Possible explosion destroys home

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

BIGGERSVILLE — An evening fire destroyed a two-story home Saturday.

“When we arrived fire was coming out of every window of both stories of the home,” said Biggersville Fire & Rescue Chief Patrick Claunch. “We immedi-

ately asked for additional help.”

Biggersville Fire & Rescue was on the scene within nine minutes of the fire that happened around 6:38 p.m. at 303 County Road 513. The twostory home of Terry Rider was burned to the ground with the exception of the garage and apartment of the 6,500 square-

foot house.

“It was one of the largest house fires we have worked,” added the chief.

Rider and his son, Ethan, were in the apartment when the fire happened. Rider’s fiancée, Dot Starnes, was in another part of the home, Claunch said.

“She heard a pop or explo-

sion then looked outside to see flames,” said the chief.

The three were able to escape with only their three dogs before the home became fully involved. “The cause has yet to be determined, but it appears to be accidental,” said Claunch.

Claunch said the cause is still under investigation.

Area volunteer fire departments from Kossuth, Southwest, Rienzi, Pisgah, Jacinto, Farmington and Wenasoga all assisted in the fire.

“We pretty much had every department there,” said the Biggersville chief.

Biggersville firemen remained on the scene until 1:15 a.m.

Homicide suspect surrenders in McNairy

Drive-Thru

BY JEFF YORK

Trinity Health Clinic ended Sunday with a new feature — an unintentional drivethru window.

Around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, a customer of the nearby Medical Plaza Pharmacy added a large hole to the north side of the building by unsuccessfully attempting a driving maneuver.

“The lady was driving through the alley behind us, thinking she could get to the Medical Plaza drivethru. When she realized she couldn’t, she tried to back up, her foot got caught on the gas pedal and she rapidly backed up through the side of the building,” explained Trinity Nurse Practitioner Cynthia Pearson. “She was backed into the building past the driver’s door. She made me a drive-thru!”

The runaway car destroyed a storage room, a reception room and a nurse’s office. No one was inside the building at the time of the accident.

Trinity Health Clinic employees and friends pitched in Sunday evening to board up the damage and get the clinic ready for business Monday.

LEAPWOOD, Tenn. — An Enville man was arrested Sunday afternoon in McNairy County in connection with a New Year’s Day fatal shooting in Dickson, Tenn.

Justin Keith Treece turned himself in to Tennessee State Trooper Kenny Lamberth in the woods around Pine Ridge Road and Pickens Road in northeastern McNairy County.

Law enforcement officers with the sheriff’s departments from McNairy, Chester and Hardin counties, plus the Tennessee Highway Patrol and TWRA helped during the search.

“The Chester County Sheriff’s Department got a tip around 11 a.m. that he was in the Enville area and we later got a tip from a hunter around noon that saw a vehicle that matched Treece’s vehicle,” said McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck.

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Monday approved six appointments to the tourism board following the city’s appointment actions on Friday.

Supervisors unanimously approved the appointment of Sandy Mitchell to the one seat on the board that is solely a county appointee. Mitchell is district clerk with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in Alcorn County and is involved in planning activities such as the county fair and livestock show. She replaces John Ross Jr., whose term was to run through October 2015.

There is one condition on Mitchell’s appointment, however. Supervisor Gary Ross noted that her salary comes through the county and inquired if that may be a conflict. If Attorney Bill Davis finds no conflict, the appointment will stand.

Christmas Day for farmers will come about a month later than the actual holiday.

The Crossroads Arena will be bringing all kinds of goodies on the wish list of many farmers with its Alcorn Farm Machinery-Home & Outdoor Show on Jan. 17-19.

“This is a good way to help our local dealers since agriculture is such a large industry in the state,” said operations manager Greg Moss.

“Our first show went well and was beyond our expectations … it got everyone’s attention on how big it could be.”

Moss learned Monday that an excess of $4.5-$5 million in equipment is committed to the auction set for Jan. 19 at 10 a.m.

Hot topics await ’13 session Reid says he misspoke

with disaster comparison

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers gavel into session at noon today with a broad range of issues to debate during the next three months.

They’ll consider allowing widespread development of charter schools, which are public schools that would be free of some state regulations.

They’ll examine ways to improve children’s reading skills in the early elementary grades.

They could argue about expanding Medicaid, but any proposals will face tough scrutiny.

Gov. Phil Bryant and other Republican leaders say the state can’t afford to put hundreds of thousands more people on the government insurance program. But health advocates say expansion could pump big money into the state economy.

Roy Mitchell, director of the Mississippi Health Advocacy Program, said putting more people on Medicaid could lead to a healthier and more productive workforce.

“We ask that our policy makers closely examine this opportunity,” Mitchell said Monday.

This is the second year of state officials’ fouryear term.

People who want to read bills are mostly out of luck so far. The legislative website on Monday still listed 2012 as the current session, and a House spokeswoman said the site was unlikely to be updated until later this week. The site usually provides the public a way to scroll through the hundreds of bills that are filed each year.

Senate staff member George Swanigan shampoos the carpet Friday in the Senate chambers at the Capitol in Jackson. Lawmakers are expected to hit the floor running today with a number of hot-button issues including charter schools and the state’s fiscal status.

Legislators face an early April deadline to finish a state budget for fiscal 2014, which begins July 1.

Bryant and the 14-member Joint Legislative Budget Committee have released separate proposals, and lawmakers are expected to take some ideas from each.

Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said Monday that while charter schools won’t solve all of Mississippi’s education problems, they would be “an additional tool in the toolbox.”

Speaking during a forum sponsored by the Capitol press corps and Mississippi State University’s Stennis Institute of Government, Reeves also said he believes charter schools should be allowed

anywhere communities want them. Some education officials have said charters should be allowed only in areas where schools are struggling.

“That is a decision parents should make,” Reeves said.

Bryant proposes spending $15 million to strengthen literacy training for teachers in early elementary grades, with a goal of making sure children can read at the proper grade level by the time they finish third grade. He said fewer than half of Mississippi students are proficient at that level now.

Reeves said he believes most lawmakers support a stronger emphasis on reading, but he said details remain to be debated.

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday that he misspoke when he suggested in a Senate speech that damage from Superstorm Sandy was worse than that inflicted

by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

In a short statement released by his office, the Nevada Democrat said he “simply misspoke” in comments Friday criticizing House Republicans for delaying legislative action to provide financial relief to areas of the Northeast hit by Sandy last October.

Reid said the government had responded within days to help the people of Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana after the onslaught of Katrina, but “we are now past two months with the people of New York.”

He said the people of New Orleans “were hurt, but nothing in comparison to what’s happened to the people in New England.” He noted that nearly a million people had lost their homes because of Superstorm Sandy.

Reid and other Democrats were upset when House Republicans decided against acting on Senate legislation to provide disaster relief for Sandy before the congressional session ended last

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada walks out of the House Chamber on Capitol Hill on Friday.

Reid said Monday that said he “simply misspoke” in comments Friday criticizing House Republicans for delaying legislative action to provide financial relief to areas of the Northeast hit by Sandy last October. week. On Friday House GOP leaders, after being criticized by fellow Republicans for delaying the disaster aid vote, pushed through a bill approving $9.7 billion to help pay flood insurance claims.

The House next week is to take up a broader $51 billion package of aid.

Reid’s remarks on Friday drew a sharp response from Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who said in a statement that “sadly, Harry Reid has again revealed himself to be an idiot, this time gravely insulting Gulf Coast residents.”

Vitter cited figures from the National Hurricane Center that Katrina

caused 1,833 deaths and more than $108 billion in damage, compared to Sandy which led to an estimated 131 deaths and $65 billion in damage.

Reid, in his statement Monday, said he was “proud to have been an advocate for disaster victims in the face of Republican foot-dragging,” and that he had worked with Louisiana’s Democratic senator, Mary Landrieu, to ensure that the people of the Gulf Coast had the resources they need to fully recover.

Implant death yields more charges Associated Press

JACKSON — A second person faces a charge of murdering a Georgia woman who died from an illegal buttocks implant in Mississippi in March, authorities said Monday.

The Mississippi attorney general’s office said in a news release that 39-year-old Natasha Stewart of Memphis, Tenn., was arrested Jan. 3. The release said she waived extradition and will be returned to Mississippi.

Stewart, who also goes by the name Pebbelz, was indicted on charges of murder, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, authorities said.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether she had an attorney.

Morris Garner, who also goes by the name Tracey Lynn Garner, was previously charged with depravedheart murder and is said to have performed the procedure at his house in Jackson, Miss., on 37-year-old Karima Gordon of Atlanta. Investigators have said the silicone-like substance that was injected into Gordon caused blood clots in her lungs and killed her.

Depraved-heart murder is a legal term for an action that demonstrates a “callous disregard for human life” and results in death. It carries a life

sentence.

Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood has said Garner had no training or license to perform the implant procedure.

Hood had said earlier in the investigation that Gordon, who had served in the military and wanted to become a model, found Garner after meeting someone on the Internet known to authorities at that time only as “Pebbles.”

Gordon met the woman in person in New York City and paid her $200 for the referral to Garner, according to Hood.

Gordon drove to Mississippi with a friend to have the procedure but became ill a few hours later. Her friend called Garner and asked what to do, and he told them to buy some cough medicine, authorities say. Gordon died at a Georgia hospital a few days later.

Deaths from illegal cosmetic procedures have happened sporadically around the country as people seek cheaper alternatives to plastic surgeons. A New Jersey woman pleaded not guilty last year after authorities charged her with giving a man a fatal dose of silicone during a penile enhancement procedure. Prosecutors say the suspect in that case had no medical training.

Other Views An ‘honest discussion’ about cost of Medicaid expansion in Mississippi

BY DAVID J. DZIELAK There has been great interest and much discussion about whether or not to expand Medicaid eligibility for adults in Mississippi as prescribed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Along with the interest and discussion there is a considerable amount of rhetoric, half-truths and fact bending about the costs and benefits of expanding Medicaid in our state. What I would like to do is state the facts as we know them and clear up several misconceptions about the cost of expanding Medicaid.

Fact number one: Implementation of the provisions of the ACA even without expanding eligibility will increase the cost of the Medicaid program. This is because the ACA mandates expansion of coverage for current eligibility groups. Medicaid coverage for foster children will be extended from 21 to 26 years of age.

Children age 6-18 who are currently covered at 100 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) will be covered up to 138 percent of the FPL. The ACA resets the way eligibility is determined by applying IRS standards to household composition and whose income counts toward eligibility. These changes can result in greater eligibility.

Pressure from the health insurance individual mandate, referrals from the new health insurance exchange and loss of employer coverage will encourage individuals currently eligible for Medicaid benefits, but are not enrolled in the program, to enroll.

This is known as the “woodwork effect” and is the largest driver of ACA induced spending in the Medicaid budget without expansion.

Additionally, administrative expenditures will increase due to the increased number of beneficiaries and eligibility modernization requirements. These costs will be matched by the federal government at the current federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP), not at 100 percent which is often quoted.

Fact number two: The “woodwork effect” is real. Recall in 2000 and 2001, there was a concerted effort in Mississippi to enroll children in the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). In that one year enrollees 0-18 years of age in CHIP increased by 18,872; in that same year 65,520 children 0-18 years of age who were eligible for Medicaid but had not enrolled, were added as Medicaid beneficiaries. When awareness is increased, enrollment grows.

Fact number three: Expansion to 138 percent of the FPL will not be completely financed by the federal government for the first three years of expansion. The ACA stipulates that the federal government pay 100 percent of the medical services costs for years 2014-2017. As mentioned above, there will be an increase in administrative costs to the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM) to enroll an expected additional 220,000 to 370,000 individuals in the program.

Fact number four: Milliman Inc. is an internationally recognized actuarial firm and has detailed knowledge of current and past enrollment and spending patterns. These were used to model cost for complying with the mandatory requirements of the ACA and for expanding Medicaid eligibility. The Milliman report on the cost of Medicaid expansion in Mississippi is accurate, unbiased and based on the timeliest information we have today. The estimates range from $609 million to $1.032 billion in state dollars.

Fact number five: The fate of Disproportionate Share Hospital Payments (DSH) is unknown at this time. DSH provides financial assistance to hospitals that serve a large number of indigent and uninsured patients.

The ACA substantially reduces DSH payments beginning in 2014. There has been no guidance or rulemaking by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on whether or not DSH payments will be reduced in states that do not expand Medicaid eligibility. In fact, one could argue that reducing DSH payments in states that do not expand Medicaid is unduly coercive and prohibited by the Supreme Court ruling.

Medicaid funding issues are complex, but cost issues attributed to the ACA are clear. It will cost our Medicaid program substantially more money to comply with these new federal regulations.

Education will dominate legislative session JACKSON — Want to know who’ll control the narrative of the 2013 Mississippi legislative session?

Look first to the lawmakers who will handle education proposals, and to the private groups lobbying for or against charter schools.

Also look to those who’ll write the budget, handle a bond package and tackle the complex questions tied to health care policy.

It’s been just over 30 years since Democratic Gov. William Winter pushed reluctant lawmakers to enact the Education Reform Act of 1982, a broad package of changes that included the start of compulsory attendance, the addition of teachers’ aides and the creation of kindergarten in public schools.

And, it’s been nearly 16 years since lawmakers overhauled the decades-old school funding system with the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, a complex (and often ignored) formula that seeks to give each school district enough money, in theory, to meet midlevel academic standards.

Current state leaders are itching to make their own

changes to education.

Their biggest push is to get public charter schools, Emily which are Wagster designed to Pettus have more flexibility in Capitol Dome academic offerings, operating hours or disciplinary approaches.

Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn, all Republicans, say charter schools should foster innovation that could improve academic performance.

Critics, including Democratic former Secretary of State Dick Molpus, say officials now are taking too narrow an approach to education policy.

“The charter school legislation’s going to suck all the oxygen out of that legislative session,” Molpus said.

“If 10 schools get established at 500 apiece, that’s 5,000 students. That’s less than 1 percent of the students in Mississippi.”

Molpus was among the Winter staffers who helped steer the Education Reform

Act into law. In 1995, Molpus unsuccessfully ran for governor.

Bryant and Reeves, and their aides, have been talking to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush about changes he made in his state, including putting a greater emphasis on ensuring children become strong readers while they’re in early elementary school. Legislators are expected to consider proposals modeled after the Florida approach.

Some other potential power players this session: ■ Sam Bounds, executive director of the Mississippi Association of School Superintendents, provides a direct link between administrators back home and lawmakers at the Capitol.

An undecided House member or senator might turn to Bounds to understand the implications of education proposals.

■ Mississippi First, a nonprofit group, has been shoulder-deep in a wide variety of education proposals the past couple of years, including advocating that schools teach evidence-based sex education courses. This session, the group is deeply involved in

pushing for charter schools in academically struggling parts of the state.

■ Nancy Loome leads the Parents’ Campaign, a nonprofit group that aggressively seeks full funding for the Mississippi Adequate Education Program. Loome sends frequent email updates to tens of thousands of people, generating the kind of attention that’s hard for legislators to ignore — even if they grumble about the tactic.

■ House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jeff Smith, R-Columbus, will push again to get a bond package after Reeves wouldn’t agree to a House proposal in 2012.

■ The Republican chairmen of the Public Health committees -- Sen. Dean Kirby of Pearl and Rep. Sam Mims of McComb -- have the most influence over whether lawmakers consider expanding Medicaid under the 2010 federal health care law. Although GOP leaders say expansion will be too expensive, they can expect pushback from vocal Democrats, including Steve Holland of Plantersville in the House and Hob Bryan of Amory in the Senate.

Republicans are surviving their own Dunkirk At the Potsdam conference with Harry Truman and Josef Stalin, Winston Churchill learned that the voters of the nation he had led for five years through World War II had just voted to throw him out of office.

“It may well be a blessing in disguise,” said his wife, Clementine.

“At the moment, it seems quite effectively disguised,” replied Churchill.

Republicans must feel that way today. For they have survived their own Dunkirk.

That Republicans suffered a rout, as the British did with the fall of France and evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, is undeniable.

The party that blocked tax increases since George H.W. Bush agreed to raise Ronald Reagan’s top rate of 28 percent to 35 percent, thus repudiating his “no-new-taxes” pledge, just signed on to one of the largest tax increases in history.

Payroll taxes on working Americans will rise by a third, from 4.2 percent of wages and salaries to 6.2 percent. For couples earning $450,000, the tax rate rises from 15 to 20 percent on dividends and capital gains, and from 35 to 39.6 percent on ordinary income.

The death tax will rise from 35 to 40 percent on estates

over $5 million.

Obamacare will push those rates up further.

And Pat now we Buchanan learn the bill was stuffed Columnist with tax breaks for windmills, NASCAR owners and Hollywood.

Why did Republicans go along?

Had they not, taxes would have risen for everyone.

And Obama would have postured as the tax-cutting savior of the middle class by proposing to restore the Bush tax cuts for every couple earning less than $250,000.

The GOP defense: We took this rotten deal to prevent a worse one.

And what, if any, is the “blessing in disguise?”

Obama has no more leverage. The Bush tax cuts for the 98 percent are now permanent. To block further tax hikes, all the House need do, from now to 2017, is stand united and just say no.

Obama is thus almost certainly staring at four more trillion-dollar deficits to match the last four, and he has no leverage to force Republicans to provide him with new revenue.

The president threatens that before he signs on to new spending cuts, Republicans will have to “make the rich pay their fair share.”

The GOP response should be: We will work with you on spending cuts, but there will be no more tax increases. If higher taxes are a condition you impose for spending cuts, there will be no spending cuts.

John Boehner and the Republicans got their clocks cleaned in these negotiations because they believed the president was dealing in good faith.

But the ideology and the interests of the Democratic Party dictate not only preserving federal programs, but expanding the numbers of beneficiaries, already near 100 million.

For the larger the number of beneficiaries, the larger the bloc of voters for the party of government and the greater the opposition to any who would dare to cut government.

The question for Republicans is what they do now, besides say no to new taxes.

Most Democrats are not going to agree to freeze or cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, federal aid to education, Head Start, Pell Grants, housing subsidies, welfare, earned income tax

credits or unemployment checks. These are the party’s pride and joy.

As for the Republicans, is it wise to propose cuts in Social Security and Medicare, upon which Republican seniors depend, when they know for certain Democrats will reject those cuts and take credit for doing so?

Will Republicans recommend cuts in defense and foreign aid and a rollback of the U.S. military presence abroad? Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham already want to know why we are not intervening in Syria.

Soon, some Republicans will be beating the drums for strikes on Iran.

Republicans Chris Christie and Peter King already want to know why Congress has not forked over $60 billion to repair the damage done by Hurricane Sandy.

Let the Democrats take the lead, drive the car, propose the tax hikes, refuse to make the spending cuts and answer for where we are in 2016, because, right now, it looks as though we are headed for an even bigger cliff.

For the next two years, the best offense may be a good defense.

State Briefs Associated Press

Med school building holds groundbreaking JACKSON — Leaders are hailing a new medical school teaching building as a way to improve Mississippi’s health.

Gov. Phil Bryant, University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones and others broke ground Monday on a new $63 million building that would allow the school to add another 30 to 40 students per class.

The Bryant administration steered $10 million in federal grant money to help get construction started. But Bryant and university leaders are looking to the Legislature to authorize state bor-

rowing to pay for rest.

Bryant’s goal is for lawmakers to borrow $25 million this year and $25 million in 2014 to pay for the 5-story, 151,000 square-foot building.

Medical school students are taught in a building that opened in 2000 and in the hospital built in 1955.

Women sentenced on robbery charges GULFPORT — U.S. District Judge Walter J. Gex III has sentenced a mother and daughter from Texas to prison terms on charges of bank robbery.

The Sun Herald reports that Evie Mearlene Herrin, 58, and Amelia Darci

Crew, 30, both of Cleveland, Texas, were fined $5,000 each.

Gex sentenced Herrin to 5 years and 10 months in prison for using a BB gun to hold up a Regions Bank on U.S. Highway 49 on March 26. Crew was sentenced to 3 years and 10 months. Herrin and Crew pleaded guilty Oct. 1.

They are charged in Louisiana with robberies of a bank in Kinder, La., in February and another in Sulphur, La., in March.

They are charged in February heist in Henderson, Texas.

Motion: Smith not fit to stand trial GREENWOOD — Law-

yers for Dr. Arnold Smith say he is severely mentally ill and should be hospitalized so he can get better.

The Greenwood Commonwealth reports that Smith’s legal team filed in Leflore County Circuit Court a statement from a psychologist who found Smith, 70, is unable to adequately defend himself against charges in an alleged murder-for-hire plot.

Judge Breland Hilburn took under advisement this past week a motion from the defense to send Smith to a mental health hospital for treatment and a motion from prosecutors to have Smith examined by doctors at the Mississippi State Hospital at Whitfield.

Smith is charged with murder as the alleged instigator of a plot that ended with the death of gunman Keaira Byrd and the serious wounding Derrick Lacy. Byrd allegedly had been hired to kill attorney Lee Abraham, who represented Smith’s ex-wife in their divorce years ago.

Palazzo called for swift aid after Katrina BILOXI — U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo says he voted against funding to pay the Hurricane Sandy flood insurance claims because of the deficit, but as the chief financial officer for the Biloxi Public Housing Authority in 2005, Palazzo asked for

federal relief despite the nation’s debt.

The authority listed $38.5 million in in “Total Funds Needed Right Away” in a handout published one month after Hurricane Katrina hit Mississippi’s coast.

Palazzo has been criticized for joining 66 other House Republicans who voted Friday against adding $9.7 billion to pay National Flood Insurance Program claims.

The bill passed the House and Senate, with Palazzo the only Mississippi representative or senator opposing it.

Congress had to bail out NFIP after Katrina’s devastating losses, resulting in an $18 billion NFIP debt.

Report: Tennessee needs better education options

BY LUCAS L. JOHNSON II Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee needs to give parents better options when it comes to improving the education of their children, according to a national organization that examines education policies in each of the 50 states.

StudentsFirst released its inaugural report card Monday.

Eric Lerum, the vice president of national policy for the Sacramento, Calif.-based group, said the group ranked Tennessee 11th among other states.

He said the state has “been on a pretty solid path of enacting reforms during the last several years,” but said “there’s still a lot of work to do.”

Tennessee became one of two states to first receive federal Race to the Top funding about three years ago and has made key reforms, particularly in the area of teacher quality.

Two key policies the state still needs to implement, however, are a measure that would allow parents to decide the fate of a struggling school — the so-called parent trigger — and the creation of a school-voucher program, which backers are calling the “opportunity scholarship program.”

Legislation for both is

expected to be taken up during the 108th Tennessee General Assembly, which convenes Tuesday.

Under the parent-trigger proposal, if 51 percent of parents at a school in the bottom 20 percent of failing schools believe that a drastic change is needed, they can then select from several “turnaround models.” For instance, they may want to convert it to a charter school, change the administrators or just close the school.

“Right now parents don’t have a whole lot of power,” Lerum said. “So if you’ve got a board of education or district administration that, for whatever reason, just isn’t showing the will to ... actually turn around a school, this changes the dynamic because this gives the parent some power to do something about it.”

A school-voucher program would use state and local education funds to allow students to transfer to better private or public schools. Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam appointed a task force to study how to start a voucher program because he said the issue needed more study before any legislation is pursued.

The task force submitted its recommendations in November.

Last month, Haslam told reporters that he has yet to decide if his administration will take the

lead on a bill to create a school-voucher program.

Lerum said the state of Louisiana was ranked No. 1 in the group’s report mainly because it has a voucher program.

“Tennessee needs to have something in place that gives parents an option to find the better school for their kids,” he said.

Lerum said Tennessee should also look into statewide authorization of charter schools, something Haslam is already considering.

The Republican governor had previously said that he wanted to see the current system of charter-school authorization stand for a few years before deciding whether the state should take over deciding whether applicants make the grade.

But he told reporters in September that those considerations might be accelerated after the Metro Nashville school board defied an order by the state Board of Education to approve a school proposed by Phoenix-based Great Hearts Academies.

Great Hearts had appealed to the state after being denied twice by the city school board over concerns that the charter school planned to draw from affluent white families, rather than to cultivate a more diverse student body.

Immigration enforcement spent $18 billion; tops other agencies

BY ALICIA A. CALDWELL Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration spent more money on immigration enforcement in the last fiscal year than all other federal law enforcement agencies combined, according to a report on the government’s enforcement efforts from a Washington think tank.

The report on Monday from the Migration Policy Institute, a non-partisan group focused on global immigration issues, said in the 2012 budget year that ended in September the government spent about $18 billion on im-

migration enforcement programs run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the US-Visit program, and Customs and Border Protection, which includes the Border Patrol. Immigration enforcement topped the combined budgets of the FBI; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Secret Service by about $3.6 billion dollars, the report’s authors said.

Since then-President Ronald Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986

— which legalized more than 3 million illegal immigrants and overhauled immigration laws — the government has spent more than $187 billion on immigration enforcement. According to the report, “Immigration Enforcement in the United States: The Rise of a Formidable Machinery,” federal immigration-related criminal prosecutions also outnumber cases generated by the Justice Department.

The 182-page report concludes that the Obama administration has made immigration its highest law enforcement priority.

Critics are likely to bristle over its findings, especially those who have accused the administration of being soft on immigration violators.

“Today, immigration enforcement can be seen as the federal government’s highest criminal law enforcement priority, judged on the basis of budget allocations, enforcement actions and case volumes,” MPI Senior Fellow Doris Meissner, a co-author of the report, said in a statement released with the report Monday.

The report by MPI’s Meissner, Muzaffar Ch-

ishti, Donald Kerwin and Clair Bergeron, comes amid renewed interest in immigration reform from Congress and the White House.

In the immediate aftermath of the November election, congressional Republicans suggested the time was right to begin reform talks anew.

President Barack Obama, who won a record share of Hispanic voters, renewed a previous pledge to make immigration reform a priority.

In the lead up to the election, Obama made several administrative changes to the immigra-

tion system, including launching a program to allow some young illegal immigrants to avoid deportation and work legally in the country for up to two years. His administration also refocused enforcement efforts to target criminal immigrants and those who posed a security threat. And just last week, the administration announced a rule change to allow some illegal immigrant spouses and children of U.S. citizens to stay in the country while they ask the government to waive 3- or 10-year bans on returning to the United States.

Fewer gun buyers seen in mass shooting states

BY EILEEN SULLIVAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — People who lived in the two states that saw the most deadly U.S. mass shootings in 2012 were less enthusiastic about buying new guns at the end of the year than those in most other states, according to an Associated Press analysis of new FBI data.

The latest government figures also reflect huge increases across the U.S. in the number of background checks for gun sales and permits to carry guns at the end of the year. After President Barack Obama’s re-election in November, the school shooting in Connecticut last month and Obama’s promise to support new laws aimed at curbing gun violence, the number of background checks spiked, especially in the South and West.

In Georgia, the FBI processed 37,586 requests during October and 78,998 requests in December; Alabama went from 32,850 to 80,576 during the same period.

Nationally, there were nearly twice as many more background checks for firearms between November and December than during the same time period one year ago.

Background checks typically spike during the holiday shopping season, and some of the increases

in the most recent FBI numbers can be attributed to that. But the number of background checks also tends to increase after mass shootings, when gun enthusiasts fear restrictive measures are imminent.

“It’s a fear there will be a crackdown,” said Thomas Wright, who runs Hoover Tactical Firearms near Birmingham, Ala. Wright said he took on more employees to handle the sales crush after 20 young students were shot to death in Newtown, Conn.

Every high-capacity magazine in his store was sold out.

The government’s figures suggested far less interest in purchasing guns late in the year in Connecticut and Colorado, where 12 people were shot to death in a movie theater.

Background checks in those two states increased but not nearly as much as in most other states. The numbers of checks in Colorado rose from 35,009 in October to 53,453 in December; checks in Connecticut went from 18,761 to 29,246 during the same period. Only New Jersey and Maryland showed smaller increases than Colorado in December from one month earlier.

In Connecticut, people were having second thoughts about whether it’s a good idea to have a

gun in the home after the Newtown shooting, the governor’s criminal justice adviser, Michael Lawlor, said. The gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, first shot and killed his mother at their home using weapons she had legally purchased before he drove to the school.

Lanza shot his way into the building and carried out the massacre before killing himself as police arrived.

Lawlor also said that in Connecticut it can take months to obtain a permit to buy a handgun.

A federal background check doesn’t always indicate a new gun is purchased, but the firearms industry uses these numbers as an indicator of how well the gun business is doing.

After the Colorado shootings, the FBI conducted 1.5 million background checks across the country in August, compared with 1.2 million checks in June. Yet the Connecticut shootings energized gun buyers more: Background checks surged in December to nearly 2.8 million, compared with 1.6 million in October.

Even before the Colorado and Connecticut shootings, the gun industry was strong. Sales were on the rise — so much that some manufacturers couldn’t make guns fast

enough. Major gun company stocks were up, and the number of federally licensed retail gun dealers was increasing for the first time in 20 years.

Many attributed the surge to Obama, whom the gun lobby predicted would be the most antigun president in American history.

After the Colorado shooting, during the final months of the presidential campaign, Obama spoke out against assaultstyle weapons but did not push for new gun laws. Just days after the Connecticut shootings, Obama said new gun laws would be a top priority.

“Gun owners are scared,” said Dudley Brown, director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a Colorado group that promotes gun rights.

People in the business are calling this rush to buy guns after the Newton shooting a “banic,” meaning people are panicked that Obama would ban guns, said Bill Bernstein, owner of the East Side Gun Shop in Nashville, Tenn.

Tennessee saw among the highest increase in gun checks at the end of last year, with 91,922 background checks in December, up from 59,840 in November. Bernstein said sales after the Connecticut shooting “went on steroids.”

Spotlight on biotech Monsanto has historically sold chemicals, like the herbicide Roundup, but now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s betting its future on biotech seeds.

Roundup isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the cash cow it used to be, in part because of competition from generic products from China and elsewhere.

Investors will be listening today when Monsanto reports its fiscal first-quarter earnings for details on how the agricultural products companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biotech seed business is performing in international markets.

Economic bellwether

Consumer borrowing

Alcoa is the first company listed in the Dow Jones industrial average to report quarterly results every earnings season.

That secures the company, which is due to deliver its fourth-quarter report card today, extra attention from Wall Street. Alcoa produces aluminum for industries such as autos, airlines and appliances. Investors look at its results in hopes of gleaning hints on the health and direction of the overall economy.

The Federal Reserve reports data today on Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; use of credit in November.

The report covers how much credit consumers took on, excluding mortgages and other loans secured by real estate. Consumer credit use surged to about $14.2 billion in October.

Economists expect consumer credit declined 26 percent in November.

’Bama bashes Notre Dame

BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The coach no longer wears houndstooth. The result is the same. Another Alabama dynasty.

Quieting the Irish by the first play of the second quarter, Eddie Lacy, AJ McCarron and the No. 2 Crimson Tide rolled top-ranked Notre Dame 42-14 for the BCS championship Monday night, locking up a second straight national title and third in four years with another laugher of a title game.

The Bear would’ve been especially proud of this one — Nick Saban and the Tide romping to the second-biggest rout of the BCS era that began in 1999.

Lacy, the game’s offensive MVP, ran for one touchdown and caught a pass for another in the final minute of the opening half, spinning away from the vaunted Notre Dame defense not once, but twice, to cap a 28-0 blitz before the bands even got on the field.

Lacy finished with 140 yards on 20 carries, coming up with two of his best performances in the two biggest

games of the year. He rushed for a career-high 181 yards in a thrilling victory over Georgia in the SEC title game, and was nearly as dominant against the Irish. McCarron wasn’t too shabby, either, completing 20 of 28 passes for four touchdowns and 264 yards, adding another dazzling effort on top of his MVP in last year’s title game.

You could almost hear television sets around the country flipping to other channels, a hugely anticipated matchup between two of the nation’s most storied programs reduced to nothing more than the second straight BCS blowout for the Crimson Tide.

“We’ve had a lot of really great football players who’ve worked really hard,” Saban said. “Because we’ve had a great team, we’ve been able to have a significant amount of success.”

Alabama (13-1) scored 69 straight points against its title game opponents, going back to getting the final 13 against Texas in 2010, followed by a stifling 21-0 victory over LSU for last year’s crown, then scoring the first 35 points on Notre Dame.

Saban’s team made the Irish (12-1) look like a squad that would be hard-pressed to finish in the middle of the pack in the mighty Southeastern Conference, which has now won seven straight national championships.

The Crimson Tide will likely wrap up its ninth Associated Press national title, breaking a tie with Notre Dame for the most by any school and gaining a measure of redemption for a bitter loss to the Irish almost four decades ago: the epic Sugar Bowl in which Ara Parseghian’s team edged Bear Bryant’s powerhouse 24-23.

Bryant won five AP titles during his brilliant career.

The way things are going, Saban might just chase him down.

The diminutive man with the perpetual scowl has guided Alabama to the top spot in the rankings three times since arriving in Tuscaloosa in 2007, and if he’s serious about finishing his career with the job he has, there seems no reason he can’t win a few more before he’s done with “The Process.”

Already, Saban is the first coach in the BCS era to win

national titles at different schools, capturing his first at LSU during the 2003 season.

Now, he’s the first coach with back-to-back BCS titles, and given the youthfulness of his team, Alabama figures to go into next season as a heavy favorite.

In an interesting twist, Saban’s fourth college title came in the stadium where he had the only stumble of his coaching career, a twoyear tenure with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins that ended ugly, with the coach insisting he wasn’t planning to leave — then bolting for Alabama just two weeks later. His tactics may have been underhanded, but it’s hard to argue with the call he made.

Before a record Sun Life Stadium crowd of 80,120 that definitely included more green than crimson, Lacy ran right through the Irish and their Heisman Trophy finalist Manti Te’o on a 20yard touchdown run before the game was 3 minutes old, capping an 82-yard drive that was longest of the season given up by the Fighting Irish.

Mississippi QB Wallace to have shoulder surgery Associated Press

OXFORD, Miss. — Mississippi quarterback Bo Wallace will have surgery on his throwing shoulder on Tuesday, meaning he will likely miss spring practice.

Coach Hugh Freeze said Monday that Wallace is expected to need four to six months to recover.

The 6-foot-4 sophomore initially hurt his shoulder against Tulane in the second game of the season, but continued to play with discomfort, starting every game for the Rebels.

Wallace still had a productive season, completing nearly 64 percent of his passes for 2,994 yards, 22 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.

He also rushed for 390 yards and eight touchdowns.

Ole Miss finished with a 7-6 record after beating Pittsburgh 38-17 on Saturday in the BBVA Compass Bowl.

The Corinth Warriors celebrate their seventh consecutive title in the Alcorn County Tournament on Jan. 5. The Warriors defeated Biggersville in a 78-69 final that stretched into overtime.

Alcorn County Tournament | Boys Championships

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Warriors claimed their 39th Alcorn County Tournament championship since 1950 with a 78-69 win over Biggersville in overtime Saturday at the Crossroads Arena.

The game marked the seventh overtime title game since 1955 and Corinth’s fifth. The Lions also played in the previous extra-period contest, beating Alcorn Central 63-60.

It was also the Warriors seventh straight title, matching their own ACT record set from 1999-2005. No other school has claimed more

than three straight in the last 64 years.

The title was the seventh boys’ championship — and eighth overall — for eighthyear Corinth Head Coach Keith Greene. James A. Horton holds the school mark with 11 in 14 years, followed

by W. David Robbins with nine in 14 seasons.

Here are the boys’ champions and runners-up from the finals of the Alcorn County basketball tournament since 1950. Scores of the title matches prior to 1955 aren’t currently available.

Scoreboard College basketball Monday men’s scores

CONTINUED FROM 8A

It would only get worse. Alabama marched right down the field on its second possession, this one a 10play, 61-yard pounding that finished with McCarron completely faking out the defense and lofting a 3-yard touchdown pass to Michael Williams, standing all alone in the back of the end zone.

On the first play of the second quarter, T.J. Yeldon powered over from the 1 to make it 21-0, the finish to another impressive drive — this one covering 80 yards — that included two long completions by McCarron.

First, he went to Kevin Norwood on a 25-yard gain.

COME ROLL

A BALL

41 halftime lead. Davis, on 5-of-8 shooting, had 10 points in the half.

The Spurs committed 11 first-half turnovers, including seven in the first nine minutes.

Both team started slowly.

The score was tied at 6 with 7:30 remaining in the first quarter. But the Hornets, buoyed by four consecutive free throws by Gordon, went on a 10-2 run to take an 18-10 lead with 3:16 left in the period, a lead they would not relinquish.

Duncan committed three turnovers and two personal fouls in the first 8 minutes.

NOTES: The Hornets

signed guard Donald Sloan to a 10-day contract Monday. Sloan, who played in 3 games for the Hornets during the 2011-12 season, has most recently played for the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Development League.

Some careers are ideal Visit with old friends won’t seem like old times for problem solvers

BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU Ag Communications

MISSISSIPPI STATE – Clarissa Balbalian’s job presents a new mystery every day.

“If you are analytical and like solving mysteries, this is the perfect job,” said Balbalian, the manager of Mississippi State University’s plant diagnostic lab. “I like working with people and helping them find solutions to their problems, too.”

Balbalian studied biology at Longwood University in Virginia, and then earned her master’s degree in forest pathology at West Virginia University.

“Plant pathology is a great way to be involved in agriculture,” she said.

“I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors and been analytical. After considering careers in healthcare fields, I decided plant health seemed less stressful.”

Balbalian said the plant-pathology field is wide open with many career opportunities in private industry or government agencies. Pathologists find jobs working domestically and internationally, addressing issues such as food safety and world hunger.

Some of the most common opportunities are in academic and state and federal government positions.

“We are approaching a shortage as experienced pathologists retire from agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Forest Service,” she said.

Maria Tomaso-Peterson, associate research professor in MSU’s Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology and Plant Pathology, said it takes a “trained eye” to pinpoint plant problems.

She attributed the growing shortage of plant pathologists to a trend toward technical proficiency and away from hands-on abilities.

“Applied pathologists are a dying breed, but what motivates them is the desire to solve puzzles. We are always looking for solutions to make things better,” she said.

Balbalian shared an unusual sample of grass fungus submitted to her lab with Tomaso-Peterson and other researchers. The pathologists were able to identify and document a new disease in centipedegrass. By identifying the fungus that causes centipede anthracnose, pathologists are one important step closer to developing treatments.

“Pathologists first seek to determine what is causing the problem.

Sometimes it is a living organism, and sometimes it will be something else, such as a chemical or environmental issue.

It helps to have someone with a trained eye to discern disease symptoms from other factors,” Tomaso-Peterson said.

“There is definitely a curiosity aspect behind the work of a plant pathologist,” she said.

“That is what Clarissa has – a lot of curiosity.”

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Arthur,” and I are planning a trip. One stop will be to see some friends of his, “Mac” and “Annie,” from years back.

I am dreading the visit.

Last year, Arthur had a heart attack. I called some of our closest friends to let them know he was in the hospital. One couple knew Mac and Annie, and told them about his illness.

Mac and Annie then called me and yelled at me for “allowing” my husband to get ill. I hung up, but they called back when I was at the hospital and left another hate-filled message on our answering machine. Not wanting Arthur to get upset, I erased it and never told him.

Abby, I don’t want to see these people. I know I’ll be suppressing the urge to slap them both, but I intend to try to be gracious.

Should I tell my husband about my last encounter with them, or trust that they have enough sense not to bring up the matter? – DREADING THE VISIT IN TEXAS DEAR DREADING: What exactly is it that you

was forced to retire early because of health issues.

We have a nice home (paid for) and older vehicles, and we have no complaints about our lifestyle other than being more penny-conscious to cover our basic expenses.

We receive numerous wedding invitations from our grown children’s friends, whom we have known and loved since they were all in high school together.

Our problem is what to do about a gift for them when we don’t have the money for one. We love to attend the weddings and receptions, but I feel bad about not taking a gift.

What’s the right thing to do? Do we go and not take anything, offer an explanation or decline the invitation? I always send a card and I don’t want anyone to think we are cheap. My son was married last year, and people were very generous with their gifts, which I really appreciated.

We also received six graduation announcements last spring – same issue. I’d really appreciate some advice. – TIGHTENING OUR BELTS

IN MISSOURI DEAR TIGHTENING: When you receive a wedding invitation from one of your children’s former high school friends, pick up the phone and explain your current circumstances and the fact that they, regrettably, prevent you from attending.

That will leave the door open for them to invite you to come anyway. If the invitation is a sincere wish to share their special day with you and not a gift grab, they’ll tell you your presence is all the “gift” they need. However, if they don’t, send a card extending your good wishes.

As for the graduation announcements, they should be acknowledged with a nice card and a sweet note of congratulations. You are under no obligation to send a gift.

Horoscopes How do I love thee?

Ten minutes at a time.

That’s the best way to love as love goddess Venus takes a journey through the practical, proof-oriented sign of Capricorn. Making commitments is all well and good, but we’ll only believe what is actually happening. The future is a question mark. Now is the only moment that exists, and even that is debatable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you can’t gain insight into another person’s nature, try to gain insight into your own. By doing this, you’ll align yourself with the forces of greater understanding.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The bull doesn’t always rage. So powerful a creature needn’t prove how powerful he or she is at every juncture. And just now, you’re about as peaceful, docile and content as a cow in the meadow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s much to process in social dynamics right now, and you are game. You know how you want this chapter of your life story to end, but you just may get a cliffhanger instead. Certainty is overrated anyhow!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even though there are challenges in your financial sector, they can all be worked out. This feels like the most of your worries, and it’s really the least. Relax and let heaven reflect your inner beauty back to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Within you is the power to strike a fire in someone’s heart. You

should have done to prevent your husband from having the heart Abigail attack – Van Buren t h r o w n your body Dear Abby over his fork so he couldn’t eat the “wrong” foods, nagged him into quitting smoking, or “forced” him to exercise and adopt a different lifestyle? You’re his wife, not his mother.

You should absolutely tell your husband about those outrageous phone calls. Do not assume that folks with such an absence of common sense that they would attack you during a family crisis wouldn’t do something equally inappropriate during the visit.

Frankly, I don’t blame you for wanting to avoid them. Your husband should clear the air before either of you see them – if you decide to see them at all.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are on an extremely tight budget since I lost my job and he

may even sense that you could do this in the heart of everyone you meet if you were so inclined.

And you wouldn’t be out of line, either.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). It may seem that you’re helpless to make a difference, but it’s not true. The world is big, but you can always do something to make it better. By resolving conflicts within yourself you’ll bring harmony to your environment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s a bit like when you’re watching your favorite drama and you come to an episode in which surprisingly little happens. Don’t lose interest, though. There are more exciting days around the bend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Humans have been on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years, and yet articles on basic topics like how to stretch and eat are still popular. Trust your human instinct, not the latest trend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). According to Greek legend, fire was intended for the gods only.

But then Prometheus stole a flame or two and gave it to the humans.

He was punished for this act of kindness, and maybe right now you can relate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Don’t let your quest for knowledge consume you. There is no reason to make a grab for the distant bits.

Let things come to you.

Everyone knows what happens to people who overreach: They lose

their balance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). True to your sign, you’ll share what’s in your vessel and still have more left over for you. But instead of water, or perhaps in addition to it, you have insight, wisdom and health to give.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t need a complicated mind map to find out what you really want to do. It’s obvious.

The only thing stopping you from going forward is fear, and that will slowly disappear as you take more steps toward your desire.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 8). Your cosmic birthday gift is a new level of personal freedom.

Breezy energy comes into your professional life, and suddenly the one who held you back gets out of your way in February. Your social life rocks in March. Singles love the relationship options. September travel unites family in common fun. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 4, 44, 49 and 30.

TAURUS YEAR AT A GLANCE: JANUARY: Those who’ve tasted the honey of success will inspire you to reach for your own sweet dreams.

FEBRUARY: Mars and Venus challenge your former definitions of success. MARCH: Mercury suggests that finesse makes things possible that sheer power and authority can’t manage. APRIL: Secret wishes start to form in your mind. MAY: Visitors, romantic drama and

career demands make this a whirlwind month.

JUNE: Uranus and Pluto help you bravely break down a barrier and move forward. JULY: Family wants your time.

You may have to compromise to fit their expectations, but you’re better for the sacrifice.

AUGUST: An orderly living situation gives you a platform on which to build your next venture.

SEPTEMBER: You’ll tweak your routine so that your life supports you better; your success depends on it. OCTOBER: Venus pulls at your heartstrings, and you will be reminded of what longing feels like. NOVEMBER: Someone will want to know where you stand, and the answer will set you on a particular course. Choose well.

DECEMBER: The new moon on the 2nd pushes you to find untapped resources and combine them in extraordinary ways.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: The king of rock ‘n’ roll Elvis Presley knocked the entertainment world out with his swiveling hips that made parents irate and girls weak in the 1950s. The sun, Mercury and Venus were all in powerful Capricorn when the king was born. His Pisces moon inspired art, spirituality and susceptibility. His natal Jupiter in sexy Scorpio seems rather obvious!

Police: Suspected gunman was unusually relaxed

BY DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press

CENTENNIAL, Colo. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police officers who arrested James Holmes after the Colorado movie theater massacre described on Monday the suspected gunman, clad in body armor, as unusually relaxed but fidgety at times.

Holmes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist arrest behind the theater and volunteered that his apartment had been booby trapped, the officers testified during the opening of a hearing in which prosecutors began laying out their case against the former neuroscience graduate student.

Officer Jason Oviatt said Holmes seemed â&#x20AC;&#x153;very, very relaxedâ&#x20AC;? and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have â&#x20AC;&#x153;normal emotional reactionsâ&#x20AC;? to things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He seemed very detached from it all,â&#x20AC;? he said.

When Oviatt first saw Holmes in his gear standing next to his car behind the theater, he thought he was a fellow officer but then realized Holmes was standing still, and not rushing toward the theater.

Oviatt pointed his gun at him, handcuffed him and searched him. He said he found two knives and a semi-automatic handgun on top of Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; car.

Oviatt said an ammunition magazine also fell out of Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pocket and he found another one on the ground.

Officer Aaron Blue said Holmes was fidgeting around after he and Oviatt put him in a patrol car, prompting them to stop and search Holmes again.

They were worried they might have missed something because of Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bulky outfit.

Investigators say Holmes tossed two gas canisters and then opened fire during the midnight showing of the Batman movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dark Knight Risesâ&#x20AC;? on July 20, killing 12 people

Associated Press

This courtroom sketch shows James Holmes being escorted by a deputy as he arrives at a preliminary hearing in district court in Centennial, Colo., on Monday. Investigators say Holmes opened fire during the midnight showing of the latest Batman movie on July 20, killing 12 people and wounding dozens. and wounding dozens.

The preliminary hearing is expected to last all week. It will allow the judge to determine whether the prosecutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case is strong enough to warrant a trial but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare for a judge not to order a trial if a case gets this far.

Whatever details emerge at the preliminary hearing, they will do so in a nation that has changed dramatically since the July 20 attack that pushed the problems of gun violence and mental illness into the forefront before receding.

That debate reignited last month when a gun-

man killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn., spawning calls for better psychiatric care, tougher gun laws and the arming of teachers.

Holmes is charged with more than 160 counts, including murder and attempted murder.

Legal analysts say that evidence appears to be so strong that Holmes may well accept a plea agreement before trial.

In such cases, the preliminary hearing can set the stage for a deal by letting each side assess

the otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths and weaknesses, said Laurie Levenson, a former federal prosecutor and now a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.

They â&#x20AC;&#x153;are often the first step to resolving the case, a mini-trial so both sides can see the writing on the wall,â&#x20AC;? she said.

In general, plea agreements help prosecutors avoid costly trials, give the accused a lesser sentence like life in prison rather than the death penalty, and spare the victims and their families from the trauma of going through a lengthy trial.

At this stage, prosecutors must only meet a â&#x20AC;&#x153;probable causeâ&#x20AC;? standard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much lower than the â&#x20AC;&#x153;beyond a reasonable doubtâ&#x20AC;? standard for a guilty verdict, said Mimi Wesson, a professor of law at the University of Colorado Law School.

Many of the survivors and family members of the dead attended the hearing.

The hearing is the first extensive public disclosure of the evidence against Holmes. Three days after the shooting, District Judge William Sylvester forbade attorneys and in-

vestigators from discussing the case publicly, and many court documents have been under seal.

It took this long to get to the preliminary hearing because lawyers have been debating what physical evidence should be made available to one side or the other, whether a psychiatrist who met with Holmes is barred from testimony by doctor-patient privilege, who was responsible for leaks to the media, and other issues.

Police say Holmes, now 25, had stockpiled weapons, ammunition, explosives and body armor. He was a first-year student in a Ph.D. neuroscience program at the University of Colorado, Denver, but he failed a year-end exam and withdrew in June, authorities have said.

The shootings happened six weeks later.

Federal authorities have said Holmes entered the theater with a ticket and is believed to have propped open a door, slipped out to his car and returned with his weapons. Police arrested him outside the theater shortly after the shootings ended.

Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental health could be a significant issue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and possibly a contentious one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the preliminary hearing.

His attorneys have told the judge Holmes is mentally ill, but they have not said whether they plan to employ an insanity defense. He had seen a university psychiatrist, and his lawyers have said he tried to call the psychiatrist nine minutes before the killing began.

Defense lawyers have said they plan to call at least two people, described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;lay witnesses,â&#x20AC;? who could testify about Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental health.

Prosecutors asked Sylvester to block the witnesses, but he refused.

Obama sends military one of its own, first enlisted member

BY LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama said he was sending the U.S. military â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of its ownâ&#x20AC;?

Monday as he selected decorated Vietnam combat veteran Chuck Hagel to lead the Pentagon as it scales back spending and winds down a decade of war.

A former Republican senator from Nebraska, Hagel would be the first enlisted military member to become secretary of defense, and Obama called him â&#x20AC;&#x153;the leader our troops deserve.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153; I n Chuck H a gel our troops see a decorated combat v e t eran of Hagel character and strength,â&#x20AC;? Obama said as he introduced Hagel at a White House news conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They see one of their own,â&#x20AC;? who will champion veterans and military families.

An Army infantry ser-

geant who risked his life to pull his younger brother to safety while both were serving in Vietnam, Hagel would bring to the job a gritty view of war and the independent temperament to express those views.

He is known as a contrarian Republican moderate who was a fierce critic of the Bush administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war policies and he is likely to support a more rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

Long the frontrunner for the Pentagon job, Hagel, 66, forged a strong

personal relationship with Obama in the Senate, including overseas trips they took together.

And he carved out a reputation as an independent thinker and blunt speaker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Senate, I came to admire his courage and his judgment, his willingness to speak his mind, even if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t popular, even if it defied the conventional wisdom,â&#x20AC;? said Obama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly the spirit I want on my national security team, a recognition that when it comes to the defense of our country, we are not

Democrats or Republicans, we are Americans.â&#x20AC;?

Hagel has also suggested he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shy in disagreeing with the commander-in-chief and his outspoken nature has already given some senators, who will confirm his nomination, pause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a good job overall.

There are a lot of things I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with him on; he knows it,â&#x20AC;? Hagel told the foreign policy website Al-Monitor last March.

Wounded during the Vietnam War, Hagel initially backed the invasion of Iraq, but later became a

credible critic of the wars, making routine trips to Iraq and Afghanistan.

He opposed President George W. Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to send an additional 30,000 troops into Iraq â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a move that has been credited with stabilizing the chaotic country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carried out.â&#x20AC;?

While Hagel supported the Afghanistan war resolution, over time he has become more critical of the decade-plus conflict, with its complex nationbuilding effort.
