fire began in an area where the vacuum cleaner, blankets and animal food was stored. He said they know the fire was not electrical, but it’s impossible to further narrow the cause due to the damage. Shelter board member Anne
Marie Ford said she was devastated when she learned of the fire and the loss of the five animals. “It’s made me sick. I’ve cried pretty much all day,” she said. Ford said shelter director Sheila Luff had gone out to the
building to get an item from storage when she saw heavy black smoke coming from around the door. She, volunteer Joe Borden and others immediately began trying to Please see FIRE | 2

The dodging of potholes on state highways is expected to come to an end in the near future. The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is set to have crews out repairing roadways as soon as weather permits. “Our crews will be working to repair potholes caused by the recent winter weather as quickly as possible,” said MDOT Executive Director Melinda McGrath. “The weather is a major factor in how quickly we can complete the necessary repairs.” Weeks of winter weather have wreaked havoc on roads in the state. MDOT crews face
numerous repairs to potholes after water got into cracks in the road, froze and then expanded. The process enlarged cracks and caused further damage. Motorists also played a part in road damage. Vehicle tires forced water into existing cracks or potholes at high velocity and caused further erosion to the pavement and soil underneath the road. Motorists are urged to watch out for MDOT workers in work zones. “Be alert while driving through work zones and don’t drive distracted,” said McGrath. “Also, slow down when approaching those work zones or when you encounter a pothole because this could save your car or a life.”
Ex-fugitive gets 55 years BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
A Prentiss County man who sparked a multi-day manhunt before later being captured in Georgia has been sentenced to a total of 55 years after pleading guilty to three separate counts. Anthony Perry, 24, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary of a dwelling and one count of receiving stolen property during the most recent term of Prentiss County Circuit Court. He was sentenced on the first burglary count to 25 years in prison with 10 years suspended and 15 years to
serve, to be followed by five years of post-release supervision. He received a suspended sentence of 25 years on the second count of burglary and a suspended sentence of five years on the charge of receiving stolen property. All three sentences are to run consecutively, leaving him a total of 15 years to serve with 40 years suspended. The suspended sentences could be imposed if he were to violate any condition of release once he is released after serving his time. He was also ordered to pay Please see SENTENCE | 6

Black Hawk crash kills 11 Associated Press
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — Two helicopters flew in the nighttime training mission that cost the lives of seven Marines and four soldiers, but one turned back in the dense fog, military officials said Wednesday. The other exploded into pieces as it crashed in a narrow Florida waterway, and all 11 on board were presumed killed. Military officials haven’t said what caused the crash of the UH-60 Black Hawk, but the weather was bad enough for the other helicopter crew to return to land, said Maj. Gen. Glenn H. Curtis, adjutant general of the Louisiana National Guard. The helicopter that
crashed had a veteran crew from Hammond, Louisiana, that served multiple tours in Iraq and helped humanitarian missions. They were carrying unconventional warriors from the Marines Special Operations Command. Like the Army’s Green Berets and the Navy’s SEALs, they were highly trained to endure grueling conditions and sensitive assignments on land and at sea, from seizing ships to special reconnaissance missions and direct action inside hostile territory. Tuesday night’s training involved practicing “insertion and extraction missions,” using small boats and helicopters to get troops into and out of a target site, said Capt.
Barry Morris, spokesman for the Marine Corps Special Operations Command at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. “Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families as the search and rescue continues,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Capitol Hill. Kim Urr, 62, who works at the Navarre Beach campground near the Eglin Air Force Base training area, said she heard a strange sound, followed by two explosions around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. Human remains and helicopter parts were recovered Wednesday but the weather deteriorated. It was still considered a search and rescue mission.
Bethany Parvin, with her husband, Tech. Sgt. D.C. Parvin, by her side, accepted a medallion from Gen. Frank Gorenc, USAFE-AFAFRICA commander and Chief Master Sgt. James E. Davis, USAFE-AFAFRICA command chief, honoring her as Key Spouse of the Year.

Many of the cages in the building were melted in the blaze. The building was also used to store cat food, cat litter, other pet food and other supplies. She said anything cat-related that can be donated would be greatly appreciated. Monetary donations can also be made to allow them to purchase needed items. Plans are still in place

Today in History Today is Thursday, March 12, the 71st day of 2015. There are 294 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On March 12, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the first of his 30 radio addresses that came to be known as “fireside chats,” telling Americans what was being done to deal with the nation’s economic crisis.
On this date: In 1664, England’s King Charles II granted an area of land on the East Coast of presentday North America known as New Netherland to his brother James, the Duke of York. In 1857, the original version of “Simon Boccanegra,” an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, was poorly received at its premiere in Venice, Italy. (Verdi offered a revised version in 1881.) In 1912, the Girl Scouts of the USA had its beginnings as Juliette Gordon Low of Savannah, Georgia, founded the first American troop of the Girl Guides. In 1925, Chinese revolutionary leader Sun Yatsen died. In 1938, the Anschluss merging Austria with Nazi Germany took place as German forces crossed the border between the two countries. In 1940, Finland and the Soviet Union concluded an armistice during World War II. (Fighting between the two countries flared again the following year.) In 1955, legendary jazz musician Charlie “Bird” Parker died in New York at age 34. In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson won the New Hampshire Democratic primary, but Sen. Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota placed a strong second. In 1971, Hafez Assad was confirmed as president of Syria in a referendum. In 1985, conductor Eugene Ormandy, director of the Philadelphia Orchestra for more than four decades, died. In 1994, the Church of England ordained its first women priests. In 2003, Elizabeth Smart, the 15-yearold girl who’d vanished from her bedroom nine months earlier, was found alive in a Salt Lake City suburb with two drifters, Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Barzee, who are serving prison terms for kidnapping her.
Ten years ago: Brian Nichols, who had slain a judge and three other people, surrendered to authorities in suburban Atlanta after holding Ashley Smith hostage in her apartment. (Nichols was later sentenced to life in prison.) A gunman opened fire at a church meeting being held at a suburban Milwaukee hotel, killing seven people before taking his own life.
Five years ago: Two suicide bombers killed 55 people in near simultaneous blasts in Lahore, Pakistan, the fourth attack in a week.

Marsh receives national award
Across the Region Tupelo children’s home employee arrested TUPELO — A Tupelo children’s home employee has been arrested for abuse of a vulnerable person, announced Attorney General Jim Hood today. Whitney Nichole Foy, 27, of Shannon, turned herself in to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Monday following indictment by a Lee County Grand Jury for one count of Felonious Abuse of a Vulnerable Person. The indictment alleges that Foy bit a six year old child on the arm, causing injury, while employed at a privately owned facility in Tupelo which houses children who are in custody of the Mississippi Department of Human Services. Foy was released from custody after posting a $10,000 bond. If

Wife of slain U.S. marshal was expecting baby lings outside a nightclub. The scene was about 130 miles from his home in the Jackson suburb of Raymond, Mississippi. The suspect, Jamie D. Croom, 31, of New Roads, Louisiana, was hit multiple times in the shootout. He died early Wednesday, East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner William “Beau” Clark said. Channing Wells said the couple had been married nearly three years but had been together since both were 19 and going into their sophomore years at Jackson State University.

BY JANET MCCONNAUGHEY Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — The deputy U.S. marshal killed in a shootout was expecting his first child: a boy, his wife learned the day after his death. Channing Wells said Wednesday that the baby will be named Josie Wells Jr., after his father. The last thing she told her husband was that she had an appointment — but not until next week — to learn whether the baby was a boy or a girl. “The marshals took me to the hospital in Mississippi this morning so I could learn the baby’s gender. ... It’s bittersweet,” she said Wednesday in a phone interview from Baton Rouge. Josie Wells, 27, was killed on the outskirts of that city Tuesday in a shootout with a man suspected of killing two sib-
to drive her to another state for her board examination, she said. Later, she said, she encouraged her husband to look beyond his original ambition to service as a federal marshal. “His dream was just to become a local police officer,” she said. “I told him, ‘Don’t settle for that. Why don’t you find the highest level of law enforcement you can do?’” Wells’ father, Obie Wells Sr., who turns 57 Thursday, said he, too, had followed a family member into law enforcement. He retired from the sheriff’s office in coastal Jackson County as a captain, and all of his sons followed him into the field. He said his surviving sons are a private security officer and police officers. One of his three daughters is studying criminal
justice at Jackson State, where Josie Wells earned his bachelor’s degree in the same subject. “She was planning on doing an internship with Josie,” he said. Obie Wells Sr., a selfdescribed cowboy who keeps horses and used to keep cattle on his 100acre spread in Wade, north of Pascagoula, said his longtime nickname is “Josie” after the Clint Eastwood title character in “The Outlaw Josey Wales.” He gave the name to his second son when his wife, Sherry, refused to let him follow George Foreman’s example and name all of his sons Obie, he said. Josie Wells joined the U.S. Marshals Service immediately after getting his degree four years ago, Obie Wells said. Authorities said he was the first deputy marshal killed in the line of duty since
2011. Croom had a long criminal record and faced first-degree murder charges in the deaths of Lechelle Rita Williams, 42, and her brother Sinica Lee Williams, 38, said Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff Beauregard Torres III. “It was drug-related — just an ongoing feud because of two sides,” Lt. Richard Torres said Wednesday. Channing Wells said that despite her husband’s death, she doesn’t regret encouraging him to join the U.S. Marshals Service. “He wouldn’t have been happy just being stuck in one position, not knowing there was more — that he could have a higher potential,” she said. And, she said, “He died doing what he wanted to do and what he loved.”

RALEIGH, N.C. — The truck driver whose failure to maneuver an oversized rig through a railroad crossing derailed an Amtrak train and injured 55 people this week is a convicted felon with a long history of traffic citations, court records show. John Devin Black, 43, has been cited for at least a dozen traffic violations, including speeding and driving with a revoked license multiple times, according to records reviewed and confirmed by The Associated Press. In Illinois, Black was arrested in December 2012 and charged with exceeding the permitted weight limit on his load.

State tax cuts winning versus adding services JACKSON — The next time Mississippi lawmakers say the state can’t afford something, don’t believe them. If there’s anything this year’s debate over tax cuts has laid bare, it’s that Mississippi state Jeff Amy brings in as much revenue in Columnist the future as Republican leaders predict, there are a lot of things the state could afford. It’s been clear since last summer that the current session was setting up to be a battle of tax cuts versus increasing funding for state services. So far, tax cut proposals are winning in a rout. But the decisions made could last far longer than through 2015 re-election campaigns. Lawmakers could set the stage for how much money there will be to pay for services over the next generation. For example, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves wants to cut $382 million worth of business franchise and individual income taxes. That number is awfully close to the $400 million a year that transportation officials say they need to cover the unmet maintenance needs of Mississippi’s roads and bridges. The Mississippi Economic Council is supposed to propose a solution to the problem late this year, including tax plans, just in time for the 2016 Legislature. Then there’s House Speaker Philip Gunn’s plan to phase out Mississippi’s personal income tax, which currently brings in $1.7 billion. Many Republicans oppose Medicaid expansion for ideological reasons — they dislike large government, distrust the feds and despise President Barack Obama. But they also worry about the money, considering Mississippi’s struggle to pay for its share of the current ever-more-expensive Medicaid program. A 2012 study by College Board economist Bob Neal found it would cost $560 million for the state share of Medicaid expansion in the first 12 years, averaging $47 million a year. By comparison, Mississippi is projected to be reimbursing $126 million a year to businesses that pay inventory taxes by 2017, in a tax cut passed in 2012. Republicans who oppose Medicaid expansion fear the state will pay a larger share of the check than currently projected. You could hear that last week when House Medicaid Chairman Bobby Howell, R-Kilmichael, again defended Mississippi’s decision not to expand care to adults making less than 138 percent of poverty incomes. “I just disagree,” Howell said. “We would have other costs.” But Gunn’s tax cut is so big that, if Mississippi took the individual income tax and devoted it to paying for Medicaid expansion instead of reducing it by those yearly amounts, the state could also pay the majority of the federal share. By the 2025 budget year, if Gunn’s tax cut is in full effect, it would reduce income tax collections by close to $1 billion a year. Neal projected the whole cost of the expansion that year in Mississippi, state and federal, would be $1.38 billion. Gunn’s plan, in particular is ringing alarm bells among education advocates. “It shows a complete disregard for the welfare of the people they were elected to serve,” wrote Nancy Loome of the Parents Campaign, which pushes for more K-12 funding. Though lawmakers are pledging to put more money into K-12 this year, the state’s funding formula is likely to remain $200 million short of what it says is needed to provide an adequate education. University presidents also reacted, sending out a letter suggesting that helping more Mississippians earn college degrees might do more for the state’s economy than tax cuts. “As our economy rebounds, let’s invest now in our public universities because our future depends upon it,” wrote the eight presidents, including incoming Higher Education Commissioner Jim Borsig, on Feb. 24. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)
Prayer for today My Father, I would remember that my life may decline from the neglect of small things; for as thou dost nourish the wheat from flakes of snow, and supply the springs from drops of rain, so thou wilt strengthen my soul from every little blessing. I pray that I may not forget to watch my habits, and keep track of the hours that culture and sustain my life. Amen.
A verse to share “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Proverbs 17:22
The ‘disparate impact’ racket The U.S. Department of Justice issued two reports last week, both growing out of the Ferguson, Missouri shooting of Michael Brown. The first report, about “the shooting death of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson” ought to be read by every American. It says in plain English what facts have been established by an autopsy on Michael Brown’s body – by three different pathologists, including one representing the family of Michael Brown – by DNA examination of officer Darren Wilson’s gun and police vehicle, by examination of the pattern of blood stains on the street where Brown died and by a medical report on officer Wilson, from the hospital where he went for treatment. The bottom line is that all this hard evidence, and more, show what a complete lie was behind all the stories of Michael Brown being shot in the back or being shot while raising his hands in surrender. Yet that lie was repeated, and dramatized in demonstrations and riots from coast to coast, as well as in the media and even in the halls of Congress. The other Justice Department report, issued
the same day – “Investigation of the Ferguson Police Department” – was Thomas a complete Sowell c o n t r a s t . Sweeping Columnist assumptions take the place of facts, and misleading statistics are thrown around recklessly. This second report is worth reading, just to get a sense of the contrast with the first. According to the second report, law enforcement in Ferguson has a “disparate impact” on blacks and is “motivated” by “discriminatory intent.” “Disparate impact” statistics have for decades been used, in many different contexts, to claim that discrimination was the reason why different groups are not equally represented as employees or in desirable positions or – as in this case – in undesirable positions as people arrested or fined. Like many other uses of “disparate impact” statistics, the Justice Department’s evidence against the Ferguson police department consists of numbers showing that the percentage of people stopped by police or fined in court is
larger than the percentage of blacks in the local population. The implicit assumption is that such statistics about particular outcomes would normally reflect the percentage of people in the population. But, no matter how plausible this might seem on the surface, it is seldom found in real life, and those who use that standard are seldom, if ever, asked to produce hard evidence that it is factually correct, as distinct from politically correct. Blacks are far more statistically “over-represented” among basketball stars in the NBA than among people stopped by police in Ferguson. Hispanics are similarly far more “over-represented” among baseball stars than in the general population. Asian Americans are likewise far more “over-represented” among students at leading engineering schools like M.I.T. and Cal Tech than in the population as a whole. None of this is peculiar to the United States. You can find innumerable examples of such group disparities in countries around the world and throughout recorded history. In 1802, for example, czarist Russia established a university in Estonia.
For most of the 19th century, members of one ethnic group provided more of the students – and a majority of the professors – than any other. This was neither the local majority (Estonians) nor the national majority (Russians), but Germans. An international study of the ethnic makeup of military forces around the world found that “militaries fall far short of mirroring, even roughly, the multi-ethnic societies” from which they come. Even with things whose outcomes are not in human hands, “disparate impact” is common. Men are struck by lightning several times as often as women. Most of the tornadoes in the entire world occur in the middle of the United States. Since the population of Ferguson is 67 percent black, the greatest possible “over-representation” of blacks among those stopped by police or fined by courts is 50 percent. That would not make the top 100 disparities in the United States or the top 1,000 in the world.

Most members of Congress share Netanyahu’s view If anyone had any doubts that most members of Congress oppose the Obama administration’s proposed nuclear deal with Iran, they can put them aside after viewing the response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress Tuesday. Fifty-some Democratic members chose not to attend. Joe Biden arranged to be out of town, and Barack Obama let it be known that he didn’t even have time to watch on television. But the House chamber was packed, the galleries were filled and Netanyahu was interrupted multiple times not only with applause but boisterous cheers. In negotiations with Iran, continued beyond two previously proclaimed deadlines, Obama has dropped demands that Iran disassemble centrifuges needed to produce nuclear weapons material. And he has proposed a 10-year time limit on the deal. Those concessions, Netanyahu argued, make this a “very bad deal” that “would all but guarantee that Iran gets those weapons, lots of them.” It’s hard to disagree.

Obama’s position is apparently that the Iranians won’t agree to anything more Michael s t r i n g e n t . Barone The president seems Columnist to be suffering from the compulsion afflicting some parties to a lengthy negotiation: the urge to get to some kind of agreement, however disadvantageous. The strongest argument for the administration is that any alternative would be worse. Democrats argued that Netanyahu’s recommendation – to maintain sanctions and increase demands – would be rejected, leaving military action as the only alternative. Obama, like George W. Bush, has said that all alternatives remain on the table. But he seems even more reluctant than Bush to launch an attack. Unlike Bush, he seems to believe that reaching an accord with Iran could change the character of the Iranian regime. He is ever ready to apologize for America’s past sins, like overthrow-
ing an Iranian government 62 years ago, and evidently believes that the mullahs will be grateful to reach accommodation with what he describes as a different kind of American president. Netanyahu disagrees. He notes that the mullah regime, in power for more than 35 years, has been a consistent and sometimes deadly enemy of the United States. He notes that Iran’s Arab neighbors doubt it will change. With all this, almost all of the Republican members in Congress tend to agree. So do many Democrats – notably Bob Menendez of New Jersey, formerly chairman and now ranking minority member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Menendez and other Democrats got Republicans to postpone consideration of legislation extending sanctions on Iran unless it agrees to stringent concessions until the current March 24 deadline. Netanyahu’s speech increases the chances they will agree to press such legislation after that. Obama has strongly opposed such legislation, claiming it would torpedo negotiations – even though

he admits that sanctions drove Iran to the negotiating table. And the administration has made it plain that it has no intention of submitting whatever agreement it obtains for congressional approval. Congress may not find a way to prevent Obama from making the deal he apparently desperately wants. But the cheers for Netanyahu may push the administration to make tougher demands. Moreover, the next administration could undo any agreement, as Obama in declining to get a status of forces agreement with Iraq undid Bush’s success in the surge. Iran’s leaders have threatened to rain nuclear weapons on geographically compact Israel. That’s a threat that Israel’s leaders cannot ignore – and one that most members of Congress evidently take seriously as well.

Military chief voices concern about IS WASHINGTON — America’s top military officer says that while Iran’s support in the fight against Islamic State militants is helpful, the U.S. remains concerned about what happens “after the drums stop beatingâ€? and IS is defeated. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday that anything anyone does to counter IS is a “positive thing.â€? But he said there is concern about whether Iran-backed militamen, who are Shia, will turn against Sunni Iraqis, further destabilizing Iraq. “We are all concerned about what happens after the drums stop beating and ISIL is defeated, and whether the government of Iraq will remain on a path to provide an inclusive government for all of the various groups within it,â€? Dempsey said, using an acronym for the militant group. “We’re very concerned about that.â€? “What we are watching carefully is whether the militias — they call themselves the Popular Mobilization Forces — whether, when they recapture lost territory, whether they engage in acts of retribution and ethnic cleansing,â€? he said. “There’s no indication that that is a widespread event at this point, but we’re watching closely.â€? Â
State Department found lax on emails WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department’s internal watchdog has found that many department employees are not preserving emails for the public record as required by the government. That could mean a substantial amount of lost government information. The inspector general’s office, in a report out Wednesday, said that in 2011, when Hillary Rodham Clinton was secretary of state, department employees wrote more than 1 billion emails but only marked 61,156 for the public record. There’s
no way to know from the figures how many should have been designated as public records. Even fewer were marked for public records, 41,749, in 2013, the year when she left the department. Clinton is under scrutiny for using her personal email exclusively for official nonclassified business during her tenure and for doing so with a private server. The new report does not address the use of personal email accounts, which the department discouraged employees from using in earlier guidance. But the investigation found that employees had no central oversight of their record-keeping responsibilities with email, many did not know about the rules and some feared the consequences of their emails being searched and exposed. Â
Obama, GOP hit new low on relations WASHINGTON — Relations between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans have hit a new low. There has been little direct communication between Obama and the GOP leadership on Capitol Hill since Republicans took full control of Congress in January. Obama has threatened to veto more than a dozen Republican-backed bills. And House Speaker John Boehner infuriated the White House by inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress without consulting the administration first. But the dispute over Obama’s high-stakes nuclear negotiations with Iran has put the relationship perhaps beyond repair. The president and his advisers are seething over Republican efforts to undermine the sensitive discussions with Iran, most recently by sending an “open letter� to the country’s leaders warning that any nuclear deal could expire the day Obama walks out of the Oval Office. “I cannot recall another instance in which senators wrote directly to advise another country — much less a longtime foreign adver-

sary — that the president does not have the constitutional authority to reach a meaningful understanding with them,â€? Vice President Joe Biden, who spent nearly four decades in the Senate, said in an unusually harsh statement. For their part, Republican lawmakers call their outreach to a hostile nation a reasonable response to an administration they say has spurned Congress and ignored its prerogatives at every turn. It’s the starkest sign yet that Republicans see an adversary, not a potential partner, in Obama’s White House — even on foreign policy issues where partisan differences have traditionally been somewhat muted.

Needs voucher bill inches forward JACKSON — A proposal to create state-funded vouchers for a small fraction of special education students is moving forward in the Mississippi Legislature. The House voted 6551 Wednesday to pass a version of Senate Bill 2695. Because the House made some changes, the bill is likely to be sent into a final round of House-Senate negotiations later this month. The bill would create a five-year program to give vouchers worth $6,500 apiece to 500 specialneeds students per year. Participation would be limited to 2,500 students at the end of the five years. Students’ families could use the public money for private school tuition or for tutoring or other educational services. Supporters, including Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, are pushing to voucher program a way to help some of the 63,000 special-needs students in Mississippi. “I think the worst thing we can do is nothing,â€? said House Education Committee Chairman John Moore, R-Brandon. Opponents say the voucher proposal would do too little for too few students. The House on Wednesday defeated several amendments offered by Democrats. One, by Rep. David Baria of Bay St. Louis, would have created a small group of attorneys to represent families of special-needs students when they meet with local school officials to discuss the “individualized educational programâ€? that is required for each special education student. Baria said parents who can’t afford to hire an attorney might feel overwhelmed by the attorneys who represent school districts. Â
Health insurance aid in doubt WASHINGTON — Nearly 8 million people could lose up to $24 billion a year in health insurance subsidies in a Supreme Court case threatening President Barack Obama’s law, according to a government report released Tuesday. The estimates by The Associated Press show what’s at stake in the case. Health overhaul opponents argue that subsidies are illegal in states where the federal government took charge of running the health insurance marketplaces, or exchanges. The justices heard arguments last week, and the court’s decision is expected in late June. Tuesday’s report from the Department of Health and Human Services shows that about 7.7 million people in the 37 states with federallyrun markets are getting an average of $263 a month to help pay premiums. That works out to around $2 billion a month, although it may drop over the year as the number of people insured fluctuates. The biggest potential loser would be Florida, with nearly 1.5 million residents getting an average of $294 a month. That works to $440 million a month currently, or up to $5.2 billion a year for the state. The subsidies are delivered in the form of tax credits.
central Mississippi. Pediatric deaths are defined as deaths of people under 18 years of age. Since such deaths became reportable during the 2007-2008 flu season, there have been a total of 14 in Mississippi. State Epidemiologist Dr. Thomas Dobbs says the flu vaccine is the best way to prevent infection, and vaccination can reduce the risk of complications and death. Â
State weighs edict on cancer drug cost JACKSON — Health insurers would be banned from making patients pay higher out-of-pocket costs for oral medication taken at home than for chemotherapy taken in a health care facility, under a bill moving through the Mississippi Legislature. One version of House Bill 952 passed the Senate after more than an hour of debate Wednesday. It will likely go to a final round of HouseSenate negotiations later this month. Republican Sen. Terry Burton of Newton says more than 30 other states already do what Mississippi is proposing. He says it’s unfair to patients that insurers won’t cover a big portion of the cost for cancer-fighting drugs that are available only in pill form. Â

Glavan selected as Biloxi’s acting mayor BILOXI — The Biloxi City Council unanimously accepted the resignation of Mayor A.J. Holloway and selected council President Kenny Glavan as acting mayor. Even before Tuesday’s meeting began, The Sun Herald reports Councilwoman Dixie Newman became the first council member to announce she will run in the election to fill Holloway’s unexpired term. Felix Gines, who was appointed as acting mayor when Holloway went into rehab Jan. 29, saluted the six-term mayor for his unprecedented time and service to Biloxi over 22 years. Kenny Holloway, the 75-year-old mayor’s brother, delivered a resignation letter last week to Biloxi Administration Director David Nichols. A.J. Holloway said he was leaving office due to an accumulation of health issues. Before the voting began for an acting mayor to serve until a special election, Glavan told his fellow council members, “Let’s keep our focus on the dignity of Biloxi.� He asked that the council be defined by its “good deeds, not its differences.�

Meat industry fights new dietary proposal BY MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The meat industry is seeing red. Meat companies have tried to rehabilitate an image tarnished in recent years by health and environmental concerns. Now the industry is swiftly and aggressively working to discredit a proposal for new dietary guidelines that recommends people eat less red and processed meat. The proposal last month by a government advisory committee also relegates the health benefits of lean meat to a footnote to the main recommendations. “We’ve been put in a position over the years to almost be apologizing for our product, we’re not going to do that anymore,� said Barry Carpenter, the president and CEO of the North American Meat Institute. The meat industry long has been one of the more powerful lobbies in Washington, enjoying an especially close relationship with the Agriculture Department, which has inspectors in meat pro-
cessing plants. Together, the meat processing and livestock industries spent about $7 million on lobbying last year and donated more than $5 million to members of Congress in the last election cycle, according to the political money and influence tracking website OpenSecrets.org. Meat industry executives say their push is about the American perception of red meat, rather than just dollars, though the guidelines can have an eventual impact on government purchases for the military and school lunches. Carpenter’s group recently released a video of the slaughter process to counter criticism about the way animals are killed. It also is trying to better engage with consumers through social media, tweeting links to its “Meat Mythcrushers� site, which looks at nutrition and other issues from the industry’s point of view. Now, they are pushing the departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, which will write final dietary
guidelines by year’s end. They are meeting with officials and asking them to do what they have done in the past: prominently recommend lean meats as part of a healthy diet. They also are asking their many, mostly Republican, allies in Congress to pressure the Obama administration. Congress appears ready to help. “The secretaries share responsibility for these flawed recommendations,� said House Agriculture Chairman Michael Conaway, R-Texas. Conaway was among the House members who wrote the departments last week about the overall recommendations, including advice that people eat a more sustainable, plant-based diet because it is better for the environment. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has not said what the final guidelines will look like. But he has pledged to keep them focused on nutrition and diet, giving the meat industry some hope that perhaps at least the environmental portion could be left out.
AP officials sue State Department, seeking access to Clinton records Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Associated Press filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the State Department to force the release of email correspondence and government documents from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. The legal action comes after repeated requests filed under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act have gone unfulfilled. They include one request AP made five years ago and others pending since the summer of 2013. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, comes a day after Clinton broke her silence about her use of a private email account while secretary of state. The FOIA requests and lawsuit seek materials related to her public and private cal-
endars, correspondence involving longtime aides likely to play key roles in her expected campaign for president, and Clinton-related emails about the Osama bin Laden raid and National Security Agency surveillance practices. “After careful deliberation and exhausting our other options, The Associated Press is taking the necessary legal steps to gain access to these important documents, which will shed light on actions by the State Department and former Secretary Clinton, a presumptive 2016 presidential candidate, during some of the most significant issues of our time,� said Karen Kaiser, AP’s general counsel. Said AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll, “The Freedom of Information Act exists to give citizens a clear view of
what government officials are doing on their behalf. When that view is denied, the next resort is the courts.� State Department spokesman Alec Gerlach declined to comment. He had previously cited the department’s heavy annual load of FOIA requests — 19,000 last year — in saying that the department “does its best to meet its FOIA responsibilities.� He said the department takes requests “first in, first out,� but noted that timing depends on “the complexity of the request.� Carroll said the AP was filing additional requests Wednesday using FOIA and other tools following the disclosure last week that Clinton had used a private email account run on a server on her property outside New York while working at the State Department.

OUR CHANGING WORLD Years ago people did not bother to lock their doors before retiring at night, but it is different now because our world has changed. All kinds of violence is now reported daily by the news media. Something is responsible for the drastic changes that have taken place in our world. Our world has changed because of changes that have taken place in the minds of people. Man is a product of the kind of thinking that he does. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: . .. "(Prov 23:7). Our world has been led away from the teaching of the Bible and no longer has the respect for God and His word that it once had. When people read and study the Bible, it builds respect for God, His word and other people. The Bible is still alive and able to change the lives of people for the better. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart' (Heb 4: 12). The only hope for our changing world is to come back to the Bible and follow its teaching. The world was sure different when there was greater respect for the Bible. The Bible is the only inspired, inerrant and infallible book in all the world. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness": (2 Tun 3: 16). It is the only book that tells who we are, where we came from, how we are to live and where we are going when this life is over. The Bible reveals to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue": (2 Peter I :3). People are now living in the fast lane and are focused primarily on material things. The Bible is the only reliable standard of right and wrong and unless we study, believe and obey God's instruction, we will continue to be a violent world headed for self destruction. Notice what will happen to the wicked and those that forget God in Psalms 9:17. " The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God ". Our violent world can only be changed for the better when it accepts and follows God's instructions given in the Bible. Our world was much better when we tried to followed the Bible.

Rain and ice and not much nice this winter So far, March has been a disappointment. I am so ready for Spring, not more of the same ole, same ole. There are things I love about Winter, its spare beauty and the deep quiet back here in the woods. Hot soup and comforters and the smell of cedar’s smoke. But Winter has more than its fair share of trials. Driving rain and ice storms and chest colds. Cold feet, cold hands, and all those layers of clothes that we’re constantly dragging on and dragging off again. Worst of all for folks like me is the day after day of dull and dingy light. Bleak is how it looks, and bleak is how I feel. This is the time of year you’re most likely to find dishes piled up in my sink. I struggle to keep on keeping on. In November and December, the light is lousy, too, but I’m drawn despite myself into the hustle and bustle of holiday planning and holiday prep.
Our Christmas came and went in its usual blaze of glory, 24 beloved elders and youngsters and in-betweeners Ryland gathered around Bruhwiler the tree the enthusiasts had Columnist hauled in from the forest. When the last of our houseguests departed, they left me with a boatload of memories. 16 loads of laundry. And January and February. Spring seems so far off it can hardly be imagined or hoped for. This is when I need a project to lose myself in. It’d be just fine with John if I set up shop in his study where he keeps a woodstove burning. But I need to read and work alone. No chatting. No TV. No dog’s wet nose nudging my elbow: Pet me! Walk me! That means I spend most of the winter in the kitchen at the
Nothing tastes better than stolen watermelon BY JIMMY REED Columnist
Mark Twain must have stolen a few watermelons when he was a boy. That is why he once said, “The true Southern watermelon is a boon apart, not to be mentioned with commoner things. It is king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took. We know it because she repented.” I couldn’t agree more. Nothing tastes better than sweet, juicy watermelon. It’s good store bought, better home grown, best stolen. “You won’t believe the watermelon patch we found hidden in a bend of Deer Creek,” my pal Clyde said one Saturday morning. “Let’s rob it tonight.” Later that day, I asked Jaybird, my boyhood best friend and mentor, if he’d ever stolen anything. “When folks gits hungry ’nough, dey’ll steal — hit don’t make no diffunce how righteous dey is when dey ain’t hungry,” the old black man said. “Dat don’t make stealin’ right, but I ’madgin hit’s less sinful to steal when you is starvin’ dan fuh udder reasons. Back in de Great Depression, dey wuz times I stole to eat.” “Me and my pals are robbing a watermelon patch tonight,” I boasted. “Whar de patch?” he asked.“Clyde said it’s hidden in a bend of Deer Creek.” After staring at me for a moment, he said, “Yep, dat’s whar dey grows best — in good sandy soil lak on a creek bank. If I wuz gonna grow some melons, dat’s whar I’d have a patch. Just remember what I said: When starvin’ folks steal to eat hit’s bad enough, but hit’s sho’nuff agin’ de Ten Commandments to steal when dey gittin’ plenty to eat lak you do.” Still, the temptation was too great, and I went against Jaybird’s advice. The moon was out when
Nothing tastes better than sweet, juicy watermelon. It’s good store bought, better home grown, best stolen. we arrived at the watermelon patch, and we had no trouble finding two huge melons that would qualify for the king and queen over all the fruits of the earth. Snickering, Earl said, “Let’s cut ’em open right here. Since they are way more than we can eat, we’ll leave behind what’s left over. That will made the owner mighty angry.” We had barely chomped down on the first juicy bite when a familiar voice thundered, “Hit sho as hell will.” We were in Jaybird’s watermelon patch! Before we could move, he was towering over us, blinding us with his huge flashlight. “Y’all got two choices — ride wit me to town and ’fess up to de sheriff, or sit rat dar and eat evuh bite o’ dose two melons.” We chose the latter. Soon our bellies were bloated, but every time we stopped eating, Jaybird threatened to take us to town. When nothing was left but rinds, he looked down with a justifiable smirk on a bunch of miserable boys, turned, and disappeared into the night. Once again, the wise old man taught me an unforgettable life lesson. I never stole again.

other end of the house huddled in an old rocker next to the gas heater. Why heat up our bedroom just to keep me halfway warm in the little nook at its end where I have my desk? I love that room when it’s full of sunlight. But there’s precious little sun during Jan. and Feb., and I’m not wild about staring out at dreary skies. I’ve thought for years I ought to turn our corner guestroom into my “winter office.” My grandad’s fine old desk is stored there, and since it sits above John’s study, it’s the second warmest room in the house. The hot metal stovepipe from the woodstove rises through the bedroom floor and on up through the roof. I’ve often thought, All that nice heat-what a waste. If only that NW room weren’t so drab and dark. Something could be done about that. (Aha! A project!) I’d already turned a couple of full-sized, antique quilts
into wall hangings. Their vibrant colors cheered things up. I brought in extra lights. Hung pictures. Rearranged furniture. Repaired a garage-sale quilt for the bed that picked up the rosy pinks and salmons in the wall hangings and the rugs. The place began to feel inviting. But then I sat down in the easy chair and found myself facing a heavy old bureau across the room, tucked into the darkest corner under the low-pitched ceiling. It cried out for something bright and cheery, a focal point for the many times I’d lift my eyes from the books or papers. What I really wanted was a fireplace with a stone hearth. Nothing better than a crackling woodfire to drive the winter blahs away. My grandfather built beautiful blazes, one of my favorite memories. I’d sit, warm as toast, with my feet on the low brass bars that surrounded it, gazing into the flickering flames
and slowly eating ice cream and canned peaches. John’s woodstove in his study does not have the same magic. Even though I love this rough but wonderful cabin that he built out here on the farm much more than our conventional house in Memphis, it did have a fireplace we enjoyed so much that well into April we’d turn the ceiling fan on so we could enjoy our evening fires for another week or two. Ah, well. Never mind. No way we could build a fireplace in a corner of this upstairs room. That’s when inspiration struck. But that’s a story for another day.

Business can be cutthroat situation Unfinished Business. R. **. Vince Vaughn, Tom Wilkinson, Dave Fraco, Brittan Sear, Ella Anderson. Regency Enterprises. Director Ken Scott. Length 91 minutes. The movie begins as Dan Trunkman (Vince Vaughn) loses his job. He decides to open his own business, and he becomes a competitor to the company he worked for when he was fired. Since he opens the same kind business, he knows the ends and outs of success. Trunkman hires Timothy McWinters (Tom Wilkinson) and Mike Pankcake (Dave Fraco) to help him become successful. His new employees do not seem to know much about how to be successful. But low and behold he begins to flourish. Dan, Timothy and Mike have an opportunity to obtain a business from a European company. It is an excellent chance to increase his prospect with a large amount of money. Dan needs to send his young son
Paul (Britton Sear) to a private school, because he is being bullied at his school. Bullying is a big problem in schools. Teachers, adminisTerry trators and students Burns need to be aware of this sad situation of Movie Critic bullying in schools and neighborhoods. Paul is not very aggressive, but lots of students are that way. He just wants to be left alone. Paul’s sister, Bess (Ella Anderson), is younger than Paul, but she is one tough young lady when it comes to protecting her brother. Parents sometimes are not aware of the situation taking place at schools and neighborhoods. Everyone needs to be alert to helping others. Parents, teachers and other students must be aware of the surroundings, and be of assistance to those who are being terrorized and hurt wherever it happens.
Unfortunately, bullying happens on Facebook, Internet, Instagram, in schools, and hundreds of other options that are out there. It is a shame the Internet and people will not use their minds correctly and in a civil way. All of the above took place in the movie to demonstrate that children are bullying. The movie had entirely too much strong language, graphic nudity and drug use. I feel obligated to let the readers know the above facts. That way each person can make his own decisions. They have a “wild and crazy party,” as Steve Martin would say. Everything really gets weird. In other words, they got enumerated. I must say the movie just did not bring home the bacon. It had its moments, but not enough to give it a high rating. (Terry Burns is the movie critic for the Daily Corinthian. A twostar rating means fair.)
Police dogs laid to rest in their own cemetery Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — It’s a place of honor for those who sniffed out crime and brought down crooks. On a bluff beneath tall oak trees and overlooking rolling green hills, police dogs from one California agency are laid to rest. The cemetery for K-9s from the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office on the Central Coast is a unique option. Among U.S. law enforcement agencies, it’s more common for dogs to be buried or their ashes scattered on the handler’s property, in a pet cemetery or at the center that trained them. No matter where they end up, dogs killed on the job usually can expect a funeral similar to a slain
officer’s, said Russ Hess, national executive director of the United States Police Canine Association. That means a crowded service with eulogies, a color guard and the playing of taps. But “there is no right or wrong way to bury a K-9,” said Hess, who retired as police chief of Jackson Township, Ohio, to become head of the 3,000-member association that certifies K-9 teams. Hess said he doesn’t know of any other law enforcement agency with a police dog cemetery on their grounds. Some training academies have graveyards, while cities often honor fallen K-9s in other ways — by naming parks for them or putting up statues or plaques. In the California department,
K-9 funerals didn’t receive full law enforcement honors until the cemetery opened in March 2013. “It was something that needed to happen,” Cmdr. Aaron Nix said. “The K-9s are deputies.” He said the dogs “are members of our patrol force, and this was our way of rectifying that.” Even dogs that die in retirement have a place on the hill. Senior Deputy and K-9 coordinator Allen Barger lobbied to have the space turned into a graveyard for all department K-9s after the dog he handled for nine years, Jake, died of cancer in 2010. Confiscated drug money funded the memorial park, and jail inmates helped Barger build it.

Almost equal The value of the euro is in a prolonged slide. On Wednesday the value of Europes single currency fell to its lowest level since April 2003 – $1.0535. Back in May it traded as high as $1.40. The dramatic decline means that Americans can stretch their dollars further on their European vacations. That could provide a welcome boost for European economies, many of which count on
tourism for jobs and revenue. The main driver for the weakening euro has been the actions of the European Central Bank. It has cut interest rates and increased the number of euros in circulation, diluting their value. Ultimately, companies based in the U.S. that sell in Europe are likely to take a hit because their products have become less affordable for European buyers.
Foreign exchange The euro has fallen to $1.0535, approaching parity with the U.S. dollar for the first time in 13 years.

Reader asks how she can work with her family WIZARD OF ID

Dear Annie: I have been married for 22 years. I started working when I was 14 and didn’t stop until I started having medical issues two years ago. The problem is my family. My husband doesn’t think it is important that our two kids, ages 20 and 21, have jobs. I have tried repeatedly to help them find employment because they won’t bother to try on their own. But they’ll stay at a job for a month or two, and then they leave. My husband doesn’t think there is a problem. When I bring it up, my son yells at me, and my husband doesn’t care. He says at least our son attends night classes twice a week. Our daughter’s self-esteem is very low, and I am worried about her. I am sick of the arguments about the kids not doing more around the house and not finding work. I have moved out of the house and in with a friend. Was I wrong to do this? How do I make my husband see that the kids should have jobs? -- Expect Better Dear Expect: Well, if you are out of the house, no one will push those kids to find work, and your husband will be supporting everyone. Perhaps he will then realize that keeping the children dependent and childlike is not in any-
Annie’s Mailbox one’s best interest and insist that the kids contribute somehow to the household. But it won’t solve everything. We hate to sound like a broken record, but counseling could help both of you deal more respectfully with each other and more effectively with your kids. Even if your husband won’t go, counseling could help you work out better ways of negotiating so that you have other choices besides frustration and walking out. Dear Annie: My “Uncle Lucius” is 88 and has lived in an assisted-living facility for several years. He’s not crazy about living there, but recognizes that he can no longer live on his own. He also has no interest in senior activities or much else. Here’s the problem: When taking him to a restaurant or bringing him to my home, he frequently refuses to leave at the end of the evening. Uncle Lucius has a normal appetite, but spends most of the time talking instead of eating. When everyone is nearly finished and he’s prodded
to eat, he routinely says he is too rushed, even if two hours have passed, and that he can’t chew his food, even if the meal is soup. He’ll demand new food to take home. If he’s told there is no food to take, he suddenly has no problem eating everything on his plate within 15 minutes. Uncle Lucius has become so difficult that I am reluctant to pick him up and take him places. Any suggestions? -- Anonymous Dear Anonymous: We think Uncle Lucius is lonely and uses these outings as an excuse to be the center of attention, and he wants to prolong the experience. You are a kind soul to pick him up and have him for dinner, but we can see that your patience is wearing thin. Let Lucius know that any food he doesn’t finish at the time you are ready to leave will be put in a plastic bag for him to take home. Then do it. You also might visit with him in his care facility, asking him to show you around or perhaps visiting at a time when there is an activity you can do together that takes the same amount of time as you would have spent having dinner with him. Please try to be tolerant.

Dad’s choice of movies is inappropriate for young kids D E A R ABBY: Recently, my father has begun to watch films with graphic sexual scenes Abigail when he gets from Van Buren home work. When I ask him to Dear Abby please watch them on his own time, when my three younger siblings aren’t in the house, he tells me that because he pays the bills he has the right to do what he wants. Abby, not only do these graphic movies make me uncomfortable, I’m worried my siblings will begin asking questions. -- UNCOMFORTABLE IN OREGON DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE: If there are adult relatives who can convince your dad that what he’s doing is unwise -- an aunt, uncle, grandparent -- talk to them about what’s going on right away. If there aren’t, then a trusted teacher or counselor at school should be informed because what your father is doing is extremely inappropriate. Exposing children to graphic images can give them unrealistic expectations about what sex is really all about. DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend and I have talked about becoming engaged. The subject of the wed-
ding dress came up. She broke off a past engagement last year, and she has asked me whether it would be OK for her to use the dress she chose for the wedding that didn’t happen. She says only her mother and the seamstress have seen it. She doesn’t want to be out $1,000 and says she does not associate the gown with her exfiance. I feel we should try to sell the dress, although it was tailored for her, and pick a new one. What do you think is appropriate? I don’t like the idea of looking back at the wedding photos and thinking the dress was meant for another man. -- FUTURE HUSBAND IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DEAR HUSBAND: Actually, the dress was meant for your fiancee and not another man. There are specialists who can redesign an existing wedding dress. However, because you have negative associations with this gown, offer to sweeten the pot by chipping in if she can’t get $1,000 for the one she has. I think the most “appropriate” thing on your wedding day should be that you are both comfortable, happy and, above all, in sync. DEAR ABBY: I don’t sympathize or empathize with others. When people are sad or upset over deaths, failed relationships,
etc., my reaction is annoyance at the person because I feel I’m being forced to offer an emotion I don’t genuinely feel. I have experienced all of these things in my own life, but I have never shed tears about them or let them cripple me. I view these things as part of life and move on. As I get older, it is getting harder and harder for me to fake these emotions. My wife was in tears for a couple of days because someone she knew died. I tried to pretend to empathize with her, but I found myself getting annoyed by what I thought was her overreaction. Someone she knew died; it happens to all of us. Let’s move on. Is something wrong with me? -- MOVING ON IN TENNESSEE DEAR MOVING ON: Some people live the veneer of life; others live the hardwood. It appears you are among the former and insulated against painful emotions. However, I’m cautioning you to be patient and show respect for the feelings of others who have more emotional depth, or you may be spending a lot of time alone in the future. 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). You admire self-control. That’s why you relate more readily to a person who is apparently struggling to hold back emotions and remain decorous than you do to someone who displays every passing feeling. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You wish your emotions had a volume control knob that you could twist at your leisure. Maybe they do! The more you practice the better you manage your feelings. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your sense of humor will send a message: You’ve already risen above the petty squabbles and whatever other unpleasantness happens to be standing in the way of a good time. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone has insecurities about where they stand in a group. Your sensitivity to the topic will endear you to those who feel anxious and unsure of their standing. They are learning to
trust you, and you are learning to lead them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You lived it, and you can’t unlive it. But you can put a new frame on this little piece of history -- one that goes better with the new paint on the walls of your psyche. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may feel like you have to hide your true identity, but that’s not a horrible plight. Pretending to be less than who you are is the fate of all superheroes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Avoid argument. A peaceful aura is attractive. In the evening, a loved one will impress you. Be sure to voice your feelings and share them. This person could use the validation. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mistakes will happen during practice. Actually, mistakes are the very essence of practice. If there are no mistakes, it only means you’re not stretching enough. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You don’t really need a rescue, but someone will offer you help, and you would be wise to take it. Not only will it make your life easier, but the “helper” will get more from the experience than you will. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When the machines won’t let you accomplish what you need to do, it’s a sign. Instead of calling technical support, which could take hours, move on to the next (non-digital and ultimately rewarding) task. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Let someone in on your driving ambition, because help is all around you. With the support of a team, your best qualities will shine: a light heart, a witty tongue and a heartwarming laugh. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have more charisma than you know what to do with. There are people out there gauging their social status by how much attention and affection they get from you.

Seldom-used earlier in the year, the freshman swingman has been pressed into duty due to injury and is emerging as one of Michigan’s top offensive options.

Has rough season taken luster off March? BY DAVE SKRETTA Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On a cold night on Tobacco Road, North Carolina and Duke went back and forth in an overtime thriller. It was gripping, edgeof-your seat stuff. Tense down to the final second. In short, it looked nothing like the Blue Devils’ game against Florida State nine days earlier, when the teams missed five 3-pointers, two free throws and committed five turnovers all before the first media timeout. The Seminoles
led at that point, 2-0. “Never seen a media timeout with a score quite like this,� tweeted ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, an outspoken critic of the current state of college hoops. “Maybe in baseball.� Bilas is not alone in his concern for the current state of college hoops. Scoring is at a near-record low this season. Fouls are soaring. Attendance has dropped precipitously in many places, and television ratings are struggling to reach last year’s levels. “When you think about
it, it’s a spectator sport,� said Utah State athletic director Scott Barnes, the chairman of the NCAA tournament selection committee. “So how folks view it — I guess, watchability — would be a big piece of it. Are they entertained?� The fact that the upcoming NCAA Tournament, long-considered recession proof, has struggled to build buzz is perhaps the most damning evidence of the dire state of the game. “I do have some healthy concerns,� said Dan
Gavitt, the NCAA’s vice president for men’s college basketball. Attendance in men’s Division I basketball has fallen seven straight seasons, from an average of 5,327 in 200607 to 4,817 last year. The Southeastern Conference even asked its TV partners for flexibility in scheduling to help drive fans to the arena. Not that life has been easy on broadcasters, either. ESPN and CBS, two networks with a long college basketball tradition, have both weathered a decline in ratings this sea-
son. As of last week, ESPN was averaging just under 1.5 million viewers on its main network for men’s basketball games, down about 6 percent from the same period last year. The NCAA tried to intervene last year, instituting a series of rules reforms designed to boost scoring and free up offenses to do what they do best. They have failed to stick. Now, some schools have resorted to outlandish gimmicks to sell seats, and TV executives have been force to expand pregame shows
to help drive interest. “There are a lot of things competing for eyeballs,� said Nick Dawson, the senior director of programming and acquisitions for ESPN, whose job is to help televise more than 1,300 games. “We do so many games, you see all kinds,� Dawson said. “There are some played at a high level, fantastic entertainment value, great flow. We’ve seen a bunch. But you also get a bunch that don’t have that flow and that don’t live up to those expectations.�

QB Locker retires, no desire left BY TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Quarterback Jake Locker has retired from football rather than hit free agency after four NFL seasons with the Tennessee Titans, saying he no longer has the “burning desire” needed to keep playing the game for a living. Locker wrote Tuesday in a statement released through his agent, Camron Hahn, that he decided to retire after talking with his family. Locker officially became a free agent when his contract expired Tuesday. “Football has always played a pivotal role in my life and I love the game, but I no longer have the burning desire necessary to play the game for a living,” Locker,
26, said in the statement. “To continue to do so would be unfair to the next organization with whom I would eventually sign. I realize this decision is surprising to many, but I know in my heart that it is the right decision and I look forward to spending more time with my family and pursuing other interests.” The Titans drafted Locker with the eighth pick overall out of Washington in 2011, but he was benched last October. He played behind Matt Hasselbeck in his first season, then was named the starter for 2012. But Locker missed 14 of his first 32 potential starts because of injuries, and the Titans declined to pick up his 2015 option with a new coach in Ken Whisenhunt.
Locker played only seven games with five starts in 2014 because of separate injuries before Whisenhunt benched him for rookie Zach Mettenberger. Locker played in 30 games in his career, starting 23, and he threw for 4,967 yards with 27 touchdowns and 22 interceptions and a career 57.5 completion percentage. The mobile quarterback also averaged 6.8 yards per carry and ran for 644 yards with five touchdowns. There were questions about his future going into last season with the second head coach of his career and a third different offensive coordinator. The Titans had drafted Mettenberger in the sixth round and signed veteran Charlie Whitehurst.
Locker said last year at the start of training camp that winning drove him, not money. During his time in Tennessee, the Titans had only one winning record at 9-7 in his rookie season. “I’ve been fortunate,” Locker said last July. “My wife and I have been smart with our money, and we have. We’re fine. We don’t have to worry about it. So I get the freedom and the ability to go out and play for this football team and have fun.” Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan, Tennessee’s top draft pick last season, wrote on Twitter that Locker was one of the most genuine people he had ever met. “He will be successful no matter!” Lewan wrote.

Colts start free agency with Cole, Gore BY MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts are betting big on experience. On Tuesday, they fortified one of the NFL’s younger rosters with three longtime NFL veterans — outside linebacker Trent Cole, running back Frank Gore and defensive end Kendall Langford — in a freeagent spending spree that
may not be over. Indianapolis also is reportedly interested in adding former Texans receiver Andre Johnson. “I’ve watched the Colts over the past few years and I know what kind of team they are,” said Cole, a pass-rushing linebacker who spent his first 10 seasons with the Eagles before being released last week. “They’re a Super Bowl-caliber team. The biggest thing of
all, they have a great quarterback.” Cole, Gore and Langford are joining a team that has made three straight playoff appearances, won back-to-back division crowns and advanced one step deeper in the playoffs in each of Andrew Luck’s three seasons. In January, the Colts reached the AFC championship game before losing 45-7 to eventual Super Bowl
champion New England. That postseason run convinced Indianapolis general manager Ryan Grigson to become even more aggressive filling holes with his trademark unconventional approach. Last month, he signed two CFL veterans. Last week, he brought in a defensive end Please see COLTS | 13
Alabama’s Cooper jockeying for top WR draft spot BY JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Amari Cooper’s one-on-one battle leading up to the NFL draft isn’t with an opposing cornerback. Cooper went through Alabama’s pro day on Wednesday hoping to put one more check mark in his favor in a race with West Virginia’s
Kevin White to be the first wide receiver chosen in the NFL draft. “When you do something, you want to be the best,” Cooper said. “I want to be the first receiver taken, but at the same time if I’m not it won’t affect the way I go in and play.” Whoever emerges at the front of the draft’s two top-
rated receivers could be picked at least as high as No. 4 by the Oakland Raiders. They dueled at the NFL combine, with White getting the edge in running the 40 (4.35 seconds to 4.42). Cooper ran routes for Crimson Tide quarterback Blake Sims at pro day, not the 40. He and safety Landon Collins are both projected as
first-round picks and both said their first team visit is with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have the No. 3 pick. They were among the Alabama players working out before representatives from every NFL team, including New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese and Jets GM Please see COOPER | 13
Unusual selection weekend looming for NCAA committee BY MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS — Kentucky has held the No. 1 spot all season. Apparently, the NCAA Tournament selection committee concurs. Chairman Scott Barnes acknowledged Wednesday that Kentucky heads into this weekend as the top overall seed, something that may not change regardless of the results in this week’s SEC tournament. “I think given the circumstances, as of today, that’s certainly a good read on the situation,” Barnes said when
asked directly if Kentucky was locked into the top spot. It’s a rare admission from a committee head. Usually, they try to shroud even the clearest-cut decisions by discussing a team’s full body of work or referring to the principles and procedures used to select teams for Sunday night’s release of the 68-team bracket. This year just isn’t the same. Kentucky (31-0) is trying to become the first team since the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers to complete a perfect season. Since then, three other unbeaten teams have made the
tourney field. None of those was able to win the title. Larry Bird’s Indiana State team came closest, losing to Michigan State in the 1979 title game to fall to 33-1. No other major conference team has fewer than two losses, making the Wildcats’ the clear favorite to get the top overall seed. “There’s going to continue to be jockeying for positions,” Barnes said. “In my five years, this is unique in that there seems to certainly be some separation there.” Sure, things could change if the Wildcats were to sustain a
significant injury, something committee members can take into account. But what makes this tourney field even more unusual is that it’s not just Kentucky separating itself at the top. Most analysts believe ACC champion Virginia, ACC runner-up Duke, Big Ten champ Wisconsin, Big East champ Villanova and Pac-12 champ Arizona have already earned a No. 1 or No. 2 seed, regardless of what happens between now and the end of the conference tourneys.

from the Fall Experimental Football League. And now Grigson has gambled on a powerful 31-year-old runner with a consistent NFL track record; added a 32-yearold pass-rusher to serve as a complement to 2013 sacks champion Robert Mathis; found a 29-yearold defensive end who can hold the edge; and re-signed Mike Adams, a 33-year-old safety who made his first Pro Bowl appearance. If Johnson joins the club, Indy also would have a 33-year-old receiver to replace Reggie Wayne. The Colts have announced they won’t re-sign the 36-year-old fan favorite. But the most surprising move Tuesday was the deal for Gore. Just two days earlier, the former 49er appeared headed to Philadelphia. When word leaked Monday night Gore might back out of a three-year deal with $7.5
million guaranteed, the Colts jumped into the conversation. About two hours after the signing period opened, the Colts announced they had agreed to terms with San Francisco’s career rushing leader for a deal that is believed to be almost the same. Gore is expected to take questions from local reporters Wednesday. “Wow Frank Gore leaving our division,” Rams defensive lineman Chris Long wrote on Twitter. “Always had a great deal of respect for his game. Brings it every carry. Doesn’t say much just plays.” Gore had eight 1,000yard seasons and made five Pro Bowl appearances with the 49ers, including 1,106 yards on 255 carries last season. Gore ran for 11,073 yards and 64 TDs in 10 seasons with the 49ers. He could be a shortterm answer to finding the perfect backfield tandem.
COOPER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12
Mike Maccagnan. Cooper’s college credentials include a runner-up finish in the Heisman Trophy balloting and breaking most of Julio Jones’ school receiving records. The big lingering receiver debate seems to be, Cooper vs. White for No. 1. “What are we talking about? We’re talking about a hair’s difference,” NFL Network analyst Charles Davis said. “At this point, I have Kevin White rated ahead of Amari Cooper. I stand by what I said. I’m not going to change that at this point. You continue to watch tape. You continue to do evaluations. “Amari Cooper makes a great case for being the first receiver taken.” He said Cooper can run with the ball, make tough catches across the middle and block on the perimeter. “What can’t he do?” Davis said. “Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He plays as fast as whatever his time is
in the 40. You name it, Amari Cooper has got it. “They’re both tremendous. I will not be shocked if at 4 the Raiders will choose Cooper over White. And they wouldn’t be wrong.” Whoever goes first, Cooper seems like a lock to become the first Alabama receiver chosen in the first round since the Atlanta Falcons picked Jones sixth overall in 2010. No Tide receiver has gone higher than the fourth round since then. The comparisons with Jones began when Cooper broke his predecessor’s freshman receiving mark. “They’re totally different guys,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. “Julio Jones is a fantastic, strong, big physical guy who’s been very productive in the NFL. Amari Cooper’s style is just a little bit different in terms of the quickness that he plays with, the running ability that he has. Great hands, smart player.

sas and West Coast tourney champ Gonzaga are also in the mix. After that, things could get messy and intense as the committee tries to distinguish between, say, ACC foes Louisville and Notre Dame, which look relatively even on paper. That is what Barnes believes the committee will spend the bulk of the next five days trying to sort out. “When you look at the seed lines, for instance, three to five, six to nine, I think we’re in for a lot of work,” he said. “I think there will be some challenges in coming to decisions on that group of teams.” The debate,
which formally began Wednesday afternoon in Indianapolis, isn’t going to be any clearer when it comes to the bottom half of the draw. Teams such as Indiana and Temple are still trying to play their way into the tourney, and with some conference tournaments wrapping up until Sunday afternoon, the committee could be forced to wait on some key decisions. Plus, regular-season conference champs who did not win their conference tourneys, such as Murray State of the Ohio Valley and Iona of the Metro Atlantic Athletic, also will be considered for the precious at-large bids.

Mayweather, Pacquiao begin countdown to big fight BY TIM DAHLBERG AP Boxing Writer
LOS ANGELES — Manny Pacquiao was out walking the red carpet by the time Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived, fashionably late for their first appearance together to promote a fight that really needs no promoting. But it didn’t take long Wednesday for Mayweather to put the fight into perspective in a way that only a fighter nicknamed “Money” can. “You get to this level where you’re making nine figures in 36 minutes,” Mayweather said, “and you have to be a winner.” Mayweather had the math right, though he declined to say just how much he will make in the May 2 fight that has stirred excitement far beyond the boxing community. He will get 60 percent of the purse in what is expected to be boxing’s richest fight ever, a haul that could exceed $120 million for Mayweather alone. Pacquiao won’t do badly,
either, in a fight that was five years in the making and will break records in another way — it will cost fans more than any other fight in history to watch both at the MGM Grand arena or in the comfort of their living rooms. At the only press conference the fighters will do prior to the week of the fight, promoters announced that tickets would range from $1,500 in the upper reaches of the MGM Garden to $7,500 at ringside. The pay-per-view price wasn’t announced, but is expected to be in the $90100 range. They want to see what Mayweather and Pacquiao say they are eager to show — the two biggest draws in boxing settling things between them once and for all in the ring. “We don’t want to leave a question mark in the minds of fans of boxing,” said Pacquiao, from the Philippines. “It’s also very important this fight is for the honor of my country.” If the interest in the
press conference at a downtown theater was any indication, the fight is already on its way to record business. More than 700 credentials were issued for the event, and both fighters walked a red carpet lined by photographers and video cameras that was worthy of the Academy Awards. Mayweather came late, though he could walk over from his condo next door. The pay-per-view king was businesslike and relatively subdued, with nothing bad to say about Pacquiao or anyone in his camp. “It’s always good to have the best fight the best,” Mayweather said. “That’s what’s so intriguing about this match up.” Mayweather said he was adamant about making the fight, pestering manager Al Haymon to get it done. But the biggest bout in recent history still may not have happened if not for a chance meeting between Mayweather and Pacquiao at a Miami Heat basketball game in Janu-
ary — a meeting that took place only because a big storm on the East Coast delayed Pacquiao’s flight. Mayweather went to Pacquiao’s hotel suite afterward and the two talked and decided the fight had to be made. “I didn’t say a lot of words because I didn’t want to say a mistake,” Pacquiao said. Mayweather said the fight reminded him of when he was young and Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard fought in a huge middleweight title match in 1987. Mayweather said he wondered then how there could ever be a fight as big as that one. Now he’s in a fight that will be bigger, if only because technology has advanced far enough to sell it to almost every home in the country. “It’s all about timing and I think we couldn’t choose a better time,” Mayweather said. “This is a fight the world can’t miss. This is an unbelievable matchup.”
