Holly Baptist Church is hoping to make a monster of an impact. Renowned speaker Bob Reccord will be part of the church’s 2nd Annual Monster Garage Men’s Night Saturday at 6 p.m. Last year, former Clemson head football coach Tommy Bowden spoke to close to 300 men at the first event. The Monster Garage event all came about after men from Holly would get together for a time of Bible study. A desire to reach those unchurched rose within the group. “It all started with a small group of men getting together once a month,” said event cochairman Pat Barnes. Reccord, founder and president of Total Life Impact Ministries, has spoke to over 210,000 men the last six years, challenging them to live a life that matters. Currently, the executive director for the non-profit educational foundation Council for National Policy (CNP), the recognized author has authored nine books including Beneath the Surface, Forged by Fire,

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen may take another look at whether a hookah lounge will be allowed to operate in the city. With the recent establishment of a hookah lounge at JT’s Bar and Grill at 1012 Highway 72 East, a representative of the Mississippi Tobacco Free Coalition of Alcorn and Tippah Counties brought the issue before the board on Tuesday. Emily McGrath, representing the coalition, maintains that the use of a hookah is a violation of the city’s public smoking ban. Hookahs are water pipes used to smoke a product that is often flavored. It passes charcoalheated air through the smoking product and through a waterfilled chamber. The user inhales the water-filtered smoke through a tube and mouthpiece. “Any form of smoking is bad,” said McGrath. She said a number of cities are revisiting their smoking ordinances to add wording Please see COUNCIL | 2A

“The entire day will be filled with information and the kids always take something away from the trip.” BMAD has been making the annual trip to JSU a reality for youngsters for the past 10 years. “They get to see everything JSU involves,” said Keith. Corinth High School senior Chylencia Phelan will be making her third trip to Jackson thanks to BMAD. “You get to see all the school has to offer,” said the Corinth senior. “The whole college experience is seen in one day.” Phelan is especially looking forward

to the halftime performance when the Tiger tangle with the Prairie View A&M Panthers. “We missed the halftime show last year because of rain, so I am anxious to see it this time,” she said. The trip isn’t only open to local students. Keith said kids from Ripley, Tishomingo County and Blue Mountain will all be making the trek to Jackson. “The only charge they will have is $15 and that covers lunch, ticket to the game and a T-shirt,” said the BMAD member. “There will be no charge for the bus ride.”

Central’s Dakota Chase plays the character Eli, who is trying to save everyone in the desperate attempt to redeem himself. “He is struggling with the death of his sister because he thinks he played a part in killing her,” said Chase. “Later his sister shows up as an angel and convinces him to let the guilt go.” “Eli tries to pull the others through their problems,” added Williams. In the end, all of the teens must choose to stay trapped or fight their way through. Only one performance for the public will be staged. Tickets are $3 and can purchased in advance or at the door. Central’s drama will also be performed at Mississippi State University later this year as part of the Northeast Mississippi Drama Fest.

definitive statement on whether a hookah lounge is a violation of the smoking ban. “Our ordinance seems to have been tailored toward a tobacco product,” said City Attorney Wendell Trapp. Last October, JT’s

owner Alex Al-Quawwas came before the board on two occasions to make the mayor and aldermen aware of his plans. At the time, he said his hookah lounge would not be a violation of the city ordinance because he would not offer tobacco products for smoking. He also showed the board examples of the types of smoking products that would be offered. McGrath said the packaging had warning labels similar to those of tobacco products and noted that some had foreign-language text on the packaging, leaving some question as to the contents. “I would ask him to bring forth his products to show us what it is,” she said. Mayor Tommy Irwin said the board will study the materials presented by McGrath.

Today in history Today is Wednesday, Oct. 2, the 275th day of 2013. There are 90 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 2, 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court as the court opened its new term.

On this date: In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a serious stroke at the White House. In 1941, during World War II, German armies launched an all-out drive against Moscow. In 1950, the comic strip “Peanuts,” created by Charles M. Schulz, was syndicated to seven newspapers. In 1970, one of two chartered planes flying the Wichita State University football team to Utah crashed into a mountain near Silver Plume, Colo., killing 31 on board. In 1971, the music program “Soul Train” made its debut in national syndication. In 2001, NATO Secretary-General Lord Robertson said the United States had provided “clear and conclusive” evidence of Osama bin Laden’s involvement in the attacks on New York and Washington.

SHUTDOWN CONTINUED FROM 1A

parks and historic sites across the country. Callers looking for help from the government reached only voicemail. And federal employees were left to wonder when they would return to work. The first government shutdown in 17 years took hold Tuesday in ways large and small. About 800,000 federal employees were sent home — a number greater than the combined U.S. workforces of Target, General Motors, Exxon and Google. “After next week, if we’re not working, I’m going to have to find a job,” said Robert Turner, a building mechanic at the Smithsonian’s American History museum in the nation’s capital. He was called in for part of the day to take out the trash, turn off the water and help close up the place. The effects played out in a variety of ways, from scaled-back operations at federal prosecutors’ offices and the FBI to revoked permits for dozens of weddings at historic sites in Washington. Campers and hikers at the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone and other national parks were given two days to pack up and leave, and new visitors were being turned away. St. Louis’ landmark 630-foot-high Gateway Arch was offlimits as well. In Philadelphia, Paul Skilling of Northern Ireland wanted to see the Liberty Bell up close but had to settle for looking at the symbol of democracy through glass. And he wasn’t optimistic about the chances of visiting any landmarks in Washington, the next stop on a weekslong visit. In New York, tourists who had hoped to see the Statue of Liberty were instead offered an hour harbor cruise. The government closings did not stop the launch on Tuesday of the enrollment period for the online insurance marketplaces established under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul — the program at the very heart of the dispute that produced the shutdown. The two federal employees in orbit

around the Earth — NASA astronauts Karen Nyberg and Michael Hopkins — carried on as usual aboard the International Space Station, with essential employees at Mission Control in Houston supporting the lab and its six inhabitants. There were no TV or web updates, however, as most of NASA’s workforce was furloughed. Anglers headed to the highly anticipated first day of the fall fishing season on North Carolina’s Outer Banks found they could not drive onto the beach at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Dozens of goats were taken off ivyeating duty at Fort Hancock, a recreation area in Sandy Hook, N.J. A KKK rally planned for the Gettysburg battlefield in Pennsylvania this weekend was canceled. Out West, Thora Johannson and her sister wanted to spend one more night at a campground at the Grand Canyon. But they packed up their things and headed home Tuesday, Johannson to San Francisco and her sister to Vancouver, Canada. In Utah, rafting outfitters were not allowed on major rivers, and the state’s five national parks closed during what is normally a busy time of year. In the nation’s capital, fountains were being turned off on the National Mall and the National Zoo closed. Its beloved panda-cam went dark. But more than 125 veterans from Iowa and Mississippi walked past barricades at the National World War II Memorial after members of Congress cut the police tape and moved barriers for them. The IRS suspended audits for the duration of the shutdown, and call centers were left unmanned. In St. Paul, Minn., the voicemail warned callers they “should file and pay their taxes as normal.” The 12 million people who got sixmonth extensions must still file their returns by Oct. 15. But the agency will not issue tax refunds until the government resumes normal operations. (The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

Corinth, Miss.

A day to be remembered I wonder how many others were glued to C-Span at 1:00 on a recent Sunday morning listening to the speeches from the floor of the United States House of Representatives preceding a vote whose outcome Marty was a foregone conclusion. Wiseman I am risking having my sanity called into question when I Stennis admit I was and I was far more Institute fascinated than the level of intrigue called for. The speeches in the middle of the night made on the floor which, for the most part, alternated between the Democrats and the Republicans might just as well have been beamed in from separate planets rather than having been delivered as they were from a few feet away from each other. Two major things took place on Oct. 1. That was the first day tenrollment in health care insurance plans as prescribed by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) began. Secondly, it was also the first day of a new fiscal year in which a new budget or at least a new continuing resolution commenced functioning. The only problem was a significant segment of the United States House maintained if the health care signup moves forward then the budget will not. The bottom line was no budget no government funding. Has Congress ever witnessed such a sharp division between the two major parties in their opinions of the role of government? Have they ever reached such a bitter impasse? A search for answers as to what history can tell us about Congress and its experiences in discovering the indispensable art of compromise following a period of deadlock is not very rewarding, and it can be somewhat disheartening. For instance, the period of greatest disagreement and refusal to engage in a meeting of the minds is undoubtedly the years immediately prior to the Civil War. John C. Calhoun, perhaps the Ted Cruz of his day, supplied the language of “nullification and interposition” that later lead to the rationale for secession of the Southern states. In more modern times there have been major uprisings. In March of 1956, 19 senators and 77 House members signed and issued “The Southern Manifesto.” This document was composed as a reaction by Southerners to the U. S. Supreme Court’s decision in Brown vs. The Board of Education in 1954 ending the legal practice of maintaining “separate but equal” facilities for black and white citizens. “The Southern Manifesto” stated in no uncertain terms the determination of the South not to abide by the holding of the Court in the Brown decision. Mississippi Senator James O. Eastland, like Calhoun a century earlier, took up the call for “nullification” by the states of federal laws with which these Southern states disagreed. Years of bloody conflict followed as the Civil Rights movement began in earnest. The current situation in the nation’s capital is compounded significantly by the fact Oct. 17 has been pegged as the absolute date by which the ceiling on the Federal debt must be raised or the country risks defaulting on its previously incurred debt. In preparation for that debate Republicans in the U. S. House have prepared a laundry list of virtually every prominent issue on their agenda which they claim must be addressed before the ceiling can be raised. Of course this list includes delaying implementation of the Affordable Care Act for a year. At this juncture neither the legislation attached to the continuing resolution nor the legislation associated with the debt ceiling stands any chance of passing the Democratically-held Senate. This is where we run out of answers. It was quite evident from the midnight House debate all the lines and all of the talking points in defense of the two parties’ positions have been used many times over. The ultimate outcomes provided to us by history are too dismal to contemplate. What remains is the answer to the question “How are we going to get out of this wilderness and who is going to lead us?” (Daily Corinthian columnist Dr. W. Marty Wiseman is professor of political science and director of the John C. Stennis Institute of Government, Mississippi State University. His e-mail address is marty@sig.msstate. edu.)

Prayer for today Lord, I am grateful for the many people who bring me support, encouragement and companionship along the way. They’re a source of great joy as they enrich my life daily. Amen.

A verse to share “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.” — Ezekiel 18:30

The Beltway lies of the Obamacare war “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies,” said Winston Churchill. What is the truth behind the Beltway lies about these crazy Republicans crashing our government? Twice in the last week House Republicans have voted unanimously to fund the U.S. government. If national polls are to be believed, those House Republicans are doing exactly what America wants. A majority of Americans oppose a government shutdown. And a majority oppose Obamacare. Who, then, is preventing the government from being funded? Harry Reid and Barack Obama. Neither will accept any continuing resolution that does not contain Obamacare. Both will shut down this city rather than accept any such CR. It is Harry and Barry who are saying: If we don’t get full funding of Obamacare, we shutdown Washington until the House delivers. The battle, then, is over this question: Will the next great liberal entitlement program, Obamacare, with its manifest failings and flaws, be imposed upon the nation -- against its will? The House says no. The Beltway says yes. Few disagree that, in any national plebiscite, Obamacare would be buried in a landslide. Few disagree that if Obamacare were put to a

vote of the Congress today, it would fail in both houses. W h y , then, is it Pat radical for Buchanan the House to use its Columnist power of the purse to defund a program America does not want? Why is it statesmanship for Obama to say he will shut down the entire government if any resolution to keep it running contains even the slightest tweak to his cherished program? What these questions suggest is that this is at root a political and ideological war, and the Beltway has assembled its usual bodyguard of liars to conceal that truth. Consider this keening from the Washington Post yesterday about the terrible consequences of a government shutdown: “[W]e would hope that Mr. Boehner would have compassion for thousands of moderately paid breadwinners who would find themselves in very difficult circumstances. We would hope he would be troubled by how a shutdown would disrupt research at the National Institute of Health and safety inspections at the Food and Drug Administration.” About this lugubrious passage, several questions: Since Reid and Obama have both said they will

block any CR that does not contain Obamacare in its pristine form, why are they not charged with some responsibility for a shutdown? Answer: The Post is not interested in conveying the truth about this conflict, because in this battle it is as much a political ally of Obama as Debbie Wasserman Schultz. But it is a more effective ally, since some still presume it is being truthful and objective. Assume that today John Boehner came out and said at a press conference: “I have taken note of the Post’s concerns about an interruption of service at NIH and the FDA. I share those concerns. Therefore, at my direction, the House will vote this afternoon to fully fund both agencies.” Anyone think the Washington Post would celebrate Boehner’s compassion and statesmanship the next morning? Of course not. All this weeping and gnashing of teeth about the terrible consequences of a government shutdown is designed to whip up political animosity, direct it at House Republicans, and break John Boehner. Failing that, it is to foist upon the House Republicans full responsibility for a shutdown that the House has voted twice to avoid. What this battle confirms is that, on major national issues that pit social and populist conservatives against Big Government liberals, the Beltway press corps invari-

ably acts like a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic National Committee. More problematic, there is a slice of the Beltway right -the contributions bundlers and kennel-fed conservatives, the summer soldiers and sunshine patriots, the George McClellans -- that prefers prancing, parading and posturing to the actual fighting. With them the excuses are always the same. We can’t win. We have been beaten on this terrain before. The press will kill us. The White House has a microphone we can’t match. Some “conservatives” even cynically suggest that the GOP let Obamacare take effect, as it will prove such a disaster there will be a backlash against it in 2014 -- and from that we can benefit. Every Republican should be out front, on TV, radio and in print this week with a simple message: “We have twice voted to fund every agency and program of the U.S. government (save Obamacare) in a single CR. We will proceed now to pass CRs for each department and agency of the U.S. government, separately and individually. “And if Harry Reid’s Senate refuses to pass a single one of those CRs, who then is shutting down NIH and the FDA?” (Daily Corinthian columnist Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)

afternoons. Is there an age of demarcation for really listening to Will Rheta music? I become Johnson one of those soulless perColumnist sons who think of it as merely background noise? I surely hope not. I keep thinking about Jimmy Carter and his infamous use of the word “malaise.” He got into big trouble for even suggesting that as a nation we might feel it. But then he also got into trouble for lowering the speed limit to save lives and for wearing a sweater. That was part of his popularity problem. He dealt in the truth. Never popular. I’m re-reading my friend Todd Johnson’s novel, “The Sweet By and By.” It is a wonderful book, full of pathos and humor, which

seems to suit my mood. Most of the characters live or work in a nursing home. Health care has been much on my mind. I keep reading reports about Alabama and Mississippi and plenty of other states turning down billions of dollars in federal money to keep from expanding Medicaid to insure poor people and cooperating with the president. The last part of that sentence is the key to understanding the insanity of turning down string-free funds to provide health care for the poorest citizens. It is political cowardice and lack of compassion. Candidates don’t want to be seen as cooperating with a black president. That’s the bottom line. “Scratch hard enough and you’ll find a racial angle to every story,” my late editor in Memphis once said to me. So far, four decades into my trade, he hasn’t

been wrong. Why is it that the more a politician or a party professes to own the franchise on Christianity, the harder the attitude toward the poor? Makes no sense to me. Not in the Bible my grandmother believed. I guess we are moving from a fall of frustration to a winter of discontent. There is no apparent remedy for hard human hearts. There is no prescription for nonchalant greed. I won’t stay in this senseless funk, this malaise. I’ll get bored with myself, find my favorite sweater with the moth holes, listen to Hank on the porch and give myself a fireside chat. My old dogs and I will howl at the Hunter’s Moon.

Text mistakenly sent to cop leads to arrest SPARTA, N.J. — Authorities say a New Jersey man mistakenly sent a text message to a police detective to set up a drug sale and now faces charges. Authorities say a detective received the text message on his new cellphone Friday night. The sender had said he had a quarter pound of marijuana for sale and wanted to meet at a pizza parlor. Nicholas Delear Jr., of Sussex, met later that night with an undercover police officer but fled when he became suspicious. Police soon stopped his vehicle, but the 33-year-old Delear refused to consent to his vehicle being searched. Authorities obtained a warrant after a police dog detected drugs in the vehicle. They found four plastic bags containing marijuana and other paraphernalia.

Capital city fights rat problems with fliers COLUMBUS, Ohio — Without money to bring back its rat-control program, the health department for Ohio’s capital city plans to map complaints and spread fliers educating residents about dealing with the rodents. The Columbus Dispatch reports the city’s service line has received over 200 rat complaints involving rental properties this year, almost reaching the total for last year. In August, Columbus also started logging complaints from nonrental properties, with more than a dozen so far. Some people hope Columbus Public Health resurrects a rat-control pilot program conducted a few years ago, but the proposed 2014 budget doesn’t include money

for that. Virginia Tomolillo has trapped 22 rats in her yard this year. She blames a neighbor who leaves dog food outdoors, and she says city education efforts might help.

Israel won’t let Iran get nuclear weapons UNITED NATIONS— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played the spoiler Tuesday to any easing of Iran’s relations with the West, telling world leaders his country will do whatever it takes to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, even if it has to stand alone. Speaking at the U.N. General Assembly, Netanyahu asserted that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani must have known about a terror attack on a Buenos Aires Jewish community center in 1994, as well as the 1996 bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 Americans, because he was national security adviser at the time. Last week, President Barack Obama and the Iranian leader spoke on the phone, the highest level contacts between their countries in 34 years. Netanyahu said Israel’s future is threatened by a “nuclear-armed” Iran seeking its destruction and urged the international community to keep up pressure through sanctions. “Israel will not allow Iran to get nuclear weapons,” he said. “If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone, but in standing alone Israel will know that we will be defending many, many others,” Netanyahu added.

There are vacuum shoes that clean the floor while you walk and fitness bracelets, anklets and necklaces to track your calorie burning. “Everyone agrees the race is just beginning, and I think we’re going to see some very, very big leaps in just the next year,” said tech entrepreneur Manish Chandra at a wearable technology conference and fashion show in San Francisco Monday that was buzzing with hundreds of developers, engineers and designers. Wearable technologies have long been a sideshow to mainstream laptop and smartphones, but this year Google’s glasses and rumors of Apple’s iWatch are popularizing the field. Analysts forecast swift growth. Last year the market for wearable technology — encompassing everything from hearing aids to wristband pedometers — totaled almost $9 billion. That should climb to $30 billion by 2018, said analyst Shane Walker at IHS Global Insights. Humans have been wearing technology for centuries, from strapped-on compasses to pocket watches. The current surging industry is centered in the Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay area, where mostly smaller startups design their products locally and have them manufactured in Asia to take advantage of cheap labor. Monday’s conference was one of several focusing exclusively on wearable technology in recent years. As wearable technologies proliferate, humans will need to adapt, said Georgia Tech professor Thad Starner.

Big money sought by Tupelo airport TUPELO — One month after requesting and receiving money from the city of Tupelo for taxiway repairs, the Tupelo Regional Airport Authority Board makes another request, this time for $1.2 million. In a specially called meeting of the Tupelo City Council Monday, WTVA TV reports airport executive director Joshua Abramson stated their case: the money, paid from the city in increments of approximately $140,000 over 20 years, would go toward capital improvements for the airport. Abramson says the vast majority of that would go toward a taxiway used primarily by the airport’s largest tenant: Universal Asset Management. The council agreed to make a decision later this week on whether to approve the request.

Satellite questions dog vote on judge TUPELO — A Tupelo City Council member is questioning whether a lawyer should serve as a city judge, saying he’s been breaking a city ordinance. Councilman Mike Bryan said Monday that Willie C. Allen illegally kept a small satellite dish in his front yard for months. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports city rules say residents need special permission to place an unscreened satellite dish in their front yards. Allen would be the city’s first black municipal judge. Mayor Jason Shelton says Allen told him Monday that he has removed the dish. But Bryan says neighbors have been complaining for months. Bryan and Councilman Jim Newell question how Allen can enforce city codes if he doesn’t follow them himself.

last suspect in a burglary has turned himself in to Lawrence County authorities, after another man was shot dead. 34-year-old Michael Alford turned himself in Monday, WJTV-TV reports. He’s the surviving suspect from what authorities say was an attempted burglary Sept. 24. Homeowner David Maxwell shot and killed 30-year-old Matthew James Javor after Maxwell said he found Javor trying to pry open a door. Lawrence County officials don’t plan to seek charges against Maxwell, saying he was protecting his property and his actions were allowed under state law. Alford is charged with conspiracy to commit burglary. Lawrence County Undersheriff Willie Wallace says a family member brought Alford to confess. Alford is also charged with second-degree arson in Lincoln County for burning the truck he drove away in.

Judge blocks part of campaign finance law Associated Press

JACKSON â€” A federal judge in north Mississippi has declared that part of the stateâ€™s campaign finance law is unconstitutional because it creates burdens for people or groups that spend at least $200 to support or oppose a ballot initiative. U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock ruled Monday that the state may require some level of campaign finance reporting by people or groups

who attempt to influence elections on proposed constitutional amendments that appear on the statewide ballot. However, she wrote that â€œunder the current regulatory scheme, which is convoluted and exacting, the requirements are too burdensome for the Stateâ€™s $200 threshold.â€? Aycockâ€™s ruling does not change that part of the campaign finance law that requires candidates for statewide office or

legislative seats to file reports disclosing the name, address and occupation of anyone donating at least $200 to their campaigns. Five Oxford residents filed a lawsuit in 2011, challenging Mississippiâ€™s campaign finance reporting requirements for those pushing for or against ballot initiatives. They were supporting an initiative that ultimately was approved by voters that year, limiting the governmentâ€™s use of emi-

nent domain to take private land. They were represented by the Institute for Justice, a libertarian group based in Virginia. Paul Avelar, an Institute for Justice attorney, said in a news release Tuesday that Aycockâ€™s ruling in the lawsuit is a victory for the First Amendment right of freedom of speech. â€œIn America, you shouldnâ€™t need lawyers and accountants in order to speak about politics; all you should need is an

opinion,â€? Avelar said. Attorney General Jim Hood had defended the law, saying it was not burdensome. His spokeswoman did not immediately respond to questions Tuesday about whether Hood will appeal Aycockâ€™s ruling. The vice chairman of the state Senate Elections Committee, Democrat David Blount of Jackson, said Tuesday that itâ€™s not difficult for campaigns to keep track of who gives

money, whether itâ€™s a campaign for public office or for or against a ballot initiative. He said disclosure of that information also is not burdensome. â€œI believe itâ€™s good public policy for people to know who are the major donors to a political campaign,â€? Blount said. Secretary of State Delbert Hosemannâ€™s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Aycockâ€™s ruling.

Johnson PLLC. Detective Sgt. Matt Thomas says investigators believe Denton took the money between December 2011 and June. Police did not say exactly how much money Denton is accused of taking. She was booked at the Harrison County jail and held on a $20,000 bond set by Justice Court Judge Brandon Ladner. It was unclear whether Denton has an attorney. Â

Man found stealing fuel from tanker PASS CHRISTIAN â€” A 52-year-old Long Beach man suspected of stealing about $7,500 in fuel from a tanker trucking business was caught in the act of putting fuel in 55-gallon drums. Harrison County Sheriff Melvin Brisolara tells The Sun Herald Devern Sam Taylor was under investigation on an embezzlement complaint when deputies and business personnel found him allegedly stealing more fuel Sunday night in Pass Christian. The sheriff said investigators believe Taylorâ€™s accomplice left before duties arrived. BCP Tank Lines, of Gulfport, had filed the complaint and had records and log books showing Taylor was responsible for the

truck when the fuel went missing. Taylor is held at the Harrison County jail on a $10,000 bond set by Justice Court Judge Bruce Strong. It was unclear whether he has an attorney. Â

Man booked with attack on bus driver COLUMBUS â€” Authorities in Lowndes County have arrested an Artesia man in connection with an assault on a school bus driver. Sheriffâ€™s deputies tell WTVA that 21-year-old Tyquan Lucius was booked with aggravated assault on a school official. Investigators say the Lowndes County School District bus was making its final stop of the day on Friday when Lucius got on the bus and assaulted the driver, who was not identified by authorities.

Several students on the bus exited through a rear emergency door. Investigators say an encounter earlier in the day may have triggered the incident. It was not immediately clear whether Lucius has an attorney. Â

Insurance markets open to surge of new customers Associated Press

CHICAGO — The online insurance marketplaces that are at the heart of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul struggled to handle the wave of eager new consumers Tuesday, the first day of a six-month open-enrollment period that inaugurates the biggest expansion in coverage in nearly 50 years. A combination of high demand and technical glitches seemed to overwhelm the online system early in the day. Federal and state officials were working to address the problems, which led to long waits on government websites and a federal call center. As a sign of how ready Americans were to get started, Obama said more than 1 million people had visited the government’s main website before 7 a.m. EDT — exceeding expectations and contributing to the delays. In Obama’s home state, dozens of people who came to a Champaign, Ill., public health office to sign up for coverage found computer screens around the room flashing an error message: “System is unavailable.” Kimberly Shockley — logging in from Houston, Texas — and Mike Weaver, who lives in rural

southern Illinois, ran into similar glitches: They could not get past the security questions while trying to set up their personal accounts through healthcare.gov. “I’m frustrated, very frustrated,” said Shockley, a self-employed CPA. She spent more than an hour trying to get the security questions to work Tuesday morning without success. When she clicked on a drop-down menu of suggested security questions, none appeared. She then tried to create her own questions, but that didn’t work either. Weaver, a self-employed photographer, said he also ran into problems with the dropdown menus. And when they started working, he still wasn’t able to set up his account. “The first day of something that you know is going to have a lot of bugs, it’s not that frustrating,” he said. “If it was the last day to sign up ... then I’d be terribly frustrated.” Shockley has health insurance, but is looking for a better plan. Weaver is uninsured. State-operated sites also experienced glitches. Rhode Island’s site opened as scheduled, but was quickly overwhelmed by visitors and

went down. A spokesman for the New York Department of Health blamed problems with the 2 million visits to the website in the first 90 minutes after its launch. Washington state’s marketplace used Twitter to thank users for their patience. Exchange officials in Colorado said their website would not be fully functional for the first month, although consumers will be able to get help applying for government subsidies during that time. Hawaii’s marketplace wasn’t allowing people to compare plans and prices. Connecticut seemed to be a bright spot, although some users reported problems. Access Health CT sent out a tweet shortly before noon Tuesday, confirming the marketplace logged 10,000 visitors in the first three hours of operation and 22 enrollments. A family of three was the first to sign up for coverage. California, home to 15 percent of the nation’s uninsured, reported delays online and on the phone because of heavy volume. The first completed health insurance application was taken at 8:04 a.m., just minutes after the exchange opened, an official there said.

In Portsmouth, N.H., Deborah Lielasus tried to sign up for coverage but got only as far as creating an account before the website stopped working. She said she expected glitches. Lielasus, a 54-yearold self-employed grant writer, currently spends about $8,500 a year in premiums and more than $10,000 for out-ofpocket expenses because she has a health condition and her only option has been a state high-risk insurance pool. She said she expects those costs to decrease significantly. As excited as she was to sign up, she said, her anticipation was tempered by dismay over the government shutdown that was led by congressional Republicans who want to block the health insurance reforms. “I’m really happy that this is happening, that this is being launched ... I feel like it’s a child caught in the middle of a really bad divorce,” Lielasus said. The shutdown will have no immediate effect on the insurance marketplaces that are the backbone of the law, because they operate with money that isn’t subject to the annual budget wrangling in Washington. The marketplaces rep-

resent a turning point in the nation’s approach to health care, the biggest expansion in coverage in nearly 50 years. The Obama administration hopes to sign up 7 million people during the first year and aims to eventually sign up at least half of the nearly 50 million uninsured Americans through an expansion of Medicaid or governmentsubsidized plans. But if people become frustrated with the malfunctions in the computer-based enrollment process and turn away from the program, the prospects for Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement could dim. “You’ve got to launch this thing right the first time,” said Robert Laszewski, a consultant who worked 20 years in the insurance industry. “If you don’t, financially you will never recover.” Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, which helped work for passage of the law, cautioned against rushing to judge on first-day performance. Numerous observers had predicted bugs and setbacks. Trained outreach workers in many states are having trouble getting the certification they need to start helping people to enroll.

In Texas, a federally funded network of “navigators” hired to help residents enroll was off to a rocky start Tuesday because of backtracking participants — including some cowed by the politics of the health law. At least four regional government councils — covering more than 30 counties statewide — reversed course in the past two weeks and turned away funds that would train navigators in their areas. Local leaders described their hesitancy as a mix of uncertainty surrounding state rules and a fear of running afoul of Republican leaders. Many states predicted that an initial surge of interest would test the online system, but they expect most people to sign up closer to Dec. 15, which is the deadline for coverage to start Jan. 1. Customers have until the end of March to sign up in order to avoid tax penalties. Under the law, health insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to someone with a preexisting medical condition and cannot impose lifetime caps on coverage. They also must cover a list of essential services, ranging from mental health treatment to maternity care.

Testimony at BP oil spill trial targets delay in response The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — An employee of the company that owned the doomed Deepwater Horizon drilling rig testified Tuesday that he was surprised when BP scrapped his team’s design to stop the gusher in the Gulf of Mexico. Robert Turlak, a Transocean Ltd. manager, was a witness for his employer at a federal trial that is focusing on BP’s response to the April 2010 well blowout. BP’s trial adversaries argue the company could have sealed the blown-out well much sooner if it had employed a capping strategy that Turlak and others had devised. It was ready for installation in early June. BP ultimately used a capping stack to stop the spill July 15 after several other methods failed. Turlak said he never heard why BP scrapped his team’s design. “We were so close. We had come a long way,” said Turlak, Transocean’s manager of subsea engineering and well control systems. During the first few weeks after the spill, engineers focused on two methods for stopping the flow of oil: Capping the well was one option. The other, called “top kill,” involved pumping drilling

mud and other material into the Deepwater Horizon rig’s blowout preventer. Turlak’s team was working on a strategy that was called “BOP-onBOP” because it lowered a second blowout preventer on top of the rig’s failed one. Turlak called it the “obvious solution,” but BP said it wasn’t a viable option because it could have made the situation worse and hampered other strategies if it failed. BP said the capping stack that later sealed the well was specifically designed to land on the well system above the blowout preventer. BP employed the “top kill” method in May 2010, but it didn’t stop the flow

of oil. The company says its adversaries have ignored evidence that the “BOP-on-BOP” option wasn’t approved or ready for safe installation before “top kill.” The trial’s second phase opened Monday with claims that BP ignored decades of warnings about the risks of a deep-water blowout and withheld crucial information about the size of the spill. Plaintiffs’ lawyers claim BP knew the “top kill” strategy was doomed based on higher flow rate estimates that the company didn’t share with federal officials at the time. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, who is presiding over the trial without a jury, also heard video-

taped testimony Tuesday by a manager employed by cement contractor Halliburton. Richard Vargo, who assisted on the top kill attempts, said he didn’t learn until later that BP didn’t believe the procedure would work given the high flow rates. “I’m pretty angry,” Vargo said, choking back

tears. During opening statements, BP attorney Mike Brock said the company’s efforts to stop the flow of oil were guided by an overriding principle: “Don’t make it worse.” Turlak said that was a “reasonable philosophy.” The trial’s first phase, which ended in April,

focused on the complex chain of mistakes and failures that caused the blowout. The second phase is divided into two segments: The first centers on BP’s efforts to cap the well. The second is designed to help Barbier determine how much oil spilled into the Gulf.

Health insurer rebound Managed care stocks have rallied since the Standard & Poorâ€™s 500 index hit a bottom on March 9, 2009 and show few signs of losing steam as open enrollment begins under the health care overhaul. The nationâ€™s five largest health insurers all have outperformed the S&P 500, which is up 151 percent since early 2009. Among them, shares of Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealth Group have risen at least twice as fast. Insurers have lured investors back to their stocks by hiking their quarterly dividend payouts substantially and by reporting earnings that regularly exceed Wall Street expectations. Health care costs have generally grown at a more moderate pace since the Great Recession and that has helped the balance sheets of many insurers.

Healthy returns

Investors also have realized that the overhaul wonâ€™t cripple managed care. Health insurance stocks experienced months of price swings before the new health care law emerged from Congress in 2010. Investors fretted over possible competition from a government-funded insurance option. Citi financial analyst Carl McDonald says a push by some employers to move their employee health coverage to private exchanges may benefit managed care stocks. Large employers typically pay their own claims and hire insurers only to administer the policies. Some companies, such as Walgreen, are shifting to fully insured plans in which the managed care company pays the claims as well. That could deliver big revenue gains for these companies.

Managed care stocks are up sharply since the stock market bottomed in March 2009.

US-raised immigrants remain in US custody Associated Press

LAREDO, Texas — Thirtyfour young migrants are in U.S. custody after trying to enter the United States without documents in the latest round of what is becoming a new tactic in confronting what they consider unjust U.S. immigration policies. U.S. immigration officials interviewed the group dressed in a colorful graduation caps and gowns late into the night Monday after they marched across one of the bridges connecting Mexico to Laredo while chanting “Undocumented and unafraid!” The young people all spent long stretches of their childhoods in U.S. cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix and want to return. Edna Flores, 22, of Hermosillo in Sonora state, was taken by her family illegally to the U.S. when she was 6. But she volun-

tarily left Phoenix in January 2012 after deciding her options for finding work or continuing her education were limited after graduating from high school. In Mexico, she found work in a call center and obtained a tourist visa to visit the U.S. Flores took a 26-hour bus ride last week to Nuevo Laredo to join the group at a migrant shelter as it prepared for Monday’s protest march. “I just want to be back with my family,” she said. The risks borne by their parents’ generation involved dangerous journeys through darkness across desert and river. The teenagers and 20-somethings who crossed Monday face what could be weeks in detention and possible deportation. They are following the path of the “Dream Nine,” a smaller group that attempted to enter the U.S. at Nogales, Arizona,

in July. They requested asylum and were released after about two weeks in detention to await their turn before a judge. Monday’s contingent expects something similar. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, whose officers determine who is admitted at the border, said privacy laws prohibited it from discussing any individual cases. At the heart of both groups’ protest was a change to U.S. immigration regulations made in June 2012 giving something called deferred action to immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children. Those who were in the U.S. at that time and met a list of criteria could apply for a renewable two-year deferment and work authorization. But the young people crossing Monday had left the U.S., either voluntarily or through

deportation, months, weeks or even just days before the deferred action announcement, commonly known as DACA. “We look at this action today and the Dream Nine as a type of extension of DACA,” said David Bennion, an immigration lawyer traveling with the group. “What we would like to see is the people who left, like these 30 who otherwise would have qualified for DACA, to have that be taken into consideration.” There were several minors in the group, including 17-yearold Luis Enrique Rivera Lopez. He came to the border from Guasave in Sinaloa, a Mexican state that he had known only by its reputation for drugs and violence before going there from Los Angeles early last year. “I wanted to have a sense of my roots,” Rivera said of his decision to return to Mexico, where he hadn’t been since he

was 1. “I wanted to know where I was from.” The experience was rewarding in some ways. He got to know both sets of grandparents. But after 19 months away he missed his parents and three siblings who remained in Los Angeles. He also found he didn’t fit in after having grown up in Los Angeles. “When I got to Sinaloa I didn’t dress like anyone. My haircut was different. My style of walking was different. My Spanish was like way off,” he said. David Leopold, an immigration lawyer and past president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said the tactic concerned him. “The focus now should be on getting the House of Representatives to do its job and fix the immigration system,” Leopold said. “I don’t know that these actions move that issue forward.”

Markets increase even as government shutdown starts Associated Press

NEW YORK — Investors stayed calm on the first day of a partial shutdown of the U.S. government Tuesday and sent the stock market modestly higher. A long-running dispute in Washington over President Barack Obama’s health care law caused a deadlock over the U.S. budget, forcing about 800,000 federal workers off the job and suspending all but essential services. With the Republicancontrolled House of Representatives and Democraticcontrolled Senate locked in a stalemate, it was unclear how long a temporary bill needed to finance government activities would be stalled. Despite the political rancor, investors didn’t push the panic button. That suggests that, at least for now, they aren’t anticipating that the stalemate will cause enough disruption in the economy to threaten a gradual U.S. recovery and a four-year bull run in the stock market.

“The trend of the economy appears to be in a positive direction,” said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group. “Unless this really gets ugly, we think the markets should start to look ahead to what we believe should be better economic data over the next six to 12 months.” In the latest encouraging news on the economy, a private industry group reported Tuesday that U.S. manufacturing expanded at the fastest pace since April 2011 last month on stronger production and hiring. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 62.03 points, or 0.4 percent, to 15,191.70. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 13.45 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,695.00. The Nasdaq composite rose 46.50 points, or 1.2 percent, to 3,817.98. All ten sectors of the S&P 500 rose, led by gains in health care and technology. Merck helped lift the health care sector. The drugmaker’s stock rose $1.13, or 2.4 percent,

to $48.74 after it announced plans to cut another 8,500 jobs as part of a plan to reduce its annual costs by about $2.5 billion by the end of 2015. The technology sector was given a boost by Apple, which gained $11.21, or 2.4 percent, to $487.90, after billionaire investor Carl Icahn tweeted about his dinner meeting with Apple’s CEO Tim Cook. Icahn, who said he has invested $2 billion in Apple, is pushing for the company to spend $150 billion buying its own stock. “I feel very strongly that this should be done,” Icahn told CNBC in an interview. “It’s a no-brainer.” The Apple board pledged in April to spend $60 billion buying back its stock through the end of 2015. About $18 billion of that commitment had been exhausted through June. The S&P 500 index has fallen 2 percent since climbing to a record on Sept. 18, when the Federal Reserve surprised investors by saying it would continue

with its economic stimulus. The index has fallen seven out of eight days leading up to the partial government shutdown. “We’re not jumping in with both feet but we’re selectively putting money to work,” said Joseph Quinlan, chief market strategist for U.S. Trust Bank of America Private Wealth Management. “On the other side of the government shutdown, you’ve got continued support from the Fed and a global economy that’s rebounding.” Many investors still predict that the budget fight will be resolved before it spills over into a dispute about raising the nation’s borrowing limit. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said last week that the government would run out of borrowing authority by roughly Oct. 17. The last time the borrowing limit, or debt ceiling, issue came up in August 2011, it led to a downgrade of the United States’ credit rating by Standard & Poor’s. The Dow went through nearly three weeks of

triple-digits moves almost daily shortly thereafter. In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year note rose to 2.65 percent from 2.61 percent late Monday. The price of oil fell 29 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $102.04 a barrel. Gold fell $40.90, or 3 percent, to settle at $1,286.10 an ounce. The dollar fell against the euro and the Japanese yen. Among other stocks making big moves: ■ Walgreen rose $2.44, or 4.5 percent, to $56.24 after the drugstore chain said its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings soared 86 percent after it booked gains from its method of inventory accounting and its acquisition of a stake in European health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots. ■ Ford gained 32 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $17.19 after the automaker said that U.S. sales rose 6 percent in September, with strong car sales making up for slower sales of SUVs.
