Battle of Iuka and Battle of Farmington commission organizers are promising twice the history and twice the fun at the 152nd anniversary of the two battles set for Sept. 19-21. “We’re firming up a lot of the details,” said Lee Ann Robertson, an event volunteer. “Our plan is to turn

The Physician’s Urgent Care Lighthouse Thanksgiving Classic was a feast like no other last year. When it comes to basketball. Organizers left hoop junkies craving for more following a 13-game helping of basketball at Corinth High School. On Nov. 28-29, fans will be getting a second plate of basketball to dine on, according to event organizer Vince Overholt. “Fans left with something to talk about,” said Overholt at the Corinth Rotary Club meeting Thursday. “We learned a lot last year to make the tournament even better this year.” Twenty-one teams will invade CHS in late November for 14 games. Seven games are on tap for Friday with another seven planned Saturday. “Last year, we had a lot of great players,” said Overholt. “This year, we are going to have a lot better players.” The Thanksgiving Classic, rated among the top five Thanksgiving holiday weekend events by MaxPreps, has commitments from such teams as Callaway, Velma Jackson, Provine, Madison Prep of Louisiana, Miller Grove of Georgia, Lexington, Tenn., Haywood County, Tenn., Memphis Southwind, Lausanne and Lee, Alabama. All four Alcorn County teams will also participate. Callaway’s Malik Newman, the nation’s second ranked high school player, will bring in a huge crowd, according to Overholt. “It’s a rarity to have someone of his caliber in Mississippi,” said Overholt. “He has a cult following and won’t disappoint.” An estimated 5,500 people attended over the two days in 2013.

Aldermen OK sale of fire truck The town of Glen is purchasing a fire truck from the city of Corinth. The Corinth Board of Aldermen approved the sale of the 1986 model ladder truck this week for $10,000. As part of the agreement, Fire Chief Billy “Lucky” Briggs said the truck will be available for the city’s use if needed. It was the oldest truck in the city’s fleet, which now includes a new Sutphen that arrived a few weeks ago. In other business before Corinth aldermen this week: ■ The board gave approval for the police department to apply for a Homeland Security grant for the purchase of an all-terrain vehicle. Police Chief David Lancaster said it is needed for security purposes at the regional jail facility. The $13,349.95 cost would be fully reimbursed. ■ Aldermen agreed to pay the city’s match of $8,991 on a $323,663 grant which is being awarded to the Corinth-Alcorn County airport by the FAA for the milling and overlay of the taxiway and other areas. ■ The fire department got approval to apply for a Homeland Security grant for the purchase of technical rescue equipment that would be needed in the event of an earthquake. ■ At the request of Alliance President Gary Chandler, the board agreed to increase its local match on the clearing of prospective industrial property and addition of an access road from $10,500 to $12,317. The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors will get the same request on Monday. It has been recommended that the scope of work increase from the clearing of 28 acres to 40 acres with access paths from rail to rail, increasing the project cost from $106,100 to $124,400.

Corinth’s chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans was honored earlier this summer by the State of Mississippi SCV division. The local chapter, named in honor of Colonel William P. Rogers, received the prestigious Jefferson Davis Award as the top SCV camp in the state for the fifth year in a row. The award was presented to local Commander Larry Mangus

Robertson. “Farmington Mayor Dale Fortenberry’s involvement helped Cleburne’s Division decide to support us.” Cleburne’s Division Artillery is an organization of hundreds of reenactors from all over the country who manage reenactments. “I’m told in the reenactment world, it pays to have Cleburne helping with an event,” added Robertson. “Their troops routinely participate in large scale battles like Shiloh and Gettysburg.” Along with two full scale battle reenactments, the weekend will also feature a military parade through downtown Iuka, a Grand Ball for reenactors and spectators, a quilt show, living history presentations and an expanded educational day. “We’re excited about Friday’s educational day
with the schools,” she said. “We made several improvements including moving the educational day site from the battlefield site to Mineral Springs Park to provide the school kids with more shade from the hot weather.” The day will see more than 1,000 students attend around a dozen different stations setup discussing the many different roles of people during the Civil War. “We are actually going to be firing a cannon instead of ringing the class room bell on Friday,” said Robertson. “That’s going to be pretty neat and we think the kids will have a ball.” Students from Tishomingo County schools will attend the special day. “We hope to have students from Alcorn and Prentiss schools come over as well,” she added. On Friday night,
downtown Iuka will come alive around the Tishomingo Old Courthouse Museum. The battle commission will host a meet and greet with the generals. “We’ll have period music by Lost Cause Band, BBQ and catfish, horse drawn carriage rides and a grand lumination in the park,” said Robertson. “It’s going to be like an old time street party.” On Saturday and Sunday, more than 20 settlers will be setup at the battle site, while hundreds of reenactors are excepted for the massive battles, according to Robertson. A special event is also planned for Sunday to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the Trail of Tears.

The state SCV division also commended the local chapter for their annual placing of over 300 Confederate flags on the graves of Confederate soldiers in a three county area during April, which is Confederate History month in the state of Mississippi. According to Mangus, the busy year included 49 presentations in local schools, civic clubs and Historical Society
meetings. The camp participated in the Battle of Iuka Memorial Roll Call Service to honor the Confederate soldiers buried in the mass grave in Shady Grove Cemetery. The camp also has active membership on preservation boards as the Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission, the Friends of the Siege, the Battle of Corinth and the Crossroads Museum. The SCV is an American lineage society, founded in 1896, for male descendants of Confederate veterans.

Today in history Today is Sunday, July 20, the 201st day of 2014. There are 164 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlights in History: On July 20, 1944, an attempt by a group of German officials to assassinate Adolf Hitler with a bomb failed as the explosion only wounded the Nazi leader. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for a fourth term of office at the Democratic convention in Chicago.
On this date: In 1861, the Congress of the Confederate States convened in Richmond, Va. In 1871, British Columbia entered Confederation as a Canadian province. In 1917, the World War I draft lottery went into operation. In 1923, Mexican revolutionary leader Pancho Villa was assassinated. In 1954, the Geneva Accords divided Vietnam into northern and southern entities. In 1968, the first International Special Olympics Summer Games, organized by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, were held at Soldier Field in Chicago. In 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon after reaching the surface in their Apollo 11 lunar module. In 1974, Turkish forces invaded Cyprus after a coup by supporters of union with Greece. In 1976, America’s Viking 1 robot spacecraft made a successful, firstever landing on Mars. In 1989, Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest by the military government of Myanmar. In 1999, after 38 years at the bottom of the Atlantic, astronaut Gus Grissom’s Liberty Bell 7 Mercury capsule was lifted to the surface. In 2012, a gunman opened fire inside a crowded movie theater in Aurora, Colo., during a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” killing 12 people. (Suspect James Eagen Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to more than 160 counts of murder and attempted murder.)
Ten years ago: Former national security adviser Sandy Berger quit as an informal adviser to Democrat John Kerry’s presidential campaign after disclosure of a criminal investigation into whether he’d mishandled classified terrorism documents. Iraqi militants freed a Filipino truck driver after the Philippines government gave in to their demands to withdraw troops from Iraq. The head of slain American hostage Paul M. Johnson Jr. was found in a raid in Saudi Arabia.
Five years ago: A roadside bomb killed four American troops in eastern Afghanistan. The astronauts aboard the shuttle-station complex celebrated the 40th anniversary of man’s first moon landing with their own spacewalk.

LINK gets Mississippi arts panel grant JACKSON — LINK, the Healthy Communities/Healthy Youth Initiative of Corinth-Alcorn County, Inc. (LINK) has been awarded a $4,333 grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC). This grant is a portion of the $1.34 million in grants the Commission will award in 2014-2015 and will be used to support LINK’s Arts Infusion Program in the schools. The grants are made possible by continued funding from the Mississippi State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. “The creative economy has
never been more vibrant than it is today in the communities across Mississippi,” stated Dr. Tom Pearson, Executive Director at MAC. “This agency is honored to play a small role in assisting these organizations to continue their work of reinforcing the value of the arts and the role they play in creative placemaking and economic development.” Founded in 2000, LINK is an all volunteer non-profit organization which provides arts experiences for grades 1 - 6 in Corinth and Alcorn County schools through its Arts Infusion Pro-
gram. LINK also provides volunteer tutors for Kindergarten students at Corinth Elementary and administers LINK Groups for Middle School students. The Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency, serves the residents of the state by providing grants that support programs to enhance communities; assist artists and arts organizations; promote the arts in education and celebrate Mississippi’s cultural heritage. Established in 1968, the Mississippi Arts Commission is funded by the Mississippi Legislature, the National Endow-
ment for the Arts, the Mississippi Endowment for the Arts at the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson and other private sources. The agency serves as an active supporter and promoter of arts in community life and in arts education. (For more information about LINK, visit www.LINKcorinthalcorn.org.

Northeast Mississippi honors fine arts students Four Northeast Mississippi Community College students were honored for their academic achievements in the area of fine arts during the tenth annual Honors Day Ceremony held at Northeast Mississippi Community College. Fine Arts Division Head Ray Harris presented Tamarcus Drake of Corinth, Megan Thomas of New Albany and John Connor Burns of Booneville with the division’s Award of Excellence. John Peter Ford of New Albany was named the Fine Arts Division’s most outstanding student. Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Honors Day Ceremony was held in the Bonner Arnold Coliseum on Thursday, May 1, and was sponsored by the Iota Zeta chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society. Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, is the largest honor society in higher education with 1,285 chapters on college campuses in all 50 of the
United States, plus Canada, Germany, the Republic of Palau, Peru, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the British Virgin Islands, the United Arab Emirates and U.S. territorial possessions. Nearly 3 million students have been inducted since its founding in 1918, with approximately 131,000 students inducted annually. Phi Theta Kappa seeks to foster the development of leadership and service, to provide an intellectual climate for the exchange of ideas, and to encourage the establishment of scholarships for advanced education. Northeast’s Iota Zeta chapter has been recognized as a “Five Star” chapter for 12 straight years, the highest rating given any chapter, and has been recognized as an exemplary model. Advisors for the chapter during the 2013-14 academic year are Dr. Ray Harris, Andrea Mathis of Booneville, Dr. Deborah Kehoe of Oxford and Carla Falkner of Tupelo.

nothing is left at L.C. Follin Christian Life Center next to the Kossuth High School gym. “Operation Back to School” is an extension of the church’s Forever, Unending, Eternal, Love (FUEL) after school program. “I wish everyone could receive what those kids give us,” said Davis of the FUEL program. “All of them have a personality that touches you.” During the yard sale, school supplies along with new and gently used clothing will be available to the public. A food box, containing 20 non-perishable food items, will also be awarded with everything distributed coming at no cost for those who receive it. “A big plus this year was the contribution of $2,300 to enable us to fulfill our mission,” said church member Anthia Follin-King. The donation was made by the Mississippi University for Women School of Nursing. The large contribution allows families to get the clothing and supplies they need. In previous years, families were limited to two outfits per child so more families could be helped. Each one taking part will be given vouchers to
accommodate the needs of their children. “The Lord laid the ministry on the church,” said Follin-King, also director of FUEL. “We didn’t know what we were going to do the first year, but His blessing and the help of the community made things work.” Children in the Kossuth School district are the focus for the need to help. “Families are truly grateful,” said church member Tonya Duffey. “It’s a blessing to watch those children get what they need for school.” “This is not just a Kossuth United Methodist Church thing, it’s about helping the whole community,” added FollinKing. “Churches are seeing the needs of people and starting to meet them.” Organizers have 92 backpacks filled with school supplies to be distributed. “I would like to see every church and organization take a ministry like this,” added Davis. “For most families with more than one child, just getting a backpack with school supplies is a big help.” For more information about “Operation Back to School” call First United Methodist Church at 287-7519.

Corinth, Miss.
Are black voters turning on Obama It may be too soon to label it a trend and there is insufficient data to confirm it, but President Obama and his party may be losing their iron grip on their most loyal and enthusiastic voting bloc: Cal African-Americans. Last Friday in Chicago, a Thomas group of black residents of Columnist the city’s South Side, staged a protest against the violent shootings that are becoming as commonplace as White Sox games at Cellular Field. It wasn’t just the protest that should concern the administration and Democrats; it was the language used by some of the protesters, many of whom at the time of the president’s 2009 inauguration likely joined other African-Americans in worshipping at the Obama shrine. One woman was quoted in The Washington Times: “Mr. President, we’re asking for you. You’re spending billions of dollars in Texas, but we’ve a problem here in Chicago...” Another said: “Today, if you look at the time we were brought here as slaves 400 years ago, we got the same results today.” In what might have been regarded as political heresy only a few years ago, something akin to denying Jesus in church, another protester seemed to suggest the president should resign if he continues to ignore the city’s problems: “For the president to set aside all of these funds for immigrants and (have) forsaken the African-American community, I think that’s a disgrace.” Speaking to the Rebel Pundit, the man added, “He will go down as the worst president ever elected. Bill Clinton was the African-American president.” How sharper than a serpent’s tooth to have such ingratitude for a former Chicago community organizer. Last weekend on several Sunday talk shows, Attorney General Eric Holder asserted that criticism of President Obama is, for some, borne of racism. Since the criticizers in Chicago last week were black, are they racists, or can only white critics be racists? Are those who criticize conservative and Republican African-Americans also racists or does that overused label only apply to whites who criticize black liberal Democrats? The president’s policies have made those Chicago protesters angry, not his skin color. They expected more and got far less. Part of their problem is what is shared by all who put too much faith in political leaders to solve problems, which, ultimately, only they have the power to solve. If President Obama’s policies and those of his fellow Democrats in Congress and in Chicago worked, Democrats would be boasting of their successes and ignoring critics. Patriotism is said to be the last refuge of scoundrels, so what is playing the race card? Is that the last refuge of failed policies? Blacks rightly feel jilted after pledging so much loyalty and emotion to a man they thought was one of their own. They are painfully learning that President Obama is like the fast-talking peddler of magical elixirs who promises a cure-all, then skips town before you find out you’ve been bamboozled. The protesters feel used and now the president and the Democrats seem to have jilted them in favor of the Hispanic vote. That’s what the unbridled illegal immigration debate is all about. One hundred fifty years ago the end of slavery and its consequences were just beginning. Hispanic immigrants will likely find themselves treated by most Democrats the same way African-Americans have been treated; as pawns in a never-ending game of political chess, eventually tossed aside as freely as a Bill Clinton conquest. Amid all this, Eric Holder deals the race card ... again. I’ll tell you what the race card has become. It is the Joker.

Black voter participation not a step backward Back in 1995 in the film “The American President,” Michael Douglas delivered a speech answering a rival that for many defined the cynical, hardball nature of politics in our country when he said that his opponent was “interested in two things, and two things only: making you afraid of it, and telling you who’s to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections.” Indeed. Exhibit “A” is basically any TV commercial or social media video you saw from either side in the 2014 Mississippi GOP Senate primary. This race made fans of hardball politics blush, cringe and recoil. Part of the narrative being offered in some quarters in the wake of what has been the strangest party primary in the state’s recent history is that efforts to gain increased black voter participation in the Republican U.S. Senate primary somehow “set race relations in Mississippi back 50 years.” How incredibly ridiculous that claim sounds from a historical perspective! Here we are in Mississippi during the 50th anniversary of Freedom Summer – a time in which people were being
murdered for engaging in voter registration efforts among A f r i c a n American Sid Salter communities Columnist in the state – listening to people claim that legal black voter participation in a Republican primary is a step backward in the state’s race relations. Freedom Summer’s battles weren’t fought over the right of black voters in Mississippi to participate in the primary elections of one party or the other. Those battles were fought over the right to vote – period. If some black Mississippi voters chose in 2014 to make legal second primary votes in the Republican primary to influence the outcome of that runoff election, which is their right under current Mississippi election law unless they voted in the Democratic first primary. What should have been the destination of the political journey begun in Mississippi before and during Freedom Summer a halfcentury ago was a state in which voters are voters and that all voters enjoy the free
exercise of the franchise to vote as they please. Mississippi law doesn’t require partisan voter registration and the significant limit is that voters can’t “crossover” between casting a first primary vote with one party and then a second primary vote in the primary of another party. Beyond that prohibition, voters have the right to choose – and in the case of the 2014 Mississippi GOP Senate second primary, it’s clear that a number of African American voters chose to use their legal votes to help decide the outcome of that primary. Setting race relations back 50 years? Please. I remember 50 years ago in Mississippi – complete with all the vestiges of segregation in schools, public accommodations, public transit and the lily-white governments and courts at all levels that were in place then. I remember the uglier parts of Mississippi’s history that I saw with my own eyes. There very well may be some bruised feelings and legitimate disagreement over political tactics, but the ultimate decision of black voters in Mississippi
to legally impose their will on a second primary election most certainly did not set race relations back 50 years in this state. With some 40 percent of Mississippi’s electorate now comprised of African American voters, the political party that fails to reach out to those voters and attempt to engage them do so at their long term political peril. Perhaps what we’re really afraid to talk about in 2014 in Mississippi is the fact that perhaps the old stereotypes are beginning to fall away. The de facto partisan segregation of white and black Mississippian is a model that bridged 1964 and 2014 – in which the majority of the state’s black voters tended to identify as Democrats while the majority of the state’s white voters tended to identify as Republicans, or so we all chose to believe based on election outcomes. In the recent primary, the actual political behavior didn’t fit that model. But it didn’t harm race relations in Mississippi in the least. Sid Salter is a syndicated political columnist.

President Obama’s hilarious lawlessness President Barack Obama styles himself a wit, and some of his best material lately has to do with his abuse of his powers. “As long as they’re doing nothing, I’m not going to apologize for doing something,” Obama riffed to a crowd at the Georgetown Waterfront Park in Washington, D.C., on July 1, referring to Republicans. “So sue me.” Hilarity ensued. He cracked them up in Austin, Texas, last week. “You hear some of them,” he said, “‘Sue him.’ ‘Impeach him.’ Really? Really? For what? You’re going to sue me for doing my job?” One can only imagine the comedic possibilities in his 9-0 defeat in the Supreme Court in June for his blatantly abusive recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, or any of the court’s other recent unanimous rebukes of his executive overreach. It takes a truly blithe spirit to play the constitutional deformation of his office, and the ensuing congressional reaction, for laughs. The Constitution’s injunction that the executive “take care that the Laws be faithfully executed” is not a suggestion. It is a requirement. It

is designed to prevent the executive from unilaterally suspending laws, Rich as EngLowry lish kings claimed the National right to do. Review The lawsuit against the president undertaken by House Speaker John Boehner targets the serial delay of Obamacare’s employer mandate, just one of a number of seat-of-thepants delays and alterations in the law. The administration nonetheless delayed the mandate for a year via a Treasury Department blog post in July 2013. Before his adoring audiences, the president says he has to act because Congress won’t. In this case, Congress was happy to act. In fact, the House passed a bill to delay the mandate until Jan. 1. President Obama threatened to veto it. Last February, the administration delayed the mandate yet again. It made a distinction between employers with 50 to 99 workers (the mandate won’t apply to them until 2016) and
employers with 100 or more workers (the mandate will apply to them in 2015) that has no basis in the law, and layered on additional rules also created ex nihilo. All of this is indefensible. Nicholas Bagley, a University of Michigan law professor and Obamacare supporter, wrote in a piece for The New England Journal of Medicine in May that the various ACA delays “appear to exceed the scope of the executive’s traditional enforcement discretion.” The left’s reaction to the Boehner suit has been to rip the speaker for, in effect, suing to achieve the expeditious implementation of a law he opposes. True enough, but Boehner is trying to vindicate a principle that should be obvious. As Bagley writes, “the Obama administration’s claim of enforcement discretion, if accepted, would limit Congress’s ability to specify when and under what circumstances its laws should take effect.” If the next president accepts Obama’s modus operandi, we will witness the effective institutionalization of a chief executive unmoored from the laws. So I sympathize with the

impetus behind the Boehner suit, even if I am lukewarm on the suit itself. The key procedural question is whether Congress has standing to sue the president. The courts have strict rules on standing that are “founded in concern about the proper -- and properly limited -- role of the courts in a democratic society,” in the words of the Supreme Court. Even if Congress can establish standing, it is inviting the courts directly into a political dispute with the executive branch, when the Constitution equips it with its own tools to fight such battles, especially the power of the purse and impeachment. That prudential considerations make wielding those powers problematic in this political environment doesn’t mean that the courts should necessarily be the recourse. At the end of the day, there’s simply no substitute for a political culture that values lawfulness. The president has damaged it gravely, and evidently had a hell of a lot of fun doing it.

Panel backs early release for felons WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of federal inmates serving time for drug crimes may be eligible for early release under a cost-cutting proposal adopted Friday that would dramatically reduce the nation’s prison population over time. The U.S. Sentencing Commission, which earlier this year voted to substantially lower recommended sentences for drug-dealing felons, voted unanimously to retroactively apply that change to prisoners now behind bars. More than 46,000 inmates, including many who have already served a decade or longer in prison, would be eligible to seek early release under the commission’s decision. A judge would review the case of each prisoner seeking to get out early to decide if the release would jeopardize public safety. The releases would start in November 2015 and be phased in over a period of years. The commission, an independent panel that sets sentencing policy, estimates sentences would be cut by an average of 25 months. Advocates of the early-release plan say it would cut prison costs — nearly one-half of the federal prison population is locked up for drug crimes — and scale back some of the harsh sentences imposed during the country’s war on drugs.
FDA issues warning on caffeine powder WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to avoid pure powdered caffeine sold on the Internet after the death of an Ohio teen. Even a teaspoon of the powder could be lethal — it is equivalent to 25 cups of coffee. Eighteen-year-old Logan Stiner of LaGrange, Ohio, died May 27 after consuming it. The FDA said it is investigating caffeine powder and will “consider taking regulatory action.� In the meantime, the agency said it is recommending consum-
ers stay away from it. Teenagers and young adults may be particularly drawn to the powder, which is a stimulant. Caffeine powder is marketed as a dietary supplement and is unregulated, unlike caffeine added to soda. FDA spokeswoman Jennifer Dooren said those who drink coffee, tea or soda may be aware of caffeine’s less serious effects, like nervousness and tremors, and may not realize that the powdered form is a pure chemical.
HIV diagnosis rate fall by third in US NEW YORK — The rate of HIV infections diagnosed in the United States each year fell by one-third over the past decade, a government study finds. Experts celebrated it as hopeful news that the AIDS epidemic may be slowing in the U.S. “It’s encouraging,� said Patrick Sullivan, an Emory University AIDS researcher who was not involved in the study. The reasons for the drop aren’t clear. It might mean fewer new infections are occurring. Or that most infected people already have been diagnosed so more testing won’t necessarily find many more cases. “It could be we are approaching something of a ‘ceiling effect,’� said one study leader, David Holtgrave of Johns Hopkins University. The study was released online Saturday by the Journal of the American Medical Association. It is part of the journal’s special report on HIV research, issued ahead of the International AIDS Conference that starts Sunday in Melbourne, Australia. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS, which destroys the immune system. The World Health Organization estimates 35 million people globally have the virus. In the United States, 1.1 million people are thought to be infected, though many don’t know it.

excavating an 18th-century battleground in upstate New York that was the site of a desperate stand by Colonial American troops, the flashpoint of an infamous massacre and the location of the era’s largest smallpox hospital. The site’s multilayered history poses unique challenges for the dig, which is being conducted in a state-owned park, a natural time capsule in the village of Lake George, a popular southern Adirondack tourist destination.

2 ag-gag laws facing challenges DES MOINES, Iowa — The yearslong fight over laws prohibiting secretly filmed documentation of animal abuse is moving from state legislatures to federal courts as laws in Utah and Idaho face constitutional challenges. Half of U.S. states have attempted to pass so-called ag-gag laws, but only seven have been successful. Animal rights groups, free speech activists and others have filed two separate, but similar lawsuits against aggag measures in two Western states. The lawsuits say the secrecy puts consumers at a higher risk of food safety problems and animals at higher risk of abuse. But farm organizations and livestock producers say the laws are aimed at protecting their homes and businesses from intruders.

Police recover Hood’s stolen gun JACKSON — Jackson police have recovered a handgun stolen several weeks ago from the personal vehicle of Attorney General Jim Hood. The gun was found at the home of a 72-yearold man involved in a domestic dispute, The Clarion-Ledger reported. Jackson Police Department spokeswoman Colendula Green said the gun and other personal items were stolen from Hood’s vehicle during daylight hours May 26 in the Steinmart parking lot facing Interstate 55 in northeast Jackson. Hood filed a police report. “He is grateful the gun has been recovered,� the attorney general’s spokeswoman, Jan Schaefer, said Friday. Police responding to a domestic dispute call at the home of George Harris ran a check of the gun’s serial number and found it had been stolen. Harris told police bought the gun Sunday from an unknown person in the parking lot of the Trade Mart building on the state fairgrounds, where a gun show was taking place. Green said no charges were filed against Harris. No one has been arrested in the burglary of Hood’s vehicle.
Brown leaving MSU Meridian Sept. 12 MERIDIAN — Steven F. Brown, the dean and associate vice president at Mississippi State University-Meridian, is leaving Sept. 12 to accept a leadership post at a Florida university. Brown has been at the MSU-Meridian campus since 2011.
He will become dean of the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Fla. He has held education posts at Emporia State University, the University of Mississippi, Northwest Missouri State University, East Central (Oklahoma) University and the University of Northern Iowa.
MVSU to purchase modular housing JACKSON — Mississippi Valley State University now plans to buy modular housing units, rather than lease them. The College Board approved the purchase plan Thursday. It had earlier approved a lease plan. Higher Education Chancellor Hank Bounds told the College Board that Valley will save money by purchasing because it will be able to resell the units when it’s done with them. “What we have learned is that purchasing the units is actually less expensive than leasing them,� Bounds said. The modular units will house 50 to 150 students, but won’t be ready until after classes start. Valley plans to house some students at hotels until Sept. 30, at the latest. College Board officials estimated that Valley will spend up to $900,000 for the modular units, about $200,000 to set them up and connect utilities and up to $90,000 for a few weeks of hotel rental. The university expects to recoup $400,000 a year on housing fees for two years. Bounds said that Valley probably wouldn’t recoup all its money, but said the uni-
versity also lost money last year renting the Three Rivers Inn & Suites and the Rodeway Inn in Greenwood to house about 100 students. Though students ate in the university dining hall and had shuttles to campus, Valley officials reported students were unsatisfied and some may have left the school because they were forced to live off campus. Valley, the smallest of Mississippi’s eight public universities, is struggling to stop declining enrollment. “Having students on campus gives us a much better opportunity to retain them,� Bounds said. Once College Hall I is renovated, Valley expects to sell the trailers and remove them.
Medical transport firm to add 80 jobs JACKSON — A Missouri company is opening a location in Mississippi to provide non-emergency medical transportation. MTM Inc. plans a transportation operation and call center in a north Jackson office building that will hire 80 people. The company is investing $400,000. The Mississippi Development Authority contributed $50,000 for building upgrades, as well as workforce training. State officials say the company will not be eligible for Mississippi’s additional health care incentives. The company, based in Lake St. Louis, Mo., provides a way to move non-emergency patients around without using expensive ambulances. Among its customers is the state of Mississippi, for whom it provides rides for Medicaid and kidney disease patients.

Pickwick resort settles complaint Associated Press
IUKA — Pickwick Pines Resort and its owner have agreed to pay $260,000 to settle a consumer protection lawsuit that the state attorney general filed in federal bankruptcy court. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that the resort’s owner, David McMeans, will pay $10,000 to the attorney general’s Consumer Protection Fund. He also will pay $250,000 to
reimburse the state for attorneys’ fees and expenses. Attorney General Jim Hood filed a civil complaint against McMeans and several Pickwick Pines business entities for unfair and deceptive business practices that included misrepresentation of fees charged to resort property owners and people leasing properties. The Pickwick Pines Association of Homeowners has been in a legal battle with McMeans
Woman claims pardon erased criminal record BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court is being asked to determine whether a pardon by the governor should be grounds to wipe clean a criminal record. The case centers on the claim of Rebecca Hentz, who was among dozens of people pardoned by Gov. Haley Barbour in 2012. She pleaded guilty in 2000 to attempting to manufacture methamphetamine, a felony. Hentz was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment with all 30 years suspended. She applied for and was granted a complete and unconditional pardon by Barbour. Armed with the pardon, she asked a Tallahatchie County judge to expunge her criminal record. The judge denied the request, saying state law does not allow expunction, or deletion, of her criminal record. In court documents, Hentz’s attorney concedes state law does not expressly give a court authority to expunge a criminal record after a pardon by the governor. “However, if it is the intent of a full, complete and unconditional pardon by the governor, to in essence restore a person to the status they occupied prior to their arrest and conviction, how can it be said that they are not entitled to have their record ex-
punged?” wrote lawyer Tommy Defer, who represents Hentz. Special Assistant Attorney General Lisa Blount said in a response that several laws provide for expunction of criminal records under limited circumstances. She said no state law provides for expunction upon the grant of an executive pardon. “While the Mississippi Constitution vests the governor with the power to grant pardons, it does not address the effects of a pardon on the expungement of criminal records,” Blount said. The case has been addressed before in Mississippi trial courts. In 2013, a Warren County judge ruled state law does not allow expunction of criminal records for Clarence Jones, who pleaded guilty to murder in 1992 in the stabbing death of his ex-girlfriend. Clarence Jones received an indefinite suspension of his life sentence in 2004 from Gov. Ronnie Musgrove and was released from prison. He had served as a trusty at the Governor’s Mansion. He was pardoned by Gov. Haley Barbour in 2008. Jones’ attorney argued the judge had constitutional authority to grant the request. Prosecutors argued that people Jones deals with should have access to his record.
in federal court over several issues, including escalating annual fees. Agreements the residents signed with Pickwick Pines said the mandatory annual fee of $600 when the resort opened in 2003 would be locked in as long as the purchaser owned the property. However, the annual fee escalated to $1,800 and has remained at that level since 2007. In the years since original
Deaths
complaints were filed by the attorney general and homeowners, McMeans and his Pickwick Pines properties have gone into bankruptcy, and all claims against him have languished there. In December 2013, Pickwick Pines Association of Homeowners won a temporary injunction that barred McMeans from collecting their annual fees until the attorney general’s case was settled.
In Georgia, Senate hopefuls stick to conservative views BY BILL BARROW Associated Press
CARTERSVILLE, Ga. — As they battle for Georgia’s Republican nomination for the U.S Senate, Rep. Jack Kingston and businessman David Perdue appeal almost exclusively to conservative voters. That bucks the recent example of Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran surviving a primary challenge with help from black voters and union members typically aligned with Democrats and, along with Republican Senate primaries Tennessee, South Carolina and elsewhere, serves as a reminder that the GOP’s core is still white conservatives, even as party leaders acknowledge the need to widen their appeal in an increasingly diverse nation. Perdue and Kingston meet Tuesday in a runoff to determine who will face Democrat Michelle Nunn in one of the nation’s most significant midterm general elections. Republicans need to hold onto retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss’s seat as part of their drive to win a Senate majority for the final two years of President Barack Obama’s administration. In Georgia, as in Mississippi, voters don’t register by party and the only voters who can’t
cast GOP runoff ballots Tuesday are the 426,000 who cast Democratic primary ballots in May. That leaves more than 4.5 million eligible voters, including many who lean Democratic in general elections. Yet aides for both campaigns say they expect turnout to fall well below Republicans’ primary turnout of 605,000. Kingston, an 11-term House veteran from the coastal 1st Congressional District, says he’s sticking to his “great coalition” of “business groups, agriculture, Republican Party regulars, tea party conservatives.” It’s his “natural group,” Kingston explains. Perdue, a former corporate CEO making his first bid for elected office, has run from the start as an “outsider,” the moniker emblazoned on the side of his campaign bus. But in the runoff campaign, he’s taken to calling himself a “conservative outsider.” “My voters came out in the primary,” he said after a recent campaign stop, “and if I get my voters out again, we win this runoff.” Each candidate insists that the nation must have a Republican-run Senate. Both are critical of President Barack Obama, with Kingston even saying that impeachment proceedings aren’t out of the question
in the GOP-run House. And, perhaps most importantly, both campaigns say they expect turnout to fall well below the 605,355 ballots cast two months ago. It’s all a stark contrast to a Mississippi primary where Cochran won a June 24 runoff after trailing tea party conservative Chris McDaniel three weeks earlier. And it underscores that Republicans’ best strategies in midterm elections, when Democrats historically struggle to get enough young and minority voters to the polls, don’t necessarily help the party rebuild a winning national coalition in presidential elections. Cochran, a six-term senator facing his first tough re-election in 30 years, made an open appeal to Democrats — most of whom are black in his state — with his argument that Mississippi can’t afford to lose his seniority on the Senate Appropriations Committee, where he’s helped secure billions of dollars in federal aid for everything from defense contractors and universities to rebuilding programs after hurricanes. Returns show it worked. Statewide turnout increased by about 20 percent over the first round, but turnout in majority black counties grew by 43 percent.
Mississippi Supreme Court upholds Oxford hospital ruling Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has upheld a state judge’s order that lets the city of Oxford annex the site of Baptist Memorial HospitalNorth Mississippi’s new hospital. In March 2013, a Lafayette County chancery judge ruled in favor of several landowners who
petitioned the court to allow Oxford to take in the property. The process is called inclusion, a procedure that produces the same result as annexation but is initiated by someone other than the city. It avoids what can be a long annexation process. Kenneth Farrell and two other opponents appealed the deci-
sion to the Supreme Court. They argued the city of Oxford was misusing Mississippi’s inclusion statute and was “an attempt to divert development from other more desirable sites” in the city. Baptist Memorial HospitalNorth Mississippi is building a $300 million medical center on a 160-acre site south of Mississippi Highway 6.
It will have 217 beds initially and could expand to 290 beds. The petition to include the land inside the city limits was filed in February 2013 by Bob and Beth King, who sold the property to Baptist. The petition was filed so the new hospital could receive fire and police protection and city water and sewer services.

JACKSON — Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel said Friday that other Republicans used “race-baiting” to hurt him in a U.S. Senate primary, and the GOP needs to be “purged” of people who use racially inflammatory campaign techniques against members of their own party. McDaniel lost the Republican primary runoff last month to six-term U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, but he has not conceded. McDaniel says he intends to challenge that loss, and his campaign is still examining ballot boxes and poll books to seek voting irregularities. In an interview Friday on “Focal Point,” a talkshow on American Family Radio in Tupelo, McDaniel criticized Cochran’s campaign and political action committees that supported the incumbent. “They hired Democratic operatives to go out into Democratic communities and call me a racist,” McDaniel told host Bryan Fischer. “That’s despicable. It’s the scarlet letter that they know works in society. It’s the way Democrats campaign. It’s the way liberals campaign.” McDaniel, a tea partybacked candidate, made sharp reduction of federal spending a centerpiece of his campaign. He criticized ads that ran on black radio stations before the June 24 runoff that said he would cut programs such as food stamps if he were elected.

Everyone must come to terms with flaws Everyone has an aversion to flaws. No one wants to buy a product with flaws. Who wants to drive a flawed car? Flaws in another person can be annoying. However, flaws are a part of life. Rather than being irritated by flaws, you can use them for personal growth. Life is not perBryan fect. If it was, the Golden boredom level Dare to Live would be very Without Limits high. The secret to coping is keeping flaws in perspective. Ironically we tend to do just the opposite. We will overlook much of the good stuff in order to fixate on any flaws. This process becomes so habituated that many people aren’t aware they are doing it.
For example, out of 10 issues, one is not ideal. Yet, it’s the flawed one that consumes your attention. You thus ignore the 90% of the good stuff. When fixated on flaws, not only do you overlook things you should be appreciating, you also experience more stress and anxiety. This strained emotional state further magnifies flaws out of proportion and inhibits your problem solving abilities. As you become mired in flaws, you stop noticing most, if not all of the good stuff. You no longer stop to smell the flowers because you don’t even see the flowers. Left unchecked, this syndrome dominates your outlook. When the only things you see in life are flaws, your attitude becomes one of problems and struggle instead of solutions and joy. Not only do you invariably find or create problems,

De la Renta exhibit opens at Bush library BY JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press
DALLAS — As former first lady Laura Bush gazed at the elegant kneelength Oscar de la Renta dress and coat she wore to the swearing-in ceremony at her husband’s 2005 inauguration, she recalled that white turned out to be the perfect color choice. “The floor of the platform was a beautiful sky blue, which I didn’t know that it would be ... So the white dress with snow all out on the ground and then this beautiful sky blue platform really looked perfect,” Bush said. Turning her eyes to the silvery gown she wore that night, she said: “He made it so sparkling and so beautiful with the crystals.” The ensembles are among more than 60 featured in a new retrospective of de la Renta’s career that opens Saturday at the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas. “Oscar de la Renta: Five Decades of Style,” runs through Oct. 5. “To me, this is such a great example of what Oscar really tries to do — whether it’s for first ladies or the lady on the street, he really tries to understand what people want, what people need, he tries to get people. And I think that this is really a reflection of his great relationship with Mrs. Bush,” said Alex Bolen, chief executive officer of Oscar de la Renta, as well as the designer’s son-in-law. The exhibit featuring designs from the begin-
ning of de la Renta’s career in the 1960s to present day is arranged by themes, from gowns inspired by de la Renta’s love of gardening to those showing the Spanish influence on his works to gowns worn on red carpets and by first ladies, including Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Nancy Reagan. Bush said the exhibit was the designer’s idea. “He called me and said, ‘May I do a show there? I’d love to.’ Of course I was thrilled, I’d always envisioned that we do a show of clothes,” Bush said. Her daughter Jenna Bush Hager’s wedding dress is among those displayed, along with Bush’s turquoise mother-of-the bride dress. “When Jenna married, there was just one designer she wanted to design her dress, and that was Oscar,” Bush said, adding, “Of course she thought it was the prettiest dress ever, and it is.” Bush said she was able to wear many of the dresses to multiple events, including a blue silk dress she wore not only for a Vogue photo shoot but also on other occasions including a dinner for then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy and for her White House portrait. “One of the great things about his clothes is that you can wear them over and over,” she said. “They last longer than a year: Both they stay in fashion longer than a year and then they also obviously are so beautifully made they last for a long time.”
you also attract them. In addition to external flaws, there are the flaws you see within yourself. Although these flaws may or may not exist, your perception is your reality. It’s not uncommon for someone to find an internal flaw where others see strengths. For example, there have been many stunningly attractive actresses who see physical flaws that no one else can find. Someone who is thin and in great shape will think they are overweight. Someone who has a beautiful face will think their nose is too big. Being hyper critical of yourself doesn’t help you. You are unique. There’s no point to comparing yourself to others. There are aspects you can change and others you can’t. Physical attributes are just one area where many find flaws in
themselves. You are born with a certain face, body type, and height. Obsessing over these aspects just causes stress. One critical factor that impacts the way you look is your attitude. Regardless of their physical characteristics, positive, upbeat, and happy people are more attractive than their negative, sour, and unhappy counterparts. Character flaws can be corrected. It doesn’t matter how long they’ve existed. To fix a character flaw, you have to recognize, acknowledge, take responsibility for it, and then be willing to change it. If you deny it or make excuses, you won’t make any changes. This is one type of flaw you don’t have to live with. Invariably, you will notice flaws in others. You can change yourself but you cannot change someone else. Other people are
who they are. If any changes are to be made, they have to be willing to make them. So you have to recognize and accept people for who they are. If you can’t overlook their flaws, the only option is to eliminate or minimize your contact with them. Any attempt to force someone else to change, leads to friction. Concentrate on the many wonderful aspects of life. Don’t get hung up on flaws. Seek out solutions rather than searching for problems. Maintain an attitude of gratitude. Even an empty glass is a useful because with it you can get a drink. Bryan Golden is a management consultant, motivational speaker, author, and adjunct professor.

Liberals, Clinton assessing 2016 race BY KEN THOMAS Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren told a group of young Democrats Wednesday that the political system was “rigged” by powerful lobbyists and the wealthy and made an impassioned case for reducing burdensome student loans. Vice President Joe Biden said he had been on the front lines of debates over income inequality, climate change and gay marriage. “I’ve been at the center of most progressive battles for a long, long time,” Biden said, in a lengthy speech to Generation Progress. He heard shouts of “We love Joe,” as he exited the stage. Hillary Rodham Clinton remains the dominant figure in Democrats’ early 2016 discussions but she is beginning to get elbowed by liberals in her party as she considers a second run for the presidency. Potential 2016 rivals like Biden, Warren and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley are in the middle of a summertime tour of Democratic constituencies, frequently appealing to liberal activists who want a more populist approach to the economy and question the deporting of an influx of immigrant children from Central America. Clinton, who dominates early 2016 polls, may avoid a significant primary challenge if she runs for president. Biden has kept all options open, Warren has repeatedly denied interest, while O’Malley promotes his record in Maryland as a model in the party and is actively exploring a campaign. But the jousting shows an inteest in an alternative, and preparations in the event Clinton doesn’t run. “Ongoing current events give her potential opponents an opportunity to position themselves in contrast to her,” said Democratic strategist Tom McMahon. Biden, who will address the liberal Netroots Nation conference in Detroit later this week along with Warren, noted his role as a leading advocate for President Barack Obama’s agenda in a wideranging speech that touched upon issues like domestic violence, voting rights and the problems of corrosive politics. Biden said he’s often referred to as “middle class Joe,” telling the students that the economic bargain of years past had been bro-
“Ongoing current events give her potential opponents an opportunity to position themselves in contrast to her.” Tom McMahon Democratic strategist ken and needed to be restored. “Folks in the middle, they need to be cut into the deal, not cut out,” Biden said. “The folks at the bottom need to know that they have the chance to climb the ladder.” Biden has maintained ties to the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and projects a blue-collar image in contrast to the former first lady’s recent stumbles over discussions of her family’s wealth. Warren has become a hero of the party’s economic populists, railing against high student loan debt at a time when Clinton has received six-figure speaking fees on college campuses. She passes them along to her family’s foundation. In her speech, Warren detailed “how Washington is a rigged game” and said her bill to help students refinance their college loans at lower rates had been blocked by Senate Republicans and she cast blame on Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. “Our voices matter and it’s time to use them. Together that’s how we make sure that our government works,” Warren said. Warren has turned into a go-to surrogate for Senate candidates, campaigning for Democrats in Oregon, Kentucky and West Virginia. She planned to raise money for Rep. Gary Peters, who is seeking Michigan’s open Senate seat, during her trip to Detroit for Netroots Nation and was ending the week in Los Angeles at the National Council of La Raza, where immigration will be a leading topic. Democrats note that Clinton still holds a sizable advantage in early primary polls and suggest she could appeal to all wings of the party. “The view among a lot of progressive people is that there’s a more practical view of her candidacy, there’s enormous strength there,” said Tad Devine, a veteran of Democratic presidential campaigns. O’Malley has made trips to
Iowa and New Hampshire in the past month and notably distanced himself from both Clinton and Obama on the crisis along the Mexican border. “We are not a country that should turn children away and send them back to certain death,” O’Malley told reporters in Nashville, Tenn., during a weekend meeting of the National Governors Association. Late Tuesday, reports of a leaked phone call between the governor and a top Obama aide surfaced, appearing to make O’Malley look like a hypocrite because he asked the administration not to send the immigrants to his state. Clinton cited the need to reunite the children with their families but said during a CNN forum in June that the U.S. needed to “send a clear message: Just because your child gets across the border doesn’t mean your child gets to stay.” During her book tour, Clinton has frequently cited the economic struggles of many Americans who have yet to partake in the recovery and pointed to the broad-based growth in jobs during her husband’s two terms in the White House. In an interview with German news magazine Der Spiegel, Clinton said the work of Thomas Piketty, the economist and best-selling author, showed that income inequality was “threatening to democracy.” That message could help her connect with liberals, who have been wary of her ties to Wall Street and the corporate support of the Clinton Foundation. Liberals are closely watching how Clinton might frame an economic agenda in a potential presidential campaign. “She has to figure out what’s her message for a new American electorate: African-Americans, Hispanics, young people, women, all of whom are suffering,” said Roger Hickey, co-director of the Campaign for America’s Future.

Auctioneer chosen as national director SELMER, Tenn. — Selmer’s Hall of Fame auctioneer Tim Mast was elected to the Board of Directors of the National Auctioneers Association when the nation’s largest group of auctioneers gathered recently in Louisville for the organization’s annual Conference & Show. Mast received the largest total number of votes of any of the four candidates, outpacing his closest opponent by more than 10 percent. Mast is executive vice president of Tranzon Asset Advi-
sors, based in Selmer, and specializes in the sale of real estate at auction throughout the southeastern United States and beyond. “The decision to seek the position called for a lot of thought and prayer. You have to really want to serve your fellow auctioneers and help make the industry stronger, and it’s a major time commitment. We had four excellent candidates seeking two positions on the board, so it’s a great honor to have been selected,” said Mast. Placing second, and
receiving a second seat on the board, was David Whitley, of Colorado. Mast will be serving alongside Thomas W. Saturley, who was installed as president of the NAA last week. “Tom has been a great example and inspiration to me – not only in his leadership role with Tranzon having been a founding partner, but in his willingness to serve his fellow auctioneers through the NAA. This makes it especially meaningful for me,” said Mast. Tranzon Asset Advi-
sors is a full-service auction company providing real estate auction and accelerated marketing services, as well as liquidations of business and other financial assets for corporations, financial institutions, trustees, individuals, and estates. The firm is part of the Tranzon, LLC network of experienced and highly respected auction companies located throughout the United States.

Microsoft CEO pivots with 18,000 job cut BY RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer
LOS ANGELES — Microsoft announced the biggest layoffs in its 39year history Thursday, outlining plans to cut 18,000 jobs in a move that marked the CEO’s sharpest pivot yet away from his predecessor’s drive for the company to make its own devices. Although some cuts had been expected ever since Microsoft acquired Nokia’s mobile-device unit, the number amounted to 14 percent of the Microsoft workforce — about twice what analysts had estimated. The cuts will include some 12,500 jobs associated with the Nokia unit — nearly half of the 28,000 employees Microsoft brought on board in April through the acquisition. When the cuts are complete, the company will still have about 10,000 more employees than before the Nokia acquisition, with an overall headcount of 109,000. In a public email to employees, CEO Satya Nadella said the changes were needed for the com-
pany to “become more agile and move faster.” The move also pushes Nokia to focus solely on the Windows Phone operating system. Nadella is clearly backing away from former CEO Steve Ballmer’s strategy of getting Microsoft to make its own smartphones and tablets. “He’s making a pretty serious game-changing strategy move away from hardware,” said Michael Turits, managing director of equity research for financial services company Raymond James & Associates. Nadella indicated that Microsoft will largely abandon low-price Nokia Asha phones — which work on their own nonWindows operating system — and reverse a strategically questionable move by Nokia in February to launch a line of phones called “X’’ that supported rival Google Inc.’s Android platform. “To win in the higher price tiers, we will focus on breakthrough innovation that expresses and enlivens Microsoft’s digital work and digital life experiences,” Nadella

said in the memo. Some 1,350 Seattle-area workers around Microsoft’s Redmond, Washington, headquarters were laid off Thursday, as were 1,800 workers in Hungary and nearly 370 in San Diego. The Nokia cuts include 1,100 jobs in Finland. In addition, the company is closing its Xbox Entertainment Studios, a 2-year-old venture based in Santa Monica, California, that produced original video content but was seen as separate from Microsoft’s core business. Microsoft Corp. expects charges of $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion over the next four quarters, largely for severance payments. The move puts the company on track to meet the target it set in September, when it announced the Nokia purchase, of saving $600 million in annual costs within 18 months after the deal closed. Ballmer announced the Nokia deal a month after he said he was resigning. FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives said the cuts were about double what Wall Street was expecting. “Microsoft needs to be a leaner and meaner technology giant over the coming years in order to strike the right balance of growth and profitability around its cloud and mobile endeavors,” he said. The move dwarfs Microsoft’s previous biggest job cut, when it eliminated about 5,800 jobs in 2009. That was the company’s first widespread layoff. Microsoft has been shifting its focus from traditional PC software to cloud computing and cloud-based products like its Office 365 productivity software that can operate on mobile devices. With its $7.3 billion acquisition of Nokia’s cellphone business, Microsoft had sought to meld its software and hardware business into a cohesive
package, similar to rival Apple. But investors had lingering doubts about the strategy, especially because the two brands’ market share in smartphones and tablets was so far behind Apple and Samsung. According to the latest financials, the Surface and Nokia device units are both losing money. Nokia phones ran a wide array of operating systems that were not helpful to Microsoft’s Windows brand. The Asha operating system, for instance, lacked features like the ability to use mobile versions of Office software or even GPS mapping. Soon after the deal was announced, Nokia’s overall handset sales plunged 29 percent in the final quarter of last year, even as its high-end Lumia devices grew quickly. The Nokia purchase “is not a deal that (Nadella) agreed upon or negotiated or perhaps really wanted,” said Scott Kessler, senior equity analyst at S&P Capital IQ. “Secondly, it seems that the market has changed pretty significantly over the last year ... pretty traumatic cuts seem probably somewhat appropriate at this point.” In a letter to employees, Executive Vice President Stephen Elop said the company will drive sales of its Windows Phone by targeting the lower-price smartphone market with its Lumia devices. A separate memo by a Microsoft executive in India posted by the BGR website said the company will stop engaging with developers on new apps for Nokia X, Asha and Series 40 phones, but maintain support for customers who own the phones. In a blog post a week ago, Nadella hinted at the move, saying Microsoft had to “change and evolve” its culture for the “mobile-first and cloudfirst world.”

Hot, hazy days of summer are unbearable for woman D E A R ABBY: I am, once a g a i n , faced with my annual dilemma. I cannot tolAbigail erate heat humidVan Buren and ity. I become short Dear Abby of breath, my heart pounds and I perspire profusely. I recover immediately if I go into an air-conditioned area. I have discussed this with doctors. They attribute it to my “thermostat” and the fact that I am a very fair-skinned redhead. My mother had the same problem.Of course, I stay in air-conditioned places. The problem arises when we’re invited to cookouts or to the home of someone whose place isn’t air-conditioned. I don’t know how to explain that I simply cannot come. I am forever trying to think of excuses to get out of invitations. I feel bad because the problem is mine and I can’t control it. Even people who know about it don’t understand the extent of it. Do you have any thoughts
on how to handle this with tact? -- HOT AND BOTHERED IN NEW YORK DEAR HOT AND BOTHERED: Yes, I do. Tell these people the truth. If they’re your friends, they will understand. DEAR ABBY: My husband drives the car with his knees while shaving, drinking coffee, brushing his teeth, talking on the cell and using one hand to steer. When I complain, he makes fun of me and says, “Those that can, do.” I am in the shotgun/passenger seat and would prefer death to being paralyzed in an accident he causes. When I see him with coffee headed to the car, I insist on driving, but sometimes I don’t catch him in time. We have been married for 30 years, and I know he loves me and isn’t trying to kill me. He reads your column, so maybe you can help me get through to him. -- CRINGING IN LONG BRANCH, N.J. DEAR CRINGING: What your risk-loving husband is doing falls under the category of “distracted driving.” Eating, drinking, grooming and using a handheld cellphone are against the law
in some states -- including yours -- because folks who steer with their knees and use their rearview mirror to shave, practice dental hygiene or apply makeup have been known to cause serious accidents. Since you haven’t been able to get through to your husband, hang onto the car keys or insist that he finish with his “activities” before starting the ignition. And if he won’t cooperate, for your own safety, get out of the car and arrange for other transportation. CONFIDENTIAL TO ‘DISAPPOINTED IN ALBUQUERQUE’: Do not give up on your dream to be of service to others. It may not have come to fruition yet, but it may happen. There is truth to the wonderful line uttered by Martin Luther King Jr.: “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite HOPE.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). To know the difference between sense and nonsense, you have to encounter both. So whatever nonsense you encounter today, and you will, count it among your blessings. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Observe quietly until you learn the game. You don’t have to know all of the rules before you jump in, but you should at least know enough of them so as not to annoy the other players. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll have the combination of strength and flexibility necessary to entertain chaos. Because you can handle this, you’ll be an integral part of a creative process. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Because you have a good sense of where you are and in what direction you are moving, you’ll find that people around you naturally gravitate toward you and want to move in your direc-
tion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Go to bed on time. It will do wonders for your outlook, which has suffered from a bout of weariness of late. Better yet, go to bed early. Your energy will be strong tomorrow, which is a good day for changing the world. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If what you’re doing works, why discontinue it just because it turns out it’s not the so-called “right” or “accepted” way? Ask yourself whether the others are really experts at the specific thing you’re doing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some people seem to glide through life with a truly infuriating level of ease and grace. Or so it seems. Social media feeds are not to be trusted today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The tides of the day will pull you in and out of the work you’d like to accomplish. An earth sign will help to bring
you back to the here and now when you need it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Whatever your age, this will be a youthful day filled with high energy and folly, too. Celebrate all aspects of this youthful spirit, which is as beautiful as it is temporal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Because you’re willing to jump in and tackle things, you’ll sweat out the afternoon experience. Then when you drop into bed tonight, you’ll feel like you really lived out loud. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sometimes your body can be smarter than you. You would be wise to listen as it tells you the ways in which it doesn’t wish to move and the things it prefers not to eat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’d rather not talk about what you’re going to do. You feel that you have just enough time to do it without words, and indeed your actions will speak volumes.

MACJC confirms changes for baseball The Associated Press
JACKSON —The Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges is changing scheduling and playoff formats for the 2015 baseball season. The association says in a news release that each junior college team in the state will play each other once in the regular season and play a 28game schedule. Those games will be played in 14 doubleheaders. League opponents will play Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The North and South divisions will remain, with the top two teams from each division earning an automatic berth to the MACJC state playoffs. The remaining four playoff spots will go to the teams with the best league records, regardless of divisions. The first round will be a best-of-three series, followed by a four-team state tournament to determine the conference champion. “The biggest thing that pushed these changes was the addition of Meridian back
into the league. They were put into the South Division, which made everything uneven in terms of how many conference games would be played,” said Northwest Mississippi Community College baseball coach Mark Carson. “The suggestion came up that we just play everyone in the league, and that gives everything a little variety. You don’t have to play teams twice, and now it feels a little more like real college baseball.” Carson said one concern
about the new format is travel time, as some schools in the state are as many as six hours away from each other. “We’ve thought about this some and the coaches have brought it up to each other,” Carson said. “As a former player, it is very taxing and I do think it will have an effect on us. With us being in the corner of the state, we will have our share of travel, compared to some of the other schools in the state. Everyone is going to have to do it.”
Parks among ICC softball honorees BY ADAM GORE LetsGoICC.com
FULTON— Nine Itawamba Community College softball players have been recognized as All-America Scholar Athletes by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) for finishing the 2013-14 school year with a 3.50 or better GPA. Sophomores Catherine Carver (Hernando), Rachel Elder (Guntown), Kory Watterson (Nesbit), and Ashley Longford (Caledonia) along with freshmen Cara Hopper (Caledonia), Hannah Johnson (Branson, MO), Haley Moore (Booneville), Hannah Parks (Kossuth High School) and Laken Shankle (Bruce) all were honored by the NFCA for their excellence in the classroom. “I’m really proud of all the hard work the girls put into the classroom,” said MACJC North Division Coach of the Year Andy Kirk. “Academic success will always be something we stress in our program because the type of discipline that goes into taking care of business in the classroom is the same kind that is key to being successful on the softball field.” The Lady Indians finished the season 37-14 overall and 21-4 in division play to win the program’s third-straight MACJC North Division crown while earning their highest ranking ever at No. 11 in the NJCAA’s final poll of the season.

McIlroy builds 6-shot lead at British Open The Associated Press
HOYLAKE, England —Rory McIlroy looked as though he had just thrown a knockout punch at the British Open, and it was only Saturday. When he rolled in a 10foot eagle putt on the final hole for a 4-under 68, he straightened his back, stared defiantly at thousands of fans crammed into the horseshoe arena around the 18th green at Royal Liverpool and lightly
pumped his fist. He went from being tied for the lead to six shots ahead of Rickie Fowler in just over an hour. And suddenly, the biggest challenge facing the 25-yearold from Northern Ireland was reminding himself that he had one more round left. McIlroy can’t afford to picture his name etched on the base of that silver claret jug. He can’t think about what it
will be like next April to drive down Magnolia Lane at Augusta National with a shot at becoming the sixth player to capture the career Grand Slam. “I’m not taking anything for granted,” McIlroy said. He knows that from experience, good and bad. He blew a four-shot lead at the Masters in 2011 and shot 80 in the final round. He had an eight-shot lead at the U.S.
Open two months later and set two scoring records to win by eight. And just two months ago, McIlroy came from seven shots behind to win by seven. It looks like a lost cause for Fowler, Sergio Garcia and anyone else trying to chase down a guy who has won both his majors by eight shots. The six-shot lead was the largest at The Open since Tiger Please see OPEN | 11A
Alabama players motivated by sour ending The Associated Press
HOOVER, Ala. — Alabama receiver Amari Cooper has been through the offseasons filled with talk of repeat national championships, and now he’s endured one that began with sour memories not celebratory confetti showers.
Cooper has no doubt which is more motivating. “The losses,” he said Thursday. “It humbles you and it makes you hungry and aware of how losing feels, and you don’t want to feel that way again.” The Crimson Tide was once
again declared the Southeastern Conference favorite in media voting at the league’s media days, and is regarded as one of the likely national contenders. That’s nothing new. Nevertheless, the mood has been as different as the mem-
ories. Alabama was roughed up by Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl and that came after Auburn’s 109-yard return of a missed field goal on the Iron Bowl’s final play, which has Please see ALABAMA | 11A
Poor drafts, big contracts lead to Phillies’ fall The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — An old, familiar chant is back after a long absence at the Philadelphia Phillies’ cozy ballpark. It goes like this: “E-A-G-L-E-S!” The Phillies are last in the NL East and headed toward their second straight losing season and third in a row missing the postseason. So, fans are turning their attention to the football team. Cheering for the Eagles
during a Phillies’ game is the ultimate sign of apathy, a flashback to the way it used to be around here before the baseball team won over the city. Less than three years removed from a dominant run that featured five straight NL East titles, two pennants and one World Series championship, the Phillies barely resemble the team that captured the hearts of a sports-
crazed town. Attendance is down, of course. After seven straight seasons of drawing at least three million fans, the Phillies are on pace for a half-million drop this year. They had a consecutive sellout streak of 257 games — the third-longest in MLB history — between July 7, 2009 and Aug. 6, 2012. Now, empty, blue seats fill the stands. Several of the star players
who led the most successful period in franchise history are still here — Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Cole Hamels, Carlos Ruiz. They’re getting paid for past performances and each — except Hamels — is well past his prime. That’s part of the reason why the Phillies are in this mess. Thanks to the big contracts Please see PHILLIES | 11A

Woods led by six at St. Andrews in 2000. Even so, McIlroy was doing his best to preach caution. “A lot can happen,” he said. “And I’ve been on the right side of it and I’ve been on the wrong side of it. You can’t let yourself think forward. You’ve just got to completely stay in the moment, and that’s what I’m going to try to do for all 18 holes tomorrow.” History is on his side. No one has ever lost a six-shot lead in the 121 years that The Open has been contested over 72 holes. Boy Wonder would
not seem to be a candidate. “What you have with him is he’s just so explosive,” Jim Furyk said after a 71 left him 10 shots behind. “He won the U.S. Open by eight shots. He obviously doesn’t have any issue as the front-runner, and has no issue trying to extend that lead, much like Tiger used to.” McIlroy was at 16-under 200. “If I’m able to go out and get off to a good start, maybe I can put a little bit of pressure on him,” Fowler said after a 68. “Because he’s definitely in control of the golf tournament right now.”
PHILLIES CONTINUED FROM 10A
general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. gave the stars of ‘08 and money spent on Cliff Lee, Jonathan Papelbon, A.J. Burnett and Marlon Byrd, they have the highest payroll ($184 million) in club history and third-highest in the majors. All that produced a 42-53 record before the All-Star break, putting the Phillies 10 games behind Washington and Atlanta. With the nonwaiver trade deadline approaching on July 31, major changes are expected. The Phillies twice flirted with inching their way into the playoff race by winning five straight games only to fall further back in the standings. “Regardless of how we play, they’re still going to make their decisions for the future of the team,” Rollins said. “I remember back in ‘05, ‘06 we started making trades and we started winning. It’s like, you take this guy out and you say we’re not going to compete this year but we have the last say in that, and hopefully that is something that’s
going to happen this year.” Rollins and teammates are clinging to hope they can turn things around. They’re ballplayers so they have to think like that. Reality says it’s time for the Phillies to rebuild. Declining veterans are only part of the problem. Young players haven’t stepped up and a dearth of talent in the minors leaves little hope for a quick turnaround. Domonic Brown was a heralded prospect who finally lived up to expectations last year when he was an All-Star in his first full season as a starter. But he’s batting just .227 with six homers and 46 RBIs this year and running out of chances. Ben Revere doesn’t appear to be the answer in center fielder of the future. He’s hitting .295, but has a .316 on-base percentage and .670 OPS and is poor defensively. Third baseman Cody Asche (.254, six homers, 29 RBIs) still has potential to be a middle-ofthe-order hitter.
ALABAMA CONTINUED FROM 10A
has seemed to Landon Collins to be on an endless loop ever since. “It shows on TV every day,” the Tide safety said. “It beats in our heart every day. I get sick. I have to turn it off.” The unhappy ending to last season left coach Nick Saban’s concerns less about complacency and more about getting back to doing what led to three national titles in four years. As he put it, players and coaches must “check your ego at the door.” Alabama is still seeking a replacement to quarterback AJ McCarron, a race that has come down to Blake Sims and Florida State transfer Jake Coker. Plus the latest crop to leave for the NFL must be replaced. “We’re basically an
unproven team in some areas,” Saban said. “There’s a lot of question marks because of the players that we lost and the players that we have coming in.” It hasn’t changed the way Alabama is regarded: As the team to beat in the SEC. League media picked Alabama to win the West over defending league champion Auburn, and the overall title, in balloting released Thursday. South Carolina was picked to top Georgia in the East. Saban noted that SEC reporters have only been right five times in the last 22 years. “You’ve been wrong the last five years in a row,” he said. “Every year that we won the championship you picked somebody else. To be kind, it doesn’t mean anything.

Cards score 4 in 1st, edge Dodgers BY STEVE OVERBEY Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — After stumbling in his first start following three months on the disabled list, Joe Kelly tinkered with his mechanics. Kelly bounced back with seven strong innings and Matt Adams homered in a four-run first as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 Saturday to send All-Star Zack Greinke to losses in consecutive regular-season starts for the first time in nearly four years. Kelly (2-1) gave up four hits over seven innings, retiring his last 13 batters as the Cardinals won for the eighth time in 10 games. Kelly didn’t get a decision on July 11 in his return from a strained left hamstring, when he gave up six runs over three innings during the Cardinals’ 7-6 win at Milwaukee. After winning for the first time since April 5, he wouldn’t detail his changes. “I did a lot of stuff different, but I’m not going to give it away,” he said. “If you watch the video, you can probably tell.” Kelly induced 12 groundouts and got out of trouble with double plays in each of the first two innings. “I was just trying to mix up pitches and hide stuff better,” he said. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny was impressed with Kelly’s ability to keep the ball down. “I thought it was one of his better pitching performances,” Matheny said. “There were times when I even thought his chan-
feat at Detroit, Greinke (11-6) walked a seasonhigh five and gave up four runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings. He had not lost back-to-back starts in the regular season since Sept. 20 and 25, 2010, for Kansas City at Detroit and Cleveland, according to STATS. Greinke did lose his regular-season finale against Colorado last year and was beaten by Atlanta in his first postseason start. “Too many mistakes in one inning,” Greinke said. “I’ve been doing that too much lately, getting behind in a game too early.
geup was a breaking ball. It has so much depth to it. So his secondary pitches were on.” The Dodgers’ Adrian Gonzalez thought Kelly had great pitch location. “He didn’t throw any balls in the middle of the plate,” he said. “He kept throwing his fastballs right on the corner.

Mitchell contributes to family farm, community BY KAITLYN BYRNE MSU Ag Communications
Despite jokingly being called her father’s “second son” because of her willingness to help with chores while growing up on her family’s farm, Sandy Coleman Mitchell has proven that women make valuable contributions to the agricultural industry. In addition to raising about 40 head of beef cattle with her husband and parents, Mitchell works as Alcorn County’s Soil Conservation district clerk. She also grows vegetables, volunteers with Alcorn County 4-H, serves on the Corinth Area Convention and Visitor’s Bureau board and serves as the Women’s Program Chair on her local Farm Bureau board, which carries agricultural information to local schools each year. “I am very involved in our community, and I want to see it grow and succeed,” Mitchell said. “As district clerk, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the greatest landowners in our area. They’re concerned about soil and water erosion

Sandy Coleman Mitchell feeds cattle at her family’s farm in Corinth on July 14. Mitchell strives to educate her community about the importance of agriculture. and take pride in their farms. I’ve seen really bad gullies transformed into structures that not only work well, but look good, too. “I’m proud to be a part of the survey and installation of many of these
practices and enjoy working in the field with our office staff when time allows,” she said. Mitchell said her father is retired and able to tend to the farm during the day while she is fulfilling her service roles in the com-
munity. In the afternoons when she returns home, she said she checks in with her dad to see what tasks need to be done, and then she works on completing those chores each day. “Harvesting hay, spray-
ing, gardening, fencing and other tasks always require attention. The majority of the calves are born at our house,” she said. “I also do lots of canning and make pickles and jellies.” Mitchell said women play a major role in farming today -- from feeding cattle to harvesting hay to keeping books for the farm and more. “For years, women have been more of the secretaries, cooks and garden tenders for farms, but now women have gotten more involved in the dayto-day duties,” she said. “More women now own land and are making decisions for the farm. There are many positions that are traditionally filled by men, but now there are women who are beef cattle specialists, cropland specialists and soil scientists who offer quality service to landowners and farmers in our state.” Mitchell said she appreciates the opportunity to work in her home county and help local people. “I enjoy helping people -- from 4-H youth to se-
nior citizens,” she said. “I love living on a small farm and working with my family to make it a success. It’s been said you don’t have to have lots of money to be happy. I truly believe that, because I don’t have lots of money, but I get a thrill out of being of service to my family and my community.” Patrick Poindexter, Alcorn County Extension agent, has known Mitchell for 14 years and said she is a tremendous asset to the Alcorn County producers. “She’s heavily involved in several development projects, and she sits on the Extension Advisory Council, so she is present in our efforts,” he said. “She will help with absolutely anything.” Poindexter said Mitchell provides a positive example for future farmers. “I think there’s quite a few next-generation farmers who look up to her as a type of role model in our community,” he said. “Everyone in the community knows she’s a hard worker and a very good person to emulate.”
Panel backs plan for access to digital accounts of deceased BY ANNE FLAHERTY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — You’ve probably decided who gets the house or that family heirloom up in the attic when you die. But what about your email account and all those photos stored online? Grieving relatives might want access for sentimental reasons, or to settle financial issues. But do you want your mom reading your exchanges on an online dating profile or a spouse going through every email? The Uniform Law Commission, whose members are appointed by state governments to help standardize state laws, on Wednesday endorsed a plan that would give loved ones access to — but not control of — the deceased’s digital accounts, unless specified otherwise in a will. To become law in a state, the legislation would have to be adopted by the legislature. If it
did, a person’s online life could become as much a part of estate planning as deciding what to do with physical possessions. “This is something most people don’t think of until they are faced with it. They have no idea what is about to be lost,” said Karen Williams of Beaverton, Oregon, who sued Facebook for access to her 22-year-old son Loren’s account after he died in a 2005 motorcycle accident. The question of what to do with one’s “digital assets” is as big as America’s electronic footprint. A person’s online musings, photos and videos — such as a popular cooking blog or a gaming avatar that has acquired a certain status online — can be worth considerable value to an estate. Imagine the trove of digital files for someone of historical or popular note — say former President Bill Clinton or musician Bob Dylan — and what those files might
fetch on an auction block. “Our email accounts are our filing cabinets these days,” said Suzanne Brown Walsh, a Cummings & Lockwood attorney who chaired the drafting committee on the proposed legislation. But “if you need access to an email account, in most states you wouldn’t get it.” But privacy activists are skeptical of the proposal. Ginger McCall, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, said a judge’s approval should be needed for access, to protect the privacy of both the owners of accounts and the people who communicate with them. “The digital world is a different world” from offline, McCall said. “No one would keep 10 years of every communication they ever had with dozens or even hundreds of other people under their bed.” Many people assume they can decide what hap-
pens by sharing certain passwords with a trusted family member, or even making those passwords part of their will. But in addition to potentially exposing passwords when a will becomes public record, anti-hacking laws and most companies’ “terms of service” agreements prohibit anyone from accessing an account that isn’t theirs. That means loved ones technically are prohibited from logging onto a dead person’s account. Several tech providers have come up with their own solutions. Facebook, for example, will “memorialize” accounts by allowing already confirmed friends to continue to view photos and old posts. Google, which runs Gmail, YouTube and Picasa Web Albums, offers its own version: If people don’t log on after a while, their accounts can be deleted or shared with a designated person. Yahoo users agree when signing up
that their accounts expire when they do. But the courts aren’t convinced that a company supplying the technology should get to decide what happens to a person’s digital assets. In 2005, a Michigan probate judge ordered Yahoo to hand over the emails of a Marine killed in Iraq after his parents argued that their son would have wanted to share them. Likewise, a court eventually granted Williams, the Oregon mother, access to her son’s Facebook account, although she says the communications appeared to be redacted. Enter the Uniform Law Commission. According to the proposal, the personal representative of the deceased, such as the executor of a will, would get access to — but not control of — a person’s digital files so long as the deceased didn’t prohibit it in the will. The law would trump access rules outlined by a company’s
terms of service agreement, although the representative would still have to abide by other rules including copyright laws. That means, for example, a widow could read her deceased husband’s emails but couldn’t send emails from that account. And a person could access music or video downloads but not copy the files if doing so violated licensing agreements. Williams said she supports letting people decide in their wills whether accounts should be kept from family members. “I could understand where some people don’t want to share everything,” she said in a phone interview this week. “But to us, losing him (our son) unexpectedly, anything he touched became so valuable to us.” And “if we were still in the era of keeping a shoebox full of letters, that would have been part of the estate, and we wouldn’t have thought anything of it.”
Man starts fire in home using makeshift blowtorch to kill spider BY PHUONG LE Associated Press
SEATTLE — A man who used a can of spray paint and a lighter as a makeshift blowtorch to kill a spider in his laundry room started a blaze that caused $60,000 worth of damage, Seattle fire officials said Wednesday. The man and his moth-
er got out of the house, and no injuries were reported in the fire that broke out in the West Seattle home Tuesday night, said Kyle Moore, a spokesman for the Seattle Fire Department. Moore said the man used the spray paint and lighter as “a self-made blowtorch to kill a spider
in the laundry room” of a rental house. “I don’t want to encourage people to do this, but that’s what he did,” Moore said Wednesday. “The spider tried to get into the wall. He sprayed flames on the wall, lit the wall on fire, and that extended up to the ceiling.” Fire crews were called

to the home in the home just south of Seattle just before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. Firefighters initially fought the fire from outside after someone reported hearing ammunition go off in the house. Crews eventually went inside the house after confirming from tenants that there was no ammunition inside. The man initially tried
to put water on the fire, but he wasn’t able to put it out and the blaze quickly spread into the attic. On Wednesday, portions of the house were boarded up with plywood, and a blue tarp covered part of the roof. The owners of the house declined to comment. “There are safer, more effective ways to kill a spi-
der than using fire,” Moore said. “Fire is not the method to use to kill a spider.” The Red Cross is providing temporary shelter for the home’s two residents, whom authorities have not identified. As for the spider, Moore said: “I’m pretty sure the spider did not survive this fire. The whole wall went.”

Colorful combination Decorators help homeowners find the right fit BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian
A colorful combination. Nicole Harville and Michelle Pratt each bring a special touch when it comes to design. The pair have been like long lost sisters since a chance meeting around one year ago in downtown Corinth. “All of our ideas just click together,” said Harville, owner of Out the Door, Interiors. “Each of us has an unique style.” Platt, a designer and decorator of her own business Crafty DIY Girl, and Harville know what to do when it comes to decorating a home. Harville is the buyer and reseller of Out the Door while Platt is a consultant for the business. “We find special pieces for each individual home,” said Platt. “Everyone has their own style,” added Harville, the mother of three. “Michelle and I don’t have the same style, but I can start a piece and she will be able to finish it.” When one walks into Out the Door, their eyes are going to be drawn to many colorful areas in the shop. Multi-colored doors, tables and benches along with painted fireplaces are eye-catching. “I want customers to walk in and say wow,” said Harville, an Alcorn Central High School and University of North Alabama graduate. A vast selection of designer door knobs is the bread and butter of the business, according to Harville. Out the Door is also packed with other one of a kind furniture. “It’s fun and unique furniture,” said the owner of what can be found in the shop. “We are not a furniture store and we do not solely carry refurbished pieces … it’s market furniture at a wholesale price with only about 15 percent of it being refurbished.” Both Platt and Harville aren’t afraid of risk when it comes to finding just
the right look. “I love pieces which make a statement,” said Platt, originally from Rhode Island. “People today are afraid to paint things … there is nothing better than taking a family heirloom and making it brighter.” Painting is something both love to do. “If you don’t like it after you paint it, paint it again,” said Harville. “The only time I wouldn’t do it is if it’s an expensive antique piece and I like the way it looks, otherwise there is nothing wrong with painting over a piece numerous times.” According to Platt, she got an early start in the business world. “I started painting rocks and selling them as paper weights when I was five,” she said with a smile. “I just remember being crafty, crafty, crafty as a child.” The designer, married to Rienzi Elementary School Principal Stan Platt and the mother of two, also used to enjoy using power tools in her work. The DIY in her business name stands for Do It Yourself – something she is more than capable of doing. “I don’t get jewelry for Christmas, I get tools,” said Platt with a laugh. Rheumatoid arthritis and two bulging discs in her lower back and spine have slowed Platt down over the years. “My brain still functions quite well and I’m filled with lots of decorative inspiration to go around,” she said. “My consultation business is still alive and thriving.” What does a house need? “Every home needs a conversation piece,” said Harville. “Everyone needs a piece they love … a piece with a story.” “You should surround yourself with loveliness,” added Platt. “I want people to feel comfortable … comfortable to me is a cozy couch with a place to put your feet up.”
Colorful pieces like this purple accent table and lamp can be found at “Out the Door, Interiors.”

are going through their minds. “This is fun and relaxing for us,” said Harville.
All kinds of colorful doors for each room are made at the business.
“We are here to help homeowners find the right fit and save them money at the same time.” Out the Door, Interiors is located at 907 U.S. Highway 45 South.

Chose wedding tunes with care Music often plays an important role on festive occasions, and wedding days are no exception. The right music can make a wedding day that much more meaningful, while the wrong music can make a couple’s big event memorable for all the wrong reasons. Though music selection might seem like one of the easier decisions couples must make, those about to tie the knot typically must make a host of music-related decisions regarding their wedding day, including whether to choose a live band or a deejay to perform at their wedding receptions. While the reception is when music might be most on display, couples planning their weddings must think beyond the reception when setting the musical tones for their weddings.
Ceremony When choosing music for the ceremony, couples should first consider the venue where they are tying the knot. Some, such as houses of
worship, may have rules pertaining to what can and cannot be played inside the venue. Classical, hymnal or processional music often makes the best fit when weddings are taking place in more formal venues. Outdoor weddings tend to give couples more leeway. But in general couples don’t want to choose any music that’s too loud or over-the-top for their ceremonies. Keep in mind that while the music played during the ceremony can set the tone for the day, this music can vary significantly from the music played during the reception. A favorite performer may not be appropriate during the ceremony, but that doesn’t mean the couple can’t dance to that artist’s music during the reception. Live musicians can add a more elegant feel to the ceremony, but such performers also can be costly.
Reception Many couples prefer deejays to live bands for
their wedding receptions. Deejays can play favorite songs as couples and their guests know them, while bands can only play their own renditions of those songs. Another thing to consider when choosing between a deejay or live band for the reception is the venue itself. Some venues are smaller and unable to accommodate a full band, while others may not have ideal acoustics, making it difficult for a live band to sound as good as they might in a more musicfriendly environment. The formality of the event should also come into consideration when choosing between a live band or a deejay for the reception. Deejays spinning the latest top 40 hits may stick out like sore thumbs at especially formal weddings, while a classical orchestra likely won’t fit into the laid back theme of a beach or destination wedding. Couples tying the knot outdoors may need to consider equipment when choosing bands or deejays to play their wed-
dings. For example, some venues do not provide equipment, such as microphones and speaker systems, to couples for their ceremonies. Deejays or bands who will loan and set up the necessary sound equipment for outdoor ceremonies merit extra consideration. When discussing music to be played during the reception, couples must consider their own musical tastes as well as those of their guests. A wide range of popular music tends to go best at wedding receptions, as guests are more likely to dance to songs they recognize. Avoid any music that has the potential to offend guests, opting for lighter, happier tunes. Whether hiring a band or deejay, couples should make a list of no-play songs or artists and make sure such lists are included in their contracts. Music plays an important role on couples’ wedding days. Though choosing music for the ceremony and the reception is often fun, couples must take such decisions seriously.
July, August are hot months for weddings For decades the month of June held firm as the most popular month for weddings. But statistics now indicate that there may be shifting preferences in the time of the year for
marriages. According to The National Center for Health Statistics, July and August are now the most popular months for tying the knot in the United States. September and Oc-
tober have also gained momentum as premier months. Explanations for this shift vary, but it may have something to do with changing weather patterns and warmer
weather now arriving later in the season than in the past. Also, getting married later in the year may make it easier for couples to secure their first choice of wedding venues.

14,000 draft notices sent to men born in 1800s BY MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press
No, the United States isn’t trying to build a military force of centenarians. It just seems that way after the Selective Service System mistakenly sent notices to more than 14,000 Pennsylvania men born between 1893 and 1897, ordering them to register for the nation’s military draft and warning that failure to do so is “punishable by a fine and imprisonment.”
The agency realized the error when it began receiving calls from bewildered relatives last week. Chuck Huey, 73, of Kingston, said he got a notice addressed to his late grandfather Bert Huey, a World War I veteran who was born in 1894 and died in 1995 at age 100. “I said, ‘Geez, what the hell is this about?’ It said he was subject to heavy fines and imprisonment if he didn’t sign up for the draft board,” he said. “We were just totally dumb-
founded.” Huey said he tried calling the Selective Service but couldn’t get a live person on the line. That frustrated him even more because he wanted to make sure the agency knew there had been a mistake. “You just never know. You don’t want to mess around with the federal government,” he said. The glitch, it turns out, originated with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation during a transfer of nearly
400,000 records to the Selective Service. A clerk working with the state’s database failed to select the century, producing records for males born between 1993 and 1997 — and for those born a century earlier, PennDOT spokeswoman Jan McKnight said Thursday. “We made a mistake, a quite serious selection error,” McNight said. The Selective Service didn’t initially catch it because the state used a two-digit code to indicate
year of birth, spokesman Pat Schuback said. The federal agency identified 27,218 records of men born in the 1800s, began mailing notices to them on June 30, and began receiving calls from family members on July 3. By that time, it had sent 14,250 notices in error. “It’s never happened before,” Schuback said. The men are almost certainly all dead, given that the youngest would be turning 117 this year. Families of those men
who received the notices can simply ignore them, he said. Their files will be deactivated and they shouldn’t receive additional communications from the Selective Service.

Review: Braff’s fan-funded film doesn’t pay off BY JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer
When Zach Braff took to Kickstarter to fund his new movie, “Wish I Was Here,” he explained to fans where their money would go: It would ensure his creative control, allow him to cast the actors he wanted, and enable him to shoot in Los Angeles, rather than someplace cheaper. We can argue about whether these were worthy reasons to ask for $2 million (in fact, fans ultimately gave Braff more than $3 million, after which he also got traditional financing.) Certainly there was controversy — maybe not deserved — over whether a wealthy actor should be seeking money on Kickstarter. (If people are willing to pay, isn’t it up to them?) But here’s a more urgent question: Why didn’t Braff use this money to make a better film? For all the brouha-
ha, “Wish I Was Here,” which Braff directed, stars in and wrote (along with brother Adam), is so much less interesting than the circumstances of its making — not terrible, just frustratingly mediocre, and also corny, overly broad, meandering, not so funny where it intends to be, and not so sad where it intends to be, either. And that’s a shame, because it’s taken Braff 10 years to get a follow-up to his debut, “Garden State,” into theaters. Fans of that film — presumably, they’re the ones who ponied up cash — deserved something better. Braff plays Aidan Bloom, a struggling actor in LA in his mid-30s, who’s far luckier in the family department than he deserves: He has two nice kids and a gorgeous, generous wife, Sarah (a very solid Kate Hudson, who also deserved a better film.)

For all the brouhaha, “Wish I Was Here” ... is so much less interesting than the circumstances of its making — not terrible, just frustratingly mediocre, and also corny, overly broad, meandering, not so funny where it intends to be, and not so sad where it intends to be, either. Because Braff is cute and charming, we are, apparently, supposed to find Aidan cute and charming — which he might have been, 10 years younger. But there’s little cute or charming about the way he stubbornly eschews a decent career to pursue his “dream” — auditioning for bit parts in sci-fi movies that he doesn’t even get. Naturally, he can’t afford his kids’ private school tuitions — that’s taken care of by his dad,
Gabe (Mandy Patinkin, always a welcome presence.) Implausibly, though Aidan and Sarah are totally non-observant Jews, the kids (nicely played by Joey King and Pierce Gagnon) go to what looks like a full-fledged Orthodox yeshiva, run by a rabbi with a long, flowing white beard (Grandpa pays, so he chooses the school.) One day, Gabe can no longer pay the tuition; his cancer has returned, and he’s getting experimental
(Likewise, when Aidan’s daughter mentions she doesn’t know how to swim, a big flashing sign goes off, saying: Wait For Touching Swim Scene With Dad.) The movie is filled with jokes that don’t seem particularly thought out. Maybe you’ll find this hilarious: at one point, one of the kids confuses alQaeda with weatherman Al Roker. (Well?) The indie soundtrack, like that of “Garden State,” plays a big role; the title song, “Wish I Was Here,” is by Cat Power and Coldplay. It’s a very nice tune. Sitting in the theater for two hours, though, you may wish you were “Anywhere But Here.” ■■■
“Wish I Was Here” is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America “for language and some sexual content.” Running time: 120 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.
For Archie fans, character’s death makes a big impact BY DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer
Crossword
treatment. Sarah’s deadend job, inputting data at the water authority, can’t pay the bills either. So Aidan decides he’ll home school the kids. The first day ends with him ducttaping them to chairs in front of the TV. But it turns out Aidan’s actually more responsible than his brother, Noah (Josh Gad), a bitter, unemployed misanthrope hasn’t spoken to his father in ages. Told Dad is dying, he declines Aidan’s plea to go visit. He even refuses to take care of the dog, Kugel (yes, kugel — one of many, many broad Jewish jokes.) There’s also an extraneous subplot in which Sarah’s office mate harasses her with inappropriate sex talk. When Sarah complains, her boss tells her to lighten up. The purpose of this scenario is telegraphed early: It sets up a chance for Aidan to show strength later by standing up for his wife.
LOS ANGELES — For the fans of Archie Andrews, his impending death marks a fitting end for the famous comic book do-gooder. The 73-year-old redheaded character died in Wednesday’s installment of “Life with Archie” when he intervenes in an assassination attempt on senator Kevin Keller, Archie Comics’ first openly gay character who is pushing for more gun control in Riverdale. Archie’s death — but not the circumstances — was first announced in April and will mark the conclusion of the series that focuses on grown-up renditions of Archie and his pals. “Not to be too grandiose, but this demise is a fitting and tonally perfect tribute to a character who has always put his friends first,” said Chris Cummins, who writes about comic culture for DenOfGeek.us. “This is a publicity stunt for sure, but one with heart that will have permanent ramifications.” Archie’s final moments will be detailed in “Life with Archie” No. 36, while issue No. 37 will jump forward a year and focus on Riverdale honoring the legacy of their frecklefaced pal, who first appeared in comics in 1941 and went on to become a colorful icon of Americana and wholesomeness. Other incarnations of Archie will continue to live on in other Archie Comics series. “We wanted to not only
grab people’s attention but really show the heroic nature of the character,” said Archie Comics publishers and co-CEO Jon Goldwater. “He’s willing to literally die to save his friend, Kevin. Archie would have died to save any of his friends. I think Archie would’ve even died to save a stranger.” In recent years, deaths of high-profile comic book characters like Peter “Spider-Man” Parker and Steve “Captain America” Rogers have made headlines and garnered intense reaction from fans. Goldwater notes Archie’s passing goes beyond that with a lesson about gun violence and a declaration of diversity in the new age of Archie Comics. “Archie is not a superhero like all the rest of the comic book characters,” said Goldwater. “He’s human. He’s a person. When you wound him, he bleeds. He knows that. If anything, I think his death is more impactful because of that. We hope by showing how something so violent can happen to Archie, that we can — in some way — learn from him.” Kevin first joined Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones and Reggie Mantle in Archie Comics in 2010. He later appeared in his own solo title. In “Life with Archie,” he’s a married military veteran and newly elected senator who’s pushing for the gun control after his husband was involved in a shooting. While the original comic book series star-
ring Archie began as an innocent look at a group of pals at Riverdale High School, Archie Comics has in recent years strived to appeal to modern sensibilities with “Life with Archie,” a more socially relevant spin-off aimed at longtime adult Archie fans. Over the past four years, “Life with Archie” plots have involved Kevin’s marriage, the death of longtime teacher Ms. Grundy and Archie’s love interest, Cheryl Blossom, tackling breast cancer and affordable health care. Archie Comics similarly launched a horror spin-off series last year called “Afterlife with Archie” that envisions a zombie outbreak coming to Riverdale and recently enlisted “Girls” creator and star Lena Dunham to write a four-part Archie story set for release next year that chronicles the production of a reality TV show in Riverdale. Andrew Wheeler, who writes about the comic book industry at ComicsAlliance.com, praised the way that Archie will be killed off. He wrote on Monday that “Archie’s sacrifice isn’t just a moment of heroism; it offers an unambiguous condemnation of America’s lax gun laws” and said that it’s “not surprising to see Archie Comics tackling such a serious issue” because the publisher “doesn’t shy away from risky ideas.” Who shot Archie? Goldwater isn’t spoiling the killer, only teasing it’s a stalker who wanted to take Kevin down.
Lady A moving quickly in life, studio BY KRISTIN M. HALL Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The title for Lady Antebellum’s forthcoming new album, “747,” refers to a hook in the title song about how a commercial jetliner can’t go fast enough for a man trying to reclaim his love. It’s also a fitting analogy for the country trio’s own super-sonic momentum over the last year. Their last album was released just 14 months ago, a couple months before singer Hillary Scott gave birth to her daughter, Eisele. A deluxe version of the album came out November, and then they started writing new music while out on tour. Now, it just gets more complex as “747” is due out Sept. 30 — about the same time singer-guitar-
ist Dave Haywood is expecting his first child. “We are just so excited for the opportunity to just continue to build our career,” Scott said as she was heading into the studio to put the finishing touches on the record with Haywood and singer Charles Kelley. “And then also in our personal lives... our families are growing. That’s the energy level we are in, in both personal and career.” For a fresh take and new ears, they turned to Taylor Swift producer Nathan Chapman. Scott said the band got famous for their softer, romantic songs like the crossover Grammy Award-winning ballad “Need You Now” and the multiplatinum “Just A Kiss.” But seeing the fans’ reactions to their last two up-tempo singles,
“Compass” and “Bartender,” both produced by Chapman, convinced them of the direction they needed to go. “I know that once we released ‘Compass’ as a single, the energy that song brought to our career, to our live show, it was really evident that was something we needed more of,” Scott said. The band co-wrote about half of the 11-song album by taking songwriters out on the road with them, no easy feat for Scott, who also took her baby girl out on tour. And with another band baby on the way, Lady Antebellum just keeps picking up speed along the way. “When people put their ear buds in to listen, we want it to come at you,” Scott said. “We want you to feel that energy.”
