Two injured in shooting at home BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Corinth Police are investigating a shooting in which two men were shot Tuesday evening and another male assaulted. “We are still in the process of interviewing the victims and the suspect,” said Detective Capt. Ralph Dance. “Our investigators are trying to piece everything together and decide whether it was self defense or
said Dance. Apparently, Willis and Stover went over to the Forrest School Road address to confront Garth after he supposedly assaulted the woman, who is Stover’s sister-in-law, earlier that day. Dance said the suspect sustained facial injuries from the confrontation. “At some point he retrieved a handgun from his car and shot

tims were fleeing when they were shot,” said Dance. Garth remains in custody at the Alcorn County Jail. No charges had been filed against the Walnut man as of Wednesday. Officer Michael Suitor was the first to arrive on scene and took Garth into custody. Investigators Fred Serio and Dell Green are in charge of the investigation.

He was treated and released Tuesday night from Magnolia Regional Health Center. Stover was shot once in the abdomen area. He was listed in stable condition at MRHC as of Wednesday afternoon. “Witnesses stated both vic-

Confusion Reigns Photos of rescued horse create firestorm of concern BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Photos of what appeared to be a mistreated horse in a pasture off Box Chapel Road just inside the Corinth city limits went viral on Wednesday. The firestorm erupted after a passerby caught a glimpse of the horse lying on the ground. Photos showed the horse’s rib cage and hip bones. The skinand-bones images were shared by more than 100 Facebook users in the Crossroads area. Outraged citizens called local authorities and the CorinthAlcorn Animal Shelter to report the horse’s condition. “This is actually a case we have been working on for a while,” said Charlotte Doehner, volunteer director at the shelter. “The horse in question was rescued from much worse conditions. The current owner is trying to nurse the horses back to health.” Doehner said the horses have water and hay, however it is not visible from Box Chapel Road. “The pasture is more than 60 acres in size,” she added. The Corinth Police Department received calls throughout the day including a late afternoon call from the Humane Society of Mississippi. “If the animal is in danger, we will do everything possible to enforce the law,” said Police Chief David Lancaster. “We have been told the horse was recently rescued and the current owner is taking care of these

Jeremy K. Huguley was sentenced to serve 40 years in prison following his guilty plea to second degree murder on criminal information against him in the 2010 death of Stephen (Steve) Holley of Thrasher. Huguley’s sentencing hearing took place in Prentiss County Circuit Court Thursday, March 6, with Judge James Roberts presiding. In September 2012, in a separate case where sentencing was deferred, Huguley entered a guilty plea to bur-

New year opens with unemployment drop BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
Alcorn County opened the new year with an unemployment rate nearly three points below the rate from a year ago. The county’s unadjusted unemployment rate for January stood at 7.0 percent according to the latest figures released by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. Though the rate was up 0.5 percent from December due to the normal post-
holiday employment cycle the figure showed significant change from one year previous. In January 2013 the county’s rate was 9.9 percent, 2.9 percent higher than the rate for January 2014. Alcorn County had the lowest rate among immediately surrounding counties in Mississippi for January 2014. Prentiss County had the next Please see JOBLESS | 2

3 indicted in student death OXFORD — A Lafayette County grand jury has indicted three men on capital murder charges in the death of a University of Mississippi graduate student in December. WTVA-TV in Tupelo reports that circuit court documents show Steven Matthew Wilbanks of North Carolina, Derrick Boone of Laurel and Joseph Lyons of Houston, Texas were indicted by a grand jury in February. The three men are charged in the fatal shooting of Zach McClendon, who was found dead at an apartment in the College Hill community on Dec. 17. Authorities say the men then took McClendon’s car and three textbooks.

lowest at 8.5 percent, followed by Tishomingo at 8.7 percent and Tippah County at 9.5 percent. The county posted the 16th lowest unemployment rate in the state. Rankin County had the state’s lowest rate at 4.5 percent. Clay County had the highest rate in the state at 17.4 percent. The statewide unadjusted unemployment rate rose from 7.3 percent in December to 7.9 percent in January. The seasonally adjusted rate, taking into account normal seasonal fluctuates in unemployment, stood at 7.5 percent for January putting it at the lowest since November 2008. Governor Phil Bryant lauded economic development efforts in the state for bringing lower unemployment. “Our relentless commitment to economic development and our dedication to building a strong business climate in Mississippi are yielding results,” Bryant said in a statement released Wednesday. “I set a goal of seeing the unemployment rate in Mississippi fall to at least 7.5 percent, and preliminary figures show we have reached that benchmark. This success motivates us to continue working hard to connect even more Mississippians with jobs.”

HUGULEY CONTINUED FROM 2
on a capital murder charge stemming from Holley’s death almost four years ago. A Prentiss County circuit court jury convicted Burleson of capital murder in October 2012. Burleson was sentenced to life in prison without parole. The sentencing order states Huguley, 24, is not to be housed in the same facility with Burleson who was 27 at the time of Holley’s death. During the sentencing hearing, Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar said he had been asked by Steve Holley’s father, Donnie, to speak on his behalf. He shared how the elder Holley arrived home to find his son in the floor in a pool of blood with severe head wounds. His son was still alive and passed away five days later from blunt force trauma after being struck with a metal piece in a screen door, he said. Later the sheriff spoke of the repetitive defiance of rules and policies shown by Huguley since being jailed in May 2010 and how he bullied other inmates. “He is by no means a model prisoner,” Tolar said. “Justice will be best served if he is removed from society.” Tolar said he had personally tried to show compassion to Huguley by allowing his grandmother to bring his small children to visit him but Huguley’s actions were a slap in the face. “My greater concern is the safety and welfare of the people I serve,” Tolar said. Huguley has been in lockdown for more than 10 months, even obtaining some Dilaudid pills while in jail. Holley’s sister, Denise Holley Durbin, gave a victim impact statement during the hearing. “The memory of Steve’s last days will linger on in our hearts and minds ... as he lay in a hospital bed five

to six days gasping for every breath he took.” She said her father still has nightmares and struggles daily to cope. She said she often thinks of her brother being attacked and wondered if he knew what was happening to him. She said she also wondered if he was able to hear his family as they told him they loved him during his last days. “Our lives as a family have been changed forever,” Durbin said, noting Huguley’s choices affected not only the Holley family but Huguley’s own family. “Only the maximum sentence allowed by law will help us close this chapter,” said Holley’s sister. Testifying on behalf of Huguley was his 15-year-old sister and his grandmother, Ruth Shadburn of Hinkle, and a former counselor. Huguley and his sister were both adopted by their grandmother. Their parents were in and out of prison because of drugs. His grandmother sought counseling for him after he got on drugs, she said. She described him as a “good kid who was really smart in school.” He attended Booneville High School and is a graduate of Jumpertown High School where he received an ACT scholarship to attend NEMCC but he dropped out of college. “He’s young and got children. I know he needs to be punished ... but he needs to come out and have a life and talk to people and show them what problems drugs causes,” Shadburn said. Huguley himself talked about his drug addictions saying in college it was his downfall and noted he also had an addiction problem in high school. Huguley said he began smoking marijuana when he was 13 and later began taking pills. “You don’t realize it’s a problem until it’s too late,”
Huguley said. He said dilaudid was his drug of choice. Huguley spoke directly to the Holley family, calling them by name. “I’m sorry. I never meant for this to happen to Steve.” Huguley talked about how he had known Steve Holley since he was a child and they had gone fishing together. “I know my pain is miniscule next to yours. Steve did mean something to me, too. I’ve known him my whole life ... he was always good to me.” Huguley said he was not offering excuses and took responsibility for his role. “I just hope one day the pain will recede for you and your family. Steve was good to me ... we just got mixed up in a bad situation.” He said they were doing drugs together and “things happened that should not have happened. I apologize.” Huguley also apologized to Jeff Perrigo, the victim of the burglary and larceny of a dwelling, who came home during the crime, saying he considered him a friend and had he not been on drugs would have never stolen from him. In handing down Huguley’s sentence, Judge Roberts told Huguley, regardless of how he got here, “You are who you are. Another human being is dead. It’s only between you and the good Lord.” “I would hope today begins to bring some closure to the Holley family and you Mr. Huguley and your family. There is redemption and forgiveness and if that can be done, hopefully a measure of closure can occur and all of you can move on with your lives. And that’s what I hope will happen,” Judge Roberts said. In addition to the 40-year sentence for second degree murder, Huguley was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine, $100 to
the Mississippi Crime Victim Compensation Fund, $200 to the District Attorney’s office for investigative fees, $200 to the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department and $8,000 restitution to the Holley family. He is to enter a long term alcohol and drug rehab program while in prison. In addition to the 25-year sentence on the charge of burglary and larceny of a dwelling, Huguley was fined $1,000, ordered to pay $100 to the Mississippi Crime Victim Compensation Fund, $200 to the District Attorney’s office for investigative fees, $200 to the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department and restitution of $1,589.88 to the victim, Jeffery Perrigo. Huguley will be given credit for the time he has served in jail which is about four years. Prosecutors were District Attorney Trent Kelly and Assistant DA Josh Wise. Huguley was represented by attorneys Lori Basham and Greg Beard. After the hearing Huguley was immediately transported by the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department to Mississippi Department of Corrections facilities in Rankin County to begin serving his sentence. Had Huguley not entered a guilty plea to the reduced charge of second degree murder, his capital murder trial was scheduled to begin Monday, March 3 during a special setting in Prentiss County Circuit Court. District Attorney Trent Kelly said he hopes Huguley’s sentencing brings closure to the victim’s family. Kelly expressed thanks to Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar and his team. He credited them with being of great assistance in the case. Kayla Cartwright, who was indicted on a charge of accessory after the fact to capital murder, has not entered a plea.

Today in history Today is Thursday, March 13, the 72nd day of 2014. There are 293 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On March 13, 1964, bar manager Catherine “Kitty� Genovese, 28, was stabbed to death near her Queens, N.Y. home; the case generated controversy over the supposed reluctance of Genovese’s neighbors to respond to her cries for help. (Genovese’s killer, Winston Moseley, remains in prison.)
On this date: In 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a measure prohibiting Union military officers from returning fugitive slaves to their owners. In 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly approved a bill prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. (Gov. Austin Peay signed the measure on March 21.) In 1969, the Apollo 9 astronauts splashed down, ending a mission that included the successful testing of the Lunar Module. In 1980, Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II announced he was stepping down, the same day a jury found the company not guilty of reckless homicide in the fiery deaths of three young women in a Ford Pinto.

Across The Region 2 traffic stops lead to 3 drug arrests BOONEVILLE — Two traffic stops by Booneville Police resulted in the arrest of three Booneville men on felony narcotics charges. Timothy D. Bishop, 20, of 11 Starling Creek, Booneville, was charged with one count possession of methamphetamine following a traffic stop on Jacinto Road, said Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey. Arrested with him was
Raymond Entrekin Jr., 28, of 344 CR 3101, Booneville, who was also charged with possession of methamphetamine. Bond was set at $5,000 each. In a separate unrelated arrest, a traffic stop on College Street resulted in the arrest of Michael Keith Jackson, 43, of 4 Starling Creek, Booneville. He was charged with possession of amphetamine pills after 14 amphetamine pills were found, said Ramey. Bond was $5,000.
House approves marine resources restructuring The Associated Press
JACKSON — A plan to reorganize the scandalplagued Department of Marine Resources and require that it be audited every year is moving forward. House members passed an amended version of Senate Bill 2579 Tuesday, returning it to the Senate for more work. Rep. David Baria, DBay St. Louis, persuaded House members to amend the bill, taking out a provision that would have removed Marine Resources employees from civil service protection for one year. Baria argued current managers shouldn’t be trusted with that authority, considering past mismanagement. Former DMR Executive Director Bill Walker pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court to a charge of conspiring to defraud
the federal government. Two other former Marine Resources employees are under indictment. “If there ever was an agency that needed to be held accountable, it is the DMR, considering what has gone on down there, and I don’t believe it’s appropriate to remove them from the protections of the state Personnel Board.� Supporters, including Rep. Jeffrey Guice, R-Ocean Springs, said they’re confident in current leaders and say they should be allowed to freely reassign or fire employees. “It’s just dragging out the inevitable,� Guice said of maintaining civil service protections. “I don’t believe the purpose of getting out from under the personnel board is about firing people. It’s about reassigning people.�

At Gooseberry, manager Nancy Essary said the program is very rewarding. “My other employees and myself really get something out of hosting an individual,� Essary said. “We learn from the individual and they learn from us. I recommend all businesses give this program a try.� Essary has hosted an
individual one day a week since September 2013. “The individuals we have worked with are very kind and really hard workers,� added Essary. “I think they become better people by being placed in a business environment.� Taylor says she or a member of her staff stay with individuals who are placed at a business. “We stay with the individuals at the business in case something happens, but we stay out of sight so the individual can start to trust and befriend the business staff in their own time,� Taylor said. “We have had some individuals who have worked through the program with us, then was asked to stay on as a actual em-
ployee at the business they had been working in. Those individuals often branch away from their family to live on their own.� NMRC offers further independence including community-based traditional group homes and supported living apartments. Options such as early intervention for children from birth to three years of age, assistance technology to aid in communication, day services-adult programs, work activity/prevocational centers, supported employment and Home and Community Based Waiver services are also offered.

Corinth, Miss.
Dumbing down the SAT It turns out that SAT words were too abstruse. The College Board is updating its iconic test yet again in ways that are indistinguishable from dumbing it down. The old vocabulary words are Rich out, the math is easier, guessLowry ing is no longer punished in the scoring -- and we’re supNational posed to believe that the test Review is better than ever. The SAT, relied on heavily in college admissions, has long been attacked for not producing sufficiently egalitarian results. The multiple-choice test has been accused of everything from racism to classism. It is almost certainly the most hated exam in America, and the easiest way to placate the critics is simply to make it less exacting. The last round of changes 10 years ago eliminated the analogies (e.g., zenith: nadir::pinnacle: valley) and instituted an essay. This was supposed to be an upgrade, but the mandatory essay is now being discarded. Peter Wood of the National Association of Scholars describes it as “a decade-long experiment in awarding points for sloppy writing graded by mindless formulae.” The new SAT will move away from what a reporter in The New York Times calls -- obviously relying on his readers’ knowledge of old SAT vocabulary -- “esoteric” words. Instead, the test will emphasize “evidence-based reading.” The head of the College Board says an example would be an excerpt from an old speech by Rep. Barbara Jordan in which she said that the impeachment of Richard Nixon would divide people into two parties. Students taking the test would then have several choices for what Jordan meant by the word “party.” (Students answering a gathering to celebrate an occasion, or to drink with friends, will presumably get no credit.) The SAT is called an instrument of privilege because students from higher-income families perform better. But parental educational attainment tracks with parental income, and highly educated parents will inevitably pass along their advantages to their kids. It is not in the power of the SAT to change this. As Robert VerBruggen of the website RealClearPolicy writes, “Income gaps are evident on basically every academic measure we have.” The changes and a partnership with the free online Khan Academy are supposed to frustrate the test-prep industry, which is taken to be another unfair advantage for rich kids. There are two fallacies here, though. The first is that test-prep makes an enormous difference in scores. It bumps them up by about 30 points on average. The second is that minority kids get no test prep. According to research cited by Inside Higher Ed, slightly higher percentages of black and Hispanic students than white students use test prep, and they make slightly higher gains on their scores on average. The SAT is hardly perfect. It isn’t strictly an aptitude test: The more you read and the more math you know, the better you are going to do. Maybe we should go all the way and use achievement tests instead? But that has its own problems, as Howard Wainer of the University of Pennsylvania pointed out in his book “Uneducated Guesses.” How much does proficiency in one subject area weigh against another? And this doesn’t help if a student is in a rotten school that teaches nothing. The SAT aims to predict first-year performance in college, with only modest success. The test explains about 24 percent of the variation in performance during the first year of college, while high-school GPA explains 34 percent, according to Anthony Carnevale of Georgetown University. But when the two are combined, they account for 41 percent of the variation. With its broader, more general approach, the SAT provides different information about students than either GPA or achievement tests. It is a useful tool. At the end of the day, the problem isn’t the SAT, it’s ourselves. We have to do a better job raising and educating kids. That is much harder than complaining about the SAT, and the College Board can’t do them for us. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com)

Hillary sick — probably of the media It was back on Jan. 27, 1998, when Hillary Clinton first used the phrase “vast right-wing conspiracy” to describe the attacks on her husband. She was appearing with Matt Lauer on NBC’s “Today,” the day after Bill Clinton had publicly stated: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” For Hillary, the Monica Lewinsky story was the last straw in what she firmly believed was a conservative conspiracy to get her husband. And Hillary stuck to that belief even after she learned the truth about Bill and Monica. After all, one or both of the Clintons had been accused of all sorts of ugly things over the preceding years: Whitewater, being involved in the death of Vince Foster, controversial cattle futures trading, international drug smuggling through Mena, Ark., etc. If you are not familiar with the lurid particulars of the past claims against the Clintons, just wait. As 2016 draws closer, the right wing will provide a refresher course for you. In fact, it is starting already. In case you haven’t heard, Hillary Clinton may have a secret terrible illness that will prevent her from running for president in 2016. Rush Limbaugh,
The Daily Caller, Matt D r u d g e and Roger Stone, often described as a “self-adRoger mitted GOP Simon hit man,” have spread Columnist the rumor. On Feb. 24 of this year, Stone, who now says he is a libertarian, tweeted: “@HillaryClinton not running for health reasons. Remember you heard it first from the #StoneZone.” Four days later, Limbaugh began a broadcast this way: “Whispers are persisting, whispers -- there’s a whisper campaign, folks -- that Mrs. Clinton is sick, that she will not run for the presidency because she is sick.” Limbaugh went on to speculate that it was Democrats and not Republicans who were behind the “rumor campaign” because Republicans lack the guts for it. “Do the Republicans have the gonads to do something like this?” Limbaugh asked. “Do the Republicans have the gonads to start a rumor that Mrs. Clinton is ill? It’s Drudge’s lead story there with a picture of Hillary looking like she’s in great stress and distress. The headline is: ‘Is She Sick?’
That’s all it takes, and people start wondering, ‘What kind of sick?’” Limbaugh concluded: “If this indeed is established as a rumor campaign, my prediction is that a Democrat is behind it. There will be a lot of Republicans trying to take credit for it if it’s a rumor campaign that ends up being successful in terms of damaging her chances to win the presidency.” The same day, The Daily Caller ran a piece under this headline: “Whispers persist that Hillary won’t run: Health may be worse than disclosed.” The piece stated: “These ubiquitous rumors of her health have been fueled in part by the supermarket tabloids. The National Enquirer wrote in 2012 that Clinton had brain cancer, something a spokesman dismissed then as ‘absolute nonsense.’ In January of this year, the Globe claimed that Clinton secretly had a brain tumor.” Why write a piece “fueled” by supermarket tabloids? Why not? In modern American journalism, if you haven’t gone too far, you haven’t gone far enough. If you don’t post the story and get the clicks, someone else will. To step back from crossing the line is to admit that such a line exists. At the end of 2012, Clinton did get the flu, faint, hit
her head and get taken to the hospital. Her doctors released a statement saying that she had a clot “in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear.” “It did not result in a stroke, or neurological damage,” her medical team said. She was given blood thinners and was “making excellent progress.” Her doctors continued, “We are confident she will make a full recovery.” Ironically, some conservatives said at the time she was not sick at all but faking it to avoid testifying before Congress about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya. That particular accusation may have to be scrubbed to fit in with the current accusation, that she is gravely ill. All indications are that she is just fine, however. She is currently engaged in a vigorous national speaking tour, making, some say, up to $250,000 per speech. To me, raking in that kind of dough is a sign of keen mental health. If Hillary is flying around the country and knocking down a quarter-mil a speech while being ill, I’ll have what she’s having.

Stormtroopers, a Wookiee and CPAC OXON HILL, Md. — The first “people” I recognized on arriving at last week’s Conservative Political Action Committee gathering just outside Washington were two “stormtroopers” and a Wookiee from the 1977 film “Star Wars.” Some of the speeches also expressed sentiments from the past, though not as cleverly as those in costume: Obama is a bad president, even a bad man. America looks weak before the world. Government is too big and taxes too high. “The Force” seemed to have left the building, or perhaps it never arrived. Perhaps the most interesting speaker was the outgoing governor of Texas, Rick Perry, who has experienced a minor makeover. Those dark-rimmed glasses he now wears give him a more serious appearance. Perry also seems to have taken a crash course in public speaking because he revealed a passion that was lacking in his brief 2012 presidential campaign. Perry did something else that even The Washington Post took note of, though not as many delegates did.

He appeared on a panel to discuss prison reform. “Tough on crime” has long been a Cal conservative Thomas red meat issue and Columnist Perry wanted people to know that being tough on crime could also mean “smart on crime.” He’s talking alternatives to incarceration for nonviolent offenders and rehabilitation, more than punishment. In a state that ranks first in executions, Perry has become an advocate for reforming the criminal justice system. That’s a position that won’t get him many standing ovations, but it is a positive alternative to the negative image projected by too many conservatives. A bigger issue waiting to be seized by Republicans is education reform. In New York, a battle has erupted between Governor Andrew Cuomo, a sudden proponent of at least partial school choice when it comes to charter schools, and New York City Mayor Bill de
Blasio, who has pledged to close charter schools and return mostly poor and minority children who are succeeding in them to failing public schools. In an opinion essay for The Daily Messenger newspaper, Cuomo sounded like a Republican: “...education is not about the districts and not about the pensions and not about the unions and not about the lobbyists and not about the PR firms -- education is about the students, and the students come first.” He added: “We know that too many public schools are failing. Over 200 failing schools -- 6 percent grade level for reading, 5 percent grade level for math. We need new ideas. ... The education industry has said the same thing for decades: more money, and more money, and more money, and it will change. We spend more money per pupil than any state in the nation; we’re number 32 in results. It’s not just about putting more money in the public school system, it’s trying something new and that’s what charter schools are all about.”

Rescuing children has always been a political issue for Democrats, but they aren’t being rescued. Too many are drowning in failed, monopolistic government schools. Conservatives and Republicans should be riding to their rescue, saying something like this: “It is a form of child abuse to deny any child a decent education. Education is a child’s ticket to the future, but too many liberal Democrats have stamped those tickets ‘invalid’ by forcing them to remain in schools where their chances of succeeding are greatly diminished.” If conservatives really want to attract more minority voters they will help their kids. It’s positive, it’s optimistic, and it will work. During the 1960 presidential campaign, John F. Kennedy repeatedly said: “We can do better.” So can conservatives. So can Republicans. So can America. Even a Wookiee might agree. (Cal Thomas is the host of “After Hours with Cal Thomas” on the FOX News Channel. Readers may email him at tmseditors@ tribune.com.)

2 NYC buildings collapse, kill 2 NEW YORK — A resident of a New York City apartment building that was flattened by an explosion says the smell of gas was “unbearable� and residents complained about it repeatedly. Ruben Borrero says residents complained to the landlord about the smell as recently as Tuesday, a day before the explosion. He says a few weeks ago, city fire officials were called about the smell because it was so bad that a resident on the top floor busted open the door to the roof for ventilation. The explosion leveled two buildings, killed at least two people and injured more than 20. More than a dozen are still unaccounted for. Borrero lived on the second floor with his mother and sister. None of them were at home at the time of the explosion, but he assumes his terrier is dead.
Police: Attackers were in wrong home MADISON, Wis. — A home invasion in which a man was severely beaten and his pregnant wife was repeatedly sexually assaulted may have been meant for a neighboring house, authorities in Wisconsin said. Three men face sexual assault and armed robbery charges after police said they broke into a Madison home looking for money, found the couple lying
in bed and assaulted the woman, who was six months pregnant, after beating her husband. A criminal complaint filed Tuesday details a botched robbery plan that may have been intended to target the victims’ neighbor. Authorities said a woman told the assailants they’d find at least $1,500 in cash in the home of the man she was seeing, but that the men broke into the wrong home. Michon A. Thomas, Eric D. Bass and Kristopher J. Hughes all face robbery and sexual assault charges in the in the Feb. 23 home invasion on Madison’s east side. Three others accused of helping plan and carry out the attack also have been charged.
After thaw, heavy snow returns to US CHICAGO — A heavy wet snow on Wednesday brought a cruel end to a fleeting spring-like thaw, forcing residents around the winter-weary Midwest and Northeast to once again fire up snow blowers, hoist shovels and slog through a sloppy and treacherous commute. Tens of thousands of homes and businesses in northern Illinois and Indiana lost power, and a few hundred flights were canceled at Chicago’s airports. The city, where streets and sidewalks had only just dried out for the first time in months, got about 6 inches of snow. Heavy winds whipped it into a blinding wall that even blotted out the lit-up skyline for a few

People from Chicago to Buffalo, NY, were left wondering whether the start of spring was really just a week away. “I think spring is buried under all the snow and I’m just ready for it to go,� said Kelly Smith, huddling with her husband under an awning in downtown South Bend, Ind., waiting for a ride. “I came out this morning with no coat on and it’s snowing again.

Obama to push for more overtime pay WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will direct the Labor Department to strengthen overtime pay protections for millions of workers, a White House official said. The directive is meant to help salaried workers, such as fast-food shift supervisors or convenience store managers, who may be expected to work more than 40 hours a week without receiving overtime pay. The proposed change is part of Obama’s effort to focus on closing the gap between the wealthy and the poor, which also includes a call to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10. The proposal is likely to be met with opposition from some Republicans and members of the business community who say the private sector should have flexibility in setting wages.

Senate seeks funds for school formula JACKSON — Senators are supporting an additional $60 million for Mississippi’s education funding formula. The Senate voted 2624 Wednesday to adopt an amendment to House Bill 1476 — the state K-12 budget — taking money from Medicaid and moving it to the Mississippi Adequate Education Program. Eight Republicans crossed party lines to vote with all but one Democrat for the measure. The effort by Amory Democrat Hob Bryan is symbolic because negotiators will finalize budgets later. The state must pay all Medicaid costs under rules of the health program, no matter how much it budgets. Bryan says Mississippi should obey a law requiring full funding of MAEP.

9 plead guilty in Natchez prison riot
JACKSON — A federal judge says attorneys for a Mexican woman can go ahead with a lawsuit against Mississippi’s welfare agency and others she accused of attempting to wrest away a newborn girl she delivered while in the United States illegally. U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate this week denied the immunity claims of two employees of Singing River Hospital in Pascagoula and a Mississippi Department of Human Services caseworker. The Southern Poverty Law Center filed the lawsuit in 2010 on behalf of Cirila Baltazar Cruz. The lawsuit, which names MDHS, Singing River Health System and others, seeks monetary damages and alleges the state officials conspired to deny Cruz and her child their constitutional
NATCHEZ — Nine inmates have pleaded guilty in federal court in Natchez to participating in a deadly prison riot in Mississippi in 2012. One guard was killed and 20 people were injured in the May 20, 2012, riot at the privately run Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, which holds immigrants convicted of crimes while being in the U.S. illegally. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says the pleas were entered Tuesday. Each defendant faces a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and supervised release term of three years. The defendants will be sentenced on May 29 and June 12. Correction officer Catlin Carithers was killed and 20 people were injured as the riot grew to involve hundreds of inmates.
JACKSON — Mississippi will keep spending money to implement the Common Core state standards for public schools, if senators have their way. The Senate Wednesday rejected an attempt to bar the state from spending money on the academic standards by a 39-11 vote. The charge against the standards was led by Republican Sens. Angela Hill of Picayune and Michael Watson of Pascagoula, who say the standards are a federal takeover of state schools and will be harmful to

JACKSON — The House will seek to negotiate its differences with the Senate on their pay raise proposals for Mississippi public school teachers. The move comes after the House Wednesday rejected a Democratic attempt to agree to the Senate’s pay raise proposal by a 71-50 vote. Democrats argued the House should accept the Senate plan because there’s a chance the bill would fail if the House sought talks. “This legislation is in jeopardy,” said House Minority Leader Bobby Moak, DBogue Chitto. “I think the percentage game is to take the money that’s on the table today. Don’t risk it.” But Republicans said the House should enter into negotiations in hopes of getting four years of across-theboard raises, a change from the previous plan. “We don’t need to cut and run when we’re on the high ground,” said House Appropriations Chairman Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville. Senators unanimously passed a plan that would give teachers an additional $1,500 this July 1 and another $1,000 a year later. Under the Senate plan’s third year, teachers in schools that maintain an A
or B from one year to the next would be eligible for merit pay, as would teachers in schools that move up a letter grade from year to year. Each school maintaining an A or moving up a letter grade would receive $100 per student, and each maintaining a B would receive $75 per student. House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, said that the plan’s third year is unconstitutional because it gives bonus payments not covered by contract to public employees for work they’ve already done. Rep. Cecil Brown, D-Jackson, said any constitutional problem would be in the third year of the bill and lawmakers could fix it before then. “The Legislature meets every year,” he said. House Education Committee Chairman John Moore, D-Brandon, said the Senate plan was also flawed because it spends less money on raises than the House and would encourage good teachers to stay away from bad schools. Laura Hipp, a spokeswoman for Lt. Gov Tate Reeves, noted a 2010 attorney’s general opinion that says at least some kinds of employee incentive payments are legal. Many House members voted for a pilot merit pay plan promoted by Gov. Phil Bryant last year.
“I had hoped this week Gov. (Phil) Bryant could sign a significant teacher pay increase that included merit pay and was within our budget, but the House let political posturing win over increased teacher pay,” he said in a statement. The House plan would provide $4,250 over four years. Teachers would receive $1,500 spread over the first two years. If state revenue continues to grow at least 3 percent a year, they would get a projected raise of $2,750 over the third and fourth years of the plan. Originally, the House said teachers with more than five years’ experience would have to meet three of 22 criteria to get the raises, ranging from earning certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to joining a civic club. But Wednesday, Gunn said the House was abandoning the so-called “benchmark” plan and seeking four years of across-the-board raises. Mississippi lawmakers last increased teachers’ base pay during the 2007 electionyear session, although teachers since have received builtin “step” increases based on their experience and academic degrees. Mississippi had the second-lowest average teacher pay in the nation in 2013 at $41,994.
Bowling asks for review of sentence Associated Press
OXFORD — A former Mississippi and Alabama prep football coach has asked a federal court for a hearing on his motion to set aside or reconsider his sentence to multiple guilty pleas that he transported minor males across state lines for sex. Dwight Bowling argues in court documents filed this past week in U.S. District Court in Oxford that briefs have been filed by his attorney and the government and now is the time for oral arguments on his motion. Prosecutors said a hearing isn’t necessary because Bowling hasn’t proved his 300-month prison sentence is excessive. Bowling pleaded guilty in 2011 to numerous state and federal charges related to sex acts with boys. He was sentenced in federal court to 25 years. In state court, he was sentenced to 35 years. He also pleaded guilty to attempting to tamper with a
potential witness’s testimony. Bowling coached for 28 years at Smithville before retiring and coaching at Sulligent High in Sulligent, Ala. The molestations alleged in his indictment are said to have happened between 2004 and 2010. Bowling was coaching for the Alabama school when he was arrested Sept. 18, 2010 in Mississippi on his way home from a game. Authorities said a 13-year-old boy who was with Bowling at the time of his arrest accused him of improper touching. The investigation uncovered at least four victims, boys between the ages of 13 and 18. Bowling had a previous appeal dismissed from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2012. He filed a motion to vacate his sentence last September in the Oxford court claiming his attorney didn’t file an appeal in time and was there-
fore ineffective. Bowling argued his attorney, Christi McCoy, didn’t file his sentencing appeal within the given time frame and was therefore ineffective counsel. But, in an email exchange included in the motion, he essentially fired McCoy, told her he doesn’t plan to pay his final bill and told her he is asking for another attorney. He also told her he didn’t want to spend another penny fighting the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul D. Roberts, in his response to the motion, said Bowling’s explicit instructions to his counsel not to file an appeal preclude any complaint that his attorney violated his rights when she followed his instructions. Roberts said Bowling must be able to show he requested an appeal and did not prevent his counsel from filing the notice of appeal to prove ineffective assistance of counsel.

White House promotes women’s economic issues BY NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Add pay equity to President Barack Obama’s 2014 doit-himself wish list. The White House is launching a campaign to promote a host of economic issues facing women, a key voting bloc in this year’s midterm election. Obama is hosting at least 10 Democratic female lawmakers at the White House Wednesday as his Council of Economic Advisers issues a report decrying a gender wage gap. The report highlights that full-time working women continue to earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men in the workforce, despite surpassing men in obtaining college degrees and making inroads into traditionally male-dominated occupations. The White House said the economic issues facing women and families
will be addressed at a Working Families Summit the president will headline on June 23 at Washington’s Omni Shoreham hotel, co-hosted by the administration and the liberal Center for American Progress think tank. The summit was announced as part of Obama’s State of the Union address in January, when he declared “when women succeed, America succeeds.” The White House says ballots cast this fall by single women in particular will help determine which party performs best in the election. They argue the president’s focus on raising the minimum wage, which faces opposition in Congress, is particularly important for those voters, especially those trying to support a family. “That will help so many women participate as they’re increasingly breadwinners in families,” Obama senior ad-
“That will help so many women participate as they’re increasingly breadwinners in families. In the 21st century, why aren’t women earning equal pay? So how can we close that pay gap?” Valerie Jarrett Obama senior adviser viser Valerie Jarrett said in an interview on “CBS This Morning.” ‘‘In the 21st century, why aren’t women earning equal pay? So how can we close that pay gap?” Republicans point out that the White House has its own pay gap — an analysis of staff salaries done last fall by the conservative American Enterprise Institute found the president’s female aides were that paid 88 cents for every dollar paid to men, about $65,000 to $73,729 annually. The White House responds
that men and women in equivalent roles at the White House earn the same amount and that a majority of department heads are women. However, the 77-cent gender gap that Obama is criticizing is calculated workforce-wide, and does not represent a comparison of equivalent positions. The report by the White House Council on Economic Advisers says Obama’s proposal to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10 would shrink the gender wage gap by nearly 5
percent, since women are more likely to earn minimum wage. The report says women account for a rising share of family income, with married women’s earnings on average nearly 45 percent of total family earnings in 2013. The report says although women have increasingly entered traditionally male-dominated fields like medicine, law, management and science, even those women with advanced degrees begin to fall behind their male colleagues in earnings by their late 30s. And women are still concentrated in low-wage sectors of the workforce like health care support and personal care, the report says. Jarrett said workplaces need to be restructured to attract and retain women, including working mothers and those caring for aging parents. She said the White House is looking at how to support employers that provide
flexibility for workers, especially those with children. “What do we do to restructure our work environment so that we can be competitive, so that businesses can attract and retain talent, so that women don’t just participate for a short period of time and peel off? We want them fully engaged. We are not going to be able to be globally competitive if half of our population is on the sidelines,” she said. The White House says this summit’s summit will address workplace flexibility, along with paid leave, equal pay, family and medical leave, sick days, workplace discrimination, career advancement, worker retention and promotion, opportunities for low-wage workers, elder care, childcare and early childhood education. Companies with family-friendly policies will be highlighted as an example.

Bringing the Gospel to everyone gives him a way to give the Word of God to all people. We see many of his miracles that took place while on earth such as walking on the water and healing the sick. He sees the sin and sadness taking place on earth, and knows it must change. His words and the disciples help to
bring his message to all. Jesus stood up for the poor, the sick, and the misfortunate. His message should be followed by all. It seems that some people decide to judge and tell people their problems are their fault. Obviously, not everyone is to blame for their misfortune. We do have some who try to take advantage of the government, but there are many people who just do not have the opportunity, because of their background, lack of money, and education. This was demonstrated in the movie, and it still goes on in today’s world. I am sure some try to take advantage of the government and other people. That is wrong and it should be stopped, and the individuals who need assistance should be helped in some way. The High Priest Caiaphas (Adrian Ichller) who
did not like Jesus begins to plot a way to destroy him. Caiaphas wanted Governor Pilate to have Jesus executed. Eventually, they got their wish, and Jesus was crucified. I still remember what the preacher in the church I attended as a child said in one of his sermons. Brother Corbit the pastor said in a sermon many moons ago, “He did not believe the soldiers eased the cross into the ground. He believed they dropped it into the ground which caused horrible pain. This made the pain that much worse. Crucifixion is a horrible way to die. Jesus was whipped, beaten, and insulted. The surroundings that took place for Jesus being crucified is horribly sad, violent, and heart wrenching. One lady behind me cried many times during the film. The lady along with all in the theater
knew the pain and hardship that Jesus suffered for all of us. “Son of God” will take the audience on a journey with Jesus from his birth, to his crucifixion, and when he was raised from the dead and Mary found the tomb open. All of the disciples met a horrible death for spreading the gospel. They were martyrs except Apostle John. He was exiled to the Island of Patmos. He lived on the isolated island until he died. The film is 138 minutes long, but it did keep the attention of everyone in the audience, so the length of the film did not matter. It was something we should all watch and never forget. I recommend this film about Jesus, his disciples, his life, his message, and I am going to quote a portion of a song from an old television program, but this quote will refer to Je-
sus of Nazareth, “Long live his story and long live his glory, and long may his story be told.” As Mark 16-14 says, “Go into all the entire world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” I watched this film twice during the weekend. The second time the audience applauded when it was over. It is an excellent film about the life of Jesus. I recommend everyone to go see this film.

Wishing we could hit the jackpot As usual, we had a ball playing “Dirty Santa” last Christmas. In our family, everybody brings two gifts, one that’s just awful and elicits loud groans when it’s unwrapped; another which (you hope) is so neat that folks fight over the silly thing, stealing it back and forth to cries of indignant outrage. (Not that anyone is too broken-hearted, since no one’s supposed to spend more than five bucks per gift.) To my mind, the cleverest was a $4.00 lottery ticket that my brother had picked up at a Quik Stop, the winner to be drawn that very night. Our sister Bay picked it out of the pile of presents, and I stole it as soon as my turn came around. How much was the prize? $2,000,000. Wow! Wouldn’t it be fun to win TWO MIILLION DOLLARS?! Hmmm....On second thought, I decided I’d feel crummy raking in all that money all by myself. So I announced that if I won, I’d keep a million and let each of the families there divvy up the other million. Someone immediately pointed out that half would go to taxes. That’s all right, I said. I’ll be happy with $500,000. You guys can have a hundred thou apiece. (I began to daydream. Okay, first things first. A nice chunk for our grandchildren’s college funds. A nice chunk to my church. Buy John a nice, new tractor. He wouldn’t mind a
new truck, too....Then it’s Ryland’s turn. Let’s see....I think I’d do some Ryland traveling. Spend the Bruhwiler winter in Columnist New Zealand. Take a watercolor class in, say, San Francisco. Or Paris! Join a walking tour in Wales. A garden tour of England’s palaces and cottages....) Unfortunately, my brother--who’d dashed off to check the winning number on his laptop-returned with the sad news that, no, I hadn’t won. Had not even come close. Well, darn. I can’t say I’d really expected to. But for a moment there,.... To tell the truth, I’ve never bought a lottery ticket in my life, though one afternoon about a year ago, I might ought to have. I’d driven into Memphis, running errands fast and hard. Stopped by one store and paid something like $41.86 for my purchases. Drove to the next, gathered several items, plunked them down on the counter. The cashier rang them up and announced, “That’ll be $41.86.” “$41.86?” I said. “Yes, ma’am,” she replied. “That’s exactly what I paid at Walgreens a few minutes ago.” The other cashier turned around to give me a good look. “Go buy
a lottery ticket,” she said. “Right now.” I was tempted to. Not sure what principle I’d have been acting on. Perhaps she thought my lucky stars had all lined up. Or believed that good (and bad) things come in threes. Like lemons turning up on slot machines. Why not? I thought. But forgot all about it before I left their parking lot. I guess my mind’s not set that way. Look at it like this: How many folks spend four bucks week after week--or ten or twenty dollars--hoping for that grand slam? For that big pie in the sky (so to speak) to land at their front door? I, on the other hand, multiply four bucks times 52 weeks and imagine how many ways I can spend $208 at the end of the year. Or tuck that money away, and in just a few years, have a nice down payment on that trip to Europe. Still, there’s another
way to spin this thing. Last time I had my hair cut, we got to talking lotteries. Linda, my stylist, doesn’t mind one bit spending her hard earned two bits on a ticket now and then. That money’s going toward Tennessee education, and somebody’s going to win it. It just might be her. She, too, has plans. First, she said, she’d take care of her relatives who need help. Then, she said, she’d invest the bulk of it in some kind of manufacturing. Right here in our county. Maybe something to do with milk production. She’s not sure exactly. She’d think hard about it. Might hold a contest, let folks volunteer ideas. But something that’d open up jobs in our area. Let anybody who wants to work have a place to work and make a decent living. I said, Amen to that. And felt abashed. Here I’d been planning to take my cash and run. Linda

Sliding Into Home By Mike Swims
I remember my mother signed me up for little league baseball when I was eight. Before this, I had never played baseball before in my life— not even in the streets with my friends. So to be honest, I knew almost nothing about how the sport was played. However, I think there are two rules about baseball that every little boy in America knows by instinct: 1. Hit the ball with the bat as hard as you can, and; 2. Always slide into home base, because it looks cool! It’s as if it’s in our DNA. I remember psyching myself up for my first day of practice. Because the first thing I could think about was re-enacting the images from those old Ty Cobb baseball cards where he’s sliding into home with his cleats pointed straight at the catcher. I was going to be the next Ty Cobb. Well, that was the plan anyway. Instead of sliding into home, I got scared and tried to run around the catcher, which led to the me being chased by the catcher around the pitcher’s mound like two squirrel’s chasing each other for an acorn before the umpire called me out. I chickened out of my slide into home. Seeing him stand in the way, I got worried I’d get scraped up, scratched up or possibly hurt another player. Now as a minister, when I think about that day, I can’t help but think about my relationship with God. I started my Christian walk out knowing next to nothing about Him. And just like I had a drive to impress my coaches with my ability to slide, I had an even bigger desire to impress my Heavenly Father by my desire to give him 100%. I knew enough to know that we can’t be lukewarm (Rev. 3:16). On a much larger scale, the world is filled with people who are content to live their whole lives just walking around the bases, not caring if they get tagged out or not. They’ll continue to stroll aimlessly around the bases of life, without purpose or satisfaction, despite what God wants or expects of them. They won’t show up to practice with the team, because they’re the takers in life, and not the givers. And worst of all, they won’t trust God enough to let Him guide them (Luke 9:23). I don’t know about you, but I don’t plan on strolling slowly up to the Pearly Gates to stand before God with my hands in my pockets looking tanned, rested, and untested. I plan on “sliding into home” with all my scrapes, scratches, and bruises that represent the painful parts, but are still a part of this amazing gift called life. After all, just because we’re Christians doesn’t mean difficulties stop for us (1 Pet. 4:12). I want to be able to tell God He did a fantastic job creating this thing called “life,” and would want to thank Him for sending us Jesus so we could “have life and have it more abundantly!” (John 10:10) How will you approach your Master? Scraped up, full of scratches, and lots of dirt on your face—yet with a huge grin shining through? Or tanned, rested, and too scared to be tested?

Overvalued? The bull market entered its sixth year this week and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index is up 176 percent since March 9, 2009. A run like that means it’s only natural to ask if stocks are fairly priced. One wa ay to make that assessment is a stock’s price-earnings ratio. P/Es are calculated byy dividing the price of each share by annual earnings per share. Low P/E ratios signal that a stock is cheap relative to a company’s earnings; a high ratio signalss it is expensive. The forward P/E ratio of the S&P 500, which is based on projected earnings fo or the next 12 months, is 15.4. Although that’s higher than the index’s 5- and 10-yea ar averages, it’s below its 15-year average P/E of 16.0. So although the stock market ket isn’t necessarily cheap, it’s not historically expensive. 30
Eye of the beholder The forward P/E of the S&P 500 is well above its 5- and 10-year averages, but below its 15-year average. 25

Teen retail angst
Sizing up retail sales
Wall Street predicts Aeropostale’s loss in its fourth fiscal quarter widened from a year earlier. The teen retailer, which is due to deliver its quarterly results today, has been hurt because young shoppers are becoming more cautious with their spending. Aeropostale has had to aggressively discount merchandise in a bid to revive declining sales. The company’s stock price has taken a beating, and Aeropostale has taken steps to ward off a potential hostile takeover.
Investors will be watching the latest retail sales report to help gauge consumer spending. The Commerce Department reports retail sales figures for February today. Retail sales fell more than expected in January, the second decline in a row. Analysts blamed winter weather for keeping many would-be shoppers at home. Did retail sales thaw last month?

Job, debt pile on stress for senior WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: I am 60 years old and feel that I have accomplished next to nothing. The only worthwhile things are my husband, two children and a lovely granddaughter. They are the lights of my life. I was let go from a previous job for something I didn’t do. My current job is awful, and it stresses me out every day. But I have no computer training, so a job change is not in the cards. Besides, businesses don’t want to hire an “old” person like me. Because my job pays next to nothing, I began charging things on credit. What was I supposed to do? I’m now in deep credit-card debt and am desperate to find the funds to pay it off. I’m a hard worker, but feel like a useless failure. Don’t tell me to see a counselor, because there is no money to pay for it. If my car dies on me, I’ll be walking six miles to work. At this time in my socalled life, I thought I’d be better off than I am. Please tell me what I can do. -- End of the Line Dear End: The quality of your life should not be based solely on your financial situation. Can your husband help you pay off this debt? Surely he would want to be supportive. Also try
Annie’s Mailbox Debtors Anonymous (debtorsanonymous. org). For a job, contact your local city hall or state government offices for help. Then try AARP (aarp.org), which offers information and resources for senior-friendly companies. But also, please don’t disregard your depression. There is free and low-cost counseling available through your local county services, the YWCA, any graduate school counseling department or medical school psychology department, United Way, the Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org) and the Abraham Low Self-Help Systems (lowselfhelpsystems. org). Dear Annie: I’ve considered writing every time I read about someone who thinks their spouse is having an affair. Facebook and other social media have opened the door to secret connections, contact with old flames and private conversations with co-workers. I didn’t fully understand the is-
sue until I found that my husband was communicating with various other women this way. I never expected this. My husband was an upstanding professional, and we had been married 25 years. When someone gets caught communicating with another and protests that “nothing happened,” what they mean is that they aren’t yet sexually involved. But a lot has happened. It’s a betrayal. Once a husband or wife closes a window to the spouse and opens it to another person, it creates an intimacy. A better definition of an affair is that it’s something that violates trust. My husband and I now work every day to keep those windows open only to each other. He finally understands that it’s not sex that makes the affair. It’s taking your emotional passion and giving it to someone other than your spouse. -- Trusting Again Dear Trusting: We agree that trust is the bottom line of any relationship, providing the security and confidence that allow it to survive for the long haul. We are glad that you and your husband managed to work on this together and repair your marriage. Thank you for offering both good counsel and hope for others.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Daily Corinthian family of magazines puts the focus on families this month with Crossroads Magazine Family Edition. Don’t miss it, coming Saturday, March 29.
Boy given up for adoption returns to mixed welcome DEAR ABBY: When I was in my early 20s, I had a baby boy I placed for adoption. I could barely take care of myself, let alone a newborn. The father wanted nothing to do with me or the baby, so I placed him with his relatives out of state, who adopted him. With counseling, I got my life back on track, finished college and got a good job. I am married now and have a family. After 20 years, this child, “Fred,” called me. We talked every night for a few weeks and I invited him here to live with me. BIG MISTAKE! Long story short, Fred is greedy, lazy and expects everyone to wait on him. He refuses to look for a job or go to school, and he expects me to pay all his expenses. I called his adoptive family. They said when things don’t go his way, Fred pouts and doesn’t communicate until he needs money. They feel exactly as I do — he should get a job or go to school. Abby, my family loves Fred and welcomed him with open arms, but I feel detached from him. As soon as I learned I was pregnant, I began separating myself because I knew it would be difficult to let go. I do not regard Fred as a member of my family and have no maternal feelings for him. I’d be OK if I knew he was doing well -- from a distance. But I’d prefer not to maintain a relationship.
I don’t love this young man, and I don’t know what to say when he says, “Love you, Mom.” Am I wrong Abigail feel this Van Buren to way? My family is trying to Dear Abby guilt me into accepting him, but I can’t. It’s not because of his greedy behavior, although that’s part of it. -- SINCERELY NOT HIS MOM DEAR SINCERELY: I’m printing your letter because although many adoption reunions go well, not all of them do. If other birth mothers would like to share their experiences, I’m inviting them to do so. However, I do have this to offer: Do NOT allow yourself to be trapped into doing anything with which you are not comfortable. Your feelings may be based on the circumstances surrounding Fred’s birth. They may also result from your disappointment in his lack of character. While you will always be Fred’s birth mother, you are NOT his “mom.” That distinction belongs to the woman who raised him. DEAR ABBY: My brother is dating one of my employees. She has one of those “take charge”
personalities. She’s pushy and she’s trying to worm her way into the family. At work I can keep her at bay, but at family events she’s out of control. She insists on doing and cooking everything -- including cleaning my mother’s house, which isn’t dirty, by the way. My older brothers’ significant others have noticed, but being the only daughter, I’m at my wits’ end. She won’t take “no thanks” for an answer. I’m trying to keep my brother’s happiness in mind and not cause a scene, but I’m afraid I’ll lose it one of these days. Any advice? -- I, TOO, CAN ORGANIZE A PICNIC DEAR I, TOO: Has it occurred to you that your brother’s girlfriend may be desperate to be accepted, which is why she’s going to such great lengths to please? My advice is to relax, because her efforts are no reflection on you. I’m sure you have done your part at many family functions. If her efforts are alienating the other significant others, perhaps they can stage an “intervention” and get her to calm down. In the meantime, hang onto your temper. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). To a forest animal, a snapping twig could mean your cub has come home, your next meal is close by or you’re in imminent danger. Be alert to the snapping twigs today and ready to respond in kind. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you’re not a monarch, CEO or traffic cop, you probably won’t be able to command people to do what you want today. But if you are crafty and clever, you’ll be able to engineer a desired response. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The cosmic gift offered to you today is objectivity. You will feel like a story writing itself, and you will enjoy the plot and affect it. You are both the audience and the main character. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Success will require half-skill and half-confidence. You don’t need to worry about the confidence part. As you work on your skills, your confidence will grow quite naturally. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You didn’t set out to discover how
you are perceived by others, and that is part of what makes today’s information from the “peanut gallery” so interesting and delightful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Has ennui set in? Your outer world will blossom after you gently shake your inner world awake. Get back to reading more. The magic that happens in your mind as you read is real and powerful. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be in mixed company: those who really want the truth and will apply it to a successful end, and those whose egos are too fragile for this. It will therefore be unwise to be too direct and honest in today’s discourse. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may not be able to use a tool you regularly employ to do your daily work. This may leave you feeling like a coyote without a sense of smell, but ultimately it will broaden your horizons, forcing you to explore your other gifts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Caution: You’ll be tempted

JUWAN STATEN, WEST VIRGINIA Staten was one of three Mountaineers to top the 20-point mark — joining forward Devin Williams and fellow guard Eron Harris — as West Virginia handed Big 12 champ Kansas a surprising 92–86 loss. Staten, a junior point guard, scored 24 points (14 from the foul line) and handed out nine assists to lead WVU to its ninth Big 12 win of the season. KENNY CHERY, BAYLOR Chery scored 29 points to lead Baylor to a résumé-building win at Kansas State on Saturday. The senior point guard hit 8-of-13 from the field and 13-of-14 from the foul line and also contributed six rebounds, six assists and three steals to help the Bears improve to 9–9 in the Big 12. RUSS SMITH, LOUISVILLE Smith showed his versatility in the final two games of the regular season. On Wednesday, the senior guard scored 26 points (and hit all six of his threes) to lead Louisville to a come-frombehind win at SMU. Then, on Sunday, he only scored three points but handed out a careerhigh 13 assists as the Cardinals pounded UConn 81–48 at the KFC Yum! Center. DEANDRE KANE, IOWA STATE Kane scored 27 points to help Iowa State overcome a 16-point deficit in Ames on Saturday. The senior guard, a transfer from Marshall, also had eight rebounds and eight assists in the Cyclones’ 85–81 OT win against Oklahoma State. LAMAR PATTERSON, PITTSBURGH Patterson tied his career high with 30 points to help Pittsburgh escape Clemson with an 83–78 OT win. The Panthers trailed by five points in the closing seconds of regulation but rallied to tie the score on a Patterson 3-pointer with three seconds remaining and a Josh Newkirk jump shot (after a Clemson turnover) at the buzzer. ERIC MORELAND, OREGON STATE Moreland stuffed the stat sheet with 16 points, 19 rebounds, four steals and three blocks to lead Oregon State to a 78–76 win over NCAA Tournament-bound Arizona State. The Beavers finished the regular season 8–10 and — barring a surprising run to the Pac-12 Tournament title — will miss the NCAA Tournament for the 24th consecutive season. DOUG MCDERMOTT, CREIGHTON Playing the final home game of his recordbreaking career, McDermott scored a careerhigh 45 points to lead Creighton to an 88–73 win over Providence on Senior Night in Omaha. McDermott, the overwhelming favorite to earn National Player of the Year honors, became the eighth player in Division I history to hit the 3,000-point mark. JABARI PARKER, DUKE Parker, a virtual lock to earn first-team AllAmerica honors as a freshman, scored a careerhigh 30 points and added 11 rebounds to help Duke avenge a loss to North Carolina with a 93– 81 win over the Tar Heels Saturday night in Durham. Parker became the fourth Duke freshman to score at least 30 points in a game, joining J.J. Redick (34 and 30), Kyrie Irving (31) and Johnny Dawkins (31). DEONTE BURTON, NEVADA Burton was spectacular last week, leading Nevada to wins at Boise State and vs. in-state rival UNLV. The 6’1" guard scored 24 points and had 11 assists and eight rebounds while playing all 50 minutes in a double-overtime win over Boise State and then had in 24 points, 11 assists and eight boards in the upset over UNLV. SEAN KILPATRICK, CINCINNATI Two days after scoring 34 points in an emotional Senior Night win over Memphis, Kilpatrick led UC with 24 points in a win over Rutgers on the road. The Bearcats finished in a tie with Louisville atop the American Athletic Conference standings and will be the No. 1 seed in the upcoming league tournament. COREY WALDEN, EASTERN KENTUCKY Walden poured in a career-high 29 points to lead Eastern Kentucky to a 79–73 win over No. 1 seed Belmont in the championship game of the OVC Tournament. Walden, a junior guard, averaged 23.3 points in the Colonels’ three OVC Tournament wins. EKU will be making its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007. T.J. WARREN, NC STATE Warren scored 42 points to lead NC State to a 78–68 win over Boston College on Sunday. The sophomore forward scored 41 points in his previous outing, making him the first ACC player to score 40 points in consecutive games since Kenny Anderson in 1990.

Athlon Sports’ Tournament Previews Big Ten Tournament Favorite — Michigan The Wolverines won the outright league title despite losing standout big man Mitch McGary to a season-ending back injury before conference play began. Dark horse — Nebraska Tim Miles has done a tremendous job making Nebraska basketball (or Nebrasketball) relevant in the Big Ten. The Huskers won nine of their final 10 games to earn the No. 4 seed in Indianapolis. Predicted winner — Michigan The Big Ten is loaded with elite coaches, but Michigan just might have the best game day coach in the business in John Beilein. He will find a way to lead the Wolverines to their first Big Ten Tournament championship since 1998.
ACC Tournament Favorite — Duke Virginia won the regular-season title, but Duke will be the team to beat in Greensboro. The Blue Devils have two elite talents — freshman Jabari Parker and sophomore Rodney Hood — and a supporting cast that is good enough to carry this team to a tournament title. Dark horse — NC State The Wolf Pack have been average at best for most of the season, but sophomore forward T.J. Warren has been one of the top scorers in the nation of late. He scored a total of 83 points in the final two regular-season games. Prediction — Virginia The Cavs will enter the ACC Tournament with something to prove. They won the regular-season title but probably have not been given proper credit due to their relatively soft league schedule. Tony Bennett will have his team ready to play. American Athletic Conference Tournament Favorite — Louisville The Cardinals closed the regular season by winning nine of their last 10 games, highlighted by an 81–48 beatdown against Connecticut on Senior Day last Saturday. Dark horse — Memphis The Tigers lacked consistency throughout much of the regular season, but they will have the luxury of playing the tournament on their home floor, the FedExForum. Josh Pastner’s team won its final seven AAC home games. Prediction — Louisville Russ Smith and the defending national champs head to Memphis on a mission. A No. 1 seed is probably out of reach, but a title this weekend could vault the Cardinals to a No. 2 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Big 12 Tournament Favorite — Kansas Kansas won the league title by two full games, but the Jayhawks will not be at full strength. Freshman center Joel Embiid missed the final two games of the season nursing a back injury and flew to California on Monday to see a specialist. Dark horse — Oklahoma State The Cowboys had a losing record in league play, but this is probably the second-most talented roster in the Big 12. Marcus Smart is capable of leading his team to four wins in four days.

Point guard Scottie Wilbekin and the Florida Gators are the overwhelming favorites to win the SEC Tournament in Atlanta. Florida went 18–0 in the SEC.
Predicted winner — Iowa State The Cyclones are built for postseason success. They have star power (three players average at least 16 points per game), experience (two senior starters) and are very well coached. Big East Tournament Favorite — Villanova Creighton stole the headlines for most of the season, but Villanova won the Big East regularseason title by two games. The Wildcats have been outstanding on both ends of the court. Dark horse — St. John’s In an honest moment, most coaches in the league will tell you that St. John’s might have the most talented team in the league. The Red Storm rallied late to finish 10–8. This is a dangerous team. Predicted winner — Creighton The Bluejays have some deficiencies on the defensive end of the floor, but they score with tremendous efficiency. This team, led by senior Doug McDermott, will be eager to shine on the big stage of Madison Square Garden.

Pac-12 Tournament Favorite — Arizona The Wildcats were the best team wire-to-wire in the improved Pac-12. The injury to sophomore forward Brandon Ashley has hurt this team’s depth, but the Cats still have more than enough to win the tournament. Dark horse — Oregon It was a strange season for the Ducks, who lost five in a row in January and then ended the regular season with seven straight wins. This team has a ton of weapons. Predicted winner — Arizona The Wildcats have only lost three times this season — all on the road. On a neutral court, Arizona is by far the best team in the league. Look for Sean Miller’s team to coast to the title. SEC Tournament Favorite — Florida The Gators cruised to the SEC regular-season championship with an 18–0 record. Florida is outstanding on defense and balanced on offense (five players average between 9.0 and 15.0 points). Dark horse — Tennessee It’s always dangerous to pick Tennessee in the SEC Tournament — the Vols have not advanced to Saturday since 2010 — but this team is playing its best basketball of the season at the right time. Predicted winner — Florida Florida doesn’t have a ton to play for — the Gators have already secured a No. 1 seed — but Billy Donovan has done a great job keeping his team motivated this season.

Top-seeded Virginia looking to buck history in ACC tourney BY HANK KURZ JR. Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Even after seeing its 13-game winning streak end in an overtime loss to Maryland in its regularseason finale, Virginia heads to the ACC tournament as the top seed with a 16-2 record in league play. On one hand, that would seem to make the sixth-ranked Cavaliers the favorites to cut down the nets at Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina. But on the other hand:
Virginia hasn’t won the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament in 38 years, hasn’t so much as reached the semifinals since 1995 and has lost 18 of its last 22 game in tourney play. It’s not just opponents the Cavaliers have to overcome, but history, too. That’s why several players said the loss Sunday may have come at the right time. “I hate calling losses good losses, but if there ever a time to have a good loss, this might have been the best one,” forward
Akil Mitchell said before Virginia practiced on Tuesday. Guard Malcolm Brogdon said it was a “little bit of a wake-up call” for Virginia. “We were living on a high a little bit,” said Brogdon, Virginia’s scoring leader with a 12.6 average and No. 2 rebounder (5.6). “We hadn’t lost in a while and it’s good when you’re humbled right before do-or-die time.” Brogdon, who made the All-ACC second team, believes the Cavaliers
earned respect by matching the league record for victories in a season, but added: “I do not feel like the favorite at all. ... I always feel like my team is underestimated regardless of what we do, what we accomplish. It’s good. It keeps you humble. It keeps you hungry.” And, the Cavaliers hope, also keeps them focused in their bid to buck history. “All the guys here are underdogs and we all have underdog mentalities, and for teams to be excited to play us means we just have
to bring it. Our margin for error is much smaller now,” Mitchell said. “I feel like every guy in this locker room, every guy on this team feels like we have a chance to win when we’re playing our style of basketball and doing it the right way,” he said. That way starts with defense. Virginia led the nation by holding teams to 55.4 points per game and won 12 of its 16 league games by 10 points or more. It’s only other ACC loss was by 69-65 at Duke,
a game decided in the final seconds. Coach Tony Bennett, named the ACC’s coach of the year on Tuesday, has lost four straight tournament games since the Cavaliers beat Boston College four years ago, and wants to see that drought end. “You’re not going to change who you are, but you really want to play well in this and advance,” Bennett said. “That’s kind of the challenge that’s in front of us, that we haven’t gone on in this.”

Ole Miss teammates Marshall Henderson and Jarvis Summers were chosen second-team All-SEC by league coaches in voting announced Tuesday. Henderson, a 6-foot-2 senior guard, ranks third in the league in scoring at 19.0 points per game and leads the country in 3-pointers made per game (4.3). The Hurst, Texas, native was also a second-team pick last year. Summers, a 6-3 junior guard, is eighth in the SEC in scoring at 16.9 points per game.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The Atlanta Braves agreed Wednesday on a $14.1 million, one-year contract with Ervin Santana, bolstering their injury plagued starting rotation. The 33-year-old right-hander went 9-10 with a 3.24 ERA in 32 starts for the Kansas City Royals last season and should make a huge impact with the battered Braves, who are facing the prospect of losing Kris Medlen for the season and opening with Brandon Beachy and Mike Minor on the disabled list. Medlen, who had been announced as Atlanta’s opening-day starter, left a spring training outing Sunday after grabbing his right elbow. Initial tests showed ligament damage, and he will undergo further examination to determine if he needs surgery for the second time in less than four years. Medlen said he’s already preparing himself to miss the entire season. Beachy left a start Monday because of continuing problems with his right elbow, and Minor has yet to pitch this spring because of a sore shoulder. Santana will be pitching in the NL for the first time in his 10-year career. He spent eight seasons with the Los Angeles Angels and one in Kansas City.

Broncos get Ware; Tampa cuts Revis BY HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press
Well, that didn’t take long. Pass rusher DeMarcus Ware got a $30 million, threeyear contract from the Denver Broncos on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after being released by the Dallas Cowboys. Not quite keeping pace with the nonstop nature of Day 1 of free agency, Day 2 did include the Buccaneers releasing cornerback Darrelle Revis after failing to trade him; receiver Golden Tate leaving the Super Bowl champion Seahawks to play alongside All-Pro Calvin Johnson with the Lions; and the Browns cutting two quarterbacks, Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell. The Revis move saved the Bucs a $1.5 million bonus that would have been due if he remained on the roster with his $16 million salary. It also freed up room under the cap for a continuing roster over-
haul under new coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jason Licht. With Broncos executive John Elway showing the same ability to close a deal that he did during his Hall of Fame career as a quarterback — and used two years ago to lure Peyton Manning to Denver — Ware’s first team visit resulted in a deal that includes $20 million in guaranteed money. “It’s a perfect fit for me,” Ware said at a news conference. He’ll pair with linebacker Von Miller to give AFC champion Denver a pair of quarterback chasers. Elway has been busy upgrading the defense during the first two days of the NFL’s free-agency period, adding cornerback Aqib Talib from the Patriots and safety T.J. Ward on Tuesday. The 31-year-old Ware had 117 sacks and went to seven Pro Bowls in nine seasons
with the Cowboys. He had a career-low six sacks last season, when he missed time with a thigh injury, then had offseason elbow surgery. The Cowboys made another move to clear cap space Wednesday, jettisoning receiver Miles Austin, as expected, saving about $5.5 million. Austin’s release is effective June 1. Revis, meanwhile, spent only one season with the Bucs, who got him from the Jets for a 2013 first-round draft pick and a 2014 fourth-round choice. If Revis had still been on Tampa Bay’s roster by 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, the Bucs would have needed to upgrade that 2014 draft pick to a third-rounder. The Bucs already signed a topflight cornerback, former Titans player Alterraun Verner, on Tuesday, when they also brought aboard defensive end Michael
Johnson, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald and tight end Brandon Myers. Tampa Bay added a quarterback Wednesday by agreeing to a two-year contract with Josh McCown, a backup who got a chance to start five games last season for the Bears in place of an injured Jay Cutler. A player expecting to be on the move soon was Carolina receiver Steve Smith, whose agent, Derrick Fox, told The Associated Press the five-time Pro Bowl pick “is not going to play for the Panthers next year.” Fox said he expected Smith to get cut, although Carolina was trying to trade him. In other news Wednesday: ■ Yet another pass rusher became available when defensive end Chris Clemons was released by the Seahawks. Please see NFL | 13
Kobe won’t be coming back this season BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Kobe Bryant won’t be back on the court for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Bryant expressed only mild frustration Wednesday after the official announcement of the long-expected decision to shut him down for the year. Bryant’s broken bone in his left knee still hasn’t healed enough for weight-bearing exercise. With just five weeks left in their miserable season, the
Lakers elected to preserve their superstar guard for next year, when he’ll be 36. “It’s disappointing,” Bryant said at the Lakers’ training complex. “You want to get out there and play and perform, but at the same time, you’ve just got to be realistic and go from there.” Bryant has played in just six games this season, the shortest in the remarkable career of the fourth-leading scorer in NBA history. He missed the first 19 games after tearing his left Achilles tendon last April,
and the five-time NBA champion was back in uniform for just 10 days before fracturing the top of his shinbone in Memphis on Dec. 17. The Lakers initially thought Bryant could return shortly after six weeks of recovery, but the bone has been slow to heal. “With Kobe’s injury still not healed, the amount of time he’d need to rehab and be ready to play, and the amount of time remaining in the season, we’ve simply run out of time for him to return,” Lak-
ers trainer Gary Vitti said. Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni hasn’t been expecting Bryant’s imminent return, and he knew Kobe couldn’t save the injury-ravaged team’s lousy campaign. At 22-42, Los Angeles began the day in a three-way tie for last place in the Western Conference with 29 losses in its last 38 games heading into Thursday’s trip to Oklahoma City. “Seems like this is what’s best for his health,” D’Antoni Please see KOBE | 13
Michigan tries to end Big Ten tourney drought BY MICHAEL MAROT
Braves sign RHP Santana to help bolster rotation
Thursday, March 13, 2014
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — No. 8 Michigan ended one championship drought by clinching its first outright Big Ten crown last week. Now the Wolverines will get a chance to end another title drought in the conference tournament, which has been filled with some of the school’s most forgettable basketball moments — from Evan Turner’s 40-foot buzzer-beater for Ohio State to the embarrassment of having the 1998 title stripped away because of NCAA sanctions. Maybe this time, Michigan can put those images behind it for good. “You’ve just got to go and get through those first games
and really play well,” coach John Beilein said before leaving for Indianapolis. “You’ve got to find ways to get lucky and got to find times to play hard and if you can, you’ll be sitting there in the championship game.” The Wolverines (23-7) are the favorite. They have the conference’s player of the year, Nik Stauskas, and the media’s choice for coach of the year in Beilein. They have a fivegame winning streak and 15 wins in conference play. They have multiple NBA prospects and for the first time in school history, the defending national runner-ups are seeded No. 1. But Beilein also is well aware of what can go wrong
in the postseason. He led the Wolverines to semifinal appearances in 2011 and 2012, but they haven’t played for a title since or won more than one game in a single tourney since that ‘98 championship run, which was later expunged. Michigan’s march toward redemption begins Friday against either eighth-seeded Illinois (18-13) or ninth-seeded Indiana (17-14), who play today. No. 24 Ohio State (23-8), the five seed, plays 12thseeded Purdue (15-16) in today’s other afternoon game. Seventh-seeded Minnesota faces 10th-seeded Penn State, while sixth-seeded Iowa and 11th-seeded Northwestern meet in tonight’s games.
No. 12 Wisconsin (25-6), No. 23 Michigan State (238) and Nebraska (19-11) — the second, third and fourth seeds — all earned byes into Friday’s quarterfinals. The Badgers will play Minnesota (19-12) or Penn State (15-16), while the Spartans get Iowa (20-11) or Northwestern (1318) and Nebraska squares off against Minnesota (19-12) or Penn State (15-16). Here are five things to look for this week in Indianapolis.

Gattis homers as Braves’ split squad defeats Marlins BY CHUCK KING Associated Press
JUPITER, Fla. — Evan Gattis hit his first homer of spring training, a fourth-inning solo drive Wednesday as an Atlanta Braves’ split squad beat the Miami Marlins 3-1. Gattis batted .368 with six homers during spring training last year — a fast start he attributed to playing winter ball. He skipped winter ball this offseason.
Now Gattis feels like he’s starting to find his groove. He went 1 for 3 and raised his average to .226. “That’s what he can do for us swing the bat and put one in the seats real quick,” Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. Henderson Alvarez allowed one run and five hits in 32⁄3 innings, giving up the home run on a sinker. In his first start of spring training, Alvarez
retired nine straight batters against St. Louis on Friday. That was his first game action since pitching a no-hitter on the final day last season. B.J. Upton’s hit was the first off Alvarez since Cameron Rupp’s seventh-inning single for Philadelphia on Sept. 24. “I wasn’t focused on not allowing another hit, I was just more focused about getting my work in and continuing to prepare for opening day,”
Alvarez said through an interpeter. In his second appearance for the Marlins, Carlos Marmol allowed three hits in 11⁄3 scoreless innings. He induced an inning-ending, double-play grounder from Jordan Schafer in the fifth after Ramiro Pena reached on an error by second baseman Derek Dietrich. Please see BRAVES | 13

said. “Just make sure he’s well, and get ready for next year, that’s the No. 1 thing.” And though Bryant has barely played this season, the famed competitor hasn’t enjoyed his perspective on the Lakers’ failures. “I feel like killing everybody every time I go to the arena,” Bryant said. “I’m just on edge all the time. Yeah, I still feel it, probably more than anybody in the organization does. I probably feel it more, and it drives me absolutely crazy.” Bryant discussed more than his injury in what’s likely to be his final public comments for a while. He also used the occasion to ask for “a clear direction” of the Lakers’ path through what’s certain to be a rocky offseason, mentioning owners Jim and Jeanie Buss by name. Bryant said he won’t be satisfied with another rebuilding year for the Lakers, who are virtually certain to miss the playoffs next month for just the second time in his 18-season career in Los Angeles. Bryant signed a two-year, $48.5 million
contract extension earlier this season with the Lakers, absorbing a large chunk of the team’s upcoming salary-cap space. “How can I be satisfied with it?” Bryant asked. “We’re like 100 games under .500. I can’t be satisfied with that at all. This is not what we stand for. This is not what we play for. A lot of times, it’s hard to understand that message if you’re not a die-hard Laker fan. It’s hard to really understand where we’re coming from, what we’re used to, what we’re accustomed to, which is playing for championships. Everything else is a complete failure. That’s just how it is.” Bryant also threw indirect criticism at the Lakers’ front office when asked about Phil Jackson’s apparent decision to take a frontoffice job with the New York Knicks. The Lakers flirted with re-hiring the 11-time NBA champion coach early last season before unexpectedly choosing D’Antoni. “You know how I feel about Phil,” Bryant said. “I have so much admiration for him, and respect, and have a great relationship with him..”
BRAVES CONTINUED FROM 12
Atlanta scored two unearned runs off Steve Cishek in the eighth. Rob Brantly homered off Cody Martin with two outs in the ninth.
Starting time Atlanta: Yunesky Maya allowed three hits in three scoreless innings. The 32-year-old righthander is likely to begin the season in the minors. “He’s a guy we are looking for, if he does not break camp with us to go to Atlanta, maybe somewhere down in the middle of the season he can help us,” Gonzalez said. Miami: Alvarez threw first-pitch strikes to 13 of 15 batters. “I try to throw strikes at the beginning, try to let they batter swing, try to get through the inning quick,” Alvarez said.
TRAINER’S ROOM Marlins second baseman Rafael Furcal (hamstring) and utility man Jeff Baker (quadriceps) should return to game action soon. “Both are feeling much better,” Miami manager Mike Redmond said. “They are going to do some light activity today and if everything goes well, go through all baseball activity tomorrow. I wouldn’t rule out them playing in the next couple days.”
Pitching help After watching starters Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy go down with injuries this spring, Atlanta agreed to a $14.1 million, one-year contract with free agent Ervin Santana.
Santana threw a bullpen at the Braves spring training complex on Wednesday, which Gonzalez said went well. Despite his late entrance to camp, Santana could be ready for the start of the season. “It will be close,” Gonzalez said. “We are kind of keeping our fingers crossed that we can get him enough innings where he can start for us.”
Check the runner Alvarez and Maya both picked runners off first in first inning. Maya was also charged with a balk later in the frame.
Next to close Should Cishek need a day off during the regular season, Redmond said he could turn to either A.J. Ramos, Mike Dunn or Marmol. Ramos closed in the minor leagues, and Marmol has been a closer at the major league level. The inclusion of Dunn was a bit of a surprise. “I would have no hesitation putting him out there,” Redmond said.
