Board hears complaints against Comcast BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Citizen complaints about problems with Comcast cable service in Corinth are not going unnoticed by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. In Tuesday’s workshop meeting of the board, Mayor Tommy Irwin said he wants a Comcast representative on an upcoming agenda to discuss service.

City will request cable TV representative on upcoming agenda to discuss poor service He and Ward 3 Alderman Chip Wood have had conversations with Comcast in response to complaints. With the cable system’s transition to an all-digital system

and expanded services in November, Comcast has pushed its television customers to a digital box. The change was bumpy for some customers, resulting in numerous complaints

to city officials. City leaders have heard complaints about problems with the boxes, extensive waits for service calls and poor phone support.

“Most, but not all, of the complaints have been since Comcast upgraded their service,” said Wood. “Issues range from service outages, no sound, only receiving channels 3 through 12, picture freezing, or some TVs in the household work and others do not.” Some had trouble getting Please see COMCAST | 3

After hearing pleas to maintain minority representation, the Corinth Board of Aldermen on Tuesday reappointed Jerry Finger as a trustee for the Corinth School District.

The Corinth Junior Auxiliary needs the community’s help as it seeks candidates for the 2012 Outstanding Citizen award. The Junior Auxiliary will present the award during its annual Charity Event on March 31 at Shiloh Ridge Golf Club. 2012 will be the fifth year for the Out-

standing Citizen award. “The night of our Charity Ball we will announce the winner,” said Annie Richardson, president of Junior Auxiliary of Corinth. “The Charity Ball is pretty much in honor of the Outstanding Citizen. They’re given a plaque, and there’s a banner we hang every year at their residence.”

Nomination applications for Outstanding Citizen are available at the Corinth Library, The Alliance and the Daily Corinthian office. Winners are determined by a Junior Auxiliary committee using a “little formula” to determine the year’s Outstanding Citizen, Richardson explained. All nominations should con-

tain as much information as possible about the nominee. The winner will be chosen by this criteria: A) Attainments in personal life; B) Participation in church, civic and other organizations; C) Work with youth, underprivileged and/or handicapped; and D) Potential for continued achievement. Supporting information for

Outstanding Citizen candidates is welcome, including personal letters from friends, colleagues and individuals the candidate has served. “Many outstanding individuals are presented for this award each year,” said Richardson. “Due to the quality of Please see CITIZEN | 2

Groups honor Confederate soldier buried in Farmington BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Representatives from the local chapters of two heritage groups recently paid tribute to a Confederate soldier buried in Farmington. The Corinth Chapter 333 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Colonel William P. Rogers Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 321 placed and dedicated an Iron Cross of Honor on the grave of Pvt. Eli Franklin Romine at the Farmington Baptist Church. The Southern Cross of Honor was approved by the Confederate Congress on Oct. 13, 1862, and intended to be the equivalent of the Union Medal of Honor. None was made during the Confederacy’s brief life-span due to the wartime shortage of

metals. In 1898 the United Daughters of the Confederacy designed the Southern Cross of Honor Medal. It was awarded in recognition of loyal and honorably service by Confederate veterans until 1908. The medal consisted of a Maltese cross with “Southern Cross of Honor” on the front and the CSA’s motto, “Deo Vindice” (With God as our Vindicator) on the reverse. A second form of the Southern Cross of Honor seen on Confederate graves is a two-sided, cast iron replica of the medal which stands atop a metal rod on a Confederate soldier’s grave. It is referred to as the “Iron Cross of Honor.” The ceremony at Farmington Baptist Church began with an opening prayer by UDC mem-

ber Jean McCalla. Rosa Spencer, UDC president, and Col. Rogers SCV Camp Commander Larry Mangus unveiled the Iron Cross of Honor. Mangus delivered a tribute to the Confederate soldier buried in the Farmington cemetery. “There is not a great deal known about the actual service of Pvt. Romine, as with many Confederate soldiers his service records were lost,” Mangus explained. “We do know that he was a member of Company A of the Sixth Regiment of Mississippi Cavalry that was formed in Noxubee County in 1862.” The Sixth Mississippi was part of Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest’s command and served under Gen. Stephen D. Lee in

CRISS: Words of encouragement from readers

FINGER: Trustee praised as important role model

prompted columnist to take on the book project CONTINUED FROM 1

the collection as a way to thank the people who have followed her columns over the years. “It’s a thank-you-note for them for being supportive and reading my stuff throughout the years,” she said. Words of encouragement from her readers and their suggestions that she compile a book of columns prompted Criss to take on the book project, she explained. “If you like to write you like to write, but it’s nice when somebody says they like what you — it’s a pat on the back, makes you feel like you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing,” she said. Originally from Grenada, Criss didn’t begin her working life as a columnist. Following a course of study at Mississippi College in Clinton, she started out as an English teacher, but after seven years of teaching decided that she had to do whatever it took to get a job writing. She went back to school, this time at Ole Miss, with a new focus on journalism. She landed her first journalism job at a weekly paper in Carthage. One day her editor asked her for a column — and thus began her almost 20year career as an awardwinning columnist. Criss has written for

The Carthaginian, The Vicksburg Post, Daily Corinthian and, for the past 12 years, the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal in Tupelo, where she is the features and special sections editor. The columnist lived in Corinth for a number of years. After a year at The Banner Independent in Booneville, Criss and her sister, Beth Criss Cook, felt like it was time for a “professional hiatus.” They opened the Snickerdoodles restaurant on Cass Street in Corinth, where they served up sandwiches, salads, and homemade casseroles and desserts for two years. “Both of us took breaks,” she said. “It was not much of a break — both of us worked harder than we ever have.” During her time as restaurateur, Criss found a chance to continue writing. “The Daily Corinthian editor, Mark Boehler, gave me the opportunity to keep writing,” she remembered. Fast forward to the present day, and Criss is a popular columnist with a wide readership and a new book published. Events like the upcoming book signing at KC’s Espresso are a dream come true, she said. Another dream come true is having one of the writers she has long admired

to pen a forward for her book. “My friend Rheta Grimsley Johnson wrote the foreward to the book,” Criss said. “That’s quite an honor. I’ve admired her writing since high school or my early college years, and that’s been a long time.” Like many Mississippians, Criss feels that there’s something about the place that produces so many writers. Her answer to the “Why so many Mississippi writers?” question is simple — interesting people, places and stories. “I think it’s because — Lord have mercy — we have such diverse characters here. It’s long been my belief that everybody has a story if you take the time to listen to them long enough and pay attention. There are people like William Faulkner and Eudora Welty who paid attention to the people and places and listened and decided the stories were important to tell whether they were quirky and crazy or poignant and sad,” Criss said. “There’s certainly no place like Mississippi.” Copies of Criss’ book will be available at KC’s Espresso for the book signing. Look for a copy at Reed’s Gum Tree Book Store in Tupelo or order one by sending an email to clsproles@aol.com

night. Milus Copeland, president of the Alcorn NAACP branch, told the board the school district had 38 percent minority students at the time the NAACP petitioned the mayor and aldermen to add a second black member to the school board, and that has grown to 47 percent. “We don’t want to go back,” he said. “We want to maintain two positions on that board.” Rebecca Spence told aldermen that Finger is an important role model who has done positive acts many people do not know about, such as providing money to help keep the doors open at Project

Attention and funding scholarships. “The young black boys need to see a positive role model on the board so they can relate,” she said. “They don’t just hear about Jerry. They see him working. They see him in the community. They see him at church, they see him at the school, at the functions, at the ballgames, and he always carries himself in a way that is very positive.” She said the city already has the best man for the job. “It shouldn’t be about politics,” said Spence. “It shouldn’t be about, ‘Let’s change.’” Ann Walker, school board president, said aldermen should ask them-

selves: “What’s wrong with the district?” “We have people sitting on that board whose primary concern is the children of this district,” she said. “The secondary concern is the stewardship of the finances that have been put at our disposal. That is what we need to be successful. I think everyone in this room will come to the conclusion at the end of the day that we do have a successful district, and it’s because of the relationships and how we work together as a group.” The school board term is five years. In addition to Finger and Walker, the other school board members are Missy Woodhouse, Tom Rogers and Chip Peterson.

several battles in Mississippi. The unit was cited for gallantry in Forrest’s report on the Battle of Harrisburg — now part of Tupelo — where it was an advance unit that took terrific fire and suffered heavy casualties with 13 killed, 46 wounded and 14 missing. “They were lion-hearted officers and courageous men,” Forrest wrote in his report of the fighting at Harrisburg. “It was a sad blow that struck down these gallant spirits. In unselfish devotion to the cause and high courage they leave no superiors behind among men. Their noble natures and ardent patriotism, it is hoped,

will find in the soldier’s grave that peace for which their country has thus far struggled in vain, and for the achievement of which they have sacrificed their lives. Future generations will never weary in hanging garlands upon their graves.” Mangus said the two groups paying tribute to Romine was a confirmation of Forrest’s prediction for future generations. “That,” he said, “is exactly what we are doing today.” After sustaining heavy casualties at Harrisburg, Romine’s unit continued to fight until May 22, 1865, when it surrendered at Gainesville, Ala. The UDC president

spoke about Romine’s return to a state devastated by war. “He and other Confederate veterans went to work and rebuilt the South under very difficult conditions,” Spencer said. “Their courageous efforts and hard work are our legacy and Southern heritage, and that is why it is so important that we remember and honor, as General Forrest said, the gallant service of soldiers like Private Eli Franklin Romine.” Corinth UDC Vice President Kathryn Sewell and McCalla placed a wreath on Romine’s grave. Doyle Spencer closed the program with the Benediction. Larry Mangus contributed to this story.

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security officials have announced preliminary figures indicating the state has recorded the fewest number of traffic fatalities in 48 years. In 2011, there were 947 traffic-related deaths on Tennessee roadways, representing the lowest figure since 1963 when 941 people were killed as a result of a crash. Last year’s preliminary number of 947 traffic deaths marks just the third time in 48 years vehicular fatalities have dipped below 1,000. Since 2006, Tennessee traffic fatalities have declined by 26.2 percent, including a drop in fatalities involving large trucks (34.5 percent), pedalcyclists (28.6 percent), motorcyclists (19.1 percent) and pedestrians (4.5 percent). In 2011, State Troopers arrested 4,689 impaired drivers, rising 39 percent from the previous year. Additionally, drunken driving deaths fell 31.6

jury and alcohol-related crashes statewide in 2011. State Troopers worked 10,000 injury wrecks and 1,090 impaired driving crashes statewide last year, representing an 8.4 percent and 25.6 percent decline, respectively, from 2010. “One life lost is one too many, but we are encouraged by last year’s fatality results and will continue to make every effort to ensure the public’s safety on Tennessee roadways,” THP Col. Tracy Trott said. “From the beginning, I have pushed our personnel to intensify DUI enforcement across the state. The 2011 results are in part due to the sacrifice each Tennessee State Trooper has made to save lives.” “The Tennessee Highway Patrol, along with all of the county and municipal officers, worked hard to help us achieve this success,” Governor’s Highway Safety Office (GHSO) Director Kendell Poole said. “Throughout the year, we work with each agency to support and coordinate

We will continue to support these efforts and help make a positive impact in Tennessee.” Funding provided by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office has allowed the THP to continue providing increased enforcement and public awareness campaigns for the safety and security of state highways. Their financial support allows Troopers to work additional hours during special enforcement campaigns. “We wouldn’t be able to perform our duties without the continued support of our state and federal highway safety partners,” Colonel Trott said. “While the decline in Tennessee traffic fatalities is a good sign, there is still more work to be done to ensure the safety of traveling motorists.

SELMER, Tenn. — Funeral services for Mabel Christeen Russell, 93, formerly of Michie, are set for 11 a.m. today at Shackelford Funeral Directors of Selmer with burial at Michie Cemetery. Ms. Russell died Monday, Jan. 16, 2012, at Lynnfield Place in Selmer. Born March 18, 1918, in Hardin County, she was an underwriter and a member of Michie First Baptist Church.

percent from 2006 to 2010. On the other hand, seat belt usage still causes a major concern for law enforcement officials and highway safety advocates. While 2011 data indicates the safety belt usage rate was 87.4 percent in Tennessee, 56.3 percent of vehicle occupants killed in fatal crashes were not buckled up. “The 2011 decline in vehicular fatalities is a credit to the hard work and dedication of the Tennessee Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies, as well as a successful partnership with the Governor’s Highway Safety Office,” Commissioner Bill Gibbons said. “We are deploying State Troopers on a proactive basis to maximize the impact on public safety. The dramatic increase in DUI arrests reflects that effort on our part.” Thanks to increased public awareness campaigns, along with traffic safety and driving under the influence (DUI) enforcement, the THP investigated fewer in-

Corinth, Miss.

Other Views New economic blueprint for Mississippi launched During the excitement of the new Legislature being seated and statewide officials being sworn in, Mississippians may not have noticed that a new “blueprint” for the state’s development was also launched. As The Clarion-Ledger reported on Jan. 6, the Mississippi Economic Council gave newly elected officeholders a list of public policy recommendations that would help recruit more businesses, improve teacher quality and increase the amount of funding available to entrepreneurs. The MEC, as the state’s chamber of commerce, released the Blueprint Mississippi report, a set of policy recommendations for lawmakers and other state officials. Incoming Gov. Phil Bryant and new Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, both Republicans, pledged support for the plan. It has also received plaudits from public officials, business and education groups across the state, and that’s for a reason. The plan was developed “from the bottom up,” as a strategic plan for the state using the expertise of local and state officials as well as enlisting local communities to give their input into its formulation. ... ... Across the state, local people, academics, politicians, business leaders and policy makers see education as the top priority for the state to progress. It’s a long-term commitment that requires action now. Education and jobs are a partnership that works hand-in-hand with economic development in Mississippi, as noted in the article by Claiborne Barksdale, chief executive officer of the Barksdale Reading Institute in Oxford and chair of Blueprint’s Educational Achievement sector. As Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds, who led the Blueprint planning effort, said: “If you want to improve the economy in this state, then the first thing you also have to do is improve education.” Blueprint calls for innovative improvements, but it’s not a “giveaway,” also requiring accountability ... Blueprint also addresses, through the work of its Economic Competitiveness Council, efforts to increase skills-based education and to promote opportunities for those students who do not wish to seek a degree, thereby improving our ability to meet the needs of a growing middle-skill workforce, which provides a real base of opportunity for the future of the state. ... Lt. Gov. Reeves has said he expects a number of bills will be drafted using Blueprint. Other Blueprint goals include promoting health care and diversity, improving the state’s infrastructure, bettering coordination among public and private leaders, and making more money available for business expansion. But central to the plan is upgrading Mississippi’s “human capital.” . . . — The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson

Republican State Auditor Stacey Pickering carried on the Bryant lawsuit. The outside counsel fight also traces back to defrocked super lawyer Dickie Scruggs in the 1990s and the use of proceeds from state tobacco and asbestos litigation as a political weapon. The outside counsel devolved into a broader partisan debate between trial lawyers aligned with Democrats and the business/medical community aligned with Republicans. In essence, it grew out of the battle between the Scruggs-brainchild ICEPAC Former Attorney General Mike Moore and former Secretary of State Eric Clark filed suit seeking to force the U.S. Chamber to reveal the source of the $1 million in “soft” money the group spent in the 2000 Mississippi judicial elections. The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which refused to hear the case. A federal appeals court later ruled in favor of the Chamber. Then-State Medical Association president Dr. John Cook of Brandon accused U.S. Chamber opponents of trying to “excoriate the Chamber for failing to disclose the source of the mon-

ey it spent on the 2000 state judicial elections, while consistently refusing to mention that the trial lawyers political action committee (ICEPAC) did exactly the same thing with the huge sums of money it collected from out-of-state plaintiff attorneys who want to maintain the status quo in Mississippi’s strike-it-rich court system.” Hood has battled any attempts to bring accountability to the award of outside counsel legal contracts. Hood contends that such contracts actually represent a savings to the taxpayers, but it’s difficult for watchdog groups to ignore the fact that such contracts have a way of ending up in the hands of large campaign contributors to Hood as they did some of his predecessors in that office. Finally, the outside counsel issue has generated similar reform efforts in a number of states in recent years in attempts to bring more uniformity, transparency and openness to the outside counsel process.

Over the years, I’ve written I don’t know how many columns urging that some control be placed on the sale of weapons that go bang. Dozens probably, possibly even scores of them. Every time some clown would go berserk and mow down a baker’s dozen of his fellow citizens, I would deliver a rant about the idiocy of our failure to do something about the proliferation of guns in our society. Did it do any good? Even less than my global warming columns. There are more guns out there now than ever, and states have grown increasingly permissive about where and how people can pack heat. In other words, the battle has been lost. The absurd arguments of the National Rifle Association and the Merchants of Death lobby have carried the day. Why? Money, of course. Too many politicians have learned that to deviate even the slightest degree from the NRA’s absolutist positions is to invite a truckload of money into your opponent’s campaign, ensuring your

electoral defeat. The argument I find most absurd, by the way, is the constitutional one. Yes, the Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms. But “arms” back then had as much resemblance to modern weapons as an 18th-century schooner has to a nuclear submarine. Do you think our founding fathers would have looked at an assault rifle that can fire at a speed of 400 rounds a minute and said: “Oh yeah, that’s a good thing to have around the house?” or “Everybody should have one?” Get real. The Constitution is a wonderful document, but it’s outmoded in many ways. Consider the preposterousness of North Dakota having the same number of senators as California. But it’s not going to change any time soon, at least not for the better. Ladies and gentlemen, the Forces of Darkness are in the saddle, and they’re wearing spurs.

State Jackson businessman found dead BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — A prominent Jackson businessman has taken his own life, days after his former wife was released from prison by then-Gov. Haley Barbour, authorities said. Jackson Police spokeswoman Colendula Green told The Associated Press that the caretaker at Stuart M. Irby’s home called for an ambulance about at 8:04 p.m. on Tuesday. She said police and the Hinds County coroner arrived shortly thereafter and the coroner pronounced Irby dead about 9:04 p.m. Green said Irby hanged himself. “There were no signs of foul play,” Green said. Green said the caretaker told investigators that he last talked to Irby between 4:15 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. and “there was

nothing out of the ordinary.” In 2010, Irby settled a $60 million lawsuit filed by the estates of two doctors killed in a 2009 wreck for an undisclosed amount. His ex-wife, Karen Irby, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for two counts of manslaughter. Barbour last week ordered her released on conditional clemency. Department of Corrections records show she is out on house arrest. Green said Karen Irby was not at the home where Stuart M. Irby’s body was found. The Irbys previously filed for divorce. Officials with the Hinds County Chancery Clerk’s Office said Wednesday that records show the divorce had been finalized but the case file had been sealed. No other details were available. Karen Irby was among more than 200 people

convicted of crimes who received some sort of reprieve from Republican Barbour in the days before his second term ended Jan. 10. Most of the people received full pardons, some received medical releases and some received suspended sentences. Karen Irby was the only person who received conditional clemency from Barbour. He ordered that she serve three years on house arrest, plus two years under Department of Corrections supervision. Stuart M. Irby has made headlines since February 2009, when he and Karen Irby were involved in a fiery crash that injured them and killed two doctors on Old Canton Road in northeast Jackson. Karen Irby was driving and her husband was a passenger in Mercedes-Benz when it collided with a pickup driven by Dr. Daniel

Mark Pogue. Pogue and his fiancee, Dr. Lisa Dedousis, died in the headon collision. The families of the victims settled a $60 million lawsuit against the Irbys. Stuart Irby was part of the family that had created the Stuart C. Irby Co., a large electrical distributor bought in 2005 by French firm Sonepar. In 2011, Jim Hood rejected filing criminal charges against Stuart Irby in the crash. The family of Dedousis had sought the charges after Karen Irby had claimed that her husband had pulled her hair and struck her in the face just before the crash. Karen Irby later declined to take a polygraph to back up the allegations. Stuart Irby’s lawyers said he had no memory of the crash because he suffered a traumatic brain injury in the wreck.

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — The leader of the Mississippi Hospital Association says his group won’t fight renewal of a tax his members pay to help fund Medicaid. The association protested in 2009 when then-Gov. Haley Barbour pushed for the hospital tax. Now, the association’s president and CEO, Sam Cameron, says the tax gives hospitals something very important — predictability in their expenses. “It’s no question that it has cost us some financial negative impact for some of the hospitals,” Cameron said Tuesday. “But very honestly, without it, the funding of the Medicaid program would not be there.” Medicaid is a government health insurance pro-

gram for the needy. For every dollar Mississippi puts into it, the federal government pays almost three. Some of the state’s portion of Medicaid funding comes from the hospital tax. Cameron said the tax is based on a formula so complicated that hospitals rely on consultants to crunch numbers and make sure everyone is paying what they’re supposed to pay. The tax is set to expire June 30 unless lawmakers renew it this session. Officials say the hospital tax generates about $200 million a year, and that money is multiplied with the federal match. Gov. Phil Bryant, who took office Jan. 10, said he supports renewing the hospital tax because the state can’t afford to replace the Medicaid money that would be lost if the tax disappears.

Robbery suspect used infection threat Associated Press

SHARON, Pa. — Police say a man tried to rob a western Pennsylvania gambling parlor by threatening to spread a staph infection. Online court records don’t list an attorney for 41-year-old Fred Parker,

of Coolspring Township. Police say he walked into Lucky’s Internet Cafe in Sharon on Monday night and began touching the walls and gambling machines, claiming he has MRSA — a serious staph infection that resists antibiotics.

Sharon police Chief Mike Menster says Parker then threatened to infect the cashier if he didn’t give Parker money. The chief tells The Herald newspaper of Sharon, “It’s our first case of robbery by threat of an infectious disease.”

Paula Deen hid diabetes in pushing high-fat food BY LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Paula Deen, the Southern belle of butter and heavy cream, is making no apologies for waiting three years to disclose she has diabetes while continuing to dish up deep-fried cheesecake and other high-calorie, high-fat recipes on TV. She said she isn’t changing the comfort cooking that made her a star, though it isn’t clear how much of it she’ll continue to eat while she promotes health-conscious recipes along with a diabetes drug she’s endorsing for a Danish company. “I’ve always said, ‘Practice moderation, y’all.’ I’ll probably say that a little louder now,” Deen said Tuesday after revealing her diagnosis on NBC’s “Today” show. “You can have diabetes and have a piece of cake. You cannot have diabetes and eat a whole cake.” Health activists and one fellow chef called her a hypocrite for promoting an unhealthy diet along with a drug to treat its likely effects. Deen added her support of the Novo Nordisk company to a

Financial Freedom Begins With A Plan

collection of lucrative endorsements that include Smithfield ham and Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Deen, who will turn 65 today, said she kept her diagnosis private as she and her family figured out what to do, presumably about her health and a career built solidly on Southern cooking. Among her recipes: deepfried cheesecake covered in chocolate and powdered sugar, and a quiche that calls for a pound of bacon. “I really sat on this information for a few years because I said, ‘Oh, my gosh, what am I going to do about this? Is my life fixing to change? Am I no longer going to like my life?” she asked. “I had to have time to adjust and soak it all in and get up all the information that I could.” While Deen, who lives in Savannah, Ga., has cut out the sweet tea she routinely drank straight through to bedtime and taken up treadmill walking, she plans few changes on the air. Government doctors say that being overweight (as Deen is), over 45 (as Deen is) and inactive (as Deen was) increase the risk for developing Type 2 diabetes. Growth of the disease in the U.S. has been closely tied to

escalating obesity rates. Roughly 23 million Americans are believed to have the most common Type 2 diabetes; patients’ bodies either do not produce enough insulin or do not use it efficiently, allowing excess sugar, or glucose, to accumulate in the blood. Deen is the pitch person for Novo Nordisk’s new online program, Diabetes in a New Light, which offers tips on food preparation, stress management and working with doctors on treatment. She has contributed diabetes-friendly recipes to the website and takes the company’s drug Victoza, a once-daily noninsulin injection that had global sales of $734 million in the first nine months of 2011. A recipe for Lady and Sons Lasagna, on her diabetes-conscious site, uses extra-lean ground beef and cans of unsalted tomato sauce and diced tomatoes, for a dish estimated at 260 calories a serving. Turn to Deen’s collection of recipes on The Food Network’s site and find Grandmother Paul’s fried chicken, with Crisco shortening for frying, or baked French Toast casserole, with two cups of half-and-half and a half-pound of butter. No calorie counts are estimated. The Novo Nordisk site links to promotional materials for the drug Victoza. Company spokeswoman Ambre Morley and Deen declined to disclose how much she is being paid. Deen said she had no help or advice to offer the public when she was first diagnosed, but feels she’s making a contribution now.

Economists expect the Labor Department to report that 385,000 people applied for unemployment benefits last week. That would make 10 out of the last 11 weeks that applications have been below 400,000. That tells us that employers are laying workers off at a slower rate. But the number needs to fall below 375,000 consistently to signal that hiring is strong enough to bring the unemployment rate down.

Total Return goes ETF The world’s biggest mutual fund is about to get an ETF clone. PIMCO will launch the exchangetraded version of its $244 billion Total Return fund on March 1. Total Return is a bond mutual fund. Investors will be able to buy a portfolio almost identical to the mutual fund’s, and at a lower cost.

PIMCO Total Return fund (PTTAX) Minimum investment: $1,000 Upfront sales charge: 3.75 percent Expense ratio: 0.9 percent The ETF won’t have an upfront sales charge. Its expense ratio is expected to be 0.55 percent.

About the ETF

Return (annualized)

The ETF will trade under the symbol TRXT, and be managed by investor Bill Gross, who also runs the mutual fund. The funds will have a diversified portfolio of bonds that have an average maturity of around five years. But there will be differences in how investors buy and sell shares. Mutual funds are priced once a day. That means that when an investor sells, the price is set after the market closes. ETFs are priced throughout the trading day and can be traded like stocks. That makes it possible to buy or sell without waiting for a closing price.

Five biggest types of securities that the Total Return fund holds Mortgage securities U.S. Treasury debt Developed countries’ debt (excluding the U.S.) Investment grade corporate debt Emerging markets debt single share. Share pricing for the PIMCO Total Return ETF hasn’t yet been set. Many ETFs are priced around $100 a share.

How much will it cost? PIMCO expects that ETF investors will pay an expense ratio of 0.55 percent. That means investors will pay $5.50 a year for every $1,000 invested in the fund. That money goes to pay the costs of operating the fund. The mutual fund for individual investors charges 0.90 percent. The ETF won’t have an up-front sales charge, or load. Individual investors can pay a load of as much as 3.75 percent for the mutual fund. Investors who buy the ETF through a brokerage account may have to comply with restrictions and pay commissions. But it may be possible to start investing in the ETF for as little as the cost of a

A new breed of ETFs The new ETF will be one of a small but growing number of actively managed ETFs. Most ETFs have a fixed portfolio. But Gross is an active manager with a reputation as a winner. He did have a rough 2011 because he sold his fund’s Treasury bonds on expectations they would fall. They rallied instead. Total Return returned 3.4 percent, less than nearly 90 percent of funds in its category. The fund is up 1.3 percent this year and ranks in the top 3 percent of its category.

Financial analysts don’t have great expectations for the software maker’s results. They expect Microsoft’s most profitable business, the software franchise built around Windows, to show a drop in revenue, the fourth in the last five quarters. Windows is being hurt by consumers’ growing preference for mobile devices that run on other operating systems. Many would-be PC buyers may also be holding out for a new version of Windows.

Bank of America’s fourth-quarter earnings report is expected to show that it’s still struggling with the costs of lawsuits from investors who bought mortgages that failed during the housing and financial crisis. And it’s expected to join JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup in reporting that investment banking was hurt by financial markets’ volatility. It should show a profit — it sold its stake in a Chinese bank for $1.8 billion during the quarter.

Manning misses practice with stomach illness Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning missed part of Wednesday’s practice session with an illness that coach Tom Coughlin called “a stomach bug, hopefully a 24-hour deal.” Manning was placed on the Giants’ injury report for the first time this season as a limited participant in practice, though he missed the majority of it. The team is preparing to play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday for the NFC championship.

Youth Softball-Baseball The Corinth/Alcorn Co. Parks and Recreation Department will be conducting youth baseball and youth girls softball registration from February 21 until March 2. Age groups for girls are (3-4 Coed T-Ball), (6U Coach Pitch), (8U Coach Pitch), (10U Fast Pitch), (12U Fast Pitch) and (14U Fast Pitch). A girls age of December 31, 2011 determines the age in which the girl is eligible to play in 2012. Age groups for the boys are (4-5 Coed T-Ball), (6 yr. old Coach Pitch), (7-8-Coach Pitch), (910), (11-12) and (13-15). The birth date cutoff for boys is May 1. All players without birth certificate on file must show one before registering. All teams will be redrafted every year. The season will begin April 2 for some age groups. The cost is $35/one child, $70/two children and $100/three children or more. To register come by the park office; for information call 286-3067. Office hours are 8 a.m. till 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and on February 25 from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m.

“If there is one guy who can miss a practice Wednesday mentally, it’s No. 10,” guard Chris Snee said of Manning, who has had his best pro season. “He was probably in here on Monday and Tuesday looking at film.” Tight end Jake Ballard figured Manning headed right home to recuperate — and watch film. “He’s probably going to spend the rest of the day doing that,” Ballard said. Also limited Wednesday were defensive ends Justin Tuck (shoulder) and Osi

Umenyiora (ankle, knee), cornerback Corey Webster (hamstring) and rookie linebacker Mark Herzlich (ankle). Missing practice completely was running back Ahmad Bradshaw with a foot problem. Bradshaw frequently has sat out practices or been limited in recent weeks. Ballard said it was apparent immediately Wednesday morning that Manning wasn’t feeling well. “You could tell he was hurting bad,” Ballard said. “He usually toughs things

out like that. You could tell he was dragging, and you don’t like to see your Pro Bowl quarterback throwing up or feeling like that. Hopefully he’s better tomorrow.” Snee wants to make sure of that, so he offered some help. “I’m actually going to bring him some soup tomorrow,” Snee said. “I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure he is at full strength.” Some home cooking? “Southern gumbo,” Snee joked. “Or whatever they have in the cafeteria.”

Ravens will wait until Sunday to rough up Brady BY DAVID GINSBURG Associated Press

OWINGS MILLS, Md. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Baltimore Ravensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense intends to spend much of Sunday afternoon harassing New England quarterback Tom Brady and burying him in the pocket. Until that time, the game plan evidently is to smother him with praise. Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs got into a shouting match with Brady in 2009 after the quarterback appeared to be demanding a penalty flag for a late hit. More recently, Suggs suggested that Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two Super Bowl

wins were â&#x20AC;&#x153;questionableâ&#x20AC;? and that he continues to receive preferential treatment from officials. Suggs abandoned the grudge Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no beef,â&#x20AC;? he insisted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess the genesis of that, it was the incident in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09 where I almost hit him below the waist. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten over it. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where it all started, but you grow and mature. As you all can clearly see, I am not the same guy I was back in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09. I am definitely 20 pounds lighter, too.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart enough to know a war of words isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary just four days before the AFC title game.

So this is what Suggs decided to say about Brady this time around: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all said and done, they are going to speak about three quarterbacks: Johnny (Unitas), Peyton (Manning) and him.â&#x20AC;? Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis narrowed the field, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about arguably one of the two best quarterbacks of all time.â&#x20AC;? The Ravens have plenty of reasons to respect Brady. The cold facts are that he threw six touchdown passes last week in a 45-10 rout of Denver and is 4-1 lifetime against Baltimore â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the lone loss

coming in the 2008 playoffs. Nothing is more important for the Ravens on Sunday than stopping Brady. The first step in getting that done is to make sure he has very little time to throw in the pocket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to pressure Brady,â&#x20AC;? linebacker Jarret Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you let him stand there, he is going to kill you.â&#x20AC;? Ravens coach John Harbaugh couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anything bad to say about the Patriotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; star. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He may be one of the elite quarterbacks ever to play the game,â&#x20AC;? Harbaugh

period, is playing at a very high level.â&#x20AC;? Let the compliments fly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played the Patriots several times, and the games always come down to being classic,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brady is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and there is no better mind in football than (New England coach) Bill Belichick. So with all of that being said, here is our opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Brady, similarly, has decided itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wiser to say nice things about the Ravens than to give them added incentive to come after him Sunday.

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accurate, he throws the ball hard and throws a catchable ball at the same time. He moves around fairly well in the pocket, all those things.â&#x20AC;? In four regular-season games against Baltimore, Brady has helped the Patriots generate 24, 27, 27 and 23 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got our hands full this week,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You watched what they did last week against Denver. Just the way they came out and ran their offense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how efficient he was, how many different receivers he hit with the ball. I think that offense,

Jim, John Harbaugh a win away from Super Bowl Associated Press

SANTA CLARA, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When addressing his 49ers this week, Jim Harbaugh can point to the monumental miss in his 15-year NFL career: He came a Hail Mary short of making the Super Bowl. He still has an out-ofwhack right pinkie and noticeable hitch in his step to show for his time in the league. His big brother, John, never played at footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest level and instead might motivate his Balti-

more Ravens with examples of sacrifices by military members in real-life conflicts. The Harbaughs, separated in age by all of 15 months, took different paths to the doorstep of the Super Bowl. Now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sparking talk of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Superbaugh.â&#x20AC;?

Jim Harbaugh was a star college quarterback at Michigan, a first-round draft pick and eventual Pro Bowler who turned to coaching much later.

While the brothers have spoken during the playoffs, Jim is quick to point out they are each handling business their own way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each situation is different,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some similarities, there are some differences.

In last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 36-32 last-second win against Drew Brees and the favored Saints, Harbaugh even used star defensive tackle Justin Smith for a few plays on offense. He gets a kick out of the game-planning process and throwing in some new wrinkles each week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really enjoyable. Yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun part of the job, and I think the thing that makes it fun is that the

players are really stimulated by that,â&#x20AC;? Jim Harbaugh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got smart guys that they want it, they almost need it.

Throughout the season, the Harbaughs talk regularly to share ideas, yet suddenly are in scouting mode with the potential for another history-making matchup next month in Indianapolis. On Thanksgiving night, they became the first brothers to face each other as NFL head coaches.

VERNON DAVIS, TE, 49ERS First, there was Joe Montana to Dwight Clark for “The Catch” in the 1982 NFC title game. Then, there was Steve Young to Terrell Owens for “The Catch II” in the 1998 Wild Card Round. Now, San Francisco has “The Catch III” — with Alex Smith finding Davis down the middle for a 14-yard game-winning TD with nine seconds remaining in a thrilling 36–32 victory over the Saints. Davis, who was emotional coming off the field before embracing coach Jim Harbaugh following the biggest reception of his career, finished the game with seven catches for 180 yards and two trips to the end zone. HAKEEM NICKS, WR, GIANTS Davis’ highlight catch on Saturday afternoon was not the only spectacular grab of the weekend. On Sunday evening, Nicks had an even more unbelievable snag — catching a 37-yard Hail Mary from Eli Manning as time expired on the first half of a 37–20 upset victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Packers. The Lambeau Field faithful were shocked, as Nicks came down with the jump ball score to give the G-Men a 20–10 halftime lead they would not relinquish. Nicks has 13 catches for 280 yards and four TDs in New York’s two playoff wins. ED REED, S, RAVENS One of the top ball-hawks in NFL history, Reed recorded his eighth INT in 10 career playoff games during a hard-fought 20–13 win over the Texans. On the first play after the two minute warning, Reed picked off Houston rookie T.J. Yates, jumping to take the ball out of the sky at the four-yard-line. The future Hall of Famer also batted down Yates’ last-ditch effort on the final play of the game, landing awkwardly on his left ankle after ensuring the Baltimore victory.

■ Patriots quarterback TOM BRADY put on a passing clinic on Saturday night, as the Pats marched past Tim Tebow and the Broncos, 45–10. Brady completed 26-of-34 passes for 363 yards, six TDs and one INT for a 137.6 passer rating. In the process, Brady tied the NFL single-game playoff record — held by Steve Young and Daryle Lamonica — with six passing TDs, while setting a new postseason mark with five scoring strikes in the first half. “He’s been around the block a few times,” said Denver cornerback Champ Bailey. “He knows how to win games. If you’re not ready to punch him in the mouth, he’s going to eat you up all night.” Brady’s playoff fantasy owners hope there are still two more games — against the Ravens and in Super Bowl XLVI — where the statistical big dog feasts on opposing defenses.

Déjà Blue Giants upset No. 1 seed Packers at Lambeau Field By NATHAN RUSH Athlon Sports Editor

Iconic New Yorker Yogi Berra would probably say it was, “Déjà vu all over again.” Fans of the New York Giants, however, might prefer to think of their upset victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers as, “Déjà Blue.” The last time Big Blue played a postseason game in Titletown, Eli Manning led a 23–20 overtime upset over Brett Favre in the snow. That contest would ultimately be Favre’s last game as the starter in Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers’ last game as the Packers’ backup. Fast forward four years, and the Giants have done it again. But this time, they didn’t need overtime to defeat this year’s No. 1 seed in the NFC. New York conquered Green Bay, 37–20, in a game that shocked the powerhouse that entered the playoffs with a league-best 15–1 record. “It doesn’t feel good. It’s not how I expected to feel standing here,” said Packers coach Mike McCarthy, after the game. “It’s a locker room that expected a lot more. In Green Bay, it’s about winning championships. Just going to the playoffs is not enough.” Manning completed 21-of-33 passes for 330 yards, three TDs and one INT. Seven of those completions went to receiver Hakeem Nicks for 165 yards and two scoring strikes — including a 37-yard Hail Mary as time expired on the end of the first half. “It was just a great job by Hakeem,” said Manning, describing the momentum-shifting jump ball TD that gave the Giants a 20–10 lead heading into halftime. “I just kind of threw it up there and as the ball was coming down I saw Hakeem in the mix, saw him jump up with no one else going after the ball. It was just a great job by him to hold onto the ball and get a touchdown. It gave us all the momentum going into halftime.” The 6'1", 208-pound third-year wideout ran to his spot, timed his jump and hauled in the score.

RAVENS (13-4) AT PATRIOTS (14-3) SUNDAY, JAN. 22, 3:00 PM ET, CBS

Many thought Mr. Gisele Bundchen had gone Hollywood. After all, Tom Brady hasn’t won a Super Bowl ring since after the 2004 season. But Touchdown Tom has never looked better — or more focused — than he did during his record-breaking performance in a 45–10 blowout of the Broncos. Brady completed 76.5 percent of his passes for 363 yards, six TDs and one INT. This is Brady’s team. Athletic tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez are dangerous weapons, slot receiver Wes Welker is a first-down maker and the running back by committee is effective. But the Patriots begin and end with Brady, who carries a 15–5 career record in the playoffs with a 3–1 mark on Super Sunday. Brady has struggled against the Ravens recently, however, posting seasonlow passer ratings against Baltimore in each of the last two seasons — throwing one TD and two INTs for a 69.5 rating in a 23–20 Week 6 win last year, while tossing two TDs and three INTs for a 49.1 rating in a 33–14 defeat in the Divisional Round of the playoffs following the 2009 season. On the other side, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco may have been joking when he said, “If we win, I’ll have nothing to do with why we won,” but there is some truth to that statement. The Fu Manchu mustache-wearing signal-caller rarely gets credit for wins but almost exclusively takes blame for Baltimore losses. In the Ravens’ 13 wins, Flacco has thrown 17 TDs and six INTs; in their four losses, he has five TDs and six INTs. Obviously, Flacco must play well in New England. But the real focus will be on Baltimore’s defense, which is led by future Hall of Famers in linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed, as well as current All-Pros in edge-rusher Terrell Suggs and runstuffer Haloti Ngata. If coach John Harbaugh’s strongest side of the ball is unable to slow down New England’s potent passing attack and, namely, Brady, then the Ravens have no chance to beat the Patriots. Running back Ray Rice is the X-factor. If the defense can force FGs and turnovers, the offense must be able to control the clock with Rice. New England coach Bill Belichick has been putting band-aids on his defense’s secondary all season, mixing and matching personnel based on the situation. The Pats’ pass rush doesn’t have to necessarily sack Flacco, but pocket-collapsing nose tackle Vince Wilfork and Co. cannot give him time to find home run hitter Torrey Smith or physical veteran Anquan Boldin downfield.

Athlon Sports

Giants quarterback Eli Manning carries a 6–3 career playoff record, with a 2–0 mark at Lambeau Field in the postseason following a 37–20 win over the Packers.

“I took it back to my basketball days,” joked Nicks. “I went up and got the ball.” The Giants defense forced four turnovers of the Packers, who appeared sluggish and rusty following what amounted to two weeks off — their Wild Card bye week and the Week 17 benching of most starters by McCarthy. “We’re a great defense,” said defensive end Osi Umenyiora, who pressured Rodgers all night, recording two sacks and one forced fumble. “We might not have showed most of it during the regular season, but that doesn’t matter. This is the postseason and we’re playing the way we’re supposed to be playing right now. We’ve been playing well for the past four or five games now. Hopefully we’ll keep it going and take this thing all the way. New York has won its last four games — and its second straight playoff contest at storied Lambeau Field. Tom Coughlin’s club is looking “dangerous,” according to the coach.

“We got beat by a team that played better tonight,” said Rodgers, who completed only 26-of-46 passes for 264 yards, two TDs and one INT in a disappointing defeat. “We play to win championships. You win a championship and you’re kind of at the top of the mountain, and you forget how bad this feeling is. We had a championship-caliber regular season and didn’t play well today.” The Giants now turn their attention to the NFC Championship Game, where they will face the San Francisco 49ers in a rematch of a Week 10 loss earlier this season. “It’s an opportunity to get this win and go on to the Super Bowl,” said Manning. “It’s going to be exciting going out there and having another shot and seeing what we can do.” The last time the Giants won a playoff game at Lambeau Field, they went on to raise the Vince Lombardi Trophy after knocking off the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Will history continue to repeat itself? New York sure hopes so.

Consensus 179-85 Patriots by 7 Giants by 1

New York’s playoff formula has mirrored the one that the G-Men used en route to winning Super Bowl XLII just four seasons ago. The potent combination of Eli Manning on offense and a devastating Big Blue Wrecking Crew front four on defense has been the secret to success and will continue to be. Manning has completed 67.7 percent of his passes for 607 yards, six TDs and only one INT in wins over the Falcons and Packers. His go-to guy during that stretch has been Hakeem Nicks, who has hauled in 13 catches for 280 yards (21.5 ypc) and four TDs — including a momentum-shifting jump ball as time expired on the first half in the upset at Lambeau Field. Manning-to-Nicks (or breakout wideout Victor Cruz) will need to continue their tear in San Francisco. The No. 1 overall pick the year after Manning, 49ers quarterback Alex Smith is coming off a statement performance in a win over the Saints. Even so, Smith must avoid doing too much and continue to protect the ball. Coach Jim Harbaugh’s club made it this far with a blue-collar approach — bludgeoning opponents with running back Frank Gore on offense and suffocating teams with a hard-hitting defense led by All-Pro middle linebacker Patrick Willis and end Justin Smith. San Fran’s stop-unit ranked No. 1 against the run (77.2 ypg), No. 2 in scoring defense (14.3 ppg) and No. 4 in total defense (308.2 ypg) during the regular season. Until giving up 32 points to the Saints in the Divisional Round, the Niners had not allowed more than 27 points this season; only four teams hit the 20-point mark against the 49ers, who are 14–3 overall and 8–1 at home under Harbaugh. A low-scoring game favors San Francisco. But big plays — like the ones tight end Vernon Davis provided vs. New Orleans — must come from somewhere in order to keep up with the explosive Giants. Since Week 16, New York is 4–0 with an offense averaging 30.3 points and a defense that is allowing just 12.5 points in must-win games over the Jets, Cowboys, Falcons and Packers. If terrorizing pass-rushers Jason Pierre-Paul, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck are able to pressure Smith into making costly mistakes, Big Blue could make a big splash in the Bay. The 49ers beat the Giants, 27–20, in Week 10. That game went down to the final seconds, as Manning’s fourth-down pass from the 10-yard-line was batted down by Smith. The rematch could be just as close.

Tebow played through injuries in playoff loss BY ARNIE STAPLETON The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Tim Tebow needs more R&R than anyone thought. The Broncos quarterback played through rib, lung and chest injuries he sustained in Denver’s 4510 loss at New England in the AFC divisional playoffs last weekend. He won’t need surgery, is expected to make a full recovery with some down time and his offseason training program

shouldn’t be affected in any way. ESPN first reported Wednesday that Tebow got hurt on a third-quarter tackle, then had trouble sleeping because of the pain and underwent an MRI on his chest Monday. Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said that while he couldn’t confirm the exact extent or nature of the injuries due to team policy, he acknowledged that Tebow finished the game in considerable

pain. Backup Brady Quinn quickly got ready to go into the game after Tebow was hit by Vince Wilfork and Rob Ninkovich, but Tebow stayed in and finished up. “It’s just the physicality of playing football. Sometimes you get hit and it can hurt a little bit. But, I wanted to play a lot of the game,” Tebow said after the game. The outcome had long been decided by the time Tebow got hurt.

“I just wanted to show character. You just continue to fight and it doesn’t change who you are, how you play, how you go out there, you should be the same at all times,” Tebow said. “That’s what I wanted to show, it didn’t matter if it was the first play or the last play or you were down by 42. I was going to be the same player and I was still going to give everything I have. Because that’s all I have to give.” Tebow wasn’t in the locker room during a one-

hour media window on Sunday, emerging with a smile from the trainer’s room as reporters were filing out as the players streamed to their endof-season meeting with coach John Fox. On Monday, Broncos boss John Elway declared Tebow the incumbent starting QB entering training camp next summer and reiterated his plan to work with him during the offseason to help polish his passing game.

Tebow went 8-5 as the Broncos starter after supplanting Kyle Orton following a 1-4 start. He engineered a six-game winning streak that included four straight fourth-quarter comebacks that sent Tebowmania into full pitch. He faded at the end, losing his last three starts, including one to the Kansas City Chiefs and Orton, but the Broncos backed into the playoffs nevertheless at 8-8 as champions of the middling AFC West.

Horoscopes by Holiday BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tension in the air as the sun says goodbye to Capricorn at a meaningful angle to Saturn, otherwise known as Father Time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to argue with tradition, but argue we do, partly because we realize that the future is up to us. The Sagittarius moon suggests that change is given and expansion is a requirement. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lead conversations and influence others strongly with your words. You have the power to bring a mood up or down with your chosen topic of conversation. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Misunderstandings and losses will occur if you hurry into anything now. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rush? Take your time and do your research. Avoid major financial decisions and risks for the time being. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). All that you need to learn is readily available to you in your current situation. Maybe you think the energy will change if you seek a new position, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. So instead, work your current scene to the best of your ability. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Hone your talents by exploring what captures

your interest and quickly move past what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find friends and group activities especially fun tonight. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your social network could use some attention. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent time to remember those who have supported you in the past with a kind gesture. Also, make a list of potential future supporters. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you like something, you often like it so much that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to keep from selling others on it as well. Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about time you made a commission. Consider becoming an affiliate. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It will be very difficult for you to assess your own situation. You need a knowledgeable and objective person to give you perspective, tell you where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going right and what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing wrong. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Who you are on the inside will make a certain reality outside of you come into being. Be clear about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating. Feel the energy of what you want your future to be, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll naturally begin to move toward it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov.

22-Dec. 21). Your desire for greater peace on the subject of relationships will manifest itself in quiet moments of reflection. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice your true feelings with great specificity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Your mind loves to complicate things because unraveling the puzzle keeps you sharp. All the while, you know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a game and when you want to see the situation in an uncomplicated way, you will. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). There are many reasons you should invest in yourself. For one, you deserve it. Also, the world will be a better place because you make personal development a priority. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The difference between being extraordinary and being ordinary is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;extra.â&#x20AC;? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll push yourself to do more than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected. Then suddenly doing more is the new normal. TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 19). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll approach life with new creativity and a gleeful heart. Potential mates and business partners find you attractive in February. March brings the opportunity to put your faith in a loved one, and this person will

make you proud. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find money in April. Special training in the fall will increase your financial bottom line. Leo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 39, 20 and 6. GEMINI YEAR AT A GLANCE 2012 JANUARY: There will be many options on the career front promising you â&#x20AC;&#x153;next levelâ&#x20AC;? access. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all be right. Take your time in deciding the right fit. FEBRUARY: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be focused on self-improvement, but stay involved with loved ones, too. Make sure they know you care. MARCH: The full moon on the 8th brings romance, drama and excitement. APRIL: Venus amps up your confidence.

THE SINNERS PRAYER Across the years, thousands have been taught that all that one has to do to be saved is to pray the sinners prayer. The Bible does not teach that one is saved by praying the sinners prayer. Prayer is a spiritual blessing available only to those who are in Christ. Paul revealed that all spiritual blessings are in Christ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Eph 1:3). Paul gives a description of those who were not in Christ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the worldâ&#x20AC;? (Eph 2:12). The Bible reveals how and when one gets into Christ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his deathâ&#x20AC;? (Rom 6:3)? No one is in Christ before being baptized into Christ and into His death. God only hears the righteous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sacriďŹ ce of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delightâ&#x20AC;? (Prov 15:8). Peter taught the same thing in 1 Peter 3:12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evilâ&#x20AC;?. John revealed what a blind man said after he was healed in (John 9:31). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he hearethâ&#x20AC;?. The Jews were told, â&#x20AC;&#x153;. . . Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghostâ&#x20AC;? (Acts 2:38). Saul of Tarsus was told, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lordâ&#x20AC;? (Acts 22:16). The Bible does not teach the sinners prayer. God requires faith, repentance, confession of faith and baptism in order to be savedâ&#x20AC;? (Heb 11:6; Acts 17:30; Acts 8:37; Acts 2:38). The sinners prayer did not originate with God, but with men. There is not a conversion in the book of Acts where they were told to pray the sinners prayer. We must be willing to accept what is revealed from God and not from men. We will be saved if we follow God, but not if we follow men. (1 Tim 2:4)
