Forrest Memorial to get new owner the sale of the cemetery by public bid, the Secretary of State’s Office announced on Tuesday. The deadline is 5 p.m. May 8 for sealed bids to be submitted to Chancery Clerk Bobby Marolt, and bids will be opened no later than May 11.

More than three years after going into receivership, Forrest Memorial Park will have the opportunity to get new ownership. A chancery judge has ordered

“We are hopeful this sale will restore stability and bring closure to families who have loved ones buried at Forrest Memorial Park,” said Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann. “Our ultimate goal was for this cemetery to be placed in private owner-

ship. This sale is the final step towards that goal.” The cemetery includes 12.5 acres of land on Highway 45 south of Corinth. The sale includes real property only and does not include the contractual obligations of the former

owners. Costs such as closing, surveying and legal fees will be the responsibility of the buyer. An investigation by the Secretary of State’s Office in 2011 found the cemetery’s pre-need Please see PARK | 3A

Students learn art of mandalas Cost-share project helping to improve landowner resources

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Encouraging creativity and a life-long love of art, local artist Judith Lowery visited the 3rd graders at Biggersville and Rienzi Elementary Schools on Tuesday for a very special project. “Each year, local artists, art teachers and their students take time at all six elementary schools in Corinth and Alcorn County to teach hands-on visual art activities as part of LINK’s Artists in the Schools project,” said LINK President Laura Gilham. With scented markers, stickers, hand wipes, glue and construction paper in tow, Lowery arrived at the schools with a simple yet dramatic assignment in mind. “Today we are making mandalas which are colorful geometric designs,” said Lowery. “Once the students have shaded and embellished their mandalas with stickers, they will then be cut out and backed with coordinating construction paper to resemble a matted piece of art.” “I chose the mandalas because I thought it would be a quick, easy and entertaining project,” she added. Derived from the Sanskrit meaning “circle”, mandalas have been employed in cultures throughout the world and come in many unique designs and shapes. As she supervised the progress of Andrea Coleman’s 3rd grade class at BES, the art enthusiast couldn’t resist the chance to test the art knowl-

Landowners are happy. The cost-share program of the Alcorn County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is the reason behind their happiness. The Tarebreeches Creek program has helped producers protect and improve soil and water resources within the watershed. “The program helped me repair eroded areas in the field

where heavy rains had caused some major gullies,” said local landowner David Rainey. “Installing these conservation practices allowed me to continue working the land I had backed away from earlier last year.” A Section 319 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency provided funds for the program.

3 congregations celebrate together BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Thursday will not just be another day for a trio of local congregations. First United Methodist Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Mt. Moriah United Methodist Church will celebrate Maundy Thursday of Passion Week with a 6 p.m. service at FUMC. “I am excited about Maundy Thursday this year because we have expanded our service by inviting Mt. Moriah and Rev. James Dye to participate,” said FUMC Rev. Roger Shock. “Rev. Ann Fraser will be sharing the sermon this year and I always look forward to her words of inspiration.” First Methodist and St. Paul’s have combined for the celebration the last five years. Mt. Moriah is part of the event for

a first time this year as the church’s observe Jesus’ celebration of the Passover with His disciples. “We are even talking about having the service next year at Mt. Moriah United Methodist Church,” said Shock. Rev. Fraser also preached the service when the two churches partnered in 2011. She and retired FUMC minister Dr. Prentiss “Bud” Gordon planned the first combined service which was held at First Methodist. “It’s been fun for our congregations to get to know one another over time … we’ve done a Lessons and Carols service with First Methodist in December for several years too,” said Rev. Fraser. “It also means a lot to begin to get to know Mt. Please see SERVICE | 3A

Today in History Today is Wednesday, April 1, the 91st day of 2015. There are 274 days left in the year. This is April Fool’s Day.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 1, 1945, American forces launched the amphibious invasion of Okinawa during World War II. (U.S. forces succeeded in capturing the Japanese island on June 22.)

On this date: In 1789, the U.S. House of Representatives held its first full meeting in New York; Frederick Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania was elected the first House speaker. In 1865, during the Civil War, Union forces led by Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan routed Confederate soldiers under the command of Maj. Gen. George Pickett in the Battle of Five Forks in Virginia. In 1924, Adolf Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch in Munich. (Hitler was released in Dec. 1924; during his time behind bars, he wrote his autobiographical screed, “Mein Kampf.”) In 1933, Nazi Germany staged a daylong national boycott of Jewishowned businesses. In 1970, President Richard M. Nixon signed a measure banning cigarette advertising on radio and television, to take effect after Jan. 1, 1971. In 1972, the first Major League Baseball players’ strike began; it lasted 12 days. In 1975, with Khmer Rouge guerrillas closing in, Cambodian President Lon Nol resigned and fled into exile, spending the rest of his life in the United States.

One year ago: Mocking his critics, President Barack Obama boasted that 7.1 million people had signed up for his health care law, and said “the debate over repealing this law is over.”

commission was organized to assist local soil and water conservation districts with programs to help local farmers improve and protect soil and water quality in their respective counties. “I know this work will have a positive environmental impact to Tarebreeches Creek which is good because I grew up along the creek and want to see it protected for future generations,” said Rainey. The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality has been monitoring this watershed’s water quality for the past three years to obtain levels of fecal coliform, nitrates and phosphates and sediment.

JACKSON — A bill headed to Gov. Phil Bryant’s desk would establish a group to study whether Mississippi should modify or walk away from Common Core academic standards. The House and Senate on Tuesday both passed the final version of Senate Bill 2161. Bryant spokeswoman Nicole Webb said the governor will review the bill before deciding whether to sign it into law. If he signs it, a 15-member commission would make recommendations about academic standards to the state Board of Education by December. The recommendations could be anything from minor additions, such as requiring that schools teach cursive writing, to a major overhaul, Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, said during a Senate debate Tuesday. Mississippi has spent millions of dollars implementing Common Core, which

seeks to teach students to think more analytically. The state Department of Education, however, does not use the Common Core label. Instead, it refers to Mississippi College and Career Ready Standards. Supporters of Common Core see it as a way to increase academic achievement, but conservative opponents, including Republican Bryant, say they fear Common Core could lead to too much federal intervention in Mississippi schools. Sen. David Jordan, DGreenwood, said Mississippi has consistently struggled to pull itself up from the bottom of national education rankings. He questioned the wisdom of moving away from Common Core without giving it a chance to show long-term results. “I want some standards that will lift us,” Jordan said. Sen. Chris McDaniel, REllisville, said he wants to repeal Common Core but he doesn’t believe a commission will recommend doing that.

Honoring the traditions of each church, both grape juice and wine were used for communion in chalices of different colors easy to identify for those with a preference. The following year, the Maundy Thursday or “Holy Thursday” service was held at St. Paul’s with Dr. Gordon preaching. Both ministers served communion using the Eucharist rite from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. The joint services have continued annually, alternating between churches.

gether is a great place to start.” The service is open to the public. Following the lead of their national churches, the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi and the United Methodist Conference of Mississippi created a “Covenant for Common Life,” signed in 2009 by former Mississippi Conference bishop Hope Morgan Ward and Duncan M. Gray III, retired bishop of the Diocese of Mississippi. The covenant, designed “to foster the development of common Christian life between (the) two churches,” asked Episcopal and Methodist congregations to form partnerships in their towns and attend worship with one another at least once a year. “Methodists and Episcopalians share lots in common, in fact, most Christians have more in common than not,” said Rev. Fraser. “Music is one of the loveliest ways

we begin to see that unity … our musicians really take the lead to help us recall we are part of the same mission.” Some Christian churches observe a special communion service on Maundy Thursday in memory of Jesus’ Last Supper with His disciples. The word Maundy is derived from the Latin word for “command.” The “Maundy” in “Maundy Thursday” refers to the command Jesus gave to the disciples at the Last Supper, that they should love and serve one another.

Corinth, Miss.

A diplomatic revolution The socialist government in France usually doesn’t have much in common with congressional Republicans, for whom both France and socialism tend to be anathema. But the French, according to a Rich Wall Street Journal report, are Lowry taking the toughest line among the powers negotiating with National Review Iran over its nuclear program and are alarmed by the Obama administration’s accommodating approach. “Some U.S. officials,” the Journal writes, “privately believe France is seeking in part to maintain strong ties to Israel and to Arab countries deeply skeptical of Washington’s outreach to Tehran.” When the Quai d’Orsay is more concerned than Foggy Bottom with maintaining warm ties to Israel, it is a sign of a world turned upside down. Consider the bizarre confluence of the perhaps-imminent Iran agreement with the administration’s apoplexy over Bibi Netanyahu’s re-election in Israel. The Iran deal will nullify the half-dozen U.N. resolutions calling on Iran to halt all uranium enrichment, at the same time the administration is floating the idea of going along with a new effort to isolate Israel at the U.N., in effect for the offense of re-electing Bibi Netanyahu. There are barely words for the perversity of this turnabout. It would be a step toward normalizing a rogue state and making a rogue state out of a normal country. It would be a rapprochement with a sworn enemy and a breach with a tried-and-true friend. It would be a diplomatic revolution in keeping with President Barack Obama’s purported realism that has little regard for either our deepestheld values or coldblooded interests. In a Huffington Post interview, President Obama warned that the Israeli-Palestinian status quo is “not a recipe for stability in the region.” What stability? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict manifestly has nothing to do with the collapse of Syria into a catastrophic civil war, or with ISIS establishing control over a swath of territory in Iraq and Syria, or Yemen descending into chaos. Israel holds free-and-fair elections in which Arabs can freely vote, even if Netanyahu made an ill-advised election-day comment about them turning out in droves; in country after country, Sunni and Shia forces kill and maim one another in a vicious fight for dominance by force. Israel builds settlements (mostly in areas that will stay part of Israel in any peace deal); Bashar al-Assad drops cluster bombs on people, and has reportedly returned to using chemical weapons. It doesn’t take great discernment to see the differences. It takes only a modicum of perspective, which President Obama can’t muster as he sets about engineering a rupture with our only democratic ally in the Middle East. Obama is often accused of amateurism and drift in his foreign policy. In a compelling essay in the online publication Mosaic, Michael Doran argues that this is unfair. The president has always had a strategic vision, with an opening to Iran at its heart. This explains, Doran contends, the president’s muted response to the 2009 democratic protests in Iran; his willingness to allow Iran to take a large hand in the Syrian civil war and hesitance to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels; his gift of sanctions relief to the Iranians, as well as major concessions in the ongoing negotiations; and his accommodation of a heavy military role for Iran in the fight against ISIS in Iraq. The public campaign against the leader of Israel fits with the overall scheme. “In making his personal rift with Netanyahu the subject of intense public debate,” Doran notes, “the White House means to direct attention away from the strategic rift between them – and from the fact that the entire Israeli elite, regardless of political orientation, as well as much of the U.S. Congress, regards the president’s conciliatory approach to Iran as profoundly misguided.” It is a testament to the folly and radicalism of this project that even the French have misgivings. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Gentry liberals have increasing clout Rahm Emanuel heads into a runoff April 7 in his bid for a second term as mayor of Chicago. He’s the favorite going in, having won 46 percent in the Feb. 24 first round against longtime local officeholder Chuy Garcia’s 34 percent and topping 50 percent in recent polls. Emanuel, President Obama’s first White House chief of staff and architect of the Democrats’ 2006 takeover of the House, is politically astute, energetic and profane. Given all that, it’s surprising that his support is down from the 55 percent he won in the first round in February 2011. And it’s interesting that his strongest support comes from gentry liberals: highincome, high-education whites. In February, he won absolute majorities in only eight of Chicago’s 50 wards, six on the Lakefront running north from the Loop almost to the city limits and two just inland. This comes 50 years after gentry liberals first emerged as a key electoral bloc in big city elections, with the election of then-Republican John Lindsay as mayor of New York in 1965. This was something new. Nathan Glazer and Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s 1963 study of New York’s voting blocs, “Beyond the Melt-

ing Pot,” has chapters on Irish, Italians, Jews, blacks and Puerto Ricans – but nothing on Michael gentry liberBarone als. James Q. Wilson’s Columnist pioneering study of Manhattan’s reform movement, “The Amateur Democrat,” came out in 1966, just after Lindsay won. Before the mid-1960s, gentry liberals were, like Lindsay, Republicans – liberal on civil rights, internationalist rather than isolationist on foreign policy, willing to accept the New Deal but suspicious of labor unions and big city political machines. Lindsay constructed a new coalition of gentry liberals and blacks, setting up a police civilian review board and claiming credit for preventing a riot in Harlem. He showed disdain for ethnic and middle-class whites. Lindsay’s policies played a major part in a negative national trend, as crime and welfare dependency roughly tripled in the 196575 decade, and New York City teetered on the brink of bankruptcy. Other cities with fewer strengths went into death spirals, like my

native Detroit. The gentry liberal-black alliance later split up in New York, as gentry liberals supported and blacks opposed the brilliantly successful crime-fighting policies of Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg. The city felt free to elect the far-left Bill de Blasio in 2013, but turnout was lower than in any city election since 1929, and de Blasio hired Giuliani’s first police commissioner. Chicago took a different course. Richard J. Daley, mayor from 1955 to 1976, juggled different ethnic groups, winning with black votes against Polish challengers early on and with majorities from all-white “bungalow wards” against candidates supported by blacks and gentry liberals later. In 1983, Congressman Harold Washington beat his son, Richard M. Daley, with a coalition of blacks and gentry liberals. But after Washington’s death, Daley was elected in 1989. His base was the bungalow wards, and he reached out shrewdly to Hispanics and gentry liberals. In 1992, I asked Bill Daley what his father would have thought of his brother marching in the gay rights parade. “Our father,” he said, “always said that if a group was big

enough to control a ward you should pay attention to them.” Today the balance has changed. Gentry-liberal Chicago is expanding inward from Lake Michigan. Only four white-majority bungalow wards are left in the northwest. The black population is not growing, as blacks head to the southern suburbs and to Atlanta. The Hispanic vote, growing toward its potential of onethird of the electorate, is Chuy Garcia’s political base. Rahm Emanuel is scrambling for votes in bungalow and black wards that went for third and fourth candidates in February and will probably get enough to win. That’s important for Chicago, but not so significant for the nation, because the central city electorate is contracting. The number on Richard J. Daley’s license plate was 708,222 – the number of votes he got in April 1955. In February 2015, Rahm Emanuel got 218,217.

Yew deserved international reputation It is not often that the leader of a small city-state – in this case, Singapore – gets an international reputation. But no one deserved it more than Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of Singapore as an independent country in 1959, and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990. With his death, he leaves behind a legacy valuable not only to Singapore but to the world. Born in Singapore in 1923, when it was a British colony, Lee Kuan Yew studied at Cambridge University after World War II, and was much impressed by the orderly, law-abiding England of that day. It was a great contrast with the povertystricken and crime-ridden Singapore of that era. Today Singapore has a per capita Gross Domestic Product more than 50 percent higher than that of the United Kingdom and a crime rate a small fraction of that in England. A 2010 study showed more patents and patent applications from the small city-state of Singapore than from Russia. Few places in the world can match Singapore for cleanliness and orderliness.

formation of Singapore took place under the authoritarian rule of Lee Kuan Yew for Thomas two decades Sowell as prime minister. And it Columnist happened despite some very serious handicaps that led to chaos and self-destruction in other countries. Singapore had little in the way of natural resources. It even had to import drinking water from neighboring Malaysia. Its population consisted of people of different races, languages and religions – the Chinese majority and the sizable Malay and Indian minorities. At a time when other Third World countries were setting up government-controlled economies and blaming their poverty on “exploitation” by more advanced industrial nations, Lee Kuan Yew promoted a market economy, welcomed foreign investments, and made Singapore’s children learn English, to maximize the benefits from Singapore’s position as a major port for

international commerce. Singapore’s schools also taught the separate native languages of its Chinese, Malay and Indian Tamil peoples. But everyone had to learn English, because it was the language of international commerce. In short, Lee Kuan Yew was pragmatic, rather than ideological. Many observers saw a contradiction between Singapore’s free markets and its lack of democracy. But its long-serving prime minister did not deem its people ready for democracy. Instead, he offered a decent government with much less corruption than in other countries in that region of the world. His example was especially striking in view of many in the West who seem to think that democracy is something that can be exported to countries whose history and traditions are wholly different from those of Western nations that evolved democratic institutions over the centuries. Democracy has prerequisites, and peoples and places without those prerequisites will not necessarily do well when democratic

institutions are created. The most painful recent example of that is Iraq, where a democratically elected government, set up by expenditure of the blood and treasure of the United States, became one of the obstacles to a united people with the military strength to protect itself from terrorists. In many parts of the Third World, post-colonial governments set up democratically made sure that there would be no more democracy that could replace its original leaders. This led to the cynical phrase, “one man, one vote – one time.” Democracy can be wonderful as a principle where it is viable, but disastrous as a fetish where it is not. Lee Kuan Yew understood the pitfalls and steered around them. If our Western advocates of “nationbuilding” in other countries would learn that lesson, it could be the most valuable legacy of Lee Kuan Yew.

Governor seeking change to new law INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said Tuesday that he wants legislation on his desk by the end of the week to clarify that the state’s new religiousfreedom law does not allow discrimination against gays and lesbians. Pence defended the measure as a vehicle to protect religious liberty but said he has been meeting with lawmakers “around the clock” to address concerns that it would allow businesses to deny services to gay customers. The governor said he does not believe “for a minute” that lawmakers intended “to create a license to discriminate.”

First lady asks kids to send lunch ideas WASHINGTON — Know any kids with a knack for making healthy lunches? Michelle Obama might invite them to the White House. The first lady once again is challenging the nation’s children to dream up healthy lunch recipes, a now annual component of her Let’s Move! campaign to reduce childhood obesity through diet and exercise. The Healthy Lunchtime Challenge — run in conjunction with public television station WGBH Boston and the federal departments of Agriculture and Education — invites 8- to 12-yearolds to submit original recipes for healthy and affordable lunches. Winners from each state and U.S. territory will be flown to Washington this summer for a “state dinner” for kids at the White House.

Comedy Central defends new host NEW YORK — A day after Trevor Noah was declared the new host of “The Daily Show,” his graphic tweets targeting women and Jews are causing a social media backlash and Comedy Central is defending its newest late-night star. By Tuesday, Trevor Noah was a trending topic on Twitter as he drew fire for jokes described as tasteless, hateful — and unfunny. Roseanne Barr was among those calling out the 31-year-old South African comic, who has an international following and two million Twitter followers. “U should cease sexist & anti semitic ‘humor’ about jewish

Students with loans go on debt strike WASHINGTON — Sarah Dieffenbacher is on a debt strike. She’s refusing to make payments on the more than $100,000 in federal and private loans she says she owes for studies at a for-profit college that she now

Across the State

considers so worthless she doesn’t include it on her resume. The “debt strike” sentiment is catching on. Calling themselves the “Corinthian 100” — named for the troubled Corinthian Colleges, Inc., which operated Everest College, Heald College and WyoTech before agreeing last summer to sell or close its 100-plus campuses — about 100 current and former students are refusing to pay back their loans, according to the Debt Collective group behind the strike.

Schock’s staff faces tough prosecutor WASHINGTON — Some of Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock’s current and previous employees will appear before a federal grand jury next month to answer questions about their old boss. When they do, they’ll likely face a prosecutor with a tough, meticulous reputation. Timothy Bass, a 20year veteran prosecutor who’s involved in the investigation, is known for combing through every detail of his cases. He’s prosecuted drug and gun crimes, money laundering, tax evasion, child pornography, exploitation and corruption cases. The government has been looking into Schock’s House office expenses, his re-election campaign spending and his relationships with long-time political donors. The Justice Department issued subpoenas as part of this investigation.

Prisons chief would get employee power JACKSON — Lawmakers are moving toward giving Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher the power to reorganize his department and fire any employees without regard to civil service protections for one year beginning July 1 Senate Bill 2804 raised objections in the House, passing Tuesday by a relatively tight vote of 6257. If senators pass the conference report as expected, the bill will move to Gov. Phil Bryant for his consideration. House and Senate negotiators stripped out earlier House-passed provisions that would have limited Fisher’s power to only 100 central office employees and would have forced the department to pay guards overtime instead of using compensatory time.

Bryant plans to sign hospital meeting bill JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant says he intends to sign a bill designed to bring more transparency to the way publicly owned hospitals are run. Bryant spoke Tuesday to more than three dozen people who traveled to the state Capitol to push the bill because of concerns about pension losses at Singing River Hospital in Jackson County. The House passed the final version of Senate Bill 2407 on Tuesday, and the Senate was expected to do the same. The bill would require

boards of publicly run hospitals to keep most of their meetings open to the public. Boards could close meetings to discuss employment contracts for physicians or other hospital workers. They could also close meetings to discuss competitive business matters and patient information.

Special education voucher advances JACKSON — A bill to create school vouchers for a small percentage of special-education students is headed to Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, who plans to sign it. The Senate passed the final version of Senate Bill 2695 last week, but it was held for the possibility of more debate. Senators removed the procedural hold Tuesday without further discussion. The bill would create $6,500-a-year vouchers for up to 500 specialeducation students the

first year. The program would increase by 500 a year until it reaches 2,500 students. Money could go toward private school tuition, tutoring or therapy related to education.

State back in court over prison violence JACKSON — The American Civil Liberties Union and others will argue at a federal court hearing Wednesday that the Mississippi Department of Corrections fails to protect prisoners at the privately run Walnut Grove Correctional Facility despite promising three years ago to reduce the facility’s violent atmosphere. The Clarion-Ledger reports U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves will hear testimony from prisoners, a corrections expert and the corporate vice president of Utah-based Management and Training Corp., which has a contract to run the prison.

Ferrell movie doesn’t make the cut Get Hard, R, *1⁄2 Stars. Will Farrell, Kevin Hart, Craig T. Nelson, Alison Brie. Director Ethan Cohen. Warner Brothers. Length 100 minutes. The star and one-half star seems to be as high as I could go with this movie. I just could not give the movie a very high rating. However, Darnel (Kevin Hart) brought home the bacon with some belly laughing out loud performances. His unusual way to deliver his lines was hilarious. The reason for the title will be explained in the next few paragraphs. Mart (Craig T. Nelson) is the boss of a trading company that is very successful. James King (Will Farrell) makes tons of money. He is arrogant and disgusting. James dates Alissa (Alison Brie) who is Martin’s daughter. James walks around in his large house in his

birthday suit. The s c e n e s were very disgusting. James has a lot of Terry yard workBurns ers outside, and they Movie Critic have the repulsive situation to watch this nauseating crazy person. Martin tells James that he is going to be arrested for fraud, and he will be going to San Quentin. However, Martin tells James not to worry. It will work out. However, it does not appear to be working. So James talks to a young man by the name of Darnell (Kevin Hart) who cleans his car, and unfortunately James does not pay Darnell much money. He asks Darnell about helping him to get strong and tough in order to survive in San Quentin. He thinks that Darnell

has been in prison. In order to make some money, Darnell goes along with the project. Darnell made me laugh many times. He really saved the movie from having too much over the top dirty scenes. His character made the movie very comical. The movie had scenes I thought unnecessary. It had portions that in my opinion could be left out. A lot of the scenes were just uncalled for. As the time gets closer for James to take his medicine in San Quentin, the movie tightens up, and he discovers something that might keep him out of prison, but it is a dangerous move for James and Darnell. As the movie progresses, the audience meets a lot of tough hombres that terrified James and Darnell, and they had reason to be scared. These guys meant business. I like to use the term

that was used a long time ago. The term was we are going to a “Moving Picture Show” or the Drive-In. Not many Drive-Ins left. I just used the above paragraph in case some have never heard of the above or others haven’t heard them in a long time. I would say that in those days, movies like today would not be seen in a lot of theaters. The point is — if the reader goes to see the movie, this day and time, it will not be seen by anyone, but those in the theater. I will say this, Kevin Hart was my favorite character. He made me laugh many times, and his acting was terrific. I will be looking forward to watching Kevin again. His timing with comedy was terrific. My laughter was mostly belly laughs which means very funny. Thanks to Kevin.

WASHINGTON — The United States pledged Tuesday to cut its greenhouse gas emissions up to 28 percent as its contribution to a global treaty aimed at preventing the worst effects of climate change. The Obama administration’s contribution to the treaty, which world leaders expect to finalize in December, codifies a commitment President Barack Obama first made late last year in Beijing, when he announced a joint U.S.China climate deal that raised global hopes that developed and developing nations can come together to fight climate change.
