Bill provides teacher pay increase BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Mississippi gets an “A” in its recent rewarding of public school teachers. Gov. Phil Bryant signed a bill Tuesday giving teachers a $2,500 pay increase over the next two years. Teachers will also still receive their normal annual raises. “I am extremely excited teach-
ers are getting a state-funded pay increase,” said Corinth District Superintendent Dr. Lee Childress. “It has been seven or eight years since teachers have received any additional state-funded raise, and it’s something that is well deserved.” “It’s long overdue and I am elated they understand what our teachers do and how much time
beginning July 1, 2015. Mississippi had the secondlowest average teacher pay in the nation in 2013 at $41,994, above only South Dakota, according to a survey by the National Education Association. “Every year, our students lose good teachers to our neighboring
they put in inspiring students,” added Alcorn District Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith. “Teachers work exceptionally hard to prepare for their classes … they work so many hours and have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of students.” The bill includes a $1,500 raise July 1 and a $1,000 raise that would follow in the budget year

Corinth High School Follies Board questions
use of school buses BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
The use of four school buses to shuttle Brantley Gilbert concert goers from a satellite parking lot to the Crossroads Arena is being questioned. Alcorn School District Board Member Carroll Morton addressed the issue at Monday’s board of education meeting. “I would like to not do this anymore ... especially with such a short notice,” said Morton. “The event was for profit. The arena is for profit. I feel like they can hire charter buses to shuttle people to and from a concert.” According to Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith, the school district received an e-
mail from Crossroads Arena General Manager Tammy Genovese at 3:48 p.m., Friday, March 28, one day prior to the reMorton cord breaking Gilbert concert. “The e-mail requested the use of four of our school buses with insurance provided to transport people from the old Quebecor World employee parking lot on Tate Street to the arena entrance,” said Smith. “The e-mail noted Please see BUSES | 2

Dramatized talk headlines Contraband Symposium BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Taking the stage together in 1863, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and Frederick Douglass tackled the burning questions of the day. That was the premise of a dramatized discussion among the three at the Corinth Coliseum Civic Center as part of the Contraband Camp Symposium events. George Buss (Lincoln), E.C. Fields Jr. (Grant) and Michael Crutcher (Douglass) spent an hour in deep, sometimes passionate discussion, although it was not free of a bit of humor, as well. “We have set upon a course in my administration of keep-
ing the union together,” said President Lincoln. “For you remember at my inauguration, I laid my hand upon the Bible to preserve, protect and defend the constitution, so help me God. So my oath is registered in heaven and, constitutionally, once this government was established, it cannot end, so we must see this thing through. And with the right military personnel, I think we can get the job done, and I aim to see it finished in my administration.” Chomping an unlit cigar throughout the talk, General Grant described his changing perspective on the severity of

So, for those folks who said, ‘That fellow Lincoln is taking his time on the slavery question,’ I must say if I’m slow, I’m not moving backwards.” Grant considered the prospect of the freedmen taking up arms and joining the fight. “The question is: Will they fight? Many are concerned that they won’t,” he said. “Many are concerned and of the conviction that they can’t … Of all the people involved in the federal military machine, the black man has the most motivation to fight. The white troop is fighting for constitutional rights and to keep this country together. The black man, if he’s enabled to fight, given a weapon, put in uniform, is fighting not only to keep the country together, but he is fighting for his own freedom, and that is a deeply intense, emotionally motivating factor to get into the fray. If they should get into the fray, they will be welcomed by all of us. And once they’ve proved themselves, they will be considered one of us.”

the war after a recent engagement. “After that battle, I wrote my wife Julia a letter that said I now think this is going to be a long and bloody war,” he said. “I used to be in the camp that believed it would be short and fairly bloodless.” Douglass, the abolitionist, saw no other way. “I have always said that the unholy, ungodly institution of slavery would never end by peaceful means,” he said. “My prediction was and still is that the war would end, slavery would end, in a sea of blood. I had hoped that it would end by peaceful means many years ago. I had listened to solutions from all. I had listened to people say that there is a negro problem. And my reply to that is that there is no negro problem. The problem has been this nation’s unwillingness to live up to its own constitution.” Having previously issued the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln pondered the implications of immediate, full emancipation as suggested by Doug-

states which pay $5,000$10,000 more than Mississippi,” said Joyce Helmick, president of the Mississippi Association of Educators. “The MAE is thrilled our efforts to improve teacher pay has been successful and applaud the legislature and governor for listening to educators.” Starting in 2016-17, teachers will also be eligible for merit payments. Schools will get merit payments – split among all teachers and employees – but excluding administrators such as principals. Schools which rate an “A’’ on the state’s A-to-F system will get $100 per student; schools which move up one grade will get the same. Schools rated “B’’ will get $75 per student. “Teaching isn’t a job where you get a lot of thanks,” said Smith. “The dynamics are so different than they were 20 years ago, but teachers work hard to keep up with the standards.” Teachers also will get their yearly step raise of at least $495. Those with advanced degrees are set to get larger annual raises. “With the demands being placed on teachers by Common Core standards, the state certainly needed

to pay those individuals,” said Childress. “It’s a step in a positive way.” Cost of the raises will be $60 million in the first year and an additional $40 million in year two. Estimates show that the merit pay plan will cost $24 million using the most recent school ratings. “It’s front-loaded over the first three years which allows us to offer a better incentive to teachers,” said Childress. “Our members made thousands of contacts with elected officials to create this important first step in the right direction to reduce the critical shortage in our classrooms,” added Helmick. The bill also pledges to develop some sort of pay plan for high-performing teachers in lower-rated schools before 2016-17.

weather as the reason for request.” Due to the urgency of the request, Smith contacted each board member for a vote and arranged insurance paperwork via email so buses could be ready for use by concert time. “It was very hard to get it done in the few hours provided,” added Smith. “I made it clear, however, this couldn’t happen again.” Smith said she contacted arena staff the week following the concert and noted all future requests should be formally submitted prior to public board meetings. “I don’t want to put anyone in a bind,” said Morton. “I just don’t want them thinking we are always going to say yes, even if they wait until the last minute to make the
request.” Board President Mary Coleman said providing buses to the arena is an act of community cooperation. Board member Randy Wilbanks said the new requirement is a good one. “I think it’s important to hear how the rest of the board feels about this type of request from the arena and I think case-by-case is best going forward,” said Wilbanks. “As long as it gets on the public meeting agenda and we all have the opportunity to talk about it publicly, everything will work out.” Genovese previously said the Gilbert concert broke all previous marks in attendance, concessions and merchandise sales.

Today in history
Soles for Souls Shelby McElwain (left) and Hannah Holt go through the huge donation of shoes for Soles for Souls. Organizers of the Corinth Classic 10K are holding a collection drive to fight global poverty. Gently worn shoes can be dropped off at Austin’s Shoes, Magnolia Regional Health Center, Cooley and Labas Financial Advisors, Corinth Middle School, Corinth High School, Corinth Coke or the 10K on race day. Thus far, 600 pairs have been collected in the goal to reach 1,000 pairs.
Today is Thursday, April 24, the 114th day of 2014. There are 251 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On April 24, 1916, some 1,600 Irish nationalists launched the Easter Rising by seizing several key sites in Dublin. (The rising was put down by British forces almost a week later.)
On this date: In 1792, the national anthem of France, “La Marseillaise”, was composed by Captain Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle. In 1800, Congress approved a bill establishing the Library of Congress. In 1898, Spain declared war on the United States. (The United States responded in kind the next day.) In 1913, the 792-foot Woolworth Building, at that time the tallest skyscraper in the world, officially opened in Manhattan as President Woodrow Wilson pressed a button at the White House to signal the lighting of the towering structure. In 1915, what’s regarded as the start of the Armenian genocide began as the Ottoman Empire rounded up Armenian political and cultural leaders in Constantinople. In 1932, in the Free State of Prussia, the Nazi Party gained a plurality of seats in parliamentary elections. In 1953, British statesman Winston Churchill was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1962, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology achieved the first satellite relay of a television signal, using NASA’s Echo 1 balloon satellite to bounce a video image from Camp Parks, Calif., to Westford, Mass. In 1970, the People’s Republic of China launched its first satellite, which kept transmitting a song, “The East Is Red.” In 1980, the United States launched an unsuccessful attempt to free the American hostages in Iran, a mission that resulted in the deaths of eight U.S. servicemen. In 1990, the space shuttle Discovery blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., carrying the $1.5 billion Hubble Space Telescope.

Partnership binds MSU, school BY SUSAN COLLINS-SMITH MSU Ag Communications
Students at Forrest County Agricultural High School now have the resources of Mississippi State University at their fingertips. The school entered a partnership with the MSU Extension Service this year that allows students, faculty and staff to attend Extension educational trainings through an interactive video system. Extension and school representatives and local and state officials marked the occasion with a ribbon cutting April 8 at the high school. The Extension Center for Technology Outreach teamed with Forrest County Extension agents to provide the audiovisual system, which is currently housed in one of the school’s two computer labs. It will be relocated to the career center once construction is complete. The system allows two-way communication between two or more sites equipped with similar technology. Interactive video systems are located in all 82 county Extension offices, four regional Extension centers, 12 research sites and on campus. This partnership follows the donation of 53 used computers from Extension in 2013. “We are so grateful that everyone at Mississippi State worked

with us to make this happen for our students,” said Jerry Morgan, FCAHS superintendent. “When I came on board a few years ago, we were facing consolidation. Now, we have cuttingedge technology and the ability to connect with one of the best agricultural research universities in the nation.” FCAHS is one of three independent agricultural school districts in the state. About 600 ninth through 12th graders attend the school. The curriculum consists of traditional classes and six career and technology programs: health sciences, drafting, agriculture, horticulture, law enforcement and business. “We can provide an education to students who want to go to college, but not every child wants to pursue a four-year degree,” Morgan said. “The vocational training we deliver is valuable, and this partnership is going to enhance the education of students with either interest.” Kellee Lassiter, a Forrest County Extension agent who helped connect high school personnel with Extension administrators to forge the partnership, said this equipment will help
BY WHAT AUTHORITY?
While Jesus was in the temple, the chief priests, scribes and elders came to Him and asked, “ ... By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things (Mark 11 :28)? Jesus asked them a question “The baptism of John was it from heaven or of men? answer me” (Mark 11:30). All religious authority comes from heaven or from men. Paul taught there must be religious authority for all that we believe, teach and practice religiously. “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” (Colossians 3:17). To do something in the name of Christ is to do it by His authority. Many things are taught and practiced religiously for which there is no authority. Before there can be authority for a teaching or practice, it must be taught in the Bible. When people are really serious about going to heaven they will compare what they believe and teach with what is revealed in the Bible. Honest people will give up any practice or teaching that is contrary to what the Bible reveals. The Bible is the basis for our faith according to, Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. By faith Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than his brother Cain according to Hebrews 11 :4, “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain ...”, One cannot do something by faith, unless first there is Bible teaching for it. There seems to be an attitude today, “if I like it, God will accept”. Should we not seek to please God rather than doing that which may please us? Should we not accept God’s directions instead of trying to direct our own steps? “O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps” (Jeremiah 10:23). All will be judged by the word of the Lord, “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48).

students both inside and outside the classroom. “Students will benefit from this relationship in more than one way,” Lassiter said. “They can easily access any class or workshop to supplement their classwork, but it can also help 4-H’ers. They will have direct access to any of our faculty, specialists or agents. I plan to use the system to do some programs for the students, some of whom are 4-H members.” Gary Jackson, Extension Service director, said he is excited about the partnership. “Technology is a key tool in educating people, and our mission in Extension is to deliver researchproven information to the people of the state,” Jackson said to the crowd gathered at the ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the partnership. “It was clear we could enrich your ag program through our Extension distance learning seminars, workshops, courses and certificate programs. But the other important thing to realize is that you can help us. Having access to your ag teachers and your ag program will help us understand how we can better meet the needs of teachers, schools and communities.”

Corinth, Miss.
Paul makes a muddle CHICAGO — Let some candidates seek the middle. Rand Paul is comfortable in the muddle. Some have said the junior senator from Kentucky is the most “intriguing” of the possible Republican presidential candidates for 2016. But if he is the most intriguRoger ing, it is not because he is the Simon most interesting. It is because it’s so hard to figure out just Columnist what he is saying. Abortion? That ought to be easy for a conservative such as Paul, right? Not so fast there. “I think the debate is about when life begins,” Paul said, stating the problem but not the solution, something he has become very adept at doing. “Is it OK for an 8-pound baby to be aborted one week before delivery? If the mother says she’s anxious and wants to ‘kill myself,’ you can have the abortion one day before it’s due.” Paul was speaking at the University of Chicago in an event sponsored by its Institute of Politics. His questioner was the institute’s founder and former Obama aide, David Axelrod. And Axelrod tried to pin Paul down several times. But it was like trying to pin down quicksand. Axelrod asked Paul to state when he thinks life begins. “My personal religious belief is that life begins at the very beginning,” Paul said. He then said that currently, the abortion debate in America is between those who believe in “all life and no abortion” and those who believe in “all abortion and no life.” “I think the law will come down in between,” Paul said. “I think the public is in the middle.” Or in a muddle as to just what Paul believes the law should be. But how about affirmative action and college admission, seeing as that has been in the news this week? “There was a time when we needed special protections, but we’ve come a long way,” Paul said. “But I think a person ought to be accepted on character or scores.” Asked about U.S. intervention — a sticky issue with libertarians, who usually favor no intervention unless terrorists are actually landing troops on the shores of New Jersey — Paul dived quickly into the muddle once again. He said the argument is between two extremes, “those who would fight nowhere” and those who would fight “everywhere all the time.” But is that really true? Is it really that simple? And what foreign policy would President Paul derive from that keen analysis? “Let’s try not to be Pollyanna about making the world ‘safe for democracy,’” Paul said, using a phrase coined by Woodrow Wilson 97 years ago and rarely invoked today. But wouldn’t Paul intervene to prevent an atrocity overseas like the Holocaust, even if U.S. security were not at stake? Axelrod asked. “Haiti, after the earthquake, yeah,” Paul said. “And atrocity in Africa? Yeah, we can help to corral other countries.” But a real problem, Paul said, is how much the United States wastes every year on foreign aid. “Government-to-government aid is the history of corruption,” Paul said. “Almost invariably, the money is stolen. We should vastly reduce foreign aid, especially to countries where they burn our flag.” Moving right along, how about pollution? “We should minimize pollution,” Paul said. “But we have gone completely crazy with pollution laws.” It was not all Looney Tunes. At one point, Paul quoted Marx. Not Karl but Groucho. “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies,” Paul said, giving Groucho full credit. But I think Paul believes this joke is revealed truth. And he believes that it is safest to not look for trouble, to make no real diagnoses and apply no remedies whatsoever. That way, you offend the least number of people. It may not solve any of America’s problems, but it could get a guy elected. “I don’t say that the president is a bad person,” Paul said, referring to Barack Obama. “But I worry about the next president and the next.” I do, too.

When government looks more like foe than friend The Cliven Bundy case in Nevada provides many insights into the state of our nation with respect to the relationship between the people and the government. The Bundys appear to be honorable American citizens without adequate legal counsel to help resolve a federal land issue about which they disagree with the Bureau of Land Management. Without question, they violated some of the innumerable laws and regulations that continue to entangle every aspect of American life. Their violations certainly could have been handled through a multitude of less brutal means than those employed by our federal government, which through the mouthpiece of Sen. Harry Reid emphasizes how important it is for the government to enforce its laws. It is quite interesting to see, though, that those same bureaucrats refuse to enforce some of our federal border-protection laws and other domestic policies with which they disagree. Perhaps Reid’s time could be better spent explaining why it is acceptable for the federal government to pick and choose which laws it wishes to enforce. The senator readily referred to the Bundys and their supporters as “domestic terrorists,” but the current administration is reticent about applying the same term to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who admitted slaughtering more than a dozen people in 2009 at Fort Hood in Texas. What does this tell us about our
government and its perceptions and alignments? The massive show of federal Ben force in the Carson Bundy case is frightenColumnist ing because it gives us a brief glimpse of the totalitarian regime that awaits a sleeping populace that does not take seriously its voting responsibilities and places in public office (and returns to public office) people who do not represent traditional American values. The fact that the ranchers were well armed and willing to literally fight for their rights probably tempered the enthusiasm of the federal forces to engage in further aggression. It was clear from the body language and from some of the reported verbal responses of the government forces that they were not prepared to engage in lethal combat with fellow Americans. Those Americans who are concerned about the possible future imposition of martial law after a financial collapse or some other event should take solace in knowing that many military and law enforcement personnel would likely refuse to obey commands inconsistent with freedom and American values. Such commands could emanate from any political party in the future, but it is likely that such a party would be one controlling an administration that selectively enforces laws and ignores or
excuses corruption. Another important lesson from this incident is the value of a well-armed citizenry. The Second Amendment was crafted by wise citizens who recognized how quickly an enemy invasion could occur and how our own government could be deceived into thinking it had the right to dominate the people. Such domination is considerably more difficult when people have arms and can put up significant resistance. This is the reason that brutal dictators like Fidel Castro, Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, Adolf Hitler and Idi Amin tried to disarm the populace before imposing governmental control. Such domination could occur in America in the not too distant future if we are not vigilant. We must be reasonable and willing to engage in conversation about how to limit the availability of dangerous weapons to criminals and violent or insane people. In light of past worldwide atrocities committed by tyrants, though, to threaten the Second Amendment rights of ordinary American citizens is itself insanity. Those wishing to ban assault weapons fail to understand the original intent of the Second Amendment. Just as insidious as the attempt to limit weapons and ammunition to lawabiding citizens is the incessant invasion of privacy by the government. Unless there is reasonable cause for suspicion as determined by a court of law, there is no need for the government to know all of the intimate de-
tails of our lives, including whom we talk to, where we spend our time and money, or which weapons we own, provided we’re not purchasing tanks or fighter planes. For our nation to once again be a thriving metropolis of freedom and innovation, the people and the government must peacefully coexist in an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. This can occur only when laws are equally enforced and political favors are a thing of the past. When obvious governmental corruption is discovered, it must be swiftly and openly dealt with, and the perpetrators must face easily verifiable punishment. This is just the opening salvo of what a trustworthy and honorable government should strive for. If we had such a government, border enforcement would be a given, the rights of the people would be respected, and events like the incident between the Bundys and the Bureau of Land Management would not occur. We the people of the United States are the only ones capable of preventing uncontrolled government expansion and abuse. Like the ranchers in Nevada, Americans must find the courage and determination to maintain a free and vibrant nation. Government should be our friend and ally. When it is, we should support it wholeheartedly. (Daily Corinthian columnist Ben S. Carson is professor emeritus of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University.)
The high cost of liberalism: Part II Liberals can be disarming. In fact, they are for disarming anybody who can be disarmed, whether domestically or internationally. Unfortunately, the people who are the easiest to disarm are the ones who are the most peaceful — and disarming them makes them vulnerable to those who are the least peaceful. We are currently getting a painful demonstration of that in Ukraine. When Ukraine became an independent nation, it gave up all the nuclear missiles that were on its territory from the days when it had been part of the Soviet Union. Among those who urged Ukraine to reduce even its conventional, non-nuclear weapons as well, was a new United States Senator named Barack Obama. He was all for disarmament then, and apparently even now as President of the United States. He has refused Ukraine’s request for weapons with which to defend itself. As with so many things that liberals do, the disarmament crusade is judged by its good intentions, not by its actual consequences.

Indeed, many liberals seem unaware that the consequences could be anyThomas thing other Sowell than what they hope Columnist for. That is why disarmament advocates are called “the peace movement.” Whether disarmament has in fact led to peace, more often than military deterrence has, is something that could be argued on the basis of the facts of history — but it seldom is. Liberals almost never talk about disarmament in terms of evidence of its consequences, whether they are discussing gun control at home or international disarmament agreements. International disarmament agreements flourished between the two World Wars. Just a few years after the end of the First World War there were the Washington Naval Agreements of 1921-1922 that led to the United States actually sinking some of its own warships.
In Britain, the Labour Party repeatedly voted against military armaments during most of the decade of the 1930s. A popular argument of the time was that Britain should disarm “as an example to others.” Unfortunately, Hitler did not follow that example. He was busy building the most powerful military machine on the continent of Europe. Nor did Germany or Japan allow the Washington Naval Agreements to cramp their style. The fact that Britain and America limited the size of their battleships simply meant that Germany and Japan had larger battleships when World War II began. What is happening in Ukraine today is just a continuation of the old story about nations that disarm increasing the chances of being attacked by nations that do not disarm. Any number of empirical studies about domestic gun control laws tell much the same story. Gun control advocates seldom, if ever, present hard evidence that gun crimes in general, or murder rates in particular, go down after
World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147
gun control laws are passed or tightened. That is the crucial question about gun control laws. But liberals settle that question by assumption. Then they can turn their attention to denouncing the National Rifle Association. But neither the National Rifle Association nor the Second Amendment is the crucial issue. If the hard facts show that gun control laws actually reduce the murder rate, we can repeal the Second Amendment, as other Amendments have been repealed. If in fact tighter gun control laws reduced the murder rate, that would be the liberals’ ace of trumps. Why then do the liberals not play their ace of trumps, by showing us such hard facts? Because they don’t have any such hard facts. So they give us lofty rhetoric and outraged indignation instead.

Facebook earnings top expectations NEW YORK — Facebook’s earnings nearly tripled and revenue grew sharply in the first quarter, surpassing Wall Street’s expectations thanks to an 82 percent increase in advertising revenue. The world’s biggest online social network said Wednesday that it earned $642 million, or 25 cents per share, in the January-March quarter, up from $219 million, or 9 cents per share, in the same period a year ago. Adjusted earnings, which exclude stock compensation expenses and other costs, were $885 million, or 34 cents per share, in the latest quarter. Facebook’s revenue was $2.5 billion, up 71 percent from $1.46 billion in the same period a year ago. Â
Clemency sought for some prisoners WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is encouraging many nonviolent federal prisoners to apply for early release — and expecting thousands to take up the offer. It’s an effort to deal with high costs and overcrowding in prisons, and also a matter of fairness, the government says. On Wednesday, the Justice Department unveiled a revamped clemency process directed primarily at lowlevel felons imprisoned for at least 10 years who have clean records
while in custody. The effort is part of a broader administration push to scale back harsh penalties in some drug-related prosecutions and to address sentencing disparities arising from the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic that yielded disproportionately tough punishment for black drug offenders. “These older, stringent punishments that are out of line with sentences imposed under today’s laws erode people’s confidence in our criminal justice system,â€? said Deputy Attorney General James Cole in laying out new criteria that will be used in evaluating clemency petitions for possible recommendation for the president’s approval.

Employers starting wellness programs That little voice nagging you to put down the cake and lace up the running shoes is increasingly coming from your employer and is likely to grow louder with a looming change under the federal health care overhaul. More companies are starting or expanding wellness programs that aim to reduce their medical costs by improving their employees’ health. They’re asking workers to take physical exams, complete detailed health assessments and focus on controlling conditions such as diabetes. Along with that, many companies also are dangling the threat of higher monthly insurance premiums to prod

workers into action. The Affordable Care Act is one reason the programs are spreading. The federal law calls for a 40 percent tax on expensive benefit plans starting in 2018, and many companies that offer employer-based coverage already have begun looking for ways to lower costs and avoid that tax. “It is a very powerful ... visible wake-up call to all employers,â€? said Helen Darling, chief executive of the National Business Group on Health, a nonprofit organization that represents large employers on health care issues.

WikiLeaks soldier granted new name LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — An Army private convicted of providing classified documents to WikiLeaks won an initial victory Wednesday toward living as a woman when a Kansas judge granted a petition to change her name to Chelsea Elizabeth Manning. The decision clears the way for official changes to Manning’s military records, but does not compel the military to treat the soldier previously known as Bradley Edward Manning as a woman. That includes not being moved from the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, where Manning is serving a 35-year prison sentence, to a prison with a women’s unit, or receiving the counseling and hormone treatment she seeks.

Silver Airways to stay for now GREENVILLE — The U.S. Department of Transportation has ordered Silver Airways to remain in Meridian, Hattiesburg and Tupelo until a replacement airline is found. Transportation officials made a similar announcement last week for Greenville. It announced the order for the other three airports on Tuesday. Silver Airways began service to those airports in October 2012, following Delta Air Lines’ decision to end flights. Silver Airways on April 9 announced it had informed the Department of Transportation that it would be discontinuing service to the four Mississippi airports as well as in Muscle Shoals, Ala. The airline is receiving a $7 million annual subsidy through the federal Essential Air Service program to serve the five cities. Â

Griffin was given 25 years, with 10 suspended and five years of post-release supervision on each count to run concurrently. Prosecutors say affidavits filed in the case show that Griffin alleg-

Bryant signs mid-point abortion ban BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant on Wednesday signed a bill to ban abortion starting at the midpoint of a fullterm pregnancy. Supporters say it’s designed to protect women’s health, while abortion-rights advocates say it’s unconstitutional. House Bill 1400, which becomes law July 1, will ban abortion starting at 20 weeks’ gestational age. That’s defined as 20 weeks since the start of the woman’s last menstrual period. A full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks. There are exceptions: Abortion would still be allowed at or after 20 weeks if the woman faces death or permanent injury because of the pregnancy. It would also be allowed in cases of severe fetal abnormality. However, the new law does not provide exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. Republican Bryant, who became governor in 2012, has said often that he wants to end abortion in Mississippi. On
April 2, the final day of the three-month legislative session, he said his grown daughter was at about the midpoint of a pregnancy. “We’ve seen that baby and it’s healthy. It’s a boy,” Bryant said then. “And the idea of destroying that human is just reprehensible to me.” Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, criticized the bill. “With the women and families of their state facing extreme poverty, unacceptable rates of maternal mortality, and skyrocketing teen pregnancy, Mississippi’s elected officials have more than enough real work to do to bolster women’s well-being in their state,” Northup said in a news release Wednesday. “It’s time for these politicians to stop passing laws that attack constitutionally protected women’s health care and finally focus on policies that would support the health, lives and rights of Mississippi women and families.” Charmaine Yoest,
president and CEO of Washington-based Americans United for Life, said the Mississippi legislation was based largely on suggestions from her group. “We know that with each passing week of pregnancy, the health risks of abortion increase,” Yoest said in a news release Wednesday. “I commend the leadership in Mississippi who worked together to achieve commonsense limits on dangerous abortion procedures.” Diane Derzis, who owns Mississippi’s only abortion clinic, Jackson Women’s Health Organization, said the clinic stops doing abortions after 16 weeks’ gestation. She said each woman undergoes a sonogram to determine fetal age. Although the clinic would not be affected by the new law, Derzis has said she expects someone will file a legal challenge. The most recent Health Department statistics show 2,176 abortions were done in Mississippi in 2012. Two were listed at 21 weeks or later, and 382 were

of unknown gestational age. Supporters of the bill said they were troubled by the number of unknowns. Several states have a 20-week ban, including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Felicia Brown-Williams, director of public policy for Planned Parenthood Southeast, said the Mississippi law is similar to an Arizona law blocked by a federal appeals court. Judges found the Arizona law violated the constitutionally protected right to abortion before a fetus is able to survive outside the womb. Viability is generally considered to start at 24 weeks. The U.S. Supreme Court in January declined to reconsider the ruling about the Arizona law by the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Supporters of the Mississippi law point out that Mississippi is in a conservative federal appeals court district, the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit, so a legal challenge might have a different outcome.
Prosecutor: ID theft cost US about $10 million Associated Press
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — As the kidnappers pulled into a quiet, upscale golf course community, they thought they were about to abduct an assistant district attorney who sent a high-ranking gang member to prison for life, authorities said. But they had the wrong address and when the prosecutor’s father answered the door, they took him instead. For five days, authorities said the kidnappers held 63-year-old Frank Janssen captive in an Atlanta apartment, tormenting his family by sending text messages threatening to cut him into pieces if police were called or their demands weren’t met. They even sent a photo of him tied up in a chair. On Tuesday, an indictment charged nine people in Janssen’s abduction, including 49-year-old Bloods member Kelvin Melton, who authorities said was calling the shots by cellphone from his North Carolina prison cell. Janssen’s daughter, Wake Forest assistant district attorney Colleen Janssen, prosecuted Melton in 2012 for his role in the shooting of his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. Court records show
Melton has a long record of felony convictions in New York, the first being a 1979 robbery committed when he was 14. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and robbery in 1998 and served more than 13 years in New York prisons before being released in August 2011. His conviction in North Carolina sent him to prison for life. Authorities said he wanted revenge. At first, Melton wanted the kidnappers to travel to Louisiana to abduct a family member of his courtappointed attorney from his 2012 trial. He arranged in March for each member of that kidnapping team to receive about $10,000, according to the indictment, but at some point, for reasons not explained in court documents, they called it off. In late March or early April, Melton called again. This time he wanted a team assembled to “kidnap the ADA,” who was identified in the indictment as a “Wake County Assistant District Attorney.” One of the team members used the Internet to look up Colleen Janssen’s address but actually found her father’s home in Wake Forest, about 15 miles north of Raleigh.
PITTSBURGH — A federal prosecutor in Pennsylvania said Wednesday that a massive identity theft and fake tax return scheme cost the U.S. Treasury an estimated $10 million. U.S. Attorney David Hickton announced the indictments of five men at a news conference in Pittsburgh. According to the indictment, the men allegedly sought $21 million in fraudulent tax refunds, and the IRS paid out about half of that between 2005 and early 2014. “We have dismantled a massive stolen identity ring that involved thousands of victims and tens of millions of dollars in losses,” Hickton said. The defendants also allegedly obtained false driver’s licenses and Social Security cards, which were then used to open bank accounts in Washington, D.C., Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other states. Then the five defendants allegedly submitted 2,400 fraudulent federal tax returns using the names from the stolen ID’s. The 13-count indictment named Doherty Kushimo, 52, of Providence, R.I.; Saburi Adeyemi, 56, of Memphis, Tenn.; Abiodun Bakre, 49, of Ozone Park, N.Y.; Adetunji Gbadegeshi, 57, of Queens, N.Y.; and Adebola Mejule, 54, of Hempstead, N.Y. The defendants allegedly spent some of the illegally obtained funds and sent some money to Nigeria. They have all been arrested, and four have been arraigned on charges including conspiracy to commit fraud and aggravated identity theft, while Mejule is in custody of U.S. Marshals. Messages left for lawyers of two of the men weren’t immediately returned, but Adeyemi’s attorney said he’s puzzled because prosecutors haven’t shown him any of the evidence against his client. Attorney Roger Cox of Butler said Adeyemi works in a warehouse and only had $7 in a bank account.

First lady announces one-stop job site for vets Associated Press
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — To help veterans leaving the military as it downsizes, the government on Wednesday started a one-stop jobshopping website for them to create resumes, connect with employers and become part of a database for companies to mine. First lady Michelle Obama announced the new Veterans Employment Center at Fort Campbell during a special veterans’ jobs summit, which comes as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down. Unemployment among veterans who have served since September 2001 stood at 9 percent in 2013, about 1.6 percentage points higher than the overall civilian population. The website, ebenefits. va.gov, will help veterans and military spouses
“It is our obligation to you. Your job is to take full advantage of these opportunities.” First lady Michelle Obama build resumes, translate military skills into private-sector skills and provide career and training data with the click of a mouse. “It is our obligation to you,” Obama told hundreds of soldiers in a hangar on the sprawling military post on the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. “Your job is to take full advantage of these opportunities.” The Army plans to reduce its fighting force from a high of about 570,000 at the peak of the Iraq war to 490,000 — a reflection of budget cuts and of the country’s current military needs as
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan end. Col. David “Buck” Dellinger, the garrison commander of Fort Campbell, said about 5,000 of the 30,157 soldiers stationed at the post were in the midst of transitioning out of the Army and another 5,000 were within a year of being discharged. “It’s not going to be a career for everybody,” Dellinger said. The Obama administration’s most highprofile online tool, the HealthCare.gov site designed to enroll Americans in health plans, had a disastrous rollout last fall. But administration
officials said Tuesday that they have tested the veterans site to ensure it can handle the expected traffic and the various tasks. Maj. Sue Whetsell, a 24year Army veteran from Omaha, Neb., is hoping to become one of the soldiers to take advantage of the new website. Whetsell wants to leverage her experience as a budget officer into a similar job in the private sector. But, after a long Army career, Whetsell acknowledges she needs help in preparing for civilian life. “It’s just figuring out what is step one, step two and step three,” Whetsell said. “That’s the biggest challenge right now.” The announcement is part of a monthlong series of events marking the third anniversary of Joining Forces, the nationwide initiative that Mrs. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden’s wife, Jill Biden,
created in 2011 to improve employment, education and health care for activeduty service members, military families and veterans. Mrs. Obama announced to the 1,200 soldiers assembled that Joining Forces had resulted in 540,000 jobs for veterans and their spouses — far exceeding the goal of 100,000 jobs initially sought in the first two years. Biden, who appeared at Fort Campbell with Mrs. Obama, announced that the military spouses’ employment program has enlisted 228 employers, up from the 60 companies that had made a commitment when the program launched in June 2011. Shipping giant UPS is among the corporations that have pledged to hire more veterans, recruiting 13,000 veterans in the past 12 months, said Lytana Kids, UPS vice president for workforce
planning. That’s about 8 percent of the parcel delivery company’s overall hires, compared with 5 percent before. An integrated website would make that task even easier, she said. Worth Sparkman, a spokesman for Tyson Foods, said the website and job fairs help the company generate “quite a bit” of interest among veterans. Tyson has committed to hiring 2,500 veterans by the end of 2014 and has already brought more than 3,000 on board. “A lot of them are not aware they have transferrable skills,” Sparkman said. “Their work in logistics, planning and leadership are all good qualities to have in our business.” The summit was organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the Pentagon and the departments of Veterans Affairs and Labor.
Airport security vulnerabilities Stocks fall after six-day rise aren’t uncommon, officials say “The market, even with Associated Press
Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. — For all the tens of billions of dollars the nation has spent on screening passengers and their bags, few airports made a comparable investment to secure the airplanes. As the case of the San Jose stowaway shows, it did not take a sophisticated plan for a 15-year-old boy to spend about seven hours in what is supposed to be a secure area of Silicon Valley’s main airport — much of it in a wheel well of the jet that took the teen to Hawaii. “No system is foolproof,” San Jose International Airport aviation director Kim Aguirre said Wednesday. “Certainly as we learn more, if we see any gaping holes, we will work to fill them.” Aguirre said a perimeter search found no holes in the barbed wire fence surrounding their 1,050 acre facility, and officials were waiting to finish their investigation before implementing any additional security measures. Jennifer Dericco, a spokeswoman for the Santa Clara Unified School District, confirmed that Santa Clara High School
Principal Gregory Shelby sent a note Tuesday to staff members saying the teen had been in the U.S. for about four years, speaks English as his second language and had transferred into the district just five weeks ago. Dericco said confidentiality rules kept her from confirming the teen was a student at the school. The boy’s father drives a taxi, Aguirre said, but she didn’t know if he works at the airport. Aviation security experts say the San Jose airport is hardly alone when it comes to weaknesses in securing its airfield. While some larger airports have invested heavily in technology that can detect intruders, others have systems that sound too many false alarms — or don’t provide enough useful information in the first place. “I don’t think San Jose is different than 80 percent of the airports around the country” in how secure its perimeter is, said Rafi Ron, former head of security at the closely guarded airport in Tel Aviv, Israel. Like other major airports, San Jose has dozens of security cameras
that survey its restricted areas. Indeed, the FBI says cameras actually recorded the boy on the tarmac, but no one noticed until hours later — after he had survived the 51⁄2hour flight and clambered onto the tarmac on the island of Maui. “What happened in San Jose can happen as we speak at other airports, because nobody can watch all these monitors” that feed video from around the airport, said Ron, now CEO of the consulting firm New Age Security Solutions. San Jose does not, evidently, have more sophisticated technology that can detect someone climbing a perimeter fence, track a trespasser with radar, or automatically alert authorities at a central post when a video camera picks up potentially suspicious activity. Such intrusion detection systems are the best security available, though they are not foolproof. In 2012, a man whose personal watercraft ran out of fuel swam to the edge of New York’s Kennedy Airport, scaled a fence and walked about 2 miles along the airfield before being spotted.
Man among 1st in US to get ‘bionic eye’ Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A degenerative eye disease slowly robbed Roger Pontz of his vision. Diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa as a teenager, Pontz has been almost completely blind for years. Now, thanks to a high-tech procedure that involved the surgical implantation of a “bionic eye,” he has regained enough of his eyesight to catch small glimpses of his wife, grandson and cat. “It’s awesome. It’s exciting — seeing something new every day,” Pontz said during a recent appointment at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. The 55-year-old former competitive weightlifter and factory worker is one of four people in the U.S. to receive an artificial retina since the Food and Drug Administration signed off on its use last year. The facility in Ann Arbor has been the site of all four such surgeries since FDA approval. A fifth is scheduled for next month. Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited disease that causes slow but progressive vision loss due to a gradual loss of the lightsensitive retinal cells called rods and cones. Patients experience loss of
side vision and night vision, then central vision, which can result in near blindness. Not all of the 100,000 or so people in the U.S. with retinitis pigmentosa can benefit from the bionic eye. An estimated 10,000 have vision low enough, said Dr. Brian Mech, an executive with Second Sight Medical Products Inc., the Sylmar, Calif.-based company that makes the device. Of those, about 7,500 are eligible for the surgery. The artificial implant in Pontz’s left eye is part of a system developed by Second Sight that includes a small video camera and transmitter housed in a pair of glasses. Images from the camera are converted into a series of electrical pulses that are transmitted wirelessly to an array of electrodes on the surface of the retina. The pulses stimulate the retina’s remaining healthy cells, causing them to relay the signal to the optic nerve. The visual information then moves to the brain, where it is translated into patterns of light that can be recognized and interpreted, allowing the patient to regain some visual function. When wearing the glasses, which Pontz refers to as his “eyes,” he
can identify and grab his cat and figure out that a flash of light is his grandson hightailing it to the kitchen. The visual improvement is sometimes startling for Pontz and his wife, Terri, who is just as amazed at her husband’s progress as he is. “I said something I never thought I’d say: ‘Stop staring at me while I’m eating,’” Terri Pontz said. She drives her husband the nearly 200 miles from tiny Reed City, Mich., to Ann Arbor for check-ups and visits with occupational therapist Ashley Howson, who helps Roger Pontz reawaken his visual memory and learn techniques needed to make the most of his new vision. At the recent visit, Howson handed Pontz white and black plates, instructed him to move them back and forth in front of light and dark backgrounds and asked that he determine their color. Back home, Terri Pontz helps her husband practice the techniques he learns in Ann Arbor. For them, the long hours on the road and the homework assignments are a blessing. “What’s it worth to see again? It’s worth everything,” Terri Pontz said.
NEW YORK — Stocks edged mostly lower Wednesday, breaking a six-day winning streak, as investors were disappointed by the latest round of earnings from U.S. companies. A surprise drop in new home sales also weighed on the broader market. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 4.16 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,875.39. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 12.72 points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,501.65 and the Nasdaq composite fell 34.49 points, or 0.8 percent, to 4,126.97. Since hitting a twomonth low on April 11, the index had increased 3.5 percent through Tuesday. It is not unusual for the stock market to pause after such a rally. “The market, even with those six days of gains, is still struggling to choose a direction,” said Joseph Tanious, a global market strategist with J.P. Morgan Funds. High-flying biotechnology and Internet stocks were among the hardest hit. Surgical robot maker Intuitive Surgical fell the most in the S&P 500, plunging $48.40, or 12 percent, to $373.93. The company reported a 77 percent drop in firstquarter earnings and sold half has many robots as it did in the same period a year earlier. The company warned two weeks ago that earnings would come in far below expectations, causing its stock to fall sharply from a recent high of $540.63 reached April 3. Amgen fell 5 percent after it also reported a steep drop in quarterly earnings, missing analysts’ expectations. One bright spot in biotechnology was Gilead Sciences. The drugmaker rose $1, or 1.4 percent, to $73.86 after the company reported a surge in first-quarter earnings.
those six days of gains, is still struggling to choose a direction.” Joseph Tanious
Global market strategist with J.P. Morgan Funds Gilead’s drug Sovaldi, a new treatment for Hepatitis C, had $2.3 billion in sales in the first quarter alone, which beat the record for any drug in its first whole year on the market. While Sovaldi has a 90 percent success rate in curing Hepatitis C, the drug has a price of $1,000 per pill, or around $84,000 for a typical course of treatment. AT&T, despite posting quarterly results that beat analysts’ expectations, wasn’t able to impress investors this quarter. The Dow member’s shares fell $1.37, or 4 percent, to $34.92. The company reported earnings of 71 cents a share, one cent ahead of analysts’ expectations, and quarterly sales of $32.48 billion, which also beat expectations. Other telecom stocks also fell. Verizon fell 49 cents, or 1 percent, to $47.43 while T-Mobile US lost $1.28, or 3.8 percent, to $29.81. Airline stocks were among the biggest advancers. Delta Air Lines rose $2.14, or 6 percent, to $37.09. Delta’s firstquarter earnings climbed after the company filled more seats on planes and paid less for fuel. Delta was the biggest gainer in the S&P 500. Plane maker Boeing rose $3.08, or 2.4 percent, to $130.63. Its quarterly earnings beat expectations as its commercial jet production increased. U.S. company earnings have been generally coming in better than what investors had expected. But expectations
are low this quarter, investors said, because the harsh winter earlier this year slowed business activity across the country. Earnings in the S&P 500 are expected to be down 1.5 percent from a year ago, according to FactSet. “When you set the bar so low, U.S. companies are able to walk right over them,” Tanious said. In other company news: ■ Apple jumped $43.91, or 8 percent, to $568.43 in after-hours trading. The technology giant reported a profit of $10.2 billion, or $11.62 a share, beating analysts’ forecast of a profit of $10.19 a share. The company also announced it would increase its share buyback program from $60 billion to $90 billion, raised its quarterly dividend to $3.29 a share, and also announced a seven-for-one stock split. ■ Facebook reported a profit of 34 cents a share, well ahead of the 24 cents per share analysts had expected. Facebook shares rose $1.74, or 3 percent, to $63.10 in aftermarket trading. ■ Netflix sank $19.40, or 5 percent, to $353.50. Time Warner and Amazon.com announced that HBO’s award-winning shows such as “The Sopranos” and “Six Feet Under” would be available exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers, a big loss for Netflix. HBO had been one of the biggest holdouts in bringing its content to streaming video services. Time Warner rose $1.08, or 2 percent, to $66.

Blowing bubbles? “When Facebook takes its own inflated stock and buys other companies with it, the infusion pumps up the price of that company past a ‘reasonable’ level and infects other companies,” Kay writes. There are other signs the market may be overheating, such as the stampede of startups trying to go public. Last year, 222 IPOs were priced in the U.S., the most since 2000. If a tech bubble exists today, it’s nowhere near as big as the one that began bursting in 2000. Tech stocks aren’t nearly as overvalued as they were at the height of the dot-com boom. By March 2000, investors were paying $68.72 for every $1 in earnings generated by companies in the S&P 500 information technology index. Last month, the ratio stood at $18.26 for every $1 in earnings.
High-flying tech stocks from Amazon to Netflix have had their wings clipped in recent weeks after reaching record highs. Twitter’s stock, for instance, is down 39 percent from its peak. The downturn raises questions about whether the decline is temporary or a sign of another tech bubble about to bust. Many investors are re-focusing on safer sectors, such as utilities and consumer staples. The tech stock slump came just as venture capital investments hit their highest level since 2001 in the first quarter. Adding to the froth are Facebook’s recent multi-billion dollar purchases of small, profitless startups, including its $19 billion acquisition of messaging service WhatsApp. The deals were mostly stock transactions, which troubles longtime tech analyst Roger Kay.

Better quarter? Financial analysts predict Southwest Airlines’ earnings and revenue increased in the first quarter from the same period a year earlier. The company, due to report its latest quarterly results today, benefited in the final three months of 2013 from lower fuel costs and higher average fares as the airline sold fewer seats at sale prices. Earlier this year, Southwest said that first-quarter bookings were strong.

Woman can’t ‘afford’ to leave boyfriend WIZARD OF ID

Dear Annie: My boyfriend, “Joe,” and I have been together for five years. My son (from a previous relationship) and I moved away from family and friends to live with him. Shortly after moving, I became pregnant with our daughter. At first, our relationship was perfect. Joe was sweet, kind and helpful. Now we get into a lot of disagreements that result in our not speaking for days. Worse, when Joe stops speaking to me, he also ignores my 7-yearold son, who looks up to Joe as a father figure. A year ago, I suggested counseling, but even though Joe agreed to go, he hasn’t found the time. Discussing it doesn’t help. Joe becomes defensive and closed off. Here’s the current problem: I finally decided to go back to school, which is a wonderful opportunity for me. Although I’d like to move out, I cannot support my children while attending school, and there won’t be any help from family or friends. It means I must rely on Joe for childcare and housing. Is this horribly selfish of me to keep living with Joe for that purpose? How can I explain this awkward arrangement to my two beautiful children? — Heartbroken in Wisconsin Dear Wisconsin:
Annie’s Mailbox People live with each other for a variety of reasons, including financial stability, and you don’t need to explain it to your young children. More importantly, is Joe willing to do this? Is there a chance the two of you will reconcile? Please don’t lie to Joe. He should know that you want to go back to school so you can help support the family. Ask him again to come with you for counseling to work on your relationship issues, but if he refuses, please go on your own. Your efforts to discuss things lead to defensiveness and entrenchment, and counseling will help you find better ways to communicate. It also will help you learn how to protect your son from Joe’s neglect, and that should be your primary concern. Dear Annie: My sister, “Beth,” is five years older than I am. While we get along well, we have never been close. She tends to be negative and judgmental. I check in with her monthly,
and whenever I go home to visit my parents, I make sure to visit her and her kids. In the 20 years I have lived in my current place, she has never once visited. I am now in my 50s and plan to marry a wonderful man this summer. I did not ask Beth to be in my wedding party, choosing close friends instead. Beth is now upset and refuses to speak to me. She might not attend the wedding. My parents are heartbroken, and I am at a loss to understand her reaction. Should I have considered my only sister before my friends? — Surprised Sister Dear Surprised: While you are not obligated to have your sister in the wedding, it is customary to include siblings -- especially since you have only one and there is no enmity that makes her participation unwelcome. For the sake of family harmony (and your mother), please phone Beth and say, “I’m so sorry I didn’t ask you to be in my wedding party. It didn’t occur to me that you would want the fuss. But I would be so honored to have you stand up for me, and I hope you will.” She might refuse, but the gesture itself may mitigate the hard feelings.

Must I drop everything I’m doing to jump and run every time the phone rings? -- FAMILY DRAMA IN TEXAS DEAR FAMILY DRAMA: Every time you come to the rescue, you further enable your relatives to do whatever it is that has gotten them in hot water. That you have managed to separate yourself to the extent you have, and achieve to the level you have reached, is admirable. But if you’re going to continue to accomplish your goals, you cannot allow your family to distract you from your studies. Set limits. Let them know when you can’t be disturbed and turn your phone off. They’ll survive and you’ll thrive. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Don’t be too concerned about temporary setbacks. They are masquerading as bigger problems than they really are. Time will pass, things will change, and you will be on top once again. CANCER (June 22-July 22). With so much available to you at the click of a mouse, it’s a difficult time to develop patience. And yet you’ll have a beautiful relationship with a certain person in your life if you just slow down a bit.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll get 75 percent of the story, but it’s still far too soon to draw any conclusions. As it is with any good mystery, the last quarter could (and likely will) change everything. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be careful to use or manage your resources to the extent that is reasonable. Being hyper-vigilant in this regard may cause you undue stress. Strike a balance that allows you to breathe easy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you’re in target practice without a target, is every shot a bull’seye, or is every shot a miserable miss? Because you’re in no mood for rhetoric, just get a target. For now, any goal will do. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your success comes from being all about relationships. You’ll make sure that anyone who deals with you is getting their needs met to the fullest extent of your ability and resources. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Take care of yourself, and you’ll find it easier to be “good.” Self-discipline won’t be hard to come by when your life is already filled with what you need, including the need for pleasure. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You deserve a stress-less day. If not today, at least set yourself up for future relaxation by avoiding commitment and obligation. Don’t agree to be at any certain place at any certain time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your true friends and supporters are the ones who aren’t deterred by plain talk. You’ll call it as you see it, and your team will respond quickly, needing nothing more from you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you could make it happen by sheer force of will, it would have happened already. There are other factors involved. Because you understand and flow with this reality, you will be extraordinarily lucky now.

Jeter Watch
Troy Tulowitzki
Jesse Chavez, Oakland Chavez was expected to pitch out of the bullpen this season, but injuries to Oakland starters forced manager Bob Melvin to insert the righthander into the rotation. He hasn’t disappointed at all. Last week, Chavez limited the Angels and Astros to eight hits, three walks and three runs, only two earned. He struck out 15 while earning a win. The A’s have won all four of his starts this season.
Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado The Rockies’ shortstop is one of the best players in the game when he’s healthy. Unfortunately, that’s been a pretty big if throughout his career. But he’s proven what a force he can be when on the field everyday. Last week, Tulowitzki batted .500 with a 1.439 OPS. He drove in six runs and scored eight times, aided by seven walks.
Lance Lynn, St. Louis The big righthander spends most of his time in the shadows of teammates Adam Wainwright, Michael Wacha and Shelby Miller, but Lynn has been solid this season, and raised his performance level to terrific last week. In a pair of starts at Milwaukee and Washington, Lynn limited batters to just eight hits and six walks over 12.2 innings. He struck out 16 while earning the win in both games, posting an ERA of 0.71.
Francisco Lindor, SS, Cleveland Considered by many to the best defensive player in the minor leagues, the Indians have pushed the 20-year-old quickly. He is currently at Double-A Akron.
If I had to win a championship with only players age 25 and younger, this would be my 25-man roster. For clarity, I considered ages as of Opening Day this season.
Catcher Sal Perez, Kansas City The Royals’ backstop entered this season with a .301 career average and mad defensive skills that have resulted in nailing 34 percent of would-be base stealers.
First Base Freddie Freeman, Atlanta He’ll turn 25 in September, but has already come into his own with a .413 batting average this season. Freeman was fifth in NL MVP voting last season and is well on his way to another high finish. He leads the majors in slugging and OPS.
Second Base Anthony Rendon, Washington Originally a third baseman, Rendon gives the squad some flexibility.
Third Base Manny Machado, Baltimore After suffering a serious knee injury late last season, Machado has yet to appear in a game this season. But he’s still the best.
Shortstop Andrelton Simmons, Atlanta He is quickly becoming the new standard for defensive runs saved. Narrowly beats out Bogaerts for the starting spot.
Left Field Bryce Harper, Washington This isn’t as much of a no-brainer as you might think. Whether it’s injuries or the league making adjustments, Harper has been rather ordinary for the past 11 months.
With Hall of Famers Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken anchoring the lineup in every game, the Baltimore Orioles manage to lose 21 consecutive games to start the season. The O’s would win the following day at Chicago.
April 26, 1980 Lefty Steve Carlton of the Philadelphia Phillies pitches his sixth one-hitter, defeating his old team, the St. Louis Cardinals. Ted Simmons singles in the second inning and walks in the seventh for the only two baserunners allowed by Carlton, who never pitched a no-hitter. The first of his six one-hitters came in 1968 as a pitcher for the Cardinals.
Next month, Derek Jeter will visit five stadiums for the final time. His career has spanned 20 seasons now and the most recent captain of the Yankees will end his illustrious career as one of the greatest Yankees ever. Just a few of his notable achievements: • Made his debut on May 29, 1995, at the Seattle Kingdome against the Mariners. He batted ninth and went 0-for-5. Buck Showalter was his manager, Wade Boggs played next to him at third base, Randy Velarde was his double-play partner and Don Mattingly played first. He hit a soft fly ball to right in his first at-bat off of Rafael Carmona. • The first two hits of his career came the following day. After striking out looking in the second inning, he singled through the hole at short off of Tim Belcher. He followed with another single up the middle before a walk against Jeff Nelson ended his day. • His first postseason action came the following year as the Yankees defeated the Rangers and Orioles on their way to a World Series win over Atlanta. Jeter batted .361 in the postseason in 1996. • The future Hall of Famer has a .390 career OBP when leading off an inning. • He owns a .368 batting average against New York’s other team. His .283 average against the Mariners is his lowest mark vs. any American League team. His .338 average vs. Cleveland in his highest. • Only 18 active players have more career hits than the 1,669 hits Jeter has on the road.
Center Field Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels Clearly, Trout is the superstar on this team. If there were a media guide, Trout would grace the cover.
Right Field Giancarlo Stanton, Miami He’s made news this season by hitting bombs in South Florida. What’s lost in that hoopla is that he leads the majors with 26 ribbies.
Bench C Devin Mesoraco, Cincinnati The Reds committed to their rising star over the winter, handing him the everyday job behind the plate. He’s rewarded the club with a .515 batting average and 1.522 OPS through Sunday. 1B Eric Hosmer, Kansas City Still looking for his first home run this season, he’s averaged 17 with 72 RBIs over the past three years. 2B Dee Gordon, Los Angeles Dodgers The speedster’s move from shortstop to second has improved his defense. 3B Nolan Arenado, Colorado He won a Gold Glove as a rookie last season and batted .267. His bat is steadily improving. SS Xander Bogaerts, Boston At the tender age of 21, he has handled the pressure cooker of Boston without batting an eye. OF Yasiel Puig, Los Angeles Dodgers In only 104 games last season, the Cuban native easily led the majors in excitement. The Dodgers are still trying to raise the positive-to-negative excitement ratio. OF Jason Heyward, Atlanta The Braves began to surge last season when he was inserted into the leadoff spot. Atlanta’s right fielder just edges out Wil Myers for the final roster spot.
Starting Pitchers Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco

April 28, 1988
Bullpen holding opponents to a .181 average. Pitchers and batters firing on all cylinders. Pitchers are carrying the hitters up to this point. Injuries? What injuries? Starters own a 1.54 ERA this season. All the Redbirds need is four runs — 10-0 when scoring four. Slugging .547 vs. lefties and only .387 against righthanders. Pitched four shutouts in last 10 games. Shut out the Cubs twice in one day. Nine of last 10 games have been one-run affairs, winning five. Pitching beginning to unravel for manager Joe Maddon. Triple Crown? Miguel Cabrera is 7th, 4th and 4th among Tigers. Boston Strong. Left side of the infield batting .160 with one homer and 10 RBIs. Batted .313 last week as they begin to right the ship. Have hit as many HRs (6) as AL co-leaders Pujols and Bautista. Unexpected power source in Neil Walker with six homers. Mark Buehrle has found a fountain of youth: 4-0, 0.64 ERA. Looking forward to Hisashi Iwakuma’s return in May. Have the majors’ leader in runs (Dozier) and RBIs (Colabello). Chris Sale and pray for a monsoon. Starters have just three of their eight wins. Four players in majors own a 1.000+ OPS; two are Rockies. Ike Davis Era officially ended. Split 1-0 decisions with Atlanta last week. Third-best ERA in NL, but can’t get above .500. Third baseman Manny Machado’s return can’t come soon enough. Giancarlo Stanton, Jose Fernandez two of game’s best attractions. Dismal 1-10 record at Chase Field. 3-2 vs. lefty starters, 2-10 when facing righties. Swept by Royals and A’s last week, now face Mariners and A’s.
Best 25-and-Under Team
Albert Pujols, Los Angeles He’s baaaack! Well, we’ll see after another month, but all appearances are that Mr. Pujols has found his old magic. He certainly made believers of the Tigers’ and Athletics’ pitchers last week. The Angels’ first baseman raised his season average 40 points from .240 to .280 with three multi-hit games and a .360 average and a 1.189 OPS for the week. He hit three bombs and drove home seven runs.

Mike Trout (left), and Freddie Freeman should both garner MVP votes this season.
The Giants’ ace has 51 wins, but won’t turn 25 until this August. He is the dean of this rotation. Jose Fernandez, Miami In 2013-14, Miami is 20-12 when Fernandez starts, 51-98 when he doesn’t. Chris Sale, Chicago White Sox After going 28-22 with a 3.06 ERA and 1.103 WHIP over the past two seasons, the ace of the White Sox is off to an even better start in 2014. Stephen Strasburg, Washington The No. 1 overall pick in 2009 has struggled out of the gate this season, but he brought a 1.073 career WHIP into 2014 after 75 starts. Michael Wacha, St. Louis The youngster captivated fans on his way to the NLCS MVP award last October. After four starts in 2014, his ERA is a run less than last season.
Philadelphia his last time out. Trevor Rosenthal, St. Louis (Setup) In his first season as full-time closer, Rosie has five saves and an extra-inning loss to start 2014. Kevin Siegrist, St. Louis (Setup) There may be better choices as short setup men — like Cody Allen of the Indians or Carlos Martinez of St. Louis — but in 55 career games covering 47 innings, Siegrist has 59 strikeouts and 42 hits and walks combined. He’s given up just four extra-base hits. That, and this bullpen needs at least one lefty. Craig Kimbrel, Atlanta (Closer) The Braves’ fireballer turns 26 this May, so this will be his final appearance on this team. He inherits the mantle of best closer in the game from Mariano Rivera.

Career home runs for the Angels’ Albert Pujols. With two more, Pujols will become the 26th member of the 500 Home Run Club.
Recently, Evan Longoria hit home run No. 164 to become the all-time home run leader for Tampa Bay, passing Carlos Pena. Can you name the only other current player who is a franchise’s career home run leader?
Runs scored by Brian Dozier of the Minnesota Twins, the highest total in the majors. The Twins’ shortstop is batting just .219 with 16 hits. At-bats with the bases loaded this season for the Twins, the highest total in the majors. Minnesota batters are hitting .269 in those situations, plus a majors’ best four bases-loaded walks. Pitches per plate appearance for Atlanta starter Aaron Harang, who evidently doesn’t mind going deep into counts. Pitches per plate appearance for Henderson Alvarez of the Marlins, making him the most efficient pitcher in the bigs. Difference in Oakland’s batting average with runners in scoring position (.244) and that of their opponents (.161), the largest gap in majors. Difference in Arizona batting average with runners in scoring position (.201) and that of their opponents (.290), the largest deficit in majors.
TRIVIA ANSWER: It’s a bit tricky, but Dan Uggla, who now plays for the Braves, is the Marlins’ all-time home run leader with 154. Giancarlo Stanton is currently in sixth place, 31 behind Uggla.
• Much was made of the Dodgers’ fourheaded outfield over the winter and manager Don Mattingly repeatedly fielded questions about how he would make playing time work for former NL MVP Matt Kemp and All-Stars Carl Crawford, Andre Ethier and Yasiel Puig. Maybe a bit too much was made of the situation. As of Sunday, the quartet was hitting .226 and slugging just .387. Their teammates are picking up some slack. Combined, the rest of the Dodgers are batting .247 and slugging .409. The foursome’s seven homers are just one more than the six players atop the NL with six each. • Coming out of spring training, the Atlanta Braves were seemingly in panic mode. In fact, they hit the panic button during spring training by signing starting pitcher Ervin Santana. Why all the concern? Atlanta had lost two starting pitchers — Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy — to season-ending elbow surgery. Another starter, Mike Minor, was nursing shoulder soreness, In an effort to salvage what could be from this season, the Braves added veteran Aaron Harang, who was released by Cleveland, late in training camp. The season appeared bleak. Then a crazy thing happened; the regular season began, and Atlanta’s starting pitching has been the best in baseball. Harang evidently thinks he’s the 1974 version of Buzz Capra. Youngster Julio Teheran is pitching like John Smoltz, and Santana, well, he’s been as sharp as Phil Niekro was in his prime. Through the first 18 games, the Braves’ starters have allowed more than two earned runs just once. David Hale gave up four runs, three earned, to the Mets on April 10.

Scorekeeper at Wrigley practices dying art of unique job BY DON BABWIN Associated Press
CHICAGO — Inside a dusty, dimly lit chamber of steel catwalks, Darryl Wilson peers out a square hole and into one of baseball’s most revered shrines. For 23 years, Wilson has been a scoreboard operator at Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. Running the tall, green manual scoreboard is one of the most unique jobs in baseball — or anywhere — and it’s a symphony of the senses. Each run and every in-
ning, there is a flurry of activity and cacophony of noise inside as scoreboard operators yank metal plates with numbers on them out of the scoreboard and slam others into place. The room suddenly fills with what sounds like a thousand angry bees. This is the result of a finger pressing a button in the far-off press box behind home plate that sends an electrical charge into a panel of half ball-shaped “targets,” causing specific ones to flip so that they add up to form the num-
ber of the batter, and the number of balls, strikes and outs. About the only thing that’s changed — besides the green paint to cover what was a white scoreboard when it was erected in 1937 — is that the scores coming in from, say, Baltimore or St. Louis no longer arrive via a tickertape machine that once spat out reams of paper. They now pop up on the screen of a laptop computer that’s a bit out of place atop a dusty counter near Wilson’s duct-taped seat.
“I feel unique,” said Wilson, who works the upper reaches of the scoreboard, tracking games around the majors and changing scores and pitchers’ uniform numbers when managers in those games bring in relievers. “When they made it a (historic) landmark, I’m like, I guess I’m a landmark, too.” With Boston’s Fenway Park and Wrigley the only stadiums in the majors with manual scoreboards, Wilson’s job is all but extinct. It’s a job largely shrouded in mystery, but
the Cubs allowed The Associated Press a rare visit to mark the 100th anniversary of Wrigley’s first game. From his small window, Wilson has watched some of baseball’s greatest sluggers step into the batter’s box, which explains why things occasionally back up. He saw Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa’s home run duel, for example. “No scores would go up when those guys come up to bat because you knew there was going to be some monster home runs com-
ing,” he said, smiling. He also had a clear view of perhaps Wrigley’s most infamous moment when a fan deflected a foul ball that seemed destined for left fielder Moises Alou’s glove in the 2003 playoffs. Wilson won’t say if he thought Alou would have caught the ball or whether Steve Bartman changed the course of history. But he does speak of the collective shudder that went through the stands as everyone seemed to understand that the Cubs’ World Series drought continue.

Grizzlies want to keep home edge Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Grizzlies are happy to be back in Memphis, where they finished the regular season by winning a franchise-record 14 straight games. They brought home-court advantage with them. To guard Mike Conley, that ratchets up the pressure even more. It’s time for the Grizzlies to protect the place they call the Grindhouse. “It’s going to be tough against a team that’s played so well, especially on the road,” Conley said Wednesday of the Thunder. “But we’re happy with our position, I can tell you that much.”
The Grizzlies evened this first-round Western Conference series by winning 111-105 in overtime at Oklahoma City on Monday. Being the visitor tonight in a hostile arena for Game 3 isn’t a concern for the Thunder, who went 25-16 away from Oklahoma City for the NBA’s second-best road record in the regular season. “Everybody’s going to be there. They’re going to have T-shirts. They’re going to be swinging towels,” Kevin Durant said. “It’s the playoffs. It’s going to be hostile, but we’ve been there before.” Yes, the Thunder certainly have. But they have exactly one win in five previous post-
season games in Memphis, and they needed three overtimes to pull that out in the 2011 conference semifinals. Memphis took both matchups in last year’s semifinals en route to winning the series in five. Memphis went 5-2 at home in the 2013 playoffs, when San Antonio, in the conference finals, was the only visitor to win. Tony Allen, who has made Durant work so much harder for his points in this series, said the Grizzlies can’t become complacent knowing they’ll have a loud crowd at the FedExForum. “We got to understand it’s
one game at a time,” Allen said. “It’s the playoffs. Each game counts. Each possession counts. We can’t get caught up in that.” Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger also has cautioned his team not to simply assume being home will make everything work. That 14-game winning streak that helped them reach the playoffs as the seventh seed also is meaningless. Joerger said it’s time to start over now, and the team that sets the tone for its style quickest has won each of the first two games. Oklahoma City ran all over Please see HOME | 13

CB Trufant signs, expected to retire Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks have signed former cornerback Marcus Trufant, who is expected to announce his retirement from football. Seattle announced the signing Wednesday and said Trufant was expected to announce his intentions during a news conference Thursday. Trufant spent nearly his entire NFL career with his hometown team. The native of Tacoma, Wash., and former star at Washington State was a firstround pick by the Seahawks in 2003. He went on to spend 10 seasons in Seattle, starting 125 of his 136 career games. He was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2007, but was slowed by injuries later in his career and went unsigned by Seattle after the 2012 season. Trufant signed with Jacksonville before the 2013 season but was cut at the end of training camp.
Boxer sentenced on assault charge Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Boxer Tramaine “Mighty Midget” Williams has been sentenced to 21⁄2 years in prison on an assault weapon charge. Williams, a nine-time amateur national champion, was arrested in January, two days before he was scheduled to fight as a super bantamweight in Madison Square Garden. He was 8-0 as a professional. Police say he was one of 11 arrested during a series of raids in New Haven. Police say Williams was found in a home with a Tec-9 automatic pistol and drugs. His attorney, Michael Dolan, told the New Haven Register he was disappointed with Wednesday’s sentence, because Williams had no prior record. Dolan told the judge that Williams never intended to use the gun and considered it a collector’s item.
Johnson to undergo 2nd elbow surgery Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — San Diego Padres starter Josh Johnson is scheduled to undergo elbow ligament-replacement surgery for the second time and will miss the entire season. The right-hander, signed in November to an $8 million, one-year contract, was placed on the disabled list before the season began. He strained his elbow during spring training and the Padres initially thought he would be out about one month. Johnson had surgery on his right elbow in the offseason to remove bone spurs. He was examined after the lastest setback by Dr. James Andrews, who performed Tommy John surgery on Johnson in 2007. The 30-year-old Johnson was a twotime All-Star with the Marlins. He was 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA last season with Toronto.

SEC’s pitchers having banner season BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press
Now more than ever, the key to success in the Southeastern Conference is pitching. The league has the lowest ERA in the country, and aces abound as postseason play approaches next month. LSU’s Aaron Nola (7-1, 0.88 ERA), Arkansas’ Jalen Beeks (5-3, 1.49) and Mississippi’s Chris Ellis (5-0, 1.72) are among those dominating al-
most every time they take the mound. That’s not necessarily surprising. The SEC has a long history of successful pitchers who go on to Major League Baseball prominence, including current stars like David Price, Lance Lynn, Cliff Lee, Tim Hudson and Mike Minor. But the difference this season is depth. The league had a 2.72 ERA at the halfway point this season, down from 3.14 at the same time a year ago.
“Some guys throw hard. Some guys can work the corners. But they’re all getting it done,” Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco said. Nola may be the league’s best. The 6-foot-1 junior right-hander has given up just seven earned runs over 71 2-3 innings and struck out 91 batters. Opponents are hitting .159 against him. He’s expected to be a firstround draft pick in June. “It’s pretty much all focus
for me,” Nola said. “Every time I’m on the mound I have to get my mind right. I start making mistakes when I lose concentration. When runners get in scoring position, I try to slow things down.” Nola is part of a pitching staff for LSU (31-10-1, 10-71 SEC) that has a 2.31 ERA, which ranks fourth in the SEC behind South Carolina (2.05), Ole Miss (2.25) and Arkansas Please see BANNER | 13
Gattis’ double helps Braves top Marlins Associated Press
ATLANTA — Pinch-hitter Evan Gattis broke an eighthinning tie with a two-run double off A.J. Ramos, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 3-1 Wednesday for their ninth win in 12 games. Aaron Harang allowed one run and six hits in six innings with 11 strikeouts and one
walk, raising his ERA from 0.70 to 0.85. Pulled from his previous start against the New York Mets after six hitless innings and 101 pitches, he stretched his streak of hitless innings to eight before Adeiny Hechavarria singled leading off the third. Braves pitchers struck out 16 in all, giving them 41 strike-
outs and five walks — one intentional — in the three-game series. Miami pitchers struck out 37 and walked nine. David Carpenter (1-0) relieved with two on and two outs in the eighth and retired Casey McGehee on a flyout. Making his first appearance since his first blown save of the season on Monday, Craig
Kimbrel retired Derek Dietrich on a flyout, then struck out Adeiny Hechavarria and Jarrod Saltalamacchia for his sixth save. Nathan Eovaldi gave up one run — unearned — and five hits in six innings. Miami lost two of three in Please see GATTIS | 13
Jones seeks solutions for UT’s depth problem Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee football coach Butch Jones doesn’t hesitate to point out his biggest concern heading into his second season. “Hands down, it’s depth,” Jones said Wednesday in a post-spring interview with
The Associated Press. “It’s depth still throughout the entire football program. We’re still dealing with the realities of building a program.” Jones has created plenty of momentum off the field thus far. He has signed a recruiting class ranked among the
nation’s top five by multiple services. Tennessee’s Orange & White Game this month had an announced attendance of 68,548, the second-highest total in its 54-year history. But he’s still trying to end Tennessee’s string of four straight losing seasons, the
first time that’s happened at Tennessee since 1903-06. Tennessee went 5-7 last year in Jones’ debut season. Tennessee’s quest for a bowl bid this fall could prove challenging because of its Please see JONES | 13

Memphis in winning the opener 100-86 in a game that was only that close because the Grizzlies had a big third quarter. The Grizzlies slowed the Thunder down from the opening tip Monday night in leading by as many as 10, even if they needed overtime after Durant’s amazing fourpoint play off his 3 falling out of bounds. “Our team is a team that can’t play too far from behind because we play a certain style of basketball, and it’s tough,” Grizzlies forward Mike Miller said. “Our starts are big for us. They do have some pressure. They have some expectations.” The Thunder practiced Wednesday in Oklahoma City before traveling to Memphis. Coach Scott Brooks wants the Thunder to keep Conley and backup guard Beno Udrih in front of them. Udrih had
14 points in 14 minutes, giving Conley plenty of rest in his first extended action since being claimed off waivers in February. Brooks also wants to make sure Memphis’ big men work for what they get. Zach Randolph scored 25 points Monday, hitting 10 of his 20 shots. Offensively, Oklahoma City wants to screen better to keep Allen away from Durant as much as possible. “If we don’t have good setups and good screens, it’s going to bog down and it’s going to be tough shots at the end of the shot clock,” Brooks said. Of course, that’s exactly what the Grizzlies want to slow down the Thunder. “We just keep slogging along and we feel always that if we get you in a possession game, we feel like that over the course of 48 minutes that we can grind you down,” Joerger said.

The shift to pitching’s dominance can be traced to four years ago when the NCAA mandated changes to the sport’s metal bats, which made them much less powerful. The highscoring slugfests that were once ubiquitous disappeared almost overnight, and coaches were forced to build rosters around pitching, speed and defense. “Every change in the game over the past four or five years has favored pitching and defense,” Mississippi State coach John Cohen said. “So you’ve got to adjust.” Hitters might finally get some help next season when the NCAA debuts a new baseball with lower seams that is similar to the one used in the pros. A raised-seam ball is now used in college games. But at least for the rest of 2014, pitching is undeniably king. Cohen’s Bulldogs have thrived in the low-scoring era. They advanced to the College World Series championship series last season before losing to
UCLA. Mississippi State (2715, 10-8 SEC) is right in the middle of the conference race again this year despite hitting just seven home runs over 42 games. Cohen said he believes another reason the SEC’s ERA continues to drop is because pitchers are throwing harder. “When I played at Mississippi State, during my senior season in 1990 I bet I saw 10 guys all year who legitimately threw 90 miles per hour,” Cohen said. “Today I probably have 10 guys just on my pitching staff who can touch 90. Every other team in the SEC is the same way.” Not everyone in the league has to throw hard to dominate. Mississippi State left-hander Ross Mitchell is 6-3 with a 2.13 ERA despite throwing in the mid-80s, thriving by mixing his pitches and living on the corners. Mitchell made the transition from the bullpen to the starting rotation midway through the season and has helped the Bulldogs recover after a slow start. “In a lot of ways it’s an advantage not throwing as hard,” Mitchell said. “It takes a while for hitters to adjust sometimes.”
the series, dropping to 1-8 on the road this year. Marlins reliever Carlos Marmol left in the seventh after straining his right hamstring on a walk to Jason Heyward. With the score 1-all in the eighth, Mike Dunn (1-3) walked Chris Johnson with one out after the batter fell behind 0-2 in the count. Dan Uggla reached on a twoout infield single, Ramos

relieved and Gattis, hitting for Jordan Schafer, doubled to left. Gattis’ two-run, 10thinning homer beat the Marlins 4-2 in the series opener. He is hitting ,351 with five homers and 10 RBIs in his last 10 games, a span of 37 at-bats. Ryan Doumit’s runscoring single put the Braves ahead in the fourth. Giancarlo Stanton tied the score in the sixth with a bloop RBI double to left-center.
PHOENIX — Of course, the NBA’s most improved team would have its most improved player. Goran Dragic, whose breakout season helped the Phoenix Suns make a remarkable transformation, was presented the most improved award at a ceremony Wednesday at US Airways Center. The 6-foot-3 Slovenian, who turns 28 in two weeks, flourished under first-year coach Jeff
Hornacek’s double-point guard system, teaming with Eric Bledsoe to form a dynamic backcourt. “We’re looking for players who can go out there every night and lay it all out there,” Hornacek said, “play through injuries, do everything the coaches ask, play with confidence. That’s what Goran did.” Dragic averaged 20.5 points and 5.9 assists per game, shooting 50.5 percent from the field, 40.8 percent on 3-pointers.
He was the only player in the NBA to shoot better than 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from 3-point range. “The main thing was my confidence this year,” he said. “I feel that my teammates, they trust me. The coaches trust me. I can play my game, be confident, be tough and then shoot the ball better.” Dragic recalled the doubters when he came into the league. “I can remember one
quote from a newspaper, somebody said that I’m the worst player in the NBA and my last name should not be Dragic but ‘tragic,’” he said. “That sticks in your head.” Dragic received 408 of a possible 1,134 points, including 65 first-place votes, from a panel of 126 sports writers and broadcasters in the United States and Canada. Indiana’s Lance Stephenson was second with 158 points.
toughness that’s involved. That in turn lends itself to bringing confidence.” Jones still has plenty of questions to answer before the Aug. 31 season opener with Utah State. The most obvious one is at quarterback. Senior Justin Worley, sophomores Joshua Dobbs and Nathan Peterman and redshirt freshman Riley Ferguson are competing for the starting spot. Jones hasn’t named a leader. “Each individual’s had their moments,” Jones said. “I thought Josh Dobbs had a very,
very good performance in our spring game. I thought Justin Worley was extremely consistent throughout the whole process. We saw glimpses of what Riley Ferguson could be, and I thought Nate Peterman showed some consistency throughout the entire course of spring.” Tennessee’s quarterbacks should have more help this year, thanks to a freshman class featuring plenty of star power. Josh Malone was the star of the spring game with six catches for 181 yards and three touchdowns. Jalen
Hurd had a team-high 66 yards rushing in the spring game. Both were rated as five-star prospects by at least one recruiting service. The Vols hope their defense will get a boost when the rest of their 2014 recruiting class arrives this summer. The list of summer arrivals includes 10 defensive players rated as four-star prospects by multiple recruiting services. “We all know we’re going to have to play some true freshmen on the defense front, the defensive
line position, the safety position and linebacker,” Jones said. “You’ll see true freshmen all over our defense.” Tennessee’s fan base seems to understand the situation. About 25,000 fans lined up before the spring game for an autograph session featuring Jones and his players. His office features Tennessee helmets autographed by ex-Vols Peyton Manning, Arian Foster, Al Wilson and Jason Witten plus one signed by former Tennessee coach Johnny Majors.

lack of depth. The Vols must replace all five starters on the offensive line, including four likely draft picks. Senior linebacker A.J. Johnson is the only returning starter from the front seven on defense. “But it’s also invigorating,” Jones said. “This is probably the most rewarding, the most enjoyable spring I’ve had in terms of just coaching on the field, that I’ve had in a very, very long time.” Jones says the team is showing a greater commit-
ment to success. He says more players have come into his office asking how they can become better leaders or inquiring what the coaches need from them. He believes that attitude can result in a more confident and productive team his fall. “It’s earning the right to win,” Jones said. “It’s not hoping to win but believing you’re going to win. You earn that right through your consistency in performance, your goal setting, your accountability and also the leadership and
