after her huge performance, shook hands, posed for pictures and hugged anyone who asked.

One group of fans tried to get her to dance. She refused — at least for a night.

“If we win,” she said, before quickly correcting herself.

“Well, when we win.”

Vivians scored 30 points, her most since mid-December, and No. 16 Mississippi State beat Tennessee 5848 in the semifinals of the Southeastern Conference women’s tournament Saturday.

The Bulldogs (26-6) won their fifth in a row and advanced to the title game against top-seeded and league-unbeaten South Carolina. The third-ranked Gamecocks beat No. 13 Kentucky 93-63 in the other

semifinal.

Today’s SEC final will be at 1:30 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville.

Saturday’s Tennessee match-up one was considerably closer until late.

Although Vivians singlehandily turned a tight game into a double-digit lead in the third quarter, No. 7 seed Tennessee (19-13) rallied in the fourth and made it 4341 with about 8 minutes to play.

But Mississippi State — mostly Vivians — responded. After Morgan William and Dominique Dillingham hit baskets, Vivians scored five straight points to push the lead to 52-43 with 3:16 remaining.

“When Victoria got hot, you start pulling out your play card, you start trying to find everything you can run to get her a shot or a look,” Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer said. “They were

guarding her extremely hard in the half court. But we were getting her some stuff in transition. Our kids were really setting some good stuff for her.”

Vivians finished 11-of-20 shooting, including 5 of 10 from behind the arc, and had nine rebounds. The rest of the Bulldogs were 6 of 33 from the field.

“We didn’t have an answer for her,” Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said.

“We did everything we could to keep her in check, and we couldn’t.”

Diamond DeShields led Tennessee with 22 points on 8-of-20 shooting.

DeShields was good, but not nearly as good as Vivians.

With the Bulldogs leading 25-22, Vivians made her first five shots of the third quarter. She hit two jump shots, a layup, a 3-pointer and another jumper to put the Bulldogs ahead 36-26.

Although the 10-point lead didn’t hold, it was the key to keeping the Bulldogs ahead down the stretch.

Tennessee’s bigger problem was shooting 28.1 percent and missing countless close-range shots, many of them after 20 offensive rebounds.

“We couldn’t hit a shot tonight,” said Lady Vols forward Jaime Nared, who scored 12 points before fouling out with 2:07 to play.

“We missed a lot of easy layups. We gave someone 30 points. It’s something we can fix. It’s hard to win basketball games when you can’t hit a shot or give someone that many points.”

Tip-Ins Mississippi State: Vivians scored her most points since finishing with 36 against Louisiana Tech on Dec. 13. ... Advanced to the SEC final for the first time since 2000.

Ole Miss’ Speaks charged with DUI The Associated Press

OXFORD — Mississippi defensive lineman Breeland Speaks was arrested early Friday morning and charged with driving under the influence.

Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department records show Speaks was arrested just after midnight and released at about 7 a.m.

The 6-foot-3, 313-pound sophomore played in all 13 games last season, starting two, and made 31 tackles. He’s expected to be one of the Rebels’ pri-

mary defensive tackles next season.

Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze released a statement through the athletic department saying, “Breeland’s poor choice does not meet the expectations of our program, and there will be consequences.

He and I have spoken, and he is very disappointed in himself and will accept whatever punishment is handed down.

“We are very thankful he is safe and that this was not a life-altering decision.”

KENNEDY CONTINUED FROM 10A

to have the right mentality and the right approach, and that is to grind. Typically people don’t like to grind because grinding’s hard. But that’s what we have to do.”

Three days after getting a career-high 43 points in Ole Miss’ victory over Mississippi State, SEC scoring leader Stefan Moody went scoreless in the first half and battled foul trouble before finishing with 12 points in 21 minutes.

Ole Miss still handed Tennessee (13-18, 6-12) its most lopsided home loss since an 88-63 setback against Vanderbilt on Jan. 8, 2005.

Tennessee was playing a fifth straight game without leading scorer Kevin Punter Jr., who is undergoing season-ending surgery Tuesday to repair a stress fracture in his right foot.

After beating LSU 8165 in its first game without Punter, Tennessee has lost four straight by an average margin of 19 points.

Tomasz Gielo scored 16 points and Martavious Newby had 10 points and 10 rebounds for Ole Miss, which shot 11 of 25 from 3-point range. Devon Baulkman scored 18, Armani Moore had 13 and Admiral Schofield added 12 for Tennessee.

Tip-Ins

Ole Miss: The Rebels have won eight of its last 11 SEC games after getting off to a 2-5 start in league competition.

Postseason Concerns Although the Rebels have 20 wins, they likely must capture next week’s SEC tournament to earn an NCAA bid. Ole Miss entered the day 91st in the RPI. “We probably need to be playing on Sunday (the day of the championship game) to give ourselves any chance,” Kennedy said.

Next Up Ole Miss plays Thursday against an opponent to be determined at the SEC tournament in Nashville, Tennessee.

Early test takers say new SAT ‘wasn’t so bad’ and not so tricky

BY JENNIFER C. KERR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Not so tricky. More straightforward.

Guessing allowed. The newly redesigned SAT college entrance exam that debuted nationally Saturday is getting good reviews from some of the students who took it early this week.

The new exam focuses less on arcane vocabulary words and more on real-world learning and analysis by students. Students no longer will be penalized for guessing. And the essay has been made optional.

The College Board says more than 463,000 test-takers signed up to take the new SAT in March, up slightly from a year ago.

Things to know about the new SAT exam:

The new stuff The new SAT continues to test reading, writing and math, with an emphasis on analysis.

Gone: some of those obscure vocabulary words like “lachrymose” that left kids memorizing flash cards for endless hours.

In math, students will see

more algebra and problem solving, instead of testing a wide range of math concepts. But use of calculators is limited to certain questions.

Overall, there are fewer questions — 154 on the new test plus one for the essay, compared to 171 on the old version.

A perfect score goes back to 1,600 with a separate score for the essay.

Some early reviews Brian Keyes, a junior at Woodrow Wilson High School in the nation’s capital, says he

really didn’t mind the new SAT. “There aren’t as many questions where it’s trying to trick you ... It was much more straightforward,” he said Said classmate Isabel Suarez: “I liked it better than the old one. I thought that it was way more applicable to what we’ve been learning in school. The English was a lot easier for me than it was with the old one.”

Isabel, a junior, said the math was a little harder. “It was more algebra based, but I think I was able to perform a lot better on it than the old one because it was stuff that I actu-

ally learned in school.”

What’s behind the redesign?

“The sum of the redesign of the test is to make it much more like the work that kids are already doing in high school,” said David Coleman, president and chief executive officer of the board. It was retooled, he said, “so that all kids could feel that they had a shot.”

With fewer questions on the new test, Coleman said, there’s more time for each of the reading and math questions.

Daily Corinthian Crossword

“London Has Fallen” never pretends to be anything it’s not. The sequel to Antoine Fuqua’s big, dumb and kind of fun “Olympus Has Fallen,” is bigger, dumber, jawdroppingly shameless and also kind of a riot.

It is just so spectacularly clichéd and over-thetop that all you can do is laugh.

The craziest thing is how they convinced everyone to reprise their roles. A dare? Fond memories? Or perhaps the $161 million worldwide box office receipts didn’t hurt either. In any event, Aaron Eckhart is back as U.S. President Benjamin Asher, Angela Bassett as Lynne the Secret Service director, Morgan Freeman as the vice president and, of course, Gerard Butler as Secret Service Agent Mike Banning — the guy who saved the country from an improbably big assault on the White House just three years ago.

The only one missing is director Antoine Fuqua ,and you feel it. He’s been replaced with Swedish director Babak Najafi in his English-language

debut. Fuqua might not have been at his best with “Olympus Has Fallen” but he’s still a skilled director.

“London Has Fallen” is a lot more cartoony.

This time, the president, Mike and Lynn head off to London for the funeral of the British prime minister where 40 other heads of state are expected. And, as is wont for the unluckiest administration in history, there’s a largescale, hyper-coordinated attack in the moments before the funeral as the terrorists pick off world leaders in various comical locations around the city. The French PM is on a luxury motor boat with champagne, the Japanese PM is stuck in traffic on a bridge, and the older Italian PM is up on the rooftop of Westminster Abbey with his young girlfriend because “you only turn 30 once.”

One of the only ones to get out alive is the U.S. president, and he and Mike begin an unbelievable run around the city to try to find safety.

All that’s missing was a montage of them trying on some civilian clothes so that they aren’t running around the deso-

late streets in their “hey, I’m the president and his protector three-piece navy suits.” That, sadly, does not happen.

Anyone who saw the first one knows that this is not an action movie that’s based in any sort of reality. It’s an action movie based on other action movies. The lines are big, the jokes are dumb, the through-the-temple shots and ensuing blood splatter gratuitous, the logic infuriating, and the gunfire relentless. At one point, when Mike and the President are in relative safety, Mike confirms to a terrorist via intercom that, yes, he is the one with the president.

Mike also might be a murderous sociopath.

When President Ben asks what he’s made of, he says “bourbon and bad decisions.” He also prefers the close contact knife kill to simple gun shots and makes jokes like “I knew you’d come out of the closet sometime” when the president emerges to save him from a terrorist.

The terrorists, by the way, are led by a powerful international arms dealer (Alon Moni Aboutboul) who is out for vengeance

after a drone strike targeting him ended up killing his daughter at her wedding. For such an epic and comprehensive operation, his goals are fuzzy at best. It’s a wonder how he was able to turn all those British police and royal guards into his own personal army with a vague “change the world” message.

But that’s too much thinking for a movie that is ultimately just mindless bluster. It remains so-bad-its-good fun, too, until the final third which devolves into some troubling Middle Eastern stereotypes and rah-rah American patriotic posturing as contrast.

This sort of movie was made for television viewing. You could tune in or out at any moment and really not miss anything.

Or just have a drink beforehand and bring your rowdiest friends to the theater.

Sam Smith views album as ‘really deep’

BY MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer

LOS ANGELES — If you thought Sam Smith was deeply honest on his first album, expect him to take it a step further on his sophomore release.

“It’s (expletive) great.

It’s really deep (stuff) that’s coming out — that’s all I’ll say,” a smiling Smith said in a recent interview.

He wouldn’t say when his follow-up to 2014’s “In the Lonely Hour” will be released, but said he’s pushing himself to explore new territory.

“Every day I’m having little epiphanies and changes and loving it.

But all I can say is that I’m putting my heart even more out on the (expletive) line,” Smith said.

“I’m going even deeper. I can’t believe I’m even doing it, but I’m going even deeper.”

“In the Lonely Hour” featured emotional pop songs about love lapses and unrequited love, including song titles like “Leave Your Lover” and “I’m Not the Only One.” It reached multiplatinum status in the United States and won four

Grammy Awards, including song and record of the year for “Stay With Me.” As he reflects on that album, Smith says he has mixed feelings about his breakthrough project.

“There’s a few songs I really (expletive) hate, but then the core of the album, songs like ‘Stay With Me,’ ‘I’m Not the Only One’ — actually all the songs except ‘Money on My Mind’ — I really love and I’m really proud of the classic-ness of the way they sound, because I still listen to them now and I still love them,” he said. “The music I’m making at the moment, it’s very much a beautiful little transition from there and it fits.”

Smith co-wrote his debut album and also won an Academy Award for co-writing “Writing’s on the Wall” from the James Bond film “Spectre.” He says there’s a “few mo-

ments” on his first album “where I think to myself, ‘I would have changed that. I would have done that differently.’”

Smith added that when he began to rise in the United Kingdom as a featured act on Disclosure’s dance song “Latch” — originally released in late 2012 — there was some confusion about which musical direction he should take.

“As soon as ‘Latch’ had a lot of success in (the) U.K., my label and me had a little bit of a panic.

We were like, ‘Maybe we should be doing dance?’

And that’s what I can hear on (my first) album — there’s two or three songs where I can hear the little wobble, but the rest of the album is what I set out to make from the beginning,” he said.

“But I still love my album, but I’m loving my new one (expletive) more.”

Review: Loretta Lynn gives stellar turn on her first album in 12 years

BY MICHAEL MCCALL Associated Press

Loretta Lynn, “Full Circle” (Sony Legacy) Loretta Lynn has titled her first album in a dozen years “Full Circle” partly because she opens the 14-song collection with “Whispering Sea,” the first song she ever wrote, back in the late 1950s.

But “Full Circle” also extends a long line of vibrant, wholly distinctive albums based on Lynn’s unique story, her recognizable rural voice and her highly personal way of writing about her feel-

ings about the world she inhabits.

Produced by Patsy Lynn Russell (her daughter) and John Carter Cash (son of Johnny and June Carter Cash), the album relies on a melodic bed of acoustic instruments with gentle touches of steel guitar, drums and the occasional piano.

The old-school sound focuses attention on Lynn, who, at 83, sounds amazingly good. Not only does she retain nearly all of her range and vocal strength, but her ability to breath feeling into what

Cryptoquip

she’s saying remains one of her greatest attributes.

She offers a few originals, including “Everything It Takes,” co-written with singer-songwriter Todd Snider with harmonies by Elvis Costello.

There’s also a duet with Willie Nelson on “Lay Me Down,” one of many gospel numbers. But the best songs are among the most unexpected, such as her poignant take on T. Graham Brown’s prayerful “Wine Into Water” and a rousing version of the folk classic “Black Jack David.”
