City sends shelter request to planners

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Board of Aldermen is sending the Hope Dream Center Mission’s plea for an exception to a sprinkler requirement to the planning commission.

The board cited liability and

procedural concerns Tuesday before unanimously agreeing to table the matter and send the variance request to the planning commission.

Building Inspector Philip Verdung said the group had bypassed proper procedure by going straight to the Board of

Mayor and Aldermen without first presenting the request to the planning commission and board of adjustment, which makes recommendations to the city board on zoning variances.

Addressing the board on behalf of the organization, Jennifer McCoy said the building

at 1223 Tate St. is to be used as a shelter for women facing tough circumstances. A former school, church and funeral home, the building was constructed to the specifications of a fallout shelter with brick walls and concrete flooring.

“We don’t need a sprinkler

system in a building that has no combustible materials,” said McCoy. She requested an exception for the first floor of the building and 18 to 24 months to raise the funds needed to install sprinPlease see SHELTER | 2A

Rare calf triplet update: Heifers doing well; bull doesn’t make it

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

KOSSUTH — The rare calf triplets are down to a pair.

Doug Mitchell of Mitchell Farms says the bull of the remarkable three survived 10 days before dying.

“I feel like there wasn’t something right about him,” said Mitchell. “He was the smallest of the three and was having trouble digesting his food.”

two heifers are doing just fine.

“They are growing and look a lot better,” said Mitchell.

“The mother has done a good job of taking care of both of them.”

Mitchell will continue to keep the two calves in a barn and away from the rest of the cows until they are two months old.

“The two will be eating food on their own by that time,” said the farmer.

The triplets — an once in

every 106,000 accomplishment — were born on Feb. 15. The mother cow had the calves without any assistance and accepted all three. The registered Hereford delivered calves that weighed 60, 50 and 40 pounds.

“It’s still unbelievable and I haven’t found anyone who has heard of it before,” said Mitchell.

Government groups seek purchase of Coon Creek Science Center

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — A possible deal is being discussed about the purchase of the Coon Creek Science Center by a partnership among McNairy County government, the City of Selmer and the City of Adamsville from Memphis Museum Systems. The UT-Martin/McNairy County-Selmer Center would be a management partner.

Coon Creek has one of the most important fossil sites in North America. The 230-acre site is located in Leapwood in northeast McNairy County. The center is now owned by Memphis Museum Systems, the operator of the Pink Palace Mu-

seum.

Officials from McNairy County, county government, the McNairy Regional Alliance and a representative of UTM met with representatives from Memphis Museums on Friday to talk about the purchase of the Coon Creek Science Center.

There has been no price mentioned yet.

“We told them to come back with a proposal for us at our next meeting,” said McNairy County Extension Agent Ricky Mathenia. “We want to make this deal happen, but we have to meet a June deadline to get the grant money.”

Ross wants to work for bold changes

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Former Eupora mayor Henry Ross says he is ready to work for bold changes if elected to represent the First Congressional District.

In a telephone interview with the Daily Corinthian, Ross said he believes the incumbent has not done enough to change government.

Two years ago, Ross lost the Republican primary to Alan Nunnelee of Tupelo while making a solid second-place finish in Alcorn County. On Tuesday, he again faces Nunnelee, along with Robert Estes.

Ross, a former circuit judge in the seven-county Fifth Circuit Court District, said the conservative successes in the 2010 mid-term election have not translated to results.

“They said they would reduce the size of government, cut spending and stop ‘Obamacare,’” said Ross. “But they have been in office almost 14 months and what has actually happened is nothing.”

He is concerned that government spending continues to increase, and “all of the Obama big-government programs are still in place.” He said the debt ceiling increased “without getting any real spending cuts.”

Ross said he would have voted differently than the incumbent on numerous items.

He would have been in favor of a government shutdown in order to force some changes.

After the government shutdown in the 1990s, he said Congress moved in the right direction.

“We had four straight years

cial issues, he would support a constitutional amendment to exclude same-sex couples from marriage.

He would have voted against the National Defense Authorization Act. “There is the possibility that because of ambiguities in the act’s language, American citizens on American soil who ‘have committed a belligerent act’ against the United States could be detained under the law,” he said. “Many are concerned that people who espouse right wing causes could potentially fall within purview of the act depending on the definition of belligerent acts used by the current and future administrations.”

Ross said the country needs Please see ROSS | 2A

of federal surpluses,” he said.

“They started to discipline themselves, and we had a booming economy for those years. The Republicans helped themselves and helped the country when they showed some determination.”

He said he will not vote for compromises “that continue trillion-dollar-plus deficits.”

By compromising with Democrats, he said moderate Republicans are keeping the status quo in place.

He disputed Nunnelee’s contention that shutting down the government would have stopped military service members from getting paid.

Ross favors repeal of the health care reform act and says it will be difficult to find doctors in the future.

CENTER: Museums limit visits to groups of 10 or more CONTINUED FROM 1A

Memphis Museums will have a board meeting later this month when they are expected to decide a price for the land. The public-private partnership bought the property in 1988 from the state of Tennessee, who had acquired the land to preserve the fossils.

“There are some good positives about us owning the land,” said McNairy County Mayor Wilburn Gene Ashe. “The center could be a tourist attraction and help improve education through our local schools and the UTM Center.”

Gerald Parish, of the Tennessee Environment & Conservation, Recreation-Education Services, has told local officials about a possible state matching grant of $250,000 that could be used to buy the site. The

land could be used as part of the local match that could increase the outlay to $500,000.

McNairy Regional Alliance director Ted Moore said he thought buying the property would work well for McNairy County in several ways. He mentioned that bringing together the McNairy County Government, the cities of Selmer and Adamsville, along with the UTMartin center would form a strong partnership.

“If we owned the property, it could open up a lot of possibilities for our county,” Moore said. “I do not think our people locally understand how important this could be in the future for McNairy County.”

Memphis Museums now limits visitations to the Coon Creek Center to groups of 10 or more.

They previously had a director who lived on-site to

give tours, but eliminated the position several years agao due to budget cuts.

The site at one time offered weekend fossil finds for groups and week long education summer camps for youth groups, who would stay in on site cabins.

The property contains a treasure lode of superbly preserved Upper Cretaceous marine shells and vertebrate remains there from 70 million years ago when the water of the Gulf of Mexico receded. It is believed that all of West Tennessee was covered by water at the time.

Mathenia said the discussions between the county and Memphis Museums have been ongoing for two years about the property. He said the officials from Memphis understand they need to present a sale price when the parties meet again in late-March or early-April.

YERGER: He chronicles leading GOP revolution at 26 CONTINUED FROM 1A

“We couldn’t do what we do today without what he did years ago,” said Northeast Mississippi Republicans event organizer Mike Stewart. “He is an icon.”

Yerger will be in town for a meeting and book signing — sponsored by the Northeast Mississippi Republicans — at the Corinth Library on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. His book, “A Courageous Cause — A Personal Story of Modern Republicanism’s Birth from 1956 to 1966 in Mississippi,” details the founding of the party in the 1950s and 1960s.

“The book really takes you where the party got

its start,” added Stewart.

“He was there during the nasty days of Civil Rights and the threat of nuclear disaster.”

In the book, Yerger chronicles how he led the Republican revolution at the age of 26.

“He was the Daniel Boone of the party,” said Stewart.

Yerger, the chairman of the Mississippi delegation to the Republican National Convention in 1956, 1960 and 1964, was elected to a four-year term as chairman of the Southern Association of Republican State Chairman in 1960. In 2009, the Central Committee of the Mississippi Republican Party named him chair-

man emeritus.

“This is a really big deal for us and we expect a good crowd,” added Stewart.

Everyone is invited to the free admission event.

According to his web site, Yerger was viewed

by Time magazine as the primary voice of a new, principled conservatism in the South. Unlike his back-room Democrat counterparts, Yerger organized his GOP party membership at the grassroots, county level, creating a state party built upon lasting principles of real conservatism such as small government, free enterprise, strong defense, and the rights of individuals to exercise political choice.

Court sides with EPA on Yazoo project Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — A federal appeals court panel sided Tuesday with the Environmental Protection Agency over its 2008 veto of a $220 million flood control project near the Yazoo River in the south Mis-

sissippi Delta.

The Board of Mississippi Levee Commissioners sued the EPA in 2009 after the agency vetoed the Yazoo Backwater Project, which has been in the works for decades. The board said the proposed pumping station would

protect wetlands, farms and forests north of Vicksburg from flooding.

Damien M. Schiff, a Pacific Legal Foundation attorney representing the board, said he must talk to levee commissioners before deciding whether to appeal.

SHELTER: Concerns raised over liability issue CONTINUED FROM 1A

klers on the second floor.

The organization has previously said it needs to raise $26,000 for a sprinkler system.

Verdung said any deviation from the building code imposes liability on the city.

“One of the things this code requires in an institutional occupancy is a sprinkler system,” he said.

Many fire deaths result from smoke inhalation as a result of smoke from interior combustible materials such as bedding,

he said.

Mike Stewart, also with the mission, encouraged the board to go ahead and make the exception.

“We need this,” he said. “We have a shelter for animals but none for people … Just do it because it needs to be done.”

City Attorney Wendell Trapp said the request presents “a huge liability situation.”

“I could not possibly encourage the ignoring of the ordinance and the state law,” he said.

Ward 4 Alderman J.C.

Hill acknowledged the need and encouraged the city to move the request forward as quickly as possible.

“It would be a shame to let this opportunity fall by the wayside,” he said.

Mayor Tommy Irwin told the group that the board cannot overlook the liability issue.

“Does that make them not have a heart? No,” he said.

A legal notice must be published, and the request will possibly go before the planning commission on March 26.

ROSS: In 2008, he received Bush appointment CONTINUED FROM 1A

to achieve energy independence, and he believes Congress should act to tap oil reservoirs on federal land.

Ross was elected mayor of Eupora in 1997 and served one term. He said he worked for infrastructure and service improvements without increasing city taxes.

Ross holds business and law degrees from Ole Miss and was admitted to the Mississippi Bar in 1981. He served as a U.S. Navy JAG Corps

officer for several years a n d then joined t h e Naval R e serve, Ross retiri n g with the rank of commander in 2005.

He also served as the only assistant district attorney in the Fifth Circuit Court District.

Most recently, in

2008, he received a Bush administration appointment in the Department of Justice, serving as senior counsel to the assistant attorney general in the Environment and Natural Resources Division.

He said this year’s election presents a chance to “get back to limited government.”

“It has been politics as usual,” said Ross, “and it’s going to take some people that are different to actually stop this growth in federal government.”

McNairy panel approves probation contract

BY JEFF YORK Special to the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — A new contract was approved for probation services and there was discussion about the county combining with Selmer to purchase two vacant buildings during February’s meeting of the McNairy County Board of Commissioners.

The commissioners approved a two-year contract with West State Education & Probation to take care of most probation cases for the county. West State has been providing those services for the county for the past few years.

This contract will run through 2014.

McNairy County Mayor Wilburn Gene Ashe said the county would receive 15 percent back from West State for the money they collect for probation fees. Ashe said the

county received $21,000 from the company for 2011.

This new contract was brought to the full commission as a recommendation from the law enforcement committee.

The committee had met prior to the regular commission meeting.

McNairy County General Sessions Judge Van McMahan can choose someone to any probation service, but normally assigns someone on probation to West State.

Corinth, Miss.

Sound Off

People in wheelchairs want expanded trail I have a concern, not just for myself, but for the many others who are homebound because of not being able to walk and having to rely on motorized wheelchairs.

I noticed in the newspaper that Corinth is doing street and sidewalk work in the downtown area, spending thousands of dollars for better streets and sidewalks.

I and others would love to go shopping at retail outlets in the city. However, we can’t run our wheelchairs on the streets in fear of getting hit by vehicles. There is a hiking and biking trail from Lonnie’s Sporting Goods to Highway 2 — so why can’t the city expand the trail?

Those of us in wheelchairs also pay tax on everything. We have to trust others to shop for us. We have community transportation to take us places “if” we have the money, but we have to let C.T.S. know 72 hours in advance or we miss out. I don’t always know on Monday what I will need to buy on Wednesday.

I live on less than $700 a month and at times have no money to pay for C.T.S. or to buy things I need. I thought I could trust some people, but they take my money and keep on going.

This is what happens without a safe way to go shopping, so why doesn’t the city build the bike trail on down Harper Road to give those of us in wheelchairs access to more shopping places so we can shop on our own?

There are a lot of nice motorists who stop sometimes to let me cross a street or highway in my motorized wheelchair.

Come on, Corinth. Build us a safe trail to the malls and other places to shop. Think about us handicapped people who like to shop, too. There are many events that go on we can’t attend. We are barred from the city park and downtown.

Help us, please.

But a Joint Committee Department of Revenue Chairman Ed Morgan has on Performance Evaluation

and Expenditure Review (PEER) memo from Sept. 6, 2011 that shows the extent of the delinquent taxes in two key categories – personal state income taxes and sales taxes owed by businesses.

PEER Committee investigators told lawmakers in the memo: “In Fiscal Year 2010, delinquent personal income taxes totaled $70.2 million or 4 percent of the $1.73 billion in personal income taxes owed to the state of Mississippi. In FY 2011, delinquent personal income taxes totaled $43.1 million or 2 percent of the $1.78 billion in personal income taxes owed to the state.

“In FY 2010, delinquent sales taxes owed by businesses totaled $104.6 million, or 4 percent of the $2.58 billion in sales taxes owed by businesses to the state. In FY 2011, delinquent sales taxes owed by businesses totaled $120.9 million or 5 percent of the $2.64 billion in sales taxes owed by businesses to the state.

“Due to a number of factors, including death of the taxpayer, termination of a business, limited collection resources, and bankruptcy

protections, the Department of Revenue reports approximately 60 percent of delinquent taxes to be uncollectable.”

While those numbers are jarring to those who pay their taxes, consider the greater implication. Delinquent taxes were at least identified as due and payable. Those taxes are at least “on the books.” The real growth in the “tax gap” comes from taxes that went uncollected because of the lack of manpower and resources to identify, investigate and collect legitimate taxes due and payable under current tax levies. They aren’t “on the books.”

Morgan claims his agency over an 18-month period could collect at least an additional $25 million and realistically as much as $52 million with no new taxes levied – just a stronger effort by the state with more trained personnel to collect the existing taxes due.

That’s in addition to delinquent and “uncollectable” taxes.

Well, amongst musicians as well as writers, there are an awful lot of blockheads.

They play because they have to, for tips or great reward, it matters not. They play as well as they can for an audience of one or thousands.

They probably wouldn’t turn down money or fame, but the music, making it, matters more.

And even those who do well at the game don’t stay in the white light of fame forever.

My musically knowledgeable young friend Brad Langner was in Nashville, Tenn., when he and another fellow spotted Jeff Hanna, the washboard player for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Such a sighting is exciting for those of us who love music, like finding a gold nugget in a Colorado creek bed.

Brad asked Jeff Hanna if he would pose for a picture, and then, to quote Brad, “an old man” offered to take the

photograph and did.

Later, that “old man” took the Ryman stage. He was country star Lee Roy Parnell.

I love that story. For one thing, it’s good to hear that a 30-something person appreciates the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Musical styles and tastes ebb and flow, and the tide washes out talent and occasionally brings it back to shore.

I hope the piano player is rewarded grandly for his virtuosity and gets center stage at Jazz Fest.

But if his venues remain small, if there are tip jars and afternoon gigs and tired barmaids in his future, I hope he knows that what he does brings random joy.

How many people can claim that?

State Briefs Bill would require schools to merge JACKSON — Some Mississippi senators want to cut the number of school districts in Bolivar County from the current six to either two or three.

Senate Bill 2760 would require the state Board of Education to combine the districts by 2014. The bill is moving to the full Senate after the body’s Education Committee approved it Tuesday.

The county’s six current districts are: Cleveland, Benoit, Mound Bayou, North Bolivar, Shaw and West Bolivar.

Senate Education Chairman Gray Tollison, an Oxford Republican, says mergers would cut administrative costs.

Another bill that’s moving forward would allow the state Board of Education to consolidate or force new elections in failing districts that it takes into conservatorship for a second time.

The Senate earlier passed legislation to force Sunflower County’s three districts to merge into one.

Appeals court sides with EPA over project JACKSON — A federal appeals court panel has

sided with the Environmental Protection Agency over its 2008 veto of a $220 million flood control project near the Yazoo River in the south Mississippi Delta.

The Board of Mississippi Levee Commissioners sued the EPA in 2009 after the agency vetoed the Yazoo Backwater Project. The board said the proposed pumping station would protect wetlands, farms and forests north of Vicksburg from flooding when the Mississippi River is high.

U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock in Aberdeen sided with the EPA

and dismissed the lawsuit last year.

A three-judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld that decision Tuesday.

Damien M. Schiff, an attorney representing the board, said he must talk to the board before deciding whether to appeal.

lungs, broken arms and burns to both hands.

Rankin County District Attorney Michael Guest said Tuesday in a news release that Charles Dennis Harris was sentenced to 30 years, with eight years suspended.

Guest said Rankin County deputies and Florence police were called to Crossgates River Oaks Hospital on March 24, 2009, to investigate a possible abuse case after the girl’s mother sought help.

dren,” Guest said. “Harris inflicted severe injury and pain to helpless child and he will now pay the consequences for his actions.”

Guest said Harris “tried to explain away” the child’s injuries by claiming she fell off the bed, burned her hand on a candle or hot light bulb and then said he may have accidentally rolled onto the child during the night.

Guest said numerous medical experts testified that the injuries were consistent with abuse and the investigation determined that Harris was caring for the girl when the injuries occurred.

Obama: I don’t know Rush’s heart WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says he called a Georgetown law student who was labeled a “slut” by radio host Rush Limbaugh because he doesn’t want people who speak their mind about policy issues to be discouraged or attacked.

Asked to comment on Limbaugh’s apology, Obama says he doesn’t know “what’s in Rush Limbaugh’s heart.”

Limbaugh apologized to student Sandra Fluke, saying he shouldn’t have used the language he did and it was wrong.

Obama said the incident made him think of his two daughters and his hopes that they can engage in issues they care about in the future.

Obama says he doesn’t want his daughters “attacked or called horrible names” for speaking their minds and being good citizens.

Obama says the remarks “don’t have any place” in public discourse.

Job creation drives highway bills WASHINGTON — The lure of roads, bridges, buses and trains isn’t enough anymore to drive an expensive transportation bill through Congress. So to round up votes, congressional leaders are pitching the bills as the hottest thing around these days: job generators.

But do they really create more jobs?

Not really, is the answer from many economists. The bills would simply shift investment that was creating jobs elsewhere in the economy to transportation industries. That means different jobs, but not necessarily additional ones.

“Investments in transportation infrastructure, if well designed, should be viewed as investments in future productivity growth,” said Alice Rivlin, a former director of the White House Office of Management and Budget under President Bill Clinton. The dividends come over the long run.

“If they speed the delivery of goods and people, they will certainly do that,” she added. “They will also create jobs, but not necessarily more jobs than the same money spent in other ways.” Indeed, the question of job creation is relatively unimportant when compared to other significant economic benefits of maintaining and improving the nation’s aging transportation system, such as enabling people to get to work and businesses to speedily move goods, say economists and transportation experts.

But that hasn’t diminished the jobs claims being made on Capitol Hill.

“This legislation would put 2 million middle-class Americans back to work right away,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Thursday, as he fumed about nearly 100 amendments that have delayed action on the Senate’s version of the transportation bill.”

Services grow at fastest pace WASHINGTON — U.S. service companies expanded in February at the fastest pace in a year, helped by a rise in new orders and job growth.

The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its index of non-manufacturing activity rose to 57.3, up from January’s 56.8 and the third straight increase. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.

Expansion in the service sector coincides with the lowest unemployment in three years, five straight months of solid to strong job growth and rising consumer confidence.

The trade group of purchasing managers surveys roughly 90 percent of U.S. companies in all sectors outside of manufacturing. That includes retail, construction, financial services, health care, and hotels.

Fourteen of the 18 industries that the survey tracks expanded in February. Real estate, rental and leasing, transportation and warehousing, construction, hotels and restaurants and information technology firms were among those that reported growth.

Report: Minority students face harsher punishments

BY KIMBERLY HEFLING Associated Press

WASHINGTON — African-American or Hispanic students may be more likely to be suspended, expelled — or even arrested — than their white peers. What’s not clear is why.

Is it discrimination, as some civil rights groups contend, or are minority students committing more infractions? Or are minority students receiving tougher punishments than whites for similar incidents?

What is known, from an Education Department civil rights report released Tuesday is that Hispanic and African-American students comprise nearly three quarters of students involved in school-related arrests or cases handed over to police. The report also found that black students are more than three times as likely as their

white peers to be suspended or expelled. And, that a disproportionate number of black students with disabilities are strapped down or subjected to other restraints.

“The sad fact is that minority students across America face much harsher discipline than non-minorities, even within the same school,” said Education Secretary Arne Duncan.

Neither Duncan nor the report provided the details behind the numbers.

Civil rights activists said they weren’t surprised by the results.

They blamed get tough, “zero tolerance” policies that they say contribute to a “schools-to-prisons” pipeline. The problem, they say, is that zero tolerance applies more to minorities than white children. They say it’s time for a dialogue on appropriate and fair discipline.

“There’s bias in classrooms.

There’s also this perception of children of color as being criminals.”

Judith Browne Dianis Co-director, Advancement Project Duncan said some school officials might not have been aware of inconsistencies in how they handle discipline, and he, too, hoped the report would be an eye-opener.

“We’re not alleging overt discrimination in some or all of these cases,” he said.

Judith Browne Dianis, co-director of the Advancement Project, a think tank that specializes in social issues affecting minority communities, said research shows that black and Hispanic children are punished more harshly for the same offenses than white kids.

Some think it’s necessary

to crack down on minority children for small infractions. “There’s bias in classrooms. There’s also this perception of children of color as being criminals,” Dianis said Raul Gonzalez, legislative director at the National Council of La Raza who taught school in New York, said zero tolerance policies in both schools and courtrooms have created a system that takes children out of school and ultimately leads them into prison where they become hardened criminals. He said more moderate responses are needed in schools, and he

hopes that the report will lead not just to a change in policies in schools, but to state laws.

“We’ve lost control of all judgment here, and it’s almost always a black kid or a Hispanic kid” affected, Gonzalez said.

Dianne M. Pichi, senior counsel and director of education program at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, said school discipline codes that include subjective offenses like “insubordination” have contributed to the problem. She said there’s no evidence that get-tough policies work, and “they often make things worse by reinforcing a child’s disengagement from school and low self-esteem.”

A first step, said Kwame Morton, a black principal at Joyce Kilmer Elementary School in Cherry Hill, N.J., is a greater under-

standing of the cultural background of students and how they communicate.

“Unless people in the school have the mindset where they are going to love the students and be willing to work with the kids and nurture them and guide them and rehabilitate them and when they mess up continue to teach them ...I think it’s going to be a continual cycle of just coming in, kids will do things, there will be harsh consequences and penalties, they’ll be gone for a while, come back and do the same thing,” Morton said. “It will never stop unless somebody breaks that cycle.”

The Education Department findings come from a national collection of civil rights data from 2009-10 of more than 72,000 schools serving 85 percent of the nation.

Diplomacy, not war: New nuclear talks begin with Iran, world powers Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Alarmed by rising talk of war, the United States, Europe and other world powers announced Tuesday that bargaining will begin again with Iran over its fiercely disputed nuclear efforts. Tehran, for its part, invited inspectors to see a site suspected of secret atomic weapons work.

In Washington, President Barack Obama declared he had been working to avert war with Iran during intensive meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week. Israel, fearing the prospect of a nuclear Iran, has been stressing a need for possible military action, but Obama said sanctions and diplomacy were already working.

The president rebuffed Republican critics, who say his reluctance to attack Iran is a sign of weakness, holding up the specter of more dead Americans in another Mideast war.

“When I see the casualness with which some of these folks talk about war, I’m reminded of the costs involved in war,” Obama

said. “This is not a game.

And there’s nothing casual about it.”

Although Obama’s remarks were suffused with American election-year politics — they came the same day as the biggest batch of Republican primaries to choose his opponent in November — he spoke for capitals around the world in warning that “bluster” and posturing to appear tough on Iran could edge the world closer to an avoidable war.

European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany had agreed to a new round of nuclear talks with Iran more than a year after suspending them in frustration.

Previous talks have not resolved international suspicions that Iran is engaging in a nuclear energy program as cover for an eventual plan to build a bomb. On a practical level, the negotiating group also has failed to strike a deal for Iran to stop enriching uranium that might one day be turned into bomb fuel.

The rush to diplomacy

“When I see the casualness with which some of these folks talk about war, I’m reminded of the costs involved in war. This is not a game. And there’s nothing casual about it.”

President Barack Obama was partly an answer to increasingly hawkish rhetoric from Israel, which is publicly considering a military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities this spring.

Obama and Western allies say such a strike would be risky and premature, and that there is still time to persuade Iran that it is better off without nuclear weapons.

Iran insists that its program is only for energy production and other peaceful purposes.

In sitting down with Iran, Ashton said negotiators want “constructive dialogue” that will deliver real progress in resolving the international community’s long-standing concerns on its nuclear program.”

The time and venue of

the new talks have not been set.

Iran has a history of agreeing to talks or other concessions when it feels under threat, and Western leaders have grown skeptical that Iran will bargain in good faith..

Following gatherings in five-star European hotels, Iran often publicly rejects pressure but privately agrees to small compromises. Diplomats return home to consult their presidents and prime ministers, and Iran, the theory goes, presses on with its nuclear development work.

However, initially mild economic sanctions on Iran have grown stronger and more difficult for the government to circumvent. The oil-rich country is still able to sell its oil,

mostly in Asia, but labors under severe banking restrictions that will get far tougher this summer. Europe also imposed an unprecedented oil embargo on Iran, to take effect in July.

Obama and others said diplomacy and such sanctions should be given more time Iran appeared to partially answer concerns Tuesday from the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency that it has something to hide, by announcing long-sought access to its Parchin military complex southeast of Tehran. The IAEA has singled out the complex, which Iran had long refused to open for inspection.

Terms appeared limited and unclear in Iran’s announcement.

In Washington, speaking at his first news conference this year, Obama said he saw a “window of opportunity” to use diplomacy instead of military force to resolve the dispute. He declared anew that his policy on Iran is not one of containment but of stopping Tehran from acquiring a nuclear

weapon.

Britain’s foreign secretary, William Hague, said the onus would “be on Iran to convince the international community that its nuclear program is exclusively peaceful.”

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle called for a diplomatic solution. “A nuclear-armed Iran must be prevented,” he said Obama publicly rejected the assertion, heard most loudly from Republicans and Israelis, that the window for diplomacy was closing.

“It is deeply in everybody’s interests — the United States, Israel and the world’s — to see if this can be resolved in a peaceful fashion,” Obama said.

“This notion that somehow we have a choice to make in the next week or two weeks or month or two months is not borne out by the facts.”

A day earlier, Netanyahu said Israel could not afford to wait much longer. Following a lengthy meeting with Obama at the White House, he accused Iran of a shell game that allows it to get ever closer to a bomb.

Consumer Credit

Hovnanian Earns

Economists expect the Federal Reserve’s report on consumer credit for January to show growth of $10 billion, according to a survey by FactSet. Over the past year, consumers have been increasing their borrowing.

They are taking on more debt after seeing the unemployment rate drop and the economy improve, albeit modestly. Many are also leaning on their credit cards and loans to make up for wages that didn’t keep pace with inflation last year.

The housing market still has quite a ways to go before anyone labels it recovered. Homebuilder Hovnanian Enterprises reports its fiscal firstquarter earnings on Wednesday.

Recently the company said that its first-quarter preliminary net contracts climbed 27 percent, with the strength continuing into February. Contract signings typically indicate where the housing market is headed. There’s a oneto two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed deal.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPad 3 at a press event in San Francisco on Wednesday. Although it might best be referred to as the next generation iPad, because even its name is veiled in secrecy. Last year, sales of the iPad 2 began in the U.S. nine days after the product announcement.

Since the first iPad came out in 2010, sales of traditional computers have slowed. Rival PC and phone makers have been unable to mirror Apple’s tablet success.

Kossuth sweeps 3-school field

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Kossuth golf teams had a broom stowed away in their bag.

Kossuth swept through a three-school field on Tuesday, besting host Tishomingo County and Alcorn Central in a pair of matches played at Shiloh Ridge.

The Aggies finished with

a 196, five strokes ahead of Tishomingo County #1. Tish Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second entrant finished third at 221, with Alcorn Central (247) rounding out the field.

Logan Parks, Zach Cooper and Logan Lyles all turned in sub-50 rounds for the victors with Parksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 45 leading the way.

J.D. Manahan carded a 49

to lead the Golden Bears.

The Lady Aggies, the lone girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; squad with the minimum three entrants, compiled at 161. Raven McCalla (54) and Alyssa Trulove (55) headlined Kossuthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort.

Kossuth returns to action March 19 at Red Bay, Ala.Â

Report: Colts, Manning breaking up Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Peyton Manning era in Indianapolis is expected to end Wednesday, according to a report.

Citing anonymous sources, ESPN reported Tuesday that the Colts plan to hold a news conference to announce the long-expected decision. Manning and team owner Jim Irsay are expected to attend, the network said.

Colts spokesman Avis Roper said he could not confirm the decision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or that a news conference would be held Wednesday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because Irsay was out of town and could not be reached for comment. Neither Irsay nor Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent, Tom Condon, responded immediately to messages left by The Associated Press.

Peytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older brother, Cooper, told USA Today in a phone interview that he had spoken to

his brother earlier Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going through kind of an emotional time right now,â&#x20AC;?

Cooper Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until it was over, he was a Colt through and through.â&#x20AC;?

With a $28 million bonus payment due Thursday to Manning, his neck problems, and the fact that the Colts own the No. 1 pick in Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft, the Colts seem to have deemed it too risky â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and too pricey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to keep the longtime franchise

BY H. LEE SMITH II KOSSUTH -â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After dropping a pair of games in the first weekend of play, the Kossuth Lady Aggies will carry a three-game winning streak into Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with Tishomingo County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We let the two early games get away,â&#x20AC;? said KHS Head Coach Steve Lyles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finally stared hitting the ball.â&#x20AC;?

Kossuth avenged its second loss with a 9-0 blanking of host Tupelo on Monday. The Lady Wave handed the Lady Aggies a 5-1 loss in the Lady Aggie Classic on Feb. 25.

Shelby Stewart led the offensive attack a pair of singles. Jordan Dickson drove in three runs, while McKinley Ragan platted a pair.

Kossuth managed just five singles in the win, but drew nine walks and had three others reach via the hit-by-pitch-route.

Carleigh Mills tossed a shutout, allowing just one hit and striking out 10 in seven innings of work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If our pitchers continue to throw the way they have, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a chance,â&#x20AC;? said Lyles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all you can ask for.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; Kossuth downed county rival Corinth 10-2 last

quarterback, who will turn 36 later this month.

The twists and turns of a public debate between Manning and Irsay, who have been friends for more than a decade, created the sense the two had been fighting. Irsay twice issued statements to deny a rift.

Still, with the Colts in full rebuilding mode, Irsay has been expected by many to play for the future and let Manning play somewhere else.

Moultrie, Walker earn hoops recognition The Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury felt like a torn parent when two of his players — Dee Bost and Arnett Moultrie — were named finalists for the Howell Trophy.

Only one of them could win. Turns out it was Moultrie.

Though Stansbury felt both were deserving, he couldn’t fault the voters’ decision, especially since the 14th-year Bulldogs’ coach feels Moultrie embodies everything that made the trophy’s namesake — former Mississippi State star Bailey Howell — so good.

“Dee Bost has had a great career, but you sure can’t argue with Moultrie,” Stansbury said. “He does the one thing that Bailey did and that’s give you tremendous rebounding.”

Delta State’s Veronica Walker was Monday’s other winner when she earned the Gillom Trophy for the second straight season.

Both Moultrie and Walker were presented their awards on Monday during a ceremony at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame.

The Howell and Gillom Trophies are given to the state’s top men’s and women’s basketball player, respectively.

“She’s a winner and she’s been committed,” Delta State coach Sandra Rushing said. “She’s extended her game to shoot the 3, she’s had to run the point sometimes and she’s been the stabilizing influence with four freshmen.

I couldn’t ask for anything more. It’s been a pleasure.”

Moultrie, a 6-foot-11 junior from Memphis, Tenn., leads the Bulldogs with 16.1 points per game and leads the entire Southeastern Conference with 10.7 rebounds per game and 18 double-doubles. The Bulldogs have a 21-10 record and 8-8 mark in the SEC. Moultrie was expected to be an impact transfer after leaving Texas-El Paso to join the Bulldogs, but not even he could predict that he would turn into one of the SEC’s best players im-

mediately.

“I’m definitely playing above my expectations, but I’m just thankful and staying humble,” Moultrie said.

Mississippi State is trying to get back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009. The Bulldogs face Georgia in the first round of the SEC

Tournament on Thursday in New Orleans.

Moultrie said the team has recovered from a fivegame losing streak in February thanks to back-toback wins against South Carolina and Arkansas last week.

“Right now I think we’re playing our best basketball,” Moultrie said.

Hamlin, team soar in Phoenix

Sharing the spotlight

2012 Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth (right) appears last week on The Tonight Show with host Jay Leno. (NASCAR photo)

His victories often overshadowed, Kenseth takes it in stride

I

t seems that throughout his NASCAR career, Matt Kenseth’s accomplishments have a way of getting overshadowed by other events.

In 2000, his rookie year in the series now known as Sprint Cup, he won the Coca-Cola 600 and rookie of the year honors, but most of the attention that year went to the driver who finished second in the rookie standings, one Dale Earnhardt Jr. Kenseth’s 2003 Cup championship is remembered more than anything for the way he won it – by dominating the points race for much of the season – and for what it brought about – the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Then Kenseth’s second Daytona 500 triumph had to share the headlines with the rain, which led to the first-ever postponement of the Daytona 500 and the first-ever Monday night race broadcast in prime-time, a spectacular jet dryer fire and Danica Patrick’s Sprint Cup debut.

Kenseth, who worked in a teleconference with the media around an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and other stops on a whirlwind media blitz, said he wasn’t surprised that his big night was somewhat overshadowed by other events.

“It seems like it goes like that quite a bit for me,” he said. “I’m not really in it for the recognition or credit or any of that stuff anyway.”

It is surprising to Kenseth and others in the performance-based environment of NASCAR that despite his solid credentials, on top of a clean-cut image, he does not have full sponsorship for this season. He has impressive longterm numbers, 22 Cup wins and 26 more in the Nationwide Series, and just last year he won three races and finished fourth in the Cup standings.

Matt Kenseth signs autographs for fans on Thursday in San Francisco, Calif. (NASCAR photo) Still, he’s without sponsorship for more than half of the scheduled races this season.

“I think they have about 15 races sponsored,” he said of the sales staff at his Roush Fenway Racing team. “They still have some inventory they’re trying to sell. They give me some updates, but other than that I let the sales department do their thing, [and] I try to do our thing from a performance standpoint.”

He also said that even if he was more flashy, it might not make any difference.

“We could all dissect my personality or my looks or what I say, what I do, don’t say, don’t do,” he said. “But you can look at the opposite end of the spectrum. You can look at 20-yearold Trevor Bayne, who won the [2011] Daytona 500. Everybody was doing back flips because he won the Daytona 500. They can’t get a sponsorship for him in Nationwide or Cup either.”

Bayne does have backing from Ford for a limited Cup schedule in the Wood Brothers Ford.

The sponsorship shortcoming could be mostly a factor of the economy. Another of Kenseth’s teammates, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., won the Nationwide championship last year but is struggling for backing this year. And Roush has parked its one-time flagship No. 6 Ford because it isn’t sponsored.

Kenseth pointed out that for most of his career, sponsorship hasn’t been an issue, and he said that for now he doesn’t see any need to try to remold his image.

“Maybe there’s something I’m not doing right or saying right or whatever,” he said.

“But I’ve been in the sport for quite a while.

I’ve always just tried to be myself and never really change for anybody.

“I don’t think that’s really been a bad thing.

I’m pretty much a face-value guy.”

Penske announces switch from Dodge to Ford Roger Penske and officials from Ford Motor Company held a teleconference last week to answer questions about Penske’s decision to switch his NASCAR teams from Dodge to Ford beginning next season. But when the call was concluded, there were still a lot more questions than answers about the new arrangement.

Will Penske’s teams continue to build their own engines, or will they use the Roush Yates engines that the Ford-backed teams now run?

Penske, who raced Fords in NASCAR from 1995 through 2002, indicated that he’d likely start out by continuing to build engines in-house and see how his powerplants stack up against those from Roush Yates.

“This is something that we’ll take a good look at,” Penske said. “But what I like about it is we’ll be able to benchmark our capabilities at Penske Engines versus the best in the business at Roush Yates.”

There also are lingering questions about whether the funding from Ford that is headed to Penske will be new money or part of the manufacturer’s current spending, which would seem to mean reduced funding for existing Ford teams.

Then there’s the question of how Dodge will react to losing its main representative in NASCAR, a question that could be answered this week, as Dodge is scheduled to unveil its 2013 Sprint Cup Charger at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. One key factor is that Dodge needs a partner that has engine-building capabilities, and there are few of them left in NASCAR. One candidate would seem to be Richard Petty Motorsports, since Richard Petty had some of his best years in NASCAR driving Dodges and was a part of Dodge’s return to NASCAR back in 2001. But it no longer builds its own engines.

The Petty team, which now runs Fords, said in a statement that “We have a partnership with Roush

Fenway Racing and we are happy to be a part of the Ford Racing program. As we always do, we will evaluate all of our options and make decisions based on what is ultimately best for our race team.”

Dodge’s response to the Penske announcement came from Ralph Gilles, president and CEO of SRT Brand and Motorsports, who said, “Our motorsports involvement isn’t limited to NASCAR. We do value our NASCAR program and will be evaluating the opportunities available moving forward. As those opportunities materialize, we’ll reveal our 2013 plans, not only in NASCAR but in other forms of motorsports.”

What is clear is that Penske’s move can be interpreted as another sign of consolidation of resources in NASCAR. Roger Penske (NASCAR photo) He pointed out that he was influenced by the positive results that have come from technical alliances like Stewart-Haas Racing with Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing with Michael Waltrip Racing.

Beginning next year, Penske, who has had to go it alone technologically as the lone Dodge-backed team in NASCAR, can tap into the resources of Roush Fenway Racing, Richard Petty Motorsports and Wood Brothers Racing.

“Having that additional technical information flow through the process as Ford has outlined it to us, I think, was very important to us,” he said.

Denny Hamlin’s victory in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway gave him a measure of redemption at the same track where his 2010 championship bid was derailed by a fuel-mileage finish that saw him lose a race he’d dominated, when he had to stop for fuel and eventual champion Jimmie Johnson didn’t. And it was a big win for his crew chief Darian Grubb, who was fired by Stewart-Haas Racing even as he led Stewart to the Cup title.

But both Grubb and Hamlin took the high road in their post-race interviews.

“I guess you could say it is a little bit of vindication, but I really don’t think that way,” Grubb said. “I feel like I came into a very good situation.

[Former crew chief] Mike Ford built one heck of a team here with the 11 car, and the FedEx Toyota is obviously really strong, Joe Gibbs’ organization is very strong.”

Hamlin, who also took the points lead after a free fall, points-wise, at the end of last year, said the fact that the defending champion crew chief chose him was a big boost in itself.

“When he has faith in me that he feels like he can win a championship with me, after all the choices he had in the off-season, that gives me a lot of confidence,” Hamlin said, adding that he expects the winning to continue as he and Grubb get to know each other even better.

“It’s still going to build,” he said. “I honestly feel like it’s going to be realistically two Denny Hamlin months before we’re (NASCAR photo) totally clicking and knowing exactly what each other is saying and talking about.

“So to have success early tells me that we’ve obviously got a good pairing here.”

Hamlin also appears to have worked on his racing focus during the off-season, a stretch that saw him spend time in the Phoenix area working on his golf game and other non-racing activities.

“That’s what I needed to improve myself, and I was just as weak a link as anyone last year within our program,” he said. “What I needed to do to make myself better is what I did, and that was just get away and not even think about racing for a while.

“But when it came time to get to the race track, my focus is solely on winning races and winning a championship, and I’ll do anything it takes to do that. It’s just my way of doing things.

It’s what I needed to do to improve my driving and my focus.”

Sadler has 1st big win since ‘04 For the second straight week, a Nationwide Series regular prevailed in a field that included numerous Sprint Cup competitors. A week after James Buescher won at Daytona, Elliott Sadler went out and won the Bashas’ Supermarkets 200 at Phoenix International Raceway.

It was his first major NASCAR win since a Cup race at Auto Club Speedway in September of 2004 and his first Nationwide victory since the fall of 1998 at Rockingham. His victory, coupled with his third-place finish at Daytona, gave him the Nationwide points lead by 10 over his Richard Childress Racing teammate Austin Dillon.

“It’s a very emotional win,” Sadler said. “We all know how long it’s been since I was in Victory Lane. Luke Lambert, my crew chief, made a great call at the end to change left-sides only, and it definitely panned out the way we wanted it to.”

March is National Kidney Month Are You at Risk For The Silent Disease?

You know when you have a headache, sore throat, a cold or the flu. But do you know if you have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a potentially fatal condition that’s often called “the silent disease” because it frequently isn’t detected until it has reached the later stages?

March is National Kidney Month. You could be at risk if any of the statements below apply to you: 1.

According to the National Kidney Foundation, 26 million Americans have CKD, but many don’t know it.

The leading causes of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure. Diabetes increases pressure inside the kidney’s filters. Over a period of time, this pressure damages the filters, which then leak protein into the urine. High blood pressure, or hypertension, means that the pressure of your blood against the walls of your blood vessels increases. If left untreated, hypertension can lead to CKD, heart attacks and strokes.

Missing Thin Mints? Make your own Cookies make a good substitute when Girl Scouts go on hiatus

BY RICK NELSON McClatchy-Tribune News Service

T

iming is everything, right?

On the day when a colleague showered my cubicle with a few boxes of my personal dietary Kryptonite — Girl Scouts Thin Mints cookies — a cookbook landed in my mailbox.

Wouldn’t you know it? “The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook,” by bakers Cheryl Day and Grif¿th Day of Savannah, Ga., contains a recipe for a soft, buttery and deeply chocolatey homage to my beloved Thin Mints.

“Just like the Girl Scouts bake,” promised the recipe. (The book will be available next week.)

I needed to ¿nd out. The recipe was a little putzy (in the annals of cookie-baking jargon, that’s one of my favorite words) but worth the effort. The critical reception among my cookie-loving co-workers fell almost uniformly along the lines of “better than Thin Mints.” I don’t know that I’d go that far — sacrilege! — but the recipe is a keeper.

As is the book. It’s beautifully photographed and charmingly conversational, and full of recipes I’m dying to try: ham and cheese pastry puffs, buttermilk-cornmeal pancakes, plum tartlets, bacon-jam empanadas and rosemary-pecorino crackers, for starters.

But ¿rst, chocolate. The Days’ recipe calls for Dutch process cocoa, a darker, more fragrant variant of its unsweetened counterpart. Dutch process cocoa has been altered with alkali, which assists in neutralizing cocoa’s natural acidity. It’s not widely available, but most major supermarkets stock at least one brand; I found the Van Cortlandt label at my neighborhood Lunds.

I tweaked the recipe in a few places. After sampling both pre- and post-chocolate-coating versions, I preferred the former.

The latter, while closer in spirit to the Thin Mints ideal, becomes the very de¿nition of overkill, although the coating’s semisweet chocolate is a nice foil to the cookie’s sharper cocoa bite. The coating was also taking forever to set, so I transferred the coated cookies to the refrigerator, and that did the trick. It also reminded me: Aren’t Thin Mints better when swiped from the freezer?

Also, when preparing the ¿lling, the recipe requires four cups of powdered sugar. But as I was making it, the mixture became almost too thick to spread after the addition of just three cups, so this recipe reÀects that; even after that third cup, I added

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Homemade Thin Mint cookies have a creamy mint filling and smooth chocolate coating.

2 eggs For cream filling: 1⁄2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 tsp. peppermint extract 3 cup powdered sugar For chocolate coating: 13⁄4 cup semisweet chocolate chips 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

In making mint cookies, cut the chocolate cookie dough with a 2or 3-inch round cookie cutter or even smaller. a teaspoon of cream to coax the ¿lling into a more spreadable consistency. I skipped the suggested green food coloring; too Keebler.

Another discovery: It’s important to roll the dough as thinly as possible. Once refrigerated, the dough holds its shape and cuts easily and cleanly. The recipe calls for a 2- to 3-inch cookie cutter, but I went smaller, 11»2 inches.

Because this is an extremely rich cookie — it requires, yes, four sticks of butter — less is de¿nitely more. Even at that reduced

size, I could barely ¿nish one without hitting the butter-sugar wall.

Well, emphasis on the word barely.

Chocolate mint cookies Makes about 2 dozen sandwich cookies.

For cookies: 23⁄4 cup flour 11⁄4 cup Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder 1⁄2 tsp. fine sea salt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 tbsp. vanilla extract 2 cup powdered sugar 1⁄2 cup packed dark brown sugar

To prepare cookies: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, sift together Àour, cocoa powder and salt and reserve.

In bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar and dark brown sugar until light and Àuffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Add Àour mixture in thirds, beating until just combined and scraping down sides and bottom of bowl as necessary.

Divide dough in half and place half on each prepared cookie sheet. Place a piece of plastic wrap or another sheet of parchment paper on top of each one.

Use a rolling pin to roll out dough to 1»4-inch thickness. Wrap baking sheets in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.

When ready to bake, position a rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Remove one sheet of dough at a time from refrigerator and transfer cookie dough and parchment paper to kitchen counter.

Cut out cookies with a 2- to 3-inch round cookie cutter (even smaller is recommended, given the cookie’s richness).

Line baking sheet with fresh parchment paper and place cutout cookies, about 1 inch apart, on prepared baking sheet.

Refrigerate cutout cookies for at least 15 minutes, while you cut out second sheet of cookies.

Re-roll scraps of dough, rerefrigerate for at least 15 minutes and cut dough.

Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, until ¿rm to the touch and the smell of chocolate has begun to ¿ll the kitchen, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 2 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

To prepare cream ¿lling: In bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together butter and peppermint extract until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until light and Àuffy. Place a dollop of ¿lling (about 1 tablespoon) on bottom of one cookie and place another cookie, right side up, on top. Repeat with remaining cookies.

To coat cookies: Using a double boiler over gently simmering water, combine chocolate chips and butter and stir frequently until they have completely melted. Remove bowl from heat.

Set a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper.

Using 2 forks, quickly dip each cookie into warm chocolatebutter mixture, turning to coat, then gently place the cookie on the wire rack (if chocolate begins to harden, return it to double boiler over simmering water and stir until it melts again). Let cookies stand until set, and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.

Thin Mints: A perfect building block Any recipe is only a starting point. Just as any self-respecting Thin Mints fan would not be ashamed to crush a few of their favorite Girl Scouts cookies over ice cream and call it “dessert, “ this chocolate bomb of a recipe has possibilities that extend beyond the cookie jar.

As cookies go, this one is certainly substantial enough to do double duty as a dessert building block. So treat it like a brownie: Serve it in a small bowl, topped with ice cream. Dial up the sweetness factor with a drizzle of fudge or caramel sauce. Or go the lighter, more colorful berry sorbet route. My favorite? Calling upon fresh berries, whipped cream and a sprig of mint.

Horoscopes by Holiday

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS The zaftig Virgo moon flirts with Jupiter then with Pluto and finally with Mars, as if to round up a cosmic audience on this eve of the full moon.

What show does the lunar lady have in store?

With Venus newly in the harmonious realm of fellow earth sign Taurus, the theme will be beauty, health and vitality.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your will is strong, and what you want may indeed be what is best for everyone. However, you must be careful not to overpower others with the intensity of your passion.

TAURUS (April 20May 20). The games you choose are hard enough on their own, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to put up with team members who drag you down. Seek those who are warm, supportive and positive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Multitasking will prove to be generally a rotten idea except in the instances of listening to audio books while traveling or making phone calls while you walk an unpopulated stretch of track or sidewalk.

CANCER (June 22July 22). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll act in a vigorous and determined way to exert your authority and have a meaningful impact on how things turn out. You may spend a good deal of time working out how you might alter the behavior and thinking of others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling discouraged, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll rely too much on outer forces to shape your path. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you need to make sure that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling up and

enthusiastic before you ever leave the house. Call a peppy friend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go into the day with a take-charge attitude, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use your knowledge to alter your circumstances. Your winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mindset is unstoppable, though you should be warned that some will try.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As much as you may try to avoid being the center of attention today, the eyeballs will still be trained on you. It has to be this way because you know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and you need to teach others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be aware of how social conditioning shapes behavior. The one who is trying hard to live up to an image of independence may really need your help. Your compassion helps you see the truth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to be very selfconscious, because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so focused on experiencing all you can in one day.

You may even dare to sing solo in public or dance for no reason.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to put more emphasis on substance than form, though not immediately.

A lovely package will draw you in. But you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay â&#x20AC;&#x153;inâ&#x20AC;? if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing compelling inside it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You may be concerned about being criticized or judged harshly, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep you from putting your best work out there for all to see. Your courage keeps you moving forward.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be inspired by a person who really seems to have it all together.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already planning your future involvement with this person, whether or not you realize it.

TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BIRTHDAY (March 7). Though a playfulness dominates your energy this year, make no mistake: You still get plenty of serious business accomplished. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll purposefully execute new facets of your will through the next 10 weeks. The cast of characters in your personal life changes a bit in May, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy fresh influences. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 20, 1, 50 and 19.

COSMIC CONFIDENCE: In the age of Facebook and YouTube, there are more opportunities than ever before to project yourself in a public forum. Your astrological sign offers unique insight to help you gain the confident edge that will make others take notice and give you the right kind of attention. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your cosmic advantage?

SCORPIO: As the sign of mystery, privacy and intrigue, you can be the epitome of quiet confi-

dence. With a stoic solidity and very little movement, you command a full and serious quality of attention. Less is quite often more in your case, but you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not giving of yourself to satisfy some kind of social quota. You give what you feel like giving, period. A great deal of your personal charisma stems from precisely that kind of honesty. Because you are not reliant on the feedback of others, you sometimes forget to ask for it. In order to grow more effective, learn how to â&#x20AC;&#x153;read the room.â&#x20AC;?

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Happy birthday to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Birthdayâ&#x20AC;? weatherman Willard Scott. Perhaps best known for his jovial birthday wishes to centenarians on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;? show, Scott is also an author of fiction and nonfiction books. The compassionate Pisces was born when Mercury, Venus and Jupiter were all in the friendly sign of Aquarius.
