camel, Ahab, on Feb. 20, attheir Playzure Arabian Farm
near Marianna.Ahab was seen at the side of
his mother, Rachel, who is ap-proximately 4. This is the first

Special session hinted at if ratio study invalidFlorida House Speaker Terrell Sessums said Thursday he may urge a specialtwo-week session next month if the state Supreme Court throws out a ratio
study aimed at equalizing public school financing.Sessums said that if the ratio study is invalidated, school children in properly
assessed counties would suffer at the expense of pupils living in countieswith poor assessment practices.
The auditor general’s study, under attack by seven school districts which
were big losers under the plan, distributes state school funds by dockingthose which assess property at a low rate. Public schools in Florida receive
funds from local property taxes and state supplements.The lawsuit challenging Auditor General Ernest Ellison’s ratio study was
brought by Pinellas, Sarasota, Martin, Charlotte, Alachua, Lee and DeSotocounties. They contend it is unfair to penalize school children just because
the county tax assessor does a poor job.— JACKSON COUNTY FLORIDAN,

“When the party’sthrough...seems verysad for you;Didn’t do the things youmeant to do.”
— “Day is Done”as performed by Nick Drake
Consumer debt is ap-proaching levels not seensince before the GreatRecession. And on the flipside, personal savings as aportion of disposable in-come is now at its lowestlevel in 12 years.
Some of this is certainlyunderstandable. Peoplefeel they “can breathe”again in terms of personalspending and borrowing.The economy is improv-ing, unemployment isdown, and folks feelcomfortable with theirfinancial circumstances.
Traditionally, Americansalso feel more inclinedto borrow when marketsare on an uptick, as theywere in 2017. People lookat their balance sheet andsee their assets climbingin value and say, “Hey,I’m worth more now.I can afford to borrowmore, spend more andsave less.” The net worthof American householdsrose by $41 trillion inthe third quarter of 2017alone. This “wealth effect”
impactsconsumerbehavior.
In late2017, re-paymentscheduleson newcar loansreveala fasci-nating story. Americanspurchasing new autossigned on for an averagerepayment period of 69months, or just undersix years. The Wall StreetJournal notes that “in thefourth quarter (of 2017),consumer debt, exclud-ing mortgages and otherhome loans, rose 5.5%from a year earlier to $3.82trillion.” That’s the largestincrease since 1999, thefirst year that statistic wasrecorded.
Meanwhile, Americansare saving less moneythan at any time since theend of 2007. Savings ratesalso remained low duringthe housing boom in thetwo previous years, 2005and 2006.
Many Americans bor-rowed heavily as interestrates remained relativelylow these last few years.We purchased homes,plowed money into busi-ness opportunities, andincreased our discre-
tionaryspending.But vola-tility inmarkets,dor-mant foralmost 18months,rearedits head
again in February. In addi-tion, the Federal Reserveseems committed toraising interest rates. Thiscombination, intertwinedwith other global forces,could portend an eco-nomic slowdown.
When a downturnoccurs, and everyone re-trenches simultaneously,that six-year car loan maynot feel so comfortable.It’s certainly advisable toinvest in valuable oppor-tunities and fun to spendfreely during healthyeconomic years, but it’sequally important to savemoney to see us throughperiods of economic slow-
downs. Consuming andsaving simultaneouslymay seem like an oxymo-ron, but truthfully, the twoactivities are not mutu-ally exclusive. Spendingand borrowing is fine, butit’s equally important toprepare for periods wheneconomic expansion isnot occurring.
Folks eschewed personalsavings while enjoyingrising asset values twicein the last twenty years:just before the dot.combubble in the late ‘90s andagain before the GreatRecession nine years ago.

I want to start off by thanking the wonderful town ofMarianna, FL for embracing our magical small business.
Without your patronage and support these last fouryears would not have been possible. I want every singlecustomer to know how much I’ve appreciated them. It
comes with my deepest sorrow to announce that Sparkleswill be closing February 28th. Please know I tried to fight
for our whimsical boutique that brought so many such joy,but the decision was not made by my hands. I tried to
express how this town needed more places like Sparklesbut my voice fell upon deaf ears. I hope that the business
that moves into our spot can bring the happiness andexcitement to Marianna just as we did. Thank you again
and I say this and mean it more than ever“Don’t ever let anyone dull your SPARKLE!”

The type of adults weend up becoming isoften based on the
way we are raised by ourparents or guardians.
We must be careful howwe handle our childrenfrom the time they enterthis world. Our childrenshould be our most prizedpossessions. It’s hard toreally know how much ababy knows as an infant,but there are signs thatshow they are smartenough to show emotionswhen they are hungry, wetor soiled. As they beginto grow, there are timesthey just might be takingadvantage of us. How weact, how a child’s siblingsact and how those whoare around us the most actcan have a big influenceon a child.
“What are you tryingto say, Murph?” It’s notcomplicated: The adults oftoday’s world are who theyare, in most instances,because of the attitudes,activities and beliefs that
were instilled in themas infants, children andyouth.
Our outlook on life candetermine our destiny.Good parents and guard-ians who teach theirchildren to honor God, re-spect others and help theirfellow citizens when theycan, most likely will seethe positive results of theirteaching in their childrenand grandchildren.
It’s interesting how manyof us say we don’t under-stand the situations takingplace in our world today,but if we take a walk downmemory lane, we mightunderstand clearly howsome of our past actionshave helped — whenadded with others withthe same mindset — influ-
ence some of the world’sproblems today.
There’s a learned reasona married man hits andverbally abuses his wifewhenever he decides to, soas a boy emulates parents,don’t act shocked whenthe news comes aroundthat he did the same to hisspouse or friend.
There’s a reason hateand discrimination arealive and well nearly 50years after Dr. MartinLuther King Jr. gave hislife fighting for equality.“Hate” is a short word, yetone of the most power-ful. When a child growsup hearing continuouslyhow his parents, siblingsor guardians have disdainfor others of another race,or sees and hears femalemembers of their familybeing abused in differentways by abusive men, itcan damage them men-tally for life.
Something is terriblywrong when a young mancan pick up a gun and
kill some of his peers orother innocent citizens,but somewhere in his lifehe has been influenced byothers in a sinful manner.When unhealthy habitshave become a part of ourlifestyle and are displayedaround our homes, it willdefinitely affect us, ourchildren and possibly thehealth of those around us.
When we are heavydrinkers or smokers,don’t be surprised ifour children or siblingsbecome adults with thosesame bad habits. If weare interested in havingmentally and physicallystrong children, it wouldbe a good idea to startacting as though we arebeing watched right now,because they are definitelywatching. And actions canspeak louder than words.

LLocal vendors are often a go-toLchoice when couples are planningLtheir wedding ceremonies andL
receptions. As the “shop local”movement grows in popularity,weddings present a primeopportunity to embrace thismovement.
Couples may have different ideasregarding where to tie the knot,but local vendors can be hired
regardless of geography. Bridesmagazine says the biggest
factor influencing weddinglocation is the size of theguest list and the numberof people who wouldn’t beable to attend if the weddingwas in a particular locale.Hometowns might be thetraditional choice regardingwedding location, but theXO Group says one in fourcouples now host destinationweddings.
Once couples choosea town or city to host their
weddings, they can beginexploring the benefits of working
with locally based vendors.
FamiliarityLocal vendors will be familiar
with the area and possibly eventhe location where the weddingwill be held. That can help couplesavoid having to give directions,discuss venue protocols, and handleother tasks that must be workedout with non-local vendors. Forexample, local photographersfamiliar with a particular venue willknow all of the best places to getshots, and some vendors may havepreexisting relationships with venuerepresentatives that could ensurewedding day operations go smoothly.
ProximityLocal vendors can meet with
brides and grooms more readilythroughout the planning process,making things less stressful onthe happy couple. This also makesit easier to drop off deposits,attend meetings, make fittingappointments, or attend stylingsessions.
SavingsCouples who travel for their
weddings and employ local vendorswill not have to pack as much. Using
local vendors eliminates the need tobring along bulky dresses, decorativeitems, flowers, and much more. Plus,couples needn’t pay to transport andhouse vendors brought along fromback home.
EnvironmentIndividuals who take great strides
to conserve resources by reducingtheir energy consumption andprotecting the environment oftenfind that shopping local is beneficial.Local vendors are more likely tosource their materials from otherlocal businesses, reducing theircarbon footprints along the way.For example, local caterers mayrely on local farmers for their foods,affording couples the chance to hosteco-friendly or even farm-to-tableweddings.
CustomizationWorking with local vendors
often translates into getting morepersonalized service and attentionthan mass retailers or merchants canprovide.
Going local when choosingwedding vendors is an increasinglypopular choice among couples aboutto tie the knot.

TALLAHASSEE — Flori-da’s governor announcedplans Friday to put morearmed guards in schoolsand to make it harder foryoung adults and somewith mental illness to buyguns, responding to days ofintense lobbying from sur-vivors of last week’s shoot-ing at a Florida high school.
Gov. Rick Scott unveiledhis school safety propos-als as teachers returned forthe first time to MarjoryStoneman Douglas HighSchool since the shootingnine days ago that killed 17people.
The shooting sparked anintense push to restrict ac-cess to assault rifles fueledby student activists whoswarmed the state Capitoldemanding concrete guncontrol measures.
President Donald Trumpsaid repeatedly Friday thathe favored arming teachersto protect students, an ideamany educators rejectedout of hand.
“I am totally against arm-ing teachers,” Browardschools SuperintendentRobert Runcie said. “Theyhave a challenging job as itis.”
Scott, a Republican wide-ly expected to run for theSenate, outlined his plan ata Tallahassee news confer-ence. In addition to ban-ning firearm sales to any-one under 21, the governorcalled for a trained law en-forcement officer for everyschool — and one for ev-ery 1,000 students at largerschools — by the time thefall 2018 school year begins.
Stoneman Douglas HighSchool in Parkland, whichhas more than 3,000 stu-dents, had one armed re-source officer who neverentered the building underattack while a gunman wasshooting people inside, of-ficials said.
That failure was com-pounded by confusionabout what was beingshown to police on schoolsecurity cameras the day ofthe shooting and the lackof meaningful response toreports to the FBI and lo-cal police that 19-year-oldsuspect Nikolas Cruz mightbecome violent, had gunsand possibly would attacka school.
Florida’s House speakercalled it an “abject break-down at all levels.” Cruz isjailed on 17 counts of mur-der and has confessed tothe shootings, investigatorssay.
A woman close to Cruzwarned the FBI on Jan. 5that he had rifles and said,“I know he is going to ex-plode,” according to atranscript of the tip to theFBI’s call center, which wasobtained Friday by The As-sociated Press. The FBIhas acknowledged it failedto investigate the tip. Thewoman described Cruz’sshort temper and said hehad the “mental capacityof a 12 to 14 year old.” Shesaid Cruz posted picturesof weapons on social media
and he wrote, “I want to killpeople.”
Among other things, thegovernor’s $500 millionplan would create a “violentthreat restraining order”that would let a court pro-hibit a violent or mentallyill person from purchasingor possessing a firearm orany other weapon undercertain circumstances.
The proposal would alsostrengthen gun purchaseand possession restrictionsfor mentally ill people un-der the state’s Baker Act,which allows someone tobe involuntarily hospital-ized for up to 72 hours.Scott is seeking $50 millionfor initiatives that includeexpanding mental healthservices by providing coun-seling, crisis managementand other mental healthservices for youth andyoung adults.
“No one with mental is-sues should have access toa gun. It is common sense.It for their own best interest,much less the best interestof our communities,” Scottsaid.
The governor’s plan madeno mention of armingteachers on school grounds
However, the Legislature’sRepublican leadership pro-posed letting teachers carrya gun if they have had lawenforcement training. Thelegislators’ plan also callsfor a three-day waiting peri-od for most gun purchases,with exceptions.
Democrats said neitherplan goes far enough.
“Unfortunately, bothplans omit a third, criticallyimportant piece of legisla-tion Democrats have beenand continue to push for:a ban on assault weaponsand high capacity maga-zines,” said state SenateDemocratic Leader OscarBraynon. He added that re-cent mass shootings showthat “so long as these highpowered weapons of warremain available for pur-chase these killings willcontinue.”
Talia Rumsky, a 16-year-old Stoneman DouglasHigh student who was atschool during the shoot-ing, was among those whotravelled to Tallahassee
Wednesday to lobby law-makers about gun control.
She said Scott’s plan tomake it illegal for anyoneunder 21 to purchase agun is a start, but said she
doesn’t think it goes farenough.
“This is a great first stepand we appreciate it,” thesophomore said. “But it’snot enough and we’re going
to make sure they know it’snot enough and is not solv-ing our problems.”
Trump told reporters Fri-day that schools need somekind of “offensive” capabil-ity to deter and respond toattackers.
“If they’re not gun free,if there are guns inside,held by the right people, byhighly trained profession-als, you’re going to see thisend. It won’t be happen-ing again. Our schools areessentially gun-free zonesand that makes them verydangerous places,” thepresident said.
On Friday evening, Mari-on P. Hammer, former pres-ident of the National RifleAssociation and longtimeFlorida lobbyist, issuedan appeal to gun enthusi-asts titled, “EMERGENCYALERT! Don’t Let ThemBlame You For Parkland.”She mentioned several pro-posals they could support,such as “hardening ourschools,” putting officers inschools and training volun-teer teachers to use guns.
But she said a three-daywaiting period would nothave stopped the Parkandshooter; bump stocks hadnothing to do with it; andraising the age limit for gunpurchases would be unfair.
After days of funerals forthose killed in the attack,teachers began the emo-tionally fraught process ofreturning to the school Fri-day to collect belongingsfrom classrooms that havebeen off-limits since theslayings. Following an ori-entation Sunday for teach-ers and students, classesresume Wednesday.
Broward teachers unionpresident Anna Fusco metwith the teachers as theyreturned to campus Fridayhailing them as “incrediblybrave and strong.”
“I met with one that wasgrazed with a bullet ... shehas a hole in her arm anda bruise from her shoulderto her elbow that looks likesomebody whacked herwith a bat and she’s like, ‘I’mhere because we need to getthings ready,” Fusco said.

U.S. banks still need anudge to be colorblindMore than 40 years ago, Congress adopted the
Community Reinvestment Act to ensure thatbanks would serve everyone in the areas where
they do business, regardless of race or class. Now, theTrump administration is considering how it might reformthis long-controversial law.
There’s reason for concern about the administration’sintentions. Done right, though, an update could actuallybe a good idea.
Together with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act andthe Fair Housing Act, the CRA was designed to address amarket failure: Racial and other prejudices can preventfinancial institutions from pursuing profitable business.It requires banks to make efforts to lend, invest and servecustomers in lower-income communities (which remaindisproportionately black and Hispanic). The evidenceis mixed, but on the whole it suggests that the law hasboosted credit without harming safety and soundness.
Nonetheless, the law leaves a lot to be desired. TheCRA demands compliance only from traditional deposit-taking banks, putting them at a disadvantage to thenon-bank lenders that account for an increasing shareof mortgage and business loans. Examiners assess per-formance primarily in areas where banks have physicalbranches, an approach that makes little sense in theage of internet lending. Transparency is lacking: Publicevaluations typically don’t provide enough detail to saywhether the additional investments are any good.
So the Treasury is right to consider reform. Unfortu-nately, the Trump administration seems more interestedin weakening the law than in making it work better. MickMulvaney, the acting director of the Consumer Finan-cial Protection Bureau, has started a reorganization thatseems likely to loosen fair-lending enforcement. Andthe Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, one of theagencies that examines banks, issued guidance in Oc-tober calling for leniency toward institutions that haveviolated fair-lending laws.
The Treasury should stick to its stated aim of improvingthe CRA. Apply the law to all relevant lenders, conductassessments in areas where those lenders actually dobusiness, and publish examination reports that identifyspecific community-development investments, to showwhere the money is going and how it is being used.
Banks alone can’t reverse the effects of racism, andshouldn’t be asked to. But the credit disparities that madethe CRA necessary haven’t gone away. Lenders’ actionsduring and after the subprime crisis showed that discrim-ination still happens. The law is still needed. It should beimproved, not undermined.

Tips should belong toworkers, not their bosses
The Trump administration is under fire for proposinga Labor Department regulation that could result inhotel and restaurant employers dipping into the tips
customers leave for their employees, depriving the nation’s14 million hard-working restaurant workers of significantamounts of money each year. Critics are right: This wouldbe a bad policy. Unfortunately, the administration mayhave the law on its side, which means that the law, not justthe regulation, is what really needs to change.
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) essentiallygives employers a choice of what to pay their waitstaffs:either the minimum wage or more, or a much lower“tipped minimum,” as long as tips make up the differ-ence. What the FLSA did not specifically cover, however,was what employers who paid wait staff the full minimumwage could do with tips. Some wanted to use the money forother things, for instance topping up the pay of their untip-ped “back of the house” workers, such as dishwashers. Andso, in 2011, the Obama administration issued a regulationexplicitly banning that: Even if you paid tipped workers fullminimum wage, they kept all the tips, whether as individu-als or as part of a “pool” in which only tipped workers couldparticipate. This forbid employers from subsidizing thewages of non-tipped personnel by letting them share in thetip pool.
California and other states encompassing about 30percent of the nation’s hotel and restaurant workers alsohave such a rule, so the Obama administration, in effect,was trying to nationalize it by regulation. Restaurants liti-gated - and most courts to consider the matter have sidedwith them, ruling that, as desirable as the Obama-era rulemight be in terms of policy, the FLSA simply does not givethe Labor Department power to impose it. Supreme Courtintervention is likely; the fact that most lower courts sidedwith the restaurants means that a victory for restaurants atthe high court is foreseeable, too.
Now comes the Labor Department proposal to rescindthe rule, thereby allowing restaurants to share the wait-staff’s tips with back-of-the-house workers, thus equalizingcompensation all around. That sounds nice; another way tolook at it, though, is as an invitation to a restaurant indus-try facing tight labor markets and higher state minimumwages to tap a fresh stream of unrestricted cash for all kindsof business purposes. Wage theft is a chronic problem inthe industry already. Even without actual bad faith, moneyis fungible: As the Trump Labor Department’s proposalfrankly acknowledges, the net result may be that restau-rants spend tips on capital improvements, not dishwasherwages.
Maybe someday restaurants and similar businesses willsettle on a compensation model that does not rely on tips.Until then, the principle that tips belong to the people forwhom the customer intended them should be upheld. Thiswould be a good issue for Congress, even a Republican one,to take up, by amending the FLSA. In the likely event it doesnot, state lawmakers will have to do the job.

No one becomes a mass shooterwithout a mass-shooting gunSACRAMENTO, Calif.
Look, it’s really simple: Massshootings will continue inthis country until we finally
ban mass-shooting weapons.The more bullets a gun can fire
rapidly, the more people will die.Pretty basic stuff.We don’t need
to twist elementary logic into acontortion.
Anyone who doesn’t understandthis is probably a firearms addictin denial.
Let’s be clear: I’m not anti-gun.I grew up shooting, have ownedfirearms all my life and enjoyedthem. I’m pro-common sense.
There’s absolutely no reasonto possess a semiautomatic,military-style rifle with large-capacity ammunition magazinesexcept to kill lots of people withina few minutes.
It’s not a good hunting weapon.And for personal protection,you’re better off with a 12-gaugeshotgun or a handgun. Of course,with those weapons at home, youalso might shoot a family memberor yourself.
Sorry, but all these gun kill-ings and the national politicians’inaction afterward are getting oldand repetitious. It’s like the movie“Groundhog Day.”
Regarding movies, yes, toomany flicks extol gratuitousviolence and sow evil seeds in vul-nerable kids’ minds.Video gamesare worse. But again, no one inreal life becomes a mass shooterwithout a mass-shooting gun.
Immediately after last week’sSouth Florida school shootingthat left 17 dead and 14 wounded,there was the usual strained fin-ger-pointing at the lack of mentalhealth treatment. Baloney!
Sure, anyone who murders isa wacko. But that doesn’t meanthey’re clinically mentally ill.No more than 5 percent of allviolence is committed by thementally ill, according to GarenWintemute, director of the UCFirearmViolence Research Center.
Certainly there should be bettermental health care. The killer wasa troubled 19-year-old ripe fortherapy.
Nikolas Cruz had been kickedout of school and his mother hadjust died. Even before that, hereportedly had tormented neigh-bors — bit a kid’s ear, threw eggs
at a car, shot chickens with a BBgun. He’d posed with guns on Ins-tagram and declared onYouTube:“I’m going to be a professionalschool shooter.”
He probably couldn’t have shot31 victims with a six-shooter orpistol holding nine rounds. Hewould have needed to pause toreload, giving his former school-mates a few seconds to flee orjump the guy.
Instead, Cruz went to the highschool armed with a weapon ofchoice for mass killers: a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle — thecivilian knockoff of the militaryM-4 — and several magazines. Hehad bought the weapon legally inFlorida, which has weak gun laws.
More of the country should befollowing California.We bannedthe sale of such assault weaponsmany years ago.
In 2016, we took another bigstep. The Legislature passed a billand the voters overwhelminglyapproved a separate ballot initia-tive outlawing the possession ofmagazines holding more than 10rounds.
But attorneys for the NationalRifle Assn. persuaded U.S. DistrictJudge Roger T. Benitez of San Di-ego to issue a preliminary injunc-tion blocking the large magazineban. The California Rifle andPistol Assn. argued that the banviolated 2nd Amendment rightsto bear arms and also protectionsagainst government seizure ofproperty without due process orcompensation.
Nonsense on the first count.The late conservative U.S.Supreme Court Justice AntoninScalia wrote in a 2008 opinion af-firming the right of individuals toown firearms: “The right securedby the Second Amendment isnot unlimited. ... The right wasnot a right to keep and carry anyweapon whatsoever in any man-ner whatsoever and for whateverpurpose.”
The gun lobby’s second countwas on target: The state govern-ment shouldn’t be forcing citizensto surrender their ammo maga-zines without compensation. Ifthe state wants the magazines, itshould buy them.
California and every other stateshould do a better job of detectingpotential killers and seizing theirguns. Cruz was waving red flags.The FBI didn’t see them.
Someone close to Cruz calledFBI officials last month to reportthat he had purchased a firearm,threatened a family member andposted scary messages on socialmedia. But proper “protocolswere not followed,” FBI DirectorChristopherWray acknowledged.
A California law allows immedi-ate family members and law en-forcement to seek a gun violencerestraining order against someonesuspected of being dangerous.If granted by a court, the orderforces the person to temporarilyturn over his firearms. That mighthave helped in South Florida.
Assemblyman Phil Ting (D-SanFrancisco) got a bill passed twoyears ago that also would havepermitted school staffs, co-work-ers and mental health specialiststo seek a restraining order. Gov.Jerry Brown vetoed the bill, sayingit was “premature” because theoriginal law had only been in ef-fect a short time.
Now Ting says he’ll reintroducethe bill. “More time has passedand we’ve seen more and moreshootings in schools and work-places,” the lawmaker says.
What Congress should do —and won’t as long as Republicansand the NRA controlWashing-ton — is ban the mass-shootingweapons. California Sen. DianneFeinstein tried to do that witha 1994 bill that expired 10 yearslater. The politicians refused torenew it.
“Now guns are more powerful.High-capacity magazines are nowlarger. And even bullets are moredestructive,” Feinstein says. “Webecome culpable when we donothing to stop it. ... I’m tired ofchildren getting shot.”
But too many of her colleaguesnever get tired of pandering forgun lobby support.

No need for relationship-building with cashiers
Have you noticed this ir-ritating trend?
You’re paying for yourstuff at the grocery store, orwherever, and the clerk, allbright-eyed and coached up,asks: “Got any big plans for theweekend?”
It’s epidemic. And it needs tostop.
I had only recently made mypeace with this invasive phrase’sless nosy cousin — “How hasyour day gone so far? — after itreplaced the classic “How areyou?”
Why is this worse? That’seasy. Because “How has yourday gone so far?” and “How areyou?” can easily be answered by“Fine.” Yes, moving on. We’re nothere to make friends.
“How are you?” sufficed sinceCavewoman first slapped on ananimal skin onesie and boughtmastodon bone broth. Why mustwe now have to feel just a littleawful because a complete strang-er has shamed us into revealingwe actually don’t have any plans,big or small, for the weekend?To take it further, until that verymoment, in fact, we were feelingpretty good about having twowhole days stretching ahead ofus with zero demands, our only“plans” consisting of not wearing
a bra for 48 straight hours andwatching six unwatched episodesof “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”with a cat or two on my lap. Forexample.
But now, Judgy McJudgerson isstanding there, waiting for me torespond, to share, to bond withhim, simply because I neededa ripe avocado for my morningtoast.
The first time I noticed it waswhen I had gone to the groceryto buy a couple of packs of adultdiapers and the twin-pack ofMiralax for Aunt Verlie.
“Do you have any big plans forthe weekend?” the clerk asked.
I had to skip a beat because,well, diapers and Miralax. Final-ly, I just looked him in the eyeand gestured toward the lonecontents of my cart: “Welllll,obviously!”
I’ve decided to give this ques-tion the attention it deserves. Tomake it really worth everyone’s
while so to speak.Here are some answers the
next time I hear...“Do you have big plans for the
weekend?”“Yes, I’m going to help
Jackie Chan fight the Hong Kongmafia. Jackie’s bringing thegrenades and I’m making thatBuffalo Chicken Dip. Hence theranch dressing.”
“Yes, I do! I’m going to havemy entire back tattooed witha full-color representation ofJustin Beiber and Selena Gomezinside a heart or, if that’s toodifficult, the Chinese symbol for“Gluten sensitive.”
“No! Not yet! Will you pleasebe my friend for the weekend?I’ve lived in this town for 36years and Not One Friend.Here’s my phone. Just put yournumber in my contacts so wecan text. What time do you getoff? I haven’t seen “I, Tonya,”yet...”
“Yes, since you ask. I’m goingto tamper with the brakes of afew of mine enemies becauseI’m the right arm and shield ofthe fallen archangel Lucifer. Oh,crap. I forgot milk.”

“As a certified planner, his vastknowledge of economics, land useand development plays a vital rolein lobbying for major developersto locate here,” said the Chamber’sintroduction. “Over the past year,Rick has assisted in promotingthe Alabama/Florida mega-site in
Campbellton. His vision is to at-tract key developers to the county,in order for locals to be able to pur-sue careers, not just jobs. Rick is aperson of character and we couldnot think of anyone more deservingof this honor.”
Chipola College President Dr.Sarah Clemmons and outgo-ing Jackson County Adminis-trator Ernie Padgett were alsonominated.
The Arthur L. Kimbrough BoardMember of the Year Award, whichis presented to the “board memberwho has exhibited excellent leader-ship qualities as well as going aboveand beyond to advance the mis-sion of the Chamber”, went to GeneStrickland and was presented byoutgoing Chamber Chairman Dar-win Gilmore.
Next, Past Chamber Chair SharetaWright took the stage to presentthe night’s most anticipated award,that for Citizen of the Year, whichwent to Ronstance Pittman.
Wright remarked on Pittman’swork to “protect Jackson County’swater supply by preventing the in-stallation of a waste water deep wellinjection system at the Waste Man-agement treatment facility nearCampbellton” and her involvementin activities to address commu-nity and economic development inMarianna’s West End, before invit-ing the 2017 Citizen of the Year totake the stage.
“I thank God for this award ... it istruly a blessing,” Pittman told theFloridan.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to be rec-ognized by my community,” sheadded. “I’m appreciative of the sup-port from my family and friends,the Jackson County NAACP, the Cityof Jacob, and the people of JacksonCounty. My aspiration is to be thebest version of me while impactingpeople’s lives in a positive way sothat one day my daughter’s grand-
children will say, ‘My great-grand-mother’s name was Ronstance Pitt-man. Let me tell you what she did.’”
Also nominated for the awardwere Raymond and BarbaraO’Quinn, Jane Powell and KeithWilliams.
The passing of the gavel betweenGilmore and incoming ChamberChair Martin Leon would close theevening, but awards were followedby an impressive presentation fromkeynote speaker Mike Schmitz,successful car dealer and now pop-ular elected official in Dothan, Ala-bama.
The Wisconsin native gave theChamber crowd and overview ofsteps he took as mayor of Dothanto bring county and city govern-ments together in an effort to growthe Wiregrass economy. Along theway, Schmitz used his love of fit-ness to help raise $100,000 for theWiregrass Children’s Home. Theaward-winning public servant isnow a member of the Dothan Busi-ness Hall of Fame.
Business and civic accomplish-ments, for Schmitz, came long aftera childhood that seemed to havehim pointed in a very different di-rection.
Orphaned and then adoptedat a young age, Schmitz said hispersonal issues began to presentthemselves as he entered school.“There was a hole in my heart,” hesaid, “and I couldn’t figure out why Iwasn’t good enough.”
Finding a new direction wasmade possible by the care and at-tention of his fifth-grade teacher,who taught him — finally — to read.Schmitz said he never got a chanceto thank her before she died, so heoffered a sincere “thank you” to allteachers and social workers in theaudience.
“God has a plan,” Schmitz said.“It’s not all about getting — it’s
about giving.”

“Perfect imperfec-tion” is a trend infurnishings and
decor.“It’s a return to the arti-
sanal and the crafted, withnarrative and meaning toobjects,” says Caroline Till,co-founder of the Londondesign studio FranklinTill.“Fingerprints of processand technique are part ofthe aesthetic appeal of thefinished item.”
Her studio got togetherlast year with trend re-searchers from across Eu-rope and the United Statesto see what’s percolatingin interior design, fashionand architecture. Theydisplayed their findings atthe recent internationaltextile fair Heimtextil inFrankfurt, Germany, anda published compilationis being used by design-ers as inspiration for newproducts.
“Perfect imperfection”was one of the design di-rections they identified.
One pavilion at the fairfeatured artisans workingon dyeing, weaving andother crafting methods.Barrels of inky blue dyestood next to woodenracks draped with cottonsthat had been given pat-tern or left to absorb thecolor naturally.
Till says indigo is a leadplayer on the artisanalstage.
“(It’s) embraced by a waveof contemporary brandsand designers as they revisitthe craft, celebrating theimperfections and gradu-ated hues,” she says.
Indigo pieces can befound in abundance at re-tailers this season. Arhaushas floor poufs wrappedin indigo-dyed, mud-print-patterned cotton.Indigo and white brush-strokes add an abstractindividuality to a classicNorfolk chair from AnnieSelke.
Houston designer Mar-garet Naeve is on boardwith the perfectly imper-fect look.
“From a messy bed tohandmade ceramics andmetalwork, I hope to seemore people looking forpieces that aren’t neces-sarily manicured,” shesays.
“I love curtains that areslightly wrinkled, andvintage African furniturethat’s one of a kind, obvi-ously handmade by anartisan. The idea of mixingpieces that aren’t perfectin a polished space excitesme,” Naeve says. “There’snothing more chic than asophisticated room styledwith loose florals and amessy throw, adding alevel of approachability tothe formality of a carefullydesigned space.”
Perfectly imperfect alsoreflects a 15th centuryJapanese aesthetic: wabisabi. Loosely translated,it refers to an apprecia-tion of the effects of time,and the humble beautyfound in things that areimpermanent, old, wornor incomplete.
We see it in the charmof rustic recycled wood,
wrinkly linens, and vin-tage pieces with patina.
It’s also evident in un-predictable and uniquefinishes, like reactive ordrip glazes, color-washedwalls, antiqued pieces anddistressed rugs.
Anthropologie’s springtabletop line includes ce-ramics from Portugal withpainterly drip and washglazes in gentle hues.
Feathers inspired a setof rugs by Spanish makerNanimarquina ; the free-form rugs each have theirown slight imperfectionsfrom the handmade pro-cess, and come in a softpalette of ivory, pale greenand stone.
Crate & Barrel’s Bring-ham iron vases meld asimple sculptural shapewith an aged-look finishof gray, bronze and silver.Grain-rich teak slabs areconnected with blackwire to create the Marcelwall art that’s organic andcontemporary.
A new wall art pieceat West Elm is crafted ofaluminum, with a texturalindigo finish creating awave pattern. Spring bed-
ding collections includesflax linen and cotton linencovers in calming hues ofpool, slate, blush and agentle gold shade calledhorseradish.
Inspired by an old wingchair stripped of its uphol-stery, furniture maker VanThiel & Co.’s collectionof deconstructed seatingand ottomans at Restora-tion Hardware exposesthe pieces’ walnut woodframes and burlap andcotton base covers.
Michelle Lamb, a mar-keting consultant andtrend forecaster for thehome furnishings indus-try, says she saw anotheraspect of the “imperfect”look at last fall’s HighPoint furniture market.“Fabrics that appearto have been repaired,sliced, cut-and-pierced ordefectively woven showthe mark of the makerin a very different way,”says Lamb, of The TrendCurve .
This relaxed way ofdecorating also extends toother aspects of the home.Leigh Spicher, nationaldirector of design stu-
dios for the homebuilderAshton Woods, in Roswell,Georgia, says it’s part of a
“slow living” trend.“People are returning
to a simpler lifestyle, and
it’s affecting every aspectof life, including homedesign,” she said.

Stores make push in scan-and-go tech, hope shoppers adopt itThe Associated Press
NEW YORK — Shop-pers at self-checkout lanesscanning all their groceriesafter they’re done shop-ping? Old school. Morestores are letting customertally their choices with aphone app or store deviceas they roam the aisles.
For customers, scanningas they go can be fasterand make it simpler tokeep track of spending. Forstores, the big expansionof this technology comingthis year costs less thaninstalling more self-check-outs.
Like many changes in re-tail, the expansion of scan-and-go comes from retail-ers trying to make storeshopping more convenientand hang on to customersused to Amazon, whichjust opened a cashier-lessstore in Seattle. And likeother automation tech-nologies, it shifts more ofthe work to shoppers whilefreeing up employees forhigher-value tasks. That’sespecially critical as storeslook for ways to make theirworkers more efficient asthey wrestle with risingwages.
The convenience ofscanning while she shopsis what Kari Malinak likes.She just started using thetechnology at a Walmart inFort Worth, Texas.
“I’m a persnickety shop-per,” Malinak said. “I can’tstand it when they bag myproduce. It gets all bruised.I like to have control. AndI like the quick and easyaspect.” She says she also
likes the idea of having arunning total of spendingas she shops.
The technology, whileslightly different fromchain to chain, allowsshoppers at stores likeKroger and B.J.’s WholesaleClub to scan UPC codes onitems as they shop. It canbe used for lots of productsbeyond just groceries, andpeople change their mindsabout something, they candelete items and changequantities before theycheck out.
Some stores allow pay-ment directly from thephone, with a greeter thenchecking over the digitalreceipt, while others re-quire shoppers to go toa self-checkout lane or a
kiosk to finalize their pur-chases.
A big push is comingthis year from big chains:Kroger Co., the nation’slargest traditional gro-cery chain, is adding thescan-and-go technologyto 400 stores. Walmart istesting the service in 120stores, while all its Sam’sClub stores, which num-ber around 600, have it.B.J.’s Wholesale Club haslaunched the service in ahandful of stores and plansto add it to about 100 clubsthis year.
One reason is that storesare investing less in theirself-checkout lanes andopting for scan-and-gotechnology that’s less ex-pensive because it doesn’t
need as much special hard-ware — just an app or thescanners, says Jason Gold-berg, senior vice presidentof commerce and contentpractice at consultinggroup SapientRazorfish.
But while some custom-ers feel comfortable scan-ning while shopping, plen-ty of others don’t.
“It’s a huge barrier formost retailers to get a con-sumer to download theirapp,” says Goldberg. Hesaid stores also need towork on letting shopperspay with their phones, socustomers don’t have to goto a kiosk to finalize theirpurchases.
Most executives wouldn’tsay what percent of theirtransactions come from
the service. But Dusty Lutzof retail technology com-pany NCR Corp., whichworks with major groceryclients, says scan-and-gomobile shopping accountsfor 5 to 15 percent of cus-tomer transactions, basedon an analysis of 40 retail-ers.
Walmart — which testedscan-and-go in a few storesin 2013 but ended the trialbecause shoppers foundthe technology too clunky— says the improved ser-vice is now the most pre-ferred checkout methodamong those who tested it.Sam’s Club says 80 percentof its members who use ituse it again within 90 daysand its scan & go transac-tions have doubled thisyear.
Some stores are enticingshoppers to spend moreby pinging them with cou-pons while they shop withthe phone. Executives fromB.J.’s and NCR say shop-pers are actually throwingmore in their cart with thisnew technology.
Still, not everything canbe scanned. At BJ’s clubs,jewelry and gift cards can’tbe scanned but can bepurchased at a pay station.Stores also have to be care-ful about theft. At Walmart,there’s an honor code whenshoppers scan the barcodeon the produce and enterin the weight. But the com-pany says some purchasesare randomly checked ontheir way through the ex-press lane.
And the technology thebig chains are using isn’tas effortless as the sensors
and automatic paymentat Amazon’s cashier-lessstores. There, shoppersenter by scanning theirphones. The store tech-nology itself keeps trackof what they pick up andcharges them after theyleave. It uses computer vi-sion, machine learningalgorithms and sensors toanalyze what people aregrabbing.
Amazon’s store isn’t with-out employees — thereare workers making food,stocking shelves and help-ing customers. And groceryexecutives say the scan-and-go services won’t elim-inate jobs — rather, somecashiers will move to otherparts of the store, like newonline pickup stations.
“I don’t see the death ofthe cashier,” said NCR’sLutz. “They will be doingthings that provide moreservice to the shopper.”
Stores declined to saywhether their ultimate goalwas to replicate Amazon’sGo technology, saying theplan is to keep investing inthe latest technology andimprove customers’ expe-rience.
“We’re trying to make ourtrips more convenient,”said Chris Baldwin, CEO ofBJ’s.
And for shoppers whofind it most convenientto go the traditional routewith a cashier scanningtheir purchases? “Our goalis to provide members witha variety of options so theycan check out howeverthey prefer,” said CarrieMcKnight, a Sam’s Clubspokeswoman.

For customers, scanning as they go can be faster and make it simpler to keep trackof spending.

NEW YORK — The maker ofCheerios also wants to fill dogbowls.
General Mills said Friday thatit plans to buy high-end petfood maker Blue Buffalo for
$8 billion. It’s a return to thepet business for the more than150-year-old company, whichused to sell food for cats, dogsand birds back in the 1950s. Andit joins other food makers inthe pet business: Fruit-spreadmaker The J.M. Smucker Co., for
example, owns Kibbles ‘n Bitsand Meow Mix.
The deal is also a way forGeneral Mills to further diversifyits business as more people seekless-processed foods, even fortheir furry friends.
“We’ve been serving all family
members” for years, said Gen-eral Mills CEO Jeff Harmening.“And pets are part of the family.”
General Mills, whose revenuehas fallen for three straightyears, has been buying up foodbrands with fewer artificialingredients as it deals with
dwindling demand for its cere-als and yogurt. In recent years,it bought Annie’s organic snacksand Epic meat bars made frombison, wild boar or lamb. TheMinneapolis-based also makesPillsbury dough, Yoplait yogurtand Lucky Charms cereal.

NEW YORK — U.S. com-panies are taking a closerlook at investments, co-branding deals and otherties to the gun industryand its public face, theNational Rifle Associa-tion, after the latest schoolmassacre.
Petitions are circulatingonline targeting compa-nies that offer discountsto NRA members on itswebsite. #BoycottNRA istrending on Twitter.
Members of the NRAhave access to special of-fers from partner compa-nies on its website, rang-ing from life insurance towine clubs. For a secondconsecutive day compa-nies listed on the site havecut ties to the NRA as itaggressively resists callsfor stricter gun control.
The insurance companyMetLife Inc. discontinuedits discount program withthe NRA on Friday. Thesoftware company Syman-tec Corp., which makesNorton Antivirus technol-ogy, did the same.
Those defections ar-rived a day after the carrental company EnterpriseHoldings, which also ownsAlamo and National, saidit was cutting off discountsfor NRA members. FirstNational Bank of Omaha,one of the nation’s largestprivately held banks, an-nounced that it would notrenew a co-branded Visacredit-card with the NRA.
NRA Executive VicePresident Wayne LaPierresaid this week at the Con-servative Political ActionConference, that thoseadvocating for stricter guncontrol are exploiting theFlorida shooting whichkilled 17 people, mostlyhigh-school students.
“Evil walks among usand God help us if wedon’t harden our schoolsand protect our kids,”
LaPierre said Thursday.“The whole idea fromsome of our opponentsthat armed security makesus less safe is completelyridiculous.”
President Donald Trumphas aligned himself withthe NRA, suggesting someteachers could be armedso that they could fire onany attacker.
U.S. corporations aremoving in the other direc-tion.
On Friday, a large WallStreet money managersaid that it wanted to en-gage with major weaponsmanufacturers about whatcomes next.
Blackrock Inc., whichmanages $6 trillion inassets, has become oneof the largest stakehold-ers gun manufacturerslike Sturm Ruger & Co.,American Outdoor BrandsCorp. and Vista OutdoorInc. through indirectinvestments. The moneyis placed in index funds,so Blackrock cannot sellshares of individual com-panies within the index.Its fund clients invest in
indexes that might con-tain companies like Ruger.
On Friday, spokesmanEd Sweeney says Black-rock will be “engagingwith weapons manufac-turers and distributors tounderstand their responseto recent events.”
Blackrock, through in-direct investments, holdsa 16.18 percent stake inSturm Ruger, an 11.91percent stake in Vista,and a 10.5 percent stakein American Outdoor,according to the data firmFactset.
Shares of gun companiesmostly fell in midday trad-ing Friday.

The Bay County Sheriff’s Officearrested a student of RosenwaldHigh School Tuesday after a teacherreported overhearing a conversa-tion between students that detailedanother student’s stated intentionsto conduct a shooting at the school.
According to a press release fromthat agency, BCSO crime investiga-tors responded to the school thatday and spoke with the teacher andthe students. The students report-edly told the investigator they hadheard Jaquez Burke make state-ments threatening to shoot up theschool so often over the past yearthat it had become commonplace,officials said.
Some students also alleged thatBurke had drawn a detailed blue-
print of the school with notes on itthat revealed his intention to putbombs in certain classrooms andshoot the students inside others.Investigators say Burke was knownon campus to point his fingers likea gun, aim at others, make shootingnoises, and then say, “Head shot.”According to students, Burke prom-ised his friends, “If I do it, I wouldn’tdo it to you.”
Contact was made with Burke,who initially denied having anyplans to conduct a shooting at theschool or ever making statementsabout it, authorities said. As theinterview progressed, Burke did re-portedly state he had been watchingthe media coverage of the shootingat Stoneman Douglas High Schoolin Parkland and believed “it was nobig deal.” Burke admitted to making
jokes about shooting at Rosenwald,officials said, and to making thestatement, “Keep talking, I’ll bringsomething to the school and showyou what’s up.” This statement wasallegedly made in the context of ashooting at school.
Officials say Burke later admittedto making drawings, but explainedthose were based on the videogame he played called “Grand TheftAuto.”
A consent search was done atJaquez Burke’s residence and nofirearms were found, or any explo-sive materials to build a bomb.
Burke, 17, was arrested andcharged with making a false reportconcerning the use of a firearm ina violent manner, a second-degreefelony offense. He was taken to De-partment of Juvenile Justice.

FORT LAUDERDALE — A promi-nent Florida eye doctor once ac-cused of bribing Democratic Sen.Bob Menendez of New Jersey re-ceived a 17-year sentence Thursdayfor stealing $73 million from Medi-care by persuading elderly patientsto undergo excruciating tests andtreatments they didn't need for dis-eases they didn't have.
Dr. Salomon Melgen was convict-ed of 67 crimes including health carefraud, submitting false claims andfalsifying records in patients' files.Prosecutors showed that between2008 and 2013, he became the na-tion's highest-paid Medicare doctor,building his practice by giving elder-ly patients unnecessary eye injec-tions and laser blasts on their retinasthat some compared to torture.
Melgen, 63, was ordered to pay$42.6 million in restitution to Medi-care and could be ordered to paymore in the future.
The sentencing came after fourdays of hearings spread over De-cember and January, with prosecu-tors arguing he stole $136 millionbut his attorneys insisting the prov-en total was $64,000. U.S. DistrictJudge Kenneth A. Marra said theevidence shows the theft was at least$73 million.
Marra could have given the Har-vard-trained, Dominican-born phy-sician a life sentence. Prosecutorshad been seeking 30 years. Defenseattorneys sought less than 10 and ar-gued that Melgen should be releasedimmediately with a sentence of timeserved. They plan to appeal.
Melgen has been in custody sincehis April 28 conviction. Separately,in November a federal jury in NewJersey hung after a 2 ½-month trialwhere prosecutors tried to proveMelgen's gifts to Menendez wereactually bribes. In return, they said,Menendez interceded with Medi-care officials investigating his prac-tice, obtained visas for Melgen's for-eign mistresses, and pressured theState Department to intervene ina business dispute he had with theDominican government.
Menendez and Melgen deniedwrongdoing, saying the Europeanand Dominican vacations and othergifts were tokens of their longtimefriendship. After a judge threw outsome of the charges, prosecutorsdecided Jan. 31 not to retry the brib-ery case.
During Melgen's two-monthMedicare fraud trial, prosecutorsargued that any doctor could makeoccasional billing mistakes, but Mel-gen's were too numerous to be hon-est. For example, Melgen frequently
billed Medicare for tests and treat-ment on the fake eyes of one-eyedpatients, as if they were real.
Prosecutors also pointed to teststhat should take five minutes ormore, yet were done in seconds,making them useless for diagnosis,but enabling Melgen to bill Medi-care up to several hundred dollarseach, for as many as 100 patients aday.
The doctor pocketed millions moreby splitting single-use vials of an ex-pensive eye drug into four doses —there was enough extra medicine ineach — and billing the governmentseparately for each injection, theysaid. Melgen's attorneys argued thatthis cost the government no extramoney, as Medicare would havepurchased four vials if he had fol-lowed the instructions.
Melgen became politically activein 1997, after treating Florida Demo-cratic Gov. Lawton Chiles, who ap-pointed him to a state board.
He was soon hosting Democraticfundraisers at his 6,500-square-footNorth Palm Beach home, and even-tually became friends with Menen-dez. Melgen paid for trips he and thesenator took to France and to thedoctor's home at a Dominican re-sort. Menendez reimbursed Melgen$58,500 after the trips became pub-lic knowledge.

The first treatment to help pre-vent serious allergic reactions topeanuts may be on the way. Acompany said Tuesday that itsdaily capsules of peanut flourhelped children tolerate nuts ina major study.
Millions of children have pea-nut allergies, and some mayhave life-threatening reactionsif accidentally exposed to them.Doctors have been testing dailydoses of peanut flour, containedin a capsule and sprinkled overfood, as a way to prevent that.
California-based Aimmune(AIM-yoon) Therapeutics said67 percent of kids who had itstreatment were able to toleratethe equivalent of roughly twopeanuts at the end of the study,compared to only 4 percent ofothers given a dummy powder.
The study involved nearly 500kids ages 4 to 17 with severe pea-nut allergies. They were giveneither capsules of peanut flouror a dummy powder in gradu-ally increasing amounts for sixmonths, then continued onthat final level for another sixmonths. Neither the partici-
pants nor their doctors knewwho was getting what until thestudy ended.
About 20 percent of kids get-ting the peanut powder droppedout of the study, 12 percent dueto reactions or other problems.
The results have not yet beenreviewed by independent ex-perts, but will be presented at amedical meeting next month.
The company plans to file forU.S. Food and Drug Administra-tion approval for the treatmentby the end of this year, and forapproval in Europe early nextyear.

NEW YORK — For families whohave searched years for missingloved ones, donating a sampleof their DNA is often a last, des-perate act to confirm their worstfears.
New York City’s medical ex-aminer is leading a nationwideeffort to collect genetic materialand match it with unidentifiedhuman remains. It’s a way to fi-nally give family members someanswers and maybe some sol-ace.
“People will not rest with-out answers, at least someanswers,” said Dr. BarbaraSampson, the city’s chief medi-cal examiner.
Over the last decade, thou-sands of DNA samples havebeen donated to the city’s medi-cal examiner’s office. Most in-clude swabs of saliva from closerelatives, but also DNA takenfrom items used by the miss-ing persons themselves, includ-ing toothbrushes, combs, razorblades and, once, even a sanitarynapkin.
They’ve led to the identifica-tion of about 50 missing peopleeach year, all of whom had beenfound dead. But for many whohave submitted samples, thewait continues.
“Part of you hopes they nevercall you, because if they call, thatmeans it’s over,” said Rose Cobo,who submitted DNA to the pro-gram after her adult niece van-ished in 2016 after being treatedat a Brooklyn hospital for post-partum depression following thebirth of a son. Chelsea Cobo’swhereabouts are still unknown.
The program helped end LuisMerchan’s quest to find his
younger brother, Manuel, whowas reported missing in 2015 af-ter he left his native Ecuador andcrossed the U.S. border fromMexico. DNA matched with theremains of a 35-year-old “JohnDoe” who succumbed to ex-posure and dehydration in theTexas desert.
“It’s sad,” Merchan said. “Wehoped Manuel would call oneday. But we at least know whathappened.”
On any given day, there are asmany as 100,000 active missing-persons cases in the U.S., ac-cording to the FBI’s NationalCrime Information Center. Mostof those people are eventuallyfound safe. The medical exam-iner’s office program is open topeople whose loved ones havebeen missing 60 days or more.
The New York City medicalexaminer’s office has been apioneer in advanced DNA tech-niques since 9/11, when it was
tasked with using genetic evi-dence to identify and sort tens ofthousands of small pieces of hu-man remains found in the rub-ble of the World Trade Center.
One such advance, Sampsonsaid, was learning how to getgood genetic material out ofbone fragments. DNA testingonce required a large sample ofblood or saliva that was often de-stroyed in the process. The latestgenetic technology allows a fewcells to be reproduced for DNAthat lasts indefinitely.
Pulverized genetic material isspun in a centrifuge and turnedinto a clear liquid that’s pouredinto test tubes on a robotic as-sembly line. The tubes are bar-coded and padlocked in metalcages in a secure vault.
Genetic profiles developedfrom the tests are plugged intothe databank called the Na-tional Missing and UnidentifiedPersons System. The system is
capable of searching for uniquesimilarities in DNA strings thatindicate two people are related.
“Our job is to help identifyyour loved one and return themto you, no matter where in theUnited States. They don’t have tohave died here in New York City,”says Mark Desire, assistant di-rector of the medical examiner’sDepartment of Forensic Biology.
Mary Lyall submitted her DNAto the New York City medicalexaminer, along with her hus-band’s, as part of her hunt for her
missing daughter.Suzy Lyall was 19 when she dis-
appeared in 1998. She was lastseen on the University at Albanycampus getting off a bus.
After she vanished, her mothersifted through her room at homelooking for clues. In a wastebas-ket, she found a sanitary napkinSuzy had wrapped and discard-ed amid crumpled paper.
Two decades later, no matchhas been made.
“I still look out the window andthink, ‘Where is she?’” Lyall said.

SAN FRANCISCO — Airb-nb is dispatching inspectorsto rate some of the proper-ties listed on its home-rentalservice in an effort to reas-sure travelers they’re book-ing nice places to stay.
The Plus program, un-veiled Thursday, is aimed atwinning over travelers whoaren’t sure they can trust thecurrent, computer-drivenanalysis of reviews posted bypast guests. The misleadingpictures drawn by Airbnb’srating system have becomea big enough problem tospawn a website devotedto horror stories spanningfrom an overcrowded, dirty“hippy commune “ in Pasa-dena, California, to a Parisvacation ruined in a moldy,bug-infested apartment.
Airbnb CEO Brian Cheskysays the company’s internalsurveys have found travel-ers willing to pay more forinspector-certified proper-ties, allowing homeownersand apartment dwellers torecoup a $149 fee to partici-pate in Plus.
Human inspectors will re-view properties based on a100-point checklist coveringeverything from the speedof the Wi-Fi to the bedding.Properties that fail can stillbe part of Airbnb’s regular
listings; the company willalso offer advice on im-provements to qualify.
The program will initiallycover about 2,000 proper-ties in 13 cities — Austin,Texas; Barcelona, Spain;Cape Town, South Africa;Chicago; Los Angeles; Lon-don; Melbourne, Australia;Milan; Rome; San Francisco;Shanghai, Sydney and To-ronto. That’s a small fractionof the roughly 4.5 millionproperties listed on Airbnbin 81,000 cities worldwide.By the end of the year,Chesky foresees verifying75,000 homes in 50 cities.
Airbnb is shaking thingsup at a time its growth hasbeen slowing, a trend thecompany would like to re-verse before it sells its stockin an initial public offeringexpected within the nexttwo years. Despite its popu-larity, Airbnb remains un-profitable, with a loss of $75million on revenue of nearly$2.6 billion last year, accord-ing to financial statementsreviewed by The Wall StreetJournal.
At an event in San Francis-co, Airbnb announced othersteps to become more like atraditional hospitality com-pany instead of an industryrenegade that has siphonedbusiness away from majorhotels. Frequent travelers
will quality for discountsand other perks. The com-pany also is adding otherrental categories, includingbed-and-breakfast inns andboutique hotels.
A major hotel industrygroup slammed Airbnb’s ex-pansion as a sham. “Airbnb’slatest scheme is just furtherproof the company is tryingto play in the hoteling spacewhile evading industry reg-ulations,” said Troy Flana-gan of the American Hotel& Lodging Association. “IfAirbnb wants to enter thehoteling business, then itneeds to be regulated, taxedand subject to the samesafety compliances.”
Airbnb’s success hasdrawn fire from city officialsupset about lost revenuefrom hotel taxes. It has alsostirred protests from long-time renters of homes thatare being converted intoshort-term places to stayinstead. Airbnb’s criticscontend the latter trend hasbeen making it even moredifficult to find a place to livein cities such as San Francis-co, where housing is alreadyscarce and expensive.
Airbnb argues it is en-abling more people to stayin their current homes byhelping them bring in moremoney whenever they wantto rent some space.

THIS WEEKEND
Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500Atlanta Motor Speedway ■ 1 p.m. Sunday ■ TV: FOX ■ Radio: PRN
More than 100,000people were in Daytona Beachlast weekend to witness avery entertaining race with asurprise winner with a historicangle.
And now the bad news:Nobody watched it on TV.Ratings for the Daytona
500 weredown anastonishing23 percentfrom lastyear. In fact,USA Todayreportedthe telecast
on FOX was down 50 percentfrom 12 years ago when therace was on NBC.
These are troubling num-bers, and with Monster Energyin its final season as the Cuptitle sponsor, there’s anominous feeling as the sportheads to Atlanta. This wouldbe a good week for Georgia-born Chase Elliott to start hislegacy.
That would sustain whatmomentum stock-car racinghas coming out of Daytonaand solidify the assumedyouth movement that NAS-CAR is pushing so hard as itsmarketing strategy.
Kyle Busch, who hatesNASCAR’s marketing strategy,would point out that a youngguy hasn’t won this race since,well, he did it himself in 2008as a 22-year-old. The onlydriver in his 20s to have wonit since? Kyle’s brother Kurt,who was 27 when he won atAtlanta in 2010.
This is a tough old trackthat has always chewedup tires and sheet metaland young drivers. Asmuch as NASCARneeds youngfaces to grabnew fans(and view-ers), this isprobablynot goingto bea goodweek forthat.

HARD’N’FASTED HARDIN(Greensboro)News & Record
By Jenna FryerThe Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Austin Dillon is stillcelebrating his Daytona500 victory and BubbaWallace is relishing his
sudden breakout as NASCAR’s new-est star.
Denny Hamlin? Well, he’s in themiddle of another feud, and it’s onlythe second week of the season.
NASCAR moves from theDaytona 500 this weekend
to Atlanta Motor Speedwaywith a bit of a hangoverfrom the biggest party of its
season.Hamlin earned a call to
the NASCAR hauler for acomment he made lastweek on the “BarstoolSports” podcast in whichhe claimed 70 percentof NASCAR drivers takethe prescription drug Ad-
derall to help with concen-tration.
Adderall is on NASCAR’sbanned substance list with-
out a doctor prescription.Hamlin claimed it was a joke
made on an irreverent podcast, butWallace didn’t let it go after nudg-ing Hamlin for second place in theDaytona 500. The two raced door-to-door to the finish, and Hamlinhas repeatedly said the contact cuthis tire.
But after his historic second-placefinish — Wallace was the first blackdriver in the Daytona 500 field since1969 — he took a shot at Hamlin forthe final lap racing that in Hamlin’smind went too far.
“He might need to take some Ad-derall for that one,” Wallace said onthe Fox broadcast after he climbedfrom his car.
Told of the crack in his post-racenews conference, Hamlin againmaintained Wallace’s contact hadcut his tire. He didn’t respond to theAdderall mention and exited theroom.
Once outside the media center, hebumped into Wallace, and the twohad a brief but heated exchange.
Public sentiment is on Wallace’sside — few fans have forgiven Ham-lin since he wrecked Chase Elliott atMartinsville last fall — and Hamlinangrily took to Twitter.
Hamlin late Tuesday night calledhis Twitter critics “idiots,” andexplained his problem was the finalquestion of his news conference,
when he was asked for a responseto Wallace’s remark.
“I had no issue until not only didhe place blame on me but thenwent on to make personal com-ments about myself. I left the mediacenter and saw Bubba 30 secs later,”Hamlin posted in a series of tweets.
“Anyone who wouldn’t take of-fense to the stupid things that wassaid has absolutely no backbone. Ihave one,” he concluded.
Wallace was dubious of Hamlin’stake on the last-lap racing onSunday night, but believed the twowould move on to Atlanta and befine. He did, however, wonder if hewas going to be kicked out of theHamlin-led recreational basketballand golf leagues.
Turns out, though, that it wasn’tjust NASCAR that was annoyed withHamlin’s Adderall assessment.
Kevin Harvick noted plenty ofdrivers are upset with Hamlin.
“Those 70 percent of drivers hereferred to are mad,” Harvick said.“Whether he thinks it was an off-the-cuff comment and somethinghe meant to say or not to say, it stilloffended most everybody in the ga-rage. If you’re going to play around,joking and think it’s not somethingthat everybody is going to take of-fense to. I think he’s probably seeingthat nobody really appreciated itand it put everybody in a bad spot.”
Yes, a different driverwon the race — AustinDillon with a move of
which the guy who drove theNo. 3 two decades ago wouldhave been proud.
However, Darrell “Bubba”Wallace proved he belongedon NASCAR’s biggest stagewith his remarkable runner-upfinish. His performance afterthe race was even better, as theemotions of what he accom-plished hit him while sur-
rounded by his family and laterin the media center.
I know some hate to see ath-letes react after big moments,but that’s what make sports somuch fun to watch. That’s whatmade Matt Kenseth’s win atPhoenix last year so enjoyable— seeing a guy who had beena machine for much of his Cup
career allowing everyone to seewhat his (likely) final careerCup win meant to him.
Based on the reaction of Twit-ter, Wallace’s wide-open perfor-mance was well-received, withmany writing they found a newfavorite driver.

Richard Childress Racingplayed host Wednesday to ayoung boy who gave Dillon the
penny he glued to his dash-board before Sunday’s race.
If this scenario soundsfamiliar, Dale Earnhardt didthe same thing in 1998, gluinga penny from a girl to his No. 3car before his only win in the500.
Dillon had met the boy— named Jordan — at an auto-graph signing before The Clashand gave him an autographedhat to replace the white Fordhat Jordan had been wearing.
“I said, man, you’ve got totake that (hat) off,” Dillon — aChevy driver — recalled in theDaytona media center Sundaynight. “I signed my hat, gave itto him, and said, now, look, I’vegot to be your favorite driver,right?”
Jordan’s visit to RCR onWednesday included sittingin one of the cars and spend-ing time with both Dillon andWallace, a Chevrolet driver forRichard Petty Motorsports.

New details of paymentsto players in a federal in-vestigation that has lurkedin the shadows since firstrocking college basketballlast fall mark the latestthreat to the sport’s basicfoundation, showing thebreadth of alleged corrup-tion.
Bank records and otherexpense reports that arepart of the investigation lista wide range of impermis-sible payments from agentsto at least two dozen play-ers or their relatives, ac-cording to documents ob-tained by Yahoo Sports.
The depth of the vio-lations raises questionsabout the structure of col-lege athletics, a businessfunded primarily throughcollege football and basket-ball, including $19.6 billionin TV money for the NCAATournament over the past22 years — a hoops extrav-aganza for American sportsfans known as March Mad-ness.
NCAA President MarkEmmert said in a statementFriday the allegations “iftrue, point to systematicfailures that must be fixedand fixed now if we wantcollege sports in America.”
Yahoo said Friday thatthe documents obtained indiscovery during the inves-tigation link current playersincluding Michigan State’sMiles Bridges, Duke’s Wen-dell Carter and Alabama’sCollin Sexton to potentialbenefits that would be vio-lations of NCAA rules. Ac-cording to the report, play-ers over the past severalyears and family membersallegedly received cash,entertainment and travelexpenses from former NBAagent Andy Miller and hisagency ASM Sports. Lineitems in four pages of doc-uments released by Yahooshowed some five-figurepayments and two dinnersfor less than $40 each.
Don Jackson, an Ala-bama-based attorney whohas worked on numerouscollege eligibility cases,said the root of the prob-lem for the NCAA is thatits model of amateurismdoesn’t work.
“This problem can besolved if players are com-pensated,” Jackson said.“The NCAA is not capableof adequately policingtens of thousands of ath-letes around the countryto determine whether ornot they have violated theNCAA’s model of amateur-ism.
“We’re talking about insome instances kids receiv-ing $30 meals from agents,”Jackson said.
A balance sheet from De-cember 2015 lists severalpayments under “Loan toPlayers,” including $43,500to Dallas Mavericks guardDennis Smith, who playedone season at North Caro-lina State in 2016-17. An-other document says Smithreceived a total of $73,500in loans, and indicated op-tions to recoup the moneyafter Smith didn’t sign withASM.
N.C. State athletic direc-tor Debbie Yow said theschool disassociated itselffrom Miller in 2012, sayingthe agent’s close work witha youth coach created avulnerability for the school“that we cannot tolerate.”
IsaiahWhitehead, a guardfor the Brooklyn Nets, re-ceived $26,136 while afreshman at Seton Hall, ac-cording to the documents.He received $37,657 andwas setting up a paymentplan, according to anoth-er document. Whiteheadsigned with ASM but laterleft the agency. A balancesheet also said Tim Quar-terman, now playing forthe Agua Caliente Clip-pers of the NBA G League,received at least $16,000while a junior at LSU.
The story says severalfamilies of players or han-dlers received more than$1,000 in payments fromASM Sports before turning
professional.Apple Jones, the mother
of former Kansas playerJosh Jackson, received$2,700, and current South-ern California player Ben-nie Boatwright or his fatherBennie Sr., received at least$2,000, according to docu-ments.
The story says the motherof Bridges received hun-dreds of dollars in advanc-es. Current Kentucky playerKevin Knox, Carter andSexton are listed amongplayers or families meetingor having meals with for-mer ASM Sports associateChristian Dawkins.
Coaches and athletic of-ficials at several schools,including Clemson, NorthCarolina State, South Caro-lina, Southern Californiaand Utah, said they didnot know of the allegedpayments until Yahoo’sreport was released, butpledged to cooperate in anyinvestigation. Kentuckycoach John Calipari saidneither he nor his staff usedMiller or any other agent toprovide financial benefitsto student athletes.
“Unethical agents havebeen an issue in collegeathletics — particularlymen’s basketball and foot-ball — for many years de-spite repeated educationalefforts by the schools,”Utah athletic director ChrisHill said. “Personally, I wel-come the scrutiny on thesport of men’s basketballbecause the behavior ofsome agents, along withreports of other illegal re-cruiting activities, is hurt-ing the sport. Coach (Larry)Krystkowiak has a greatdeal of integrity and runsa clean program, but thissituation shows there areareas outside a coach’s con-trol that need to be fixed.”
Tennessee coach RickBarnes said he isn’t sur-prised by anything thathappens in college hoops.
“We can sit here and talkabout it for days on end if
we wanted to, all the thingsthat have gone on in col-lege basketball,” Barnessaid. “I’m not surprised byany of it.”
Lawyers for two of the 10defendants arrested in thefederal cases said it wasinappropriate for Yahoo tohave the documents.
“This leak is disgraceful,”said Jeffrey Lichtman, whorepresents former SouthernCalifornia assistant basket-ball coach Tony Bland, whowas fired last month afterhis arrest. Bland is accusedof receiving a $13,000 bribefor steering the team’s play-ers to an agent and finan-cial adviser when they be-came professionals. Blandpleaded not guilty in No-vember to charges relatedto bribery and wire fraud.
“An effort was clearlymade to embarrass somedefendants and cast asper-sions on some current stu-dent athletes whose only‘crime’ may be that theirrelatives didn’t reimbursean agent for a single steakdinner,” Lichtman said.
Steven Haney, Sr., whorepresents sports agentChristian Dawkins, a for-
mer ASM associate, saidthe report doesn’t meanthat Dawkins committedcrimes as an unlicensedemployee of a sports agen-cy.
“In the most simple of le-gal terms; prove it,” Haneysaid in an email.
Jackson said the NCAAor the schools would need
to conduct their own in-vestigations as opposed tomaking any rulings basedon the documents from theFBI probe.
“They can’t just automat-ically accept the credibilityof this document,” the Ala-bama-based attorney said.
Emmert said the NCAABoard of Governors and re-
cently formed independentCommission on CollegeBasketball are committedto “making transforma-tional changes” and willcooperate with the federalprosecutors to “identifyand punish the unscrupu-lous parties seeking to ex-ploit the system throughcriminal acts.”

HAMPTON, Ga. — Dar-rell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. wasthe hot topic even as KyleBusch won the pole Fridayat Atlanta Motor Speed-way.
Busch will start in frontSunday in the second raceof the NASCAR MonsterEnergy Cup season afteredging Ryan Newman in aclose battle.
Busch overcame han-dling problems in the firsttwo rounds of qualifying towin the pole with a lap of184.652 mph in the thirdround. Busch won his 28thcareer pole, and his first atAtlanta.
Busch beat Newman’s184.419 mph.
Wallace will start 19th,in the middle of the 36-car field. Much of the talkFriday remained on hissecond-place finish in lastweek’s Daytona 500 .
Wallace was the firstblack driver in the Day-
tona 500 field since 1969. The second-place finishwas the highest for a blackdriver and any rookie.
“It was just crazy, awe-some,” Wallace said Friday.
On Sunday, he’ll be thefirst black Cup racer in anAtlanta race since Bill Les-ter finished 38th in 2006.
Ryan Blaney, who willstart 26th, revealed Fridaythat last week Dale Earn-hardt Jr . was so worriedabout Wallace that he ar-ranged for Blaney to pro-vide counsel for the rookie.
“He was like ‘Hey, I needyou to go call Bubba andcalm him down because Ithink he was getting over-whelmed with all the me-dia and the pressure thatwas kind of being thrownupon him and we haven’teven gotten started yet,’”Ryan Blaney said.
Blaney, who is friendswith both Earnhardt andWallace, said he encour-aged Wallace to enjoy the“well-deserved opportu-
nity.”Blaney said the second-
place finish proved Wallace“dealt with it really well.”
Kevin Harvick qualifiedthird, followed by DanielSuarez. Defending cham-pion Brad Keselowski qual-ified fifth. Austin Dillon,coming off the win at Day-tona, will start 25th.
Defending NASCAR Cupchampion Martin Truexwill start 35th after his cardid not pass inspection. Asa penalty, car chief BlakeHarris was suspended forthe weekend and a 30-min-ute practice hold will beenforced on Saturday.
Wallace finished sixth inAtlanta’s Xfinity race last
year.“This will be my first time
in Atlanta in a Cup car,”he said. “I know how thisplace is in an Xfinity carand it’s not any fun, wellit’s a lot of fun, don’t get mewrong, but hanging ontothat thing is a challenge.I’m looking forward to it.”
Wallace’s boss, teamowner Richard Petty, saidthe rookie is adjusting justfine.
“No, he don’t feel like he’sa rookie,” Petty said. “... Ithink he fell in really goodwith the guys who havebeen there for a long timebecause so far he hasn’tdone anything really stu-pid. As long as we keep himstraight, he’ll be OK.”
The strong showing atDaytona solidified the sta-tus of Wallace, 24, as a ris-ing star in NASCAR.
Atlanta Motor Speedwaypresident Ed Clark saidcalls to his ticket office thisweek were dominated byfans expressing interest in
Wallace.“He’s going to be great,”
Clark said.Blaney and Wallace have
been friends since the two10-year-old boys racedBandolero cars together.
Blaney said he believesWallace “can have a hugeimpact” on the 43 Chev-rolet and “grow it to placesit hasn’t been in recentyears.”
The only distraction forWallace is a feud with Den-ny Hamlin. Wallace saidFriday he has been exclud-ed from Hamlin’s informalgolf league, which includesa few other NASCAR driv-ers. Wallace added “I re-moved myself” from Ham-lin’s basketball league.
The problems betweenthe two began last weekwhen Wallace objected towhat Hamlin said was in-tended to be a joke whenhe claimed 70 percent ofNASCAR drivers take theprescription drug Adderallto help with concentration.
Kyle Busch wins Atlanta pole, Wallace still in spotlight

It’s hard to truly prepare for howchallenging life can be. Sure,there aremoments of pure joy,
but the endless layering of respon-sibilities and bills makes it difficultto remain optimistic. It’s easy tofall behind, to become lost withinawhirlwind of debt and to learn,in thosemoments, that thosewhoyou thoughtwould be there foryou are no longer around.
This is particularly true forwomen,who,despite the effortsof various feminist waves, stillstrugglewith being perceived as“nice”while attempting to bestrong-willed and self-reliant.Rather than continue to sufferthese challenges, threemothersfrom various backgrounds arekicking hardship to the curbwhen“GoodGirls”premieresMonday, Feb.26,onNBC.
“GoodGirls”centersaround the lives of three sub-urbanmoms,each strug-gling to keep her family andfinances afloat.Beth(Christina Hendricks,“MadMen”) contendswith an unfaithful hus-band,Dean (MatthewLillard,“Twin Peaks”),who all too easilyseems tomisplace ormisuse the family fi-nances.Annie (MaeWhitman,“Parent-hood”),Beth’s littlesister,worksway toohard for far too little ata supermarket, tryingto provide for herselfand her child.Ruby(Retta,“Parks and Rec-reation”),Beth’s life-long friend, knows ex-actly the kind ofmedicaltreatment her daughterneeds,but the cost isseemingly insurmount-
able for her and her husband,Stan(RenoWilson,“Mike&Molly”).
When it all becomes toomuch,thesemommas and best friendsdevise amaster plan: rob the lo-cal supermarket andwalkawaywith $30,000.Thingsgo a little too easily, how-ever, and the ladieswindupwith a lotmoredough than they’d antic-ipated,alongwith somenew challenges.
Initially, the seriesseems a bit difficult toplace.A first lookmakes itseem as though it
will be a standard sitcom,but thedepth to the showmakes it moreakin,perhaps, to a crime dramedy.The humor acts as a bit of relief
from the difficultiesthesewomen arefacing, challengesnot simply boundto gender andrelatable to alarge segment ofNorthAmerica’sworking class.With sleek pro-duction and aplot built on ac-tion, emotion and
a nice dash ofsarcasm,
“GoodGirls” is as intriguing as itis inviting.
Despite beingabroadly relat-able show,the emphasis on fe-males and the lives ofwomen isclear and cannot bedenied.Cre-ator and screenwriter JennaBans,known for herwork onboth“Grey’sAnatomy”and“Scandal,”hada clear vision for“GoodGirls.”While discussing the series duringanNBCpromo,Bans delved intothe concept behind the show:
“What I really tried to get atwith this script is the ideaof femaleempowerment—the idea thatyouwakeup,as awoman in yourlate 30s,early 40s,andgo,‘OhmyGod,where didmypower go?’Whether it’s having abunchof kids,or a husband that doesn’t really seeyouanymore,or these financial re-strictions that thesewomenareunder.”
This desire to see real, com-plex relationships betweenwomen come to life on the smallscreenwas a huge driving forcefor Bans.The fact that the relat-ability factor is so high,despitethe fact thatmostwomenwillnever commit a robbery to re-solve their own financial andmaritalwoes, speaks to thecare Bans has put into the de-velopment of“GoodGirls.”
These sentiments are deep-ly reflective ofmodern times,as even the show’s title itselfforces viewers to re-examinetheir notions ofwhat itmeans to be“good girls.”Rather than shying away andcommitting to outdated ste-reotypes,womenare increas-ingly opening up about thechallenges and traumathey’ve faced,alongwith theneed formore visible,em-powered rolemodels.
While discussing the serieswithNBC’s promotional
team,Whitmanexplained“GoodGirls”achieves this,as it is“agreatshow,with excellentwomenat thehelmof it,”and it’s beena longtime coming“for there to bewaymore showswith the females be-ing the leads ...especially rightnow,with everything that’s goingon.”ForWhitman,there’s“neverbeenamore important time forthere to be strong, independent,quirky, interesting,different, real,fullwomen,telling their stories andbeingheard.”
Thepotential for successwith“GoodGirls” is notmerely in itshistorically relevant timing,but thefact that thesewomen truly are re-flective of the lives somanywomenleaddaily.To have a serieswillingto encourage support and solidari-ty over catfights and jealousy is re-flective of howbroad-reaching so-cial change canbe.Womenare
standingupanddemanding to beheard, just as Beth,Annie andRuthare demanding to have controlover their own lives, finances andfamilies’ futures.
It seems unfortunate that femi-nism has had to experience somanywaves, yet so little erosionhas occurred along the shoreline.Thankfully, thewatermay finallybe carving out the stones of resis-tance,withmore andmorewom-en taking the helm of productionson both the big and small screen.It’s important to remember,how-ever, that this series and other fe-male-led productions aren’t look-ing for a takeover, rather simplydesiring for acceptance and re-spect.Ambitious, engaging andhumorous,“GoodGirls” is oncourse tomake quite the impactwhen the series premieresMon-day, Feb.26,onNBC.

Kids aren’t generallyknown for their refinedpalates or willingness to
explore their culinary options.Sure, there are exceptions outthere, but the little ones I knowall love their fish-shaped crack-ers, hotdogs and peanut butterand jelly sandwiches—withthe crust cut off of the bread, ofcourse.
Those exceptions, though,can really be something else,especially when they combinethose refined tastes with thekitchen skills to back them up,as every season of “MasterChefJunior” reminds us.A new sea-son of the culinary competitionpremieres Friday,March 2, onFox, with a fresh batch of ex-ceptional youngsters eager totest their skills and their tastebuds to the panel of three judg-es.
That’s right— three judges.Longtime fans of the showmight remember that last sea-son featured only two perma-nent members on the judgingpanel: chefs Gordon Ramsay(who’s been with the seriessince its inception) and Christi-na Tosi (who joined in season4).A rotating slate of guestsrounded out the judging trio,but this season features a re-turn to three permanent judges— and the third one has a fa-miliar face. Joe Bastianich, whoserved alongside Ramsay in“MasterChef Junior’s” firstthree seasons, stages a returnto the front of the kitchen forthis year’s competition.
Far more than in its parentshow“MasterChef,”“Junior”features all three judges toning
down the toughness and crank-ing up the affection for thechefs-in-training competing fora big cash prize. Culinary mis-takes are met with helpful ad-vice, and even Ramsay’s infa-mous temper is somehow keptin check; he can even come
across as a softie, if you can be-lieve it!
The result is one of the mostpleasant cooking competitionson television.Watching a kidsear a fillet or bake a souffléwith far more talent, skill andcompetence than most adulthome cooks could ever pull offis a joy, and the series has leftby the wayside the bickeringand scheming that’s all toocommon in reality series star-ring adults.
And that’s really all “Mas-terChef Junior” is at its core:extremely talented kids show-ing off their technical skillswhile three helpful adults lookon.The new season of “Mas-terChef Junior,” featuring thereturn of Joe Bastianich, pre-mieres Friday,March 2, on Fox.
Another helping: Joe Bastianichreturns to ‘MasterChef Junior’

Q:Does“Glee”have togetpermission fromartists to dotheir songs?
A:Oh yes,andbackwhen“Glee”wasan internationalmusicindustry phenomenon, it hadmusicindustry players rubbing theirhands togetherwith,well,glee.
Youprobably recall that backwhen itwas at thepeakof its rat-ings success, the hit Fox serieswasalso churningout radio hits,sound-track albums, live performancetours andmore.All of those consti-tute different“plays”from theper-spective of themusic industry,andeach typeof play has adifferentdollar value attached to it in theagreement signedbefore an epi-sode even starts filming.
“For a songwriter or amusicpublisher,‘Glee’ is a goldmine,”Jeff Brabec,vice-president of busi-ness affairs formusic publisher
Chrysalis, said in an interviewwithMTVNews.“It touches almost ev-ery single source of income that’spossible.”
Thatmention of the publisher isan interesting point.Depending onthe dealmusicians cutwith theirrecord label and/or publisher, theymay not be the ones granting per-mission for the use of their songs.Itmay be up to the publisher en-tirely.
But sometimes the artists are in-volved,which becameevidentwhenpermissionwasnot granted.Artists such asGorillaz andKings ofLeon refused to allow their songsto appear on the show,withGoril-laz frontmanDamonAlbarn callingthe show’s performances“a verypoor substitute for the real thing.”
Q: Is CesarMillan going tohavenewseasons of anyof hisshows?
A:At themoment,no,but itseemspretty certain someone’s go-
ing toget back into theCesarMillan business soon.
TV is in themidst of its first Ce-sar-free period since the fameddogtrainer hit the airwaves in 2004with“TheDogWhisperer.”Thatshow ran for awhopping12 yearsuntil its end in 2016,butMillan’shadnumerous other showsonatthe same timeand since.
Hismost recent series,“CesarMillan’sDogNation,”airedonNatGeoWild for a short season lastspring,but it hasn’t beenheardofagain.
The cable channel has since heldits upfront presentation, inwhich itinformspotential advertisers of itsprogramming for the coming year,and“DogNation”wasn’t includedin it.That’s not necessarily a cancel-lation,but it sure looks like one.
It’s also pretty likely that beforelong,eitherMillan or someoneatoneof the cable networkswill
comeupwith anew,slightly differ-ent premise to get himbackonTV.
In themeantime,wemay soonseehim in very different circum-stances indeed. Industry news siteDeadline.comannounced lastMaythatOscar-nominated screenwriterJoseRivera is partneringwith pro-duction companyMuchoMasMe-dia to produce abiopic ofMillan,whom the companydescribes astheman“whohas inspired andtaught humanshow to connectwith their natural instinct to createharmony for dogs around theworld.”There’s nowordonwhowill be playing themanhimself.
Q: I’mwondering if aDVDofthemovie“TheHolly and theIvy” is available inNorthAmeri-ca.Theonly one I can find issold in theU.K.and can’t beplayedhere.
A:The short, and very unhelpful
answer to your question is: I’mnot sure.
What I know is that it is indeedhard to findNorthAmericanDVDversions of“TheHolly and the Ivy”(1952). I also know that there are acouple of sites that claim tobe sell-ingNorthAmerican (also knownasRegion1) versions,but if you lookhard enoughon the internet,youcan find someone claiming to sellunicorn fur, too.
The fact that noneof themajorretailers —which you’ve probablyalready checked —don’t seem tohave copies suggests perhaps theclaims are false.Youhave to askyourself howBobsRareMovies.biz(not a real site) has a copywhen,say,Amazondoesn’t.
That’s not to say theother sitesare lying —there are perfectlygood reasonswhy theymight havea copywhile themajors don’t —but youdoneed tobe careful,and,unfortunately, that usuallymeansbeing suspicious.
Oneof the reasons smaller sitesmight stock somethingbigger onesdon’t is supply anddemand,whichis the economic lawatwork here.
“The Holly and the Ivy” is a bigdeal in Europe, the land of Region2 DVD players, but it isn’t verywell known over here.Thus, it maybe that the company that ownsthe distribution rights (Frenchme-
dia giant StudioCanal) has pro-duced a Region 1 version, but themajor retailers over here haven’tbothered to stock it because theydon’t think it would sell. Unfortu-nately, the deals that distributorslike StudioCanal havewith theirretailers generally mean theywon’t sell their wares directly tothe public, so we can’t know thisfor sure.
Iwish I hadamore concrete an-swer for youon this one.Thebestadvice I canoffer is either take achanceononeof the smaller guys(after looking around for customerreviews),or splurge a little ona re-gionlessDVDplayer (whichwouldbequite a bit easier to find).

Tickets to the State of the Union had to be reprinted afterthey originally said State of the “Uniom.” Even the guywho sent that false missile alert in Hawaii was like, “Howdo you mess that up?”
Yesterday, a glitch kept sending iPhones the same CNNnews alert over and over again. But if I wanted to beannoyed by the same CNN news alert over and over, I’djust watch CNN for five minutes.
I saw that on StubHub there’s a Super Bowl ticket listedat over $66,000. And the person who buys it will get tothe stadium and say, “$10 for a beer? That’s crazy!”
Sunday is also the Kitten Bowl on the Hallmark Channel.It’ll feature the Little Longtails going up against theirrival: a red laser pointer.

The Late Late Show WithJames CordenA flight from Norway to Germany that was carrying 84plumbers to a work conference had to turn back because,get this, the plane’s toilet wasn’t working. The only waythis could be more ironic is if the plane had 84 plumbersand Alanis Morissette.
Former Trump staffer and one-time “Apprentice”contestant Omarosa took a new gig this week. It wasannounced she will be joining the cast of “Celebrity BigBrother.” From Trump’s White House to CBS’s “BigBrother” house — by any standard that’s a promotion.
I’m sure you all know the Super Bowl is this Sunday, andPresident Trump has decided he won’t be taking part in adecade-old tradition of sitting down to do an interviewbefore the big game.Which is fine with me. I can’t standthose casual football fans who only watch the Super Bowlfor the presidential interviews.
