Stolen car recovered BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A car stolen from a Corinth residence early this week was found abandoned in a field Wednesday afternoon. Police suspect some joyriding kids might be the culprits who took a 2006 Chrysler Sebring from the driveway of 1515 Jackson Street sometime between 9 p.m. Monday and 6:15 a.m. Tuesday. At the time the car was taken, the doors were apparently unlocked and the keys were inside, said Detective Capt. Ralph Dance.
The car contained a large amount of tools. Police had no leads, but the white vehicle turned up in a hay field in the county Wednesday afternoon. Dance did not immediately know if the tools were still inside. Contact PD at 286-3377 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-773tips with information about this case.

The Alcorn Career and Technology Center FFA Chapter is ready to add some greenery to the lives of plant lovers. Students in the Ag/Natural Resources class are set to have its annual plant sale Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon. Close to 200 ferns and other plants can be purchased at the greenhouse behind the technology center. “We began planting in September and have kept them go-
ing all winter,” said Ag/Natural Resources instructor David Nowell. Students in the class have been involved in the handson approach when it comes to growing the huge Macho ferns. “We see kids come in here who don’t much about growing things,” said Nowell. “They are fine when it comes to taking test on computers, but planting has become a dying art.” Macho, Boston and Kimberly Queen ferns will be available Saturday. Cost is $15 with all
proceeds going to benefit the FFA Chapter at the center. “People really like the big ferns like the Macho type,” added the instructor. As the weather gets better, Nowell’s students will begin getting outside more and working on a vegetable garden. “The kids really enjoy getting outside and working on things like a garden,” said Nowell. “Over the last nine weeks, we will be able to come outside and do some landscaping and add things to the garden.”

the group, it’s sometimes hard to find room in our set lists to feature our band members on vocals,” Dunn said. “I decided to make it a point to do so on this final Showtime.” Campus Country band members will be singing a diverse mix of songs including “Folsom Prison Blues” by Johnny Cash; “Worn” by Tenth Avenue North; “Something” by The Beatles; and the show’s title piece, “Day for the Dead” by the Zac Brown Band. “‘Day for the Dead’ has been a particularly fun song to work up. It’s packed with vocal harmonies and tricky instrumental sections and is definitely our most ambitious undertaking of the semester,” Dunn said. “One of our drummers, Nolan Hill, actually asked about performing this song before he even joined the group. We’re excited for everyone to hear it. And ‘Something’ has always been one of my favorite Beatles songs. I was thrilled when our electric guitarist, Ben Ricketts, asked to sing it.” Campus Country’s set list also includes a mix of both classic and modern country. The group will perform country classics such as: “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?” by Waylon Jennings; Please see SHOWTIME | 2

Campus Country sets final Showtime of year BOONEVILLE — Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Campus Country will hold its final Showtime performance of the 2013-14 academic year on Saturday in Seth Pounds Auditorium on the Booneville campus. Curtain rises at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m. on the season finale entitled, “Day for the Dead.” Admission is free with a Northeast student, staff or faculty identification card and is only $5 for general admission to the public. April’s performance will also serve as the final Showtime for many of the sophomore members of the group. “We’ve been really pressed for rehearsal time in the second half of the semester, so our set list is a bit shorter than usual,” said Northeast campus country director Chris Dunn. “One of my sophomore vocalists, Karly Clayton, pitched the idea of doing an acoustic “pre-show” featuring the singers who are graduating. That seemed like a great idea to me and it will give my veteran singers a bit more stage time. They’re learning the material on their own time outside of our usual rehearsal schedule.” Northeast’s acoustic preshow will begin at 6:30 pm. “With so many singers in

Tishomingo makes felony arrests BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@ dailycorinthian.com
IUKA — The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department has arrested six individuals on felony charges. Those taken into custody and charged were: ■Ollie Lovelace, 48, of Tishomingo, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. Lovelace is currently out on bond. ■Daniel Schwartz, 19, of Bethel Springs, Tenn., conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
Schwartz remains jailed in Tishomingo County. â– Sara Thomas, 23, of Adamsville, Tenn., conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. Thomas is out on bond. â– Scharla Maxwell Huff, 36, of Tishomingo, credit card fraud, sale of methamphetamine and sale of a controlled substance. Huff remains in custody at the Tishomingo County Jail. â– Billy Joe Riddell, 38, of Iuka, two counts of burglary/larceny of a building. Riddell remains in custody at the Tishom-
ingo County Jail. â– Brandon Ray Smith, 35, of Iuka, sale of a controlled substance. Ray remains in custody at the Tishomingo County Jail. The department also received calls of individuals in the county being contacted by scam artists. “The public needs to be aware of scammers,â€? said sheriff Glenn Whitlock. “You should never give out personal information over the phone to someone you do not know ‌ remember the old saying that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.â€?
and children in need.� Information on ways to assist the center will also be available Friday. “It has been their mission to help the homeless,� added Briggs. “Now we can help them by donating monetarily or giving an item to be used in the raffle.� Organizers of the center purchased the old church building in 2012 to turn it into a shelter for homeless women and children. Before any renovations could be done
on the 36,000 squarefoot facility, the center had to install a sprinkler system to meet city building ordinances. The completed project was finished at a cost around $26,000. The goal was to be a place where women and children would receive meals, a warm bed and lodging with clean bathrooms. “We now have two rooms completed and are able to set up more if needed,� said Saffore.

FIND OUT HOW DURING
JACKSON — The number of applicants to open Mississippi’s first charter school has been narrowed to three. The state’s Charter School Authorizer Board voted Wednesday to declare three applications eligible and complete to move forward. They are Reimagine Prep, which would operate grades 5-8 in Jackson; Phoenix Early College Charter School, which would operate grades 9-12 in the Natchez-Adams school district; and the Inspire Charter School STEM & ARTS Scholars Academy, which would operate grades K-6 and 9 in Columbus. “We are excited about being moved to the next phase of the process,� said Darren Leach, a leader of the Columbus group. “Now the work really begins.� Of the original 12 groups that had applied, one withdrew. Four didn’t provide more informa-

Cardin said the board wants schools to be frank with evaluators, who will prepare a report for the board. “It’s more out of respect for the individual applicants than anything else,� Cardin said after the meeting. “They may have some information they want to share with us that they don’t want to state publicly.� The board also plans hearings to gauge public support in the three communities where schools are proposed. The board plans to vote on approving applications June 2, finalizing contracts with any approved schools later that month. The board also voted Wednesday to advertise for an executive director, after the 2014 Legislature removed a requirement that the director be a lawyer licensed in Mississippi.

This show will also feature Dunn on electric bass. “Our bass player needed to bow out of the group to devote more time to his career. With so little time left in the semester, I knew it would be almost impossible to find a replacement,� Dunn said. “So, I’ve taken over on bass and Nathan Smith has joined us to replace me as soundman. I’ve played on a song or two with this group over the past few years, but it’s been really fun to rehearse an entire set list with them. They honestly play and sing as well, and sometimes better, as groups I performed with during my time in Nashville.� Campus Country will also be performing as the headlining act of Hometown Heritage in downtown Booneville on May 3. The group will take the stage at 5 p.m. This show, Campus Country’s final performance of the school year, will feature
the group revisiting their favorite songs from their 2013-14 set lists. Members of Campus Country 2013-14 include Anna Bray of Booneville (vocals), Karly Clayton of Mooreville (vocals), Lindsey Cox of Booneville (vocals), Emily Finch of Saltillo (acoustic guitar/vocals), Chasie Gentry of Baldwyn (vocals), Hannah Beth Johnson of Corinth (vocals), Paige Johnston of Kossuth (vocals), Michaela Harper of Tishomingo (vocals), Nolan Hill of Ripley (drums/vocals), Lazarrus Miller of Shannon (keys), Ben Ricketts of Corinth (electric guitar/vocals), Kurt Robbins of Booneville (vocals), Nathan Smith of Ripley (sound), Javontae Thompson of Shannon (drums), and Bradley Walker of Booneville (electric guitar/vocals), Katelin Wallace of Tishomingo (vocals), and Makayla Voyles of Glen (vocals).

Local/Region Master Gardeners see the fruits of their labor BY KERI COLLINS LEWIS MSU Ag Communications
Today’s Highlight in History: On April 10, 1864, during the Civil War, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, an assistant surgeon for the 52nd Ohio Volunteers, was captured by the Confederates and accused of being a Union spy; she was held until her release in August 1864 as part of a prisoner exchange. (Walker received the Medal of Honor in 1865, the only woman to date so recognized; although the citation was withdrawn in 1917, Walker continued to wear the medal until her death in 1919. President Jimmy Carter restored the citation in 1977.)
On this date: In 1790, President George Washington signed the first United States Patent Act. In 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was incorporated. In 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its ill-fated maiden voyage. In 1925, the novel “The Great Gatsby,” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was first published. In 1932, German president Paul Von Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff, with Adolf Hitler coming in second. In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers president Branch Rickey purchased the contract of Jackie Robinson from the Montreal Royals. In 1953, the 3-D horror movie “House of Wax,” produced by Warner Bros. and starring Vincent Price, premiered in New York. In 1963, the fastattack nuclear submarine USS Thresher sank during deep-diving tests east of Cape Cod, Mass., in a disaster that claimed 129 lives. In 1974, Golda Meir told party leaders she was resigning as prime minister of Israel. In 1998, the Northern Ireland peace talks concluded as negotiators reached a landmark settlement to end 30 years of bitter rivalries and bloody attacks.
Jerry Don Keith has been gardening for years, but he had the best garden he’s ever grown after he attended the Master Gardener training last spring. “I knew I had a lot to learn, but I had no idea that the Master Gardeners would cover so much,” Keith said. “It’s not just about vegetable gardening, but trees, weeds, grass and soil. It’s learning what to do in gardens and yards. Sometimes the little things we learn are the most important.” Keith said he has lived in Tishomingo all his life, except for one stint in Memphis. After he retired from the John Deere Company, he went through 40 hours of Master Gardener training provided by the Mississippi State University Extension Service. “I learned why plants do what they do, as far as growing,” he said. “I learned about the diseases plants get and what to do about it, what will and won’t grow in our area, and the best species of plants to grow.” He took his newfound knowledge and ran his 2013 garden like it was a scientific experiment. Under one row of tomatoes, he put a soaker hose. He left one row without. “I could tell a difference in the yield, quality and disease presence,” he said. “I had learned that the biggest percentage of problems with tomatoes is lack of water and lack of calcium, which is moved up the plant by water. I had less end rot, better quality fruit and steadier production with the soaker hose.” Keith also tried different corn varieties to please his grandsons, who love to eat it. “I had a tremendous year. I am 6 feet 2 inches tall, and I had corn that was 12 feet tall,” he said. “Some plants had two ears of corn higher than my head.” He also grew peas, beans, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, bell peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon and cucumbers. This year, Keith is return-

Jerry Don Keith (right), Tishomingo County Master Gardener, helps his grandson Brooks Keith select tomato plants from James Tennyson’s inventory at Fairless Hardware Co. in Tishomingo on April 3. ing to the county Extension office to pick up pointers from the next round of classes and share his experiences with new participants. He also plans to develop a gardening program at a local school. “I want to show them they can grow what they eat,” he said. “It’s hard to get kids to eat vegetables. We live in a fast-paced world, and it’s hard to get healthy food that’s fast. I want to do demonstrations and projects that fit in with the teachers’ lesson plans. “I’m a firm believer we need to get our kids more involved in nature,” Keith said. Lelia Kelly coordinates the statewide Master Gardener program for the MSU Extension Service. She organizes videoconference training classes for all interested counties. “The Master Gardener program is a county-driven program,” Kelly said. “Some counties do their own face-toface classes, some have multicounty efforts and others use the videoconference classes.” Each county coordinator decides how best to meet local clients’ needs for scheduling the 40 hours of required classroom instruction. In addition to instructional time,
participants must complete 40 hours of community service before becoming official Master Gardeners. “Different people have different skills, so they work with their local Extension agent and Master Gardeners to figure out the best ways to give back to their communities,” Kelly said. “Some people are great speakers, some are good writers and others are good with kids. Other county groups have ongoing landscaping projects they work on together. They all serve as ambassadors for the program and for the Extension Service.” To remain active, Master Gardener volunteers must donate 20 service hours and complete 12 continuing education hours annually. In 2013, about 1,600 active Master Gardeners in Mississippi donated nearly 48,000 volunteer hours. That equates to nearly 23 full-time positions in the MSU Extension Service and a value of more than $1 million, Kelly said. To learn more about the Master Gardener program, visit http://msucares.com/ lawn/master_gardener or contact the local Extension office.

Booneville considers landlord license BOONEVILLE — Landlords in Booneville will have a second chance to weigh in on a proposed licensing requirement for rental property owners. Booneville Aldermen voted Tuesday to hold a second public hearing, set for 6 p.m. on Monday, April 14 at city hall, to hear from the public about the proposal to require all those offering residential property for rent in the city to obtain a free license. The license system was proposed in February and officials said then the goal was to create a database of all rental property available in the city to aid in marketing the area to potential industry. Under the proposal landlords failing to comply would face a fine of up to $1,000 for an individual or $2,000 for a company. Board members said a previous hearing on the issue was sparsely attended by both the public and board members due to numerous scheduling conflicts and they want to be sure everyone has an opportunity to be heard before a decision is made.

Massive voter fraud tainted 2012 election BY DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN Columnists
Allegations of voter fraud fly back and forth in modern American politics, each based on episodic personal observations or on anomalous electoral outcomes. But now for the very first time, comes concrete proof of massive voter fraud in the 2012 election, sufficiently widespread to have tainted over one million votes nationwide. So far the data does not indicate which side committed the fraud or even whether it was orchestrated at all, but the fact of the fraud is now undeniable. North Carolina, under the leadership of their Election Board chairman Kim Strach, studied the rolls of those who voted there and compared them with data from 27 other states. The conclusion: 35,750 people voted in North Carolina and also voted in at least one other state in the 2012 election. The duplicate vote finding is based on the people who voted in North Carolina having the same first and last names and the same birth dates as those voting in other states. In 765 cases, the last four digits of the voters’ Social Security number were identical as well. The study is based on a study of 101 million voter records in 27 participating states. Since none of the four biggest states -- California, Texas, Florida and New York -- participated in the study, a truly national study would likely have yielded a far larger number. Since North Carolina has about 2.5 percent of America’s population, the projected number of actual double votes nationally may reach to one million. Past allegations of fraud have all been based on voter registration data, indicating a vast potential for fraud but, without proof of actual double voting, no hard evidence. But the North Carolina study focused only on those who actually cast ballots, a far more important criteria. Critics of the study point out that there is no concrete evidence of voter fraud and that no prosecutions have been brought. But these names surely provide an investigatory bonanza for those willing to follow the trail. The impetus for collecting national voting data and interfacing them for fraud comes from Kris Kobach, Secretary of State in Kansas. Kobach initiated the interface, called the Interstate Voter Crosscheck Program in 2005. Progressive Pulse blogger Chris Kromm charges that the results of studies by other states have produced much noise but few real results. But unless an aggressive investigation pursues these double votes, we will never know how serious the problem really is. Isaiah Thompson of AxisPhilly noted the record keeping spots many people who have moved and registered in a new state but whose old voter records have not been purged. Thompson’s criticism would hold water were North Carolina comparing voter registrations, but since it compared actual votes, it does not. What is clearly needed is an interstate effort by local prosecutors to coordinate their investigations of double voters. Let DAs in two states confront the double voters themselves and ask how it is that they voted twice, who helped to facilitate their fraud, did anyone help pay for their travel, did they get compensation for voting twice and so forth. Some of the apparent double voting may, in fact, represent two different people who happen to have the same names and dates of birth. What mission could be more central to our political integrity? If, in fact, up to a million Americans voted twice in the last election, we need to know who did, why they did and if it was a coordinated effort by one of the political parties to induce the fraud.
Prayer for today My Lord, I pray that I may always be found clothed in love and kindness. Make me worthy to minister to those who may be dependent on me, and whether they be rich or poor, high or low, may I try to help them. Amen.

A passenger train is speeding toward the location, and those in charge realize there is a potential problem ahead but choose instead to argue about the ambient temperature in the passenger cars, the food service and whether they will reach their final destination on time. A few people are quite disturbed when they learn of the tragedy about to unfold if the train isn’t halted, but they are labeled as “alarmists” who really are not sophisticated enough to understand the situation. Obviously, I am referring to our nation and the impending disaster that awaits us if we continue on a course of ever-expanding government control of our lives, fiscal irresponsibility, unwise energy policies and a laissez-faire attitude regarding our world leadership responsibilities. Conservatives and other thinking individuals must recognize that we are in dire straits. They must adopt a sense of urgency in order to prevent irreparable

damage to the concept of a nation where people are free to pursue their dreams without interference -- as long as they are not harming oth-
ers. They should not be arguing among themselves over petty differences and refusing to support individuals who largely agree with them about the direction of the country but perhaps have some disagreements about issues that easily could be resolved after the disaster has been averted. It is troubling to see members of the tea party being attacked by establishment conservatives, and vice versa. If they get angry when their candidate loses in a primary race and refuse to support the winner, they are playing right into the hands of the progressives, from whom they could learn much. Currently, there are two major visions for America. Liberals envision an overarching central government
that controls all of the resources and ensures “equitable” redistribution in a way that prevents anyone from suffering hardship, regardless of their lifestyle and life choices. The conservative vision emphasizes personal responsibility and a governmental role confined by the U.S. Constitution. This is the vision that was embraced by our founders. The liberal vision, however, seems to be rapidly gaining momentum, even though many of its proponents would argue that either the government is not really trying to take control, or authority is a necessary function in its role of determining qualifications for licenses, setting standards and establishing such things as age requirements for public school attendance. These big-government proponents also argue that Obamacare is no more intrusive on our freedoms than other forms of government regulation. This indicates a lack of understanding of the liberal nature of governmental control, which eventually results in authoritarian oversight of virtually every
aspect of our lives. By encircling businesses, educational institutions and health care enterprises with massive regulatory shackles, the government eventually will be able to shut down virtually any entity that refuses to cooperate with its mandates. We must look at the big picture and concentrate our efforts on establishing responsible fiscal policies, fair taxation, responsible energy and environmental policies, and empowerment through education. Many social issues can be dealt with in time, including entitlement reform. To worry about these issues before addressing the failing economy is a mistake. The dismal state of the economy, as indicated by the falling labor-force participation rate, is conducive to the further development of big-government programs. By the same token, the policies that will result in an explosion of the economy will make entitlement reform much easier. If we focus on the big picture, everyone will win. Ben S. Carson is professor emeritus of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University.
We must return to what works The Fiscal Times reported last week that the State Department has missing files or incomplete files for more than $6 billion in State Department contracts. Steve Linick, State’s inspector general, issued a “management alert” warning that “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted for dollars over the last six years.” “For instance,” writes the FT, “a recent investigation of the closeout process for contracts supporting the mission in Iraq, showed that auditors couldn’t find 33 of the 115 contract files totaling about $2.1 billion. Of the remaining 82 files, auditors said 48 contained insufficient documents required by federal law.” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf says the $6 billion isn’t missing, but that State is merely experiencing “bureaucratic issues,” which it’s addressing. The lack of internal control is an apt description for what is wrong with the federal government, which seems incapable of controlling its spending. Oh, how far we’ve come from the days of our grand-

parents, who lived through the Great Depression and World War II. Then, slogans like Cal “waste not, Thomas want not” and “use it Columnist up, wear it out, make it do or do without” were necessities not just for winning a war, but surviving as a family. Then, children were told to clean their plates because somewhere in the world people were starving. The Puritan ethic reminded people to always live within their means. Envy, greed and entitlement were regarded as “sins.” I recall an address given by the late Catholic Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. He asked, “How do you define a football field?” His answer? “By its boundaries.” Sheen’s point was that when boundaries are crossed, trouble ensues. The Founders gave us a Constitution with boundaries that restrict the power and reach of government. We have exceeded those boundaries, which is why government no longer
works and we have massive debt. The duplicative nature of many government programs and the “eternal life” most seem to have without ever having to prove their effectiveness, has contributed not only to the debt, but to the deepening cynicism felt by many Americans. According to a recent ReasonRupe poll, Americans were asked to guess between zero to 100 what percentage of their elected officials used their political power to help their friends and hurt their enemies. On average, the poll found that Americans think 70 percent of their elected officials do so. In addition, those surveyed were asked to guess between zero to 100 what percentage of their elected officials are corrupted by special interests. They responded that 75 percent were probably corrupted by special interests. Also according to the poll, Congress has an “approval rating” of just 17 percent and President Obama’s approval numbers continue to decline (43 percent) with 51 percent disapproving of his performance. To return government to its constitutional boundaries we need a new Grace Com-

mission. Established in 1982 by President Reagan and headed by businessman J. Peter Grace, the Grace Commission conducted an audit of the federal government with the goal of eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. Its voluminous report was presented to Congress, which promptly shelved it. Republicans, who have occasionally proposed fiscal restraint, should promise an audit of the federal government if voters return them to a Senate majority in November and the White House in 2016. It will be difficult, but it must be done or the future of increasing debt and lack of personal responsibility will cripple the country, perhaps beyond healing. Focusing on “what works,” and getting rid of what doesn’t is the way back from the fiscal brink. We had better start soon, though, because spending like there’s no tomorrow will ensure there isn’t one for the country bequeathed to us.

Republicans derail gender pay gap bil WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans have derailed an electionyear Democratic bill curbing paycheck discrimination against women. The bill’s rejection was widely expected, yet Democrats hope the effort will pay political dividends in this November’s congressional elections. They are trying to drive up turnout this fall by women, who historically lean more Democratic than men. It was the third consecutive election year in which Senate Democrats have pushed the bill and Republicans have shot it down. Wednesday’s vote was 53-44 for ending GOP blocking tactics against the bill — six short of the 60 votes needed. The bill would make it harder for employers to pay women less than men in comparable jobs, and easier for aggrieved workers to sue.
Obama: Nation draws strength from post FORT HOOD, Texas — President Barack Obama says the nation is drawing strength from relatives of the victims of the fatal shootings last week at Fort Hood. He says the tragedy tears at wounds that are still raw from a deadly mass shooting on the sprawling Army post five years ago. Obama told relatives of the victims that he’s there to honor their
loved ones and offer whatever comfort he can. Officials say Spc. Ivan Lopez fatally shot three soldiers and wounded 16 others before killing himself a week ago at the Texas military base. In 2009, another soldier killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others at the Army post.
Punishment phase in stabbing begins HOUSTON — Jurors are hearing about the criminal history of a Houston woman convicted of stabbing her boyfriend to death with a stiletto shoe heel before deciding her sentence. Ana Trujillo was convicted of murder for striking 59-year-old Alf Stefan Andersson at least 25 times in the face with her 5 ½-inch stiletto shoe heel during an argument in June at his Houston condominium. Her attorneys say she was defending herself from an attack by Andersson. During testimony in a Houston courtroom Wednesday in the punishment phase of Trujillo’s trial, several police officers told jurors Trujillo had been arrested twice for drunken driving. A former security guard testified Trujillo attacked him, and another man told jurors she broke into his apartment. Trujillo faces up to life in prison for Andersson’s death.

Sailing family back in US with baby SAN DIEGO — A Navy warship carrying a family whose sailboat broke down in the Pacific Ocean with a sick toddler has arrived in California. A Navy spokeswoman says the ship carrying the Kaufman family arrived Wednesday at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego. Charlotte and Eric Kaufman sent out a distress signal Thursday from 900 miles off the coast of Mexico when their sailboat broke down and their 1-yearold daughter Lyra was vomiting and suffering from diarrhea and fever. Her 3-year-old sister was also on the boat. Rescuers reached them Sunday, with California Air National Guard members parachuting down to the 36foot sailboat.

Yarber, Lumumba headed for runoff JACKSON — City Council member Tony Yarber and Chokwe Antar Lumumba, son of the late Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, will be in an April 22 runoff to see who will become Jackson’s next mayor. Complete, but unofficial, returns from Tuesday’s election show only 10 votes separate the two. Affidavit and absentee ballots are still to be counted. Thirteen candidates were on the ballot, including former Mayor Harvey Johnson and two other city council members and state Sen. John Horhn. The election came one month after the funeral of the elder Lumumba, who was elected last June and died Feb. 25. The candidates ran without party affiliation. The winner will complete late mayor’s term. The younger Lumumba, an attorney, said the next two weeks will be spent getting out and communicating his vision to the people. “We want to make sure our message is clear,� he said. “If the people didn’t know our message that was our fault.� Yarber said his experience as a secondterm council member is a plus, but also he believes the people of Jackson are ready for his plan to make changes faster and move the city forward. “Over the next two weeks, we will continue to articulate our vision to move this city forward.
We will continue to address people and knock on doors,� he said.
Camille’s winds at coast downgraded MIAMI — The National Hurricane Center has downgraded Hurricane Camille’s strength at its catastrophic landfall in 1969. The Category 5 hurricane came ashore along Mississippi’s coast. The storm was blamed for 256 deaths in the U.S. and $1.4 billion in damage at the time. Researchers from the hurricane center and Florida International University re-analyzed original observations from ships, weather stations, coastal radars, reconnaissance planes and satellite imagery. They determined that Camille’s wind strength peaked at 175 mph, not the 190 mph previously recorded. Category 5 hurricanes have maximum sustained winds of 157 mph
or higher.
Traffic rerouted around landslide WOODVILLE — A landslide in northern Wilkinson County has closed a mile of the northbound lane of U.S. Highway 61 indefinitely. The Mississippi Department of Transportation rerouted northbound traffic Tuesday onto the southbound lane in a head-to-head format, changing the four-lane highway into a two-lane configuration. District Engineer Albert White says stability issues deep in the soil caused the slide. He says crews were only able to make short term fixes. Crews built temporary change lanes between the northbound and southbound lanes to allow for the traffic redirection. No injuries or damage to vehicles were reported following the slide. White said road crews are assessing the damage.

School stabbing spree injures 20 BY JOE MANDAK AND KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press
MURRYSVILLE, Pa. — Flailing away with two knives, a 16-yearold boy with a “blank expression” stabbed and slashed 19 students and a police officer in the crowded halls of his suburban Pittsburgh high school Wednesday before an assistant principal tackled him. At least five students were critically wounded, including a boy who was on a ventilator after a knife pierced his liver, missing his heart and aorta by only millimeters, doctors said. The rampage — which came after years in which U.S. schools have geared much of their emergency planning toward mass shootings, not stabbings — set off a screaming stampede, left blood on the floor and walls, and brought teachers rushing to help the victims. The motive was under investigation. Police didn’t immediately release the name of the suspect, who was taken into custody and treated for a minor hand wound. The attack unfolded just minutes before the start of classes at 1,200-student Franklin Regional High School, 15 miles east of Pittsburgh. Police said it was over in just minutes. Witnesses said the boy with the knives at first tackled a freshman and stabbed him in the belly, then got up and ran wildly down the hall, slashing other students. Nate Moore, 15, said he saw the first attack and was going to try to break it up when the boy got up and slashed his face, requiring 11 stitches. “It was really fast. It felt like he hit me with a wet rag because I felt the blood splash on my face. It spurted up on my forehead,” he said. The attacker “had the same expression on his face that he has every day, which was the freakiest part,” Moore said. “He wasn’t saying anything. He didn’t have any anger on his face. It was just a blank expression.” Doctors said they expected all the victims to survive, despite large and deep puncture wounds to the abdomen in some cases. The wounded campus police officer was released.
Authorities credited an assistant principal with subduing the assailant, though they did not describe the end of the attack in detail. Students identified the assistant principal as Sam King. A student, Ian Griffith, said he saw the school police officer confront the student, who then stabbed the officer. King then tackled the boy, Griffith told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. King’s son told The Associated Press that his father was treated at a hospital, though authorities have said he was not wounded by the knife. “He says he’s OK. He’s a tough cookie and sometimes hides things, but I believe he’s OK,” Zack King said. The boy added: “I’m proud of him.” As for what set off the attack, Murrysville Police Chief Thomas Seefeld said investigators were looking into reports of a threatening phone call between the suspect and another student the night before. Seefeld didn’t specify whether the suspect received or made the call. Mia Meixner, 16, said the initial assault touched off a “stampede of kids” yelling, “Run! Get out of here! Someone has a knife!” Michael Float, 18, said he had just gotten to school when he saw “blood all over the floor” and smeared on the wall near the main entrance. Then he saw a wounded student. “He had his shirt pulled up and he was screaming, ‘Help! Help!’” Float said. “He had a stab wound right at the top right of his stomach, blood pouring down.” Float said he saw a teacher applying pressure to the wound of another student. Someone, possibly a student, pulled a fire alarm after seeing some of the stabbings, the police chief said. Although that created chaos, Seefeld said, it emptied out the school more quickly, and “that was a good thing that that was done.” Also, a girl with “an amazing amount of composure” applied pressure to a schoolmate’s wounds and probably kept the victim from bleeding to death, said Dr. Mark Rubino at Forbes Regional Medical Center.

Cochran runs ads against ‘powerful interests’ Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Outof-state groups on Monday continued pouring money into Mississippi’s Republican primary, criticizing Sen. Thad Cochran for staying in office too long. The six-term lawmaker responded with his own ads against challenger Chris McDaniel. The new wave of ads suggest Cochran could face trouble in his June 3 primary, and that McDaniel, a state senator, may be emerging as the best shot for tea partyaligned groups to unseat an incumbent Republican in a primary this year. Cochran, who hasn’t faced a real campaign in decades, recently has started work-
ing to defend his seat and his latest ad is his first negative spot of this election. “Chris McDaniel is backed by powerful interests that Gov. Haley Barbour calls ‘out-of-state phonies,’” a narrator says in Cochran’s ad. “If Chris McDaniel won’t do anything for Mississippi, why should Mississippians do anything for Chris McDaniel?” That line of criticism borrows from comments McDaniel made at the University of Mississippi in February: “I’m not going to do anything for you. I’m going to get the government off your back, then I’m going to let you do it for yourself.” Mississippi consistently

receives more federal dollars from Washington than it pays in taxes. So McDaniel quickly tried to back away from that rhetoric promising little government help for Mississippi voters. To help McDaniel, Senate Conservatives Action announced ads that were to start running Tuesday. Those ads quote McDaniel promising to eliminate the United States’ debt and repeal Democrats’ national health care law, which he calls “Obamacare.” And separate 30-second ads from the anti-tax Club for Growth link Cochran to former President Jimmy Carter, noting the lawmaker voted to help create the modern De-
partment of Education. The ad also says Cochran voted to help George H.W. Bush break his “no-newtaxes” pledge. And the ad also features criticism for voting to increase the nation’s borrowing limit. All are moves that tea party Republicans see as unacceptable. “Five decades in Washington is enough,” the Club for Growth narrator says. Taken together, the ads suggest the 76-year-old Cochran could be in trouble as he seeks a seventh term. Ads from Senate Conservatives Action, the super PAC of the Senate Conservatives Fund, and the Club for Growth are on television across the state.

Noah flooded with unnecessary additions Noah, PG-13, **1/2, Russell Crowe as Noah, Jennifer Connelly as Naaneh , Ray Winstone as Tubal-Cain, Anthony Hopkins as Methuselah. Paramount Pictures. Director Darren Aronofsky. Length: 138 minutes. In this film the audience will see a story with Terry lots of Biblical Burns characters. The question remains Movie Critic — How much accuracy is in the story? From what I know of the Bible a tremendous amount of liberties were taken in this movie. I have viewed three movies about Christianity and the Bible in the last few weeks. I certainly believed the last two were very accurate. However, “Noah� decided to take a great deal of liberties. I know Hollywood must
have lots of special effects and over the top action to bring in the audience. Noah goes over the top. Movie studios seem to want lots of exploitation in order to make a large profit and entertain those who must have action, video games, facebook, twitter, etc. Why not just read the Bible? “Noah� has special effects that last way too long – not to mention the story could have been told without so much fighting, killing, and some of the extraordinary visual effects. Sometimes just a great story produces more results than battles and special effects. I am definitely not a scholar of the Bible, but I do know some of what the Bible is trying to teach us. However, characters like “The Watchers� gave me a shocker from out of the clear blue. I thought the studio may have added some outtakes from “The Transformers.� The Watchers
purpose was to stop evil, and they disobeyed. They were punished when God turned them into rock and mud for their disrobement. The movie did demonstrate the evil that was taking place on earth which was the reason to start over and begin the world anew. We also meet Methuselah who was Noah’s Grandfather. He was 969 years old and Noah was 600 years old. One (of the several items in the movie I did not fully understand) was Methuselah really liked berries. I guess it had to be berries, because berries were about all that was left to eat. Noah is summoned by God to build an ark, because God was going to flood the earth and destroy the evil. Water cleanses and fire destroys. God wanted to cleanse the earth and destroy all the evil, so man could start again. Again, the movie took lots of
liberties, but it had to be an evil time for God to decide it was time to start all over. A great deal of the movie was interesting. If the “over-thetop� special effects had been left out, and the extra decisions of adding material that did not seem to shape the story, it would have been much better. I must say that the theater was about half filled, and for over two hours the audience did not seem to be bored. I just prefer that the story stick to the Bible. I know there is not that much detail in the Bible about he flood, but I would have preferred the story to be more authentic. Now, we do not have a great deal of information about all the details of the flood. The most important part should be why God decided to send the flood upon the earth, and why it was important to eliminate the evil. However, he promised not to send a flood like that again. The movie did show why evil
continued on earth, but the studio took lots of liberties in the story, that I do not remember or could find in the Bible. It was just too many man made scripts. It did show that Noah was tough enough, sufficiently strong, and capable of being chosen by God to build the ark and do what was necessary. This is the third film about the Bible and Christianity in the last few weeks. Another movie about the Bible is set for later this year. The movie is “Exodus.� (Terry Burns is technology coordinator for the McNairy County School System. A life-long movie buff, he can be contacted by email at burns984@bellsouth.net.

Discouragement Outlook determines success in life is tool of the devil BY JIMMY C. REED Columnist
When teaching me life lessons, my boyhood best friend and mentor, Jaybird, used conundrums so effectively that, once solved, the lessons were indelibly imprinted in my mind, which was the case when he told me about one of the devil’s most useful tools: discouragement. The old black man explained that Satan had updated some of his tools and was auctioning off the out-of-date versions, among them The Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, Avarice, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Wrath, and Sloth. The sale was a great success. Wealthy bidders were willing to go to any length to get the tools, and offered huge amounts of money for them, knowing they would be extremely useful when dealing dishonestly with other people. “But,â€? Jaybird said, “dey wuz one tool — discouragement — that Satan wouldn’t sell, and some of de sho-nuff rich folks wanted to know why.â€? “It’s a tool that never needs updating,â€? Satan told them. “I can depend on it to serve my purposes almost every time. No tool works better for prying open human hearts, and when I get in, I can do just about anything I want to with that heart.â€? Discouragement was one of Jaybird’s favorite techniques. His riddles often caused me to rack my brain, give up, and let discouragement sink in. In time, he’d explain, but only after he knew the solution I wanted to obtain so badly would become a permanent part of the guidelines for life that he was instilling in me. One day, when I asked him if he was afraid of dying, he put the technique to work. “Ain’t nothing to dying ‌ once you git de hang o’ it,â€? he answered.

“That’s stupid,â€? I retorted. “How can you get the hang of something you will do only one time?â€? “Ain’t nothing to dying ‌ once you git de hang o’ it,â€? he mumbled again. Whereas Satan uses discouragement for destructive purposes, Jaybird used it constructively. In his own unique way, he was teaching me not to give up when striving to attain worthy goals. As a college teacher, I sometimes utilize a “can’t doâ€? ruse to generate a “can doâ€? mindset among students. The strategy involves presenting a challenge in such a way that students are determined to overcome it; then I orchestrate their efforts to obtain the solution. If I am successful, I teach them what Jaybird taught me: One must never let discouragement be a deterrent to overcoming difficulties encountered on the road to achievement, and that life is an interminable problemsolving process in which discouragement must be overcome constantly. The more it is overcome, the less of an impediment it becomes. Experience in defeating Satan’s tool leads to losses for him and victories for humankind. Looking at me agonizing in discouragement, Jaybird chuckled, patted me on the head, and said, “Boy, what I want you to see is, once you git de hang o’ it, dey ain’t nuttin’ to livin’. All you got to do is overcome de devil’s wicked tool: discouragement.â€?

Your outlook determines your mood as well as what you attract. Two people can face the exact same circumstances and yet one may be happy while the other is consistently upset. Their outlook is what makes the Bryan difference. Golden You can test your Dare to Live Without Limits outlook by getting in touch with your emotional state. How do you feel most of the time? Do you tend to be happy and upbeat or are you usually stressed and frustrated? Do you find solutions for the problems you encounter or do you find problems everywhere you look. Your outlook affects your perception which in turn defines your reality. If you want to improve how you feel and how you deal with your life, you have to conduct an honest self-assessment and then make any necessary adjustments. Making excuses for your situation inhibits you from taking correc-
tive action. Regardless of what has happened to you or why, it’s your response that determines your future. Learn from the past and then determine where you want to go from where you are now. You can’t control other people but you do have total control over your outlook. Thinking like a victim works against you as well. People with a victim mentality believe they have no control over their life. They are convinced that all they can do is wait for circumstances to change. This leads to constant stress, frustration, and disappointment. The first adjustment to make to your outlook is the recognition of the power you have over your life’s direction. This step precedes any positive changes. Eliminate all excuses. End the victim mentality. Look in the mirror to see who is in control. Adjusting your outlook doesn’t involve changing anyone else’s. Trying to control or change another person is a futile endeavor as well as a source of great stress. All you have control over is

for. These people can have 10 positive events and one problem and they will fixate on the problem. They get so stuck that they don’t enjoy the good things that happen. Here are some tips for adjusting to a positive outlook. Take responsibility for your life. Appreciate all of your blessings. Constantly maintain an attitude of gratitude. Recognize that every problem has a solution. Take action for any situation you can influence. Let go of circumstances outside your control. Make a commitment to always make the best of whatever you encounter. Adjusting your outlook doesn’t take a lot of effort. Ironically, it requires less energy to remain positive than to be constantly upset. Your world is what you make it. Adjust your outlook so you appreciate all of the good surrounding you.

“Come Out of Darkness� By Mike Swims
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.�-Matthew 28:18-20 He lived some 2,400 years ago in a cave with others. They were slaves chained to the floor of the cave, forced to face a wall. Only the dimmest of light emanated from a fire burning behind him. The cave was ruled by the darkness. As the darkness crushed everything else around him, it couldn’t crush his instinct of hope. He decided that if there was any chance to escape from this dark cave, he would take it. When opportunity presented itself, the slave made his move. He was set free. The slave left the cave and hoped for something beautiful. As he came out of the cave, he stepped out of darkness and into the sun and it overwhelmed him! The slave knew that the other cave dwellers needed to know about the glory of the sun, and he was determined to share the good news with them. However, as he began teaching, the other cave dwellers could not see past their own misery to believe in such a thing. They immediately rejected the slave’s message as too good to be true. They were so used to being in darkness that they were unable to see the hope that was before them.

your own outlook. There will always be people you don’t agree with, who treat you poorly, and who are rude and inconsiderate. Regardless of their behavior, you determine your outlook. You don’t want to give others the power to control your emotions. Getting physically or emotionally sick over other people’s behavior is a waste. They won’t change and you will suffer. Circumstances fall into two basic categories: those situations you can influence and those you have no control over. Accurately determining which category you are dealing with is important. You want to take the appropriate action for situations you can influence and let go of those you have no control over. Doing the opposite is characteristic of people with a negative outlook. They put their energy into worrying about things they have no control over while ignoring those things they do have control over. This leads to a fixation on problems while ignoring all of the good things one should be thankful

We are, in a figurative sense, this former slave. Or we should be. We were once in bondage to darkness that is a life without Christ. However, due to God’s grace through Jesus, we are released from our cave. This slave found his glory in the sun, but we find our glory in God’s Son. This is the message Paul conveys in Romans 5:1-6. And when we are released, we see the world through this light and decide that it’s worth sharing with others. This is why we obey the commands of Christ in Matthew 28:18-20 to “go and teach all nations.�

Though this story was written some 2,400 years ago by Plato in his “Allegory of the Cave�, we can learn from it today. The slave was willing to return back to the darkness of the cave in hopes of sharing “the Good News� with those still enslaved, and Christ called us to do likewise.

Fewer warning bells the home decor company reports its results on Thursday. This earnings season, for each company that has offered a better-thanexpected profit forecast, 2.3 companies have issued a profit warning. That may sound discouraging, but it’s marginally below the 15-year average of 2.4. In the fourth-quarter of 2013, eight companies made such warnings for every positive announcement. To be sure, analysts are forecasting just 0.2 percent growth in earnings per share for companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, compared with a year ago. Besides the bad winter weather, analysts say the stronger dollar also hurt revenue for companies that do business abroad.
Investors are breathing a bit easier as first-quarter earnings season gets underway. Unlike the recent past, they haven’t had to absorb a barrage of warnings from companies that will fall short of analysts’ expectations. Instead, the bad news is on pace with the historical average. Companies regularly offer sneak previews on their earnings announcements, and the bad news tends to outweigh the good. Pier 1 Imports, for example, said in late February that bad winter weather was keeping customers away and that it expected to earn up to 41 cents per share in the quarter that just ended. Analysts at the time were forecasting 50 cents. The final tally will be in when

Ally’s IPO
Spotlight on Rite Aid
Investors could get a chance to buy shares in Ally Financial as early as today. That’s when the global auto finance company and former unit of General Motors is expected to make its market debut. Ally’s shares have priced between $25 and $28 each. Uncle Sam will be among the sellers. The U.S. government owns stock in Ally, which received a $17.2 billion bailout during the financial crisis.
Wall Street predicts that Rite Aid made a profit for the fiscal fourth quarter. It would be the drugstore chain’s sixth consecutive quarter in the black. Financial analysts expect Rite Aid will report today that earnings declined from a year ago. The company lowered its 2014 earnings forecast in December, citing drug cost increases and lower profits from new generic drugs.

Dear Annie: My husband and I live in Minnesota. His 78-year-old stepbrother lives by himself in Florida. “Horace” has a part-time job and goes to church regularly, but otherwise sticks to himself. He has only a nodding acquaintance with the neighbors. We are his only family. We are the ones who initiate phone calls and send cards on holidays. He never calls us. We used to email, but he stopped using his computer. Horace is healthy, but I worry so much about what will happen to him when his health declines. He has no one nearby who can help. If he became incapacitated or died suddenly, we’d be completely in the dark as to how to proceed with his financial affairs. He did give us a copy of his living will, and we know where his burial plot is, but that’s it. My husband and his brother both think there’s no sense in worrying about things until they happen. But by then, it will be too late. I don’t know how to approach Horace about making plans for the inevitable. I once asked him to consider moving to Minnesota, but he didn’t respond, and besides, I doubt he’d actually come back to the cold after all this time. My husband won’t be retiring for another eight years, so
Annie’s Mailbox it’s not as if we can take off and visit whenever. Where can we turn for help? — Losing Sleep in Minnesota Dear Losing: You are kind to worry about Horace and smart to plan ahead, but there’s only so much you can do without his cooperation. Ask Horace whether he’d mind if you spoke to his neighbors to get their phone numbers and email addresses so you can contact them if he becomes unreachable. Perhaps Horace would allow you to make a copy of his house key in case of emergency. Visit his church and find out whether there is a program to check on the members who live alone. Also suggest to Horace that he leave financial information with his banker or lawyer. And should Horace become ill or require care, you could contact Eldercare Locator (1-800-677-1116; eldercare.gov) or ask about hiring a geriatric care manager (caremanager.org) to handle the details.
Dear Annie: Can I make a suggestion for people who are downsizing or for any other reason don’t want to keep old items around? Please tell them to consider photographing these things. That way, they still have a visual record but can discard the actual item. They also can scan these photographs and keep digital records. This works particularly well if the items are pictures. They can simply scan them into their computer and give copies to as many people as might be interested. The photos can be printed out if you want or put into digital photo frames. I love watching pictures of my past pop up and cycle through on these frames. And getting rid of clutter was an added benefit. — Getting Organized for Retirement Dear Organized: Folks often think they need to keep originals of everything, but unless your items are historically valuable and worth professional preservation, those family photographs will fade and old letters will disintegrate. Keeping digitized records is a good idea, although people should create a backup copy (whether on a flash drive, CD or cloud).

Man is patient as independent woman struggles with intimacy DEAR ABBY: I’m a 27-yearold woman who has never had a boyfriend or been kissed. I was never interested in romance or having a significant other. I felt strong being independent and taking care of myself. Now that I have a degree, a career and a house, I feel ready to try to let a man into my life. I met a really nice guy a month ago. “Brian” and I have gone out several times and have a lot in common. He’s a gentleman, and he says he’s willing to wait for me. I have been having a difficult time letting myself be physical with him. Even hugging is uncomfortable for me. I know it’s because I have been a shy loner my whole life and I’m unaccustomed to being close to people. Even though Brian says he’ll be patient, I can sense his frustration. Physical closeness should come easily if you like and are attracted to someone. I feel abnormal. I don’t know if I’ll be this way forever or get more comfortable the more I know him. I’m afraid Brian -- and most men -- won’t be willing to wait that long. I’m afraid if I don’t
move faster I’ll lose a great guy and never get another chance. What do you think? Abigail -- BLOCKED Van Buren INDBOISE E A R BLOCKED: Dear Abby Being intimate with someone because you’re afraid you’ll lose him or it will be your last chance is the wrong reason. I think that the sooner you talk with a licensed therapist about your lifelong shyness and discomfort, the quicker you can understand the reasons for it and overcome it. Your doctor should be able to refer you to someone. If Brian is the right man for you, he will stand by you. But if he doesn’t, you’ll be able to more easily relate to someone else. DEAR ABBY: I am planning my wedding in the fall. My fiance and I are paying for the wedding and reception. I have worked at my job for a year, and I haven’t always been treated well by a few
co-workers. I am reluctant to invite these people because I’m worried about the repercussions if I do. I know they will judge every aspect because they did it to another co-worker. I like a few of the people I work with, but I don’t know if I can invite only them. What do I do? -- WEDDING PLANNER IN OMAHA DEAR WEDDING PLANNER: What you do is invite only those people you truly want to attend your wedding. It’s not necessary to apologize for it or to explain why. If you are put on the spot and feel you must give a reason, say that your guest list is limited because of financial constraints. It’s far more tactful than saying they are being excluded because they are rude, awful people, and you don’t want them anywhere near you on such an important occasion. 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). People who don’t know how to have fun by themselves don’t know how to have fun with others. You’ll delight in your time alone and later bring a playful sensibility to your social interactions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Are you ready to leap, lunge or duck? Being able to react with a range of motion, both literally and figuratively, will give you an advantage on this fast-paced day. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You long for a time when you can say that everything you own is in good working order and is in its proper place. Such a high level of organization may or may not happen, and luckily your success does not depend on this. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When your subject knows what you want and is resistant to giving it to you, this person has yet to understand the personal benefit of saying yes (if indeed there is one). Point the way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Spell out what you want to do. Communicate slowly and clearly, assuming nothing. Do not execute your plan until the others involved know and understand what your plan is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Where others see a lost cause, you see the potential for a real winner. Though there are many steps involved in taking an endeavor from “zero” to “hero,” if it’s a labor of love, it will be a joy and not a long, arduous process. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll work efficiently to get it done, get it right and get it out. Though you may not care who gets the credit, taking your fair share of this will be important to your future work. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are times when you’ve craved the cozy comfort of a familiar relationship, but today you’ll set your sights on something unexpected, interesting and even a little dangerous.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You only have to talk with someone for a few minutes to understand where the person is coming from. That’s why it drives you crazy when a loved one doesn’t seem to have the same “people smarts.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re unsure whether the other party is thinking along the same lines as you or will be amenable to your suggestions. Take the risk and find out. Say what you plan to do and see what happens. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Building rapport will be tricky business, but if you do it well, you’ll get a prize. Hint: It doesn’t always serve you to express your preferences and dislikes to those who may not agree with them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Purpose and tenacity are your cosmic gifts, but they come with a caveat: You must use them on your own behalf, or you will later wonder why on earth you didn’t.

Opening Day Notes
Chris Colabello, Minnesota The Twins’ utilityman hit safely in every game last week, batting .391 with 11 RBIs in only six games. He was 4-for-10 with runners in scoring position with three doubles, plating 10 of his 11 ribbies. He also homered once.
Scott Feldman, Houston Chris Sale of the White Sox and Felix Hernandez deserve some mention, but Feldman was terrific for a team starved for major league talent. Feldman won both of his starts and allowed five hits and four walks in 13.2 innings. He tossed 6.2 shutout innings over the Yankees and followed that with seven strong frames in a win over the Angels.
Emilio Bonifacio, Chicago The speedster Bonifacio was released by the Kansas City Royals in mid-February, but made the Cubs’ team as a non-roster invitee during the spring. And after two games, the versatile switch-hitter had nine hits. A day later, he added two more and ended the week 14-for28 with a league-leading four stolen bases. He made two starts at second, four in center and finished up a 16-inning game at shortstop.
Yovani Gallardo, Milwaukee The Brewers’ ace established a tone that Milwaukee hopes continues all season. He logged six strong innings in the season opener against Atlanta, holding the Braves to just four hits and no runs. He followed that performance with 6.2 shutout innings against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Carlos Correa, SS, Houston The first pick in the 2012 draft is still developing at the plate, but he has eight hits, including a double and homer, in his first four games this season at High-A Lancaster. The Astros fully expect him to be the franchise’s cornerstone beginning in 2016.
Sonny Gray
On Opening Day, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves wastes no time tying the great Babe Ruth with 714 home runs. In the top of the first with two runners aboard, Aaron takes Jack Billingham of the Reds deep for a three-run shot. The Reds rebound to win 7-6 on a wild pitch in the 11th inning.
April 4, 1997 Bartolo Colon makes his major league debut with the Cleveland Indians at Anaheim. The portly righthander gives up a leadoff single to Darin Erstad and strikes out Jim Edmonds for his first out. Colon leaves after five innings with the score tied at 4-4. Current Nationals manager Matt Williams was Cleveland’s third baseman for Colon’s debut.
Won four of five; 3-0 in one-run games. Key rematch with Atlanta this weekend. Mounting injuries to pitching staff making club nervous. Offense slow to come around, hitting .186 with a .264 OBP. 4-0 when scoring three runs or more. Only team with more than an error per game. Sonny Gray pitching like an ace. World Series ring celebration dampened by sweep. Only two quality starts in seven games. Bullpen owns three of Bucs’ four wins. Landed first blow in NL East by taking two of three at Wash. So far, so good for closer David Robertson. Pitching, not hitting, carrying M’s so far. Pitchers batting .214, rest of team .210. Held Red Sox to .202 avg. in sweep at Fenway Park. Only team not to homer in the first week. Fewer than 15,000 fans showed for each weekend game. Mark Trumbo has been everything the D-backs imagined. Bullpen (7.27 ERA) blowing up again. It’s early, but opponents are lighting up Baltimore pitching. Pitching, defense and hitting all came together for a week. Chase Utley off to a hot start. New York hitters out of the gate at .178. Starters ERA is 5.74, relievers, 6.85. How are they .500? 2-3 in games decided by two runs or less. Rough start at Miami, but rebounded at home vs. D-backs. Outhit by opponents .279 to .216. Opened season with two wins over Yankees. Seven extra-base hits in six games. Not good. Chicagoans love saying “Emilio Bonifacio” right now.
Boston at New York Yankees It’s that time of year again when the East Coast thinks the whole baseball world stops. Folks in fly-over land really don’t care, but every SoxYankees series this season will be heightened by two things: 1) It’s Derek Jeter’s final lap through Boston; and 2) Jacoby Ellsbury bolted Boston for New York over the offseason. Washington at Atlanta The two NL East competitors began their 2014 rivalry with a bang this season. Atlanta squeaked out a pair of games in Washington before the Nats were able to avoid the sweep on Sunday. The two are back at it this weekend in Atlanta. The pitching matchup to watch happens Friday with Stephen Strasburg and Julio Teheran facing off. Oakland at Seattle The Mariners anted up big time over the winter with the signing of Robinson Cano. Seattle has the pitching to compete with two-time defending AL West champion Oakland. It will be worth staying up late Friday night to watch Sonny Gray and Felix Hernandez, two of the best arms in the American League. Tampa Bay at Cincinnati Fans of pitching duels, low-scoring, strategy-intense games should enjoy this interleague matchup. Aces David Price and Johnny Cueto will get the festivities underway on Friday. Alex Cobb and Tony Cingrani will pitch on Saturday, followed by Matt Moore and Homer Bailey in the finale.
Unsung Players Step Up Early Every year, players come out of nowhere to make an impact on the season. Sometimes it’s players who have labored in the minors, other times it’s journeymen players who may be getting their first real opportunities to play everyday. It could be players returning from serious injuries sooner than expected, or players returning from retirement or from playing overseas. Early this season, there have been four players contributing to their teams’ success that we didn’t see coming. Emilio Bonifacio is no stranger to fans across baseball, but he was released by the Royals in February, just prior to the start of spring training, and five days later signed a minor league contract with the Cubs in hopes of making the team as a reserve. Aaron Harang spent spring training as a non-roster player trying to make the Cleveland Indians’ staff. He was released a week before Opening Day and caught on with the injury-riddled Braves. Casey McGehee and Nyjer Morgan spent the 2013 season overseas in Japan. Both returned stateside this winter determined to prove they belonged in the majors. It didn’t take Bonifacio long to make an impact for the Cubs. After four hits on Opening Day, he added five more the following night and kept hitting. With tremendous speed, he can be an offensive spark. He already has four stolen bases in the first six games and play anywhere in the infield or outfield. With the Cubs likely not to be in the pennant race, Bonifacio could prove to be a valuable trading chip later in the season. But as of now, he’s cemented as the Cubs’ leadoff hitter whether playing center field, second base or filling in at short or third. Harang was a part of the Cincinnati Reds’ rotation from 2004-10, posting a 71-77 record with a 4.24 ERA. From 2005-07, he averaged 226 innings per

season with his best year coming in 2006. That season he led the NL with 16 wins and 216 strikeouts, finishing fourth in the Cy Young voting. Since that time, he’s found his niche as little more than an innings eater, but has proven to be durable. After going 5-12 with a 5.40 ERA last season in 26 starts with Seattle and the Mets, he found himself looking for a job all winter. Season-ending injuries to Braves’ starters Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy opened an opportunity in Atlanta. Manager Fredi Gonzalez handed Harang the ball for the third game, and the veteran righthander responded with a gem. He tossed 6.2 scoreless innings, giving up two singles and a walk in the
Braves’ 1-0 win at Milwaukee. McGehee was a 10th-round draft pick by the Cubs in 2003, made his debut with Chicago in 2008, then claimed on waivers by Milwaukee. He was the Brewers’ everyday third baseman in 2010-11. He put together his best season in 2010 with 38 doubles, 23 homers and 104 RBIs. After hitting a combined .217 with Pittsburgh and the Yankees in 2012, he didn’t find any suitors over the winter and spent last season with Rakuten in Japan. There, he played alongside former MLB star Andruw Jones and current Yankees rookie Masahiro Tanaka, where he won a champi-
onship. He signed with Miami for $1.1 million and a chance to revive his MLB career. In the first week, he batted .375, including four doubles and 10 RBIs in seven games. The fleet-footed Morgan stole 76 bases for the Pirates and Nationals in 2009-10. After scuffling with the Brewers for a few seasons, he also found himself in Japan last year. The Indians offered him a minor league deal in January and an opportunity to make the team. Manager Terry Francona likes what Morgan brings in terms of speed and energy. In five games this season, he’s batted .308 with six walks, giving him a .500 OBP.
Career starts by the Cincinnati Reds’ lefthander Tony Cingrani. He has never allowed more than five hits in a start, the only pitcher in more than a century with a streak that long. Different shortstops to start on Opening Day for St. Louis in the last eight years. Opening Day first basemen in the 22-year history of the Colorado Rockies. Last week, Justin Morneau became the third, replacing Todd Helton, who retired at the end of 2013 after making 16 Opening Day starts for the Rockies. Andres Galarraga held the position for the first five years. Consecutive Opening Day starts for Yadier Molina of the St. Louis Cardinals. He became the seventh Cardinal to make 10 straight Opening Day starts for the team since World War II. Scoreless innings for the Cincinnati Reds’ offense to begin the season, the longest such streak to begin a campaign in franchise history.

Philadelphia’s Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins recently made starts in their seventh Opening Day together on the Phillies’ infield. Can you name the only third baseman to make two starts on Opening Day with the three veterans?
TRIVIA ANSWER: Pedro Feliz was the Phillies’ Opening Day third baseman in 2008-09.
• Lefthander Gio Gonzalez of the Washington Nationals has now homered in three consecutive seasons. His last two home runs have come during his first start of the season. For the second year in a row, the Nats’ pitcher has gone deep in the first at-bat of his first start, both coming in the fifth inning. • The Nationals swept the Mets in New York to begin the 2014 season and continue Washington’s thumping of its division rivals. In the recent three-game series, the Nats scored 22 runs and allowed just 17 hits to the Mets. The Nationals now have a seven-game winning streak over New York in which Washington has totaled 53 runs while the Mets have just 51 hits. • The Arizona Diamondbacks have started a different infield quartet every Opening Day of their existence. • The Atlanta Braves started the same foursome in the infield on Opening Day for successive seasons for the first time since 1982-83 when Chris Chambliss, Glenn Hubbard, Rafael Ramirez and Bob Horner started for Atlanta. • Had Daniel Murphy been available and not on paternity leave, this would have been the first time in the Mets’ 54-year history that the club started the same infield on Opening Day three years in a row. • In the last six years, the Mets have started a total of 15 outfielders on Opening Day. Carlos Beltran, Jason Bay and Lucas Duda are the only three of the 15 to have made two starts. • Since Barry Bonds made his last Opening Day start for the Giants in left field in 2007, the Giants have used seven different left fielders on Opening Day. And for the record, the club has also had seven different 2B in those seven seasons.

Rays’ Moore placed on disabled list with elbow injury Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Left-hander Matt Moore has been placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Tampa Bay Rays because of an elbow injury. Moore left in the fifth inning of Monday’s 4-2 loss after feeling discomfort in his elbow while throwing a pitch to Nori Aoki. The Rays were awaiting MRI results. Rays general manager Andrew Friedman said an MRI exam on Tuesday of
Moore’s elbow “is inconclusive” and the All-Star would see Dr. Andrews in the next two days for “a more thorough exam.” “It is our standard practice to have a pitcher go to the DL in these situations,” Friedman said. “He’ll be out 15 days; that’s all we know right now. We don’t know much beyond that. We’ll know more in the next few days. The fact that he feels good is a positive sign.” Moore was 17-4 with a
3.29 ERA last year, when he was on the disabled list from July 31 to Sept. 3 because of a sore elbow. “I would say it’s quite a bit different in how it feels, in how it dangles, with regards to soreness,” Moore said before Tuesday night’s game. “The discomfort is similar. The severity has jumped from what I was feeling. It’s frustrating.” Moore said he realizes surgery is an option. “I would say it’s a pos-
sibility,” Moore said. “I think the procedure they’ll be doing will give a better way to tell the severity. If they had one way to tell, up close, tomorrow will be the way to tell.” Friedman said: “Nothing is ruled out until he has a more thorough exam. “He’ll have his elbow examined and they’ll use a dye and look inside his elbow.. We are waiting with baited breath.” Moore said if surgery is
needed, “the sooner the better.” “I know I’m not having surgery tomorrow,” Moore said. “I’m not going to be stewing over it. It will depend upon the severity. If I can pitch with it, we’ll see. It’ll be a difficult process.” Manager Joe Maddon conceded Moore’s condition was “worse than what we thought before.” “We’ll have further tests with Dr. Andrews and it might end up being better
than we thought,” Maddon said. “We just don’t know. “We’re going to gather info, be patient and make an informed, unemotional decision.” Tampa Bay recalled lefthander Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Durham to fill the roster spot Tuesday. Beliveau has made 23 big league relief appearances, 22 in 2012 with the Chicago Cubs and one in the Rays’ final game last season.

Anticipation, mystery at August BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — A quick stroll across the manicured landscape of Augusta National afforded a glimpse of why this Masters is so hard to figure out. On the putting green in a quiet moment of practice was 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, one of a record 24 newcomers who has every reason to believe he can win. On the golf course for the final day of practice was Webb Simpson, a former U.S. Open champion and one of 21 players who have captured the last 24 majors. And under the oak tree outside the clubhouse was Miguel Angel Jimenez, the 50-year-old Spaniard trying to make sense of it all.
He recalled his first Masters in 1995, when Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal shared secrets to Augusta National, such as keeping the ball in the right spots on the green and “to realize here that the target is not the hole.” “The more you play, the more you like, no?” Jimenez said as he leaned against his golf bag, looking relaxed as ever behind his aviator sunglasses. But as he considered the rookies — Spieth and Patrick Reed, Harris English and Jimmy Walker — he dismissed the notion that experi-
ence was required for a green jacket. “There are 24 guys here for the first time,” he said. “But there’s a reason they are here, no?” Nowhere to be found, of course, was Tiger Woods. Out of golf until the summer because of back surgery, out of the Masters for the first time in his career, the show goes on. “Well, we miss Tiger, as does the entire golf world,” Masters chairman Billy Payne said. “He is always a threat to make a run and do well and win here at Augusta National. ... Nevertheless, this is the Masters. This is what we hope is the best tournament in the world, one of the greatest sporting events. And I think we will have a very impressive
audience and have another great champion to crown this year.” The course closed for practice Wednesday afternoon, and a stream of fans made their way over to the Par 3 Tournament, where occasional cheers broke the silence. It was a precursor of what was sure to follow over the next four days at a major that rarely fails to deliver drama. Even without Woods. “It’s probably the most anticipated week of the year,” Rory McIlroy said. “It’s been eight months since we’ve had a major. It’s Augusta. ... There’s a lot of guys that seem like once they drive up Magnolia Lane here, something lights up inside them.” Please see MASTERS | 13
Green jacket revered ... normally
Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The second season of vintage-era baseball in Tennessee is opening this weekend with a double-header in Knoxville. A statement from the Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball says players will observe the rules and customs that the game had in the 1860s, including playing barehanded. The Knoxville News Sentinel reports the event will mark the first vintagestyle baseball games in the area in decades. During a recent scrimmage game, players used 19th century uniforms, wooden bats and balls covered and stitched from one piece of leather. Rules included pitchers throwing underhanded, no balls or strikes being called and fielders being able to catch the ball after one bounce for an out. The sport was also known as base ball, with two words, instead of baseball. “It’s like re-enacting but without knowing the outcome,” joked Adam Alfrey, the captain of the Knoxville Holstons, which will take on the Dry Town Boys of Roane County in the double-header. Alfrey, a curator at the East Tennessee History Center, said he helped get the local teams organized after hearing about a couple of teams had been formed in the Nashville area last year. Holston player Jonathan Jennings said he is enjoying the sport so far. “I like this where it’s out here to have fun, and not argue and yell at each other,” said Holston player Jonathan Jennings. Alfrey says the focus is on history and sports. “We are really about telling the story of vintage baseball,” Alfrey said. “If we play a good game, that is all the better.”
UMass basketball player announces he’s gay on ESPN Associated Press
AMHERST, Mass. — UMass guard Derrick Gordon has become the first openly gay player in Division I men’s basketball. Gordon made the announcement in interviews with ESPN and Outsports on Wednesday. Gordon said he gained confidence by seeing an NBA team sign Jason Collins, who became the league’s first openly gay player when he joined the Brooklyn Nets this season. “I want to be myself,” Gordon said in the interview televised on ESPN. “I don’t want to hide and be someone I’m not.” The sophomore was the Minutemen’s fourth-leading scorer with 9.4 points per game last season, when UMass reached the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1998. A transfer from Western Kentucky, Gordon played at high school powerhouse St. Patrick in New Jersey. In the Outsports interview, Gordon said he considered quitting basketball last fall and isolated himself from teammates because of teasing. Over the summer, he had “liked” a photo on Instagram of him and his then-boyfriend in front of gay bar. “I just wanted to run and hide somewhere,” he said. “I used to go back to my room and I’d just cry.” Gordon was also inspired by spending time with several gay people in the world of sports in March, according to the Outsports article, and decided to come out to his family and then the Minutemen.
BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The green jacket is one of the most revered symbols in all of sports, right up there with an Olympic gold medal and the Stanley Cup. Yet, even with the strict sense of decorum that is afforded the prized garment awarded every Masters champion, it occasionally winds up in spots no one would ever expect. Like underneath a garbage bag. Or in Ohio. Yep, an authentic green jacket is on display at a country club in suburban Cleveland — a long, long way from Augusta National. “Believe me, when we’re showing off the club to a
prospective member,” Michael Kernicki, the head golf professional at Canterbury Golf Club, said by phone Wednesday, “and we take them into the Henry Picard Lounge, they’re like, ‘Did I see that right? You’ve got a green jacket?’” Indeed they do, thanks for the descendants of the 1938 Masters champion. Picard’s family donated it to the club when it was designing a room to honor the Hall of Famer who also served as its longtime pro. Rest assured, the folks at Canterbury recognize what a special item they have.
“It’s pretty cool stuff,” Kernicki said. Each Masters champion gets to keep his jacket for a year, but Augusta National expects it to be treated with an ample level of respect during its 365 days away from the club. Just ask 2007 winner Zach Johnson, who committed a couple of faux pas during his tenure as champion. First, not realizing until after his victory that he could take the jacket with him, he wasn’t prepared to transport it. “I have no garment bag,” Johnson recalled. “I’m going to New York at 6 a.m., so I covered it up with a trash bag. I didn’t want to say, ‘Hey, look at the green jacket, me, Mr. Cocky Man.’”
Uh, not good. Then, during media appearances in Times Square, Johnson slipped on the green jacket while wearing a pair of jeans. Apparently, that didn’t go over well back in Augusta, either. “That’s a no-no on the bag, a no-no on the jeans,” Johnson said, noting that when Trevor Immelman won the Masters the following year, he received “this nice, embroidered garment bag” — and, no doubt, a notso-gentle nudge from the powers-that-be to wear the jacket with a proper pair of trousers. The green jacket accompanied Immelman during appearances in China and Please see JACKET | 13
Vols’ Lane still growing through injury BY STEVE MEGARGEE Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The cast on Marlin Lane’s left hand symbolizes how much the Tennessee running back has grown up over the last year. This time a year ago, Lane was missing the latter part of spring practice for disciplinary reasons. Now he’s earning raves from the same coaching staff that had punished him a year earlier. Lane has won respect for continuing to practice despite injuring his hand last month. Tennessee coach Butch Jones
says Lane “has been a warrior for us.” “I’ve always said if there’s nothing broken in my legs that’s going to stop me from running, I’m going to keep playing,” Lane said. Lane’s presence provides senior leadership for a team lacking upperclassmen at the skill positions. Lane has rushed for 1,192 yards and six touchdowns over the last two seasons and averaged at least 5.3 yards per carry each of those years. The Volunteers are counting on Lane to help replace Rajion Neal, who rushed for a team-high 1,124
yards and 12 touchdowns last season. “Marlin Lane has been a model of consistency. ... He’s focused like a senior should (be) in our football program,” Jones said. He’s come a long way over the last 12 months. Tennessee running backs coach Robert Gillespie said he noticed the difference in Lane as soon as last season ended. Gillespie said he spoke with Lane and pointed to the banners in Tennessee’s indoor practice facility that signify each of the Vols’ division and conference titles.
Gillespie noted that Tennessee hadn’t put up a banner since its 2007 Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title. Gillespie told Lane to envision a future scenario in which he brings his children back to campus and they see those banners and ask when he played. Gillespie then asked Lane what kind of mark he wanted to leave on the program. “I think those are the conversations we’ve had that he understands, ‘Right now, my time is coming to an end.

Stewart sees more titles for UConn ahead BY DOUG FEINBERG Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Geno Auriemma breezed past Pat Summitt by winning his record ninth championship. With sensational sophomore Breanna Stewart back at UConn for two more seasons, winning a 10th or 11th title is a real possibility. That would move Auriemma and Connecticut past UCLA men’s coach John Wooden for the most in all of
college basketball. Auriemma downplayed comparisons to Wooden when the Huskies broke UCLA’s 88-game winning streak a few years ago. They will only resurface again with Auriemma one title behind the Wizard of Westwood. Like Wooden, Auriemma has made a habit of replacing one superstar with another. First it was Rebecca Lobo, then Diana Taurasi, who won three straight championships
from 2002-04. Maya Moore won back-to-back titles, and now there’s Stewart. The 6-foot-4 wing player, who became only the third sophomore to win Associated Press player of the year honors last weekend, won two titles in her first two years, earning most outstanding player honors at the Final Four both times. She has a chance to be the winningest women’s college player ever. “Obviously I am going to
try and drag it out as long as I can and enjoy this moment,” Stewart said. “But when it is time to get back to business, I’m going to go after No. 3.” Stewart is nearly impossible to guard. She can score from anywhere on the court, shooting 3s, driving to the basket, or converting acrobatic layups. She came into UConn with a lot of hype as the best high school player and has lived up to it.
Braun, Cruz, Peralta move on after Biogenesis case BY DAVID GINSBURG Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Nelson Cruz was branded a cheater and punished accordingly. As he waited to be introduced on his first opening day in Baltimore, the former All-Star wondered how Orioles fans would react in the aftermath of the 50game suspension he received last year for using performance-enhancing drugs. “As a new player, you don’t know what to expect,” Cruz said. “You hope for the best.” He couldn’t have asked for more. The sellout crowd collectively yelled, “Cruuuuuuze!” as the slugger ran across the orange carpet, and
after Cruz hit the tiebreaking home run to propel Baltimore past the defending champion Boston Red Sox, the chant was even louder. “It was very, very nice to have that kind of reception,” Cruz said. Cruz, Ryan Braun and Jhonny Peralta each served hefty suspensions in 2013 for violations of baseball’s drug agreement following the sport’s investigation of Biogenesis of America, a now-defunct rejuvenation clinic. At home games, it seems all is forgiven. On the road, opposing fans won’t let them forget. Braun responded to jeering Philadelphia fans Tuesday by
hitting three homers and driving in seven runs. “All I can do is focus on things I can control,” Braun said. Aided by the support of his new teammates, Cruz easily made the transition into the next stage of his career after leaving the Texas Rangers for Baltimore. “It was a hard decision. You had a chance to be in one place for a long time,” Cruz said. “But I made the right call. I’m happy I made it.” Braun, who stayed with Milwaukee after a 65-game suspension, was cheered by Brewers fans at the home opener and jeered later that
week in Boston. Peralta, now with St. Louis after serving a 50-game suspension with Detroit, heard boos in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh before getting a warm reception from Cardinals fans in his home debut Monday. “When we’re playing Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, fans are going to talk no matter what,” Peralta said. “But I don’t try to pay attention to people when they say a lot of stuff. I try to play the game and try to forget about the past.” That’s what’s great about baseball, Cruz said. “What you do in the past is over, whether you have good or bad moments,” he said.

That could be Phil Mickelson, who last year won the British Open at age 42 and now has a chance to join Woods and Arnold Palmer with a fourth green jacket.

Rose, however, falls on the side of experience — knowing where to miss, knowing where you can’t afford to miss, where the hole locations tend to be on the contoured greens and using the slope to get the ball close. “Always you can have the unknowns,� he said. “But I would say 15 guys are pretty strong favor-
ites.� Woods has become a polarizing figure in golf, especially at the Masters. Since he last won a green jacket in 2005, only once has Woods finished out of the top six. That’s what made him so compelling at Augusta. And that’s why this Masters seems to lack definition. No one is dominating golf at the moment. Walker has the most PGA Tour wins (three) this season, but this is his first Masters. Scott had a chance to go to No. 1 in the world three weeks ago at Bay Hill, but he lost a three-shot lead in the final round to Matt Every, who had never won in his career. Never has there been this much chatter about Masters rookies. Then again, there has never been this many. And they’re not bashful about their chances. “Doesn’t matter if you’ve played here once or if you’ve played here 50 times,� Reed said. “When it comes down to it, it’s just going to be that whoever is playing the best is going to walk away with the trophy.� So maybe it’s not that hard to figure out, after all.

CONTINUED FROM 12
Japan, where he was amazed by the excitement it generated. In hindsight, he wishes he had taken it to more places, shown it to more people. “It’s a cherished part of our sport, like an Olympic gold medal or the Stanley Cup or the World Cup in soccer,� the South African said. “Not many people get to see it.� But, in keeping with the stuffy traditions of Augusta, the green jacket does not take part in the sort of giddy revelry we’ve come to expect from Lord Stanley’s chalice or even the claret jug, the historic trophy that goes to the winner of the British Open. Both those awards have turned up at some pretty wild parties, even at the bottom of a swimming pool. When Stewart Cink won the British Open, he tweeted a picture the next morning showing the jug next to a regular glass, jokingly asking which he should use to swig some orange juice. If he ever
wins the Masters, we’re guessing he’s not going to pose the green jacket alongside a Georgia Tech jersey and ask which he should wear to the grocery store. “I was told to wear the green jacket in golf-oriented events — my foundation, charity, corporate events, golf clubs,� Johnson said. “Wearing it to Chick-fil-A? Ain’t going to happen.� Augusta National zealously guards its pomp and circumstance more than perhaps any other sports entity, so it’s not surprising that only a handful of green jackets wound up beyond its gates on a permanent basis. One belonged to Gary Player, who won the first of three Masters titles in 1961, took the jacket home to South Africa, and never brought it back. But he promised Masters chairman Clifford Roberts to never wear it in public, a promise that probably wasn’t that tough to keep for someone who prefers wearing black from head to toe.

want to be a guy when I leave here, people miss me when I come back in the building.’� Gillespie said. Lane still faces plenty of competition for carries. Tennessee has added freshman running back Jalen Hurd, who was rated as a five-star recruit by Rivals.com. Tennessee’s backfield also should get a boost from senior Devrin Young, who has returned to the backfield this spring after playing wide receiver
last fall. That may help explain why Lane wanted to keep practicing even after he got hurt. Lane also has a greater sense of urgency now that he’s entering his final season at Tennessee. He’s impressed coaches with his ability to catch the ball and block even with one hand in a cast. “I don’t think it’s slowing me down a bit,� Lane said. Lane says he stayed on campus during the winter holidays to get himself in

Lane says he’s grown from the experience. “The goals I set for this year are just to stay looking forward and never look back,� Lane said. “If I do something wrong, just snap and clear. If I do something good, snap and clear and just move on to the next thing — in life or on the field.�
