Daily Corinthian Vol. 117, No. 186
BY JEBB JOHNSTON The Board of Supervisors awarded a contract Monday morning for one road reseal project and striping on several county roads. Cook Coggin Engineers unsealed and tabulated the bids for the state aid road project with Bonds Company of Burnsville the low bidder at $170,317.91. The work includes resealing on Hurricane Creek Road, a total of 2.3 miles, and striping on Farmington Road, County
Road 435 and Theo Road, a total of 11 miles. Other bids were Kimes & Stone Construction Co. of Booneville, $170,974.76; B and M Paving of Fulton, $177,950.78; and Parsons Earthworks of Iuka, $189,829.86. In other state aid road projects, the board passed a motion needed to get the Five Points intersection project back on track. James Jones of Cook Coggin said the substance of the plan is unchanged, and the intersection is still planned to go from five intersecting roads to four.
The project was moving forward under the prior board before some resistance from property owners apparently derailed it. In other business: • The board gave approval for the Alcorn County Health Department to place signs prohibiting weapons. Sheriff Charles Rinehart said signs will be going up at the courthouse, and Chancery Clerk Bobby Marolt said he plans to put up signs at the Alcorn Chancery Building. • The board approved a Community Service Work Program
with supervisors Gail Childers and Laura Lawson. Youth will be involved in work such as picking up trash on Saturdays. The county will be reimbursed monthly by the Supreme Court of Mississippi Administrative Office of Courts. • The sheriff and board recognized David Derrick for again winning top honors with the DARE vehicle at the annual conference. A focus of the conference was preparing for the new “Keeping It Real” curriculum which will be used beginning this school year.

Woman indicted for hitting teacher BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com
A Prentiss County grand jury has returned an indictment involving a March case where a Prentiss County woman is accused of hitting a teacher. An indictment means the grand jury found there was sufficient evidence to send the case to trial but does not mean the person named is guilty of the charge. Angela Lane Nunley, 35, of 194 CR 1219, Booneville, was indicted on a charge of simple assault on a teacher. The indictment states she is accused of repeatedly striking the Hills Chapel teacher in the face with her fists. The grand jury returned 55 indictments after meeting June 24-28.

Wet spring is blessing, curse to TVA revenue KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Valley Authority didn’t sell as much electricity in its third fiscal quarter as last year’s equivalent period, but it produced more cheap power. “Both sales and revenues were down in the third quarter. This was offset largely by our efforts to reduce operating costs,” TVA President and CEO Bill Johnson said. The federal utility released its April-June financial results on Monday, showing power sales were off 4 percent in the third quarter. TVA officials said mild temperatures were the reason. However, the cooler temperatures were often caused by rainy weather and hydroelectric generation — TVA’s most economical source — was up 226 percent. Fuel costs for the year to date are $271 million higher than the same period a year ago due to nuclear outages requiring more generation from higher-cost sources, particularly coal. Total revenues were largely flat year to date while sales to local power companies were up 2
percent for the first nine months of the utility’s fiscal year. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, TVA reported a net loss of $12 million on $2.6 billion in operating revenues. The figures compare with a net loss of $23 million on $2.8 billion in revenues in the same period a year ago.
Oxford may increase water, sewer rates OXFORD (AP) — Oxford officials say water and sewer rates may rise by 5 percent in 2014 to pay for upgrades and increases in system capacity. City Engineer Bart Robinson tells the Oxford Eagle that for a household using 4,000 gallons a month, the monthly bill would increase by about $1.50. “Minimal users, who are mostly condo owners and people who aren’t here year-round, pay $15 a month for less than 2,000 gallons used,” Robinson said. “Their bill will go up 75 cents.” Robinson said for those whose bill is about $40 to $45 a month, they can expect about a $2 increase. The board of aldermen
will need to amend the local ordinance for the increase and hold a public hearing. The city also will also have to get approval from the Public Service Commission. “It’s a straight-forward project, but it’s a lengthy process,” Robinson said. “Optimistically, I’d like to see the raise in effect by mid-January.” Robinson said a new water plant is a $1.5 million project and another water tank for the east side of town will cost up to $2 million.

If the two parties had not agreed, UMMC would have been reimbursed at lower out-of-network rates, meaning patients would have faced higher out-of-pocket costs. “We’re glad that we were able to come to an agreement without any disruption in coverage,” Dr. James Keeton, UMMC vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine, said in a statement.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 6, 1945, during World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, resulting in an estimated 140,000 deaths. On this date: In 1813, during the Venezuelan War of Independence, forces led by Simon Bolivar recaptured Caracas. In 1825, Upper Peru became the autonomous republic of Bolivia. In 1862, the Confederate ironclad CSS Arkansas was scuttled by its crew on the Mississippi River near Baton Rouge, La., to prevent capture by the Union. In 1926, Gertrude Ederle became the first woman to swim the English Channel, arriving in Kingsdown, England, from France in 14½ hours. In 1930, New York State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crater went missing after leaving a Manhattan restaurant; his disappearance remains a mystery. In 1942, Queen Wilhemina of the Netherlands became the first reigning queen to address a joint session of Congress, telling lawmakers that despite Nazi occupation, her people’s motto remained, “No surrender.” In 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov became the second man to orbit Earth as he flew aboard Vostok 2. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. In 1973, former Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, 72, died in exile in Spain. Entertainer Stevie Wonder was seriously injured in a car accident in North Carolina. In 1978, Pope Paul VI died at Castel Gandolfo at age 80. In 1988, an attempt by New York City police to enforce a curfew in Tompkins Square Park triggered a melee that left 52 people injured and led to the filing of more than 110 claims of police brutality. In 1993, Louis Freeh won Senate confirmation to be FBI director. Ten years ago: Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger used an appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” to announce his successful bid to replace California Gov. Gray Davis. The same day, Lt. Gov.

Banks want end to tax-exempt status BY JEFF AYRES
By the numbers
The Clarion-Ledger
JACKSON (AP) — For decades, not-forprofit credit unions have enjoyed tax-exempt status as they emerged as legitimate contenders to banks, gaining new customers, especially as the recession caused many banks to tighten their lending policies. The banking industry says credit unions now enjoy an unfair competitive advantage as they broaden their services while not being taxed or held to the same regulatory standards. It’s calling for Congress to end the tax-exempt status as lawmakers look at tax code overhaul. Should that happen, it could fundamentally change how credit unions in Mississippi and elsewhere do business and affect the more than 570,000 people who belong to the state’s credit unions. “We would go out of existence. There’s no way we’d be able to stay in business” as credit unions, warns Charles Elliott Jr., president of the Mississippi Credit Union Association. Mac Deaver, president of the Mississippi Bankers Association, disagrees, saying it would simply create “an equal playing field.” Credit unions have been tax-exempt largely because they traditionally serve low-income clients who can’t get standard bank loans and other financial assistance or particular groups of clients, such as military members or grocery-store employees. They offer the same

Greenville resident Russell Clower Jr. says he’s belonged to a grocery-affiliated credit union since 1998. Now on long-term disability, he says his credit union typically waives service charges on depositing his checks because of the physical hardship he has of visiting his local branch to do so. He says he has a credit card through his credit union that he might not have gotten otherwise. “They give lower interest rates, lower rates on everything,” he said. Not paying taxes, however, means credit unions have caps on membership and what they can charge for fees and interest. Credit unions are member-owned but, unlike other not-forprofits, generally aren’t funded through donations. The banking industry is targeting in particular credit unions it feels have grown beyond their original missions by focusing on a particular region instead of client or income level, and that advertise
extensively. The American Bankers Association says the federal deficit has grown since 2001 in part because credit unions haven’t had to pay a total of $20.5 billion in federal income taxes during that time. “There are credit unions that have grown beyond recognition,” says James Ballentine, chief lobbyist for the ABA, which is pushing Congress to remove the tax-exempt status. “Some credit unions advertise, ‘If you can breathe, you can join a credit union.’ We’re saying, ‘Come on, compete with us. Just compete on a level playing field.’” While the banking industry hasn’t singled out specific Mississippi-based credit unions, Jackson’s Magnolia Federal Credit Union seems to be the kind of firm it has in mind. The credit union — which originated with area Veterans Affairs hospital
and clinic staffers as customers before broadening to include workers at other hospitals — reworked its charter about a decade ago to take on a more geographic focus, says its CEO, Steve Pollman. Its commercials air regularly on local television stations. It currently serves about 20,000 members, mainly in Hinds, Madison, Rankin, Simpson and Copiah counties, and merged with another credit union to bring its services to Leake County and parts of Scott County. Pollman maintains his credit union should remain tax-exempt because it hasn’t departed from its core mission of working with customers that banks won’t deal with, despite its membership and territorial growth. “We don’t have shareholders. We can’t go out and sell stock the way a bank can to make capital improvements. The taxexempt status allows us to be a better financial institution.” The ABA points to Jackson’s Hope Credit Union as an example of a credit union that has “aggressively expanded,” growing from $108,000 in lending activity in 2004 to $32 million last year. Hope CEO Bill Bynum said those numbers reflect the recession’s impact on lower-income residents’ ability to set up and maintain accounts and get loans from banks, in turn highlighting the contin-
ued need for tax-exempt credit unions. His institution took on new customers on at least a short-term basis in recent years when the towns of Utica and Edwards each lost their lone commercial bank. He says Hope remains dedicated to its original mission to provide financial services to the financially “underserved and unserved” in Mississippi, noting more than half his customers are minorities or women, and that more than half of his customers have been turned away by banks. “I don’t see many banks running in to those markets. During the recession, that trend has only gotten worse,” Bynum said. Deaver says he’s not interested in taxing credit unions that remain committed to a certain income level or profession. But those that aren’t should not only be taxed but also take on the level of audits and regulation banks do, he said, especially with those regulations costing banks more in a post-bailout landscape. “Our goal is not to put them out of business,” he said. But, “you and I, individually, paid more taxes than credit unions did last year. We have a concern with that.” In a time where calls for general tax reform are growing, the banking industry feels it has a solid shot at bringing about significant change to how credit unions function.

NSA overreach could endanger our safety BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN After the Vietnam War, the Pentagon reflected on its wartime policies and military tactics and came to understand that they fanned public distrust in the military, which in turn limited public support of their actions. Our defense leaders grasped that they needed to modify their tactics and policies in order to rebuild public confidence and soon military prestige was restored and the military’s effectiveness returned. The National Security Agency and the entire intelligence establishment needs to go through this same process of self-reflection and to realize that their overreaching in surveillance and their futile efforts to cover up what they are doing are undermining public support. Because we live in a democracy, unless the NSA grasps that it can’t continue to conceal and overreach and still get the public backing it needs to fulfill its mission, they may face a backlash which could cripple their efforts to protect us. One thinks back to the ‘70s when a Senate committee, headed by Idaho Democrat Senator Frank Church, investigated CIA activities and horrified Americans with its tales of secrecy, assassinations, abductions and the like. The results of the Church hearings were that the CIA was effectively crippled for a decade, and we were helplessly blind as a nation. But the criticism of the NSA will not be muted nor should it be. The agency is invading our privacy in outrageous ways that are inconsistent with democratic government. It refuses to be honest or open, and that defies accountable and transparent governance. General Petraeous understood that if the military in Iraq attacked civilians while trying to kill insurgents, the price of alienating ordinary Iraqis was not worth it. It is that sort of thinking we need at the NSA. They must grasp that if they push the envelope on surveillance and lie about it, they will undermine the democratic mandate they need to operate. I would have voted to cut off NSA surveillance funding to get their attention and to penetrate the arrogant, self-involved secrecy that permeates the agency. It was rejected by seven votes. Next time, it will probably pass until the NSA understands that it can’t do stuff like this and get away with it. If the surveillance is helpful in smashing terror plots, that’s just too bad. The NSA, like the New York Police Department, had better come up with ways to stop terrorists that comports with our notions of privacy and limitations on government action and authority. Of course, the NSA could go the other way and decide to double down and use its access to our secrets to terrify us and suppress dissent. Then we will be en route to a fascist state. One hopes that’s not on their menu of options, but sometimes I am not so sure. (Daily Corinthian columnist Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)
Prayer for today Lord, we pray You help us cast aside behaviors and attitudes that distract our minds or weigh our hearts down with the cares and mindset of this world; otherwise we will be caught off guard and fall into the enemy’s trap. Amen.

Big question for state in 2014: WWTD? JACKSON — What will Thad do? It’s the biggest question in Mississippi politics, heading into the 2014 federal elections. The state’s senior U.S. senator, Republican Thad Cochran, will turn 76 in December. He has served since January 1979 and is his party’s ranking member on the Agriculture Committee. His seat is up for election next year, but he pointedly has not said whether he’ll seek another six-year term. “Sen. Cochran hasn’t made a decision about his plans, but continues to work on priorities like passing a new Farm Bill and working on other issues important to Mississippi,” the spokesman for his Senate office, Chris Gallegos, said in response to a recent question from The Associated Press. Congress was working in Washington this past week, so Cochran didn’t speak at the Neshoba County Fair. The annual gathering in the red clay hills of east central Mississippi includes two days of old-fashioned stump speaking. Even in years like this, with no statewide or federal elections, politicians
go there to connect with thousands of potential voters. While Cochran wasn’t Emily at Neshoba, Wagster several of Pettus his supporters wanCapitol Dome dered the fairgrounds wearing “THAD” T-shirts and stickers. On Thursday, the senator’s Twitter account featured an old black-and-white photo of him speaking in Founder’s Square Pavilion, with the message: “Enjoy the Neshoba County Fair, ‘Mississippi’s Giant House Party.’” Voters can expect a stampede of people to run if Cochran doesn’t. One key will be starting with enough name recognition to raise millions for a campaign. On the Republican side, the list of potential candidates includes U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper of Pearl, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann of Jackson and state Sen. Chris McDaniel of Ellisville. On the Democratic side, there’s former
Gov. Ray Mabus of Madison, who’s now secretary of the Navy, and former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove of Madison, who unsuccessfully challenged Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker in 2008. Cochran is a former chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and in the past four decades has helped steer billions of federal dollars to Mississippi, one of the poorest states in the nation. The money was for everything from defense contracts and highway construction to Hurricane Katrina recovery projects. Cochran was born in Pontotoc and his family moved to Byram when he was a child. He now lives in Oxford. He attended the University of Mississippi, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1959 and a law degree in 1965. As an undergraduate, he was an Ole Miss cheerleader. Cochran served in the Navy from 1959 to 1961, and practiced law in Jackson from 1965 to 1972. He was elected to the U.S. House in 1972 in a central Mississippi seat that in-
cluded Jackson. He served three consecutive terms until he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1978, succeeding longtime Democratic Sen. James O. Eastland, who retired. When he was sworn in as senator in January 1979, Cochran became the first Mississippi Republican to hold a statewide office since Reconstruction. Cochran is viewed as a moderate, although his voting record has a conservative tilt. His appeal has crossed political lines. In 2010, he worked with two Mississippi colleagues, Republican Sen. Wicker and Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, to name the new FBI building in Jackson the James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner and Special Agent Roy K. Moore Federal Building. The name honors three civil rights workers who were killed in Neshoba County in 1964, and the agent who established after the slayings Mississippi’s first FBI field office. Cochran also crossed party lines in April 2009, urging the Senate to confirm Mabus as Navy secretary.
The bad results of busy-body politics It is hard to read a newspaper, or watch a television newscast, without encountering someone who has come up with a new “solution” to society’s “problems.” Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than there are problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today’s problems are a result of yesterday’s solutions. San Francisco and New York are both plagued with large “homeless” populations today, largely as a result of previous housing “reforms” that made housing more expensive, and severely limited how much housing, and of what kind, could be built. The solution? Spend more of the taxpayers’ money making homelessness a viable lifestyle for more people. Education is a field with endless reforms, creating endless problems, requiring endless solutions. One of the invincible fallacies among educators is that all sorts of children can be educated in the same classroom. Not just children of different races, but children of different abilities, languages, and values. Isn’t it nice to think so? I suspect that even most conservatives would prefer to live in the kind of world conjured up in the liberals’

imagination, rather than in the kind of world we are in fact stuck with. The result Thomas is that many Sowell very bright children are Columnist bored to the point of becoming behavior problems, when the school work is slowed to a pace within the range of students who are slower learners. By federal law, even children with severe mental or emotional problems must be “mainstreamed” into classes for other students -- often in disregard of how much this disrupts these classes and sacrifices the education of the other children. Parents who complain about the effect of these “solutions” on their own children’s education are made to feel guilty for not being more “understanding” about the problems of handicapped students. Nothing is easier for third party busybodies than being “understanding” and “compassionate” at someone else’s expense -- especially if the busybodies have their own children in private schools, as so many public school educators do. Whether in housing,
education or innumerable other aspects of life, the key to busybody politics, and its endlessly imposed “solutions,” is that third parties pay no price for being wrong. This not only presents opportunities for the busybodies to engage in moral preening, but also to flatter themselves that they know better what is good for other people than these other people know for themselves. Right now, there are people inside and outside of government who are proposing new restrictions on how you may or may not visit the national parks that your taxes support. Among their proposals is doing away with trash cans in these parks, so that visitors have to take their trash out with them. Just how they would enforce this, when millions of people are visiting places like Yosemite or Yellowstone, is something the busybodies need not bother to think through -- much less pay a price, when trash simply accumulates in these parks after trash cans are removed. ObamaCare is perhaps the ultimate in busybody politics. People who have never run a hospital blithely prescribe what must be done by the entire medical system,

from doctors to hospitals to producers of pharmaceutical drugs to health insurance companies. This includes federal laws requiring the turning over of patients’ confidential medical records to the federal government, where these records can be looked at by politicians, bureaucrats and whoever can hack into the government’s computers. Neither you nor your doctor has a right to keep this information confidential. What could lead anyone to believe that they have either the right or the omniscience to dictate to hundreds of millions of other people? Our educational system may have something to do with that, with their constant promotion of “self-esteem,” and especially their emphasis on developing “leaders.” Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do. The price of their self-indulgence is the sacrifice of our freedom. If we don’t defend ourselves against them, who will?

School can’t ban ‘boobies’ bracelets PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Monday that a Pennsylvania school district cannot ban “I (heart) Boobies!” bracelets, rejecting the district’s claim that the slogan — designed to promote breast cancer awareness among young people — is lewd. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also concluded that school officials didn’t prove the bracelets were disruptive. “Because the bracelets here are not plainly lewd and because they comment on a social issue, they may not be categorically banned,” Judge D. Brooks Smith wrote in the 9-5 decision. The ruling is a victory for two Easton Area School District girls who challenged the school rule in 2010 with help from the American Civil Liberties Union. Easton is one of several school districts around the country to ban the bracelets, which are distributed by the nonprofit Keep A Breast Foundation of Carlsbad, Calif. ACLU lawyer Mary Catherine Roper said the ruling supports the rights of students to discuss important topics. “It explicitly says school children talk about important things, and when they (do) ... that’s the kind of speech we want to protect and promote,” Roper said. The teens, Brianna Hawk and Kayla Martinez, testified that they merely hoped to promote awareness of the disease at their middle school. They filed suit when they were suspended for defying the ban on their school’s Breast Cancer Awareness Day. In their dissent Monday, the five judges said the majority had wrongly reasoned that schools cannot limit student speech involving social commentary, even if it “could reasonably be deemed lewd, vulgar, plainly offensive, or constituting sexual innuendo.”
Officials: NY man tried to sell baby NEW YORK (AP) — A 22-year-old man angry with a woman he dated posted photos of her 2-month-old daughter in a Craigslist ad and tried to sell the baby for $100, prosecutors said Monday. Paul Marquez posted an ad entitled “baby for sale,” prosecutors said. Marquez’s posting acted as if he were the parent, said the baby loved to play and have fun, but had asthma and was “really getting on my nerves.” “I don’t want her Please email me,” it read, authorities said. Marquez was charged Thursday by Staten Island prosecutors with endangering the welfare of a child, harassment and a social service violation of authority to place or board out children. He was being held in lieu of $1,000 bail. A call to his attorney wasn’t returned. According to the criminal complaint, Marquez, who works as a stockperson at a Victoria’s Secret, admitted he posted the listing just to get back at the woman. The two met online and had been out a few times, but he appar-
ently was angry because she wouldn’t pay him enough attention, authorities said. Prosecutors say Marquez gave the mother’s phone number to a person who answered the ad, who then called the mother. She notified police. Staten Island investigators are looking into that person’s request — the call may have been out of concern and not an illegal attempt to purchase a child. There was no indication Marquez actually meant to sell the infant. The posting was located in the Staten Island section of Craigslist under baby and kid stuff, for sale by owner. It was flagged and taken down at least once, but Marquez reposted it, authorities said. Marquez faces up to a year behind bars if convicted.
Man held in Venice Beach rampage LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man who spent time in jail for shoplifting in Colorado was in custody Monday for investigation of running down a dozen people along the Venice Beach boardwalk, including an Italian tourist who was living her dream of honeymooning in California. Little information was released about 38-yearold Nathan Louis Campbell, who was arrested for investigation of murder after he walked into a police station several hours after the rampage and said he was involved. He remained in custody on $1 million bail. Court records showed Campbell was sentenced to five days in jail after pleading guilty to shoplifting at a Denver Pavilions in February 2009. Five months later, he was accused of trespassing at an outdoor mall in Denver and sentenced to 10 days in jail, the records show. Campbell lived in Colorado at least as recently as last year. He was evicted from his apartment in Denver for
not paying $655 in rent in March 2012, records show. Police have not yet presented their case to prosecutors, and they declined to discuss a possible motive. However, Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese said there was no indication the attack was a terrorist act or that anyone else was involved.
Embassies still shut, US looks for targets WASHINGTON (AP) — American spies and intelligence analysts on Monday scoured email, phone calls and radio communications between al-Qaida operatives in Yemen and the organization’s senior leaders to determine the timing and targets of a potentially spectacular attack that officials said they came across in monitoring militants’ “chatter.” Lawmakers have said it was a massive plot in the final stages, but they offered no specifics. Intelligence officials told The Associated Press that the target could be a single embassy or a number of posts, or still other Western objectives. The diffuse nature of the monitored information led the Obama administration to close diplomatic posts from Mauritania on Africa’s west coast through the Middle East to Bangladesh, east of India, and as far south as Madagascar. The U.S. did decide to reopen some posts on Monday, including welldefended embassies in Kabul, Afghanistan, and Baghdad. Officials wouldn’t say who intercepted the initial suspect communications that kicked off the sweeping pre-emptive closure of U.S. facilities. But an intelligence official said the controversial NSA programs that gather data on American phone calls or track Internet communications with suspected terrorists played no part in detecting the initial tip.
Why Reject Christ? Our Eternal God is the source of all religious authority. In matters of religion we must be guided by His teaching. How much authority in heaven and earth belongs to Jesus Christ? “All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth”—Matt. 28:19. Therefore, we must not accept anything as true and divine in religion which does not agree with Jesus’s authority. By His authority Jesus has given us all of the teaching we need in order to be saved and live the Christian life acceptable unto God. Read John 6:68-69; 17:3; 2 Peter 1:3. The New Testament scriptures presents Jesus Christ as Divine—John 1:1; Prophet—Acts 7:37; King—I Timothy 4:14-15; High Priest— Hebrews 7:23-28; Savior and Redeemer—Titus 2:13-14. These scriptures emphasize the preeminence and authority of Jesus Christ. Accepting the authority of Jesus Christ means accepting the authoritative New Testament teaching of His apostles. To reject the apostles’ teaching is to reject Christ authority—Luke 10:16. The apostles were the Lord’s personal messengers or witnesses, on earth. The apostle Paul wrote, “we—apostles—are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech you on the behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God”—2 Cor. 5:20. The apostle John wrote, “We— apostles—are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”—I John 4:6 The person who accepts the authority of Jesus Christ will also accept the New Testament teaching which came through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Before Christ left the earth to return to His Father in heaven, the Lord promised to send His apostles the Holy Spirit to bear witness of Jesus Christ and instruct them in His teachings and authority so that they could proclaim him and His teachings to men—John 14:26; 15:26-27. Through New Testament teachings the Holy Spirit convicts people “in respect of sin, and of rightousness; and of judgement”— John 16:7-11. Men who claim a special revelation from God, but whose teachings are different to the gospel of Christ, are imposters, false teachers. Those persons who teach and do that which the Bible does not authorize or apporve are without Christ. “Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God—” 2 John 9. We must follow and obey Christ’s teaching.

Julia Guice dies BILOXI (AP) — At 5-foot-2, Julia Guice was a small, energetic package of innovative ideas and safety know-how that commanded the respect of her Biloxi hometown and the Mississippi coast. Mayors listened to her. Citizens prepared for hurricanes at her urging. Researchers and volunteers spent months digging with her through old records to help the community preserve three centuries of history. Guice died Monday, just 12 days shy of the 44th anniversary of Hurricane Camille, the Category 5 storm that wrecked her beloved Gulf Coast and unwittingly pushed her and husband Wade into the national spotlight. With 172 dead or missing and seven towns flattened by 200-plus mph winds, the 1969 storm defined who they were as couple and as Civil Defense directors. After her health took a turn for the worst in late July, friends and family began wondering if Guice would will herself to stay around for Camille’s Aug. 17 anniversary. In 1996, her 69-year-old husband died from a recurring cancer, one day after that anniversary. She lived to be 85, and each year on the date of Camille’s arrival, Guice led the emotional reading of victims’ names on the Hurricane Camille Memorial Wall. Thirty years after the storm, still convinced that previous lists were incomplete, she began scouring the country for
the correct number and names of Camille’s dead and missing. The end result of Guice’s dogged research is the memorial wall, for which she also led fundraising to erect on the beachfront grounds of her church, Episcopal Church of the Redeemer.
Court hears sides in trade secrets JACKSON (AP) — Attorneys for Eaton Corp. asked the Mississippi Supreme Court on Monday to reinstate its $1 billion trade secrets lawsuit against a rival, Frisby Aerospace. A Hinds County judge in 2010 threw out the case, saying Eaton knew about and sanctioned secret actions that attorney Ed Peters took to influence former judge Bobby DeLaughter, the initial judge on the case. Frisby attorneys say Peters worked behind the scenes to influence DeLaughter and give Ea-
ton an unfair advantage in the civil case. Eaton attorney Luther Munford argued Monday that there was no “clear and convincing evidence” that Eaton was guilty of fraud and the lower court used the wrong standard in dismissing the case and issuing a $1.5 million fine. “The evidence before the court was not sufficient to support the sanction,” Munford said. Eaton alleged in its lawsuit that five former Eaton engineers took aerospace information and gave it to their new employer, Frisby. Eaton and Frisby, which is now part of Triumph Group, compete for military and commercial contracts. Munford also argued that the engineers hurt Eaton’s business by taking 16,000 documents. Frisby attorney Alan Perry countered that the lawsuit was rightly dismissed for somebody “possibly trying to fix a case.”

Republicans want programs pulled WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican National Committee charged Monday that NBC and CNN are promoting a potential presidential candidacy by Hillary Rodham Clinton, threatening to blackball them from future GOP primary debates if they air upcoming programs on the former secretary of state. RNC chairman Reince Priebus called a planned NBC miniseries on Clinton and a CNN documentary on the first lady an “extended commercial” for a future Clinton presidential campaign. In separate letters to the networks, he urged them to cancel “this political ad masquerading as an unbiased production.” Clinton has not yet said whether she’ll run for president again in 2016 but her future remains the subject of wide speculation in political circles and beyond. The primary debates typically provide a ratings boost for the networks and are highly-coveted as the presidential campaign unfolds.
‘Obamacare’ accounts debut WASHINGTON (AP) — You can now open your own personal “Obamacare” account — but you’ll have to wait awhile before you can actually use it to pick a health insurance plan. Just eight weeks before the Oct. 1 launch of open enrollment under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law, administration officials announced Monday that the Affordable Care Act is a step closer to reality for millions of uninsured Americans. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said consumers can now go online to healthcare. gov and create personal accounts by establishing a username and password.
Critics focus on health law delay WASHINGTON (AP) — For many House conservatives, President Barack Obama’s decision to delay a central provision of his health care law has emerged as a major arguing point — not against that law but in opposition to immigra-
tion legislation In the weeks since the announcement that employers won’t have to provide health insurance for another year, complaints have increased among House Republicans that they can’t trust the Obama administration to implement any law they pass. That includes strict requirements for immigrants, tighter border security and genuine workplace hiring enforcement.
House GOP plans antiWashington push WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans will take a carefully orchestrated, staunchly antiWashington campaign to voters this month, blaming President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats for Americans’ unhappiness with government. “Every day I serve in Congress, I work to fight Washington,” says a suggested op-ed in a richly detailed “planning kit” distributed to all 234 House Republicans ahead of the August recess. Running against Washington is an old strategy. Ronald Reagan summarized it only minutes after being sworn in as president in January 1981. “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem,” he told the country. “Government is the problem.” Even if there’s little new about the tactic, it requires some finesse, or selective forgetfulness, by Republican incumbents seeking reelection to a House that their party controls. “Part II” of the House Republican Conference’s August planning kit focuses on the GOP’s accomplishments, aides said.
Prosecutors give video to Hernandez defense ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — Prosecutors provided Aaron Hernandez’s defense team Monday with the surveillance video from a Boston nightclub where the former New England Patriot and his friend allegedly had a dispute a few days before the man’s slaying. Defense attorney James Sultan said outside Attleboro District Court that he received a “substantial amount” of material and that the legal team would immediately begin combing through it as they seek to clear Hernandez’s name. Neither side described exactly what is on the video.

Fort Hood survivors to face gunman at trial BY ALLEN G. BREED & RAMIT PLUSHNICKMASTI Associated Press
LILLINGTON, N.C. — Alonzo Lunsford has trouble getting out of chairs and warns his family to wake him gently. Kathy Platoni can’t shake the image of the man who died in a pool of blood at her knees. Shawn Manning still has two bullets in his body and gets easily unnerved by crowds. Survivors of the 2009 shooting rampage that claimed the lives of 13 people at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas fight these demons daily. Now after years of delay, they will come face to face with Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who goes on trial in the attack starting Tuesday. After dismissing his attorneys, Hasan got permission to represent himself, putting him in the unusual position of asking questions of the very people he admits targeting. Hasan, a Muslim who argues he was protecting the Taliban from American aggression, was shot by a civilian police officer
and is now in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the abdomen down. Manning dreads the courtroom confrontation. “I have to keep my composure and not go after the guy,” said Manning, a mental health specialist who was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan with Hasan. “I’m not afraid of him, obviously. He’s a paralyzed guy in a wheelchair, but it’s sickening that he’s still living and breathing.” Lunsford — a now-retired staff sergeant who was shot seven times — relishes the thought of staring at Hasan and telling him that he did not win. Like Manning, he carries two bullets with him — one in a small wooden box, the other in his back. “That man strikes no fear in my heart. He strikes no fear in my family. What he did to me was bad. But the biggest mistake that he made was I survived. So he will see me again,” he said as he sat on his porch in Lillington, rubbing the shiny slug between his fingers. “I will never show any fear in the face of my en-
emy,” he added. “Never.” Platoni just hopes she can keep her composure enough to support the family of Capt. John Gaffaney, the friend and soldier who died next to her. The families of people who were killed struggle with a roller coaster of emotions, too. Eduardo Caraveo, whose father, Libardo Eduardo Caraveo, died, took a few weeks of leave from his job as a prison supervisor to deal with his emotions ahead of the trial. “You’re going to hear stuff ... that you don’t know how you’re going to take,” he said. Joleen Cahill, whose husband, Mike Cahill, was shot six times after he lifted a chair to try to stop Hasan, has struggled with the loneliness of an empty house. Now she wants to ensure that her anger doesn’t take over during the trial. “I want to be the one in control here, not him,” she said. In the large hall where troops were preparing for upcoming deployments, everyone was unarmed. Everyone except Hasan.
Manning, who had gotten married just a few weeks before the shooting, was almost done for the day. Platoni had left the hall and was in a nearby dome-shaped building. Left behind were her friends — including Caraveo — sitting in a row of chairs. Then in an instant, lives were changed forever. “I hear someone yell ‘allahu akbar,’” recalled Manning, who had done two previous deployments in Iraq. “Usually something bad is going to follow after that, so I look up at him and he started shooting. He probably fired five or six shots before he shot me in the chest.” For a moment, Manning thought it was a military drill using paint balls. But then he saw the blood pouring from his chest. People were screaming. Manning crawled to a nook, trying to take cover. Too many people were there, and Hasan kept shooting him. So he played dead. Soldiers running into the nearby dome shouted there was an attack. Platoni, thinking of her
friends, ran over, trying to get through the doors. But other soldiers were already bringing out the wounded. There was her friend Gaffaney, bleeding to death. The memories are “there all the time when I’m not otherwise actively engaged in patients or doing gardening,” Platoni said. “It’s something that haunts me constantly.” About 10 minutes after the shooting started, the horror ended. And another began. Manning and Lunsford spent weeks in hospitals. Both have since retired from the military. Platoni deployed to Afghanistan barely a month later, setting aside the grief and trauma to do her job. Manning, who lives in Lacey, Wash., and Lunsford continue to fight for military wages they say they lost when officials ruled that the attack was not a terrorist act and their wounds were not related to combat. Manning still faces surgery to remove at least one bullet from his thigh and possibly one from his back. A few months ago, he returned to work
at Fort Lewis. Platoni still works as a clinical psychologist for the military, as well as in her private life in Centreville, Ohio. They are no longer relaxed in large crowds. Their tempers are more volatile. When Lunsford is asleep, he needs to be awakened with a gentle tap on his foot — not shaken like other people. Platoni keeps a loaded gun under her desk. A few hope that Hasan receives the death penalty. “The same way he tried to kill us. Or, if he wants to be put to death, and he wants to follow Islamic law, then he can be put to death according to Islamic law, which is by stoning,” Lunsford said. “I would love to be the first one, to throw the first pitch. That would be a joy. But we’re better than that as a people. We don’t do that.” Realistically, Manning says, Hasan may never be put to death. But that may not be a total disappointment. “Living in a cell, paralyzed for the rest of his life,” he says, “is some sort of justice as well.”
Some companies helping immigrants obtain US citizenship BY AMY TAXIN Associated Press
SANTA ANA, Calif. — For immigrants working toward the American Dream, some employers are now helping them reach their dream of becoming Americans. Health clinics, hotels and a clothing factory are pairing up with immigrant advocates to offer on-site citizenship assistance as one of the perks of the job in greater Los Angeles, Miami, Washington and Silicon Valley as they aim to make naturalization more convenient for the 8.5 million legal immigrants eligible to become U.S. citizens. The effort is billed as a win-win for both employee and employers: Workers avoid legal fees and having to shuttle to and from law offices to complete applications; companies create a deeper bond with immigrant workers and there’s little cost as nonprofits pick up the tab. “You create some sense of loyalty,” said Leonie Timothee, human resources manager at Inter-
Continental Miami, a luxury hotel that has helped six employees apply to naturalize since last year. “It is going to be a part of you for the rest of your life, and to know your place of employment helped you, assisted you in becoming a citizen — I think that’s a great deal.” In most cases, immigrants can apply to become an American citizen after having a green card for five years and passing English and civics tests. But they often take longer to do so because they can’t afford the application fees, fear their English isn’t good enough or simply don’t know enough about the process, studies have shown. While high-tech companies frequently sponsor foreign workers for visas or green cards, most companies haven’t gotten involved in the naturalization process. Their involvement usually ends at getting work papers unless the employee needs to travel extensively overseas or obtain national security clearance only available

to a citizen, said Angelo Paparelli, an immigration attorney who specializes in employment-based issues. Since last year, 19 companies have signed up to participate in the effort by the Washington-based National Immigration Forum to help more people become citizens. The focus of the so-called Bethlehem Project is on lowwage workers, who often face additional hurdles to naturalization such as long hours and extensive commutes and who may lack the cash to hire an immigration lawyer to help them complete the paperwork. Uruguayan native Yolanda Oruc said she could have become an American citizen three years ago but didn’t have the money for attorney’s fees. When the 52-yearold who restocks hotel room mini bars learned her employer had brought in immigration experts to help her fill out the papers for free, she jumped at the chance and naturalized in July. “I didn’t have a way to
often can’t make the halfhour or hour-long trip to an advocate’s office for help. While unions historically played a role in helping workers naturalize, businesses didn’t often get involved. But companies may be looking for ways to hang onto low-wage workers as immigration to the U.S. has waned and the economy starts improving, said Louis DeSipio, a professor of political science and Chicano/Latino studies at University of California, Irvine. He said larger companies with a sizable immigrant workforce are more likely to join such an effort. “In tough economic times, keeping your workers isn’t so valuable,” he said. “Now as we’re moving back into a tighter job market it makes sense for employers to find ways to hold on particularly to low-wage employees.”

offered its immigrant workers free English-language instruction. Some businesses are also offering their own citizenship-related perks. Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles, Fla., is paying for English classes to help its employees pass the citizenship test, said Linda Geyer, the hotel’s general manager. The hotel is also offering interest-free loans and letting workers cash out vacation time to cover the cost of citizenship application fees. Evan Bacalao, senior director of civic engagement at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, said he’d like to expand the program to help naturalize workers in big factories and warehouses in Southern California’s Inland Empire. The region consists of suburbs spread over miles where immigrants

become a citizen because I didn’t have the money,” said Oruc, who works at The Betsy Hotel in Miami’s South Beach. For starters, companies host a free information session run by a nonprofit to let employees know about the process of becoming a citizen. The agencies then hold oneon-one meetings to help fill out the necessary paperwork. Some employers go further and front the government’s $680 naturalization application fee and deduct the funds from pay checks, said Jennie Murray, manager of the Bethlehem Project. The effort is funded in part by the New Americans Campaign, which is a broader push to encourage citizenship through workshops, training sessions and the development of a mobile app to help immigrants determine if they’re eligible to become Americans. Overall, about $500,000 has been donated to jumpstart the project named for Bethlehem Steel, which in 1915

Mixed signals The Federal Reserve plans to pare the stimulus it has been providing the economy when the job market improves. Some economists expect the Fed may act in September, while others suggest December or even later. Investors looked to last week’s economic reports to provide a clearer picture. Instead the outlook remains unclear: Jobs: Employers added 162,000 jobs in July, the fewest since March and below the average monthly gain of 197,500 in the first half of this year. Average pay fell and Americans worked fewer hours. The weak report intensified speculation that the Fed could wait until December. GDP: The economy expanded at an annual rate of 1.7
percent in the April-June quarter, following a 1.1 percent pace in the first quarter. That’s usually too slow to generate much hiring. Economists were disappointed but noted that the Fed typically puts more weight on jobs and inflation data. Auto sales: Auto sales slowed slightly in July to an annual pace of 15.7 million, but that’s up from a rate of 14 million a year ago. That suggests consumers are confident enough to make big purchases. Manufacturing: Factories revved up production and took in a surge of orders in July. Factory activity expanded at the fastest pace in two years, raising hopes that manufacturing would drive faster growth.
A stimulus slowdown? Economic growth that’s too weak to rapidly lower unemployment was among the factors casting doubt on action by the Fed. GDP growth, annual rate 5%

retirement? Let’s talk.
Entertainment company 21st Century Fox reports fiscal fourth-quarter results today. The company owns TV channels such as Fox News and FX, as well as the film studio behind “The Wolverine.� Since the end of June, it has been operating separately from a weaker newspaper and book publishing arm, which was spun off under the company’s original name, News Corp. Wall Street expects Fox to report a profitable quarter.
MARKET SUMMARY G

Eye on trade The nation’s trade gap has been growing this year, reaching its highest level in six months in May. The trend is partly the result of a sluggish global economy, which depresses U.S. exports. The trade deficit increased to $45 billion in May. Exports fell, with sales of American farm products sliding to the lowest point in more than two years. The Commerce Department reports data on the trade deficit for June today.

Wall Street anticipates that CVS Caremark’s latest quarterly earnings will show gains in earnings and revenue.

This exposes those drugs to cheaper generic competition, which can benefit CVS.

Help is plentiful for military veterans going back to school DEAR ABBY: This letter is for “Torn in Milford, Conn.” (May 16). I returned to college after 20 years of active duty and know firsthand how difficult the transition can be. Most universities have a veterans’ service office where he might be able to connect with students with similar backgrounds and experiences to his. There should also be chapters of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars where he can meet others. I was fortunate that the university I attended (at age 45) had a dorm floor specifically for “nontraditional” students like me. In classes, I was able to make friends because my unique experiences enabled me to connect to the material in ways younger students could not, and by sharing those connections, people got to know me. Starting over -- starting something new -- is always difficult, but no education is ever wasted. If he does want to explore a career in security, “Torn” should take a part-time job while attending school to help cover expenses; universities always need highly skilled employees, and university towns are filled with venues that require such skills. That being said, a diploma will get him further in his future. -- NONTRADITIONAL STUDENT,
EKALAKA, MONT. D E A R NONTRADITIONAL STUDENT: Thank you for sharing Abigail your personal Van Buren experience. Your support and encourDear Abby agement for “Torn” to complete his college education was endorsed by many other vets and college professors, who find vets to be great students: DEAR ABBY: I’m concerned that there may be more going on with “Torn” than just that he/ she doesn’t fit in with peers in school. Being a combat vet and feeling disconnected from peers or having a desire to return to what they knew before (security work) is a sign of PTSD. Missing work is often “code” for survivor’s guilt. (”If I could go back and make it right, perhaps my buddy would be here, or I would be with my buddy.”) There are services available for vets suffering from PTSD if they recognize the need to reach out for them. Also, if this vet is using his/her educational benefits, then the chances of there being a training plan to help in read-
justment is likely. -- VET WHO MADE IT THROUGH DEAR ABBY: I am a longtime college professor. Many bright students, young and old, have similar complaints. “Torn,” you sound like a great student, as many vets are. Try evening classes. They’re usually available to any enrolled student and are the same courses taught in day sections. Students enrolled in these classes are mostly working adults who are more dedicated. See if your college has online courses, so you won’t have to deal with the students in person, although you may have to take part in online discussions. Check out your college’s career services office and find a parttime job. This will give you a different peer group, plus give you some experience in your field. Your college’s veterans’ office may also have helpful resources for you. I hope these ideas will help your college experience to be more pleasant and productive. -DR. M. IN OKLAHOMA CITY (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.)
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). The people who bring you joy and the people who bring you stress are one and the same now. The effort you put into making relationships good is a big part of what endears you to others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Unexpected encounters have more of a charge to them than the expected ones. That’s why it’s worth it to come up with a few surprises, especially if you’re meeting familiar people. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If it seems like a relationship is changing and perhaps growing a bit more distant, that’s because it is. It’s for the better. You’ll be closer in the end for having this momentary luxury of personal space. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There may be a few instances in which you feel comfortable enough to let someone lead you through dangerous territory. Just be careful not to assume a false sense of security in this situation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a dynamic presence, and you’ll shine in the right moment. But don’t try to shine all of the time. It only attracts too much attention, and you won’t know what to do with it all. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Defending your space is important, but if that’s all you do, you’ll have too narrow of a life. Letting people infringe on you a bit may be just the thing that’s needed to break open a new adventure. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have to talk to communicate. In fact, you cannot (SET ITAL) not (END ITAL) communicate. The very way you animate your body is a message. Your awareness in this regard makes you most effective today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to be assertive but not dominating. You’ll walk a narrow line with this today. Stay aware of the feedback others give you, and you’ll remain in good graces. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). As you express your honest feelings and needs, you may remember a time when you didn’t feel at liberty to do so. You no longer have a reason to take the submissive role, and this is something to celebrate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today’s luck centers on your emotional life. You’ll experience improvements not only in how you are feeling, but also in how you are processing and acting on those feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Those who aren’t ready for change will dig in their heels. Maybe they secretly want to see how powerful you are. Will you take them for a ride even though they fight you the whole way? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you swallow your opinions and don’t stand up for yourself, eventually you’ll spout off in the manner of Mount Vesuvius. So speaking up along the way is actually the kindest way to interact with others.

NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 and All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece Monday when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players in a drug case — the most sweeping punishment since the Black Sox scandal nearly a century ago. Ryan Braun’s 65-game suspension last month and previous penalties bring to 18 the total number of players sanctioned for their relationship to Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic in Florida accused of distribut-
ing banned performing-enhancing drugs. The harshest penalty was reserved for Rodriguez, the New York Yankees slugger, a three-time Most Valuable Player and baseball’s highestpaid star. He said he will appeal his suspension, which covers 211 games, by Thursday’s deadline. And since arbitrator Fredric Horowitz isn’t expected to rule until November or December at the earliest, Rodriguez was free to make his season debut Monday night and play the rest of this season. The other 12 players agreed to their 50-game penalties before they were announced,
giving them a chance to return for the playoffs. MLB said A-Rod’s drug penalty was for “his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone over the course of multiple years.” His punishment under the labor contract was “for attempting to cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the office of the commissioner’s investigation.” Rodriguez admitted four years ago that he used PEDs while with Texas from 2001-

Coach Kevin Sumlin on Monday said he would not speculate when asked if Johnny Manziel will be his starter on Aug. 31 against Rice following an ESPN report that the NCAA is investigating whether the Heisman Trophy winner was paid for signing hundreds of autographs last January. “There’s a lot of people involved in that decision,” Sumlin said without being specific. If Manziel was paid for his
Reigning Heisman Trophy winner and Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has had an eventful off-season.

03, but has repeatedly denied using them since. Sidelined since hip surgery in January, Rodriguez was due to rejoin the Yankees five hours after the suspension, in a series opener at the Chicago White Sox. He was scheduled to play third base and bat fourth. “I am disappointed with the penalty and intend to appeal and fight this through the process. I am eager to get back on the field and be with my teammates in Chicago tonight,” Rodriguez said in a statement. He arrived at U.S. Cellular Field in a dark Cadil-
TAMPA, Fla. — Former 1,000-yard rusher Peyton Hillis is hoping a change of scenery will help him get a once-promising NFL career back on track. The sixth-year pro signed a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last month and is competing for a job to play behind Pro Bowl running back Doug Martin. Hillis rushed for nearly 1,200 yards and scored 13 touchdowns for Cleveland in 2010, however he hasn’t been nearly as productive over the past two seasons with the Browns and Kansas City Chiefs.
Martin ran for more than 1,400 yards as a rookie in 2012, but the Bucs don’t have an established backup. They are giving Hillis, another veteran Brian Leonard and rookie Mike James a chance to earn the role. “I’m here, trying to do the best that I can,” Hillis said. “I’ve been humbled over the past couple of years, and I’m just happy to be in a place they want me to be and a place where I can try to produce again.” Hillis entered the NFL as a seventh-round draft pick in 2008 and started eight games
in two seasons with the Denver Broncos. He moved to Cleveland three years old ago and flourished in a featured role with the Browns, rushing for 1,177 yards and catching 61 passes for another 477 yards. The 6-foot-2, 250-pound running back became a fan favorite during his breakout season and was selected to appear on the cover of the next year’s Madden video game. His career has been in decline ever since. Injuries have been a factor. And at least one former teammate, Cleveland offensive tackle Joe Thomas, was quoted
last season as saying Hillis’ performance with the Browns slipped after the running back — eager to capitalize on his success from the previous year — put his desire for a new contract before the team. Hillis said his focus is on the future, trying to earn a job with the Bucs — not what happened in Cleveland in 2011 or last year in Kansas City, where the 27-year-old played behind three-time 1,000-yard rusher Jamaal Charles and averaged a career-low 3.6 yards per carry while running for 309 yards Please see HILLIS | 13
Volunteers secondary using criticism as motivation Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee free safety Brian Randolph has heard the criticism of the Volunteers’ secondary and is ready to prove the skeptics wrong. “Before we get out there and start working, we get together and remind ourselves that people consider us the worst secondary in the SEC,” Randolph said. “That has been a motivator for us. I think it got us better this offseason.” The Vols gave up the most points (35.7) and yards (471.4)
per game of any team in the Southeastern Conference last year in part because a lack of speed in the secondary made them vulnerable to big plays. Tennessee’s defense gave up six touchdowns of at least 70 yards. The other 13 SEC defenses combined to allow only 10 touchdowns of that length. The Vols’ defense yielded an SEC-high 13 touchdowns of at least 40 yards, more than twice as many as all but one team in the conference. Mississippi’s defense gave up 11 touchdowns of at least yards.
Those numbers naturally caused plenty of complaints and played a role in the demise of former coach Derek Dooley, who was fired in the midst of a third straight losing season. “We just use that as motivation every day - people calling us the worst secondary, one of the worst defenses in UT history and stuff like that,” senior strong safety Byron Moore said. “We’re trying to prove all those people wrong and trying to give them a new picture of us this year when we hit the field.”
The Vols believe they’ll do better this season. Randolph’s presence gives them reason for optimism. Randolph made eight starts as a freshman in 2011 and was leading the Vols in tackles last year before tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the third game of the season. Tennessee’s secondary wasn’t the same without Randolph, who came back for spring practice and declared himself at “95 percent” when training camp opened last week.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is honoring former baseball players in the Negro League, a haven for African-American players who for decades were prevented from competing with white players in professional baseball. The White House says Obama invited about a dozen players to the White House on Monday to mark their contributions to American history, civil rights and athletics. The players competed for teams like the Philadelphia Stars, New York Black Yankees, Indianapolis Clowns and Boston Blues. The Negro League thrived in the early part of the 20th century. Its decline started after Jackie Robinson in 1947 became the first African-American to play Major League Baseball in modern times, clearing the way for other black players to compete in the major leagues.
Judge keeps LSU’s Hill out of jail, leaving him the chance to play Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. — A judge ruled she won’t send LSU running back Jeremy Hill to jail for a probation violation last spring, a ruling that leaves it up to coach Les Miles to decide whether the Tigers’ suspended leading rusher last season will return to the team. Miles did not immediately comment on the ruling or Hill’s future, but players expressed hope after practice Monday that Hill would return. “He’s our brother. We still
talk to him, still encourage him, still love him,” offensive tackle La’el Collins said. “I would love to have him back. No doubt about it. There wouldn’t be a second thought. ... I’m pretty sure he’s humbled and he’s worked everything out. He’s seen the effect that it’s taken on him and he’s going to make better decisions.” Hill was caught on video punching a man outside a bar last spring. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery — a violation of his probation from an earlier mis-
demeanor stemming from his sexual relationship with a then-14-year-old girl at his high school. During Monday’s hearing, State District Judge Bonnie Jackson was scheduled to review more restrictive terms she attached to Hill’s first probation — including a 9 p.m to 6 a.m. curfew and bar ban — in May, shortly after Hill’s late-April arrest. Jackson also decided to take up prosecutors’ motion, filed last month, to revoke Hill’s probation, rather than letting that process drag on. Her
decision to do so came on the first day of LSU practice. While Jackson kept Hill on probation, she added 40 hours of community service to his sentence while also agreeing to curfew flexibility when Hill needs to be out for football, including games and travel. Hill did not speak to reporters on his way out of court after Monday’s hearing, but defense attorney Marci Blaize said, “Obviously, we’re very excited with the ruling. We hope that will put an end to it.”

autograph on memorabilia, it could potentially violate NCAA amateurism rules and put his eligibility in question a year after his jaw-dropping performance on the field made him the first freshman to win the Heisman as college football’s top player. Speaking to the media as the team began preseason practices in earnest, Sumlin said he learned of the ESPN report Sunday. For now, Manziel will lead the Aggies. But his coach is clearly thinking of backups, too. “He’ll get as many reps as he was going to get yesterday,” Sumlin said of Manziel, before adding: “We’ve got to develop a backup quarterback no matter what.” The report is just the latest in a string of offthe-field distractions caused by Manziel. He’s made headlines for tweeting that he “can’t wait to leave College Station,” despite having three years of eligibility remaining, he allegedly overslept at a football camp run by the Manning family and was supposedly kicked out of a University of Texas fraternity party in the last couple of months. The 20-year-old sophomore calmly answered questions after question at SEC media days last month, acknowledging his eventful offseason and indicating he needed to make better decisions because he’s such a public figure. “I don’t feel like I’ve done anything that’s catastrophic,” Manziel said then. “Of course, I’ve made my mistakes. It’s time to grow up.” Last week, Manziel tweeted: “I ain’t perfect, I ain’t insane but I AM worth it...if there’s one thing I am worth it.” The antics have overshadowed what is expected to be a banner year for Texas A&M. The Aggies are coming off an 11-2 record in their first season in the SEC after moving from the Big 12, a year highlighted by Manziel leading Texas A&M to an upset win at No. 1 Alabama. The rematch in College Station is Sept. 14. But instead of answering questions about his expectations for the season, Sumlin was left to respond to question after question about Manziel. “I’ve been through different things,” Sumlin said. “As a coach when those things happen, it’s not what happens to you, it’s how you deal with it. We’ve got a veteran staff that knows how to deal with different situations.” Manziel’s teammates seem unfazed by his recent trouble and said that nothing has changed the way they view their quarterback.

The suspensions are thought to be the most at once for off-the-field conduct since 1921, when Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis banned eight Chicago White Sox players for life for throwing the 1919 World Series against Cincinnati: Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Happy Felsh, Chick Gandil, Fred McMullen, Charles “Swede” Risberg, Buck Weaver and Claude “Lefty” Williams. They had been suspended by the team the previous year and were penalized by baseball even though they had been acquitted of criminal charges.

BASEBALL Major League Baseball MLB — Suspended New York Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez for 211 games from Aug. 8 through the remainder of the 2013 season and for the 2014 season for violations of the major league Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program and the Basic Agreement. Suspended Philadelphia LHP Antonio Bastardo, San Diego SS Everth Cabrera, New York Yankees C Francisco Cervelli, Texas OF Nelson Cruz, San Diego RHP Fautino De Los Santos (San Antonio-Texas), Houston LHP Sergio Escalona (Corpus Christi-
fielding shortstop for Detroit, a pair of teams in the midst of pennant races. They will be eligible to return for the postseason. Others agreeing to 50game bans included Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli and outfielder Fernando Martinez; Philadelphia pitcher Antonio Bastardo; Seattle catcher Jesus Montero; New York Mets infielder Jordany Valdespin and outfielder Cesar Puello; Houston pitcher Sergio Escalona; and free agent pitchers Fautino De Los Santos and Jordan Norberto. While the players’ association has fought many drug penalties over the past three decades, attitudes of its membership have shifted sharply in recent years and union staff encouraged settlements in the Biogenesis probe. “The accepted suspensions announced today are consistent with the punishments set forth in the Joint Drug Agree-
ment, and were arrived at only after hours of intense negotiations between the bargaining parties, the players and their representatives,” union head Michael Weiner said. “For the player appealing, Alex Rodriguez, we agree with his decision to fight his suspension. We believe that the Commissioner has not acted appropriately ... The union, consistent with its history, will defend his rights vigorously.” Fighting a brain tumor diagnosed a year ago, Weiner spoke in a raspy voice during a conference call and said the union’s executive board will consider stiffer drug penalties when players meet in December. But the union will fight Rodriguez’s discipline. “We’ve never had a 200-plus (game) penalty for a player who may have used drugs,” he said. “And among other things, I just think that’s way out of
line.” A-Rod intimated Friday that New York did not want him to return; Yankees answered Monday with a prepared statement: “We are compelled to address certain reckless and false allegations concerning the Yankees’ role in this matter,” the team said. “The New York Yankees in no way instituted and/or assisted MLB in the direction of this investigation; or used the investigation as an attempt to avoid its responsibilities under a player contract; or did its medical staff fail to provide the appropriate standard of care to Alex Rodriguez.” Rodriguez is making $28 million this year, and his salary drops to $25 million next year and $21 million in 2015. If the 211game penalty is upheld, his lost pay could range from $30.6 million to $32.7 million, depending on when exactly the sus-
pension is served. Players have often succeeded at persuading arbitrators to overturn or shorten drug suspensions. In the era before the drug agreement, LaMarr Hoyt, Ferguson Jenkins, Pascual Perez and Willie Wilson were among those who had success in hearings, and Steve Howe’s lifetime ban for a seventh suspension related to drugs or alcohol was cut to 119 days. Weiner said a settlement prior to Horowitz’s decision is possible but not likely. David Cornwell, an attorney for one of Rodriguez’s three law firms, called the penalty an “unprecedented action.” “Major League Baseball has gone well beyond the authority granted to its Joint Drug Agreement and the Basic Agreement,” he said, using the labor deal’s formal name. “Consequently, we will appeal the discipline and pursue all legal remedies available to Alex.”
played, and so did Mark. We felt like he was a good fit for us right now with our running back and fullback situation. He’s a guy who brings some versatility to the position. He can be the ball carrier, I think he can block. He’s a bigger back,”
Schiano said. If he makes the team, Hillis could wind up playing a role similar to one filled a year ago by another former 1,000-yard rusher, LeGarrette Blount, who carried 41 times for 151 yards as Martin’s backup.
Blount was traded to New England this spring, leaving the Bucs in the market for a big back such as Hillis, and even the 225-pound Leonard, who signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent after spending the past four seasons with
the Cincinnati Bengals. “He’s done it in this league, and I think we needed to create quality depth,” Schiano said. “We have our guy in Doug, but we need to create quality depth and we need to create competition as well.”

I can only move forward.

Hillis started 23 games over two seasons with the Browns, rushing for 1,764 yards and scoring 16 touchdowns — 14 of them on the ground. “I liked the way he

E-cigarettes lift page from old tobacco playbook BY MICHAEL FELBERBAUM AP Tobacco Writer
RICHMOND, Va. — Companies vying for a stake in the fast-growing electronic cigarette business are reviving the decades-old marketing tactics the tobacco industry used to hook generations of Americans on regular smokes. They’re using cab-top and bus stop displays, sponsoring race cars and events, and encouraging smokers to “rise from the ashes� and take back their freedom in slick TV commercials featuring celebrities like TV personality Jenny McCarthy. The Food and Drug Administration plans to set marketing and product regulations for electronic cigarettes in the near future. But for now, almost anything goes. “Right now it’s the wild, wild west,� Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered devices made of plastic or metal that heat a liquid nicotine
solution, creating vapor that users inhale. Users get their nicotine without the thousands of chemicals, tar or odor of regular cigarettes. And they get to hold something shaped like a cigarette, while puffing and exhaling something that looks like smoke. So far, there’s not much scientific evidence showing e-cigarettes help smokers quit or smoke less, and it’s unclear how safe they are. But the marketing tactics are raising worries that the devices’ makers could tempt young people to take up something that could prove addictive. The industry started by selling e-cigarettes on the Internet and at shopping-mall kiosks. It has rocketed from thousands of users in 2006 to several million worldwide who have more than 200 brands to choose from. Some e-cigarettes are stocked in prime selling space at the front of convenience-store and gas-station counters — real estate forbidden to the devices’ old-fashioned cousins. Analysts estimate sales
of e-cigarettes could reach $2 billion by the end of the year. Some say the use of e-cigarettes could pass that of traditional cigarettes in the next decade. Tobacco company executives have even noted that e-cigarettes are already eating into traditional cigarette sales. The debate over marketing tactics is intensifying as the nation’s largest tobacco companies roll out their own e-cigarettes in a push to diversify beyond their traditional business. People are smoking fewer cigarettes in the face of tax hikes, smoking bans, health concerns and social stigma, though higher prices have helped protect cigarette revenue. Companies like NJOY and Blu Ecigs are advertising on TV, forbidden for cigarettes for more than 40 years. LOGIC has placed mobile billboards on taxis in New York City. Swisher International Inc., maker of Swisher Sweets cigars, is sponsoring race cars promoting its e-Swisher electronic cigarettes and cigars and has a two-year deal to become the official e-cig-
arette of the World Series of Poker. Blu, which was acquired by No. 3 U.S. tobacco company Lorillard Inc. last year, also has sponsored an Indy car and the 2013 Bonnaroo music festival, and its website features a cartoon character nicknamed “Mr. Cool� boasting the benefits of its e-cigarette — evoking the days of Joe Camel. Decades ago, celebrities like actor Spencer Tracy, baseball player Joe DiMaggio and even future President Ronald Reagan shilled for brands like Lucky Strike and Chesterfield. Now, NJOY features rocker Courtney Love in an expletive-laced online ad and counts singer Bruno Mars among its investors. Actor Stephen Dorff is featured in Blu’s TV commercials. Tobacco marketing has been increasingly restricted. TV commercials for cigarettes were banned in 1970. Later legal settlements and new regulations took ads off billboards and banned event sponsorships. Cigarette marketing can’t use celebrities or
cartoons. While they must include health warnings, companies can still advertise cigarettes and smokeless tobacco in magazines that don’t have a large youth readership. The electronic cigarette ads push the same themes as old cigarette ads: sophistication, freedom, equality and individualism, said Timothy de Waal Malefyt, a visiting associate professor at Fordham University’s business school and former advertising executive. That’s the problem, tobacco opponents say. “The ads, themes and messages are precisely the same (as those) used by the tobacco industry for decades that made those products so appealing to young people,� said Matt Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. “For an industry that wants to project itself as helping to solve the tobacco problem, they’re behaving just like the tobacco industry in its worst days.� Reynolds American Inc., owner of the nation’s No. 2 tobacco com-
pany, has said it plans to use TV ads to promote a revamped version of its Vuse brand electronic cigarette that it launched last month. Altria Group Inc., owner of the nation’s biggest cigarette maker, Philip Morris USA, has declined to detail its marketing strategy for its first electronic cigarette under the MarkTen brand set to launch this month. The makers of e-cigarettes defend their strategy. “It’s huge for us in that it allows us to continue a conversation we’ve been having with consumers for over four years,� said Jason Healy, the founder and former president of Blu and now a brand spokesman. “There’s the potential here that e-cigs could do a tremendous amount of good, more good than anything anyone has done on the anti-smoking side since anti-smoking was invented.� Healy said that as long as the marketing remains responsible, it should continue. But he said, “there’s always going to be idiots that want to push that boundary.�

Bryant names 3 to charter school board “We are raising the bar for all public schools, and that includes allowing families to choose the best possible education for their children. Charter schools will provide new opportunities in Mississippi, and the members of this authorizing board will play an important role in establishing successful public charter schools in our state.”
Associated Press
JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant has appointed three members to the Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board, the board responsible for approving and overseeing public charter schools in Mississippi. Each of the governor’s appointees represents a Mississippi Supreme Court District, and each appointee will serve a four-year term beginning Sept. 1. Johnny Franklin of Bolton will represent Supreme Court District 1, Chris Wilson of Laurel will represent District 2 and Krystal Cormack of
Phil Bryant Governor Clarksdale will represent District 3. “We are raising the bar for all public schools, and that includes allowing families to choose the best possible education
for their children. Charter schools will provide new opportunities in Mississippi, and the members of this authorizing board will play an important role in establishing suc-
cessful public charter schools in our state. “These appointees bring a wealth of diverse experience to the table, and I am confident Mississippi will benefit from
their expertise,” Bryant said in a statement. We are raising the bar for all public schools, and that includes allowing families to choose the best possible education for their children. zBryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves each get three appointments to the board, while the state superintendent of education gets one. The appointments require Senate confirmation. The board will seek proposals for charter schools by Dec. 1. Mississippi law enacted in 2012 expands authority to create charter schools — public schools run by private groups that agree to meet certain
What Do You Know About a Living Trust? Do you know the four critical documents to have a complete estate plan? • Why a Living Trust? Why not just a will? It really depends on what you want for yourself and for your family. How much protection do you want, or need? • What about probate? A Living Trust is a great way to avoid probate, but is probate something you really want to avoid? Do you know what probate actually is, and what it does? If not, you need to know, so you can make up your own mind. • Are death taxes avoidable? For the vast majority the answer is “absolutely”. • What about protecting your assets from the nursing home? Medicare pays only a tiny part, if any. And you pay the rest. Or not. Mr. Howell coauthored the Mississippi edition of How to Protect Your Family’s Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs. These issues will be discussed in depth at the Seminar.

standards in exchange for less regulation. The board can approve up to 15 qualified public charter school applications each fiscal year. Applications to locate a public charter school within the boundaries of a school district rated A, B or C by the Mississippi Department of Education must receive majority support from the local school board. The charter board is also responsible for overseeing charter school operations and deciding whether to renew or revoke charter contracts. Franklin began his career in 1967 as a teacher and coach at Warren Central High School. He later served the Warren County School District as principal of Warren Central Junior High School, principal of Warren Central High School and assistant superintendent for instruction for the district. Most recently, he served as education policy adviser to Phil Bryant and former Gov. Haley Barbour. Wilson is the managing partner of First Choice, LLC, a real estate brokerage and development firm that he founded in 1974. He has served the Jones County Economic Development Authority for many years and was chairman of the education task force from 2008-2012. In 2008, he initiated the Jones County Education Symposium to increase awareness about the importance of quality public education. Cormack is an educator and classroom teacher. Most recently Cormack served as lead teacher at Crenshaw Elementary for the Barksdale Reading Institute where she manages curriculum and teaches reading and language arts to fourth and fifth grade students.
