The Columbus Municipal
School District will not imme-
diately be able to issue teach-
er contracts for the upcoming
school year.
In a 3-2 vote, the Columbus
Municipal School Board denied
the recommended salary pay
scale for district personnel. Ac-
cording to CMSD administra-
tors, contracts cannot be issued
without the board approval of
the salary scale.
The district
currently employs
380 teachers, ad-
ministrators and
school personnel.
As well as de-
nying the salary
scale, the board
denied a one-time
expenditure that included pur-
chasing textbooks, buses, a new
athletic facility and technology
upgrades.
The expenditures would cost
the district approximately $1.9
million. As of Monday night,
Chief Financial Ofcer Tammy
McGarr said the district has
approximately $8.1 million on
hand.
Board members Jason Spears
and Glenn Lautzenhiser voted in
favor of the expenditures and
employee contracts with board
members Currie Fisher, Angela
Verdell and Greg Lewis voting
against.
After the vote, Spears asked
to move such other matters that
may come before the board, an
item listed after executive ses-
sion, to the boards next topic
of discussion. Spears said he in-
tended to bring the matter of the

U.S. on
track for
narrowest
budget gap
since 2008
Economic downturn
reduced tax revenue
and increased
government spending
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The U.S.
government ran a big surplus
in April, thanks to a ood of tax
payments that helped keep the
budget on track for the lowest
annual decit in six years.
The Treasury Department
said Monday that Aprils sur-
plus totaled $106.9 billion, down
slightly from last Aprils $112.9
billion surplus. The government
typically runs a surplus during
April, when individual tax re-
turns are due and corporations
make quarterly tax payments.
Through the rst seven
months of the 2014 budget year,
which began Oct. 1, the de-
cit totals $306.4 billion. Thats
down 37 percent from the same
period last year.
The Congressional Budget
Ofce is forecasting a decit of
$492 billion for the full budget
year. That would be the narrow-
est gap since 2008.
In 2008, the government
recorded a decit of $458.6 bil-
Report: Job training key to economic growth
BY CARL SMITH
csmith@cdispatch.com
The Golden
Triangle has the
potential to be-
come one of the
most dynamic
small-area econ-
omies in the
U.S. if Lowndes,
Oktibbeha and
Clay counties leaders are pre-
pared to invest in education
and expansion efforts, accord-
ing to an economic and com-
munity development study de-
livered to community leaders
Monday.
While the tri-county area
has experienced economic de-
velopment successes over the
past year, William Fruth, pres-
ident of the Florida-based in-
dependent economic research
rm POLICOM Corporation,
told city and county represen-
tatives the greatest threat to
the regions economy could be
its inability to provide skilled
laborers for incoming projects
like Yokohama Tires develop-
ment in Clay County.
The Golden Triangles best
chance for success, he said, is
to concentrate on workforce
training efforts and develop
another large research and de-
velopment park in connection
with Mississippi State Univer-
sity in an attempt to bolster
the universitys economic im-
pact on the region.
If city and county leaders
want to signicantly grow the
areas economy, they must be
prepared to fund workforce
and expansion projects, or
be content with the few victo-
ries already secured, Golden
Triangle Development LINK
CEO Joe Max Higgins said.
Higgins estimated an initial
investment, which includes
both projects and another
to increase Lowndes Coun-
ty sewage capacity near the
airport, at about $65 million.
Cities and counties across the
Golden Triangle passed reso-
lutions for economic develop-
ment bonds, and those intent
notices could come to fruition

JACKSON Poultry grow-
ers are looking for some help
after the April 28 tornadoes that
caused tremendous damage on
farms and the loss of more than
a million birds in four Missis-
sippi counties.
The Mississippi Board of
Animal Health reports more
than one million birds were
lost to the tornadoes or subse-
quent power outages. Winston,
Wayne, Newton and Scott coun-
ties reported 58 houses with
major damage and 17 houses
with minor damage.
Tom Tabler with the Missis-
sippi State University Exten-
sion Service said many poultry
growers have signicant recov-
ery expenses but no options for
income except disaster money.
He said some of them may have
lost their homes in addition to
their poultry houses.
There will not be any quick
xes for these farm families,
he said.

NBCs Ann Curry aided
by N.J. Boy Scout troop
NEWARK, N.J. Ann
Curry has reported from
the most dangerous plac-
es on earth, yet when she
broke her leg during a re-
cent hike, it was a troop of
New Jersey Boy Scouts that
came to her rescue.
Curry was hiking with
her family on Bear Moun-
tain in New Yorks Harri-
man State Park on Satur-
day, April 5, when she hurt
her leg.
Members of Troop 368
from Berkeley Heights,
New Jersey, came across
the injured NBC News cor-
respondent sitting along
the trail after her family
had tried unsuccessfully to
carry her down the rugged
mountain path, according
to Scouting Magazine. Cur-
ry encouraged the scouts
to keep going, but seeing
she was in pain and need-
ed medical attention, they
quickly fashioned a splint
for her injured ankle and
crafted a stretcher from
logs and a tarp. They car-
ried her down the moun-
tain to where her husband
and son brought their car
to rush her to the hospital.
Your skill and profes-
sionalism were a great com-
fort to me, Curry wrote. I
was in great pain but you
were very careful in car-
rying me over the sharp
rocks and into the car that
took me to the hospital.
Curry said her leg was
so severely broken that it
would take 10 to 12 weeks
to heal.

WASHINGTON A cross sec-
tion of Americans awakened early
and waited in line for hours to be
among the rst to ride to the top of
the Washington Monument, open
to the public Monday for the rst
time in nearly three years after an
earthquake chipped and cracked
the towering symbol.
The 130-year-old, 555-foot-tall
obelisk was built in honor of the na-
tions rst president between 1848
and 1884 and briey reigned as the
worlds tallest structure until it was
eclipsed by the Eiffel Tower.
Engineers have spent nearly
1,000 days making repairs stone by
stone. Now new exhibits have been
installed, and the National Park
Service is offering extended hours
to visitors through the summer.
For the hundreds of visitors, the
trip to the top of the tallest struc-
ture in Washington is brief: Its
a 70-second ride to the top, and
a more leisurely two minutes, 45
seconds back down. The massive
monuments meaning is much
more lasting for Marc Tanner.
I just love American history,
I love traveling to see American
history, and this is it. You cant get
more historic than this, said Tan-
ner, of Boca Raton, Florida, who
was one of the rst to visit the top.
I used to be a stock broker; I
went through 9/11 as a broker,
and ... it stands alone in the Unit-
ed States to represent freedom for
me.

Godzilla needs a good law-
yer sometimes. After all,
you dont survive 60 years
in the movie business with-
out taking some ghts to
court.
For decades, attorneys
acting on behalf of Godzil-
las owners, Tokyo-based
Toho Co. Ltd., have
amassed a string of victo-
ries, ghting counterfeiters
and business titans such as
Comcast and Honda along
the way. The opponents
have come from all corners
of pop culture: TV com-
mercials, video games, rap
music and even the liquor
industry.
The litigation has kept
Godzillas brand thriving
and helped pave the way
for commercial and mer-
chandising tie-ins that will
accompany the monsters
return to the big screen
on Friday after a 10 year
hiatus. Godzillas image is
for sale, but permission is
needed.
Tohos attorneys use
copyright and trademark
law as effectively as Godzil-
la uses his tail and claws to
topple buildings and swat
opponents. Their court in-
junctions have permanently
whacked music, books and
movies from store shelves.
Since the mid-1980s,
Chuck Shephard of the Los
Angeles law rm of Green-
berg Glusker has been
Godzillas lead lawyer, ling
suits like the one against
a wine called Cabzilla that
resulted in a winemaker be-
ing forced to dump its stock
of Cabernet Sauvignon
down the drain.
Godzilla is just as pro-
tected as Mickey Mouse,
said Shephard in a recent
interview. Tohos lucrative
licensing efforts, which in-
clude endorsements, toys,
comic books, video games
and even ofcial wine and
sake brands, require the
company to be vigilant
against copycats, he said.
Since 1991, Tohos at-
torneys have led at least
32 copyright and trade-
mark lawsuits and count-
less warning letters, gain-
ing court injunctions in a
quarter of the cases. Most
others have resulted in set-
tlement agreements that
while condential, result
in products disappearing
from the marketplace.
Since the late 1990s,
Shephard has worked
Toho cases with attorney
Aaron Moss, whose high-
end Century City ofce is
cluttered with a mix of legal
lings and ofcial and unof-
cial Godzilla merchandise.
Some of the spoils of
court victories include
a now out-of-circulation
copy of rapper Pharoahe
Monchs 1999 album that
improperly used Godzillas
theme music and a two-foot-
tall dog toy called Tuffzilla.

WASHINGTON The avail-
ability of state-funded pre-kin-
dergarten programs varies
widely from one part of the
country to another, says a new
report.
For example, more than 9 in
10 4-year-olds in the District of
Columbia attended such a pro-
gram during the 2012-13 school
year, while 10 states have no
such program.
A number of states had fair-
ly high enrollments, according
to the report released Tuesday,
though slightly lower than the
District. More than 7 out of 10
4-year-olds in Florida, Oklaho-
ma and Vermont were in such
programs, while about 6 in 10
in Iowa, Georgia, West Virginia
and Wisconsin were enrolled.
In fact, even as lawmakers
from both parties have em-
braced the idea of expanding
early childhood programs, the
number of children enrolled in
state preschool programs saw
a modest decline of about 9,200
children in the 20-2013 school
year the rst such reduction
since 2002, when researchers
at Rutgers University started
tracking pre-K trends. Even as
funding increased from a year
earlier, more than half of states
with programs made cuts. Cal-
ifornia alone, for example, lost
nearly 15,000 slots.
Overall, $5.4 billion was spent
by states on pre-K funding for
about 1.3 million preschoolers.
The report is from the Na-
tional Institute for Early Edu-
cation Research at Rutgers in
collaboration with the Education
Departments National Center
for Education Statistics.
Given announcements of sup-
port by politicians for preschool,
Steven Barnett, the director of
the institute at Rutgers, said he
expected more growth to be re-
ected in the ndings, and yet,
the numbers arent there.
We were very surprised,
Barnett said.
Education Secretary Arne
Duncan said the data is a re-
minder of how much work we
still have to do to ensure that ev-
ery child gets a running start.
President Barack Obama
has advocated for universal pre-
school for Americas 4-year-olds.
Hes found Democratic allies in
the effort on Capitol Hill, but
Republicans such as Rep. John
Kline, R-Minn., the chairman
of the House Education Com-
mittee, have said improving
existing federally funded early
childhood programs should be
the priority.
Outside of Washington,
governors from both parties
have advocated for creating or
expanding preschool. In Indi-
ana, GOP Gov. Mike Pence,
for example, signed into law in
March a new pilot program for
low-income children. In Con-
necticut, Gov. Dannel Malloy, a
Democrat, recently successfully
pushed through an expansion of
about 1,000 preschool slots.
Those changes arent reect-
ed in the reports ndings, nor
are program expansions passed
in New York that could have New
York City alone add tens of thou-
sands of children to state-funded
preschool programs, possibly as
soon as the fall.
Supporters say preschool
programs help level the playing
eld for young children who
enter kindergarten well behind
their peers and never catch up,
and members of the business
community are among those
advocates for preschool expan-
sion. But the quality of such pro-
grams varies.
No states require preschool-
ers to attend school. Some
states seek to offer it universal-
ly. Others base eligibility on fam-
ily income. Under some setups,
a community-based program
receives public dollars. Other
programs are within elementary
schools.
While some states offer
state-funded preschool to 3-year-
olds, the programs are much
more popular for 4-year-olds.
The District of Columbia
serves about three-quarters of
3-year-olds. New Jersey and Ver-
mont serve about 1 in 5 3-year-
olds.
Public preschool programs
can cost thousands of dollars
per child annually. The District
of Columbia the highest
spender spent $14,690 per
child in the 2012-13 school year,
according to the report.
Barnett has said previously
that about half of U.S. children
attend any kind of preschool
program at ages 3 and 4, and for
about a third of these children it
is a publicly supported program.
A separate study by the Edu-
cation Commission of the States
nds that in the current scal
year, 30 states and the District
of Columbia increased appro-
priations for state-funded pre-
schools.
Availability of state-funded pre-K varies widely
GREENWOOD At-
torneys for a Greenwood
doctor charged in a mur-
der-for-hire case have led
a lawsuit in federal court
alleging his arrest came
during an illegal undercov-
er sting operation.
The Greenwood Com-
monwealth reports defen-
dants in the lawsuit are
attorney and the alleged
target Lee Abraham, Attor-
ney General Jim Hood and
10 investigators from his
ofce, Greenwood Detec-
tive Jeff Byars, Assistant
District Attorney Timothy
Jones and Leore County
Justice Court Judge Jim
Campbell.
Dr. Arnold Smith, 71,
is charged with murder
as the alleged instigator
of a plot that ended April
28, 2012, with the death of
gunman Keaira Byrd and
the serious wounding Der-
rick Lacy. Byrd allegedly
was hired to Lee Abraham,
who represented Smiths
ex-wife in their divorce
years ago. Smith is also
charged with two counts
of conspiring to murder
Abraham.
Three investigators
from the attorney generals
ofce were at Abrahams
ofce when Byrd and Lacy
arrived and exchanged

The criminal case

be held to re-examine his
competency after treat-
ment is completed.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.
Fifty-seven years after fed-
eral troops escorted nine
black students into Little
Rocks Central High School
as a white mob jeered, Ar-
kansas again nds itself in
the center of a debate over
civil rights. This time, the
issue is gay marriage, but
the 1957 desegregation cri-
sis still casts a shadow.
More than 200 gay
couples have been issued
marriage licenses in the Bi-
ble Belt state after a judge
struck down Arkansas
same-sex marriage ban.
Gay rights support-
ers regularly invoke the
1957 desegregation battle,
warning opponents that
history may not look kind-
ly on them. At the same
time, those concerns may
not resonate throughout
Arkansas, where recent
polling still shows heavy
opposition to gay marriage.
Nearly a week before
the ban was struck down,
Arkansas Attorney General
Dustin McDaniel cited the
states spotty civil rights
history as he declared his
support for marriage equal-
ity. While vowing to defend
the ban in court, McDaniel
became the rst statewide
elected ofcial to endorse
same-sex marriage.
McDaniel said he
voiced his opinion because
he wanted to avoid follow-
ing the legacy of former
Attorney General Bruce
Bennett, who is little re-
membered after he didnt
ght then-Gov. Orval Fau-
bus efforts to keep Little
Rocks schools segregated
in 1957.
(Bennett) would have
lost the election in 58 if he
had done so, but his place
in history ... would be dif-
ferent, McDaniel said.
McDaniel, a Democrat
serving his nal year in of-
ce, is now asking Arkan-
sas highest court to put
on hold the decision that
allowed gay couples to get
married, saying its his job
as the states top lawyer to
defend the law even if he
disagrees with it personal-
ly.

DISPATCH
THE
FROM OUR WEBSITE
OUR VIEW
Today, a consultant hired
by the Golden Triangle Devel-
opment LINK to assess the
future of economic develop-
ment in our area revealed his
ndings in a public meeting
at the Mayhew campus of
East Mississippi Community
College, a day after sharing
that information with public
ofcials.
During his presentations,
POLICOM Corp. President
William Fruth asserted that
The Golden Triangle can
become one of the strongest
small-area industrial regions
in the U.S. because the infra-
structure, for the most part, is
in place to make that a reality.
The LINK has skillfully
delivered industries such as
Severstal, Paccar and Air-
bus, bringing badly needed
jobs and pumping millions of
dollars into the local economy.
Looming just on the horizon is
the arrival of phase one of Yo-
kohama Tire Company, which
will open in 2015 and provide
500 jobs. Three more phases,
each of which would add 500
additional jobs, are planned.
The jobs have been pro-
vided; we need a prepared
workforce to ll them.
There is no shortage of peo-
ple, but there is a shortage of
those who are ready to work.
Fruth estimated there are
28,000 unemployed people
of working age in the Golden
Triangle who lack the skills
and training required to ll
the hundreds of jobs that will
soon be coming to our area.
To remedy that, EM-
CC-Mayhew has worked with
Yokohama to develop a train-
ing program that will equip
those people with the skills
required to land those jobs.
While a job is not guaranteed
upon completing EMCCs
training program, in nine to
10 weeks, an individual can be
prepared to walk in the door of
Yokohama, ready to work.
This represents an oppor-
tunity that should be preached
from the pulpits, shouted from
the street corners, yelled from
the rooftops.
Yet, the response has not
been what should be expect-
ed.
To date, approximately 535
people have taken EMCCs
WorkKeys assessment, which
evaluates a persons readiness
to work in todays manufac-
turing industry. Roughly
150 people have enrolled in
EMCCs basic manufacturing
skills training classes, which
give individuals skills basic
manufacturing skills which
could be used at Paccar,
Severstal or any other area
manufacturer. EMCC also
provides an advance manufac-
turing skills training program
that will equip students for
even better-paying jobs in the
industry.
The WorkKeys test costs
$50. The manufacturing skills
classes are $120. Although
there is no nancial aid avail-
able for these classes, there
may be some need-based
funding available through
WIN Job Center in Colum-
bus (phone: [662] 328-6876)
or Prairie Opportunity in
Starkville (phone: [662] 323-
3397).
Ideally, ofcials at EMCC
and Yokohama would like to
see about 3,000 people par-
ticipating in these programs,
which would provide a suit-
able pool of candidates as the
hiring process begins.
These are good-paying
jobs, mind you, and the
opportunity presented to all
the unskilled unemployed of
our community is something
that can not only change the
personal trajectory of those
who will take the small steps
required to become eligible
for work, but can make the
Golden Triangle a magnet for
industrial and manufacturing
growth.
Yokohamas arrival need
not signal the end of industrial
growth and all of the good
things that come with it.
Industries will continue
to look for the right place to
build and there are no short-
ages of unemployed people in
any area of the country.
What will ultimately make
the difference for our area,
then, is not the sheer number
of job-seekers, but the number
of those job-seekers who have
the skills and training neces-
sary to ll the jobs that come
our way.
During Mondays meeting
with elected ofcials, there
was some concern that many
of the unemployed have
become dependent on govern-
ment subsistence programs.
In some cases, a person can
receive more money by stay-
ing unemployed than working
at a low-paying job.
Here, then, is another op-
portunity, one that will break
the cycle of dependency by
means of a good-paying job.
Work can be empowering, a
source of pride. They repre-
sent a real chance to escape
poverty and dependence and
a chance to win for them-
selves the dignity that comes
through self-reliance.
These opportunities that
should not be allowed to pass.
Everything is in place.
All that is needed are peo-
ple who are willing to take the
few small steps necessary to
change their lives.
This is a message we all
need to spread.
For information on the
training, go to emccwork-
force@eastms.edu or call
(662) 243-2686.
The following is an edited selection of reader
comments posted at the end of stories and columns
published on-line. More can be found at www.cdis-
patch.com.
Ofcials: Budget keeps city from using road
tax from county for roads
OldHenry5005: Nathan, how long to get those
1,500 signatures? Where oh where is Hardy Crunk
when you need him?
swampthing2: Heres the problem with this:
Havent paved a single street twice is not equiv-
alent to havent needed to pave a single street
twice.
Lets face it - the infrastructure in this city is
substandard. I have lived in ve other states, and
more than that number of locations altogether.
These are the worst streets and infrastructure I
have personally encountered in any of the places I
have lived. I can extend that unfortunate honor
to include places in the United States that I have
visited but not lived in. Nowhere else have I ever
smelled natural gas leaks ever. In Columbus, I
walk by them frequently at a number of inter-
sections right near downtown Columbus. Nowhere
else have I seen storm drain covers missing, only
half-covering the drain thus a serious health
hazard and, one would think, a lawsuit waiting to
happen or just plain missing altogether, and
for extended periods of time. It does not appear to
me that Public Works is running a tight ship that
thereby justies Mr. Staffords statement.
Yes, I have seen other places as beat up as
this but only elsewhere around the Southeast. I
say that, knowing that I prefer this region for a va-
riety of reasons more than any other I have known
in spite of my comments above. Still, these are the
standards against which we are compared by the
majority of those who visit from outside the South-
east. I wonder what the high-level management
of Yokohama Tire will decide when they tour the
communities of the local communities to decide
where to live? In other words, do we think that
Columbus curb appeal beats out that of Starkville
or West Point? Those things matter both for the
near and long term.
Hearing for superintendent search set
for tonight
Raider: Heres 2 suggestions:
1. Hire someone already! If I am lucky, the Lord
will give me about 30 more years, I am started
to doubt if I will see a permanent superintendent
appointed to the Columbus school system within
that time frame.
2. Instead of wasting all this time, nd the top
three school districts in the state, the region or the
nation. Get the input that was submitted during
their last superintendent search and use that infor-
mation to select a superintendent for Columbus.
You might improve the chances of getting a decent
one and possibly start dialing back on some of the
selection politics.
Reports: Severstal for sale
rcogburn: I guess all the state, county and city
$$$ incentives as well as tax breaks are about
to expire. Corporate welfare rides again off into
the sunset. Why buy Severstal at that ridiculous
number when you can just nd some sucker state
to underwrite your start up costs and start new?
Board attorney vows to ght citys ethics claim

WASHINGTON
How refreshing to
hear Monica Lewinsky
recount the depth of
her shame. When it was
revealed in 1998 that she
had provided then-Pres-
ident Clinton with oral
sex, Lewinsky now
writes in Vanity Fair,
she was arguably the
most humiliated person
in the world.
How many ambitious
women these days
wouldnt take that lemon
of embarrassment and
turn it into the lemonade
of sexy branding? Paris
Hilton and Kim Kar-
dashian used (leaked)
tapes of their sexual
exploits as career boost-
ers.
By contrast, Lewin-
sky went into mortied
hiding no sex videos,
fortunately after
the story detonated 16
years ago. (There was
a secretly taped con-
versation with a friend
betraying her.) By the
end of the year, she
had no privacy left to
protect, every last salacious detail
having been rendered public by the
445-page report by independent
counsel Kenneth Starr.
But rather than cash in on lucra-
tive offers to exploit her notoriety,
Lewinsky quietly pursued studies
at the London School of Econom-
ics. And during Hillary Clintons
2008 run for president, she lay low.
I dont agree with her take on all
that transpired back then. When
Lewinsky says she felt sacriced
for political expediency by the
Clinton forces, she
does miss the big
picture.
After all, there
was a country to run.
Sensitivities toward an
embarrassed woman
took a back seat to
the need to hold the
presidency together.
To the extent she was
sacriced, it was in the
public interest.
Also, if Hillary
Clinton unfairly called
her a narcissistic
looney tune in a
memo, well, a wife
cheated on in such a
casually shocking way
is entitled to lash out.
Both are good wom-
en, and from a purely
political standpoint,
Hillary beneted from
that trial by re. Her
approval rating soared
as Americans turned
on the Republicans
appalling inquisition
against her still-popu-
lar husband.
To her great credit,
Lewinsky rmly states
that the affair was a consensual
relationship between two adults.
She thus swats away Rand Pauls
recent comment that Clinton
committed workplace violence
against her.
Lewinskys umbrage over the
trashing she endured at the hands
of professional feminists trying to
help Clinton is warranted. Brought
together at a fancy Manhattan
restaurant to muse on the scandal,
the New York supergals (as the
New York Observer called them)
ung mud pies of dull wit at the
easy Monica target.
Erica Jong: My dental hygienist
pointed out that she had third-
stage gum disease.
It was on that level.
The gals freely bashed Lewin-
skys looks. One noted that if JFK
has an affair with Marilyn Monroe,
its all in the realm of the demi-
gods. ... I mean, the thing I kept
hearing over and over again was
Monica Lewinskys not that pretty.
That Lewinsky had some
unfashionable pounds on her only
added a certain warmth to the
relationship that would have been
missing had she been a Hollywood
star. Though Clintons behavior
was crude, he did connect with a
real woman, not a celebrity notch
on the belt to brag about.
Lewinsky offers important
insight on the culture of humil-
iation of which she is a pioneer.
Theres no stopping the way cheap
technology and viral social media
can magnify and multiply embar-
rassing moments with indifference
to fact, much less nuance.
We are reminded how, in the
digital age, a youthful indiscretion
can mar one for life. We who came
of age before high schoolers had
the means to post pictures of them-
selves drunk or half-dressed often
sigh with relief. Almost every teen
does stupid things.
One cant say to Lewinsky
this, too, will pass, this being so
spectacular, but perhaps it will fade
a bit. We can say, Monica, you have
since comported yourself with
grace.

columnist, writes for the Providence

Doctors Saum, Sullivan & Pokorney
Chiropractic care works on correcting misaligned or
out of place vertebrae and can remove the pressure
placed on the sciatic nerve, reducing pain and
improving exibility and function.
Pain traveling from
the lower back to the
buttocks or down the
leg is called sciatica.
This can cause
tremendous pain
and normal activities
can become almost
impossible. Our doctors
can help relieve your
pain and return you
to your normal daily
activities.

sometime this calendar
year, he said.
As Yokohama pro-
ceeds with a rst-phase
development forecasted
to create about 500 jobs
and additional phases
that could create 1,500
more positions, Fruth
said the drain on the
Golden Triangles skilled
worker pool could cause
other companies eyeing
signicant developments
to look elsewhere.
Fruths report esti-
mated the regions work-
ing-age population at al-
most 84,000 at the time of
the 2012 census. Almost
28,000 of those residents,
however, were not looking
for employment due to a
lack of skills and a prefer-
ence for entitlement sup-
port over upward mobility
issues associated with en-
try-level, minimum wage
jobs.
Yokohama ofcials
had questions about the
regions ability to provide
skilled workers before
inking a development
deal and locating to West
Point, but East Missis-
sippi Community Col-
lege pledged its support
to train job seekers for
the companys specic
needs.
If the issue of provid-
ing 500 skilled workers
is questionable today,
it will be critical in the
future in determining if
Yokohama expands as
planned to 2,000 workers
over the long term, the
report states. It is quite
possible the region could
create over the next 10-20
years as many as 10,000
new primary jobs, billions
of dollars of investment
and hundreds of millions
of dollars of payrolls and
economic activity; howev-
er, this will not happen if
the workforce is not avail-
able.
To solve this issue,
Fruth suggested the
region create a facility
housing programs that
encourage chronically
unemployed residents to
acquire needed skillsets
and education for expect-
ed jobs. The programs, he
said, should also inspire
school-age children by
teaching them the virtues
of gainful employment.
The tri-county eco-
nomic development cen-
ter could also serve as a
business incubator, house
ofces for economic or-
ganizations and provide
more space to EMCC for
advanced manufacturing
education.
As for the Starkville
expansion project,
Fruths report calls for
the LINK to plan and de-
velop a major research
and development campus
of at least 500 acres near
MSU. An additional 500
acres should be identied
for future use as well, the
report states.
Higgins estimated the
project would cost at least
$10 million, even if the
LINK acquired land and
tended to infrastructure
needs in phases. In this
scenario, the Oktibbeha
County Economic Devel-
opment Authority would
be the land owner, he
said, negating the need
for State College Board
approval for development
deals.
It would be decoupled
from the university, but
we want MSU to be there
and partner with us every
step of the way, he said.
Our vision is (OCEDA
President) Jack Wallace
and his team would be at
the controls and make de-
cisions.
Fruths report encour-
aged Lowndes County
and Clay County ofcials
to continue developing
the airport industrial
park and Yokohama site,
respectively, while also
looking into possible
speculation building con-
struction and other bait
sites. Oktibbeha County
representatives were ad-
vised to develop a long-
term plan for quality of
life issues.
Poultry
Winston County grow-
er Tim Hobby said he
lost 10 broiler houses and
234,000 birds. About half
of the birds arrived four
days before the storm, and
he said the others were
placed in the houses about
two hours before the tor-
nado barreled through.
Hobby said his immedi-
ate need is debris remov-
al.
I would need 2 miles
of roadside to pile all this
within 10 feet of the right
of way for the county to
pick up. There is just too
much for that to work, he
said.
Mike Sullivan of the
U.S. Department of Ag-
ricultures Farm Service
Agency told growers the
agency hopes the live-
stock indemnity portion
of the new farm bill will
move along faster than it
did in the old farm bill.
These recent torna-
does are the rst time we
are implementing the new
legislation. Unfortunately
for Mississippi, but fortu-
nately for those impacted,
we have a lot of experi-
ence handling disasters,
Sullivan said.
Board
one-time expenditures up
again and wanted taxpay-
ers to hear the discussion.
His request was voted
down in the same 3-2 vote.
After executive ses-
sion, the board resumed
the conversation about the
expenditure. Board attor-
ney David Dunn informed
the board that they could
be in violation of the Mis-
sissippi School Board by-
laws if they denied the su-
perintendents request to
buy textbooks and buses.
Im concerned that not
purchasing textbooks...
could be a violation of that
standard, Dunn said. A
greater concern to me is
not purchasing a school
bus.
Dunn then noted the
aging school bus eet, and
said he was concerned
about students safety and
the boards responsibility
for student safety. Depu-
ty superintendent Craig
Shannon recommended
the board purchase 12
new buses, three due to
advanced age and condi-
tion of the buses.
I feel like if the su-
perintendent has recom-
mended we replace three
because of age, there is
a safety issue, and there-
fore youve got exposure,
Dunn said. Its important
for the trustees not to put
themselves in that posi-
tion.
Board members then
reversed course and unan-
imously voted to purchase
new textbooks and one
special education bus. The
11 remaining requested
buses went unapproved.
However, even though
the board unanimously
approved purchasing the
textbooks and bus, ear-
lier in the evening they
skipped the line item on
the agenda that would
have increased funding.
According to Interim Su-
perintendent Edna Mc-
Gill, without the board ap-
proving a budget increase
from the fund balance, the
buses and textbooks can-
not be purchased.
At the request of
Spears, the board then
went line item by line item
on the one-time expendi-
tures.
In each vote, the board
denied approving the line
items. Each vote was 3-2
with Spears and Lautzen-
hiser in favor and Fisher,
Verdell and Lewis op-
posed.
Monday nights meet-
ing is the third time Mc-
Gill has recommended
the one-time expenditure.
Referencing one of
the expenditure requests,
Spears asked McGill
why the district needed
$780,051 in technology
upgrades.
McGill explained that
due to Common Core and
state standards, students
in the district would need
more individual time on
computers. To support
that need, the districts
technology system re-
quires an upgrade.
As Spears was speak-
ing to McGill, Verdell
interrupted him and told
him he had one minute to
nish speaking.
During last months
meeting, the board put
time limits on parts of
the agenda. Discussion
on such other matters
that may come before the
board does not have a
board-imposed time limit,
however.
Spears continued and
asked McGill if not having
supporting technology
put the districts technol-
ogy magnet school sta-
tus in jeopardy. Verdell
told Spears his time was
up. Spears responded, I
have 15 seconds. Verdell
responded by counting
down, saying, 14, 13,
come on, lets go.
McGill responded that
the magnet school is not
currently in jeopardy but
the upgrades are greatly
needed.
Spears began to speak
to board members about
his concerns of board ac-
tions and whether they
were legal when Verdell
again cut him off.
The board then got into
a dispute about whether
or not the meeting could
properly adjourn. The
board voted 4-1 to adjourn
with Spears opposed.
After the meeting, Ver-
dell, who speaks for the
board in her role as board
president, declined to
comment, instead asking
for an email of questions.
As of press time, she had
not responded to the ques-
tions.

Budget
lion, which was the decit
up to that time. But that
record was soon eclipsed
as the government ran
annual decits surpass-
ing $1 trillion for the
next four years. Those
decits reected a deep
recession. The downturn
reduced tax revenue and
increased government
spending to stabilize the
nancial system and pay
benets for people who
had lost jobs.
So far this budget year,
revenue totals $1.74 tril-
lion, up 8.2 percent from
the same period in 2013.
Revenue has been boost-
ed by a stronger economy,
which means more people
working and paying tax-
es, thereby reducing the
decit.
Government spending
totals $1.6 trillion, down
8.2 percent from a year
ago. The decline reects
efforts by Congress and
the administration to trim
spending.
After peaking at $1.4
trillion in 2009, the de-
cit has been falling. Last
year, it dropped to $680.2
billion.
Over the next decade,
CBO is projecting that
the decits will total $7.6
trillion, $286 billion less
than it projected in Febru-
ary. The biggest factor in
the improvement is $165
billion less in projected
spending on health insur-
ance subsidies for policies
sold through exchanges
created by the Affordable
Care Act. Those policies
are proving less costly than
CBO originally thought,
mainly because of tighter
management of treatment
options.
The CBO is forecast-
ing that the decit will fall
to $469 billion in 2015 be-
fore rising again and top-
ping $1 trillion annually
starting in 2023. The in-
creases will be driven by
spending on the govern-
ments major benet pro-
grams, including Social
Security and Medicare, as
baby boomers retire.
Republicans have ac-
cused Obama of failing
to propose signicant
cost-cutting measures to
reduce soaring entitle-
ment costs. Democrats
counter that Republicans
would rather impose
sharp cuts on necessary
government programs
than impose higher taxes
on the wealthy.
Neither side is expect-
ed to make major conces-
sions in this congressio-
nal election year. But the
budget wars of the past
three years are likely to
subside this year after an
agreement was reached
in December on the broad
outlines for spending
over the next two years.
The agreement will allow
Washington to avoid the
showdowns that culmi-
nated in Octobers 16-day
partial shutdown of the
government.
The cease-re in the
budget wars also includes
legislation that will sus-
pend the governments
borrowing limit through
March 15 of next year.

WASHINGTON Mark Matu-
laitis holds out his arms so the Par-
kinsons specialist can check his
tremors. But this is no doctors ofce:
Matulaitis sits in his rural Maryland
home as a neurologist a few hundred
miles away examines him via the
camera in his laptop.
Welcome to the virtual house call,
the latest twist on telemedicine. Its
increasingly getting attention as a
way to conveniently diagnose sim-
ple maladies, such as whether that
runny nose and cough is a cold or
the u. One company even offers a
smartphone app that lets tech-savvy
consumers connect to a doctor for
$49 a visit.
Now patient groups and technolo-
gy advocates are pushing to expand
the digital care to people with com-
plex chronic diseases that make a
doctors trip more than just an incon-
venience.
Why cant we provide care to
people wherever they are? asks Dr.
Ray Dorsey, a neurologist at the Uni-
versity of Rochester Medical Center
who is leading a national study of vid-
eo visits for Parkinsons patients and
sees broader appeal.
Think of taking your mom with
Alzheimers to a big urban medical
center. Just getting through the park-
ing lot theyre disoriented, he adds.
Thats the standard of care but is it
what we should be doing?
Among the hurdles: While Medi-
care covers some forms of telehealth,
it doesnt typically pay for in-home
video exams. Plus, doctors who prac-
tice by video-chat must be licensed in
whatever states their long-distance
patients live. Some states restrict the
kind of care and prescribing avail-
able via telemedicine.
About 40 percent of Parkinsons
patients dont see a specialist, in part
because they live too far away, even
though research suggests those who
do fare better, according to the Par-
kinsons Action Network.
When Matulaitis rst was diag-
nosed in 2011, his wife had to take a
day off work to drive him more than
two hours to a Parkinsons clinic.
Once he was stabilized on medica-
tion, Dorsey enrolled the Salisbury,
Md., man in a pilot study of video
house calls. Set-up was simple: The
doctor emailed a link to video soft-
ware designed for patient privacy.
Hes thrilled with the care.
The doctor will see you now
via webcam, smartphone
Why cant we provide
care to people wherever
they are?

He was one of the
most beloved teachers in
the world of internation-
al schools that serve the
children of diplomats,
well-off Americans and lo-
cal elites. He was often the
rst to arrive in the morn-
ing, and last to leave. He
led student trips to exotic
places and gave out cook-
ies and milk at bedtime.
That was the public
persona of William Va-

in November. On it was
evidence that Vahey had
molested scores of adoles-
cent boys, possibly more.
The discovery of a
man the FBI regards as
one of the most prolic
pedophiles in memory
has set off a crisis in the
community of interna-
tional schools, where par-
ents are being told their
children may have been
victims, and administra-
tors are scurrying to close
loopholes exposed by Va-
heys abuses.
Apparently, not even
Vaheys victims knew they
had been molested. The
double-cream Oreos that
he handed out were laced
with sleeping pills
enough to leave the boys
unconscious as he touched
them and posed them for
nude photographs.
Vahey attempted sui-
cide in Nicaragua after
his maid stole the drive.
He survived but killed
himself on a second try,
stabbing himself to death
at age 64 and leaving hun-
dreds of former students
wondering if they had
been abused.
There were decades
of missed opportunities
to expose Vahey. An ear-
ly California sex-abuse
conviction didnt prevent
him taking a series of jobs
exposing him to children.
Colleagues and super-
visors failed to question
why he was so often with
boys overnight. And at
least twice, boys fell mys-
teriously ill while under
his care, and there was no
investigation of Vaheys
role.
In 1969, Vahey was
arrested on child sexual
abuse charges after police
said he pinched the penis-
es of eight boys, ages 7 to
9, at an Orange County,
California, high school
where he taught swim-
ming. Vahey, then 20, told
authorities he had start-
ed touching boys without
their consent at age 14.
He pleaded guilty to
a single charge of lewd
and lascivious behavior.
He received a 90-day jail
sentence and ve years
probation. After two, he
was allowed to leave the
country unsupervised in
January 1972.

Brent Harris had a feel-
ing about the 2014 Victory
Christian Academy base-
ball team.
In seven years as the
squads coach, Harris has
seen plenty of talented
players come through the
program, but he quickly
recognized something
was special about this
seasons group. Thats
why Harris wanted to be
honest with his players in
an effort to help bring the
best out of all of them.
I told them from day
one that this is by far
the most talented team I
have ever had as a coach,
Harris said. We had le-
gitimately 15 good ball-
players. I have a lot of ball-
players who would have
played on other teams.
We had a lot of bench. We
had a lot of pitching. Our
outeld was really good.

PEARL After a sluggish
offensive performance in a play-
off win Saturday afternoon, New
Hope High School baseball coach
Lee Boyd said the time would
come when the Trojans won a play-
off game based on their offense.
Two days later, the coach was
proven correct.
New Hope pounded out 19 hits
in a 14-1, ve-inning rout of Pearl
to sweep the Mississippi High
School Activities Association sec-
ond-round North State Class 5A
playoff series Monday night at
Pearl Pirate Park.
We really came out ready to
go today because we didnt want
this series to last, New Hope ju-
nior Payton Lane said.We know
what kind of grind the playoffs
are after going through them last
season. We are trying to make
this as short as possible this time
around.
New Hope (28-3) will face
Region 2 rival Oxford (26-8) in
the North State championship
series, which begins Thursday
in New Hope. The Trojans, who
eclipsed their win total from last

PHILADELPHIA Leadoff
hitters are meant to get things going.
Hailey Lunderman took that part
of her job description to heart Mon-
day afternoon.
Coming off a three-hit effort in a
Game 1 victory against New Hope,
the junior shortstop set the tone
with a ringing triple off D.J. Sand-
ers in the bottom of the rst inning.
Three batters later, Lunderman
scored on a sun-aided double by
Kayla Robertson as part of a four-
run inning that helped propel the
Neshoba Central High School fast-
pitch softball team to a 9-2 victory
against New Hope in Game 2 of
the best-of-three Mississippi High
School Activities Association Class
5A North State title series.
The victory pushes Neshoba
Central (30-2), the defending Class
5A state champion, into the state ti-
tle series against the winner of the
South Jones-Wayne County series
this weekend at Freedom Ridge
Park in Ridgeland.
New Hope ends its season at 20-
9-1. The Lady Trojans have lost four
straight playoff series to the Lady
Rockets in slow- and fast-pitch soft-
ball dating back to 2012.

STARKVILLE Jeremey Chappelle is no
longer a member of the Mississippi State football
program.
MSU football spokesperson Bill Martin
conrmed to The Dispatch that
Chappelle, who was entering his
senior season this fall, has left the
MSU team. The wide receiver had
posted a message on Facebook
saying he was leaving the program.
Chappelle transferred in 2012
from Tyler Junior College in Ty-
ler, Texas. He chose MSU over
offers from West Virginia, Hous-
ton, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, Hawaii,
and Southern Mississippi, among others. Last
season, he only had four receptions for 45 yards.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound receiver was a three-
star recruit out of junior college by former MSU
offensive coordinator Les Koenning. Chappelle
caught eight passes for 114 yards in the 2013 Ma-
roon-White spring game, but he didnt receive
signicant playing time in the fall.
Chappelle didnt catch a pass in the spring
game last month.
With all the returning players for MSU at
wide receiver, he wasnt expected to challenge
for playing time in his nal season.
From Special Reports
STARKVILLE The No. 11 Ole Miss base-
ball team and the No. 20 Mississippi State base-
ball team each placed two nalists on the list of
candidates for the 11th-annual C Spire Ferriss
Trophy, the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame an-
nounced Monday.
Ole Miss junior outelder Auston Bouseld
and junior right-hander Chris Ellis
and MSU junior left-handers Jacob
Lindgren and Ross Mitchell make
up four of the ve nalists. Tyler
Akins from Belhaven Universitys
Tyler Akins is the other candidate.
The award is presented to the

the state of Mississippi and is cho-
sen by Mississippi college coach-
es, fans, and professional scouts
who cover Mississippi.

percent of the nal tally. Starting
at 9 a.m. today, Tuesday, fans are
encouraged to vote three times
daily for their favorite player at
csopavoting.com. The voting will
end at 5 p.m. Sunday.
The Ferriss Trophy presented

sippi baseball legend Dave Boo
Ferriss, who played for MSU and
the Boston Red Sox and was the
long-time head baseball coach at
Delta State University.

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla.
The Atlantic Coast Con-
ference football coaches
and athletic directors say
they should play at least
one major conference pro-
gram every year.
Commissioner John
Swofford announced Mon-
day during the leagues an-
nual spring meetings that
the coaches and ADs have
recommended the confer-
ence schedule remain at
eight games.
They also recom-
mended that every school
should play either Notre
Dame or a team from one
of the other four major
conferences the Big
Ten, Big 12, Southeastern,
or Pacic-12 conferences
during the regular sea-
son.
The schools faculty
athletic representatives
will vote Thursday on the
recommendation. If ap-
proved, it would take effect
in 2017.
The SEC announced a
similar scheduling policy
last month that will take
effect in 2016.
Notre Dame is in the
ACC in every confer-
ence-sponsored sport ex-
cept football. As part of
their agreement with the
league, the Fighting Irish
will play four ACC teams
this season, six in 2015,
and ve every year after
that.
Most ACC teams al-
ready play at least one ma-
jor-conference opponent
in most seasons, including
Clemson (South Carolina),
Florida State (Florida),
Louisville (Kentucky) and
Georgia Tech (Georgia).
This year, only Wake
Forest and North Carolina
State do not have Notre
Dame or a non-ACC ma-
jor-conference opponent
on the schedule. Last year,
Duke joined the Wolfpack
and Demon Deacons in not
playing any such non-con-
ference games.
n Ole Miss OL Golson will
transfer to Auburn: At Oxford, Ole Miss
sophomore offensive lineman Austin Gol-
son will transfer to Auburn.
The school released a statement from
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze on Monday
saying the 6-foot-5, 309-pound Golson
has decided to move closer to his family
and is choosing to walk on at Auburn, fol-
lowing normal transfer rules.
Golson said last month that he was
considering transferring closer to his
home in Prattville, Alabama, because
both of his grandfathers were sick. He was
expected to be the Rebels starting right
tackle this fall after playing in 12 games
last season.
Golson was part of the Rebels prized
2013 recruiting class that included defen-
sive end Robert Nkemdiche, offensive
tackle Laremy Tunsil, safety Tony Connor
and receiver Laquon Treadwell.
n At Indianapolis, the NCAAs next
big challenge could come from federal
lawmakers.
A U.S. senate committee sent a letter
to NCAA President Mark Emmert urging
the governing body and college and uni-
versity leaders to provide athletes with
greater protection from potential exploita-
tion on college campuses. The letter,
obtained by The Associated Press on
Monday, called on Emmert and member
schools to act.
We are concerned with the vitality
and integrity of amateur sports and the
welfare of student-athletes, the letter
reads. In particular, we are concerned
that insufficient oversight exists to ensure
that the NCAA and its member institutions
are taking adequate steps to protect stu-
dent-athletes from exploitation.
The NCAA has not yet commented
on the letter.
n Tennessee linebacker
Reeves-Maybin shot in arm: At Clarks-
ville, Tenn., Tennessee linebacker Jalen
Reeves-Maybin was shot in the arm
during an early Sunday morning incident
in his hometown, but school officials say
he wasnt seriously injured.
Clarksville police say they were re-
sponding to reports of shots being fired
at a party on Sunday at 2:45 a.m. when
Reeves-Maybin said he was standing in
the street and someone started shooting
and he then felt a sharp pain in his arm.
Reeves-Maybin told police he didnt see
who fired the shots. Reeves-Maybin, who
is 19 years old, was treated and released
from Gateway Medical Center.
Tennessee athletic department
spokesman Jimmy Stanton said
Reeves-Maybin didnt require stitches and
was attending class in Knoxville on Mon-
day. Stanton said Reeves-Maybin was
grazed by a stray bullet.

STARKVILLE In
a continued effort to add
competitiveness to his
teams non-conference
schedule, Mississippi
State mens basketball
coach Rick Ray on Mon-
day announced another
home-and-home deal with
Florida State.
Ray, the Bulldogs
third-year coach, an-
nounced on Twitter that
MSU will play FSU on Jan.
2, 2015, at Humphrey Col-
iseum. MSU will return
the game the following
year in Tallahassee, Flor-
ida.
Happy to announce we
have scheduled a home &
home w/ Florida State,
Ray wrote on Twitter.
FSU will be in The Hump
on Jan. 2! We go to FSU in
2015-16.
Florida State, coached
by former NBA coach
Leonard Hamilton, went
22-14 last season and
reached the seminals of
the National Invitational
Tournament before losing
to eventual champion Min-
nesota. The Seminoles,
who will welcome Phil
Coker, a four-star recruit
according to ESPN.com,
also will return several
key pieces from last sea-
son, including sophomore
guard Aaron Thomas, the
teams leading scorer at
14.8 points per game.
The programs have split
eight games. The most re-
cent was an 86-71 victory
for MSU in Starkville in
the 2006 NIT. FSU is 2-0
against MSU at home.
The announcement
comes less than a month
after MSU announced a
home-and-home deal with
Oregon State. MSU will
play Dec. 15, 2014, in Cor-
vallis, Oregon.
The matchups against
FSU and OSU, both mem-
bers of Power 5 confer-
ences, gure to help MSU
improve the strength of its
non-conference schedule.
Last season, MSU had the
easiest non-conference
strength of schedule in
the country, according to
Ken Pomeroys college
basketball rating system.
The Southeastern Con-
ference has been working
to get its mens basket-
ball teams to improve the
strength of their non-con-
ference schedules. In
2013, the SEC hired con-
sultant Greg Shaheen to
assist schools with sched-
uling issues.
Were going to make
sure were playing the
kind of schedules that
will position us to put the
number of teams in the
(NCAA) tournament that
we have traditionally over
the years, SEC commis-
sioner Mike Slive said in
2013 when Shaheen was
hired.
n Judge denies NCAA motion in
OBannon lawsuit: The judge in former
UCLA basketball star Ed OBannons an-
titrust lawsuit on Monday denied a motion
filed by the NCAA as part of a bid to delay
the scheduled start of the trial next month
in federal court.
U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken
ruled against the NCAA in a motion that
questioned her earlier decision on what
the NCAA can use as a defense in a case
that has the potential to drastically alter
the way college sports are regulated.
The ruling involved one of the four
motions the NCAA has filed in an effort
to delay the trial over compensation for
athletes for playing major sports that
generate billions of dollars in revenue for
the NCAA and its member schools. The
other motions are still pending before
Wilkens court in Oakland, California.
OBannon and a group of other for-
mer athletes claim in their suit that the
NCAA is violating antitrust laws by limit-
ing what athletes can receive for playing
major college football and basketball
while at the same time selling television
rights to the games and likenesses of
athletes to video game manufacturers.
The trial is scheduled to begin June 9.
In her latest ruling, Wilken denied the
NCAAs motion to reconsider an earlier
decision that said the organization can-
not use as a defense its contention that
not paying players is permissible be-
cause schools use money generated by
the major sports to pay for other sports
and womens sports.

SAN FRANCISCO Tim Lincecum rare-
ly acknowledges the cheering crowd when he
walks off the mound, though the support of
41,000 when he made his exit Monday night
meant plenty.
Lincecum struck out 11 in his best start
of the year, Tyler Colvin backed him with a
home run and go-ahead, two-run triple in the
seventh inning and the San Francisco Giants
beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on Monday night.
Lincecum (3-2) left to a roaring standing
ovation after pitching a season-high 7 2/3 in-
nings in his rst start of eight getting past the
sixth.
The result today was the best of any game
Ive had so far, Lincecum said. Its pretty
special here every time these guys give you
something like that. Im not one to be the
big acknowledger of something like that, its
kind of hard for me, but I denitely take it in
and denitely appreciate it.
B.J. Upton hit a tying solo homer in the
fth, then was caught stealing on replay re-

LOS ANGELES An interview that was
supposed to be an attempt at rehabilitation in-
stead had Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald
Sterling facing fresh rebukes as he went from
apologizing for recent racist remarks to slam-
ming Magic Johnson, repeatedly bringing up
the ex-NBA stars HIV status and calling him
an unt role model for children.
Hes got AIDS! Sterling said loudly at one
point in the interview, cutting off CNNs An-
derson Cooper as the interviewer attempted to
cite Johnsons accomplishments after Sterling
asked, What has he done, big Magic Johnson,
what has he done?
The comments earned Sterling quick con-
demnation from the league that was already
trying to rid itself of the owner.
Commissioner Adam Silver, who gave Ster-
ling a lifetime ban and $2.5 million ne two
weeks ago, issued a statement saying, while
Magic Johnson doesnt need me to, I feel com-
pelled on behalf of the NBA family to apologize
to him that he continues to be dragged into this
situation and be degraded by such a malicious
and personal attack.
The NBA Board of Governors is continuing
with its process to remove Mr. Sterling as expe-
ditiously as possible, the commissioner added.

Continued from Page 1B
great things, New Hope coach
Tabitha Beard said. I guess what
we never could do in the middle
of all of that was put a whole game
together against them. I hate it for
the older girls. It breaks my heart.
I dont want that to be what they
remember. When they look back, I
want them to remember how far we
made it, not Neshoba Central.
With Sanders and inelder Kait-
lin Bradley leading a ve-player
senior class, New Hope came to-
gether with a roster packed with
young and inexperienced players.
The team fought back from a loss
to Lewisburg in Game 1 to win that
best-of-three series and then swept
Germantown to advance to the
North State title series. Although
New Hope came up short of re-
turning to the state championship
round (it lost to Wayne County in
2012), Beard hopes the end of the
2014 season serves as a beginning
for a new group of players who
will be charged with maintaining
the schools softball tradition. The
2014-15 squad gures to have no
seniors.
I was proud of them for the way
they stepped up and played defense
and came to the plate, Beard said.
I felt like they came to the plate
with a little more condence at the
end and put the ball in play.
Mackenzie Harvey came on in
relief of Sanders and allowed two
hits and one walk in the nal 2 2/3
innings. Beard praised the perfor-
mance of the sophomore, who typ-
ically plays catcher. She also cred-
ited Sanders for shouldering a big
load this season and against Nesho-
ba Central.
Unfair so, we put a lot on D.J.,
Beard said. That is so unfair to do
that. She felt like she was in a sit-
uation where she couldnt win. She
threw strikes and they hit it and we
didnt play defense behind her. If
she didnt, they walked. It was kind
of that situation, and I think that
took the air out of us a little bit. I
was proud they got it back.
Lunderman, who has given a
verbal commitment to play softball
at Ole Miss, struck out in her rst
at-bat against Sanders on Saturday.
She then proved extremely difcult
to get out, rapping a single, single,
and triple in Neshoba Centrals 10-1
victory at Lady Trojan Field. She
was just as pesky Monday, getting
two hits and forcing center elder
R.J. James to make a ne running
catch to retire her in the sixth. She
said the rst inning uprising was
important to give the Lady Rockets
the momentum so they could close
the series early. Last season, Sand-
ers threw a no-hitter in a 5-2 victory
in Game 1 in Philadelphia, only to
see Neshoba central rally for two
victories in Columbus en route to
the state title.
I feel like I set the tone for the
game, said Lunderman, a speedy
left-handed hitter. If I get a hit, ev-
erybody else will get a hit. If I dont,
it will be a long game.
Neshoba Central tacked on two
more runs in the second and three
more runs in the fourth. The nal
three runs knocked Sanders out of
the game. Even though the Lady
Rockets had only ve hits, they cap-
italized on eight walks and two hit
batters by Sanders. Seventh-grader
Aspen Wesley did her part by hold-
ing New Hope to two hits and strik-
ing out 10. On Saturday, Wesley
surrendered ve hits and struck out
13. In Game 2, Alex Meltons two-
run single down the right-eld line
in the fourth accounted for the Lady
Trojans scoring. James reached on
an ineld single in the seventh for
the only other hit. Wesley also had
a bases-loaded walk in the second
and a two-run single in the fourth.
She has meant a lot to the team,
Lunderman said of Wesley. She
has a bunch of strikeouts almost ev-
ery game. She had 17 against Lake
Cormorant, so we only had to get
four outs. That helps a lot.
Lunderman said Wesleys cur-
veball makes her so difcult to hit
against. Wesley also showed an
ability to hit her spots, even though
she walked three and hit a batter
Monday. Neshoba Central coach
Trae Embry said he will take out-
ings like the one Wesley delivered
every day.
Even if it wasnt 13 strikeouts, a
lot of games you dont get 10 strike-
outs, Embry said. Well take that
all day. If we can get that in the next
two games, we feel like we have a
chance.
Embry arrived at Neshoba Cen-
tral in the summer of 2012 after run-
ning the slow- and fast-pitch softball
programs at Eupora High for 12
years. He led Eupora to fast-pitch
state championships in 2005, 2006,
and 2007 and his slow-pitch titles in
2005 and 2007. At Neshoba Central,
Embry has guided the slow-pitch
team to state titles the past two sea-
sons. He said his goal in coming to
Philadelphia was to build a program
that had the tradition of a program
like New Hope, which has won 14
state titles in slow-pitch softball.
Lunderman said Embry has
helped the Lady Rockets believe
they can play with the best teams in
the state.
We have always wanted to win
one, Lunderman said. When he
came here, it helped out a lot. He
has made us believe.
Embry said hard work has helped
the Lady Rockets grow more con-
dent. He said a solid coaching staff
and a supportive administration
has helped solidify the program.
He credits the players love for the
game, desire, and work ethic for
helping pack an outeld wall with
state championship signs. If things
hold, the lady Rockets should have
a chance this weekend to add anoth-
er one to their collection.
They have wanted it. They are
hungry, Embry said. New Hope
had (the bulls eye) forever. They
have had a great tradition. Coach
(Cary) Shepherd and coach Beard
have done a great job and won many,
many, many state championships. I
couldnt begin to tell you how many.
That is where we want to be. That is
what I tried to tell them when I took
the job. You want the bulls eye. If
you dont have the bulls eye, some-
thing is wrong.
Beard hopes her team learns
from its experience against Wesley
much like Neshoba Central learned
from facing Sanders so many times
over the years. She felt the way the
Lady Rockets hit Sanders in the two
games was the culmination of all of
the matchups against Sanders since
she was a xture in the circle as a
middle schooler.
I am not going to take away
from what coach Embry has done
with this program, Beard said.
They hit the ball well and they do
great things. Wesley is going to get
better, but were going to continue
to get better, too. We have to evolve.
I think we are at a really good start-
ing point.

Title
Education Athletic As-
sociation championship.
The title is believed to be
the rst in the history of
the baseball program.
Harris said he gave his
players his assessment
about halfway through
the season. He hoped the
Eagles would respond and
believe in themselves. He
said the players answered
the call by doing extra
work before or after prac-
tice. The results came
through at the end of the
season when the teams
hitting fueled the run to
the championship.
It really seemed to
motivate them and to chal-
lenge them, Harris said.
I told them you cant be
a leader if you dont show
it rst. If youre out there
busting your tail, it makes
everybody else bust their
tail. That was the big dif-
ference I saw over the
year. Everybody just re-
ally started stepping up,
from senior and juniors
all the way down to the
younger guys.
In addition to having
the most talented team
he has had, Harris said
leadership was a crucial
element. He said the lead-
ership pushed the team
over the top.
Bradford said Harris
comment made the team
believe it could realize its
potential and that it had to
push harder to reach its
goal. He said he wasnt ex-
pecting Harris to praise
the team like that, espe-
cially given the players
who had come before
him. He said team chem-
istry helped the players
come together.
On Friday, we just
took care of business and
had a lot of hits, said
Harris, who returned the
entire team from last sea-
son. The championship
game was tied in the fth
inning. We scored three
runs in the bottom of the
fth and six runs in the
bottom of the sixth.
Victory Christian (15-
3) suffered all of its losses
early in the season, fall-
ing to Tuscaloosa Chris-
tian, Hebron Christian
(2-1), and Oak Hill Acad-
emy (12-6) in March. The
team regrouped to beat
Hebron Christian 7-1 on
March 25. That victory
was the rst of 14 in a row
to close the season. Along
the way, Harris words of
encouragement served as
motivation for a team led
by seniors Austin Rich-
ardson, Charlie Price,
Taylor Frye, Adam Young,
and Hunter Austin.
Through 14 games,
Young was one of four
regulars to hit better than
.400. At .405, Young was
second on the team in
runs with 18. Sophomore
Chase Austin (.404), ju-
nior Shane Bradford (.417,
second on team with 19
RBIs), and junior Antho-
ny Sharp (.538) paced the
offense. Sharp led the Ea-
gles with 28 hits, 21 runs,
six doubles, and 11 stolen
bases.
Sharp, who has been
a part of winning a title
with the schools boys
basketball team, said the
Eagles were motivated
after coming up short in
football and in baseball
in previous years. He said
the baseball title was even
sweeter because it is the
programs rst and it al-
lowed the current group
of players to have a hand
in a title that they can call
their own.
There has been a lot
of focus on our athlet-
ic success here before,
but we have never really
been a part of that, Sharp
said. Not only were we
the team to beat, but I
think we had desperation
on our side. Our seniors
have never won a varsity
championship. They real-
ly wanted to get one. As
much notoriety as peo-
ple have got around here
since I started coming
here, we havent had a lot
of championship success.
We were hungry for that
championship.
In the ACEAA tour-
nament, Sharp (9-0, 1.76
ERA) earned the victory
in the mercy-rule short-
ened game against Cone-
cuh Springs Christian.
Bradford (5-1, 1.67) came
back Saturday to close
the title run. The Eagles
rallied in the nal two
innings after New Life
Christian scored one run
in the fth to tie the game
at 1-all.
It was nerve-wrack-
ing, Bradford said of the
nal game. I didnt really
feel safe or OK until after
he hit that last pop up. I
just knew Adam was go-
ing to catch it. That one
had the best ending.
Hunter Austin, Brad-
ford, and Young were
named to the all-tourna-
ment team, while Sharp
was named the tourna-
ments MVP. Austin said
the players kept Har-
ris words in the back
of their minds and that
they helped keep them
focused. He recalls the
words pepped the team
up after a slow start to the
season. By the time the
tournament arrived, Aus-
tin said the team had the
right mind-set.
It denitely was the
way I wanted to go out,
Austin said. Having the
underclassmen back us
up and work their hard-
est, too, helped.
Other team members
are: Will Jones, Lane
Euer, Brady Scarbrough,
David Heaton, Cody An-
thony, Cade Stacy, Cade
Rollins, Chase Gore
(lled in at shortstop and
third base), Beau Riley,
Cody Bolton, Will Porter,
Montrell Neal, Reed Ful-
gham, and Kenny Collier.

stage of the game. Braves
manager Fredi Gonzalez
said afterward they got
the call right.
I still thought I was
safe, Upton said. I dont
know what evidence they
had to overturn it.
San Francisco, com-
ing off a 7-3 road trip to
Atlanta, Pittsburgh and
Los Angeles, won for the
sixth time in seven home
games. Atlanta had won
three in a row.
Lincecum struck out
10 or more for the 36th
time in his career and
rst since last July 28
against the Cubs. He re-
tired Chris Johnson on a
swinging strikeout to end
the sixth with runners on
rst and second.
It was vintage Tim-
my the way he had good
secondary pitches going
along with his fastball,
Bochy said. A great start
and also a great ovation. ...
It was nice to see him get
that ovation. Im sure he
appreciated it very much.
Promoted from Tri-
ple-A on Saturday, Colvin
splashed a solo homer
into McCovey Cove be-
yond the right-eld arcade
in the second the 65th
Giants homer to reach the
water. Brandon Crawford
had the other this season,
on April 13 against Colo-
rado.
My rst at-bat at
home, its a great feeling
right there, Colvin said.
Giants leadoff man An-
gel Pagan produced his
fourth three-hit game of
the season.
Javier Lopez surren-
dered Freddie Freemans
ninth-inning splash ho-
mer, then Sergio Romo
nished for his 13th save.
It marked the rst game
with two splash homers
since Barry Bonds did
it by himself on May 18,
2002.
Gavin Floyd (0-1) re-
mained winless after his
second start of 2014.
Floyd struck out eight
in 6 1/3 innings in his rst
outing against the Giants
since 2008. The right-
hander was 2-0 against
the Giants and won in his
only previous appearance
at AT&T Park while with
the White Sox.
Their pitcher was put-
ting up zeroes so I knew
I had to keep executing
and keep us in the game.
Things didnt go our way
in the seventh inning,
Floyd said. I feel like Im
building off of each time I
got out there.
Braves left elder Jus-
tin Upton returned after
being held out Sunday.
He bruised his lower back
Saturday when hit by a
pitch from Chicagos Jeff
Samardzija.
NOTES: The Braves
dont have to face for-
mer Atlanta pitcher Tim
Hudson this series, and
thats ne with Gonzalez.
Its not all bad. Id like
to say hi to him and hug
him, Gonzalez said. ...
Giants 1B Brandon Belt
has opted to undergo sur-
gery on his broken left
thumb to have two pins
inserted. The procedure
will be performed by Dr.
Tim McAdams on Tues-
day at Stanford. Michael
Morse made his rst

MSU football
Four MSU players sign free
agent contracts
Four former MSU play-
ers signed free agent con-
tracts hours after not being
selected in the 2014 NFL
draft.
Tailback LaDarius Per-
kins, defensive end Denico
Autry, linebacker Deontae
Skinner, and safety Nickoe
Whitley will attend NFL
training camps this sum-
mer. Perkins and Autry
signed with the Green Bay
Packers, while Skinner
joined the New England Pa-
triots and Nickoe Whitley
agreed to a contract with
the Cleveland Browns.
Perkins nished second
behind quarterback Dak
Prescott with 542 rush-
ing yards last season. The
highlight to his college ca-
reer was the 2010 Egg Bowl
game at Ole Miss when he
led the Bulldogs to victory
with 319 all-purpose yards,
which at the time was the
second most productive
game in school history.
Autry will join Perkins
in Green Bay after he spent
two years at East Mississip-
pi Community College and
two years starting at MSU.
After playing most of his
senior season with a torn
anterior cruciate ligament,
Whitley leaves MSU with
15 interceptions. When his
collegiate career ended, no
active Football Bowl Sub-
division player had more
interceptions.
Skinner, a former Nox-
ubee County High School
standout, was a three-year
starter with the Bulldogs.
Last season, he played in 11
games and nished with 64
tackles.

Lindgren (4-1) leads
MSU with a 1.02 ERA and
a .125 opponent batting
average. In SEC games,
the left-hander is rst in
the SEC in ERA (0.60),
opponent batting average
(.115), fewest hits allowed
(12), fewest runs allowed
(four), and fewest earned
runs allowed (two). On
Monday, Lindgren the
45th-best prospect in the
2014 Major League Base-
ball draft, the only player
from Mississippi in the
top 50. He leads the coun-
try with 16.8 strikeouts
per nine innings.
Mitchell has been
named SEC Pitcher of
the Week three times
this season. The Smyrna,
Tenn., native leads the
SEC in innings pitched
(95 2/3), ranks fth in the
SEC in ERA (1.98), is tied

n No. 19 Alabama
travels to Jacksonville
State: At Jacksonville,
Ala., After splitting a
weather shortened South-
eastern Conference se-
ries last weekend at LSU,
Alabama Crimson Tide
(32-19) will take on Jack-
sonville State (29-21) in
its nal non-conference
game of the regular sea-
son at 6 tonight at Rudy
Abbott Field. Fresh-
man right-hander Nick
Eicholtz (3-1, 2.48 ERA)
is scheduled to start for
Alabama.
New Hope
winning streak started
after a 5-1 home loss to
Oxford on March 28.
We did everything
offensively, and that is a
good sign, Boyd said.
You take no playoff win
for granted, so we were
looking forward to play-
ing again after Saturday.
You could tell after the
rst inning it was going
to be a different kind of
offensive night.
New Hope was limited
to three hits in Saturday
in a 3-0 win. The Trojans
bettered that mark seven
batters into Mondays -
nale. In each game, New
Hope led 3-0 after one
inning. On Saturday, that
was the ending. On Mon-
day, it was the beginning.
There is no doubt we
didnt have our best offen-
sive game Saturday, New
Hope senior shortstop
Will Golsan said. The
thing about this team is
we can always shrug off a
game like that and bounce
back. We were really de-
termined to come out and
start this game strong be-
cause we wanted to take
them out of it early.
New Hope did just that.
The Trojans had three
runs (on four hits) in the
rst, three runs (again on
four hits) in the second,
three runs (on ve hits)
in the third, and ve runs
(again on ve hits) in the
fourth.
Pearl (18-13) had the
good fortunate of turning
two spectacular plays to
end two innings or the
separation could have
been much worse. After
managing three hits off
Josh Stillman in the se-
ries opener, the Pirates
only garnered two hits
off J.C. Redden, Lane, and
Taylor Stafford.
Redden threw three
innings of no-hit baseball
(with one unearned run).
Lane was touched for both
hits back-to-back in the
fourth. Stafford struck out
the side in the fth.
The pitchers threw
strikes, Boyd said. The
biggest key to our post-
season success has been
pitchers throwing strikes.
We have challenged hit-
ters. Offensively, we have
done what we have need-
ed to do to win games.
New Hopes score
sheet had lots of leaders
Monday night.
Golsan had a double,
two singles, and two RBIs.
Rooke Coleman had three
hits. Lane had a double,
two singles, and two RBIs.
Stillman had a single, dou-
ble, and four RBIs. Wells
Davis had two singles and
two RBIs. Redden had two
singles. Parker Earhart
had two singles and an
RBI, and Taylor Stafford
and Jake Hollis had a sin-
gle and RBI.
We really needed the
condence lift after Sat-
urday, Lane said. You
could tell during pregame
our guys were really anx-
ious to get to the plate and
get some things started.
Once we had a couple of
hits early, it carried over
throughout the team.
Davis had a two-run
single in the rst, while
Lane chased starting
pitcher Clay Pittman with
a similar hit in the second.
The biggest blow came in
the third when Stillman
cleared the bases with a
three-run double to the
outeld gap.
For New Hope, the
playoff mark is 4-0. How-
ever, this was the rst
postseason win by the
run rule. A year ago, the
Trojans were taken to the
brink a couple of times
before securing their
rst state championship
in 10 years. This season,
no such scare has taken
place yet.
Its a totally different
mind-set this year be-
cause we have been there
before, Golsan said. I
think we know when it is
time to go now. We have a
different condence level
after winning last season.
It has made the desire
stronger to show we can
do it again.
A region rival is still
never a good thing in
the postseason. Oxford
coaches and players
scouted the New Hope
game Monday night since
its playoff series ended
Saturday in two games.
Its a short week since
we turn around and go
again Thursday, Boyd
said. To say the kids are
excited about this oppor-
tunity would be an under-
statement.

College Baseball
UCLA coach John Savage proba-
bly is the only person left in college
baseball who believes the Bruins
have a chance to make the NCAA
tournament and defend their national
championship.
I might be dreaming, Savage
said Monday after returning to Los
Angeles from Oregon State, where
his team was swept over the weekend.
The Bruins (23-25-1, 10-14) are
1-9-1 in their last 11 games and head
into the nal two weekends of the
regular season in eighth place in the
Pac-12 and with an RPI in the 100s.
Their remaining three-game series
are at home against third-place Ore-
gon and at second-place Washington,
a consensus top-ve team.
Were 10-14, but what happens
if we nish 16-14? Savage said. Its
unlikely itll happen, but lets just say
it does. Then were sitting there with
29-30 wins, so we dont feel like were
out of it. People probably think we are.
Were not in any NCAA bracket pro-
jections.
If the Bruins had a charmed exis-
tence in 2013, theyve been cursed in
2014. Last year they overcame a lack
of offense with the timely hit, dom-
inant pitching and strong defense.
This year theyve been unable to over-
come a run of injuries that have kept
right elder Eric Filia and shortstop
Kevin Kramer out, limited second
baseman Kevin Williams to the desig-
nated hitters role, and forced center
elder Brian Carroll and third base-
man Chris Keck to miss time. Star
reliever David Berg hasnt pitched for
the better part of a month because of
a bicep strain.
A look around the country:
n ROAD WARRIORS: ACC-leading Miamis
sweep of Duke marked its fourth straight conference
road sweep and extended the Hurricanes nation-best
road winning streak to 15 games. The Hurricanes (38-
14, 22-5) won their 12th one-run game with Sundays
4-3 victory. Miami has won 25 of its last 27.
nPOKES ON ROLL: Oklahoma State (38-13, 16-
5) goes into the last week of the Big 12s regular season
with a one-game lead over TCU. The Cowboys, who
have won nine straight, defeated Kansas State 17-5
Sunday in a game shortened to seven innings by the
mercy rule. Their 17 runs tied a season high and were
their most against a Big 12 opponent since they put up
19 against Nebraska in 2008.
nBIG TEN CHAMPS: Indiana clinched a share of
its second straight Big Ten regular-season champion-
ship with its 9-2 win over Penn State on Sunday. The
Hoosiers (35-12, 19-2) set a school record for regu-
lar-season conference wins. Sam Travis homered in
each of the three games against the Nittany Lions and
leads the Big Ten with 10.
Savage isnt writing off UCLAs season yet

FAMILY CIRCUS
D
EAR ABBY:
As a
licensed
psychotherapist
who has worked
with both victims
and perpetrators
of sexual abuse
over the past 25
years, I would
like to respond to
Stunned in the
City (Jan. 22),
who found her
co-workers name
on a website for
registered sex
offenders.
Registered
sex offenders have been
convicted and incarcerated for
their crimes as well as serving
a probationary period upon
release. However, unlike other
criminal offenses, they never
nish serving their time
both in the areas of WHERE
they can live and HOW they
can live (employment). They
continue to serve a sentence
that can never be completed
and are stigmatized for the
rest of their lives.
The reason for this is
because of a one-size-ts-all
approach to punishment, be it
a one-time offender or a serial
rapist. Most
sexual abus-
ers are either
members of the
family or a close
family friend, and
most are never
reported. Only a
small percentage
of registered
offenders pose
a danger and
should be under
surveillance. The
others should be
allowed a second
chance to contin-
ue with their lives
without undue
harassment.
If Stunned reports her
co-worker to her employer, she
will jeopardize his livelihood,
which he needs to redeem
his life. ALREADY PAID HIS
DEBT
DEAR A.P.H.D.: I received
mail from mental health pro-
fessionals, employers, parents
and people who are on the
sex offenders list regarding
Stunneds letter. All of them
stated that the range of crimes
that can add someone to the
list is very broad. The list is no
more than a STARTING point
for people to begin their own
research into public records
before telling an employer or
another person. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: For more than
20 years I have employed a
man who is a convicted sex
offender. He paid his debt to
society for having sex with a
minor when he was in his 20s.
It will haunt him for the rest of
his life.
The pictures you see
online are recent because the
authorities require updated
photos yearly. I empathize with
him because I dated a 15-year-
old when I was 19 with her
parents approval but today
it could mean jail time and a
ruined life.
There is no demarcation
between being dumb and be-
ing truly criminal, so everyone
is labeled the same. I suggest
that we all stay aware of those
labeled sexual predators, but
approach the sexual offenders
case-by-case. JUSTICE FOR
ALL

Horoscopes
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May
13). Youll love this new age
youre coming into, because
it offers more freedom. Youll
make memories with a dear
one over the next 10 weeks,
leading up to a new direction
and adventure throughout the
fall. A very practical investment
will pay off in August. Youll
build a kind of monument in
October. Pisces and Sagittarius
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 2, 13, 5, 14 and
26.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Saying the smart thing will take
a bit of planning. Think about
what you want to express, and
practice different approaches.
In the end, youll get it right
because you took the time to
work it out.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The type of person who worries
a lot will provide valuable
wisdom and sound advice, but
youll have to listen past a lot
of anxious vibes to get there.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Surely youve felt forces of
protection and good will around
you. Its as though you have
your own personal archangel
assigned only to you and
maybe you do.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Lately, it seems like the
minute you think you know who
you are or arent, you dont.
Its because youre so engaged
with the world, always growing
and changing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Youll be the beneciary of a
small but surprising twist of
fate. This is the rst of many
signs that your luck is owing
in a very positive way. The
more you notice this the truer it
becomes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Sometimes when your dreams
come true it happens in a way
that you dont recognize at
rst. What seems negative in
the moment will actually turn
out to be, in the end, a stroke
of good luck.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Theres an art to goal setting.
You want to stretch into excit-
ing territory, but not so far into
it that your aims are unrea-
sonable. Youll meet someone
who gives you a great gauge for
whats possible.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You thought you were
doing all you could to make
a relationship work, but new
developments help you see a
new and much better way. Past
efforts will seem minimal.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Youre warm and en-
gaging, and you will break down
barriers to make a connection
with others. People think youre
naturally socially aware, but the
truth is that you make an effort
to be so.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Your heart will be open to
the feelings that jump out of
the television, your neighbor,
the music on your radio and
more. Since youll be much
more sensitive than usual, limit
your exposure to potentially
negative environments.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). If you nd yourself pre-
tending to be someone other
than who youve been before,
youre just responding to a sub-
tle but very real change in your
environment. More will come to
light tomorrow.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Follow the instructions as
best you can. They may not be
as clear as you wish they were,
nor will they t your situation
perfectly, but they will save you
a whole lot of time and money.
Basketball: NBA Playoffs
James ties playoff career high in win vs. Nets; Trail Blazers survive
NEW YORK LeBron
James tied his playoff career
high with 49 points, Chris Bosh
made the tiebreaking 3-pointer
with 57 seconds left, and the
Miami Heat beat the Brooklyn
Nets 102-96 on Monday night
for a 3-1 lead in the Eastern
Conference seminals.
James carried the Heat near-
ly the entire way until Bosh hit
the shot that put Miami ahead
for good. Ray Allen followed
with four free throws and James
nished it off with one more,
putting the Heat in position to
wrap it up at home Wednesday
in Game 5.
James was 16 of 24 from the
eld and 14 of 19 from the free
throw line in matching the 49
points he scored for Cleveland
against Orlando in the 2009
Eastern Conference nals. He
missed his second free throw
with 1.1 seconds left, muttering
to himself after it fell out.
Joe Johnson scored 18 points
for the Nets.
n Trail Blazers 103, Spurs
92: At Portland, Oregon, Da-
mian Lillard scored 25 points
and the Portland Trail Blazers
staved off elimination in the
Western Conference seminals
with a 103-92 victory over the
San Antonio Spurs on Monday
night.
Nicolas Batum had 14 points,
14 rebounds and eight assists to
cut San Antonios advantage in
the series to 3-1.
Portland held Tony Parker
to 14 points after he had scored
29 points or more in three of his
last four playoff games. Coach
Gregg Popovich sat Parker and
Tim Duncan after Portland
built a 20-point lead in the nal
quarter.
The Spurs are looking to
head to the conference nals
for the third straight season.
Game 5 is Wednesday night
in San Antonio.
No team has lost a sev-
en-game NBA playoff series af-
ter going up 3-0.
n Cavaliers re coach Mike
Brown again: At Cleveland,
Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan
Gilbert felt he made a big mis-
take when he red Mike Brown
as his coach in 2010.
That didnt stop him from do-
ing it again.
Browns second shot with
the Cavs ended Monday after
one just one season as Gilbert
dismissed the only Cleveland
coach who has ever made it to
the NBA nals.
Brown had been re-hired last
April by Gilbert, who regretted
dismissing him four years ear-
lier. While the Cavs record im-
proved and they made strides
defensively under Brown this
season, the club missed the
playoffs again and Gilbert de-
cided it was time to make an-
other change.
This is a very tough busi-
ness, Gilbert said in a state-
ment. It pains all of us here
that we needed to make the
difcult decision of releasing
Mike Brown. Mike worked
hard over this last season to
move our team in the right di-
rection. Although, there was
some progress from our nish
over the few prior seasons, we
believe we need to head in a dif-
ferent direction. We wish Mike
and his family nothing but the
best.
In addition to ring Brown,
Gilbert announced hes retain-
ing David Grifn as the clubs
full-time general manager.
Grifn had been the interim
GM since Feb. 6, when Gilbert
red Chris Grant one day after
the Cavs lost to a Los Angeles
Lakers team which nished the
game with just ve eligible play-
ers.
