Residents packed the board room for the special meeting, which included more than 90 minutes of discussion. One alderman was absent, and it was unclear if the issue will be brought to another vote at the next regular meeting on May 7 or anytime. Mayor Tommy Irwin said the meeting was called in the inter- est of fairness. “When I get calls attacking me for not being fair, it re- ally troubles me,” he said. “So this was the whole point of the meeting today, because some people accused me of siding one way on this issue and allowing a group of people to speak and no one else in the neighborhood knew anything about it.” Those who spoke in last week’s meeting were all op- posed to the removal of Liddon Lake Road from the intersection and the addition of a connector next to Auto Zone. At that time, the board voted 4-2 to proceed with the other elements of the project — widening of South Parkway north of the intersec- tion for improved turning lanes and installation of new traffic signals — while keeping Liddon Lake Road open.

Local/Region2 • Daily Corinthian Tuesday, April 30, 2013
A group of Corinth High School students need the community’s help with a project to help students a world away learn how to read.
Mayor’s Youth Coun-cil vice chairwoman Sa-vannah Smith is leading a project to raise 1,000 books for the African Li-brary Project and $500 to ship the books to schools in Africa where they are needed to help teach Eng-lish to African students.
The African Library Project is a nonprofi t organization that starts libraries in rural Africa by mobilizing volunteers young and old in the U.S. to organize book drives and ship books to a part-
ner libraries in Africa.Smith discovered the
African Library Project online, she said. She knew right away it was a cause she could embrace.
“I really wanted to do this because it’s some-thing that would let me share my love for books and do it in a way that lets me step over cultural and international boundaries in a way I never imag-ined,” said the 17-year-old CHS junior. “I thought it was really neat to help students just like me have the opportunity to learn how to read.”
With the help of the Mayor’s Youth Council — a group of CHS stu-dents dedicated to service, leadership and participat-ing in the local govern-
ment — Smith is collect-ing books for the African Library Project. Book col-lection bins are currently in place at the Corinth Library, the Corinth High School Library and the First Presbyterian Church Youth House. More loca-tions are coming in the near future, Smith said.
They are seeking books ranging from preschool to 8th grade reading lev-els, in good to mildly used conditions. Textbooks from schools are also ap-preciated for use in teach-ers’ aids.
Smith said the proj-ect will benefi t the kids who get to learn from the books — as well as the community that provides them.
“That’s why I wanted to
do it,” she said. “I think it’ll be good for the kids receiving the books as well as our community, to show the positives of giving back and helping others.”
The volunteers have designated May 18 as a tentative deadline for collecting all the books. This way they will be able to package and send the books immediately fol-lowing the last full day of school.
To fi nd out more about how to help Smith and the local effort for the African Library Project, contact Smith at [email protected].
(To learn more about the African Library Proj-ect visit www.africanli-braryproject.org.)
Project leader Savannah Smith, a CHS junior and vice chair of the Mayor’s Youth Council, gets a tub full of books ready for the African Library Project.

slot. Alcorn Central will be the fi rst school to see athletes examined at 5 p.m. Biggersville will fol-low at 5:30 with Corinth (6:00), Kossuth (6:30) and Tishomingo County (7:00) following in order.
All athletes must have
an assigned waiver from a parent or guardian to get an athletic physical. Waivers were provided to schools prior to tonight’s event. Physicals cannot be performed without a signed waiver.
The comprehensive exam will include:
■ Height and weight.
■ Vision screening.■ Heart and lung
screening.■ Blood pressure■ Eyes, ears, nose and
throat.■ Orthopedic check.For more information
about tonight’s physicals call the Sports Medicine Offi ce at 662-287-1400.

“It’s going to be graphic, but that’s what normally happens with a car versus an automobile,” said Wil-banks. “We don’t want to scare people from com-ing, but that’s the point of this. Unless you’ve been there or experienced it, you don’t know how it is.”
The event will also give participants a chance to hear the testimonials of two men whose lives were
indelibly affected by mo-torcycle accidents — Tom Lewis, who lost part of his leg in an accident, and Jeff Cunningham, a state trooper who was severely injured when a vehicle backed out in front of his bike during a high-speed chase.
A lunch will be provid-ed for those who attend the indoor testimonials.
Organizers of Motorcy-cle Awareness Day hope the event will motivate
people to be more aware of riders on the road and to develop safer driving habits.
“I know it’s not inten-tional, but a lot of average people aren’t trained to see motorcycles. They’ll look down and be tex-ting or will be dialing their phone going down the road. A lot of us have been guilty of that,” said Wilbanks. “But I think this event is really going to make a difference.”
though there is no race day registration.
“It has been a little slow this morning,” said Smith on the fi rst day of packet distribution. “More should start rolling in after lunch.”
Race offi cials learned earlier that last year’s male and female overall winners will be back to defend their titles. Danie Kirwa claimed the male crown with a time of 30:06 in 2012. Zamzam Sangau, who turned back the challenge of 2010 winner Tiffany Dudley last year, was the fi rst fe-
male fi nisher at 37:23.Dudley and fellow
Starkville training part-ner, Meggan Franks, are expected to challenge San-gau for the title this year. Saturday’s event will the be fi rst time for Franks to try the local 10K.
“Franks and Dudley will be two to watch for on the female side,” added Williams.
A pair of fresh ideas that appeared last year are also back. A miniature gold Coca-Cola keepsake bottle returns as the me-dallion presented to all runners who fi nish. The B-Tag timing chip that is
attached to the runner’s bib is also being used in the 32nd running.
Unlike last year’s unusu-al warm day, Saturday’s temperature is forecast to be in the 60s following a cool start to the day.
“It should be a runner’s dream day for Saturday,” added race co-coordina-tor Mona Lisa Grady.
Although numbers con-tinue to rise in the race, held the fi rst Saturday in May, Williams wants to continue to provide a classy event.
“We have to make sure we maintain a quality race from the fi rst fi nisher to the last fi nisher,” he said.
Ward 3 Alderman Chip Wood, who made the mo-tion last week, insisted that the issue should end.
“I believe the voice of the people was repre-sented and the decision’s done,” he said. “I ask that this not be discussed again.”
Funding for the project comes through the Local Surface Transportation Program, a pool of funds that the Mississippi De-partment of Transporta-tion distributes to cities for certain projects. Tra-vis Wampler, district LPA coordinator and assistant construction engineer for MDOT District 1, said the modifi cation to the proj-ect leaving Liddon Lake Road as part of the in-tersection will somewhat reduce the funding to be awarded for the work.
“MDOT can still sup-port the project, but it won’t be at the same rate of funding because it’s no
longer considered a safety improvement project,” said Wampler.
The project would not have been selected for funding if it had been submitted with Liddon Lake Road intact, he said.
The project as original-ly submitted totals about $300,000, with each of the three components — South Parkway turn-ing lane, new signaliza-tion and relocating Lid-don Lake Road — costing about a third of the total. With last week’s vote, the board is cutting the cost by about $100,000.
MDOT says removing that fi fth leg of the inter-section will reduce the cycle time for the traffi c signals and signifi cantly reduce the substantial breadth of the intersec-tion. The stop point for westbound highway traf-fi c would move forward about 100 feet.
Opponents of relocat-ing Liddon Lake Road insist that it would create
more traffi c problems and would be dangerous for those attempting to turn from the new connector onto the highway.
“I think this new pro-posed deal is just a recipe for disaster,” said John Young, who also spoke at last week’s meeting.
Twila Bridges said she is “incredulous” that a connector next to Auto Zone is considered a safer arrangement.
Representatives of Auto Zone, Vermax and the East Town Shopping Center also spoke against moving that end of Liddon Lake Road, while employees of Brose Autoplex attended in support of the change.
In last week’s meeting, Eddie Robinson, MDOT traffi c signal engineer for districts 1 and 2, said Lid-don Lake Road accounts for 2 percent of the traf-fi c volume that passes through the intersection but accounts for about 14 percent of the traffi c sig-nal cycle time.

The adult National Day of Prayer event will begin shortly before noon on Thursday at the Alcorn County Court-house. The theme for this year’s event is “Pray for America” — empha-sizing the need for peo-ple to place their faith in God, “who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and men,”
explains the National Day of Prayer website.
Held yearly on the fi rst Thursday in May, the National Day of Prayer encourages people of all faiths to pray for Ameri-ca. It was created in 1952 by a joint congressional resolution and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.
The National Day of Prayer Task Force is a privately funded orga-
nization that works to encourage participation in the National Day of Prayer by communicat-ing the need for personal repentance and prayer.

The people at Legacy Hospice of Corinth know that caregivers for peo-ple with Alzheimer’s or some form of dementia have a tough job. That’s why they are providing a free Alzheimer’s seminar for caregivers.
At the seminar, care-givers will get tips on how to care for their loved ones. They will learn about the stages of Alzheimer’s, making every day count and how to manage challenging behaviors. Caregivers will also learn about how to keep a sense of humor while providing care — and how to take care of themselves.
“A caregiver is often called a ‘hidden’ or ‘sec-ond’ victim of Alzheim-er’s,” said Callie Em-mons, the social worker for Legacy Hospice. “The physical results of caregiving can cause stress, fatigue, stomach problems, headaches or diffi culty sleeping. The emotional stress can cause depression, anxi-ety, anger, guilt, loss of self esteem and feelings
of being overwhelmed.”The seminar’s speak-
er, May Nell Dorris, will share insights, research and personal experi-ences she attained while caring for her late hus-band, Hopson, who suf-fered from the disease.
Through caring for her husband, Dorris deeply researched the disease, attended many confer-ences and eventually got involved with the Mis-sissippi Alzheimer’s As-sociation. For years she has been sharing per-tinent information not only with family mem-bers but with health care agencies and facilities — helping people dis-cover better ways to care for individuals with Al-zheimer’s.
“If you are a caregiver or a family member this seminar will help you better understand the behavior of a person with Alzheimer’s or de-mentia and will give you ideas on how to lessen the patient’s anxiety and decrease your own stress,” said Emmons. “Mrs. Dorris turned her situation into something positive as a way to help
others. We can all do this in any situation we fi nd ourselves in — if we look for the opportunity.”
The speaker will share her experiences as well as tips from other care-givers about what works for different situations.
“Not every situa-tion will be the same,” Emmons pointed out. “Some patients will be mild mannered. Others may actually be more of a challenge to handle. Mrs. Dorris has many great stories that most everyone can identify with, and she stresses the importance of the caregiver taking care of themselves, fi nding hu-mor in situations and taking time for yourself so you can better take care of your loved one.”
The seminar is sched-uled for Tuesday, May 7, from 11 a.m. until noon at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on Highway 2.
Anyone who wishes to attend the free seminar is asked to register by calling 286-5333. How-ever, anyone is welcome to show up the day of the event without register-ing.

Today in
history
Today is Tuesday, April 30, the 120th day of 2013. There are 245 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On April 30, 1973, President Richard Nixon announced the resigna-tions of top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrli-chman, Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst and White House coun-sel John Dean, who was actually fired.
On this date:In 1789, George Wash-
ington took office in New York as the first presi-dent.
In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for 60 million francs, the equivalent of about $15 million.
In 1812, Louisiana be-came the 18th state of the Union.
In 1863, the design of the Great Seal of the Confederate States of America was approved by the Confederate Con-gress.
In 1900, engineer John Luther “Casey” Jones of the Illinois Central Railroad died in a train wreck near Vaughan, Miss., after staying at the controls in a suc-cessful effort to save the passengers.
In 1938, a precursor to the cartoon character Bugs Bunny first ap-peared in the Warner Bros. animated short “Porky’s Hare Hunt.”
In 1939, the New York World’s Fair opened with a ceremony that included an address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 1945, as Russian troops approached his Berlin bunker, Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun.
In 1968, New York City police forcibly removed student demonstrators occupying five buildings at Columbia University.
In 1983, blues singer and guitarist Muddy Wa-ters died in Westmont, Ill., at age 68.
In 1988, Gen. Manuel Noriega, waving a ma-chete, vowed at a rally to keep fighting U.S. efforts to oust him as Panama’s military ruler.
In 1993, top-ranked women’s tennis player Monica Seles was stabbed in the back dur-ing a match in Hamburg, Germany, by a man who described himself as a fan of second-ranked German player Steffi Graf. (The man, convict-ed of causing grievous bodily harm, was given a suspended sentence.)
Ten years ago: Inter-national mediators pre-sented Israeli and Pales-tinian leaders with a new Middle East “road map,” a U.S.-backed blueprint for ending 31 months of violence and establish-ing a Palestinian state. Mahmoud Abbas took of-fice as Palestinian prime minister.
Five years ago: The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for a sev-enth straight time, reduc-ing the federal funds rate a quarter-point to 2 percent.
One year ago: Presi-dent Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, meet-ing at the White House, decried aggressive acts from North Korea, includ-ing a recent failed rocket launch, and vowed to maintain a unified front against such provoca-tions.
As estimated 28 million Amer-icans have a hearing loss which, in some way, can be treated.
Some signs of hearing loss in-clude:
■ Frequently asking people to repeat themselves or to speak more loudly
■ Turning up the volume on the television or radio in order to hear
■ Needing to look directly at a speaker’s face in order to under-stand them
■ Having diffi culty under-standing what people are say-ing, especially in a crowded or noisy situation
■ Avoiding certain social situ-ations or events, due to diffi culty hearing or understanding
■ Frequent or constant ring-ing in one or both ears
Hearing loss that occurs grad-ually as a person ages is called presbycusis and is very com-mon, especially in adults over the age of 65. A person’s hered-ity can make them more suscep-tible to hearing loss.
Also, exposure to loud noises is a common contributor to hearing loss. Many occupations involve dangerous noise expo-sure which leads to hearing loss, such as farming, factory work, and construction work.
Additionally, noise exposure can be acquired through recre-ational pastimes, including at-tending concerts, using personal music and/or game players, rid-ing motorcycles, car racing, and using power tools or lawn care
equipment. In addition to these causes of
permanent hearing loss, some conditions may lead to tempo-rary hearing loss. These include earwax impaction and fl uid ac-cumulation in the middle ear. There are also medications, dis-eases, and illnesses which cause hearing loss. Outcomes for these vary.
If a person suspects that they or a loved one has a hearing loss, he/she should contact their doc-tor or audiologist. An audiolo-gist is a hearing specialist who can diagnose and treat hearing disorders.
When a hearing loss is sus-pected, an audiologist will com-plete a hearing test. Each ear will be tested individually, using both speech and pure tone stim-uli. The hearing test will then be explained, and treatment options will be discussed. The treatment option suggested will depend on the cause and type of hearing loss.
For the temporary hearing loss caused by earwax impac-tion or middle ear fl uid, earwax removal, medication, or surgery may be appropriate. For the per-manent hearing loss caused by aging, heredity, or noise expo-sure, hearing aids are the most common treatment.
Hearing aids come in many shapes, sizes, styles, technol-ogy levels, and price ranges. The audiologist will guide the hear-ing impaired person to the best hearing aid options for him or
her.Sadly, many people do not
seek help for their permanent hearing loss. In addition to the personal diffi culty hearing loss causes, it often causes last-ing problems with family and friends. Hearing loss can signifi -cantly affect a person’s quality of life. It can even lead to de-pression. On the contrary, hear-ing aid users frequently report improved relationships with family, friends, and coworkers, enhanced self-confi dence, and an overall improvement in their outlook on life.
Tara Spencer, the audiologist
at Magnolia Corinth Ear Nose & Throat, holds a doctorate of audiology and is Corinth’s only full-time audiologist. She is cer-tifi ed by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the American Academy of Audiology and licensed by the Mississippi State Board of Health.

Callon looks to sell Gulf of Mexico field
NATCHEZ — Callon Petroleum Co. says it’s try-ing to sell its interest in a Gulf of Mexico oil field.
The company announced its board has autho-rized Jeffries LLC to try to sell its 15 percent inter-est in the Medusa deep-water field and 10 per-cent in Medusa Spar LLC, the company that owns the production platform for the field.
Chairman and CEO Fred Callon says the po-tential sale is part of the company’s refocusing toward operations in west Texas’ Permian Basin. Callon says selling Medusa would give the com-pany money to speed up drilling in Texas and buy more drilling rights in the region.
Amite County sheriff says jail improving
LIBERTY — Amite County Sheriff Tim Wroten says cameras at the county jail are preventing misconduct by and against prisoners.
Wroten promised such cameras during his successful 2011 campaign for sheriff, The Enterprise-Journal reports. In at least one of four alleged cases, a jailer was accused of having sex with an inmate.
Wroten says the jail still needs more improve-ments. On April 20, inmate Kenita Harris, a 20-year-old Crosby resident, pushed open a gate with a faulty lock and walked out of the jail.

The U.S. Senate is apparently on a strong arc toward fi nally passing a reasonable online sales tax bill in the form of the Marketplace Fairness Act. The Senate this week voted 74-20 to begin debate of the bill, which means more than few Republicans there are at least willing to talk about the concept.
The legislation would allow states to require online retail-ers to collect the same state and local sales taxes from their cus-tomers as customers at bricks-and-mortar stores are required to collect. Current law only al-lows states to require retailers with a physical location in the state to collect such taxes – giv-ing online retailers an advantage
over traditional stores and robbing states of revenues to which they are entitled under laws written in great measure before online technol-ogy was developed.
The issue has been around for many years. For most of those years, conservatives were able to beat back efforts to address the inequi-ties of the existing laws. But as the recession and slow recovery eroded state tax revenues, the idea of taking a political stance in favor of full collection of existing sales taxes became more and more palatable when the alternative was either deeper budget cuts or actually rais-ing existing taxes or levying new ones.
In the political dust storm of misinformation and disinformation about online sales taxes, there are a few key things to remember.
First, we’re not talking about new taxes or a tax increase. Sales taxes on have been on the books in Mississippi since 1932 and the law makes no distinction about exemptions from one method of sale to another. Under the law, the buyer owes the tax at the time the trans-action is made with the seller and the seller is charged with collecting that tax.
Second, we’re not talking about legislation that burdens small online businesses. The leg-islation allows businesses with less than $1 mil-lion in out-of-state online sales an exemption.
Third, opponents wail about the diffi culty and complexity of collecting the tax. In an age in which most households have a relatively in-expensive television that will decode a signal sent from a satellite in outer space and own smart phones that will allow people to turn the lights off and on in their home from across the country, that argument really doesn’t pass the straight face test. Software already exists to do the job automatically in online shopping carts.
Fourth, there is the “don’t tax the Internet” cry. Online sales taxes in no way tax the Inter-net in much the same way that the sales tax you pay at the hardware store in downtown Tupelo doesn’t tax your drive to the store.
Finally, there’s the argument that collecting existing sales taxes will somehow derail the emerging online commerce industry. Baloney! Online retail sales account for a quarter trillion dollar industry today and are expected to dou-ble within a very few years.
U.S. House members from Mississippi may well choose to vote against the Marketplace Fairness Act and do so on the false premise that it represents “raising taxes” or “new taxes.” But doing so creates two interesting consequences.
First, there’s explaining to the state’s Main Street merchants why they voted to give out-of-state sellers at least a 7 percent advantage over them. And then there’s the matter of explain-ing to taxpayers why paying sales tax at a Mis-sissippi store counter is required, but that the same tax for the same product should not be due then the transaction is made online.

House leaders face tough vote on online tax
Prayer for today
A verse to share
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”
That was former Secre-tary of State Hillary Clin-ton’s angry response to a question about the State Department’s account of the attack on the Benghazi consulate where Ambas-sador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were murdered on Sept. 11, 2012.
Her response was cheered by leftist commentators on MSNBC. Righteous indig-nation is so attractive.
Hillary Clinton is leading in polls for the 2016 Demo-cratic presidential nomina-tion and general election.
Democrats complain that this is a partisan effort. Sure, but Democrats are free to present their own view of the facts. My sense is that they would rather squelch critical examina-tion of Benghazi and the Obama administration’s re-sponse.
The interim report sets out copious evidence of the rash of security threats in Libya during 2012. There were more than 200 “se-curity incidents” between June 2011 and July 2012 in Libya, 50 of them in Beng-hazi, it reports.
Britain and international agencies withdrew person-nel from Benghazi. The United States reduced se-curity forces despite a plea
for increases from then-Ambassador Gene Cretz in March 2012.
“In a cable signed by Sec-retary Clin-ton in April 2012,” the In-terim Report reads, “the
State Department settled on a plan to scale back security assets in the U.S. Mission in Libya, including Benghazi.”
Later requests from Ste-vens after he replaced Cretz in May were also denied.
That contradicts Clinton’s testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in January 2013. She said the cable traffi c never made its way to her.
If so, why was her name appended to a response? Maybe there’s an explana-tion in the internal process-es of the State Department. And, it should be said, high offi cials often make deci-sions that with hindsight seem obvious mistakes.
And, as the Interim Re-port goes on to explain, the accounts given by the Obama administration at the time were misleading -- deliberately so.
It noted that State imme-diately reported the attack to the White House Situa-tion Room and two hours later noted an al-Qaida af-
fi liate’s claim of responsibil-ity. There was no mention of a spontaneous protest of an anti-Muslim video.
Yet Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and press secretary Jay Carney spoke repeatedly for days later of a video and a protest. Clinton assured one victim’s family member that the video-maker was being prosecuted.
In the meantime, a CIA draft of talking points for the House intelligence commit-tee was edited at the behest of State Department offi -cials. Omitted were refer-ences to previous Benghazi attacks, the al-Qaida affi liate in Benghazi and intelligence estimates of threats in Libya. Also struck, the Interim Re-port says, were “any and all suggestions that the State Department had been pre-viously warned of threats in the region.”
These changes were made, the chairmen con-clude, not to protect classi-fi ed information -- reviews of the draft were circulated on unsecure email systems -- and not to protect the in-vestigation by the FBI.
“This process to alter the talking points,” concludes the Interim Report, “can only be construed as a de-liberate effort to mislead the American people.”
The resulting talking points were delivered to Ambassador to the United
Nations Susan Rice for her fi ve Sunday talk show ap-pearances on Sept. 16, in which she denounced the “hateful video.”
Who might have ordered this “deliberate effort?” The Interim Report mentions Barack Obama only twice as recipient of letters of inqui-ry, but this comment seems aimed clearly at him and his fi rst secretary of state.
We know that Obama was informed of the at-tack while it was occurring, that he ordered Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to respond to it (as he was already doing) and did not confer later with offi cials that evening. The next morning he jetted off to Las Vegas for a campaign event.
Benghazi threatened to undermine a central element of Obama’s ap-peal, that his presidency would reduce the threat of Islamist terrorism. He managed to obfuscate that during the rest of the cam-paign. But maybe not for-ever.

Benghazi report revives troubling questions
Someone called politics “the art of the possible.” But, in the era of the mod-ern welfare state, politics is largely the art of the impos-sible.
Those people morbid enough to keep track of politicians’ promises may remember how Barack Obama said that Obam-aCare would lower medical costs -- and lots of people bought it.
But if you stop and think, do you seriously believe that millions more people can be given medical care and vast new bureaucracies created to administer payment for it, with no additional costs?
Just as there is no free lunch, there is no free red tape. How do you suppose the price of medical care can go down when the costs of new government bureau-cracies are added to the costs of the medical treat-ment itself?
By the way, where are the extra doctors going to come from, to treat the millions of additional patients? Train-ing more people to become doctors is not free.
With bureaucratically
c o n t r o l l e d medical care, you are go-ing to need more doctors, just to treat a given number of patients, because time that is spent fi lling out
government forms is time that is not spent treating pa-tients. And doctors have the same 24 hours in the day as everybody else.
When you add more pa-tients to more paperwork per patient, you are talk-ing about still more costs. How can that lower medical costs? But although that may be impossible, politics is the art of the impossible. All it takes is rhetoric and a public that does not think beyond the rhetoric they hear.
Those who are more skeptical can be dismissed as people who just are not as compassionate. That puts you on the side of the angels against the forces of evil -- and that is a proven winning strategy in politics.
Back during World War II, military construction
battalions had the motto, “The diffi cult done immedi-ately; the impossible takes a little longer.” Today, the im-possible may not even take longer.
Politicians don’t even have to prove that what they advocate is possible, much less probable. For example, those who advocate tighter gun control laws are almost never asked for evidence that such laws have in fact reduced gun violence.
The only way that it is possible that such laws will save lives is if they do in fact reduce killings with guns. But who cares what is pos-sible these days? Certainly not politicians or most of the media. All you really need is rhetoric that puts you on the side of the angels against the forces of evil.
On the international stage, the ever-popular poli-cy of “disarmament” is in es-sence domestic gun control writ large. Nuclear disarma-ment is especially popular. No doubt many people wish that scientists had never dis-covered how to make such devastating weapons.
But, once the principles on
which nuclear bombs oper-ate have been discovered, it is impossible to undiscover them.
Even if you destroyed every nuclear bomb in the world, the knowledge of how to make them cannot be destroyed. If you killed every scientist who has this knowledge, it would be fu-tile, because new scientists can discover what the old scientists discovered.
With international dis-armament agreements, as with domestic gun control, nothing is easier than dis-arming peaceful people -- thereby leaving them more vulnerable to people who are not peaceful, who can simply ignore the restric-tions that others obey.
But if verifi able, lasting and universal nuclear disar-mament is impossible, who cares, so long as it sounds good? Politics is the art of the impossible.

Terrorism added todeath penalty law
JACKSON — Acts of terrorisms will be added to the list of crimes in Mississippi that could lead to the death pen-alty, if a victim is killed.
Gov. Phil Bryant signed Senate Bill 2223 this past week. It takes ef-fect July 1.
Mississippi prosecu-tors already can pursue the death penalty if a vic-tim is killed while certain other felonies are com-mitted — crimes such as rape or armed robbery. The new law adds terror-ism to the list.
The bill defines terror-ism as an act committed to influence government by intimidation, coercion, mass destruction or as-sassination, or to intimi-date or coerce civilians.
It specifies that such intimidation or coercion would not include “peace-ful picketing, boycotts or other nonviolent action.”
Yokohama: Demandcalls for tire plant
WEST POINT — Ex-ecutives with Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd. say they’ll build a new tire plant in Mississippi be-cause they see a global supply shortage for tires.
State and company of-ficials gathered Monday to celebrate the com-pany’s plans to build a factory near West Point.
The company plans to invest $300 million, hir-ing 500 people, in a first phase, and could invest $1.2 billion, hiring 2,000 people, over time. In ex-change, state and local governments could give more than $340 million
in aid and tax breaks.Takayuki Hamaya,
chief operating officer of Yokohama Tire Corp., the company’s American subsidiary, says it makes sense to build a truck and bus tire plant in the United States because that’s where Yokohama sells the most commer-cial tires.
School accreditationset to be addressed
NATCHEZ — Members of an accreditation and school improvement organization will visit schools in the Natchez-Adams School District this week to determine if they qualify for another five-year accreditation.
AdvancED is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that accred-its primary and second-ary schools through the U.S. and internationally. The organization was formerly known as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
The accreditation pro-
cess is meant to help school districts increase ongoing performance ef-forts for students by en-suring the district is on par with other schools in the state or region.
Noose hung at candidate’s office
MERIDIAN — Some-one hung a noose with a stuffed animal outside the office a Meridian mayoral candidate.
Meridian police said they found a hooded baby blanket with a stuffed dog’s head hang-ing by a noose Thursday. It was outside the in-surance office of Percy Bland, a Democratic can-didate for mayor. Bland is black.
Police characterized the incident as a hate crime and sent evidence to the FBI for analysis.
Bland says he refuses to be intimidated and will continue his campaign. He faces Rod Amos in the May 7 Democratic primary.

Court rejects appealover immigration law
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — An attorney for the Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center says he’s not surprised the U.S. Supreme Court has turned down a request to revive portions of Ala-bama’s immigration law.
Supreme Court jus-tices on Monday upheld a federal appeals court ruling that blocked parts of the law. SPLC attor-ney Sam Brooke says lower courts have al-ready said immigration reform is a function of the federal government, not the states.
Brooke says he hopes the ruling will motivate Congress to seek mean-ingful reform.
Justice Antonin Scalia voted to hear the ap-peal. A spokeswoman for Attorney General Luther Strange, Joy Pat-terson, says Scalia’s vote is a sign that once additional courts have considered the issue, the Supreme Court will grant review.
FDA will investigate added food caffeine
WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Admin-istration says it will launch a new investiga-tion into foods with add-ed caffeine and their potential impact on the health of children and adolescents.
The FDA’s new look at added caffeine is in re-sponse to a caffeinated gum introduced this week by Wrigley. Called Alert Energy Gum, it promises “The right en-
ergy, right now.”Michael Taylor, FDA’s
deputy commissioner of foods, said in a state-ment Monday that the proliferation of caffeine added to foods is “be-yond anything FDA envi-sioned.”
Taylor said the agency will look at the poten-tial impact these “new and easy sources” of caffeine will have on children’s health and will take action if nec-essary. The agency previously launched an investigation into the safety of energy drinks.
Lawyer appointed for bombing suspect
BOSTON — Prominent death penalty lawyer Judy Clarke is joining the team represent-ing the suspect in the Boston Marathon bomb-ings.
The appointment of Clarke, based in San Diego, Calif., was ap-proved Monday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Mari-anne Bowler.
Bowler denied a re-quest from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s public de-fender to appoint a second death penalty lawyer.
Tsarnaev, 19, is charged with using a weapon of mass de-struction during the April 15 marathon. Three peo-ple were killed and more than 260 injured.
Clarke’s clients have included Unabomber Ted Kaczynski; Susan Smith, who drowned her two children; and most recently Tucson, Ariz., shooter Jared Loughner. All received life sentenc-es instead of the death penalty.
Standard & Poor edges past record
NEW YORK — Tech-nology companies are leading the stock mar-ket higher, pushing the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to another record high.
A pair of strong eco-nomic reports also encouraged investors Monday. Wages and spending rose in the U.S. last month, and pending home sales hit their highest level in three years.
The S&P 500 closed at 1,593, a fraction above its previous record high reached on April 11. It rose 11 points Monday, or 0.7 percent.
The Dow Jones indus-trial average closed up 106 points at 14,818, a gain of 0.7 percent.
Man charged in choir stabbing
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The man accused of stabbing four churchgo-ers during Sunday Mass told police that he was after the choir leader because he thought the man was a member of a secret society.
According to a crimi-nal complaint, Law-rence Capener, 24, said he was going after the choir leader at St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church because his “speech was differ-ent” and he was “99 percent sure he was a Mason.”
He told the investiga-tor that Masons are a group involved “in a con-spiracy that is far more reaching than I could or would believe.”

STARKVILLE — Janet Marie Smith, a Mississippi State alumna and archi-tect internationally recog-nized for her innovative baseball stadium designs, will be commencement speaker next month for both of the university’s spring graduations.
Also during the May 10 and 11 public programs in Humphrey Coliseum, MSU will bestow honor-ary doctoral degrees on, respectively, former gover-nor William F. Winter and Madison architect Robert V.M. Harrison. Winter’s degree will be in public ser-vice; Harrison’s, in science.
More than 2,400 un-dergraduate, graduate and doctoral students are candidates for 2013 spring semester diplomas.
Smith, a Jackson native who last year was named senior vice president of planning and develop-ment for the Los Angeles Dodgers, speaks fi rst at the 7 p.m. ceremony on the 10th for graduates of the Bagley College of En-gineering and its Swalm School of Chemical Engi-neering; College of Agri-culture and Life Sciences and its School of Human Sciences; and colleges of Education, Forest Re-sources and Veterinary Medicine.
Her second address will be at 10 a.m. on the 11th to graduates of the colleges of Architecture, Art and De-sign and its School of Archi-
tecture; Arts and Sciences; and Business and its Adker-son School of Accountancy.
Smith is a 1981 MSU ar-chitecture graduate who also holds a master’s de-gree in urban planning from City College of New York. In 1994, she was named the architecture school’s alumna of the year; in 2011, the inau-gural class of the Sports Business Journal’s “Game Changers: Women in Sports Business.”
Before being hired last summer by the Dodgers organization, Smith was vice president of planning and development for the Baltimore Orioles, a posi-tion she had held previous-ly in the early 1990s. Prior to returning to Baltimore, she was in similar leader-ship positions with the Boston Red Sox and Atlan-ta Braves. With the Braves, she also was president of Turner Sports and Enter-tainment Development, a division of the Turner Broadcasting System.
During her fi rst stint in Baltimore, Smith oversaw the design and construc-tion of Camden Yards and, in the process, created a model for other down-town ball parks around the country. In Atlanta, she led in transforming Olympic Stadium into Turner Field; in Boston, she was responsible for transforming venerable Fenway Park and leading the program that placed
the ballpark on the Na-tional Historic Register.
Winter, Mississippi’s chief executive 1980-84, is nationally recognized for leadership in helping bring about the state’s education reform act that created the Magnolia State’s fi rst public kin-dergartens, among other school improvements. A former state legislator who later was elected state tax collector, treasurer and lieutenant governor, he has been honored with a Profi le in Courage Award by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and the 2009 Mississippi Medal of Ser-vice by his home state.
A graduate of the Uni-versity of Mississippi and its law school, the Gre-nada native also holds a Mississippi Bar Asso-ciation Lifetime Achieve-ment Award and is a Fel-low of the Mississippi Bar Foundation.

Harrison is a former two-term president of the state chapter of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects and former member of the national AIA board. A part-ner for more than three decades in the Jackson ar-chitectural fi rm of JH&H, he was instrumental in helping establish MSU’s architecture academic program. Additionally, he served on the architecture school faculty for 13 years, and continues two decades of service on the school’s advisory council.
An intern development program for architecture graduates that Harrison proposed in his University of Florida master’s degree thesis was adopted, after being pilot tested, by Mis-sissippi as the model in 1978. It now is mandatory for architectural registra-tion in all 50 states.

Prior graduates will speak at graduationCasino barge will be scrapped
VICKSBURG — The bankrupt Grand Station Casino riverboat barge, a fixture in downtown Vicksburg for years, is headed to the scrap heap.
Keyes Recycling of Vicksburg purchased the 36,000-square-foot barge for $10,000 Thursday in an auction on the Vicksburg riv-erfront, the Vicksburg Post reports .
Owner Robert Keyes Jr. says he plans to scrap the boat after he gets permission to remove it from the cofferdam protecting it from the Yazoo Diver-sion Canal.
The adjoining hotel wasn’t auctioned.

METCALFE — Metcalfe aldermen have reinstated Police Chief Emmitt Jen-kins for the second time in less than a month.
Alderman voted 4-1 Thursday to return Jenkins to his job after Mayor Cory Holmes again suspended the chief, reports the Delta Democrat Times.
Holmes says Jenkins, Metcalfe’s only full-time officer, didn’t work the schedule set by aldermen. Holmes says Washington County sheriff’s deputies escorted Jenkins from town hall on April 18.

There are many rea-sons why you don’t say no when you really want to. You may feel guilty, you don’t know how to, or you are worried about hurt-ing someone else’s feel-ings. Some other grounds for not saying no are you think you are expected to say yes, you don’t want to be criticized, or you want to be accepted.
You should always say no to anything immoral, unethical, or illegal. Any involvement in these types of activities has neg-ative consequences and will always come back to haunt you. In these cases you don’t have to be con-cerned with offending someone or hurting their feelings. You don’t have to justify yourself or explain your actions. A simple NO
is all that is required.
It’s the i n n o c u -ous re-quests for your time or money that can be diffi cult to decline. You know that you
shouldn’t say yes and of-ten regret doing so sooner than later. People who don’t know how to say no often fi nd themselves sac-rifi cing their own well be-ing as a result of attempt-ing to satisfy all of the requests made of them. You may want to decline discretionary requests when you don’t have the time, desire, or knowl-edge needed.
You have an obligation to take care of your own needs. This is not being selfi sh. Unless you are OK, you are not in a position to help anyone else. Saying no is appropriate when saying yes is detrimental to you.
There are situations where sacrifi cing yourself is appropriate and expect-ed. Parents sacrifi ce for their children. Military, po-lice, and fi remen put them-selves at risk for the sake of others. Even in these cases, the people make every ef-fort to protect and care for themselves so that they may be in a position to con-tinue to provide help.
You must also take care of your fi nancial needs. You don’t want to give so much money to oth-ers that you don’t have enough resources for
your own needs. If you put yourself in a position where you depend on the charity of others, you can’t help anyone else.
Say no to those requests that jeopardize your well being. Say no to those things you don’t have time for or that don’t fi t your values or goals. Say no to those things you can’t afford without jeop-ardizing your fi nancial situation.
Decline any request that will put you in an awkward or uncomfort-able situation.
People wanting to bor-row money, your car, or any of your possessions that you are worried about are some examples of situations you may want to decline. Many of these requests are inap-
propriate and shouldn’t be made in the fi rst place. If someone will take of-fense at being turned down for something they shouldn’t have asked for, there is no real friendship that is being put at risk by your saying no.
Listen to your intuition. That little voice inside that tells you to say no is typically right. How many times have you looked back in hindsight wishing you had paid attention to your gut instinct? If you either want to say no or should say no, then say no.
You can say no to re-quests from other people while being polite.
The key is to decline without using the word no. Here is one sugges-tion. “Thank you so much for asking. I appreciate
that you were thinking of me. I’d love to be able to but unfortunately I have a previous commit-ment.” Be polite yet clear that you are not available to fulfi ll the demand for your time.
Leaning to say no when appropriate will give you more control of your life and eliminate needless stress. All it takes is a little practice for you to become comfortable with this strategy.

Dare to Live Without Limits
OXFORD — A Missis-sippi man’s house is un-inhabitable after inves-tigators searched it but failed to fi nd evidence of the deadly poison ricin, a lawyer said Monday, arguing that the govern-ment should repair the home.
Kevin Curtis was once charged in the mailing of poisoned letters to Presi-dent Barack Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and a Mississippi judge, but the charges were later dropped. The investiga-tion shifted last week to another man who had a falling out with Curtis. That suspect — James Everett Dutschke — ap-peared in court Monday on a charge of making ri-cin.
Curtis’ lawyer, Christi McCoy, has sent a letter to U.S. Attorney Felicia Adams demanding that Curtis be provided tem-porary housing and the government repair his Corinth home and pos-sessions. She also wants the government to pay his legal bills.
“To be specifi c, Mr. Curtis’ home is uninhab-itable. I have seen a lot of post search residences but this one is quite dis-turbing. The agents re-
moved art from the walls, broke the frames and tore the artwork.
Mr. Curtis offered his keys but agents chose to break the lock. Mr. Cur-tis’ garbage was sched-uled to be picked up Thursday, the day after he was snatched from his life. A week later, the garbage remains in his home, along with millions of insects it at-tracted,” the letter says.
Though attorneys for Curtis say their client was framed, McCoy be-lieves whoever sent the letters had a primary goal of targeting the public offi cials. Curtis has said that he feuded with Dutschke, now charged in the case.
“I think Kevin was just an afterthought or a scapegoat,” McCoy said.
Some of the language in the letters was simi-lar to posts on Curtis’ Facebook page and they were signed, “I am KC and I approve this mes-sage.” Curtis often used a similar online signoff.
Had damaging Curtis been the point of the scheme, McCoy said she believes that whoever set up her client could have done a better job of implicating him, such as planting evidence at his home.
Former suspect’s home unlivable after search
BY HOLBROOK MOHRAssociated Press
OXFORD — A Missis-sippi man charged with making a deadly poison sent to President Barack Obama and others was ordered held without bond until a hearing later this week when prosecu-tors are expected to de-scribe what evidence they have against him
James Everett Dutschke made a brief appearance Monday in federal court wearing an orange jumpsuit with his hands shackled. Au-thorities spent several days last week search-ing Dutschke’s home and former business but have said very little about the suspect beyond a news release announcing the charge of making and possessing ricin over the weekend.
Dutschke’s arrest early Saturday capped a week in which investigators ini-tially zeroed in on a rival of Dutschke’s, then de-cided they had the wrong man. Dutschke has de-nied involvement in the mailing of the letters, say-ing he’s a patriot with no grudges against anyone.
The 41-year-old suspect said little during his hear-ing other than answer-ing affi rmatively to the judge’s questions about whether he understood the charges against him.
The judge ordered Dutschke to remain
jailed until a preliminary and detention hearing scheduled for Thursday. More details are likely to emerge at that hearing, when prosecutors have to show they have enough evidence to hold him.
An attorney from the public defender’s offi ce appointed to represent Dutschke declined to comment after Monday’s hearing. Another attorney of Dutschke’s, Lori Nail Basham, said she will continue to represent him in other matters but not the federal case.
Dutschke’s house, business and vehicles in Tupelo, were searched last week, often by crews in hazardous materials suits, and he had been under surveillance.
He faces up to life in prison if convicted. A news release from federal authorities said Dutschke was charged with “know-ingly developing, produc-ing, stockpiling, transfer-ring, acquiring, retaining and possessing a biologi-cal agent, toxin and de-livery system, for use as a weapon, to wit: ricin.”
He already had legal problems. Earlier this month, he pleaded not guilty in state court to two child molestation charges involving three girls younger than 16, at least one of whom was a student at his martial arts studio. He also was ap-
pealing a conviction on a different charge of in-decent exposure. He told The Associated Press last week that his lawyer told him not to comment on those cases.
The letters, which tests showed were tainted with ricin, were sent April 8 to Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Mississippi judge Sadie Holland.
The fi rst suspect ac-cused by the FBI was Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, an Elvis impersonator. He was ar-rested on April 17 at his Corinth home, but the charges were dropped six days later and Curtis, who says he was framed, was released from jail.
The focus then turned to Dutschke, who has ties to the former suspect and the judge. Earlier in the week, as investiga-tors searched his prima-ry residence in Tupelo, Dutschke told the AP, “I don’t know how much more of this I can take.”
“I’m a patriotic Ameri-can. I don’t have any grudges against anybody. ... I did not send the let-ters,” Dutschke said.
Curtis’ attorney, Christi McCoy, said Saturday: “We are relieved but also saddened. This crime is nothing short of diaboli-cal. I have seen a lot of meanness in the past two decades, but this stops me in my tracks.”
Some of the language in the letters was similar to posts on Curtis’ Face-book page and they were signed, “I am KC and I approve this message.” Curtis often used a simi-lar online signoff.
Dutschke and Curtis were acquainted. Curtis said they had talked about possibly publishing a book on a conspiracy that Curtis insists he has un-covered to sell body parts on a black market. But he said they later had a feud.
Curtis’ attorneys have said they believe their client was set up. An FBI agent testifi ed that no evi-dence of ricin was found in searches of Curtis’ home.
Curtis attorney Hal Neilson said the defense gave authorities a list of people who may have had a reason to hurt Curtis and Dutschke’s came up.
Judge Holland also is a common link between the two men, and both know Wicker. Dutschke’s MySpace page has several pictures with him and Wicker at what appear to be campaign events.
Holland was the presid-ing judge in a 2004 case in which Curtis was accused of assaulting a Tupelo at-torney a year earlier. Hol-land sentenced him to six months in the county jail. He served only part of the sentence, according to his brother.

LOS ANGELES — An attorney for Michael Jack-son’s mother has played a song during opening state-ments at a wrongful death trial that the lawyer says the superstar wrote for his
children.Attorney Brian Panish
also read jurors a note on Monday that the singer wrote to his mother to dem-onstrate their relationship.
Katherine Jackson is su-ing concert giant AEG Live,
claiming it failed to prop-erly investigate a doctor who cared for Jackson and was later convicted of invol-untary manslaughter in his 2009 death.
AEG has denied wrong-doing and its attorney is
expected to address jurors later Monday.
Panish told jurors they would ultimately decide whether to fi nd AEG liable for Jackson’s death and how much his mother and children should receive.

Baptism and the ChurchVarious folks – religious and non-religious - have much to say regarding baptism and the church. It is said, “Your church places a lot of emphasis on baptism.” “Your preacher seems to be saying baptism is essential to be saved.” “People do not have to be in the church to be saved.” “I want Jesus but I do not want anything to do with a church or organized religion.” When we read our Bible we’ll fi nd the answers to these statements. Let us consider for a moment how baptism and the church relate to each other. In the New Testament, the Lord’s church is also called His Kingdom. “...I will build my church--and I will give you the keys to the Kingdom”–Matt. 16:18-19. Could one be saved without being in the Kingdom of God – the church? In the New Testament, the Lord’s church is also called His family. “...the house of God, which is the church of the living God” –I Tim. 3:15. Could one be saved without being in the family of God – the church? In the New Testament, the Lord’s church is also called His body. “He is the head of the body, the church.” – Col. 1:18. Could one be saved without being in the body - the church? In the New Testament, the Lord’s church is tied to the blood of Christ– “...the church of God which He purchased with His own blood” – Acts 20:28. Could one be saved without the blood of Christ – which purchased the church? In the New Testament, the Lord’s church is in Christ, wherein are all spiritual blessings. The Lord “has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ – in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” – Eph 1:3,7. Could one be saved without being in Christ – wherein are all spiritual blessings, including forgiveness? Now, how does that relate to baptism? There is amazing uniformity to that answer. To get into His Kingdom, one must be baptized – John 3:3-5. To get into His family, one must be baptized – Gal. 3:26-27. To get into His body, one must be baptized – I Cor. 12:13. To get into Christ, one must be baptized – Gal. 3:27. To get into His blood, His church, one must be baptized – Rom.6:3-6; John 19:34; Acts 2:36-47. It is marvelous how God takes two matters – church and baptism – ties them together emphasizing the essentiality of both of them for our salvation.

Back in the $200 clubNetflix stock rocketed up 32 percent last week, but took a slight dip on Monday. Investors are encouraged by the addition of 2 million U.S. subscribers in the first quarter and signs that the company’s profit margins are improving. Netflix is the best-performing stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index this year, up 132 percent.
The next challenge for the video subscription service is to prove that its growth prospects are stronger than a “House of Cards.” That’s the name of a critically acclaimed series, made exclusively for Netflix, that has helped drive recent results. The show marked a move toward making Netflix more of a direct competitor with HBO, by offering series that can’t be seen anywhere else.
“House of Cards,” stars Kevin Spacey and reportedly cost the company $100 million. That fueled fears that the company might be spending too much. But the success of the series came as no surprise to Netflix. In launching the show, Netflix gathered a wealth of data on user viewing habits to ensure there would be a large audience for Spacey, for political thrillers, and for the show’s director, David Fincher, whose directing credentials include the film “The Social Network.”
Another original series, “Hemlock Grove,” debuted on April 19 with strong viewership.
Netflix shares first topped $200 in January 2011, and briefly eclipsed $300 six months later. But by October, the stock had plunged below $100 after Netflix outraged U.S. subscribers by raising prices, by as much as 60 percent, for customers who wanted dual access to Internet video and a DVD-by-mail option.
Now it looks like CEO Reed Hastings – an object of scorn when the company’s stock was plunging – has found more supporters on Wall Street.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In those moments when your attention goes to problems (or problem people), you are ignor-ing successes (or helpful peo-ple). Progress will occur faster when you focus on what’s right in your world.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Greater self-control will be nec-essary in order to navigate to-day’s many temptations. The saving grace is that if you mus-ter up the willpower, you’ll imme-diately be rewarded.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Yes, your responsibilities are many. But you don’t have to handle everything at once. Or-dering your tasks by priority, size and timing will help you stave off negative thoughts and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you ask people to do things that do not come naturally to them, the process will be a struggle for both of you. Observe the strengths of others, and align
your requests accordingly.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t
underestimate how deeply peo-ple might fall in love with you. Your strange power over heart-strings is nothing to toy around with. It won’t be fun to be loved much more than you love.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s moral, and nei-ther are all illegal acts immoral. Use your judgment and heed your conscience, as well as your gut feelings.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll roll with what happens, not letting any single event deter you from your purpose. At the same time, you realize that it is more important to keep moving along than it is to arrive at any one destination.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most vengeance is small-mind-ed and shows a lack of char-acter. Noble people are also merciful people. If there are ex-ceptions to the rule, they are few and far between.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your natural passion some-times presents itself in the form of anger. You can avoid get-ting angry, though, by remov-ing yourself from situations that have the potential to make you blow your stack.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mountain-goat side will be activated. Just because you don’t reach the highest peak today doesn’t mean your climb was in vain. The altitude you achieve now will help you with tomorrow’s climb.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People show and interpret af-fection differently. What you rec-ognize as genuine caring might not register with another person. Through trial and error, you’ll fi gure out how best to communi-cate your love.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you think of a certain per-son, confl icting emotions arise. To hold these tumultuous feel-ings inside takes complexity, in-telligence and a deep soul.
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
DEAR ABBY: I am frustrated and angry over a situation that should be fun and happy. My husband, “Rick,” and I are plan-ning a trip with our two children next month. We will visit fam-ily while we are there, but they don’t have room for us to stay in their home.
Rick wants to bring his mother with us. It will be a tight fi t in our car, but I don’t have a problem with that. What bothers me is that Rick wants her to stay with us in our hotel room.
I am a very private person. I have a problem sharing such close quarters with her. There is no privacy in a hotel room!
I offered to get two rooms, but he feels I am being unreason-able. I feel three adults plus two children is a lot to pack into a small hotel room.
Am I being unreasonable? Or should I just accept it and deal with being miserable? — FRUS-TRATED IN THE SOUTH
DEAR FRUSTRATED: Al-though there may be excep-tions, as a general rule, adults need their privacy. Frankly, I am surprised your mother-in-law would be willing to go along with such an arrangement. This is a vacation, and you should not be miserable when you’re sup-posed to be enjoying it.
A better solution would be to get two rooms, and the chil-
dren should bunk with their grand-mother. That way you and your hus-band could enjoy some private time together.
D E A R ABBY: I have been with my boy-friend for
seven years. We have no chil-dren together, but he has two young children from a previous relationship whom I have been raising as my own.
They call me “Mom,” but they know I’m not their biological mother. Their mother has not contacted them — or cared to —since the younger one was just months old.
My fear is now that the kids are getting older, they may want to form a relationship with her later on. I don’t want to seem selfi sh, but they are my kids. Any girl can have a baby, but it takes a real woman to be a mom. How should I handle this when that time comes? — DREADING THE FUTURE IN ARIZONA
DEAR DREADING THE FU-TURE: It is natural for children to want to know who their biologi-cal parents are; that’s the reason
adoption records are no longer sealed. You appear to fear that your boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend will want to swoop in and steal your maternal spotlight. From all indi-cations, it’s not the case; you are the only mother they know.
If the children want information about their birth mother, the truth should not be kept from them. Meeting her does not guarantee they will love you any less. Wor-rying about it is self-defeating.
DEAR ABBY: What is the protocol for in-person conver-sations vs. phone interruptions (either via text or call)? When talking with someone, I feel it’s rude for the other individual to respond to voice or text messag-es. Can’t people take a break long enough to actually have a real live conversation? How do other readers handle this? Do they walk away? Patiently wait? Or speak up? — TECHNO-LOGICALLY OVERLOADED IN VIRGINIA
DEAR OVERLOADED: The best approach is the direct ap-proach. Tell the person, “I wish you wouldn’t do that.”

NEW YORK — The possi-bilities appeared endless for Tim Tebow.
Here he was, perhaps the most popular player in the NFL, in New York as a mem-ber of the Jets and maybe the biggest thing to hit Broadway since Joe Namath himself.
There were billboards outside the Lincoln Tun-nel in New Jersey welcom-ing Tebow, and sandwiches named after him at Manhat-tan delis. He also had a legion of fans who followed him be-cause of his strong Christian beliefs, and in New York, he would be able to take advan-tage of countless media and marketing opportunities.
And then, it all went terri-bly wrong.
Or, more like it, the whole idea was completely fl awed from the start. For Tebow. And for the Jets.
Tebow was waived Mon-day morning, the end of an embarrassingly unsuccess-ful one-season experiment in New York that produced more hype and headlines
than production on the fi eld. And it all ended quietly, with a three-paragraph news re-lease.
“Unfortunately,” coach Rex Ryan said in a statement, “things did not work out the way we all had hoped.”
It also left Tebow’s football future very much in doubt.
A year after he threw a TD pass to win a playoff game in overtime for Denver, the Heisman Trophy winner with two college national titles at Florida and a na-tionwide following may have suited up for the last time.
Tebow took to Twitter a few hours after being waived, citing a bible verse: “Prov-erbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own under-standing,” Tebow wrote, “in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
No NFL team has made a pitch to get him. The only nibble so far came from the Montreal Alouettes. They hold his rights in the Canadi-an Football League and said he could come compete for a
job — as a backup.“Had this happened back
in February, he might have had a chance to at least par-ticipate in free agency,” said 2002 NFL MVP quarterback Rich Gannon, now an ana-lyst for CBS Sports and Siri-usXM NFL Radio. “I don’t think there would have been a strong market for him, but at least he would’ve had that opportunity.”
Gannon added that it’s an even tougher situation for Tebow now because more than 20 quarterbacks were either drafted or signed as undrafted free agents in the last few days.
“Look, it’s a two-way street, though,” Gannon said. “It’s a business. The Jets were trying to fi nd somebody, a dance partner. Sometimes that goes into the draft and teams are calling around. I’m sure the Jets were trying to shop Tebow, and I’m sure they kept getting denied.”
This is the same guy who led the Broncos to the post-season in 2011, but became expendable when Denver signed Peyton Manning as
a free agent. The popular backup quarterback was ac-quired by the Jets in March 2012 for a fourth-round draft pick and $1.5 million in sal-ary. He was introduced at the Jets’ facility to plenty of fan-fare at a lavish news confer-ence, with Tebow repeatedly saying he was “excited” to be in New York.
It turned out to be one of the few high points in Tebow’s stay with the Jets. Along with his shirtless jog from the practice fi eld in the rain during training camp, of course.
The Jets never fi gured out a way to use Tebow effec-tively, and he never forced the issue by being a good enough player in practice to make Ryan and his coaches put him on the fi eld more in games.
“If he were to happen to call me, I would say, ‘Look, you’re starting over,’” former NFL GM Ted Sundquist said. “Tim Tebow needs to rede-fi ne who Tim Tebow is, in my opinion. He’s no longer a

In Game 3, Kossuth con-trolled the pace — Carleigh Mills and the Lady Aggie infi eld stepping up for fi ve three-and-out innings.

GLEN — With Alcorn Cen-tral’s diamond teams making it into the post-season, both squads needed a couple of wins.
After dropping Game 1 of their respective series against the Winona Lady Tigers and the Mantachie Mustangs, the Golden Bears prepped for a double-header stretch.

VANDERBILT_Announced freshman men’s basketball G A.J. Astroth has decided to trans-fer.
fi rst-round quarterback.”Even recently retired Jets special
teams coordinator Mike Westhoff la-beled the way the team used Tebow an “absolute mess.”
It all cost Tebow his job, along with former general manager Mike Tan-nenbaum and former offensive coor-dinator Tony Sparano — both fi red in part because of their roles in what was one of the NFL’s messiest quar-terback situations in recent memory. It also seriously clouds Tebow’s NFL future, which might be extended only, in some people’s opinion, if he con-siders a position change.
“I don’t see any team giving him a chance because teams don’t want to deal with the following that comes with Tebow,” ESPN analyst and for-mer NFL offensive lineman Damien Woody said. “Maybe Canada.”
Added Gannon: “I don’t know. He’s just in a bad spot.”
Tebow was brought to New York to be a dynamic addition to the offense, a complement to Mark Sanchez and a merchandising touchdown for the Jets. Instead, he attempted just eight passes for 39 yards and rushed 32 times for 102 yards — and stunningly had no touchdowns.
Through it all, Tebow tried to hide his frustration, but acknowledged late in the season that things didn’t turn out quite how he expected in New York.
“I think it’s fair to say,” Tebow said, “that I’m a little disappointed.”
It’s an amazing fall for a player whose No. 15 Broncos jersey ranked second in national sales to Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers in 2011.
“He seems like a great kid,” Sun-dquist said, “and it seems like he could bring some positives to a club if he can just bury this whole thing about him being in your quarterback mix and just let him be No. 39 on your roster, one of your back-end guys who can go somewhere and help you win.”
The Jets and new general manager John Idzik drafted former West Vir-ginia star Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL draft Friday, giving New York six quarterbacks on its ros-ter — and creating uncertainty about Sanchez’s future as well.
Tebow, who dropped about 15 pounds in the last few months, ar-rived at the team’s facility in Florham Park, N.J., early Monday and was told he had been cut.
“Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this offseason,” Ryan said. “We wish him the best moving forward.”
But, where to next for Tebow?The Jacksonville Jaguars have al-
ready ruled themselves out of giving Tebow a happy homecoming. But maybe the Chicago Bears, whose new head coach Marc Trestman tutored Tebow before the NFL draft in 2010, could give him a look as their backup.
Perhaps the San Diego Chargers would take a chance on him, adding to the circus-like atmosphere they’ll likely have because they drafted Manti Te’o. New coach Mike McCoy was Tebow’s offensive coordinator in Denver during the 2011 season, when the quarterback took over the offense and led the Broncos to comeback af-ter comeback.
What about Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots? They’re no strangers to turning discarded play-ers — Wes Welker, Danny Woodhead, even Randy Moss — into big-time playmakers, and it would give Belich-ick another chance to tweak the Jets.
Then, there’s always the Canadian Football League, but whether Tebow would even be open to a move north of the U.S. border is uncertain.
“If you can fi nd a club that’s ma-ture enough to handle it as an orga-nization, then you’re going to fi nd the right spot for him,” Sundquist said.
“What I mean by that is all the me-dia mania and that sort of thing. The club says, ‘Look, this is the reason we’re bringing him on. We feel he can bring X, Y, Z and A, B, C to the table.’ Explain it to Tim, explain it to the me-dia, explain it to your fan base and ex-plain it to your organization.”
