TVA specialist notes challenges

BY JEBB JOHNSTON

“We’ve got a lot of activity when it comes to both expansions of existing industry as well as new projects.”

A TVA marketing specialist highlighted some of the strengths of the property and challenges ahead for Alcorn County’s new industrial site during a Corinth visit on Wednesday.

Brad Maul, target market specialist, economic development, with TVA, was featured speaker for the annual Existing Industry Appreciation Luncheon. As the electricity provider works with communities to spur economic development, Maul said it is seeing some good results.

“We’re well beyond pre-recession levels, it seems like,” said Maul. “We’ve got a lot of activity when it comes to both expansions of existing industry as well as new projects. Maybe

job creation numbers.”

While mergers and acquisitions have been common, capacity has been exhausted in many existing facilities, he said, and there is also pent-up demand.

Increasing in importance are the availability of lands and buildings.

“A lot of communities are out there wanting these economic opportunities, but they struggle to even get off first base or start the process,” said Maul.

He applauded locals for purchasing and developing the 417 acres of land east of Corinth with frontage on Highway 72. It will have access from the Kimberly Clark Parkway.

A U.S. District Court Judge has upheld a jury verdict against the Corinth School District in a case involving the Family and Medical Leave Act. Last year, a jury awarded former maintenance worker and bus driver Alfred L. Newcomb $100,000 in damages in the dispute over his termination. In an order filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court, Judge Sharion Aycock upheld the verdict and denied the school district’s renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law and motion for a new

trial, according to court records.

The amount of the award was also amended to $120,525.96, exclusive of prejudgment interest.

The lawsuit, filed in September 2012, alleged that the school district violated the Family and Medical Leave Act by terminating his employment after he suffered a shoulder injury that required him to miss work. The school district argued that Newcomb was terminated “in good faith for legitimate business reasons which did not violate Please see VERDICT | 2

Girl Scout Troop 23180 hosts ‘Spa Day’ benefit

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

A trio of local Girl Scouts are offering a day of pampering to raise funds for a field trip.

Troop 23180 is having “Spa Day” on Saturday.

“We all thought it was a good idea because so many people love to get their nails and toes done,” said troop member Demetria Wallace.

The troop is trying to raise

money to take a trip to Louisville, Ky. “They came up with the idea all on their own,” said troop leader Brandi Corbin.

Troop 23180 plans to visit Louisville Mega Cavern, take a lunch cruise on Belle of Louisville and experience Shakespeare in the Park with money raised.

“Spa Day” is set for 11 a.m.

Excel by 5 hosts school readiness event

BY JEBB JOHNSTON

“Excel by 5’s mission is to reach out to the community and get kids better prepared for school.”

jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Before Saturday’s community egg hunt, Excel by 5 will offer parents of young children an opportunity to get better prepared to send their children into the school years ahead.

The school readiness event, an annual program of the Excel by 5 initiative, is set for 11 a.m. to noon at Crossroads Regional Park. Look for the school bus to find the location of the event, which will target parents of children who will be going into preschool or kindergarten.

Parents will learn about immunizations, school curriculum, bus safety and ways to prepare their kids for school, while children will be entertained with games and other activities.

will be a big plus in light of increasing numbers of rail-dependent projects.

The property’s size and natural buffers are other advantages. “A lot of [industries] need, at a minimum, 60 to 80 acres,� said Maul.

Challenges, he said, will include competition from other large sites and the topography. He recommends developing a detailed grading plan and utility design and working on right-of-way acqui-

sition. He also suggests creating an identity and sense of place for the site through signage.

Former educators convicted

BY KATE BRUMBACK Associated Press

ATLANTA — In one of the biggest cheating scandals of its kind in the U.S., 11 former Atlanta public school educators were convicted Wednesday of racketeering for their role in a scheme to inflate students’ scores on standardized exams.

The defendants, including teachers, a principal and other administrators, were accused of falsifying test results to collect bonuses or keep their jobs in the 50,000-student Atlanta school system. A 12th defendant, a teacher, was acquitted of all charges by the jury.

The racketeering charges carry up to 20 years in prison. Most of the defendants will be sentenced April 8. “This is a huge story and absolutely the big-

gest development in American education law since forever,� said University of Georgia law professor Ron Carlson. “It has to send a message to educators here and broadly across the nation. Playing with student test scores is very, very dangerous business.�

A state investigation found that as far back as 2005, educators fed answers to students or erased and changed answers on tests after they were turned in. Evidence of cheating was found in 44 schools with nearly 180 educators involved, and teachers who tried to report it were subject to retaliation.

Thirty-five educators in all were indicted in 2013 on charges including racketeering, making false statements and theft. Many pleaded

guilty, and some testified at the trial. Atlanta School Superintendent Beverly Hall never went to trial, arguing she was too sick. She died a month ago of breast cancer.

Hall insisted she was innocent. But educators said she was among higher-ups pressuring them to inflate students’ scores to show gains in achievement and meet federal benchmarks that would unlock extra funding.

Over objections from the defendants’ attorneys, Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter ordered all but one of those convicted immediately jailed while they await sentencing. “They are convicted felons as far as I’m concerned,� Baxter said, Please see SCANDAL | 3

the Family Medical Leave Act,� according to court records.

Newcomb, who performed vehicle maintenance and some general maintenance and also drove a bus, was assisting a co-worker on a personal building project on Aug. 2, 2010, when the two fell backward from 17 feet of scaffolding.

Newcomb had surgery the following month and received a termination letter upon returning home. The letter stated that Newcomb’s position was being eliminated as part of a reduction in force because of the elementary school merger and financial considerations.

Newcomb alleged the school district failed to notify him of his entitlement to family and medical leave following the expiration of his accrued time.

Thursday, April 2, 2015

Today is Thursday, April 2, the 92nd day of 2015. There are 273 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 2, 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis and most of his Cabinet fled the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, because of advancing Union forces.

On this date: In 1792, Congress passed the Coinage Act, which authorized establishment of the U.S. Mint.

In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany, saying, “The world must be made safe for democracy.” (Congress declared war four days later.)

In 1932, Charles A. Lindbergh and John F. Condon went to a cemetery in The Bronx, New York, where Condon turned over $50,000 to a man in exchange for Lindbergh’s kidnapped son.

(The child, who was not returned, was found dead the following month.)

In 1942, Glenn Miller and his orchestra recorded “American Patrol” at the RCA Victor studios in Hollywood.

In 1956, the soap operas “As the World Turns” and “The Edge of Night” premiered on CBS. In 1968, the sciencefiction film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, had its world premiere in Washington D.C. In 1982, several thousand troops from Argentina seized the disputed Falkland Islands, located in the south Atlantic, from Britain. (Britain seized the islands back the following June.)

In 1986, four American passengers were killed when a bomb exploded aboard a TWA jetliner en route from Rome to Athens, Greece.

In 1995, baseball owners accepted the players’ union offer to play without a contract, ending the longest and costliest strike in the history of professional sports.

Across the Region Four indicted in courthouse burglary BOONEVILLE — A former courthouse employee is one of four people indicted by a Prentiss County grand jury stemming from the January 2014 break-in at the tax assessor’s office in the Prentiss County Courthouse Indicted were Joseph Randolph Moore, 48, of Wheeler, Donna L. Way, 51, of 74 Hwy. 30 West, Baldwyn, Gerald C. Guynes, 65, of 242 CR 500, Rienzi, and Steven M. Gumm, 52, of 1015 Bankhead Drive, Tremont.

They were indicted on charges of burglary of building and conspiracy with each other to commit the burglary.

Way is a former employee of the tax office and former purchasing clerk for Prentiss County.

The indictment was made

public Wednesday, March 25.

During the theft around $16,000 in cash was stolen from a safe in the tax office along with checks for a total of approximately $36,000, according to law enforcement officials.

The courthouse burglary occurred sometime during the overnight hours between the evening of Thursday, Jan. 30, 2014, and the morning of Friday, Jan. 31, 2014.

An courthouse employee arriving at work discovered the theft.

The crime came at the busiest time of the year for the office at the usual end of the month rush combined with the deadline to pay county property taxes without penalty.

At the time of their arrests last August, Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey said none of the money or checks was recovered.

Senate ends session; House back today

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS AND JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi Senate ended its part of the 2015 legislative session Wednesday several days ahead of schedule, but the House will return to the Capitol to handle the last bits of unfinished business today.

Two bills were held for the possibility of more House debate.

Senate Bill 2258 would tighten sanctions for schools found to be cheating on tests, and Senate Bill 2804 would make it easier for the Corrections commissioner to hire or fire people by removing employees’ civil service job protection for one year.

“I made every attempt that I could to save the taxpayers money so we wouldn’t have to come back tomorrow,” House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, said Wednesday.

Any member of the Legislature has the right to hold a bill

for another possible round of debate, and legislative rules say the second debate cannot take place the same day as the first.

During Senate debate on the corrections bill Wednesday, Democratic Sen. David Blount of Jackson argued that civil service procedures should remain in place.

“If you vote for this and you have a constituent who works for the Department of Corrections and that person is fired and they call you and they say, ‘What is my recourse?’ ... your answer to them would be, ‘You can do nothing about it,’” Blount said.

Supporters of the bill said Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher needs the flexibility to manage a department that has had budget problems the past several years. Fisher became commissioner in January, two months after former commissioner Christopher Epps was indicted on federal corruption

charges tied to prison contracts.

During the three-month session, which originally was scheduled to end Easter Sunday, lawmakers wrote a nearly $6.3 billion budget and approved borrowing $450 million for a variety of projects, including $24.5 million for an aquarium in Gulfport. Republican leaders pushed for tax cuts, but those efforts were defeated by House Democrats who argued that the state needs to hold onto money for education, transportation and other services.

Senators were in a lighthearted mood Wednesday as they spent more than 10 minutes hazing a first-year colleague, Republican Sen. Charles Younger of Columbus, who stood at the front of the chamber to give his first ever explanation of a bill, a measure to deal with rental of motor scooters. Younger handled the questions with good humor, at one point taking a swig

from a pitcher of ice water that his colleagues asked a page to deliver to him.

“You now will take the honors as the most picked-on senator in this chamber,” said Sen. David Parker, R-Olive Branch, who endured his own good-humored hazing when he joined the Legislature in 2014.

In sharp contrast to the time spent having fun with their colleague, the Senate spent little time debating a bill that would expand the use of the death penalty.

House Bill 1052, which passed the House on Tuesday, would allow prosecutors to seek the death penalty against someone who has killed three people within a three-year period. Under current law, a capital murder charge can be brought against someone accused of killing a person while also committing another felony such as armed robbery.

vindictive,” he said.

Prosecutors said the 12 on trial were looking out for themselves rather than the children’s education. Defense attorneys accused prosecutors of overreaching in charging the educators under racketeering laws usually employed against organized crime.

The attorneys for some of the defendants said they will appeal.

The cheating came to light after The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that some scores

were statistically improbable.

The months-long trial began in August with more than six weeks of jury selection, and testimony concluded in late February. The criminal investigation by the district attorney’s office lasted nearly two years and involved hundreds of interviews with school administrators, staff, parents and students.

District Attorney Paul Howard said it was the biggest and most complex case his office had ever

handled.

“Our entire effort in this case was simply to get our community to stop and take a look at the education system,” Howard said.

Dessa Curb, a former elementary school teacher, was the one educator acquitted of all charges.

“I’ve prayed and I believed that this would be my outcome,” said a dazed-looking Curb, tears in her eyes.

SCANDAL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2

later adding, “They have made their bed and they’re going to have to lie in it.”

The only one allowed to remain free on bail was teacher Shani Robinson, because she is expected to give birth soon.

Bob Rubin, the attorney for former elementary school principal Dana Evans, said he was shocked by the judge’s decision.

“I felt it to be unnecessary and

Corinth, Miss.

Disastrous Iran deal may prove fatal to Israel In 1982, during one of many visits to Israel, I had the opportunity to speak with Prime Minister Menachem Begin, who told me, “Israel needs friends.” He added that in the end, his nation could not trust any nation with its fate and security. The protection of Israel, he said, was ultimately the responsibility of Israelis.

Begin’s comment was prophetic given the petulance of our current president, who behaves like an enemy of Israel when he attempts to impose a Palestinian state on Israel and Cal negotiate a deal with Iran that Thomas can only lead to new threats against the Jewish state and Columnist further destabilize the chaotic Middle East.

In his determination to strike a deal with Iran over its nuclear weapons program (which Iran has denied exists, so what is the U.S. negotiating?), President Obama has traded history, facts and reality for a potential deal with a regime that promotes terrorism around the world and is busy attaching Iraq to its vision of a greater Persian Empire.

Last Saturday, Iran’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei again called for “Death to America,” just one day after President Obama appealed to Iranians in a video message to seize a “historic opportunity” for a nuclear deal and a better future. The leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, also continues to use inflammatory rhetoric about the ultimate destruction of Israel. What should this tell us?

The president is cozying up to a nation that oppresses women, has an apocalyptic view of the world and believes that if it starts a nuclear war the 12th Imam – the Islamic messiah – will emerge from a well and bring peace on Earth and good will, at least to Shia Muslim men. Women will remain subject to male domination and have only the few rights given to them by men.

Israel, which embraces Western values of free elections, religious tolerance and pluralism, a free press and equal rights for women is treated by President Obama and his administration as Iran should be treated. Do these people suffer from diplomatic dyslexia, or anti-Semitism?

The coming nuclear deal with Iran, if it occurs, will be a sham from the start. Agreements between nations require at least some trust, but Iran has as much credibility as a double-your-money promise from Bernie Madoff.

Why should Israel be forced to surrender more land to an enemy that has sworn to destroy it? A Palestinian state would likely be used as a launching pad for an attack. Gaza is a perfect example. It has been used by Hamas to attack Israel, which unilaterally and foolishly gave it up in hopes of promoting peace.

Suicide is not in Israel’s interests, or that of the United States, but suicide is what President Obama seems to want Israel to commit by pressuring it to return to indefensible 1967 borders and accept a nuclear deal with Iran.

That two states is not what Israel’s enemies want was made clear enough when President Clinton brought then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and PLO leader Yasser Arafat to Camp David in 2000. Barak offered Arafat virtually everything he asked for – 95 percent by some estimates – and Arafat rejected the offer. Arafat, his contemporaries and those who have come after him, desire only one state headed by themselves with no Jewish state and no Jewish presence, as evidenced by the wars and terrorist attacks they have launched and continue to wage against Israel.

In Deuteronomy 17:7, God instructs the ancient Israelites: “You must purge the evil from among you.”

In his dangerous pursuit of a problematic nuclear weapons deal with Iran and his attempt to marry a cancerous Palestinian state to the land of Israel, President Obama is not purging evil; he’s inviting it to spread. History will judge him for this as it has every other nation that has harmed “the apple of His eye.” (Zechariah 2:8) (Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com.)

Prayer for today Lord God, help me to bear in mind that to step aside and safeguard the mind in contemplation is a safe guard to the soul. Amen.

A verse to share “Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.”

— 1 Chronicles 29:11

Are NGOs agents of subversion?

Though “Bibi” Netanyahu won re-election last week, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations will still look into whether the State Department financed a clandestine effort to defeat him.

Reportedly, State funneled $350,000 to an American NGO called OneVoice, which has an Israeli subsidiary, Victory 15, that collaborated with U.S. operatives to bring Bibi down.

If we are now secretly pumping cash into the free elections of friendly countries, to dump leaders President Obama dislikes, Americans have a right to know why we are using Cold War tactics against democracies.

After World War II, my late colleague on CNN’s “Crossfire,” Tom Braden, delivered CIA cash to democratic parties in Europe imperiled by communist parties financed from Moscow.

But that was done to combat Stalinism when Western survival was at stake in a Cold War that ended in 1991.

Hopefully, after looking into OneVoice and V15, the Senate will expand its investigation into a larger question: Is the U.S. using NGOs to subvert regimes around the world? And, if so, who decides which regimes may be subverted?

What gives these questions urgency is the current crisis that has Moscow moving missiles toward Europe and sending submarines and bombers to probe NATO defenses.

America contends that Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea and backing for pro-RusPat sian rebels Buchanan in Ukraine is the cause of Columnist the gathering storm in Russian-NATO relations.

Yet Putin’s actions in Ukraine were not taken until the overthrow of a democratically elected proRussian regime in Kiev, in a coup d’etat in which, Moscow contends, an American hand was clearly visible.

Not only was John McCain in Kiev’s Maidan Square egging on the crowds that drove the regime from power, so, too, was U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.

In an intercepted phone call with our ambassador in Kiev, Nuland identified the man we preferred when President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted. “Yats,” she called him. And when Yanukovych fled after the Maidan massacre, sure enough, Arseniy Yatsenyuk was in power.

Nuland also revealed that the U.S. had spent $5 billion since 1991 to bring about the reorientation of Ukraine toward the West.

Now, bringing Ukraine into the EU and NATO may appear to Nuland & Co. a great leap forward for freedom and progress.

But to Russia it looks like the subversion of a Slavic

nation with which she has had intimate ties for centuries, to bring Ukraine into an economic union and military alliance directed against Moscow.

If the U.S. had a role in that coup, the American people should know it and the Senate should find out whether Nuland & Co. used NGOs to reignite a Cold War that Ronald Reagan brought to an end.

And if we are now using NGOs as fronts for secret operations to dump over regimes, we are putting all NGOs abroad under suspicion and at risk.

Not in our lifetimes has America been more distrusted and disliked. And among the reasons is that we are seen as constantly carping at governments that do not measure up to our standards of democracy, and endlessly interfering in the internal affairs of nations that do not threaten us.

In this new era, U.S. foreign policy elites have boasted of the “color-coded” revolutions they helped to foment in Belgrade, Kiev, Tbilisi. In 2003, we helped to overthrow the Georgian regime of Eduard Shevardnadze in a “Rose Revolution” that brought to power Mikheil Saakashvili. And Saakashvili nearly dragged us into a confrontation with Russia in 2008, when he invaded South Ossetia and killed Russian peacekeepers.

What vital interest of ours was there in that little nation in the Caucasus, the birthplace of Stalin, to jus-

tify so great a risk?

Nor is it Moscow alone that is angered over U.S. interference in its internal affairs and those of its neighbor nations.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of Egypt has expelled members of U.S. NGOs. Beijing believes U.S. NGOs were behind the OccupyWall-Street-style street blockages in Hong Kong.

If true, these U.S. actions raise a fundamental question: What is the preeminent goal of U.S. foreign policy?

Is it to protect the vital interests and national security of the Republic? Or do we believe with George W. Bush that, “The survival of liberty” in America “depends on the success of liberty in other lands.”

If it is the latter, then our mission is utopian – and unending.

For if we believe our liberty is insecure until the whole world is democratic, then we cannot rest until we witness the overthrow of the existing regimes in Russia, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Belarus, most of the Arab and African nations, as well as Venezuela and Cuba.

And if that is our goal, our Republic will die trying to achieve it.

At least not landlocked It was a “magical place,” she says, back in 1992, when her parents bought the big house overlooking the Mississippi Sound in the quaint harbor town of Pass Christian.

Author Margaret McMullan, 55, apologizes immediately for using such a cliche as “magical place,” but, she quickly insists, “it was.”

She married her husband, Pat O’Connor, in that old house, spent all her summers there, invited Chicago friends down to introduce them to the Gulf Coast and her home state. To those out-of-state guests, Margaret told Hurricane Camille stories, once the gold standard of tragic lore.

Later, when couples evolved into couples with children, the magic grew exponentially, and her son, James, took his first steps in the Pass. Pat loved it, too.

“It was a party neither one of us wanted to leave.”

Then came Katrina and its hellish aftermath. Her parents were with Margaret’s family in Evansville, Indiana, during the storm. Af-

“There was Johnson no need for Columnist keys,” she says with an ironic laugh. “There were no doors.”

There is a rash of new Katrina books coming out in time for its 10th anniversary in August. If you read only one, it should be Margaret McMullan’s “Aftermath Lounge.”

A novel told in 10 short stories, it manages to make you laugh and weep, and see what happened to people and places when the reporters and camera crews went away. There were casualties nobody counted.

I asked Margaret why she chose the format. “I kept thinking, ‘This is a big stone that I have to chip away at,’” she says. “If I have to write a big novel, I’ll just go crazy.”

So she told short stories,

about people across the socio-economic strata, which somehow illustrates the democracy of disaster. She writes simply, with humor and insight, having waited years after the storm that wiped out the town to gain a deeper understanding.

“Jed was a high-school dropout and a lousy shrimper, but since the storm he’d bought a karaoke system with lights and was traveling with it from shack to shack up and down the coast ...”

The aftermath had a pioneer feeling, Margaret says, with consultants and builders rushing in with projects that often evaporated and left bigger messes than the storm. And yet the town slowly is rebuilding, and today has, she believes, “a grace hovering over it.”

“There were a lot of house-proud people in this neighborhood. Catch could fit five trailers inside the Zimmers’ house. He didn’t know where all the money that had landed on this street came from, but he figured either out-of-state

sugar or oil. Nobody ever made that kind of money in Mississippi; you had to leave, make your money, then bring it back with you ...”

The book is written like a good song, with all its verses returning to a rousing chorus. It travels to Chicago and Indiana, even Canada, but then back to the devastated Gulf Coast and its people, with their sundry coping mechanisms.

“People got out of cars to take pictures of giant heaps of rubble. Five years after the storm, and there were still torn bed sheets hanging in the live oaks ...”

Margaret teaches literature and creative writing in Indiana. Her husband is in marketing. But the two of them are moving to Pass Christian soon to write full time. And to return to the magic.

Dog survives being hit by car, clubbing SPOKANE, Wash. — The stray dog was hit by a car, clubbed in the head and left for dead in a ditch in Washington state. Days later, the 1-year-old bully breed mix showed up sickly and covered in dirt at a nearby farm.

Now, the dog that defied death is recovering with the help of good Samaritans and veterinarians at Washington State University.

The dog used to roam the streets getting scraps of food from people in Moses Lake, a farm town about 100 miles west of Spokane.

About a month ago, she was struck by a car.

Then things got worse: Someone cracked her in the head with a hammer and placed her in a box in a farm field.

But the dog somehow survived and was discovered at a nearby farm with a dislocated jaw, leg injuries and a caved-in sinus cavity.

The wounds helped veterinarians piece together what happened, including the hammer blow.

McDonald’s to raise pay at its stores NEW YORK — McDonald’s says it’s raising pay for workers at its company-owned U.S. restaurants, making it the latest employer to sweeten worker incentives in an improving economy.

The company owns about 10 percent of its more than 14,300 U.S. restaurants, representing about 90,000 workers. The rest are run by franchisees, and McDonald’s said they “make their own decisions on pay and benefits.”

The announcement comes as several other major companies including, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., have announced wage hikes as the economy has picked up and made it more difficult to find reliable workers. Over the past 12 months, the unemployment rate has dropped to 5.5 percent from 6.7 percent.

“It’s a very competitive environment and a significant rationale for this plan is that we want to be the most competitive and attractive employer,” said McDonald’s USA President Mike Andres in a phone interview. He added that people also have “new expectations” around jobs.

The change also comes as McDonald’s has been dealing with negative publicity from demonstrations over pay

and labor practices at its restaurants. In addition to ongoing protests since late 2012, worker groups have been pressuring the company with lawsuits and cases filed with the National Labor Relations Board and U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration on behalf of workers.

But Andres said few McDonald’s workers were taking part in the protests, and that they aren’t hurting the company’s image.

Starting on July 1, McDonald’s says the starting wages will be a dollar more than the local minimum wage where company-owned restaurants are located. Wages will be adjusted accordingly based on tenure and performance, it said.

Getty heir found dead, wrote of health woes LOS ANGELES — Andrew Getty, among the heirs in a family whose name is synonymous with elite American wealth, said in a court filing before he was found dead that he suffered from a serious health problem that could endanger his life.

Getty, 47, whose grandfather J. Paul Getty’s fortune made his family among the richest in U.S. history, wrote in a March 16 court document that he had been diagnosed with a condition, which he did not specify, in fall 2011.

“A rise in my bloodpressure places me in grave risk of substantial and irreparable injury or death,” he wrote.

Neither the coroner nor police had officially identified him, but a statement from Getty’s parents, Ann and San Francisco billionaire scion Gordon Getty, confirmed their son had died Tuesday.

Andrew Getty’s death appeared to be from natural causes, Los Angeles County coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter said, but it has been initially called an accident because of medication found at the scene. He said coroner’s officials need to wait for the results of further examination and toxicology tests, which could take up to 10 weeks to process.

Iranian extensions underscore dilemma WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s willingness to extend Iranian nuclear talks at least twice this week has laid bare the dilemma he faces as he pursues a high-stakes accord.

Walking away from negotiations would strip

Obama of a legacy-shaping deal, deeply complicate international efforts to stop Iran’s suspected pursuit of a bomb, and perhaps raise the specter of U.S. military action against Tehran’s nuclear installations.

But by blowing through self-imposed deadlines, Obama risks further antagonizing lawmakers in both parties who are poised to take their own action to upend a deal if they feel the president has been too conciliatory to Tehran.

The initial response to the extensions from Republicans suggested they had already come to that conclusion.

“The longer the Obama administration stays at the negotiating table with Iran, the more concessions it makes,” said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who is seeking the GOP presidential nomination.

Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines said the desire for successful negotiations “should not blind the Obama administration from the reality that only Iran is benefiting from the current approach.”

Senator indicted in corruption probe WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Menendez, the son of Cuban immigrants who rose to become one of the highest-ranking Hispanic members of Congress, was charged Wednesday with accepting nearly $1 million worth of gifts and travel from a longtime friend in exchange for a stream of political favors on the donor’s behalf.

A federal grand jury indictment accuses the New Jersey Democrat of using the power of his Senate seat to benefit Dr. Salomon Melgen, a wealthy Florida eye doctor who prosecutors say provided the senator with luxury vacations, airline travel, golf trips and tens of thousands of dollars in contributions to a legal defense fund.

The indictment from a federal grand jury in Newark charged the senator with 14 counts, including bribery, conspiracy and false statements, over his ties to Melgen. Melgen also was charged in the case.

The indictment clouds the political future of the top Democrat — and former chairman — of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who has played a leading role on Capitol Hill on matters involving Iran’s nuclear program and U.S. efforts to improve ties with Cuba.

Menendez has repeatedly asserted his innocence.

Advocates seek prison changes JACKSON — Advocates for better prison conditions argue that violations of constitutional protections are continuing at a Leake County prison.

Attorneys for the state of Mississippi told a federal judge Wednesday at the opening of a scheduled three-day hearing that conditions have improved so much that the court should dismiss the case.

U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves signed a 2012 consent decree pulling juveniles out of the Walnut Grove Correctional Facility and ordering changes for adult prisoners. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Southern Poverty Law Center say the state and private operator, Management & Training Corp., haven’t met the order’s terms.

They want Reeves to order further changes.

Seats going in at Biloxi stadium BILOXI — Work crews have started putting seats in the bowl of the Biloxi Shuckers’ stadium along with drainage in the outfield and are laying out the bases.

Next will be the soil, and officials are hoping grass can go down in about 30 days.

On Tuesday, the Biloxi City Council and team adjusted the agreement so Opening Day won’t be delayed if some painting or other non-essential work still needs to be done. The AV equipment and signs will be done by June 1 because they are lifesafety issues.

“My goal is to have both of these done by early May but no later than June 1,” said Tim Bennett with Overtime Sports and a part owner of the team.

Bennett told The Sun Herald that the painting and other cosmetic work will be complete

by July 1 under the new agreement.

ports that U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. set a June 23 sentencing for Angel Case after she entered the guilty plea on Tuesday.

Three others, Kenneth Casey, 40, Thomas Bernard, 34, and Tonya Winn, 50, are scheduled enter guilty pleas April 14. A fifth person, Delano Lewis, 45, is awaiting trial.

Each was indicted on a charge of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, with Winn, Casey and Bernard also indicted on two counts each of attempted possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.

Case was indicted on an additional distribution charge.

The arrests followed a June 18, 2013, search

by Drug Enforcement Administration agents of a Diamondhead home.

Case and Lewis were at the home when DEA agents found ice, the purest form of meth, cocaine and prescription drugs.

Court records show Case later told agents she was a courier for Casey and Bernard and the three would pick up pounds of meth, kilos of cocaine and 50 to 100 pounds of marijuana from hotels in Houston to distribute in Hancock County.

Aquarium planned on library site GULFPORT — The historic downtown library in Gulfport is being incorporated into the city’s plans for a major aquarium development that will cost $90 million to $120 million.

Mayor Billy Hewes tells The Sun Herald the library would become a welcome center and transit area for residents and tourists who visit the aquarium and Gulfport’s waterfront.

Gulfport has spent more than $14 million

into downtown facade restorations and landscaping and about $40 million spent on the harbor. Federal Katrina relief paid for most of those improvements.

The city needs to find up to $80 million more if cost estimates for the project are accurate. Hewes is banking on funding from the Restore Act that coast localities expect to receive as a result of the BP oil spill.

The state is providing $24.5 million from a bond bill awaiting the governor’s signature.

The city took out a loan to buy the property, intending to repay it with ticket sales and possibly other aquarium proceeds. Chief Administrative Officer John Kelly said only interest on the loan would be paid until the aquarium is built, hopefully in three to four years.

Natchez website updated, app on way NATCHEZ — Natchez may be approaching its 300th birthday, but its website looks anything but old.

The city website, cityofnatchez.net, recently received a complete makeover.

Ed Bowser, information technology director for the city, said the update was long overdue.

When updating the website, Bowser said his main goal was to incorporate more outlets for community members and visitors to interact with city departments.

A few new additions to the site include direct access to city job applications, an updated city agendas tab and a streaming calendar.

A new feature Bowser said the city hopes to launch soon is a mobile phone application that would allow users to access website amenities directly from their smartphone.

1 pleads guilty, 3 to plead in drug case GULFPORT — A South Mississippi woman has pleaded guilty to a federal drug-distribution charge for her part in a scheme to bring more than 50 grams of “ice” methamphetamine, more than 5 kilograms of cocaine and more than 100 kilograms of marijuana from Houston to Diamondhead.

Shiloh Park offers ranger-led hikes, caravan tours

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

SHILOH, Tenn. — As the Civil War Sesquicentennial comes to a close later this year, Shiloh National Military Park will host a week long 153rd anniversary celebration set to kick off this weekend.

With events, hikes and caravan tours scheduled for five days, civil war enthusiasts from around the country will converge on the Crossroads area for the variety of interpretive programs.

“Since our anniversary days, April 6-8, fall on the weekdays this year, we will also be offering special events this weekend, April 4-5,” said Shiloh Park Ranger Chris Mekow. “Rangers and volunteers will be offering in-depth battlefield hikes, demonstrations, car caravan tours and programs never before seen during the commemoration.”

Mekow said this year will be the perfect time for locals to attend Sesquicentennial events.

“The previous years have been quite busy for us,” said the ranger. “But we anticipate there will not be as many tourists as normal at Shiloh this year due to the Sesquicentennial events taking place Appomattox, Va.”

Saturday • Throughout the day on Saturday, Shiloh’s Cannon Crew will fire the park’s reproduction 6-pounder field piece and visitors will learn about the role of a cannoneer during the war and how cannon were loaded and fired. Firing demonstrations will be conducted across from the Shiloh Visitor’s Center.

• A display featuring original documents belonging to Lt. Richard P.

Shiloh National Military Park’s Cannon Crew will fire the park’s reproduction 6-pounder field cannon throughout the day on Saturday as part of the park’s 153rd anniversary celebration.

• The Young Guns of Shiloh Ranger Guided Hike is set for Saturday on the Shiloh Battlefield from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

When the Civil War broke out, young men from the North and South joined armies and fought each other on numerous bloody battlefields.

Some died or were never heard from again, while other soldiers went on to become generals and famous individuals. Many of the officers who fought at Shiloh were quite young and had either just graduated from West Point or just started their careers. The lives and careers of these young men were interrupted by the outbreak of the war.

follow the battle action of April 6th of three of these young men. The tour will focus on two Confederates, and one Union soldier who survived the action to become Generals.

Join Park Ranger Charles Spearman and discover the identity of these Young Guns of Shiloh. Attendees are to meet at the Shiloh Visitor Center for a Car Caravan trip with a short amount of walking at each stop.

• Caravan tours will kick off on Saturday with two tours from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 to 4 p.m.

Tours will also take place on Monday and Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In commemoration of Shiloh’s 153rd Battle Anniversary, park volunteer Jimmy Whittington, will lead car caravan tours of Shiloh Battlefield.

The tours will allow visitors the opportunity to follow the battle in the chronological order as it developed. The tours will take visitors to the high points on the battlefield in order to interpret the sto-

ry of the bloody Battle of Shiloh. While visiting historic sites such as Fraley Field, the Hornets’ Nest and the Peach Orchard, visitors will be able to ask questions and achieve a better understanding of the epic battle.

Each tour will meet at the Shiloh Visitor Center.

Tours are limited to 10 vehicles.

Sunday • For those who can miss Easter Sunday festivities, Shiloh is the place to be.

“One of the most interesting hikes we are offering this year will tell the Physical and Cultural Geography of Pittsburg Landing and the Shiloh Community,” said Mekow. “It will be an all day hike, but definitely one worth the time.

Starting in the area of the Confederate deployment, Dr. Jeff Gentsch will conduct the hike which will first cover the movement and approaches on the central and

eastern sections of the battlefield, moving north and crossing Dill Branch then turning west to cover the western sector of the park, then hiking south to the point of origin.

Field sizes and shapes, watercourses, topography, vegetation types and densities, roads, as well as a general overview of the battle will be discussed.

The Easter Sunday hike will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. With a terrain of easy to difficult, the total hiking distance is eight miles. Attendees should meet in the packing lot of former Ed Shaw’s Gift Shop.

“These are all either new hikes or hikes with new information,” added Mekow. “We have folks who bring us old personal accounts all the time. That information is gathered and we tell the new stories and accounts during special walks and hikes like these.”

Monday • The first of three full

days of historic hikes will take place starting on Monday.

The day will start early with the Fraley Field; The Bloody Battle Begins hike at 5:15 a.m.

Attendees should meet at Shiloh National Military Park Visitor Center at 5 a.m. for the moderate hike. The Union Hike is two miles roundtrip, while the Southern Hike is one mile roundtrip.

Join Park volunteers Jeff Gentsch and Bjorn Skaptason on a two-hour battlefield hike which will introduce visitors to the events surrounding the opening shots of the battle.

These hikes will follow the approach of the Union and Confederate soldiers and the tour will arrive in Fraley Field at sunrise.

After arriving at the Visitor Center, hikers will divide into two groups.

Visitors participating in the Northern advance will drive to Tour Stop # 9 (Invasion of the Union Camps) where their hike will begin. This group will retrace the route of the Federal reconnoitering party ordered out by Colonel Everett Peabody.

The second group will drive to the edge of Fraley Field, where their approach will begin. This group will retrace the Confederate pickets trek and take their position in Fraley Field.

The two groups will encounter each other at daylight in Fraley Field, just as the Union and Confederate soldiers met on that historic morning of April 6th, 1862.

• A Ponderous Avalanche: The Lost Hours of the Confederate Attack two-mile hike will take place from 7 to 9 a.m.

Parking will be at Tour Route # 9 (Invasion of the Union Camps). The hiking terrain is set as moderate with some difficulty through off-trail ravines Please see SHILOH | 7

Trinity Test site opening faces residents’ protest Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Seven decades after an atomic bomb helped end World War II, descendants of families near a New Mexico test want tourists to know residents suffered for years afterward and some of their children may have been affected.

Hundreds of visitors are expected Saturday to visit the Trinity Test site

as federal officials open up the historic grounds for a rare opportunity for tourists to view the site of the world’s first atomic blast. The site typically opens for a few hours for at least once a year.

But as the 70th anniversary of test approaches, residents are pressing for acknowledgement and compensation. They say the test caused long-term health problems, includ-

ing rare forms of cancer, for many Hispanic, white and Native American ranching families living in the area at the time.

“The history of the bomb is always told through the eyes of scientists and industry,” said Tina Cordova, co-founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders. “We’ve been left out of the narrative.”

During the Manhattan Project, a World War II

program that provided enriched uranium for the atomic bomb, scientists in the secret town of Los Alamos worked to develop the bomb that would later dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The secretive projects involved three research and production facilities at Los Alamos; Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and Hanford, Washington.

On July 16, 1945, Los Alamos scientists successfully exploded the first atomic bomb at the Trinity site, located near Alamogordo. The steel tower that held the bomb disintegrated. Left in its place at the Trinity Site was a crater that stretched a half mile and was several feet deep.

The explosion was felt for miles in the remote area of southern New

Mexico where an estimated 19,000 people lived. It took days for the radioactive debris to settle over New Mexico’s Tularosa Basin.

“My father was a 3-year-old at the time of the explosion,” Cordova said.

He later died from a third battle with cancer, said Cordova, who plans to lead around 50 protesters on Saturday.

hike will cover mostly level,open ground.

• The 154th: Tennessee’s Senior Regiment at Shiloh two and half mile hike is set for 1 to 3 p.m. with parking at Tour Stop # 5 (Shiloh Church). The hike’s terrain will be moderately difficult, crossing streams and hills off park trails.

How did the pre-war militia of Tennessee translate their training into fighting ability? What difficulties did units encounter as commanders were killed and wounded in the midst of a fast-changing battlefield situation? Join Bjorn Skaptason and follow this regiment through the first day of fighting to explore these questions.

• Holding the Union Left: Hurlbut’s Desperate Stand two miles, easy to moderate hike is 2 to 4 p.m. with parking at Tour Stop # 14 (Field Hospital).

Park Ranger Charles Spearman will lead a walking tour which will cover the action of General Stephen Augustus Hurlbut’s Division to hold back the Confederate onslaught attempting to turn the Union left flank and capture Pittsburg Landing near the Peach Orchard.

• The Crucible of Crossfire: The Encirclement of Union Forces at the Pinnacle of Battle hike is from 2:30 to 5 p.m. The two mile, easy to moderate hike will begin at Tour Stop # 10 (Hornets’ Nest).

Beginning in the center of the Hornet’s Nest, on the Union Center Loop, Dr. Jeff Gentsch will lead a hike to examine how the encirclement of Prentiss’s Union command unfolded from all sides, following the course of the assaulting Confederate brigades until they were in position to cut-off the Federal retreat from the Hornets’ Nest – Duncan Field line towards the end of the first day of battle.

• The final hike of the day is the Backs to the River: Grant’s Last Line hike set for 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. with parking at In-

When the apostle Peter wrote to the Christians of his day, they were suffering persecution. He wrote to encourage them to remain strong and be faithful in spite of what others did to them, or said about them. He speaks in the first chapter of the hope they have in Christ, and the salvation to be obtained in the end. There is then a call to be holy. We are to be holy people. We are not perfect, but just as the vessels and furnishings of the tabernacle were made and set apart for holy, divine purposes, so are we as his people. Peter goes on in chapter two to speak of God’s people as “a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession.” (1 Peter 2:9) To be holy, we must “prepare our minds for action,keep sober in spirit, and fi x our hope completely on the grace to be brought at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (I Peter I: 12 NASB) In other words we have to think like holy people ought to think, not like worldly minded people. A holy life begins with holy thinking. Solomon said, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7) If we continually feed our mind evil, and things that are unhealthy for our spiritual well-being, how can we hope to be holy people? Peter goes ahead in I Peter I: 13 to tell us that holiness involves changing our behavior, living as obedient children, not conforming to the old life lived and ruled by the world. Paul said in the Roman letter, “be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2) Paul wrote to Titus that we are to “deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.” (Titus 2: 12) Verses fifteen and sixteen call upon us to be holy in all our behavior, like the one who has called us is holy. The text comes from Leviticus chapter eleven, in which God has given instruction to the Hebrew people about what they may and may not eat; what is clean and what is unclean. He challenges them to be holy, just as he is holy, and has brought them out of Egypt.

They were his. They were to be like him.

In a world that would have us conform to its standards, God keeps calling us to “be holy”.

Today

Trade deficit The Commerce Department reports its latest tally of the nation’s trade gap today.

The U.S. trade deficit dropped 8.3 percent to $41.8 billion in January. Much of the dip in imports likely came from lower oil prices and a labor dispute that disrupted shipping at West Coast ports. Meanwhile, the strong dollar has made American-made goods less affordable abroad, weighing down exports.

That sinking feeling The price of oil may not have hit bottom.

Crude fell more than 10 percent in the first three months of this year — a third straight quarterly decline. As recently as June a barrel cost more than $105, but worries about over supply and flagging demand have since pushed the price below $50.

Oil wasn’t the only commodity to struggle in the first quarter. Metals, agricultural products and other commodities were also weak. Economic growth has slowed around the world, curtailing demand, particularly from China and other emerging markets. The growth of developing economies has also slowed to an expected 5 percent this

year, down from 7.3 percent a decade ago.

Some analysts expect commodities to continue to slide. The second quarter will be the weakest of the year for oil, Barclays analysts predict. The price of crude could have dropped even more last quarter if not for unplanned refinery outages around the world, a cold winter and other factors. Those concerns will go away, or at least be less impactful, this quarter.

To be sure, Barclays acknowledges that any flare up of violence in the Middle East could cause the price of oil to spike. Even so, it expects an average price of $39 per barrel this quarter. Crude hasn’t been that cheap since February 2009.

Reader inquires how to deal with her home life WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Jerry” for 10 years. We each have adult daughters from previous relationships.

Jerry has a peculiar relationship with his daughter, “Serena.” She was taken from him by her mother at a very early age, and he did not see her again until she was 13.

At age 15, she got into a fight with her mother and came to live with Jerry.

He and his roommate allowed the girl to drink liquor and use their car.

At some point, she was found in Jerry’s bed having sex with a strange man.

She also ran up $1,000 in telephone charges calling her boyfriend back home.

When Serena went back to Mom, I moved in with Jerry. But Serena would call at all hours of the night. When she had another fight with Mom, Jerry invited her back without asking me. I put a lock on the phone, and Serena became angry and returned to Mom. After that, her relationship with Jerry was on-and-off for 10 years.

Jerry now visits Serena and her young son twice a year for six weeks at a time, which drives me nuts. I find her to be manipulative and toxic and don’t care to deal with her. Last month, Jerry insisted I talk to her when

Annie’s Mailbox she phoned at 3 a.m., and all she did was scream at me for 30 minutes. Jerry backed her up.

I told Jerry that Serena needs to apologize. I am upset by the way Jerry behaves toward her. When she is ill, he waits on her hand and foot, but when I was in a motorcycle crash, he expected me to get up and cook dinner.

Jerry screams at me, yet he is all sweetness when speaking to Serena. He does nothing around the house other than take out the garbage, while I work full time, and all he does is criticize me. He wants me to embrace Serena the way he does, but I cannot do it. I’m depressed and miserable. What should I do? — Second Place Dear Second: Jerry has put Serena first, which means he will always take her side in any argument with you, and she knows it.

Don’t expect any apologies. The question is what to do about your marriage, which sounds unhappy and stressful. Get some counseling, with or without Jerry, and figure out whether you are better off with or

without him.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Cringing in Exercise Class,” who complained about a woman who chewed gum during classes. I’m surprised the instructor allows it.

It is a safety hazard. The woman could inhale the gum and get it stuck in her windpipe.

I bet the insurance company that covers the exercise facility would put an end to anyone chewing gum posthaste. — Better Practice Your Heimlich Maneuver Dear Better: You make an excellent point that we had not considered. With the amount of exertion and breathing one does during exercise, the gum could easily end up where it shouldn’t. Thanks for weighing in.

Dear Readers: We are carrying on Ann Landers’ tradition that April 2 be set aside as Reconciliation Day, a time to make the first move toward mending broken relationships. It also would be the day on which we agree to accept the olive branch extended by a former friend or estranged family member and do our best to start over.

Loving stepfather teaches wife how to accept gay son D E A R ABBY: I am a 91-yearold reader with a story to tell. In 1958, I married a man Abigail every womVan Buren an would have loved Dear Abby to have. He was one of a kind. I had two boys from a previous marriage, and this wonderful man adopted them.

In 1963, before homosexuality was understood or openly accepted, I discovered that my oldest son was gay. I didn’t take it well because of the way I was raised. In fact, I came unglued. My husband took me in his arms and said, “Honey, he is no different today than he was yesterday.”

The rest is a long story, but this wonderful man -- a stepfather -- gave acceptance to his son and taught it to me. His words helped me to value my own son as the person he is. If his words can help some other parent, I am passing them on.

-- EVER GRATEFUL MOTHER, SANTA ROSA, CALIF.

DEAR GRATEFUL MOTHER: You married a wise and compassionate man, and I want to thank you for sharing an important message for other parents of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning children.

DEAR ABBY: I’m an alcoholic. My husband blames it for everything that goes wrong in our lives.

Not invited to a coveted party? They must have heard what an ass I made of myself four years ago.

I love my husband and don’t want to leave him. However, he is blind to the similarities to his overeating and smoking.

I’m at my wit’s end.

He refuses to see, while pointing out to our friends that I’m not supposed to drink, that I could be as nasty as he is and say things like, “You’re not supposed to smoke,” or, “You’re overweight and shouldn’t eat that.”

I’m sick of being humiliated and tired of feeling like I owe him something because he “overlooks” me being an alcoholic. How can I get him to see that these things are all addictions and hard to kick, and he

should quit looking down his nose at me? -- HUMILIATED IN TEXAS DEAR HUMILIATED: Your letter proves the truth of the saying that alcoholism is a “family disease.” The more your husband draws attention to your alcohol problem, the less he is forced to confront his own addictions to food and tobacco, and it also serves as a distraction. It’s comfortable for him, allows him to feel superior and benefits him because it makes him an object of sympathy. This is neither helpful nor healthy for either of you.

I have said many times that you cannot change another person. However, a licensed mental health professional may be able to help you understand why you tolerate your husband’s behavior -- and might even be able to give you insight into why you drink the way you do.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You may not get the closure or epiphany you sought. In fact, it is unlikely to happen. But you’ll get a result you weren’t expecting, and that surprise will be even more revelatory.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You were once walking toward a goal, and now you’re chasing it. There’s a point at which the chase is exhilarating and another point at which it’s exhausting.

Pace yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It’s said that those who can’t take the bad will never see the good. That’s not entirely true.

It’s just that no one can truly appreciate the good without a contrasting experience.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Whatever you want to do, hang out with others who do it. Your instincts for making money, spreading love and perpetuating human decency will be strengthened in the company of those who do the same.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Feeling deprived? Declare it! Maybe

it’s sleep, a creative outlet or a supportive friendship that you’re lacking. Get specific about your needs, and you will easily get them met.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Tardy people play on the insecurities of their waiting victims.

When people are late, everyone wonders whether they ever wanted to show up in the first place. Be prompt, win friends, earn trust.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You inwardly roll your eyes at people who work too hard at being dominant. You prefer to let your work speak for itself. If they need it enough, they’ll pay the right price for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You haven’t been able to act on a lot of your good ideas. That’s just life. Think about the opportunities you have been able to capitalize on. You’re due for another bout of terrific luck, and it happens when you stay positive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Whether or not you are

a parent, someone in need of comfort, protection and nurturing will be drawn to you. You don’t have to know how to help.

Your willingness to help will be enough.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The group discussion will be comprised of a wide array of opinions. Is there a way that everyone can be right at the same time? No, but there is rightness in each stance, and it will bring you good fortune to look for it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s not like you have anything to hide. You’re not a spy or a member of a secret society.

You’re not doing anything you shouldn’t be doing. But privacy is a treasure. You appreciate those who respect yours the best.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You may be unsure because of your mighty company or because this is all new to you, but let nothing intimidate you. “Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.” -- Helen Keller

» KENTUCKY SURVIVES SCARE FROM IRISH » DEKKER LEADS BADGERS PAST ARIZONA » IZZO WORKS MORE MARCH MAGIC » DUKE GETS DEFENSIVE AGAINST GONZAGA

A WEEKLY SPIN AROUND THE WORLD OF COLLEGE HOOPS Best of the Regions MIDWEST REGION Best Team: Kentucky Biggest Upset: Wichita State over Kansas Most Surprising Team: Wichita State Most Disappointing Team: Kansas Best Player: Karl-Anthony Towns, Kentucky. This is the kind of team Kentucky has: The guy who had one point against West Virginia — a game UK won by nearly 40 points — was unstoppable in the next game. Towns finished 10-of-13 for 25 points with five rebounds and four assists against Notre Dame in the regional final, and Kentucky needed every bit of it in a 68–66 win.

Honorable Mention: Zach Auguste, Notre Dame; Willie Cauley-Stein, Kentucky; Jerian Grant, Notre Dame; Fred VanVleet, Wichita State; Steve Vasturia, Notre Dame Best Game: Kentucky 68, Notre Dame 66. In the best game of the NCAA Tournament so far, Notre Dame led by as many as six points with 6:14 left before Kentucky took over. The Wildcats hit their final nine shots of the game over the final 10:24.

Free throws from Andrew Harrison, though, provided the final margin.

Athlon Sports’ Final Four Breakdown

WEST REGION Best Team: Wisconsin Biggest Upset: Georgia State over Baylor Most Surprising Team: Xavier Most Disappointing Team: Baylor Best Player: Sam Dekker, Wisconsin. Dekker had hardly been an overwhelming player for the Badgers even if he has always been considered a pro prospect. That changed in the 2014 NCAA Tournament. Dekker had six career 20-point games in his entire career two weeks ago. He has three in four NCAA games, including 20 in the second half against Arizona.

Honorable Mention: R.J. Hunter, Georgia State; Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin; T.J. McConnell, Arizona; Marcus Paige, North Carolina; Matt Stainbrook, Xavier; Joseph Young, Oregon Best Game: Ole Miss 94, BYU 90. BYU was involved in yet another First Four thriller, this time losing to an Ole Miss team making a furious second-half comeback. How often do you see two teams scoring 90 in regulation in college basketball in 2015?

Aaron Harrison and Willie Cauley-Stein celebrate Kentucky’s fourth trip to the Final Four in the John Calipari era. The Cats won the title in 2012.

Sam Dekker and Frank Kaminsky form one of the nation’s most potent frontcourt duos.

The have combined to average 32.6 points and 14.4 rebounds per game.

KENTUCKY WILDCATS

WISCONSIN BADGERS

2014-15 Record: 38–0, 18–0 SEC Head Coach: John Calipari (sixth Final Four) Projected Starters: G — Andrew Harrison (9.2 ppg, 3.6 apg, 79.0 FT%), G — Aaron Harrison (11.0 ppg, 1.1 spg, 39.2 FG%), F — Trey Lyles (8.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 48.9 FG%), F — Karl-Anthony Towns (10.1 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 2.3 bpg, 56.4 FG%), C — Willie Cauley-Stein (9.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 1.7 bpg) Will win the national title if... Kentucky keeps being Kentucky. The Wildcats are the first 38–0 team in Final Four history, so what more could be said about what makes Kentucky great?

The next two games will probably be more like the win over Notre Dame (a two-point nailbiter) than the rout of West Virginia (a 39-point win). Kentucky responded to the pressure by playing flawless basketball in the final 12 minutes against the Irish.

Will lose to Wisconsin on Saturday if... Notre Dame gave teams a blueprint to beat the Wildcats. The threat of Notre Dame’s outside shooters was able to open up the lane for Zach Auguste to score 20 points. Wisconsin has the long-range shooters, and, instead of Auguste, the Badgers have the All-American Frank Kaminsky.

2014-15 Record: 35–3, 16–2 Big Ten Head Coach: Bo Ryan (second Final Four) Projected Starters: G — Bronson Koenig (8.6 ppg, 2.4 apg, 2.8 A/TO), G — Josh Gasser (6.9 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 44.4 FG%), F — Nigel Hayes (12.4 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 50.2 FG%), F — Sam Dekker (13.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 52.6 FG%), C — Frank Kaminsky (18.7 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 2.7 apg, 41.5 3PT%) Will win the national title if... Dekker continues to play out of his mind. Wisconsin’s offense was already the most efficient in the country, and Dekker was already a mighty talented player.

He’s taken his play to a new level in the NCAA Tournament. He’s averaging 21.8 points per game and shooting 60.4 percent from the field in the last four games.

Will lose to Kentucky on Saturday if... the Wildcats’ defense stymies the Wisconsin attack.

This will be the nation’s most efficient offense against the nation’s most efficient defense.

Moreover, Kentucky’s big men have the versatility defensively to guard Kaminsky and Dekker.

Wisconsin’s duo hasn’t faced a big defender all year who can guard the perimeter like Willie Cauley-Stein.

Best Team: Michigan State Biggest Upset: NC State over Villanova Most Surprising Team: Dayton Most Disappointing Team: Villanova Best Player: Travis Trice, Michigan State. Just about everyone from Michigan State is peaking at this point of the season, but especially Trice. In the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin, Trice had six points and went 0-of-4 from 3-point range. In the NCAA Tournament, he’s averaging 19.8 points and four assists per game. He’s also been a clutch free throw shooter (16-of-18) on a team that sorely needs it.

Honorable Mention: Wayne Blackshear, Louisville; Montrezl Harrell, Louisville; Buddy Hield, Oklahoma; Trevor Lacey, NC State; Terry Rozier, Louisville; Denzel Valentine, Michigan State Best Game: NC State 71, Villanova 68. Two days after rallying past LSU in improbable fashion, NC State knocked off No. 1 seed Villanova to advance to the Sweet 16. The Wolfpack led by seven with 1:30 remaining but saw the lead dwindle to one in the final seconds before holding on for the thrilling win.

SOUTH REGION Best Team: Duke Biggest Upset: UAB over Iowa State Most Surprising Team: UCLA Most Disappointing Team: Iowa State Best Player: Justise Winslow, Duke. Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones entered the NCAAs with more fanfare, and the leadership of senior Quinn Cook has been a feel-good story. No one in the NCAA Tournament, though, has been more valuable than Winslow. In four NCAA games, Winslow has averaged 14.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and better than one block and one steal per game.

Honorable Mention: Bryce Alford, UCLA; Robert Brown, UAB; Tyus Jones, Duke; Jahlil Okafor, Duke; Domantas Sabonis, Gonzaga; Kyle Wiltjer, Gonzaga Best Game: Duke 66, Gonzaga 52. That 14-point final margin didn’t do the game justice, even if it was the most lopsided game in this year’s Elite Eight. This was a four-point game with four minutes to go before the Blue Devils flexed their muscles and pulled away for the double-digit win.

Denzel Valentine and the Michigan State Spartans are the only non-No. 1 seed in the 2015 Final Four. MSU was the No. 7 seed in the East Region.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has his team in the Final Four for the first time since 2010, when the Blue Devils beat Butler to win the national title.

MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS

DUKE BLUE DEVILS

2014-15 Record: 27–11, 12–6 Big Ten Head Coach: Tom Izzo (seventh Final Four) Projected Starters: G — Travis Trice (15.3 ppg, 5.1 apg, 1.1 spg), G — Lourawls Nairn Jr. (2.2 ppg, 2.4 apg, 2.7 rpg), G — Denzel Valentine (14.3 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 4.4 apg), F — Branden Dawson (11.9 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 1.8 apg), F — Matt Costello (7.1 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 58 FG%) Will win the national title if... Michigan State continues to have the magic touch. The Spartans won’t be the most talented team in Indianapolis — far from it. But Izzo’s team, led by savvy veterans Trice, Valentine and Dawson, has made the big shots and grabbed the big rebounds at the right times. Also, the Spartans need to continue to hit their free throws on a consistent basis — something they did not do during the regurlar season.

Will lose to Duke on Saturday if... Duke overwhelms Michigan State. Feel free to argue that the Spartans were under-seeded as a No. 7, but Michigan State was 19–10 a month ago. This is a team that plays well as a group, but from a talent standpoint, the Spartans will have trouble matching up with Duke’s Big 3.

2014-15 Record: 33–4, 15–3 ACC Head Coach: Mike Krzyzewski (12th Final Four) Projected Starters: G — Tyus Jones (11.5 ppg, 5.7 apg, 2.8 A/TO), G — Quinn Cook (15.7 ppg, 46.0 FG%, 40.5 3PT%), G — Matt Jones (5.9 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 37.4 3PT%, F — Justise Winslow (12.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 49.1 FG%), C — Jahlil Okafor (17.7 pp, 8.7 rpg, 67.4 FG%) Will win the national title if... The Blue Devils turn out to be the best offensive team in the Final Four. That’s a big ask, considering that Kentucky and Wisconsin — potential opponents in the championship game — are in the top five in offensive efficiency on KenPom. Duke, though, is the most up-tempo of the 3. If Okafor, Jones, Cook and Winslow can go head-to-head with the best Kentucky and Wisconsin have to offer, the Blue Devils could give Krzyzewski his fifth title in an already momentous year.

Will lose to Michigan State on Saturday if... Michigan State’s guards rule the day. The Spartans rank seventh in the country in assists per field goal made, and Travis Trice and Denzel Valentine can get hot from 3-point range.

Kansas freshman Oubre leaving for NBA’s draft The Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas swingman Kelly Oubre Jr. announced Wednesday he is leaving for the NBA draft, skipping his final three seasons of eligibility after an up-anddown freshman year.

Oubre revealed his intentions in a statement released by the school.

“It’s always been a dream to play in the NBA,” he said. “This is an opportunity to play against the best in the world and expand my game.”

The 6-foot-7 Oubre start-

ed 27 games this past season, helping the Jayhawks win their 11th straight Big 12 title. He averaged 9.3 points and five rebounds, and showcased his potential when he poured in 25 points in a victory over TCU in the Big 12 Tournament.

His decision to leave for the NBA is based more on potential than productivity. He scored three points on 1-for-3 shooting in a loss to Iowa State in the Big 12 title game, then had just nine points in in a loss to Wichita State in the round

of 32 in the NCAA Tournament.

But with impressive athleticism, stifling defense and a deft outside touch, Oubre left a strong impression with NBA scouts who came through Lawrence last season.

“This should come as really no surprise to anybody that has followed us,” Kansas coach Bill Self said.

“Kelly came in being well thought of by NBA personnel and certainly, nothing has changed in that regard.

In the time he was here he’s been a great ambassa-

dor, a great teammate and obviously a very talented player.”

Oubre, who is expected to be among the first 20 players chosen in the June draft, said he spoke with several former Kansas players before making his decision. Among them was Joel Embiid, who was chosen third overall last year — two spots behind Jayhawks teammate Andrew Wiggins.

“JoJo said he knows what I am going through and he told me his process and some of the things he

went through,” Oubre said.

“It’s definitely been a hard and tough decision.”

Oubre is the first player to announce he is leaving Kansas, but he may not be the last.

Fellow freshman Cliff Alexander’s future remains in question after he was forced to miss the final few weeks of the season due to an investigation into improper benefits. Leading scorer Perry Ellis could also opt to skip his senior season, though few mock drafts have him rated highly.

Kansas has already signed five-star power forward Carlton Bragg, and Self has met with 7-foot center Mike Thorn Jr., who is transferring from Charlotte. The Jayhawks are also deeply invested in Jaylen Brown and Malik Newman, two of the top uncommitted recruits in the country.

“On the surface this presents a void on our perimeter from last year,” Self said, “but this is something we have known could happen for several months and we are prepared for it.”

Allegations against Taylor dropped The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The woman who said former Alabama football player Jonathan Taylor assaulted her has recanted the allegations and was arrested.

The 24-year-old woman, who has not been identified, was charged with false reporting to law enforcement, Tuscaloosa police said Wednesday in a release. She was released on bond.

The charges will be reviewed by the court system, said Lt. Kip Hart, assistant commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide unit, which oversees domestic violence cases.

The Tuscaloosa County district attorney’s office did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Alabama also didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Taylor was arrested on Saturday and coach Nick Saban dismissed the defensive lineman the following day. He was charged with domestic violence third-degree assault and domestic violence thirddegree criminal mischief after the woman reported injuries to her neck and damage to her apartment. She had said a verbal argument allegedly turned physical.

Two days later, she contacted investigators and said

Taylor had not hurt her. She maintained in further interviews on Tuesday that she had lied about the incident that led to Taylor’s arrest.

Officers also “observed physical injuries” to the woman before making the arrest, Hart said.

Kathryn Boortz, an Atlanta criminal defense attorney focused on family violence, said the woman’s recantation makes getting a conviction difficult if a decision is made to still pursue the charges.

“It’s incredibly common for accusers to recant and this makes it extremely difficult for the prosecution because there’s usually only one wit-

ness,” said Boortz, a former public defender. “Sometimes, particularly in a high profile case such as with an athlete, prosecutors will stay in the game longer to show they’re not giving a free pass because of the athlete’s semi-celebrity status.

“The prosecutor is more likely to go the extra mile in speaking with the accuser or seeking out neighbors or other witnesses.”

The 6-foot-4, 335-pound lineman was dismissed from Georgia in July 2014 following his arrest on aggravated assault and family violence charges for allegedly punching and choking his girlfriend.

Senators want 5-foot-9 Ulis coming up big for Kentucky FIFA to move ’18 World Cup The Associated Press

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Thirteen U.S. Senators asked FIFA to consider taking the 2018 World Cup out of Russia because of what they call that country’s “ongoing violations of the territorial integrity of Ukraine.”

In a letter released Wednesday, a day after it was sent, lawmakers including Wisconsin Republican Ron Johnson, Illinois Democrat Richard Durbin and Arizona Republican John McCain told Sepp Blatter, the head of soccer’s governing body, that letting Russia host the event “inappropriately bolsters the prestige” of President Vladimir Putin’s “regime at a time it when it should be condemned.”

They suggested that FIFA hold an extraordinary congress to vote on whether to move the 2018 tournament to another site.

According to the letter, more than 40 countries, including nearly half of the field from the 2014 World Cup, have Please see FIFA | 13

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Being Kentucky’s smallest player on the floor hasn’t prevented 5-foot-9 point guard Tyler Ulis from repeatedly coming up big for the Wildcats.

He’ll likely need to do it again this weekend.

Next up for Ulis and Kentucky to complete an unbeaten championship season is a Final Four rematch with Wisconsin.

The Badgers (35-3) match up well with Kentucky (38-0), averaging nearly three fewer turnovers per game and shooting slightly better from 3-point range. So not only will the Wildcats have to work harder to create scoring opportunities, they must shoot better from the perimeter.

Those challenges seem tailor-made for Ulis, a pesky defender and arguably Kentucky’s best ballhandler. And

he’s capable of knocking down clutch shots; his 3-pointer helped Kentucky rally to beat Notre Dame in Saturday’s Midwest Region final.

“I like to lead,” said Ulis, who backs up Andrew Harrison but has frequently played with him and twin brother Aaron Harrison. “Certain guys, I just try to get them into the game and tell them what to do. I just try to be a leader on the court.”

Ulis leads Kentucky averag-

ing 3.7 assists per game, just ahead of Andrew Harrison (3.6). His lob passes to Kentucky’s big men have often resulted in memorable, thunderous dunks.

“I won’t say my court vision or awareness has improved, but I’ve been better at throwing lobs,” Ulis added. “That’s something I struggled with early in the year because I was Please see ULIS | 13

Prosecutors allow NFL to see photos from Hardy’s trial The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Prosecutors in North Carolina have agreed to let the NFL see photographs from Greg Hardy’s domestic violence trial as the league considers whether to suspend the defensive end who signed with Dallas last month.

An order filed Wednesday in a North Carolina court grants limited access to the NFL, the players association

and attorneys for Hardy. The order says the photographs were provided by someone outside law enforcement. The NFL sued for access to them.

The photos were part of the Mecklenburg County district attorney’s evidence when the former Carolina player was convicted by a judge last year.

The conviction was dismissed in February after the accuser couldn’t be found to testify when Hardy requested a jury

trial.

“We appreciate the District Attorney’s office agreeing to make the information available to us and we look forward to the opportunity to review the photographs,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.

The Cowboys signed the 26-year-old Hardy to a oneyear deal based heavily on incentives related to how many games he plays. The contract

could be worth up to $13 million.

The NFL’s agreement makes it more likely that Hardy will be suspended to start the season. He played just one game last year before going on the commissioner’s exempt list, where he remains as the league investigates under a personal conduct policy that was revised after Hardy’s Please see HARDY | 13

used to throwing to guys and everybody was, like, 6-3 in high school. Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now on the same (page), and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a great job with the lobs.â&#x20AC;?

Then there are moments when he has to do it himself.

In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nail-biter against the Fighting Irish, Kentucky trailed 59-53 with about six minutes left and was struggling to score. Ulisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; timely 3-pointer sparked a Wildcats rally, and Kentucky went on to win 68-66. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole bench was yelling at me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shoot the ball, shoot the ball!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; when (Karl-Anthony Towns) had it,â&#x20AC;? Ulis said of the shot.

Ulis has been just as fearless shooting in traffic, putting up his soft jumper over several taller Cincinnati defenders in a round-of-32 victory. Though shorter than nearly everyone he plays against, he succeeds because of a will that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let him quit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People look at his size, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a disadvantage to me,â&#x20AC;? fellow guard Devin Booker said of Ulis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you can see, he can still perform at this level and he has played against bigger guards. We all see what Tyler can do.â&#x20AC;?

Ulis is also proving to be one of Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goto guys in the postseason, averaging 29 minutes per contest. He has also added nearly seven points per

game to his average while posting a 4.3-1.1 assiststo-turnover ratio.

None of Ulisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poise and resilience surprises Mike Taylor, his high school coach at Marian Catholic in Chicago Heights, Illinois.

The coach recalls Ulis playing his freshman year in high school with a stress fracture in his foot, so it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big deal for the guard to continue playing with a butterfly bandage over his right eye after taking an elbow against archrival Louisville in December. He led Kentucky with a careerhigh 14 points in the 5850 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know how competitive and how skilled he is, and all he needed was an opportunity to show what he can do,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He dealt with those types of things for four years, and he just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to slack off. He just toughs it out.â&#x20AC;?

Ulisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; toughness was on display again during the Southeastern Conference Tournament, when went toe-to-toe in a confrontation with 7-2 Auburn center Trayvon Reed.

Neither player appeared ready to come to blows, but Ulis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who drew a technical foul â&#x20AC;&#x201D; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back down as he stared up at Reed.

Ulis later downplayed the incident, saying it was just a heat-of-themoment reaction. Maybe, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a lot of big moments this year.

Serena Williams earns 700th victory Williams won despite an unreliable serve, a poor second set and 51 unforced errors. She looked flatfooted and listless at times, and seemed especially vexed when playing on the side looking into the sun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always tough on that side,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see. You just have to adjust.â&#x20AC;?

She did, earning her 16th consecutive victory on Key Biscayne, where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the two-time defending champion.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know today wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my best day,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just told myself, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not serving the way I normally serve and hitting the way I normally would hit, so at this point all I can do is just fight and try to give 200 percent instead of 100 percent.â&#x20AC;?

Two-time champion Andy Murray advanced to the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinals by rallying past unseeded Dominic Thiem 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponent Friday will be the winner of the quarterfinal

Wednesday night between No. 8 Tomas Berdych and unseeded Juan Monaco.

Williams improved her career record to 700-120, making her the eighth woman in the Open Era to reach the milestone.

She was presented with a cake on the court, similar to the honor Murray received following his 500th victory Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think my destiny was to play tennis,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a picture where I was in a stroller on the tennis court.â&#x20AC;?

trial.

Hardy, who had 26 sacks combined in his last two full seasons with the Panthers, made $13.1 million last season as their franchise player. He was paid while on the exempt

list.

A judge convicted Hardy after a woman testified that he threw her in the bathroom and later onto a futon covered with guns, placed his hands on her throat and threatened to kill her. Hardy denied those allegations, saying

the woman became angry when he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have sex with her.

The NFL filed a lawsuit two weeks ago seeking photos that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t among the evidence the league was given by police. Prosecutors had denied the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request

for the evidence.

The league will withdraw its lawsuit under the agreement, which says the NFL canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reproduce or publish the photos, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but may describe, draw conclusions from or reference the photosâ&#x20AC;? in any disciplinary matter.

2018 World Cup.â&#x20AC;?

Asked to comment on the letter, FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fischer rejected the notion that it makes sense to strip Russia of the World Cup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;History has shown so far that boycotting sport

events or a policy of isolation or confrontation are not the most effective ways to solve problems,â&#x20AC;? Fischer wrote Wednesday in an email to The Associated Press, adding that hosting the World Cup â&#x20AC;&#x153;can be a powerful catalyst for con-

structive dialogue between people and governments, helping to bring positive social developments.â&#x20AC;?

Fischer also wrote that FIFA believes it â&#x20AC;&#x153;can achieve positive change in the world, but football cannot be seen as a solution for

all issues, particularly those related to world politics.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen that the FIFA World Cup can be a force for good,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and FIFA believes this will be the case for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.â&#x20AC;?
