Arena board names new chairman BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Dr. Hardwick Kay has been designated temporary chairman of the Crossroads Arena Board. Kay, a board member since 1996, assumes the chairman role after longtime chairman Bill Strickland was not reappointed to the board. Alva Dalton was appointed to take over as board vice chairman. “We are going to continue what we started,� said Kay who was appointed to the position by fellow board members on Aug. 15. “We have a lot of good things going on here.� Kay said the biggest obstacle the board faces is financing the $7 million multipurpose facility which opened in November of 1999.
“There is so much maintenance that goes with a building that is over 10 years old,â€? said the board chairman. “We have a light bill between $10,000$15,000 each month.â€? The Crossroads Arena receives funding from a Corinth tourism tax of two percent which is equally divided with the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. The arena side of the funding can not be used for operations. Money is used only to retire the debt on the building or for capital improvements. “We have come a long way,â€? said Kay. “I can't praise this staff enough ‌ they work a lot of hours and don't complain.â€? At this point, the arena has three full-time employees and a part-time person on staff. The facility has been without a
general manager since the resignation of Kathryn Dilworth in December. “We will start pretty soon putting out feelers on a general manager,� said the chairman. “That's something we are going to have to do.� Until a new manager is found, Kay remains optimistic. “We have a really good staff and board who have been absorbing the extra work,� he said. A recent change for the board has been the replacement of longtime board chairman Strickland. Joe Franks was appointed to fill Strickland's position earlier this month. “Bill put in a lot of time to make the arena successful,� said Kay. “He had a heart for the arena and I respect his hard work.� Board members serve five-
year terms. The City of Corinth and Alcorn County, which jointly own the Crossroads Arena, are each allowed three appointments to the board with one of the seven spots being jointly appointed. The seven-person board consists of Thom Rogers, Jane Clark Summers, Sam Tull, Phyllis Keith-Young along with Kay, Dalton and Franks. Dalton, Keith-Young and Tull are city appointments. The county representatives are Kay, Rogers and Summers. Franks is the joint appointment. Board members receive no compensation for their service. Rogers and Summers were recently reappointed to another five-year term. “I enjoy being involved in community service and this is the best opportunity that I have
ever had,� said Kay. “The arena couldn't run without the support of the board,� said staff member Cindy Davis. “We all care about the arena and want to see it make money and stay in the county.� According to Kay, the arena is in the process of cleaning up close to 20 acres behind the building that can be used to alleviate a parking problem. “Parking is a problem,� he said. “The supervisors are furnishing the equipment and inmates have been used for labor to clean up the land.� Kay was quick to praise the supervisors for all they do. “They are a big help,� he said. “Anything they can fix for us they are ready to step in.� The arena board meets the third Wednesday of each month at 1:30 p.m.

J.J. Jasper had them laughing. The popular morning radio personality and comedian then encouraged the room to finish strong in life. Jasper provided the weekly program at the Tuesday meeting of the Corinth Kiwanis Club at the Weaver Center. The morning deejay with American Family Radio brought a unique style of humor and encouragement to the crowd. “He has always had an interesting outlook on life,â€? said Kiwanis member DuJuana Frazier Thompson. That outlook has been used as an author of two books — “Moses Was A Basket Caseâ€? and a children’s book, “When I Grow Upâ€? — and as a stand-up comedian. A DVD has also been released following the Jasper family after the death of their son Cooper in 2009. “I encourage each of you to hug the neck of your children and grandchildren,â€? said Jasper after telling the story of how his young son was killed in a go kart accident. “I am blessed to be a family man and believe children are a gift from God ‌ they aren't too expensive and in the way as the world says.â€? In the DVD “Flame On — A True Story of Hope in the Midst of Great Personal Tragedyâ€? — the Jaspers are shown as a family of strength while going through a heart wrenching time. “It's a story of hope on the other side of personal tragedy,â€? he told the Kiwanis.

Farmington considers using Facebook to aid debt collection BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
FARMINGTON — The city leadership in Farmington is looking into public shaming as a way to recoup funds on some unpaid sewer bills. In Tuesday night’s meeting, the Board of Aldermen discussed the use of social networking website Facebook to post the names of individuals who owe money to the city. Municipal Clerk Debora Jackson said this would apply to inactive accounts, which current-
ly have debts totaling $24,905. The board decided the clerk should set it up and let them see how it will appear before proceeding. Comments on the page would likely be disabled. Farmington officials said Forrest County and Hattiesburg have taken similar action with positive results. The information is a matter of public record because it involves a debt owed to the city, said Jackson. Even if the person does not see it posted on the web, someone
the individual knows probably will, she said. In other business: â– The board received the fiscal 2013 budget request from the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter. The organization is seeking an increase from $3,000 to $5,000 from Farmington, as well as a substantial increase from Alcorn County to help cover labor costs that have risen because of a decrease in the availability of inmate labor. â– The board adopted a resolu-

City seeks $4 million grant for drainage improvements BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The City of Corinth has applied for a large grant that would create water detention areas in two of the city’s major drainage basins. In June, the city submitted an application to the Economic Development Administration for a $5.1 million project that would detain water in the Tishomingo Street-Polk Street basin and the Hickory Road-Oak Lane basin. The city seeks $4,110,624
— a grant of rare scale in today’s climate of decreasing grant opportunities. The Board of Aldermen recently committed to a 20 percent match of $1,022,656 if the grant is approved. The two drainage basins contribute to the water carried by Elam Creek and Phillips Creek. For the Tishomingo StreetPolk Street basin, which includes approximately 435 acres of residential and business structures, a major part of the project is a proposed 7-acre
detention pond near Linden Street, Fulton Drive and the Kansas City Southern Railroad. The detention pond would be designed to accommodate increased water flow and reduce the peak flow out of the system, reducing the flooding threat to businesses downstream. The basin would also see installation of new box culverts along with improved ditch and channel areas. The Hickory Road-Oak Lane basin consists of 215
Minister to perform in concert BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The public is invited to a night of free inspirational music at KC’s Espresso in downtown Corinth. Beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday, the concert will feature the music of Sonia Lovelace, the music minister of Corinth’s Word of Life Church. Described as a talented and anointed singer of contemporary Southern Gospel, Lovelace recorded the album “Get Up” in 2004. Titles of the songs on the album include “Get Up,” “He’s An On Time God,” “Through the Fire,” “Alabastor Box,” “Call on Jesus,” and “Days of Elijah.” Lovelace attended World Harvest Bible Col-
lege, which is now known as Valor Christian College. She is an ordained minister through the World Harvest Ministerial Alliance. In addition to leading the congregation through song as the music minister of Word of Life Church, she is also the business administrator for the church and co-paster — along with her husband, Pastor Heath Lovelace. As an ordained minister, Lovelace is involved in many facets of the ministry. Her passion is to see a revival sweep the nation — and she believes it starts in the heart of each individual. Lovelace is an avid traveler and enjoys ministering locally or abroad. Her interests include leading
worship services at women’s conferences and conventions, and ministering with her husband. The Lovelaces have three children: Dalton, Ashton and Preston. Copies of Lovelace’s album, “Get Up,” will be available for purchase at the coffeehouse. KC’s Espresso has been a staple of downtown Corinth since 2003, and was named “Best Cafe or Coffee Shop” by “Mississippi” magazine. It is located in a well-preserved downtown structure that housed a bank in the early 20th century and a pharmacy for many years afterward.

Corinth native receives top BSA award for service to youth Special to the Daily Corinthian
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Boy Scouts of America recognized 11 top volunteers with the organization’s highest commendation, the Silver Buffalo Award, during the BSA’s National Annual Meeting here on June 1. The award has been given out annually since 1926 to civic-minded men and women for their contributions and service to youth. The Silver Buffalo is awarded to individuals who give noteworthy and extraordinary service to youth. The service must be national in scope and can be independent of, or directly through, the Boy Scouts of America. Candidates for this award must be nominated based on a significant period of national service to a youth agency or in actions affecting youth. Candidates are not required to be registered members of the BSA to receive the award. Allen D. Brown, a native of Corinth and a member of the board of directors for the Sam Houston Area
Council, received this national highest honor for a volunteer. “Allen has served Scouting on all levels whether it be leading high adventure trips, teaching at Philmont Scout Ranch or most recently, serving on the planning committee for the 2013 National Scout Jamboree opening at the new Bechtel Summit camp in West Virginia,” said David M. Weekley, BSA Southern region president In 2011, Brown participated on the international level of Scouting as the national chairman of the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden. Locally, he serves on the executive committee overseeing the Learning for Life program for the Council. Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the worldwide Scouting movement, received the first Silver Buffalo Award. Other notable recipients include 14 U.S. presidents, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, ExxonMobil Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rex W. Tillerson, racecar driver
Jeff Gordon, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell. In its 87-year history, only 705 awards have been awarded. “The outstanding men and women being honored represent millions of volunteers who tirelessly give of themselves to invest in our future,” said Bob Mazzuca, chief Scout executive. “The Silver Buffalo Award recognizes the immeasurable impact each has made on generations of young people.” The Boy Scouts of America provides the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training, which helps young people be “Prepared. For Life” The Scouting organization is composed of 2.7 million youth members between the ages of 7 and 21 and more than a million volunteers in local councils throughout the United States and its territories.

acres of residential and business property. In this area, the city proposes a combination of increased pipe and box culvert installation, improved ditch and channel areas and the installation of an upstream detention basin to slow water flow through the basin. A key part of the project in this basin would be water detention in the Hickory Road area where there is a stretch of split parallel roadway. “The area between those two roads is public

Cities/counties should have ‘home rule’
Rather than tie up the Mississippi Legislature with “local and private” pieces of legislation, lawmakers should give the state’s cities and counties “home rule,” or the authority to govern themselves. During this year’s session, the Local and Private Legislation Committee in the House of Representatives considered 95 bills. By the end of the session, 34 had died in committee and 61 had been approved. But based on whatt standard? A few years ago, Jackson County was denied its request to build a new jail outside the county seat. This year, Coahoma County was given approval to build a jail “anywhere” in the county. Law enforcement in Rankin County were denied a request to use radar on county roads, but law enforcement in Lauderdale County won approval to pay for a chaplaincy program at the county’s detention facility with money from the inmate phone service. Taxes are always a gamble with legislators. They liked the idea of Tishomingo County imposing a tax on restaurants to promote tourism, but killed a motel, hotel and restaurant request by the city of Ellisville. There should be more rhyme and reason to the creation of public policy and fewer inconsistencies in local governance. The best place to determine what’s best for a city or county is at city hall or the county courthouse, not the state Capitol. The Legislature should not be the place to decide if the city of Oxford operates a farmers market. Yet it was in the House of Representatives on May 3 that the idea for an Oxford market died in committee. —The Sun Herald, Biloxi
U.S. population 100 million times pi If you remember anything about high school math classes, an interesting thing happened at 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 14: The Census Bureau said the estimated population of the United States reached 314,159,265. That is 100 million times pi, the mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Math students have plenty of experience with its approximation, 3.14. The Census Bureau, to its credit, had a little fun with what was really a non-news event. Its chief demographer issued a statement encouraging people to “go out and celebrate this American pi,” and saying the event was “very meaningful to mathematical statisticians.” Perhaps the statisticians can share the joy by giving math students some pointers on how to use pi correctly when they do their homework. — The Greenwood Commonwealth
Prayer for today God of our joy, we thank you for the joy we find when we walk with you in trust and obedience. Amen.
A verse to share The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let everyone who hears say “Come.” And let everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift. — Revelation 22:17 (NRSV)

No mistaking choices in 2012 election With the addition of Congressman Paul Ryan to the Republican presidential ticket the bright red and blue line of difference between the Republicans and Democrats became big enough and wide enough to trip over. There will be no mistaking the choices available in this election. Since the beginning of the Republican primaries names have been dropped and concepts forwarded that serve as means of revealing the gut-level philosophies and ideologies embraced by the two sets of candidates. With the political party conventions upon us the frequency of hearing these names and concepts will only increase. The addition of Congressman Ryan to the Republican ticket brought with it the many years of devotion to the philosophy of Russian novelist and atheist Ayn Rand. This is easily contrasted with the bedrock ideologies of Saul Alinsky, the ultimate thinker for community organizers. The contrast between Rand and Alinsky could not be starker. Rand’s philosophy of “Objectivism” entails a comprehensive prescription for rational self-interest. She would hold that society is best served by an “every person for themselves” philosophy. Rand had no sympathy for the weaklings or for those who professed benevolence toward them. Saul Alinsky made a study of the power of communal
action. He constantly developed strategies for collective action at the grassroots Marty and in so Wiseman doing often stretched Stennis the boundInstitute aries of the Constitution and free speech to their limits. Alinsky’s ideas of collectivist action are indeed evident in the work of President Obama during his days as a community organizer in Chicago. This same condition of polar opposition in viewpoints appears in the economic ideologies of the respective Democratic and Republican tickets. President Obama and the Democrats clearly embrace the economic philosophy of John Maynard Keynes. Keynes advocated a role for government in manipulating the economic conditions within an environment of otherwise free market capitalism. For example, according to Keynesian thinkers, government is correct in giving a helping hand through stimulus and other strategies when the market falters. The Republicans embrace the ideas of Frederich von Hayek and others of the highly conservative Austrian School of economists in their advocacy of the absolutely unhindered sanctity of the free market. According to this approach, it is
the market that determines “winners” and “losers,” and any role played by government can only be an impediment to the maximum effectiveness of the free market. In the cases of the economic policies of both the Democrats and Republicans it is easy to see that these are extensions of the Alinsky and Rand social philosophies. An equally stark contrast may be drawn in the area of religion. Republican nominee Mitt Romney is a devout Mormon. One need only spend a few moments reading the writings of Mormon founders and principal theologians Joseph Smith and Brigham Young to realize this is a body of ethical and theological thinking that is quite different from what many in the Protestant and Catholic worlds are familiar. In fact, many of such persuasions in the past have labeled Mormonism as a cult. A similar assessment can be made for the strain of Liberation Theology as preached by President Obama’s longtime minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Liberation theology advocates a vigorous approach in seeking social and economic justice. Historically, Liberation Theology has been associated with lower income populations determined to struggle as a group up the ladder of social and economic well-being. In the name of accuracy, it
should be pointed out Paul Ryan has disavowed his earlier admiration of Ayn Rand as he has discovered the depths of her atheism. Likewise, Barack Obama repudiated the harsh antiAmerican statements made by Rev. Wright. The point remains, however, this election is one of deep and clear choices. On the surface it is a contest between a philosophy of absolute freedom of the individual to rise or fall on his/ her own efforts and innovativeness, and a philosophy of success or failure of the broader community. In the former case, government cannot help, and thus should be afforded as small a role as possible, while in the latter approach government may accomplish things that will enhance the accessibility to a better life for the larger collective or community. Perhaps never before have the “individual” and the “community” been so clearly pitted against each other in an “either/or” contest. The political conventions are upon us. Listen to the speeches and sort through the rhetoric. Less than 70 days remain to decide who is correct in the eyes of the voters. (Daily Corinthian columnist Dr. W.

Needing ‘red meat’ in war on terrorism BY WILLIAM A. COLLINS Terror makes A good excuse For passing laws That despots choose. The terrorist menace is proving quite useful to the U.S. government, much as the communist menace did many years ago. What could be more convenient than tagging dissenters and opponents as “giving material aid to terrorists?” There’s even a anti-terrorism law now that discourages such “heinous” acts as helping educate Palestinian children. Peace activists make a particularly appealing target. Since most of our wars these days supposedly combat terrorism, detaining those who oppose such wars seems reasonable enough. They must be supporting the enemy. It’s a pretty clever game. The cops can just go ahead and confiscate the peaceniks’ cell phones and laptops and jail them for a

day. Most folks won’t notice or care. The newest members of the “terrorist” family are activists who document animal abuse at labs, factory farms and slaughterhouses. In response, information on animal mistreatment by farms or corporations is now classified as “secret,” and divulging that information is treated as a serious offense. Also officially secret nowadays is the mistreatment of the suspects at Guantánamo. During their trials, detainees aren’t allowed to say they were previously tortured since that might color the proceedings and bring shame to our government. Trial observers, while allowed to watch the action from behind soundproof glass, only hear what’s happening after a 40-second delay. This gives time to censor embarrassing details before they drift into the media or blogosphere.
But there’s a limit to how much public fear can be stoked by the continued arrests of peaceniks, animal rights activists and Palestinian charity organizers. Sooner or later, if citizens are going to support further wars and impingements on their own civil liberties, they need red meat. This is the FBI’s job. It tries to keep up a drumbeat of foiled terrorist plots to demonstrate the constant danger to our airplanes, subways and public squares. Otherwise, Congress might chafe at imposing still more limitations on our personal freedoms. Not to mention a reduction in the public perception of danger could be followed by a reduction in the FBI’s budget. Hence, we witness a steady parade of alleged underwear bombers, shoe bombers, car bombers, dirty bombers, Jihad Janers and other miscellaneous prospective murderers — many

of whom, curiously, seem to have been egged on and supported by the FBI until their arrests. The media, starving for excitement, reports these stories to the hilt. One poisonous result of this manufactured anxiety landed in the National Defense Authorization Act. Besides authorizing massive military waste, this legislation empowered our own armed forces to arrest Americans, even on U.S. soil, for almost anything and to hold them without charge. A federal judge has temporarily intervened but the tension between counterterrorism and constitutional protections looks like it’s shaping up as one of America’s next big civil rights battles.

State Ladners to plead guilty in federal fraud case GULFPORT (AP) — Federal court records show former Hancock County Road Manager Roger Ladner and his relatives were scheduled to plead guilty to charges related to an alleged kickback scheme related to Hurricane Katrina cleanup contracts. Ladner and his wife, Sharon, were to appear together Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Halil S. Ozerden in Gulfport. Ladner’s two brothers — Billy Wayne Ladner and Donald Ray Ladner — were to make separate appearances before the judge. Prosecutors say the scheme involved cleanup contracts alleged awarded to the then-road manager’s close relatives in the wake of the 2005 hurricane.
MSU scholar Polk dies STARKVILLE (AP) — Literary scholar Noel Polk, whose work focused on the writings of William Faulker, Eudora Welty and other Southern authors, has died at the age of 69.
The announcement of Polk’s death came Tuesday from Mississippi State University. The cause of death was not released. Polk, a professor of English at MSU and editor of The Mississippi Quarterly, taught at the University of Southern Mississippi from 1977 to 2004. He has given lectures throughout the world on Mississippi writers William Faulkner and Eudora Welty. In 2006, Polk won the Richard Wright Literary Excellence Award for his body of work. Funeral arrangements are pending.
Tuesday that the enhancement grant for the nearly three-mile trail between Central and Snowden Grove parks will be awarded so that construction can begin. State officials had frozen the funds in January. Auditor Stacey Pickering appeared before aldermen Aug. 7 to reimburse the city $96,000 collected from Davis and said he would garnish Davis’s paycheck and file civil suit to recover about another $73,000 still owed the city by the mayor. A court hearing is scheduled in Jackson Thursday on the matter.

BILOXI (AP) — The Biloxi City Council says the White House Hotel should be repaired or demolished. Councilman George Lawrence tells The Sun Herald on Tuesday he would vote to force repairs of the hotel on U.S. 90, which has sat vacant for more than 20 years, but not for demolition.
Jerry Creel, community development director, says he recommended the city direct owner Jay Love to enclose the west side of the building, which now is a skeleton of beams, give the rest of the building a facelift and improve the grounds. A deadline for action wasn’t imposed. If he fails to act, the city can have the building repaired or demolished. Creel said he got estimates for demolition of $234,000 and $588,000.

Authorities said neighbors reported seeing the girl drive away from the home minutes before her stepbrother returned and found his mother’s body. The girl was arrested in Greenville six days later. Patrick’s decision came Monday after he heard what he called inconclusive testimony from an expert witness, who had earlier examined the teenager. “I don’t have the confidence to proceed as is,” Patrick said. Dr. Billy Fox of Clinton testified Monday that he examined the girl four times in March and May but could not determine how well she could participate in her own defense. Getting the girl to talk about her defense has been difficult, said attorney Marshal Sanders. “In my mind and in my experience, there is a serious problem trying to communicate with Miss Vega,” Sanders said. District Attorney Ricky Smith argued that the burden of incompetence lies on the defense and that Fox’s testimony failed
to prove Vega was incompetent. “After an hour and a half, I still have no clue what the opinion of Dr. Fox is,” Smith said.
BancorpSouth Arena could get a new look TUPELO (AP) — The BancorpSouth Arena in Tupelo could get a new look just in time for its 20th anniversary next year. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that the local coliseum commission approved a budget that would pay $1.8 million to resurface the building’s exterior and freshen up the interior paint. The building would retain its exterior insulation finishing system but would include a new color scheme to include shades of tan and burgundy and a limestone finish. The city will have final say on the plan. The proposed facelift would take six months to complete and would be finished by the building’s anniversary in October 2013.

the birds. The next day, they sold the birds to at least three pet shops. The canaries are valued at $30 each, which means the thefts were worth about $15,000 in all. Police on Wednesday
asked the public for help in identifying the suspects. Authorities say images of the suspects selling the birds were captured by video surveillance cameras. Police were able to recover about 150 birds.

Investigators looking into train derailment ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP) — Investigators were checking videos, track conditions and maintenance records Wednesday to find the cause of a deadly train derailment in Maryland and figure out if two young women sitting on a railroad bridge over the town’s main street contributed to the crash or if their presence was just a tragic coincidence. So far, investigators have determined the emergency brakes were applied automatically — not by the three-man crew — on Monday around midnight, but they don’t know why the train jumped the tracks. It could be weeks before they know anything definitive. Tweets and photos from the two 19-year-old college students chronicled some of their final moments together as they enjoyed a summer night together before they were to headed back to school. “Drinking on top of the Ellicott City sign,” read one tweet. “Looking down on old ec,” read another. Accompanying photos showed their view from the bridge and their bare feet, one with painted blue toenails, dangling over the edge. “Levitating,” read the tweet. The women were sitting on the edge of the bridge with their backs to the tracks as the train passed a few feet behind them, Howard County
police said, and their bodies were found buried under coal dumped from the train cars. Authorities said they needed to do autopsies before their cause of death could be determined. The victims were identified as Elizabeth Conway Nass, a student at James Madison University in central Virginia and Rose Louese Mayr, a nursing student at the University of Delaware. The railroad is easily accessed from the picturesque downtown of Ellicott City, which is about 15 miles west of Baltimore, and generations of young people have played and partied along the tracks. The railroad was completed in 1830 and crosses over Main Street in the city’s historic district, following the route of the nation’s first commercial railroad, according to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum. “We grew up running on those tracks,” said Ellicott City native Bridgette Hammond, 25. “It’s actually really beautiful up there.” Nass and Mayr were graduates of Mt. Hebron High School in Ellicott City, where they were on the dance team, and planned to finish college in 2014, according to friends and their Facebook pages.
Mars rover Curiosity prepares for test drive LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Scientists prepared to send Curiosity on its first test drive Wednesday over the billion-year-old rocks of Mars and said a busted wind sensor wouldn’t jeopardize its mission of determining whether life could exist there. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., turned four of the rover’s six wheels in place this week in a successful “wheel wiggle” to test the steering for the short trek, mission manager Mike Watkins said. The rover will move forward about 10 feet, turn right, then back up and park slightly to the left of its old spot, Watkins said. “You will definitely see tracks,” he said. The test drive is part of a health checkup the rover has been undergoing since arriving on Aug. 5. Eventually, the rover could roam hundreds of feet a day over the ancient crater where it landed. Meanwhile, researchers discovered the damaged wind sensor while checking out instruments that Curiosity will use to check the Martian weather and soil. The cause of the damage wasn’t known, but one possibility is that pebbles thrown up by Curiosity’s descent fell onto the sensor’s delicate, exposed circuit boards and broke some wires, said Ashwin Vasavada, deputy project scientist for Curiosity.
Candidates spar on health care, education and taxes BY JULIE PACE Associated Press
MIDLAND, Texas — Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are seeking to call President Barack Obama to account on several fronts, going after his stands on health care, taxes and the debt as the GOP ticket looks to build momentum heading into the party’s convention. Obama, meanwhile, readied for a second straight day of criticism on the GOP ticket’s proposals on education, an issue that resonates with middleclass voters. Romney and Ryan, campaigning separately Wednesday, were to level their criticism of Obama in three key battleground states: Romney was campaigning in Iowa, while Ryan had stops planned in Virginia and North Carolina. The campaign was also hitting the airwaves with a new television advertisement linking Obama’s divisive health care overhaul
to cuts in Medicare. The ad, titled “Nothing’s Free,” asserts that Obama raided $716 billion from Medicare in order to pay for his health care law. It’s the first ad Romney’s campaign has run focusing on health care since the Supreme Court upheld Obama’s federal mandate in June. And it comes as the Republican ticket seeks to gain the upper hand on Medicare amid charges that Ryan’s austere budget proposals would drastically change the popular federal benefit for seniors. Romney has promised to roll back the Medicare spending cuts approved under Obama, while Ryan kept the cuts in his budget proposals. The campaign did not say where the health care ad would run. Romney was flying Wednesday morning from Texas, where he held campaign fundraisers Tuesday, to Iowa.

ern state, he planned to focus on the increases in the nation’s debt during Obama’s term. Ryan, less than two weeks into his new role as GOP running mate, was focusing Wednesday on tax overhaul. The GOP campaign says Obama’s calls for letting George W. Bushera tax cuts on people earning more than $200,000 a year expire at the end of the year would hurt small businesses because many file as individuals. Obama was campaigning Wednesday in Nevada, one of the states hit hardest by the nation’s economic slowdown. The president planned to meet with teachers at a Las Vegas high school and promote his administration’s plans to make higher education more affordable before speaking at a larger event at the school. Campaigning in Ohio Tuesday, Obama accused Romney of being oblivious to the burdens of paying for college. The president’s campaign sees education as another avenue for linking Romney to Ryan’s budget, which calls for $115 billion in cuts to the Education Department. In a new ad released Wednesday, the Obama campaign suggests Ryan’s education cuts would lead to larger class sizes. A couple featured in the ad bemoans the prospect of increased class size and says Romney “cannot relate” to their desire to have the best public education system for their children. The ad is running in Virginia and Ohio.

New home sales Homebuilders have mostly enjoyed improved sales trends this year, even if in fits and starts. The pace of new home sales hit a two-year high in May at 382,000, but tumbled 8.4 percent in June. Figures for July, out today, are expected to show an increase from June. That would bode well for the budding housing recovery. Still, the turnaround could stumble if economic growth and employment stay weak.

per year, giving it a solid 3.2 percent dividend yield at its Wednesday closing price of $112.15. The price has been hovering near the all-time high of $112.28 it reached earlier this year. But that doesn’t mean the stock is overpriced. It has a modest price-to-earnings ratio of 8.3, and Morningstar pegs its fair value at $125. Lower oil prices in a slowing world economy pushed Chevron’s second-quarter net income down 7 percent. Earnings from oil its drilling and production business declined 18 percent, but profits grew from Chevron’s refineries, which paid less for oil while selling gasoline at higher prices on the West Coast. Diversified production also helps Chevron. The company has a more balanced mix of crude oil and liquefied natural gas products than rivals Shell and Exxon Mobil, Peters says.
Like other oil companies, Chevron (CVX) is finding it harder to discover sources of petroleum. It has spent more than $20 billion a year since 2007 in the global hunt. But it clearly has no problem delivering for investors. Chevron has raised its quarterly dividend three times, by a total of 25 percent, since the start of last year. It is in its 100th straight year making dividend payments and raises the payout almost every year. It even raised the dividend in 2008, when many companies held back. “In a world where the economy and the price of oil are so uncertain, those increases really speak to a lot of confidence in the long-term future of their production,� says Josh Peters, editor of the Morningstar newsletter DividendInvestor. Chevron pays $3.60 per share

Michaels Stores 2Q
Autodesk’s 2Q
Arts and crafts retailer Michaels Stores reports second-quarter results today. The privately held chain, which also owns Aaron Brothers stores, has seen demand for its products improve this year. Revenue at the company’s stores open at least a year increased 1.5 percent in the February-to-April quarter. The metric is a key measure of a retailer’s health, because it excludes revenue from stores that opened or closed during the year.
The latest quarterly report from Autodesk is expected to show the software company beat its sales benchmark from a year ago. Wall Street also anticipates Autodesk’s earnings, stripping out one-time items, will show improvement from the May-to-July period last year. Autodesk reports fiscal second-quarter results today.

MSU fights to rise in loaded SEC The Associated Press
STARKVILLE — Dan Mullen has managed to build a good football program during his four years at Mississippi State. The problem for Mullen and the Bulldogs, in the Southeastern Conference’s Western Division, good isn’t good enough. Mullen takes a glass-halffull look at the program’s current predicament, saying the program is closer than ever to challenging Alabama, LSU, Arkansas and Auburn for the division crown. “We’re not far off from there, which means we’re not far off from the national title,” Mullen said. “As you’re developing, as you’re building the program, the confidence that
comes in our guys, I think they see that.” The Bulldogs have undoubtedly improved during Mullen’s tenure, but haven’t been able to make much headway within the SEC, which is home to the past six national champions. Mississippi State has a 3-12 record against its division, with all three wins coming against in-state rival Ole Miss. Junior Tyler Russell takes over at quarterback after a part-time role last season. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Russell threw for 1,034 yards, eight touchdowns and four interceptions in 2011, and his presence under center will mark a stark contrast from last year’s starter Chris Relf, who was an accomplished runner but in-
consistent passer. Mullen said Russell’s strengths should make Mississippi State more proficient in the passing game. “We will tweak,” Mullen said. “I think every year, you take your playbook, you take what you have in your playbook, and you’re not going to use 100 percent of it. You have to take whatever percentage, 60, 75, 80, whatever, fits that year’s team.” Russell said he feels ready to take on the added responsibility, but was confident he wouldn’t be shouldered with too much of the burden. “If you look across the board on offense, you’ve got four or five running backs who can tote it,” Russell said. “All of them can play. You’ve
got receivers — plenty of seniors and then some other guys who have experience. And the offensive line, we’ve got a lot. They did great in the spring and have picked up right where they left off.” LaDarius Perkins steps into the starting role at running back after two years behind Vick Ballard. Perkins is generously listed at 5-10 and 190 pounds, and it remains to be seen whether his body can manage the physical burden demanded of a full-time SEC back. He rushed for 422 yards and two touchdowns last season and also caught 13 passes for 59 yards and two touchdowns. Perkins bristles Please see MSU | 9

BOONEVILLE — Anthony Branch is a Devil of a Rebel. The 2012 Booneville High School graduate recently signed to run track at the University of Mississippi in Oxford.
The multiple state champion is believed to be the first member of the Blue Devil track program to sign with a Division I institution. “Anthony was not only a great athlete to get to coach, but also a great person to be around,” said Booneville
coach Brian Windham. “I know he will have great success running for the Rebels and I wish him the best.” Branch won the Class 3A championship in the 100and 200-meter dashes at the 2012 Mississippi High School Activities Association’s State
Track Meet. He also was a member of the 800 relay team that earned a second-place finish last season. In 2011, Branch ran on the 4x200 relay team that garnered a third-place finish at the State Meet.
Braves regroup for first road game BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com
IUKA — The Tishomingo County Braves kicked off the season with a 25-14 loss to Byhalia last Friday, but being 0-1 hasn’t hurt their focus according to head coach Lanny Jones. Jones’ team is preparing for their second game of the season, and its first away match, as it travels the 15 miles down Highway 72 to Alcorn Central. The team is keeping the same motto that it has had
during the spring and summer, Jones said. “We just have to get better at what we do. We feel like if we do that we’ll be all right against any opponent,” Jones said. On Tuesday afternoon, the team focused on learning new elements of its playbook as well as defensive adjustments to what the coaching staff expect to see from Alcorn Central. “We are making sure we cover formations, what hap-
pens out of formations,” Jones said. Also a part of practice for the week -- covering and recovering the basics such as blocking and footwork following a viewing of the Friday night contest against Byhalia. “We didn’t block well at second level,” Jones said. “Not a lot of linebackers filling windows. When we saw them we filled them late and it cost us.” The Braves are also keeping mental attitude and tough-
ness as part of their practice -- their team motto coming into play again, Jones said. The highlight of practice for Jones has been his linemen, including the seven seniors on the offensive line. What will Jones expect from Central on Friday? “I just want to see us compete. Alcorn Central is going to come out competing hard, and we’ve got to match their intensity,” Jones said, Kickoff is set for 7:30 Friday night at Alcorn Central.

MLB suspends Colon for 50 games The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Make it two 50-game suspensions in exactly one week — both starters for contending teams from the Bay Area, both for testosterone. Former Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon of the Oakland Athletics was suspended for 50 games Wednesday after a positive test, joining San Francisco Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera on the suspended list for the rest of the regular season. Major League Baseball made the announcement of Colon’s penalty a week after All-Star game MVP Cabrera received his 50-game suspension “I apologize to the fans,
to my teammates and to the Oakland A’s,” Colon said in a statement released by the players’ association. “I accept responsibility for my actions and I will serve my suspension as required by the joint drug program.” He will miss the final 40 games of the regular season and the first 10 games of the postseason if Oakland advances that far. Any remainder of the suspension would be served in a future season, if Colon signs another major league contract. “It’s a shock,” Oakland reliever Grant Balfour said. “He’s a guy that we’re definitely relying on right now. I guess you could say it’s bad timing any time, but especial-
ly now.” Oakland, which hasn’t made the playoffs since 2006, began Wednesday a halfgame out in the AL wild-card race. The A’s were preparing for an afternoon series finale against Minnesota when they got the news from clubhouse televisions. A closed-door team meeting was called. “The Oakland Athletics are disappointed to learn of today’s suspension,” the team said in a statement. General manager Billy Beane received word from MLB earlier Wednesday and began searching for a starter to take Colon’s turn in the rotation Thursday at Tampa Bay. Tyson Ross will be called up from Triple-A Sacramento.
Beane addressed the A’s in the clubhouse before the team took the field for pregame warmups. “Listen, it’s disappointing. From a baseball standpoint, we’re scrambling,” Beane said. “We’re all disappointed, not just for the Giants and the A’s, but for baseball.” The 39-year-old Colon is 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA in 24 starts this season, his first with the A’s, and has a 171122 record in 15 big league seasons. A two-time All-Star, the burly right-hander won the 2005 AL Cy Young Award after going 21-8 for the Los Angeles Angels. Colon will lose the remainPlease see COLON | 9

ing $469,945 of his $2 million base salary this year. He also has earned $750,000 in performance bonuses based on starts and $150,000 based on innings, which are not impacted. Thursday’s start would have earned him another $250,000, and the suspension will cost him the chance to make $850,000 in additional bonuses based on innings. Manager Bob Melvin hadn’t spoken to Colon as of late morning Wednesday. “It is what it is. We certainly don’t support the actions, but you have to move forward,� Melvin said. “You go through things over the course of the season. This is just one of them. ... You have to have a short memory.� Five players have been suspended this year under the big league drug program. San Francisco reliever Guillermo Mota was penalized 100 games in May following his second positive test and is eligible to return Aug. 28.

when asked about how his smaller frame will hold up over a full season. Nick Griffin and Josh Robinson are also options at running back. “I feel like I can get the job done,� Perkins said. “I’m in top-notch shape, I’m more experienced and I’ve played in a lot of bigtime games.� Mississippi State’s veteran receivers will finally get a chance to stand out thanks to Russell’s emergence. Seniors Chris
Smith, Arceto Clark and Chad Bumphis all caught at least 25 passes last season, and figure to play a more prominent role in the revamped offense. Mississippi State’s defense has several returners, including defensive tackle Josh Boyd, linebacker Cameron Lawrence and cornerbacks Johnthan Banks and Corey Broomfield. Boyd teamed with firstround NFL draft pick Fletcher Cox to dominate the interior defensive line last season. Now that Cox
is with the Philadelphia Eagles, the focus is on the 6-foot-3, 300-pound Boyd, who made 51 tackles last season, including 8 1/2 for a loss and 4 1/2 sacks in 2011. Lawrence was one of the SEC’s most productive defensive players last season, ranking second in the league with 123 tackles. Banks and Broomfield anchor a seasoned secondary. The 6-2, 185-pound Banks led the Bulldogs with five interceptions last year. Mississippi State is
Ex-PSU president disputes abuse report news conference. Spanier did not attend. But he told media outlets in stories published hours later that he never understood the early complaints about Sandusky, who this year
was convicted of molesting 10 boys, to be sexual. Spanier told ABC that he was told only that Sandusky had been seen engaging in “horseplay� in a campus shower with a boy.

The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Ousted Penn State president Graham Spanier and his lawyers attacked a university-backed report on the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal on Wednesday, calling it a “blundering and indefensible indictment� as they fired a pre-emptive strike while waiting to hear if he’ll be charged in the case. Lawyer Timothy Lewis called Louis Freeh, the former FBI director and federal judge behind the report, a “biased investigator� who piled speculation on top of innuendo to accuse Spanier in a cover-up of early abuse complaints. “The Freeh report, as it pertains to Dr. Spanier, is a myth. And that myth ... ends today,� Lewis said at a downtown Philadelphia

Short Hops In kindergarten classes across the U.S., impressionable students are reminded that “cheaters never win” and “cheaters never prosper.” But in baseball, cheaters do prosper. And so do their agents. The recent positive test of San Francisco’s Melky Cabrera for banned PEDs reminds us that the game is not completely clean. And it never will be. But I applaud MLB for fighting the good fight to keep PEDs under control. I believe far less than half of the players in the major leagues are currently cheating. But the game will never be perfect. Why do players continue to defy the system? Simple. Money, money, money. Cabrera, an AllStar this season and candidate for his first batting title, will forfeit about a third of his $6 million salary. As a free agent this winter, he was on track for a $70 million (or more) haul in the offseason. After being released by the Braves in 2010, it’s understandable how a player like Cabrera would take this risk. Another six weeks of evading positive tests, and he’s a rich, rich man. And so are his agents.
No Triples Defense
Miguel Cabrera, Detroit The Tigers continue to struggle in the AL Central (arguably the worst division in baseball), but Cabrera remains a force and is contending for MVP honors. Miggy had four multi-hit games in a row, batting .476 for the week with a 1.386 OPS and seven runs scored.
Hiroki Kuroda, New York With apologies to Felix Hernandez and his perfect game last week, Kuroda gets the nod for the award. He was nearly perfect twice. Last Tuesday, he tossed a two-hit shutout against the Rangers and followed that with eight innings allowing just one earned run vs. the rival Red Sox. For the week, he tossed 17 innings and gave up just six hits and two walks.
Jay Bruce, Cincinnati The Reds have certainly taken up the slack left in the lineup when Joey Votto was disabled due to knee surgery, and Bruce has been a huge part of that. Last week he had at least one hit and scored a run in every game. He batted .429 with three homers, seven extrabase hits and led the majors with nine runs.
Chad Billingsley, Los Angeles As the Dodgers continue to battle the Giants in the NL West, Billingsley gave the team two tremendous starts last week against two teams in the wild card race. The righthander pitched eight shutout innings at Pittsburgh on Tuesday, then followed that with seven scoreless at Atlanta. He allowed just eight hits and three walks in 15 frames.
Robert Stephenson, Cincinnati A first-round pick in 2011, Stephenson made seven starts at the Rookie League level before being promoted to Single-A Dayton, where he has made five starts. Combined, he’s thrown 53.2 innings and given up 34 hits with 62 Ks.
Bubba Starling, Kansas City The fifth pick overall in 2011 got his first taste of pro ball this summer. In 44 games in rookie ball, he’s batting .279 with a .369 on-base percentage and .506 slugging.
Aug. 19, 1951 Showman Bill Veeck makes headlines in St. Louis when he sends Eddie Gaedel — listed at 3'7", 65 — to pinch hit for right fielder Frank Saucier in the bottom of the first inning against Detroit. Wearing number 1/8 for the Browns, Gaedel walks on four pitches and is removed for pinch-runner Jim Delsing.
Aug. 22, 1965 During the final game of a Dodgers-Giants series at Candlestick Park, San Francisco pitcher Juan Marichal attacks Los Angeles catcher John Roseboro with a bat. Apparently believing the catcher was making return throws to pitcher Sandy Koufax too close to his head, Marichal turns on the catcher. Roseboro’s head is cut, but he isn’t seriously injured. Marichal is suspended and fined $1,750.
David Price
Atlanta at San Francisco At least one of these teams (if not both) should be playing in the postseason this year. The Giants trail the Braves by four games for the first wild card and are just one game behind the Pirates for the other spot. But they have their sights set on the NL West where they trail the Dodgers by a half game after last weekend. The series begins on Thursday, and Friday night is Reclamation Night as Ryan Vogelsong of the Giants will face Ben Sheets of the Braves. Two rising lefthanded aces — Mike Minor and Madison Bumgarner — will pitch Saturday.
St. Louis at Cincinnati The Cardinals may be conceding the NL Central to the rival Reds, but St. Louis remains in the heat of the wild card race. The Reds swept St. Louis coming out the break and would like to repeat that this weekend. Cincinnati ace Johnny Cueto is scheduled to face Philadelphia the day before the series.
Oakland at Tampa Bay Courtesy of an unusual scheduling quirk, this series will be played on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with both teams getting Sunday off. Tampa Bay took two of three at Oakland about a month ago, so the A’s are out for revenge. Tampa Bay ace David Price will miss the series, but Matt Moore, who has been hot for the past month, will oppose the young Jarrod Parker on Saturday.

Worst Free Agent Signings Ever Wayne Garland, Cleveland, 1977 The Indians were determined to make a splash in the first year of free agency. The appeal of Garland was his recent 20-7, 2.67 season in Baltimore. Perhaps they didn’t notice he had just 33 career starts. The 10-year, $2.3 million deal gave the Tribe a 13-19 record in 1977 and a 15-29 mark over the next four seasons, then retirement and five years of the contract to eat. Dave Goltz, L.A. Dodgers, 1977 The Dodgers thought Goltz would bolster their rotation and gave him a six-year contract worth upwards of $2.5 million. He was waived in April of 1979. Mark Davis, Kansas City, 1990 Davis’ huge 44-save season in 1989 and Cy Young award for San Diego was just too enticing for the Royals. Never mind he had just two seasons with more than seven saves at that point. It took only 15 appearances in 1990 to lose the closer’s job for good. His tenure in K.C. began with five saves, four blown saves and a 7.24 ERA, with 11 walks in 13.2 innings. Carl Pavano, N.Y. Yankees, 2005 Proof that the Yankees can withstand bad contracts is that Pavano made $39.9 million over four years, but made just 26 starts for the Yankees, finishing with a 9-8 record and 5.00 ERA. Adding to the pain is that in 2009, he made 33 starts for Cleveland and Minnesota combined and won 14 games, while earning just $1.5 million. Carlos Silva, Seattle, 2008 In 2008, $12 million per season was the going rate for a No. 2 starter. Apparently that was what the Mariners thought they were getting with their four-year, $48 million investment. But in four seasons as a full-time starter with Minnesota, Silva was 47-45 while the Twins were 52 games better than .500. The M’s found out the hard way that he wasn’t a No. 2 starter after all, going 5-18 in two seasons prior to his trade to the Cubs for Milton Bradley, perhaps an even bigger problem.

Carlos Silva (left) was a mediocre pitcher prior to signing with Seattle. Wayne Garland had one outstanding season on his résumé as a member of the first-ever full-fledged free agent class.
Jason Schmidt, L.A. Dodgers, 2007 The Dodgers grew tired of facing the Giants’ ace for five and a half seasons, so Los Angeles signed the supposedly durable righthander for three years and $47 million. After going 7837 for San Francisco, Schmidt mustered only 10 starts over three seasons with the Dodgers, finishing 3-6 with a 6.02 ERA. Edgar Renteria, Boston, 2005 After making the final out of the 2004 World Series, which gave the Red Sox their first championship since 1918, Renteria inked a fouryear, $36 million deal with Boston. That was the going rate for top shortstops. After a season of uninspired play, which gnawed at fans and management, the Red Sox paid the Braves to take on the final three years of his deal in exchange for Andy Marte. Barry Zito, San Francisco, 2007 He won a Cy Young with Oakland at age 24, but in his first five seasons with San Francisco he’s yet to have a winning season. Zito signed a sevenyear, $126 million deal, but Bruce Bochy never called on him for any postseason appearances in 2010.
Jayson Werth, Washington, 2011 His name is Werth, not worth. Prior to signing a seven-year, $126 million deal with the Nationals, Werth had never hit .300, nor had he ever driven in 100. This came a year after Matt Holliday signed with St. Louis for seven years and $120 million. Chone Figgins, Seattle, 2010 The Mariners believed they were stealing the division title away from the Angels by taking their leadoff hitter Figgins. The thinking was that Figgins and Ichiro atop the Mariners’ lineup would put immense pressure on defenses. Turns out the pressure was on Figgins. He hit .259 and stole 42 bases his first season in Seattle. Since then, he’s hit .187 and been a non-factor on the bases. Joe Rudi, California, 1977 In a five-year, $2.09 million pact, the Angels paid for a .285 average and about 80 RBIs and 70 runs. They received a .249 average, about 60 RBIs and less than 50 runs. However, the club packaged Rudi prior to the final year of his contract in a deal with the Red Sox that brought the Angels Fred Lynn.
Larry Hisle, Milwaukee, 1978 Coming off a .302 average and a AL-leading 119 RBIs as a 30-year-old in 1977, Hisle appeared to be a plum signing for the Brewers, at six years, $3.155 million. Even after his first season in Milwaukee (.290-34-115) in which he finished third in MVP voting, the Brewers were thrilled. That’s where the joy ended. For the next four seasons, he totaled 79 games, 15 home runs and 46 RBIs. He played his final game in May of 1982 with almost two full years left on his deal. Bob Horner, St. Louis, 1988 After a year in Japan, the Cardinals believed that the long-time Brave could rekindle his offensive prowess in the States. Injuries, sub-par hitting and horrendous defense are the lasting memories in St. Louis. He hit three homers in 60 games. Richie Sexson, Seattle, 2005 His four-year, $50 million deal seemed a bit excessive at the time, but he provided good value in his first two seasons. Seattle released him midseason during the fourth year of the contract, eating about $8 million. Roger Clemens, N.Y. Yankees, 2007 Hoping for one last hurrah from their former ace, the Yankees committed more than $17 million to Clemens in May, knowing they would get less than 20 starts from him. Clemens didn’t provide a boost of any kind. The Yankees lost nine of his 17 starts, and he averaged less than six innings per start, so the bullpen was not spared. In his lone postseason foray in 2007, he lasted just 2.1 innings in a loss to Cleveland. Albert Belle, Baltimore, 1999 After a season with 108 runs, 117 RBIs and 101 walks, it appeared that the Orioles’ $60 million investment might work out. Then Belle’s body began to break down, and he suited up just one more season, although he was paid for four additional years after he unofficially retired.
Can you name the four players with 3,000 hits, 300 stolen bases and 250 home runs? (Hint: One just joined the club last week.)
Win-loss record for Justin Verlander when he faces the Baltimore Orioles. The record for the Pittsburgh Pirates in extra-inning games this season. After their 6-3 win over the Cardinals in 19 innings on Sunday, the Pirates are the only team that hasn’t lost in extra frames this season. Strikeouts in his first five career starts by the New York Mets’ Matt Harvey. It is the third-most in team history through five starts, surpassed only by Nolan Ryan (39) and Dwight Gooden (36). ERA for Johan Santana of the Mets since firing a no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 1. In 10 starts since then, he’s pitched 49 innings and given up 68 hits and 13 home runs. Opponents are batting .327. ERA for Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox since tossing a perfect game on April 21 at Seattle. The righthander has made 14 starts and five relief appearances since then, giving up 92 hits, 20 home runs and 38 walks in 81 innings. Humber is no longer in Chicago’s rotation. Win-loss record for Cincinnati Reds starter Johnny Cueto in day games this season. Ejections this season for Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, most in the majors.
TRIVIA ANSWER: Derek Jeter became the fourth member of the quartet, joining Willie Mays, Rickey Henderson and Craig Biggio.
Not that this really matters, but the AL East is not the place to be for a player aspiring to lead his league in triples. New York (11), Baltimore (12) and Boston (13) are the only three teams with fewer than 17 three-baggers this season. The Blue Jays have just 17 and Tampa Bay, with 21, is in a four-way tie for 17th in the majors. The NL West is where you want to be. Colorado, San Francisco and San Diego are the top three teams in triples so far this season.
Nationals Opponents are batting .210 with runners in scoring position. Reds Another weekend, another walk-off win for Cincinnati. Yankees Won nine of 12 and now visit Chicago and Cleveland. Rangers David Murphy has been team’s best hitter in second half. Braves Three sub-20,000 crowds last week during pennant race. Dodgers Holding opponents to a .185 average with bases loaded. Pirates 11 homers, 22 doubles in 12 games vs. St. Louis this season. Rays Matt Moore, David Price in 2nd half: 10-1, 1.53 ERA, 0.96 WHIP. Giants Can Giants overcome the loss of their offensive catalyst? A’s Grant Balfour has allowed 1 ER, 1 extra-base hit in July/Aug. White Sox Just one game above .500 in second half. Orioles Won 11 of 15 but can’t gain ground in AL East. Cardinals Only two home series losses since mid-June both to Pirates. Tigers Haven’t won a series outside their division in more than a month. Diamondbacks 14-16 when not playing the Astros in second half. Angels Crashing and burning with a 6.76 ERA in August. Red Sox 6-12 in August and fading fast. Mariners King Felix was perfect, but offense still not so hot. Blue Jays Struggling Jays batting just .217 in August. Phillies Seven games against best two teams in NL this week. Mets 11-24 since the break, only Houston is worse in NL. Marlins August batting avg.: Stanton & Reyes .313, rest of team .247. Royals Third place sounds nice, but would be last in other AL divisions. Padres Batting .179 with runners in scoring position and two outs. Brewers 13 straight games vs. Cubs and Pirates coming up. Indians Opponents are batting an even .300 this month. Twins Justin Morneau appears to be back in top form. Rockies Bats are alive at .310 in August; opponents are hitting .281. Cubs Swinging away: 142 strikeouts, 134 hits in August. Astros Managerial change can’t help in 2012.

Baseball players’ union chief treated for brain tumor The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Michael Weiner, who succeeded Donald Fehr as head of the baseball players’ union three years ago and negotiated a labor deal last fall in a seamless transition, is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. The union said Tuesday that he began treatments on Monday and that they are expected to last about one month. The union said it anticipates he will continue to work from its New York office on a daily basis during the treatments.
“It’s shocking,” Toronto pitcher Carlos Villaneuva said. “We told him, take care of himself first, which is the most important part of it all. I know he’s going to want to go into the office every day and keep track of everything. “It’s just the way his brain is wired. He was more concerned about us when we had our discussion about it. There were maybe 100 players on that phone call, and nobody said a word. We were all shocked. But he never buries the lead. He came right
out with it.” The 50-year-old Weiner succeeded Fehr in December 2009 to become just the fourth head of the union since 1966. He is widely liked and respected among players and management, and he has been credited for an improved relationship between sides. “I have great respect and admiration for Michael, with whom we have had a very constructive relationship both professionally and personally,” baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. “This
relationship has been a great benefit to baseball and has led to the tremendous success the game now enjoys. All of us look forward to Michael’s full recovery and to his continued contributions to our game.” Following his graduation from Williams College and Harvard Law School, Weiner clerked for a federal judge and was hired by Fehr in 1988 as a union staff lawyer. Under Weiner’s watch, the union signed an agreement in November for a
five-year contract running until December 2016, which ensures 21 consecutive years of labor peace in Major League Baseball. The agreement allowed for blood testing for human growth hormone, introduced restraints on bonuses for amateur draft picks and international signings, and restored salary arbitration eligibility for part of a class of players that lost it in the 1980s. “He’s ultra-prepared and smart,” Chicago White Sox player representative Paul Konerko said. “I mean I
think everybody is happy with the last agreement that got done.” Under Weiner, the union also succeeded in a grievance overturning a positive drug test against NL MVP Ryan Braun, who avoided a 50-game suspension. “He’s upbeat about everything and he’s looking forward to hopefully beating this,” San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain said. “Obviously, it’s going to be a process. We hope he can keep his strength and motivation up to make it through it.”

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS On this first full day of the Virgo sun, the Scorpio influence is also strong. The moon and Mars are both nestled into this mysterious part of the sky, amplifying the need for understanding and clarity on more than superficial levels. Between Virgo’s analytical influence and Scorpio’s tendency toward psychic surgery, much will be learned. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The one who gives you a chance is giving you a gift. And when you seize the opportunity and do your best, as you are inclined to do, it’s a living, breathing thankyou note. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Ordinary aspects of your life seem to shout out for extra attention -- even your coffee mug and your breakfast seem worthy of a snapshot. Someday you’ll be really glad to look at the pictures you took today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). “Foodies” talk about the flavor, texture and presentation of meals. You’re more concerned with the nutritional value. Your focus on substance will lend you luck in more than one area of life. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You prefer pleasant emotions, but you embrace whatever comes, knowing that laughter and joy are as essential to being human as are frustration and tears. Your willingness to accept all of it makes you strong. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be rewarded for getting things done, not
for getting things done perfectly. You’ll find a balance as you strive for a good product without letting every concern stop you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you feel like you’ve found your tribe, and sometimes you want to keep looking, believing that the tribe that found you is not a perfect fit. Today you’ll experience both mindsets. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is difficult to measure and track your progress when your pursuits are as broad as yours are today. And the spiritual aspects of your life are impossible to quantify. For now, be content with a feeling that all is well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know what real love is and what it is not. Even though grand gestures can come from someone who really loves you, they are not proof of love. That comes in small, specific gestures that only the two of you understand. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Like it or not, you are strongly affected by the people you spend the most time with, and you’ll become like them in many ways. A slight change in your social lineup will make a big difference. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). There are people who have done more with less than you have, and there are other people who have done less with much more. That’s why making comparisons is useless. Keep your eyes trained on your own
path. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Wanting too much from a loved one will create unnecessary drama. The most peaceful relationships involve expecting a loved one to be who they are and to do what they do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Judging from today, the benefits of balanced living may be overrated. You’ll see quick progress precisely because you focus all of your energy in one direction. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 23). Different people and settings will accommodate your need for excitement. It’s as though you’ve entered a new world, and you’ll deepen your investigation of it in September. You’ll take an item to market in December and be pleased with the outcome. November and July are the best times for travel. Aries and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 7 and 18. ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “Our son-in-law has allowed my husband’s grandchildren, age 7, to watch scary movies with him, and now they are so spooked that they have trouble sleeping. I told my husband to have a sit-down with his son-in-law, but he doesn’t want to jeopardize his relationship with his daughter (from another marriage), as they have already had plenty of rocky times to overcome to get to a place where they can be in each other’s lives. These poor children now talk constantly of maca-
bre scenes, and I fear they’ve been psychologically damaged. What should I do? I’m a Leo, and my son-in-law is a Pisces. My daughter-inlaw is a Cancer, and the twins are Pisces, too.” Let’s agree that inappropriate media exposure can cause psychological damage and a deep sense of insecurity in small children. This goes double for Pisces twins who are born into one of the most sensitive and impressionable signs of the zodiac. Perhaps you can appeal to their Cancer mother and show her the joint study from the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin, “Tales from the Screen: Enduring Fright Reactions to Scary Media,” which suggests that the long-term effects of scary movies can linger into adulthood. Follow your protective Leo instincts. It’s time to step in. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Australian heartthrob Rick Springfield paved the way for subsequent Australian artists like Keith Urban and Hugh Jackman -- and the Virgo rocker is still touring the world with Jessie’s Girl and new material. Springfield is a downto-earth Virgo with his moon and Pluto in Leo, the sign of the entertainer. His Venus in Libra shows him to be an incurable romantic.

THE JUDGMENT What a surprise it will be for many to appear at the judgment. Paul assures us there will be a judgment. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Cor 5:10). Hebrews 9:27 assures us that we face death and the judgment. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment”. The judgment will be a great day for the prepared, but a terrible day for all who are unprepared. The greatest crowd ever assembled will be present at the judgment. Jesus revealed that all nations will be present at the judgment. “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats” (Matt 25 :32). According to the above passage, everyone that has ever lived will be present for the judgment. Every member of all of our families will be present. Christ will be the greatest judge to ever preside. “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son” ( John 5:22). This judge lived among men and was tempted in all points like we are. “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb 4: 15). The things said about this judge was never said about any man who ever lived .. “ For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens” (Heb 7:26). Do we really believe that all of us will face the judgment revealed in the new testament? The Bible teaches that all of us face both death and the judgment. Only two different verdicts will be rendered. “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal (Matt 25:46). We never know when death will come; are we prepared for the judgment?

Badder, older ‘Expendables’ still cut the mustard Expendables 2, R, ***, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzeneggar , Bruce Willis, Nan Yu, Chuck Norris; Lions Gate film; Director Simon West; length -- 103 minutes In “Expendables 2,� prepare for some wild and creative action scenes along with a somewhat interesting story. Most action-paced movies supply the audience with plenty of extreme workouts as the feats take everyone over the top with exploits of all kinds. “Expendables 2� will not disappoint action junkies. The team completes a mission and they are back for some R and R. We are privy to some harsh history from one of the gang.
He wants to give up this dangerous life and settle down with a pretty Terry lady he Burns met while in the Movie Critic a r m e d services. Then Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) arrives to settle an old debt with Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), who is the leader of the group known as “The Expendables.� As things ensue, the group finds out it has to search for the location of some plutonium hidden by the Russians after the Cold War. It turns out that Intelligence along with some research has
found information that could lead to the whereabouts of the plutonium. The group must take a government agent with it to obtain the code to the safe where the information is secured. The agent is Maggie (Nan Yu) who just happens to be a beautiful woman. She is totally capable of using her brain, as well as, her fighting skills. This film is packed with over-the-top action and creative ways to demonstrate the many battles the group encounters along the way. With Lee Christmas (Jason Statham) using some really wild and crazy moves in order to take care of the bad guys, the audience will not be bored. With
Terry Burns’ movie ratings The Bourne Legacy, PG-13, *** 1⠄2 Total Recall, PG-13, *** 1⠄2 Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, PG-13, *** The Dark Knight Rises� PG-13, *** 1⠄2 The Amazing Spider Man, PG-13, *****  tough guys Trend (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Booker (Chuck Norris), along with a few others, we believe everything will turn out all right. ...Well, maybe not everything. There is a sad scene that weighs heavy on the group, especially Ross. The Expendables are some old codgers so to make them feel at home the audience listens to
some oldies but goodies throughout the movie: “I’m a Wonderer,� “Mustang Sally,� “Crystal Blue Persuasion� and “It’s a Beautiful Morning,� to name a few. Revenge plays a part in “Expendables 2,� so make sure to watch the movie all the way to the end. The finale is a one-onone knockdown, drag out, confrontation that leads the way to a very touch-
Short, sweet stretch of weather for August’s finale Another week or so and August will be over. Though the okra’s going great guns, our garden is winding down, the tomatoes growing smaller and smaller. The eggplants were a disappointment. The cantaloupe has borne all of two lopes. Three puny pumpkins are turning orange amid yards and yards of yellowing vines. But the crape myrtles have never been more beautiful. A week or two ago, they were at their height, the branches bowed beneath full-blown bouquets. Now their petals are littering the ground as if ticker tape parades have just passed by. We are grateful for the respite of this cool week. Almost every August has this short, sweet stretch. Makes us believe that autumn’s really on its way, especially when the yellow butterflies go tumbling through the air in
twos and threes. One fluttered right up to my window just a Ryland while ago. Bruhwiler T h i s morning, Columnist the iridescent hummers have been zipping in and zooming off nonstop. I’ll refill their feeders as soon as I send this column off. Surely going to miss those busy birds when, any day now, they head south. August has already, as my mom would say, given us lots of memory material. An old college friend stopped by for two overnighters. It was grand catching up. Our lives are very different. She lives in a tiny condo in the heart of a huge city, working at a demanding job. Just this last year it took her to
Russia for several months and then to Australia for another stretch, and in the last few years, she has made it through cancer and heartbreak, hiked in New Zealand and finished Spain’s Santiago trail on crutches. She’s at a bit of a crossroads in her life right now, but bubbling over with possibilities. Working on a neat idea for her next book. And she’d love to start a new kind of college that teaches folks to think creatively. Most of all, she wants to help create world peace, and unlike most of us well-meaning but lukewarm folks, she means it. I would not exchange my life for hers, but what a breath of fresh air. Then one of our sons was able to get away from his demanding job halfway across the continent and fly in for several days here on the farm. Though I love our big family get togethers, it was a joy
having him all to ourselves, to chat over coffee in the morning, to hear the murmur of his voice at the other end of the house, to catch a glimpse of him and John heading off on the old blue tractor to repair a fence or riding off on the young horses to see how well they jump. One morning we drove into Memphis to lunch with longtime friends -- whose son wanted to show off his first son, who is a carbon copy of his dad and granddad. What a sight, those three smiling faces all together. And speaking of life that keeps on springing up, I ran into Corinth yesterday for a baby shower, more than 30 women and several little girls chatting and nibbling and oohing and ahing as each gift emerged from the pretty papers and festive bows. The hostess had set up a centerpiece on her dining room table, a tray of sand
and pebbles with toy tractors and toy cars and trains so cute that I was tempted to play with them myself. (And yes, they were her gift for that baby.) I felt a part of life’s ongoing flow, this ritual of women gathering to bless another woman and her unborn child, not just with Huggies and baby wipes and tiny socks and blue pajamas -- though those gifts are vital -- but with our affection and our laughter. Most of them had been through childbirth: the pain, the joy, and the love so strong it surprised them. They knew what it will take to raise a child, and they wished nothing but the best for this young mother and her baby boy. (Daily Corinthian columnist Ryland Bruhwiler lives on a farm in McNairy County, Tenn. She can be contacted by email at downyonder@ wildblue.net.)
ing scene in France. The audience will not be disappointed in how it turns out. “Expendables 2� has a little too much over-thetop action, but hey -- it is summer time when the action films hit the big screen.

Diller’s final recording released Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Music collective Pink Martini has released the last song Phyllis Diller recorded, Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile,� as a fitting tribute to her memory. The voice of the late comedian is immediately recognizable on the recording, perhaps a little more wizened, but still strong and full of emotion. Diller died Monday at age 95. The song was recorded last February by Pink Martini bandleader Thomas Lauderdale. It’s available for listening on YouTube and Soundcloud. Lauderdale says he may add strings and a clarinet before the album, “Get Happy,� comes out next spring.
