BY JEBB JOHNSTON Tall grass is getting numerous Corinth addresses added to the cleanup list.

The Board of Aldermen on Tuesday scheduled new public hearings for 18 properties targeted for cleanup, mostly for overgrown conditions. It is a much larger group than average and is among 38 properties

that saw some form of action by the board.

“It shows how difficult a situation that we are in with high grass as a result of a lot of rain,” said Kim Ratliff, code enforcement officer. “I am trying my best to keep up with it.”

The properties are scattered throughout the city.

“The majority of them involve people who are either out

of town or absentee landlords that may be local but don’t, for whatever reason, care about the property,” he said.

The public hearings will coincide with the next regular board meeting at 5 p.m. on Aug. 20.

The properties are: CMH Services, Inc., Highway 72; Manness, 1805 Maple; Don Arnold Properties LLC, 1217 Proper Street; Pollard, 1405 East 5th;

Stone and Bryant, 1202 Tate; Victory Properties LLC (old Shell gas station), Highway 72; Owens, 1708 Pinecrest; Henderson, 1908 Mississippi; Taylor, Lot 30, Melody Park; Parker, 1806 3rd; Windom, 916 Allen; Absolute Auto Acceptance, Inc., 1219 Wick; Ella Spence estate, Lin-

Utility retaining Roberts as director

BY MARK BOEHLER Alcorn County Electric Power customers are apparently pleased with their local power company.

Incumbent ACE Power Board of Director Bobby Roberts was elected to another three-year term after Tuesday’s rare contested election.

Roberts got 985 votes, while challenger Pauline Sorrell received 235.

The election was held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the ACE Power office using electronic voting machines. Results were released Wednesday morning.

Roberts has been on the board since 1996. He is one of five members on the board.

Others board members include Jerry Brawner, J.B. Darnell, Mark Gardner and Sam Tull.

ACE Power released a statement saying they were pleased and appreciative of the large election turnout.

ACE Power was the first rural electric power cooperative established in the U.S. It gets its power from the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Yellow school buses will be seen throughout the Crossroads area today on city streets, county roads and state higways as most area schools officially began the 2013-2014 school year.

Law enforcement agencies are warning motorists to use caution today as school buses will be rolling today for the first time since May in most Crossroads area counties.

The Corinth School District, North Tippah School District (Walnut), Tishomingo County School District, Hardin County School District and McNairy County School District all began classes today.

The Alcorn School District, Booneville School District and Prentiss County School District already have three days under their belt after starting classes on Tuesday.

As families get back into the school routine after an almost three-month break, researchers say getting enough sleep can significantly improve a child’s readiness for school and general well-being.

Mississippi State University researchers recently took on a project at a local child care center to offer research-based strategies for developing healthier families. One of those strategies is developing bedtime routines to ease kids into sleep.

SELMER, Tenn. — Students will find a much different looking Selmer Elementary School than it left in May. More vibrant rooms, halls, bathrooms and landscape await students for the first day back today. Teachers and others in the community worked months in giving the K-4 school a major facelift inside and out.

“I can’t wait to see their faces,” said assistant principal Sondra Kiser. “If we can make school a happy place, learning will follow.”

Educators started the transformation of the campus after attending The Leader in Me workshop in March. This year marks the first year of implementation of the program.

“We had heard about the program two years ago and thought it was an awesome thing,” said principal Pam Killingsworth.

“It goes hand-in-hand in helping with test scores.”

Last Friday, teachers went through more Leader in Me training.

“I can see the pride coming back,” said Leader in Me Coach Shelly Hollis.

“It’s a new beginning at our school,” added K-4 Special Ed Teacher Meg Day. “Leader in Me has teachers focus on themselves first which in turn betters the classroom.”

CT-A begins ‘starting fresh’ season The Corinth Theatre-Arts is starting the year fresh.

“To Kill a Mockingbird” is set to kickoff the new season tonight at the Crossroads Playhouse at 7:30 p.m. The production, part of the season’s theme of “Starting Fresh: Tales from the American South” runs through Sunday. Performances are also slated for Aug. 15-18.

“It’s a powerful piece of literature and a way to bridge new material to the playhouse,” said director/artistic director Cris Skinner of the production adapted by Christopher Sergel.

To go along with its fresh start theme, CT-A has around 25 individuals making their debut or returning to the stage for the first time in awhile. “‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is the opportune way to get a lot of fresh faces on stage,” added the director.

One of those faces back after a hiatus from the stage is Lee Ann Story Sikora, who plays Maudie Atkinson.

“I like the protectiveness in the character of Maudie,” said Sikora. “She represents a for-

“Kids are going to take pride in the changes they see and hopefully, they will take the leadership role of helping keep it clean,” said Killingsworth.

Leader in Me was started in 1999 when struggling school A.B. Combs Elementary was asked to reinvent itself or shut down.

When principal, Muriel Summers, asked parents and community leaders what they wanted in their schools, she heard the 10 things of leadership, accountability, adaptability, initiative and self-direction, crosscultural skills, responsibility, problem solving, communication, creativity and teamwork.

“Positive communication is a key to having a revival in our school,” said Day. “We are proud of our school and motivated to make great things happen

“He Gave” There is no doubt that it is the most well-known, most frequently quoted verse in the Bible. Little children learn it in Sunday school before they even learn to write their own names.

It has been called “The entire Bible summed up in one verse” by those who know the Bible the best. Its words were spoken by the man who knew the Father (and the Father’s plans) the best.

I’m sure by now you have an idea to which verse I’m referring…

That’s right, it’s John 3:16.

Did you immediately quote the verse to yourself? I know I do every time I see it. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not parish, but have everlasting life.”

It truly is a beautiful verse! It’s also perhaps the one that is taken for granted more than any other Bible verse. I know I was guilty of taking it for granted, often quoting it as fast as I can, but not really paying attention to the message contained in its contents. However, that has changed, and with it, my appreciation for what Jesus was saying to Nicodemus that late night.

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that changed a wretch like me...”We sing the song all the time in services, but its lyrics would be meaningless if not for the message contained in John 3:16. More specifically, if not for two words found within John 3:16; “…He gave.” Two simple words, yet they convey such a powerful thought.

Think about what is being said in those two simple words.

Six letters can say so much! God was sinned against by man and was therefore owed justice. Yet, it’s because He loved us so much that ‘He gave’ in order to bring peace between Him and us. Yes, it was ‘Amazing Grace’ that changed us from the wretches we once were. It was because ‘He gave’ that we can become His children.

Because of the fact that God is a God of justice (Psalm 89:14), He demanded that a price be paid for man›s transgressions, yet because God is also a God of mercy (1 Peter 1:3), He paid the price Himself through His only begotten son, Jesus (John 3:16).

God loves you so much that He gave so that you and I wouldn›t have to. The truth is, you and I couldn›t pay the price even if we wanted (Rom. 3:23, John 14:6).

What an odd situation by today’s standards; The One who was owed was also the One who paid. It is such a foreign concept to us. Yet, despite how foreign it may be, we should always be thankful for those two little words...

“He gave...”

“In every unit, at least 2 or 3 teachers and sometimes all of them, have jumped in planning and doing work to change the school,” added the principal. “I already see a change in attitude.”

Hollis said it’s “all about developing leaders one child at a time.”

“Small changes can make a big impact,” said the coach.

results.

“It’s still a work in progress, but teachers, parents and the community have bought into the program,” said Kiser, who put together a grant to fund the program.

“The leadership skills students gain through the program will benefit not only them, but the community for many years to come.”

Today’s Highlight: On August 8, 1963, Britain’s “Great Train Robbery” took place as thieves made off with 2.6 million pounds in banknotes.

On this date: In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte set sail for St. Helena to spend the remainder of his days in exile.

In 1911, President William Howard Taft signed a measure raising the number of U.S. representatives from 391 to 433, effective with the next Congress, with a proviso to add two more when New Mexico and Arizona became states.

In 1937, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, Japan completed its occupation of Beijing.

In 1942, during World War II, six Nazi saboteurs who were captured after landing in the U.S. were executed in Washington, D.C.; two others who’d cooperated with authorities were spared.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed the U.S. instrument of ratification for the United Nations Charter. The Soviet Union declared war against Japan during World War II. In 1953, the United States and South Korea initialed a mutual security pact.

In 1968, the Republican national convention in Miami Beach nominated Richard Nixon for president on the first ballot.

In 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew branded as “damned lies” reports he had taken kickbacks from government contracts in Maryland, and vowed not to resign — which he ended up doing.

In 1974, President Richard Nixon announced his resignation, effective the next day, following damaging new revelations in the Watergate scandal.

In 1978, the U.S. launched Pioneer Venus 2, which carried scientific probes to study the atmosphere of Venus.

In 1993, in Somalia, four U.S. soldiers were killed when a land mine was detonated underneath their vehicle, prompting President Bill Clinton to order Army Rangers to try to capture Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

In 2007, space shuttle Endeavour roared into orbit with teacher-astronaut Barbara Morgan on board.

Ten years ago: The Boston Roman Catholic archdiocese offered $55 million to settle more than 500 lawsuits stemming from alleged sex abuse by priests. (The archdiocese later settled for $85 million.)

More Powerball players seek big jackpots only

BY BARBARA RODRIGUEZ Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa — The allure of capturing the estimated $425 million Powerball jackpot had players in a buying frenzy Wednesday, further confirming a trend that lottery officials say has become the big ticket norm: Fatigued

Powerball players, increasingly blase about smaller payouts, often don’t get into the game until the jackpot offers big bucks.

Meghan Graham, a convenience store worker from Brookline, Mass., has purchased nearly a dozen Powerball tickets in recent months thanks to the huge jackpots, and the third largest-ever pot

was enough reason to buy again.

“The more it keeps increasing, that means nobody is winning ... a lot of people are gonna keep buying tickets and tickets and tickets and you never know, you just might get lucky if you pick the right numbers,” she said.

A recent game change intended to build excitement

about the lottery increased the frequency of huge jackpots, and Wednesday’s jackpot drawing comes only a few months after the biggest Powerball jackpot in history — a $590 million pot won in Florida by an 84-year-old widow. The second largest Powerball jackpot was won in November and split between two tickets from Arizona

and Missouri.

With a majority of the top 10 Powerball jackpots being reached in the last five years, lottery officials acknowledge smaller jackpots don’t create the buzz they once did.

“We certainly do see what we call jackpot fatigue,” said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Multi-State Lottery Association.

Van property; Bostic, Dale Street; and Archambault property.

In new adjudication hearings, the board adjudicated 102 Noel Street for cleanup and gave continuances for 101 Noel Street and another neighboring property with no house number available.

In continued hearings, Robert Wren, a Droke Road resident, appeared before the board to request some time to work on his property. He has accumulated items from his work as a carpenter and plumber that the city wants cleaned up. The board gave a 90day continuance.

The Jackson property at 1101 Phillips Street got a 30-day extension, and the Burns property at North Polk near Little Zion Road got a continuance to Aug. 20.

The board dismissed action on the Rhodes property on Highway 72, which the owner has been working on for some time.

The board adjudicated the cost for cleanup plus a $500 penalty for 2104 Proper, 104 Madison, corner of Madison and 2nd, and corner of Penn and Tate.

The $500 penalty is waived if paid within 60

days. The cost becomes a lien on the property tax.

The meeting brought a couple of other residents before the board regarding property cleanup. Wilbur Ross is moving into a home on Shiloh Road and complained about a neighboring building associated with the Shiloh Ridge golf course. Alderman Ben Albarracin said he has talked with the property owner, and there is an action plan for cleanup.

Charlotte Latch, who lives at 2223 Liddon Lake Road, a property that has been through adjudication, appeared before the board

and accused the city of harassment regarding her property.

“I’ve had enough of it,” she said.

Another resident, J.L. Aldridge, accused the city of unfairly targeting his property and showed photos of other property that he said should have the city’s attention.

Questions about why certain properties are not under scrutiny are common.

“Property owners may see what they think are disparaging inequities, but there are often other factors that they may not know about,” said Ratliff.

to living longer. The National Sleep Foundation¹s slogan expresses that principle this way: “Sleep is as important as diet and exercise.”

“While we sleep, our bodies regulate appetite and growth hormones, our memory is consolidated, and our immune system is boosted,” Elmore-Staton said. “Adults and children who don’t get consistent sleep are more susceptible to illness.”

Elmore-Staton said a typical four-year-old needs 10 to 12 total hours of sleep per day, including naps. Since children carry to adulthood many habits formed while they are young, developing proper nighttime routines to get the recommended amount of sleep is vital.

“Most children aren’t getting anywhere near

the amount of sleep they need,” she said. “That puts them at a disadvantage in the classroom, not only because it interferes with their ability to pay attention, but also because it affects how they interact with other children.”

Cassandra Kirkland, who also serves as a family life specialist for MSU’s Extension Service, said the group embraced ideas for changing diet and routines.

“The participants encouraged each other to recognize that drinking multiple sodas every day could have potential negative consequences on sleep and health,” she said. “A major discovery for most of the parents was understanding how getting only six hours of sleep can reduce a person’s lifespan.”

Santee Ezell, mother

of a two-year-old daughter and a seven-year-old son, said she participated in the Shape Care pilot program because she believes people can learn something new no matter how old they are.

Ezell said she has already put into practice some of the tips she learned from Kirkland and Elmore-Staton.

“My daughter likes to snack before bedtime but I’ve started a new routine

of dinner by 6:30 p.m., no snacks and bedtime by 8:30 p.m.,” she said.

“I’ve started reading stories to my children to help prepare them for bed. I learned so much about the importance of sleep that I’m working hard to get more sleep for my kids and for myself.”

(Keri Collins Lewis of MSU Ag Communications compiled the information related to kids’ sleep research at MSU.)

Letter to the editor

Here we go again...

To the editor: With so many proposals now being debated in Washington that would cut benefits, scale back services and fundamentally weaken and ultimately destroy Social Security and Medicare, it’s critical seniors continue to harness and focus our “constituent power.” We need to counter the enormous influence of powerful, special interests and corporate lobbyists — and remind the politicians in Washington who they work for.

On Aug.14, Social Security marks its 78th year of service to retirees, people with disabilities and their families. This program has been a lifeline for millions of Americans and is the foundation of retirement security.

Members of Congress are returning to their home districts this week through Sept. 8 with proposals to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits remaining at the top of lawmakers’ “to do list” in Washington. Its vital we all take this opportunity to contact our members of Congress in their local offices or attend townhall meetings. Make sure your elected officials know any cuts to earned benefits will have a devastating impact on you and your family. Now is the time to put pressure on lawmakers to protect the Social Security and Medicare benefits we’ve earned and are counting on!

To me, the very idea we are even having to tell our so called “representatives” to keep their hands off our earned benefits makes me furious; even Ronald Reagan held Social Security to be sacrosanct and off the table in budgetary discussions.

Politicians across the nation are acting like venal. craven, self-righteous bullies who would rather shut the government down if they don’t get their way than come to a compromise that would allow all of us to benefit.

It’s a sad day indeed when elected officials follow the directions of their corporate overlords to the detriment of the very people they were elected to represent.

Gutsy Republican again calls for a tax hike Central District Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall is a savvy politician who understands that Republicans who call for anything that can be construed as a tax hike usually end up as political road kill in GOP primaries — yet there Hall stood last week under the old oaks at the Neshoba County Fair repeating his call for an increase in the state’s gasoline tax for the second year in a row.

That Hall mentioned the state’s anemic gas tax in his speech should be no real shock since he’s been the consistent voice of sanity on this important point of public policy for a decade. Hall worked hard during the 2013 Mississippi legislative session to advance two bills that would have created new revenue for the construction and maintenance of Mississippi’s roads and highways until they died in committee.

That advocacy came after Hall beat the drum in speeches for the last several years for state government to realistically assess the growing disparity between the number of Mississippi roads that are in need of maintenance and repair and the funds being generated to pay for that work.

Educating Mississippi voters about the problem

Hall is talking about will be a tall order. Those voters are struggling with the risSid Salter ing price Columnist of fuel and there’s not much appetite for any policy changes that would raise the pump price of gas and diesel fuel in the state.

Voters who want new roads constructed now face the reality that construction funds are being shifted to maintenance and repair because the current gas tax isn’t producing sufficient revenue and the federal earmark funds that the state has long relied upon to fund highway construction have ceased. Voters who want decaying current roads repaired now face the reality that the list of roads needing repair is growing faster than the revenue is accruing to fix them.

In round numbers, Hall says that today Mississippi has about 4,700 miles of highways in dire need of repair at an estimated current cost of $960 million.

Yet one of the biggest public policy and economic misconceptions in Mississippi is the notion that as gas prices have risen, state gas tax revenues have risen

with them. That’s just not the case.

Mississippi’s 18.4 cents per gallon gas tax (CPG) is a flat tax. When we paid $1 a gallon for gas, the tax was 18.4 CPG. When we pay $3.75 per gallon at the pump, the state tax is still 18.4 CPG. The only way the state takes in more revenue in gas taxes is for the volume of gas consumed to increase.

The state’s 18.4 CPG gas tax was last raised in 1987.

According to a report by the American Society of Civil Engineers, Mississippi’s flat gas tax isn’t keeping pace with the inflation of rising highway construction and maintenance costs and with the modern fuel economy improvements in today’s vehicles.

Last year, Hall said that a national report found that Mississippi has an estimated $30 billion in highway and bridge needs between 2008 and 2035 but that the state’s current gas tax structure would only generate $15.3 billion to meet those expenses in a “best-case” scenario.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that the national average federal/state tax on gasoline is 48.8 CPG. The federal tax on gasoline is 18.4 CPG. The national average state gasoline excise tax is 23.5 CPG.

In Mississippi, drivers pay total federal and state taxes of 37.2 cents per gallon of gasoline and 43.2 cents per gallon of diesel. Mississippi’s excise tax totals 18.4 CPG on gasoline and diesel, with 0.4 cents going to an environmental protection fee. In coastal Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties, there is an additional 3 CPG seawall tax.

Mississippi’s gas tax is lower than Alabama (20.9 cents per gallon), Arkansas (21.80 CPG), Louisiana (20 CPG), or Tennessee (21.40 CPG). The next logical question would be whether Mississippi roads and bridges are in better shape that the transportation infrastructure in those surrounding states?

A Mississippi State Senate task force will examine those questions and prepare a report by 2014. But in terms of actually getting some political traction on fixing the mechanism Mississippi has in place to fund highway construction and maintenance, somebody will have to find a detour around the perils of GOP primaries and the mention of any kind of tax increase.

Dan Balz’ new book indicts 2012 campaign

BY ROGER SIMON Here is Jim Messina, Barack Obama’s campaign manager, explaining to Dan Balz how he intends to run the 2012 campaign: “My favorite political philosopher is Mike Tyson,” Messina says. “Mike Tyson once said everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don’t have a plan anymore. (The Republicans) may have a plan to beat my guy. My job is to punch them in the face.”

Here is Tagg Romney, Mitt Romney’s son, telling Balz that his father was not quite fired up and ready to go less than three weeks before he announced his candidacy. “He was hoping for an exit,” Tagg says.

“I think he wanted to have an excuse not to run.” During the Christmas holiday of 2010, the Romney family had gathered in Hawaii and voted on whether Romney should run. Ten of the 12 family members voted no.

Mitt Romney was among the no votes.

America,” is so full of anecdotes and revelations that it is hard to stop. But I will. Because even though I think this is one of the best political books I have ever read, it is not a collection of anecdotes.

Instead it is a searing indictment of America’s presidential election system and the way candidates run for office.

Balz sat down for two hours at my kitchen table recently. We have been friends for more than 40 years. Today and in my next column, I will present part of our conversation.

Q: You are pretty tough on Obama in your book.

DB: Neither side rose to the moment of trying to overcome where we were with our paralysis and negativity. Obama decided the best way to overcome that was to win convincingly.

Everything we’ve seen since is that that didn’t work.

Q: You write: “No one expected Campaign 2012 to be positive or uplifting ... (but) all restraints were gone, the guardrails had disappeared, and there was no incentive for any-

one to hold back.” One reason the campaign became so negative is because neither side believed the independent vote was large enough to matter. So both sides did everything they could to throw red meat to their base voters.

DB: The base wants to feel enthusiastic about the nominee, and in this environment that means the candidate often has to be harsh on his opponent. One of the things the Obama people took away from (his poor performance in) the first debate was that much of the importance of a debate is to make your voters feel good and not to persuade undecided voters.

In the vice presidential debate, Joe Biden was aggressive as he could be to say to his base: “We’re fighting for you.”

Q: You have this wonderful anecdote about Biden landing in Kentucky for his debate, and he immediately takes a call from Obama.

After it, Biden is smiling and tells an adviser: “I know we’re in trouble.”

The adviser asks why, and Biden says: “I know we’re

in trouble because the president just told me to be myself, and that’s the first time in four years he’s ever told me that.”

DB: (laughs) Obama could not have done (the allout attacking) he did in the second and third debates without the first debate. He had to overcompensate.

Q: In trying to explain to you his infamous 47 percent remarks, Romney starts quoting from his iPad, but he still gets the 47 percent quote wrong.

What’s up with that?

DB: He can’t accept the words he uttered were the words he uttered. In his own mind, that’s not what he thinks he said. We talk about candidates having the ability to connect with voters, but with Romney I turn it around: The voters could not connect with Romney.

As one person in one focus group said, “He’s been too rich for too long.”

Obama calls off Putin summit amid tension LOS ANGELES — In a rare diplomatic rebuke, President Barack Obama called off an upcoming Moscow summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, sending a stern message of disapproval over Russia’s harboring of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.

Although U.S. frustration with Moscow has been growing over other key issues such as missile defense and human rights, it was Russia’s decision to grant Snowden asylum in defiance of Obama’s repeated requests that dealt the latest blow to uneasy U.S. relations with a former Cold War foe.

Wednesday’s announcement is likely to further strain the relationship, even as the U.S. seeks Russia’s cooperation on Syria and other pressing issues.

Canceling the meeting, scheduled for early September, denies Putin a prominent moment just as global attention will be turning to a major economic summit that Russia will be hosting.

Airing its own disappointment, Russia’s government said Obama’s decision showed the U.S. is unable to develop relations with Moscow on an “equal basis.�

Putin’s foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, played down the Kremlin’s role in the Snowden controversy, describing the Ameri-

can’s status as a situation that “hasn’t been created by us.� “Russian representatives are ready to continue working together with American partners on all key issues,� Ushakov said, adding that the invitation to Obama to visit Moscow next month still stands.

Obama will still attend the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, but a top White House official said the president has no plans to hold oneon-one talks with Putin while there. Instead of visiting Putin in Moscow, the president is adding a stop in Sweden to his early-September itinerary. Â

Team faked rejected marriage proposal NEW BRITAIN, Conn. — A minor league baseball team acknowledged Wednesday that it staged a rejected marriage proposal during a recent game as a publicity stunt.

The Double-A New Britain Rock Cats, an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, issued a statement saying the club had two employees pretend to be a couple taking part in a between-innings trivia contest Friday.

The third question in the contest was a surprise marriage proposal to which the woman on the field replies, “I’m sorry, I can’t, I’m sorry� and then flees. The man then also runs off the field and into the Rock Cats dugout.

A video of the stunt has been viewed more

The club confirmed the hoax in a news release.

BP ordered to pay settlement chief NEW ORLEANS — A federal magistrate has ordered BP to pay more than $130 million in fees to the court-supervised administrator of its multibillion-dollar settlement with Gulf Coast businesses and residents after the company’s 2010 oil spill.

U.S. Magistrate Sally Shushan ruled Wednesday that BP is obligated to fund the settlement program’s third-quarter budget even though BP complains that its administrator, Patrick Juneau, hasn’t provided adequate documentation for the requested money.

Shushan did say that BP has “legitimate concerns� about Juneau’s operation of the program.

In a letter Monday, BP claims official Maria Travis claimed the program is plagued with problems. Â

Judge halts Army shooting trial FORT HOOD, Texas — The standby attorney for the soldier charged in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage accused Maj. Nidal Hasan on Wednesday of deliberately charting a course toward a conviction and death sentence, abruptly halting the trial after only one day.

Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, Hasan’s lead court-appointed standby attorney, said he is willing to step in and be Hasan’s defense lawyer. But he asked that his responsibilities as co-counsel be minimized if Hasan, who is representing himself at trial, continues to work toward being executed.

It is “clear his goal is to remove impediments or obstacles to the death penalty and is working toward a death penalty,� Poppe told the judge overseeing the case at the Texas military base.

Hasan responded: “I object. That’s a twist of the facts.�

The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, then cleared the courtroom.

Hasan has chosen to act as his own attorney.

After the system failed to meet a June 30 deadline to comply with provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the state department of education extended the deadline until February under conditions that included replacement of special education director Falanda Addison.

Green told School Board members Tuesday that her strategy includes addressing specific problems while also examining long-term systemic needs.

Green has been an educator for 32 years and directed the special education department in Jackson County for 10 years.

Under her leadership, Jackson County Schools was the only public school district in Mississippi to have college and career programs for students with disabilities, Green said.

Addison was reassigned as principal at

Capital City Alternative School, where she earns the salary she held as special education director — $93,647. Â

Draft plan for I-69 corridor completed HERNANDO — Planning officials in DeSoto County say a draft plan for development of the future Interstate 69 international trade corridor has been completed.

Planning Directed Ted Garrod tells The Commercial Appeal that the plan, almost three years in the making, is designed to guide development along the traffic corridor through the county.

Project consultants with the Cincinnati-based firm McBride Dale Clarion will oversee discussion of the proposal at a public meeting with county supervisors and the Planning commission.

No date has been set for the presentation. Â

Jackson schools hire special ed director JACKSON — The Jackson public schools system has hired former Jackson County schools special education director Tonya Green to turn around its special education department and avoid the loss of the program’s accreditation.

The Clarion-Ledger reported the state Department of Education has threatened to withdraw the school system’s accreditation unless the special education department complies with federal standards by end of February 2014.

DeSoto reports jump in building permits OLIVE BRANCH — Planners in DeSoto County say July’s brisk pace for building permits is a hopeful sign for the local economy.

County Deputy Planning Director Tom Haysley tells The Commercial Appeal that the housing industry is cautious about identifying the spurt as a trend but records show more permits are being issued for subdivision development.

In July, 91 single-family permits were issued, up 13 from June. The total was up 27 from July 2012, a 41 percent increase.

Total permits issued for 2013 through July is 520, a 20 percent increase over the 435 reported for the same period a year ago.

“The market certainly hasn’t rebounded to pre-recession levels, but we’re heading in the right direction, on track to beat 2012’s year-end figure of 730 after the lows of the previous years,” said county Supervisor Mark Gardner, board president and a Southaven Realtor. In 2007, 1,687 single-family permits were recorded as the recession hit and the housing market reeled; permit activity bottomed at 454 in 2010 and 456 in 2011.

“We’re seeing an increase in traffic within our model homes for sale; there’s been a slow, gradual climb since the second quarter of 2012,” said builder David Grant, owner of Collierville-based Keith and David Grant Homes.

He said he’s cautiously optimistic and busy “with about 40 percent of our homes in DeSoto County.”

Meridian unveils crime-fighting effort MERIDIAN — Meridian Mayor Percy Bland hopes to engage citizens in a new crime-fighting initiative.

The Meridian Star reported the “See Something Say Something” campaign envisioned by Bland and Police Chief James Lee will encourage citizens to report suspicious activity.

City Councilman Kim Houston asked how police would deal with people who want to remain anonymous when reporting crimes. She says constituents tell her they would report crime but don’t want police to be seen at their homes.

Lee said police are

working on setting up a designated telephone line to which incidents could be reported anonymously.

The main thing is for citizens to participate, Lee said.

Bland said the city also plans to enforce a school-hours curfew designed to keep children in school and off streets.

Petal files lawsuit over rate increase HATTIESBURG — The city of Petal has filed a lawsuit against the city of Hattiesburg over a sewage rate increase that began last fall.

The suit, filed in Forrest County Chancery Court, claims Hattiesburg has breached its contract with Petal by increasing the rate. The Hattiesburg American reports the suit seeks an injunction to stop Hattiesburg from charging Petal at the higher rate.

Last fall, Hattiesburg began charging Petal at double the rate for city residents, in accordance with Hattiesburg ordinances.

In 2008, the sewage rate for Petal was re-negotiated from 29 cents to 66 cents per thousand gallons of sewage.

Last fall, that rate increased to more than $4 per thousand gallons of sewage.

The rate increased the city’s sewage bill by 650 percent to $150,000 a month, up from around $20,000.

On average, Petal sends 1 million gallons of sewage into the Hattiesburg system each day.

Petal Mayor Hal Marx said the rate increase is not based on the cost of treatment, adding residents should not have to pay the higher rate.

Petal has refused to pay the higher rate, instead paying Hattiesburg at its old rate of 66 cents.

Horn Lake aldermen set motel tax vote HORN LAKE — Horn Lake aldermen have set an Oct. 8 referendum for a proposed tax on hotel and motel stays that could generate thousands of dollars for the city.

Voters will be asked to approve a tax of $2 per night, and 60 percent of voters must approve.

The Commercial Appeal reports the referendum, if approved, would rectify a situation dating to 2002, when state legislators approved a fouryear tax for the city.

The legislation was renewed in 2006, but another extension was not considered in 2010 and the tax therefore expired even though city officials continued to collect It. After the error was caught, money that had been collected without authorization, about $105,000, was placed in escrow and has been there since.

Lawmakers this past session approved new legislation authorizing a hotel-motel tax pending a referendum and made it retroactive.

Mayor Allen Latimer said the referendum would produce revenue for Horn Lake without taxing residents unless they stay in the city’s hotels or motels.

Council weighs Biloxi stadium’s economics BILOXI — Before the first shovel of dirt is turned or the first pitch thrown, the Biloxi City Council wants to know the economic impact of a minor league baseball stadium in the downtown.

After meeting in a twohour executive session Tuesday, the council voted unanimously for an economic analysis of the stadium north of the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino on U.S. Highway 90 The council capped the cost of the study at $25,000 and want to know if the stadium is likely to spur development in the downtown area.

The resolution directs the administration to hire a firm to do the study.

“I know how people feel about studies, but I want a credible analysis of what we can expect to see for our $21 million investment,” said Councilman Paul Tisdale.

“One of the focuses of the negotiations has been determining whether we can pay the annual note of $1.5 to $1.6 million on the construction cost. The analysis would tell us what additional economic development we can expect and what additional revenue would be generated from those who attend baseball

games and other events at the stadium,” he said.

Promoters of bringing a minor league team to Biloxi originally wanted to start construction this summer and open in time for the 2014 season.

Tim Bennett with Overtime Sports said last month that a 2015 stadium opening would not jeopardize Biloxi’s chances of getting a team.

Judge sets trial for former mayor JACKSON — A federal judge has rescheduled the trial of former Vicksburg Mayor Paul Winfield to Sept. 30.

Winfield is charged in U.S. District Court in Jackson with seeking $10,000 in cash in exchange for a city contract. He has pleaded not guilty.

The trial had been set to begin earlier this week, but attorney Terris Harris asked for a delay, saying negotiations were ongoing with prosecutors to resolve the case without a trial.

The FBI arrested Winfield on Feb. 20.

Winfield, a Democrat, completed his first term as mayor this year and lost his re-election bid.

The criminal complaint says a confidential FBI informant called Winfield on July 17, 2012, to discuss “pre-event disaster contracts” with the city.

It says the two met at a Jackson restaurant the next day, and the informant asked Winfield what it would take to get the contract.

“Winfield responded ‘Ten’ and held up 10 fingers, signifying $10,000,” the complaint says.

Winfield agreed to take half the money up front and the rest after the contract was awarded, according to the complaint. The complaint says the source paid Winfield $5,000 in hundred dollar bills that had been provided by the FBI. If convicted, Winfield could face up to 10 years in prison.

Man admits travel for drug shipments GULFPORT — A 49-year-old man has admitted driving to Mississippi from Houston to pick up designer drugs shipped from China.

The Sun Herald reports Phung Nguyen pleaded guilty Tuesday in Gulfport, Miss., to interstate travel in aid of drug racketeering enterprises. He will be sentenced Nov. 4.

Nguyen was arrested in March after an investigation of suspicious packages mailed to a D’Iberville woman. An inspector at the D’Iberville Post Office intercepted packages and a Homeland Security agent ordered a lab test. The packages contained 4.4 pounds of what appeared to be Ecstasy.

A federal grand jury indicted Nguyen on four counts of conspiracy to import and traffic a controlled substance.

Nguyen was set for trial Monday, but the government filed the lesser charge of interstate travel for unlawful activity.

Organizers plan upcoming Prentiss County Fair

BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

Look for this year’s Prentiss County Fair to offer the same fun and attractions — with one major difference. The fair will be held three days instead of five days as in the past.

The 2013 Prentiss County Fair gets underway Thursday, Aug. 15 and runs through Saturday, Aug. 17 on the grounds at the Prentiss County Agri-Center at 2301 North Second Street in Booneville.

Fair officials have been thinking about going to a three-day event for some time, said Buddy Smith, Agri-Center Director.

“I’m excited about it and everybody who’s working with the fair is excited,� he said.

The public should enjoy the three-days because there will be much to see and do for the entire family, including carnival rides.

Fair attendance records have been broken the last three years and fair organizers are hoping for good weather this year to top those numbers.

Senior Citizens Day will take place Thursday, Aug. 15, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Sponsors of this event are the Hobo Highsteppers, Renasant Bank and Prentiss County Extension Service. Senior Citizens

will be admitted free during Senior Citizens Day events.

Entertainment on Senior Citizens Day will feature Kay Bain and the Hobo Highsteppers, plus the annual Teacake Contest hosted by Judy George. Lunch will also be served.

The Fairest of the Fair contest gets underway at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15.

Fairest of the Fair applications may be picked up at the Prentiss County Extension Office located at 2301 North Second Street in Booneville. Entry fee is $20 if paid by noon on Aug. 15, and $25 after noon and the night of the event.

Boys age divisions are 0 months-6 years; while girls’ divisions are from 0 months to 19 years.

Events on Friday, Aug. 16 will include the youth rodeo at 7 p.m. featuring a chicken chase, mutton busting, youth steer riding (15 and under), junior bull riding (16-18), pony barrels, youth barrels (15 and under) and junior barrels (16-18).

Three big events await fair-goers on Saturday, Aug. 17. The Dixie Iron Tractor Pull begins at 1 p.m. while the Eddie Burns Memorial Go-Kart Race starts at 6 p.m. GoKart practice begins at 10 a.m. and qualifying at 1 p.m.

Calvary Rodeo Company will present its adult rodeo at 7 p.m. Saturday featuring special intermission entertainment.

The talent show will not be held this year during the fair.

Mississippi Delta Shows will be in charge of the carnival rides.

Gate admission on Thursday, Aug. 15 is $3 for adults; $1 for students.

Children under 5 will be admitted free. Gate admission Friday, Aug. 16 and Saturday, Aug. 17 will be $6 for adults; $3 for ages 5-12.

Children under 5 will be admitted free.

There will be $15 wristbands Thursday, Aug. 15

from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. for carnival rides in addition to gate admission charge.

Two undercover police officers take it to the limit in ‘2 Guns’ 2 Guns, R, ***1⠄2,Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Edward James Olmos, Paula Patton, Bill Paxton; Universal. Director Baltqasar Kormakur; length -- 109 minutes “2 Guns,� filmed in New Orleans, has several surprises as the film progresses toward the final scene. I might have a hint or two, but it is much more fun to experience the movie as it progresses.

Robert Trench (Denzel Washington) and Michael Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) play undercover cops who are also thieves.

The two are keeping se-

crets from each other which will be revealed in the sweet bye and bye. EvenTerry tually, the Burns two semifriends will Movie Critic discover each other’s secrets and advance to the next round of adventure.

The audience will experience laugh-out loud dialogue in this actioncomedy while witnessing some extreme violence including shoot-outs, explosions, fistfights and

other physical moments.

Think double, double cross as the movie advances. “2 Guns� combines comedy, suspense, danger and drama. Maybe I could call it a “dramaedy?� Whatever it is called, it is a fun ride.

Washington and Wahlberg are excellent as a team. These two topnotch actors deliver lots of funny lines and a sense of camaraderie. And you can tell both are having fun doing it.

Earl (Bill Paxton) plays a misanthrope with an extremely dangerous attitude. It is probably the toughest character I have

Terry Burns’ movie ratings Red 2, PG-13 *** The Lone Ranger, PG-13 ***** The Heat, R, ***1⠄2 World War Z, PG13, ***1⠄2 Man of Steel, PG13, **1⠄2 seen Paxton play. Earl enjoys Russian roulette which is not a fun thing to watch. He is one tough mean hombre. He also

takes extreme offense when someone steals from him.

Trench’s girlfriend is Deb (Paula Patton). As the old song by Chris Isaak says, “Baby did a bad, bad thing.� “2 Guns� has some very rough and tough and hard to bluff characters as it progresses to its extremely violent end. It is the kind of movie that will keep the audience attached to the screen, It is not a great movie, but it is a diversion from work, stress, hot weather, and of course, chores we want to put off for a while. I wouldn’t mind seeing a

second “2 Guns.�

The best thing about “2 Guns� is the chemistry between the two main characters. Just enjoy the laughter and action.

As al-Qaida’s organization grows, leaders remain a global threat

BY LARA JAKES AP National Security Writer

WASHINGTON — Far from being on the brink of collapse, al-Qaida’s core leadership remains a potent threat — and one that experts say has encouraged the terror network’s spread into more countries today than it was operating in immediately after 9/11.

President Barack Obama, who ordered the May 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, has described al-Qaida’s headquarters as “a shadow of its former self.� White House spokesman Jay Carney on Tuesday called it “severely diminished� and “decimated.�

The bravado, however, didn’t match the Obama administration’s action this week. It closed 19 U.S. diplomatic outposts stretching across the Eastern Hemisphere and evacuated nonessential personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Yemen after intelligence officials said they had intercepted a recent message from alQaida’s top leader about plans for a major terror attack.

The new communique came from bin Laden’s replacement, Ayman al-Zawahri, who as early as December 2001 announced plans to decentralize the network and scatter its affiliates across the globe as a way of ensuring its survival.

Now, major al-Qaida hubs are thriving along the Iraqi-Syrian border, in North Africa and, in the most serious risk to the U.S., in Yemen.

The regional hubs may not take direct orders from al-Zawahri, and terror experts say they rarely coordinate operations with each other or share funding and fighters. But they have promoted alQaida’s mission far beyond what its reach was a dozen years ago and, in turn, created an enduring legacy for its core leaders. “Even while the core al-Qaida group may be in decline, al-Qaida-ism, the movement’s ideology, continues to resonate and attract new adherents,�

Bruce Hoffman, director of the Security Studies

Program at Georgetown University, wrote in a research paper earlier this year.

Bin Laden’s death, Hoffman wrote, “left behind a resilient movement that, although seriously weakened, has been expanding and consolidating its control in new and far-flung locales.�

Al-Zawahri, an Egyptian whose location is unknown, issues messages to followers every few months that are posted and circulated on jihadi websites.

His latest, posted July 30, lashed out at Obama for the continued U.S. detention of terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and for launching deadly drone attacks in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and other Muslim countries. “You fought us for 13 years. ... Did we soften or toughen up? Did we back out or advance? Did we withdraw or spread out?� al-Zawahri asked Obama in his July 30 message, according to a transcript of his letter that was translated from Arabic by SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist websites.

He continued, “I call on every Muslim in every spot on Earth to seek with all that he can to stop the crimes of America and its allies against the Muslims — in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Mali, and everywhere.�

Three days later, the State Department announced the temporary closing of U.S. embassies and diplomatic outposts

across the Mideast, Africa and Asia — although not in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel or Mali. Officials this week said the closures were prompted by an unspecified threat to U.S. and Western interests in a message from al-Zawahri to his top lieutenant in Yemen, where al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is based.

AQAP, as the terror network’s regional hub is known, is led by Nasser al-Wahishi, who for years was close to al-Zawahri and bin Laden, and is one of al-Qaida’s few remaining core leaders, said SITE director Rita Katz.

Intelligence officials say AQAP has for years announced its intent to attack the U.S., and is widely considered the biggest threat to the West of the al-Qaida affiliates.

The group is linked to the botched Christmas Day 2009 bombing of an airliner bound for Detroit and explosives-laden parcels intercepted aboard cargo flights a year later.

Katz said AQAP may serve as the future al-Qaida headquarters, given that al-Zawahri and other core leaders pay attention to al-Wahishi. But she warned, “There will be a new leader in the future, and I doubt it will stay the same.�

For the most part, alQaida’s regional power centers have formed in places undergoing political upheaval, where security forces are too distracted by internal war or strife to clamp down on extremists.

The civil war in Syria,

now in its third year, has given al-Qaida a huge boost and an opportunity to seize land that the Sunni-based network has long yearned to control.

Having a leadership role in Syria would be a victory for al-Qaida given the country’s prominence in Muslim scripture, its proximity to other Arab states and the network’s hatred toward Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, who include Syrian President Bashar Assad.

More than 100,000 people have died in the Syrian war, which largely pits Sunni opposition forces and rebels against Assad’s Alawite regime, and has drawn fighters linked to al-Qaida. Many have come from neighboring Iraq, which itself is reeling from political instability.

Violence has risen steadily since the American military left Iraq in December 2011, fueled in part by Syrian crossborder militant traffic but also because of Baghdad’s inability to curb attacks.

July was the deadliest month in Iraq in years, with attacks killing more than 1,000 people and wounding at least 2,300, according to U.N. data.

And coordinated jailbreaks at two high-security Iraqi prisons last month set free hundreds of inmates, including al-Qaida extremists. Iraq’s branch

of al-Qaida, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, claimed responsibility for the raids that it said were planned for months.

Kenneth Pollack, who oversaw Persian Gulf issues while on the White House National Security Council during the Clinton administration, said al-Qaida is poised to gain from instability across the Mideast — in part by using Iraq as a regional hub. “Al-Qaida in Iraq is back. They were dead in 2010, dead as doornails, and now they are huge in Iraq,� Pollack said. “They have operations in Syria and they are a real movement in Syria.�

But the al-Qaida fighters in Iraq and Syria have shown little interest in attacking Americans beyond the region, Pollack said, and neither have most of those in northern Africa. There, in a region that spans across the Sahel and stretches from the Mediterranean Sea to Somalia, a spread of militants are calling themselves al-Qaida in Islamic Maghreb.

AQIM is rooted in Algeria and affiliated with al-Zawahri, who in April warned French troops fighting extremists in Mali that they would face “the same fate America met in Iraq and Afghanistan� as long as they stayed. But

there’s no evidence the North African groups receive direct orders from al-Zawahri, and most are as motivated by asserting local authority through criminal activity as by anti-Western ideology.

It’s believed that AQIM was linked to some of the militants behind last year’s attack on a diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

And AQIM is suspected of driving overloaded trucks of rifles, mortars and other weapons from Libya to Mali and Niger to arm allies there.

Al-Zawahri also urged Muslims to join Somali militants in a message last November. The Somalibased militant group alShabab is loosely linked to al-Qaida, but some of its members have plotted attacks against the United States, where large pockets of Somalis have moved to escape famine and war over the last 20 years.

An inevitable part of alQaida’s growth is its new regional leadership — few of whom fought with bin Laden or have ever worked with al-Zawahri, Katz said. They may not all be driven by the same anti-American or antiWestern fervors that motivated bin Laden, but that makes them no less a global threat as the disparate groups mature.

Mattsson, Ben Cross.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Rev. Jan Mathieson pastors two churches in Scotland dating to the 1600s and 1700s, and for the past few weeks she has been the visiting pastor at New Hope Presbyterian Church in Biggersville. See staff writer/photographer Jebb Johnston’s story on Sunday.

General contractor wants to fire his wife, but save his marriage DEAR ABBY: I am a self-employed general contractor, and have been for the most part successful. My wife, “Janine,” worked in the mortgage industry, but because of the economic downturn hasn’t worked in three years.

After her mom provided some financial help to my business eight months ago, Janine decided she wanted to work for me doing the office work and bookkeeping. The problem is, she doesn’t show up until late afternoon and stays only a short while. She doesn’t get any work done, and then she leaves. She constantly rushes to get the bills paid at the very last minute.

Although my wife is collegeeducated, she really can’t handle the job. Her work ethic is terrible. I started my company and I’m the boss. When Janine doesn’t agree with me about something, she yells so loud I’m sure the people who work next door can hear her. I have talked to her about this, and we have fought about it. I tried to fire, her but she says if she can’t work for my business, we might as well get divorced.

I never wanted a partner and didn’t ask for one, and now I feel trapped with an employee from hell. I love Janine and don’t want a divorce. How can I get her to quit and still stay married? -NEEDS HELP IN CALIFORNIA

D E A R NEEDS: Your wife’s behavior is immature and inappropriate.

If her being in your office Abigail is connected Van Buren to the money her mother loaned you, Dear Abby my advice is to repay it immediately before your wife’s “dabbling” as a business partner disrupts the business any further.

You may love Janine, but if the only thing holding your marriage together is allowing her to play at working in the office, then I’m sorry to say you don’t have much of a marriage. Wake up and smell the coffee. You need an assistant and your wife needs something else to occupy her time.

DEAR ABBY: I was abused as a child through my teenage years. I told my mom and we talked about it. My stepfather was the molester.

Part of me is still angry about what he did to me, but another part thinks fondly of the life we had as kids. What’s wrong with me? Is it normal to have conflicted emotions about a person who hurt you? None of my siblings know about my past. My

stepfather is deceased now and so is my mom. -- SURVIVOR IN MARYLAND DEAR SURVIVOR: You deserve credit for not only being able to acknowledge your pain, but also emotionally mature enough to look back and not diminish the good things. It’s a sign that you are healthy. Your feelings are normal, and you are to be congratulated for being able to view your history in its entirety.

DEAR ABBY: The women I work with are now starting to have grandchildren. That’s great, but when did it become trendy to have baby showers for the grandmothers? Personally, I think this is over the top. What about you?

-- SHOWER OVERLOAD IN MINNESOTA DEAR SHOWER OVERLOAD: I don’t agree. It may have become trendy around the time that so many grandmothers assumed responsibility for raising their grandchildren. Or, the women may be so excited about welcoming a first grandchild that they want to celebrate with a party of their own. Because you feel differently, simply decline the invitations.

(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).

When it happens easily, you usually take it as a sign that it was meant to be. Of course, there’s a difference between “easy” and “automatic.” What happens automatically could just be a bad habit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Readers are leaders. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always go both ways. If your leader today isn’t up on the latest literature in your area of interest, time will be wasted. Do your own research.

Don’t take anyone’s word for granted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being aware of others will be tough if you’re dealing with too much personally. That’s why it’s never selfish to take excellent care of yourself. Move commitments and clutter from your schedule to spend time nurturing yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You don’t have to be graceful, artful or precise about it -- just get it done. The obstacles you overcome today will have a story

of woe to tell once you’re done with them!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll like the exclusivity of today’s arrangement. Your Pulitzer Prizewinning sign mate Russell Baker noted, “People seem to enjoy things more when they know a lot of other people have been left out of the pleasure.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Today has that road-trip feel: life blurring by and you trying to capture pieces of it from a rolleddown window. Of course, you could always pull over and stop awhile.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Mental escape is not quite as relaxing as physical escape, but when you’re as committed and busy as you are today, it will have to do.

At least you can visit that happy place in your mind as often as possible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A fascinating person doesn’t just talk to you; this person finds a way into the conversation and under your skin. You’ll be challenged and moved by the inter-

action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have advocates, not that you need defense or are trying to inspire passion in your devotees. But still it’s nice to know that people are on your side and will be there when and if you ever need them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t waste your breath explaining yourself. You can’t tell people what to think about you.

What you say won’t matter. But what you inspire others to say about your message will matter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Hitchhikers walking toward their destination are more likely to be picked up than those standing in one place with a sign. Move toward your purpose, and someone is likely to give you a ride.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You have an extensive list of things you need in order to tackle a project. Rip that list in half, and things will work out even better. Also consider how some people get by in life without many “essential” things.

Key Stats Avg. w/ Runners in Scoring Position

Mike Trout, Los Angeles The ultra-talented center fielder continues to impress with his overall game. Last week he batted .500 and was also walked 13 times for a .719 OBP. He scored eight runs and had four extra-base hits.

David Price, Tampa Bay Since returning from the DL last month, Price has shown the brilliance that earned him the Cy Young award last season. For the week, he pitched 16.1 innings with no walks, seven hits and 13 strikeouts.

Jason Heyward, Atlanta The Braves certainly have several candidates, but it has been Heyward who has sparked the lineup from his new position atop the order.

Last week, his .469 OBP led to 12 runs, which was the best mark in the majors.

Finally, the Biogenesis PED scandal of 2013 appears to be winding down. No more rumors, no more innuendo, no more speculation, no “reports from sources close to the situation.” MLB has dropped the gavel and issued suspensions to 14 players. Ryan Braun of Milwaukee accepted his 65-game suspension earlier and MLB announced the sentences for another 13 players on Monday, including Alex Rodriguez.

A-Rod, expected to appear for the first time this season for the Yankees Monday night, is appealing his suspension and will play until the appeal is heard.

The suspensions certainly damage the players’ reputations and can have a significant impact on their bank accounts, but their teammates can also suffer as well as the organizations.

As far as pennant races go, only the Rangers and Tigers are affected this season. Detroit made a shrewd move at the trade deadline to acquire Jose Iglesias from Boston to cover for the loss of shortstop Jhonny Peralta. Texas’ attempts to add a bat at the deadline didn’t produce any results, leaving a gaping hole in the Rangers’ lineup.

Trade Deadline Frenzy?

The “frenzy” at the trade deadline last Wednesday never really materialized, but there were a handful of significant trades over the past few weeks that could affect the 2013 pennant races.

Here is how I see the winners and losers after the trade deadline.

WINNERS Boston Red Sox The Sox weren’t shy about giving up some prospects, but were steadfast in holding on to rising star Xander Bogaerts, a 20-year-old shortstop expected to contribute next season.

Boston acquired a major addition to the rotation with Jake Peavy. The former Cy Young winner usually keeps his teams in games and logs innings, taking pressure off the bullpen. He has some health questions, and the likelihood that he could miss some starts is higher than the Sox would like. But if he makes 10 starts for Boston, the Red Sox are much more likely to fend off Tampa Bay and Baltimore. Matt Thornton, acquired from the Chicago White Sox in a separate deal, deepens the Red Sox bullpen.

Detroit Tigers With the impending suspension of shortstop Jhonny Peralta, the Tigers took a preemptive strike in trading for Jose Iglesias from Boston. The defensive whiz will immediately upgrade the Tigers’ defense up the middle, and the former Cuban star hasn’t been too shabby with the bat. Detroit has enough offense to withstand the loss of Peralta’s bat, and Iglesias improves the Tigers’ defense. Avisail Garcia, traded to Chicago in the three-team deal with Boston, is a rising star, but the Tigers need to ensure their position in the playoffs this season, so this deal makes a ton of sense. One glaring need all season has been bullpen help. The team addresseed this wth the addition of Jose Veras from Houston, who had 19 saves for the Astros.

32 15 14 .171 .363 5 5

reliever Joe Thatcher was acquired from San Diego along with minor leaguer Matt Stites, a closer at DoubleA, for Ian Kennedy. While this improves the bullpen, offensively the D-backs need lots of help. Paul Goldschmidt has twice as many homers and RBIs as any teammate. Arizona did not improve its roster enough to come back and catch the Dodgers.

Jose Iglesias (left) improves the Tigers’ defense, and Jake Peavy bolsters Boston’s rotation.

Chicago Cubs The Cubs aren’t expecting to contend this season or next, so building their farm system with an eye toward sustaining success through the second half of this decade is a prudent approach.

The Cubs’ return for Scott Feldman and Matt Garza brought good value for the future, and they were able to unload Carlos Marmol and Alfonso Soriano.

LOSERS Texas Rangers Reports that the Rangers were willing to listen on any player speak to how desperate the team was to improve its offense, especially in light of the impending suspension of their best run producer Nelson Cruz. The team’s slugging percentage dropped to .362 in June. The acquisition of Matt Garza gives the Rangers a respectable 1-2-3 punch with Yu Darvish and Derek Holland, but the Rangers need offense badly, and that was with Cruz.

Baltimore Orioles The acquisitions of Scott Feldman and Bud Norris boost the rotation, and Francisco Rodriguez adds experienced depth to the bullpen, but the club really could use some pop at DH and protection for Chris Davis. The Orioles are 0-for-9 after an intentional walk to Davis. The slugger will be avoided more and more as the season goes along. If rookie Henry Urrutia can fill the role as DH/Davis protector, then the Orioles will have played their hand well. If not, Buck Showalter will be left wishing he had a few more weapons in his arsenal.

Arizona Diamondbacks The season is quickly slipping away from the D-Men. I had the Diamondbacks in the Jake Peavy pool, so that didn’t work out too well. The pitching staff is not too bad, especially if Trevor Cahill can come back and be productive soon. Left-handed

Pittsburgh Pirates With Andrew McCutchen warming up and Pedro Alvarez finally becoming the power threat the Pirates envisioned when they made him the No. 2 overall selection in 2008, the offense is not bad. But leading up to the deadline, the Bucs were batting just .243 with a .390 slugging percentage. A hitter like Justin Morneau or even Marlon Byrd could have been helpful. But the biggest problem could be the bullpen.

Clint Hurdle’s plan was working perfectly with Mark Melancon setting up closer Jason Grilli, who was nearly perfect. But with Grilli out for what could be an extended time, all the roles have shifted, and Pittsburgh may begin to let a few close games slip away without additional help.

New York Yankees With the Orioles adding two starting pitchers and reliever Rodriguez, the Red Sox bolstering their rotation and even the Rays strengthening their bullpen, the Yankees didn’t do much to address some dire needs. Yes, bringing Alfonso Soriano back was a positive step, but there was nothing done to beef up the pitching staff or find a right-handed hitting first baseman, to say nothing of the gaping hole at third base. The Yankees have gotten just four home runs from the hot corner this season, or one fewer than the Cubs have gotten from their pitching staff.

There are three players who have appeared in the major leagues this season with 300 or more career home runs and a .300 or better career batting average. Can you name the trio?

RBIs for Pedro Alvarez of the Pirates against the St. Louis Cardinals since the beginning of last season. No other player has more than 13 during that time.

Games in the standings the Dodgers have gained in the NL West since June 22. Los Angeles was 9.5 games behind Arizona in late June. As of Sunday, the Dodgers are 5.5 games up.

Consecutive road wins for the Dodgers, the longest streak in franchise history. Los Angeles begins a four-game set at St. Louis on Monday.

Opponents batting average against the Pittsburgh Pirates’ staff with the bases loaded.

Opponents batting average against the San Francisco Giants’ staff with the bases loaded.

Home runs by Kansas City clean-up hitters this season, the lowest total in the majors. The Royals’ No. 4 batters also have the fewest RBIs with 44.

Saves this season for Ernesto Frieri of the Angels in which he recorded more than three outs. No other pitcher has more than two saves of more than one inning. Frieri joined Jason Motte of St. Louis and Rafael Soriano of the Yankees as the only pitchers with as many as five saves of four outs or more in 2012.

Athlon Sports

TRIVIA ANSWER: Todd Helton of Colorado, the Angels’ Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers.

A.J. Burnett, Pittsburgh When the Pirates really needed Burnett last week, he responded masterfully, holding the rival Cardinals to one run on three hits over seven innings in the Bucs’ 2-1 win. Burnett followed that with a complete game win over the Rockies.

Rookie Fernandez gives Marlins badly needed boost

BY STEVEN WINE Associated Press

MIAMI — Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez might lead the league in laughing. He’ll yuk it up in the clubhouse hours before the first pitch, and on the field during batting practice, and even in the dugout after a game starts. The rookie hops and hoots, twirls his arms or pounds the railing with a grin whenever a teammate does something good.

The smile disappears when Fernandez takes the mound, and his pitching leaves batters wearing a frown. Strikeouts lately have come at a rate drawing comparisons to Randy Johnson and a young Kerry Wood.

But as soon as Fernandez is removed from a game he’s clowning around again, feinting that he’s going to sneak back to the mound, or donning a batting helmet as if he expects to hit in a key situation.

“He does that stuff just to irritate me,” manager Mike Redmond said with

a chuckle. “He wants to see if he can get a reaction.”

The reaction to Fernandez has mostly come in the form of rave reviews.

For the Marlins he’s a badly needed attentiongetter, and his golden arm and generous grin might be enough to put baseball back in the good graces of South Florida.

“He loves the stage,” teammate Logan Morrison said. “He’s not afraid to be great.”

The Marlins have the worst record in the National League and the worst home attendance in the majors, but Fernandez is leading them out of the wilderness. He takes an 8-5 record and 2.54 ERA into Thursday’s start at Pittsburgh, and since pitching a perfect inning in the All-Star Game he has been spectacular, with 13 and 14 strikeouts in his past two outings while allowing a total of two runs.

The hard-throwing right-hander, who turned 21 last week, became the first pitcher to record

at least 13 strikeouts in consecutive games since Johnson in 2004, and the first rookie to do so since Wood in 1998. He’s the fifth pitcher younger than 22 to achieve the feat since 1900, and the performances were especially impressive because they came against Pittsburgh and Cleveland, two likely playoff teams.

“It was something I actually enjoyed watching,” Indians pitcher Scott Kazmir said after Fernandez beat them 10-0.

“He pitched a heck of a game.”

Former Marlins manager Jack McKeon’s not big on hype after spending 65 years in professional baseball, but he gushes about Fernandez.

“Sensational,” McKeon said. “You know you’ve got something special.

He can come at you in so many different ways, it’s just nasty. And you have that personality, and his love for the game. He’s a winner in my book.”

Fernandez is reminiscent of another rookie pitcher a decade ago —

Dontrelle Willis, who captivated Marlins fans with his effervescent personality, and confused batters with his quirky delivery. Dontrelle-mania broke out in Miami in the summer of 2003, and Willis remains the only player in the 20-year history of the Marlins to significantly lift their attendance.

Fernandez’s storybook background should magnify his celebrity in South Florida. He defected from Cuba on his fourth try after spending time in prison, and rescued his mother from the sea during their successful escape in 2008.

But there’s no Josemania yet. Attendance for his most recent start Friday was 17,731, the smallest crowd during a 10-game homestand, and the Marlins have resisted the temptation to promote the former firstround draft pick as a boxoffice star.

Management is well aware Willis went 14-6 in his rookie year and is 5863 since then.

“Jose has the best personality of a player I’ve come across in a long, long time,” team president David Samson said.

“But when he made this team coming out of spring training, we said we weren’t going to do anything to make him feel we were counting on him from a marketing standpoint.

“I want him to focus on being on the best major-leaguer he can be.

Because I have news for you: There are scores of players who have been great rookies who had no career.”

With his excellent mechanics and extraordinary command, Fernandez might have staying power. And while he’s the biggest reason the Marlins are optimistic about their future, he’s not the only reason.

Outfielders Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich and Jake Marisnick, rookie shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, and starting pitchers Jacob Turner, Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez

are all younger than 25.

Stanton is already a former NL slugging champion, while the others are all highly regarded.

A disastrous 2012 made the Marlins a national laughingstock, and this season they started 13-41. But they’ve since gone 30-27 through Tuesday while relying heavily on the youth, and team officials believe the revival will last.

“It was tough in April and May,” Samson said.

“I don’t know that we expected it would turn around this quickly. But every game now is another moment toward being competitive for a full season, which is what we want next year.”

The Marlins’ 17-monthold stadium remains half empty for most games, partly because it has been four years since they finished above .500 and a decade since they made the playoffs. If they start winning again, the handsome new ballpark might yet fill up, helped by Fernandez’s charisma and strikeouts.

NEW ORLEANS — Although the Sun Belt Conference is in flux right now, all four of the league's bowl teams from last season are back.

Two of them are co-favorites to win the league — according to a preseason coaches' poll — and happen to be in-state rivals: Louisiana-Lafayette and LouisianaMonroe.

only season in the Sun Belt because WKU jumps to Conference USA next season. He hopes to have the Hilltoppers on top of the league and in a second-straight bowl, but the former Louisville and Atlanta Falcons coach doesn't expect it to be easy, and noted how far the once-fledgling midmajor league has come in its 13 years.

“When you look back on the success that the Sun Belt had last year, it just speaks for itself,” Petrino said. “You had four teams go to bowl games and some really major upsets. ... It's going to be very, very competitive.”

Petrino was referring to Louisiana-Monroe's comeback win at Arkansas. He also recalled how close Louisiana-

Lafayette came to upsetting Florida before the Gators returned a blocked punt for a score in the final seconds.

ULM also nearly won at Auburn.

“To me, the strength of our conference is still here, intact,” said Louisiana-Lafayette coach Mark Hudspeth, who's led the Ragin' Cajuns to two straight New Orleans Bowl triumphs.

After an Independence Bowl berth last season, ULM coach Todd Berry said he would have been disappointed if his Warhawks weren't a favorite, particularly in light of the experience coming back, led by quarterback Kolton Browning, the league's preseason offensive player of the year, who passed for more

than 3,000 yards last season.

“In today's college football, when you've got a quarterback, you've got a chance,” Berry said. “We've got a quarterback, so we've got a chance.”

Coaches picked Troy to finish fifth, but the Trojans and coach Larry Blakeney know how to win, having won five straight league titles from 2006-2010. Last season, all but one of their seven losses came by a touchdown or less, so they don't seem far behind.

McIlroy searches for kid who conquered PGA

BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — The curls no longer spilled from under his cap, a big change for Rory McIlroy. Prompted to reveal the rest of his free haircut, he removed his hat and wild brown locks sprang to life.

“Still a little bit on the top,” he said Wednesday with an easy smile.

Only then did McIlroy resemble the Boy Wonder who dominated golf last summer, starting with his win at the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island by a record margin. He didn’t walk down the fairways that week, he bounced. He was No. 1 in the world, and looked every bit the part.

McIlroy would love to rediscover that kid at Oak Hill this

week.

In its place is a 24-year-old from Northern Ireland who has reason to feel much older.

He hasn’t won a tournament, and only once did he even come close. He has finished over par in all three majors, with only two rounds at the British Open. He has failed to make the cut five times this year, which includes walking off the course in the Honda Classic with sore wisdom teeth that still haven’t been removed.

Among betting favorites, he was second only to Tiger Woods at the Masters at 5-to-1. For the PGA Championship, the odds are 30-to-1, higher than two players (Henrik Stenson and Brandt Snedeker) who have never won a major.

And he can’t wait to get to

the first tee Thursday afternoon.

Inspiration comes from videos he has been watching of his eight-shot win at Kiawah Island, along with his back-toback FedEx Cup playoff wins against some of the strongest fields of the year. Some of what he noticed was technical, such as the position of his club in the swing. What really stood out was the body language.

“It’s how you carry yourself.

It’s all that sort of stuff, your little mannerisms,” McIlroy said. “I guess it’s just trying to remember those feelings and remember how I felt that week and trying to carry some of that into this week and just get those good, positive thoughts going.

“I think everyone sees when I walk and I’m playing well, I

have that little bounce in my step.”

What would go a lot longer at Oak Hill is keeping the ball in play on a traditional, treelined course — so many trees that even being in the fairway doesn’t mean a clear shot at the green if the ball is slightly out of position. The greens are small and slope toward the front. Oak Hill is a hard golf course, and the evidence comes from the previous five majors held on this Donald Ross design — only 10 players in those five majors have finished under par.

“This may be the toughest golf course, but the fairest golf course that we play,” said Tom Watson, playing this major for the 32nd time. “Somebody is going to win this thing, and Please see MCILROY | 13

Thursday, August 8, 2013

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Last time Rob Labritz checked, the YouTube video of the shot of his golfing life had more than 7,000 views.

He isn't sure that quite counts as viral, but the way he qualified for his fourth PGA Championship has Labritz seeing good omens everywhere.

Labritz is one of the PGA professionals who earned spots this week at Oak Hill by finishing in the top 20 at their national championship in Oregon in late June. He and three others were competing in a playoff for the last spot when he holed a wedge shot from 95 yards.

His wife is eight months' pregnant, his mother was declared cancer-free just last week, so why shouldn't he set a goal for a top-15 finish?

“I just want to keep riding the wave,” Labritz said Wednesday, a day before teeing off in the first group of the PGA Championship.

For these 20 pros, golf is their job, but they often work on everything but their game. Rod Perry, who won this year's PGA Professional National Championship, estimates he maybe plays once a week.

“I might play on a Friday afternoon with one of the member's groups, or I might play in a section event maybe on a Monday or something like that,” said the 39-yearold Perry, the head pro at Crane Lakes in Port Orange, Fla. “But I know there was a couple stints over the winter where two or three weeks would go by and I wouldn't play at all.”

Mike Small's job carries different demands but the same conundrum — a lot of time around the course but not much playing. He's the men's golf coach at Illinois, the runner-up at this year's NCAA Championships.

Small played a practice round Wednesday with former Illini teammate Steve Stricker and one of his for-

mer players, Luke Guthrie.

Small has a much longer playing resume than many of his competitors in Oregon — he was on the PGA Tour in the 1990s and is in his ninth PGA Championship and 12th major. He was the low PGA pro in 2007 and '11.

Still, this is just Small's third tournament of the year as a player. He'd like to practice more with his Illini, but it often just doesn't work out.

Since qualifying in late June, he's held two camps and hit the road for three recruiting trips.

However rare, entering tournaments is worth it. The competition. The break from the routine of the job. The chance to learn from the best players and toughest courses.

“It's part of who I am,” Small said.

Oh, and it doesn't hurt in recruiting.

“It differentiates us from other teams. Each program has its own niche, and this is ours,” he said, an orange

“I'' plastered on his cap, shirt and bag.

Labritz generally plays in 10-15 events a year. The owners and members at GlenArbor in Bedford Hills, N.Y., about 45 miles north of New York City, enjoy seeing him representing the club well.

“I've got probably one of the best jobs on the planet,” he said. “They allow me to play and practice as much as I feel I need to keep my game at the highest level.”

But a berth in the PGA Championship looked unlikely on the second playoff hole June 26. Six players had started the playoff for three spots, and two qualified with birdies on the first hole.

Labritz then found himself with a bad lie when his tee shot landed in a fairway bunker. He had to punch out while the other three played onto the green on the par-4 11th at Sunriver.

He wound up being the only player to birdie the hole.

Easy to find autographs of college stars for sale online Volunteers forced to rely on young receivers

BY RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press

BY STEVE MEGARGEE Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee prides itself as Wide Receiver U. because of its history of producing pros at that position, and the latest NFL Draft decimated the Volunteers' receiving corps.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Cordarrelle Patterson in the first round, the Tennessee Titans took Justin Hunter in the second round and the Oakland Raiders chose tight end Mychal Rivera in the sixth round. Zach Rogers signed as a free agent with the New York Jets.

Their departures leave Tennessee without any wideouts who caught more than 13 passes or accumulated more than 149 receiving yards last season.

NEW YORK — A simple search on eBay reveals Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is far from the only college football player whose autograph is for sale.

Pick a star and you can find memorabilia with a supposedly verified signature.

South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney. Ohio State's Braxton Miller. Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas. Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater.

Alabama's AJ McCarron. The list goes on and on.

The difference is ESPN has reported the NCAA is investigating whether Manziel, the Texas A&M quarterback, got paid to sign autographs, which would violate amateurism rules. That has led to other schools being asked questions about whether their players earned money for signatures.

If the allegations against

Manziel, made by unidentified sources to ESPN, are proved true by the NCAA, his eligibility for the coming season could be in doubt as well as his status as a Heisman winner.

ESPN reported that a top autograph authenticator had authenticated nearly 1,000 Manziel autographs.

Brandon Steiner of Steiner Sports, which is the official collectible and memorabilia company of the NBA, the New York Yankees and Notre Dame, among others, said his company does not do business with college athletes.

He said Manziel would likely be able to sign a contract with a collectibles company of at least $100,000 after he went pro.

“I know there is a vibrant Heisman Trophy collectible audience out there,” he said.

A market flooded with Manziel autographs could cost him money later, Steiner

said.

“It creates market confusion and takes a lot away from the category,” Steiner said Wednesday.

Other college athletes might want to take note.

Two sports websites — bustedcoverage.com and goodbullhunting.com — found what appeared to be dozens of authenticated items signed by Clowney online, and that led to questions for South Carolina officials.

Associate athletic director Chris Rogers said Wednesday the school's compliance office has looked into the Clowney autographs on eBay and found no violations had occurred.

“The websites that we've looked at and the pictures and autographs and items that we've found over the last academic year, we've not had any issues to suggest that anything impermissible had occurred,” Rogers said.

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said school officials have determined Miller had not profited from the numerous items found online with his signature. Smith said the quarterback signed many autographs at a Big Ten preseason kickoff luncheon. Presumably fans or memorabilia brokers then went and sold items they got autographed for free.

“We've already looked at it,” Smith said. “There's no issue there.”

Louisville came to a similar conclusion.

“We are aware of many of the items for sale online that have been autographed by several of our studentathletes with remaining eligibility. As we are required to do by NCAA rules, we regularly review these items and send correspondence to the seller(s) requesting Please see MANZIEL | 13

“I told my wife today this season may age me about 10 years,” Tennessee wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni quipped after Tuesday night's practice.

“There will be some peaks and valleys for sure. There will be a lot of growing pains, but they're willing and it will be fun coaching these young guys.”

Tennessee's lack of proven playmakers in the passing game represents a major concern heading into the Aug. 31 season opener with Austin Peay. A firstyear starting quarterback who hasn't been named yet will be throwing to an untested receiving corps.

Azzanni says he feels “a lot better” about his receivers now than in spring practice, when his players struggled to adapt to new coach Butch Jones' fastpaced offense.

“We've come a long way,” sophomore Alton “Pig” Howard said. “A lot of us got used to the offense. Everyone's buying in. We're way more conditioned.”

The arrival of a talented freshman class provides hope. The headliner in that group is North, one of the nation's top receiving prospects in his class.

At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, North possesses the size this receiving corps was seeking. Tennessee's only wideouts who caught a pass last year - Howard, junior Jacob Carter, junior Vincent Dallas and converted running back Devrin Young - are 6 feet or shorter. The Vols do have 6-5 redshirt freshman Jason Croom, who has earned plenty of praise from the new staff.

“In a very small time, (North) has proven that

he's going to be one of our playmakers,” Jones said. “He's dynamic. He's strong. He's physical. He can run.”

Smith also has made a favorable impression, though an injury prevented him from working out with the other receivers Tuesday. Newcomers also include Blinn (Texas) College transfer Johnathon Johnson plus freshmen Paul Harris and Ryan Jenkins. Harris enrolled in time to participate in spring practice.

Azzanni said he likes to rotate as many as nine receivers, so every wideout on the roster has an opportunity. These receivers are getting a crash course on how to thrive with this staff.

Howard said he's watched film of Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown, who transformed from walk-on to star while playing for Jones and Azzanni at Central Michigan.

Azzanni, who came to Tennessee from Wisconsin, said he spent the majority of an hour-long meeting Tuesday showing clips of Jared Abbrederis, a former walk-on who earned all-Big Ten honors with the Badgers a year ago.

Perhaps one of these young receivers eventually develops into the next Abbrederis or Brown so that Tennessee fans won't spend the season looking back wistfully at the exploits of Patterson and Hunter. But no leader from this group has emerged just yet.

“I wish we had a little bit more 'alpha male' in our group, but we just don't,” Azzanni said. “Part of the reason is because we don't have a guy who's stepped up and taken a starting job yet. No one's really stepped up and said, 'I'm the man. Follow me.' Everyone's still trying to find their way, feel their way and earn a spot.”

college head coach, missing out on a bowl only once. He led both Louisville and Arkansas to their first BCS games and if not for off-the-field problems, he might still be coaching the Razorbacks. Arkansans fired Petrino in April 2012 for a “pattern of misleading” behavior following an accident in which the coach was injured while riding a motorcycle with his mistress as a passenger. At WKU, The 52-year-old Petrino replaces Willie Taggart, who left for South Florida after leading the Hilltoppers to a 7-5 regular sea-

son record and bid to the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.

2: BROADWAY ENCORE: Ragin' Cajuns quarterback Terrance Broadway burst onto the scene last year because of an early season injury to starter Blaine Gautier. The dual-threat QB wound up producing 3,611 yards of total offense, including 769 yards on the ground. Now he's on the 2013 watch list for the Manning Award, giving to the nation's top college quarterback.

3: BROWNING'S SWAN SONG: Browning enters his senior season at ULM with a host of preseason accolades. Not

only is he the Sun Belt preseason offensive player of the year, but also has been named to watch lists for the Walter Camp Award, Davey O'Brien Quarterback Award, Maxwell Award and CFPA Offensive Awards.

4: COACHING CAROUSEL: Arkansas State is a contender despite having its fourth coach in four years. Last year, Gus Malzahn was in charge.

He's since left for Auburn, replaced by former Texas co-offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin.

ond round that tied his personal best. That gave Woods five wins this year, which is five more than McIlroy.

Phil Mickelson opened with a 65 in 2003 the last time the PGA Championship was played at Oak Hill until fading badly in one of his worst seasons as a pro. He is coming off an astounding win at the British Open, where his 66 in the final round is regarded as one of the best closing rounds in a major. If he could pick off another PGA Championship, Mickelson would

be a shoo-in as PGA Tour player of the year, an award he has never won.

McIlroy, meanwhile, has been largely forgotten through ordinary play and endless questions about a season gone wrong from his opening tournament when he missed the cut in Abu Dhabi. Some of his troubles have been attributed to a wholesale equipment change, others to his decision to change management companies.

McIlroy said his switch to Nike is no longer an excuse, not with 15 tournaments under his belt.

Alabama enters its second after a 2-11 record in its debut season. Some coaches see Texas State as a sleeping giant, given its easy access to fertile recruiting grounds and its hiring of coach Dennis Franchione, who previously coached at Alabama and Texas A&M. Predicted order of finish in preseason coaches' poll: 1. Louisiana-Lafayette (cofavorite) 1. Louisiana-Monroe (co-favorite) 3. Arkansas State 4. Western Kentucky 5. Troy 6. Texas State 7.

We have spoken with Teddy Bridgewater and we are comfortable that no violation has occurred.”

Clowney, Bridgewater and Miller enter the season has prime contenders for the Heisman.

Manziel became the first freshman to win it

last season. It's unclear if an NCAA violation would cause the Heisman trust to reconsider Manziel's victory.

Heisman Trust's rules state: “The recipient must be in compliance with the bylaws defining an NCAA Student-Athlete.”

“The Heisman Trust never comments on speculation,” Heisman spokesman Tim Henning said Wednesday.

Reggie Bush's 2005 Heisman Trophy was later vacated after the NCAA found he had received improper benefits during his winning season.

that person is going to play awfully well, awfully good golf this week. Wish I could say that’s me.”

Watson was joking. Not so funny is that the way McIlroy’s year has gone, there isn’t much reason to believe it could be him, either.

Most of the attention is on Woods, even though he has gone five years and 17 majors without winning one. Woods won the Bridgestone Invitational last week by seven shots, sparked by a 61 in the sec-

He says it has taken longer than usual to work his way out of bad habits.

“I guess every time you play and you don’t play well, it sort of chips away at your confidence a little bit,” he said.

McIlroy has gone through this before. Only a year ago, he had gone five months without a win and missed the cut in four out of five tournaments.

With a spark at Firestone, he showed up at Kiawah Island and overwhelmed the strongest field in golf in ways only Woods used to do.
