Verdung named new street commissioner BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Corinth’s building inspector is moving to the role of street commissioner. The Board of Aldermen on Tuesday in closed session approved the hiring of Philip Verdung to head the street department following the retirement of Jim Bynum, which was announced during Tuesday’s meeting. The board also moved to begin advertising for the open building inspector posi-
tion. City Clerk Vickie Roach said Verdung will continue to fill in as building inspector until a new inspector is on the job. Verdung’s hiring as street commissioner came exactly five years to the day after he was hired as building inspector. Verdung has performed both roles while Bynum has been on leave. In other business: ■ The board accepted 3D Construction’s bid of $7,950
for the final phase of work on the sidewalks project at Corinth National Cemetery. The final phase is for the existing sidewalk on the south side of the cemetery, where 1,160 square feet of old sidewalk will be removed and replaced. The work also includes modifying two driveway crossings to make them wheelchair accessible and an entrance sidewalk to the cemetery office. Phase two is still in progress. Construction Specialists
Group submitted a competing bid of $9,165. ■ In a 5-1 vote, the board approved the purchase of an International truck and an American Road Machinery 30 cubic yard leaf collector from Truck Center of Tupelo at a cost of $157,385. The city is looking at other uses for the truck during the months of the year when the leaf vacuum will not be needed. The leaf vacuum already owned by the city requires three or four people to operate it. The
one purchased Tuesday can be attached to the truck and operated by one person. ■ Aldermen scheduled property cleanup public hearings for 5 p.m. March 5 for the following properties: Lot 6, block 658, Anderson Addition (Leslie); 1101 Philips Street (Charles A. Jackson); and an unspecified lot in the Strickland Addition (Charles A. Jackson). ■ The board approved a plumbing license for Jeremy Fields.

Fire claims Kossuth business BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Fire claimed a Kossuth business early Wednesday afternoon. Mechanic Mike Meeks’ Unique Motorsports was completely destroyed in a fire that started around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. Meeks was just getting back home from a trip to town when he saw the flames coming from his shop. He arrived about five
minutes before the first firefighters arrived, he said. The shop was next to Meeks’ home on County Road 632. He was able to pull his tractor out of the shed and push a 1969 Camaro away from the flames, but the loss was still severe. “There’s a lot of stuff gone. Probably a million dollars worth of stuff burned,” Meeks said. “But there nothing I could do. Just stood back with my hands in my pockets and watched it
burn.” Meeks said he lost around $500,000 worth of tools in the fire, as well as a new Dodge dually, a race car worth $50,000 and an expensive paint booth. Firefighters from Kossuth and Union Center were the first on the scene. Officers from the Alcorn Sheriff’s Department also responded to the fire. As of Wednesday afternoon, firefighters said they had not determined the cause of the blaze.
Jurors heard directly from the victim during the second day of the retrial of a Prentiss County woman accused of killing her mother in 2010. Rebecca Lynn Jones is charged with murder in the death of her mother Jane Jones who was shot twice during an altercation between the two women at the mother’s Prentiss County home in May 2010. Prosecutors played a recording of Jane Jones’ frantic call to 911 in the moments immediately after she was shot. The wounded woman told the 911 dispatcher, “My daughter shot me” and later said her daughter, Becky, shot her twice, in the stomach and arm. Jurors were also given a transcript of the 911 recording to read as they listened to Jane Jones speaking to Prentiss County 911 dispatcher Melissa Hamlin. Hamlin also testified she received no other 911 calls requesting help for Jane Jones, only the call from Jane Jones herself. The state rested its case immediately following the playing of the 911 tape. Prosecutors used a series of
law enforcement and forensic expert witnesses to lay out their case during the second day of the trial. First on the stand was Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department Investigator Roy Ragin, who described arriving at the scene and said there was no sign of a violent struggle in the house. He said he also saw no evidence of any injuries sustained by Rebecca Jones that would indicate a struggle. Defense attorney Rob Laher sharply questioned Ragin on cross examination, and Ragin acknowledged the defendant cooperated with investigators in providing a statement about what happened prior to speaking with an attorney. Ragin however, noted under examination by Assistant District Attorney Josh Wise that Rebecca Jones left the scene of the crime and returned a short time later and there was no evidence she had attempted to seek help for her mother at any time after the shooting. Laher said there was no way Ragin could have known the normal condition of the home and had him describe the space in the house indicating there was room for them to have grappled for the gun without disturbing Please see TRIAL | 2

CT-A to present ‘The House at Pooh Corner’ BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
“The House at Pooh Corner” is coming to the Crossroads Playhouse this weekend. Adapted from A.A. Milne’s book of the same name, “The House at Pooh Corner” tells the story of how Winnie-thePooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet and other beloved characters try to prevent their owner, Christopher Robin, from going away to school. Over the course of the story they learn a valuable lesson:
Friends take care of each other. “I loved this script from the first time I read it. ‘The House at Pooh Corner’ speaks to so many truisms about growing up,” said Crossroads TheatreArts Technical Director David Maxedon. “It is both a story for the ages and for all ages.

of not being in favor of obtaining a license. “I don't feel comfortable with the Arena serving liquor,” said vice chairman Alva Dalton. “It's not something we were pursuing prior to the vote on liquor … why would we pursue it now?” City voters approved liquor and wine sales by a 2-1 margin in a December special election. The sale of alcoholic beverages by permitted retailers became legal on Feb. 1. “This is a city-county building and county voters showed they don't want it by voting it down … I think we should take a look at that, too,” said board member Sam Tull. “We have enough problems without getting into liquor.” The desire of some private parties held at the facility to serve liquor brought up the discussion. “I have talked with some in the community who say 'you need to do
it' and with others who say 'not,'” said board chairman Dr. Hardwick Kay. “This is an issue we will need to look at.” Kay said the board will also look at the policies of other arenas before making any decision on a license. “If we decide to do it, we want to have control,” added the chairman. In other board business, a meeting with the new Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Board was tentatively set for Feb. 25. “Even though they haven't hired a new director, the feeling now is we need to have a meeting with them,” said Dr. Kay. “We need to get both boards together in an informal way and get to know one another.” Arena General Manager Tammy Genovese also told the board the first Saturday in May is the target for the facility's first big concert. “Our focus is May 4 to go along with the 10K,” she said.

I think it’s just great to be another person, to get away from ordinary life,” said 10-year-old Max Marsh, who plays Christopher Robin. “That’s our season’s theme this year — ‘Let the Arts Transport You‘ — and we’ve got a great set, a great play and it’s fascinating to be out here.” Caden Harvell has a special connection to the character of Piglet. “Piglet was my favorite character and I got the part!” said Caden. Seventeen-year-old Ashely Austin (Winniethe-Pooh) also feels a connection to her role. “I enjoy the opportunity to live something I grew up watching,” she
said. “It’s kinda trippy — but awesome. Plus, I like Honey. So it works out for us all.” Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

the time. Creech insisted she never told her mother that Jane Jones planned to sell property that her mother had transferred to the grandmother, though she acknowledged she spoke with her mother several times on the day of the shooting. Prosecutors argued in their opening statement that Creech had told her mother of her grandmother’s intent to sell the property and said that was a key reason for the confrontation that led to the shooting. Prosecutors have argued the shooting occurred during an argument between the women over that property and that Rebecca Jones had gone to the house that day to confront her mother over the issue. Defense attorneys claim Rebecca Jones went to the house to check on her mother af-
ter becoming concerned about her behavior and the shooting was an accident that happened during a struggle for the gun They say the defendant never intended to shoot her mother. The defense also presented several witnesses Tuesday who were close friends or family of the two women who testified about their relationship. Jurors will return to the courtroom at 9 a.m. today when the defense is expected to finish its case. Closing arguments are expected later today. It remains unclear if the defendant will testify. This is the second time Rebecca Jones has faced a jury on the charge. Last October a mistrial was declared on the second day of Jones’ first trial after she fell ill and was hospitalized. She was later released from the hospital and ordered held without bond until the conclusion of the case.

furniture or other items. Laher questioned how Ragin could have known for sure the condition of the house and sharply questioned his investigative techniques, arguing the lack of evidence of a struggle was due to a lack of proper investigation. Ragin strongly defended his work and repeatedly stated he saw no reason to believe a struggle had occurred. Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar testified Tuesday he had known both women for many years through his law enforcement career and knew their relationship to be strained. “It was a relationship that was very volatile,” he said. Tolar, who along with Ragin questioned Rebecca Jones the day after the shooting, said the defendant told investigators she had gone to her
mother’s house to confront her about several issues and the discussion became heated. She said as she got up to leave she reached in her purse and pulled out a gun she regularly carried to reach her keys below it and when she pulled the gun out her mother lunged at her and the gun went off during the struggle. Tolar testified he never saw Rebecca Jones show any remorse or sorrow over her mother’s death during the course of being questioned. Under cross examination by Laher, Tolar said Jones did say she attempted to get to the phone while her mother was on the phone with 911 after the shooting to give her side but was unable to make the phone work. He said Jones told him she returned to the house after leaving because she didn’t think she had done anything wrong.
Other witnesses presented Tuesday by the state included the medical examiner and a firearms expert from the Mississippi State Crime Lab who both testified the fatal wound to Jane Jones' abdomen must have come from no more than a few feet away. Felicia Robinson, a firearms examiner from the crime lab, said the hole through the victim’s shirt indicated the gun was fired within 9 inches of the garment. Jane Jone’s brother, Jimmy Hicks, testified his late sister’s relationship with her daughter was “rocky” and both would call him complaining about the other. He also noted his sister had told him she planned to sell some property she had been holding for Rebecca Jones just prior to the shooting. He said, however, that he knows the two loved each other and wanted to love each
other. Under questioning from Wise he said Rebecca Jones blamed her mother for taking her daughter and her land from her. The defense began its case with testimony from Rebecca Jones’ daughter, Brooke Creech. Jane Jones had obtained custody of Creech when she was a child and she continued living with her grandmother until she became an adult. Creech testified how well her mother was doing since she moved to Alabama. Creech told the jury it was customary for her mother to always have her gun with her because she once had a break-in and been held at gunpoint. “She had that gun in the hospital when my baby was born. That was her protection,” Creech said. She said she always kept the gun in a holster and kept it with her all

Today in history Today is Thursday, Feb. 21, the 52nd day of 2013. There are 313 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 21, 1613, Mikhail Romanov, 16, was unanimously chosen by Russia’s national assembly to be czar, beginning a dynasty that would last three centuries.
On this date: In 1513, Pope Julius II, who had commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, died nearly four months after the project was completed. In 1862, Nathaniel Gordon became the first and only American slave-trader to be executed under the U.S. Piracy Law of 1820 as he was hanged in New York. In 1885, the Washington Monument was dedicated. In 1912, the Great Fifth Ward Fire broke out in Houston, Texas; although property losses topped $3 million, no one was killed in the blaze. In 1916, the World War I Battle of Verdun began in France as German forces attacked; the French were able to prevail after 10 months of fighting. In 1925, The New Yorker magazine made its debut. In 1945, during the World War II Battle of Iwo Jima, the escort carrier USS Bismarck Sea was sunk by kamikazes with the loss of 318 men. In 1947, Edwin H. Land publicly demonstrated his Polaroid Land camera, which could produce a black-and-white photograph in 60 seconds. In 1965, black Muslim leader and civil rights activist Malcolm X, 39, was shot to death inside the Audubon Ballroom in New York by assassins identified as members of the Nation of Islam. In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon began his historic visit to China as he and his wife, Pat, arrived in Beijing. In 1973, Israeli fighter planes shot down Libyan Arab Airlines Flight 114 over the Sinai Desert, killing all but five of the 113 people on board. In 1986, Larry Wu-tai Chin, the first American found guilty of spying for China, killed himself in his Virginia jail cell.
Ten years ago: The owners of The Station nightclub in West Warwick, R.I., where 100 people perished in a fast-moving fire the night before, denied giving the rock band Great White permission to use fireworks blamed for setting off the blaze, although the band’s singer insisted the use of pyrotechnics had been approved. Chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix ordered the destruction of dozens of Iraqi missiles with ranges that violated U.N. limits. Michael Jordan became the first 40-year-old in NBA history to score 40 or more points, getting 43 in the Washington Wizards’ 89-86 win over the New Jersey Nets.
Five years ago: Serb rioters broke into the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade and set fire during protests against Western support for an independent Kosovo.

Senate recognizes state Rotary clubs The Mississippi State Senate recently issued a resolution recognizing January 2013 as “Rotary Awareness Month in Mississippi.” Resolution No. 520 acknowledges the 108-year service history of Rotary International and its 1.2 million Rotary club members made up of professional and business leaders from across the world. There are currently 34,000 clubs in 200 countries and geographic areas. The resolution also recognizes the over 100 Rotary clubs in Mississippi and the service projects they support. “Rotary is a valuable asset to all of the towns and communities across our state. Our clubs provide numerous volunteers and funding for many needed projects,” said Danny Williams, Rotary District Governor for District 6820. “It is amazing to me the number of lives that are
touched each year by the Rotarians across our state. We are doing good in the world, and we need to do a better job of making the public more aware of our organization. It’s great to have the support of our state legislators through their recent joint resolution. Rotary finds club projects and sponsors volunteers with community expertise to provide medical supplies, health care, clean water, food production, job training and education to millions in need, particularly to those in developing countries.” As volunteers, Rotarians conduct projects to address today’s humanitarian challenges including illiteracy, disease, hunger, poverty, lack of clean water and environmental concerns while encouraging high standards in all vocations.

Corinth, Miss.
Online sales tax collection remains a political enigma In the decade or so that I’ve written about the fact that Mississippi fails to collect sales tax on online purchases, three things have become painfully evident. First, there’s the shocking news that people who aren’t currently paying sales tax on their online purchases really want any change in the Sid Salter don’t status quo. Second, most of Columnist the people in the first category have convinced themselves that online sales taxes would represent “new” taxes that they didn’t previously owe. Third, Mississippi’s political appetite for any “new” taxes is non-existent. Still, the fact is that Congress is looking seriously at the Marketplace Fairness Act, a measure which would empower states to tax out-of-state online purchases. The bill would exempt small businesses that earn less than $1 million annually from out-of-state sales. Proponents of the legislation say the new law would balance an unfair advantage that online retailers currently enjoy over traditional bricks-and-mortar stores. Current law prohibits states from collecting sales taxes from retailers who have no physical location or “nexus” in their state. But buyers, on the honor system, are supposed to pay the sales taxes they owe in the states where sales taxes are applicable. Unfortunately, the vast majority of online buyers simply don’t. Therefore, if two next-door neighbors in Pontotoc buy the same hammer -- one online from another state and one in a Pontotoc store -- they both owe Mississippi sales tax of seven percent for their hammer. The difference is the state of Mississippi makes the Pontotoc store the tax collector for the hammer purchased directly. No one enforces collection of the seven percent Mississippi sales tax due from the hammer ordered online from the other state. Online sales taxes aren’t “new” taxes because Mississippi has been collecting sales taxes on hammers since 1932. What would be “new” is that there would be uniform collection of existing sales taxes from everyone. The Congressional Research Service cited federal estimates of $4.1 trillion in online sales in 2010, which amounts to 16.1 percent of all U.S. sales. Estimates of foregone sales tax revenue from these transactions total some $23 billion, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The NCSL identifies an annual $303.4 million in uncollected Mississippi sales tax revenues. What is lost in translation in the political debate over this issue is the contention that “Internet taxes” are new taxes. The fact is that collecting online sales tax is simply full enforcement of a tax that Mississippi purchasers have owed since 1932. Congressional efforts to deal with online sales tax collections in a uniform way may fall victim to broader overall tax code reform efforts. But many of the major online sellers like Amazon and business lobby voices like the National Retail Federation are backing the Marketplace Fairness Act. Impatient with congressional efforts that continually kick the can of online sales tax collection down the political road, many states are trying to enact online sales tax collection efforts on their own -- particularly larger states where the revenue stakes are much higher than in Mississippi. It would seem that in a conservative state like Mississippi, efforts to make every taxpayer pay the taxes they owe would be greeted with applause. But in the decade that I’ve watched this issue evolve -- or perhaps fester is more descriptive term -- that’s just not been the case.

Who really killed the middle class? “It is our generation’s task, then, to reignite the true engine of America’s economic growth -- a rising, thriving middle class.” So said B a r a c k Obama in his State of the Union. And for one of his Pat ideas to reBuchanan ignite that engine, Republicans Columnist applauded. “And tonight, I am announcing that we will launch talks on a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union -- because trade that is free and fair across the Atlantic supports millions of good-paying American jobs.” One wonders if any of those in the hall who rose robotically at the phrase “free and fair” were aware of the trade results just in from 2012. U.S. exports to Europe fell, imports from Europe rose, and our trade deficit with the EU shot up 16 percent to $116 billion. We ran a trade deficit with Italy of $20 billion, with Ireland of $25 billion, with Germany of $60 billion. The Europeans are eating our lunch.
What about South Korea, the country with whom we signed a free-trade deal in 2012? U.S. exports to Korea fell last year, and due to a surge in imports our trade deficit with South Korea soared 25 percent to $16.6 billion. Seoul’s trade minister who cut that deal should get a medal and the kind of bonus Americans reserve for people like hedge fund managers and the folks who ran Fannie and Freddie. And Japan? Last year, Nippon ran a $76 billion trade surplus with the United States, second largest of any country. But that is insufficient for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has bullied the Bank of Japan to drive down the yen 20 percent against the dollar in three months -- to increase exports to America and cut imports. Look for the U.S. trade deficit with Tokyo to explode. What about that NAFTA treaty the establishments of both parties heralded in the Clinton era? Last year, the United States ran a trade deficit of $32 billion with Canada and twice that, $61 billion, with Mexico. What was America’s overall trade position in 2012? We ran a global trade deficit in goods of $736 bil-
lion. That is 5 percent of the U.S. economy. We are hemorrhaging jobs, factories, wealth. In banking, consulting, lawyering, we had a nice surplus. That’s what we Americans do now. Since Bush 1, when some of us began to argue loudly that a mindless ideological pursuit of free trade would imperil America’s industrial base, the total of U.S. trade deficits in goods with the world is approaching $10 trillion. Might this humongous dumping of foreign goods into the U.S.A., killing our factories, and the liberation of our transnational elite to close plants, outsource production, and bring foreign-made goods back free of charge into the U.S. market, have had something to do with killing the middle class? The U.S. median income stopped growing in the mid-1970s, the same time we began to run 40 straight years of ever-expanding trade deficits. And how are we doing with China? One learns that the U.S. trade deficit in goods with China was not only an alltime record, but the largest between any two nations in the history of the world -$315 billion. China now exports 6.3
times as much in manufactured goods to the United States, $417 billion’s worth, as we export to China. Over two decades, Republicans in the lead, America granted Beijing most favored nation status, then permanent normal trade relations. Then we squired Beijing into the World Trade Organization. And since the courtship began, the trade surpluses China has run with the U.S. have enriched, empowered and emboldened her so that, today, China has laid claim to all the islands in the South and East China seas and is telling the U.S. Navy to stay out of the Yellow Sea and Formosa Strait. And the free-trade fanatics responsible for building up this Asian colossus challenging us in the Pacific now tell us we must shift our planes, ships and troops to Asia and the Western Pacific to contain the mighty and mammoth power their stupidity created. Every nation seems to understand what our baby boomers were never taught. A trade balance is a measure of national power that reliably identifies rising and falling nations.

Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion crippled by states BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN President Obama boasts that his Obamacare legislation will reduce the number of uninsured by 30 million. But recent actions by the states to reject his proposed expansion of Medicaid auger about a 25 percent reduction in his stated goal. The Roberts decision affirming the constitutional validity of the individual mandate in Obamacare left the states free to decline the expansion of Medicaid specified in the legislation without facing a penalty. Obamacare now suggests that states cover people for Medicaid up to 133 percent of the poverty level. For a family of one, that comes to $11,490. For a family of two it is $20,628. For three it is $26,000 and for a family of four it would be $31,000. Now, states are deciding if they will expand their Medicaid eligibility as Obama suggests or will opt out as the Supreme Court permits. Twenty-one states have either indicated that they will opt out or are considering doing so. At least 12 states have decided not to participate: Maine, New Jersey, Penn-

sylvania, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Idaho. Nine states are considering opting out: Florida, Wisconsin, Utah, Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kansas, Alaska and Indiana. The combined population of the opt-out states is 86 million and the population of the undecided states is 57 million. Of the 30 states (including D.C.) who have indicated they will participate, six already offer Medicaid to those with 133 percent of the poverty level. There would be no increase in coverage for these states under the Obamacare Medicaid provisions. These states have a combined total of 50 million people. So 62 percent of Americans will be unaffected by the Obamacare expansion of Medicaid. In addition, 12 states who are accepting the new Medicaid eligibility standards already cover 100 percent or more of the poverty level. While they will slightly increase their coverage, it would not be by much. These states have a combined population of 68 mil-
lion. So here is the extent of the Medicaid expansion, one of the two key elements in Obamacare: Percent of U.S. Population ■ States refusing expansion: 28 percent ■ States which may refuse: 18 percent ■ States already over 133 percent eligibility: 16 percent ■ States already at 100133 percent eligibility: 22 percent ■ Total: 84 percent So only 16 percent of the U.S. population stands to “benefit” from the increased Medicaid eligibility levels in Obamacare. Obamacare advertises that it will reduce the number of uninsured by 30 million. About 10 million of them were to come from Medicaid expansion. Now it looks like the bulk of this expansion will not happen, potentially lowering the number of uninsured covered to the 22-24 million range, effectively a onequarter cut in the impact of Obamacare. The states are rejecting expansion of Medicaid for several reasons: ■ While Obamacare

promises to reimburse states for the cost of the expansion for three years, it only reimburses 90 percent after that period. Since full implementation of the Obamacare standard would increase Medicaid coverage by about 50 percent, these costs are likely to be severely burdensome. ■ Governors are worried that an expansion of Medicaid eligibility will trigger an influx of those now eligible into the Medicaid program. The Kaiser Foundation estimated that half of the growth of Medicaid expected by 2022 would come from those currently eligible. These new Medicaid recipients would be a big burden on states and the feds would only pick up an average of 60 percent of their cost. But governors are on the lookout and are rapidly mitigating the effects of Obamacare on their Medicaid costs.

Crews recover body in explosion rubble KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Search crews at the site of a massive explosion that destroyed a popular Kansas City, Mo., restaurant recovered one body Wednesday, and the city’s mayor said there was no certainty the rubble wasn’t concealing other victims. Mayor Sly James declined to say whether the body belonged to a man or a woman, though authorities have been looking for a woman who worked at JJ’s restaurant and was seen there before the Tuesday evening blast and reported missing afterward. They previously said she was the only person still unaccounted for following the explosion and fire. But James said at a news conference that authorities can’t be “100 percent sure that we can account for every single person that may have been at JJ’s when the explosion occurred.” “Since this started without a list of those in the building ... those search and rescue people are out there going through the rubble and will continue to go through the rubble,” James said. “They will continue to investigate until weather shuts it down.” Crews using flashlights, cadaver dogs and heavy equipment have been searching the site feverishly ahead of a major winter storm bearing down on the city. James said 15 people were injured in the blast. Six were still hospitalized Wednesday morning. The blast occurred after a construction crew apparently struck a natural gas line. The explosion was felt for nearly a mile around the restaurant, shattering glass in nearby buildings and sending an ominous smoke plume above the city’s prized outdoor shopping district. One of two people first feared to be missing was later found at a hospital. But the woman who worked at JJ’s was still missing, and James had stressed that finding her remained the primary focus of Wednesday’s efforts. “We have a major storm coming in this evening,” James said. “We’re going to work diligently to get in (to
the blast site) to get underneath that weather.” Searchers were continuing their work at midday at JJs, a beloved fixture on the city’s culinary scene for more than 27 years. Locals knew it as a prime after-work stop, though the restaurant won a broader reputation after it consistently received high ratings from contributors to Zagat’s restaurant guides, both for its food and its list of hundreds of wines. The blast happened at around 6 p.m. Tuesday, when the dinner crowd would have been filing into JJ’s and the many other restaurants in the upscale Country Club Plaza shopping and dining district. Firefighters had received a call about 5:15 p.m. that a construction worker had hit a gas line near the restaurant, and they conferred with employees for Missouri Gas Energy, which supplies the area, Fire Chief Paul Berardi said. He said the cause of the gas leak has not yet been confirmed and is still under investigation. It wasn’t clear Wednesday how hard firefighters or utility officials worked to evacuate the restaurant after gas was first noticed. Both James and Berardi said the fire department deferred to MGE since the utility would have more expertise in assessing the seriousness of the situation. “It’s not a matter of deferring, it’s a matter of knowing a utility is involved. Fire department does not do gas, MGE does gas,” James said. “Everybody wants to know what happened, everybody wants to blame someone, everybody wants to know details. That’s not going to happen today.” A construction project had been going on across a narrow, oneway street from JJ’s for seven years. The work had complicated access to the street-corner restaurant, and a server needed hospital treatment in 2006 after she was struck by a rock sent flying by blasting for excavation of the construction site.
Baptists want gay Scout ban continued NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The nation’s largest Protestant group is calling on members of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America to uphold a ban on gay leaders and Scouts when it votes in May.
The Southern Baptist Convention’s executive committee passed the resolution Tuesday. It also calls on like-minded corporate leaders to support the Scouts financially. And it expresses “dismay and disappointment” at any Scout leaders who may have lobbied to remove the ban. The Scouts announced last month that they would consider a proposal to let the sponsors of each individual troop decide whether to ban gays. The policy was supposed to be settled on Feb. 6 by the Scouts’ 70-member national executive board. Under intense pressure from both sides, the board punted the decision to the 1,400-member National Council.
Last-minute stay halts execution JACKSON, Ga. — The execution of a Georgia man who killed a fellow prisoner in 1990 was halted Tuesday at the last minute so courts could consider claims that he’s mentally disabled and other issues. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted its stay of execution as 52-year-old Warren Lee Hill was being prepared for lethal injection. In a 2-1 decision, a panel of the appeals court said further review is needed of recent affidavits by doctors who changed their minds about Hill’s mental capacity. “In other words, all of the experts — both the State’s and the petitioner’s — now appear to be in agreement that Hill is in fact mentally retarded,” judges in the majority wrote in their order. The state court of appeals also issued a stay to allow more time to consider a challenge related to the state’s lethal injection procedure. Earlier in the day, the state parole board, the Supreme Court of Georgia and the U.S. Supreme Court had all declined to stop the execution. “We are greatly relieved that the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has stayed the execution of Warren Hill, a person with mental retardation. All the doctors who have examined Mr. Hill are unanimous in their diagnosis of mental retardation,” defense attorney Brian Kammer said in an Please see NATION | 6

Mrs. Obama to visit school on health tour CLINTON — First lady Michelle Obama will visit a Clinton elementary school Feb. 27 to highlight nutritional improvements in school lunches. Obama, along with chef Rachael Ray, will visit Northside & Eastside Elementary School, saluting the Clinton school district’s efforts to provide nutritious food and more student exercise opportunities. Obama and Ray will host a cooking competition between school chefs that will air March 11 on “The Rachel Ray Show.” Obama will also talk about childhood obesity. Mississippi has been trying to slim down its students since state lawmakers passed the Healthy Students Act in 2007. A 2010 federal law also mandated changes in food served to student under the federal school lunch program.

Suspect now held on state charges
Olive Branch blocks second theater
GULFPORT — A federal judge has ordered one of two men arrested for kidnapping a retired college professor held without bond while a second man now faces state charges. The Sun Herald reports that U.S. Magistrate John M. Roper on Tuesday ordered 31-year-old Arveanious “A.V.” Smith held without bond pending trial on kidnapping charges. Roper dismissed federal charges against Travis Jerome Washington after being told the man, who was initially identified by the FBI as 18, was actually 17. Pascagoula police filed state kidnapping charges Tuesday against Washington who is being held without bond. Authorities say the two are accused of assaulting and kidnapping the 63-year-old retired professor from his Fayette home on Feb. 12, stealing his car and driving him into Louisiana before releasing him Feb. 13 in Pascagoula.

Speed up computers by removing clutter Extension Center for Technology Outreach
Obsessive-compulsives are not the only ones who should note that the second Monday in February was National Clean Out Your Computer Day. Cleaning a computer is a great way to speed up the computer, find files more quickly and prevent pesky viruses and spyware from taking control of the hard drive.
Start with the desktop. If there any unused icons or files saved on the desktop, delete them. Most desktop icons are simply shortcuts for easy access to other programs installed on your computer. I have a bad habit of saving photos people email me to the desktop so I can find them easily. Photos take up a lot of space and should be moved to the “My Pictures” folder under “My
Documents.” The fewer documents, photos and other files saved to your desktop, the faster your computer boot-up time will be. Don’t forget to clean out your recycle bin, which can be found on your desktop. Carefully review the items to be deleted and then empty the recycle bin. Once items have been deleted from
video as part of a Facebook town hall hosted by Parents Magazine on the administration’s strategy for reducing gun violence, which he has led at the direction of President Barack Obama. Biden said he keeps two shotguns and shells locked up at home and he’s told his wife, Jill, to use them if she needs protection. He presumably was speaking about before he became vice president, a position that gives the couple full-time Secret Service protection. “I said, ‘Jill, if there’s ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony ... take that doublebarrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house,’” Biden said. “You don’t need an AR15. It’s harder to aim, it’s harder to use and in fact, you don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself.” Biden’s answer came in response to a question posted by a Facebook user about whether the administration’s proposal to ban militarystyle assault weapons
and high-capacity magazines would make lawabiding citizens more of a target of criminals since they wouldn’t have a sufficient way of protecting themselves. Biden bristled at the question, saying he’s never heard such sentiments in the pages of Parents Magazine. “But I’m delighted to answer them,” he added quickly. Biden said he learned his lessons on gun safety from his father, who was a hunter. He said as a child, he wasn’t even allowed to point a cap gun at other children while playing cops and robbers. He said most gun owners are very responsible, but parents should make sure guns are locked up to keep children safe, just like pool gates and liquor cabinets. He also said he doesn’t think the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms should be changed. He said limits on the use of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines is compatible with that right.

GULFPORT — An attorney has asked for a two-week delay of Thursday’s sentencing for a woman in a prescription pain pill case. The sentencing for Gail Owens had been set for Thursday in U.S. District Court in Gulfport. The attorney asked for time to investigate allegations by confidential informants in a presentencing report. Prosecutors say Owens and Charles MacGeorge were in their hotel room at the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi when police found more than 374 pain pills in 2010. Court records say the search of the hotel room happened after Gulfport police arrested a known drug dealer with 10 Oxycontin pills. He allegedly led police to Owens. Owens and MacGeorge pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Gulfport last October.

When people really desire to be saved, they will gladly receive the word of God. “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls” (Acts 2:41). We are saved when we are obedient to the word of God. “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (1 Tim 4:16). There are those who believe and teach the doctrine of “faith only”. The expression “faith only” appears only once in the new testament. “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only” ( James 2:24). However, there are those who teach that “faith only is a very wholesome doctrine and very full of comfort”. The new testament does not teach “faith only”. Notice what Peter taught on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:38. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost”. Jesus also said in Mark 16:16, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned”. Ananias told Saul of Tarsus, “And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord”(Acts 22: 16). Sins are washed away by the precious blood of Christ. “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death” (Rom 6:3)? One is not saved before baptism, but when one is baptized. “The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (I Peter 3:21). When we do what the Bible teaches, we will be saved by the precious blood of Christ. The Bible teaches one is not saved before baptism.

Senior citizens group seeks new center BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
BOONEVILLE — All they want is “A Place of Our Own.� That’s the name of a senior citizens craft and activity center envisioned by local volunteer Judy George, who has served as leader of the Crafty Ladies crafting group in Booneville for more than 14 years. George has secured a permanent location for the group in the former Kings Christian Store building on College Street across from the water tower and she’s now asking for help from the public to make the dream a reality. The group currently meets weekly at the Sunflower Park Community Center where they gather to put their talents and
skills to work creating items for area nursing home residents, hospice patients, children and families struggling with losses and illness in area women’s hospitals and neonatal intensive care units and more. George said the goal of the group is to help others while also creating a friendly and welcoming place for senior citizens, both men and women, to get out and enjoy fellowship and the benefits of staying busy and active. She said the new building offers a great opportunity to expand the group and make it more accessible and able to do more for the community but it will take the support of the community to make it happen. Funds are needed to pay the rent on the build-
ing along with deposits and monthly bills for utilities as well as to purchase materials for the craft projects. She knows countless lives have been touched through their work and she’s asking the community to get behind them now and give them a chance to grow. “We’re looking for people to support our efforts. If we’ve ever helped you in anyway, help us now,� said George. She’s currently in the process of establishing the group as a federally recognized non-profit organization which will allow all donations made to them to be tax-deductible. A bank account has been set up at First American National Bank for donations. The crafting group began more than 14 years
ago when George saw an opportunity to give back to those who have helped her in her own life. “All my life I’ve been helped by people. I want to pay it back,� she said. They began operating in a small room at a local ministry and then, through the help of late Mayor Wayne Michael, were able to move into the West Side Community Center. They later moved to the current location at Sunflower Community Center. While George said she’s grateful for the city’s willingness to allow them to use the community center, they are limited in the size of projects they can take on because they have to clear away their work at the end of each session and have limited space to set up
sewing machines and other equipment. Moving into their own building would give them the space to set up two fullsize quilting frames and to be open five days a week instead of the current once-a-week meeting. “I have stepped out on a giant leap of faith, now I need a lot of faith partners. If individuals, churches and clubs would just pledge $10 a month which would amount to $100 for the rest of the year, we can do this. We have accomplished a lot over the years with donations of material, thread and craft supplies. I can’t even imagine what we will be able to do with our own place and a little money,� said George. She said the goal is to provide the classes free
of charge and to encourage those who have crafting skills to pass their skills down to others. “We have a lot of work ahead of us and the excitement is out of this world. Pray for this endeavor and stop by to see what’s needed,� she said. George emphasized all funds raised will be used directly for the payment of bills related to the new location. No one will receive any kind of salary or personal benefit from the project. She calls the concept “A Place of Our Own� because she said that’s all they’re asking for. “We just want our own place so we can work together and help others,� she said. George hopes they will be able to open the center sometime in March.
Woman finds, fights to keep her ‘Safe Haven’ observe her in Boston under extreme stress. Watching the openTerry ing scenes Burns and flashbacks, the Movie Critic audience realizes the torture she has been through. Katie decides to live out the Paul Simon song “Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover�: “Slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan — Don’t need to be coy, Roy — Hop on
the bus, Gus.� Which is what Katie does. She is off to a small coastal town. There she meets Alex (Josh Duhamel), owner of the local grocery store. He is a widower with two children. He and Katie go through the usual ritual of resisting the idea of dating again. Katie finds a job as a waitress in the small town and a cabin in the woods for privacy. However, the mysterious young woman has a way of being noticed where ever she goes. Something out of the ordinary takes place while Katie is at her house. A
lady appears and they begin to talk about life, troubles and recovery. In a way, I liked this part, but in a way, it is a little corny. It did have a heart warming message as the movie heads for the finish line. Katie's husband wants to find her safe haven and turn it into a dangerous storm. He is a certified psycho. “Safe Haven� has a semi-interesting and predictable story. Those who want to cry will have to wait until the end to reach for the tissue. To paraphrase a couple of

the recycle bin, consider them gone for good. Technically speaking, they can be restored but it will take a great deal of time, effort and money to pay a technician to retrieve the lost files. Next up is that jungle known as the “My Documents� or “Documents� folder. I always have the best of intentions of organizing my files, but the phone rings, the dog barks, and I’ve simply saved another file randomly in the My Docs folder. The only problem is that over time it can be increasingly difficult to find those files. Try organizing your documents folder much like a filing cabinet. Create folders under documents for various topics such as banking, taxes, family and church. To create order out of cha-
os, open the docs folder and right-click in a blank area. In the pop-up menu, left-click “New� and then left-click “Folder.� Name the folder and press “Enter.� If you accidently click off of the folder and it will not let you type in the name field, just rightclick on the folder and in the pop-up menu left-click “Rename.� Once you have created your folders, you can leftclick once on the document that needs to be filed and then hold down your left mouse button and drag the file to the folder. When the file is hovering over the folder, release the mouse; the file has been successfully moved. Continue until all of your files have been organized. Honestly, most of us are not going to take the time to organize our files. So, the next best thing you can do is to defragment the
hard drive. Every computer has a program called Disk Defragmenter. You can find yours by going to “My Computer� and doing a search for “Disk Defragment.� Once you find it, open the program and left-click “Defragment.� Defragmenting takes all of the same types of files and organizes them on your hard drive so the computer can access them more quickly. Another great tip for cleaning a computer is to delete temporary Internet files and cookies. Any time you get out on the World Wide Web, cookies and temporary files store on your computer. Over time, they can slow the computer down and lead to annoying pop-ups. To delete them, open Internet Explorer and left-click “Tools/Internet Options.� In the “Delete Browsing� box, left-click “Delete.�

UNA hosting comedy conference FLORENCE, Ala. — The University of North Alabama Department of English will host its fourth annual conference for graduate-level English students across the Southeast region Feb. 22 and 23 in the GUC Performance Center. The conference will feature four faculty-led academic panels and 12 student presentations as well as a stand-up comedy act and theatrical performance. The theme of this year’s conference is “No Laughing Matter: Exploring the Art of Humor.� The conference will focus on the theme of humor in literature, film, stand-up comedy, television and other media. The conference co-chairs are Dr. Lesley
Peterson, associate professor of English, and Bradley Sides, a recent M.A. graduate of UNA. Peterson and Sides asked current and recent graduate students from universities across the Southeast to examine the role of humor in traditional and modern art and media. Participants responded with proposals focusing on topics such as satire, comics and gender stereotypes in outlets such as the television series “The Simpsons� and “Seinfeld� as well as in Larry the Cable Guy’s stand-up routine. Sides said 12 students, including three from UNA, will give presentations.

Holiday season bounty? Wall Street expects that Wal-Mart Stores enjoyed a decent holiday shopping season. The world’s largest retailer, due to report fourth-quarter results today, plied shoppers with low prices and other enticements like product layaways. Investors will be listening for clues as to how Wal-Mart’s low-income customers are reacting to a 2 percent rise in payroll taxes that started last month, delayed tax refunds and rising gas prices.
How will you pay for retirement? Let’s talk.

As goes January, so goes the year. An old Wall Street adage says that when stocks have a good January, they usually end up having a good year. And that idea can be taken a step further. The sectors that do best in January usually end up performing best over the full year. Last year, financial stocks jumped 8 percent in January and outpaced the 4 percent rise of the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. Over the full year, they surged 26 percent, double the 13 percent rise of the index. Although there isn’t a clear reason for the pattern, it happens more often than not. S&P Capital IQ strategist Sam Stovall found that since 1990, the three best performing sectors in January went on to beat the S&P 500 index 61 percent of the time. To be sure, the predictor isn’t perfect. Last January, raw material producer stocks led the 10 sectors that make up the S&P 500. They rose 11 percent in January but finished the year with just a 12 percent gain, which was less than the broader market. If the January predictor holds this year, look for gains from the energy industry (up roughly 8 percent), health care (up 7 percent) and financials (up nearly 6 percent). They were the best sectors in the S&P 500, which had its best January since 1997 with a 5 percent gain.

Sandy effect
Home sales slowing?
Many insurers have taken a financial hit on damage claims related to Superstorm Sandy, and AIG is no exception. In December, the company estimated it would book $1.3 billion in losses in the fourth quarter due to the storm, which made landfall at the end of October and caused damage in 11 states along the Northeast. As a result, Wall Street anticipates that AIG will report a loss today when it releases its latest quarterly results.
The National Association of Realtors reports data today on sales of previously occupied homes in January. Economists have forecast that the seasonally adjusted annual rate for sales slowed slightly last month from December, when it hit 4.94 million. One factor dampening sales: The supply of available homes on the market fell to the lowest level in 12 years.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Civil rights icon James Meredith, the first African-American student to attend the University of Mississippi, is visiting the Crossroads area this week for a series of presentations. See staff writer Bobby J. Smith’s story coming this week.
Gentleman is too slow to seal couple’s dates with first kiss DEAR ABBY: I’m a 43-yearold single mom with three young boys. I am also a veteran and getting ready to go back to school. I have been dating a gentleman for two months now, and we get along great. He’s three years older than I am and good with my kids and family. I like him a lot and we seem to have a lot in common — more than most. I really want him to kiss me, but I don’t want to seem pushy. He’s a real gentleman. We have gone from hugs to holding hands while sitting on the couch watching television. I don’t mind taking things slow, but ... How do I find out if he wants to kiss me or not? Sometimes it seems like it, but then he seems afraid to. How do I let him know it’s OK? Sorry I seem like a teenager. — CONFUSED IN IDAHO DEAR CONFUSED: This man isn’t taking things slow. Glaciers have been known to move faster. Two months is a very long time to wait for a first kiss. The next time you find yourself sitting on the couch and holding hands with him, you have my permission to turn to him and say, “I’d love it if you kissed me.” If that doesn’t do the trick, then face it — his feelings for you are only brotherly. DEAR ABBY: You have written about children in grocery stores before. Would you please
address the risk to children by allowing them to stand in grocery shopping carts? I see Abigail it all too ofand I Van Buren ten, don’t think the parents/ Dear Abby grandparents realize that if the child falls out and lands on his or her head, neck or back, the child could end up paralyzed or dead. The adult must be the rule setter and protect the child. But too often it’s the child setting the limits, and the results can be tragic. — CONCERNED SHOPPER IN NEW YORK DEAR CONCERNED SHOPPER: I’m glad to oblige. Many markets equip their shopping carts with seat belts to secure tiny passengers and avoid this problem. That way, any liability that might stem from a child falling would lie directly where it belongs, with the adult who should have been using common sense. DEAR ABBY: My oldest friend owes me a lot of money. I loaned it to her when she was being evicted. She has now come into some money and is going on a cruise. I asked her to repay me before
the trip. She said she “needs the cruise for her mental health.” I am shocked and very angry. When I lost my temper and told her off, she accused me of being “greedy and money-obsessed.” Abby, I helped her when she needed it! What should I do? —FURIOUS IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR FURIOUS: When your “friend” returns from her sea cruise, see if you can get her to agree to a repayment plan for the sake of your mental — and financial — health. However, if she refuses, you may have to write off the loan as tuition in the school of experience. Your mistake was not getting the terms of the loan in writing. DEAR ABBY: I have two sons who will graduate from college on the same day. My wife and I would like to attend both ceremonies, but for obvious reasons, we cannot. How do I resolve this dilemma? — FATHER IN TEXAS DEAR FATHER: Divide and conquer. You attend one graduation and your wife the other. To decide which one, you and the Mrs. should draw straws. (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 BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a fine line between good use of electronic devices and excessive dependence on them. You’ll draw a healthy boundary for yourself and your family in this regard. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your neighbors will be a topic of interest. What are they doing in there? Probably nothing as interesting as it seems from the outside. Anyway, it’s more fun to wonder than to ask. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Improvements in your personal life will happen over time. But you can already see the early signs that things are getting better, and you should be very encouraged by that. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like to make people laugh; it’s one of the ways you experience their love. So surround yourself with those intelligent, lighthearted types who have an obvious sense of humor. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Think
of the profound impact you’ve already had on your surroundings. You’ve changed the world in many ways without even knowing it. For instance, there are people who wouldn’t know each other at all if it weren’t for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Unfortunately, the solution to one problem is the seed of another problem. Your job is to think further into the future than the people around you and weigh potential consequences against today’s options. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Who completes you? You are wise not to be dependent on one person; it’s not a one-person job. You feel whole when you give your attention to a dozen different interests and relationships. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People are the real treasures of your world, and you value them more than anything material. It doesn’t take big gestures to make this clear. There’s a quiet heroism in your patient, friendly attitude.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have your eye on an upgrade that will enable you to show up for work in style. This improvement will likely be more expensive than you anticipated, though, so start saving now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People are searching for a sense of security, but that shouldn’t all fall on you. Staying true to your word is easier if you don’t give your word in the first place. Avoid making promises; it will be better for everyone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s not every day that perfect partnerships come together. That’s why when you sense that an arrangement is going to work well, you should act on it immediately. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Life seems sweeter when affections are reciprocated, but this is not entirely necessary for your happiness. Right now, you’re happy to give and love without worrying about how it will come back.

VINCENT COUNCIL, PROVIDENCE Council recorded an unorthodox double-double, grabbing 11 rebounds and handing out 11 assists as Providence raced past Notre Dame 71–51 for its fourth straight win. A senior from Brooklyn, Council is now the all-time assist leader at PC with 671. He needs three more to surpass former Syracuse great Sherman Douglas as the all-time leader in Big East games.

MARCUS SMART, OKLAHOMA STATE The streaking Cowboys rallied for an 84–79 victory in overtime over rival Oklahoma for their seventh straight win. Smart continued his stellar play, scoring a career-high 28 points to go along with seven rebounds and four assists. Smart, a freshman from Texas, has scored 20plus points in four of the last six games. PIERCE HORNUNG, COLORADO STATE Colorado State remained in the thick of the Mountain West title chase by gutting out an 89–86 win on the road vs. an underrated Air Force team. Hornung scored 13 points (one of five Rams in double figures) and grabbed 16 rebounds to lead the way for Larry Eustachy’s club. It was the 12th games with at least 10 rebounds for the 6'5" senior forward. KYLE ANDERSON, UCLA He’s often been overshadowed by other members of UCLA’s elite freshman class, but Anderson came through with a huge performance in UCLA’s impressive 88–80 win at Stanford. The 6'9” guard from New Jersey scored 18 points and had 13 rebounds to lead the Bruins to their fourth road win in league play. Anderson combined with fellow freshmen Shabazz Muhammad (25 points) and Jordan Adams (20) to score 63 of UCLA’s 88 points. ALEX LEN, MARYLAND Len outplayed Duke’s Mason Plumlee in a battle of two of the ACC’s top big men, scoring 19 points and grabbing nine rebounds in Maryland’s 83–81 win over the Blue Devils in College Park. Len, a sophomore projected to be a top-10 pick in the June NBA Draft, hit 6-of-8 from the field and 7-of-8 from the foul line. Plumlee, Duke’s 6'10" center, scored a seasonlow four points. TREY BURKE, MICHIGAN Michigan bounced back from a blowout loss at rival Michigan State by beating undermanned Penn State 79–71 in Ann Arbor. Burke, the Wolverines’ All-America point guard, scored a season-high 29 points and added five assists (with no turnovers) to lead Michigan to its 22nd win of the season. BRANDON TRICHE, SYRACUSE Triche scored a season-high 29 points and had six rebounds and five assists as Syracuse snapped a three-game losing streak on the road with a 76–65 win at Seton Hall. The Orange had not won away from home since their thrilling 70–68 win over then-No. 1 Louisville on Jan. 19. ANTHONY BENNETT, UNLV Bennett scored 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead UNLV to a crucial 72–70 win over San Diego State on Saturday night. A strong candidate for National Freshman of the Year honors, Bennett hit 7-of-12 from the field, including 4-of-5 from 3-point range. He is averaging 18.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. TRAE GOLDEN, TENNESSEE Tennessee’s recent surge has coincided with Golden’s return from a hamstring injury. The junior point guard scored 24 points and had eight assists in the Volunteers’ surprisingly easy 88–58 win over the Nerlens Noel-less Kentucky Wildcats. Golden has averaged 17.3 points in his three games — all Tennessee wins — since returning from the injury.

Mizzou poised to make its move
WAL-MART® is a trademark of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Which team do you believe is poised to make a run in the final weeks of the regular season? David Fox: Although Missouri bumbled its way to a loss to Arkansas on the road last weekend, the Tigers have a decent chance to finish the regular season on a high note. The Tigers’ SEC record has been a disappointment, but Mizzou is still working on getting Laurence Bowers to full strength. In the final few weeks of the season, the Tigers catch two teams at home (Florida and Arkansas) who don’t have strong road résumés and then they visit a wounded Kentucky in Rupp Arena. If Bowers returns to form, Mizzou can enter the SEC tourney on a hot streak. Mitch Light: I’ve been on the Iowa bandwagon for a while — and now is no time to jump off. The Hawkeyes were left for dead after stumbling out to a 3–7 record in the Big Ten, but a close look revealed that this team was much better than its record. There were early home losses to Indiana and Michigan State by a combined seven points and a brutal stretch that featured road losses at Purdue (in OT), Minnesota (by three) and at Wisconsin (in double-OT). Iowa has won three straight to improve to 6–7 in the Big Ten and has a relatively soft schedule down the stretch. Mark my words: Iowa will play in the NCAA Tournament. Nathan Rush: Oklahoma State has a hot hand right now, and the schedule is in the Cowboys’ favor. O-State’s three toughest games down the stretch will all tip-off in Stillwater. Coach Travis Ford has finally gotten his talented team’s production to match its enormous potential. The stage is set for Marcus Smart to lock up National Freshman of the Year honors and for Oklahoma State to improve its NCAA Tournament seeding. Both could easily happen with a strong run in the final weeks of the regular season.
SATURDAY, FEB. 23 NEW MEXICO AT COLORADO STATE It’s safe to say this is the biggest week for Colorado State basketball in recent memory. The Rams, tied with New Mexico atop the Mountain West standings (in the loss column), travel to UNLV on Wednesday before returning home to host the Lobos in Fort Collins. Colorado State is searching for its first conference championship since 198889, when Boyd Grant led the Rams to the outright WAC title. New Mexico beat CSU 66–61 in Albuquerque in late January. GEORGETOWN AT SYRACUSE It’s the last regular-season matchup between these two rivals as members of the Big East. And plenty is at stake. Georgetown, Syracuse and Marquette head into this week’s action tied for first in the league at 9–3, and Louisville is not far behind at 9–4. Syracuse has struggled a bit on the road of late, but the Orange are unbeaten at home. Surprising Georgetown, which has won six straight, has proven itself on the road, with wins at Notre Dame and Cincinnati. This should be a classic. CREIGHTON AT SAINT MARY’S The marquee matchup in this year’s BracketBusters pits Creighton and Saint Mary’s in a Saturday night showdown in Moraga. Creighton, despite its recent struggles, isn’t in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament. Saint Mary’s, on the other hand, desperately needs a quality win.

California’s coach says no excuse for shoving player The Associated Press
BERKELEY, Calif. — California coach Mike Montgomery said Tuesday there was no excuse for him shoving star player Allen Crabbe during a game and that the action was completely out of character for him. “It’s obvious I made a mistake and I feel very badly about it,” Montgomery said at his weekly news conference Tuesday. “There’s no place in sports that you can basically put your hands on one of your
student athletes. Got a little carried away in the heat and emotion of a basketball game so I apologized to Allen, I apologized to the team. I feel very badly. In 30-plus years of coaching it’s never happened before. It’s something I deeply regret. It’s not going to happen again.” Montgomery has been publicly reprimanded by the Pac-12 conference and his own athletic director for pushing Crabbe with both hands during a timeout in the second half of Cal’s 76-
68 win over Southern California on Sunday. Montgomery sounded a very different tone than the one he had in the same room two nights earlier, when he downplayed the event by calling it a motivational tactic and saying he would do it again because it worked. He acknowledged that he didn’t initially recognize the gravity of the event. He first saw video of the shove when he got home that night and later issued an apology through
the school. He then endured what he called “a couple of sleepless nights” as he watched coverage of the event that to his shock became national news. “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised,” he said. “It was a little bit surprising the legs that it got. I made the bed. I have to lay in it. I regret the incident. I thought Allen handled it very well. I’m really appreciative of that. Allen and I have a great relationship.” Crabbe spoke before
Montgomery on Tuesday and tried to move past the controversy, saying the whole thing had been “blown out of proportion” the past two days and that he and the team have moved on from it. “He just did it as a way to spark my play,” Crabbe said. “I don’t take it as anything negative. I just take it as motivation. He expects a lot out of me. If I want to be a leader on this team I can’t play lackadaisical. He was just trying to help me get my mind fo-
cused on the game.” Crabbe, the leading scorer in the Pac-12 with an average of 19.8 points, scored 14 points after the shove and led the Bears back from a 15-point deficit to win. Montgomery said he called Crabbe’s father to tell him he was out of line and said he would address the issue with his team at practice Tuesday. He said his talk with Crabbe’s father was all positive and that his relationship with his star player is good.

Corinth’s state path starts at home BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The road to Jackson is at home for the Corinth Warriors. Corinth will play host to the final three rounds of the Class 4A Boys North Half Tournament, which begins today at 4 p.m. with the first of a fourgame set. Corinth (24-6) will face off with former 1-3A and 1-4A rival New Albany (16-13) in Game One. The Bulldogs advanced with a 63-60 doubleovertime win over Greenwood on Tuesday. CHS, the defending North champions, rolled past Caledonia 75-46 on Tuesday, to
improve to 50-3 at home the past five years. Six of the eight teams — including Corinth and New Albany — that converged in Shannon in 2012 are back. Amanda Elzy, the reigning state champs, Houston, Noxubee County and Shannon were also in last year’s quarterfinals. Lafayette County and Rosa Fort are new to the mix this time around. Greenwood and North Pontotoc rounded out last season’s field Today’s other three games, in order, include Noxubee Co-Lafayette Co., Rosa FortShannon and Amanda Elzy-Houston. The finale is a
rematch of last year’s quarterfinal, which Elzy won 72-64. The Warriors will take an 18-game home winning streak into today’s elimination contest. Corinth has qualified for the State Tournament each of the six years — 1993, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2009, 2011 — its hosted the event. Corinth finished as runnerup to eventual state champion Booneville in the 2011 event. The Warriors finished third in 1993 before going on to claim their third state title. Today’s and Friday’s matches are elimination games with the Saturday participants earning a berth in the State
Tournament. The consolation round to determine the third qualifier was eliminated with the advent of a sixth class in 2009-10. ■ The Corinth Lady Warriors will be out to make more history tonight at Pontotoc. Corinth (13-15) will face Gentry in the fourth and final game of the 4A Girls North Half Tournament in Pontotoc. Corinth claimed only its second North Half win — and first away from home — with a 60-49 win at Houston. The Lady Warriors will face a touch task in adding to that by drawing a 23-2 Lady Ram squad.

Cabrera disappointed by link to PED The Associated Press
PEORIA, Ariz. — San Diego Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera says he was “a little surprised” and “disappointed” by a report that his name was listed in the records of a now-closed Florida clinic at the center of a Major League Baseball investigation into banned performance-enhancing drugs. ESPN reported Tuesday that Cabrera was on a list as having received performanceenhancing drugs, although the network said the docu-
ments are not proof he used or received them. Cabrera declined specific comment on Biogenesis of America, the closed anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables, Fla. He did not say whether he had taken, purchased or received performance-enhancing drugs. “I’m going to fully cooperate with Major League Baseball,” Cabrera said, “but I can’t say anything about that right now.” Cabrera, who led the NL with 44 stolen bases last
season, said he spoke with Padres manager Bud Black twice Wednesday about the issue, the final time with general manager Josh Byrnes present. Black, who has a strong relationship with Cabrera, didn’t sound overly concerned about the situation. “We’re satisfied by what we heard,” Black said. “We believe this will resolve itself in a positive way.” While he wouldn’t divulge details, Black said his conversation with Cabrera con-
vinced him all will be well. “It’s something that, for a moment, might be a distraction,” Black said. “There is some disappointment that some of our guys are mentioned in the press, but I think, in the long run, everything will work itself out.” Cabrera has not tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. But he could be subject to a 50-game suspension if MLB finds evidence he possessed banned substances or participated in their sale or distribution.
NCAA claims 3 coaches misled probe The Associated Press
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The NCAA believes former Miami assistant coaches Clint Hurtt, Aubrey Hill and Jorge Fernandez provided false or misleading information during the probe into the Hurricanes’ athletic department. The NCAA said all three violated “principles of ethical conduct” as part of the notice
of allegations served against the Hurricanes, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the allegations have not been released publicly. Hurtt and Hill were members of Miami’s football staff. Fernandez worked on the men’s basketball staff. Several other coaches are
named or referenced in the allegations, including Missouri basketball coach Frank Haith, who is alleged of failing “to promote an atmosphere for compliance.” But only Hurtt, Hill and Fernandez are facing the ethical-conduct charge, commonly known as NCAA Rule 10.1. Hurtt is currently on the staff at Louisville. Hill is not
working as a coach at this time, and Fernandez spent last season as an assistant at Marshall, resigning last May. The notice of allegations was delivered to Miami on Tuesday, and the university is facing the charge that it had a “lack of institutional control” — one of the worst things the Please see NCAA | 13
Answers could have big impact on draft stock The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Barkevious Mingo is ready for questions he will face this weekend in Indianapolis. Seemingly every NFL team at the annual scouting combine will ask about his relationship with former college
teammate Tyrann Mathieu and whether he ever hung out with the troubled cornerback. The answers could make as much difference in Mingo living up to his projection as a first-round draft pick as his time in the 40-yard dash. So the LSU star has left nothing
to chance, carving out time to prepare for the 15-minute interviews. “It’s one thing that all the guys that came out from LSU are going to face,” Mingo said during a telephone interview. “We know what kind of guy he was and we’re always go-
ing to be there for him.” Interview training has become an essential component for draft hopefuls. Most, if not all, of the 333 players expected to arrive in Indy for the combine have been instructed Please see DRAFT | 13
