Golden Bears to mark spring with ‘Pi Day’ BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — Alcorn Central has crunched all the numbers. The school’s Math Club has solved the problem of what to do in celebration of Pi Day. Pi Day (3.14) is normally held on March 14. AC will celebrate the day three days early on March 11 with the ACHS Spring Fling. “A lot of schools do Pi Day celebrations,” said AC geometry teacher Teena Hatfield. “We are going to see how it goes with our first one this year.” Pi Day started as just a time for the high school to have its first color run. The formula quickly changed with the addition of numerous activities and games throughout the day. “This is a day for the kids to cut loose,” said Hatfield. “Parents and family are also invited to attend and be part of what we are doing at the school.” Quiz Bowl gets the multiple games of fun started at 8 a.m. Four students from each grade

will form a team and compete against another grade. Admission will be $1. A Spring Sports Pep Rally and Pi Games begin at 9:30 a.m. Cheerleaders will honor students who participate in spring sports. A Pi Eating Contest, Best Pi Contest and Who gets Pi’ed? games are also set to take place. Group games are slated for 10:30-11:30 a.m. Games such as volleyball, tug of war and Minute to Win It will be played during the hour. A break for lunch will give

students a chance to browse the craft fair set up in the parking lot. Alcorn Central’s Drama Club is hosting a talent show following lunch at 1 p.m. Any student or student group can enter the talent event. The Bears baseball squad will square oﬀ in a Purple versus Gold scrimmage at 2 p.m. Cost is $1. The color run will be held after school at 4 p.m. Registration is $25 and includes a T-shirt and color packet. Central’s run will be 3.14 miles. “The color run is being held after school so anyone in the community who wants to run can participate,” added Hatfield. Deadline to register for the color run is Feb. 29. Proceeds from the run will benefit the Math Club and Revive Project. (For more information about the Spring Fling call 662-2868720.)

Market getting ready for new season BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

It’s not too soon for thoughts of spring. Green Market at the depot is calling for vendors and sponsors as organizers prepare for the upcoming season. “Last year exceeded expectations, and we have made some changes that we think will keep the market growing in 2016,” said Crossroads Museum Director Brandy Steen. It will continue to coincide with other community events on sev-

eral dates. The season-opening April 2 market is joined by the Crossroads Chili Cook-oﬀ; the May 7 market is the same day as the Coca-Cola Classic 10K; and the Oct. 1 market is held with the Hog Wild Festival. Other dates are June 4, Sept. 3 and Nov. 19. Gone from the calendar this year is July, as organizers found the middle of summer wasn’t the best time for the market. August had already been dropped. “Last year, part of our vendors Please see MARKET | 5A

Corinthian Furniture will close its facility in Booneville as the company consolidates all operations at its Corinth locations. The company employs 164 people in Booneville and most of those will be oﬀered positions in Corinth, said Prentiss County Development Association Executive Director Leon Hays. Employees were told Wednesday the plant would begin a shutdown in phases next week with it closing permanently on April 1. Hays said he and the company have already been in contact with the Mississippi Department of Employment Security’s Rapid Response Unit to provide assistance to the aﬀected workers including help applying for benefits, assistance with resumes, job search help and numerous other forms of aid. MDES will be meeting with employees in the coming days. Hays said he was saddened

to see the plant close but appreciates the company working with them and the state to provide for their workers. “We were surprised when notified earlier this week of the closure, especially in a time when the furniture industry in north Mississippi seems to be seeing growth. I am grateful that the company will be working with MDES to provide assistance programs to the wonderful employees aﬀected. Our thoughts are with the families aﬀected and PCDA will be working to aggressively market the building so that hopefully we can locate a new employer to operate here,” said Hays. Hays said the company, PCDA and the city and county will be aggressively searching for a new industrial tenant to fill the buildings being vacated including the main plant and additional warehouse space it owns. The plant was built in 2002 and covers more than 300,000 square-feet on 40 acres.

Better fire ratings to cut homeowners insurance costs BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Residents of Alcorn County and its smaller municipalities will see insurance premium savings with new fire district ratings that just went into effect. “All of them are dropping at least one and some are dropping two protection classes,” said Director of Emergency Services Ricky Gibens. The county territories generally went from class 9 to class 8, while the rating inside the municipalities dropped to class 7. Southwest had some territory rated class 10 that decreased to class 8. Farmington dropped to class 7 both inside the city limits and in its county coverage area. Those lower numbers given by the Mississippi State Rating Bureau are the result of assessments of fire protection. Generally, homeowners can expect to save about 15 percent on insurance costs with the changes. “It varies due to the insurance company and the type of house,” said Gibens. “There

are a lot of diﬀerent variables.” Several departments have some further evaluations coming between now and June — Jacinto, Kossuth, Rienzi and Wenasoga. Gibens said much hard work went into earning the improved ratings, including testing of the trucks, training and acquisition of equipment through grants and fundraisers. The ratings bureau will reassess the VFDs in five years unless they are requested to do an evaluation sooner. As the departments continue to work toward lower ratings, one of the obstacles is the need for additional water lines and hydrants in areas serviced by rural water associations, said Gibens. Corinth has a class 5 rating. Each insurance company licensed to write fire and allied lines insurance in the state is required to be a member of the rating bureau, which is supported through an annual assessment of its member companies based on the premiums written in the state.

Today in History Today is Friday, Feb. 26, the 57th day of 2016. There are 309 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 26, 1916, actor-comedian Jackie Gleason was born in Brooklyn, New York.

On this date: In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from exile on the Island of Elba and headed back to France in a bid to regain power. In 1904, the United States and Panama proclaimed a treaty under which the U.S. agreed to undertake efforts to build a ship canal across the Panama isthmus. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional act establishing Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. In 1929, President Calvin Coolidge signed a measure establishing Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. In 1945, authorities ordered a midnight curfew at nightclubs, bars and other places of entertainment across the nation. In 1952, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that Britain had developed its own atomic bomb. In 1966, South Korean troops sent to fight in the Vietnam War massacred at least 380 civilians in Go Dai hamlet. In 1986, Pulitzer Prizewinning poet and author Robert Penn Warren was named the first poet laureate of the United States by Librarian of Congress Daniel J. Boorstin. In 1993, a truck bomb built by terrorists exploded in the parking garage of New York’s World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000 others. In 2012, Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot to death in Sanford, Florida, during an altercation with neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who said he’d acted in self-defense. (Zimmerman was subsequently acquitted of second-degree murder.)

Park to reopen nature center TISHOMINGO — Tishomingo State Park will unveil its newly revamped Nature Center on Earth Day. The reopening is set for 9 a.m. on April 22. The small museum features exhibits on history, geology and wildlife in the area of the park. Admission to the center is free.

Early voting record broken in McNairy SELMER, Tenn. — The voters from McNairy County turned out in large numbers for the state’s presidential primary to set an early voting record with Republican primary voters doubling Democratic voters. McNairy County had 1,185 voters cast ballots during early voting. The Republicans had a huge turnout of 830. There were 355 Democrats vote early. The rabid interest in this election is fueled by the number of Republican candidates still in the race and a contested race with two Democrats seeking the nomination of their party. McNairy County Administrator of Elections Joanie Collins said she expects a large turnout of voters on election day. The county had a total of 2,200 vote in the presidential primary in 2012. Tennessee blew away the state’s presidential primary early voting record from eight years ago, with a total of 383,259 people casting ballots. The state had 192,362 vote early in the presidential primary in 2012. Early voting started Feb. 10 and closed on Feb. 23. The primary, known unofficially as the ‘SEC primary’ will be held March 1.

illegal narcotics at his residence. Cruz Cortez Nunn, 28, of Homer Road Apartments #9, Booneville, was arrested on charges of possession of firearm by convicted felon and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Both charges were enhanced, being within 1,500 feet of a daycare. He was also charged with sale of methamphetamine and tampering with physical evidence, said Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey. Booneville Police Officers and Criminal Investigation Division units, North Mississippi Narcotics and Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department Narcotics Officers executed a search warrant at Nunn’s residence at Homer Road Apartments Feb. 16. Officers seized several grams of meth, marijuana, $2,000 cash and a high point 9mm pistol, Ramey said.

Pharmacy supports children’s hospitals MEMPHIS — For the 11th consecutive year, fred’s Pharmacy will be the catalyst for its customers to support children’s health by donating to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The campaign at every fred’s location allows shoppers to make a contribution from February 28 to April 9. fred’s collects the donations, and then distributes them to the benefit of the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in the specific community where the donation is given. For every donation of $1, $5 and $10, customers will be given coupons good for redemption in the store – $1 donation receives a $1 off coupon for Mars bag candy, $5 donation receives a $2 off coupon for Gain Flings or Tide Pods, and $10 donation receives a $3 off coupon for Coca Cola 12 pack of any flavor. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals is a nonprofit organization dedicated to generating funds and awareness for children’s hospitals across North America.

The organization assists 170 children’s hospitals that provide special care to injured and sick children. fred’s raises funds for 39 of those hospitals based on the locations of fred’s stores in 15 states across the southeastern United States. “fred’s is excited to begin our second decade of partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and its mission to ensure quality healthcare for children,” said Tracy Herr, Vice President of Advertising at fred’s. “Our customers have annually opened their hearts and wallets to this organization, and we are proud to serve as the location where they can express their generosity. “During our 10th celebration year in 2015, fred’s customers gave a remarkable $777,205, sending our first decade total to more than $5.6 million,” Herr added. “It is humbling to watch these totals grow one dollar at a time. Each customer who donates is a hero to children in need.” In addition to the generosity of its customers, fred’s Pharmacy stores will host their own events such as barbecues, raffles and bake sales, all of which add to the total donations. Coupons awarded to customers who donate at fred’s will be valid until May 9, 2016. “We are more than just the locations for giving, we are actively raising awareness for this important organization,” adds Herr. “We feel it is valuable to each community that we use our time and resources to promote the important work of Children’s Miracle Network.” UM Alumna, Bush Staffer to Speak at Law Graduation

Address highlights community service OXFORD — The University of Mississippi School of Law welcomes alumna Tobi Young, general counsel and staff secretary for the George W. Bush Presidential Center, as the featured speaker at the school’s graduation, set for 11

a.m. May 14 in the Grove. Young will speak at the law school’s individual ceremony, which will follow the main university Commencement at 9 a.m. “The law school is pleased to have as our speaker one of our outstanding women graduates, particularly since this year marks a century since the first woman was admitted to the Mississippi bar,” said Debbie Bell, the law school’s interim dean. “Tobi has a remarkable career in public service.” Young also serves as President Bush’s designated Presidential Records Act representative. She previously served as special assistant to the president and associate counsel in the Office of the White House Counsel. “I am looking forward to returning to Oxford, and I’m honored to join the law school graduates and their families during this time of celebration and accomplishment,” Young said. “I remember well the anxiety and excitement that comes with this time, so I hope to share lessons learned on my journey from Ole Miss to the White House and to encourage them to use their skill set to build better communities and a stronger country.” Before joining the White House staff, Young was a trial attorney and counsel to the assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. She also served as a law clerk to Judge Jerome A. Holmes of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. Young graduated magna cum laude in 2003 from the UM School of Law, where she was selected by the faculty as the Outstanding Senior Law Student for the Phi Delta Phi award. She also attended Dartmouth College and graduated magna cum laude from George Washington University. (For more information about the law school’s commencement, visit the school’s graduation page.)

STARKVILLE — Selftaught, against-the-grain musician and composer Reginald R. Robinson is among some of the world’s most talented pianists who will be performing during Mississippi State’s 10th annual Charles H. Templeton Ragtime and Jazz Festival. “I’ve never been to Mississippi, and this festival is a great reason to make my first visit,” the Chicago native said. “Aside from performing at the 10th annual Ragtime and Jazz Festival, I very much look forward to hearing the other wonderful musicians.” Robinson, the festival’s first African American performer, said he developed an interest in music by listening to other African American musicians and composers. They included Louis Chauvin (18811908), Harry P. Guy (1870-1950), Joe Jordan (1882-1971) and James Scott (1885-1938). “Immediately after hearing those guys, I just became so excited about what I was hearing. I would listen to their music over and over again, and I decided that I wanted to make my own pieces,” Robinson said. As for ragtime, Robinson said that his appreciation for the music style was inspired by a special occasion at school. “One day, visiting musicians came and put on a show that covered many different styles, from early classical music through modern jazz,” he recalled. “During the middle of the program, I heard Scott Joplin’s ‘Entertainer.’ At the time I had no idea who Scott Joplin was, but I recognized that song. It was catchy and fascinating, and I decided that I wanted to find out more about that kind of music and play it.” Though unable to afford music lessons, Robinson’s parents were able to provide him with a piano. At the age of 13, he began teaching and quizzing himself on how to read and write music.

Corinth, Miss.

Unlock the terrorist’s phone One school of thought years ago was that the Large Hadron Collider, the enormous contraption built to bash particles together, might inadvertently become a doomsday device. The collider has been in operation since 2008 and hasn’t yet destroyed the Earth by creRich ating microscopic black holes Lowry or wreaking other planetary mayhem. But now, according National to Apple CEO Tim Cook, an alReview most equally dangerous threat has emerged: that the iconic tech company might cooperate with the FBI in a terrorism investigation. The FBI wants access to the iPhone of San Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook, and Cook is resisting and putting his refusal in apocalyptic terms. Should Apple comply with a judge’s order to help the FBI, we’re supposed to believe, it will have created the privacy equivalent of a doomsday device, making everyone vulnerable to the intrusions of government and depredations of hackers and criminals. This is trite marketing – only Apple can save us from Big Brother, and by the way, please keep buying our phones – masquerading as bravery. In the San Bernardino case, one wonders whose privacy Apple thinks it’s protecting. As former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy notes, Farook is dead. There is no doubt that the government has probable cause to search his phone. And the phone in question didn’t even belong to him. It is the property of his former employer, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, which had the right to search it at will and is fine with the FBI gaining access to it. Apple wants to give the impression that the key to Farook’s phone is the key to the kingdom, but it’s not so. As Timothy Lee explains on the website Vox, the FBI doesn’t need to defeat the encryption on Farook’s phone and thus, in theory, endanger the encryption on other phones. It just needs to get into the phone. For that, it needs to get past the first line of defense, the device’s passcode. This is possible through what is called “brute force.” A robot can punch in every possible combination until the phone unlocks. Except the iPhone has various security features to defeat anyone who doesn’t know the passcode. The FBI wants Apple to change the software on Farook’s phone so it can force the device open. This isn’t Armageddon. As Lee writes, “Apple has tacitly admitted that it can modify the software on Farook’s iPhone to give the FBI access without damaging the security of anyone else’s iPhone.” Apple’s position is basically, Don’t worry about ISIS, don’t worry about tracking down every possible lead in a terrorism case, don’t worry about the families of the victims, who, of course, want the mass murderer’s phone unlocked. Worry about what cooperating with the government might do to the company’s reputation, and about a parade of horribles that might ensue if we slide from here several miles down a slippery slope. This case shouldn’t mean an inevitable downward slide. Susan Hennessey and Benjamin Wittes argue persuasively on the blog Lawfare that Apple’s warning about a “dangerous precedent” is inapt, since if cooperation is appropriate in this case, the only precedent is for cooperation in other appropriate cases. If Apple wants to avoid getting coerced by Congress into building a real “backdoor” to all its software going forward, a much larger and more fraught proposition, it has embarked on a foolish course by choosing such an unsympathetic test case. The chances are high that Apple will be seen to be acting unreasonably – since it is acting unreasonably. Apple’s contribution to American life is a product that is almost impossible to live without. The company is synonymous with sleek and cool, and has an enormous reservoir of goodwill. It shouldn’t diminish it by staking out an indefensible position and elevating it to faux high principle. Unlock Syed Rizwan Farook’s phone. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today Lord God, help me to feel the power of praise. “As words without thoughts never to heaven go,” so the highest praises are never sung alone, but rendered with service and love. May I have the heart to sing thy praises far and near, and rejoice in him from whom all blessings flow. Amen.

The Schumer-Biden test Everyone knows the meaning of the word “hypocrite” and no one can claim absolute constancy when it comes to living a life consistent with one’s stated values. But in this election year, hypocrisy is on full display. It is now being practiced with neither shame nor irony by leading Democrats, who once forcefully argued positions they have now abandoned. Definitions help focus the mind and so here is one for “hypocrite” from dictionary.com: “a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.” That seems to fit Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Vice President Joe Biden (hypocrite-Washington), who now take positions opposite ones they previously took with apparent conviction when it comes to hearings and votes on a president’s nominees to the Supreme Court. In 2007, Schumer delivered a speech to the American Constitution Society in which he said, “We should

not confirm any Bush nominee to the Supreme Court except in extraordinary circumCal stances. They Thomas must prove by actions Columnist not words that they are in the mainstream rather than we have to prove that they are not.” That speech came 543 days before the 2008 election. Schumer now says the Senate should hold hearings and that the full Senate should be allowed to vote on President Obama’s forthcoming nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, though fewer than 300 days remain before this year’s election. Schumer brushes oﬀ charges of hypocrisy, saying any comparison of his position then and his polar opposite position now is “apples and oranges.” More like rotten apples and oranges. Vice President Biden is also caught in a hypocritical trap of his own making. In 1992, while serving as chair-

man of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Biden said that in the event a vacancy on the Supreme Court should occur during a year when President George H.W. Bush was seeking a second term, Bush should “not name a nominee until after the November election is completed.” Biden also took the exact position then that the current chairman of the committee, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), is taking now. In 1992, Biden said his committee “should seriously consider not scheduling confirmation hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over.” Biden said such consideration would be “unfair to the president, to the nominee, or to the Senate itself. Where the nation should be treated to a consideration of constitutional philosophy, all it will get in such circumstances is partisan bickering and political posturing from both parties and from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.” Well, yes. Those previous arguments by two leading Democrats are now being recy-

cled by Republicans. Biden today explains his 1992 remarks were “hypothetical.” No, they were hypocritical, given his current contradictory position. This helps explain why so many people hate Washington and why everyone gets my lecture circuit laugh line: “I’m from Washington, D.C., where the only politicians with convictions are in prison.” Republican members of Congress have been taking to the floor and reading excerpts from those not so long ago Schumer and Biden speeches. They should continue to do so, making their positions then, the test now. And should the situation be reversed in the future, with a Republican president and a Senate with a majority of Democrats, Republicans should remember the positions they are taking now, or risk being called hypocrites. It is a label that is commonly and increasingly bipartisan. (Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@ tribpub.com.)

Nationalism and populism propel Trump As the returns came in from South Carolina Saturday night, showing Donald Trump winning a decisive victory, a note of nervous desperation crept into the commentary. Political analysts pointed out repeatedly that if all of the votes for Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Ben Carson were added up, they far exceeded the Trump vote. Why this sudden interest in arithmetic? If the field can be winnowed, we were told, if Carson and Kasich can be persuaded to follow Bush and get out, if Cruz can be sidelined, if we can get a oneon-one Rubio-Trump race, Trump can be stopped. But is this true? Or are the media deluding themselves? Watching these anchors, commentators, consultants and pundits called to mind the Cleveland Governors Conference of 1964. Sen. Goldwater had just won the winner-take-all California primary, defeating Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, assuring himself of enough delegates to go over the top on the first ballot at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. But with polls showing Barry losing massively to LBJ, the panicked governors at Cleveland conspired to block his nomination. Michigan Gov. George Romney and Pennsylvania Gov. Bill Scranton were prodded to enter the race. Scranton would declare his

availability in San Francisco with a letter accusing Goldwater of hostility toward civil Pat rights – BarBuchanan ry had voted against the Columnist 1964 bill – and of excessive tolerance toward rightwing extremists. And what became of them all? Goldwater won his nomination and went down in a historic defeat, but became a beloved figure and the father of modern conservatism. Of those who turned their backs on Goldwater that fall, none ever won a presidential nomination. Of those who stood by Barry that fall, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, both would win the GOP nomination twice, and the presidency twice. And the conservative movement would hold veto power over party nominees and become the dominant philosophy of the GOP. Folks forget. Not only were there “liberal Republicans” and “moderate Republicans” back then, they dominated the landscape. Yet rare is the Republican today who would describe himself in such terms. Which brings us back to the anti-Trump cabal. While their immediate goal is to deny him the nomination, do they really think that if the party nomi-

nates Rubio, things can be again as they were before Trump? Do they not see that America and the West are undergoing a series of crises that will change our world forever? Bernie Sanders is not all wrong. There is a revolution going on. Late in the last century, when Robert Bartley was editorial editor, The Wall Street Journal championed a constitutional amendment of five words – “There shall be open borders.” Bartley, who told colleague Peter Brimelow, “I think the nation-state is finished,” wanted U.S. borders thrown open to people and goods from all over the world. To Bartley and his acolytes, what made America one nation and one people was simply an ideology. But what was silly then is suicidal today. Given the huge trade deficits with China, Japan, Mexico and the EU, the hemorrhaging of manufacturing, the stagnation of wages and the decline of the middle class, does anyone think that if Trump is turned back, the GOP can continue on being a freetrade party financed by the Beltway agents of transnational corporations? Absent some major attack on the homeland, do our foreign policy elites believe the American people would support new U.S. interventions to defeat, occupy and tutor Third World nations

in liberal democracy? Trump is winning because, on immigration, amnesty, securing our border and staying out of any new crusades for democracy, he has tapped into the most powerful currents in politics: economic populism and “America First” nationalism. Look at the crowds Trump draws. Look at the record turnouts in Republican caucuses and primaries. If Beltway Republicans think they can stop Trump and turn back the movement behind him, and continue on with today’s policies on trade, immigration and intervention, they will be swept into the same dustbin of history as the Rockefeller Republicans. America is saying, “Goodbye to all that.” For Trump is not only a candidate. He is a messenger from Middle America. And the message he is delivering to the establishment is: We want an end to your policies and we want an end to you. If the elites think they can not only deny Trump the nomination, but turn back this revolution and reestablish themselves in the esteem of the people, they delude themselves. This is hubris of a high order. (Daily Corinthian columnist Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.)

Apple: FBI seeks ‘dangerous power’ in fight over phone BY ERIC TUCKER AND TAMI ABDOLLAH Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Apple Inc. on Thursday asked a federal magistrate to reverse her order that the company help the FBI hack into a locked iPhone, accusing the federal government of seeking “dangerous power” through the courts and of trampling on its constitutional rights. The filing represents Apple’s first oﬃcial response since the judge’s order last week and builds upon arguments voiced by the company’s chief executive and supporters. It marks the latest salvo in a court fight that could create meaningful precedent and establish new legal boundaries in the policy battle between national security and digital privacy — a clash FBI Director James Comey says is the “hardest question I’ve seen in government.” “No court has ever authorized what the government now seeks, no law supports such unlimited and sweeping use of the judicial process, and the Constitution forbids it,” Apple said. The Justice Department is proposing a “boundless interpretation” of the law that, if left unchecked, could bring disastrous repercussions, the company warned in a memo submitted to Magistrate Sheri Pym that aggressively challenges policy justifications put forward by the Obama administration in the last several days. “The government says: ‘Just this once’ and ‘Just this phone.’ But the government knows those statements are not true,” lawyers for Apple wrote. If Apple were required to build the software the FBI wants, the lawyers argued, “criminals, terrorists and hackers will no doubt view the code as a major prize and

can be expected to go to considerable lengths to steal it.” Justice Department lawyers were reviewing Apple’s brief and will respond, said spokeswoman Melanie Newman. She said Apple had reversed “its long-standing” cooperation with government requests, and that when Justice Department oﬃcials want to search a phone or another electronic device, “we narrowly target our request to apply to the individual device” and get a judge’s approval. A hearing is scheduled for next month. A judge in Brooklyn has yet to rule in a similar but separate case. Apple had until Friday to file its formal objection, but in submitting its brief on Thursday, the company got ahead of a scheduled shareholders meeting and took attention away from Comey, who defended the Justice Department’s stance in two separate appearances before Congress. The dispute broke into public view last Tuesday when Pym directed Apple to help the FBI gain access to a phone used by one of the assailants in the San Bernardino, California, attacks. Federal agents haven’t been able to open the phone of Syed Farook because they don’t know the passcode. The Justice Department wants Apple to create specialized software for the iPhone that would bypass some security features so that the FBI can try as many passcodes as possible without the data being erased. The Justice Department has repeatedly maintained that it’s seeking specialized software for just one phone as part of an investigation into an act of terrorism that left 14 people dead, and that Apple could retain and destroy the software once the process ends.

Deputies didn’t expect violence No Gitmo at eviction despite man’s past decision on Associated Press

BAILEY, Colo. — Authorities brought numbers this time in case of trouble, but they never expected a long-delayed eviction would turn into a deadly shootout with a Colorado man who peacefully refused to leave his foreclosed home two years earlier. Martin Wirth ranted against law enforcement corruption and beat a murder charge more than 20 years ago, but officers who followed him inside the mountain house did not expect he would turn his rifle on them. When the smoke cleared, three deputies had been shot, one fatally, and Wirth was dead. The 58-year-old was a political activist whose life was pocked with violent outbursts and run-ins with the law that culminated in Wednesday’s bloodshed. But the eight officers who came to oust Wirth were more concerned he would run away than shoot at them, Sheriff Fred Wegener said Thursday. “We did not force a violent confrontation yesterday,” said Wegener, who joined deputies at the scene of the botched eviction. “Mr. Wirth did.”

The shootout shocked the community of Bailey where the slain deputy, Cpl. Nate Carrigan, was a familiar face. It also stunned some of Wirth’s friends, who recalled him as a well-intentioned activist worn down by years of fighting for his home. “He definitely had an angry streak,” said fellow activist Chris Mandel, who shot a video of Wirth posted on the website of the Colorado Foreclosure Resistance Coalition, an organization aligned with the Occupy Denver movement. “He was very idealistic. He really hated the injustice of the world.” In the video, Wirth said he refused to pay his mortgage because he claimed lenders were criminals who had defrauded homeowners. The government-controlled mortgage company Fannie Mae took ownership of his home in 2014. It was not clear why Wirth was allowed to remain for two more years. Wegener said a previous attempt to evict Wirth in 2014 ended peacefully after he talked to the sheriﬀ’s oﬃce. Deputies finally posted the eviction notice on his door on

Feb. 16, the sheriff said. They returned Wednesday, instructed to remove Wirth and his property, a Jan. 25 court order shows. The sheriff said they were aware of Wirth’s prior confrontations with law enforcement, including his January arrest for eluding a police officer, obstructing a law enforcement animal and driving without insurance and a license. They considered his eviction “high-risk.” He also was acquitted of second-degree murder in 1994 after fatally shooting his 24-year-old neighbor during an argument over a chess game. Wirth testified that the man provoked him and lunged for his revolver before he shot him twice in the chest in Fort Collins. He wrote disparagingly of the government and police in seething posts on his Facebook page. “He was a person who was constantly saying the government was out to get him. Nothing was his fault, it was always someone else’s,” said Dan Spykstra, who got a protection order against Wirth in 2005 after he made violent threats at a court-ordered drug and alcohol counseling program.

Cuba trip Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama doesn’t plan to make an announcement about the future of the U.S.-controlled naval station and detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, when he travels to the island next month, Defense Secretary Ash Carter assured members of Congress on Thursday. Carter’s remarks followed concern expressed by the Republican chairman of a House panel that Obama might use the visit to unveil a shift at Guantanamo, a sprawling installation that houses the prison and also serves as a U.S. outpost for security in the Caribbean. “Can you assure us there’s no plan for any change of our operations and historic role there,” Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., chairman of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, asked Carter. In a last attempt to make good on an unfulfilled campaign promise, Obama on Tuesday submitted a plan for closing the detention center to Congress, which quickly rejected the proposal. Despite the objections, Carter made a pitch for the plan, telling panel members there are detainees at Guantanamo who cannot be safely transferred to the custody of another country. Under Obama’s plan, roughly 35 of the 91 prisoners will be transferred to other countries in the coming months, leaving up to 60 detainees who are either facing trial by military commission or have been determined to be too dangerous to release but are not facing charges. Those detainees would be relocated to a U.S. facility.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Hearing set in case of excessive force HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — A contempt hearing is set for an Alabama police chief and captain accused of violating a court order in an officer’s excessive-force trial. U.S. District Judge Madeline Haikala has ordered Madison Police Chief Larry Muncey and Captain Terrell Cook to appear in court March 22. Officer Eric Parker was acquitted of a federal charge of using excessive force against 58-year-old Sureshbhai Patel in February 2015 but still faces a federal civil case and a state assault charge. Haikala says the court believes Muncey and Cook violated a sequestration order during the first trial by reading details of testimony given by Parker’s colleagues and having another officer monitor the trial when they’d been subpoenaed as witnesses. Muncey and Cook did not immediately return telephone calls and emails.

50-year term sought in teacher’s murder SALEM, Mass. — Prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence a Massachusetts teenager who raped and killed his math teacher to at least 50 years in prison. Seventeen-year-old Philip Chism will be sentenced Friday in the 2013 killing of Danvers High School teacher Colleen Ritzer. He was 14 when he killed her. Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett’s office filed a memo in court Thursday asking that Chism be sentenced to life in prison on the murder charge, with parole eligibility after 25 years. Prosecutors also asked for a life sentence with parole eligibility after 25 years on a charge of aggravated rape. They want those sentences served consecutively. Chism’s attorney has asked that his client be given concurrent sentences and serve 26 years in prison. Jurors rejected an insanity defense.

ORLANDO, Fla. — SeaWorld acknowledged that it sent its own workers to infiltrate an animal rights group that opposed the practices of the theme park. The development comes months after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals accused a SeaWorld employee of trying to incite violence while posing as a fellow animal rights activist. SeaWorld Entertainment CEO Joel Manby vowed Thursday to end the practice, but said that it had sent its employees to protect the safety of its employees and customers. “We recognize the need to ensure that all of our security and other activities align with our core values and ethical standards,” Manby said. However, the company refused to say who had authorized the infiltration, how long it had been going on, or how many workers were used to infiltrate animal rights groups or other opponents. SeaWorld spokeswoman Aimee Jeansonne Becka cited the confidential nature of its security practices. The employee at the center of the accusations by PETA, Paul McComb, is still employed by SeaWorld but working in another department, the company said Thursday. PETA said last summer that its own investigation revealed that McComb, a human resource worker, attempted to incite protesters and had posted incendiary comments on social media while masquerading as an animal-rights activist since 2012.

50-foot swells mean jolt. The more than ninesurfing meet is a go HALIEWA, Hawaii — After days of massive waves in Hawaii, some reaching 50 feet high and washing over roads and homes, organizers gave the nod Thursday morning to begin the Eddie Aikau big-wave surfing competition. Organizers of the rarely-held and invitation-only Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau contest on Oahu’s North Shore said the waves met the requirements of being 40-feet tall with sustained swells that lasted long enough to run multiple heats. In more than 30 years, those conditions have only been met nine times, including Thursday. The event was last held in 2009. Eddie’s brother, Clyde, says this is one of the best swells he has ever seen in all the years he has surfed in Waimea Bay. He’s the only competitor to surf in all eight previous competitions. Elite surfers from around the globe grabbed their boards and hopped on planes when organizers gave the green light for the event earlier in the week, despite the fact that it could be canceled at any time. That’s what happened earlier this month, when organizers called off the event hours before it was supposed to go ahead because conditions weren’t right.

With Nelson on the floor, someone asks if he is breathing and someone responds he is turning blue.

Bald thief stealing Rogaine, police say MOUNT HEALTHY, Ohio — Police in suburban Cincinnati are on the lookout for a bald man they say has been stealing hair growth and memory aid products from stores. Mount Healthy police have issued an alert for “a serial thief” they say recently took $847 worth of Rogaine and Prevagen products from a Walgreens store in the city just north of Cincinnati. Police say he is linked to similar thefts from retailers in nearby suburbs. Police say the man is believed to drive a white Jeep. They’re not sure if he’s using any of the products himself but suspect he tries to sell them online or at flea markets. Mount Healthy Detective Chris Jones tells WCPO-TV that police are “scratching our heads at this, no pun intended,” over the Rogaine thefts.

Legislators talk gas tax for road repairs JACKSON — The heads of the Mississippi Legislature’s transportation committee are considering raising the gas tax to maintain the state’s highways and bridges. The joint House-Senate committee heard a presentation from the Mississippi Economic Council Thursday that called for $375 million a year to meet the repair needs. The committee heard from state transportation head Melinda McGrath earlier this month. She called for $526 million more a year to repair more than one-third of highways and nearly one-fourth of bridges in the state. Committee Chairmen Willie Simmons of Cleveland and Charles Busby of Pascagoula say that a small tax increase outweighs the costs of doing nothing to repair the roads.

Third-grade reading bill fails in recount JACKSON — A requirement for third-graders to score higher on a reading test, which officials initially said had passed the Mississippi Senate by one vote, actually failed. Senate President Pro Tem Terry Burton, a Newton Republican, said Thursday that votes were miscounted and that Senate Bill 2157 lost on a 25-24 vote. Senators held the measure for reconsideration, though, and the outcome could change. Some Republicans oppose the bill because it allows the state to contract with the current teacher training provider without seeking competing proposals. Starting in spring 2019, third-graders would have to score higher to reach fourth grade.

Cops: High schooler was Ukrainian adult

House passes bill on court districts

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Police say a central Pennsylvania high school honors student was actually a 23-yearold Ukrainian national using a false identity after his visa expired. Artur Samarin was arrested and charged Tuesday by the Harrisburg police. Police say he pretended to be Harrisburg High School student Asher Potts, who had a 4.16 grade-point average and was in the National Honor Society. Samarin was actively involved at the school, working with a student advisory group on a food bank, and a member of the school’s ROTC and Naval Sea Cadet programs. Police say he had a Pennsylvania driver’s license in Potts’ name when he was arrested.

JACKSON — The Mississippi House voted Wednesday to revise the state Supreme Court districts, but only after a racially charged debate about whether the bill is meant to prevent AfricanAmericans from being elected to the court. House Bill 868 passed 71-50 on a largely party line vote, with Republicans in favor and Democrats against. The measure was held for the possibility of more House debate before it can go to the Senate for more work. It would move Simpson County from the Southern District into the Central District. House Judiciary A Committee Chairman Mark Baker, R-Brandon, said the change would give all three districts an even population and racial makeup. The change

also would affect districts for members of the state Public Service and Transportation commissions. Democrats, though, said the move would harm chances of black politicians being elected in the Central District. John Hines, DGreenville, proposed an amendment to move Adams County into the Central District instead of Simpson County. That would have kept the districts’ population numbers even and put Adams County in a district that votes the same.

Drugs in ice chest prompt guilty plea GULFPORT — The discovery of crystal meth hidden in ice chest linings has led to a man’s guilty plea to conspiracy to deliver more than 10 pounds of meth from Los Angeles to Mississippi. The Sun Herald reports 35-year-old James Robinson pleaded guilty Monday to a conspiracy charge involving meth trafficking in U.S. District Court in Gulfport. The charge carries maximum penalties of 20 years in prison, a $1 million fine and three years’ probation. Judge Sul Ozerden set sentencing for May 24. Robinson’s arrest was part of a Drug Enforcement Administration investigation that began in Gulfport with help from the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and led to related federal indictments. It’s unclear if a Los Angeles supplier has been arrested.

Jackson set to sell city-owned property JACKSON — In an attempt to address the city’s blight, Jackson City Council members have passed an order that would allow for the sale of city-owned properties to homeowners and residents of Jackson. The Clarion-Ledger reports Mayor Tony Yarber called the Neighbors First Lot Program the most significant program that the city administration and council has worked on. The program sets up

a procedure by which a Jackson homeowner can purchase city-owned properties — vacant lots for $10 or lots with existing structures needing rehabilitation for $50. The city will conduct a period of public education for residents, including publishing where the properties are located, before it begins.

Lawsuit: Confining doctor is cover-up JACKSON — A Greenwood oncologist is suing Attorney General Jim Hood and officials of the Mississippi Department of Mental Health, claiming they’re illegally confining him to conceal how an alleged hit man died in April 2012. Dr. Arnold Smith sued Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Jackson. The oncologist has been confined at the Mississippi State Hospital in Whitfield since 2014, after a judge ruled him mentally incompetent for trial on capital murder and conspiracy charges. Authorities say Smith hired Keira Byrd to kill attorney Lee Abraham, with whom Smith had disputes. Byrd died in a shootout at Abraham’s office in April 2012, and the suit claims an investigator for Hood killed him “execution-style” and not in self-defense.

Man watched child porn at Seabee base GULFPORT — A Mississippi man who was caught at the Naval Construction Battalion Center touching himself and looking at images of children engaged in sex acts on a computer has been ordered to serve 25 years under supervised release. The Sun Herald reports John Daniel Wanzo pleaded guilty in October to possession of child pornography. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden gave him credit for time served under home confinement since his October 2014 arrest in Jacksonville, Florida. In addition, the judge ordered him to pay a $7,500 fine and a $100 special assessment fee.

With about 90 percent of company results in the books, fourth quarter earnings for the Standard & Poor’s 500 index are on track to fall 4.5 percent compared with a year ago, according to S&P Capital IQ. The big culprit: a 74 percent plunge in energy company profits. For the full year, S&P 500 earnings are headed for a 0.7 percent decline, and analysts think they will fall in the first and second quarters of 2016 as well. Analysts expect earnings to turn around later in the year and post a gain for 2016, but they are getting less optimistic: Analysts now forecast 2.2 percent growth, down from a forecast of 7.4

Wall Street expects that J.C. Penney turned a profit in its fiscal fourth quarter after a string of quarterly losses. The department store chain, which is due to report financial results today, has been in the red for several quarters. The losses declined in each of the first three quarters of Penney's fiscal 2016, which ended in January. Penney benefited from a strong holiday season. It has since begun selling refrigerators, washing machines and other appliances.

The latest data on income and spending should provide insight into how the American consumer is doing. Spending by individuals is a huge driver of the U.S. economy, so the less people spend, the less the economy grows. In December, consumers kept their spending flat as incomes rose only 0.3 percent. The rise in incomes and flat spending pushed the savings rate to 5.5 percent of after-tax income. That was the highest since December 2012. The Commerce Department reports today its January data for personal income and spending.

Inevitable illness overshadows man’s personal relationships D E A R ABBY: I have just separated from my wife. I don’t Abigail plan on datanytime Van Buren ing soon, but I will eventuDear Abby ally. I have a disease that caused my immune system to destroy my liver cells. There is no way to predict whether my liver will fail in five days or five years. Would it be wrong to date knowing I have this disease? There is no cure, just a liver transplant if my liver fails completely. Also, if it’s OK to date, when should I tell someone about my illness? I have no friends because at some point they will see me jaundiced and sick, and I would have to burden them with my health issues or lie.

-- NEWLY SEPARATED IN MONTANA DEAR NEWLY SEPARATED: You are allowing your illness to rule your life, and that’s not a prescription that’s healthy for anyone. Many people suffer from health problems, but they don’t cut themselves off from relationships as you have. Yes, you can date. If it looks like there could be a future, you should bring up the subject of your health at that time. But in the meantime, my advice is to make every effort to enjoy the time you have. DEAR ABBY: As an older male retiree, I frequently encounter people at social gatherings who tilt their heads back, narrow their eyes and ask, “Exactly what was it that you did at XYZ Corporation?” When they find out I was what they consider to be “just a paper-pusher,” they

abruptly turn their backs and walk away. Can you suggest an appropriate response to this form of snobbery? -- PAPER-PUSHER IN ARIZONA DEAR PAPER-PUSHER: When someone asks that question, you might smile and respond, “You know, I’m having such a great time in retirement, I can’t really recall what I did there!” Or, if you’re feeling mischievous, you could call out after the person, “Just kidding! I was the CEO.” And if the person turns to come back, turn YOUR back and walk away because, if your perception is correct, you have been conversing with someone who has terrible manners and no class. Dear Abby is written by Abigail 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.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Body builders know that the way to get stronger is to lift more weight and do it for more repetitions. That’s what you’re up to these days: The more you try to do, the more you’re able to do. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In just this one day you could achieve many tasks, but you wisely home in on the single most important, heart-fortifying activity on the list and find profound satisfaction in sticking to that. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Those who laugh too much seem too eager to please, while those who laugh too little are repellent buzz-kills. You’ll strike the perfect balance, seeing the humor but not always calling it out. CANCER (June 22-July 22). To be interesting you have to be interested. You’re both. In fact, you may want to pull back a tad: As you’ve probably noticed, you’ve hooked some amorous attention that may not be entirely appropriate to your current situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t let yourself become too overwhelmed by the long list of things you’d like to do, accomplish, experience and own. It’s quality thoughts that make a quality life, and you can choose those at any moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll get to the bottom of the problem by sensing when there’s more. Mostly this happens when you question people and they seem to be holding back. In most cases, a gentle nudge will be all it takes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t need a four-leaf clover. Your luck is already packed inside your current life. For the most part, you know exactly what your good fortune is and how to use it, but you’re overlooking something, too. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes you need a cynic, a critic or a realist. But not today. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing; positive thinking and optimism will bring solutions and success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The only reason you’re not achieving a desired outcome is that you still don’t believe that it can be, should be and will be yours. Convince your head and your whole being will follow. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Friends will want to visit. Family will want your time. Work will want your attention, too. You feel like blowing everything off just to be with one certain person -and it’s not a bad idea! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You notice the various ways people choose to share themselves with you, and you point out what’s special and different about each contribution. That’s why they feel so spiritually “seen” around you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can’t act effectively unless you understand the situation. For now, take the pressure to act off of yourself completely. What’s important is that you learn and become so wise the correct action will flow naturally from you.

Biggersville and Corinth are at the final step. The two Division 1 champions and Alcorn County Tournament finalists can add another entry to their resumes tonight. Wins tonight in the second round of the girls’ basketball playoﬀs will land them a berth in the annual State Tournament, which begins next week in Jackson. Corinth (16-10) has never qualified for the State Tournament. The Lady Warriors three wins in four days at the Division 1-4A Tournament gave the program its first league title of any kind. Biggersville (19-8) hasn’t made an appearance in the

Capital City since the 20062007. The Lady Lions have made the season-ending tournament just five times in the 42-year history of the five-onfive program. The other four came in a five-year period and included a runner-up finish in the 1991-92 season. Division 1-4A champion Corinth faces Division 3 runner-up Cleveland (19-8), while Biggersville another Division 3 runner-up in the form of 11-9 Coldwater. The two local squads have had the luxury of playing at home in the two must-win qualifiers. Both took close wins on Monday. The Lady Warriors topped their mascot namesake Senatobia — a Division 1-3A foe in the 1991-92 and

1992-93 seasons — 50-43. CHS got a game-high 24 points and eight rebounds from senior Aundrea Adams. Rebounding proved huge in the win as Corinth got 18 second-chance points on 10 oﬀensive boards. Che Curlee, who had 20plus points in the final two games of the 1-4A Tourney, followed Adams with nine points. “They tried to keep the ball out of her hands,” CHS Head Coach Fred Staﬀord said of Senatobia’s game plan. Cleveland advanced with a 41-38 overtime win over Louisville. Tonight’s North winners will draw South opponents in quarterfinal action at Jackson State University. Corinth

and Cleveland match up with Bay and South Pike with that contest set for a 4 p.m. tip on Thursday. Biggersville led Blue Mountain 51-32 at halftime, but needed all 18 fourth-quarter points to advance with a 7569 win. The Lady Cougars used a 21-6 advantage to cut the Lady Lions’ lead to 57-53 after three. Blue Mountain got to within two late, before Jada Tubbs hit four straight free throws the final 25.5 seconds. Tubbs carried the Lady Lions in the second half, scoring 20 of BHS’ 24 points en route to a game-high 36. The Biggersville-Coldwater winner will face Lumberton or West Lowndes at 9 a.m. on Thursday.

Baseball bans rolling block slides due to Utley The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Baseball made its call on the Chase Utley slide: out. Major League Baseball and the players’ union have banned rolling blocks to break up potential double plays, hoping to prevent a repeat of the takeout by Utley that broke the leg of New York Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada during last year’s playoﬀs. “From my understanding, we’ve been trying to work on this for a few years now,” Utley said at the Los Angeles Dodgers’ camp, “so I don’t think one instance determined everything.”

Maybe, but fans may see it another way — the Chase Utley Rule. Under the change announced Thursday, a runner must attempt a “bona fide slide,” defined as making contact with the ground ahead of the base, being in position to and trying to reach the base with a hand or foot, trying to remain on the base after the slide, and sliding within reach of the base without changing his path to initiate contact with a fielder. An umpire can call both the runner and batter out for a violation. Baserunners may not elevate or kick a leg above

the fielder’s knee or throw his arm or upper body. A runner who makes a permissible slide cannot be charged with interference, even if he makes contact with a fielder. “I imagine there will be a little bit of an adjustment for the middle infielders, but also the baserunners,” Utley said. Tejada missed the World Series due to the injury sustained at Dodger Stadium in the NL Division Series. Utley was suspended for two games, a penalty still under appeal. “Did Chase catch him good? Yeah. Could Tejada have maybe done a couple things to get

out of the way?,” said Philadelphia infielder-outfielder Cody Asche, a former Utley teammate. Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus looked at Utley’s slide and the rule change from two perspectives. “I didn’t have any problem with that, even if it looked a little dirty,” he said. “But in that situation, I’d probably be doing the same, trying to break the double play.” But then he added: “As a fielder, that’s awesome. Nobody’s going to get you if you’re out of the way.” Please see SLIDES | 11A

Tennessee AD Hart stands by embattled coach The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart stood by his embattled football coach Thursday and said his department doesn’t interfere with the school’s disciplinary process, two weeks after a lawsuit alleged that the university mishandles sexual assault complaints against athletes. “I trust Butch Jones implic-

itly,” Hart said. “I know who he is. I know what his work ethic is. I know what he’s meant to this university, well beyond the department of athletics, and I know how he’s represented the university.” Jones was at the center of an amended complaint filed Wednesday. The complaint stated former Tennessee football player Drae Bowles assisted a woman who said she

had been raped by two other players and that later he was attacked by teammates and told by Jones he had “betrayed the team.” The coach has said he only tried to assist Bowles. Hart, who said he couldn’t address the specifics of the lawsuit, did say he has tremendous empathy and sympathy for alleged victims and all victims of sexual assault

across the country. “It is simply an unacceptable act,” Hart said, adding that university Chancellor Jimmy Cheek has made this his top priority. “This has to gain the attention of everyone.” Hart added that Tennessee athletes who have allegedly committed a crime don’t get Please see COACH | 11A

Vivians scores 21 in No. 16 Mississippi State’s win The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Victoria Vivians scored 21 points and No. 16 Mississippi State beat Vanderbilt 66-61 on Thursday night, handing the Commodores their eighth straight loss. Vivians was 9-of-14 shooting for the Bulldogs (23-6, 10-5), who have posted double-digit SEC victories in consecutive seasons for the first time. Morgan William added 15 points and six assists and

Dominique Dillingham had 12 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Mississippi State kept its hold on third place with one game remaining. Rachel Bell had 14 points, Morgan Batey 12 and Marqu’es Webb and Christa Reed 11 each for Vanderbilt (15-13, 4-11), which had won its last five home games against the Bulldogs. After the Bulldogs missed four consecutive free throws,

Rebekah Dahlman’s 3-pointer got Vanderbilt within three with 33 seconds left. But the Bulldogs made all eight of their free throws from there, including six from William. Mississippi took its biggest lead, 46-30, with four minutes left in the third quarter.

No. 3 South Carolina 66, Ole Miss 45 At Oxford, A’ja Wilson scored 16 points, Tiﬀany

Mitchell added 12 and No. 3 South Carolina beat Mississippi on Thursday night. South Carolina (27-1, 15-0 Southeastern Conference) has won five straight games since its only loss of the season to top-ranked UConn. The Gamecocks jumped out to a 34-19 by halftime, holding Ole Miss to just five points in the second quarter. It was another rough night Please see MSU | 11A

SLIDES CONTINUED FROM 10A

In mid-September, Pittsburgh rookie shortstop Jung Ho Kang’s season ended when his left leg was broken and a knee ligament was torn during a takeout slide by the Chicago Cubs’ Chris Coghlan, who was traded to Oakland on Thursday. “Those incidents put more public attention on the issue and allowed us to focus on it this oﬀseason, but we had been discussing this topic for several years,” MLB Senior Vice President Chris Marinak said. “I think there were a confluence of factors that came together this oﬀseason that led to us make the change.” Kang favored the change but wouldn’t say whether he thought Coghlan’s slide still would be allowed. “Bad luck in a bad spot,” he said through a translator. “The past is the past, and I’m on a new chapter now.” For players’ association head Tony Clark, definition was key. “It allows middle infielders to appreciate where they can go and where they can

be safe,” he said, “as well as allowing players to appreciate ... where they need to go to try and break up the play,” the former All-Star first baseman said. Going forward, takeout slides and neighborhood plays — where a middle infielder fails to touch second base — will be subject to video review. In the past, the neighborhood play wasn’t covered by instant replay. “A shortstop will drag his right foot across the back corner of the base. I don’t think that will ever change,” said Colorado manager Walt Weiss, a former All-Star shortstop. “The second baseman, I think, is more aﬀected by this rule, because sometimes they leave the base before the ball gets there.” Baseball and the union also agreed to limit mound visits by managers and pitching coaches to 30 seconds and to cut the countdown clock for between-innings breaks by 20 seconds, to 2:05 for most games and 2:25 for nationally televised matchups.

treated any differently than general students facing the same circumstances. “We are not the judge and jury,” Hart said. “We have to remember that each person is entitled to due process. We don’t engage in that. We don’t engage in the investigations that take place, be they with law enforcement or student conduct. That’s not our role.” The lawsuit, which was filed Feb. 9 in Nashville, states Tennessee has violated Title IX regulations and created a “hostile sexual environment” through a policy of indifference toward assaults by athletes. It also states the school interfered with the disciplinary process to favor male athletes. The suit now includes eight unidentified women as plaintiffs.

According to the suit, Tim Rogers stepped down as Tennessee’s vice chancellor in 2013 “in protest over the violation of Title IX and the UT administration’s and athletic department’s deliberate indiﬀerence to the clear and present danger of sexual assaults by UT athletes.” The amended complaint submitted Wednesday included a signed declaration from Rogers confirming the accuracy of statements made about him. “My response (to Hart’s comments) is read the lawsuit, read the declarations under oath under penalty of perjury, and we’ll go from there,” said David Randolph Smith, the lawyer representing the plaintiﬀs. Hart said he was proud of the athletic department’s culture but acknowledged improvement is needed.

Curry has 51, sets 3-point record The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Stephen Curry’s smile gave way to laughter. The reigning MVP received an inbounds pass following a free throw, took a couple of dribbles past midcourt before launching a 44-foot shot that banked in at the buzzer. The crowd rose to its feet, Curry lifted his arms and struck a pose before chuckling his way to the Golden State bench. “I was laughing, sure. That really isn’t supposed to happen,” Curry said Thursday night after making 10 3-pointers and scoring 51 points in a 130-

114 victory over the Orlando Magic. “I made a bunch of 3s in the third quarter and then finished with that one,” he added. “It was really funny to me, it just banked oﬀ the glass.” A night after scoring 42 in a six-point victory at Miami, Curry made 20 of 27 shots, including 10 of 15 3-pointers. The Warriors pulled away in the closing minutes of the third quarter, with his bank shot putting the defending NBA champions up 99-91. “Are you guys surprised?” Magic guard Evan Fournier asked reporters. “I’m not. It’s just what he does.”

Curry topped 50 points for the third time this season, the first player to do it that many times since LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in 2008-09. That wasn’t his only highlight of the night. Curry surpassed Kyle Korver’s mark of 127 straight games with a 3, which he tied while making six 3s at Miami on Wednesday night. “I don’t know that the record is that significant because it’s so simple for him. His 3-point shot is like a 2-point shot. It’s what he does,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. “It’s to the point where we expect a half-

court shot. ... It’s a rhythm shot, and it just went in.” Including the postseason, Curry has made 3s in 149 straight games, also a record. “I have a hard time seeing how that streak is ever going to end. It would have to be kind of a fluke night,” Orlando coach Scott Skiles said. “The way he makes them is totally different from Kyle,” Skiles added. “Kyle is sprinting off screens and it’s possible you could switch out and maybe take some away from him, whereas Steph, there are so many of them off the dribble and from 30 feet and fading away.”

The Rebels were led by Madinah Muhammad’s 20 points. South Carolina continued its undefeated charge through league play thanks to a dominant night from its post players. The Gamecocks had a 40-8 scoring advantage in the paint with Wilson and Alaina Coates continually getting easy baskets. Wilson, a 6-foot-5 junior, made all eight of her field-goal attempts while the 6-foot-4 Coates

scored 11 points on 5 of 7 shooting. The size advantage was also evident when South Carolina was on defense. Ole Miss was usually able to penetrate into the lane, but rarely had open looks around the basket. Wilson had five blocked shots and Coates had two. South Carolina only needs to beat LSU at home on Sunday to complete its perfect run through the SEC regular season. TIP-INS

South Carolina: The Gamecocks have won 10 of 12 games against Ole Miss since Dawn Staley became the Gamecocks’ coach in 2008. ... Coates finished with her 15th double-double of the season, grabbing a teamhigh 14 rebounds. Ole Miss: This was the Rebels’ final home game of the season, but there was no senior night. That’s because Ole Miss is the only team in the league without a senior.

MSU CONTINUED FROM 10A

for Ole Miss in a season full of them. The Rebels — who have lost nine straight and 13 of 14 — shot just 14 of 63 (22.2 percent) from the field. Ole Miss (10-18, 2-13) made a brief run in the third quarter to pull within 36-29, but South Carolina’s Bianca Cuevas stopped the charge with a pair of free throws and the Gamecocks were on their way to the win.

square in Tippah County for the purpose of farmers to meet potential buyers with their wares, which included livestock and produce. The sprawling sale, which boasts 500 dealers, is now located along Highway 15, across the street from a long-abandoned movie theater lot, where it moved in the 1970s. In order to draw a larger crowd, it is now held the entire first weekend of the month, instead of Mondays only. According to a crowd tally mentioned in a 2009 Tupelo Daily Journal article, as many as 60,000 can be accommodated in a single weekend, with an average of around 20,000, and up to 500,000 have attended over the course of a year. Apparently, it is popular with north Mississippi locals, as well as visitors from bordering states.

This last weekend in January, when I visited the sale with my friend Tom, the climate was chilly but bearable with a jacket. I can imagine that during the summer, the Southern heat and humidity make a meander through the vicinity miserable. We did have to tromp through a few mud puddles from a recent rain on our ramble through the grounds, but what else might one expect besides a little mud at the single biggest Redneck Trade Extravaganza in the Tri-State area? These days the only â€œtradingâ€? that is doneâ€” as far as I knowâ€”is with cash, but the wares vary widely. Some of the goods include pocket watches, axes, DVDs, Rebel flags, used books, fresh-harvested local honey, shotguns and pistols, porch swings, boxes of cereal and crackers, velvet Elvises, new

and antique tools, novelty lamps imprinted with the Anglicized depiction of Jesus, rocking chairs, and wind chimes fashioned from glass bottles. The fare is carnivallike with a Southern flair: BBQ, foot-long corndogs, Gyros, and funnel cakes. Perhaps the most interesting items for sale are not the ones to be used or eaten but the live ones. Vendors hawk Beagles, Blue Heelers, and Mountain Curs. Poultry abounds, ranging from roosters and chickens to ducks, turkeys, geese, and guineas. Rabbits, goats, and pigs lie languidly awaiting a new home within the confine of wire pens. Part of the experience, though, doesnâ€™t involve any cash. People-watching at the sale is fascinating, with the atmosphere running the gamut between â€œDeliveranceâ€? and Dodge City. For one,

thereâ€™s probably more camouflage attire per capita at First Monday than at many hunting competitions. Itâ€™s likely, too, that more guns abound on the grounds than one could shake an idiomatic stick at. In the midst of deal-making, a number of aďŹ€able bargainers flash toothy grins, along with others who lack prominent teeth. We spent a couple of hours strolling the grounds, especially enjoying viewing the range of canines available. Tom snapped my photograph near a creek covered by a bridge constructed from an old gutted school bus. I made no purchases, but he bought local honey and a glass-bottle wind chime. Perhaps the most interesting find, however, was a table of political paraphernalia that one seller had purchased at an estate sale. There were

a few campaign buttons urging citizens to vote for former Alabama Governor â€œGeorge Wallace for President,â€? along with a stack of bumper stickers touting the same. One, therefore, can ultimately buy pieces of history at First Monday. Thankfully, this was long-ago history, and Wallace was not elected president. While I canâ€™t buy his pro-segregation ideals from the civil rights era, I will borrow the famous phrasing from his 1963 inaugural speech. I say, â€œFirst Monday forever.â€? I plan on returning someday. (Daily Corinthian columnist Stacy Jones teaches English at McNairy Central High School and UT Martin and has served on the board of directors at Corinth Theatre-Arts.

Managing time stress is essential to success Today, more than ever, there is an expectation of virtually instant responses to our desires. Due to the amazing level of available technology, people are able to immediately acBryan get cess to just Golden about any Dare to Live i n f o r m a Without Limits tion, at any time. This process has created an expectation of satisfying our wants with unbelievable speed. However, with respect to goal attainment, the timeframe for accomplishment is not necessarily predictable. Regardless of how quickly you want something to happen, the schedule of success is independent of your expectations. However, success is success,

no matter how much time is required. An educational degree earned in 8 years is just as valuable as one obtained in 4 years. A successful business idea which takes 15 years to implement is no less significant than one taking 5 years. A person who finds the love of their life after 20 years of searching is no less happy than one who met their soul mate in grade school. Although deadlines are motivational, your expectation as to how much time should be needed is inconsequential. If one deadline is missed, set another. Donâ€™t use an expired deadline as an excuse to quit the pursuit of a goal you really want. More often than not, success takes time, sometimes much more time than you could have imagined. Unfortunately, too many people abandon their quest, often when

Since failure only occurs when you give up, giving up ensures failure. It really doesnâ€™t matter how long it takes to reach your goal. Time goes by anyway. If you give up, you guarantee youâ€™ll never reach your destination. they are just around the corner from success. Since failure only occurs when you give up, giving up ensures failure. It really doesnâ€™t matter how long it takes to reach your goal. Time goes by anyway. If you give up, you guarantee youâ€™ll never reach your destination. Patience is required for success. Since thereâ€™s no way to know how much time is needed, you simply keep moving forward. Donâ€™t obsess about the calendar. Although frustration is a normal reaction, it is not an asset in

your quest. Perseverance is just as critical. Not everything you attempt will work as expected. When you stumble or fall, get right back up. Change you approach or direction when necessary. The number of realignments needed is irrelevant. Itâ€™s important to recognize that the only success you have control over is your own. You canâ€™t change someone else or force them to behave in a particular manner, no matter how much time is allowed. Each person is

responsible for who they are. You have no control over external circumstances, but you do have control over your response. How you act when faced with obstacles is a huge determinant of your level of success. Successful people become experts at finding solutions, regardless of how long it takes. Time expectations may be imposed on you by others. When this happens at work, there is a practical advantage to meeting deadlines. But in your own life, otherâ€™s opinions as to how much time you need to achieve an objective have no bearing. Living on your terms is what matters. A negative attitude inhibits achievement, causing you to take an inordinate amount of time to reach a goal, if itâ€™s ever reached at all. This is far

worse than impatience. All progress stops when you believe an objective is impossible. Although you may have no control over the timeline, you must remain consistently active in striving for your goal. Without action, nothing happens. Procrastination halts forward movement. Paralysis by analysis is an insidious trap. Although you may not know how long it will take to reach your destination, you do know it takes action to get there. Find solutions to problems, overcome obstacles, and get up whenever you fall. Success requires one step at a time for as long as it takes.

â€˜Fuller Houseâ€™ may be hit with longtime fans (but no one else) BY FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK â€” If you like this kind of thing, odds are youâ€™ll want to cancel weekend plans and binge on â€œFuller House.â€? Meanwhile, everyone else is strenuously cautioned against Netflixâ€™s spin-oďŹ€ of the 1987-95 sitcom â€œFull House,â€? whose arrival has been awaited with unaccountable waves of excitement from some quarters. Fair warning to the rest: â€œFuller Houseâ€? will be available â€” all 13 episodes â€” starting today. Back when â€œFull Houseâ€? was riding high on ABC, I engaged in the folly of criticizing a critic-proof series, publicly cringing

at what, even then, was retrograde domestic comedy: a loving but wisecracking family anchored in a living room and propelled by saccharine story lines that concluded with life lessons, hugs, and appreciative awwws from the audience soundtrack. â€œFull Houseâ€? was full of it, no question. But who could argue with success? Since so much time has passed, the original conceit has been deftly warmed over for the 21st century. That is, the original â€œFull Houseâ€? followed the adventures of widower Bob Saget after he recruited brother-in-law John Stamos and best friend Dave Coulier to share his San Francisco

digs and help raise his three girls. This go-around, Sagetâ€™s widowed daughter D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), enlists her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and her best friend Kimmy (Andrea Barber), a single mother with a sassy teenage daughter, to share that same house and help raise her three boys, ages 12 and 7 plus a newborn. All this is established in the first episode, which sets the stage by reintroducing the three female characters (played by its all-grown-up â€œFull Houseâ€? alumnae) along with reuniting Saget, Coulier and Stamos as well as Lori Loughlin, still happily wed to Stamosâ€™

character. (Notably, twins MaryKate and Ashley Olsen â€” who from toddlerhood swapped oďŹ€ playing Michelle, the youngest daughter of Sagetâ€™s character â€” are not participating in the spin-oďŹ€, apparently acknowledging, much to their credit, that they have outgrown this piďŹ„e. Their absence is pointedly addressed by Saget when informing the others that â€œMichelle sends her love, but sheâ€™s busy in New York running her fashion empire.â€? With that, the entire ensemble pivots to the camera for a long, knowing pause.) TV has never been shy about copying itself. (â€œImitation is the sincer-

est form of television,â€? as humorist Fred Allen famously declared more than 60 years ago.) And the current TV scene is clearly in repeat mode: â€œThe X-Filesâ€?! â€œHeroes Rebornâ€?! The forthcoming â€œTwin Peaksâ€? and, headed for Netflix, a revived â€œGilmore Girlsâ€? and a Latino â€œOne Day at a Timeâ€? â€” from Norman Lear, no less! Make no mistake: The original â€œFull Houseâ€? triumvirate apparently wonâ€™t have much of a presence in whatâ€™s as much a handoďŹ€ as a spinoďŹ€. After the all-star premiere, Stamos (whose character has now moved to Los Angeles) appears in just one episode, with

Coulier (supposedly now a Las Vegas resident) seen in just one other, among the six half-hours made available for preview. But â€œFuller Houseâ€? revives the comfortably familiar formula of old. The dialogue again seems generated by a comic algorithm: â€œIâ€™m having an acid flashback,â€? says Kimmy, amazed to see everyone. â€œBut I never dropped acid. I did take an antacid once. I must be having an ANTACID flashback.â€? (Cue the laughter.) Force-fed cloying moments also remain part of the act â€” although the most heartrending sight is the guest appearance by erstwhile pop star Macy Gray, who is found headlining at a club where the girls land during a night on the town. â€œWhat am I doing here?â€? Gray asks herself with what might very well be genuine remorse. â€œI won a Grammy!â€? Of course, that was way back when, which is where â€œFuller Houseâ€? resides. The show may be cloaked in the veneer of currency (the characters have smartphones and a Donald Trump joke is delivered). But this new show is designed to repeat sitcom history. Pressing forward by taking a big step backward, â€œFuller Houseâ€? picks up predictably where â€œFull Houseâ€? left oďŹ€. Soon to be installed in the Netflix gallery, it beckons to all viewers who want a sugar fix. You know who you are.

Marriage requires commitment Several years ago I attended a wedding of a friend of my son. The minGary ister perAndrews forming the wedding Devotionals said something that I had never heard before, in a wedding ceremony, and said it loud enough that all in attendance was put on edge. The wedding party had made their way to the front of the church and then the bride came down the aisle and up on the platform. Her father gave her hand to the young man and took his seat. The minister stared at the groom for a few seconds, which seemed like several minutes, without saying a word and then in a very loud voice said, â€œWho do you think you are?â€? He said this two or three times and had the attention of everyone in the church. The stunned groom looked relieved when the ministerâ€™s voice tone came back to normal and he explained why he had said this. This seasoned minister wanted this young man to understand the importance of marriage and the role of a husband. He did not want

the groom to go into this marriage without the assurance that he was ready to fulfill his commitment to his new bride and to God. He wanted both of them to know that it takes two to have a successful marriage and they have to have love for each other without any hesitation. The Old Testament book of Amos 3:3 tell us, â€œCan two walk together, unless they are agreed?â€? So many of our young people of today enter into marriage without the trust of each other and most of the time these two will end up in divorce. Marriage is not to be entered into lightly and if both or either of the happy couple does not have a relationship with the Lord, the marriage will probably endure trouble and many uncertainties. I am not saying this type marriage will not work because many of them have. Marriages require commitment, love, understanding, forgiveness, dedication, loyalty, and a determination to move forward together instead of individually. I firmly believe that when a man and woman are married and they are well grounded in their Christian faith their marriage will be a huge success and long lasting. I am very happy to report

(Suggested daily Bible readings: Sunday â€“ Proverbs 5:18-20; Monday â€“ Genesis 2:18-25; Tuesday â€“ 1 Corinthians 7:1-7; Wednesday â€“ Ecclesiastes 9:9; Thursday â€“ Song of Solomon 6:1-3; Friday â€“ Psalm 36:7-12; Saturday â€“ 1 Colossians 1:9-12.)Â that after several years of marriage the young couple I was talking about is continuing to enjoy a very happy marriage and both are very successful in their careers. Asking Jesus to be the head in any marriage is the first thing any couple should ask for. There is an old saying that says, â€œThe family that prays together, stays together.â€? How true this statement is. Prayer: Thank you Lord for the marriage my wife and I have. You have blessed us so much and have been with us through our diďŹƒculties and our victories. I pray that any couple getting married will consult you first and ask you to be head of their household. Amen. (Gary Andrews is the author of Encouraging Words: 30-days in Godâ€™s Word.

Church life can bring out the funny in us all Recently I had an email from a friend who chooses to forward me much too much stuďŹ€, but portions of this one I decided to share because it lightLora Ann ened my thoughts and Huff made me smile: A very gracious lady Back Porch was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. â€œIs there anything breakable in here?â€? asked the postal clerk, as they usually do. â€œOnly the Ten Commandments!â€? answered the lady. A preacher parked his car in a noparking zone in a large city, being short on time and not finding a metered space. Then he wrote a note to leave on the windshield: â€œI have circled the block 10 times. If I donâ€™t park here, Iâ€™ll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.â€? When he returned, a citation had been left by a police oďŹƒcer, along with a note: â€œIâ€™ve circled this block for 10 years. If I donâ€™t give you a ticket, Iâ€™ll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.â€? Following behind a horse-drawn Amish carriage, a family read this hand painted sign: â€œEnergy eďŹƒcient vehicle â€“ runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust!â€? A mother asked her young daughter what the Sunday School lesson had been about that day, and the little girl

said, â€œDonâ€™t be scared, youâ€™ll get your quilt.â€? The Mom couldnâ€™t figure that one out so she later asked the pastor if he knew what the lesson had been and he said, â€œBe not afraid, thy comforter is coming.â€? â€ŚAnd since I play the organ at our church, I kinda liked this one: A pastor was trying to figure out how to ask his congregation for extra money to cover higher-than-expected building repairs, when he found that the regular organist was sick and a substitute was going to fill in. The sub asked what he wanted her to play and he replied, â€œHereâ€™s a copy of the service, but youâ€™ll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances.â€? The time came for the announcement and the pastor said, â€œBrothers and sisters, we are in great diďŹƒculty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up.â€? Immediately, the substitute organist began playing â€œThe Star Spangled Banner.â€? â€Ś And thatâ€™s how the substitute became the regular organist!!! You gotta laugh at that one! â€Ś So remember to smile and always stand up when you hear our National Anthem. See you next week.

Dear Annie: My youngest son, “Ian,” is soon to marry the “love of his life.” I haven’t had much of an opportunity to get to know “Tess,” but my wife has spent time with her and really likes her. Around me, however, Tess seems to be reserved and quiet. I asked Ian about her reticence and after some hesitation, he told me that Tess finds me “creepy” and is uncomfortable being around me. I was flabbergasted. I cannot think of one thing I’m doing to make this woman feel this way. I have never touched her or leered at her. I don’t find her particularly attractive, so I cannot imagine that I’m being lascivious without realizing it. I don’t make oﬀ-color jokes. I dress conservatively. When I speak to her, I look her in the eye, not the chest. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I mentioned it to my wife, and she admitted that she overheard Tess and two of her friends laughing about how creepy I am. Her opinion of Tess has been substantially lowered. I asked my other two daughters-in-law whether they thought I was creepy and they were astonished that anyone would think so. They both want to talk to Tess, but

Annie’s Mailbox I asked them not to. My son said that Tess shared her feelings about me in confidence and he doesn’t want her to know he told me. Should I wait until after the marriage and try to talk to Tess? My other family members say to let it go and that she’ll get to know me better with time, but I’m not so sure. Ian has been dating Tess for nearly three years and she’s had plenty of opportunities to get to know me. Any advice? — Not a Creepy Guy Dear Guy: We don’t know why Tess thinks you are creepy. There may be something about you that reminds her of a lesssavory character. Or her definition of “creepy” might be different than yours. It is also possible that Tess is setting the stage for keeping Ian away from his family after the marriage. You need to discuss this openly and your wife has provided the perfect excuse to do so without compromising your son. With other family

members present, especially Ian, tell Tess what your wife overheard. Ask her why she thinks you are “creepy” and how the two of you can overcome it in order to have a better relationship. Frankly, we would be wary of any young woman who turns her future father-in-law into an object of derision with her girlfriends. Tread carefully. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Please Stop,” who is on a fixed income, but feels guilty when she receives constant requests from charities for donations. Last year, between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, I wrote down every request we received from a charity. Using the smallest amount that I would have sent, the total for my donations would have come to $7,151. As my wife and cannot aﬀord this amount, we no longer feel guilty about not sending money to anyone. — C. Dear C.: We wish more people could leave the guilt out of these decisions. One should only donate to those charities you support, in the amount your budget can handle.
