Gann named chair of state board of education Staff reports

A former teacher, principal, and school superintendent can now add chairman of the Mississippi Board of Education to his long list of education experience. Dr. O. Wayne Gann, of Corinth was elected Friday by State Board members to lead the Mississippi Board of Education for the next year. Board members also chose River Hills Bank Chairman Howell Gage as vice chairman.

“It’s an honor to be selected as chairman of the Mississippi Board of Education and I look

forward to working with the entire education community to improve the academic achievement of our students,” said Gann.

“We will continue to focus on our lowest performing Dr. O. Wayne schools by Gann providing the technical assistance needed to help them improve, while also

providing opportunities to better our highest performing schools.”

Dr. Gann was appointed to the State Board in 2006 by then Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck. He retired after serving 27 years as superintendent of Corinth Public Schools.

He has worked as a teacher and principal in the Union County and New Albany public school systems. Dr. Gann attended Itawamba Community College and holds a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and doctorate from the University of Mississippi.

Gage, of Vicksburg was ap-

pointed to the Mississippi Board of Education in 2004 by then Gov. Haley Barbour to serve an unexpired term and reappointed in 2007. He has served as the chairman of River Hills Bank in Vicksburg for 13 years. Gage also serves as chairman of the Vicksburg Medical Foundation and past chairman of the River Regional Medical Center Board of Directors. Gage is a former chairman to the Vicksburg-Warren Chamber of Commerce and a former advisory board member of the New Orleans branch of the Federal Reserve Bank

of Atlanta. Gage holds a bachelor’s degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a master’s degree from Harvard University.

“Dr. Gann and Mr. Gage are excellent choices to lead the State Board of Education. They possess outstanding leadership qualities, but more importantly, they are great supporters of public education,” Interim State Superintendent of Education Dr. Lynn House said. “I look forward to working with them to better serve the needs of Mississippi’s students.”

Where She Belongs Box Chapel pastor finds peace in answering the call to ministry

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Ann Ferguson has made it to where she was supposed to be all along.

Behind the pulpit.

It took 33 years of teaching high school English before the 64 year-old reached the destination, but Ferguson is energized with the task God has called her to do.

The licensed local pastor is still settling into the role as the new leader of Box Chapel United Methodist Church — located on County Road 100 near Farmington.

“Most of my life I have known that I should be in the ministry,

but like others I came up with excuses,” said the new pastor while sitting at one of the back pews in the church. “After retiring from teaching, I had no more excuses.”

The wife, of 42 years to husband Boyd, started her training in Tennessee before receiving a call from a district superintendent about an interest in a church in Mississippi.

As a local licensed pastor Ferguson can “preach, baptize and marry,” she just isn’t ordained.

Project Attention students present fairy tale play

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The kids of Project Attention are taking Mother Goose to court.

Student’s of the center’s summer enrichment program will take the stage for the play at 5 p.m. on Tuesday at the American Legion building on Johns Street.

Some 50 children participated in the center’s summer program and have been preparing to present Mary Hearnton’s play, “Mother Goose Goes to Court.” The exercise is designed to get them thinking about what they’ve read and to give them some experience in front of an audience.

“Many of the nursery rhymes they have heard, and they didn’t really know what they meant,” said Hearnton, a retired educator who spent 35 years in the classrooms of Detroit.

“They are taking a second look at them. It’s helping them to understand what Mother Goose was saying.”

The kids are hauling Mother Goose to court on child abuse, kidnapping and other charges based on the events in her tales.

By involving the children in a play, “They are learning selfconfidence. They are learning how to perform and speak loudly to an audience,” said

dained by completing the Course of Study. “I really enjoy the people here and feel very much at home, not only at the church but behind the pulpit,� said Ferguson.

Describing herself as someone who likes to be in the trenches, the minister's first goal “is to lead the congregation to feel like a family.� “Once that is reestablished others things will come easily,� she said.

To help with the goal, the Fergusons held a Picnic at the Parsonage on July 4th. “We all just sat around and talked,� she said. “It

was a good way to get to know everyone.�

The rural church has an attendance of 12-15 each Sunday. “I have been told the church has 40 members but no one can find the roll to see who those members are,� she said with a smile.

Ferguson, the mother of one (Keith), did a majority of her teaching in the Delta. She taught English in Washington County before wrapping up her career at the Tishomingo County schools of Belmont and Tishomingo County High School. “The way I preach is to teach,� said the raiser of Boxer puppies. “I have

been in the Methodist church all of my life ... everything I know I have learned in church.�

An avid artist, the pastor wants her ministry “to start with the congregation where they are and encourage them to fly on their own.� “I hope I can lead them to the point where they don’t need me any more,� she said.�

The retired teacher is looking forward to getting involved in the community. “That’s part of the job of a pastor,� she added.

years, Ferguson has plans for a special service in August. Belmont musician Toni Armstrong will be in charge of the music on Aug. 5 at 11 a.m.

Service times for the church are 11 a.m. Sunday morning and 5 p.m. that night. Ferguson will also begin a Bible study in the fall for Wednesday nights. “Our ultimate goal is to make disciples of Jesus Christ,� said Ferguson. “We have to offer them something they can’t get anywhere else ... they can get entertained other places, but they can’t get Jesus any other place.�

Other things in life has kept many away from church today. That doesn’t deter the Methodist pastor. “We as a church have to do something to guide young people,� said the pastor. “Those that aren’t going to church, we have to go where they are and tell them about Jesus.�

Where that leads Ferguson she is more than willing to go. “I know my ministry is limited by years,� she said. “I’m hoping to do it as long as I am physically able.�

The Consumer Services Division of the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (TRA) is advising Tennessee consumers to be on the lookout for the latest payment scam making the rounds.

Perpetrators of this scam are claiming that the federal government has introduced a special program to pay consumers’ utility bills under special funding approved by President Barack Obama and the Federal Reserve Bank.

This bogus information is being disseminated through popular social media channels like Facebook and Twitter, and through more traditional means like email, text messages and in-person solicitations.

The scam works like this. In exchange for the consumer’s Social Security number or other personal information, the scammers are offering phony bank account numbers and bank routing numbers for consum-

tiring from the Detroit schools. “I love children,� she said. “I didn’t think I could live without working with children, so immediately after coming back, I volunteered at Project Attention in the afternoons after school.�

She volunteers each summer and finds a project to do with the children. Last year it was needlepoint.

Crum wins first in state FFA contest Kaitlin Crum, Kossuth High School student and chapter FFA member believes, and proved it by placing first in the State FFA Creed Speaking Contest at the 79th Annual Mississippi FFA State Convention.

To earn the right to compete at the state contest Kaitlin placed second last fall at the federation contest and first earlier this spring at the north district contest.

Her victory earns her the right to represent Mississippi FFA at the National Creed Speaking Contest held in conjunction with the 85th National FFA Convention, October 2427, 2012, in Indianapolis, Ind. Each student learns about the FFA Creed once they enroll in a Vocational Agriculture class and join FFA. The FFA

Creed consists of 5 paragraphs all beginning with the same two words,” I believe.” Each paragraph details the importance of agriculture, including work ethic, happiness, leadership, honesty, and community that it takes to produce food and fiber for a growing global population. Kaitlin memorized the creed and was selected from her Vocational Agriculture class to represent Kossuth in competition. Written by E.M. Tiffany and adopted at the 3rd National FFA Convention over seventy-five years ago, the FFA Creed is just as important today, if not more so than it was when written.

Kaitlin is not the only Kossuth FFA member attending National FFA Convention and competing in career development events. Kos-

Corinth, Miss.

Our view

Northeast ranks high in the caring category Northeast Mississippi Community College has always been the backbone of Northeast Mississippi when it comes to educating tomorrow’s leaders, stepping up the quality of life for all citizens in all walks of life or being a key piece of the economic development puzzle in workforce training.

But the institution of higher learning with its home campus in nearby Booneville and satellite facility in Corinth earned a true feather in its cap recently by College Measures, a joint venture of the American Institutes of Research and Matrix Knowledge Group.

Northeast ranks third in the state of Mississippi in regard to success rate of giving students the best chance to transfer to a four-year college or university.

College Measures created a chart for CNNMoney to help students find the best options. Based on the percentage of students who graduated within three years or transferred to four-year colleges, it compiled a “success” rating for every community college in the U.S. Colleges with less than 200 full-time students were excluded from the study.

Northeast’s lofty ranking comes at a time when competitive enrollments and tight budgets have made the recruitment process even more difficult.

Congratulations to Northeast Associate Dean of Student Services and Registrar Lynn Gibson and all of his staff for putting Northeast on the map when it comes to the success of students who move forward in their educational journey.

This shows Gibson and his folks in student services and registration are doing a great job and all the college advisors on campus are giving out good advice in the Tiger nation.

In this new and changing world of www.getacollegedegree.com, it’s nice to know students who attend Northeast will get good advice early on when it comes to choosing an educational path.

Open registration at Northeast has been set for Aug. 7-8 and the fall semester follows on Aug. 9. As part of its early orientation process during the summer, Northeast assigns a personal college adviser to all new and transfer students.

NEMCC students also have access to a counseling center to help answer questions about career and educational choices.

Learn more about Northeast at www. nemcc.edu.

It’s nice to know our educational gem in Northeast truly cares about our future.

Both sides ramping up in Medicaid expansion battle STARKVILLE — As I noted in a recent column, the majority ruling in the Supreme Courtís decision upholding the Affordable Care Act presents a ready battle for state policymakers who must now determine whether the proposed expansion of the Medicaid program dictated by the Obama health care reforms will impact Mississippi.

On Medicaid, the court said that the federal government canít threaten or withhold funding for the stateís existing Medicaid program simply because the state fails to expand Medicaid as dictated by the health care reforms. Almost immediately, the sides began forming for what will likely be a bitter battle over the issue during the 2013 regular session of the Mississippi Legislature.

On one side are Republican leaders in both the executive and legislative branches of state government who are already on record opposing the Medicaid expansion for budgetary reasons. Gov. Phil Bryant said funding a Medicaid expansion would require substantial budget cuts in

education and transportation.

Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said adding Sid Salter 400,000 people to MedColumnist icaid would cost about $1.7 billion over a decade.

GOP House Speaker Philip Gunn called the expansion a ìbudget-busterî for the state.

But Democrats say the poorest state in the union canít afford to turn down additional federal dollars available for public health care in a state with a high percentage of uninsured citizens.

Advocacy groups are also beating the drums in favor of the state moving forward with a Medicaid expansion.

Under the ACA, federal taxpayers will pay the full cost of covering the new Medicaid enrollees for three years, from 2014 to 2016, and the federal share would then gradually decline to 90 percent in 2020. In poor states with large Medicaid populations like Mississippi, state officials worry that fu-

ture costs will be shifted to the states to pay for the increased enrollments.

Groups like the Mississippi Center for Health Policy cite different numbers in analyzing the impact of Medicaid expansion: ìOver the period from 2014 to 2019 state expenditures for the newly eligible Medicaid recipients will be about $11.4 billion with the federal government paying 97 percent (roughly $342 million) of those costs.î Advocates for the poor and working families say Medicaid expansion is an issue that impacts middleclass families, not just the poor or working poor.

Ed Sivak, the dogged director of the nonprofit Mississippi Economic Policy Center, said after the high court ruling: ìIíve been asking, for a few years, about the health insurance status of people that I come across in daily life. The people who will likely be left out if Mississippi doesn’t expand Medicaid are very familiar such as the people who cut our hair and take care of our kids or grandkids when we go to work.

Joining the Medicaid ex-

pansion fight will be a familiar political adversary for conservative legislators — the state’s hospitals. Former Gov. Haley Barbour’s policy battles with the Mississippi Hospital Association were the stuff of legend during his two terms.

But on the issue of Medicaid expansion, many hospitals — and Democrats and advocacy groups — will cite Mississippiís soaring price tag for uncompensated care (the cost of treating uninsured patients that is not reimbursable by any federal program) as justification for the expansion. That cost last year was estimated at $315 million.

Proponents of Medicaid expansion argue thatís the best reason to expand the program. But Republican leaders remain wary of seeing state taxpayers left holding the bag for an expanded program by future congressional or White House policies if the economy continues to struggle.

Chickens of globalization come home to roost Mitt Romney is today the beneficiary of some desperate counsel from alarmed Republicans on how to escape the snare in which he has found himself.

Democrats are charging that Mitt was still chairman and CEO of Bain Capital between 1999 and 2002, when the company was advising some of America’s premier outsourcers.

The facts are in dispute.

But the evidence seems on the side of the Romney camp — that Mitt did not run Bain after he went off to fix the Salt Lake City Olympics. Yet the matter raises a larger question.

What has the Republican Party got against outsourcing?

Does not the party establishment preach the gospel of free trade?

Did not the Republican Party come to the rescue of NAFTA and GATT when Bill Clinton cried for help in fighting off the wicked protectionists?

Did not the GOP foreign and economic policy elite endorse entry into a World Trade Organization, where we have no veto and one vote?

The Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable and National Association of Manufacturers, all GOP allies, proclaim the right of U.S. corporations to move production out of America — to where taxes are lower, regulations lighter and labor cheaper.

When has any GOP platform ever laid the wood on a U.S. corporate behemoth Pat like GE, BoeBuchanan ing or Apple that moved Columnist production abroad?

The GOP has long been a celebrant of the Global Economy and benefited from the contributions of lobbyists and executives of companies that outsource.

Under GOP-blessed rules of free trade, these corporations are able to shutter plants here, move to Latin America or Asia, and produce there. Now they have the right to bring their China-made goods back to the United States, duty-free, and fill the malls of America with those goods.

As Republicans rightly argue, by cutting the cost of production by moving it abroad, companies can offer lower prices for those goods here at home. Soaring profits from those higher sales mean higher stock prices and dividends, not to mention sevenand eight-figure salaries for the corporate magicians who work miracles.

As Milton Friedman observed, “There is no such thing as a free lunch.” And though Milton was its champion, free trade is no free lunch.

While there are winners from free trade, there are

also losers.

First among them are high-wage U.S. factory workers whose plants are closed when production moves abroad. Next are factory workers who lose their jobs when foreign-made goods fill up the malls and the companies they work for, companies that stayed in the U.S.A., go under.

Was it a free lunch for the 6 million who lost manufacturing jobs in the last decade when 50,000 U.S. factories disappeared?

For decades, America has been de-industrializing, with manufacturing shrinking as a share of gross domestic product to 11 percent, from over 30 percent in 1950. Not since before the Civil War have we been so dependent on foreign goods for the necessities of our national life, including the national defense. Our independence is a thing of yesterday.

This was the predicted and inevitable fruit of globalization.

Is this good for America?

Perhaps if one is a believing globalist. Then, whatever the result of globalization, whoever the winners and losers, that is what is best, for a globalized world is the best of all worlds.

This, of course, is not patriotism talking, or the voice of wisdom born of experience. It is a recitation from the globalist catchism.

When the history of American decline is written, the historians will zero in on

a choice the nation made, when the interests of Middle America collided with those of Corporate America.

Decades ago, America’s great companies, having saturated the U.S. market, wanted to go out and capture the world’s markets.

Free to move production out of the U.S.A., they wanted to be able to bring their products back to the United States, duty-free. Make them there; sell them here. And if the U.S. companies were to be allowed to produce and to sell in foreign countries, those countries wanted the right to dump their goods in the U.S.A. And here is where the national interest and the interests of Corporate America diverged. Here is where what was good for the boardroom elite collided with what was best for Middle America.

This conflict could not be reconciled. The party had to choose. And the party chose K Street over Main Street.

Free trade, the Kennedy Round of trade negotiations, the Uruguay Round, the Doha Round, NAFTA, GATT, the WTO — what they all produced is a Magna Carta of the transnational corporation, which looks longingly to the end of nation-states and the arrival of world government.

Did the Republican songbirds of globalization not understand this?

State Briefs Associated Press

Waller touts success of drug courts MERIDIAN — The chief justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court says drug courts operating around the state are saving taxpayers’ money and keeping some participants from returning to jail.

The Meridian Star reports that Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. delivered the message in a civic club speech this week.

Waller says the extensive program in which they are monitored and tested for drugs usually lasts for at least three years.

He says during that time they have to earn a GED if they don’t have

a high school diploma, offenders have to hold down a job and honor child support obligations when applicable.

Drug courts seek to rehabilitate drug-using offenders through drug treatment and intense supervision with frequent court appearances and random drug testing.

Flags fly at half-staff after mass shooting JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has joined President Barack Obama in ordering flags lowered to half-staff following the mass shooting in Aurora, Colo.

Friday evening, Bryant issued an order directing the U.S. and Mississippi flags on state property

to be flown at half-staff through sunset Wednesday.

Bryant says in his executive order that “the prayers of this state are with the victims and the families.”

Death penalty weighed for kidnapping case JACKSON — Federal prosecutors have until Aug. 1 to decide if they’ll seek the death penalty against a man who was

declared dead in Mississippi in 1994 and surfaced years later as a suspect in the deaths of his Las Vegas girlfriend and her daughter.

Thomas Steven Sanders is charged in U.S.

District Court in Alexandria, La., with kidnapping resulting in the death of 12-year-old Lexis Roberts. Her body was found by hunters in October 2010 in Catahoula Parish, La.

More than 1,000 turtles make slow escape Associated Press

SUMMERVILLE, Ga. — More than 1,000 turtles made a slow-speed escape from their turtle farm in northwest Georgia.

Turtle farmer David Driver tells sheriff’s officials he suspects vandals might be to blame for tearing down fences around his turtle

ponds in Summerville.

Authorities say that allowed the turtles — including snappers, Eastern paints and yellow-bellied sliders — to leave the farm and make a beeline to nearby ponds and creeks.

Driver tells The Chattanooga Times Free Press that about 1,600 of the 2,200 turtles escaped. He

says his business involves selling some turtles to petgrowing operations and others to China.

Sheriff’s officials are continuing to search for the turtles.

Summerville, known more as the home of folk artist Howard Finster than it is for turtles, is about 90 miles northwest of Atlanta.

Names of victims emerge in Colorado theater rampage

BY GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press

AURORA, Colo. — Ashley Moser drifted in and out of consciousness in the ICU, bullets lodged in her throat and abdomen.

In her waking moments, she called for her 6-yearold daughter Veronica.

Nobody had the heart to tell her that Veronica was already dead, the youngest victim killed at a Colorado movie theater in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history.

“Nobody can tell her about it,” Annie Dalton said of her aunt, Ashley Moser. “She is in critical condition, but all she's asking about is her daughter.”

Veronica just started swimming lessons on Tuesday, Dalton said.

“She was excited about life as she should be. She's a 6-year-old girl,” her great-aunt said The young girl was among the 12 people killed when a gunman barged into a crowded Colorado theater, set off gas canisters and opened fire as spectators dove for cover. Dozens of others were injured, including the 25-year-old Ashley Moser and 10 others in critical condition as of Friday night.

The victims' identities have emerged one by one

after authorities told their families of their deaths.

By late Saturday morning, relatives and family spokesmen had confirmed the identities of half of those who died.

One is 27-year-old Matt McQuinn. His family's attorney, Rob Scott of Dayton, Ohio, said McQuinn was killed after diving in front of his girlfriend and her older brother to shield them from the gunfire.

Scott's account could not be immediately verified.

For Alex Sullivan, it was to be a weekend of fun: He planned to ring in his 27th birthday with friends at the special midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” and then celebrate his first wedding anniversary on Sunday.

Late Friday, Sullivan's family confirmed that police told them he was among those killed.

“He was a very, very good young man,” said Sullivan's uncle, Joe Loewenguth. “He always had a smile, always made you laugh. He had a little bit of comic in him. Witty, smart. He was loving, had a big heart.”

Micayla Medek, 23, was also among the dead, her father's cousin, Anita Busch, told the Associated Press.

Busch said the news, while heartbreaking, was

Plain language law records spotty start

BY CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — An effort to make the government write so people can understand what they're reading is off to a spotty start.

A year after an anti-gobbledygook law took effect, federal agencies are still churning out plenty of incomprehensible English, according to the Center for Plain Language, which released a “report card” Thursday grading agencies

on their progress — or lack of it.

The Agriculture Department got top marks among the dozen agencies checked: an A for meeting the law's basic requirements and a B for taking supporting actions such as training staff to write clearly. Faring the worst, Veterans Affairs flunked on both counts.

The Plain Writing Act required agencies to start using clear language in October in documents that

a relief for the family after an agonizing day of waiting for news.

“I hope this evil act ... doesn't shake people's faith in God,” she said.

On Saturday morning, parents of John Larimer released a statement that Navy officials notified them about midnight that their 27-year-old son was one of the 12 killed.

The family said that Larimer's brother is working with the Navy to take his body home to Crystal Lake, Ill. He was with a unit that belongs to U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/ U.S. Tenth Fleet at Buckley Air Force.

A blogger and aspiring sports reporter who recently wrote of surviving a Toronto shooting was also among those killed, the woman's brother said.

The death of Jessica Ghawi, who was also known as Jessica Redfield, was a “complete and utter shock,” said her brother, Jordan Ghawi.

He has been using his blog and Twitter account to update what he knew about his sister's condition. He also appeared on the NBC “Today” show.

Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said Friday evening that 10 victims died at the theater and two others later died from their injuries.

provide information to the public. But there's no penalty for noncompliance. By now, all agencies are supposed to have a senior officer responsible for plain language, a section of their websites devoted to the subject and a broader process in motion to ensure they begin communicating more clearly with citizens and businesses.

The mixed results of the center's analysis “show that we still have a long way to go to make government forms and documents simpler and easier for taxpayers to understand,” said Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley of Iowa, sponsor of the legislation. The center's chairwoman, Annetta Cheek, agreed. “You do see more documents coming out that are in relatively good, plain language,” she said. But “it's very spotty.”

The Defense Department has been known for its addiction to baffling acronyms, not to mention a 26-page cookie recipe that covered “flow rates of thermoplastics by extrusion plastometer” and a command that ingredients “shall be examined organoleptically,” meaning looked at, smelled, touched or tasted. The department earned a B for meeting the law's basic requirements.

able to control everything, they believe they can at least have some mastery over the things that happen to them.

Externals, on the other hand, believe they have no control or influence, and they feel pushed around.

They simply react to their environment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and complain about what happens to them.

The more you believe you can control, the more you will try to control and the more you will control.

Although there are certain situations that can't be anticipated, allowing the possibility of uncertain events to govern our daily behavior is simply self-defeating.

Most of us have regrets about what we did or

didn't do in the past. Regrets are just part of life.

But we should never let regrets get in the way of moving forward. It's good to look back and learn from the past, but we must always realize that we are free to change the future.

You can manage your time and your life. In doing so, you will accomplish more and gain more satisfaction from the things you're doing. You feel more fulfilled, and the quality of your life will increase. Your time is your life, and as you master you time, you will create a better life.

Most of us know there is a big difference between knowing what to do and doing it. We also

know that the bridge between the two is self-discipline. Where do we find that golden key known as self-discipline? It come only from within, and each us must find it ourselves. You and I are the only ones who can unlock our potential and master those time management techniques that will enhance our effectiveness.

DirecTV, Viacom end 10-day channel blackout

BY RYAN NAKASHIMA Associated Press

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Viacom and DirecTV fought a bruising fight over fees to a draw Friday and agreed to a long-term deal that ended a 10-day channel blackout.

Their new deal restored MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and other channels to 20 million DirecTV customers and ensured those channels will be available to subscribers on computers and mobile devices in the coming months.

Fans on Twitter expressed relief. But which side won?

It's a split decision.

According to terms shared by both sides on Friday, DirecTV Group Inc. will pay about 20 percent more to carry Viacom Inc. channels on satellite TV lineups. That works out to about $600 million in the first year of a sevenyear deal. The companies agreed to annual singledigit percentage increases in subsequent years.

DirecTV was able to save itself about $500 million over the entire term by not taking the premium pay TV channel Epix. It said it also was able to send a message that it won't roll over every time a media company threatens to pull channels over fees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They realized we were not going to capitulate,â&#x20AC;? said Derek Chang, DirecTV's executive vice president of content strategy.

Investors met the outcome with a ho-hum as the deal was largely in line with expectations.

Shares of both companies edged downward Friday in a declining market.

Since the dispute resulted in a blackout the evening of July 10, Viacom shares are down 0.9 percent, closing Friday at $46.41,

while DirecTV shares are down 0.7 percent, closing at $48.33. Over the same period, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 1.3 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm not going to engage on who was the winner and who was the loser,â&#x20AC;? said Todd Juenger, an analyst with Bernstein Research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we've learned is the fair value of Viacom services, fully tested and vetted in a real marketplace negotiation.â&#x20AC;?

By eking out a large fee increase, Viacom said DirecTV is now paying a rate that is more in line with that of other distributors.

DirecTV's Chang even acknowledged that it had been paying significantly less than competitors for Viacom channels because the deal that just expired had been locked in seven years ago.

Viacom had argued that its networks account for 20 percent of what DirecTV subscribers are watching but cost DirecTV just 5 percent of its overall programming expense.

Under the new deal, the Viacom fees will come out to 6 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was important to get fair value for our networks,â&#x20AC;? Viacom spokesman Carl Folta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are still one of the most efficient programmers in their bouquet.â&#x20AC;?

By refusing to add Epix to its premium pay TV channel stable, DirecTV was able to save itself a big fixed cost over its entire subscriber base, as the flat fee would have been charged no matter how many subscribers choose to pay more for Epix, a movie channel that is half owned by Viacom.

Media companies typically try to sell rights to their channels as a package, so that fledgling channels are bundled with those already in

high demand. Adding Epix to DirecTV would have been a big win for Viacom, as it's now carried by only a handful of distributors, including rival satellite TV provider Dish Network Corp. But that was seen as unlikely, partly because Epix movies are available to Netflix subscribers 90 days after debuting on TV and the channel might have been hard to sell to customers.

The damage from the blackout to both sides was real but not permanent.

DirecTV spokesman Darris Gringeri said the company lost subscribers because of the dispute, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but against our subscriber base, it was not a significant number.â&#x20AC;?

Viacom lost out on 10 days' worth of fees from DirecTV â&#x20AC;&#x201D; roughly $14 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and took a short-term audience hit that will cost the company advertising revenue.

Both sides suffered brand damage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Viacom because it was tagged for being a root cause

of rising monthly TV bills, and DirecTV for not giving subscribers what they paid for. Even Comedy Central's Jon Stewart slammed network parent Viacom for acting like China in pulling some shows from the Internet as part of the dispute, hurting people who weren't DirecTV subscribers.

But the fight was short enough to forget about and move on. Plenty of disputes have lasted just a heartbeat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like ABC's 15-minute blackout of the Oscars to Cablevision subscribers in March 2010.

Others have dragged on for months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fortunate they were able to resolve it before the back and forth got any worse than it did,â&#x20AC;?

Barclays analyst Anthony DiClemente said.

DiClemente said the relatively quick resolution boded well for an end to AMC Networks Inc.'s continuing dispute with Dish, which has gone on since July 1.

WICHITA, Kan. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A widespread drought that's forcing ranchers to sell off animals has helped shrink the nation's cattle herd to its smallest number in at least four decades.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Friday that the number of cattle and calves in the United States totaled 97.8 million head as of July 1.

That's 2 percent less than a year ago. Beef cattle numbers were down 3 percent at 30.5 million head counted, while dairy cow numbers remained unchanged at 9.2 million.

Overall, it's the smallest cattle inventory since the agency began a July count in 1973.

Deadline nearing for Corinth Candy Classic

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The 33rd Corinth Candy Classic is just around the corner.

Play in the annual St. Jude fundraiser is set for July 2429 at the Corinth High School Tennis Complex.

The 32nd edition of the tournament sent $8,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

“The best way to describe this tournament is playing tennis for a great cause,” said Louise Perry, the tournament’s director. “The participants pay an entry fee and travel to participate.”

Registration for the junior division closed Saturday at midnight. Adults have until Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. to register.

All registration is being conducted on-line. Participants can register at www. mstennis.com and are encouraged to include their T-

shirt size during the process.

Tournament officials remind all potential participants that they must be a member of the United States Tennis Association to play.

“Anyone can join,” said Perry. “It’s open for all.”

Being a sanctioned USTA event tournament directors must attend a workshop each year as do the certified tournament referees.

“The rewarding part of working on these tourna-

ments -- aside from feeling that you are doing something to help the children in the area served by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital -is the outpouring of support and assistance -- financial and otherwise --that comes from our community,” said Perry.

Founded by the late Danny Thomas, St. Jude is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

Business owners have been willing to provide assistance to the worthy tournament.

These often range from goods and services to actual finances.

“The tournament committee really seeks to make these tournaments special events --- a little bit better than other tournaments,” said Perry “We want the visitors to our community to leave our city

with a good impression, so that they will want to come back next year to participate in a good cause.”

A court side pizza picnic will be provided for the Junior Tournament participants. The Adult Tournament picnic will be held Saturday night.

“It takes a lot to bring about a successful tournament,” said Perry.

Juniors will take the court July 24-26, with the adult division getting top billing on July 27-29.

The tournament honors the memory of Candy Hammond, the daughter of Doug and Martha Hammond, who died of leukemia shortly after her 10th birthday in 1964. The tournament was renamed in memory of Candy in 1977 after originally being called the Corinth Invitational.

Scott takes 4-shot lead into Open final round

BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England — The ball tumbled over the edge of a pot bunker and appeared to put Adam Scott in the worst spot he had been all day at the British Open.

All he saw was opportunity.

From the wet sand right of the 17th green, Scott had to clear two more pot bunkers to reach the green, with the flag only five paces from the edge. Scott was thinking about birdie, not trying to save par, so he confidently told caddie Steve Williams, “I can handle this.” The shot came out pure, trickled by the cup and settled a foot away.

The more relevant questions are one round away.

Can he handle a four-shot

lead, knowing this is a year when no lead appears safe?

Can he handle a leaderboard with four major champions among the top six names, including Tiger Woods? Can he handle the wind that is expected to finally arrive at Royal Lytham & St. Annes?

“I’m just happy to be in this position,” Scott said. “To be honest, I’m really excited about tomorrow.”

Scott has never had a better chance to end his long wait for a major — and he owes much of that to his long putter. He stayed in the game early with two key par saves, pulled away with three birdies around the turn and was solid at the end Saturday for a 2-under 68 and a four-shot lead over Graeme McDowell and Brandt Snede-

ker.

It’s the fourth time in the last nine majors that a player had a four-shot lead with one round to go. Rory McIlroy at the 2011 Masters is the only player who didn’t win. Scott has been so steady all week that he has put himself in position to become only the fourth Open champion with all rounds in the 60s.

“It was all pretty solid stuff, considering the circumstances and how much trouble there is on this golf course,” Scott said.

Scott narrowly missed a 20foot birdie putt on the final hole that would have given him a share of the 54-hole Open scoring record. He settled for 11-under 199 and will play in the final group with McDowell, who had a 67 to get

into the final group for the second straight time at a major.

Snedeker, who went from a one-shot lead to a six-shot deficit in seven holes, birdied two of his last three holes to salvage a 73.

Right behind them were three major champions, starting with the guy who has won 14 of them. Woods recovered from a sloppy start and was within three shots of the lead on the front nine until Scott pulled away. Woods missed a short par putt on the 15th and didn’t give himself many good looks at birdie on the back nine for a 70, leaving him five shots behind. Woods has never won a major when trailing going into the last round.

Harper returns from injury, Braves split doubleheader Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Bryce Harper returned from an ankle injury to single and score as a pinch-hitter, and Roger Bernadina had a tiebreaking hit in the seventh inning as the Washington Nationals earned a split of the day-night doubleheader with a 5-2 victory Saturday night.

Harper injured his ankle in the opener and was lifted after the second inning. The Braves won the first game 4-0 behind

Ben Sheets’ strong performance.

Bernadina, who entered as a defensive replacement after Harper fouled a bunt off his left ankle in the first inning of the first game, had five hits on the day including a seventh inning, go-ahead RBI single in the nightcap.

In between games, Nationals manager Davey Johnson said the MRI on Harper showed no break. He kept the 19-year-old out of the starting

lineup for Game 2.

Harper entered as a pinchhitter in the eighth with the Nationals leading 3-2.

The first-time All-Star singled, stole second and scored on Danny Espinosa’s single to right. Harper stayed in the game in right fielder in the ninth.

Espinosa eventually scored on shortstop Paul Janish’s fielding error.

John Lannan (1-0) pitched seven innings for the win.

Washington snapped a three-game losing streak and lead Atlanta in the NL East by 2 1/2 games.

Tyler Clippard pitched the ninth for his 16th save.

Cristhian Martinez (4-2) allowed a run in 1 1-3 innings of relief behind starter Randall Delgado.

In the opener, Sheets pitched six shutout innings, Brian McCann and Chipper Please see BRAVES | 9A

Bradley Wiggins all but clinches at Tour de France Associated Press

CHARTRES, France — For Bradley Wiggins, the champagne on the Champs-Elysees is about to flow.

He all but locked up the Tour de France title with a tour-de-force performance to win the final time trial — putting him on the cusp of becoming the first Briton to win cycling’s showpiece race.

Wiggins blew away the field in Saturday’s race against the clock in Stage 19, his second

Tour victory this year in a time trial, his specialty.

“I really wanted to go out there and finish with a bang, and fortunately I was able to do that,” said Wiggins, noting he realized the breadth of emotion when he spotted his mechanic in tears.

Even before the Tour started, Wiggins was the favorite.

The 32-year-old rider took the yellow jersey in Stage 7. Then came questions about the unity of his Sky Team, pre-race

preparations and his ability to get up mountains — all of which he put to rest.

There was also the absence of two-time Tour champion and cycling superstar Alberto Contador, who is serving a doping ban. That led many to wonder whether Wiggins was really the sport’s best.

Wiggins has been vocal in his criticism of doping in cycling and said the sport may be changing after the sport’s governing body put tough

controls in place.

“I think the Tour is a lot more human now with everything the UCI is doing,” he said, suggesting that dopers — and their intermittently astonishing performances — are being driven from the sport.

Wiggins is a three-time Olympic track champion who made the difficult transition to road racing. He crashed out the Tour a year ago with a Please see WIGGINS | 9A

SCOTT CONTINUED FROM 8A

Three-time major champion Ernie Els was solid in his round of 68 and was six back, along with former Masters champion Zach Johnson, who had a 66.

Even so, the biggest challenge might be the weather. If the forecast holds true — and there’s been no reason to believe that — the greatest defense of links golf could finally arrive with wind projected to gust up to 25 mph.

“It will be in Adam’s hands tomorrow if the conditions are as straightforward as they have been the last few days,” McDowell said. “Throw a bit of wind across this course like perhaps they are forecasting, he will have to go and work a lot harder, and he will have to go win it.

“He’s going to have to go win it anyway, for sure.”

McDowell was seven shots behind as he walked up to the 13th green and found three birdies coming in to get into the last group, just as he was at Olympic Club last month in the U.S. Open, where he was one putt away from forcing a playoff.

Snedeker opened this championship by playing 40 holes without a bogey, and then he couldn’t buy a par. He had to blast backward out of a bunker, chunked a pitch shot from the fairway, missed short putts and was reeling.

Snedeker rolled in a birdie on the 16th and stretched out his arms in mock wonder, and then finished with a birdie that could bode well for Sunday.

“It’s just one of those things where you’ve got to find out if you have some guts or don’t,” he said. “I could have packed up and gone home today, but I didn’t.”

Scott was becoming a forgotten star until he switched to the long putter in February of last year, and it has been the biggest reason for the turnaround — his runner-up at the Masters last year, winning his first World Golf Championship at Firestone, and now on the cusp of his first major.

Showing nerves on the opening tee, he hit into a bunker and played a beautiful shot from the back of the wet sand to 8 feet, holing the putt for par. Scott made another par putt from the same distance on the third hole. And in the middle of his run of birdies — including a 30-foot putt on the eighth — he escaped with par on the 10th hole by making one from 18 feet.

“To make a nice putt like that on the first and make par is obviously very settling,” Scott said.

“And then to do the same thing on 3, that’s been a hole that I haven’t parred this week. From there on, I was very settled into the round and started hitting fairways and greens.”

attempt came in the bottom of the day’s first inning. Limping and doubled over in pain for several moments, he completed the at-bat by striking out. Harper returned to center field in the second inning, but Bernadina replaced him on defense for the top of the third with the Nationals trailing 1-0. “(Bryce) was down hitting, trying to swing with it, and Michael Morse and LaRoche saw him and said he can’t even swing. So, that’s why I took him out,” Johnson said.

Riding the momentum of the earlier win — their third straight — the Braves jumped ahead 2-0 in the first. Batting with one on and two out, Chipper Jones stroked Lannan’s first offering

into the right-center gap for two-out, RBI double.

Freddie Freeman followed with an RBI hit.

Jones hit a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the first game.

Recalled from TripleA Syracuse, Lannan settled down and held the Braves scoreless over the next six innings. Despite a 4.89 ERA in the minors, the Nationals’ leader with 10 wins last season allowed only five hits over seven innings.

He walked two, struck out three and hit two batters before the sellout crowd of 40,007.

Including Friday’s loss, the Nationals failed to score for 15 innings before scratching across a run in the fifth and six innings against Delgado.

Trailing 2-0, Espinosa raced home from third

with two outs in the fifth on a wild pitch.

Washington loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth on two singles and a hit batter. Ian Desmond’s RBI groundout tied it at 2.

Also brought up from the minors to pitch game two, Delgado allowed two runs and six hits over six innings.

In his second start of the season and with light rain falling intermittently, Sheets threw 91 pitches, allowing five hits with six strikeouts and three walks.

Jackson struck out nine to match his season high while allowing five hits and two walks over seven innings. His one mistake was McCann’s solo homer in the second inning, the 16th of the season for the

Braves catcher and his seventh in 10 games.

Atlanta added another in the eighth as Michael Bourn scored on a wild pitch by reliever Henry Rodriquez. Jones, entering as a pinch-hitter in the ninth with a runner on and hit the first offering from Ryan Mattheus over the right field wall.

NOTES: With three RBIs, Jones has 1,601 for his career. ... Nationals OF Steve Lombardozzi and Freeman had their hitting streaks end at 13 and 11 games, respectively in the opener. ... Nationals OF Jayson Werth (wrist) finished 1 of 3 with a walk in his first rehab assignment at single-A Potomac.

Jones homered. Outdueling Nationals starter Edwin Jackson (5-6), Sheets (2-0) extended his scoreless innings streak to 12 in his return after missing last season because of Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.

Harper gave signs that he would play in the second game when he stepped into the on-deck circle in the seventh.

After Sandy Leon’s leadoff single and with the scored tied at two, Johnson instead turned to pinch-hitter Mark DeRosa, whose sacrifice bunt advanced Leon to second. One out later, Bernadina’s grounder into right field scored Leon.

broken collarbone. He envied Australia’s Cadel Evans, who had the elation of winning the yellow jersey.

“That was my motivation: I want to feel what he’s feeling,” Wiggins said.

The Team Sky leader obliterated the pack in the 33-mile ride from Bonneval to Chartres and punched the air and shouted as he crossed the finish line.

Sunday’s ride to the finish on Paris’ Champs-Elysees will be largely ceremonial — Wiggins is too far ahead for any competitor to erase his lead over the 75-mile ride from Rambouillet.

After Saturday’s stage, with victory secure, Wiggins sighed and looked skyward as he hoisted the winner’s bouquet.

“I have a lot of emotion right now,” he said.

“It’s the stuff of dreams to win the final time trial and seal the Tour.”

Wiggins was timed in 1 hour, 4 minutes, 13 seconds.

Countryman and teammate Christopher Froome was second, 1:16 behind.

Luis Leon Sanchez of Spain was third, 1:50 back. Overall, Wiggins has a 3:21 lead over Froome, who is second.

Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali is third, 6:19 back.

Riders set off one-byone in the race against the clock in reverse order of the standings, and Wiggins’ dominance was evident from the first time check. He was 12 seconds ahead of Froome after 81⁄2 miles.

Wiggins had a formidable lead coming into the stage. His only threat of any kind was from Froome, a successful time-trial rider, and less so from Nibali, who is not quite as strong in this discipline.

Despite rumblings

about behind-thescenes competition between them, Froome proved a faithful teammate to the end.

“As we saw today, he’s stronger than me,” Froome told French TV, after hugging Wiggins. “I’m very happy.

The (Sky) goal this year was to win the Tour with Bradley. To be second (for me) is an added plus.”

The big question mark concerned the riders below them: Whether young American Tejay Van Garderen could overtake Jurgen Van Den Broeck for fourth — he didn’t.

Or whether Frenchman Pierre Rolland, a strong climber but not a time trialer, would stay in the top 10 — he did.

ACHS teacher attends Tishomingo High School bar association institute teacher receives legion award Special to the Daily Corinthian

Special to the Daily Corinthian

In an effort to enhance the knowledge of secondary teachers of U.S. history, government, civics and law, the American Bar Association held the Seventh Annual Federal Trials and Great Debates in United States History Summer Institute for Teachers in late June, in Washington, D.C. Connie H. Lambert of Alcorn Central High School, in Glen, Miss., was one of 20 teachers selected to work with leading historians, federal judges and curriculum consultants on three landmark federal trials through curriculum developed by the Federal Judicial Center and the American Bar Association’s Division for Public Education. The institute was established to give teachers an inside view of federal court cases that never reach the Supreme Court but are significant.

Teachers study the essential legal questions each case presents and develop strategies to incorporate judicial history into their school’s history and government curricula.

The landmark federal trials they studied were Ex Parte Merryman, Chew Heong v. United States and the Chicago Seven Conspiracy Trial.

“This institute provides teachers with an extraordinary opportunity to gain insight and access to the federal judiciary through these important historical cases,” said Mabel C. McKinney-Browning, director of the ABA Division for Public Education.

“In addition, teachers collaborate throughout the institute to consider best practices to effectively incorporate these trials into their classroom. Teachers

Kathy Ward, recently retired counselor at Tishomingo County High School (TCHS), was presented the Department of Mississippi American Legion Educator of the Year Award in a presentation at the annual Legion's Department's Conference held in Tupelo, on Saturday, July 14.

Ward was selected over numerous other nominees from the entire State.

Educator of the Year Chairman, Legionnaire Stan Cantrell, when introduced to Mrs Ward asked, “Is there more than one of you? I can't believe that one person did all these things!”

During the presentation of the award, Legionnaire Cantrell broke from normal protocol and read in depth from Mrs Ward's accompanying letters of recommendations, citing some of her accomplishments and awards.

Some of these highlights of Ward's 2011-2012 accomplishments include: ■ 76 percent of the graduating class received

One of the institute’s highlights was a visit to the U.S. Supreme Court, where teachers observed a decision-making session and spoke with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The institute is cosponsored by the Federal Judicial Center and the American Bar Association Division for Public Edu-

cation.

With nearly 400,000 members, the American Bar Association is the world’s largest voluntary professional membership organization. As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education, and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.

Corinth PTO officer receives award Integrity Time, LLC recently honored Christie Frye for her work in teaching character education by presenting her with the Integrity Time Volunteer of the Year Award for 2012.

The Integrity Time Curriculum is a unique curriculum, which builds the character of children in age-appropriate ways by teaching them attributes of good character and how to apply them. A mixture of music, games, instruction, and role-play sets Integrity Time apart from other pro-

grams.

“We at Integrity Time strongly believe that children need to begin learning how to make good choices at a very early age in order to be well equipped to succeed both now and in the future. We have always been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Corinth Elementary School in pursuing this same goal,” says Sara Berry, CEO. This enthusiasm and commitment is certainly embodied in the dedication of Frye, parent of a

student at Corinth Elementary School. Frye went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that children understand what it means to have integrity in all aspects of their lives.

As a PTO officer at Corinth Elementary School, Frye devoted a great deal of time teaching Integrity Time to students herself, as well as coordinating the lesson schedule with the administration to ensure that the lessons coordinate with the principal’s morning messages.

Obama and Romney: Where they stand

BY CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A look at where Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney stand on a selection of issues:

OBAMA Abortion and birth control: Supports abortion rights.

Health care law requires contraceptives to be available for free for women enrolled in workplace health plans, including access to morningafter pill, which does not terminate a pregnancy but which some religious conservatives consider tantamount to an abortion pill. Supported requiring girls 16 and under to get a prescription for the morning-after pill, available without a prescription for older women.

■■■

Debt: A fourth-straight year of trillion-dollar deficits is projected. Federal spending is estimated at 23.5 percent of gross domestic product this year, up from about 20 percent in the previous administration, and is forecast to decline to 21.8 percent by 2016. Won approval to raise debt limit to avoid default.

Calls for tackling the debt with a mix of spending cuts and revenue increases. Central to Obama’s plan is to let Bush-era tax cuts expire for couples making more than $250,000. That would generate more than $700 billion over 10 years. Also, would set a 30 percent tax rate on taxpayers making more than $1 million, increasing taxes for some but not all millionaires and billionaires. That would generate about $47 billion over 10 years. Reached agreement with congressional Republicans to cut $487 billion in military spending over a decade.

■■■

Economy: Term marked by high unemployment, a deep recession that began in previous administration and officially ended within six months, and gradual recovery with persistently high jobless rates. Unemployment rate jumped to 8.3 percent from 7.8 percent in February 2009, Obama’s first full month in office, and has remained above 8 percent ever since. The stretch of unemployment above 8 percent is the longest on record dating to 1948. Businesses have added jobs for more than two years straight, pushing down the unemployment rate from 9.8 percent in March 2010 to 8.2 percent and holding. Unemployment hit a high water mark of 10 percent in October 2009. Of the 8.8 million jobs lost during the recession and its aftermath, 3.8 million have been regained. Obama responded to recession with a roughly $800 billion stimulus plan that nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated cut the unemployment rate by 0.7 to 1.8 percentage points. Continued implementation of Wall Street and auto industry bailouts begun under George W. Bush. Proposes tax breaks for U.S. manufacturers producing domestically or repatriating jobs from abroad, and tax penalties for U.S. companies outsourcing jobs. Won approval of South Korea, Panama and Colombia free-trade pacts begun under previous administration, completing the biggest round of trade liberalization since the North American Free Trade Agreement and other pacts of that era.

■■■

Education: Has approved waivers freeing states from the most onerous requirements of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law with their agreement to improve how they prepare and evaluate students. “Race to the Top” competition has rewarded winning states with billions of dollars for pursuing education policies Obama

supports. Won approval for a college tax credit worth up to $10,000 over four years and more money for Pell grants for low-income college students. Wants Congress to agree to reduce federal aid to colleges that go too far in raising tuition.

■■■

Energy and Environment: Ordered temporary moratorium on deep-water drilling after the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico but has pushed for more oil and gas drilling overall. Approved drilling plan in Arctic Ocean opposed by environmentalists. Proposes Congress give oil market regulators more power to control price manipulation by speculators and stiffer fines for doing so.

Achieved historic increases in fuel economy standards for automobiles that will save money at the pump while raising the cost of new vehicles. Achieved first-ever regulations on heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming and on toxic mercury pollution from power plants. Spent heavily on green energy and has embraced nuclear power as a clean source.

Failed to persuade a Democratic Congress to pass limits he promised on carbon emissions. Shelved plan to toughen health standards on lung-damaging smog. Rejected Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas but supports fast-track approval of a segment of it. Proposes ending subsidies to oil industry but has failed to persuade Congress to do so.

■■■

Gay rights: Supports legal recognition of same-sex marriage, a matter decided by states. Opposed that recognition in 2008 presidential campaign — and in 2004 Senate campaign — while supporting the extension of legal rights and benefits to same-sex couples in civil unions. Achieved repeal of the military ban on openly gay service members. Has not achieved repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal recognition of same-sex marriages and affirms the right of states to refuse to recognize such marriages. Administration has ceased defending the law in court but it remains on the books. Directed government to require all hospitals that get Medicare and Medicaid financing to grant visitation privileges to gay and lesbian partners of patients. But has declined to issue an executive order barring federal contractors from discriminating against gay employees, holding out instead for congressional action to extend such protection to workers in all sectors. In 1996 Illinois state Senate campaign, stated “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages,” a position he later abandoned at the federal level and now embraces again.

“I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”

■■■

Health care: Achieved landmark overhaul putting U.S. on path to universal coverage now that Supreme Court has upheld the law’s mandate for almost everyone to obtain insurance.

Under the law, insurers will be banned from denying coverage to people with preexisting illness, tax credits for middle-income and lowincome people will subsidize premiums, people without work-based insurance will have access to new markets and small business gets help for offering insurance. Millions of uninsured are to be reached through expansion of Medicaid with hefty subsidies to states but Supreme Court limited federal power to penalize states that want to opt out of the expansion.

Law’s biggest changes start in 2014. “Nobody is going to

go broke just because they get sick. And Americans will no longer be denied or dropped by their insurance companies just when they need care the most. That’s what change is.”

■■■

Immigration: Issued directive in June that immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children be exempted from deportation and granted work permits if they apply, a step that could benefit 800,000 to 1.4 million. “It’s a temporary measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while offering some justice to these young people.” Took the step after failing to deliver on a promised immigration overhaul, with the defeat of legislation that would have created a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants enrolled in college or enlisted in the armed forces. Says he is still committed to it. Government has deported a record number of illegal immigrants under Obama, nearly 400,000 in each of the last three years.

■■■

Social Security: Has not proposed a comprehensive plan to address Social Security’s long-term financial problems. During budget negotiations in 2011, proposed adopting a new measurement of inflation that would reduce annual increases in Social Security benefits. The proposal would reduce the long-term financing shortfall by about 25 percent, according to the Social Security actuaries.

■■■

Taxes: Wants to raise taxes on the wealthy and ensure they pay 30 percent of their income at minimum. Supports extending Bush-era tax cuts for everyone making under $200,000, or $250,000 for couples. But in 2010, agreed to a twoyear extension of the lower rates for all. Wants to let the top tax rates go back up 3 to 4 points to 39.6 percent and 36 percent, and raise rates on capital gains and dividends for the wealthy.

Health care law provides for tax on highest-value health insurance plans. Together with Congress, built a firstterm record of significant tax cuts for families and business, some temporary.

■■■

Terrorism: Approved the raid that found and killed Osama bin Laden, set policy that U.S. would no longer use harsh interrogation techniques, a practice that had essentially ended later in George W. Bush’s presidency. Largely carried forward Bush’s key anti-terrorism policies, including detention of suspects at Guantanamo Bay despite promise to close the prison. Also has continued with military commissions instead of civilian courts for detainees and invocation of state secrets privilege in court. Expanded use of unmanned drone strikes against terrorist targets in Pakistan and Yemen.

ROMNEY Abortion and birth control: Opposes abortion rights.

Previously supported them.

Says state law should guide abortion rights, and Roe v.

Wade should be reversed by a future Supreme Court. But says Roe v. Wade is law of the land until that happens, and should not be challenged by federal legislation seeking to overturn abortion rights affirmed by that court decision. “So I would live within the law, within the Constitution as I understand it, without creating a constitutional crisis. But I do believe Roe v. Wade should be reversed to allow states to make that decision.” Said he would end federal aid to Planned Parenthood.

■■■

Debt: Defended 2008 bailout of financial institutions as a necessary step to avoid the system’s collapse, opposed the bailout of General Mo-

tors and Chrysler and said any such aid should not single out specific companies.

Would cap federal spending at 20 percent of gross domestic product by end of first term. Stayed silent on the debt-ceiling deal during its negotiation, only announcing his opposition to the final agreement shortly before lawmakers voted on it.

Instead, endorsed GOP “cut, cap and balance” bill that had no chance of enactment. Favors constitutional balanced budget amendment. Proposes broad but largely unspecified cuts in federal spending.

Among the few details: 10 percent cut in federal workforce, elimination of $1.6 billion in Amtrak subsidies and cuts of $600 million in support for the arts and broadcasting.

■■■

Economy: Lower taxes, less regulation, balanced budget, more trade deals to spur growth. Replace jobless benefits with unemployment savings accounts. Proposes repeal of the (Dodd-Frank) law toughening financial-industry regulations after the meltdown in that sector. Proposes repealing the (Sarbanes-Oxley) law tightening accounting regulations in response to corporate scandals, to ease the accountability burden on smaller businesses. “We don’t want to tell the world that Republicans are against all regulation. No, regulation is necessary to make a free market work. But it has to be updated and modern.”

■■■

Education: Supported the federal accountability standards of No Child Left Behind law. In 2007, said he was wrong earlier in career when he wanted the Education Department shut because he came to see the value of the federal government in “holding down the interests of the teachers’ unions” and putting kids and parents first.

Has said the student testing, charter-school incentives and teacher evaluation standards of Obama’s “Race to the Top” competition “make sense” although the federal government should have less control of education.

■■■

Energy and environment: Supports opening the Atlantic and Pacific outer continental shelves to drilling, as well as Western lands, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and offshore Alaska; and supports exploitation of shale oil deposits. Wants to reduce obstacles to coal, natural gas and nuclear energy development, and accelerate drilling permits in areas where exploration has already been approved for developers with good safety records.

Says green power has yet to become viable and the causes of climate change are unknown. Proposes to remove carbon dioxide from list of pollutants controlled

by Clean Air Act and amend clean water and air laws to ensure the cost of complying with regulations is balanced against environmental benefit. Says cap and trade would “rocket energy prices.”

Blames high gas prices on Obama’s decisions to limit oil drilling in environmentally sensitive areas and on overzealous regulation.

■■■

Gay rights: Opposes legal recognition of same-sex marriage and says it should be banned with a constitutional amendment, not left to states. “Marriage is not an activity that goes on within the walls of a state.” Also opposes civil unions “if they are identical to marriage other than by name,” but says states should be left to decide what rights and benefits should be allowed under those unions.

Says certain domestic partnership benefits —largely unspecified — as well as hospital visitation rights are appropriate but “others are not.” Says he would not seek to restore

the ban on openly gay military members. Asserted in 2002 campaign for Massachusetts governor that “all citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of sexual preference,” in tune with statements years earlier as a Senate candidate that equality for gays and lesbians should be a “mainstream concern.”

But did not explicitly support marriage recognition and, as governor, opposed same-sex marriage when courts legalized it in Massachusetts. “My view is that marriage itself is between a man and a woman.”

■■■

Health care: Promises to work for the repeal of the federal health care law modeled largely after his universal health care achievement in Massachusetts because he says states, not Washington, should drive policy on the uninsured. Proposes to guarantee that people who are “continuously covered” for a certain period be protected against losing insurance if they get sick, leave their job and need another policy.

Would expand individual tax-advantaged medical savings accounts and let the savings be used for insurance premiums as well as personal medical costs. Would let insurance be sold across state lines to expand options, and restrict malpractice awards to restrain health care costs.

Introduce “generous” but undetermined subsidies to help future retirees buy private insurance, or let them have the option of traditional Medicare, with a gradually increasing age to qualify for benefits.

■■■

Immigration: Favors U.S.Mexico border fence, opposes education benefits to illegal immigrants. Opposes offering legal status to illegal immigrants who attend college, but would do so for those who serve in the armed forces. Establish an immigrationstatus verification system for employers and punish them if they hire non-citizens who do not prove their legal status. Proposes more visas for holders of advanced degrees in math, science and engineering who have U.S. job offers, and would award permanent residency to foreign students who graduate from U.S. schools with a degree in those fields. Would end immigration caps for spouses and minor children of legal immigrants. Although criticizing Obama’s directive protecting immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children, would not say if he would reverse it, pledging instead an unspecified “civil but resolute” long-term fix to illegal immigration.

■■■

Social Security: Protect the status quo for people 55 and over but, for the next generations of retirees, raise the retirement age for full benefits by one or two years and reduce inflation increases in benefits for wealthier recipients.

■■■

Taxes: Keep Bush-era tax cuts for all incomes and drop all tax rates further, by 20 percent, bringing the top rate, for example, down to 28 percent from 35 percent and the lowest rate to 8 percent instead of 10 percent. Curtail deductions, credits and exemptions for the wealthiest.

End Alternative Minimum Tax for individuals, eliminate capital gains tax for families making below $200,000 and cut corporate tax to 25 percent from 35 percent. Does not specify which tax breaks or programs he would curtail to help cover costs.

■■■

Terrorism: No constitutional rights for foreign terrorism suspects. In 2007, refused to rule out use of waterboarding to interrogate terrorist suspects. In 2011, his campaign said he does not consider waterboarding to be torture.

Shooting consistently with fingers takes practice Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s archery gear matches what most sportsman want for their style of hunting.

M o s t bows on the marDavid ket are Green l i g h t weight, Outdoors compact, shoot ultra-fast and much easier to master in making accurate shots when equipped with the appropriate accessories.

A short lightweight bow provides for easier handling and better maneuverability. Aside from that, they are practically useless to the hunter who chooses to continue hunting the old school way, shooting using only fingers. The draw length on modern day compound

bows are simply too short to short to be used without the aid of a release.

That is, unless you happen to be small in stature and have a shorter than normal wing-span. Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relying on the old style method these days are faced with the proposition of using a recurve, longbow, or locating and purchasing a used older model compound bow that is still in good condition.

Though very few hunters remain who shoot without the aid of a mechanical release, there are a couple of advantages.

The hunter doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to keep up with and depend on extra gadgets to make the shot, and the need for less gadgets means less expense.

The one disadvantage, if it can be called that, is it takes lots and lots of patience and practice in

Correction Due to incorrect information supplied at the catfish tourney, there was an error in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column.

The team of Duck Matlock, Ricky Matlock and Terri Switcher won the Bass Pro Shops Big Cat Quest World Championship of Catfishing at Pickwick, Tenn. order to shoot consistent groupings. Both are equally important, but maybe an asterisk should have been placed by the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;patience.â&#x20AC;?

The form in shooting with fingers or a release is exactly the same. Stand with your feet perpendicular to the arrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desired path with the bow held out front, like aiming

a rifle free handed. Keep the bow hand relaxed but stable on the riser, aligning the eye, arrow hand, and arrow with the target.

As the bow is drawn, the bow arm should be kept flexed outward slightly to keep the string from striking the arm or garment upon release of the arrow.

Anyone who has felt the sting of the string slapping their arm knows how much it smarts and will make every effort to hold proper form so it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again.

There are other similarities between the two styles of shooting. The shooting hand must be in the same position on every shot, release of the arrow should be light and effortless to avoid plucking the string or jerking the trigger, and the bow arm must remain motionless until the arrow hitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the target.

The main differences are how the fingers are used to make a shot and the way in which a bow is drawn. To draw a bow using fingers, push out with your bow arm and pull back the string with the other simultaneously as the bow is being raised.

This allows the bow to be at full draw as it reaches the shooting position.

A few hunters have their on unique way in how they shoot using fingers, but the correct way is to have one finger on the string above the arrow and two below, and then gently but smoothly let the string roll off your fingertips when releasing the shot. Having your fingers configured like this provides better control of the arrow.

Archery season for deer is still roughly two months away, but time is of the essence if you

havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already picked up a bow and tried to get your groove on, especially for those planning on trying to shoot the old school way. Like I said earlier, being able to shoot a bow consistently using fingers takes lots and lots of practice.

But there very well could be a reward for your hard work and dedication at the end. The sense of accomplishment in harvesting a deer with a bow using only fingers is about as rewarding as it gets.

Mansfield Lovel was ‘The Goat of Corinth’

BY TOM PARSONS NPS Ranger

If you look up the word “scapegoat” in the dictionary, there are three definitions: 1. A goat upon whose head was symbolically placed the sins of the people, after which he was suffered to escape into the wilderness.

2. Someone who is punished for the errors of others.

3. A Civil War general whose actions lead to devastating defeat and personal ruin.

Okay, the third definition is my own, but it fits.

If there was such a thing as a Civil War dictionary and you looked up “scapegoat” for the Battle of Corinth, you would undoubtedly come across a photo of Confederate Maj. Gen. Mansfield Lovell. For years he was blamed for the crushing loss suffered by the South here in Corinth. Are the accusations of Lovell false or was he really to blame for the disaster?

Lovell was born in Washington, D.C., the son of a former surgeon general of the United States.

He graduated from West Point in 1842 with classmates William S. Rosecrans and Earl Van Dorn — the two opposing commanders at Corinth some 20 years later. Lovell took a wound at the Battle of Chapultepec in the Mexican War and then left the U.S. Army to become the deputy street commissioner in New York City.

When the war broke

out, he left the North and cast his lot with the Confederacy. He was quickly appointed major general and given the unenviable task of defending New Orleans. Gen. Braxton Bragg had wanted the job and was furious when he was passed over. Lovell, Bragg said, was “very competent, and but for his insubordinate vanity would be a fine soldier.

Still we could do as well without him and he can’t make me believe he was not bought.”

The people of New Orleans had an even lower opinion of Lovell and it didn’t get any better when the city fell without much of a fight. He was later exonerated of any guilt for losing the biggest city in the South, but he was out of a job until he was assigned to lead one of Gen. Van Dorn’s divisions. He had hardly settled into the new position when the Corinth Campaign was launched and Lovell was leading his three brigades to Cross City.

As the army approached Corinth, there was grumbling in the ranks that Van Dorn might have bitten off more than he could chew. Lovell dismissed the nay-sayers, “If we can not succeed, we had better lay down our arms and go home.”

On the morning of Oct. 3, it was Lovell’s troops who opened the fight and they won success, driving the enemy from Oliver’s Hill. His regiments drove a division from the heights, captured the

Confederate Maj. Gen. Mansfield Lovel “Lady Richardson,” and then ran out of steam.

The hour of work his men had put in seemed to satisfy Lovell and he allowed his men to rest. The fighting went on for another eight hours, but Lovell’s division did little more than march another mile closer to town.

His men had been in an admirable position to flank the Union army before they could reach the safety of the inner line of fortifications. By all appearances, Lovell had lost

the stomach for the fight.

Van Dorn believed he could finish off the Union army in the morning and gave orders for an attack en echelon. This means he would attack first with his division on the left, then the center and finally with Lovell’s division on the right. The attack was a little late getting started, but the plan was followed until it was time for Lovell to pitch in.

He never did.

Gen. Dabney Maury, commanding the divi-

sion in the center, was incensed at the feeble activity exhibited on the right. “I cannot recount the events of the Corinth Campaign without placing the cause of failure where it belongs – on Gen. Lovell. He was so inactive, the enemy’s commander reports his attack a ‘feint.’”

It was true. Lovell did no more than shift some of his troops around and never did launch his attack. One of his more aggressive subordinates fired some artillery against the enemy works, but the return fire was so heavy the action was soon called off.

Less than half a mile away, Confederates had broken through the Union line and made it all the way down to the railroad crossing. But when they looked to the west for the expected reinforcements, they saw nothing but soldiers in blue. The attack failed, Van Dorn retreated and everybody blamed Lovell.

Gen. Lovell wasn’t too concerned. In his official report he congratulated his men on making it through the fight with such slight losses and later told his son he was satisfied with his part in the battle. He even suggested it might be a good idea to return to Corinth and have another go at the enemy.

Why didn’t Lovell attack?

A good question, and one that could have been answered that morning

by any Confederate with a pair of binoculars.

Lovell’s division was positioned on the ridge overlooking Turner Creek, pretty much parallel with the modern Gaylean Road. He was facing the strongest portion of the Union line. The heavy guns from three of the Union forts (Robinett, Williams and Phillips) were capable of throwing projectiles weighing 20, 30 and even 64 pounds.

Between the forts were four brigades of Union troops behind protective earthworks and rifle pits. In addition, 16 field artillery pieces waited to throw in as well. The Federal line fairly bristled with firepower.

If Lovell had attacked, he would have added hundred of names to the casualty list and to what end?

Even if he had attacked, it’s very doubtful his men would have even made it to the Union line. Of all the men who blamed Lovell for the loss, none came from his own ranks.

They had seen the impregnable defenses with their own eyes and they counted their blessings.

As for Lovell, his reputation was ruined and his war was over. A few weeks after the battle, he was relieved of his duties and was never again given another command.

(Tom Parson’s articles appear Sunday in the Daily Corinthian. He is a park ranger at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center.)

Opposing sides differed in burying dead from Battle of Iuka The day after the Battle of Iuka, Federal troops searched the battlefield for the dead.

Upon going forward to the ground on which the great fight had occurred, the men discovered the guns of the 11th Ohio Battery that had been captured by Gen. Price’s men at such great sacrifice. The cannons were standing in the road between the two lines of battle, about 100 yards in front of the position where they had been taken. Upon closer examination, the Yankees found that the retreating Rebels had spiked the guns with two-penny nails in their vents.

The dead lay thickly scattered on the ridge that had been occupied by the 5th Iowa and also in the woods to the rear and northwest, where the Union troops had slaughtered so many of each other. In the low ground behind the battery, 12 horses belonging to two caissons had become tangled together and were piled up in a heap resembling a pyramid of horseflesh.

Some below were wounded and others dead. On top of the heap with his hind feet entangled down among the dead and wounded beneath him, was a noble looking animal with head and ears erect, his right foreleg bent over the neck of a horse beneath him,

and his eyes wide open. Out of his nostrils there extended, like a great RaNae w h i t e Vaughn b e a r d , foam fulHistorically ly a foot Speaking long and streaked with purple. He was dead.

One of the Federals later said that it was the saddest and most awful spectacle of war that he had viewed during his entire 4-1⁄2 years of service in the Civil War. The dead of the Union Army were collected and buried in large graves, laid side by side, with their blankets wrapped around them. In Lyla McDonald’s history of Iuka she said (in 1923) that they were buried “on the hills back of the school and boarding house,” and that “after the war the Federal dead were taken up and carried in boxcars to Corinth where they were interred in the National Cemetery.”

Rosecrans’ men were not as careful about burying the Confederate dead.

According to Col. Oscar Jackson of the 63rd Ohio, “(they) were buried where ever they fell all over the field, at best in a careless manner.” Most of the Confederates that died in battle, and subsequently

died of their wounds or disease, were interred in mass in the large trench in Shady Grove Cemetery.

Ten days after the battle, when Cyrus Boyd walked over the field of carnage, he discovered about 40 men buried in one grave “besides numerous other graves scattered all through the woods ... saw many of the enemies’ [sic] dead lying around not more than half covered. The ground in many places was white as snow with creeping worms. The darkness of the forest and the terrible mortality made it one of the most horrible places I was ever in.”

One of the men killed in the Iuka battle was W.P. Crawley of Company C of the 3rd Texas Cavalry Regiment. The 3rd Texas, a part of Hébert’s brigade, was involved in the thickest of the battle with a total of 96 wounded and killed out of 388 men in the regiment. Only about four or five of Crawley’s friends knew it, but he carried a belt of gold around his waist beneath his clothes.

Crawley, along with W. P. Bowers, Carter Caldwell, and W. T. Harris, were the four men killed who were in Company C. Samuel B. Barron was one of the men who knew that Crawley carried the gold belt around his waist and said in his reminiscences after the war that he pre-

sumed that the gold belt was buried with Crawley in Iuka.

After the dead were buried, Gen. Rosecrans ordered Hamilton’s and Stanley’s divisions to Barnett’s. Colonel Jackson describes the march: “After burying our own and the enemy’s dead, we marched back on the road by which we had come, as far as Barnett’s Cross Roads and encamped.

We were very scarce of rations, many having lost their haversacks. I dropped mine during the battle, and this morning I was glad to borrow a piece of pilot bread and to find a haversack containing a fine, large piece of mess pork. I had no scruples about eating of it and shared it among several grateful officers and men.”

Jackson recounted his feelings as he passed the ruins of Mrs. Moore’s house place, which had been burned by the Federals on the march to Iuka: “When we moved forward everything was a blaze, and today as we returned, nothing remains but chimneys and blackened logs to mark the place where lived these double scoundrels, traitors, and guerillas. This is the way to fight them, and the men feel that they have a commander who fights Rebels in earnest.

It has been supposed by some that the burning buildings gave the enemy notice of our approach and caused them to come out and meet us, but this is not certain.”

Finally, the men were back at Barnett’s again.

Jackson recorded in his diary the following details of camp life: “When we reached Barnett’s, we killed several fine beeves [sic], and I never relished anything better than I did this evening a piece of beef’s liver, grained with salt and roasted on the end of a stick. To make coffee on the march, the boys provide themselves with an empty tin can with a wire stretched across the top for a bail. They put the coffee and water in this little can which they carry with them, and holding it on a stick in the flame of a camp fire, soon have coffee boiling.”

Meanwhile in Iuka, a letter to Miss Annie Parks had been found in her yard on the eve of the battle. She never learned the fate of the writer: Headquarters Cavalry Brigade September 16, ‘62, 4 o’clock p.m.

“Miss Anna: The enemy is advancing in heavy force on both sides of our flanks. An engagement is almost inevitable. Before mixing in the ‘horrid din and strife of the

battlefield’, I must return you my sincere thanks for your kindness to one who was a stranger in a strange land. If I do not live to thank you in person, I know that there is One above who never permits a kind action to go unrewarded. If I fall, please forward to St. Louis, to the following address, ‘Mrs. Kate A. Bacon, St. Louis, Mo.,’ what you can learn or hear concerning my end.

“If I do not fall, you will see me again. It may be foolish for me to talk of presentiments, but I feel different from what I ever have before on going into an engagement. But I have given myself to my country.

“God bless you! I have no time to write more.

You may think this bold, but this is no time for ceremony. That God may protect you is the prayer of your admirer.

Charles E. Bacon.”

Kid Dyn-o-Mite is a senior citizen, still on road

BY ALLEN G. BREED AP National Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. — Just like in the theme song, Jimmie Walker is scratchin’ and survivin’.

At 65, “Kid Dyn-o-Mite!” is a senior citizen, and his comedy career has come full circle.

Raised in the projects of the South Bronx, Walker got his start opening community rallies for the militant Black Panthers, then playing the clubs around New York.

His big break came in 1973, with his first national TV appearance, on ABC’s “Jack Paar Tonight.”

“I’m from the ghetto,” he joked. “I’m here on the exchange program. You can imagine what they sent back there.”

His star turn as James “J.J.” Evans Jr. on the hit television series “Good Times” made him a household name, and his catch phrase part of the lexicon. At the end of the 1970s, Time magazine dubbed him “Comedian of the Decade.”

But when the show ended in 1979, after six seasons, Walker faded largely into the background.

These days, Walker is on the road doing his standup routine about 45

weeks out of the year. He’s also promoting his justreleased book, “DYN-OMITE!: Good Times, Bad Times, Our Times — A Memoir,” co-written with Sal Manna.

In it, he writes of going from being “too black for TV” to later being accused of “cooning it up.” He also dishes on “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno, who actually wrote jokes for Walker during the latter’s heyday.

“Show business is like a greased pole — even if you have climbed to the top, sooner or later you are going to slide back down.

I still climb the pole every day,” he writes. “I may not reach the top again, but at least my butt is off the ground!”

In the foreword, comedian David Brenner says he’s tired of hearing other black comics “make fun of Jimmie, referring to him as a Stepin Fetchit type.”

“What they should acknowledge,” he says, “is that if it weren’t for Jimmie Walker busting through, thanks to ‘Good Times,’ TV’s white, glass ceiling, they would still be black, but they wouldn’t be comedians.”

Walker — his head shaved, and no longer string-bean thin — recently appeared at Raleigh’s

Goodnights comedy club.

In an interview with The Associated Press, he talks about his book, Leno and life on the road.

■■■

AP: Obviously, when you started out, there weren’t that many black comedians out there.

How has the landscape changed?

Walker: I think the black comedy, because of Pryor, has changed. Everybody wants to be Richard and, you know, it’s the old Lloyd Bentsen line: I KNEW Richard Pryor.

And you’re no Richard Pryor. There’s ONE Richard Pryor. It’s DONE. It’s over.

Time for people to move in a different direction. And the language has gotten a little dirty. I think it hurts us, in terms of bookings. Because most comedy clubs think that black comics are going to be dirty. And that’s a bad thing for us. We don’t need that.

AP: Do you miss being on TV on a regular basis?

Walker: Well, it’s always good being on a TV show. Because what it does is, it exposes you to a lot of people. People see you constantly if you’re on all the time. ... You can kid yourself and say, ‘No, I’m better than that.’ Televi-

Horoscopes Sunday, July 22, 2012

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

The annual entrance of the sun in Leo electrifies the atmosphere with a golden surge of power. This transit jumpstarts passions and begins epic quests. Nothing seems too grand to pursue with Leo’s royal sense of entitlement fueling the mission. The bigger the dream the more likely it is to engage our full attention.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your commitment to others will guide your way. This makes life more enjoyable for you because your involvement keeps you from over-thinking or being self-focused to a fault.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even though you may not be paid in dollars for most or any of today’s efforts, you will be compensated, and you will have a rather strong opinion as to the adequacy of that compensation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many claim that family is one of the most important elements of their lives, but few act on the claim with as much passion and commitment as you show loved ones today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Cover the basics so you can move on. Once material needs are satisfied, it is easier to focus on your need for attention, affection and the general sense that what you’re doing matters to those around you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Something strange happens when you put your own goals on the back burner and strive to advance another person’s goals. You suddenly become more confident and relaxed. It’s what gets you recognized as a leader.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You go the extra mile to understand where loved ones are coming from, and it pays off. There’s a sense of flow happening in your personal life. Your quality of life improves when your relationships improve.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re somewhat of an open book right now.

Maybe this is brave, or maybe it just takes too much energy for you to guard your heart. The way you look at a person suggests that you might be falling in love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). For you, it’s not enough to feel a social responsibility. You won’t be satisfied unless you are actively involved in making things better. You’ll get the perfect chance to do this today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Sometimes your thoughts line up in a neat line, and other times they pingpong unpredictably. This is a day when one thought leads to the next, purposefully taking you in a certain direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ve applied yourself to a task with great energy and commitment. It’s not indulgent but necessary to balance the hard work of last week with self-care, rest and play.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It may take you a beat to get “into” what your loved ones are “into,” but once you get in step, you’ll happily share activities, memories and dreams.

What could be better than this?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get the inspiration you need. Learning a little about a person will make you want to know much more. You have a voracious appetite for the details.

Cryptoquip

sion is the way to go. Better than movies. Better than anything else. ...

AP: I realized the other day, Kid Dyn-o-mite, you’re 65 years old, right?

I mean, you’re a senior citizen.

Walker: Yes, I can get free food at Denny’s now.

Half price. ...

AP: So, are you in AARP? Walker: You get it automatically. They cannot, they send it to you. Whenever I get something from them or anybody else, Social Security, you go, “I guess they must have seen the act. It’s all over.

Get out.”

AP: Is this you kind of being funny or you being serious about yourself?

Walker: It’s the reality of life. I’m a reality-ist — if there’s such a word as that. I didn’t go to college, so I don’t know if there’s such a word. But realityist — I’m THAT guy.

AP: What is your reality?

Walker: The reality is you’re a road comic.

You’re out here trying to get a laugh. You’re trying to put tushies in the seats. You hope the majority of people that see you like you. If you come back again you hope they come back to see you. And that’s the reality. You go

from town to town, doing your little jokes. And that’s the deal.

AP: Do you ever get tired of “dyn-o-mite?”

Walker: It’s good that people like ANYTHING that you do. Because enough people think you SUCK, believe me.

Enough people hate you.

Enough people go, “He’s horrible. I will KILL him if I ever see him.” So if you get a majority of people that go, “I LIKE that.” You go, “Wow! OK! Somebody likes SOMETHING.” No, I don’t do it. But it isn’t like an insult, because people remember something that you did. That’s a GOOD thing.

AP: What do you see your future as?

Walker: Road comic.

That’s it. Just a road guy ’til I drop, which may be tomorrow. ... Unless somebody, a friend of mine, gets a TV show and says, “Hey. This is my friend. Put him on.” That’s the only way THAT’LL happen. ... Nobody’s looking for Jimmie Walker. (Laughs). No GOOD people, anyway. ...

(Steven) Spielberg’s not saying, “Boy. If we could get Jimmie Walker, that’s going to make this project happen.” ... I have no problem being an uncle, a whacky uncle, a kooky

neighbor — whatever they want to do. ... No starring role needed. Secondary’s fine.

AP: I understand you have some things to say about Leno (in the book).

Walker: Leno has not done well by the comedy community. Because he has not ... let people on the show to do what was done for him. ... I think that in his 30 years, he hasn’t broken one comic.

And that’s a sad record.

He needs to do better than that. And I’m not happy with that situation. I think that Leno has let us all down — in that area. ...

AP: What is success for you now?

Walker: Well, success.

I’m not sure that’s available to Jimmie Walker.

I think just making a living is what we’re fighting for now. That’s all we do.

That’s all we’ve ever done.

That’s the end of it. And it is not anything major, or anything like that. Go out and get your laughs, try to do the best you can.

Hopefully, the audience responds. And that’s it.

There’s no major thing that, BANG, that Jimmie Walker’s going to be this Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, you know, Daniel Tosh guy. NOT gonna happen.

Just a road guy.

7th graders required to get Tdap vaccination Students who will be entering the seventh grade for the 2012-2013 school year will be required to get a vaccination prior to the first day of school.

Mississippi is joining 41 other states in requiring a recent Tdap vaccination for all students entering the seventh grade.

Students should obtain a form to turn into the

principal’s office verifying that they did receive the vaccination once it has been administered.

According to the Mississippi Department of Health, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccination provides protection against whooping cough (pertussis), a highly contagious disease that can be severe or fatal, especially in very young

children.

Infants who are too young to be vaccinated against pertussis must be protected by ensuring that adolescents and adults around them cannot carry the disease.

Students may receive the Tdap from their family physician or from the Alcorn County Health Department.

The immunity received

from early childhood vaccination against pertussis weakens over time.

Because pertussis is highly contagious, adolescents can contract the disease and easily transmit it to younger children and infants.

Pertussis, especially among infants, is now an increasing problem in Mississippi and the United States as a whole.

According to MDH, teens at this age also qualify for other recommended vaccinations which you may wish to schedule at the same time.

Additional recommended vaccinations include those against meningococcal disease, human papillomavirus (HPV), and a varicella (chickenpox) booster for those who did not receive

one at an earlier age.

In order to enter school, all students entering the seventh grade must have documentation from a physician verifying that they have received a recent Tdap vaccination (at age seven or later).

This includes new students, current students and transfer students in both public and private schools.

Strategies can help reduce cost of buying school clothes

BY BONNIE COBLENTZ MSU Ag Communications

Creativity and planning ahead can make buying school clothes for the coming year gentler on checking accounts, even when parents have more than one child.

A growing percentage of Mississippi young people go to public and private schools dressed in uniforms. Purchasing uniforms and other school clothes can put unprepared parents in a financial hole if they are not careful.

Experts with the Mississippi State University Extension Service offered a variety of tips on how to make back-to-school clothes shopping less stressful.

Carla Stanford, Extension child and family development area agent in Pontotoc County, said the first step is to decide how many items of clothing the child needs.

“The number of outfits varies according to social norms and the child, but I would say at least six outfits is ideal, giving the child one for each day of the week plus a spare,” Stanford said.

Plan ahead to have a school wardrobe for each child.

“If school clothing costs are hard to handle this year, begin planning now for next year.

Estimate how much you’ll need for school clothing and supplies, add up the total and divide by the number of paychecks you expect.

Save that amount from each paycheck to have what you need for school next year.”

Carla Stanford Extension child and family development area agent “Long-term, if younger children are coming along, save at least some of the clothes for them. You can also estimate your child’s size next year and take advantage of end-of-season sales,” Stanford said.

“Short-term, shop the sales, as there are many opportunities in the summer to prepare for the school year.”

Beth Bell, Extension child and family development area agent in Tallahatchie County, said hand-me-downs, consignment stores and organized consignment sales are great ways to reduce school clothing costs.

Shoppers can buy uniforms and regular clothes this way.

“If you live in an area that requires uniforms, it seems that all stores carry these items in a wide range of prices,” Bell said.

“But don’t wait until the last minute, as this can cause frustration if certain sizes or colors are out of stock.”

Bell also urged shoppers to consider secondhand options, including those available online and through social media.

“I often see in my Facebook news feed my friends posting that they have uniforms or clothes for sale or to give away, and others ask if anyone has something in a certain size or color,” Bell said. “Taking advantage of swap opportunities is

a great way to save some money.”

Bobbie Shaffett, Extension family resource management specialist, said budgeting is the best way to handle the expense of school clothes and any regularly occurring, annual expense.

“If school clothing costs are hard to handle this year, begin planning now for next year,” Shaffett said. “Estimate how much you’ll need for school clothing and supplies, add up the total and divide by the number of paychecks you expect.

Save that amount from each paycheck to have what you need for school next year.”

For those who did not save for this year’s expense, Charlestien Harris, Extension family resource management area agent in Quitman County, suggested a few ways to lessen the expense’s impact.

“Parents can buy clothes for one child one month and another child the next month,” Harris said. “If there are multiple children, parents can buy for the girls during one pay period and the boys in the next.”

If saving money is a hard discipline to follow,

“You can save an easy $500 a year if you cut back one soft drink a day. At $1.50 a day, you would save about $45 a month.

Since we often don’t buy just a drink, you could also cut out the snack and save even more.”

Charlestien Harris Extension family resource management area agent or for those who do not think they have excess money to put away, Harris suggested a unique savings plan.

“You can save an easy $500 a year if you cut back one soft drink a day.

At $1.50 a day, you would save about $45 a month,” Harris said. “Since we of-

ten don’t buy just a drink, you could also cut out the snack and save even more.”

Eliminating a snack a day is not the only way to save money for school clothes. Parents can look at other regular expenses to see if they can make spending cuts.

Tips aid parents in search for afterschool care

BY SUSAN COLLINSSMITH MSU Ag Communications

Afterschool programs can help keep kids on the straight and narrow, and parents can choose the right program with a few simple tips.

“Attending an afterschool program improves academic performance, school attendance and college attendance,” said Brittney Rye, project manager of the out-ofschool program at Mississippi State University’s Mississippi Child Care Resource and Referral Network. “We know kids are less likely to become involved in negative extracurricular activities if they participate in adult-

supervised activities in the hours after school and before a parent gets home.”

Many organizations offer afterschool programs.

Rye said parents should first check with the child’s school to see if it offers any programs.

“If the district doesn’t offer an afterschool program, they likely will be able to tell parents which organizations do,” she said. “Churches often have afterschool programs.”

Other groups that offer programs include 4-H, local parks and recreation departments, and Boys and Girls Clubs.

Carla Stanford, child and family development area agent with MSU’s

Extension Service, said parents should look for a few key elements in a quality afterschool program.

“Make sure there are enough adults to adequately care for the number of children in the program,” she said. “Check to see if the program provides help with homework and provides enrichment activities. Also ask what kind of training or experience is required of the supervising adults, if the facility is properly licensed and accredited, if transportation is provided to and from the program, whether nutritious snacks are available, what the hours of operation are, and the policy on who

can pick up the child.”

Once the list of programs has been narrowed, parents should schedule interviews and tours at each facility they are considering.

“Parents need to have an intimate knowledge of the facility, the people and the activities their children will be in contact with in the program,” Rye said. “The best way to do that is to go to the facility and ask questions.”

Programs offered through the school will most likely be facilitated by teachers. Other programs should employ individuals with the proper training and experience.

“Though caregiver qualifications will vary by

program, all programs in the state of Mississippi require that caregivers be 18 years old and hold either a high school diploma or GED, a child development associate credential, or have three years of experience,” Rye said.

Parents should not dismiss a program simply because the adults are not experienced teachers.

“We are encouraging a shift in the curriculum of afterschool programs so that children are totally involved and engaged in learning,” Rye said.

“We want to have kids physically active because they’ve been sitting at a desk for eight hours. Play is a very important part of learning.

“Homework is important, and if a child needs help in a certain area, parents may want to look for a program that incorporates the assistance they need. But make sure they have fun, too,” she said.

Finding an afterschool program in a small town is challenging, but that doesn’t mean parents should give up.

The Mississippi Child Care Resource and Referral Network provides guidance for finding and choosing a quality afterschool program. Visit their website at www. msucares.com/childcare for a list of licensed programs in the state and questions to ask when researching a program.

Back to school tips to get your children to read more Special to the Daily Corinthian

(StatePoint) The start of a new school year is a great time to emphasize the importance of reading at home. Solid readers perform better in school and in the workplace, have a healthy self-image, and become lifelong learners.

Research shows a whopping 45 percent of children ages 3 to 5 are not read to daily, and this lack of literature can take a negative toll on school performance.

Luckily, there are many things parents can do to make kids passionate readers.

“Reading stimulates children’s imagination and expands their understanding of the world,” says actress Kate Beckinsale, who is teaming with “The Nestlé Share the Joy of Reading Program” to raise awareness about the importance of children’s literacy and support the work of Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the largest children’s literacy nonprofit in the U.S. If you’re looking to make reading a bigger part of your children’s lives this school year, here are some great tips to get them motivated: ■ Start young. Reading aloud to children at an early age is the most effective way to help them

“Reading stimulates children’s imagination and expands their understanding of the world.”

Kate Beckinsale Actress, teaming with The Nestle Share the Joy of Reading Program attain critical language and communication skills and instill great habits.

■ Take advantage of free online tools and resources that help make reading an engaging, shared experience for parents and kids. For example, RIF’s “Leading to Reading” website contains activities for children ages birth to 5. Visit www.rif.org/ kids/leadingtoreading for more information.

■ Variety is the spice of life! Be sure your house contains plenty of books to choose from on a variety of topics.

■ Launch a children’s book club with other parents. Take turns hosting your children’s friends for snacks and a lively discussion on the book of the month.

■ Kids love getting mail!

Subscribe to children’s magazines so they’ll have

something fun and beneficial to look forward to each month.

■ Make sure children have their very own library cards and become frequent patrons at your local library.

■ Be it the morning paper or your favorite novel, set a great example by making reading a daily habit for yourself.

■ Many literacy programs supporting underserved communities are currently experiencing federal funding cutbacks, but everyone deserves a chance to read. Invest in the lives of other children who might not have the same opportunities as your kids. For example, right now, every time you enter a promotion code found inside specially marked packages of Nestlé and Wonka candy at www.

CelebrationCorner.com/ RIF, Nestlé will donate money to RIF, to fund purchasing books for kids.

Almost a quarter of public school fourth graders score below even the most basic levels on reading exams, according to National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Don’t let your children fall behind. Take steps this school year to help your children and others to hone this basic tool for success.

Get whole family organized at back to school time Special to the Daily Corinthian

(StatePoint) Back-toschool season is the ideal time for families to reestablish routines and get organized -- both at home and on the go. But before hitting the stores for supplies, take time to plan ahead with shopping lists that meet both your children’s and your family’s needs.

There are many great tips to help get a fresh start on the academic year ahead:

Save If you have more than one child, or want to

stock up for the year, save on items like glue sticks, notebooks and writing utensils by taking advantage of sales and purchasing value packs, which are easy to find at backto-school time. For better deals on items like tissues and sanitizing wipes, hold off until you are also buying these products for the home at a warehouse club or with coupons.

Teach Organization Teach kids the importance of starting the day organized. One way to simplify the morning shuffle is by assign-

ing a color to each child for easy identification of binders, backpacks and pencil pouches. Assign colors before shopping to prepare for easier in-aisle decisions. Five Star products (www.meadfivestar. com), for example, are available in a variety of on-trend patterns and basic solid color options to complement and contrast styles. Or use color-coded stickers and labels to maintain consistency.

Synchronize Schedules The school year often brings additional com-

mitments for families.

Creating a “mission control” in a central location in the home will improve communication and ease the stress of time management.

Look for calendars with high functionality like meal planners, “lookahead” features, magnetic backings and repositionable peel-and-stick adhesives. Don’t forget to include a white board or cork board where notes can be left for one another.

Student planners are crucial to help your children stay on top of due dates, keep their own

commitments and operate on the same schedule as the rest of the family.

Vow to spend time on a weekly basis reviewing calendars and discussing the week ahead.

Manage Papers With each new school year comes an overwhelming amount of handouts, reminders, permission slips and medical forms. Parents and children all benefit from a paper management system.

Use bins, expanding files and binder dividers with “reminder” flags to keep track of priorities. Flag

items needing immediate attention -- whether it’s homework or paperwork.

If your children have busy schedules, make it easier for them to work on the go. Opt for binders with writing surfaces, internal storage pockets for loose paper and places to stash pens and pencils.

And you can do the same.

Consider using binders and expanding files in the car to create a place for last-minute notes, papers and storage.

With a little planning and creativity, the whole family can prepare to stay organized throughout the school year.

Adopting informed eating habits can prevent ‘freshman 15’

BY BEKAH SPARKS MSU Extension Center for Technology Outreach

College freshmen who have prepared themselves for new experiences are often not ready for the so-called freshman 15, the dreaded weight gain associated with starting college.

Brent Fountain, associate Extension professor in the Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Health Promotion at Mississippi State University, said weight gain is likely during the first few months of college life.

“Habits change for many of our students, whether it is dietary or physical activity. For most freshmen, it is the first time in their life when they are truly independent,” Fountain said.

“Not everyone will gain 15 pounds. Some will gain just a few pounds or even lose weight, while others may gain 30 or more.”

Michael Davis, a 2008 MSU graduate, gained about 30 pounds during

his first year at MSU. “Healthy options were available, but unhealthy options were more plentiful and appetizing,” Davis said.

Portion control was difficult as a freshman, Davis said. “My dorm room was stocked with only a microwave and mini fridge, so naturally I kept soup, macaroni and cheese and chips in my room. My roommate had raw cookie dough by the foot and without an oven, we would eat it straight from the fridge.”

Other pitfalls included large pepperoni pizzas at midnight.

“My roommate and I would each get one, and we would demolish them before we went to bed,” Davis said.

As tempting as it is to eat anything at any time, Fountain said students should keep track of what they eat to help keep off those unwanted pounds.

“When you eat away from home, there is more temptation,” Fountain

“One day off will not cause weight gain. But over time, little by little, the weight creeps up on you.”

Brent Fountain Associate Extension professor at Mississippi State University said. “You may choose to eat out more, which can lead to an intake of increased calories. Many students are also making other unhealthy choices, such as eating foods high in added fat and sugar or consuming alcohol that they previously did not consume.

“Combine these factors with lower levels of physical activity, and you have the perfect formula for unintended weight gain,” he said.

Fountain suggested

Healthy rethinking of classic PB&J

BY ALISON LADMAN Associated Press

Most kids -- and many adults -- love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Problem is, this lunch box staple is high in fat and sugar. So it’s time for a remake of that beloved sandwich.

The first fix is the bread.

Skip the fluffy white bread and go to a multigrain or whole wheat. If texture is an issue, you can always opt for one of the soft varieties. Opt for one that specifically says “100 percent whole wheat.”

The second fix is the jelly. Even the healthiest varieties are jammed with sugar. So we started with a base of all-fruit spread, but add a healthy dose of real fresh berries. This gives the sandwich just the right touch of sweetness and a big boost of fresh flavor.

The final trouble spot in the typical PB&J is the peanut butter. Opting for a natural, unsweetened peanut butter gets you on the right track. But even regular peanut butter is loaded with fat.

The solution? Mix together peanut butter and cooked instant oatmeal.

Crazy? Maybe a little. But oatmeal has a nutty, quality already. Mixed with peanut butter, it makes a delicious sandwich filling.

Be sure not to buy sweetened instant oatmeal.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich makeover 1 tablespoon instant oatmeal 3 tablespoons nonfat milk Pinch salt 1 tablespoon natural unsalted peanut butter

cup chopped fresh berries, chopped 2 teaspoons all-fruit spread 2 slices multigrain or whole-wheat bread Combine the oatmeal, milk and salt and microwave on high for 1 minute, or until boiling. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the peanut butter.

In another small bowl, stir together the berries and fruit spread.

Spread the peanut butter-oat mixture on one slice of bread and the fruit mixture over it. Top with the second slice of bread.

eating complex carbohydrates, especially fruits and vegetables which are typically high in nutrients and low in calories.

“Instead of having French fries for a side, occasionally choose a side salad or a fruit cup,” he said. “Avoid high-fat meats; however, if you really want an occasional hamburger, choose a regular-sized burger and leave off the mayonnaise and cheese, or choose water or a diet drink over the sweet tea or soda. Sweetened beverages are loaded with extra calories in the form of sugar.”

Fountain also suggested students keep snacks such as nuts and fruits on hand instead of chips or crackers.

“Anything that can help you feel fuller longer will keep you from eating when you don’t really need to. The problem with chips and crackers is that we often consume too many in one serving and then feel hungry again a short time later,”

he said.

Fountain added that carrying a bottle of water is another smart idea.

“Drinking water throughout the day helps you feel fuller longer. It keeps your body cells properly hydrated, which means you feel less hungry throughout the day,” Fountain said.

Smart phone apps or websites such as www. my-calorie-counter.com or www.myfitnesspal. com can help track food intake.

“One day off will not cause weight gain. But over time, little by little, the weight creeps up on you,” Fountain said.

“Look for ways to stay active to help avoid weight gain. Go to the gym, take your dog for a walk, or walk around campus.

Find out what you like to do and be more active.”

Laura Walling, director of Recreational Sports Administration at MSU, said recreational sports offers a wide variety of opportunities for students

to stay active and healthy.

MSU’s Sanderson Center offers group exercises, such as aerobics, yoga, Zumba and spinning, and more than 120 pieces of weight and cardiovascular training equipment.

“Whether a student just wants help getting started on a regular routine or requires someone to hold him or her accountable, we have a program that will fit the need,” Walling said.

A swimming pool is available for lap swimming and water aerobics, and there is a wide variety of club sports, ranging from ballroom dancing to lacrosse. More than 30 different intramural sports are offered each semester, including flag football, softball, table tennis and racquetball.

“With all the options that are available through recreational sports, there is no reason not to stay active and involved, and by doing so, avoid that dreaded freshman 15,” Walling said.

New computer options depend on student needs

BY MARIAH SMITH Extension Center for Technology Outreach

Summer is slipping by, and school supplies are already making their way into large bins at local stores. The back-toschool marketing event is an excellent time to consider purchasing a new computer.

Many stores will have them on sale beginning in August.

Buying a computer can be a daunting task, but there are several things to keep in mind when

shopping for a computer.

First, consider who will be using the computer.

Second, consider what its primary purpose will be.

Computers used to check email need significantly less memory and hard drive space than computers used for playing computer games.

Before buying a computer for a college-bound student, contact the college department he or she will be enrolled in and ask if the department has any special requirements for student computers.

For example, many communications, engineering and art programs require specific hardware.

The technical term “hardware specifications” refers to the computer’s ability to perform.

If a computer comes equipped with a 500 GB (gigabyte) hard drive, that means the computer can store about 128,000 (4 MB high resolution) images. Most computers on the market today come with at least a 500 GB hard drive. A 500 GB hard drive is fine for the

everyday user.

The next size up is 1000 GB, which is also known as 1 TB (terabyte).

Many manufacturers are choosing to market their computers with 1000 GB rather than 1 TB because 1000 GB sounds more impressive.

Manufacturers will try to save money or reduce the cost of the computer by lowering the amount of memory. Memory, or RAM (Random Access Memory), as it is also called, helps determine how fast the computer

retrieves and processes information. More RAM equals a faster computer. Most computers on the market today come equipped with 6 GB of memory.

There are three basic types of computers: desktop, laptop and netbook.

A netbook is appropriate only for checking email and running one or two programs at a time. The biggest difference between a laptop and a desktop is that the desktop is stationary and therefore more durable. A desktop

is also easier to work on if it needs repairs.

A laptop is best for portability. There are several other items to consider, such as the productivity software (like Microsoft Office, Corel or OpenOffice), and the antivirus software.

A good rule of thumb is to purchase as much hard drive and memory as you can afford. However, hard drive and memory will be of little value if you fail to adequately maintain your computer and avoid viruses and malware.

Teenagers putting their own spin on personalizing items

BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP Fashion Writer

NEW YORK — As the thousands of Sophias and Isabellas and Jacobs and Masons born this past year will learn when they go to pick up their backpacks off the soccer field or sort their duffels in college dorms, their names aren’t as unique as they are.

But their Twitter handles will be one of a kind, and some companies that specialize in customized products are already seeing social media names replace initials or birth names as IDs. Or you might find something decorated with a winkwink emoticon or socialmedia acronym that not all parents can decipher, or the hashtag that is an of-the-moment, pop-culture rallying point.

Social media are influencing actual design, not just which designs are popular.

“As we see customization become more ubiquitous, we see this trend growing,” says Marc Cowlin, director of marketing at CafePress, an online re-

tailer that lets consumers put their own stamp on apparel, accessories and more. “If you think about what you do in your regular life, you customize everything: your TV schedule, with DVRs letting us watch what we want to watch and when. Your radio is an iPod playlist or niche satellite, so why not with your own product?”

He adds: “Teenagers love having something in their hands that no one else has, or that only the right people have.”

CafePress has grown simultaneously with social media, and Cowlin says personalization is its fastest-growing category.

It seems each day there’s a new “shop” specializing in a hashtag; it could be a saying from a movie, or a plug for a school team or club.

You can buy pajamas or flashlights with a favorite phrase inspired by texters: LOL, TTYL or BRB, for example.

Cowlin also expects to see upward sales of water bottles and T-shirts labeled with Twitter handles this back-to-school season, and Twitter chat-

“They’ll jump in front of a computer screen and play with design tools until they get it all just the way they want it. There’s a big difference watching my 14-year-olddaughter customize something versus myself or my wife.”

Suchit Majmudar Vice president of brand development and strategy, Charming Charlie ter indicates similar interest in personalized laptop and cell phone cases.

“It’s a generation that’s interested in any merchandise that tips its hat to social media,” Cowlin

says.

They have a point, Cowlin adds: “By personalizing your water bottle with your Twitter handle, it’s less likely to get lost.

There might be 50 white water bottles on the field, but only one will have your social media name.”

Daniella Yacobovsky, who co-founded an online jewelry business, Bauble Bar, sees the same strong interest in personalized products but still was taken by surprise by the success of the company’s Twitter handle necklace.

Think of it as the nextgeneration Carrie Bradshaw nameplate for girls whose moms will know what the Carrie Bradshaw nameplate is. (For those who don’t, it’s one of the first fashion trends that Sarah Jessica Parker’s “Sex and the City” character started. A necklace with a script spelling your name was all the rage for 20-somethings a decade ago.)

Social media references are “a very 2012 way of expressing yourself,” Yacobovsky says. “You can have it say something that’s not your exact name

but something like it with an ‘at’ symbol in front so everyone will know who it is. But the name can be reflective of you — maybe your name, or the name of your blog, or an insider nickname, but you’re not stuck in the box of your given name.”

Not everyone has bought into the trend.

L.L. Bean, a go-to source for school bags embroidered with names and initials, now can do the “at” sign, but no one is asking for it, says spokeswoman Mary Rose MacKinnon.

About 60 percent of the book packs sold by the brand are embroidered with classic initials. Still, she says, it is the tween and teen shopper driving that business, too.

For Bauble Bar, the Twitter handle necklace has been popular for gifts, hitting the “$80-$100 sweet spot” that works for teenage birthday gifts and graduation presents, Yacobovsky says. Other people are buying it for themselves.

“Something like this necklace lends itself to viral sharing. You order it, personalize it, take an

Peanut butter s’mores bars make great after-school snack

BY ALISON LADMAN Associated Press

School starts in early August when kids still have summer on the brain.

So these easy-to-make snack bars have summer in mind, too.

We aimed for a simple snack with the flavor of s’mores, but with the texture, ease and portability of puffed rice treats.

We ended up with a layer of marshmallow-rich crushed graham crackers topped with chocolate. To make things interesting, we turned them into peanut butter s’mores bars.

But if your kids aren’t peanut butter inclined, just leave it out.

These make great afterschool snacks.

Peanut Butter S’Mores Bars Start to finish: 20 minutes (plus cooling) Servings: 12 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 10-ounce package marshmallows 1⁄4 cup smooth natural peanut butter 3 cups graham cereal, lightly crushed 1 sleeve of graham crackers, lightly crushed 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate bits 1⁄2 cup lightly salted peanuts Coat a 9-by-9-inch pan with cooking spray.

In a large saucepan over medium-low, heat the butter, marshmallows and peanut butter. Stir

until completely smooth.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the graham cereal and graham crackers. Stir to coat. Using buttered fingers, press the mixture into the prepared pan. Set aside.

In a microwave-safe dish, melt the chocolate bits by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Spread the melted chocolate over the bars and sprinkle with the peanuts. Allow to cool and then cut into bars.

Ditch the dorm room: off-campus decorating 101

BY KIM COOK Associated press

For many college kids, the dorms are home for all four years, and they’re happy campers. But for many others, the opportunity to move off-campus, into an apartment or house, is a welcome lifestyle change.

Along with more autonomy and privacy, living off-campus means setting up and taking care of a kitchen, bathroom, common space and more. So once the keys are in hand, here are some tips on decorating the off-campus nest.

Planning Your Space Typically, kids choose a group of friends to live with to share costs. Once the home’s been secured, have a group discussion about what the common spaces will look like, advises Sabrina Soto, Target’s home style expert.

Come prepared with a list of things that matter to you, but “be willing to compromise,” she says.

There are sure to be taste differences among housemates, so it might be best to keep common spaces neutral. Janice Simonson, an IKEA design spokesperson, points out an added bonus to doing so: “A monochromatic or limited color scheme can go a long way towards visually calming a small, crowded space.”

Paint is a good way to bring color and life to a room, if the landlord permits. If not, look for wall decals and posters.

Instead of tacking up art with pushpins or tape, use inexpensive frames for a more grown-up look.

Double check on existing window treatments before heading for the curtain aisle. If you’ve got to buy, get twin packaged drapes, interesting fabric shower curtains in pairs, or easy stick up blinds like Redi-Shades.

Collecting Stuff First, see what you can scrounge from families and friends or get sec-

ondhand. Find out if your space’s current renters -often graduating students -- are willing to leave large items. Fill in the holes with inexpensive pieces that can take some hard living.

Two students at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Aimee Ciancarelli and Rachel Michaud, got creative when they moved into a Brooklyn, N.Y., apartment together last January.

“At Goodwill, we found a vintage phone, a shelf and some cute bottles. We got a free couch and chair from Craigslist. And we decorated the walls with our own artwork,” Ciancarelli says.

Bob Koch, a senior at Ithaca College in Ithaca, N.Y., says his R2D2 trashcan gave his place some character, but the best purchase was “this huge beanbag chair — it was everyone’s favorite thing in the apartment.”

Simonson advises “multi-tasking.”

“Invest in pieces like a sofa bed with slipcover

that can convert to an extra bed and features storage underneath,” she says.

Side tables like IKEA’s Lack series can be grouped, and also used as seating.

Shelving units do double duty as space dividers and clutter busters. Inexpensive mirrors can work as art, space expanders and convenient primping stations in a houseful of kids when everyone’s getting ready at the same time.

Some retailers offer a shopping checklist: Target has one you can customize, sharing it on social media sites with roomies, and then printing it out at in-store kiosks or sending it to your smart phone.

If your sleeping space is now larger, consider getting a full-size bed.

“But invest in new bedding,” Soto advises. “It’s where you can really have fun with color, and define your personality.”

A reversible comforter with a solid hue on one

side and a pattern on the other gives you style options.

For an all-guy house, consider the Discos bed and bath collection from the online artwear collective Threadless; available at Bed, Bath and Beyond, it features an LP graphic.

IKEA’s got some bold, patterned bedding like Vannerna and Dvala.

Bath accessories with punch will make 8 a.m. classes easier to face.

Kids’ departments have whimsical items such as woodland-creature soap dispensers and girly textiles. Urban Outfitters has city map and batik-printed shower curtains that would suit a unisex bath.

Transition spaces like entryways need decor, too; get a console or bench to drop keys and mail, with a small accent lamp for late-night homecomings. Add some art and a washable rug.

“Floating shelves are one of my favorite sharedhome solutions,” Soto notes. “Without sacrificing floor area, they give

you extra space and let you get creative.”

Think about what you’ll actually use and don’t overbuy in the appliance department, or in electronics.

And leave any treasures in a box or at home with your parents.

The Kitchen A full-size kitchen will be new for most college renters. It can either be a super-size, cereal-sodaand-ramen depot or a place where fun, healthy meals come from. Buy items that are durable, microwavable and dishwasher-safe.

Walmart offers a good selection of stoneware dinner sets for under $30; Target has inexpensive, practical, white dinnerware and the Room Essentials’ colorful utensils collection.

Is someone a budding chef or baker? Off-price stores such as Homegoods have several high quality brands for more serious cooks.

Coaching your own kid brings both pressures and rewards

BY LISA A. FLAM Associated Press

Your son tosses the game-winning touchdown pass, so of course you want to pump your fists and cheer like a maniac. Or your daughter hogs the ball on the soccer field and you’re inclined to shout your disapproval and ask if she could PLEASE pass the ball already.

Or maybe your child missed the wide open pass on the basketball floor, only to take the contested shot, which he or she missed. All of this might be followed by a load groan.

When you’re the coach, though, it’s all eyes on you. And if you’re sticking your kids in marquee positions, chances are someone in the stands is not happy.

It’s a tough line to walk for parents, who make up the majority of coaches working with the millions of kids playing youth sports every year. And as these volunteers navigate the challenges of coach-

ing their own children, they’re under more pressure than ever from other parents clamoring for playing time, improved performance and those hard-fought wins.

“It’s a lot of work and it can be exhausting, especially when you have a parent that’s not happy,” says Liz Hocker, 41, who has coached her 10-yearold daughter’s softball team in Austin, Texas, for the last five years in a competitive league. “I do try not to play ‘Mommy’ ball,’” or showing favoritism.

“My philosophy is that my daughter needs to work hard and show that she should be out there playing the position I put her in,” she said. “I try very hard to treat her like every other player, as much as I can.”

Parents who sign up to coach appreciate the experience because it’s (usually) fun and creates dedicated time with their kids. Often, they’re also trying to ensure that their kids learn proper tech-

niques and good sportsmanship.

Ideally, they’ll do it all while treating their child like every other player.

After all, favoritism can cut both ways: For all the grousing about the coach’s kid getting this or that, coaches are more inclined to treat their own kids more harshly or demand more from them on the field than the other way around, experts say.

“It’s just natural they would be tougher on them,” said John Engh, chief operating officer of the nonprofit National Alliance for Youth Sports, because a father is used to talking to his own child more directly and is likely to use his son as an example.

“When you talk about physical contact, screaming on the field, they’re doing it on their own kids,” said Engh, who has coached his two children in soccer and baseball.

“They feel like they have that right. Rarely will you see a dad grab another kid by the shoulder or the

arm in frustration or raise their voice on the field.”

Most parent-coaches do a good job being fair with positions and playing time, says Frank Smoll, a sport psychology professor at the University of Washington and coauthor of “Sport Psychology for Youth Coaches,” a how-to guide due out in September. When favoritism is shown, it “can cause nothing but problems for the athletes, for the coach and with the other athletes as well,” he said.

Having a parent become a coach can be confusing for kids, and parents

should make sure the separation of those roles is clear, says Smoll, also the co-director of an education program for youth sport coaches and parents.

Before the season begins, set ground rules with your child, he says, and meet with the other parents to explain your philosophy and expectations.

“Parent at home. Coach at practices and games,” is Smoll’s motto.

Ask your son or daughter to call you “Coach” on the field. “That helps, in the child’s mind, to solidify the role separation,” Smoll says.

Engh suggests a rule

against talking to your kid about practice or a game on the way home. “No one else has to hear it from the coach,” he said.

For cihldren, criticism is always difficult to hear, especially when it’s mom or dad talking. Experts recommend enlisting good assistant coaches and relying on them to talk to your child if there’s a problem.

At the end of the game, your kids need to know you love them, regardless of how they played.

“It’s ‘I love you because you are you, not because you’re an all-star,’” Smoll said.
