Rhodes on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of a hearing that is scheduled for Sept. 17. “It is important to recall that Mr. Rhodes has not been convicted of any crime and remains innocent until proven guilty,” said Davis. “However, because the charge against him relates to the state auditor’s still-ongoing investigation, the board believed it was in the best interests of all concerned to take this action at this time. The board will continue to monitor events as they transpire and wishes Mr. Rhodes and his family well during this

difficult time.” The longtime purchase clerk posted bond after last week’s arrest and was present for Monday’s meeting of the board as normal. The clerk was arrested on a warrant signed by Special Agent Bo Howard of the Mississippi State Auditor’s Office. During the course of the investigation of a complaint received last December against 2nd District Supervisor Dal Nelms, Howard worked out of the supervisors’ office on Fulton Drive. After seizing Nelms’ county-issued phone on July 3, Howard discovered a text

message conversation between Nelms and Rhodes in which Rhodes revealed that he had been sneaking into the meeting room and using his phone to take photos of the contents of the investigator’s notebooks, according to an affidavit by Howard. The affidavit further states that Rhodes sent the photos to Nelms by text message. Howard alleges that Rhodes is involved in a conspiracy to embezzle and/or convert money, equipment and property from Alcorn County with Nelms and several Alcorn County vendors.

Financing plans for Crossroads park expansion released BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The financing plan for the expansion of Crossroads Regional Park is moving forward. The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Monday passed a resolution of intent to proceed with a bond sale of up to $5.75 million to cover the expansion cost. A public hearing on the bond will coincide with the board’s Aug. 18 meeting. Sam Keyes of bond counsel Butler Snow said $5.75 million is likely more than will be needed for the project, but the figure will provide a bit of a cushion. If there is no opposition, the county could have funds in hand for the project within a few months. Keyes said the plan is to combine the new bond amount with the restructuring of the outstanding balance on the arena bonds for new financing terms not to exceed 20 years. It can all take place within the parameters of the 2 percent tourism tax without requiring any new tax, he said. Part of that tax currently goes to pay the arena debt. Plans for the park expansion, designed by Cook Coggin Engineers, include: ■ Widening of Clark Street ■ Five new ball fields along Droke Road on the east side of Please see PARK | 2

Corinth High School names new principal BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

When students return to class on Aug. 7 at Corinth High School they’ll be greeted by a new face. Louisiana native Dane Aube officially become a Corinth Warrior on July 14 when he took over the seat as CHS principal, a position previously held by Russ Elam. “Everyone has been exceptionally nice during my first week,” said Aube. “I’m so proud to be here in Corinth. I love this town and the people in the community have been very welcoming.” Aube has spent the last six years at Hancock Middle School near Bay St. Louis where he served as principal to more than 1,100 sixth, seventh and eighth graders.

“When I first got the call, I started doing research on CHS and I got really excited,” said the education veteran. “Corinth has one of the finest schools in the state.” Originally from Port Sulphur, Louisiana, Aube said he first heard about the job opening when he received a phone call last month from Corinth School District Superintendent Lee Childress. “It’s rare to find an area that has so much support for the public school system,” Aube added. “CHS has great community support, school board support and 100 percent focus on academic programs ... that combination isn’t often seen in public schools.” Childress said he’s happy to have

JACKSON — Prosecutorial errors resulted in a Montgomery County jury convicting Curtis Giovanni Flowers a fourth time in the deaths of four workers at a Winona furniture story 18 years ago, defense attorneys argued Monday to the Mississippi Supreme Court. In six trials, Flowers has been convicted four times for the 1996 slayings of four workers at a Winona furniture store. Two trials in Montgomery County ended with hung juries. Three trials ended in convictions, but the high court reversed them. The fourth conviction came in 2010. Flowers was sentenced to death. Flowers, now 44, was convicted of capital murder for the July 16, 1996, fatal shootings of Tardy Furniture store owner Bertha Tardy, 59; employees Carmen Rigby, 45; Robert Golden, 42; and Derrick “BoBo” Stewart, 16. All had been shot in the head. Sheri Lynn Johnson, a Cornell University law professor and assistant director of the Cornell Death Penalty Project, told the court there were holes in the

prosecutors’ case against Flowers and they chose to plug those holes with misstatements to the jury about witness identification, Flowers’ actions on the day of the slayings and misrepresentations about other evidence. Special Assistant Attorney General Melanie Thomas said there is testimony from witnesses who put Flowers near the murder weapon, near the crime scene, with the missing money, with gunpowder on his hand, and with a reason to kill the employees of Tardy Furniture. And “factually we can say he had a beef with the store, he had problems with the store,” Thomas said. Thomas said court records and testimony show Flowers was a disgruntled employee who’d been fired from his job at the store. She said Flowers didn’t receive his last paycheck because the owner kept it as payment for golf cart batteries she believed he had damaged. Johnson said there was no evidence to support allegations that Flowers was angry with Bertha Tardy. “No one ever said he was mad,” Johnson said.

Graceland Too tours set for Aug. 12 The Associated Press

Today is Tuesday, July 22, the 203rd day of 2014. There are 162 days left in the year.

Todayâ€™s Highlight in History: On July 22, 1934, bank robber John Dillinger was shot to death by federal agents outside Chicagoâ€™s Biograph Theater, where he had just seen the Clark Gable movie â€œManhattan Melodrama.â€?

On this date: In 1587, an English colony fated to vanish under mysterious circumstances was established on Roanoke Island off North Carolina. In 1893, Wellesley College professor Katharine Lee Bates visited the summit of Pikes Peak, where she was inspired to write the original version of her poem â€œAmerica the Beautiful.â€? In 1916, a bomb went off during a Preparedness Day parade in San Francisco, killing 10 people. In 1933, American aviator Wiley Post completed the first solo flight around the world as he returned to New Yorkâ€™s Floyd Bennett Field after traveling for 7 days, 18 and 3/4 hours.

HOLLY SPRINGS â€” The Holly Springs mansion that became a popular Elvis Presley museum will reopen to the public during Elvis Presley week with a memorial for owner Paul MacLeod. MacLeod was found dead Thursday on his front porch. He was 71. MacLeodâ€™s family, friends and lifetime members will lead tours of Graceland Too on Aug. 12 to raise money for MacLeodâ€™s funeral and estate expenses, attorney Phillip K. Knecht and the city of Holly Springs said in a news release. The day will end with a midnight candlelight vigil. MacLeodâ€™s funeral cannot be scheduled yet.

A backlog at the state medical examinerâ€™s office could hold up his autopsy for months, Coroner James Anderson said Sunday. â€œMight begin with a month to six months,â€? he said. The officeâ€™s three pathologists handle autopsies from much of Mississippi. â€œThe docs told me theyâ€™re not putting a rush on anything, regardless of how important or breaking it is,â€? Anderson said. MacLeodâ€™s family wants him cremated but he apparently wanted an elaborate Elvis-themed burial, Knecht wrote in an email to The Associated Press. He said the Aug. 12 fundraiser may start with

a â€œlow-key, religious ceremonyâ€? officiated by the Rev. Bruce McMillan, an Episcopal priest. â€œPaul wasnâ€™t very religious but Bruce was a good friend,â€? Knecht wrote. He planned to spend part of Sunday searching for a will in the antebellum mansion between Graceland and Elvisâ€™ birthplace in Tupelo. â€œA lot of people have various documents but weâ€™re not sure any of those would hold up as a will under Mississippi law,â€? Knecht told The Clarion-Ledger. If he cannot find a legal will, Knecht said, the estate would be pay any outstanding bills, then be divided among MacLeodâ€™s son and two

â€œGraceland Too is honored and touched by the outpouring of sympathy for Paul, and the growing collection of soda cans at the doorsteps of Graceland Too,â€? the announcement of the Aug. 12 fundraiser said. â€œWe encourage Paulâ€™s fans to continue to stop by and leave these cans in his memory.â€? Knecht said he had no idea what might be the most valuable artifact in the collection. â€œHalf the world thinks there are millions of dollars in there, the other half thinks there is nothing of value at all. Of course, the Paul McLeod â€˜stuffâ€™ (decades of meticulous Elvis research, videos, etc.) would be priceless to his fans,â€? he wrote.

daughters. â€œWe didnâ€™t even know they existed until this week,â€? Taylor said. He wrote that debts begin with a $20,000 lien on the house. â€œWe hope to pay it off soon, with donated money, to avoid having to sell property,â€? Knecht said. The museum, its walls covered floor-to-ceiling with a mishmash of photos, records, figurines, cardboard cutouts, clocks and other random kitsch featuring Elvis, is not affiliated with Graceland or the Presley estate. People could arrive at any hour, pay $5 and get a tour from the hyper-caffeinated MacLeod, who said in 2009 that he drank 24 cans of Coca-Cola a day.

Public hearing set on welfare drug-testing law The Associated Press

JACKSON â€” The Mississippi Department of Human Services is holding a public hearing Tuesday to gather comments about a new welfare drug-testing law. The state law was supposed take effect July 1 but was delayed after advocacy groups chided the agency for not holding a forum about how the measure might affect the poor, particularly the children of those whose assistance might be cut. Such a public hearing is required by the state administrative procedures act. The drug-testing law says applicants for Tem-

porary Assistance for Needy Families will have to answer a questionnaire. If the answers show the possibility of substance abuse, the person must take a drug test. Those testing positive would have to undergo treatment to receive cash assistance. Then, if the person tests positive for drugs after receiving treatment, the assistance would end. â€œThe TANF program is a safety net for families in need, and adding this screening process will aid adults who are trapped in a dependency lifestyle so they can better provide for their children,â€? Republican Gov.

Oxford will issue laptops to students

Phil Bryant said when he signed House Bill 49 in March. â€œThis measure will help make a positive difference for families impacted by substance abuse.â€? Beth Orlansky, advocacy director for the Mississippi Center for Justice, said in a statement Monday that say the law could punish entire families in a state with the highest poverty rate in the nation. â€œIf H.B. 49 goes into full effect, children will

go hungry because of the mistakes of adults,â€? Orlansky said. â€œThis is completely unacceptable. Our leaders must take notice and change this law.â€? The state Department of Human Services website shows 4,347 adults and 12,914 children received TANF benefits in May, the most recent month available. The average monthly payment was $67.94 for an individual $139.65 for a family, although the family

OXFORD â€” The Oxford School District is issuing laptops to every high school and middle school student this fall. The district is requiring parents and students to attend a special computer orientation class before the start of the school year. Also, parents have to go online to register their children for school. The 2014-15 school year is the first year the One to One Initiative will be implemented. Superintendent Brian Harvey told The Oxford Eagle students use the MacBook Air laptop to complete their schoolwork. Harvey said the school district wants all students to be technologically savvy when they graduate. â€œNo matter where you look, technology is a part of everything that we do and giving that kind of access to students will

better prepare them for future,â€? Harvey said. â€œWe want to give our kids a head start.â€? Parents with students who will receive the laptops must pay a $75 technology fee that covers the studentâ€™s login I.D. and insurance on the device. This must be paid before the student can receive a laptop. Harvey said families with students who qualify for free and reduced meals will have an option to get a waiver for the fee. Parents are also required to attend a â€œMeet Your Macâ€? session with their students after they have paid the technology fee. This event will last two hours for high school students and parents and 90 minutes for middle school students and parents. The district is providing multiple computer orientation sessions to ensure all parents will be able to sign up for a time that is most convenient for their busy schedules.

size was not specified. The chief sponsor of the Mississippi bill that became law was House Public Health and Human Services Committee Chairman Sam Mims, R-McComb. He said the Mississippi plan is different from a Florida law that a federal judge declared unconstitutional because Florida made drug testing mandatory for all applicants without screening them with a questionnaire.

Police probe fatal stabbing Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA â€” Philadelphia police say a 33-year-old man has been charged murder in the stabbing death of another man. Police Chief Grant Myers tells WTOK TV the stabbing happened around 11 p.m. Saturday. Myers says it appears a domestic dispute led 33year old Demetric Gray

to stab 40-year old Zuave Trice multiple times. He says Trice died at the scene. Myers says Gray also stabbed a woman in the arm. She was taken to a Jackson hospital for treatment. Investigators have charged Gray with murder, as well as domestic violence and aggravated assault.

Corinth, Miss.

Letter to the editor Family member appreciates work of Tate Baptist Church I drove to Forrest Memorial Park to meet my niece from New Mexico on a recent Saturday. My husband passed away this past February and she didn’t get to come home because she had just had surgery. She told me the first place she wanted to go when she got here was the cemetery. I told her I would meet her down there. As I got close to the cemetery, I saw the street lined with cars and trucks. I thought they were having a funeral, but as I turned into the cemetery, I saw all these people out there mowing, weed-eating, hauling dirt to fill graves and cleaning up. I thought to myself, “What is going on? Who are these people?” I got out of my car and stood there amazed at how hard they were working. A lady walked over to me, soaking wet with sweat. I asked her what was going on and who the people were. She told me they were community volunteers from Tate Baptist Church and they had decided to come down and clean up the cemetery. I could not begin to thank her enough for caring enough to do this. This is something you just don’t see happening these days. Then I read in the newspaper where Tate Baptist Church members were completing projects for schools, city properties, firemen, policemen and other places in Corinth. I’m sure they appreciate everything you do for them. I just think it is wonderful we still have such caring people in our city. I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you for all you’ve done at Forrest Memorial Park and to thank you for choosing it as one of your projects. Your help was badly needed there. I drove back down there the next day and the cemetery looked better than I’ve seen it in a long time. On behalf of all family members and loved ones of all the people buried in Forrest Memorial Park, I just want to thank the great folks at Tate Baptist Church for caring and for being a very special group of people. May God bless each one of you. Stella Comer Corinth

Prayer for today Great God, may I begin this day bearing in mind that the things which I think and do are my life. I pray that thou wilt keep me from making great efforts for that which is valueless, and thus waste my life. May I watch my pride and indolence that they may not cause me to lose the best. Amen.

Neshoba Fair could shape Senate race JACKSON — Mississippi’s 2014 U.S. Senate race has been dominated by a bitter Republican primary that never seems to end. One of the state’s largest political gatherings, the Neshoba County Fair, could help shift the focus to a Democrat-versus-Republican narrative heading toward the Nov. 4 general election. The Democratic nominee for Senate, former U.S. Rep. Travis Childers, is scheduled to speak at the fair for 10 minutes on July 31. Sixterm Republican Sen. Thad Cochran is scheduled for 10 minutes just after Childers. Cochran’s campaign staff originally said he would speak at the fair only if the Senate isn’t working in Washington. They were firmer last week in saying he will show up at Neshoba. The fair is a longstanding annual tradition in the red clay hills of east central Mississippi. In addition to horse races and midway rides, it features two days of political speeches under a tin-roofed pavilion the size of a small church, complete with long wooden benches and sawdust underfoot.

The audience is frequently rowdy, always conservative and overwhelmingly Emily white. It can Wagster be a tough Pettus crowd for Democratic Capitol Dome candidates, who have been heckled by people holding signs with a local Democrat’s picture between cutout photos of folks like Hillary Clinton and Mississippi’s only black congressman, Rep. Bennie Thompson. There are no similar large-scale gatherings geared mostly toward black audiences that are considered must-do stops for Mississippi politicians. If there were, it would be interesting to compare candidates’ own speeches there to their speeches at Neshoba, to note how much they tailor their message to the people staring back at them. At Neshoba this year, expect Cochran to offer a fullthroated denunciation of the federal health overhaul law and a less-than-subtle warning that the nation

could suffer if Democrats keep control of the Senate with Nevada’s Harry Reid as majority leader. Expect Childers to sidestep any mention of Reid and instead focus on his own support for gun rights and opposition to abortion. Neshoba County is best known to the wider world as the place where, 50 years ago this summer, three civil rights workers were ambushed by Ku Klux Klansmen, shot to death and buried in an earthen dam. Michael Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman were killed on June 21, 1964. Their bodies were found 44 days later on Aug. 4, after an informant told the FBI where to dig. On June 21, 2005 — 41 years to the day after the slayings — a mixed-race jury in Neshoba County convicted Edgar Ray Killen of manslaughter for masterminding the crime. A judge sentenced the former preacher to 60 years in prison, 20 for each death. He remains in the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. In August 1980, Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan spoke at the

Neshoba County Fair and declared: “I believe in state’s rights; I believe in people doing as much as they can for themselves at the community level and at the private level.” (A transcript is here, courtesy of the Neshoba Democrat newspaper: http://bit.ly/1pgC3zj.) Critics pounced on Reagan’s mentioning “state’s rights,” a phrase often used by archconservatives to denounce federal involvement in school integration and voting-rights enforcement. In the broader historical context of Neshoba County, and considering that Cochran survived the Republican primary with significant help from black voters, it would be noteworthy to hear Cochran take a stand on an issue he has largely avoided discussing in depth so far — a bill, supported by many civil-rights groups, that would restore federal oversight of elections in Mississippi and a few other states with a history of racial discrimination. (Daily Corinthian columnist Emily Wagster Pettus is a writer for The Associated Press based in Jackson.)

When not meddling, government protects our privacy OXFORD — Want privacy? Get a typewriter. Came across an article last week saying that’s what higher-ups in Germany are considering in the wake of reports that America’s National Security Agency is a bit too frisky in its “monitoring” of internal German government communications. Patrick Sensburg, chair of the German parliament’s investigation into American spying, made the remark to reporters who, at first, thought he was joking. Sensburg insisted he was not. And, further, that manual typewriters are on the shopping list, not electric or electronic models. Russia, reportedly, stopped emailing and started typing its sensitive memos after whistleblower Edward Snowden’s explained how deep the NSA is able to dive into the Kremlin. Germany is following that lead. Seems a “Top Secret” manila envelope is more secure than the most secure, encrypted message sent into cyberspace. Of course, it’s not just governments that don’t enjoy having others all up in their personal lives. Privacy is important to Mississippians just as it is to others. But here’s the situation:

Meddling by the NSA here and elsewhere notwithstanding, never in the Charlie course of huMitchell man history have there Columnist been more laws to protect our personal information and never in the course of human history have there been more inducements to give it up. As an example of the federal protections, suppose a dental assistant walks into a waiting room full of patients and says, “Good morning, Mrs. Smith, are you ready for your cleaning?” The assistant, for those words, could be fined $5,000. The law is HIPPA — the Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act — and it imposes serious penalties on healthcare providers who disclose any medical information of any type about a patient or client. Hence, an assistant trained in HIPPA will ask, “Are you ready?” and will know better than disclose the purpose for the visit. An example of Mississippi protections made headlines last week when a panel of the state Supreme Court cor-

rectly applied a state public records law. Attorneys for senatorwannabe Chris McDaniel demanded county clerks allow them to inspect or copy poll books showing who voted in McDaniel’s primary challenge to Sen. That Cochran. The names of voters are public record, but as the law and the Supreme Court said, other information — birthdays, Social Security numbers, drivers license numbers — are private. McDaniel’s troops can have the names, but private information must be erased from the copies. As an example of the temptations, who wouldn’t share the interior measurements of their grandmothers’ belly buttons if it meant 3 cents off a gallon of gas? The genius of Kroger and other frequent shopper and discount cards is that people are enticed to provide information about themselves that, in turn, can result in the merchant catering its services to them as individuals. The tradeoff comes through fairly sophisticated data-mining that leads to incredibly personalized results. Does it bother me that Kroger knows, within a couple of ounces, how much 2 percent milk is in my refrig-

erator or when the grandchildren are likely to visit? No. But if it did, then the solution would be to cancel the shopper card and, perhaps, go back to paying cash. Add to the abundance of consumer information being gathered about us tons of other facts distilled from our Internet searches. We give that up pretty freely, too. The searches plus what we “like” on Facebook, who we “follow” on twitter. It all goes into a digital mill and our profiles become wellestablished. The system’s not perfect. A student assigned to write a research paper on ants might be perceived as being interested in ants when he was just doing his homework. A person searching “cures for gout” may not have gout, merely know someone who does. But the depth of detailed personal information we voluntarily disclose is simply amazing. The only way to avoid this — as the Russians and perhaps the Germans are illustrating — is to go back in time. (Daily Corinthian columnist Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

NASA names site for Neil Armstrong NASA honored one of its most famous astronauts Monday by renaming a historic building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It now bears the name of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon when the Apollo 11 mission landed there 45 years ago. Armstrong, who died in 2012, was remembered at a ceremony as not only an astronaut, but also as an aerospace engineer, a test pilot and university professor. Michael Collins, who orbited the moon as Armstrong took his historic steps on July 20, 1969, said he had a â€œpowerful combination of curiosity and intelligenceâ€? along with an intuitive grasp of the complexities of flight machinery. â€œNeil probably liked hangars better than office buildings, but he was certainly good in either venue,â€? Collins said. NASA renamed the Operations and Checkout building, also known as the O&C, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been the last stop for astronauts before their flights since 1965. Â

$5 million bond set in homeless deaths ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Three Albuquerque teenagers accused of fatally beating two homeless men beyond recognition have been ordered held on $5 million bonds. Police say they are also investigating claims by one of the teens that the trio had

been terrorizing transients around Albuquerque for months. Prosecutors requested $1 million bond for each of the three during initial appearances Monday, but Metropolitan Court Judge Linda Rogers set bond at $5 million. She cited the gravity of the alleged crimes and the suspectsâ€™ potential to flee. The teens, aged 15, 16 and 18, have been charged with open counts of murder. Police said they expect the younger suspects to be charged as adults in the Friday night killings. Â

Boy injured fingers at Disney World ORLANDO, Fla. -- A report says a 12-yearold boy suffered cuts to four fingers on Walt Disney Worldâ€™s Pirates of the Caribbean ride, three months before a British tourist had a similar accident. The report made public Monday by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services shows the boy lacerated his fingers in mid-April. No other details were released. The British tourist lost two fingertips on his right hand almost two weeks ago while on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler says, as a precaution, guests at this time arenâ€™t being loaded in the back row where the two people were when they were injured. Â

than doubled as new episodes from one of its hit series helped the Internet video service surpass 50 million worldwide subscribers for the first time. The gains announced Monday include an additional 570,000 U.S. subscribers, slightly more than Netflixâ€™s management predicted. The quarter is typically the companyâ€™s slowest of the year, as people spend more time outdoors instead of watching video. Investors applauded the second-quarter results as Netflixâ€™s stock rose $4.65 to $456.60 in extended trading. The shares have surged by 23 percent this year while the Standard & Poorâ€™s 500 index has increased 7 percent. The second quarter featured one of Netflixâ€™s marquee attractions, â€œOrange Is The New Black,â€? which returned for its second season in early June. As with Netflixâ€™s other original series, all 13 episodes of â€œOrange Is The New Black,â€? were released simultaneously so subscribers could watch the story unfold on their own schedules.

The three cases previously reported occurred in travelers to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Symptoms include fever, muscle and joint pain and joint swelling. Deaths are rare, but officials say anyone with a compromised immune system is at a higher risk of complications from the infection. Â

eral charges of obstruction of justice and conspiracy in the first trial stemming from the twin bombings, which killed three and injured more than 260 near the marathon’s finish line in April 2013. His mother sobbed loudly and rocked in her seat. The jury found that Tazhayakov conspired with friend Dias Kadyrbayev to take from Tsarnaev’s room a backpack containing fireworks that had been emptied of their explosive powder. Pros-

A Payday For Sin There is, on the part of some, a type of thinking which excludes the possibility of punishment for the sins one commits. It is as if some believe that they can sin with impunity. While this rationale is extremely comforting, it has no support from the scriptures. In fact, the Bible teaches exactly the opposite. Paul has this to say concerning the matter: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth; that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7). The inspired writer assures us that we are not to deceive ourselves into believing that there is not a payday for sin. Paul says that we reap what we sow. If then we have sown the seeds of sin, we will also reap the perdition of sin. King David discovered this great truth in the long ago (II Samuel 11 through 18). After David had sinned with Bathsheba and after he had brought about the death of Uriah (Bathsheba’s husband) to cover up his sin, he took Bathsheba as his own wife. David perhaps thought, at least at that point in his life, that he could commit adultery and murder with full exemption from any penalty or payment for sin. He soon learned that such thinking is the grossest kind of folly. God sent Nathan the prophet unto David. Nathan told the king a story of two men in one city. One of the men was rich and the other, very poor. The rich man had vast ﬂocks and herds: the poor man had but one little ewe lamb. He viewed the house of the rich man. The rich man wished to feed the traveller, but instead of taking one of his many lambs, he went and stole the poor man’s only ewe lamb and killed it for the wayfarer. When David heard this story, his sense of equity was stirred, and he said unto Nathan: “As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity” (II Samuel 12: 5-6). Nathan responded to David’s pronouncement of penalty by saying, “Thou art the man” (II Samuel 12:7). David, who had been beside himself for so long, was now awakened to the fact that he was the rich man who had many wives and yet who had entered into a poor man’s house and stolen the only wife the poor man had. David repented of his sin (Psalms 51), and the Lord put away his sin so that he would not die. That putting away, however, did not set aside the immutable law of God that we reap what we sow. David had sown grievous sin, and now the payday had come. Nathan told David that the sword would never depart from his house. Truly David learned that there is a payday for sin when news came to him that Absalom, the son he loved so dearly, had been killed. David cried, “O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!” (II Samuel 18:33) We would prosper if we could be convinced that, even though sin promises great things, it can only bring heartache and tragedy to all our lives. Truly, there is no such thing as sinning with impunity.

ecutors said the explosive powder could have been used to make bombs. The backpack and fireworks were later recovered from a landfill. Prosecutors and defense lawyers both told the jury it was Kadyrbayev who actually threw the items away, but prosecutors said Tazhayakov agreed with the plan and was an active participant. Juror Daniel Antonino, 49, said the panel heavily debated the charges but in the end believed Tazhayakov had impeded the investigation. “They took materials from that room that they never should have touched, and that’s what he is going to pay the price for,” Antonino said. Tazhayakov faces a maximum 20-year prison sentence for obstruction and a five-year maximum for conspiracy at sentencing.

Perry sending National Guard troops to border The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Rick Perry said Monday he is deploying up to 1,000 National Guard troops over the next month to the TexasMexico border to combat criminals that Republican state leaders say are exploiting a surge of children and families entering the U.S. illegally. Perry, a vocal critic of the White House’s response to the border crisis — and who is mulling a second presidential run in 2016 — said the state has a responsibility to act after “lip service” from the federal government. He rejected suggestions that Texas was militarizing local communities by putting National Guard troops on the ground or that crime data along the border

doesn’t justify additional resources. The deployment will cost Texas an estimated $12 million a month. Texas Adjutant General John Nichols said his troops would simply be “referring and deterring” immigrants and not detaining people — though Nichols said the National Guard could if asked. “We think they’ll come to us and say, ‘Please take us to a Border Patrol station,” Nichols said. More than 3,000 Border Patrol agents currently work in the region, and Perry has repeatedly asked Obama to send the National Guard to the border. Much of the area has been overwhelmed in recent months by tens of thousands of unaccompanied children illegally entering the U.S.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection didn’t respond to a request for comment Monday. As governor, Perry is commander in chief of Texas military forces unless those forces have already been mobilized by the White House. But if Perry deploys National Guard troops it is up to Texas to pay for them, while an order from Obama would mean Washington picks up the tab. “Gov. Perry has referred repeatedly to his desire to make a symbolic statement to the people of Central America that the border is closed,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. “And he thinks that the best way to do that is to send 1,000 National Guard troops to the border.”

Mutual fund favorites By that measure, the most popular stock is Visa. It represents 1 percent of the average fund but just 0.6 percent of its benchmark. The most popular sectors are consumer discretionary, health care and technology. The least popular are those that are less sensitive to the strength of the economy, including utilities and telecommunications. These historically steady sectors did well early this year but economic reports have continued to improve and investors are starting to take on more risk. Consider that employers have added more jobs in the last five-month period than any since 2006, and manufacturing growth has accelerated Mutual fund managers own these 10 since the winter. stocks in larger proportions than the stocks are represented in their fund’s benchmark indexes.

It’s time to go on offense. At least, that’s what mutual fund managers are doing. They’re tilting their portfolios toward companies that excel when the economy is improving, such as those that help travelers book vacations or sell other non-essential items. Managers are also moving away from safer stocks, which are steadier in turbulent markets but offer less gains during bull runs. Such are the findings of a Goldman Sachs review of 485 mutual funds with more than $1 trillion in assets. To judge a stock’s popularity, the bank measured how big a part it was of the average fund’s portfolio versus its benchmark.

Dear Annie: We live five hours from our daughter, “Barbara,” her husband, “Seth,” and their two kids. We visit them once a year. Seth completely ignores us. The last time we arrived, our daughter and grandchildren hugged us, but Seth sat with his back to us. He didn’t even say hello. When my husband went to talk to him, Seth walked out of the room. Each time we go there, he becomes a little worse. We send him birthday and Christmas gifts, and he never responds. We have no idea why he hates us. When he does talk to us, he mostly discusses his new hobby: shooting defenseless animals. He knows we are repulsed by this, yet he prattles on about how he plans to take his daughter with him on hunting trips. He seems to be a good father, although he is very condescending toward our daughter. Barbara claims that Seth is a terrific husband, and she loves being a stay-at-home mom. But she looks pale and thin and rarely smiles. We are worried about her. Maybe Barbara doesn’t want to ruin things for the kids, but honestly, we think she’s delusional. We love her, but don’t know how to change Seth’s attitude. Any ideas? — Sad Grandparents Dear Sad: The fact that Seth likes to hunt is his

Annie’s Mailbox business as long as he has the proper licenses. We don’t recommend you debate the issue, because you are unlikely to find common ground. We agree that he is rude, but unless Barbara can convince him to be more polite, it’s best to lower your expectations and ignore his behavior. The more pressing issue is Barbara’s health. Is she truly too pale and thin, or are you projecting? If you believe there is abuse, report it to the authorities. Meanwhile, please reach out to your daughter without denigrating her husband, which will make her defend him. Ask how she’s feeling. Talk to her often. Invite her to bring the kids to visit you, with or without Seth. See for yourself what’s really going on. Dear Annie: I can’t remember the last time my wife and I were intimate. She even refuses to snuggle in bed. It’s not about sex. She pushed me away so many times it put a knife through my heart. I final-

ly gave up. If I try to talk about it, she becomes angry and refuses to discuss it. She refuses counseling, too. We get along fine in other areas, but I guess that’s only a front. I tried counseling on my own and was told to decide whether to stay or move on. I have now found someone else. I talk to her online every day. We’ve hugged and kissed. I have fallen in love, and she says the same, but neither of us wants to destroy our families. Please tell all spouses, male or female, that sex doesn’t have to be the only part of intimacy. Show your spouse you love him or her. My heart is broken that I had to find someone else to fill that gap, but I have no intention of letting her go now. — No Name Dear No Name: We appreciate your honesty, although cheating is not a satisfactory solution. Would it help if you told your wife exactly what she is risking? If she won’t listen, show her this column. Explain that you will not ask for sex if she will simply show affection. (We realize this is not ideal, but it’s an improvement.) Women often don’t realize how much men need a physical touch to feel loved.
