It’s an investment in the education of future employees.

Caterpillar continued its partnership with Northeast at Corinth by donating a C9 ACERT diesel engine for display at the campus.

“Caterpillar’s remanufacturing facilities in Mississippi have a long-standing relationship with Northeast Mississippi Community College,” said Caterpillar Reman Plant Manager John Mocny. “We are proud to partner with Northeast to help develop educational and career opportunities for students.”

“It is wonderful when two partners can see that both are needed,” added Northeast President Dr. Johnny Allen. “This donation is a good symbol of that partnership.”

The 285 to 425 horsepower engine will be displayed in hopes that students will be drawn to the craft of building engines.

The weekend brings several Black History Month commemorations with a mix of emphasis on history, reflection and the arts.

Three guest speakers will join the Alcorn County NAACP branch at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Lighthouse Foundation on South Johns Street. Event Chair Pauline Sorrell said the chapter invites all members of the community to join them.

Guest speakers are Dan Coleman, associate director of recruiting for Mississippi State University; Shea Gwyn, head teller at Renasant Bank; and Jennifer McCoy, who has a background in aerospace and has been a neighborhood planner for Tupelo.

“We wanted to target this program toward our youth,” said Sorrell. “Dan Coleman will be speaking about the importance of education, and Shea Gwyn is going to be speaking about finances and the importance of credit, savings and retirement.”

The program also includes performances by the Macedonia Baptist Church Praise Team and youth of the Boys and Girls Club, as well as readings by community youth on black history reflections.

The Crossroads Arena has a number of events scheduled in March including a Civil War Relic Show, Monster Trucks, Motocross and a rodeo.

“We designated March as ‘dirt month’ because so many promoters want to come here at this time of the year. The promoters want to come when the dirt is already down,” said Cindy Davis, arena staff.

The events are familyoriented and are scheduled both before and after spring break. “The promoters feel kids need good entertainment,” she said. “We invite everybody to come out.”

Events in March kick off with a Civil War Relic Show set March 3-4 in the Convention Center.

This event will be open on Saturday, March 3 from 9-5 and on Sunday 9-3. Admission is $5; and $3 for children under 13.

This marks the third year the Civil War Relic Show and Sale has been held here.

“We had a really, really big response last year. Civil War buffs should definitely come out for this,” she said.

The event is sponsored by the Col. W.P. Rogers - Sons of Confederate Veterans, Camp #321.

Vendors are expected to arrive from Kentucky, Arkansas and Illinois, among other places.

Also on Saturday, March 3, Indoor Motocross is set to take place with practice at noon. The main event gets underway at 7 p.m. Admission is $12. Children 6 years and under will be admitted free.

Get ready for Monster Trucks March 9-10, starting at 7:30 nightly. Gates open at 6 nightly.

Davis suggests attendees purchase tickets in advance since ticket prices are higher if purchased at the door.

BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

A couple of local amateur photographers are planning a fundraising Easter photo shoot to help Havis Hurley’s effort to take a group of special needs kids to Disney World.

Bill Avery and Lisa Wilbanks — known for their photo exhibits at the Corinth Library — will be taking 8-by-10 Easter Bunny and family portraits for $10 each with all proceeds to benefit Hurley’s effort.

Hurley will be taking approximately 45 special kids and their chaperones on a five-day trip this summer to Disney World in Florida.

“I hope this inspires people to get the training to be future employees of Caterpillar,” said Allen.

“The engine isn’t a toy, it is a training aid.”

According to Mocny, the Mississippi facilities are home to engineers and technicians who not only produce products, but also develop new

technologies to remanufacture components used in Caterpillar engines and equipment.

“To maintain our leadership in this field, it is essential we invest in the education of our future employees,” said the plant manager. “Caterpillar is committed to Northeast for the long haul.”

Northeast at Corinth Director Nelson Wall was

very appreciative of the donation.

“Caterpillar has been a staunch supporter since the very beginning,” said Wall.

Allen says the donation is a symbol of a strong partnership between the two.

“Caterpillar making this donation on its own represents a bond,” said the college president.

“This is a nice thing on many levels.”

Early voting under way in McNairy

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

Early voting for Tennessee’s Super Tuesday presidential primary is already under way in McNairy County and across the state.

Voters will be able to participate in early voting through Feb. 28.

A registered Tennessee voter can vote at the McNairy County Election Commission office in the basement of the McNairy County Courthouse. The other way to vote early is by mail, for those with a statutory reason. “We had 17 people to vote on the first day of early voting,� said Joanie Collins, administrator of elections in McNairy County. “We look for several more to vote early before the Feb. 28 deadline.�

Collins said the election

commission office is open for early voting MondayFriday from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m.-12 p.m.

Voters must have a photo ID with them when they cast their early ballot. Collins said there were no problems with the new photo ID requirement on the first day of early voting last week.

Tennessee is one of 10 states that will hold their presidential primaries March 6.

There are many advantages to voting early, namely being able to choose a day during the early voting period that best fits the voter’s schedule and the voter being able to change his or her address of registration and vote in the same voting location, said Collins.

MSU offers Summer Civil War Institute Curriculum includes trips to Shiloh, Corinth sites

BY ALLISON MATTHEWS amatthews@ur.msstate.edu

STARKVILLE — Thirty social studies teachers from across the state will have the opportunity to be part of the second Social Studies Teachers’ Summer Institute at Mississippi State.

Participants will be selected on a first-come basis for the free June 17-22 university workshop.

The curriculum is designed to assist history and social studies educators in teaching 21st century students the relevancy of the American Civil War, whose 150th anniversary observance is under way.

March 15 is the deadline for applications, which may be completed at http://library.msstate. edu/content/templates/ usgrant/2012%20Brochure.pdf.

Public, private and home-school teachers are encouraged to take part.

The institute is sponsored by the National Park Service’s Shiloh and Vicksburg national military parks, along with MSU Libraries and campus-based Ulysses S. Grant Association.

Funded through an NPS “Teaching History through Civics� grant, it provides on-campus lodging, transportation to and from historic sites, and meals

throughout the week.

Campus activities will be held in Mitchell Memorial Library. The sixday schedule includes lectures by Civil War scholars, along with visits to the battlefields of Shiloh in Tennessee, and Vicksburg in Mississippi. Excursions will also include visits to Corinth and the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson, as well as to the Starkville Artillery Museum. “Teachers always are working hard to present the best information possible to their students, and this institute will give those who teach social studies the opportunity to interact with leading historians of the Civil War and improve their effectiveness in the classroom,� said John F. Marszalek, Grant Association executive director and retired MSU faculty member.

While the workshop is free, four continuing education units will be available to interested participants for a $20 fee. “It is going to be an exciting week, which will affect history learning in the state for a long time,� added Marszalek, a nationally recognized Civil War scholar.

Preaching abstinence in state sex education not being effective For too long, sex education has been a fourletter word in the state of Mississippi.

The reality is, teenagers are having sex. In an ideal world, they’d wait until adulthood; better yet, they’d wait until marriage. However, wishing something doesn’t make it so.

We’ve rattled off these statistics before: The state’s rate of teenage mothers is 110 out of every 1,000, according to the 2011 Kids Count Data Book. The national rate is 73 out of every 1,000. According to the Mississippi State Department of Health, 9,955 children ages 10-19 contracted an STD in 2008.

Legislation passed in October requires every district in the state to adopt some form of sex education by June 30. Lawmakers are finally starting to deal with the problem on a level that makes sense.

Many have argued that the subject should be taught in the home, and in a perfect world it would be. That simply isn’t happening.

Before 2011, legislation to mandate sex education died routinely every time it was introduced. And by law, if a district taught sex education at all, it had to be geared completely toward abstinence.

School districts throughout the state, left to decide for themselves whether or not to implement it, took the road most traveled and kept sex education out of the classroom. It avoids the controversy over who should teach children about the birds and the bees, and it’s cheaper. But with this new law, we are taking the proactive route for a change.

The Starkville school board has already chosen to adopt a program that teaches about contraception in addition to encouraging abstinence. A committee of educators, parents, nurses and community members has recommended Columbus schools do the same.

Let’s not call ourselves enlightened just yet.

We still don’t want to say the S-word. We’re calling it abstinence-plus or abstinence-only instead.

Whatever you call it, we need comprehensive sex education in Mississippi classrooms.

And as school districts decide on the abstinence-only or abstinence-plus curriculum, we’d like to see them realize what the rest of us already have: Simply preaching abstinence isn’t working.

— The Commercial Dispatch, Columbus

Two-year colleges’ funding inadequate Mississippi education is on the ropes when it comes to funding, after three years of steep cuts — and it’s possible some elements may soon start to falter.

Two-year colleges are hurting the worst.

That’s the message of Eric Clark, executive director of the state Community College Board ...

Speaking with The Clarion-Ledger editorial board, Clark noted that in 2007 the Legislature approved the Mid-Level Funding Act that was signed into law by Gov. Haley Barbour.

It provides a funding formula on a perstudent basis that is halfway between perstudent funding for K-12 and the regional universities of Delta State, Valley State, Mississippi University for Women and Alcorn State.

This law, Clark notes, “has exactly the same legal status as the Mississippi Adequate Education Program,” which is the state’s funding obligation for public schools K-12.

Yet, not only has the state failed to adequately fund K-12 schools, it also has failed even more proportionally to fund the state’s junior and community colleges.

And that level of state support is declining, Clark notes. The percentage below mid-level funding has widened ...

As Clark notes, these severe cuts have come during a serious economic downturn that actually is swelling enrollments, putting a squeeze on schools. ...

Two-year colleges, which are the gateway for thousands of Mississippians to affordably improve their lot through workforce training, vocational skills and even high school GED training, may be faced with having to start turning students away if the funding trend continues.

In the Legislature, many who were elected in November touted the fact that they were supporters of economic development. But if the state starts underfunding K-12 and twoyear colleges so that tuitions are out of reach for all but the most affluent, then economic development is only an empty catch phrase.

Education is the key to Mississippi’s advancement. State officials are good about saying that, but not so good about following through where it means something.

Education must be better funded. Achieving levels set out as basic standards in state law would be a good start.

— The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson

Is Barack Obama’s America God’s country?

The political beliefs of Barack Obama, said Rick Santorum recently, come out of “some phony theology. ... Not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology, but no less a theology.”

Given the opportunity on “Face the Nation” to amend his remarks, Santorum declined the offer and plunged on: “I don’t question the president’s faith. I’ve repeatedly said that I believe the president is a Christian. He says he is a Christian. I am talking about his worldview and the way he approaches problems in this country. ...

They’re different than how most people do in America.”

Obama’s surrogates on the Sunday shows charged Santorum with questioning the president’s faith.

Not exactly. What Santorum is saying is that in the struggle for the soul of America, though Obama may profess to be, and may be, a Christian, he is leading the anti-Christian forces of what Pope Benedict XVI has called “radical secularism.”

In Plano, Texas, Santorum was even more explicit: “They (the Obamaites) are taking faith and crushing it. Why? Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights, then what’s left is the French Revolution. ...

What’s left in France became the guillotine.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a long way from

that, but if we ... follow the path of President Obama and his overt hostility to faith Pat in America, then we are Buchanan headed down Columnist that road.”

Santorum is saying that where Thomas Jefferson attributed our human equality and our right to life and liberty to a Creator, secularism sees no authority higher than the state. But what the state gives, the state can take away.

The media think Santorum is singing “Onward Christian Soldiers” while heading off into the fever swamps. But Santorum is wagering his political future on his assessment of where we are in 2012. He sees America dividing ever more deeply between those who hold to traditional Christian views on marriage, life and morality, and those who have abandoned such beliefs. He believes the former remain America’s silent majority, and he is offering himself as their champion against a militant secularism that has lately angered more than just the right.

Santorum has declared that radical environmentalism is also rooted in this same anti-Biblical view of mankind’s purpose here on earth.

“I think that a lot of radical environmentalists have it backwards. This idea that

man is here to serve the earth as opposed to husband its resources and be good stewards of the earth.

Man is here to use the resources and use them wisely, but man is not here to serve the earth.”

This is straight out of Genesis: “Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Santorum seems to want to steer his primary and general election campaign into a conflict that goes back deep into American history and has surfaced time and again.

An early triumph of secularism came with the Scopes trial in 1923 in Dayton, Tenn. Clarence Darrow, defending a teacher who had violated state law by introducing Darwin’s theory of evolution into the classroom, mocked the Old Testament teachings of the Evangelical Christians, to the merriment of the establishment.

From that day on, Darwinism was taught in our schools, first as theory, then as fact, then as higher truth.

With the Darwinian tenet — we evolved, we were not created — established truth in the public schools, secularism set about driving its enemy, Christianity, out completely.

Under the Warren Court in the 1950s and 1960s, it succeeded.

All Christian commandments, holidays, prayers, pageants and plays were gone. Where Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter had declared that America is a Christian nation, Obama has declared, “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation,” but rather a nation of all faiths.

Santorum is undeniably taking an immense gamble here.

First, he is wagering that by emphasizing his moral, social and cultural conservatism, he can trump Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital jobcreator card.

Second, he is wagering that Obama, with his latest attempt to impose secular values on Catholic institutions, can be portrayed as possessed of an “overt hostility to faith in America.”

Third, he is wagering that he has the rhetorical and political skills to make this case to the nation through the prism of a hostile media.

Fourth, he is betting that these issues are also the concern of a plurality of Americans in a country far different from the one he grew up in.

Finally, Santorum is betting that Americans still believe this is God’s country, that America’s laws should reflect his Law, and that they will elevate to the presidency a man who presents himself as the instrument to carry out God’s will.

News media release hounds on Rick Santorum The media have unleashed the hounds on Rick Santorum.

He was last seen a step ahead of the braying pack, trying to explain that he hadn’t accused President Barack Obama of being a crypto-Muslim. The former Pennsylvania senator criticized the president’s environmentalism as representative of a “phony theology.”

The press snipped the remark out of the context and played it as Santorum donning Grand Inquisitor garb and reading the president of the United States out of the Christian faith.

This followed immediately upon an ill-considered joke by Santorum backer Foster Friess about aspirin as a contraceptive that drove a couple of days of coverage insinuating the comment told us something important about Santorum’s own views.

Santorum is a standing affront to the sensibilities and assumptions of the media and political elite. That elite is constantly writing

the obituary for social conservatism, which is supposed to wither away and leave a polite, undisRich turbed conLowery sensus in faNational vor of social Review liberalism.

Santorum not only defends beliefs that are looked down upon as dated and unrealistic, he does it with a passionate sincerity that opens him to mockery and attack.

If Santorum had the social views of a Barbara Boxer, he would be hailed in all the glossy magazines as a political virtuoso. He has fought a front-runner with all the advantages to a jump ball in Michigan. His aides can’t provide advance texts of his speeches because he always extemporizes and speaks from a few notes. He is dogged, willing to lose on behalf of what he believes and committed to trying to convince others of his posi-

tions.

In the wake of his surprise showing in the Iowa caucuses, news coverage focused on Santorum arguing about gay marriage with college kids at his New Hampshire events. It was taken as a sign of his monomania. Yet he genuinely — if naively — wanted to convince them.

Although his critics will never credit him for it, Santorum’s social conservatism brings with it an unstinting devotion to human dignity, a touchstone for the former senator. The latest position for which he’s taking incoming is his opposition to a government mandate for insurance coverage of prenatal testing often used to identify handicapped babies who are subsequently aborted. For his detractors, his respect for the disabled is trumped by his unforgivable opposition to abortion.

As Jeffrey Bell, author of the new book “The Case for Polarized Politics,” notes in a Wall Street Journal interview, Santorum’s style

of social conservatism is deeply American. No other Western country saw the rise of such a social-conservative movement after the social upheaval of the 1960s. Bell traces American social conservatism back ultimately to the God-given natural rights enunciated in the Declaration of Independence. Sure enough, Santorum is given to quoting the Declaration.

That won’t stop Santorum-haters from portraying him as threateningly unAmerica. He can play into the negative image of him.

In one interview last year, he said that as president he would warn people of the dangers of contraception, a task better suited to a youth minister or Catholic premarital counselor than the leader of the free world.

Santorum occasionally needs to curb his enthusiasms. But the implicit message of his candidacy is unassailable: Denounce and dismiss it as you please, American social conservatism is here to stay.

State

5 storm shelters meet FEMA standards

were finished in January and together cost around $5.5 million.

Funding came from federal and state emergency management agencies. Construction on the shelters began two years ago.

Communities across south Mississippi began building such shelters after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.

James said each shelter meets FEMA 361 requirements. Included in the requirement the shelters were built to withstand winds of 200 mph. They include restrooms, heating and air conditioning and are selfsustaining. “They have complete generator power and back up water and sewer,� James said. “This is something that we knew we needed especially after Katrina. We had a lack of safe shelters.�

Three of the shelters are 5,000 square feet, one is 3,300 square feet and another is 1,800 square feet, James said.

The shelters are located at: Perkinston Elementary, Stone Elementary, Stone Middle School, Stone High School and one at 1084 Project Road in Wiggins. Â

WIGGINS — Stone County now has five storm shelters that meet Federal Emergency Management Agency safety standards.

Local officials held a ribbon cutting for two shelters this week.

Stone County Emergency Management Director Raven James tells WLOX-TV the shelters

VICKSBURG — A Memphis accounting firm has been hired to complete the city of Vicksburg’s 2009 and 2010 audits.

Mayor Paul Winfield tells the Vicksburg Post the decision was made because the audits need to get done.

He says Booker T.

Lawmakers consider abortion restrictions JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers are considering bills this year to put new restrictions on abortion, including one requiring a physician to do a sonogram before performing the procedure.

The pregnant woman wouldn’t be required to view the sonogram, but House Bill 1107 says she’d have the option. It also says she’d have the option of hearing a fetal heartbeat.

Legislators are also proposing constitutional amendments similar to a ballot initiative defeated by 58 percent of voters last November.

The defeated “personhood� amendment would’ve declared life begins at fertilization, but critics said it could limit in-vitro fertilization or ban some birth control.

House Concurrent Resolution 61 would define life as beginning at conception. The resolution says it shall not be interpreted to ban in-vitro fertilization or contraceptives “that do not kill a person.â€? Â

Vicksburg hires help for audits

Camper Jr. firm will do the audits for $91,600.

The city also must complete the audits 2009 and 2010 by May 31 — a date agreed to with the state auditor’s office. The auditor’s office had notified the city that it was behind on completing the required 2009 and 2010 reports.

The delay in completing the audits has prevented the city from receiving a $1.6 million reimbursement from the Mississippi Department of Transportation for the renovation of the old Levee Street Depot. Â

Student body leader elected at Ole Miss OXFORD — Kimberly Dandridge, a junior journalism major from Memphis, has been elected Associated Student Body president at the University of Mississippi.

She is the first black woman elected to the office.

Dandridge got 52.7 percent of the votes to defeat Kegan Coleman.

Dandridge has been president of the Black Student Union and has been active in Ole Miss Gospel Choir and other student organizations, including the ASB, where she has served as director of communications.

Coleman is a junior public policy leadership major from Calhoun City. Â

Luvata expands in Grenada GRENADA — Luvata has announced an expansion of its plant in Grenada that will create 20 new jobs.

The company says in a release that the expansion at the Grenada Air Industrial Park represents an investment of over $1 million.

This latest expansion marks the company’s second in Grenada in under a year. In August 2011, Luvata expanded operations at its aluminum production plant, also with the goal of capturing new opportunities in the marketplace. That project was a $1 million company investment, as well.

The Mississippi Development Authority provided help for the project. Grenada County also provided assistance for improvements to the facility. Â

USPS closes 4 mail centers JACKSON — The U.S. Postal Service says it will close four mail processing centers in Mississippi.

The Postal Service made the announcement Thursday. Chief Operating Officer Megan Brennan says consolidating postal operations is necessary to keep the Postal Service afloat.

The mail processing services in Tupelo will be transferred to a facility in Memphis.

Mail processing operations in Grenada will move to Jackson.

All mail processing operations in Gulfport and Hattiesburg will move to Mobile, Ala. No specific dates have been set for the facilities to close.

The Postal Service says it’s experienced a

25 percent decline in first-class mail since 2006. Â

Ex-chief to fight for job after prank JACKSON — A former Mississippi police chief will fight to get his job back after being fired over a video purportedly showing city employees encouraging a mentally disabled man to eat a mouthful of cinnamon as a prank, his lawyer said Thursday.

Attorney Carlos Moore said he’s representing former Tutwiler Police Chief Terry Tyler and that they have asked town officials for an appeal hearing. Tyler claims the “Cinnamon Challenge� was already happening when he arrived and he pointed the man to a water fountain.

The video shows a woman pouring cinnamon into 18-year-old Ted Martin’s mouth while people cheered. Martin holds the cinnamon in his mouth for a few seconds before coughing out a plume of the spice and running to a water fountain and then a restroom, apparently gagging. The video was taken at City Hall by one of the officers and posted on YouTube, though it has since been taken down.

The “Cinnamon Challenge� is a prank in which people try to swallow the spice without water.

It dries the mouth and usually causes them to cough and spit. There are thousands of videos on the Internet that show people trying it.

The Tutwiler Board of Alderman voted Feb. 14 to fire Tyler, two officers,

the town clerk and a court clerk.

Moore said Tyler had been in the building earlier in the day and heard his police officers talking about taking the challenge themselves and Martin volunteered to do it. Tyler left to handle police business and when he returned, Martin had already put the cinnamon in his mouth, Moore said. “He directed Ted to get some water,� Moore said.

Moore said the town attorney verified Thursday that she had received his request for an appeal hearing.

Moore said the attorney told him the board will discuss the matter at its regularly scheduled March 6 meeting and decide if and when an appeal hearing might take place. “Hopefully he will be reinstated and we can avoid a wrongful termination lawsuit,� Moore said. “My client was not given due process.�

The town attorney, Renetha Frieson, did not immediately respond to a message. Mayor Genether Miller-Spurlock has not responded to numerous messages since news of the firings were made public last week.

Medicare anti-fraud effort disappoints lawmakers

BY KELLI KENNEDY AND RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Launched last summer, a $77 million computer system to stop Medicare fraud before it happens had prevented just one suspicious payment by Christmas. That saved taxpayers exactly $7,591.

Hoping for much better results, a disappointed Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., says, “I wondered, did they leave out some zeros?”

Lawmakers had expected the system to finally allow Medicare to stanch a $60-billion-a-year fraud hemorrhage. Now they’re worried about its future performance.

Medicare officials say it’s unfair to grade the new technology on a single statistic.

“Suspending payments is only one way of stopping the money,” says Ted Doolittle, deputy director of Medicare’s anti-fraud program. “There’s lots of ways of stopping the money, and we are using them all. Looking at payment suspensions only — that’s an unsophisticated view that doesn’t give you a full picture of our activities.”

When other benefits of the system are taken into account, such as cases referred to investigators and changes to payment software that result in au-

tomatic denial of suspect claims, the potential savings in the first six months of operation easily exceed $20 million, Medicare officials indicated in a Jan. 27 letter to Carper. However, officials now acknowledge they don’t know how much of that money has actually been recovered.

Other experts point out that the mission of the new system was to stop bogus payments before they leave the Treasury’s coffers, ending what’s known as “pay and chase,” where the agency automatically pays claims, even suspicious ones, and then reviews them weeks after the fact.

That can be a self-defeating way to do business. Law enforcement is usually several steps behind the fraudsters, who sometimes manage to flee the country with millions plundered from the government. The new computer system was meant to elevate Medicare’s game, putting it in the same league as major credit card companies that can freeze accounts proactively.

“The whole idea for creating this technology was they were going to be able to end pay-and-chase,” said Hank Walther, former head of the Justice Department’s health care fraud division. “But we haven’t yet seen evidence of its success.”

Medicare has “got to explain to us clearly that they are implementing the program, that their goals are well-established, reasonable, achievable, and they’re making progress,” added Carper, chairman of a subcommittee that oversees federal financial management. “We’re not sure if they’ve done those things.”

Medicare has been a highly sensitive political issue for the Obama administration since Democrats lost the House in 2010 partly due to a backlash from seniors over program cuts to help finance the president’s health care overhaul. Since then, top officials have emphasized the administration’s stewardship of Medicare, touting better benefits, prescription savings, manageable premiums — and an all-out campaign against fraud.

Just last week, at a news conference to announce a record $4 billion in fraud recoveries last year, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius heaped praise on the new computer technology.

“Now, just as your credit card company freezes your account when it’s used to buy 10 flat-screen TVs in stores around the country, we have the technology to stop suspicious claims payments before they’re sent out,” she said.

Tornado season looms, but forecasting one is a challenge

BY SETH BORENSTEIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Tornado season is starting, but don’t ask meteorologists how bad it will be this spring and summer.

They don’t know. They’re having a hard enough time getting a fix on the likely path of storms expected in the next 48 hours, from the Ohio Valley to the Southeast coast.

The very nature of torna-

does makes them the wildcard of weather disasters.

It’s just hard to figure when and where they’ll appear.

If funnel clouds do develop by week’s end, a real possibility, they won’t be the first. In January two people were killed by separate twisters in Alabama.

Preliminary reports showed 95 tornadoes struck last month, compared with 16 in January 2011, a particularly stormy year.

Phentermine & Mic Shots also Available

The season usually starts in March and then ramps up for the next couple of months, but forecasting a seasonal outlook is even more imprecise than predicting hurricane seasons.

Tornadoes are too small and too short-lived. They don’t develop like blizzards and hurricanes, which are easier to project.

They pop in and pop out. The storms that give them birth may last only a few hours. Hurricanes and blizzards are lumbering beasts that spend days moving across the satellite maps. When a hurricane approaches, coastlines get days to evacuate. With a tornado, if the weather service can let people know 20 minutes in advance, it’s considered a victory.

“The Joplin (Mo.) tornado (that killed 158 people last May) wasn’t violent until just about the time it got to the hospital,” said Harold Brooks, a research scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Severe Storms Laboratory, in Norman, Okla. “Even when you’re in the field, there are still times when you’re surprised by the intensity of the event and how quickly it started.”

“The Joplin (Mo.) tornado (that killed 158 people last May) wasn’t violent until just about the time it got to the hospital. Even when you’re in the field, there are still times when you’re surprised by the intensity of the event and how quickly it started.”

Harold Brooks Research Scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla. cane or blizzard is off by a mile, it’s still bad weather.

But a mile difference means no damage in a tornado, Brooks said: “It’s so much finer in time and space on the tornado, it does make it a harder problem.”

It takes a piece of debris only a few seconds to fly around an entire tornado; it takes hours to circle a hurricane. Yet tornadoes, though smaller, can have stronger winds. Since 1950, there have been 58 tornadoes in the United States with winds exceeding 200 mph; six last year alone.

Only three hurricanes have made U.S. landfall with winds more than 155 mph.

And forecasters are telling the Southeast and Midwest to get ready again.

“It looks like this week we’re moving into a slightly more active dynamic pattern,” said warning meteorologist Greg Carbin at the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center,

also in Norman, Okla.

The percolating Ohio Valley/Southeastern storm is proof of how hard meteorologists have it. On Tuesday evening, Carbin said, “We’re kind of expecting it to be a fairly significant event” and the storm center’s website had a small red swath for potential severe storms with tornadoes.

By Wednesday afternoon, the storm prediction center massively expanded its Thursday watch area to include 14 states from Florida to Indiana. By Thursday afternoon, it was down to mostly Kentucky and Tennessee with parts of neighboring states.

“A lot of things have to come together at once to have a tornadic storm and the skill at forecasting all those things is near zero,” said Howard Bluestein, a professor at the University of Oklahoma. “They are definitely more unpredictable.”

All this comes on the heels of one of the worst tornado years in U.S. history. Tornadoes in 2011 started the earliest ever — New Year’s Day — killing 550 people, injuring 5,400 and causing $10 billion in damage over the year, the most in U.S. history. The 2011 season had the most tornadoes in a single day and a single month on record.

But if you ask tornado experts what that means for this year, they’ll answer that they just don’t know.

Some meteorologists mention La Nina, the flip side of El Nino, as an indicator. It’s a cooling of the central Pacific Ocean. Scientists have noticed a correlation between strong La Ninas and active tornado seasons — including last year. But it’s not that simple or clear-cut, Columbia University professor Michael Tippett said. The current La Nina is weakening so much it shouldn’t be a factor this year, several experts said.

Tippett has a new study that gives some hope, pointing out potential factors — vertical wind shear, updraft and a type of rainfall — that might help for long-range tornado forecasts.

Later this summer, meteorologists will meet in a special conference to try to figure out how to do that type of longer-term tornado prediction. And the National Weather Service is installing new radar for live forecasting, tracking and distinguishing of tornadoes that could save lives in real-time because forecasters can be more certain in their warnings, said National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Schlatter.

All those elements together mean that maybe by 2020 or so, meteorologists will be able to say watch out this season or relax a bit — but not just yet, said federal researcher Brooks.

Penney’s new-look

Newmont’s earnings

New CEO Ron Johnson has only been at J.C. Penney since November, but he has made it clear that he seeks to transform every aspect of the retailer’s business.

The company reports fourth-quarter results today, and it should become apparent if the former Apple executive's strategy helped woo holiday shoppers.

Newmont Mining, one of the world's biggest gold producers, reports fourthquarter results today.

The company has benefited from rising gold prices, which hit a high for the year on Wednesday.

But its preliminary figures for the quarter show the company's gold and copper production declined versus a year ago.

Arbitrator backs Braun’s protest The Associated Press

NEW YORK— National League MVP Ryan Braun’s 50-game suspension was overturned Thursday by baseball arbitrator Shyam Das, the first time a baseball player successfully challenged a drug-related penalty in a grievance.

The decision was announced Thursday by the Major League Baseball Players Association, one day before the 28-year-old outfielder was due to report to spring training with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Braun’s urine tested positive in October for elevated testosterone, and ESPN revealed the positive test in December.

Braun has insisted that he did not violate baseball’s drug agreement.

“I am very pleased and relieved by today’s decision,” he said in a statement. “It is the first step in restoring my good name and reputation.

We were able to get through this because I am innocent and the truth is on our side.”

MLB executive vice president Rob Manfred said man-

agement “vehemently disagrees” with Das’ decision.

Das, who has been baseball’s independent arbitrator since 2000, informed the sides of his decision, but did not give them a written opinion. He has 30 days to do so.

“Today the arbitration panel announced its decision, by a 2-1 vote, to sustain Ryan Braun’s grievance challenging his 50-game suspension by the commissioner’s office,” a statement from the players’ association said.

Manfred and union head Michael Weiner are part of

the arbitration panel, and management and the union almost always split their votes, leaving Das, the independent panel member, to make the decision.

“MLB and cable sports tried to sully the reputation of an innocent man,” Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on Twitter. “Picked the wrong guy to mess with. Truth will set u free” Brewers closer John Axford added on Twitter: “All I Please see BRAUN | 9A

Tennessee extends Ole Miss losing streak The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Earlier in the season, a big deficit might have spelled disaster for Tennessee. Now that the Volunteers have had a chance to absorb coach Cuonzo Martin’s unflappable attitude, it’s nothing more than a challenge to overcome.

Tennessee fought back from a 13-point deficit to beat Mississippi 73-60 on Wednesday night to hang on to a share of fourth place in the Southeastern Conference with three games left in the regular season.

“I think we’re very poised,” Tennessee forward Jeronne Maymon said. “We try to be just like our coach out there on the floor. His demeanor never changes, whether we win or lose or whether we’re up or down. We just try to be like him.”

After a slow start by the Vols (15-13, 7-6), Maymon had little trouble channeling

Martin, scoring 18 points and grabbing 11 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season.

Tennessee started the second half down 31-30. Layups

by Maymon and Trae Golden and a 3 by Cameron Tatum early in the second half added up to a 7-0 run that gave Tennessee its ultimate lead.

Jordan McRae came off the bench to add 16 points, including a highlight-worthy dunk that gave Tennessee a 47-37 lead with 11:20 to play. Demarco Cox answered with a layup at the other end, but the Rebels (15-12, 5-8) wouldn’t get any closer.

“We just settled down and made plays,” Martin said.

“It’s just one of those things we consistently work at and continue to get better at every day. I thought we did a good job in the second half of defending as a team with them passing, cutting and moving.”

Golden scored 11 points

and Tatum and Dwight Miller both added 10 for the Vols, who committed just 10 total fouls and went 17 for 21 from the free-throw line in the second half alone. The Rebels shot 7 for 12 from the line for the whole game.

Ole Miss and Tennessee entered the game first and second respectively in rebounding in SEC play, but the Volunteers outrebounded the Rebels 40-28 and outscored them in the paint 36-28.

“They just dominated us block to block,” Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy said.

“They killed us on the glass, which has become a reoccurring theme. They finish everything at point-blank range. We didn’t play through contact as strong as we needed to. They outscore us by 11 points on the free throw line, and hence the difference in the game.”

Terrance Henry had 15 points to lead the Rebels, who

have lost three in a row. Murphy Holloway scored 13 before fouling out of the game with 3:28 to play, and Nick Williams added 11 points.

The Vols struggled early against Mississippi’s zone defense and hit just one of their first eight shots. The Rebels hit seven of their first eight during the stretch to grab a 15-2 lead with 13:51 before halftime before cooling off.

Tennessee started attacking the paint more and answered with a 19-2 run that gave it a 21-17 lead with 6:07 in the first half. Seven of those points came from Miller, who only recently found himself back in the Volunteers’ rotation with the indefinite suspension of Kenny Hall on Feb. 15.

Entering the game, Tennessee and Ole Miss were among six teams either tied or separated by one game in the fourth through nine slots in the conference standings.

Hanson back in Braves’ camp, bruised but better The Associated Press

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Coming off a shoulder injury and breaking in a new delivery, Tommy Hanson was looking for a smooth start to spring training.

Instead, he wound up with a wrecked car and a knock to the head.

Hanson was back in camp Thursday with the Atlanta Braves, feeling much better after a scary accident on his way to the opening workout for pitchers and catchers left him with a concussion.

“It could have been a lot

worse,” Hanson said, sharing details of the wreck for the first time. “I’m alive. I’m good. I’m healthy. There’s nothing wrong. I didn’t break anything. I just kind of rattled my head a little bit. I’m trying to look at the positives.”

Hanson, who went 11-7 with a 3.60 ERA last season, is one of baseball’s most promising young pitchers but already figured to get plenty of scrutiny during spring training. The right-hander worked hard to come back from an ailing shoulder that limited him to 22 starts, and

he made a slight change in his pitching motion — smoothing out a pause just before he releases the ball — in hopes of improving his delivery.

Then, on his way to the Braves’ Disney World complex early Monday morning, Hanson’s car suddenly blew a tire as he was making a left turn. He skidded off the highway, down an embankment and across a grassy field before the vehicle finally came to a stop. He was tossed around violently during the rough ride, winding up with a concussion and several bruis-

es even though he was wearing his seatbelt.

“I don’t remember how I hit my head or what I hit my head on,” Hanson said “I just tried to get my car to come to a stop.”

At first, the 25-year-old Hanson didn’t realize he was injured. He stepped on the gas and managed to get his mangled car back to the side of the road. From there, he called for a tow truck, which loaded up his vehicle and gave him a lift to the stadium.

A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that, after being informed of the positive result, Braun asked to have another urine test taken, and that the second test was within normal range.

During the hearing, Braunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side challenged the chain of custody from the time the urine sample was collected by Comprehensive Drug Testing Inc. to when it was sent nearly 48 hours later to a World Anti-Doping Agency-certified laboratory in Montreal, the person said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because what took place in the hearing is supposed to be confidential.

Baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug agreement states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;absent unusual circumstances, the specimens should be sent by FedEx to the laboratory on the same day they are collected.â&#x20AC;?

Positive tests for performanceenhancing drugs have been relatively rare under the major league testing program, with just two others in 2011: Tampa Bay outfielder Manny Ramirez and Colorado Rockies catcher Eliezer Alfonzo. Ramirez at first retired rather than face a 100game suspension for a second positive test.

HANSON: Line of info goes here CONTINUED FROM 8A

But once he arrived, the trainers realized Hanson wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t himself.

They sent him to a doctor, who diagnosed a mild concussion.

Hanson skipped the first three days of camp, trying to get over the telltale symptoms of his injury: a throbbing headache and bouts of nausea that made it impossible for him to eat. When he awoke Thursday after finally getting a good night of sleep, the headache was gone. Hanson was still sore from bruises to his ribs and left shoulder, apparently caused by his seat belt, but otherwise feels like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost back to normal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this gets behind

The 6-foot-8 freshman guard was injured late in the first half of Mississippi Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 73-64 loss to No. 1 Kentucky while fighting for position on a rebound. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to the game, watching from the bench in the second half.

Though there is no structural damage to the knee, no return date has been set, according to

Hanson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely frustrating. But it could have been a lot worse. Thank God it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Hopefully I just miss a couple of more days, then I can be out there with the guys again.â&#x20AC;?

Under strict guidelines that teams have for dealing with concussions, Hanson underwent testing in the minor leagues to establish his normal baseline.

He took another test Thursday to determine if there are any lingering problems.

Cooper helps Alabama get past Arkansas The Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alabama keeps finding ways to keep itself in the NCAA tournament picture, suspensions or no suspensions.

Rodney Cooper scored 17 points Thursday night as depleted Crimson Tide held on for a 79-68 win at Arkansas.

The win is the second straight for the Crimson Tide, which played without leading scorers JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell for the fourth straight game due to suspensions.

Alabama (18-9, 7-6 Southeastern Conference) trailed 39-35 late in the first half before going on a 19-2 run to go up 54-41. It then was able to fight off a late run by the Razorbacks.

Andrew Steele scored 15 points for the Crimson Tide,

while Nick Jacobs and Trevor Releford had 14 each.

The loss for the Razorbacks (17-11, 5-8) is their second straight at home after opening the season 17-0 in Bud Walton Arena. BJ Young led Arkansas with 21 points and five assists.

Alabama lost its first two games without Green and Mitchell, falling at LSU and at home to No. 12 Florida. However, the Crimson Tide bounced back in its last game, a 62-50 win over Tennessee last Saturday.

Green was reinstated earlier this week, but Alabama coach Anthony Grant elected to keep the senior out at least one more game. Making matters worse in the first half against the Razorbacks, freshman Trevor Lacey went to the bench with a leg injury after scoring eight early

points.

Arkansas appeared as though it was ready to take advantage of the missing Alabama pieces early, taking a 33-21 lead after Julysses Noblesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second 3-pointer of the half. The Razorbacks opened the game by hitting their first six 3-pointers, including 3 of 3 by Young, and were 8 of 11 from behind the arc in the first half.

The freshman, who scored a career-high 31 points in Arkansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season-worst 98-68 loss to Florida the last time out, hit his first four shots against the Crimson Tide and scored 17 points in the first half.

However, after Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth 3-pointer of the half put the Razorbacks up 37-31, Arkansas went 9:13 without a field goal.

Alabama was more than ready

to pounce.

The Crimson Tide trailed 3935 before closing the half on a 10-2 run. It then opened the second half on a 9-0 run, capped by a drive and basket by Cooper â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who finished in double figures for only the third time this season.

By the time Arkansas finally hit another field goal, Mardracus Wadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basket on the fast break, Alabama led 54-43 and had taken control.

The Razorbacks closed to within 71-66 in the closing minutes after a three-point play by Wade, but the Crimson Tide held on late.

Alabama equaled its season high in shooting percentage, hitting 27 of 49 (55.1 percent) from the field. The Crimson Tide went 6 of 11 on 3-pointers.

STARKVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An evaluation on Wednesday revealed Mississippi Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rodney Hood has a deep bone bruise in his left knee.

The 6-foot-8 freshman guard was injured late in the first half of Mississippi Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 73-64 loss to No. 1 Kentucky while fighting for position on a rebound. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to the game, watching from the bench in the second half. Though there is no structural damage to the knee, no return date has been set, according to an MSU spokesman.

Is your faith strong or are you a Sunday hypocrite?

In today’s society we see people or groups of people that are becoming more and more like the Israelites that followed Moses out of Egypt.

Each day you will encounter someone in the business world, through recreational activity or maybe friendly conversation or someone you attend church with, who you have high regards for because of their faith in Jesus Christ.

These people are like magnets.

Many are drawn closer because of their want and desire to

Gary Andrews Devotionals

be more like them.

M a n y will be repelled f r o m t h e m because they are h a p p y with their worldly living and

attitudes.

Then there are the people who may be lukewarm to what Christ would have them to do.

havior with pleasing smiles and seemingly genuine attitudes. During the week you may encounter this person on the job or through various activities and see an entirely different output.

These people either have or say they have had a salvation experience through Jesus Christ. If their experience is true and they continually act one way on Sunday and around the church buildings, and be totally different on their jobs or their weekly routines, then they may be believ-

ers without trust. This is called a hypocritical standard and the world has many of these walking the earth today.

This is what happened to the Israelites as they came out of Egypt going toward the promised land. God became displeased with them because of their lack of faithfulness and allowed them to wander in the wilderness for 40 years.

In His anger with them He swore, “They will not enter My rest.” (Hebrews Please see SUNDAY | 3B

Wall is man who loves his work (Nelson Wall, Northeast at Corinth’s director, grew up right up the road from my family in the Rock Hill community.

The third son of Ulysses and Onie Wall, he was a farm boy who loved the outdoors. The following continues his story from last week.)

While talking with Nelson the other day, I asked about his high school ring and a story my mother told me about three silver dollars I had been given when I was born.

Nelson explained that during an ice storm earlier that year, several trees had fallen near their house. Mrs. Onie told him he could have the money from the timber for school expenses if he would cut the trees up and get someone to haul them. My oldest brother, Leon, agreed to help with the sawing.

When Nelson and Leon were discussing the trees, Nelson mentioned he needed to pay his ring deposit of three dollars but didn’t have the money

yet. Mama naturally wanted to help, and having no money in house Lora Ann the except my Huff silver dollars, she Back Porch gave them to him. … So when Nelson finished with the timber, paid the hauler and my brother, he had $103 left.

He paid my mother back with three one-dollar bills and had the only hundred dollar bill he had ever seen, left to finish paying for his $12.75 ring and graduation expenses.

Maybe experiences like the one I just mentioned were why Nelson got such a joy out of going through the community and offering summer jobs to juniors and seniors. He knew they needed money for upcoming expenses -as well as the work experience.

ried to Ann Hutchins since Sept. 11, 1954. He served in the U.S. Army from 1954 to 1956. The couple has one son, David, born in 1957.

Ann worked at ITT and sent Nelson to college and has been by his side for 58 years, encouraging and supporting him all the way.

He attended Northeast Junior College and Mississippi State University, earning a BS degree in 1960, his MS degree in 1964 and Advanced Certification in 1967.

Wall says he has never forgotten what his grandmother told him when he showed her and his mother his diploma from State. She said, “Nelson, with a little bit o’ knowledge and a lot o’ common sense, you can go far, but with a lot o’ knowledge and no common sense, you won’t amount to much.”

After getting his bachelor’s, Nelson lined up a teaching job in Alcorn County, but Mr. Bratton Burgess, county superintendent at the time, told him the folks at Holly School needed a principal and wanted to talk with him.

“Why, Mr. Burgess, I don’t know anything about being a principal,” Nelson explained.

“You can do it, Nelson. Anybody can do it,” Burgess replied. “Just go talk to Lanehart Huff out at Holly.”

So Nelson talked with the Holly trustee (a long time before Mr. Huff became my father-inlaw), and he scheduled a meeting that ended with Nelson getting the job as principal of Holly School in 1960 with a grand annual salary of $2,250 plus $500 extra for being principal. He was also furnished a house

with paid utilities.

In 1961 Nelson went to Kossuth as assistant principal and then to Oakland in 1962. Alcorn Central welcomed him in the fall of 1966 where he remained until June 1981.

The next 12 years were spent serving as superintendent of schools in Arkansas. In 1992 Wall came back home and served as Dean of Community Services at Northeast until 2002 before taking over as director of Northeast at Corinth.

With 51 years invested in education, it would be hard to estimate the number of young lives Mr. Wall has touched.

Whether he was disciplining, teaching, counseling, or mentoring, the students knew he had their best interest at heart. Today he continues to assist young adults in furthering their education, finding a job, and becoming productive citizens in their communities.

Nelson Wall loves his work. He constantly looks forward to the next advancement in technology and the next group of students who may walk through the door at Northeast at Corinth.

Thank you, Mr. Wall, for caring -- and for sharing. Your grandmother would say you have gone far with your knowledge and common sense. You’ve made your family and community proud, and you have been a blessing to countless numbers of folks of all ages. May the Lord continue to bless.

Lies move marriage past repair DEAR ABBY: I have been married to “Roman” for 13 years. He has always been a man of few words who didn’t initiate much on his own, so I stepped up to bat and did everything. I took over all aspects of our married life -- from bill paying to home maintenance to romance. He would tell me how grateful he was to me for doing it.

His adult daughters from a previous marriage have always been cold to me, and I recently found out why. It turns out Roman made up horrible, untrue stories behind my back. He painted himself as the victim of abuse!

His daughters staged an “intervention” to save their dad, and Roman went along with them.

He cleared out our bank

accounts, hid money and assets and filed for divorce.

I was Abigail stunned.

Abby, he Van Buren went along Dear Abby with the charade for a week -- until his guilt got the better of him, and he admitted he had made it all up. He claims he doesn’t want to divorce me after all. He said he made up the stories to get his daughters’ attention.

Roman and I are now going through counseling, and I am assuming responsibility for my part in this mess. He harbors strong resentment toward me and resorted to pas-

sive-aggressive revenge.

We’re both doing our best to establish forthright, honest and open lines of communication.

The problem is his daughters still believe the lies. They hate me and won’t speak to their father unless he divorces me.

I’m not sure what to do.

Roman has lost his family and he may lose me, too.

The damage is so widespread I don’t know what can be regained. Have you any advice for me?

-- OLDER, WISER AND HEARTBROKEN DEAR OLDER, WISER AND HEARTBROKEN: Your letter made me furious. It proves that with your husband no good deed goes unpunished.

Had you not taken on the functions your husband avoided, your credit

would be shot, your house would be a wreck and your sex life nonexistent.

And for this your husband slandered you?

That he would lie to his daughters about you is disgusting. That he then made a money grab and hid assets is appalling.

What have you to gain from continuing this marriage? If I were you, I’d contact a divorce lawyer and a forensic accountant, divide the assets and let the daughters take care of their ingrate of a father.

Horoscopes

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Avoid the person who insists on helping you regardless of whether you need or want them to. Notice how this overly helpful energy feels repellent, and heed the warning in that feeling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know what you know, and you’re not so worried about the rest because you also know where you can find out more if you need to. You show your true intelligence through what you choose to share (and leave out).

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s better to be real about who you are and what you can do (and want to do!) than to try for sainthood. A fallen halo becomes a leash.

Avoid over-promising.

Don’t give anyone a rea-

son to have one up on you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You please people every day, but you’re not a “people pleaser” who sacrifices his or her own joy to satisfy others. It just so happens that when you make yourself happy, others smile, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

“There is no terror in a bang,” said the iconic suspense filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, “only in the anticipation of it.”

May these wise words from a fellow Leo help you stop fretting and move forward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Instead of laboring over a decision, you weigh the pros and cons in an instant. You trust your subconscious mind to pick up the details that you miss with your conscious mind and give each item the proper cre-

dence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Avoid asking, “Do you know what I mean?”

It’s important that you sound incredibly selfassured. The words you choose send a signal to others about what you’re trying to say and how seriously to consider your message.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You eventually will outgrow these conditions that right now feel so much like who you are.

Disassociate yourself from what is happening for a moment, and acknowledge that you’re bigger than this circumstance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One way you can tell that you are fully engaged in life is that when you move, the world naturally adjusts and reacts, making way for you. Notice your

special power today and enjoy it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Take pause from striving. You don’t have to achieve or succeed at anything to be secure in the universe.

You always have a place.

Whether you are feeling it at the moment or not, you fit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). It would be absurd to avoid reading a story because you’re afraid of how it will end.

It is equally absurd not to start a relationship because you don’t know how it will end. Go forward in good faith.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have much to give, and there’s a demanding task just waiting for someone to take charge. Self-confidence and dedication will be required, and you have plenty of both.

SUNDAY: Generation of people know God’s truth but don’t listen CONTINUED FROM 2B

3:11) The writer of Hebrews was telling the Hebrew Christians they were failing to give attention to their salvation and was stagnating in their spiritual growth just as the Israelites did.

Today this is happening again. There are many faithful people, such as Moses was, but the generation is not listening. Is God going to take away another generation

of people who know the truth but does not practice it?

Are you a Sunday Christian only or do you practice and show your faith everyday of the week? Are you the part of the magnet that attracts or are you going to repel people from you because of your lack of faith and hypocritical values?

If you are a member of God’s family, then follow Jesus’ example of faithfulness. Take it everywhere you go and let others see

Jesus in you.

Hebrews 3:12-14 - 12.

“Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God. 13. But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception. 14. For we have become companions of the Messiah if we hold firmly until the end the reality that we had at the start.”

Prayer: Lord, forgive me where I have failed

you and give me strength, wisdom and courage to face the trials of today.

Scholarships offered In keeping with its motto of “Care Today Character Tomorrow,” the Junior Auxiliary of Corinth offers two types of financial aid scholarships to allow local students to pursue their college educations.

The Grant-in-Aid Scholarship, an award of $750, is available to students who demonstrate the potential to achieve, but are financially challenged.

The Glenn Davis Gray Scholarship, an award of $1,000, is available to students who are pursuing a medically related field. Scholarships are not automatically renewed from year to year and students must complete the application process annually in order to be considered for that year’s available scholarships.

All applicants for Junior Auxiliary scholarships must be residents of Alcorn County and must be U.S. citizens. Those eligible to apply include graduating high school seniors, students currently attending college or medical school, and older students returning to college or medical school.

All applicants must plan to attend college or medical school at the institution of their choice during the 2012-2013 school year. The scholarship award selection is based on financial need, academic performance, letters of recommendation, community involvement, and the

applicant’s statement of objectives.

Applications for the Grant-in-Aid and Glenn Davis Gray scholarships are available from all high school guidance counselors and also from the Corinth Public Library and Northeast Mississippi Community College.

Applicants are asked to send three copies of their application to the Junior Auxiliary scholarship chairman. An original copy is kept on file, and all identifying information (applicant’s name, parents’ names, etc.) is removed from the copy that goes to the selection committee.

Applications and letters of recommendation must be postmarked by Feb. 28 and mailed directly to JA Scholarship Chair, 3025 Wynbrooke Drive, Corinth, MS 38834.

The competitive essay contest is open to high school seniors in any of the 16 states served by Regions with the top 25 essays earning $5,000 to attend college. Essay deadline is Feb. 29 and should be 500 words and about an African American -- past or present -- who has inspired the writer.
