CT-A rocks stage with ‘Footloose’ 3 face
drug charges
BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth Theatre-Arts is ready to get “Footloose� in its first production of the new season. The classic story of teen rebellion -- “Footloose – The Musical� -- is set to take stage Friday through Sunday at the Crossroads Playhouse. Sponsored by Kimberly-Clark, the production is set for 7:30 p.m. both Friday and Saturday nights along with a 2 p.m. showing on Sunday. Tickets have gone quick with both Friday and Sunday performances already sold out. “Only a handful of tickets are available for Saturday,� said artistic director Cristina Skinner. “People need to hurry if they want to get in.� Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students. Skinner said she is “excited� to direct the youth production. “I am proud of where we have come the last month,� she said. “Most of these students are debuting and have taken off the entire summer to do the show.� Adapted by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie from the 1980s hit movie starring Kevin Bacon as Ren and Lori Singer as Ariel, the CT-A production is about a city teenager from Chicago who moves to a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned. “Ren comes from Chicago to challenge Reverend Moore,� added Skinner. Thomas Elam of Ramer, Tenn., will be playing the part of the upbeat Ren. “He is a fun-loving guy who has had a rough life,� said Elam, who is studying vocal performance at the University of North Texas. Kossuth High School student Marlee Sue Bradley is slated for the part of Ariel. “I absolutely love the character,� said Bradley. Ariel, a rebellious preacher’s daughter, is out to help Ren and the rest of her classmates overturn the ban against rock music and dancing. That means going against her father Rev. Moore (Jon Huwe) in the attempt. The fast-paced drama is filled with such now-famous hit songs as the title track and “Let's Hear It for the Boy.� “They have so many energy and are so exuberant about it,� said Skinner of the cast.

The Alcorn Narcotics Unit arrested three men Friday on capias warrants for sale of a controlled substance. Corinth police officers picked up Rodney Antwon Grayson of Young Street due to the narcotics unit having two sale of controlled substance cases against him. In a separate case, Narcotics Officers Jason Willis and Darrell Hopkins were assisting Tippah County investigators on a stolen items case at a residence on County Road 611 when they arrested Anthony Wayne Stanley of East Palmer Street, Blue Mountain, who was indicted for possession of two or more precursors with intent to manufacture methamphetamine, and Antonio Vaneric Mitchell of Proper Street, Corinth, for felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell. The three remained in custody.

SELMER, Tenn. — The McNairy County Board of Education approved a motion to ask the county commission to put a referendum before the voters to continue the $20 wheel tax and add a halfcent increase of sales tax. The revenue generated would help pay for proposed new elementary schools in Selmer and Adamsville. McNairy’s School Board voted 5-1 to send the request to the county commissioners. Board members Frank Lacey, Tony Chapman, Jean Jones, Jarrell Stanfield and Lynn Baker all voted yes. Larry Smith was the lone no vote. If the commissioners approve the request, the measure could be placed on the ballot for the November election. The county commission’s next meeting will be Monday, Aug. 13. “We have to look at this (school building project) as making an investment for our future,� said McNairy County Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly. “We need to realize these schools will last for 30 or 40 years.� Miskelly said the continuation of the wheel tax and a half-cent increase of the sales tax is the only real option of funding the proposed new schools in Adamsville and Selmer. “I do not look at the wheel tax as adding a new tax because the people have already been paying it,� Miskelly said. “I do not believe anyone is going to notice paying just a half-cent more in sales tax.�

Antique show must for railroad nail collectors BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The first-ever Corinth Railroad Antique Show will be held Friday at the American Legion Hall. The event is sponsored by the Texas Date Nail Collectors Association. “Every year we sponsor a show where we get together and trade stories and nails,� explained show coordinator Allen Stanley, a member of the group who lives in Iuka. “This year we’re going to kick it up a notch.� Date nails — nails with a date stamped in their heads — were primarily used by railroad companies to visually identify the age of a railroad tie. For example, a nail stamped with a “41� is from 1941. Usually 2.5 inches long with quarter-inch shanks, date nails were driven into railroad ties, bridge timbers, utility poles, mine props and other wooden structures for record keeping

Date nail has the date “18� for 1918 stamped in the head. A faint diamond on the shank indicates the nail was made by American Steel & Wire Company. purposes. Railroad companies would
drive the nails into ties either at the treating plant, to indicate the year of treatment, or at the track, to indicate the year the tie was laid. While most were used to show the date, some date nails served other purposes. For example, a nail stamped “B� from the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh was driven into a tie made of beech. On the Santa Fe railroad a nail marked “OZ� meant the tie was treated with oil-zinc chloride. The Railroad Antique Show will feature not only date nails but “everything related to railroads but the engine and caboose,� said Stanley. “We’re going to have tons of other stuff — railroad crossing signs, lanterns, locks and keys, a big assortment,� he said. Members of the group hope the Railroad Antique Show will be a successful event that can become an annual tradition in Corinth. They plan to

Courthouse Museum seeks public’s help BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The Courthouse Museum in Iuka is one of Mississippi’s historic treasures — and it needs the community’s help to continue telling the story of the region. “We would really like to get more people involved,” said Assistant Administrator Helah Wilson. The courthouse’s needs are many, from cash donations to volunteer hours. It operates primarily on membership fees for the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society and funds raised by the museum store, Woodall Mountain Market, where visitors can buy books about Tishomingo County history and genealogy, a selection of CDs representing the area’s music, T-shirts, coffee mugs and a variety of creations from local artists. Another source of funding is the Tishomingo County Board of Supervisors, which makes a small quarterly contribution. After eight years without air conditioning in the second story, the county recently paid for a new system, bringing an end to eight years of unbearable summer heat — especially in the upstairs courtroom. The museum also needs a new employee and enough money to pay the new worker. “We need assistance, as far as salary, with hiring
a full-time administrator,” Wilson explained. Wilson serves as a volunteer in the assistant administrator position, but the Courthouse Museum needs a full-time administrator, she said. Volunteers are needed for the Iuka Heritage Festival and 150th Battle of Iuka reenactment slated for Labor Day weekend. Organizers of the pair of events are expecting upwards of 20,000 visitors coming into Iuka. The museum currently uses community workers from the jail for routine cleanup, but volunteers are needed for cleanup and especially repairs. “This place is in dire need of repairs,” said Wilson. “We do it as we can.” Tishomingo County recently funded repairs on the museum’s John Marshall Stone Research Library, which was deteriorating from years of termite damage. In response to a significant increase in Civil War researchers over the past few years, additional Civil War resources are being added to the shelves. Since February members of the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society have worked to prepare the old courthouse to serve as headquarters for the upcoming Battle of Iuka sesquicentennial events. “By the end of August it will be equipped to entertain thousands of people

Now a museum, the old courthouse in Iuka served as the seat of Tishomingo County government from 1889 to 1971. expected to visit the museum over the Labor Day weekend,” said Cindy Nelson, president of the group. The 142-year-old courthouse is currently undergoing major courtroom repairs to remove water stains and blistered plaster. Replacement of rusted ceiling tiles is next on the agenda. “Staff and volunteers have gone over the top to make these renovations possible,” said Nelson. “The museum would not be possible without the teamwork of these very dedicated volunteers.” Plans include ADA-approved handicap accessibility and continued lawn
improvements. The historical society is paying for the interior renovations through the courtesy of a private Tishomingo County donor. Built in 1889, the building served as the Tishomingo County Courthouse until 1971, when the city fathers built a new facility on Battleground Drive. For many years the courthouse was the epicenter of the “Marriage Capital of the South” — as Tishomingo County was known. Couples flocked to Tishomingo County from Alabama and Tennessee because Mississippi had no waiting period or blood-test requirements.

An estimated 55,000 people married at the courthouse before it moved to the new location. Many couples who were married at the courthouse during its heyday come back to visit. And new couples also have the option of getting married in the historic courtroom — which is much more likely to happen now that the upstairs is air conditioned, said Wilson. “The old stories say that back in the old days so many people were getting married that these justicesof-the-peace would be waiting in the parking lot — like buzzards — to make a little money,” said board
member RaNae Vaughn. Donations can be sent by mail to the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society, 203 East Quitman Street, Iuka, MS, 38852. Volunteers can visit the Courthouse Museum to learn more about lending a hand. The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. No admission is charged, but donations are gratefully accepted.

McNairy voters go to the polls today BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
A good turnout of early voters has shown a good bit of interest in today’s McNairy County General Election. The most local interest is in the races for county mayor and tax assessor. Polls will be open today in McNairy County from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. All voters must provide an ID when they cast their ballot. Ronnie Brooks (D) and Tom Cauley (R) are seeking the position of McNairy County mayor. The winner will serve the two-year unexpired term of former county mayor Jai Templeton. Wilburn Gene Ashe has been serving as county mayor since Templeton resigned from the office to take a job in state government. Betty Ashe (R), the incumbent, is trying to hold off the challenge of county commissioner Keith Jernigan in the race for county tax assessor. McNairy County Administrator of Elections
Joanie Collins said 1,713 voted during the early voting period, 390 more than voted early in the same election in 2008. Collins pointed out that 1,521 voted at the election commission office and 192 voted by paper ballots either at the nursing homes or absentee. “I’m expecting us to have a higher vote total than four years ago,” Collins said. “There is a lot of interest in the county in the county mayor’s race.” Collins said the county had just 3,096 to vote in the 2008 General Election. That total was just 1,283 more than the total of votes cast during early voting this time. Republicans accounted for 844 of the early votes and the Democrats had 442 to vote early. Collins said some voters chose to not declare a party in the early voting. The ballot will include primaries for U.S. Senate and representative, and Tennessee Senate and representative.

The director of schools pointed out the possibility the state could someday take the half-cent sales tax increase and use the money at the state level. McNairy’s sales tax is now at 9.25 percent and the proposed increase would raise it to 9.75 percent. It has been estimated the two schools would cost around $20 million.

new elementary school and the school board does have the land in Adamsville. The $20 wheel tax would raise about $450,000 annually and the half-cent sales tax increase would generate about $750,000 in annual revenue. McNairy County has been using the wheel tax revenue to pay off the McNairy County Justice Center. The wheel tax is scheduled to end this year.

Diabetes Tip Want to know how a particular meal affects your blood sugar? Check it just before the first bite of that meal and again one and a half to two hours after that. Its OK to go up about 50-60 points. If it goes up more then you may need to make an adjustement in food or medicine. Remember your after meal blood sugar goal should be under 180 according Jimmy Bennett Ji B to the American Diabetes Association. Some doctors even recommend that you be under 140. Controlling your diabetes can help you to reduce the risk of damage to your eyes, kidneys, nerves and most of all your heart.

Corinth, Miss.
Letter to the editor
Shouldn’t we get all the facts first? To the editor: On almost any major economic development project the state considers, a cost-benefit analysis is customarily done to determine whether the proposal will create jobs and makes good economic sense. The State of Mississippi, under Gov. Haley Barbour, determined it made sense to spend up to $413 million for 2,000 direct jobs to bring the Toyota plant to Blue Springs. Toyota then invested $800 million in Mississippi. In 2002, we determined it made sense to spend $363 million for 5,300 direct jobs when we brought Nissan to Canton. Nissan then invested $1.9 billion in Mississippi. I do not believe there were any votes against the Toyota or Nissan projects in the Legislature. Every member of the legislature, Democrat and Republican, were willing to spend over $750 million for 7,300 direct jobs. Regardless of our political beliefs with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the state should do two things before a decision is made to support or to fight the proposal. 1) In addition to a cost analysis, the financial benefit and number of jobs that would be created for our citizens should be determined. Arkansas has weighed the benefit against the cost of implementing the act (including the administrative costs to Medicaid) and determined that the state would gain $372 million above the cost for the first six years. Mississippians deserve “the whole story” and to know what the financial benefit would be to our state. I understand the Milliman Company looked at expenses but did not analyze the economic benefits/impact to Mississippi of the ACA. According to the Mississippi Economic Policy Center, for every $1 billion spent on healthcare, over 12,000 jobs are created, meaning many jobs could be created for our people. With unemployment going up in Mississippi while the unemployment rates are going down in neighboring states, we should at least look at the number of jobs to be created so an informed decision can be made. The Mississippi Development Authority and local economic developers should be involved and all Mississippians should know the economic benefits or economic downsides of the bill. 2) There have been many misrepresentations from both sides of the aisle about the requirements of the ACA. The state should have an independent group look objectively at the ACA and be honest about what it does and does not do. If there are offensive provisions that would be bad for the state, then we would know and factor those into our decision, or seek a waiver of those provisions. We would also have an unbiased, reputable group reporting the truth to our people rather than partisan screaming for political purposes. There are strong feelings on all sides of the issue, but one thing is certain. Many Mississippians are paying far too much for health care and thousands of others who work every day are without coverage. Shouldn’t we at least know the facts before we make a decision?

In long run, is the GOP dead? Since 1928, only Dwight Eisenhower and George W. Bush have won the presidency while capturing both houses of Congress for the GOP. In his 49-state landslide, Richard Nixon failed to take either House. In his two landslides, Ronald Reagan won back only the Senate. Yet Mitt Romney is even money to pull off the hat trick. With this hopeful prospect, why the near despair among so many Republicans about the long term? In his New York Times report, “In California, GOP Fights Steep Decline,” Adam Nagourney delves into the reasons. In the Golden Land, a state Nixon carried all five times he was on a national ticket and Reagan carried by landslides all four times he ran, the GOP does not hold a single statewide office. It gained not a single House seat in the 2010 landslide. Party registration has fallen to 30 percent of the California electorate and is steadily sinking. Why? It is said that California Republicans are too out of touch, too socially conservative on issues like right-to-life and gay rights. “When you look at the population growth,” says GOP consultant Steve Schmidt, “the actual party is shrinking. It’s becoming more white. It’s becoming older.” Race, age and ethnicity are at the heart of the problem. And they portend not only the party’s death in California, but perhaps its
destiny in the rest of America. Consider. Almost 90 percent of all RepubPat lican voters Buchanan in presidential elections Columnist are white. Almost 90 percent are Christians. But whites fell to 74 percent of the electorate in 2008 and were only 64 percent of the population. Christians are down to 75 percent of the population from 85 in 1990. The falloff continues and is greatest among the young. Consider ethnicity. Hispanics were 15 percent of the U.S. population in 2008 and 7.4 percent of the electorate. Both percentages will inexorably rise. Yet in their best years, like 2004, Republicans lose the Hispanic vote 3-to-2. In bad years, like 2008, they lose it 2-to-1. Whites are already a minority in California, and Hispanics will eventually become the majority. Say goodbye to the Golden Land. Asian-Americans voted 3-to-2 for Obama, black Americans 24-to-1. The Asian population in California and the nation is growing rapidly. The black population, 13 percent of the nation, is growing steadily. Whites, already a minority in our two most populous states, will be less than half the U.S. population by 2041 and a minority in 10 states by 2020.
Consider now the Electoral College picture. Of the seven mega-states, California, New York and Illinois appear lost to the GOP. Pennsylvania has not gone Republican since 1988. Ohio and Florida, both crucial, are now swing states. Whites have become a minority in Texas. When Texas goes, America goes. This year could be the last hurrah. The GOP must work harder to win Hispanic votes, we are told. But consider the home economics and selfinterest of Hispanics. Half of all U.S. wageearners pay no income tax. Yet that half and their families receive free education K-12, Medicaid, rent supplements, food stamps, earned income tax credits, Pell grants, welfare payments, unemployment checks and other benefits. Why should poor, working- and middle-class Hispanics, the vast majority, vote for a party that will reduce taxes they don’t pay, but cut the benefits they do receive? The majority of Latinos, African-Americans, immigrants and young people 18 to 25 pay no income taxes yet enjoy a panoply of government benefits. Does not self-interest dictate a vote for the party that will let them keep what they have and perhaps give them more, rather than the party that will pare back what they now receive? What are the historic blunders of the Grand Old Party that may yet appear
on the autopsy report as probable causes of death? First, the party, intimidated by name-calling, refused to stop a tidal wave of immigration that brought 40 million people here whose families depend heavily on government. We needed a time-out to assimilate them and see them move out of the tax-consuming sector of the nation. Republicans acquiesced in the importation of a new electorate that may provide the decisive votes to send the party to the ash heap of history. Second, Republicans, when enacting tax cuts, repeatedly dropped millions of taxpayers off the rolls, creating a huge class that contributes little to pay for the expanding cornucopia of benefits it receives. Third, the social revolution of the 1960s captured the culture and converted much of the nation. According to a new Pew poll, the number of Americans who profess a belief in no religion at all has tripled since the 1990s and is now one in five of our countrymen. If your racial and ethnic voter base is aging, shrinking and dying, your moral code is being rejected, and the tax-consuming class has been allowed to grow to equal or to dwarf the taxpaying class, the Grand Old Party has a problem. But then so, too, does the country. (Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)
Guns stopped massacre during deadly rampage BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN On Feb. 12, 2007, a lone gunman, Sulejman Talovic, opened fire at the crowded Trolley Square shopping mall, killing five bystanders. Armed with a shotgun with a pistol grip, a 38-caliber handgun with rubber grips, and a backpack full of ammunition, he set forth on his rampage through the mall. But he did not get as far as he had hoped. He was stopped when off-duty police officer Kenneth Ham-

mond of the Ogden City Police Department, who was at Trolley Square having an early Valentine’s Day dinner with his pregnant wife. When they heard shots, she called 911 and he drew his weapon and confronted Talovic. He was joined by Sgt. Andrew Oblad of the Salt Lake City Police Department. They pinned down Talovic, stopping further deaths, until a SWAT team from the Salt Lake City Police Department killed him. Hammond, a man with a
weapon, was credited with saving “countless lives.” In Aurora, Colorado, there were no armed bystanders, and Holmes was unimpeded in his deadly rampage. Gun control advocates use the grisly story of the Aurora movie theater to push their cause. But common sense tells us that it is easier to put guns into the hands of law-abiding citizens and to instruct them in their use than to keep them away from the insane or evil people who perpetrate these shootings.

State Reeves attacks graduation rate omission at fair BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves says the Mississippi Board of Education made a mistake when it decided to omit high school graduation rates from school ratings this year. Reeves, speaking Wednesday at the Neshoba County Fair, also said he is determined to push a broader charter school law through the Legislature in 2013. The Republican lieutenant governor said he believed the board’s July decision to drop graduation
rate requirements was a response to the Legislature’s decision to change school ratings to an A-to-F scale. “Unfortunately, some in our education establishment have too often become more focused on the appearances of success than on achieving real results,” Reeves said. “There are some who are more worried about protecting their positions or their turf than they are about graduating more students and getting more students ready for college.” Board of Education members had said they made the change because
only high-performing schools — those that would otherwise be rated in the top two tiers — were penalized for not reaching graduation standards. Those rules said a high school had a to achieve an 80 percent graduation rate to get an A or Star rating, and had to reach a 75 percent graduation rate to get a B or High Performing rating. The board said it would take the year to re-examine
the graduation requirements and other elements of how the state rates schools. Reeves spoke under the tin-roofed pavilion on the main square fairgrounds south of Philadelphia. The speeches, a long Mississippi tradition, drew a small crowd on a hot day. Except for a hiatus during World War II, a fair has been held in the red clay hills of Neshoba County

ping stories and sharing meals in the peak of summer heat and humidity. The fair has horse races, a small midway and traditional attractions like contests for quilt-making and vegetable canning.
FUTURE EVENTS # 2 Last week, we discussed future events in our article. We examined three future events: death, the coming of Christ and the resurrection of the dead. Today we will examine two more future events that humanity must face. Humanity must also face the future event of the judgment. The Bible reveals that all nations will face the Lord at the judgment. “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats” (Matt 25:32). The Bible also reveals that the judgment will be on an individual basis. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Cor 5: 10). The judgment will be done by Christ. “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son” ( John 5:22). The judgment will be final. “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned” (Matt 12:37). The last future event will be eternity. Two different words are used to describe eternity which are everlasting and eternal. “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal” (Matt 25:47). Both words are of equal duration. The description of both eternal places is described for us in Luke 16:24-25. “And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented”. We have looked at five future events in the last two articles: death, the coming of Christ, the resurrection, the judgment and eternity. Only Christians are prepared for these future events.

Man notches DUI, on lawn mower CLINTON, Tenn. (AP) — It was Lonnie Michael Haney’s seventh drunken driving conviction that got him sent to prison. It was on a lawn mower. Anderson County District Attorney Dave Clark told The Knoxville News
Nation Briefs
AUGUST 2, 2012 8 PM
Sentinel the court sent Haney “back to ‘Go,”’ a reference to the board game Monopoly. In a plea bargain Monday, the 48-year-old Haney pleaded guilty in exchange for a two-year sentence and $3,000 in fines.
An Anderson County deputy, who knew Haney’s driving license had been suspended, saw him on a John Deere riding mower on the shoulder of a road in Oak Ridge in August 2010.
Fed says US economy slows WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that the U.S. economy is losing strength and repeated a pledge to take further steps to boost growth if hiring remains weak. The Fed took no new action after a two-day policy meeting. But it acknowledged in a statement released after the meeting that economic activity had slowed over the first half of the year. It also said unemployment remains elevated and consumer spending is rising at a somewhat slower pace. Market reaction to the Fed’s announcement was muted. Stock indexes dipped shortly after the statement was released at 2:15 p.m., but then moved higher. In the last half hour of trading the Dow Jones industrial average was flat. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note increased from 1.50 percent to 1.53 percent. The statement was slightly different than the one issued after the Fed’s last meeting, June 19 and 20. In addition to the language noting that the economy had “decelerated,” the Fed’s policymaking committee said it would “closely monitor incoming information” and “will provide additional accommodation as needed” to boost the economy and job creation. In the previous statement in June, the central bank simply said that it “is prepared to take further action as appropriate.” The Fed repeated that strains in the global market pose a significant risk to the U.S. economy, the housing market is improving but remains depressed and inflation remains tame. Policymakers also repeated their plan to hold short-term interest rates at record-low levels until at least late 2014. Most economists say the Fed could launch another program of buying government bonds and mortgage-backed securities at its September meeting if the economy doesn’t show improvement. The goal of the program, known as quantitative easing, would be to drive long-term rates, which are already at record lows, even lower.
Budget-and-tax debate endangers nation WASHINGTON — With the government heading toward a year-end “fiscal cliff,” House Republicans approved a full plate of Bush-era tax cuts Wednesday that they said could help shore up a stillfrail national economy. At the same time, the Obama administration warned that threatened budget cuts could send some of America’s troops into battle with less train-
ing. For all the action and talk, however, both taxes and spending were deeply enmeshed in campaign politics, with no resolution expected until after the elections. Democrats are demanding that any compromise to avoid the $110 billion in budget cuts that are scheduled to kick in Jan. 2 include a tax increase on high-income earners. Republicans reject the idea of raising rates on anyone as the economy struggles to recover fully from recession. “There are five months remaining for Congress to act,” acting White House Budget Director Jeff Zients told the House Armed Services Committee. “What is holding us up right now is the Republican refusal to have the top 2 percent pay their fair share.” Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told the committee that if Congress fails to come up with a compromise, nearly all elements of the military will be affected by cuts mandated by last year’s deficit deal. Training would be scaled back and flying hours for Air Force pilots would be reduced. The Navy would buy fewer ships and the Air Force fewer aircraft. “Some later-deploying units (including some deploying to Afghanistan) could receive less training, especially in the Army and Marine Corps,” Carter said. “Under some circumstances, this reduced training could impact their ability to respond to a new contingency, should one occur.” Military personnel would be exempt from job cuts, but furloughs might be issued and commissary hours reduced, he said.
Angeles. Vidal died at his home in the Hollywood Hills at about 6:45 p.m. of complications from pneumonia, his nephew Burr Steers said. Vidal had been living alone in the home and had been sick for “quite a while,” Steers said. Vidal “meant everything to me when I was learning how to write and learning how to read,” Dave Eggers said at the 2009 National Book Awards ceremony, where he and Vidal received honorary citations. “His words, his intellect, his activism, his ability and willingness to always speak up and hold his government accountable, especially, has been so inspiring to me I can’t articulate it.” Along with such contemporaries as Norman Mailer and Truman Capote, he was among the last generation of literary writers who were also genuine celebrities — regulars on talk shows and in gossip columns, personalities of such size and appeal that even those who hadn’t read their books knew their names. His works included hundreds of essays, the bestselling novels “Lincoln” and “Myra Breckenridge” and the Tony-nominated play “The Best Man,” a melodrama about a presidential convention revived on Broadway in 2012. Vidal appeared cold and cynical on the surface, dispassionately predicting the fall of democracy, the American empire’s decline or the destruction of the environment. But he bore a melancholy regard for lost worlds, for reason and the primacy of the written word, for “the ancient American sense that whatever is wrong with human society can be put right by human action.”
Gore Vidal, author, Medicare fraud busters playwright, dies at 86 show command center In a world more to his liking, Gore Vidal might have been president, or even king. He had an aristocrat’s bearing — tall, handsome and composed — and an authoritative baritone ideal for summoning an aide or courtier. But Vidal made his living — a very good living — from challenging power, not holding it. He was wealthy and famous and committed to exposing a system often led by men he knew firsthand. During the days of Franklin Roosevelt, one of the few leaders whom Vidal admired, he might have been called a “traitor to his class.” The real traitors, Vidal would respond, were the upholders of his class. The author, playwright, politician and commentator whose vast and sharpened range of published works and public remarks were stamped by his immodest wit and unconventional wisdom, died Tuesday at age 86 in Los
BALTIMORE (AP) — Medicare’s war on fraud is going high-tech with the opening of a $3.6 million command center that features a giant screen and the latest computer and communications gear. That’s raising expectations, as well as some misgivings. The carpeting stills smells new at the facility, which went live a week ago in a nondescript commercial office park on Baltimore’s outskirts. A couple dozen computer workstations are arrayed in concentric semicircles in front of a giant screen that can display data and photos, and also enable face-to-face communication with investigators around the country. Medicare fraud is estimated to cost more than $60 billion annually, and for years the government has been losing a game of “pay and chase,” trying to recoup losses after scam artists have already cashed in.

Top low-cost funds Investors are increasingly cost conscious. That’s made index funds more appealing. For a very low cost, they aim to keep investor assets growing at the same pace as the stock market. But index funds may be too conservative for some investors. Why not earn more than the market? That hope is why actively managed funds hold about $6 in assets for every $1 invested in less expensive index funds. The problem is that most fund managers don’t beat the market. And even with smart stock-picking, the high fees for a fund’s operating costs are difficult to offset. Low fees is a key reason why index funds outperform the vast majority of managed funds over the long haul.
That leads many investors to put at least some of their money in an index fund to minimize risk, while also investing some in a managed fund or two. With a little homework, they can find funds run by managers who have consistently outperformed the market while also charging low fees. Each of the funds below is a solid option to hold for the long term. Each focuses primarily on stocks of large U.S. companies and has outperformed a large-cap stock index, the Russell 1000, over the last 3-, 5and 10-year periods. Each has achieved that while charging an expense ratio of less than 0.74 percent of assets. That’s the average charged to invest in U.S. stock funds last year, according to Morningstar. None of the funds charges an upfront sales fee, known as a load.
Funds to anchor a portfolio: Bargain hunters can still find managed funds that outperform the market and charge low fees. Each of these funds carries a 5-star rating from Morningstar. Fund

Quadrupled earnings?
The largest U.S. automaker has been benefiting from strong sales in North America and China. But for General Motors to continue its rebound from bankruptcy three year ago, it needs demand in Europe and South America to improve. GM lost $256 million in Europe in the first quarter, while earnings fell 8 percent in South America. Investors find out whether GM’s fortunes improved in those regions today, when the company reports its secondquarter results.
Wall Street anticipates a big quarter from LinkedIn today. The professional online networking portal is expected to report that its net income quadrupled in the second quarter. As more people set up profiles on LinkedIn, employers and job seekers alike are using it as a digital Rolodex. Revenue has been growing steadily, though the company posted a loss in the third quarter of last year because it’s investing more in its own business.

Tri-State Rebels reach milestone BY DONICA PHIFER sports3@dailycorinthian.com
IUKA — For a few hours Tuesday, Town & Country Furniture wouldn’t have looked out of place during a tailgate in the Grove. The furniture store played host to the Tri-State Rebel Club for its annual summer event, which featured speeches from Ole Miss Athletic Director Ross Bjork and Assistant A.D. for High School and Junior College Relations Barney Farrar. Although the crowd came to hear Bjork and Farrar discuss Ole Miss, the Tri-State Rebels had another order of business. “Our primary function tonight is to award our first scholarship to a young lady from Alabama,” said Tri-State Rebel President John Blake. Alexandra Spencer was the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship to attend Ole Miss this fall. Spencer, from Muscle Shoals, Ala., was chosen for the group’s scholarship by the university. “I’m so happy to get the scholarship,” said Spencer, a pharmacy major.

mark of three years of hard work and fundraising. Later this month, Ole Miss will award a second $1,000 scholarship to another incoming student. “We want to increase our numbers, to provide six, seven or eight scholarships each year,” said Kenny Carson, a Tri-State Rebel Board Member. “We want to increase the amount of the scholarships, and the amount of money for each of them.” Proceeds from the night went toward the scholarship fund, including ticket sales for the event. Silent and live auctions rounded out the activities for the night and raised $2,000. “This is great. To me, this is the stuff that we have to do we’re obligated to do this .... It speaks to the character of Ole Miss,” said Bjork. There is no cost to join the Tri-State Rebel Club. The only requirement is that members must live in the eight counties covered by the group: Alcorn, Prentiss and Tishomingo in Mississippi, McNairy and Hardin in Tennessee, and Colbert, Lauderdale and Franklin in Alabama.
Adrian, Schmitt add to Aussies’ heartache BY PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press
LONDON — Nathan Adrian took out the Missile by a fingertip. Then Allison Schmitt dealt more heartache to the team from Down Under. Adrian, a 23-year-old largely overshadowed by American stars such as Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, made a name for himself by winning the 100-meter Olympic freestyle Wednesday. He lunged to the wall to edge James “The Missile” Magnussen by one-hundredth of a second — the slightest margin possible — and again deny Australia its first individual swimming gold of the London Games. Adrian pounded the water, then put his hands over his eyes while dangling over the lane rope, as if he couldn’t be-
lieve the “1” beside his name. Magnussen hung at the end of the pool, staring straight ahead at the wall in disbelief, the wall he got to just a fraction of a second too late. “It’s not who swims the fastest time this year,” said Adrian, a not-so-subtle dig at Magnussen posting the best time ever in a textile suit back in March. “It’s who can get their hands on the wall first here tonight.” The Aussies took another bitter defeat in the final event of the evening, again to their American rivals as Schmitt chased down Alicia Coutts for gold in the 4x200 freestyle relay. Schmitt dived in the water about a half-second behind but passed Coutts on their first return lap and won going
away in 7 minutes, 42.92 seconds. The Australians settled for another silver in 7:44.41, while France took the bronze. Schmitt is turning into one of the biggest American stars of the games, picking up her second gold to go along with a silver and a bronze. Seventeen-year-old Missy Franklin also claimed her second gold swimming the leadoff leg, and Dana Vollmer now has two golds in London. Shannon Vreeland rounded out the gold medal-winning quartet. “Allison is a fighter and she can push through anything,” Franklin said. “We had total faith in her.” Like the Aussies, the record book also took quite a beating. Daniel Gyurta and Rebecca Soni both set world records
in the 200 breaststroke. The Hungarian won gold, while Soni set her mark in a semifinal heat, further proof that its still possible to go fast — really fast — even without the now-banned bodysuits. Five records have fallen over the first five days at the Olympic Aquatics Centre, defying those who felt it would take years, maybe even decades, to take down some of the marks set with technological assistance. “If I feel good, I don’t want to hold back. I shouldn’t,” Soni said. “I just went for the last 50 and I started to hear the crowd halfway through and just kept going with it. “It’s been four years since I swam close to that fast, so it’s Please see ADRIAN | 9
Uchimura adds gold to go with world titles BY NANCY ARMOUR The Associated Press
LONDON — Like pretty much everybody, Danell Leyva thinks Kohei Uchimura is the greatest male gymnast who’s ever lived. For now. While the three-time world champion was solidifying his exalted status with the Olympic title Wednesday, all but wrapping up the gold midway through the meet, Leyva gave a glimpse of what the young American hopes could be the sport’s next great rivalry. Closing with perhaps the two most spectacular routines of the night, the 20-year-old rallied to land in third place. It was only the second all-around medal for a U.S. man since 1984, and added yet another chapter to Ley-
va’s incredible story. He fled Cuba as a sickly toddler with his mother and older sister, making their way to Miami through Peru and Venezuela. “I’m going to keep working to beat him,” Leyva said. “His gymnastics is just so beautiful. ... I’m not trying to copy his style. I have my own style. I need to perfect me more to beat him.” Uchimura finished with 92.690 points, almost two in front of Leyva. Marcel Nguyen won the silver, giving Germany its first Olympic medal in the men’s all-around since 1936. When Uchimura finished floor exercise, his final routine, he gave a slight bow to the crowd before breaking into a wide grin. He pumped his fist toward several fans
waving Japanese flags as he trotted off the podium, then graciously accepted congratulations from his competitors. “I have been a world champion three times, three years in a row,” Uchimura said. “But this is different. It’s once in four years, and the wait was there. I felt like the demon was chasing me this time.” That demon had about as much luck as the rest of the world. Uchimura has been untouchable since winning the silver medal in Beijing, so stylishly sublime that Germany’s Philipp Boy, runner-up at the last two world championships, lamented he had been born in “the wrong age.” “He’s in a different world,” German coach Andreas Hirsch said. “He wasn’t part
of this competition.” What makes Uchimura so special is that he doesn’t seem to have any flaws. When Yang Wei was running roughshod over the competition in the last Olympic cycle, winning a pair of world titles and the gold medal in Beijing, he did it through sheer strength. He bulked up his routines with so much difficulty he started most meets two or three points ahead. But there’s “art” in artistic gymnastics, and Yang didn’t have it. He managed to win one of his world titles despite taking such a big fall on high bar that he rolled off the mat to the edge of the podium. Uchimura has the tough tricks, but does them with Please see GYM | 9

great to be back on top like that.� Adrian was on top of the world after touching in 47.52, giving the U.S. its first title in swimming’s signature event since Matt Biondi at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Canada’s Brent Hayden took silver in 47.80, his country’s first medal ever in the furious down-and-back sprint. “We were in the ready room and we watched it and just went nuts,� Lochte said. “We were screaming and everything. That was one of the greatest finishes. We’re so happy for him.� Adrian watched Soni’s record on television while chatting with reporters in the mixed zone. “Whoa, Rebecca just set a world record,� he said. “I’m overshadowed by Rebecca setting a world record.� He should be used to that by now, swimming for a team that includes Phelps and Lochte. But Adrian gave a glimpse of his potential in the 4x100 free relay, going faster than Magnussen on the opening leg, a shocker given that the Missile had looked unbeatable at last year’s worlds and went a stunning 47.10 at his country’s national trials. Unfortunately for the Aussies, Magnussen hasn’t been at his best when it really mattered, and these Olympics are turning into a downright bummer for the swimmers from Down Under. “I just felt pretty much bulletproof coming into this Olympics,� Magnussen said. “It is very humbling.� Australia, which normally battles with the Americans for pool supremacy, has eight medals but its only gold came in the women’s 4x100 free relay. The Americans are pulling away in the medal table with eight golds and 18 medals overall. “I have a lot more respect for guys like Michael Phelps who can come to the Olympics and back it up under that pressure,� Magnussen said. The Americans are feeling good about themselves, producing more of a team effort after Phelps dominated the last two Olympics. “We’ve had a great week so far,� Phelps said. “We are just starting to pick up more and more steam, so hopefully we can finish it.�

such elegance and precision that his routines look more like performance art. Even in photographs, there are no signs of the flaws — bent legs, crossed ankles, crooked lines — that bedevil other gymnasts. “I like perfection,� Uchimura said. The Japanese star was uncharacteristically off in qualifying and the team finals, perhaps feeling the pressure of pursuing gold. Japan was runnerup to China at the Beijing Olympics and the last four world championships, and Uchimura said earlier this year he was “fed up� with
always finishing second. He finished ninth in qualifying after falling off both high bar and pommel horse. He wasn’t much better in the team finals, botching his pommel horse routine again and needing a score review just to get Japan the silver medal. Whatever ailed him, it was gone Wednesday. Starting on pommel horse, he was far more composed than he had been the previous two competitions. His lower body looked as if it was on a swivel as he worked his way around the horse, his legs swinging in perfect unison while his torso stayed perfectly still. The slap-slap-slap of
his hands was mesmerizing. He gave a slight smile when he landed his dismount, as if to say, “Whew!� then proceeded to bury the competition. He didn’t post a score below 15.1, and had the lead after only three events. “He earned the gold medal,� Nguyen said. “He is world champion three times in a row, and is the best gymnast. No one will be able to reach him easily.� But Leyva sure wants to

give it a go. Leyva does not have the natural build of a gymnast. His feet are too flat, his backside too big and, truth be told, he was downright pudgy as a child. And what Leyva lacked in natural ability, he has more than made up for in dogged determination and, similar to Uchimura, a relentless quest for perfection. “You know Danny, Danny always thinks he’s going to win,� Alvarez said.

Short Hops
Paul Konerko, Chicago Teammate Alex Rios led the AL in RBIs and Adam Dunn scored the most runs, but it was Konerko who was the most consistent man in the middle of the lineup for Chicago last week. He batted .435 and drove home seven runs. His power stroke had been missing since a minor wrist injury earlier this month, but he hit three home runs and added a double.
Scott Feldman, Texas The Rangers have been scuffling terribly of late, but Feldman was terrific in two starts last week. He allowed just one run to the Red Sox last Monday and tossed eight shutout innings in a 2-0 win over the AL Central-leading White Sox Sunday night. Two of the Rangers’ last three wins are courtesy of Feldman, who did not walk a batter and struck out 10 in his two outings.
Aramis Ramirez, Milwaukee The Brewers have not been very good of late, losing nine of their last 10 games. But the bullpen deserves most of the blame, certainly not the offense. Ramirez has done his part. Last week he batted .417 with four doubles and a pair of home runs while nursing a wrist injury that caused him to miss Sunday’s game.
Mike Minor, Atlanta The young lefthander seems to be coming into his own after several false starts over the past two seasons. He logged 15 innings for the Braves last week without walking a batter. He gave up just 10 hits and whiffed 13. He allowed just two runs against Miami, but lost 2-1 before pitching eight innings and defeating the Phillies, 2-1.
Billy Hamilton, Cincinnati The blazing shortstop making news for stolen bases is not stealing at the same clip, but he is showing signs of becoming a more complete player. After stealing 104 bases in 82 games at Single-A Bakersfield, he has just 11 in 16 games at Double-A Pensacola. But his OBP of .446 is his best as a pro.
Aug. 3, 1948 After making nine relief appearances in July, Satchel Paige pitches seven innings in the Indians’ 5-3 win over Washington in his first start in the major leagues. He allows seven hits, three runs and strikes out six.
Aug. 1, 1978 Cincinnati Reds star Pete Rose fails to hit safely, ending his National League record-tying 44-game hit streak. He walks to lead off the game, then lines out to the pitcher — all against Braves’ lefthander Larry McWilliams. He then lines out to third resulting in a double play off reliever Gene Garber. With the Braves leading 16-4, Garber strikes out Rose swinging to end the game and the streak.
Josh Willingham
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh The marquee matchup of the weekend will be at beautiful PNC Park in Pittsburgh. And unlike most games over the past several seasons, the stadium will be rocking. The second-place Pirates have been playing well since the All-Star break, but have lost ground to the Reds, who can’t seem to lose even without star Joey Votto. Cincinnati has rarely blown teams out during their 14-2 run since the All-Star break, winning nine games by two runs or less. Closer Aroldis Chapman has 10 saves in the Reds’ last 16 games, which could haunt the Reds down the stretch if manager Dusty Baker wears out his fireballing closer. Pittsburgh closer Joel Hanrahan has eight saves since the break as the Pirates do not lose leads past the seventh inning. The newly acquired Wandy Rodriguez will open the series for the Pirates against Mat Latos.
Los Angeles Angels at Chicago White Sox The Angels expected to be in a battle with the Texas Rangers in the AL West this season. Los Angeles has been on the short end all season. But what the club didn’t expect was to be in a tussle with the Oakland A’s for one of the wild cards. The White Sox are in the middle of a fight in the AL Central with the Detroit Tigers. With teams in the AL East fading, the two wild card teams could come from the threesome of the A’s, White Sox and Angels. That adds some importance to this series in Chicago.

Penny Wise and Dollar Foolish It’s time to evaluate MLB long-term contracts. Here are the best and worst contracts (from the teams’ perspective) for the remaining years (including this season) of contracts running past 2012. Values listed include number of guaranteed seasons remaining (including 2012) and total guaranteed dollars, in millions.
PENNY WISE Andrew McCutchen, Pirates (6, $51.5) The likely NL MVP will break the 8-digit barrier (barely) in 2014. Gio Gonzalez, Nationals (5, $42) For some reason, he’s been cycled through four organizations by age 26. I think he’ll stick with the Nats for a while. Bryce Harper, Nationals (4, $8.15) I’ve seen enough to be a believer. His five $1.25 million signing bonus payments beginning last year are more than half of his salary through 2015. Pablo Sandoval, Giants (3, $17.15) The All-Star third baseman is cashing in just $3.2 million this season. Madison Bumgarner, Giants (6, $35.56) He won’t top $1 million until 2014, and will make less than $10 million per year through 2016. Evan Longoria, Rays (2, $13.5) The Rays and Longoria were among the first to sign a long-term deal eliminating the arbitration years. Team options from 2014-16: $7.5, $11 and $11.5 million. Ryan Zimmerman, Nationals (8, $116.2) From 2014-18 he’ll make just $14 million per season. That’s effective cost control for Washington. Jered Weaver, Angels (5, $84) The lanky righty gave the Angels a bit of a hometown discount but will still draw $20 million in 2016. Jose Bautista, Blue Jays (4, $57) Released by three other organizations before leading the AL in homers in back-to-back seasons, Bautista is on a plateau of $14 million through an option season in 2016.
2,533 4 11-2 1 18-4
Joe Mauer, Twins (7, $161) I can understand why the Twins wanted to secure the face of the franchise and hometown boy Mauer. But at $23 million per season through 2018, this is crippling the team. Alfonso Soriano, Cubs (3, $57) When he signed this deal, he rocketed to the top of the list. With just two years remaining after this season, he remains on the list. That’s a pretty bad deal. Josh Beckett, Red Sox (3, $51) He’s certainly been able to afford lots of beer, fried chicken, video games and golf since inking this pact. Athlon Sports Alex Rios, White Sox (2, $25.2) Gio Gonzalez (left) will make just $9.5 million over this season and next. Alex Rodriguez, who Much like Soriano, Rios’ deal is so has signed two of the most lucrative deals in MLB history, will make $40 million after turning 40. near the end it almost doesn’t matter DOLLAR FOOLISH C.J. Wilson, Angels (5, $75) any longer. His 2014-16 seasons will pay an Alex Rodriguez, Yankees (6, $149) Vernon Wells, Angels (3, $63) Everyone (probably including the identical salary to Weaver ($16, $18, He batted just .218 last season and $20 million).

Hall of Famer Eddie Mathews was the only player to suit up for the Braves in Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta. Do you know who the only pitcher was to earn wins against the franchise while it represented each of the three cities?
Hits for Ichiro Suzuki as a member of the Seattle Mariners. Ichiro played 1,846 games for the Mariners over the past 11 and a half seasons before being traded to the Yankees last week. The total ranks 28th all-time for a player with one franchise. Number of winning streaks of six games or more this season for the Cincinnati Reds. No other team has more than two. Record for the Cincinnati Reds since losing their star first baseman, Joey Votto, to a knee injury. He is expected back in mid-August.
TRIVIA ANSWER: Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts earned the third win of his career with a complete game on July 4, 1948 against the Boston Braves. The final win of his illustrious career came as a member of the Cubs in relief at Atlanta in a 14-inning victory.
• Who needs Joey Votto? So what if he’s a Gold Glove first baseman? So what if he’s a former MVP? Apparently the Reds are fine without their superstar. Since he’s been sidelined with minor knee surgery, the Reds, after losing two of the first three, have reeled off 10 in a row, ending the weekend tied with the Nationals for the best record in the National League. This has been a huge lift for Cincinnati. Now there will be little pressure on Votto and the team to rush him back in the lineup. He may prove to be the most valuable “acquisition” down the stretch. • Hitters have complained quietly in Minnesota about the huge dimensions of Target Field, which opened in 2010. But outfielder Josh Willingham recently accomplished something that no Twins right-handed hitter did in 28 years in the Homerdome. He became the first right-handed hitter with 25 home runs in the team’s first 97 games since Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew hit 32 in 1970. • Last July 19, the Pittsburgh Pirates were hanging on to first place with a 51-44 record. After that time, the season fell apart and the Pirates were 21-46 to end the season with an all too familiar 90 losses. Among those losses was the devastating Jerry Meals Game in which they lost to Atlanta in 19 innings when home plate umpire Meals ruled Julio Lugo safe at home on what appeared to everyone to be a clear out (even to Lugo). There is a clearly a new day in Pittsburgh. Since July 18 this season when the Pirates were tied for first place, they have won seven of 10 and trail the redhot Reds by just two games.
Reds Everything falling into place in Cincinnati. Nationals Will Stephen Strasburg be available down the stretch? Yankees Followed a 2-5 West Coast trip by losing two of three to Boston. Rangers Need to get Josh Hamilton back on track soon. Pirates Playing well, but can’t keep pace with ultra hot Reds. Dodgers Sweep at San Francisco has Dodgers and Giants virtually tied. Braves Stingy pitching allowed just five runs over last four games. Angels Former Angel Fernando Rodney saves Sat. and Sun. losses. Giants Nothing more painful than getting swept at home by Dodgers. A’s Green and Gold is red hot in Oakland. Cardinals Let weekend slip away in Chicago. Tigers Made huge splash with trades and filled big hole at second. White Sox Young Sox are not going away. Orioles Buck Showalter has so much to build on for the future. Rays With Evan Longoria coming back soon, you never know. Blue Jays Jays have been within two games of .500 since June 25. Diamondbacks Arizona has Giants and Dodgers looking over their shoulders. Mariners 11-6 since All-Star break; brighter days ahead. Red Sox Felix Doubront is latest Red Sox ace. Mets Wheels are coming off and team is breaking down. Indians 7-2 vs. Tigers this season, but ended weekend two under .500. Marlins Contenders in the offseason, sellers at the trade deadline. Twins Winning records vs. Cleveland and Kansas City this season. Padres 3.16 ERA at home, 4.47 on the road. Brewers Bullpen has been absolutely terrible all season. Phillies Doesn’t look like a spark will happen. Cubs Totally different team on the road than at home. Royals Same sad story of struggle in K.C this summer. Rockies Won just four of 15 since the break; season getting bleaker. Astros Tough to find a silver lining right now.
Team in the majors that has employed just five starting pitchers this season. When the Marlins traded Anibal Sanchez to the Tigers last week, Miami left Cincinnati as the only team to use just five pitchers in the rotation. Record for the Oakland A’s in their first 22 games of July, putting them squarely in the American League wild card race. AP Images
McKenry, Marte homer to help Pirates beat Cubs BY ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The Pirates were clinging to a one-run lead. Then, in a flash, this one became a breeze. Michael McKenry and Starling Marte homered to back a strong start by Jeff Karstens, and Pittsburgh pulled away to beat the Chicago Cubs 8-4 on Wednesday. Garrett Jones added two hits and drove in three runs after entering in the eighth as a pinch-hitter. Andrew McCutchen chipped in with two hits
and scored three times, and the Pirates broke this one open late. They rebounded from a lopsided loss on Monday to take two of three from the Cubs. Now, after a day off, they’ll head to Cincinnati for a three-game series with the NL Centralleading Reds. “I’m going to give you something real generic,” manager Clint Hurdle said, before doing just that. “We’ll be there on time and we’ll be ready to play. We’re not in such a hurry to process all of
this information. We’ve just won this series. We’ll travel. We’ll get there.” As for this game, the Pirates were leading 2-1 going into the eighth when this one got out of hand. They started the onslaught with seven straight hits against Shawn Camp and sent 10 batters to the plate in a five-run outburst. Jones, batting for Gaby Sanchez, drove in two with a single and McKenry made it 7-1 with a threerun drive to left — his 10th homer. “He tried to throw a BP
sinker down and in,” McKenry said. “I just tried to look for a ball a little bit elevated with a sinker guy.” McKenry connected, and the Pirates could breathe a little easier. That late burst aside, it was a rather quiet day at Wrigley Field after a wild one on Tuesday. Not only did the Cubs trade pitcher Ryan Dempster to Texas before the non-waiver deadline, A.J. Burnett took a no-hitter into the eighth inning for Pittsburgh. Karstens (4-2) wasn’t quite as dominant, but he
sure was good. He allowed three hits and one run over five innings, striking out four and walking one. He settled down after Starlin Castro’s solo homer to left in the first and retired 10 of the final 11 batters he faced. Travis Wood (4-7) was a tough-luck loser and dropped his fourth straight start after winning four in a row. He gave up two runs and three hits over five innings, but two plays in the third cost him. First, he gave up a leadoff homer to Marte. Then,
the left-hander balked in another run to make it 2-1. Otherwise, Wood pitched well enough, but the Cubs couldn’t get anything going until the ninth. The Pirates brought in closer Joel Hanrahan with an 8-1 lead and he gave up three runs, including a two-run homer by Welington Castillo. But the game was well in hand after Camp got knocked around. “We’ll take Camp out there, the way he’s done all year,” Chicago’s Jeff Baker said.

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creation is often a slow process; destruction is often quick. You may think long and hard to come up with an idea about how to take your life to the next level. It takes no time at all for reality to shoot down those ideas. But don’t let that stop you. The Leo sun encourages you to keep creating, and the moon in Aquarius lends social support. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your efficacy depends on having an open mind. Remain flexible and ready to adjust your expectations. When you let go of what you think will happen, what really does happen will wow you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Organizational experts will tell you that the best place to keep items you don’t use or love is out the window. It’s a fine day to lighten up by throwing or giving away meaningless possessions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Mental time travel will be a pleasing pastime. Project yourself into a wondrous future. The best part about this flight of fancy is that you return with an enhanced sense of purpose. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some problems you can ignore, and they simply go away. Today’s issues are not going anywhere, neither are they easily neglected. It’s best to deal with them now while they are still manageable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You quickly tire of passionless work. Let your heart lead the way, and you’ll accomplish much more. Your attention span will be remarkable when you love what you’re doing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Security and excitement usually don’t come in the same package, but you could find that rare combination all wrapped up in the arms of someone you know and love. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your inner dialogue probably won’t match your outer experience now, as the world inside your head is particularly colorful, whimsical and attention grabbing. Go where you can express yourself freely. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). It’s always smart to test out ideas in a small way before taking them to a large scale. Today it’s more than smart; it’s imperative to keeping an organization or relationship on good terms. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You like the person who asks a question that makes you think, especially when the question is based on a keen observation about you. It means the person is paying close attention to you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You’ll predict what someone will do, and when that person behaves as expected, you’ll find comfort in it. When a person behaves in a consistent manner, you start to feel you can trust that person. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You feel there’s a change in you. However subtle the change may be, it will land you in a completely different place from where you would be if you had remained the same. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll stand for something. Your message is likely to spread far and wide. So before you tell a single soul, think for a while about what exactly you would like that message to be. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 2). You’ll be a constant source of inspiration to your people this year. What’s your secret? You make sure to get the inspiration you need to stay creative. Next month features a financial exchange. Partnerships grow more beneficial in September. You’ll travel with friends in October. New talent emerges in March. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 25, 41 and 15. ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I would ask her to marry me today if I thought she’d say yes, but the Pisces woman I love is proving extremely difficult to pin down. How can I move her past this hot-and-cold stage into something more committed? I’m a Virgo.” For Pisces women, every aspect of the relationship has to feel right, or she’s going to be uncomfortable. Discomfort sends her running. Note that I stated things have to “feel” right; they don’t have to actually be ideal. So the key to attracting her lies in your ability to be extremely comfortable in her presence: comfortable with who you are, with your approach, with her response to you, with who she is, comfortable and having fun with all of it. If you’re stressed about impressing her or wanting her to be yours, you’ve lost. Also, it may help you to note that where she is in the relationship may have more to do with where she is in her life than anything else. So you don’t have to take her interest as a gauge of your success or attractiveness. She’ll be particularly receptive in October when Venus will be in your sign.

Brother afraid of paternity truth DEAR ABBY: My younger brother confided that he got a girl pregnant. I’m the only one he has told and it’s killing me. The baby is about two months old, and my folks still don’t know they could possibly be grandparents. My brother doesn’t want to tell them right now, and he also doesn’t want a paternity test to see if the baby is his because he doesn’t want to face the reality that he could really be a father. Abby, knowing that I could have a niece out there is killing me because there are so many children who harbor resentment toward their absentee fathers. I really want to do the right thing and get my parents involved, but if I do I’ll lose my brother’s trust. If I don’t tell, I will have to live with the fact that I am abetting my brother being another stereotypical dead-beat dad. Please help. -- AUNT IN DISGUISE DEAR AUNT IN DISGUISE: How old is your
brother? From your description, he is acting like a 14-yearold. Have Abigail a n o t h e r Van Buren talk with him and Dear Abby tell him that because he is old enough to father a child, he’s also old enough to accept responsibility for his actions. The time to tell his parents everything and start supporting his child in every way he can is now. Of course, before making any announcements, he should be sure the baby is actually his. A paternity test will let him off the hook if he isn’t the father. So give him a deadline to have the test done, and if it shows he is the baby daddy, set another one for him to inform your parents or you will. The longer the delay, the harder it will be. DEAR ABBY: I recently
discovered that my mother has been purchasing catalog items using my name and not paying for them. I have confronted her, but she denies it even though the items are in her home. My mother is much better off financially than I am and has no need to use my credit. I have spoken to the companies and had mixed results. Some have agreed to put the bill in her name, others refused. At this point, I don’t know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated. -- JOANNA IN BROOKLYN, N.Y. DEAR JOANNA: Your mother’s behavior is shameful. Talk to your credit card companies and ask for new credit cards. If this is allowed to continue, your mother will destroy your credit. Tell her that you expect her to pay the charges she has incurred immediately, and you want proof of payment. Warn her that if it doesn’t happen, you will
inform the fraud division of your local police and let them deal with her. Then follow through. DEAR ABBY: I’m 13 and have a problem. My friends are jealous of me. They say I’m spoiled rotten. I honestly don’t think I am that spoiled, and I love my friends dearly. I am bothered by their rude comments. How do I ask them to stop or should I just ignore it? -- UNSPOILED IN INDIANA DEAR UNSPOILED: The next time they say it, say: “It hurts my feelings when you say that. A spoiled person is someone who doesn’t appreciate what she has -- and I appreciate everything I have. Especially friends like you.” (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)
Today in history Today is Thursday, Aug. 2, the 215th day of 2012. There are 151 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History On Aug. 2, 1862, the Ambulance Corps for the Army of the Potomac was created at the order of Maj. Gen. George McClellan during the Civil War.
On this date In 216 B.C., during the Second Punic War, Carthaginian forces led by Hannibal defeated the Roman army in the Battle of Cannae. In 1776, members of the Continental Congress began attaching their signatures to the Declaration of Independence. In 1876, frontiersman “Wild Bill” Hickok was shot and killed while playing poker at a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, by Jack McCall, who was later hanged. In 1909, the original Lincoln “wheat” penny first went into circulation, replacing the “Indian Head” cent. In 1922, Alexander Graham Bell, generally regarded as the inventor of the telephone, died in Nova Scotia, Canada, at age 75. In 1923, the 29th president of the United States, Warren G. Harding, died in San Francisco; Vice President Calvin Coolidge became president. In 1934, German President Paul von Hindenburg died, paving the way for Adolf Hitler’s complete takeover. In 1943, during World War II, Navy boat PT109, commanded by Lt. John F. Kennedy, sank after being rammed by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri off the Solomon Islands. In 1964, the destroyer
USS Maddox suffered light damage from North Vietnamese patrol torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. In 1974, former White House counsel John W. Dean III was sentenced to one to four years in prison for obstruction of justice in the Watergate coverup. (Dean ended up serving four months.) In 1985, 135 people were killed when a Delta Air Lines jetliner crashed while attempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, seizing control of the oil-rich emirate. (The Iraqis were later driven out in Operation Desert Storm.)
One year ago The Senate passed, and President Barack Obama signed, legislation to avoid an unprecedented national default. New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira set a major league record when he homered from
both sides of the plate for the 12th time in his career during a win over the Chicago White Sox.
Today’s Birthdays Former Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., is 90. Actor Peter O’Toole is 80. Rock musician Garth Hudson (The Band) is 75. Movie director Wes Craven is 73.
Ten years ago A federal judge ruled the U.S. government had to reveal the names of people detained in the investigation of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks (an appeals court later sided with federal authorities). Pope John Paul II returned to Rome after ending an 11-day pilgrimage to Canada, Guatemala and Mexico.
Five years ago Mattel apologized to customers as it recalled nearly a million Chinese-made toys from its Fisher-Price division that were found to have excessive amounts of lead. A Marine Corps squad leader was convicted at Camp Pendleton, Calif., of murdering an Iraqi man during a frustrated search for an insurgent. (Sgt. Lawrence G. Hutchins III was sentenced to 15 years in prison; he spent four years behind bars before his conviction was overturned on grounds he hadn’t received a fair trial.)

Words Against the Lord Have you read the book of Malachi lately? I encourage you to do so. Malachi means “Messenger of Jehovah” or Messenger. The message seems to be addressed to the postexilic Jews after the temple was rebuilt and when sacrifices were being offered. Malachi warns the people about their religious laxity. They have dishonored God by neglect, mixed marriages and apostasy. He advises them to repent and assures the God-fearing people a divine favor. There were some who openly spoke against the Lord. “ Your words have been strong against me, said the Lord. Yet ye say, what have we spoken so much against thee? Ye have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?” - Malachi 3:14-15. They asserted that divine worship, obedience to God, and repentance were useless; that if they did those things they were no better off; and if they refused, they were none of the worse off. They had been lulled into a mind-set of unconcern. There are many today who speak against the Lord in every conceivable way. 1. Some speak words against God’s existence. They say the idea of God is only a fable. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” -Psalms 14:1. Man’s need of God is so great that those who know not the true God - create a god for themselves. 2. Some spread words against God’s creative power. They try to explain the world in terms of evolution. The correct explanation of creation is - “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” - Genesis 1:1 It had it’s beginning with an all-powerful, self-existent being. 3. Some speak against God’s Word. They deny the Bible being God’s inspired message. Holy men of God wrote down the inspired message of God, for man - 2 Peter 1:21 We are to follow. 4. Some speak against God’s sincerity. Some teach that God is behind all religious faiths; doctrines and bodies in the world. If so, then God is responsible for all the religious division. God is not responsible for the divided state of Christendom - Matt 16:13-20 Our obedience to the scriptures - unite with Christ - John 17: 20 -21.

Week was spent catching up on oddball jobs It’s been an odd sort of week. Drifting in time. Not that I haven’t had my engagements. Made it to church. A chiropractor’s appointment. Even a funeral. Got the bills paid and the bread made, that sort of thing. But I finished the last of the Harry Potters. (Yes, I reread the whole saga from start to finish every once in a joyous while.) Sat glued to the Olympics for hours at a stretch. Made sure I made it to the barn at least once a day to give our new kittens a nice, long petting. And it’s been one of those rare Time Outs when I can turn my attention to oddball jobs that take far more time than I want to give them, but aren’t quite pressing enough to get to the top of
The List. First, there was the fridge. Make that two fridges. Ryland I hadn’t Bruhwiler s y s t e m atically Columnist worked my way through those poor things since sometime last spring, much less wiped down their sticky shelves. Which meant that there were cartons of whoknows-what tucked into odd corners. Several fuzzy chunks of cheese and unidentifiables. A jar of strawberry jam that was over a year old. A Mason jar of drippings from (I think) a ham I baked so long ago I can’t recall the date -- and which I never
quite got around to adding to a pot of beans, either because it was too hot to even think about bean soup or because the jar got shoved behind the soy milk and the syrup. Out of sight, out of mind. Our downstairs fridge was even worse, stuffed so full of zucchinis I could hardly make room for the fat little watermelon I brought home from the store. I’ve been giving away zukes by the bagsful for weeks, but not the hefties. First time you get a glimpse of their cute selves deep down in the shadowy jungle of sprawling stems in their garden row, those innocents are three inches long and one thumb wide, too small to harvest.
Next thing you know, they’re bloated oblongs that blew up like party balloons in nothing flat. So I hauled the whole lot of them over to my friend Ms. Vergie’s, 15 to 20 pounds’ worth. Ms. Vergie’s been under the weather after a stint in the hospital, but she had the bacon frying when I walked into her door. I brought the tomatoes. Yessirree, nothing better than a bacon and tomato sandwich. One of the delights of summer. After lunch, I set up my cutting board on her kitchen table and started chopping up those monsters into tiny slices as we chatted. And chatted. And chopped. Took me almost two hours, I kid you not. They’ll get sautÊed with onions and green pepper,
bagged and frozen, and end up in quiches, soups, and omelets throughout the year. I don’t can green beans or fresh tomatoes, but a rich zucchini quiche is worth the effort. And I’m sure glad I didn’t let those veggies just go bad in that refrigerator. I’m sorry to say that was the sad fate of more pounds of produce than I should admit. Of course, the yard work is always calling, and I’d far more happily clean a dog pen than a fridge, any old day. Still, I never quite keep up. For instance, I’m still picking up branches from the summer storms, trundling them down to hollows where they get dumped. And I still have (very leggy) seedlings that didn’t make it into the
flower beds. So I spent a couple sessions tucking them into potted plants that could use some company. Also tackled a messy area ’round back that’s been bugging me for quite a while. Never have gotten the hang of using a weed eater. Loud and noisy and undoes my back. But I asked John to give me a reminder lesson (“Press this button. Open the choke....�) and I thrashed around with the thing ’till it ran out of cord. That job is still unfinished. But I’ll get back to it. Maybe. (Ryland Bruhwiler lives on a farm in McNairy County, Tenn. A special columnist for the Daily Corinthian, she can be contacted by email at downyonder@wildblue. net.)
Hearing loss can cause problems if it is left untreated BY TARA SPENCER Health Columnist
An estimated 28 million Americans have a hearing loss. Most people can be treated. Some signs of hearing loss include: ■Frequently asking people to repeat themselves or to speak more loudly ■Turning up the volume on the television or radio in order to hear ■Needing to look directly at a speaker’s face in order to understand them ■Having difficulty understanding what people are saying, especially in a crowded or noisy situation ■Avoiding certain social situations or events, due to difficulty hearing or understanding ■Frequent or constant ringing in one or both ears
Hearing loss t h a t occurs gradually as a person ages is called presbycusis Tara Spencer and is v e r y common, especially in adults over the age of 65. People’s heredity can make them more susceptible to hearing loss. Also, exposure to loud noises is a common contributor to hearing loss. Many occupations involve dangerous noise exposure which leads to hearing loss, such as farming, factory work and construction work. Additionally, noise exposure can be acquired through recreational pastimes, including attending con-
certs, using personal music and/or game players, riding motorcycles, car racing, and using power tools or lawn care equipment. In addition to these causes of permanent hearing loss, some conditions may lead to temporary hearing loss. These include earwax impaction and fluid accumulation in the middle ear. There are also medications, diseases, and illnesses which cause hearing loss. Outcomes for these vary. If a person suspects they or a loved one has a hearing loss, he/she should contact their doctor or audiologist. An audiologist is a hearing specialist who can diagnose and treat hearing disorders. When a hearing loss is suspected, an audiologist will complete a hearing test. Each ear will be tested individual-

People’s heredity can make them more susceptible to hearing loss. ly, using both speech and pure tone stimuli. The hearing test will then be explained, and treatment options will be discussed. The treatment option suggested will depend on the cause and type of hearing loss. For the temporary hearing loss caused by earwax impaction or middle ear fluid, earwax removal, medication, or surgery may be appropriate. For the permanent hearing loss caused by aging, heredity, or noise ex-
posure, hearing aids are the most common treatment. Hearing aids come in many shapes, sizes, styles, technology levels, and price ranges. The audiologist will guide the hearing impaired person to the best hearing aid options for him or her. Sadly, many people do not seek help for their permanent hearing loss. In addition to the personal difficulty hearing loss causes, it often causes lasting problems with
family and friends. Hearing loss can significantly affect a person’s quality of life. It can even lead to depression. On the contrary, hearing aid users frequently report improved relationships with family, friends, and co-workers, enhanced self-confidence, and an overall improvement in their outlook on life. (Tara Spencer, the audiologist at Magnolia Corinth Ear Nose & Throat, holds a Doctorate of Audiology and is Corinth’s only full-time audiologist. She is certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the American Academy of Audiology and licensed by the Mississippi State Board of Health.
