Index On this day in history 150 years agoThe Union army counterattacks at Shiloh and drives the Con-
federates from the field. The number of casualties is staggering. Af-ter two days of heavy fighting, the total is 23,746 killed, wounded and missing — more than all of the previous U.S. wars combined.

The National Weather Service has combed through the records and found no warmer March or fi rst three months across north Missis-sippi and west Tennessee.
Mild temperatures allowed resi-dents to save on winter heating costs and to get an early start on garden-ing.
The Corinth Gas & Water Depart-ment is among those that has seen the impact of a balmy winter.
“We normally come out of winter with [natural gas] storage at least under 40 percent,” said Gas & Wa-ter Manager John Rhodes. “This year, here we are out of the winter months, and our storage is about 80 percent.”
Similar circumstances can be found across much of the country, including the northern states, he said.
According to the National Weath-er Service Memphis Forecast Offi ce, March was the warmest on record, with an average temperature of 63.8 in Tupelo, 9.8 degrees above nor-mal, and 64.8 in Memphis, 10.8 de-
grees above normal. March had 19 days with temperatures at least 10 degrees above normal in Tupelo.
Corinth had 16 days in March with high temperatures of at least 75 de-grees, according to Corinthweather.net. The lowest temperature re-corded in March was a low of 31 on March 4.
The weather service said the warm March resulted from a lack of strong cold fronts moving through and a strong ridge of high pressure over the eastern U.S.
It is also the warmest year to date through March 31, with an average temperature of 53.8 in Tupelo, 6.6 degrees above the normal, and 54 in Memphis, 6.8 degrees above the normal.
The warm weather and lack of a late cold snap present the area with a “tremendous opportunity” for fruit and vegetable production, said Pat-rick Poindexter, county director for the Mississippi State University Ex-tension Service.
“I’m seeing a good deal of excite-ment generated by this warm weath-er,” he said. “Everybody is really busy right now as far as planting and
preparations.”He shares in the enthusiasm.“My blueberry bushes are loaded
down, as well as my apple tree,” said Poindexter.
The critical test is getting past the threat of last freeze around April 15.
“If we can get past that and not have a freeze, we should have a bumper crop of fruit and a tremen-dous vegetable year,” he said.
Disease and insect pressures could be concerns, however, as well as ad-equate summer rain.
And the temperature does not have to go below freezing to cause problems.
“Especially with these fruit trees, the temperature even bordering on freezing can cause a stresser, and the fi rst thing they are going to do is shed their fruit,” said Poindexter.
Although the chances of avoiding a late freeze are getting better each day, he said he remembers snow on April 21 just a few years ago.
The weather service says the out-look for April through June calls for warmer than normal temperatures in northeast Mississippi and across the Mid-South.
March becomes warmest month on recordBY JEBB JOHNSTON

SELMER, Tenn. — First Bap-tist Church is going on the road to reach the lost.
The church will move its an-nual Easter service to McNairy Central’s Don Whitaker Sta-dium on Sunday morning in hopes of bringing out more of the unchurched.
“Our vision team was talking about things we could do and we came up with this outside the box way to reach people,” said church pastor Bro. Mark Thompson. “Lost people need Jesus and Easter is for them.”
The outside service is re-placing the church’s normal two-service time, which sees around 800 attend on Easter Sunday.
“Easter with First Baptist” is set to begin at 9 a.m. with a meet and greet time with coffee,
juice and doughnuts. A commu-nity Easter Egg hunt will begin at 9:30 with over 6,000 eggs to be gathered by youngsters.
“Out of the concept of hav-ing services at the stadium, the eggs became the draw,” said minister of music Bryan Essary. “With the exception of Judg-ment House, this is the biggest thing we have done.”
First Baptist has set an atten-dance goal of 1,200. The church easily surpassed its target of 5,000 eggs fi lled with candy.
From fl yers, to in-house vid-eos, and plastic coffee cups, the church has pooled all its assets to promote the unique service.
“We want people to see that First Baptist Church wants to serve Jesus,” said Thompson. “We are praying for 1,200 peo-ple and that a number of them will be saved on Sunday.”
The church’s outside the box
effort has created an excite-ment within the congregation, according to their pastor.
“People are enthused and asking what they can do to help,” said Thompson.
“When this was brought up it was suppose to be a thing to get everyone involved in church,” added Essary. “I haven’t heard anything negative, it has all been positive.”
First Baptist will begin the 10 a.m. worship service with 20 minutes of music led by the worship choir, praise team, so-loists and orchestra.
“We will be hitting all gamuts with much more upbeat music followed by traditional hymns,” said Essary.
Thompson’s message will be, “Why Three Crosses?”
A nursery will be provided for newborn age through two years old.

In the second-fl oor of-fi ce of a downtown Corinth business is an treasure of information for historians and students of the Civil War.
The collection belongs to Van Hedges, president of Southern Insurance Con-sulting on Waldron Street. Hedges is a collector of any document that originated in or depicts Corinth during the American Civil War.
The most numerous items in Hedges’ collection are the soldiers’ letters.
“Over 300,000 soldiers were in Corinth during the course of the war,” Hedges said. “As you can imagine, that created a lot of paper.”
Other documents include telegraphs, passes grant-ing soldiers permission to go on leave or travel, pa-role papers and much. One document is an invitation to a New Year’s Eve offi cers’ banquet. A wide variety of life during the Civil War is represented in the collec-tion of paperwork.
Hedges’ collection of sol-diers’ portraits is extensive as well. With two photog-
raphers’ studios in Corinth during the war, soldiers stationed in the town had ample opportunities to sit for a portrait photo.
Many of the soldiers’ por-traits are called carte de vistas, a small type of pho-tograph that was popular in the mid 19th century.
“Basically they were the baseball cards of the day. Soldiers would send them home and trade them with others from their unit,” Hedges said.
While letters and carte de vistas are among the more numerous items in Hedges collection, “you will fi nd a little bit of everything,” he said.
One poignant item is a small, palm-sized New Tes-tament that was found in the hand of a dead Confed-erate soldier after the Battle of Corinth. Inside the front cover is a message from the soldier addressed to his “dear” sister.
“I’m on my way to Glory,” wrote the dying soldier.
The most valuable item in the collection is the order by Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard for

Amy F. Madjlesi and Courtney L. Meeks, both of Corinth, were named to the Dean’s List at the University of Memphis for the fall 2011 semester.
Students on the list met one of the following criteria for the semes-
ter: completion of six to eight graded hours with a semester grade point average of 4.00; completion of nine to 11 graded hours with a minimum GPA of 3.66; or completion of 12 or more graded hours with a semester GPA of 3.5 or above.

in a letter home). Next he’ll organize it within the collection according to type and chronology. Lastly, he makes a copy of the document that will stay in the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center’s Library.
Many authors have uti-lized Hedges’ collection while researching books. Hedges said his intent is to make the collection available for anyone who wants to use it. In fact, he doesn’t consider the col-lection as his own.
“I see myself as the temporary custodian,” he said.
In addition to the docu-ments, the collection also contains many items related to the Battle of
Corinth including cover-age of the battle in the major east coast newspa-pers; original lithographs of the battle from Currier & Ives and other popular illustrators of the time; a photograph from the 1926 reunion of Confed-erate soldiers who fought at Corinth as they posed in front of the Alcorn County courthouse; the original map of America from Corona College, the female university in Corinth that was de-stroyed during the war; and a hand-carved walk-ing stick made by Hedges’ great-grandfather while he was in a Union prison.
The largest item in the collection is the scale model of Corinth and the
surrounding area during the Civil War. The cross-roads town and all its buildings are accurately depicted on a table made by a professional model-maker. All of the buildings are historically accurate, based on the sketches of Matthew Amos Miller, a Pennsylvania-born en-gineer who made a very detailed sketchbook of Corinth in 1860.
Hedges has lived in Corinth for 35 years. His collection began with newspaper in which the battle was the main story.
It has since expanded to included a wealth of information that will be prized by historians as long as there is interest in the Battle of Corinth.

Column
I’ve been preparing my students for their last big assignment of the semester: a 5-7 minute persuasive speech. Of course, select-ing topics is the fi rst and most important hurdle because topics affect every aspect of preparation and delivery including research, fact-fi nding and audience analysis.
We spend about a week discussing topics in class and I encourage students to survey their classmates regarding attitudes and beliefs on various topics. We’ve discussed everything
from gun control to legalizing marijuana and prostitution, to keeping fi ne arts and physical education in high school.
During one spirited class-room discussion some of my business majors began asking questions about Social Security and entitlements. Someone said something about our soar-ing defi cits and debt. And then a student said he didn’t believe we even had a debt, that his
family had discussed all the press about the national debt and had concluded all the talk was made up. At this point the classroom ex-ploded with protests and laughter.
I enjoy teaching college students because I learn so much from them and what they have been taught. Last semester a student said Europe was in much better shape than the U.S. in terms of the economy. Really? We’re certainly heading in that direction but fortu-nately we’re not seeing austerity measures and street riots that have become so common across the pond.
A while back FOX News featured an inter-view with a professor from Valencia College in Florida in which the professor shared answers his students gave to his question: “What is your American Dream and how can the feder-al government help you achieve it?” Answers included free healthcare, free college educa-tion, guaranteed jobs with good pay, down payment on a house, etc.
Out of curiosity I asked my students a simi-lar question (”What does the government owe you?”) and told them not to write their names on the paper. After they turned in their pa-pers, we discussed the question in class as a means to stimulate thought about persuasive speech topics.
About half the class responded the govern-ment owed us protection from attack (foreign and domestic), transportation (infrastruc-ture), and truth in governing. I was impressed!
Several students wanted more money and lower taxes from the government … literally. Yes, I know that begs the question of where the government gets money in the fi rst place, but these students apparently believe the gov-ernment has plenty of money without us hav-ing to give it more through taxes.
Some surprising answers: free gas for cars; no taxes; provide more money; give higher tax refund checks; a better job and more and free college. And, the winner: “What the gov-ernment owe me! More money for college, just more money in general.”
Remember, these students, mostly fresh-men and sophomores, will vote for the fi rst time in November.
Scarier than that, consider how these stu-dents developed these expectations of gov-ernment. Their answers refl ect not only what they’ve learned in their families, but also what they’ve learned in school about how our gov-ernment works.
Since the New Deal of the 1930s and through the Great Society and the War on Poverty of the 1960s, we’ve literally taught generations of families who are nearly if not totally depen-dent on Uncle Sam for their livelihoods that government’s role is to provide a long list of benefi ts and services (see lists above) includ-ing “money.”
If I were among these generations of gov-ernment-dependent families, I would cer-tainly vote early and often for candidates who offered “free” benefi ts, services and money at the expense of “rich folks.” Because, after all, it’s only “fair.”

Prayer for today
A verse to share
For the fi rst time in 34 years, Chuck Colson won’t be in a prison for Easter. The famous Watergate fi g-ure and Christian convert usually spends the day min-istering to prisoners, but is recovering from surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain.
Colson, 80, is a giant of our time. He is a reminder of the true meaning of re-demption, a concept that has been debased in our Tilt-a-Whirl media culture that can’t distinguish be-tween notoriety and fame. In contemporary America, redemption begins some-time between the fi rst check-in into rehab and the fi rst cable-TV interview, and reaches completion when everyone gets distracted by someone else’s attention-grabbing disgrace.
Colson’s personal re-demption was wrenchingly sincere, a shattering expe-rience that brought him through that great narrative arc of conversion: worldly success, crushing humili-ation and then victory in terms he never would have imagined when he was at the pinnacle of power by the side of the leader of the free world.
Colson was known, in the words of a Wall Street Jour-
nal headline that stuck with him, as Nixon’s “ h a t c h e t man.” He helped build the sinews of the Silent Majority with outreach to constituen-cies like la-
bor, and was an all-around fi xer. Nixon loved his ruth-lessness. Colson had every reason to feel proud of his status. He was in the swim of events, a big man, a tough guy, talked about, respected and feared. But pride is the great villain in Colson’s clas-sic autobiography, “Born Again.”
When he gave the vale-dictory at his high school in Cambridge, Mass., he em-phasized pride. When he turned down a full scholar-ship to Harvard, he did it out of pride — to stick it to all the swells. In the Nixon White House, he served a man drunk on pride.
Colson left government after Nixon’s re-election, feeling exhausted and emp-ty. As the furor over Water-gate grew, he visited a friend one night, a successful busi-nessman who had converted to Christianity. The friend
read a passage from C.S. Lewis: “Pride always means enmity — it is enmity. And not only enmity between man and man, but enmity to God.” Later, Colson sat in his car outside the house weeping alone in the dark-ness, not tears of sadness nor of joy, but “of relief.”
When he realized that the exigencies of his legal de-fense were inconsistent with the forthrightness entailed by his new faith, he pleaded guilty and became Prisoner 23226 at Maxwell Federal Prison Camp in Alabama, stripped of “power, prestige, freedom, even my identity.” Critics doubted and mocked Colson’s conversion. His Nixon administration ad-versary, former Attorney General John Mitchell, gibed that if Colson were a Christian, “I’ll take my chances with the lions.”
Colson was forced, as he told James Rosen of Fox News a few years ago, to see “the world through the eyes of people who were disad-vantaged and marginalized and rejected, the outcasts in society, the untouchables in American life.” Although in prison less than a year, he never quite left. He started his group Prison Fellow-ship, which is now active in most American prisons,
running Bible studies, spon-soring pen pals and provid-ing gifts to the children of inmates.
A devotee of the great English reformer and aboli-tionist William Wilberforce, Colson is one of the nation’s foremost voices for check-ing the excesses of Ameri-ca’s prison-industrial com-plex. He long ago came full circle from the enforcer of a “law and order” administra-tion to an advocate of mercy and restraint. He doesn’t mind telling uncomfortable truths. He stirred up some of his fellow evangelicals when, in the 1990s, he pro-moted reconciliation with Catholics. He maddens the left with his unbending so-cial conservatism.
What seemed to be Chuck Colson’s fall from grace in the mid-1970s was really the opposite. It was the fi rst step on an ascension to true courage and service. His life is a testament to how re-demption, so often debased and abused in a 24/7 news cycle obsessed with celeb-rity and scandal, can be as-tonishingly powerful and real.

Reminder of the true meaning of redemption
Say goodbye to Martha Johnson. This week, she was forced to resign as chief of the General Services Ad-ministration, the federal agency that manages real estate for the government.
Somehow Johnson man-aged to spend an incred-ible $820,000 for a confer-ence outside of Las Vegas. Among the expenditures she okayed: $31,000 for a “networking reception,” $146,000 for catered food and drinks, as well as $130,000 in expenses to “scout” the conference’s hotel location. Apparently, Johnson’s advance team had to travel to Vegas six times to get a handle on where best to discuss GSA business. Somebody had to do it.
In her resignation letter, Johnson acknowledged “a signifi cant misstep.”
Thanks.
President O b a m a ’ s chief of staff, Jacob Lew, says Obama “was out-raged by the e x c e s s i v e spending.”
Oh, yeah? Has he seen the federal budget lately?
This all ties in together. Federal bureaucrats know that tax dollars roll in no matter what. It’s the law. If you don’t want to wind up in the penitentiary like Wes-ley Snipes, you pay what the feds tell you to pay. And Johnson gets a taste.
After all, what’s the big deal? The Obama adminis-tration is the biggest spend-ing outfi t in the history of the country. Why shouldn’t fed-eral employees eat shrimp at $4 a piece at a cocktail
party? If the rich guys would only pay their fair share in taxes, they could swallow even more shellfi sh.
I love the shrimp deal. A quick check with ShopRite confi rms that one shrimp in that grocery chain sells for 30 cents. Peeled. But at the GSA bash, the shrimp was on a platter, so there’s that. By the way, the cheese dis-play at that party cost $19 per person, and the sushi station was another $7,000. And just in case the federal employees were hungry the next morning, breakfast was $44 per person. Egg Mc-Muffi ns, anyone?
In case you haven’t no-ticed, Obama is fi ghting hard against cutting federal spending. He is now calling Congressman Paul Ryan’s austere budget proposal “Darwinism.” Obama con-tends that if the feds don’t continue to fund the money
train, some folks will be de-nied the American Dream. Like eating $4 shrimp.
But my dreams have turned to nightmares with folks working for the fed-eral government purloining my wallet and running wild in Vegas. This causes me to toss and turn because I have worked very hard for the money they are wasting. Yet the president still tells me that I am not paying my fair share.
So, how about this trade-off, Mr. President? I’ll stop whining about taxes if you order all future federal “con-ferences” to be held at a ShopRite.

StateJACKSON — Missis-
sippi could soon settle its 2007 lawsuit against the fi rms that built the fi -nancially disastrous beef plant in the Yalobusha County town of Oakland.
Jan Schaefer, a spokes-woman for Attorney Gen-eral Jim Hood, said the state and Georgia’s Facili-ty Group, which was hired to oversee construction of the plant, have reached agreement although a set-tlement has yet to be sub-mitted to Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd.
“We have agreed on all
material terms but the formal written agree-ment is still being fi nal-ized,” Schaefer wrote in an email.
Schaefer declined to re-lease further details. Phil Abernethy, a lawyer for Facility Group, said Hood is still reviewing the docu-ment, but says it could be fi led next week.
The state’s lawsuit al-leges that Facility Con-struction Management Inc., a subsidiary of the Smyrna, Ga., Facility Group, kept the project going even after execu-tives knew it was doomed, so the company could keep bilking the state out
of money.Mississippi Beef Pro-
cessors LLC closed three months after it opened in 2004, laying off 400 peo-ple and sticking taxpayers with $55 million in state-backed loans.
Federal, state and local subsidies for the project totaled more than $71 million. There has been some payoff, as frozen-foods fi rm Windsor Qual-ity Foods bought the plant in 2007 and now employs
300 people there.A trial had been sched-
uled to begin March 19 before Kidd, but never took place. The last pub-lic action in the case was lawyers arguing motions before Kidd in February. The Facility Group had asked Kidd to rule in such a way that it would have gutted the state’s case, while the state had been seeking to obtain 2004 federal grand jury testi-mony from the criminal
investigation of the plant.Six people went to jail
in that case, including three leaders of the Fa-cility Group — Robert L. Moultrie, Nixon E. Cawood and Charles K. Moorehead. Their com-pany took over after Rich-ard Hall, a Tennessee businessman who origi-nally led the effort, ran into trouble. Hall, whose company collected a $5 million state grant in ad-dition to loan guarantees,
was sentenced to eight years in prison after ad-mitting he kept $751,000 in public and corporate funds for himself.
Facility Group lead-ers said they gave illegal campaign contributions to Ronnie Musgrove, a Democrat who was gov-ernor from 1999 to 2003. Musgrove had only in-direct infl uence over the project, said he did noth-ing wrong, and never faced criminal charges.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. job market took a breather in March af-ter its best hiring stretch since the Great Recession.
Employers added 120,000 jobs last month — half the December-February pace and well short of the 210,000 economists were expect-ing. The unemployment rate fell from 8.3 per-cent in February to 8.2 percent, the lowest since January 2009, but that was largely because many Americans stopped look-ing for work.
Still, few economists expect hiring to fi zzle in spring and summer, as it did the past two years. And they blamed seasonal fac-tors for much of Friday’s disappointing report from the Labor Department.
“We don’t think this is the start of another spring dip in labor market condi-tions,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist with Capital Economics.
The report was also closely watched in politi-cal circles. If employers re-treat on hiring, consumers could lose confi dence in the economy and poten-tially dim President Barack Obama’s re-election hopes.
Ashworth and other economists cited the weather for the latest jobs report. A warm Janu-ary and February allowed companies to hire work-ers for outdoor jobs a few weeks earlier than usual, effectively stealing jobs from March. It partially explains a 34,000-job drop in retail hiring and a 7,000 drop in construction jobs.
“Our winter didn’t re-ally exist,” said Alan Am-dahl, who runs his own construction company in Sioux Falls, S.D. “It’s just incredible. People didn’t hibernate.”
Economists also say the numbers can bounce around from month to month. Consistently cre-ating 200,000 jobs a month is tough. The econ-omy hasn’t put together four straight months of 200,000 or more new jobs since early 2000.
Economists are still encouraged by the re-cent hiring trend: The economy has generated an average 212,000 jobs a month from January through March.
Anthony Chan, chief economist at JP Morgan Wealth Management, not-ed strong growth among businesses that are espe-cially sensitive to the econ-omy’s health. Hotels and restaurants hired 39,000 workers. Manufacturers added 37,000.
The factory hiring is especially welcome. Ex-panding factories create more jobs at the mines that produce raw materials, in warehouses and at truck-ing companies and at utili-ties that generate power.
Government jobs, which declined by an av-erage 22,000 a month last year, fell just 1,000 in March. An improving economy is generating tax revenue and easing bud-get problems at city halls and statehouses across the country.
The March slowdown brings back painful mem-ories of what happened in mid-2010 and 2011, when the economy lost momen-tum and job growth sput-tered.
The job market had been on a recent roll. From December through February, the country added 734,000 jobs. The only three-month stretch that was better since the recession ended was March through May 2010, when the govern-ment was hiring tens of
thousands of temporary workers for the census.
Companies across the country are hiring:
■ Nimble Storage, a young information tech-nology company in San Jose, Calif., is rapidly add-ing staff to keep up with demand for its data stor-age devices. Anup Singh, the company’s chief fi -nancial offi cer, says the explosive growth of data and the need for compa-nies to store, analyze and deliver it is driving rapid expansion. Nimble Stor-age has added 30 employ-ees so far this year, bring-ing its workforce to 175. It expects to hire 70 more by the end of the year. They are hiring engineers, sales people and customer sup-port staff.
■ Landry & Kling Cruise Event Services in Miami, which arranges events on cruise ships, has added two workers this year and plans to hire two more. Sales are strong.
“It’s like the fl oodgates are opening,” says CEO and co-founder Joyce Kling. “There’s an en-ergy to our day now. We see a lot of leads fl oating through.”
■ IdeaPaint, a com-pany that makes wash-able paint that people can use erasable markers on, has hired seven workers in the last three months. Sales have risen sharply and are expected to keep rising. So the Ashland, Mass.-based company has more plans to hire — it has 31 employees now and expects to have 40 at the end of the year.
“We just had a board meeting yesterday and agreed to become more aggressive with our hir-ing, with our advertis-ing, with our investment spending. We’re very con-fi dent,” CEO Bob Munroe said.
The unemployment rate has dropped from 9.1 percent last August to 8.2 percent last month, the lowest since Obama’s fi rst month in the White House.
Each month, the gov-ernment does one survey to learn how many jobs were created and anoth-er survey to determine the unemployment rate. Those surveys can pro-duce results that some-times seem to confl ict.
One is called the pay-roll survey. It asks mostly large companies and gov-ernment agencies how many people they em-ployed during the month. This survey produces the number of jobs gained or lost.
The other is the house-hold survey. Government workers ask whether the adults in a household have a job. Those who don’t are asked whether they’re looking for one. If they are, they’re consid-ered unemployed. If they aren’t, they’re not con-sidered in the work force and aren’t counted as un-employed. The household survey produces each month’s unemployment rate.
Job market takes spring break after winter hiring

MOORHEAD, Minn. —
Authorities have decided to return a $12,000 tip to a Minnesota waitress that police believed was drug money.
Stacy Knutson of Moor-head says a customer told her she could keep a
takeout container she left behind at the Fryn’ Pan restaurant. The box turned out to contain $12,000 in bills in various denomina-tions.
Police initially told her she could keep the money if no one claimed it, but later said it was part of a
drug investigation.On Thursday, after the
case drew national atten-tion, Assistant Clay County Attorney Michelle Lawson told reporters the mon-ey could not be tied to a criminal investigation, and that Knutson would get a check.

Virginia Beach firefighters work the scene of a jet crash Friday in Virginia Beach, Va. Two Navy pilots ejected from a fighter jet, sending the unmanned plane careening into a Virginia Beach apartment complex and tearing the roof off at least one build-ing that was engulfed in flames, officials said. Six people, including both pilots, were taken to hospitals, officials said. The Navy said both aviators on board the jet ejected before it crashed around noon and were being taken to hospitals for observation.

STARKVILLE — Missis-sippi State coach Dan Mul-len wasn’t quite sure if his defense was that good or his offense was that bad.
Regardless, he did know one thing after Friday’s fi rst full scrimmage of spring work-outs: There’s still a lot of work to do.
“I don’t know that I ever get to really be happy after a scrimmage,” Mullen said.
It wasn’t all bad for Mul-len’s revamped offense that includes new starting quar-
terback Tyler Russell and new feature running backs LaDarius Perkins and Nick Griffi n. There were a few en-couraging signs — like Rus-sell’s two touchdown passes and no turnovers during the nearly 150-play scrimmage — but there were also dropped passes, bad reads and inef-fective stretches that plagued the marathon 2 1⁄2 hour scrim-mage.
In other words, the kind of things that won’t allow Mis-sissippi State to win in the ul-tra-competitive Southeastern
Conference Western Division that includes Alabama, Au-burn, LSU and Arkansas.
“I want to see cleanness and consistency ... I think only four of our 13 drives had more than one fi rst down and you can’t have that,” Mullen said. “That’s not moving the ball. That’s not playing the fi eld po-sition the game. Obviously, the defense really dominated.”
Russell unoffi cially com-pleted 22 of 44 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns during Friday’s scrimmage. The 6-foot-5 junior from Me-
ridian, Miss., played quite a bit last season while splitting time with senior Chris Relf, but now that Relf is gone, Russell will play a much more promi-nent role.
Backup Dak Prescott com-pleted 17 of 32 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns.
Russell started out with a crisp fi rst drive on Friday, completing 5 of 7 passes for 65 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown pass to Chris Smith.

Associated PressFAYETTEVILLE, Ark.— Moments af-
ter their motorcycle accident, Bobby Petrino and a female employee told a passer-by not to call 911, then got a ride back to Fayetteville where the Arkansas football coach was met by a state trooper who provides his person-al security during the season.
New details of the immediate after-math of Petrino’s crash were in a 911 call released Friday by the state police. The passer-by, Larry Hendren, describes coming upon the accident scene Sun-day evening just after Petrino and Jes-sica Dorrell “were getting up out of the ditch.” He said Petrino was “walking, but it looked like his face was bleeding quite a lot.”
“The rider and the passenger of the motorcycle declined us to call 911,” Hen-dren told a dispatcher. “They got into a vehicle and headed toward the hospital.”
Petrino was taken to a Fayetteville in-tersection by another passer-by. There, Dorrell left in her own car while Petrino was met by Capt. Lance King, his per-sonal security guard during the season. King took Petrino to a hospital, where he was treated for broken ribs and a cracked neck vertebra.
State police said Friday they planned to question the trooper, looking for “any information Captain King may have learned about the crash” during conver-sations with Petrino.
Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long is considered the future of the football coach, whose salary averages more than $3.5 million.

But then the Bulldogs bogged down.
It wasn’t all the fault of the of-fense. Mississippi State’s veteran defense had something to say about it too.
Senior linebacker Cameron Lawrence discussed the de-fense’s good day as the offense ran sprints in the background — which was punishment for losing.
“We had a chip on our shoul-der,” Lawrence said. “We didn’t want to be doing what they’re do-ing right now.”
The Bulldogs are replacing a few key starters on defense, but still return veterans like defen-sive tackle Josh Boyd, corner-backs Johnthan Banks and Corey Broomfi eld and Lawrence. It’s a group that’s played together for four years, so it’s not particularly surprising they were usually a step ahead of the younger of-fense.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Freddie Couples turned back the clock at the Masters on Friday — back to 1992 — during a seven-birdie second round that coaxed a fi st pump from the Califor-nia-cool 52-year-old and put him in a tie for the lead with Jason Dufner at Augusta National.
“Can I win?” Couples said, repeat-ing the question that so many are ask-ing now. “Yeah, I believe I can. Yes.”
He shot 5-under 67, the same score he posted 20 years ago during the second round of what turned out to be one of the most popular wins in
the history of the tournament. Were it not for the gray hair beneath his cap, this might have been confused for a replay of that ’92 win instead of the second round in 2012.
“Standing out there, I said, ‘What the hell,’ a lot. What do I have to lose here?” Couples said.
Meantime, Phil Mickelson made six birdies during a round of 4-under 68 to pull to 2 under for the tourna-ment.
Tiger Woods shot 3-over 75 and was at 3 over for the tournament, closer to the cut line of 5 over than the lead.

Wisdom12 • Daily Corinthian Saturday, April 7, 2012
DEAR ABBY: I am a teenager who has recently discovered that my dad has been having sexually explicit conversations with w o m e n online for at least 10 years. He is usually withdrawn from the rest of the family, and I strongly suspect it's because he cares more about his online fantasies than he does about his life with my brothers, my mother and me.
I don't know what to do. I can no longer look him
in the eye. I don't respect him; I pity him. I'm afraid to tell anyone in my fam-ily because of the drama it will cause, and don't want to tell him because I know it will change our relation-ship. Still, I don't think I can keep this to myself.
I have considered see-ing a therapist, but I don't know how I can do that without giving my par-ents an explanation about why I'm going. What do you think I should do? — CONFLICTED TEEN IN NEW YORK
DEAR CONFLICT-ED: You have been ex-posed to a large dose of information you shouldn't have, and for that you have my sympathy. If you
feel you need to discuss this with a therapist, then you defi nitely should.
As I see it, you have several options. The fi rst would be to talk to a coun-selor at school and ask if counseling is available that way. If it isn't, then tell your father you need it, and why. And if he refuses, tell your mother everything.
DEAR ABBY: I'm a 23-year-old college ju-nior, double-majoring in English and education. Although I am pretty advanced in my degree fi eld, I'm having second thoughts about my deci-sion. Every day it seems as if I invest all my time and energy into some-thing I don't even want to
be a part of.I have a very adventur-
ous spirit. I want to con-stantly be doing, going and discovering. Part of me says I'm an adult and I should ignore the explorer part of me. But it's hard to say that change isn't pos-sible because we're talking the rest of my life. How can I connect passion with occupation — especially at this stage of the game? — GYPSY SOUL
DEAR GYPSY SOUL: By thinking out of the box. There are vari-ous options in the fi eld of education, and one of them is teaching English in foreign countries. Start looking for opportunities in that area, and you may
be able to also fulfi ll your urge for adventure. An-other option that comes to mind would be joining the Peace Corps or Teach for America. Please con-sider what I am suggest-ing and do some research on your own.
DEAR ABBY: Is it ever proper to wear your napkin tucked into your shirt collar when dining out, instead of placing it on your lap? Tradition-ally, a napkin is placed on the lap to prevent soiling of the clothing, I would guess. But some plus-sized folks and women with large bustlines don't usually have food reach their laps, just their shirts. So what do you think?—
JUST WONDERING IN NEW JERSEY
DEAR JUST WON-DERING: Your napkin belongs in your lap when dining out, regardless of what size you are. Accord-ing to Emily Post, “an ex-ception can be made for the elderly or infi rm.” So if you are neither of those, consider carrying a stain remover “pen” with you in case there is a slip twixt the fork and the lip.
(Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was found-ed by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Dear Abby
Discovery of dad's secret life can't be kept quiet
Horoscopes by Holiday
If you still haven't mas-tered the art of doing nothing, the day after the full moon is a fi ne time to start fi guring it out. Fif-teen minutes of absolute nothingness could bring a deeper sense of relaxation than you'd get from a whole weekend of fun and games. But it has to be tru-ly nothing. No television or Internet. Just sitting in the sanctuary of silence.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sometimes it's lonely at the top, but you don't really mind because there is so much that's enjoy-able there. Besides, you've worked so hard to get where you are. You can al-ways remedy the situation by reaching out to friends.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can handle the truth -- almost any truth -- when it's present-ed in a non-emotional manner. It's the feelings
that make facts diffi cult to process sometimes.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're getting a cer-tain reputation with your-self. What you think about you is the only opinion that really matters today, as any other opinions aren't likely to affect you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Center yourself. If you don't know how, it's worth learning, because there's much to gain from being in a solid place in-ternally. For starters, you'll be able to correctly assess your situation and make a winning play.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You like money because it buys you the freedom to arrange your life the way you want it. With-out funding, less is pos-sible. Seek fi nancial aid to broaden your horizons.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel ready to take things to the next level.
Don't try to convince an-other person to feel the same. Act like they already do feel the same, and it will just happen naturally.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll feel better for getting something off of your chest. Whether it should go in your diary or you should actually tell the other person, well, that de-pends on what you're try-ing to accomplish. Which way is most selfl ess?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whatever you do, your instinct is to do it with style. This may take more money, time and effort than you originally wanted to give. However, you'll go forward anyway and later be glad you did.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Beware of try-ing to manage your feel-ings. Trying to feel what you think you should feel isn't going to work. When you let your true feelings
fl ow and accept them, oth-er impulses such as grace and love will emerge.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your heart is not exactly overrun with joy, but it is pretty full, and you have much love to give. Certainly you're better off than most. And you'll be in just the generous mood to try to even things out by contributing all you can.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may feel guilty for seeking hap-piness when there is so much need and pain in the world. But you owe it to the ones who are suf-fering to experience all the joy you possibly can.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It's been said that laugher is a form of ex-ercise for your insides — like jogging. Your sense of humor will be going strong, so share it. Ev-eryone around you needs this kind of “workout.”
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 7). This year turns up your creativity and drive. By April's end, a new project consumes your energy and gives back tenfold. You'll have the at-tention of major players in
May. In June, friends lead you to different work. A trip in October helps fi nan-cial prospects. The most romantic months will be July and December. Gem-ini and Sagittarius people adore you.
