Acoustics center celebrates leader’s retirement SLADE RAND

tudents and locals gathered Tuesday for the first Yoknapatawpha Art Crawl of the semester. The art crawl carts participants to several galleries and venues via Ox-

ford’s iconic red double decker bus. Wine and snacks are served at the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. Exhibits at this art crawl included “Dunhuang through the Lens of James and Lucy

Lo” at the University of Mississippi Museum, and Jill Foote-Hutton, “Picture This” at Gallery 130 in the art department, among others.

After more than 20 years as a Rebel, Sara Brown celebrated her retirement Tuesday afternoon at the University’s National Center for Physical Acoustics. As 2 o’clock rolled around, scientists and graduate students at the NCPA took a break from their projects and headed to the building’s lobby where a double chocolate cake reading “Happy Retirement Sara” waited for them. “Working with all these guys over the years I’ve learned one thing,” Brown said. “They all like sweets.” Brown first stepped on campus in fall 1995 as a biology graduate student. Since then she’s earned two master’s degrees in the subject (one from Ole Miss, one from Southern Mississippi) and a Ph.D. in higher educational leadership. She said these two degrees came together when she joined the NCPA in 2001. “Within ‘sustainability’, I was interested in the sustainability of being able to do research, acoustic for example, that uses alternative energy forms as a way of doing work itself,” Brown said.

Law students host drive for victims of tornadoes LYNDY BERRYHILL

thedmnews@gmail.com

A group of law school students are collecting disaster relief items for residents impacted by the tornado in the Hattiesburg area last Saturday. The tornado left four dead and reduced hundreds of homes to rubble. Gregory Alston, Hattiesburg native and Ole Miss Law School Student Body president, traveled to his hometown to help clean up the aftermath. “There’s some people down there that really need

some help,” Alston said. Alston said trees and shredded building material filled yards and streets that had to be cleaned up. That was when he decided to have an outlet for other university students to help. “I just thought that it would be great for all of the law student body to help out during this devastating loss,” Alston said. Although the donation drop off is in the Robert C. Khayat Law building, Alston said donors are not limited to just law school students. “We’re collecting a wide range of things such as personal hygiene items,

but also cleaning supplies, blankets and clothing,” Alston said. The drop-off location is in the law school building’s atrium, which is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with no advance notice necessary. Alston said he plans to take the donations to Hattiesburg after next Friday, but is also considering taking more donations at a later date. “We may keep it going longer,” Alston said.

Smart home technology: useful tool or a vice?

JAMES HALBROOK

thedmopinion@gmail.com

On a recent morning, as I was waking up, I was greeted to a briefing not unlike the one that Jarvis gives in the Iron Man movies. “Today the high will be 50 degrees with a low of 34 degrees, clear with a zero per-

cent chance of rain,” echoed my Google Home. “Today you have thermodynamics at 11:00 a.m.-,” “OK Google, that’s enough!” I sleepily proclaimed. If I had wanted, I could have been woken up to a flashing light display put on by my Philips Hue lights that synchronized with my alarm. Over the break, a good friend of mine demonstrated this to me, but it seems to be a little exuberant (and creepy) for my tastes. It was like waking up in a horror movie ... try sleeping through that. The point is, there is socalled smart technology out there today that can improve productivity and can ensure one sticks to a schedule.

On a more serious note, however, these companies can use all this information about you to market products specifically tailored to you. Google knows that I am taking thermodynamics this semester, so what was the next advertisement when I opened up Google Chrome? A thermodynamics textbook. Once one spoils themselves with these technologies, it kind of starts to snowball. You will find yourself in bed one evening, you just turned the lights off with your iPhone, and you think, “Hmm. It sure would be nice if I could lower the thermostat a couple degrees from here.” Then you order the Nest Thermostat from Amazon Prime. It will be there in two

days. Unbelieveable. Smart technologies do make managing a faster-paced lifestyle a lot easier, but there are certain dangers we need to be aware of. Currently smart tech is only in a handful of homes, but before we know it, it will be the standard. The marketing potential and the sheer knowledge companies can acquire about individuals is staggering, and there needs to be legislature implemented now about the extent to which compiling and sharing this information can extend. It is transforming from an issue of how much benefit can we gain from the use of these items, to the privacy we lose because of them.

The problems can be physical, too. Excessive screen time has been shown to lead to dry spots on the eyes, and eventually, migraines and muscle strain. Too much technology can lead to an “information overload” and take away what should matter most to us, like conversation and family time. Technology, like most things, should be consumed in moderation for personal use. Too much of a good thing can transform into a very bad thing quite easily. James Halbrook is a sophomore chemical engineering major from Brandon.

NEWS BROWN

continued from page 1 Brown said her goal is for the center’s research to come full-circle. Since its creation in 1986, the NCPA has used the resources and brainpower within the University to explore acoustics science and provide research to the federal government. In lieu of acoustic physics classes, the Center contracts graduate students with real-world acoustics projects. “We start with a high risk, high end scientific idea that can end up being used in the general public,” Brown said. NCPA interim director Craig Hickey opened Tuesday’s reception by thanking Brown for her above and beyond administration and friendship. Hickey remembered Brown’s help in getting NCPA’s new research group, Porous Media, off the ground soon after she joined the center. He said their offices were side by side back then. “She saved my butt. And made the transition smooth,” Hickey said. Brown announced her retirement in late 2016, and Hickey said she is leaving the center in great condition. He said administrators will definitely have to work to fill the void behind Brown, however. She was one a small few researchers with over twenty years of tenure. When NCPA Research Administrative Coordinator Latonya Weekly joined staff 14 years ago, she said Brown made an

28736

THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | 25 JANUARY 2017 | PAGE 3 early impression. “She worked in one of the first groups I was involved with, but over the years I formed a real personal relationship with her,” Weekly said. One of Brown’s favorite undertakings of her time at the NCPA was the foundation of the Basic Acoustic Summer School. Named for the late Hank Bass, who led the 1980’s charge to found the NCPA, the BASS school helps introduce Acoustics science to undergraduates. “In memory of him, I came up with the idea for the BASS school,” Brown said. BASS brings in undergraduate students for eight weeks in the summer to complete an acoustics project with a professional researcher. Dr. Josh Gladden thanked Brown on Tuesday for her guidance, protection and help in creating the BASS program. After Gladden and Hickey spoke, Weekly emerged with Brown’s parting gift: a custom-inscribed rocking chair. The Latin words across the chair’s back seem to embody Brown’s attitude towards research and science: “For wisdom and knowledge”. Brown said she already has plans for the rocking chair post-retirement. She said she is looking forward to relaxing back home with her husband, blues guitarist Kenny Brown. Together, the two live on a farm surrounded by Brown’s many animals. “I’ll be sittin’ on my front porch rockin’ on a rockin’ chair,” she smiled.

STORMS

continued from page 1 Stacy Ahua works with the non-profit Extra Table based in Hattiesburg to raise funds for stocking healthy food in local pantries and soup kitchens, she also helped organize the 400-500 volunteers who worked to clean up the city. Ahua said one of the worst things that happens in a disaster situation is for people to forget residents are still trying to recover. “A lot of people don’t have a place to live right now, much less something to eat,” Ahua said. Ahua said people can donate to Extra Table by visiting www.feedms.com and selecting the tornado relief tab. She said people can also donate clothing to United Way in downtown Hattiesburg. Ahua said although grassroots task force Team Hattiesburg helped around 100 estimated families in a 36-hour period, it will take more time, money and support for residents to recover. Chloe Elyse Kennedy, Law School Student Body treasurer, became involved in the relief through Alston. She is currently trying to

spread the word about donating. Kennedy grew up in Alabama where, in the spring of 2010, her hometown was hit by a tornado. The following year, she also saw significant destruction caused by tornados. “As a result of these experiences, the storms in Hat-

tiesburg hit home with me,” Kennedy said. “Because of assistance provided to Alabamians in our time of need, I feel it is imperative to assist Hattiesburg as much as possible, and I encourage everyone to give. Every single donation helps the people of Hattiesburg rebuild their city.”

LIFESTYLES 2017 is finally here! Hopefully it will be better than 2016, and not as many celebrities will die. If you’re curious about your future, check out your 2017 horoscope here. Regular monthly horoscopes will resume the second Wednesday of February.

Aquarius, the Water Bearer: Jan. 20– Feb. 18 This year is going to be tremendous, okay? A terrific year, Aquarius, everyone says so. You will encounter many alternative truths, but they’re going to be great. Probably the best truths. And you’ll never read any more fake news again. This year you’ll also learn how to turn buttons into gold coins, and tonight at midnight, a magical ray of golden light will fall over you, and you will begin to levitate within its magnificent glow. Then, suddenly, light will burst out of you from every orifice, igniting your very soul, and causing your mortal flesh to fall away in a shower of glitter. Then, as you expose your true form to the world of men, a thousand angels will come upon you, wrapping you in a diamond encrusted garment, concealing you once again. They will then help you to return to your regular, mortal body and fly away. As all of this is occurring, “Midnight City” by M83 plays softly in the background.

Pisces, the Fish: Feb. 19- March 20 This year will be good for you spiritually. Around March or April, expect some good news disguised as bad news. You may feel devastated at first, but you will discover you have more inner strength than you know. You’ll also become great at zoning out as the result of several severely awkward conversations in your future. I won’t sugar coat it, Pisces — they will be some of the most painful human interactions you will ever have in your entire life. I’m foreseeing about 12, that is, about once a month. When it happens, you can save your sanity by entering a sort of trance, and mumbling, “Yes, yes, of course, Martin,” every time there is a break in conversation, regardless of what the topic or context of that conversation is.

This year is going to be a year of great discovery for you. You think 2016 was the year of realizing things? Just wait for 2017. Luckily, the things you realize this year will make you richer as a person. Except, one revelation will shock you: At some point this year, you will realize that someone you have been very close to all your life is actually a robot. It will probably happen during the summer time, when you are swimming together and they refuse to get into the water. They will also get mad at you for splashing them. They will need to “recharge their batteries,” and they will be incapable of love. But don’t worry — you can teach them to love by reading poetry to them and whispering love spells into their ears while you stand behind them.

LIFESTYLES

Taurus, the Bull: April 20- May 20 Looks like this is a lucky year for love, Taurus. This summer, I foresee you will fall in love with a sea-plane pilot. They will be devilishly charming and have the most infectious laughter. You’ll have a terrific romance, drink pink champagne by the beach, watch sunsets together and go for many rides in the sea plane. But come autumn, your sea-plane pilot will leave you for an astronaut. Don’t worry, though. You’ll soon find a new love affair with a charming ranch hand or corporate executive. If you don’t fall in love with a sea-plane pilot then that means you are cursed, and you need to be extra nice to your local campus psychic.

Gemini, the Twins: May 21- June 20 Looks like you’re in for a pretty standard 2017, Gemini. You’ve just ended a significant chapter of your life, but the one ahead looks promising. Take time to focus on yourself, work on relationships with loved ones and concentrate on your goals for the future. Also, stay away from the ocean if you can. I have foreseen that if you enter the ocean at any time this year, you will become trapped inside an oyster. You will almost kill the oyster, but the oyster will survive. When you escape the oyster, the oyster will consider you its pearl and spend the rest of its life trying to return to you. You can never go into the ocean again.

Cancer, the Crab: June 21 - July 22 I’m afraid I have seen something terrible in your future, Cancer. Unbeknownst to you, your great-grandfather stole magic oranges from an old Florida witch when he was but a young man. It’s taken her many a year, but come the harvest moon, she will find your family, and she will kidnap your parents and turn them into eggs. When this happens (and it will happen) you can break the spell by smearing grape jelly all over your feet and then putting on a pair of fresh white socks. It’s the only way to save your family. Or if you want to just avoid the whole episode all together, leave an orange outside your front door on the

night of the harvest moon. And remember to save the bees, which are dying at an alarming rate, because without bees we don’t have oranges. outside your front door on the night of the harvest moon. And remember to save the bees, which are dying at an alarming rate, because without bees we don’t have oranges.

Leo, the Lion: July 23 - Aug. 22 This year, many great mysteries will be revealed to you. Struggling with a spiritual crisis? You will learn to find inner peace. Looking for a new significant relationship? You will develop your social skills, develop emotional intelligence and gain confidence when around other people. Want to prepare a better Italian cuisine? You will learn to hear bread. Hearing bread is possibly the most powerful power you can have, and all your friends will be jealous that you can hear bread and they can’t. But be warned: bread loves to tell lies, so don’t believe everything bread says.

Virgo, the Virgin: Aug. 23 - Sep. 22 This is going to be a big year for you, Virgo. You’re going to have to do a lot of growing up, and you’ll have to make some pretty big decisions that are going to impact you for the rest of your life. Take time to really think before you make any big choices, but don’t be afraid to listen to your heart. This year could be the year to take a romantic relationship to the next level, especially around May. Just make sure your partner isn’t a lizard person wearing a human skin suit, because Virgos have a tendency to fall in love with lizard people in disguise. (I know this from personal experience.)

Scorpio, the Scorpion: Oct. 23- Nov. 21 Expect more money this year, Scorpio. Your hard work and dedication is about to pay off, either through a lucky scratch-off ticket, a promotion or raise at work or a family gift. You’ll be the family hero! But remember, wealth won’t come to you if you’re just sitting around, you have to seek it. Like the “Goonies” did. They went out in search of fortune and found it in a matter of hours on a lost pirate ship. The two older ones even got to make out. And Chuck got ice cream! That could be you, if you set your mind to it.

Sagittarius, the Archer: Nov. 22- Dec. 21 You will wake up one morning and realize your whole life has been a dream. You are still only four years old. Have fun going through puberty again.

Capricorn, the Goat:Dec. 22- Jan. 19 This a year of great possibility for you, dear Capricorn. Besides finding the courage to say “why not” and just go for it, you’ll find wild success when you follow your heart. You will achieve your wildest dreams this year, Capricorn. Like that dream you had when you had tentacles for legs and you had to go to the eye doctor to get glasses but the eye doctor was really your old high school chemistry teacher but with David Bowie’s face and then you couldn’t get glasses after all because your eyeballs kept falling out and rolling all over the floor but you can’t pick them up because your hands are made of shoelaces. That dream will come true.

Libra, the Scale: Sep. 23- Oct. 22 Congratulations, Libra! This year, the stars have shown me many silver and shiny objects in your future. Perhaps you are in for a new car, some new cutlery or a velvet sack of doubloons; it could really be anything! Naturally, these bright and reflective objects will attract a whole manner of critters and creatures, so make sure you take the necessary safety precautions before swimming or venturing out into the wilderness. It would be a good idea for you to get outdoors at some point though. You could use a little sunshine.

Who will be considered the best COLUMN

People speculate all of the time who the best players in NBA history are, but this list has a twist---- it’s who will be considered the best players of all time in the year 2030.

1. LEBRON JAMES By the time LeBron’s career is over, he will be the greatest of all-time. Jordan was a better scorer, but LeBron is the most complete player in the history of the game and has no signs of slowing down. By the time he hangs up his shoes, The King will be at the top.

2. MICHAEL JORDAN Is there anything that needs to be said? It’s LeBron, Jordan and then everybody else.

6. WILT CHAMBERLAIN Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a game. That alone puts him in the top 10. Chamberlain’s prime is perhaps the most dominant in NBA history. Wilt the Stilt averaged 50.4 points and 25.7 points per game during the 1961-62 season. Granted some of his gaudy stats are due to the sheer volume of shots Chamberlain took, but it is impossible to keep him out of the top 10 with the ability to change a game the way he did.

Rebel Hoops to host Texas A&M Wednesday night BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com

Ole Miss endured a rugged stretch to begin SEC play as its front-loaded schedule included Kentucky and Florida in its first two games followed by road tests at Auburn and South Carolina, with Georgia at home in between. It equated to a 1-4 start in league play, but the Rebels survived and have now won back-to-back SEC contests against Tennessee and Missouri as they find themselves in a crucial stretch. Ole Miss (12-7, 3-4) welcomes Texas A&M (10-8, 2-5) on Wednesday night as it tries to get back to the .500 mark in SEC play. It will likely do so without senior guard Rasheed Brooks, who has not participated in any physical activity since collapsing on the floor and suffering a seizure in a game against Tennessee. The loss put strain on the Rebels’ bench, and tested their depth as they finished that game with just seven players. Junior guard Deandre Burnett returned on Saturday against Missouri after missing the two previous games with a sprained ankle, which helped the team immensely, giving it not only another healthy body and its leading scorer back, but another ball handler on a team

that is thin at guard. “I had a feeling in my head once I kneew (Ra)sheed (Brooks) wasn’t going to play that I was at least going to give it a go and go out there and see how I do,” Burnett said. “Most of it was adrenaline.” That adrenaline fueled him to 14 points and four assists in 36 minutes on his return. Newly minted SEC player of the week Terence Davis has stepped up in the absence of Burnett and Brooks, posting a double-double in his last two games and giving the Rebels a lift – and more importantly some scoring – when it was badly needed. “I’m just proud that he’s competing at a high level,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “He is still very much a work in progress, but things have changed. He played 39 minutes against Missouri, took a career-high 16 shots. He’s had back-to-back 20 and 10 games. He’s an athletic guy and we need him to make athletic plays.” Ole Miss will need all hands on deck as it faces an A&M team that has yet to find its footing, but has wins over the likes of Georgia and Virginia Tech and lost a pair of tough contests to USC, UCLA and Arizona in a challenging non-conference stretch.
