Crossroads area has snow in forecast BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A light snowfall accumulation could hit the Corinth area this weekend. A storm system that will usher in colder weather on Saturday and Sunday will also bring possible snowfall Friday night and

early Saturday. The National Weather Service Memphis Forecast Office said light snowfall is likely Friday night with accumulation of less than an inch possible. Accumulations could reach advisory levels but are expected to remain light. Snow will end before noon

Saturday with a chilly high temperature of about 37. An upper level trough of low pressure approaching the MidSouth from the plains will bring the chance of wintry weather. “Cold temperatures should be in place and support a light snow event over much of the region

beginning in earnest Friday afternoon and continuing through Saturday morning,” said NWS - Memphis. “The greatest potential for light snow accumulations and highest probability of precipitation should remain east of the Mississippi River through this time period.”

Mostly sunny skies will return by Sunday as a Canadian surface high pressure builds behind the departing storm. Temperatures will return to the 50s on Monday and Tuesday. The season has yet to deliver an accumulating snowfall in Corinth.

City court offering fine amnesty period in March BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth Municipal Court is offering a chance to get on the right side of the law during the month of March. The court is beginning an amnesty program on Friday and continuing through March 30 for people who want to clear up old fines and avoid a possible trip to jail for failure to pay. The offer of amnesty is for old fines only — those owed prior to March 1, 2012 — and requires the person owing the fine to voluntarily come to the municipal court office at the justice center on South Harper Road. Those who make a voluntary appearance during March to address delinquent fines and outstanding warrants will not be arrested, said Court Clerk Zane Elliott. After the amnesty period ends, the court intends to get tough with outstanding fines. “I would like to encourage anyone with outstanding old fines to take advantage of this program,” said Elliott. “We are going to work with you, but you have to come in and see us during the month of March, because after that, we will be com-

give relief to people who may be in violation of a court-ordered obligation because they simply couldn’t pay. Elliott said it will help the court clear out

delinquent cases and focus its resources on the collection of more recent cases. Those who owe money can resume their prior payment

plan or schedule a new one that fits their budget. Judge John Ross and the court administrators have seen people get buried by fines and have a difficult time catching up. “We find for some people their fines just keep adding on and on, and a person cannot pay a ticket even though they might have been able to otherwise,” said Elliott. “We are fairly certain that a great number of people are good, honest citizens who cannot get out from under this obligation. By offering this amnesty program, this will allow relief to those most affected.” He said some are reluctant to appear because they can’t afford to pay off the fines and court costs. The police department is also backing the program. “We are going to continue to actively serve warrants, and I encourage people to take advantage of this program,” said Police Chief David Lancaster. “Once they are arrested, it’s too late.” Elliott said he expects the Please see AMNESTY | 2

A day of high-flying, dirtslinging Indoor Motocross is coming Saturday to Crossroads Arena. Sponsored by Lake Hill Motors, the event will feature hundreds of dirt bike riders of all ages and stunts by X-Games pro freestyle rider Cowboy Kenny Bartram. The Corinth event will be the last race of the series and is expected to be well-attended by riders as well as spectators, and possibly the biggest motocross event ever to be held in Corinth, said Crossroads Arena Manager Cindy Davis. “They’ve already had over 200 people enter the race and are letting people off the street enter, so it’s going to be big,” Davis said.

State Briefs Assocaited Press

Tupelo looks at garbage pickup TUPELO — The city of Tupelo is asking waste haulers interested in landing the local contract are being given two proposals to submit bids. City Council President Fred Pitts says one proposal calls for keeping twice weekly garbage pickup with recyclables picked up every other week. The other proposal would switch to a once-aweek pickup of garbage and recyclables. Waste Management was given a four-year deal in 2007 before the agreement was extended. The current contract runs out in June. Pitts says bids will go out in early March. Pitts says the council expects proposals from multiple companies.

Seabee base undergoing changes GULFPORT — A change of command ceremony at the Seabee base in Gulfport, Miss., also saw one unit decommissioned, another renamed and then combined with a third that will be called Naval Construction Group 2. Capt. Darius Banaji is commander of the newly formed Naval Construction Group 2. Base commander Captain Frederick Burgess will still hold that title under the realignment. Burgess says the changes will create more streamlined and efficient operations. Rear Adm. Mark Handley is the Naval Construction Forces commander. He says the changes will allow for better support of military forces. Another change of command will take place in June when Burgess will be replaced by Capt. Paul Odenthal. The Seabees will continue to provide engineering support in military operations, construct and maintain base facilities and repair battledamaged facilities.

Bill to block concealed weapon info advances JACKSON — The Mississippi Senate has advanced a bill that would block information about concealed-carry weapons permits from public records, unless a judge orders the release of such information. House Bill 485 passed Wednesday with no debate. The only “no” vote came from Democratic Sen. Derrick Simmons of Greenville, who said the names and addresses of state-issued permit hold-

ers should remain available to the public. A Senate committee added the provision about a court order. The bill returns to the House, which can either accept the change and send it to the governor, or seek negotiations on a final version. Gov. Phil Bryant’s office says the Department of Public Safety has received two recent requests for concealedcarry information, one from a newspaper and another from a blogger.

Lone abortion clinic set for license hearing JACKSON — Mississippi’s only abortion clinic says it is scheduled for an April 18 license revocation hearing before the state Department of Health. The Center for Reproductive Rights said Wednesday that the clinic, Jackson Women’s Health Organization, had received notice of the hearing date. The Health Department told the clinic in late January that it intends to revoke the clinic’s license because the facility had failed to fulfill requirements of a 2012 state law. The law says anyone who does abortions at the clinic must be an OB-GYN with admitting privileges at a Jackson-area hospital. Clinic owner Diane Derzis says no local hospital would grant the privileges to the out-ofstate OB-GYNs who work at the clinic. The facility is allowed to stay open while appealing a possible license revocation.

Appeals panel upholds ruling in tort case JACKSON — Mississippi’s $1 million cap on noneconomic damages for such things as pain and suffering was upheld Wednesday, bringing an end to a woman’s legal efforts to collect the full damages awarded by a jury after a traffic wreck. A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a challenge brought by Lisa Learmonth, who had claimed the cap is unconstitutional. Learmonth sued Sears and Roebuck Co. in 2006 after she was involved in a collision with one of the company’s vans near Philadelphia, Miss. A federal jury in Mississippi in 2008 found Sears was liable for Learmonth’s injuries and awarded $4 million in damages but jurors did not itemize how much of

the award was for noneconomic damages. Learmonth and Sears agreed $2.2 million of the verdict was for noneconomic damages. A federal judge reduced that part of the damages to $1 million, in line with Mississippi law. The three-judge appeals panel ruled Wednesday that the trial judge acted properly. The $1 million cap on noneconomic damages applies to what a jury can award someone for such things as pain and suffering. The limits on damages were adopted by Mississippi lawmakers after years of contentious wrangling over tort changes. Noneconomic damages under Mississippi law do not include punitive damages. There is no cap on damages for economic losses, such as how much the person could have expected to earn in his or her lifetime or for such things as continuing medical expenses. The initial limits on lawsuit awards came in 2002. The law was amended in 2004 amid complaints that the initial changes didn’t go far enough. After the judge reduced Learmonth’s award she appealed, saying the judge usurped the jury’s exclusive sphere. Sears, meanwhile, said the cap was fair and simply altered the permissible legal effect of a jury’s award. The three-judge panel, in a ruling written by Judge Carolyn Dineen King, said Mississippi law “can be interpreted not to alter a jury’s factual damages determination, but instead to impose a strictly legal limitation on the judgment that provides the remedy for a noneconomic injury.”

House OKs list of tax breaks for businesses JACKSON — The Mississippi House has approved tens of millions of dollars’ worth of tax breaks for businesses, but it’s unclear if the proposals will survive the Senate. A top budget writer, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Herb Frierson, estimated Tuesday that the proposed tax breaks would be worth at least $50 million a year and he said that’s a big problem. Frierson, R-Poplarville, said the $5.5 billion state budget is already stretched thin. He said even if legislators spend all the available cash for the fiscal year that

starts July 1, they’d still be $172 million short of paying for critical needs. Taking out another $50 million would put the shortage at $222 million. The House needs to learn to say no to groups that want something, whether it’s more state funding or a lower tax bill, Frierson said. “There’s consequences in politics. You can’t be a narcissistic populist,” he told reporters after the House passed several bills Tuesday. “Populism is wrong, whether it’s liberal or conservative.” But Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jeff Smith, R-Columbus, said he’s not trying to deplete the state coffers by pushing for tax breaks. He said that when businesses get incentives, they create jobs, the economy expands and the state collects more revenue. “Do you think that when we take something out of the general fund we’re not expecting to get something back?” Smith told the House. “Come on, folks. Y’all are good business people.” Smith said the Senate rejected several tax incentives that the House passed in 2012. One of the few that passed both chambers and was signed into law last year was an inventory tax break that was “as weak as a popcorn poot,” Smith said. The House had passed

several tax-break bills earlier this session, including sales tax incentives for hotel renovations and income tax credits for those who employ veterans.

Norwood wins Senate election JACKSON — Former Jackson Public Schools school board member Sollie B. Norwood has defeated former Jackson city councilman Marshand Crisler in a runoff to complete the term of the late state Sen. Sen. Alice Harden. Harden, a Democrat from Jackson, died in December. Complete, but unofficial returns showed Norwood with 54 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s election. He expects to be sworn in by the end of the week. Senate District 28 is located entirely in Hinds County.

Ex-cop pleads guilty to traffic stop crimes ABERDEEN — Jody Mac Rock, a Pontotoc County minister, has pleaded guilty to two civil rights violations while he was an Ecru police officer. Indicted last May, Rock was accused of making two traffic stops on June 7, 2008, and securing cash in lieu of issuing a traffic citation. That action constituted depriving the individuals of their constitutional rights against unreason-

able search and seizure. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports (http://bit.ly/ YYrkwb ) the 35-yearold Rock admitted his actions to the court Tuesday and faces up to one year in prison and $100,000 fine for each offense. Rock remains free on bond while he awaits a sentencing date.

Fraud trial reset for ex-city contractor ABERDEEN — Former Southaven city contractor James Malcolm Harris Jr., who has business ties to Mayor Greg Davis and was recently indicted on bank fraud charges, has had his federal trial reset for Sept. 9. Harris’ attorney, David Hill, asked the court to delay a March 4 trial, saying they needed more time to prepare the case. The Commercial Appeal reports (http://bit. ly/V8CyAvT ) the motion was granted, and now Harris’ jury trial has been set for September in federal court in Aberdeen, Miss., before U.S. Dist. Judge Sharion Aycock. Harris, of Hernando, was indicted on Jan. 30 on two counts of loan and credit application fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. Harris pleaded innocent to the charges. He remains free on a $5,000 bond. Please see STATE | 6

Director earns Trailblazer Award BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

Today is Thursday, Feb. 28, the 59th day of 2013. There are 306 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 28, 1993, a gun battle erupted at a religious compound near Waco, Texas, when Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents tried to arrest Branch Davidian leader David Koresh on weapons charges; four agents and six Davidians were killed as a 51-day standoff began. (The siege ended April 19 as fire erupted while federal agents smashed their way into the compound; Koresh and 78 other people were killed.)

On this date: In 1844, a 12-inch gun aboard the USS Princeton exploded as the ship was sailing on the Potomac River, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas W. Gilmer and several others. In 1861, the Territory of Colorado was organized. In 1911, President William Howard Taft nominated William H. Lewis to be the first black Assistant Attorney General of the United States. In 1942, the heavy cruiser USS Houston and the Australian light cruiser HMAS Perth were attacked by Japanese forces during the World War II Battle of Sunda Strait; both were sunk shortly after midnight. In 1951, the Senate committee headed by Estes Kefauver (ES’-teez KEE’-faw-vuhr), D-Tenn., issued an interim report saying at least two major crime syndicates were operating in the U.S. In 1953, scientists James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick announced they had discovered the double-helix structure of DNA. In 1960, a day after defeating the Soviets at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif., the United States won its first Olympic hockey gold medal by defeating Czechoslovakia’s team, 9-4. In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai issued the Shanghai Communique, which called for normalizing relations between their countries, at the conclusion of Nixon’s historic visit to China. In 1975, more than 40 people were killed in London’s Underground when a subway train smashed into the end of a tunnel. In 1983, the long-running TV series “M-A-S-H” ended after 11 seasons on CBS with a special 2½-hour finale that was watched by an estimated 121.6 million people. In 1986, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was shot to death in central Stockholm. (The killing remains unsolved.) In 1988, the 15th Olympic Winter Games held its closing ceremony in Calgary, Canada.

Ten years ago: NASA released video taken aboard Columbia that had miraculously survived the fiery destruction of the space shuttle with the loss of all seven astronauts; in the footage, four of the crew members can be seen doing routine chores and admiring the view outside the cockpit.

His firsthand experience has guided others in the development of strong CTE programs and projects throughout the state,” he said.

Police chase ends in crash, felony arrest BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@ dailycorinthian.com

A high-speed pursuit through the city of Booneville ended Tuesday with the suspect crashing his car on Carolina Road. Officers attempted to stop Jeffery Blake Cummings, 21, of 74 County Road 8401, Rienzi, at 11:38 a.m. on North Second Street just

south of Northeast Mississippi Community College. Cummings refused to stop and cut through the parking lot of the Subway restaurant at the intersection of North Second and Coach Billy Ward Drive at a high rate of speed and then continued to flee west before turning north on Third Street. Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey said Cummings led officers on a chase through sev-

eral streets in that area and ran through a roadblock at Ninth Street and Chambers Drive before finally ending up on the northern part of Carolina Road, where he crashed just north of the watershed bridge, sending his car deep into the woods off the roadway. Cummings was transported by ambulance to Magnolia Regional Health Center, where he was treated and released to

the custody of the Booneville Police Department. He has been charged with felony fleeing and felony driving under the influence other substance. Bond was set at $20,000 for the felony charges. He also faces multiple misdemeanor charges for traffic violations. Ramey said no one but the suspect was injured in the pursuit and no vehicles other than the suspect’s were damaged.

Air rifle/BB gun rampage ends with felony charges BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

Two 20-year-old Booneville women are each charged with three counts aggravated assault in alleged driveby shootings with an air rifle/BB gun, said Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey. Booneville Police arrested Kerstein L. Jackson of 664 Hwy. 4 West, Booneville, and Ebony N. Garner, 108 Jacinto Heights #1, Booneville, on the aggravated assault charges Feb. 19. “These two young ladies are accused of shooting an individual in the side of the head with an air rifle/BB gun on College Street and are also accused of shooting a female in the leg on Jim Drewry Drive,” he said. The women are also accused of shooting on North Second Street at the Dodge Store. “That individual was hit in the eye and was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital.” “He was later transferred to Jackson, Tenn., to an eye specialist because there was concern about him losing sight in his eye,” Ramey said. The other two individuals struck had mi-

nor flesh wounds. “This appears these two were just out driving around shooting at signs and people with an air rifle/BB gun ... just out being mischievous and now they’ve wound up with three felony charges and in jail on $15,000 bonds apiece,” he said. “We believe both were

Corinth, Miss.

Stereotypes perpetuated by comedian’s attack on state Comedy Central “news” host Jon Stewart’s factually challenged, sloppily reported and downright false attempt at painting all 3 million Mississippians with the same broad brush of backward racism, ignorance and insularity is much like the legal arguments many attempt to make in defending no change whatsoever in Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court is exSid Salter pected to decide the future of Section 5 – which requires that Columnist places in America with a history of preventing or impeding minorities from voting get federal “preclearance” of any changes in election laws or procedures – during arguments scheduled this week. Supporters of Section 5 argue that the dangers of discrimination have not been sufficiently eliminated to remove the protections the Voting Rights Act extended more than a half-century ago. Opponents argue that substantial change has come to the electoral process in those venues and that the Section 5 venues should not be subjected to the expense, trouble and delay that Section 5 exacts on governments in those venues. In short, it’s an argument that “times and circumstances have changed” versus “times and circumstances will never change” in those venues. States included in the “covered jurisdictions” identified by the Voting Rights Act are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. There are also parts of California, Florida, New York, North Carolina and South Dakota as well as some cities in Michigan and New Hampshire that are included. Regardless Mississippi’s laudable status as the state with both the highest percentage of black voters in the country and the largest number of black elected officials, Mississippi election law changes are still subject to Section 5 federal preclearance – just as they are in the rest of the “covered jurisdictions.” Despite those gains, Mississippi still has to absorb the increased costs, delays and trouble of asking the federal government’s permission to conduct our own elections. The argument that Mississippi can never and will never outgrow the need for Section 5 enforcement resonates even louder as Jon Stewart this week became the latest comedian to make Mississippi the target of a routine based on the perpetuation of the stereotype that Mississippi as backward, insular, racist and ignorant. This time, Stewart went after the fact that while Mississippi lawmakers voted unanimously in 1995 to ratify the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, but a mistake in former Secretary of State Dick Molpus’ office led to the ratification paperwork not being delivered to the Office of Federal Register. Because of that, Mississippi’s official ratification of the 13th Amendment didn’t occur until a scholar found the mistake after the film “Lincoln” was shown earlier this year. Stewart pilloried Molpus, then later made an on-air apology to him after it was revealed that Molpus had a long and distinguished record of fighting the good fight on civil rights in Mississippi to his own political detriment. In short, reality often doesn’t matter when the topic of discussion is civil rights in Mississippi. The stereotype blots out reality, obscures it, and makes it difficult for those who want to move the state forward. Stewart’s apology was correct and even a bit magnanimous. But the damage was already done. Many of those same stereotypes will haunt the Section 5 debate in the Supreme Court.

Revisionist historian gives Coolidge new deal BY MICHAEL BARONE For years, most Americans’ vision of history has been shaped by the New Deal historians. Writing soon after Franklin Roosevelt’s death, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and others celebrated his accomplishments and denigrated his opponents. They were gifted writers, and many of their books were bestsellers. And they have persuaded many Americans -- Barack Obama definitely included -- that progress means an ever bigger government In their view, the prosperous 1920s were a binge of mindless frivolity. The Depression of the 1930s was the inevitable hangover, for which FDR administered the cure. That’s one way to see it. But there are others, and no one is doing a better job of making a counter argument than Amity Shlaes, whose 2008 book “The Forgotten Man” painted a different picture of the 1930s. Shlaes agrees that Roosevelt’s initial policies seemed to end the downward deflationary spiral. But then bigger government, higher taxes and aggressive regulation led to further recession and years of achingly slow growth. Sound familiar? Now Shlaes has produced a book tersely titled “Coolidge.” It shows the

30th president in a far different light than the antique reactionary depicted by the New Deal historians. Calvin Coolidge began his political career during the Progressive era, a time of expanding government. But he came to national notice when that era was ending in turmoil. It was a time of revolution in Russia and attempted revolutions elsewhere in Europe, a time of continuing war in parts of the world even after the armistice formally ended World War I. At home, it was a time of unemployment and inflation, of bombs set off before the attorney general’s house and on Wall Street, of labor union strikes in coal and other basic industries. Coolidge was governor of Massachusetts and in charge of the Boston police when they went on strike in September 1919. The cops had legitimate grievances. But the strike was followed by nights of violence, looting and murder. Coolidge fired the striking policemen. He explained why in a telegram to labor leader Samuel Gompers. It concluded, “There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, anytime.” “The time for disruption was over; in order for the next day to be better,” Shlaes writes, “law must be allowed to reign now.”

Coolidge became a national celebrity. The Republican bosses in the smokefilled room picked someone else to be Warren Harding’s running mate. But the convention delegates stampeded and nominated Coolidge. That made Coolidge president on the sudden death of Harding in August 1923. Shlaes tells how he settled into a routine of meeting regularly with the director of the new Bureau of the Budget, paring down spending any way he could. Coolidge’s Republicans had small majorities in Congress, and many favored big new spending programs -- veterans’ bonuses, farm subsidies. Coolidge said no, with vetoes that were sustained. At the same time, he pressed Congress for tax cuts. After Coolidge won a full term in 1924, the top income tax rate was reduced from the wartime 70 percent to 25 percent. An economy that lurched from inflation to recession between 1918 and 1922 suddenly burst into robust economic growth. That helped Coolidge achieve budget surpluses ever year -- surpluses that he used to pay down the national debt. In the summer of 1927, while vacationing in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Coolidge announced, “I do

not choose to run for president in 1928.” All the political indicators suggest he would have won a second full term. And would have been in office when the stock market crashed in October 1929. The New Deal historians depict the prosperity of the Coolidge years as illusory. In their view, the binge would inevitably be followed by the hangover. More recent economic historians have suggested that policy mistakes by the Federal Reserve were the prime cause of the deflationary downward spiral. The onerous Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930 may have been a culprit, too. In any case, the standard of living of millions of Americans improved in the Coolidge years. Automobiles, refrigerators and radios became commonplace. Shlaes doesn’t argue that Coolidge’s policies could or should be replicated today. But she does establish that the 30th president is worthy of more respect than previous historians have accorded him.

Nominee for treasury secretary has rare talent Some guys have it, and some don’t. I’m referring to that special quality that makes powerful institutions want to throw fistfuls of dollars at them in senseless acts of high-priced beneficence. Jack Lew has it like nobody’s business. You might think the bespectacled treasury secretary nominee is just another brainy budget wonk and miss the animal magnetism that makes his employers lose all sense of financial proportion around him, paying him astronomical sums, forgiving his loans and granting him generous golden parachutes. Yes, Jack Lew is a rare talent -- at the art of getting paid. He left the Clinton administration, where he served as director of the Office of Management and Budget, for what turned out to be the extremely lucrative field of nonprofit education. At New York University, he made more than $800,000 in 2002. According to his W-2, examined by staff on Capitol Hill, he made $1.2 million in total compensation in 2006.

Lest you discount these figures as a reflection of the racket that is higher Rich education, Lowery c o n s i d e r that Lew National made more Review than the president of the university, John Sexton. One imagines a sheepish Sexton asking the school’s board why he was making less than the university’s executive vice president for operations and getting back the pained explanation, “Surely, John, you must understand ... it’s because he’s Jack Lew.” Even for Jack Lew, housing in New York City can be expensive. Not to worry. New York University provided him a loan for housing. The universally recognized trouble with loans is that they have to be paid back. Not to worry. All is forgiven if you are Jack Lew. According to Lew, the university forgave the loan of some $1.4 million “in equal installments over five

years.” Upon leaving NYU, Lew received what he describes as “a one-time severance payment upon my departure.” He wasn’t fired, usually the occasion for severances. He simply left and got paid for the act of leaving. Hey, that’s Jack Lew -he gets paid when he stays and gets paid when he goes. He went to Citigroup, where Lew established beyond a doubt his expertise at getting paid. In 2008, as the bank nearly blew up and laid off one-seventh of its employees, Lew ran its disastrous Alternative Investments unit -- and got paid $1.1 million. The bank had to be bailed out by the federal government, but it couldn’t stop paying Jack Lew. Journalist Jonathan Weil of Bloomberg has unearthed Lew’s contract at Citi. It said that he wouldn’t get his “guaranteed incentive and retention award” if he left the company. It made an exception, though, if Lew left to get “a full-time high level position with the United States government or regulatory body.”

Jack Lew being Jack Lew, he didn’t leave Citi for a midlevel government position, or a low-level government position, or even a parttime high-level government position. No, he landed the aforementioned full-time high-level position. He became deputy secretary of state, on his way to resuming his duties at OMB, then becoming the chief of staff to the president, and now secretary of the treasury. And, of course, he got paid. The cynics talk of crony capitalism. The scoffers hint of special favors for the politically connected. The good-government types worry about the unseemliness of a too-big-to-fail Wall Street bank giving one of its executives an incentive to become a high-ranking government official. Maybe they should give it a rest and simply stand back and marvel at the moneymaking machine that is Jack Lew. Lesser mortals criticize and cavil. He gets paid.

Van Cliburn, pianist, Cold War hero, dies FORT WORTH, Texas — For a time in Cold War America, Van Cliburn had all the trappings of a rock star: sold-out concerts, adoring, out-ofcontrol fans and a name recognized worldwide. He even got a ticker-tape parade in New York City. And he did it all with only a piano and some Tchaikovsky concertos. The celebrated pianist played for every American president since Harry Truman, plus royalty and heads of state around the world. But he is best remembered for winning a 1958 piano competition in Moscow that helped thaw the icy rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. Cliburn, who died Wednesday at 78 after fighting bone cancer, was “a great humanitarian and a brilliant musician whose light will continue to shine through his extraordinary legacy,” said his publicist and longtime friend Mary Lou Falcone. “He will be missed by all who knew and admired him, and by countless people he never met.” The young man from the small east Texas town of Kilgore was a baby-faced 23-year-old when he won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow just six months after the Soviets’ launch of Sputnik embarrassed the U.S. and inaugurated the space race. Cliburn returned to a hero’s welcome and the ticker-tape parade — the first ever for a classical musician. A Time magazine cover proclaimed him “The Texan Who Conquered Russia.” But the win also showed the power of the arts, creating unity despite the tension between the superpowers. Music-loving Soviets clamored to see him perform. Premier Nikita Khrushchev reportedly

gave the go-ahead for the judges to honor a foreigner: “Is Cliburn the best? Then give him first prize.” In the years that followed, Cliburn’s popularity soared. He sold out concerts and caused riots when he was spotted in public. His fame even prompted an Elvis Presley fan club to change its name to his. His recording of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 with Russian conductor Kirill Kondrashin became the first classical album to reach platinum status.

Cops: Grandma shot young grandsons, self PRESTON, Conn. — A woman who picked up her two young grandsons from daycare and was supposed to bring them home so the 2-year-old could open his birthday presents instead drove them to a neighboring town and shot and killed the children and herself, state police and family members said. The bodies of 47-yearold Debra Denison and her grandsons, 2-year-old Alton Perry and 6-monthold Ashton Perry, were found Tuesday night in a car parked near Lake of Isles in Preston, in the southeastern part of the state. State police called the deaths a double murdersuicide Wednesday, saying they believe Denison shot the boys and herself. Autopsies were planned. Family members said Denison, the boys’ maternal grandmother, had a history of mental health problems. Marcia White, a paternal great-grandmother of the slain boys, said Denison struggled with bouts of depression but seemed to be doing well lately. The boys’ parents told WVIT-TV that Denison had split personalities and WFSB-TV reported that family members described her as having bipolar disorder. Tuesday was Alton’s second birthday. Denison

picked up the children from their daycare in North Stonington Tuesday afternoon and was supposed to bring them home so Alton could open his presents, family members said. “I wanted him to come home and play with his new toys and have a good day,” Alton’s mother, Brenda Perry, told WVIT-TV. The grandmother was friendly and talkative when she picked up the children and did not give any indication of distress, according to Nikki Salaun, director of the Kidds & Co. daycare center in North Stonington. Salaun and daycare center co-owner Christine Hare said the boys’ mother worked at the daycare center herself a couple years and had mentioned that the grandmother had a history of mental health troubles. They said they keep going over the pickup in their minds but there is nothing they could have done differently.

Ex-BP CEO makes brief cameo at trial NEW ORLEANS — Once the object of ridicule and focus of outrage after the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, BP former chief executive Tony Hayward made a cameo Wednesday at the trial over the disaster, briefly showing up on a videotape in what may be his only appearance in the courtroom. Hayward, who famously said “I’d like my life back” at the height of the spill, isn’t expected to take the witness stand in the high-stakes trial to determine how much more BP and its partners should pay for the spill. While Hayward testified before Congress and gave a videotaped deposition for this trial, his role may be limited here by his lack of direct knowledge of the drilling operations on the Deepwater Horizon. Still, attorneys for the

U.S. government and Gulf Coast residents and businesses showed a 20-minute snippet of his deposition, projecting the video on a large white screen in the courtroom. The attorneys have said the London-based company bears most of the blame for the spill and they accused BP of putting profits ahead of safety by cutting corners on a project that was over budget and behind schedule. “I believe that the role of leaders is very important in shaping the culture of an organization,” Hayward said in the videotape. He also said costcutting measures in the years before the 2010 spill did not have an effect on drilling operations, comments that differed from excerpts of a videotaped deposition from Kevin Lacy, who served as BP’s senior vice president for drilling operations in the Gulf before resigning several months before the spill. Lacy said BP slashed between $250 million and $300 million from its Gulf drilling budget from 2008 to 2009 while at the same time its production rose by more than 50 percent. “I was never given a directive to cut corners or deliver something not safely, but there was tremendous pressure on costs,” Lacy said. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is presiding over the trial designed to identify the causes of BP’s Macondo well blowout and assign percentages of fault to the companies involved. If BP is found guilty of gross negligence, it could be on the hook for nearly $18 billion.

cans exercise their right to vote. In an argument at the court on Wednesday, liberal and conservative justices engaged in a sometimes tense back and forth over whether there is an ongoing need in 2013 for a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The measure requires states with a history of discrimination, mainly in the Deep South, to get approval before making changes in the way elections are held. Chief Justice John Roberts asked the government’s top Supreme Court lawyer whether the Obama administration thinks Southerners “are more racist than citizens in the North.” The answer from Solicitor General Donald Verrilli was no. The question, and others like it from the conservative justices, captured their deep skepticism about whether there remain appreciable differences between the places covered by the law and those that are not. They also questioned whether there was any end in sight for a provision that intrudes on states’ rights to conduct elections and which was regarded as an emergency response to decades of state-sponsored discrimination in voting, despite the Fifteenth Amendment’s guaran-

tee of the vote for black Americans. While the justices and lawyers uniformly praised the effectiveness of the advance approval requirement since it took effect in 1965, Justice Anthony Kennedy said the country passed other important laws that also ran their course. “Times change,” he said. If Kennedy sides with his four more conservative colleagues, there would be a five-justice majority to cut back on the law or get rid of it entirely. The court heard a similar challenge in 2009, and the same doubts about the law surfaced at the argument then. But the court found a way to resolve the case without ruling on the constitutionality of the advance approval requirement or the formula by which Congress decided the places that would be covered. The court’s four liberal justices aggressively questioned Bert Rein, the lawyer representing Shelby County, Ala., in its challenge to the law. Justice Sonia Sotomayor acknowledged some parts of the South had changed, but asserted that recent voting rights lawsuits in Alabama suggested that Shelby County has not made sufficient progress.

HATTIESBURG â€” The IRS and Mississippi Department of Revenue have granted tax-filing extensions to victims of the destructive Feb. 10 tornado that hit the Hattiesburg area. The Hattiesburg American reports residents of Forrest and Lamar counties who were impacted by the tornado have until April 30 to file their taxes this year â€” a little more than two weeks past the usual April 15 deadline. President Barack Obama signed a disaster declaration on Feb. 13 for Forrest and Lamar counties, making the area eligible for federal aid and allowing the IRS to postpone certain deadlines for taxpayers who reside or have a business in the disaster area. IRS spokesman Mark Green said affected residents should indicate in the top upper corner of their tax returns that they were victims of the storm. Â

Feds, state investigate shooting of bald eagle JACKSON â€” A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whomeverâ€™s responsible for the shooting of a bald eagle in Neshoba County. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks say the eagle was discovered on the Nanih Waiya Wildlife Management Area near the Coy community in Neshoba County. The eagle was shot sometime between Dec. 1 and Dec. 9. X-rays performed on the eagle confirmed that the bird had multiple shot shell pellet wounds in its wings, leg and eye. Authorities say the bald eagle had to be euthanized because of its severe injuries. The reward is being offered by USFWS, the Humane Society of the United States and the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust. Bald eagles are protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, both federal and state wildlife statutes. Violations of those

acts carry maximum criminal penalties of up to $100,000 and a year in federal prison. Anyone with information is asked to contact the USFWSâ€™s Jackson Office of Law Enforcement at 601-331-0292 or call the MDWFP Law Enforcement Bureau at 601-432-2074. Â

JACKSON â€” A former federal prison guard has been sentenced to more than a year in prison for taking a $5,000 bribe and bringing in contraband. The U.S. Attorneyâ€™s office says in a news release that 38-year-old Robert Kale Johnson of Bentonia was sentenced in U.S. District Court Tuesday. Johnson was an officer at the Yazoo Federal Correction Complex. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release. Â

sinos â€” Harlowâ€™s Casino Resort and Trop Casino Greenville. The city also has an agreement with the Greenville Public School District to share casino revenue with the district by paying them 14.2 percent, which equals about $162,590 a year. Some city officials have expressed concern about the depleting casino revenue funds. Councilwoman Ann Hollowell said the city is approving almost every grant and project, thinking that the funds are there to be spent. She said while the casino money was set aside, the remainder of the budget is tight. â€œWe are running out of money,â€? she said. â€œThis is a grave concern for me.â€? The city spent $8,000 from the casino funds after the cityâ€™s fleet building was damaged in the Oct. 17 storm, external financial consultant Steve Osso said. Â

Concerns raised about casino revenue

Vicksburg police want semi-automatic guns

GREENVILLE â€” The city of Greenville has about $12,000 remaining from the $1.6 million in casino revenue budgeted this fiscal year. The Delta Democrat Times reports that in previous years the city used other tax revenue or borrowed money for day-to-day operations and various repairs. For the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, 2012, the city decided to use $1.6 million in casino revenue for capital expenditures and to match grants. The city also had $358,000 in casino revenue left over from the previous year. Greenville has two ca-

VICKSBURG â€” Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong is looking to buy AR-15 or AK-47-type assault rifles for his department. Armstrong says heâ€™s trying to put his officers on par with suspects who might have more powerful weapons. The Vicksburg Post reports that city officials this week agreed to advertise for bids for semiautomatic weapons and magazines. Officials say money for the weapons will come from the sale of 200 weapons seized or recovered by police and money left from a recent arms sale.

But the Veterans of Foreign War and other groups say that ranking it ahead of the Bronze Star and Purple Heart is an injustice to those who served on the front-lines. Â

â€œThe health care industry fears the alternative more than they fear a predictable reduction in rates,â€? said Dan Mendelson, president of Avalere Health, a market analysis firm. â€œThey just do not want to roll the dice. That is why you do not hear as much of an outcry on Medicare.â€? The budget machinations come at a time when the threat that the government will be overwhelmed by surging health costs seems less immediate. Taking care of aging baby boomers is still a huge challenge, but health care inflation has slowed dramatically in the last few years, leading government number crunchers to scale back their estimates of future costs.

Father of victim: Ban assault weapons WASHINGTON â€” After weeks of arguing constitutional fine points and citing rival statistics, senators wrangling over gun control saw and heard the anguish of a bereft father. Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son, Jesse, was among those cut down at a Connecticut elementary school in December, asked the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday to ban assault weapons like the one that killed his child. â€œIâ€™m not here for the sympathy or the pat on the back,â€? Heslin, a 50-year-old construction worker, told the senators, weeping openly during much of his hushed 11-minute testimony. â€œIâ€™m here to speak up for my son.â€? At his side were photos: of his son as a baby, of them both taken on Fatherâ€™s Day, six months before Jesse was among 20 first-graders and six administrators killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. That massacre has hoisted gun control to a primary political issue this year, though the outcome remains

uncertain. The hearingâ€™s focus was legislation by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to ban assault weapons and ammunition magazines carrying more than 10 rounds. A Bushmaster assault weapon was used at Newtown by the attacker, Adam Lanza, whose body was found with 30-round magazines. Feinstein said such a firearm â€œtears peoplesâ€™ bodies apart. I donâ€™t know why as a matter of public policy we canâ€™t say they donâ€™t belong.â€?â€™ Â

Lawmakers, vet groups panning new medal WASHINGTON â€” The militaryâ€™s new medal for cyber warriors should get a demotion, according to veterans groups and lawmakers who say it shouldnâ€™t outrank such revered honors as the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. The Distinguished Warfare Medal, announced by the Defense Department two weeks ago, is a sign of the changing nature of war, in which attacks conducted remotely have played an increasingly important role in gathering intelligence and killing enemy fighters and terrorists. It will recognize extraordinary achievement related to a military operation occurring after Sept. 11, 2001.

No ruckus about Medicare cuts WASHINGTON â€” Hospitals, doctors and other Medicare providers are on the hook for a 2 percent cut under looming government spending reductions. But theyâ€™re not raising a ruckus. Why? The pain could be a lot worse if President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans actually did reach a sweeping agreement to reduce federal deficits. Automatic cuts taking effect Friday â€” the â€œsequesterâ€? in Washingtonspeak â€” would reduce Medicare spending by about $100 billion over a decade. But Obama had put on the table $400 billion in health care cuts, mainly from Medicare. And Republicans wanted more. â€œWhat people were really worried about was the prospect of a huge deficit bill that could target Medicare for $400 billion or $500 billion,â€? said John Rother, president of the National Coalition on Health Care, an umbrella group that includes service providers.

Senate Demsâ€™ bill light on deficit cuts in 2013 WASHINGTON â€” White House-backed legislation in the Senate to replace $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts would result in very modest deficit savings through the end of the budget year, officials said Wednesday, most if not of all of them through higher taxes on millionaires. Instead, the bill drafted by Senate Democrats would spread one yearâ€™s worth of anticipated sav-

God bless conservationists who are saving the future Named for the red wolves that used to roam our woods, the Wolf River rises out of Baker’s Pond in Mississippi’s Holly Springs National Forest. It winds about for 90 miles until it flows into the Mississippi on Memphis’ northern edge. Ryland But when Bruhwiler I was a kid, the Wolf, Columnist despite its name, was not a romantic place, not even in my mind’s eye. We drove across it when we’d head up to Fraser from Midtown Memphis. The long bridge spanned a desolate mess of scrubby marsh set in an industrial wasteland. And the downtown arm of that river was so polluted that it was known as the Big Stink. So many chemicals had been dumped into the Wolf by local businesses and factories that in 1970, the poor thing was pronounced dead. In 1972, Congress passed the Clean Water Act, and today it is once again sweet smelling and beauti-

The Wolf River’s origin is Baker’s Pond in Holly Springs National Forest near Walnut. ful to paddle a canoe along. But don’t take your fishing pole. Enmeshed in the riverbed are mercury, lead, and PCP’s as well as other poisons like chlordane and dioxin that will never break down. Eat a fish that swims in those waters and you’re likely to be chomping on a mouthful of carcinogens. Though they stopped the industrial dumping, pollution continues to be a problem. Check out the litter clogging the gutter grates along our cities’ streets and imagine how much of that goes straight into the nearest creeks and rivers. (Street water is not filtered.) Plastic bags and plastic bottles and broken glass. Pesticides and herbicides and engine oils. And worst of all, the precious topsoil that we

disturb every time we plow a field or dig a ditch. The Wolf has always been for me an almost invisible river. It meandered and diddled about, more swamp than a “real” river. And when it flooded, it did not flood magnificently — like the Mississippi — but inconveniently. Awhile back, longtime Memphis friends of mine joined the Wolf River Conservancy in its effort to preserve the wetlands. I was sure it was all worthwhile, but when I heard “Wolf River,” I still thought “swamps.” (Muddy. Sluggish. Mosquitoes.) I’ve never been much drawn to swamps. But listening to the Conservancy’s Director of Education Cathy Justis at the

last meeting of the Corinth Auduboners, was an eye opener. Boy oh boy, have I changed my mind about swamps. Back in the 60s, she said, we “channelized” large sections of the Wolf, making it run straight (more or less) and digging it deep enough to keep it from flooding. Here’s the obvious problem. The waters run faster through the deep, straight channels and erode the banks, especially in this part of the country with our soft soils. That means, for instance, we have to constantly rebuild and extend the bridges and the electrical poles alongside them. But the problems that are not as obvious are even more serious. When the wetlands dry

up, invasive privet springs up, destroying the bottomland hardwood forests that grew here for centuries. This is because the saplings can’t survive in the thick shade of those shrubby evergreens. That’s bad enough. What drying up the wetlands does to the water table is worse. Memphis and its environs lie over a huge aquifer with some of the best and purest water in the world. An aquifer is not an underground lake (which is how I imagined it as a child), but immense layers of wet sand sandwiched between layers of clay. The clay helps to purify the water as it trickles through, and since the clay is heavy, that makes the water easier to pump up and out for hundreds of thousands of people to drink and use. What part do the wetlands play in all of this? A single acre of wetlands can hold a million gallons of water. Instead of letting all that water rush along a channel into the Mississippi and on out into the ocean, wetlands slow the run-off down, giving the rain water time to sink into the earth and, eventually, into the aquifer beneath. As the population grows

and Memphis continues to spread east, I’m also grateful for the folks who care enough to preserve the natural beauty of those wetlands. The great cypress with their elephant feet and feathery foliage that live for hundreds of years. Water loving plants like the brilliant cardinal flowers. Great blue herons and green tree frogs. The Wolf River Conservancy has built boardwalks through the swamps. They teach city kids to canoe and raft and hike. And they’re building the Wolf River Greenway piece by piece so that one day folks can walk or ride a bike all the way from Collierville to the banks of the Mississippi. We will bless them when the bad days come, remembering that — like Pharaoh who heeded Joseph’s warning — they took care of what we have, shoring up against the years of drought.

‘Sweetheart, it’s awfully hot down here’ causes quite a shock BY JIMMY REED Columnist

To college students, I emphasize constantly my conviction that the No. 1 asset they will gain from their studies is the ability to communicate effectively and efficiently. Rachel, an excellent student in my creative writing course, asked, “Shouldn’t you include ‘correctly’ and ‘accurately’ too? We have all heard of instances in which ambiguous communications led to unintended — and sometimes disastrous — consequences. In fact, you explained recently how double entendres, gaffes, and mixed metaphors sometimes communicate

the opposite of an intended message.” “Well, Rachel, since you profess to be the most creative person in the class (which she was), I want you to come to our next meeting with a piece of communication that does just that. In fact, I want all of you to do the same thing.” Whether Rachel’s story was her own creation or not, I will never know, but of all the submissions in the next meeting, it won, hands-down. Following is what she wrote: Dreading another winter season of snow, blizzards, and freezing temperatures, Fred and Alice, a retired couple in the hin-

terlands of North Dakota, discussed spending the winter strolling the beaches of Florida, the Sunshine State. “We’ve been frugal all our lives and have accumulated a huge savings account, so we can certainly afford the trip,” Alice said. “I agree,” Fred responded. “Here’s a great idea: Let’s rent the same little bungalow we stayed in when we honeymooned in Florida many years ago.” “What a great idea!” Alice exclaimed. “I love you, dearest. In all these many years together, you’ve never lost your romantic nature.” Unfortunately, their only daughter became seriously

ill, and because she had no one to care for her, Alice urged Fred to leave for Florida and make all the necessary arrangements for their stay. As soon as the daughter recovered, she would join him. Thankfully, the bungalow was available, and had been well maintained. On the outside, it was the same, just as Fred remembered it, but its owners had modernized the interior. One accessory not available during the honeymoon was a computer. Wanting to assure his wife that he had arrived safely, Fred decided to send her an email. Inadvertently, he omitted a letter in the

address, and pressed the send button. The message flew through cyberspace … not to his wife, but to a woman in Nebraska. She was a widow, whose loving husband’s earthly race ended abruptly following a heart attack, and had just returned home from the funeral. Expecting messages of condolence, she checked her email. Upon reading the miss-sent message from Florida, she collapsed in a swoon. At that very moment, her son came by to comfort his bereaved mother, and found her sprawled on the floor. Checking the computer, he read the email

that had rendered the poor woman unconscious: “Sweetheart, I made the trip safely. Everything is prepared for your arrival. I hope you join me soon. With all my love, I am your faithful husband, Fred. “P.S.: It’s awfully hot down here.” ■■■

Going undercover in ‘Snitch’ remains a deadly game for Johnson’s character Snitch, PG-13,****, length — 112 minutes John Matthews (Dwayne Johnson) demands to be a “snitch” in order to help his son. The movie “Snitch” is based on a true story. This is the best performance by Dwayne Johnson I have viewed. Not only does he do a great job, but the story is extremely interesting and fast-paced. I met Dwayne Johnson at the courthouse in Selmer, Tenn. when he was promoting the Buford Pusser movie remake of “Walking Tall.” However, I have never been a big fan of his until this film. Johnson gives a realis-

Johanne Keeghan (Susan Sarandon) is the federal prosecutor who has her eye set on higher ambitions. John Matthews decides to take the situation into his own hands.

Through a connection with an employee who works for him, he orchestrates an extremely dangerous situation in order to get enough evidence to arrest the drug kingpin. He gets in so deep his problems reach all the way to the cartel. At this point, the action and suspense are kicked

up several notches. It never lets up until the final scene. Determined to save his son at all costs, Matthews risks everything, including his own family and his own life. “Snitch” shows how in just a quick moment worlds can be changed forever. I recommend “Snitch” for a very interesting story with tense action and an intense meeting with the bad guys. (Daily Corinthian col-

THE JUDGMENT

The moral decline in our nation seems to indicate that people no longer believe there will be a judgment. The day of judgment is real because it is taught in the Bible. “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (Eccl 12:14). Christ also speaks of the judgment. “The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here” (Matt 12:41). The Bible plainly teaches that all of us will be present for the judgment. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Heb 9:27). “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Cor 5:10). The greatest crowd that has ever been assembled will be present at the judgment. “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats” (Matt 25:32). All nations will be present at the judgment. All will be judged by the word of the Lord. “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” ( John 12:48). Only faithful Christians will be prepared for the judgment. The judgment will be based on the law under which we live. Two different verdicts will be rendered at the judgment. “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal” (Matt 25:46). Some will be invited to come while others will be told to depart. “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels”(Matt 25:41). Which will the Lord say to us at the judgment?

One of the worldâ€™s largest engineering, construction and maintenance companies. Its government segment is primarily focused on the departments of Energy, Defense and Homeland Security.

The trade association estimates that the proposed budget cuts could result in the cancellation of more than $4 billion worth of federal projects over the next seven months. That could include everything from projects in military facilities overseas to maintenance, environmental cleanup, infrastructure and civil works projects in the U.S. â€“ a wide swath of potential business for many companies. Here are three that could lose business under the planned budget cuts.

Lucrative federal government contracts are the lifeblood of many companies, large and small. A slate of federal budget cuts known as the â€œsequesterâ€? are due to kick in automatically on Friday with the aim of reducing spending by $85 billion. The construction industry is preparing itself because construction spending makes up about 10 percent of the total federal discretionary budget, according to the Associated General Contractors of America.

Bookseller update Wall Street will tune in today for an update on how Barnes & Nobleâ€™s bookstores and its Nook digital business are faring. The company is scheduled to report earnings for its third fiscal quarter. Analysts expect earnings and revenue declined from the same period a year earlier. The report comes just days after founder and Chairman Leonard Riggio said he wants to buy the companyâ€™s bookstore and website unit.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian “Respecting the past, working for today and planning for the future ... Local Businesses share their success stories.” — See this special section coming Sunday

Man begins to regret giving his former wife place to stay DEAR ABBY: My ex-wife cheated on me five years ago. She ran off with a nonworking criminal type and has been bouncing from place to place with this bozo ever since. When they and their 3-yearold became homeless two weeks ago, all of a sudden she showed up at my door shoeless and with their son in a diaper. She said her boyfriend was abusive and asked to stay with me until she finds a place. I agreed under the provision that she not see this guy. I am a hard-working single father of two. I know my heart is two sizes too big for my own good sometimes, and I don’t want to be taken advantage of. Abby, did I make the right choice? Or should I have told her she was not welcome and turned her and her son away? I really feel I shouldn’t have to help her, and she should rely on her loser boyfriend — who she has started seeing again. I need guidance and your expert advice. Am I an idiot? — CONFUSED DEAR CONFUSED: You’re not an idiot; you’re a pushover. Your ex has already broken the agreement she made when you let her in. The situation is not going to get better; it will only become more complicated. You have helped her for two weeks. Now it’s time to direct her to a shelter that can help her get her life back together

and give her son a stable home. Your responsibility for her welfare ended when she left you for anAbigail other man. D E A R Van Buren ABBY: I just finished Dear Abby reading the letter from “Cafe Crazy” (Jan. 4), about the woman changing the baby on the restaurant’s table. You advised that she should have taken the baby to the ladies’ room to change it on a changing table there, and if there wasn’t one, there should be. I am a stay-at-home father and many times have had to resort to an awkward changing table alternative to accomplish the task (though never a restaurant table) as there are very few changing tables in men’s rooms. In these dynamic, diverse and changing economic times, the ability to stay home and raise my children has been awesome, and I would do it over again in a heartbeat. It has been hard, however, because society still assumes that raising children is a woman’s job. Not only should there have been a changing table in the ladies’ room, but also one in the men’s room. Abby, please help us proud papas to raise our children with the

same facilities allowed the mommas of the world! — GRANT IN SUNNYVALE, CALIF. DEAR GRANT: I apologize, and I’m glad to have the opportunity to not only help fathers everywhere to raise their children, but also to raise consciousness where it is needed. Since the letter from “Cafe Crazy” was printed, I have heard from parents of both sexes, as far away as Denmark. Although some men’s restrooms are equipped with changing tables, not all are -- and they should be. Another solution is a “family” restroom; however, many establishments have neither the money nor the room to install a third one. DEAR ABBY: Something has been bothering me and I’d like your opinion. If a group of people goes out to eat together, and no one wants to order dessert except one person, is it rude for that person to keep everyone else waiting and watching while he/she orders and eats the dessert? — CHECK, PLEASE DEAR CHECK, PLEASE: It’s not rude if you first ask the others in the group if they would mind, and they wanted to chat over coffee.

ELIJAH JOHNSON, KANSAS In one of the finest single-game performances by any player this season, Johnson torched Iowa State for a career-high 39 points in Monday night’s thrilling 108–96 overtime win in Ames. A senior guard from Las Vegas whose previous season high was 18 points, Johnson hit 13-of-22 from the field, 6-of-10 from 3point range and 7-of-7 from the foul line.

OTTO PORTER, GEORGETOWN Porter scored a career-high 33 points to lead Georgetown to a 57–46 win at Syracuse. Porter, a sophomore forward, scored 57.9 percent of his team’s points and was responsible for 12 of the Hoyas’ 19 field goals. With Syracuse headed to the ACC next season, this was the last game between these two rivals at the Carrier Dome as members of the same league. JARNELL STOKES, TENNESSEE Stokes continued his strong play in the paint for the surging Volunteers, scoring 20 points and pulling down 16 boards in Tennessee’s 93–85 quadruple-overtime win at Texas A&M. Stokes and guards Trae Golden (32 points) and Jordan McRae (23 points) combined to score 75 of the Volunteers’ 93 points. REGGIE BULLOCK, NORTH CAROLINA Bullock scored 22 points (thanks in part to five 3-point field goals) and tied a career high with 13 rebounds to help North Carolina beat rival NC State 76–65 in Chapel Hill. UNC avenged a late-January loss at NC State — in a game in which the Heels trailed by 28 points in the second half — and avoided its first season sweep at the hands of the Wolfpack in a decade. JULIUS MAYS, KENTUCKY On a team loaded with McDonald’s All-Americans and future first-round NBA Draft picks, it was Mays who came through in the big moments on Saturday night. A fifth-year senior who is playing for his third school, Mays scored a season-high 24 points, including eight in overtime, to help Kentucky post a much-needed 90–83 win over Missouri at Rupp Arena. SHABAZZ NAPIER, UCONN Two days after scoring 27 points while playing all 45 minutes in UConn’s 73–66 overtime win over Cincinnati, Napier poured in a Big East career-high 28 points and grabbed seven boards as the Huskies held off DePaul 81–69 on the road. In the two games, Napier connected on 15-of-27 shots from the field, including 11-of16 from 3-point range. MARSHALL HENDERSON, OLE MISS Coming off the bench for the first time this season — in what was called a “coach’s decision” — Henderson scored 28 points (19 in the first half) to lead Ole Miss to an 88–55 win over Auburn. Henderson, the SEC’s leading scorer (19.7 ppg), tied a single-game school record by hitting eight 3-pointers (on 12 attempts). TREY BURKE, MICHIGAN Burke played a near-perfect game at the point as Michigan topped Illinois 71–58 in Ann Arbor. The sophomore point guard scored 26 points (on 8-of-11 shooting) and had eight assists with only one turnover. Burke has scored 15 points or more in all but three games this season. MASON PLUMLEE, DUKE Freshman Rasheed Sulaimon was the Blue Devils’ top scorer (27 points), but Plumlee dominated the paint with 19 points and 15 rebounds to help Duke roll past Boston College 89–68. Plumlee only converted four field goals, but hit 11-of-15 from the foul line en route to his fourth double-double in the last five games. AARON CRAFT, OHIO STATE Known more for his work on the defensive end of the floor, Craft shined with the ball in his hands on Sunday, scoring a career-high 21 points as Ohio State topped Michigan State 68–60 in Columbus. The junior point guard hit 7-of-12 from the field and 7-of-8 from the foul line, and also handed out six assists.

Bruce Schwartzman

KENDALL WILLIAMS, NEW MEXICO Williams set a Mountain West Conference record by sinking 10 3-pointers (in 13 attempts) en route to a career-high 46 points in New Mexico’s key 91–82 win at Colorado State. The junior guard scored 15 points in the final six minutes as the Lobos turned a six-point deficit into a nine-point victory. Williams’ previous career high was 24 points, and he had not scored more than 16 points in his last 12 games.

Hoosiers lead the nation in offensive efficiency. Burke was at his best in big win over Illinois. Zags a strong contender for their first No. 1 seed. Hoyas have road wins over ND, Cincinnati and Syracuse. Hurricanes still control their own destiny in the ACC. Sulaimon erupts for 27 as Devils dominate BC. Parrom scores a season-high 19 points vs. Wazzu. Gators closing on fourth-ever outright SEC title. Tough week for MSU ends with a loss in Columbus. KU holds TCU to nine first-half points in payback win. Orange have lost five of their last nine. Tough closing stretch (SU, Cincy, ND) awaits the Cards. Wildcats eyeing first league title since 1977. Almost a quarter of Pokes’ points come from FT line. Craft shines as Buckeyes make a statement vs. Sparty. Lobos seize control of MWC with huge win at CSU. Big East title hopes alive after win over Syracuse. Tigers appear headed toward a 16–0 run through C-USA. Badgers haven’t lost a game in regulation since Jan. 29. Billikens all alone in first place in the Atlantic 10. Cooley averaging a double-double for steady Irish. Panthers’ leading scorer averaging only 10.9 ppg. Rams have two players averaging over 9.0 boards. Bulldogs finding A-10 grind a bit tougher than Horizon. Kevin Ollie proving he is the right man for the job.

Who is Indiana’s best player? Who is Indiana’s best player? David Fox: That’s a loaded question, isn’t it? I suppose Cody Zeller is the Hoosiers’ “best player.” The NBA Draft experts and advanced statistics seem to agree. But I can’t overlook the leap Victor Oladipo has taken this season. He’d be my vote for most valuable. Indiana wouldn’t be the same team without the impact he’s made on both ends of the court. He’s the most efficient offensive player on the nation’s most efficient offense. He’s the game-turning, dynamic playmaker on one of the best up-tempo, dynamic offenses in the country, and he’ll be among the top vote-getters for National Defensive Player of the Year by leading the Big Ten in steals. Nathan Rush: Cody Zeller may not have a high-flying highlight reel like Victor Oladipo, but the 7-foot sophomore from Washington, Ind., is the Hoosiers’ best player this season. In fact, Zeller is one of the more important players ever to wear candystriped warm-up pants in IU’s rich basketball history. When the 5-star Zeller signed with Indiana — instead of his brother’s alma mater, North Carolina, or in-state upstart Butler — it signaled the beginning of a new era and the return of national championship expectations in Bloomington. Since then, Zeller has delivered, carrying the Hoosiers to a No. 1 ranking. He has been so good and so consistent during his two seasons that his talents are now being taken for granted. But make no mistake, Zeller is the foundation piece on which Tom Crean’s team is built. Mitch Light: Victor Oladipo is perhaps the most improved player in the country and no doubt one of the most exciting talents in college basketball, but I still maintain Cody Zeller is Indiana’s best player. The big man leads the team in both scoring (16.6 ppg) and rebounding (8.1 rpg) and provides the Hoosiers with a scoring threat on the low block. Zeller is shooting a solid 58.8 percent from the floor and leads the Big Ten in both free throws made (5.4) and attempted (7.2) per game. And while he isn’t an elite shot-blocker,

Forward Cody Zeller was a popular pick for preseason National Player of the Year, but many believe that Victor Oladipo (above) is actually the Hoosiers’ best player.

he does provide a defensive presence around the basket. Zeller, with his ability to affect the game from such an important position, is the best player on the best team in the nation. How many SEC teams will make the NCAA Tournament? David Fox: The SEC is flirting with sending only two teams to the NCAA Tournament — Florida and Missouri. But the league should find a way to send four to the field. Kentucky’s win over Missouri can’t be underestimated as the Wildcats try to make the case they’re a Tourney team without Nerlens Noel. Ole Miss is still sitting on the bubble, and Tennessee is putting its name into the discussion. I also wouldn’t be shocked to see something crazy happen at the SEC Tournament in

Nashville. Florida’s not invincible, especially outside of Gainesville. Missouri and Kentucky are vulnerable. Somehow, the selection committee is going to have to find 68 teams to put in this Tournament, and the SEC should be able to send four to the field. Mitch Light: The SEC is going to be fascinating to watch over the final few weeks of the season. If the season ended today, Florida and Missouri might be the only two teams from the league to make the NCAA Tournament. There are three other teams in the mix — Kentucky, Ole Miss and Tennessee — and all three have similar résumés. We’ll know a lot more about each of these teams in a week, but right now, my guess is that three SEC teams will make the field — Florida, Missouri and … Tennessee.

SATURDAY, MARCH 2 LOUISVILLE AT SYRACUSE It’s a huge game between two Big East powers that will soon be making the move to the ACC. Syracuse handed Louisville its only loss at home this season when these two teams met in midJanuary, but the Orange haven’t been playing their best ball of late. On Monday, they dropped a 74–71 decision at Marquette to fall to 10–5 in the league. MIAMI AT DUKE Miami’s run at a perfect ACC record ended at Wake Forest, but the Hurricanes are still in control of the league race. Jim Larranaga’s club is two games up on Duke and can clinch the school’s first-ever outright conference title with a win at Cameron Indoor Stadium. And while that seems like a tall task, don’t forget that Miami won at Duke in overtime last February. WICHITA STATE AT CREIGHTON Creighton raced out of the gates with a 17–1 record, but the Bluejays are only 5–7 since and now find themselves in desperate need of a quality win. Wichita State hit a rough spot in late January/early February with consecutive losses to Indiana State, Northern Iowa and Southern Illinois but has since won five straight and is all alone in first place in the Missouri Valley. The Shockers will clinch the outright title with a win over Creighton. ARIZONA AT UCLA UCLA played arguably its finest game of the season when these two teams met in Tucson in late January. The Bruins beat Arizona 84–73 but went on to lose three of its next five games. They’ve since recovered and now find themselves in a three-way tie with Arizona and Oregon in the loss column atop the Pac-12 standings. Arizona has been very good away from home this season, with a 7–2 record in true road games and a 3–0 mark on a neutral court. BUTLER AT VCU Saint Louis has grabbed control of the A-10 race, but Butler and VCU aren’t far behind. The key to beating VCU is taking care of the ball — the Rams force a turnover on 29.1 percent of their opponents’ possessions — but the Bulldogs have struggled in that area in their first season in the A-10. In league games, Butler is committing a turnover on 20.3 percent of its possessions, which ranks 10th in the conference. The Bulldogs’ guards will have to be at their best to handle VCU’s pressure. KENTUCKY AT ARKANSAS Kentucky took a step in the right direction with a win over Missouri last Saturday night. The Wildcats, however, still need to add some quality wins to their NCAA Tournament résumé. And while beating Arkansas might be not be a quality win from an RPI standpoint (the Hogs are No. 77), any win at Bud Walton Arena is a good win. The Razorbacks, with three top-40 RPI wins, are on the fringe of the bubble. COLORADO AT CALIFORNIA California has quietly won five straight games and now finds itself in position to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. And with a favorable closing schedule — all three games are at home — the Golden Bears might steal a share of the Pac-12 regular-season title. Colorado will be tested down the stretch, with road games at Cal and Stanford and a home date with Oregon. MICHIGAN STATE AT MICHIGAN (SUN.) Michigan will be eager to avenge a humbling 75–52 loss in East Lansing in mid-February. The Wolverines haven’t lost since that game, while Michigan State has lost two of three. Both teams need a win to keep pace with Big Ten-leading Indiana. The loser will be all but eliminated from the title chase. Both teams, however, have a realistic chance to reach the Final Four.

Gonzaga aims at No. 1 ranking after Indiana’s loss The Associated Press

SPOKANE, Wash.— Second-ranked Gonzaga’s game at BYU on Thursday suddenly has national significance. With No. 1 Indiana losing to Minnesota on Tuesday, the Zags might reach the top of the AP basketball poll Monday if they can beat BYU then defeat Portland on Saturday. “It’s an unbelievable feeling to be part of such a team that has accomplished so much up to this point,” forward Elias Harris said earlier this week.

“It makes me proud.” The feat would be unprecedented for the midmajor program from the small Jesuit college in Spokane. While Gonzaga has been running with the elite teams in the nation for more than a decade, few in Spokane dreamed that coach Mark Few’s gang could ever be No. 1. “It’s special ... that people see you in that light at the top of the nation,” guard Mike Hart said. Gonzaga (27-2, 14-0 WCC) beat BYU 83-63 last month in Spokane. But

the Bulldogs lost last year in Provo, where more than 20,000 fans make for a tough environment “This one’s going to be a huge challenge,” Hart said. “The crowd and their atmosphere down there is really unbelievable. ... They are going to be rowdy and into it.” Gonzaga has played before plenty of big crowds this season, including games at Oklahoma State, Washington State and Butler. “We function very well in that type of environ-

ment,” Few said. A victory at BYU would give Gonzaga the WCC regular season title outright. The Cougars (20-9, 9-5) need a signature win to make a case for an invitation to the NCAA tournament. If the Zags beat BYU, their final regular-season game is at home Saturday against Portland (11-19, 4-10), an opponent they beat by 22 points on the road earlier this season. This Gonzaga team was pegged as special from the preseason, largely because

of Harris and returning guards Kevin Pangos and Gary Bell Jr. The surprise has been the emergence of junior center Kelly Olynyk, who redshirted last season after two undistinguished years on the team. The 7-foot Olynyk is averaging more than 17 points and 6 rebounds per game, shooting 66 percent from the field and thrilling crowds with acrobatic dunks. Hart brings defensive energy, and the Zags get strong bench play from forward Sam Dower and

guard David Stockton, the son of Gonzaga great John Stockton. The team has a strong international flavor. Harris is from Germany, while Pangos and Olynyk are Canadians. The Bulldogs opened the season with nine straight wins, lost at home to Illinois, then reeled off eight more victories. They had a last-second defeat at Butler and since then have ripped off 10 wins in a row, never giving up more than 63 points in any of those games.

Lady Tigers 49ers’ QB Smith goes to Chiefs move into title game The Associated Press

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Northeast Lady Tigers took a 36-21 lead at the break and cruised to a 68-49 win over Jones County on Wednesday in the semifinals of the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges State Tournament. Northeast, which beat Gulf Coast in opening-round action on Monday, will play either Copiah Lincoln or Itawamba in Thursday’s title match at Pearl River. Tip-off is set for 5 p.m. The Lady Tigers (14-10) never trailed against the No. 4 seed from the South Division. Jones County beat NEMCC 76-73 in the teams’ only other meeting this season on Nov. 12 in Ellisville. Northeast took its biggest lead of 26 with 6:41 remaining in the contest. The Lady Tigers didn’t score from the floor over the final 9:45, but hit 14-of18 from the line over the final minutes in finishing the contest an impressive 25-of-33. Belmont’s Angelia Allen paced NE with a game-high 25, going 8-of-12 from the floor and 9-of-14 from the line. Kossuth’s Katie Garvin had a gamehigh 11 rebounds to go along with a game-high tying four assists. Caitlyn Spain paced the Lady Bobcats with 12 points. Northeast finished with a 40-30 edge in rebounds. After failing to win a postseason game since the 2006-07 season, the Lady Tigers have put together consecutive wins and are one victory away from a state championship.

SAN FRANCISCO — Alex Smith quietly stayed behind the scenes after losing his job and watched from the sideline as San Francisco returned to the Super Bowl for the first time in 18 years. Yet the No. 1 overall draft pick from 2005 did make one thing known: The veteran quarterback still considers himself a starter. And he hoped to get that chance again. Now, he appears to have it. The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to acquire Smith from the 49ers in the first major acquisition since Andy Reid took over as the team’s

new coach in early January, a person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal cannot become official until March 12, when the NFL’s new business year begins. Another person familiar with the swap said the 49ers will get a second-round pick in April’s draft, No. 34 overall, and a conditional pick in the 2014 draft. After spending his first eight up-and-down years with the 49ers, Smith will get a welcome new start. The Chiefs will get the proven

play-caller they hope can help turn things around under a new coach much the way Smith did under Jim Harbaugh in San Francisco. “You never know when your opportunity’s going to come,” Smith said late in the season. “The good ones are ready when they do come.” The Chiefs have gone this route before, acquiring Joe Montana from the 49ers nearly 20 years ago, in April 1993, after he won four Super Bowls but gave way to Steve Young — San Francisco’s quarterback of the future. Not so different from Smith’s situation last season

behind second-year QB Colin Kaepernick. Moving Smith was hardly unexpected. He realized it once Kaepernick emerged as a starter over the season’s final two months, and Smith all but said goodbye with his first pro team when he played in the regular-season finale to cheers of “Let’s Go, Alex!” and “Alex! Alex!” from the Candlestick Park crowd. With Smith now headed for Kansas City, Matt Cassel is likely headed out of town. And Reid will enter his first draft as Chiefs coach in April no longer needing to search for a quarterback.

NCAA lists benefits Shapiro provided The Associated Press

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The NCAA is alleging that former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro was responsible for providing about $170,000 in impermissible benefits to Hurricanes athletes, recruits, coaches and others between 2002 and 2010. Shapiro allegedly spent more than half that amount — at least $90,000 — in an effort to get NFL players Vince Wilfork and Antrel Rolle to sign with a sports agency he

three recruits and 12 “friends and family members” of those either on the team or being recruited by the school. Virtually all of the Hurricane players listed as receiving some sort of extra benefit from Shapiro left the program several years ago. The figures that the NCAA’s enforcement staff cited in the notice of allegations add up to a significantly lower total than what Shapiro told Yahoo Sports in 2011, when he estimated his extra-benefit

spending spree as going into the “millions of dollars.” If true, the NCAA only listed a sliver of that in the allegations. The figures that were sent to Miami also were described as “approximate total values.” The NCAA said Shapiro also provided extra benefits in the forms of impermissible supplemental compensation to at least three former Miami assistant coaches, along with travel benefits and other items.

The NCAA alleged that Shapiro spent that on 72 then-players,

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Kris Medlen is not exactly imposing — listed at 5-foot-10, and that’s being generous Until he takes the mound. That’s when he becomes the Atlanta Braves’ newest ace. Medlen still seems a bit uncomfortable with the role of No. 1 starter, figuring a more experienced teammate such as Tim Hudson is better suited. But the Braves appear to be setting things up for the right-hander to be their opening-day starter —

an honor he certainly earned with the way he pitched in 2011. After starting the season in the bullpen, Medlen moved into the rotation and was basically unbeatable. He went 10-1 with a 1.57 ERA, a major reason the Braves earned a wild-card playoff spot. “I really don’t care about that too much, the title of ace,” the 27-year-old said. “Ace is being a leader. It’s a veteran thing. It’s not just something you hand off to somebody. I thought I had a good six months last year. My

two months in the rotation were great to me. I’m just kind of trying to build off that this year. Whether people think I’m an ace or a number one pitcher, whatever.” Still, being an ace in Atlanta carries some gravitas. The franchise was known largely for its starting pitching during a run of 14 straight division titles, the place where masterful hurlers such as Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz did their best work. Now along comes Medlen, who just a year ago was

seen as a handy guy to have around but not exactly the centerpiece of the pitching staff. He was used to filling whatever role the Braves needed, whether it was spot starter or long reliever. But once the Braves committed to sending him out every fifth day, Medlen became perhaps the most dominant pitcher in the game. “As a player, you never want to be just average, just skate along, just be OK,” he Please see MEDLEN | 13

Top-ranked teams keep falling in crazy season

The Associated Press

MOUND CITY, Ill. — A prosecutor said Wednesday he will not pursue marijuana possession charges against Chicago Bears offensive lineman J’Marcus Webb, who was charged after a traffic stop in southern Illinois over the weekend. Pulaski County State’s Attorney Grayson Gile said the pot charges related to Webb’s arrest Sunday night have been dropped, the (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reported.

MINNEAPOLIS — The top spot in The Associated Press Top 25 is the last place any team wants to be this season. When Indiana lost at Minnesota on Tuesday night, it was the seventh time this season that a No. 1 team has been defeated. That’s the highest number since 2009-10, according to STATS. And this season isn’t over yet.

Second-ranked Gonzaga is poised to rise to No. 1 in the next poll if the Bulldogs can get through the rest of the week unscathed. If that happens, Gonzaga would be the fifth team atop the poll this season. That would be the most since 2008-09. “There’s been almost a game of hot potato for the No. 1 ranking this season,” Big Ten Network college basketball

analyst Tom Dienhart said. “Nobody seems to want it. It’s been a crazy year.” Some of the biggest names in the land have had their hands on that coveted ranking. The Hoosiers haven’t been able to handle it. They’ve lost three times this season while ranked No. 1. Duke has gone down twice and Michigan and Louisville have also ascended to the top spot only

to be knocked off. No matter who gets up there next, the jostling at the top all season will ensure that the air of invincibility that often comes with the top ranking won’t be there for the rest of the season. “Every year is wide open, but more so this year than ever,” said Minnesota coach Tubby Please see SEASON | 13

said. â€œYou want to be the best you can be, whether thatâ€™s the next Hall of Famer or whatever. I just donâ€™t want to be the next flop. I donâ€™t want to be the next guy who has a couple of good years and heâ€™s out.â€? There are still plenty of skeptics who wonder if Medlen can come close to matching the way he pitched during those final two months, when he made a dozen starts, went 9-0 with a 0.97 ERA, and threw a couple of complete games, including a shutout. â€œSure, there are people who still question me,â€? Medlen said with a shrug. â€œThatâ€™s no skin off my back. Iâ€™m just going to keep doing the same things Iâ€™ve been doing. Iâ€™m going to keep playing the same way Iâ€™ve been playing, just being aggressive and confident in my abilities and my ability to get guys out.â€? The Braves have no doubts about Medlenâ€™s ability to lead the pitching staff. â€œHe doesnâ€™t have that big power arm and heâ€™s not 6-foot-4,â€? manager Fredi Gonzalez said. â€œBut thatâ€™s OK. Weâ€™ll take him. Thereâ€™s a lot of guys in the Hall of Fame smaller than him who could pitch. Weâ€™ll take him.â€?

Smith, whose Golden Gophers were swarmed by their delirious fans on Tuesday night after their first win over a No. 1 team since 1989. â€œI donâ€™t think thereâ€™s a dominant team you can look at like Kentucky last year. You kind of had an idea they were the best team going, and thatâ€™s hard to overcome that type of talent.â€? Five of those Wildcats from last yearâ€™s national championship team were drafted in June, including the top two picks in the draft. Coach John Calipari hasnâ€™t been able to replace his stars quite as quickly as he has been able to in the past, and Kentucky

has tumbled out of the rankings. Traditional powers North Carolina and UCLA are also unranked, which has created room for Miami, New Mexico and Saint Louis to creep into the Top 25. Perhaps no team better illustrates this wild season than Smithâ€™s Gophers. They won 15 of their first 16 games to climb to No. 8 in the poll, then lost seven of the next 10 games in the powerful Big Ten to fall off the board. It took a game against the Hoosiers to wake them up, and Trevor Mbakweâ€™s 21 points and 12 rebounds helped get one of the oldest arenas in the country shaking as another No. 1 team bit the

dust. â€œI donâ€™t think thereâ€™s a dominating player, and therefore itâ€™s more difficult to have a dominating team,â€? ESPN analyst and former Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg said. â€œThereâ€™s not a team in the country that doesnâ€™t have a scar. Playing on the road is really difficult when you donâ€™t have a player at the end of a game who can take over a game.â€? That should make for one heck of an NCAA tournament. Several analysts have estimated that there are at least 10 teams that will enter the field in the middle of March with a realistic chance to win the title.
