Alcorn County is electing not to hire a new individual to serve as purchasing clerk.

The Board of Supervisors Tuesday evening voted instead to add the duties of that job to the workload of the new chan-cery clerk, Greg Younger. The county expects to save about $30,000 annually by not hir-ing another individual to fi ll the post, which has been va-cant since July 2014.

“It will be a big job,” said Younger, “but I can handle it, I know, and I hope that we all

work togeth-er to make this system work for the county and get our bud-get and all our fi nancial matters un-der control.”

The board also voted

to shift the inventory control clerk duties from Younger to Willie Justice, an employee of the chancery clerk’s offi ce, since Younger cannot hold both titles. Supervisors also

gave pay raises to Jill Goodwin and Floyd Crum, employees at the supervisors’ offi ce who have fi lled many of the duties of purchase clerk during the position vacancy and will con-tinue to have a role in purchas-ing.

Corinth Mayor Tommy Ir-win will again ask Mississippi lawmakers to support a tax increase referendum to repair streets throughout the city.

The Board of Aldermen voted Tuesday to sign the infrastruc-ture resolution which calls for a 0.25 percent special sales tax.

The tax would be used to fi x aging infrastructure, includ-ing the repaving and repairs of three major thoroughfares in the city. Sidewalk improve-ments and the addition of ADA

access would also be included.“I’ve been lobbying the past

few years for this opportunity to let our citizens decide if they want to fi x our infrastructure,” said Irwin.

The revised resolution in-cludes the repaving of Harper Road, Shiloh Road and part of Tate Street from Harper Road to Fulton Drive.

“These are roads we basically all use and are very important to the future growth of the city,” added Irwin.

State health departments are taking a different route.

The Mississippi State De-partment of Health (MSDH) announced on Wednesday it is changing clinic hours and shifting focus to preventive health.

MSDH also announced it will no longer be enrolling new ma-ternity patients. Patients now have other options under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid Managed Care.

“Like any other business, we’ve had to face the current environment and come up with a different way of doing business while continuing to provide core public health to all Mississippians,” said State Health Offi cer Dr. Mary Cur-rier.

Nine county health depart-ments will be permanently closed due to a very limited number of people using their services or as a more effi cient way to utilize staff, according to a MSDH press release. Staff reductions effect 35 full-time employees and 29 contract workers.

Locally, health departments in Alcorn, Prentiss, Tishomingo

and Tippah counties will re-main open.

“We are continuing to evalu-ate our programs and clinics to ensure the most effective and effi cient use of our funds,” said Currier. “We will move toward prevention-oriented activi-ties such as diabetes self-man-agement, tobacco and chronic diseases prevention while still providing standard services such as immunizations, disease investigation and inspections of restaurants, child care facilities, hospitals, on-site wastewater and others on a daily basis.”

Hours for the Alcorn County Health Department, located at 3706 Joann Drive, are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Most services are offered at the health department and walk-ins are accepted on a lim-ited basis in Alcorn County.

MICHIE, Tenn. —Cleaning out their clos-ets, dressers and ward-robes to help others in need, Michie Elemen-tary School’s Energy Club “The Energizers” are col-lecting denim jeans and shorts as part of “Teens for Jeans”.

A national campaign aimed at clothing the

homeless youth of Ameri-ca, the effort has gathered over fi ve million pairs of jeans from young people

across the country in the past eight years.

“Our goal is to collect more than 8,000 pairs,” said MES Club Sponsor Debra Steen. “With the help of our community and neighbors, we are hopeful we will be able to meet that goal.”

Affecting an estimated one million young people in the United States each year, Statisticians have

dubbed jeans as one of the most requested items in homeless shelters.

In order to fi ll the con-stant need, The MES En-ergizer Club has held a drive for the past three years and has collected several hundred pairs of jeans.

According to dosome-thing.org, jeans are the perfect item to donate because they can be worn

multiple times between washes, can be dressed up or down and provide a sense of normalcy to the person wearing them.

Members of the com-munity, county and school can support the club by dropping off their gently-used denim from now until Thursday, Feb.25 at MES, located on Hwy 57 East in Michie, Tenn. Accepted jean sizes

range from baby to adult.“We can conserve energy

by reusing jeans and help others in the process,” said Steen. “Please aid us in reaching our goal.”

In addition to denim pants and shorts, khaki pants may also be donat-ed.

(For more information and for questions, con-tact Debra Steen at MES at 731-632-3602.)

is in full compliance with the state procedures for purchasing. We are go-ing to try to implement some policies. We’re go-ing to go back to having bids on a lot of our sup-plies, and we’re even go-ing to try and implement some things that will benefi t all of the offi ces as far as group or bundle purchasing.”

Board President Jim-my Tate Waldon said the county is going to accept an offer from the

offi ce of the state auditor to send an employee to work with the county on effi cient management of taxpayer dollars.

The county had sev-eral resumes in hand for the purchase clerk job. Supervisors met in ex-ecutive session prior to Tuesday’s regular meet-ing to look at the op-tions.

The board wants to give the new arrange-ment a year and then evaluate how it’s going.

In other business:■ The board approved

distribution of a letter to department heads show-ing where they stand in relation to budget at the end of the fi rst quarter. It advises them to stay within budget and to aim to end the year under budget if possible.

■ Supervisors appoint-ed Danny Joe Turner to a vacant seat on the Yel-low Creek Port Board of Directors.

■ By order of the cir-cuit court, public defend-ers in Alcorn County will be Tyler Moss and John O. Windsor.

A similar resolution signed by the mayor and Board of Aldermen last year gained little traction during the 2015 legisla-tive session and a refer-endum never reached the ballot.

“Unlike the last resolu-tion, this one states once the work is done and ev-erything is paid, the tax would stop,” said Irwin. “I think that is a very im-portant addition.”

In 2015, the city pro-jected a 0.25 percent sales tax would generate around $1 million an-nually. Irwin said he felt like the projects listed in the new resolution would cost $3 million to $4 million to complete.

“We have 175 miles of road in the City of Corinth, and unfortu-nately, we don’t have enough income in our general fund to take care of them all,” the mayor said. “When it comes

to street paving work, a lot of times we live off grants, but most of the those grants have to be matched by us and that puts the city in a bind.”

If supported in the capital and a bill is draft-ed by the governor, a referendum vote could appear on the ballot as early as November.

Irwin said the infra-structure resolution would have no effect on paving projects the city announced in November.

the balance between graphical descriptions and interpretive text.”

Those who are familiar with the panels will fi nd some differences in the narrative, too.

“We have some long-time visitors who are ex-periencing the story in a new way, and that’s really good,” he said about the

signage along the driving tour of the park.

The exhibits are de-signed to give visitors a more in-depth under-standing of the battle and the preservation of the battlefi eld.

Some panels have been repositioned, and all have a concrete pad and side-walk to meet accessibility standards.

The National Park Ser-

vice spent about $175,000 for Shiloh’s wayside ex-hibit improvements.

Wilkerson said the park is planning a large living history event in early April for this year’s battle anniversary. Na-tional Park Service sites across the country expect increased visitation this year as the Park Service commemorates its cen-tennial.

missioner Philip Verdung is keeping an eye on the forecast.

“This time of year, we’re kind of always on standby,” he said. “We’ve had our weather equipment out for a few

weeks.”It includes a new salt

spreader that can treat a larger area at a time, and the department has also expanded its brine system. Salt, brine and sand are all ready to go, if needed.

With the rain that moved through Tuesday night into Wednesday

morning, the street de-partment put out some brine and, later, salt in case any ice developed.

Another weak front will come through next Tuesday or Wednesday, knocking temperatures back into the 40s, but there are no big storms waiting in the wings, Branda said.

Associated PressPINSON, Tenn. — Au-

thorities and volunteers are battling tough terrain and wintry conditions as they search for a 2-year-old boy who has been reported missing in the woods of West Tennessee.

Law enforcement of-

fi cers from across the state have been looking for Noah Chamberlin since last Thursday, when his grandmother says he walked away during a nature walk. He disap-peared in the Pinson area, which is near the Madi-son-Chester County line.

Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver told report-ers at a news conference Wednesday that muddy terrain and cold tempera-tures have affected the search. No volunteers are being used for Wednesday night’s search because of dangerous conditions.

Today in

History

Today is Thursday, Jan. 21, the 21st day of 2016. There are 345 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On Jan. 21, 1976, British Airways and Air France inaugurated scheduled passenger service on the superson-ic Concorde jet.

On this date:

In 1861, Jefferson Da-vis of Mississippi and four other Southerners whose states had seceded from the Union resigned from the U.S. Senate.

In 1908, New York City’s Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance prohibiting women from smoking in public estab-lishments (the measure was vetoed by Mayor George B. McClellan Jr., but not before one woman, Katie Mulcahey, was jailed overnight for refusing to pay a fine).

In 1924, Russian revo-lutionary Vladimir Lenin died at age 53.

In 1954, the first atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton, Con-necticut (however, the Nautilus did not make its first nuclear-powered run until nearly a year later).

In 1968, the Battle of Khe Sanh began dur-ing the Vietnam War. An American B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs crashed in Green-land, killing one crew member and scattering radioactive material.

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter pardoned almost all Vietnam War draft evaders.

In 1982, convict-turned-author Jack Henry Abbott was found guilty in New York of first-de-gree manslaughter in the stabbing death of waiter Richard Adan in 1981. (Abbott was later sen-tenced to 15 years to life in prison; he committed suicide in 2002.)

In 1994, a jury in Manassas, Virginia, found Lorena Bobbitt not guilty by reason of temporary insanity of maliciously wounding her husband John, whom she’d accused of sexu-ally assaulting her.

Temporary rental assistance offered

WALNUT — Tippah County residents dis-placed by the December storms can now receive temporary rental assis-tance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Any family displaced by the disaster and who remain unable to return home or find a new dwelling, may be eligible for federal disaster aid which could mean an ini-tial two months of tem-porary rental assistance to help pay for a clean and safe place to stay while repairs continue.

Survivors in the five counties designated for Individual Assistance — Benton, Coahoma, Marshall, Quitman and Tippah — can call 800-621-3362 or visit disas-terassistance.gov.

For longer-term re-building assistance, the U.S. Small Business Administration offers low-interest loans to qualified individuals to help with residential and business losses. Hom-eowners, renters and business owners may obtain information on SBA disaster loan appli-cations by calling 800-659-2955 or by visiting sba.gov. 

Alcorn NAACP sets Black history event

The Alcorn County Branch NAACP will cel-ebrate Black History Month with a program on Saturday, Feb. 6.

The program will be at The Lighthouse on South Johns Street at 6 p.m. and will consist of Gospel Spirituals, por-trayals of prominent indi-viduals in Black History and Praise Team Dance.

The Cox Sisters from Ripley, Ripley Terry Street Church of Christ and the Divine Spiri-tual will be the special guests.

Meeting to promote neighborhood watch

BOONEVILLE — There is power in numbers.

That’s the message Booneville leaders are sharing as they prepare to host a public meeting on neighborhood watch programs in the city.

The meeting, set for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 26 at City Hall will offer residents the op-portunity to learn more about how to start a neighborhood watch in their own areas.

“You work better in groups,” said City Pros-ecutor Daniel Tucker. “When you have five or six people, or an entire neighborhood standing together they’re not go-ing to run over you.”

The movement began in Booneville when a group of neighbors from the Miller Circle area ap-proached the board of aldermen asking what could be done about crime and other issues. They had begun the pro-cess of establishing a neighborhood watch and were looking for support. City officials looked into the issue and alder-men expressed support for establishing a city-wide program of watch groups. The upcoming meeting is the first step in the process.

Tucker said the meet-ing will include informa-tion on how to get a neighborhood watch up and running and what the city can do to help. He said residents know better than anyone what’s going on in their neighborhood and can quickly spot suspicious activity.

The meeting is also a chance for the city to gauge interest in the programs. Tucker said city officials are strongly supportive of the effort and if there’s enough interest they want to establish a community action officer within the police department who would be a single point of contact for the pro-grams.

Tucker said as city prosecutor he’s been given the full support of the board to crack down on crime and there will be zero tolerance for those violating the laws and causing problems in the city’s neighbor-hoods.

For more information about the upcoming meeting, call city hall at 662-728-5601.

UM honored for top online MBA program

OXFORD — The Uni-

versity of Mississippi’s online MBA program is again ranked in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2016 list of 25 Best On-line MBA Programs.

UM tied for No. 22 in the rankings. Other SEC schools on the list in-clude Florida (No. 4) and Auburn (No. 10). Temple University, Indiana Uni-versity and the Univer-sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ranked 1, 2 and 3, respectively. No-table institutions ranked below UM on the list include the University of Arizona and Oklahoma State University, (tied at No. 41), Florida State University (No. 44) and Baylor University (No. 69).

“We are pleased and excited with the recogni-tion of the quality and value of our MBA pro-grams,” said Ken Cyree, dean of the UM School of Business Administra-tion. “The credit goes to our dedicated faculty and staff who provide exceptional educational opportunities to our stu-dents.”

The Ole Miss MBA on-line program comprises 12 courses designed for working professionals. With nearly 100 stu-dents enrolled, it boasts the same curriculum as the on-campus program, but maximizes the flex-ibility that working pro-fessionals require in a master’s program.

By taking two courses per term (spring, sum-mer and fall), students complete the program in two years. Enrollment in less than two courses per term is allowed but will extend the duration of the degree.

“People now recognize that an MBA is the best option for them because they can carry that de-gree in most any field and be successful,” said Ashley Jones, director of MBA administration at the university. “Students in the program bring with them a wide array of pro-fessional backgrounds, which fosters for a rich learning environment, particularly in an online format with discussion boards.”

Students are taught by world-renowned faculty who are top research-ers in their fields. Their leadership in research

ensures that classes incorporate the most current and relevant information pertinent to business success.

“Having been involved with the MBA program here at Ole Miss for more than 25 years, I can say with certainty that it is better now than it has ever been, and it keeps getting better,” said Del Hawley, senior associate dean and associate professor of finance. “The efforts of all these people allow us to recruit outstanding students and deliver an educational experience that ranks with the best MBA programs in the world. We are all com-mitted to making sure that the value of an Ole Miss MBA degree just keeps on climbing.”

STARKVILLE — As southern states experi-ence record rainfall dur-ing the winter season, spillways and levee sys-tems in southern Mis-sissippi and Louisiana are acting as defense systems to prevent the Mississippi river from overflowing its banks.

When the Mississippi Valley rains propel the river to its peak levels, the question remains, “How much can levee systems withstand be-fore breaking and towns flood?”

This question is one that Mississippi State researchers at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems are attempting to answer by performing simulations on supercomputers.

CAVS researcher and faculty member Bohumir Jelinek creates computa-tional models by building complex mathematical algorithms that repre-sent millions of particles of soil and fluid to cre-ate realistic simulations involving a variety of different soil types and

fluids.An advantage the

CAVS research team has is using Missis-sippi State’s High Per-formance Computing Collaboratory’s large computer clusters to solve the complex prob-lem at a faster rate that decreases the time to solution.

“These animations help us to get a compre-hensive picture of what is going on. Each sphere represents a particle of sand or soil,” Jelinek said.

“We are looking at the velocity of fluid, par-ticles, forces, torques and stresses. In the real world, many things can’t be observed and measured directly, es-pecially under extreme conditions. Using model-ing and visualization, we can obtain a reasonable estimate of what will happen and eliminate the risk,” he explained.

Jelinek collaborates with engineering experts from Mississippi State’s civil engineering de-partment to determine the strength of soil to aid decision-makers in knowing how to bet-ter build and reinforce levees and foundations that protect homes and businesses from flood-waters. They explore applications such as the strength of saturated soil, sedimentation and shear thickening by combining two methods: the three-dimensional Lattice Boltzmann Method models fluid and the Discrete Element Method models solid particles.

Jelinek and the re-search team at CAVS are adding flexibility into the DEM/LBM system, which will assist in solv-ing more problems from various applications, like fluid injection, piping erosion, and reliability of the flood protection systems.

For instance, they are exploring which soil material is more suit-able for construction in order to avoid erosion. This will answer ques-tions such as what flood stage the levee is able to sustain and how the process of erosion will affect levee and various other systems that are used for protection.

Somewhere online there was a list of the most common names of geniuses.

It doesn’t take a genius to fi gure out that the most common names of geniuses were among the most common names: William,

John, Mary, Joseph. And, Paul, Thomas, Peter, Elizabeth and George.

You get the idea.The story suggested that

you might name your own is-sue from the genius list to give an advantage to the child. No more Sunshine and Sage Moonblood. Farewell, Apple and Maddox. Good riddance to the cute-sounding Debbie and

Cindy and Freddie. Forget the football player names like Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Ben Gay.

Go with heft. Reach back to the dignifi ed and simple, the basics and the Bible, King James version. Back to royalty, whence riches come.

I think my own name has held me back from Geniusdom all these years. It would ex-plain a lot.

My mother meant well. She was impressed with the unusual spelling a Canadian neigh-bor living in Colquitt, Georgia, used for “Rita.” All my life, I’ve been pronouncing “Rheta” for folks, who often ask if I’m named for Rhett Butler. “No, it’s pronounced like ‘Rita,’” I say. Or, depending on my mood, sometimes I say “Yes.”

Wouldn’t it have been easier to simply spell it the common way?

Rita, or Rheta, sounds friendly enough, like a waitress or stylist, someone you’d tip. I’ve heard the joke about Lovely Rita the Meter Maid all of my life, of course. That’s OK, too. I think I might have made a competent meter maid.

If I’d been named Sarah, however, I think I would have written great novels instead of countless newspaper articles. It’s a hard name to corrupt. You can’t fi nd a nickname in Sarah. It commands respect.

If I’d been assigned Prudence or Faith or Hope or one of the virtuous-sounding, clas-sical monikers, I’d have been an ambassador or nurse. If I’d been named Chastity, I’d have been a nun. “Rheta” is sounding better and better.

I don’t have children, but I think nam-ing one would be tough. It’s hard enough to name a dog. You fi rst have to consider how it will sound when you stand outside and yell it a hundred times. I once named a female dog Humphrey and discovered how ridiculous some names can sound at a certain decibel level.

I used to say if I had a little girl I would name her Jennifer. Jennifer Johnson. Now, from the high hill of my old age, I can see that Jennifer was overused. Today I’d go with Jas-mine. A boy: Johann Johnson.

I think people with alliterative names are more popular. Their names trip off the tongue.

The popular girls in high school and college had alliterative names: Cathy Caddell, Mary Maples, Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn wasn’t a classmate, but you get the point.

Works the same way with men. My own husband is Hines Holt Hall, a nice family name. His initials look good on towels, bill-folds and belt buckles.

There’s a lot to consider when naming a child, assigning them the role of genius or fool. I suspect other factors may play into the equation, but that’s just a wild guess.

Prayer for today

A verse to share

OXFORD — President Barack Obama delivered his last State of the Union speech on the same day Mississippi Gov. Phil Bry-ant delivered his last inau-gural message.

Even though they are not exactly twins when it comes to their politics, there was a pattern. Both talked about where we had been, where we are now and what’s left to do.

Both offered some specif-ics, but as is also often the case, most recommendations were “conceptual,” meaning short on specifi cs. But fear not, here — offered humbly — is a list of enactments that could make life in America and Mississippi better, or at least less stressful.

■ After each evening’s last show, movie theatres must discard all unsold popcorn. This, quite obviously, would overcome the issue of mati-nee patrons paying $20 for buckets of chewy kernels. Popcorn should not be chewy.

■ Television commercials for products designed to bring relief to those with re-luctant bowels may no lon-ger contain motion graph-ics showing exactly how the product gets things moving. We can get the picture with-out seeing the picture.

■ At least one story in ev-ery local newscast must be accompanied by video that does not include the red

and/or blue strobe lights of emergency vehicles, a politician or both. We all know these images “test well” in terms of holding the attention of an audi-

ence, but really …■ Offi cially ban Sharia law,

except in the case of peo-ple who enter the 10-item checkout line with 50 items. These people would be tak-en to the front of stores and have each item in their bas-kets hurled at them.

■ Every car advertisement must include a testimonial from at least one customer who actually paid the price being advertised for the car displayed.

■ Force health-service providers to use the “on time or else” approach to of-fi ce visits. You know, when a builder promises to fi nish a job by a certain date, the contract often calls for pen-alties for every extra day. If a clinic schedules a patient for 8 a.m., puts said patient in a tiny cubicle about 9:45 and the doctor comes in at 11, well, that visit should just about be free.

■ Parents who wish to in-fl ict physical pain on their children may continue to do so, as long as the ven-ue selected is not a public

shopping area or park. The term “park” includes theme parks, and any parent choosing to wallop a child at a Disney venue or any of the other “happiest places on Earth” would be required to empty every diaper bin in every restroom of the park for the duration of their stay. No gloves, either.

■ Prohibit credit card companies from charging any late fee greater than the balance owed. A person a day late on a $7 debt could no longer be charged $35. Similarly, banks could not charge fees greater than the amount of a bounced check.

■ Require people who in-sist on wearing sidearms in accordance with their Sec-ond Amendment rights to also wear a Stetson, boots, spurs and to walk bowl-legged. They would also be required to greet everyone by saying, “Howdy, partner.”

■ In the same vein, re-quire people who insist on sagging their pants to wear T-shirts featuring penguins (who waddle in similar fashion) on the front and back. Happy feet, indeed.

■ Television talk shows fea-turing people sitting around a table to gab must contain at least one person who is remotely familiar with facts concerning the topic.

■ Require that any law-maker grousing about money Mississippi “loses” when residents buy Power-

ball tickets explain exactly where the $6.2 billion has gone that Mississippi has collected from casino pa-trons since 1992.

■ Notifi cations of win-nings of random Internet lotteries and all offers of great wealth from Nigerian princes or others must be made in person. Also, all unsolicited mail delivered by the Postal Service must be returnable to the sender at the expense of the sender.

■ Require any person who wishes to voice an opinion about public education to spend one day in a public school.

■ Bring back the pillory for people who litter, curse in public, spit (except dur-ing athletic events when it seems to be required), park poorly, have messy yards and don’t pick up their pets’ poop.

■ And an oldie-goldie: Pay every employee every penny earned, then require each employed person to remit, in cash, federal tax-es, Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, state taxes and every other tax and fee that is deducted before “net compensation” is paid.

Not big measures. But they would change the world.

If Obama and Bryant want to help ...

After months of watching all sorts of political polls, we are fi nally just a few weeks away from actually begin-ning to see some voting in primary elections. Polls let people vent their emotions. But elections are held to ac-tually accomplish something.

The big question is whether the voters them-selves will see elections as very different from polls.

If Republican voters have consistently delivered a message through all the fl uctuating polls over the past months, that message is those voters’ anger at the Republican establishment, which has grossly betrayed the promises that got a Re-publican Congress elected.

Whether the issue has been securing the borders, Obamacare, runaway gov-ernment spending or in-numerable other concerns, Republican candidates have promised to fi ght the Obama administration’s policies — and then caved when crunch time came for Congress to vote.

The spectacular rise, and persistence, of Republican voter support for Donald Trump in the polls ought to be a wake-up call for the Republican establishment. But smug know-it-alls can be hard to wake up.

Even valid criticisms of Trump can miss the larg-er point that Republican voters’ turn-ing to such a man is a sign of despera-tion and a telling indict-

ment of what the Republi-can establishment has been doing for years — which they show pathetically few signs of changing.

Seldom have the Repub-licans seemed to have a better chance of winning a presidential election. The Democrats’ front-runner is a former member of an unpopular administration whose record of foreign pol-icy failures as Secretary of State is blatant, whose per-sonal charm is minimal and whose personal integrity is under criminal investiga-tion by the FBI.

Meanwhile, the Republi-cans have fi elded a stronger set of presidential aspirants than they have had in years. Yet it is by no means out of the question that the Re-publicans will manage to blow this year’s opportunity and lose at the polls this No-vember.

In other times, this might

just be the Republicans’ po-litical problem. But these are not other times. After seven disastrous years of Barack Obama, at home and overseas, the United States of America may be approaching a point of no return, especially in a new age of a nuclear Iran with long-range missiles.

The next President of the United States will have monumental problems to untangle. The big question is not which party’s candi-date wins the election but whether either party will choose a candidate that is up to the job.

That ultimate question is in the hands of Republicans who will soon begin voting in the primaries.

Voters need to consid-er what elections are for. Elections are not held to allow voters to vent their emotions. They are held to choose who shall hold in their hands the fate of hun-dreds of millions of Ameri-cans today and of genera-tions yet unborn.

Too many nations, in des-perate times, especially after the established authorities have discredited themselves and forfeited the trust of the people, have turned to some new and charismatic leader, who ended up turning a dire

situation into an utter catas-trophe.

The history of the 20th century provides all too many examples, whether on a small scale that led to the massacre in Jonestown in 1978 or the earlier succes-sion of totalitarian move-ments that took power in Russia in 1917, Italy in 1922 and Germany a decade later.

Eric Hoffer’s shrewd in-sight into the success of char-ismatic leaders was that the “quality of ideas seems to play a minor role,” What matters, he pointed out, “is the arro-gant gesture, the complete disregard of the opinion of others, the singlehanded de-fi ance of the world.”

Is that the emotional re-lease that Republican voters will be seeking when they begin voting in the prima-ries? If so, Donald Trump will be their man. But if the sobering realities of life and the need for mature and wise leadership in danger-ous times is uppermost in their minds, they will have to look elsewhere.

Associated PressJACKSON, Miss. — A

Republican-led Missis-sippi House committee voted along party lines Wednesday to recom-mend overturning a Democratic lawmaker’s victory in an election that went to a drawing of straws for a tiebreaker.

If the House agrees, Republicans will gain a three-fi fths super-majority, which would give them the power to change tax laws without consulting Democrats.

The committee voted 4-1 to ask the House to seat Republican chal-lenger Mark Tullos of Raleigh rather than longtime Democratic Rep. Bo Eaton of Tay-lorsville.

Eaton and Tullos tied with 4,589 votes each in the November election in District 79 in Smith and Jasper counties, accord-ing to certifi ed results. Eaton won a tiebreaker by drawing straws over-seen by the governor and secretary of state.

However, Tullos ap-pealed and asked the House to declare him the winner. He said the elec-tion never should have

been tied because he be-lieves some votes were improperly counted by election commissioners who did not give public notice of a meeting.

Eaton was inaugu-rated to begin his sixth term Jan. 5, the fi rst day of the legislative session.

House Speaker Pro Tempore Greg Snowden, R-Meridian, said he ex-pected the full House to consider the commit-tee’s recommendation Wednesday afternoon. It was not immediately clear when Tullos would be sworn in if the House sides with him.

Eaton said he believes the committee recom-mendation would violate voters’ equal protection rights under the U.S. Constitution because people cast their ballots in good faith. An attor-ney for the secretary of state’s offi ce told Smith County election offi cials to count the affi davit ballots in question be-cause voters still lived in District 79 even though they had moved within the district.

Eaton said “a hand-picked committed by the speaker of the House” was taking away voters’ rights.

Panel supports GOP candidate

BY SETH BORENSTEINAP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — Last year wasn’t just the Earth’s hottest year on record — it left a cen-tury of high temperature marks in the dust.

The National Oceanic Atmospheric Adminis-tration and NASA an-nounced Wednesday that 2015 was by far the hottest year in 136 years of record keeping. For the most part, sci-entists at the agencies and elsewhere blamed man-made global warm-ing, with a boost from El Nino.

NOAA said 2015’s temperature was 58.62 degrees Fahrenheit, passing 2014 by a record margin of 0.29 degrees. That’s 1.62 degrees above the 20th-century average. NASA, which measures differently, said 2015 was 0.23 de-

grees warmer than the record set in 2014 and 1.6 degrees above 20th century average.

Because of the wide margin over 2014, NASA calculated that 2015 was a record with 94 percent certainty, more than double the certainty it had last year when announcing 2014 as a record. NOAA put the number at above 99 percent — or “virtually certain,” said Tom Karl, director of NOAA’s Na-tional Centers for Envi-ronmental Information.

For the fi rst time Earth is 1 degree Cel-sius warmer than it was in pre-industrial times, NOAA and NASA said. That’s a key milestone because world leaders have set a threshold of trying to avoid warming of 1.5 or degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times.

Last year was Earth’s hottest by big margin

“INSPIRED OF GOD”Likely, nothing affects our view of what the Bible says more than our view of inspiration. For many, the Bible is seen as nothing more than a book written by men and carries no more“weight” or authority than any other book written by men. Some view inspiration as a sort of “rubber stamp” with which God approved those things written by men. Others see inspiration simply as what motivated the writers, in the same sense that a best-selling author might have been motivated, or “inspired”. All these views, and others like them, fall short of what is meant in the text of 2 Timothy 3:16 when Paul wrote that ”All scripture is given by the inspiration of God.”(KingJames Version) The word translated “inspiration”, is, in the original language of the New Testament, a compound word that literally means, “God breathed” and suggests that the message of the original writers came directly from God. Peter wrote “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved (literally: borne along) by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:21) Both texts speak to the divine origin of scripture, both Old Testament and New.When Paul wrote to the Corinthians about the different ways the message of the gospel was viewed in his day, he quoted from the Old Testament book of Isaiah, “Eye hath not seen, norear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit.” (I Corinthians 2:9,10). Inverse 13, he says, ”Which things we also speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth: comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”This passage suggests that it is not possible for man to know God’s will by the human senses, or apart from Divine revelation: and that God has, by the Spirit, breathed out the very words used by the original bearers of the message to accurately , and fl awlessly in fact impart His will to man.We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

Dad gets $250,000 bond in son’s death

GREENWOOD — Bond for a father charged with first degree murder in the weekend shooting death of his son has been set at $250,000.

The Greenwood Com-monwealth reports 70-year-old James Clay Jr. remained in the Le-flore County Jail as of Wednesday.

Clay was booked Sat-urday in the death of 43yearold Freddy Lee Clay. It was unknown if Clay has an attorney who could comment on the case.

The homicide is the city’s first this year.

 Bob Dearing sworn in to state Senate

JACKSON — Democrat Bob Dearing has been sworn in to the Missis-sippi Senate.

The Natchez resident took office Wednesday after the Senate rejected a challenge by Republi-can Melanie Sojourner to his election.

The Senate voted 47-3 on Monday to confirm Dearing’s victory in Dis-trict 37, which covers all of Franklin County and parts of Adams, Amite and Pike counties.

Sojourner, also a Nat-chez resident, claimed the November 2015 election was spoiled by misconduct at a polling place in Bude and by mishandling of absentee ballots in Adams County.

Dearing served 32 years in the Senate be-fore losing to Sojourner in 2011.

 Firm settles lawsuit over explosion death

PASCAGOULA — Court records show the wife of a man killed in a 2014 explosion at a fish-pro-cessing plant in Jackson County has settled a wrongful death-lawsuit.

The Sun Herald reports Wednesday the undis-closed settlement is between Katlyn Taylor of the Big Point community and Omega Protein Inc. Her husband, 25-year-old Jerry Lee Taylor II, was welding on top of a metal storage tank when it ex-ploded July 28, 2014, at the plant in Moss Point.

He was thrown 100 feet and landed on an-other tank. He died, and three others were in-jured, one seriously.

According to the law-suit, Jerry Taylor did not receive adequate warn-ings about flammable hy-drogen and sulfide gases in the storage tank he was working on.

His wife was seeking punitive and compensa-tory damages for wrong-ful death, pain and suf-fering, negligence and breach of contract. She was asking for a mone-tary award to cover burial and interment expenses and had demanded a jury trial. She estimated her husband’s lost future earning capacity at $1.4 million.

The settlement was reached Thursday.

 Business consultant released from prison

BILOXI — An Ocean Springs business consul-tant and mayoral candi-date has been released from federal prison after serving one year and almost two months for public corruption convic-tions.

The Sun Herald reports Scott Walker and his wife, Trinity Ryals Walker, wore broad smiles in photos of themselves together posted Tuesday on their Facebook pages.

Walker’s official re-lease date is March 21, according to the Bureau of Prisons website. He was eligible for home detention as of Jan. 28, but a representative for the Bureau of Prisons could not provide any further information about the circumstances of his release.

In July 2014, U.S. Dis-trict Judge Keith Starrett sentenced Walker to 18 months in prison after Walker, 36, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government and fraud.

Embezzlement trial delayed for official

WIGGINS — The em-bezzlement trial for Jay Paul Gumm, former ex-ecutive director of the Stone County Economic Development Partner-ship, has been delayed.

The Sun Herald reports Gumm was to be on trial this week in Stone Coun-ty Circuit Court.

Prosecutors say the trial was postponed be-cause his attorney was not available this week. It wasn’t clear if a new trial date has been set.

Gumm was fired from the partnership after his arrest on an embezzle-ment charge Aug. 16, 2013.

Oscar nominations disappoint Nyong’o

NEW YORK — Acad-emy Award winner Lu-pita Nyong’o says she’s “disappointed” by “the lack of inclusion” in this year’s Oscar nomina-tions.

In a statement posted late Tuesday night on Instagram, Nyong’o said she was joining in “call-ing for change in ex-panding the stories that are told and recognition of the people who tell them.” Following a sec-ond straight year of all-white acting nominees, lifetime achievement honoree Spike Lee has said he won’t attend the Feb. 28 ceremony, and the Rev. Al Sharp-ton has called for a boy-cott of the awards.

Nyong’o said the Oscars should be “a diverse reflection of the best of what our art has to offer today.”

The 32-year-old, Ke-nya-raised actress won best supporting actress for her performance in “12 Years a Slave” in 2014.

 ‘Star Wars’ release date pushed back

NEW YORK — There is a disturbance in the force.

The release of “Star Wars: Episode VIII” has been delayed from May 2017 to Dec. 15, 2017, the Walt Disney Co. an-nounced Wednesday. The date change post-pones the anticipated next “Star Wars” set installment to follow the box-office hit “The Force Awakens.”

Though “Star Wars” was once synonymous with the summer blockbuster, the date change means that the franchise will again look to dominate movie theaters in the holiday season. It has proven a lucrative match for “The Force Awakens,” which has made a record $861 million domesti-cally and $1.88 billion globally in five weeks of release.

Disney offered no rea-son for the delay, but rumors have recently swirled that writer-director Rian Johnson (“Looper”) is rewriting the script. Production is set to begin next month in London.

In the interim, the “Star Wars” spin-off

“Rogue One” is due out Dec. 16 this year.

 Palin joins Trump on campaign trail

TULSA, Oklahoma — Conservative firebrand Sarah Palin joined Re-publican presidential candidate Donald Trump in Oklahoma Wednes-day as part of her en-dorsement pledge in the increasingly intense race for the GOP nomi-nation.

“Are you all ready to work to make America great again?” Palin asked a crowd of thou-sands packed into an arena at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla-homa, echoing Trump’s campaign mantra.

Palin, who was ab-sent from Trump’s Wednesday morning event in Norwalk, Iowa, despite a scheduled appearance, rejoined the Trump campaign in Tulsa, warming up the crowd ahead of the candidate’s speech. But Palin also struck a per-sonal tone, alluding to problems her son and other returning military vets endure when re-turning to civilian life.

“It’s kind of the ele-phant in the room,” she began, addressing her family’s struggle.

Palin’s oldest son, Track, was arrested ear-lier this week in a do-mestic violence case in which his girlfriend told police she was afraid he would shoot himself with a rifle.

 Wal-Mart workers will get pay raises

NEW YORK — The vast majority of Wal-Mart’s U.S. employees will get raises as part of the world’s largest retailer’s previously an-nounced commitment to invest in its work-force as it faces pres-sure from labor-backed groups and seeks to re-tain workers in a tighter labor force.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Wednesday said more than 1.2 million U.S. hourly workers will get wage increases on Feb. 20. The company, which is the largest U.S. private employer with 1.4 million total workers, also said it will provide free, basic short-term disability to full-time hourly workers. And it will start allowing workers to accrue paid

time off as they earn it.The moves mark the

biggest changes Wal-Mart has made in its efforts to offer better wages and benefits to its workers.

Last February, Wal-Mart announced that it would raise base employee wages for 500,000 workers to $9 an hour last year, with plans to move it to $10 per hour, next month. The company also said new entry level workers hired after Jan. 1, 2016 would start at $9 per hour, but move to at least $10 an hour after completing a six-month training program. Then last June, Wal-Mart said it would raise starting wages for more than 100,000 U.S. depart-ment managers.

 Senate panel: Ease school lunch limits

WASHINGTON — School meals could be-come a bit tastier under legislation approved by a Senate committee.

The bipartisan mea-sure approved by a voice vote Wednesday is designed to help schools that say the Obama administra-tion’s healthier meal rules are too restrictive. Leaders of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee introduced the legisla-tion Monday after nego-tiating an agreement to ease requirements for whole grains and delay-ing a deadline to cut sodium levels.

School lunch direc-tors who have lobbied against the standards endorsed the deal, saying it would help them plan meals that are more appealing to students. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has backed it as well, saying the compromise maintains most of the healthier school meal rules that have been phased in since 2012.

The rules set fat, sugar and sodium limits on foods in the lunch line and beyond. They require more whole grains, fruits and veg-etables. Schools have long been required to follow government nutri-tion rules if they accept federal reimbursements for free and reduced-price meals for low-income students, but the new standards are stricter.

On a streak Southwest Airlines delivered improved financial results in the first three quarters of 2015.

Wall Street anticipates the company's earnings and reve-nue increased again in the fourth quarter versus a year earlier. Southwest has benefit-ed from increased ticket sales, which have led to fuller flights, and lower fuel costs. The airline is due to report its latest quarterly results today.

Another rough quarter?American Express reports financial results today.

The credit card issuer and payments processor is expected to show that its fourth-quarter earnings and revenue declined from a year earlier. The company has been hurt in recent quarters by higher expenses as it spent more to retain customers. It's also been under pressure by the impact of the strong U.S. dollar, which makes any revenue earned abroad worth less once brought back to the U.S.

Not just coffeeRising sales and increased visits and spending by its cus-tomers has helped Starbucks consistently grow its earnings.

The coffee giant, due to serve up its latest financial results today, delivered better earnings and revenue in fiscal 2015. Financial analysts expect the trend continued in the company's fiscal first quarter of 2016 as more customers indulged on food and higher-priced drinks.

Prices for some drugs continue to reach new highs.

The top U.S.-based drug makers — Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Merck and Pfizer — have raised prices so far this year on many drugs. More than half of the increases are 10 percent or more — far above inflation.

This continues a pricing trend. Although increasing generic drug competition cut into their sales over the past four years, major drugmakers offset much of that,

partly by hiking prices at least once a year.The companies continued to earn billions, and

their shares rose steadily, both reasons they’re good investments, according to Deutsche Bank’s Gregg Gilbert. And the recent market downturn makes their shares a good buy.

More importantly, they have had multiple innovative, high-priced drugs approved recently, including Pfizer’s breast cancer drug Ibrance and hepatitis C drug Daklinza from Bristol-Myers.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE:

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis

[email protected]

Dear Annie: I am a healthy, active, 68-year-old divorced man, still employed and produc-tive. About a year ago, I met “Caroline,” a pleas-ant, generous, compatible woman, and have since enjoyed her company on a regular basis. We spent Christmas together in Eu-rope. It was lovely.

Unfortunately, there is one problem that drives me crazy: Caroline is a compulsive talker. It doesn’t matter if we’re in a movie theater, we’re watching a TV show or I’m trying to read the newspaper. She just starts yakking in my ear. I try to ignore it, but she goes right on. She doesn’t get the hint that I’m not interested in chatting at that precise moment.

How do I tell her nicely to shut up for a while? — Patient But Tired

Dear Patient: Might Caroline have a hear-ing problem? Is she insecure and believes she has to fi ll all the silences between you?

The next time she does this, you should gently hold her hand and say, “Caroline, it would be nice for us to watch this show together. Can we talk when it’s over?” If she persists, you might ask her to see her doc-tor to have her hear-ing checked. Later,

when you have some peaceful time togeth-er, tell her how much you enjoy just spend-ing quiet time in her company and how nice it is that the si-lence is comfortable.

This will help re-inforce the behavior you want. But make sure to pay attention to her when you are, in fact, having a con-versation. Some peo-ple chatter endlessly because they feel that their words are being ignored.

Dear Annie: You pub-lished that silly cost of the 12 days of Christmas and once again, eight maids a milking were being paid $58 — minimum wage for the past three years.

This is so wrong! I milked cows on a dairy farm for 15 years, and let me tell you, it is a skilled occupation. I went to milking school. And it pays more than minimum wage. I was paid $12 when the federal mini-mum wage was $5.60. And what about the cost of those cows? Why isn’t that included? A dairy

cow costs at least $1,500, so eight of them — one for each maid — would be $12,000. However, if the gift-giver bought the cows, he would have to hire at least one milkmaid full time. This should be corrected. — Anne in Pennsylvania

Dear Anne: We truly enjoyed your letter. We rarely hear from someone who worked as a milkmaid. And of course, how much the milkmaids re-ceive each day would depend on how many hours they worked. Also, nothing in the song indicates that the gift-giver included cows. Only the maids-a-milking. Since the song was fi rst pub-lished in 1780, we as-sume the recipient al-ready had cows.

The fi gures we printed came from the PNC Bank (origi-nally the Provident National Bank in Phil-adelphia), which cal-culates maids-a-milk-ing as unskilled labor, and thus they are paid minimum wage. We will be happy to pass along your claim that they are skilled labor and therefore entitled to more money. We’re still chuckling. Thank you so much for writ-ing. You made our day.

Watch for Crossroads Magazine Healthy Living edition coming out on Saturday, Jan. 30.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

Daily Corinthian • Thursday, January 21, 2016 • 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Andy Warhol discovered new ways to use silk-screening. Du-champ discovered the high art in found objects. You’ll hit on your own amazingly specifi c discov-ery today to put a fi ner point on your “voice” in the world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The fastest way to gain the ap-proval of others is not to need it or care about it in the least. An organic process will take you there. It starts with being a little more selfi sh. Are you up to it?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s fl attering when someone is so impressed with you that he or she wants to show you off. Don’t let all that parading around take the life out of your smile or turn your wave auto-matic.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won’t have to get too cre-ative to do your work in the best way possible. The normal meth-ods will do. Effi ciency will count for more than anything, and keep you within the budget, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Once you tell someone where you are going, there will be no turning back. Go on and mention what you plan to do along the way and with whom you will be shar-ing this adventure, and you’re as good as launched.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life has brought you to many a crossroads, but this time is dif-ferent. It appears to be more of a dead end. You’ll have to cut through on foot for a while to get to the next obvious path.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes when you endeav-or to re-cut it, re-shape it and keep whittling away at it until it’s right, it becomes too small to be workable. Don’t be afraid to start over.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Play around with formats that are entirely new. You may just fi nd that you’re able to put your entire self into it and create something that is so perfectly “your thing.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). As long as you don’t let it stop you, frustration is actually a very useful emotion. It’s better than self-delusion -- that’s for sure. Frustration has a simple message: What you’re doing isn’t working. Now go fi nd what will.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Things are getting better, and part of the reason is you, so go ahead and take the credit. Do it quickly and you’ll be rela-tively inconspicuous enough so as not to inspire jealousy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The new project is packed with potential. It’s safe, appro-priate, necessary even to apply your fervor. A touch of madness will take this from “exciting” to “brilliant.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you take up too much room with your kindness and efforts to make the other person hap-py, there will no space left for reciprocation. Back off and let the other person come forward with a bigger effort.

D E A R ABBY: My b o y f r i e n d , “Jimmy,” and I have been together for two years.

After about four months, out of ne-cessity we moved in to-gether and it was great.

Not long afterward I got a job two hours away.

Since I moved, we get to see each other only every two or three weeks.

The separation has been tough, but when we’re together, everything is perfect and all is right with the world. I feel we were fated to be together.

Before the move, Jimmy and I often talked about marriage, and although I am not crazy about it, I knew it meant a lot to him, so I proposed (ring and all).

He initially said yes, then sort of asked me to take back my proposal. Since then, he has been avoiding all discussions about our future, and I don’t know what to do.

I’m willing to quit my job and go back to be with him, but I’m scared he’s going to get cold feet.

Obviously, I’m hopelessly in love with him, but now I’m

feeling lost and confused. -- HOURS APART IN THE SOUTH

DEAR HOURS APART: Please allow me to offer some clarity.

Do not quit your job because if you do, you may fi nd yourself not only without a job but also without a place to stay.

When someone (man or woman) asks that a proposal be rescinded, it usually means the person feels he or she may have jumped the gun by saying yes.

Jimmy is avoiding all discus-sion about your future because he doesn’t want one, and he’s afraid to say it directly because he knows it will hurt your feel-ings.

For your own sake, have an honest conversation with him about this.

It may be painful, but it will be better than living in limbo the way you are.

As the saying goes, “When a door closes, another one opens.”

DEAR ABBY: Last Friday was Grandparents’ Day at my kids’ preschool. My parents at-tended and were well-behaved for the most part, but then my mother made a faux pas. She asked one of the directors when her baby was due. Well, Abby, the woman isn’t pregnant.

When I picked up my kids,

I had no idea what had hap-pened.

The director was having a conversation with one of the teachers when I walked in, so as usual I smiled and waved as I walked by. I did sense some-thing was off when she didn’t respond, but I fi gured she was preoccupied.

When we met my parents for dinner, my mother told me what happened.

I am mortifi ed. I managed to make it out of the preschool this morning without crossing paths with the director, but I’ll be see-ing this woman for the next cou-ple of years. What, if anything, do I say to her? -- HORRIFIED IN MICHIGAN

DEAR HORRIFIED: You did nothing wrong, so stop avoid-ing the woman and behave as you usually do. IF you notice that she treats you differently, all you should say is: “I heard what happened with my mother, and I’d like to apologize for her behavior. As you can see, she sometimes puts her foot in her mouth, but we love her any-way.”

Dear Abby is written by Abi-gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

LAS VEGAS — Let the betting begin.

The Super Bowl teams have yet to be determined, but that hasn’t stopped Las Vegas bookies from posting odds on the big game. Eager bettors can put their money down at several sports books on the four possible match-ups, and some already have. It’s an early start for what most in the bet-ting industry believe will be the biggest-bet Super Bowl ever.

“We’ve always talked about putting them up early but never actually posted them,” said Jay

Kornegay, who runs the Westgate Las Vegas Su-perbook. “This year there was so much demand and curiosity we decided to make it offi cial.”

If the early action is any indication, the New Eng-land Patriots will draw a ton of money should they beat Denver on Sunday and make it to yet another Super Bowl.

At the Westgate, the Pa-triots opened as 1-point fa-vorites against either Car-olina or Arizona. That’s assuming New England wins on the road at Den-ver, where the Patriots are a 3-point favorite on Sunday. New England is an even bigger favorite

for the Super Bowl at the South Point sports book, where lines were put up Wednesday with the Patri-ots 2-point favorites over Arizona and 1.1-2-point picks over Carolina.

“I think we’ll be deluged with Patriot money,” said the South Point’s Jimmy Vaccaro. The other possi-ble Super Bowl lines at the South Point have Arizona and Carolina both 3-point picks over Denver. Vacca-ro said he would take up to $25,000 on each possible game, with bettors get-ting their money refunded if their matchup doesn’t happen.

Books offering the early odds don’t expect to get

a lot of action on them. There are too many vari-ables — like a blowout in the conference champion-ships — that could make the actual lines quite dif-ferent by the time they are posted sometime Sunday evening.

“The Super Bowl is the one betting event where public money just rules,” Kornegay said. “And pub-lic perception is usually based on what they saw last.”

William Hill oddsmaker Nick Bogdanovich said there might be some pro-fessional bettors who think they can get an edge with the early odds, but that they were mostly posted to

stir up more interest going into this weekend.

Still, there has already been some action on the big game. “It’s a fair gamble for both us and the players,” Bogdanovich said.

Assuming there are no blowouts Sunday and no major injuries, this will be a Super Bowl with a tight line. And usually a close spread helps generate more action than games that might look more lop-sided. Bookies are count-ing on a big Super Bowl handle to cap a football season that has been solid if not spectacular for this city’s legal sports books. The handle for the en-

tire season is expected to break previous records, though a string of wins by favorites during the sea-son means bookies won’t win as much as they would like.

Last year about $116 million was bet legally on the Super Bowl, the sec-ond-highest handle ever. Most oddsmakers believe the increasing popularity of sports betting means that mark will be sur-passed this year.

“It’s an event that really refl ects the popularity of the sport and the strength of the economy,” Korne-gay said. “We expect this to be a record setting year for the Super Bowl.”

WWW.ATHLONSPORTS.COM

INSIDESUNDAYA WEEKLY SPIN AROUND THE NFL

LET’S TRY THIS AGAINBrady meets Manning — again — and Palmer gets his shot at Newton

OUTSIDE THE HUDDLEWe can only hope that the conference title

games are as competitive as the Divisional Round turned out to be. For the fi rst time since the 2003 season, all four second-round playoff games were decided by seven points or fewer. That postseason produced a Patriots-Panthers Super Bowl that came down to a late game-winning fi eld goal, so history could still repeat this year. ...

The NFL will return to Los Angeles next season for the fi rst time since 1994. League owners voted 30–2 to approve St. Louis Rams owner Stan

Kroenke’s plan to move the team back to L.A. and build a new stadium in the Inglewood area of the city. That proposal won out over a joint Raiders-Chargers plan to build and share a stadium in Carson, Calif., but that doesn’t mean the Rams will have Los Angeles to themselves. The Chargers have a year to work out a deal with Kroenke to

share the Inglewood site, and the Raiders are next in line if the Bolts choose to stay in San Diego. Until the new project is complete, the Rams will play in the L.A. Coliseum, which was their home from 1946-79. ...

Have we seen the last of Marshawn Lynch and Beast Mode in Seattle? It certainly seems likely. Lynch played in just seven games this season due to hamstring and abdomen ailments, and he has talked about retirement while battling back issues in past offseasons. Even when he was in the lineup, he averaged less than 4 yards per carry for the fi rst time since 2010. He returned to face Carolina last week after missing eight games, but he was held to 20 yards on six carries. With Thomas Rawls (830 yards, 5.6 yards per carry in 13 games) expected to be fully healed from an ankle injury, the Seahawks and Lynch appear destined to part ways.

In his 12th season, Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald had one of his best years, grabbing a career-high 109 passes for 1,215 yards and nine touchdowns. He stayed hot in the Divisional Round of the playoff s with 176 yards on eight catches, including a 75-yard catch-and-run in overtime that set up his game-winning 5-yard touchdown. After going six games without scoring, Fitzgerald now has touchdowns in three straight games. The veteran has always picked up his game in the playoff s: In eight postseason games, Fitzgerald has 53 catches for 912 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Cleveland BrownsFired: Mike Pettine

Hired: Hue Jackson

Jackson takes over the Browns after serving as offen-

sive coordinator in Cincinnati for the last two seasons.

Jackson was head coach of the Raiders in 2011, going

8–8. They haven’t had a winning season since.

Miami DolphinsFired: Joe Philbin

Hired: Adam Gase

Miami is betting that Gase can help Ryan Tannehill

become the franchise quarterback they are paying him

to be. Gase drew rave reviews from Peyton Manning in

Denver before helping Jay Cutler put up a career-best

passer rating in Chicago in 2015.

New York GiantsResigned: Tom Coughlin

Hired: Ben McAdoo

Coughlin was forced out after a third straight losing

season, but not much will change. McAdoo was pro-

moted from his offensive coordinator post, and Steve

Spagnuolo is expected to stay on to run the defense.

Philadelphia EaglesFired: Chip Kelly

Hired: Doug Pederson

The Eagles were interested in McAdoo before the

Giants kept him in New York. They moved on to

Pederson, a former Eagles assistant under Andy Reid

who has been Kansas City’s offensive coordinator the

last three seasons.

San Francisco 49ersFired: Jim Tomsula

Hired: Chip Kelly

Kelly was fi red by the Eagles before the season fi nale,

but he was 10–6 in each of his fi rst two seasons in

Philadelphia. The 49ers hope he can breathe new life

into quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Tampa Bay BuccaneersFired: Lovie Smith

Hired: Dirk Koetter

Afraid of losing Koetter and hurting the development

of Jameis Winston, the Bucs fi red Smith and promoted

their offensive coordinator. Koetter tabbed former

Falcons coach Mike Smith to run the defense.

Tennessee TitansFired: Ken Whisenhunt

Hired: Mike Mularkey

Mularkey went 2–7 after taking over for Whisenhunt,

but the Titans liked him enough to give him the top job

going forward. Including two seasons in Buffalo and

one in Jacksonville, Mularkey’s career record is 18–39.

PONTOTOC — The Corinth Warriors held enough of their 18-point, second-half lead.

Corinth ended a three-game losing skid on Ponto-toc’s home fl oor, earned no worse than a No. 2 seed in the Division 1-4A Tourna-ment and produced the lon-gest winning streak in 26 years with a 58-55 win over the host Warriors on Tues-day.

Pontotoc (14-6, 2-3) trailed 50-33 after three quarters, but missed on a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the horn.

Corinth, which surpassed

the 17-game streak by the 1989-90 state champion club, had lost two straight to Pontotoc on the road and also lost a triple-overtime North Half Tournament quarterfi nal game to Green-wood in Feb. 2014.

CHS (19-1, 8-0) swept the season series with Pontotoc. The Warriors have league games remaining at Itawam-ba and home against Shan-non.

Corinth missed seven of its nine attempts from the line -- including front ends of three one-and-one opportu-nities -- and had the bulk of its 14 turnovers in the fourth to aid Pontotoc’s cause.

Antares Gwyn, who had 16 points, made 2-of-4 from the line in the waning minute.

The fi rst make made it a two-possession game, and the fi nal 1-of-2 showing forced Pontotoc to attempt a three-pointer to tie the game.

Tada Stricklen tied Gwyn for team honors with 16. He had half of Corinth’s eight 3-pointers, including two buzzer-beating banks at the end of the fi rst and second quarters.

Dee Brown added 12 off the bench.

The 1988-89 club won its fi nal 28 games.

The longest winning streak

overall is 36 -- 28 in 1989-90 and 8 in 1989-90.

• In the opener, Corinth won the odd quarters 29-14, but were outscored 41-12 in the even ones.

Corinth (10-8, 5-3) man-aged just two points in the fourth quarter after taking a 39-38 lead after three.

Pontotoc (14-6, 3-2) swept the season series, which could come back to hurt the Lady Warriors in hopes off landing a No. 2 seed.

Aundrea Adams led Corinth with 15 points and was the lone Lady Warrior to mark in the fi nal quarter.

The last team to enter Divi-sion 1-3A play came away the winner.

Kossuth split its league con-tests with Belmont on Tues-day, with the Aggies closing the night with a 75-50 win.

Rick Hodum tallied a game-high 28 as Kossuth ran its mark to 12-8 overall and 1-0 in division play.

Belmont dropped to 0-3 in conference games.

Kennedy Dye followed with 15 and Dylan Mercer

and T.J. Essary also reached double fi gures with 14 and 13, respectively.

Kossuth led 23-9 after one and 39-27 at the break.

Unoffi cially, Hodum is now 23 points shy of the 1,600-mark in his career.

• In the opener, Belmont earned its fi rst league win in three starts, edging Kossuth 65-60.

Kossuth (10-10, 0-1) led 33-31 at the break. Belmont (12-7, 1-2) used a 19-14 ad-vantage in the third to take a 55-47 lead heading into the

fourth.Morgan Hodum led Kos-

suth with 15 points. Jade Barnes followed with 14 and Kaylee Bonds added 12.

• Biggersville swept its home Division 1-1A contests with Jumpertown.

The Lady Lions got a game-high 22 points, including six 3-pointers, from Serra Hin-ton, in topping the Lady Car-dinals 51-44.

Tyleshia Davis and Jada Tubbs scored 11 each for BHS, which improved to 11-6, 5-0.

Jaylon Powell’s 18 paced fi ve Lions in double fi gures as BHS avenged its only league loss with an 88-65 decision in the nightcap.

Dalton Hanna scored a game-high 33 points for the Cardinals, which fell to 10-10, 3-1.

Cameron Barnett added 14 points for the Lions. Devonte Spears and Greg Robinson added 13 each and Jordan Strickland had 12.

The Associated PressCOLUMBIA, S.C. — Will

Muschamp has managed to climb out of the large recruit-ing hole he inherited when he took the South Carolina job last month.

Two weeks before signing day, there are several signs the new coach has calmed the uncertainty stemming from Steve Spurrier’s abrupt mid-season resignation and the unsettled Gamecocks coach-

ing situation at the end of the season.

Muschamp secured an early enrollment from quar-terback Brandon McIlwain, who had nearly two dozen football offers was consid-ered a fi rst-round selection in next spring’s Major League Baseball draft. He shored up the pledge of talented in-state receiver Bryan Edwards, who decommitted last year and took a visit to Clemson before

enrolling with the Gamecocks this month.

The coach also received a commitment to play from highly sought linebacker T.J. Brunson, a one-time Louis-ville commit who Muschamp visited at nearby Richland Northeast High School a short time after his introduc-tory press conference last month.

“It’s the season of the year for us,” Muschamp said. “Re-

cruiting is every day.”The Gamecocks had slipped

in recruiting the past couple of seasons since a run of three straight 11-2 seasons between 2011-13. Eight players in the 2015 recruiting class decom-mitted, and things started to spiral down after Spurrier’s announcement and interim coach Shaw Elliott and South Carolina fi nished the season

The Associated PressLEXINGTON, Ky. — John

Calipari and his Kentucky Wildcats face a major chal-lenge: Find a way to stop get-ting bullied before the her-alded squad drops completely out of the Top 25.

The Wildcats have tumbled to No. 23 in the rankings after rising to No. 1 on Nov. 23.

They’ve trailed by large margins, blown double-digit leads and along the way lost

some of the intimidation op-ponents once felt when play-ing big, bad Kentucky.

There’s still time for Ken-tucky to correct things, but Calipari says the time is now.

“Whatever is holding you back from high-energy play, you gotta fi gure it out,” Cali-pari said earlier this week. “We’re facing teams that are playing like their lives depend on it. We’ve got to be a des-perate team also.”

The Wildcats (13-4, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) are looking up at several teams in the standings and their fer-vent fan base is wondering if these Wildcats are similar to the 2012-13 team that missed the NCAA Tournament or the squad that followed a year later.

Kentucky stumbled into the 2014 NCAA Tournament as a No. 8 seed but found its re-solve and reached the cham-

pionship game. The hope is this team will eventually jell as well — sooner than later.

“We just have to play games the way we play in practice,” said freshman guard Jamal Murray, Kentucky’s top scor-er at 17.8 points per game. “It comes down to how much we want it as a team, and how well we jell together.”

3-9.Muschamp let his

coaching staff know the slide had to stop.

“Recruiting is about hard work, dedicating much of your day to it, dedicating a bunch of what you do to it,” said co-offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon. “And that starts from the head guy down.”

Muschamp had a sense of urgency from the start.

The former Flori-da coach did not stick around for much back-slapping and hand shak-ing after his introduc-tion as Steve Spurrier’s successor on Dec. 7. He took off to see prospects with newly hired running backs coach Bobby Bent-ley.

The rest of his assis-tants are also well versed in recruiting for in the Southeastern Confer-ence.

■ Defensive coordinator Travaris Robinson was at Florida and Auburn un-der Muschamp.

■ McClendon worked

with Mark Richt at Geor-gia and was the Bulldogs’ interim coach when Richt was dismissed.

■ Assistant head Lance Thompson worked on national championship teams with Nick Saban at LSU and Alabama be-fore joining Muschamp in guiding Auburn’s defense last season. Thompson was named the nation’s top recruiter on the Ulti-mate ESPN 300 recruit-ing power rankings in 2014.

Muschamp also added staffers with area connec-tions.

Longtime SEC assis-tant Ellis Johnson, who helped recruit Jadeveon Clowney in 2011, is not on Muschamp’s coaching staff but is helping orga-nize recruiting efforts.

“We think we’ve got people who know what they’re doing,” Mus-champ said.

Plus, a group that meshes well, McClendon said.

“Everybody here is team guys and that’s go-ing to trickle down to the players,” he said.

sistent post presence one of the fi rst steps they must take.

Freshman Skal Labis-siere (7.7 points, 3.2 re-bounds) was expected to fi ll that role but has been outmuscled on both ends and often looked unwilling to mix it up.

The 6-foot-11 Haitian played just eight min-utes in Saturday’s 75-70 loss at Auburn — Ken-tucky blew a 12-point, second-half lead against the Tigers— and forced 6-8 senior forward Alex Poythress and 6-9 junior Marcus Lee to handle the load inside. Though Poythress is the more physical of those two, he’s undersized; and both players have been susceptible to fouls.

Labissiere said Wednesday that prac-ticing against Lee, 7-foot Australian Isaac Humphries and 6-10 New Zealand newcomer Tai Wynyard has made them all better.

“My confi dence is coming back up,” Labis-siere said.

Kentucky’s bright spot has been a guard-orient-ed lineup led by sopho-

more fl oor leader Tyler Ulis (14.4 points, 6.1 as-sists), freshman Isaiah Briscoe (10.7) and Mur-ray.

Good as that guard trio has been, former player Winston Bennett believes the Wildcats need a post option if they hope to go deep in post-season. And given their current inside struggles, he said it’s time to play Humphries and Wyn-yard more.

“You’ve got to put those guys in the fi re at some point and see what they can do,” Ben-nett said. “At the very least, they give you fi ve fouls (each). They’re big bodies, so they can hold post position where Skal can’t, Alex can’t or Lee can’t.”

Whatever Calipari’s strategy Calipari, Ken-tucky needs to quickly embrace it.

In league fi lled with opponents hungry to exploit Kentucky’s vul-nerabilities, the Wild-cats must adapt better to hostile environments such as Arkansas’ Bud Walton Arena, the site of Thursday night’s SEC matchup against the Ra-zorbacks (9-8, 3-2).

Bears extended their winning streak to three with a 62-36 win over Hardin County, Tennes-see.

Nine of the 11 Lady Bears (14-8) that played scored. Briley Talley

led the way with 12, fol-lowed by Malory Wig-ginton (11) and Lauren McCreless (10).

Central had the Lady Tigers doubled — 26-13 — by intermission.

The Bears dropped the nightcap 60-59 to fall to 9-13 on the season.

Associated PressNASHVILLE, Tenn. —

The Tennessee Titans’ new general manager made a passionate plea for patience Monday as he takes over a franchise at its lowest point in more than 30 years with a head coach getting his third chance in the NFL in Mike Mularkey. “This is my home, and you guys are my family,” said Jon Robin-son, a Union City, Tennes-see native.

“I’ve been a Titan fan ever since ‘97 when this football team moved here. We’re going to build this team the right way. All decisions that we make will be made in the best interest of this team, your football team. Please let us earn your support.”

Robinson became emo-tional wrapping up the Titans’ nearly hour-long news conference Monday introducing both the new general manager and Mu-larkey, who had the inter-im tag removed Saturday.

Robinson talked about how he learned the value of

hard work watching his fa-ther take care of a 10-acre farm in West Tennessee while working more than 30 years at a tire factory.

Trying to make a person-al connection with fans can only help the new general manager trying to revive a franchise that has gone an NFL-worst 5-27 the past two seasons in this team’s worst two-year stretch since 1983-84 in Houston.

The number of empty seats keeps growing with only one winning record in the past seven seasons and the last playoff victory in January 2004.

Robinson has fi nal ros-ter control, the No. 1 pick overall in the April draft, the No. 2 pick in last year’s draft in quarterback Mar-cus Mariota and more than $20 million in sal-ary cap space to start re-building. Now he gets the chance to prove what he learned working in New England for 12 years and Tampa Bay the past two seasons.

“It really feels good to be home,” Robinson said.

He will be working with a coach in Mularkey who has an 18-39 record as a head coach in stops at Buffalo, Jacksonville and his interim stint replacing Ken Whisenhunt on Nov. 3. The decision to hire Mularkey after the Titans interviewed three other candidates — announced during New England’s di-visional playoff win over Kansas City — has an-gered fans wanting a fresh face as coach.

Mularkey is just 4-21 over his past 25 games, and he refused to talk Monday about what went wrong in Buffalo or Jack-sonville. He defended himself as a good coach and noted other coaches have won when given an-other chance. Mularkey said he’s thrilled at get-ting a fresh start with the Titans after being put in a tough position over the fi -nal nine weeks of the sea-son.

“I’m going to surround myself with people that have the same feelings that I do, the same beliefs,

the same coaching style and these guys know what they’re getting, the play-ers know. They saw me for nine weeks. They know what they’re getting.”

Mularkey said he learned a lot during those fi nal nine weeks. He said he saw a lot of things that need changing that he couldn’t at the time. “It’s not like starting brand new,” Mularkey said. “I know what changes need to be made, and fortunate-ly, I get a chance to change them.”

Mularkey plans to make changes on offense and special teams with “mul-tiple” coaching changes coming. He’s also busy interviewing, hiring and evaluating; offensive coor-dinator Jason Michaels is staying on staff as quarter-backs coach to work with Mariota.

Continuity with Mari-ota was one reason cited by the Titans in their hir-ing of Mularkey, and he said his offense will be “user-friendly” with more streamlined language.
