Golden Triangle Develop-
ment Link offcials will be on the
agenda for the next county and
city board meetings seeking a
tax increment fnancing agree-
ment associated with a potential
retail development in Columbus.
Link CEO Joe Max Higgins
confrmed the upcoming re-
quest during a quarterly meet-
ing of the tri-county economic
development consortium.
Details on the development
will be scarce un-
til offcials can
broach discussion
on the project with
elected offcials,
Higgins said, but
approval by gov-
erning boards
would lead to the
facility being in operation late
next year. At that time, the loca-
tion, fnancial details of the TIF
and potential number of jobs the
arrangement could bring would
be discussed, Higgins said.
This project is 50,000 square
feet of retail(which) is in most
everybodys book pretty sub-
stantial, Higgins said. Were
real excited about that.
Tax increment fnancing uses
future gains in taxes to subsi-
dize developments or facility im-
provements. A similar arrange-
ment was approved by Starkville
aldermen in April as a funding
mechanism for infrastructure
projects associated with the
Mill, a development involving
the transformation of MSUs
Cooley Building into a confer-
ence center, construction of a
motel and establishment of other
mixed-use business parcels.
Supervisors are expected to
learn more about the project in
LINK to seek tax incentive deal for retail development

Brooks pays
county for
travel expense
supervisor: Payment is
not admission of guilt
BY NATHAN GREGORY
ngregory@cdispatch.com
A day after Lown-
des County received
a Mississippi attorney
general opinion stat-
ing a supervisor owing
money to the county
could not receive his
salary until he paid up,
Leroy Brooks cut the
county a check. For
$199.
Brooks sent the
payment to county
administrator Ralph
Billingsley today. He
attached to it a note
saying the payment
is not an acknowl-
edgement of travel
expense violations.
He also said the attor-
neys general opinion
was not based on all
the facts in play and
he would address the
matter with the AG
offce.
Its not over,
Brooks said after
bringing a copy of the
letter to The Dispatch this morning.
County board president Harry
Sanders requested the AG offce look
into the issue in August. The board
received an AG opinion this week.
Sanders request was in response
to a July 31 board fnding that Brooks
spent $199 for lodging and meals
a day prior to a June conference in
Biloxi that Brooks attended. Brooks
arrived in Biloxi on June 16. A recep-
tion was held June 17 and the confer-
ence was June 18-20. Brooks left the
Emboldened House GOP presses fght on Obamacare
BY DONNA CASSATA
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON Emboldened con-
servatives who forced House Republican
leaders to push a stopgap spending bill
that unravels President Barack Obamas
health care law are digging in for a long
fght, determined to stop Obamacare
before the frst individual signs up in less
than two weeks.
Just ask the two lawmakers one a
frst-term businessman from North Car-
olina, the other a self-described North
Georgia country boy elected just months
after Obama signed the law who
spurred the rank and fle to pressure the
leadership on the tea partys signature
issue.
Our resolve on this
is unrelenting, said Rep.
Mark Meadows, whose let-
ter in July to House Speak-
er John Boehner, R-Ohio,
and Majority Leader Eric
Cantor, R-Va., called for
collaboration to defund
one of the largest grievances in our time
and attracted 79 Republicans.

First lady urges marketing
of healthy food to kids
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON Mi-
chelle Obama used the
power of her bully pulpit
Wednesday to push food
companies and television
broadcasters to do more
to promote healthier foods
to children and to do it
faster.
Research shows food
marketing is a leading
cause of childhood obe-
sity because the ads and
promotions lead impres-
sionable kids to then pes-
ter their parents to eat what
they saw on TV, consumer
advocates say.
The frst lady cited
a cultural shift taking
place in Americas eating
habits, and highlighted as
examples salad bars that
are now in many school
lunchrooms and kids
restaurant menus that of-
fer such items as broccoli
and whole-wheat pasta.
But while she said there
has been progress, includ-
ing slight reductions in
childhood obesity rates in
a few states and cities, Mrs.
Obama noted that we
clearly have much more
work to do when 1 in 3
kids in the U.S. is on track
to develop diabetes.
Im here today with
one simple request and
that is to do even more
and move even faster to
market responsibly to our
kids, the frst lady said as
she opened the frst White
House summit on the is-
sue.

LAS VEGAS He was the sec-
ond man to beat Muhammad Ali,
breaking Alis jaw and sending him
to the hospital in their 1973 heavy-
weight fght.
Ken Norton frustrated Ali three
times in all, including their fnal
bout at Yankee Stadium where he
was sure he had beaten him once
again.
Norton, who died Wednesday at
the age of 70, lost that fght for the
heavyweight title. But he was for-
ever linked to Ali for the 39 rounds
they fought over three fghts, with
very little separating one man from
the other in the ring.
Kenny was a good, good fght-
er. He beat a lot of guys, said Ed
Schuyler Jr., who covered many of
Nortons fghts for The Associated
Press. He gave Ali fts because Ali
let him fght coming forward in-
stead of making him back up.
Norton is the only heavyweight
champion never to win the title in
the ring, and boxing fans still talk
about the bruising battle he waged
with Larry Holmes for the title in
1978. But it was his frst fght with
Ali that made the former Marine a
big name and the two fghts that fol-
lowed that were his real legacy.
Few gave Norton, who pos-
sessed a muscular, sculpted body,
much of a chance against Ali in their
frst meeting, held at the Sports
Arena in San Diego, where Norton
lived. But his awkward style and
close-in pressing tactics confused
Ali, who fought in pain after his jaw
was broken.
Former heavyweight champion Norton dies
ex-Marine was 70

TOKYO Former
Nintendo President Hi-

the companys transition
from maker of traditional
playing cards to global vid-

Mario and Pokemon video
games, has died. He was
85.
Kyoto-based Ninten-
do said Yamauchi, who
owned the Seattle Mari-

ball club before selling it
to Nintendos U.S. unit in
2004, died Thursday of
pneumonia at a hospital in
central Japan.
Yamauchi was compa-

Nintendos global growth,
including developing the
early Family Computer

portables.
Nintendo was founded
in 1889 and made tradi-

fore venturing into video
games.
Yamauchi is survived
by Katsuhito Yamauchi,
his eldest son. The compa-
ny declined to release oth-

THE ASSocIATED PRESS
ALBANY, N.Y. For-
mer NFL offensive line-
man Brian Holloway ini-
tially thought the Twitter
photos showing young
people partying at his
familys second home in
upstate New York were
a hoax. Then he saw pic-
tures of teenagers stand-
ing on the dining room
table he bought with his
Super Bowl bonus.
Holloways rural va-
cation home was trashed
during a Labor Day week-
end party attended by
up to 400 teenagers. Hol-
loway said the partiers
caused at least $20,000
in damage, breaking win-
dows and doors, punching
holes in walls and spray-
ing graffti. He saw the
whole thing unfold live on
Twitter and now hes
using the teens own posts
to reveal
their identi-
ties and to
try to set
them on a
better path.
H o l l o -
way, who

tackle for the New En-
gland Patriots and Los An-
geles Raiders in the 1980s,
said his 19-year-old son, a
University of Southern
Florida sophomore, alert-
ed him to the party after
receiving tweets about it
the night of Aug. 31.
Holloway was at his
home in Lutz, Fla., at
the time and watched as
more tweets about the
party were posted, many
of them accompanied by
photos of young people
drinking throughout his
home in Stephentown, on
the Massachusetts border
25 miles southeast of Al-
bany.
We were getting eye-
witness reports of what
was happening while
it was happening. We
couldnt believe what
was going down, Hollo-
way told The Associated
Press.
Before he could call po-
lice, more tweets reported
that offcers had arrived,
Holloway said. The par-
tygoers scattered across
his 200-acre property,
which includes the main
house and a guest house
set amid rolling country-
side in the foothills of the
Berkshire Mountains.

NEW YORK The fu-
ture of coal is getting dark-
er.
Economic forces, pol-
lution concerns and com-
petition from cleaner fuels
are slowly nudging nations
around the globe away from
the fuel that made the in-
dustrial revolution possible.
The U.S. will burn 943
million tons of coal this
year, only about as much
as it did in 1993. Now its on
the verge of adopting pollu-
tion rules that may all but
prohibit the construction of
new coal plants. And China,
which burns 4 billion tons
of coal a year as much as
the rest of the world com-
bined is taking steps to
slow the staggering growth
of its coal consumption and
may even be approaching a
peak.
Michael Parker, a com-
modities analyst at Bern-
stein Research, calls the
shift in China the begin-
ning of the end of coal.
While global coal use is al-
most certain to grow over
the next few years and
remain an important fuel
for decades after that
coal may soon begin a long
slow decline.
Coal has been the dom-
inant fuel for power gen-
eration for a century be-
cause it is cheap, plentiful,
and easy to ship and store.
But it emits a host of pollu-
tion-forming gases and soot
particles, and double the
greenhouse gas emissions
of its closest fossil fuel com-
petitor, natural gas. Now
utilities are relying more on
natural gas to generate elec-
tricity as discoveries around
the world boost the fuels
supplies. The big, expand-
ing economies of China
and India are building more
nuclear and hydro-electric
power plants. Renewable
energy sources such as
wind and solar, while still a
small fraction of the global
energy mix, are growing
fast as they get cheaper.

hearing Wednesday.
I understand that youve got
needs, Brown said. Everyone
that comes before us has got
needs.
State revenue has grown 5 per-
cent for each of the past two years,
and leaders expect similar growth
in fscal year 2015, which starts
next July 1. Two other agencies
have requested increases of more
than 20 percent. Several have re-
quested increases of 5 percent or
less, and some are asking for de-
creases in their budgets.
Santa Cruz gave the 14-mem-
ber Joint Legislative Budget Com-
mittee few documents to support
his budget presentation, although
DPS provided documents later to
lawmakers and reporters.
During the hearing, when
Brown asked Santa Cruz to justify
the big increase, the commission-
er looked to other DPS adminis-
trators who shuffed through pa-
pers. After a long pause, Brown,
R-Columbus, cut him off: I with-
draw the ques-
tion.
Santa Cruz said
DPS wants to train
more state troop-
ers. Information
provided after the
meeting showed
DPS is requesting
$7.7 million for
trooper training, about $4 million
more for the state Crime Lab,
more than $2 million more for
the Bureau of Narcotics and an
additional $1.7 million for the Law
Enforcement Offcers Training
Academy, among other increases.
The total requested increase
for DPS is $32 million from the
general fund. The agency is
getting roughly $71 million in
the current budget year and is
requesting nearly $103 million
for fscal 2015. The state-funded
portion of Mississippis overall
budget, for everything from pris-
ons to schools to public safety, is
expected to be more than $5.8
billion.
In an email to The Associated
Press, DPS Deputy Administrator
Kenneth E. Magee said 82 of the
509 state troopers are eligible to
retire now. As of Dec. 1 this num-
ber increases to 102, he said.
He also said $2.9 million would
go to a three-year modernization
of a 20-year-old drivers license is-
suance system and database.
Magee said that for fscal year
2013, which ended this past June
30, DPS received $5.1 million less
than it needed to pay for salaries.
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves scolded
Santa Cruz for authorizing re-
alignment of some DPS salaries,
an administrative way of moving
money within a budget to give
employees bigger paychecks.
That was not a pay raise, Santa
Cruz responded. Reeves said it
was a pay raise that legislators
didnt authorize as a specifc bud-
get category.
Reeves, a Republican, said
DPS hasnt been spending money
where it should like, for exam-
ple, buying new cars for troopers
who are patrolling the highways
in old, high-mileage vehicles.
Santa Cruz told the Budget Com-
mittee that DPS bought 15 new
vehicles for one of its divisions,
the Mississippi Bureau of Inves-
tigation.
Reeves replied: When you
make purchases of vehicles and
they dont go to people on the
road, I wonder about your prior-
ities.
House Speaker Philip Gunn,
R-Clinton, said he couldnt ex-
plain why DPS didnt provide de-
tailed information to the Budget
Committee during the hearing:
It makes it hard for us to go to
bat for them when we dont have
that basic information.

THE
ReadeRs comment
slimantics
Early this year,
when the qualify-
ing period began
for the mayor and
council races be-
gan, I found it odd
that more people
didnt choose to
run. As you will
recall, two council
positions were
uncontested and
only one council
race had as many as
three candidates. In
the mayors race, two challeng-
ers faced incumbent Robert
Smith.
Given the general down-
ward trajectory of the city,
you might have thought more
people would be inspired to
jump into the fray. Hardly.
Marty Turner turned out
to be the only new face on
the council and Smith easily
retained his throne.
Now that the elections are
a few months in our rear-view
mirror and weve had the
opportunity to see the mar-
ginally-new city government
in action, I believe the lack of
candidates can be attributed to
poor marketing.
I am convinced that some
would-be candidates might
have been prompt-
ed to seek offce
if only they have
been made aware of
some of the bene-
fts they may have
failed to notice.
Join the Coun-
cil. See the World!
would have been an
excellent marketing
slogan, I think.
Its been a busy
summer for the
council and city
offcials, what with all that
packing and unpacking and
getting on planes, etc.
This month, councilmen
Kabir Karriem, Joseph Mick-
ens and Turner will head
to Washington, D.C. for a
Congressional Black Caucus
legislative conference. Last
month, the same three council-
men, along with Gene Taylor
and Charlie Box and six other
city offcials spent three days
of intense, exhaustive study of
ways to develop the Tenn-Tom
Waterway in the grim confnes
of the Grand Hotel Marriott
Resort, Golf Club and Spa,
located on the spartan beaches
of Point Clear, Ala.
Since their return, its all
they seem to want to talk
about ways to develop the
Tenn-Tom. Day and night, its
we can do this on the Tenn-
Tom and according to the
extensive notes I took at the
conference, we should do this.
Such is their zeal, that citizens
are often compelled to cross
the street when they see a city
offcial approaching for fear
that they will be button-holed
for a long soliloquy about plans
for the Tenn-Tom Waterway.
Now, it appears Taylor is
headed for Seattle for a Nation-
al League of Cities conference.
I would not be at all sur-
prised if Taylor doesnt come
back with plans to build a
Space Needle right here in
Columbus, probably as part
of that Tenn-Tom Waterway
development.
Then Taylor, Smith and
Mickens are off to Tunica,
which is rumored to have a ca-
sino and nice restaurants, for a
Municipal League Conference.
I see a foating casino in our
future, dont you?
All of this traveling comes
at a time when the city is
already more than $5,600
over budget for administrative
travel.
It also comes shortly after
the city put the fnishing touch-
es on its budget for next year.
The council cut funding for
most departments, although
it did somehow manage a
healthy increase for adminis-
tration, because, you know, all
that travelin aint cheap.
Of all the departments, the
citys fre department took
the biggest hit, losing about
$580,000. On the bright side,
theres a pretty good chance
the mayor and councilmen will
be safely out of town in the
event of a fre.
Travel is also very much
on the minds of the folks who
run Lowndes County. And by
folks who run Lowndes Coun-
ty, I mean, of course, board of
supervisors president Harry
Sanders and supervisor Leroy
Brooks.
This week, Sanders got a
ruling from the state attor-
ney generals offce over a
controversy that began when
Brooks turned in his expenses
for a trip to Biloxi for a June
conference. Brooks arrived at
the conference a day early, but
turned in that days expenses
for reimbursement and was
paid for it. Later, Sanders
insisted that Brooks repay that
portion, which amounted to
$199. Brooks refused. In fact,
he said he would rather duke it
out in court than cough up the
two Benjamin.
So that was the end of it,
right?
Are you nuts? It would be
easier to convince a wolf to let
go of a pork chop that it would
be for Sanders to let go of this.
So off to the AGs offce
Sanders went, returning with a
ruling that says the county can
withhold Brooks pay check
until he coughs up that $199.
After initially saying he
would get his own AG opinion,
Brooks fnally relented and
paid the $199 this morning,
which is really a shame, in one
sense.
I dont know how they han-
dle pay-day for supervisors.
Here, I walk around the offce
every other Friday and hand
checks to my employees.
If thats the way they do it
with the supervisors, I would
have paid good money to watch
Sanders dole out the checks as
Brooks held frm in his refusal
to pay up: Heres your check,
John. Here ya go, Jeff,. Heres
your check Bill....No soup for
you, Leroy!
Public service can be a
thankless job, I realize.
But nobody said it isnt wild-
ly entertaining.

Voice of the People: Cameron Triplett
KJ705: We created a nation of victims when our
reaction to 9/11 was cowardly panic. We created a
nation of helpless victims when we allowed the Patriot
Act, Homeland security, militarized police forces
funded by unconstitutional forfeitures and property
seizures, warrant-less wiretapping of citizens, and
NSA spying on every byte of traffc on the Internet.
We continue to create a nation of helpless victims
when we act against our own self interest by fur-
thering policies that promote guns as the answer to
every boogie man we might think to be afraid of. The
were only safe if everyone has a gun mentality is
pure cowardice. Only criminals will have guns is an
expression of abject fear.
Swampthing2: Mr. Triplett: Before I take issue with
any of the points you made in your letter, let me frst
admit that I have been guilty of inelegant criticism of
one of your previous letters and I consider my action
at that time to be a mistake that did nothing to help
anyone no matter what anyone said or what I felt at
the time.
More lengthy refection led me to see that my ap-
proach was unproductive and for that I apologize. Fur-
thermore, although I virtually never agree with you, I
do applaud both your commitment to your ideals and
your willingness not only to take a stand but also to
do so in public, and frequently. I feel your perspective
is always worth considering and I do see attempts on
your part to be objective, and that is always a good
thing (in my opinion, of course!). None of us ever
fully achieve objectivity but it is always worth doing
the best that you can on that score (again, opinion
noted). In any case, though there is much that I could
comment on in your letter from Wednesdays paper, I
will here address only your comment regarding your
claim that the liberal agenda of the media (I assume)
prevents reportage on black-on-white killings, etc.
You cite no data on this point, however, so readers
are left to take your word that this is fact, something I
am not inclined to do, if I am to be honest.
I come from a world in which evidence is required
to back up statements and conclusions, and I typically
fnd your letter and those of pretty much all other
commenters, liberal and conservative alike, to be
basically devoid of same. Without taking it any fur-
ther, while your letter would appear to be in response
to Mondays mass-shooting in Washington DC, you
seem to have ignored the fact that 1) it was black-
on-white, etc; and 2) it was thoroughly covered by
both national and local press. Aside from that, I offer
no contradictory evidence here - I havent checked,
Mondays event, may in fact be rare. But I am not
making any forceful claims here, either, just raising a
procedural point.
An opportunity to talk about gun laws? Not a
chance.
Roland Reagan: Gun laws are easy, solving the
problems and treatments of the mentally ill are very
hard. In our efforts not to stigmatize people who are
mentally ill we have as a result, enabled mass murder.
To the rising pile of
shooting rampages,
Americans can now
add the rapid-fre
murder of 15 people at
the Washington Navy
Yard. It is a sign of
our remarkable times
that this horrid deed
seems to pale next to
the massacre of 20
schoolchildren in sub-
urban Connecticut last
December.
Behind virtually every one of
these slaughters is a loner who
had shown signs of being mentally
ill. The Navy Yard suspect, Aaron
Alexis, had complained to police in
Rhode Island of enemies passing
vibrations through hotel walls.
He was questioned in Fort Worth,
Texas, for fring a bullet into an
apartment ceiling and in Seattle
for shooting out a cars tires.
Though every incident pointed
to a sick mind, none was serious
enough to raise a fashing red fag.
Worrisome how many unbalanced
people fy below the offcial radar.
Its hard to believe there are
more mentally unwell people in
America than elsewhere. But there
are more of other troubling things
in this country: isolation, a mes-
merizing parade of violent images
and easy access to weaponry.
Im not going to dwell here on
the gun control issue except to say
this: Its one thing to want frearms
for hunting or self-defense. Its
another to demand a right to own
weapons that can murder large
numbers in seconds.
That refects a cracked
worship of killing pow-
er, especially attractive
to the unstable.
Many argue that
mental illness, not the
fow of guns, drives
these crimes. They are
not entirely wrong. But
how do you keep killing
machines out of crazy
hands? Laws requir-
ing a sanity check for
gun buyers sound sensible, but
the guns used by the slayer of the
schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn.,
were bought by his supposedly
rational mother. Adam Lanzas
mother went to bars to brag about
her guns while leaving them
unlocked at the home she shared
with her clearly troubled son.
We learn that Alexis, like
Lanza, like the Columbine High
School shooters, spent long hours
hypnotized by violent video games.
So pervasive have these games
become that the public now shrugs
at the likes of Grand Theft Auto,
once considered shocking for its
anti-social violence. The casual
bloodletting in the new Grand
Theft Auto V is said to be oiled by
humor and satire, injecting more
confusion into already-confused
minds.
There is debate on whether
these games promote violent
behavior. The case that they do
seems strong enough to have com-
pelled one video game maker to
hire a crack lobbying frm to stop
a Senate bill that would sponsor
research into the possible connec-
tion.
Much research suggests that
ordinary people playing violent
video games do experience height-
ened feelings of belligerence,
along with higher heart rate and
blood pressure. In his own study,
Brad Bushman, a professor of
communications and psychology at
Ohio State University, found that
typical college students playing
violent games for only 20 minutes
a day for three days became more
aggressive.
Most players dont act on their
anger, because they come to the
game in fairly good mental health,
Bushman wrote in response to the
Navy Yard massacre. But what
about players who already are pre-
disposed to violence? He added,
Violent video games are just one
more factor that may be pushing
them toward violence.
Americas mass shootings seem
to be about several things. Theyre
about a culture that bombards
people with images of casual
homicide, that likes to wave guns,
that doesnt pay enough attention
to mental illness. Though mass
killings occur in other developed
countries, our especially deadly
mix of factors may explain why
they happen here with grotesque
predictability. Its something toxic
in the air.

WASHINGTON The na-
tions health care spending will
jump by 6.1 percent next year
as the big coverage expansion
in President Barack Obamas
overhaul kicks in, government
experts predicted Wednesday.
Thats more than 2 per-
centage points higher than
the growth rate forecast for
this year, and compares with a
growth rate that has hovered
under 4 percent, historically
low, for the past four years.
Much of the increase project-
ed for next year is attributed to
the new health care program,
which is expected to provide in-
surance coverage to millions of
currently uninsured Americans
beginning Jan. 1.
Without it, the estimated
growth would be 4.5 percent,
according to the report Wednes-
day from Medicares Offce of
the Actuary. The fndings were
published online by the journal
Health Affairs.
Other factors driving up
spending include an improving
economy and the aging of the
nations population.
Over the longer term, the
health care overhaul would
only be a modest contributor
to spending increases, the re-
port said. From 2012 to 2022,
the new law is projected to add
about 0.1 percent to average an-
nual health spending growth.
In all, Obamas plan will
add $621 billion to health care
spending over that 10-year pe-
riod, while expanding coverage
to some 30 million uninsured
people, experts said.
Some 11 million people are
expected to gain health insur-
ance coverage in 2014, mostly
through new state insurance
markets the law sets up or
through expanded eligibility
for Medicaid, the federal-state
insurance program for low-in-
come people.
Medicaid enrollment alone is
expected to increase by 8.7 mil-
lion people next year.
Many of the newly insured
are expected to be younger
and healthier. Theyre expect-
ed to devote a larger share of
their health care spending to
prescription drugs and physi-
cian and clinical services and a
smaller share to hospital spend-
ing.
Out-of-pocket spending for
individuals and families is pro-
jected to fall 1.5 percent in 2014
because of the new coverage
and lower cost-sharing for peo-
ple with improved coverage.
The report said the recent
low rates of spending growth
are a persistent effect of the
economic recession, which in-
cludes employers shifting more
health care costs to employees,
pressure on government bud-
gets and consumers forgoing or
delaying treatment.
National health spending is
expected to grow at an average
annual rate of 5.8 percent from
2012 to 2022, 1 percentage point
higher than the growth rate for
the overall economy in that pe-
riod, the experts said. As a re-
sult, the share of gross domes-
tic product devoted to health
care is forecast to rise from 17.9
percent in 2011 to 19.9 percent
by 2022, the report said.
The most signifcant one-
time effects on spending of the
coverage expansions under
Obamas plan are expected to
subside beginning in 2016.
Government says health spending to jump next year

coupled with new health care program

Education offcials: Fully
fund budget next year
By JEFF AMy
The Associated Press
JACKSON Missis-
sippi education offcials
are making their legally
mandated push to sup-
port the states school
funding formula, but its
not clear theyll be any
more successful next fs-
cal year than in other re-
cent years.
State Department of
Education offcials made
their pitch to the Joint
Legislative Budget Com-
mittee on Wednesday.
Lawmakers would
have to add $264.5 mil-
lion to the Mississippi
Adequate Education
Program in the budget
year beginning July 1 to
provide what the formula
calls an adequate amount
of aid to local school dis-
tricts. According to pre-
liminary estimates, the
gap would be down from
$293 million in the cur-
rent budget.

Law enforcement offcials from multiple agencies examine the two cars pulled from Foss Lake, in Foss, Okla., on
Wednesday. The Oklahoma State Medical Examiners Offce says authorities have recovered skeletal remains of
multiple bodies in the Oklahoma lake where the cars were recovered.
ThE AssocIATED PREss
FOSS, Okla. An
Oklahoma sheriff says the
families of six people who
have been missing for
more than 40 years should
be able to gain some clo-
sure with the discovery of
cars and bones believed to
be connected to the cases.
What still lingers,
though, are questions
about how the skeletal
remains and two vehicles
ended up submerged in
Custer Countys Foss
Lake, said Sheriff Bruce
Peoples. Hes hopeful the
answers will come, help-
ing solve a pair of mys-
teries that have haunted
residents for more than a
generation.
Now the family will
know, and thats what we
look at as an important
part of our job, Peoples
said. Its going to close
a very unhappy chapter
in their lives, but nothing
any worse than having
those lingering questions
and wondering what hap-
pened.
Were the victims in the
two separate cold cases

groups such as the Club
for Growth, the Madison
Project and the Senate
Conservatives Fund, Re-
publicans turned the letter
into legislation sponsored
by third-term Rep. Tom
Graves, a 43-year-old from
Ranger, Ga., who lists his
high school loves as foot-
ball, algebra and his Mo-
hawk haircut.
More than 140 Republi-
cans signed on to the bill to
keep the government run-
ning and delay the health
care law. On Wednesday,
the House leadership sig-
naled it had acquiesced
to rank-and-fle demands
and set a vote for Friday
on legislation to fund the
government through Dec.
15 at existing levels while
permanently defunding
the health care law.
Meadows, Graves and
other conservatives de-
clined to discuss the like-
lihood that the Democrat-
ic-led Senate would reject
their bill and dismissed
talk that their actions
would cause a politically
debilitating government
shutdown similar to the
House Republican stand-
off with Democratic Pres-
ident Bill Clinton in 1995-
96.
This is not 1995. This
is very different today,
Graves told reporters. I
suggest you interview the
folks who come to our
town halls and you see
the hurt and the pain and
the concern in their eyes.
Youll understand why we
have the resolve and the
constitution here to stand
up for them.
Republicans insist this
is their last, best chance
to stop the law. Although
some provisions are fair-
ly well-established, such
as children remaining on
their parents insurance
plans until age 26, a cru-
cial change goes into ef-
fect Oct. 1. Thats when
millions of people without
access to job-based health
care will be able to enroll
online through new state
insurance markets for cov-
erage effective at the start
of next year.
Sept. 30 is a critical
day, Meadows, 54, who
traded a sandwich shop
for real estate develop-
ment, said in an interview.
All of us are united in
understanding that once
you start enrollment, it
becomes a totally differ-
ent dynamic even though
theyre not receiving ben-
efts. When somebody
enrolls in something,
they assume they will be
getting them. Thats why
the American people are
expecting us to fght now,
not delay the fght until
next year some time.
Republicans also con-
tend that Senate Dem-
ocrats from Republi-
can-leaning states who
voted for the law will
switch sides as they look
ahead to tough re-election
bids next year. Political-
ly, fip-fopping on such
a high-profle vote could
be devastating for an in-
cumbent. Still, Republi-
cans are looking forward
to making several Dem-
ocrats Mark Pryor of
Arkansas, Mark Begich of
Alaska, Mary Landrieu of
Louisiana and Kay Hagan
of North Carolina vote
again with Obama on a law
that opinion polls show re-
mains confusing and un-
popular.
Yet even proponents in
the Senate acknowledge
that their chances of de-
funding Obamacare are
slim.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex-
as, a chief sponsor in the
Senate, acknowledged
that Majority Leader Har-
ry Reid, D-Nev., likely has
the votes to remove the
provision defunding the
health care law and send
back to the House a bill to
keep the government op-
erating.
Cruz said in a state-
ment that House Republi-
cans then must stand frm.
But other Republican
senators dismiss the tac-
tic as time-consuming and
unrealistic. The fscal year
ends Sept. 30.
Its a political ploy,
said Sen. Tom Coburn,
R-Okla., who says he op-
poses stopgap spending
bills in general. Tell me
a bill that the presidents
going to sign and fgure
out how we get there, and
then Ill support that.
House Republicans
refused to discuss hypo-
theticals about what the
Senate might do to their
bill. They insist that their
approach gives the House
leverage.
You play offense,
said Rep. Chris Collins,
R-N.Y. We send them a
solid plan that America is
behind, then its up to the
Senate and its up to the
president to decide wheth-
er our plan makes sense or
whether they want to draw
a line in the sand and shut
the government down.

In addition to helping f-

vide fre services to the
plant. Clay County will
fnance other infrastruc-
tural components, includ-
ing road and rail spur con-
struction.
Our selectmen are a
positive group of people,
Robinson said. Theyve
worked to-

tify who might be the
appropriate customer to
be across the street from
Yokohama, down the road

kohamas input, as to what

to see (close to them),
Higgins said.
Yamamoto and oth-
er company representa-
tives have been visiting
the Golden Triangle area
this week touring various
manufacturing facilities
in the region, according to
a press release issued by
the Link.
The tire manufactur-
ing plants frst phase,
which is expected to cre-
ate 500 jobs, is slated to
open in October 2015. At
full capacity, the plant will
have the capability to pro-
duce a million tires a year.
All four phases of the plant
are slated for completion
by 2023.
Yokohama manage-
ment have located at the
Thad Cochran Research,
Technology and Econom-
ic Development Park at
Mississippi State Univer-
sity while the frst phase
of construction takes
place.
The plant will be at
the Prairie Belt Powersi-
te, which the Link helped
develop prior to luring the
Japanese tire manufactur-
ing frm to Clay County.
Yokohama will invest

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON Syrian Pres-
ident Bashar Assad said a United
Nations report fnding clear and
convincing evidence sarin nerve
gas was used in Syria painted an
unrealistic account, and he denied
his government orchestrated the at-
tack.
In an interview with Fox News
Channel conducted in the Syri-
an capital of Damascus and aired
Wednesday, Assad said terrorists
were to blame for the chemical at-
tack, which the U.S. says killed
more than 1,400 people, including
hundreds of children. He said ev-
idence that terrorist groups have
used sarin gas has been turned over
to Russia and that Russia, through
one of its satellites, has evidence
that the rockets in the Aug. 21 attack
were launched from another area.
While the U.N. report did not
lay blame, many experts interpret-
ing the report said all indications
were that the attack was conducted
by Assad forces. The U.S., Britain
and France jumped on evidence in
the report especially the type of
rockets, the composition of the sarin
agent and trajectory of the missiles
to declare that Assads govern-
ment was responsible.
Assad denies his forces conducted chemical attack

conference on June 18.
Brooks was reim-
bursed $199 for the ex-
penses he incurred on
June 16. County Admin-
istrator Ralph Billingsley
said the reimbursement
was his fault because he
did not see the discrep-
ancy in dates on Brooks
travel authorization form
before signing off on it.
By a 3-0 vote, with Brooks
and supervisor Jeff Smith
abstaining, the board
requested Brooks pay
the county back for what
he received on June 16.
Brooks refused.
Today in his letter to
Billingsley, Brooks asked
him to provide a copy of
the travel authorization
form.
I am really too busy
for the continuous waste
of time with Harry Sand-
ers and his plantation
boss mentality, Brooks
also noted in his letter.
Sanders asked the at-
torney generals offce if
the board could deduct
the amount from Brooks
pay or mileage reimburse-
ment. Citing Miss. Section
7-7-43, Assistant Attorney
General Avery Mounger
Lee, who looked into the
matter, found the county
could submit Brooks debt
to its fnancial offcer for
collection.
The Attorney Gener-
als offce has previous
opinions regarding the
withholding of public em-
ployees salaries and does
not require supervisors to
pursue legal action, Lee
said.
Brooks said Wednes-
day that Sanders did not
present all the facts as
they are when he submit-
ted the request for opin-
ion. Brooks said he would
forward a letter to the
Attorney Generals offce
today with additional facts
for consideration.
If the board can ar-
bitrarily after theyve
approved something say,
Uh oh, we shouldnt have
done it, then everybodys
in trouble, Brooks said.
I followed the proce-
dure, which was to make
the request to Ralph, and
now hes saying (he) over-
looked it. Thats not my
fault.
Brooks added that
supervisors in favor of
requesting he pay back
the $199 were setting an
awkward precedent.
There is no document
anywhere that defnes
what county business is.
I dont want to prolong
this because its a bunch
of bull- - -t, but Im going
to exhaust the avenues
afforded to me because
it was an arbitrary deci-
sion, he said. The board
authorized the expendi-
ture, so it wasnt illegal.
Brooks said anyone
requesting an Attorney
General opinion can solic-
it the response they want
based on what they sub-
mit as evidence. He said
the AGs response to his
letter will dictate his next
step, which could involve
consulting legal counsel.

WASHINGTON The man
who gunned down 12 people at the
Washington Navy Yard on Monday
visited two hospitals in the weeks
before the rampage but denied
that he was depressed or having
thoughts of harming himself or oth-
ers, the Department of Veterans Af-
fairs said Wednesday.
Aaron Alexis, a former Navy re-
servist who died in a police shootout
after the rampage, complained of
insomnia during an Aug. 23 emer-
gency room visit to the VA Medical
Center in Providence, R.I. He was
given sleep medication and advised
to follow up with a doctor. He made
a similar visit fve days later to the
VA hospital in Washington, when he
again complained of not being able
to sleep because of his work sched-
ule. His medication was reflled.
Alexis appeared alert and ori-
ented during the visits and denied
feeling depressed or anxious or
wanting to do harm, the VA said.
The VAs statement, presented
to lawmakers Wednesday, comes as
investigators continue focusing on
the erratic behavior of a 34-year-old
man who law enforcement offcials
say was grappling with paranoia
and reported hearing voices and be-
ing followed.
Two weeks before his ER visit, for
instance, he complained to police
in Rhode Island that people were
talking to him through the walls
and ceilings of his hotel room and
sending microwave vibrations into
his body to deprive him of sleep.
Navy offcials said the Newport po-
lice reported the incident to offcers
at the base security offce, but noth-
ing more was done about it because
he did not appear to be a threat to
himself or anyone else at the time.
Despite the apparent concerns
over his mental health and past run-
ins with the law, Alexis maintained
his security clearance as he arrived
in Washington in late August for a
job as an information technology
employee at a defense-related com-
puter company.

This undated photo provided by the Mini Miss committee shows Oceane Scharre, 10, elected Mini Miss France
2011, left, and Miss France 2011 Mathilde Florin. Frances Senate voted Tuesday to ban beauty pageants for
children under 16, in an effort to protect children from being sexualized too early.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS Child beauty pageants
may soon be banned in France, af-
ter a surprise vote in the French
Senate that rattled the pageant in-
dustry and raised questions about
how the French relate to girls sex-
uality.
Such contests, and the made-
up, dolled-up beauty queens they
produce, have the power to both
fascinate and repulse, and have
drawn criticism in several coun-
tries. France, with its controlling
traditions, appears to be out front in
pushing an outright ban.
French legislators stopped short
of approving a measure banning
anyone under 16 from modeling
products meant for grown-ups a
sensitive subject in a country re-
nowned for its fashion and cosmet-
ics industries, and about to host
Paris Fashion Week.
The proposed childrens pageant
amendment sprouted from a debate
on a womens rights law. The leg-
islation, approved by a vote of 197-
146, must go to the lower house of
parliament for further debate and
another vote.
Its language is brief but sweep-
ing: Organizing beauty compe-
titions for children under 16 is
banned. Violators who could
include parents, or contest organiz-
ers, or anyone who encourages or
tolerates childrens access to these
competitions would face up to
two years in prison and 30,000 eu-
ros ($40,000) in fnes.
It doesnt specify whether it
would extend to things like online
photo competitions or pretty baby
contests.
While child beauty pageants are
not as common in France as in the
U.S., girls get the message early on
here that they are sexual beings,
from advertising and marketing
campaigns and even from de-
partment stores that sell lingerie
for girls as young as 6.
The U.S. has also seen contro-
versy around child beauty pageants
and reality shows like Toddlers &
Tiaras. Such contests gripped the
public imagination after the 1996
death of 6-year-old beauty queen
JonBenet Ramsey, as images of her
splashed over national television
and opened the eyes of many to the
scope of the industry.
We are talking about children
who are only being judged on their
appearance, and that is totally con-
trary to the development of a child,
the French amendments author,
Chantal Jouanno, told The Associ-
ated Press.
The question of the hyper-sex-
ualization is deeper in the United
States than in France, but the le-
vees are starting to fall. Before we
are hit by the wave, the point is to
say very clearly: Not here.
She insisted she isnt attacking
parents, saying that most moms
dont realize the deeper societal
problems the contests represent.

help rebuild businesses
burned by a devastating

However, he said, no mon-

ness owners.
The part of this that ab-
solutely cannot be disput-
ed is that the intent of the
business fund, the federal
government said, was to
restore business in these
communities, Christie
said at a news conference
after signing an economic
stimulus bill. The fact is
this was contributed to by
Sandy and is now going to
diminish the business ac-
tivity in Seaside Park and
Seaside Heights.
Investigators blamed
Sandy for damaging electri-
cal wiring that touched off

said local inspectors are re-
sponsible for making sure
electrical systems are safe

mstevens@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE Mississip-
pi State defensive coordinator
Geoff Collins cant mention se-
nior linebacker Deontae Skin-
ner without getting emotional.
Its that human emotion that
makes Skinner not only of the
favorite players of Collins and
the MSU staff but has allowed
him to transform into one of
the more dominant three-down
linebackers in the Southeastern
Conference.
Deontae Skinner is the
heart and soul of what we do
here at Mississippi State, Col-
lins said. He is the most favor-
ite player that Ive ever coached
in my entire career.
When Skinner arrived on
the MSU campus as a physical
athletic option at
linebacker from
nearby Noxubee
County High
School, he was
asked to do a lot
of mixing be-
tween standing
up at linebacker
and being in a
stance at defen-
sive line. Three years later,
Skinner is completely com-
fortable with not only the free
fowing havoc system of Collins
but also in his element chas-
ing down speed backs that led
to three tackles at Auburn last
week.
Theres not much that De-
ontae Skinner doesnt do well
in this defense by now, MSU
freshman linebacker Richie
Brown said. Whether he is
blitzing or backpedaling or
even switching up on the fy his
pursuit, its not an accident why
hes always around the ball.
While fellow teammate and
starting middle linebacker
Benardrick McKinney got all
the preseason attention in the
second level of MSUs defense,
Skinner is the one that is tied
with him for the Bulldogs (1-2)
lead in tackles with 19. It was
Skinner that came up with the
frst turnover of the 2013 sea-
son in the frst possession of
the second week of the season
versus Alcorn State.
We always are practicing
either knocking the ball out or
going up and getting it when its
in the air, Skinner said. Its
something people dont real-
ize just watching but causing
turnovers doesnt just happen
by luck. It is a skill that can be
developed.
When the MSU defense
had questions about ability to
rush the passer, it was Skinner
that took Nick Marshall to the
ground for the frst of three
sacks in a 24-20 loss at Auburn
last weekend. It was only the
third time in 15 games that
MSU had recorded three or
more sacks in a game.
I think Benardrick McKin-
ney said it best after the game
Saturday that we stopped wor-
rying about our individual
assignments and just started
to try having more fun fying
around, Skinner said. When
Skinner blossoms into dominant linebacker for Bulldogs

The banging of met-
al on metal in the weight
room was a ftting back-
drop for Tony Stanford as
he talked about perhaps
his biggest victory in his
time as Columbus High
Schools football coach.
Columbus 41, West
Point 14.
If you were one of
the high school football
fans who saw the score
on Twitter or heard it
on a scoreboard show
driving home from your
game, you have to admit
you were surprised, not
that the Falcons beat the
Green Wave, but that they
beat them by 27 points in
West Point.
Just listen for a mo-
ment, though, and the
banging of the offensive
players in the weight room
tells you all you need to
know. When Stanford frst
arrived in Columbus as an
assistant coach for Bubba
Davis, the coaching staff
focused on getting the
Falcons stronger so they
could be more physical.
Stanford continued that
mind-set when he took
over for Davis prior to the
2010 season. The Falcons
have built on that foun-
dation each season and,
in turn, have developed
a reputation for being
a hard-hitting, physical
team.
On Friday, they proved
it with an exclamation
point.
It all comes down to
our kids ability to play
hard, Stanford said. We
challenged them all week
that West Point is sup-
posed to be the most phys-
ical team around here and
we want to be more phys-
ical. We have kind of built
our program around we
want to be one of the most
physical teams around.
The kids took the chal-
lenge and played hard.
With Damian Moore
leading the defense and
Kendrick Conner fueling
the offense, the Falcons
had all of the answers
against West Point. Co-
lumbus (2-1) hopes to ex-
tend its winning streak
to three at 7 p.m. Friday
when it faces another kind
of challenge against Class
3A favorite Louisville.
While West Point fa-
vors a straight-ahead run-
ning game that prefers to
smack opponents in the
face, Louisville will rely
on senior quarterback
Wyatt Roberts, a Jackson-
ville State commitment, to
lead an up-tempo offense
that will pitch the football
all over the feld.
Against the Green
Wave, the Falcons crowd-
ed the line of scrimmage
to try to prevent senior
running back Aeris Wil-
liams, a Mississippi State
commitment, from get-
ting outside or running
up inside of the defensive
line. He said the key to
stopping Williams was not
allowing him to break past
the frst line of defense
and to deny him space to
create plays.

Consider the lesson
learned because Barrett
Donahoe and the Heritage
Academy football team
have moved on.
After a 37-0 loss to
Jackson Academy on
Friday night, theres not
much else Donahoe and
the Patriots can do. As
disappointing as the home
loss to the nine-time state
champions was, the silver
lining for Heritage Acade-
my (3-1) is it comes early
enough in the season for
the team to use it as an ex-
ample of what not to do and
how not to play, especially
if it wants to have a chance
to defend its Mississippi
Association of Indepen-
dent Schools Class AAA,
Division II state title.
We did what we had to
do with that game flm, we
broke it down, we watched
it as a group, Donahoe
said. They embarrassed
us as a coaching staff and
a football team. We closed
the laptop after the flm
session and said we were
done. They were a better
football team. We didnt
play good. When you put
those two things togeth-
er, it was ugly, and it was
ugly.
Donahoe said prior to
the game that he wanted
his players to treat it as just
another conference game,
even though Heritage
Academy never has defeat-
ed Jackson Academy. With
a game at 7 p.m. Friday at
Hillcrest Christian in Jack-
son up next, Donahoe has
turned his focus toward
correcting the issues that

Oak Hill Academy faces a
ranked opponent Friday night
when it faces Newton County
Academy.
It is not like that is anything
new for the Raiders. As it stands
now, seven of 10 opponents this
season are ranked.
We have played three
ranked opponents in our frst
fve games, Oak Hill Academy
coach Daniel Merchant said. It
has been a challenge but it has
also allowed us to see what we
are made of.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in
Decatur.
Oak Hill Academy enters the
contest at 2-2 overall, thanks to
last Fridays 20-15 Mississip-
pi Association of Independent
Schools Class AA, District 2
win over Winston Academy. In
the victory, the Raiders rallied
from down 15-0 to secure the
victory.
They came out and hit us
with the triple-option, Mer-
chant said. We were not pre-
pared for that. We were able to
make some adjustments and
they didnt score after the frst
quarter. On offense, we faced a
few more blitzes that we had ex-
pected. It was a sign of maturity
and that we stayed calm, made
adjustments and found a way to
win the game.
Through its frst four games,
the Raiders have knocked off
Hartfeld Academy and Win-
ston Academy, while losing
shootouts to highly-touted
Tri-County Academy and Mar-
shall Academy.
Overall, I am pleased with
where we are through four
games, Merchant said. You
can always get better at block-
ing and tackling. That is what
we have been working on in

frst loss and to making sure the
team gets back on track.
I think we have emphasized
what not to do enough already,
Donahoe said. If we have to con-
tinue to emphasize that as what not
to do and that continues to be an
issue, were not the caliber of foot-
ball team I thought we were. That
game hopefully stands alone in our
actions and the way we played.
Donahoe said the Patriots need
to play better assignment football,
to tackle better, to be faster on of-
fense, and to play as if they want
to compete in a game rather than
just get through it. He said missed
assignments are one thing, but the
Patriots has way too many instanc-
es of a lack of effort in missing the
assignments. He said those issues
are solvable, but he realizes it will
take all of the coaches and all of the
players being committed to chang-
ing those things to make sure the
Patriots get back to their winning
ways.
Heritage Academy generated
little offense against a fundamental-
ly sound defense that allowed few
yards after contact. The Patriots
also had diffculty handling senior
running back Duncan Maxwell,
who rushed for a touchdown and
caught a touchdown pass in the
frst half. He didnt play in the sec-
ond half because the game was well
in hand.
Despite the fast start to the sea-
son, Donahoe said inexperience
caught up to the Patriots against the
Raiders. He said he and the coaches
have to step back and realize they
have a lot of frst-year players in key
spots and young players in others.
Still, he said it was surprising to see
what he saw from his team.
We had gone through a stretch
of 11 games dating back to the
Clarksdale Lee game from last year
where we had not seen us fail to
compete, Donahoe said. I refer-
ence back to the MRA game last
year, where we failed to compete in
the second half of that game and we
say a lot of the same habits. When
you have been consistent over the
course of 10 or 11 games with your
attitude and your efforts, to see us
begin to slip a bit was surprising. It
was eye-opening for us.
Donahoe knows the loss will be
a motivation for him and his coach-
es. He hopes it will be the same for
his players. He told them they can
look at the game from a glass half
full and a glass half empty perspec-
tive. He hopes everyone takes the
glass half full approach and asks
what can the Patriots learn from the
game and about themselves moving
forward.
All is not broken, and we need
to be very understanding that we
played a very good football team
and we didnt compete at that lev-
el, though, Donahoe said, and we
have to fnd a way to compete at that
level.
Raiders

practice. A little extra
work on the fundamen-
tals never hurts. We have
a chance to be a pretty
good team if we keep im-
proving each week.
In the win over Win-
ston, Oak Hill fnished
with 285 yards of total of-
fense, including 258 rush-
ing yards on 54 carries.
Drew Riley had 17
rushes for 76 yards, in-
cluding a 16-yard touch-
down run. Samuel Harrell
added 10 rushes for 49
yards, including a 20-yard
touchdown run. Joseph
Caskey had two rush-
es for 33 yards, includ-
ing the game-winning
touchdown and follow-up
2-point conversion. Drake
Riley had 20 carries for
73 yards, while A.J. Iseley
had three carries for 31
yards.
We had some good,
long drives, Merchant
said. We held the upper
hand for most of the sec-
ond half, even though
we didnt win until a late
score there at the end.
A member of District
3-1A, Newton County
Academy is 3-1. The Gen-
erals opened with three
straight wins, before fall-
ing 41-6 to Canton Acade-
my last Friday.
They are an I-forma-
tion team, Merchant said.
They are going to line
up and try to run it down
our throats. We just have
to be disciplined and stay
on our reads. Defensively,
they play with a nine-man
front. Those fronts have
given us fts this year. So,
we have worked hard in
practice this week to try
to make adjustments bet-
ter against that type of
defense. It will be a physi-
cal game and we will have
to perform really well on
both sides of the ball.
After going winless in
2011, Oak Hill Academy
stopped that skid with a
13-6 in last seasons meet-
ing in West Point.
West Point (1-2)
at Noxubee co. (2-2)
West Point will be
looking to get the offense
kick-started again when it
travels to Noxubee Coun-
ty for the fnal non-region
game of the season.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
Friday in Macon.
Last season, these two
squads played one of the
best games in the area,
as the eventual Missis-
sippi High School Activi-
ties Association Class 4A
state champion Noxubee
County took a 6-0 victory
at West Point.
West Point coach Chris
Chambless hopes to see
more offense in the re-
match.
Noxubee County has
an excellent tradition,
Chambless said. Even
though they are young,
you know you are going to
see a well-coached team
excited to play.
Last week, West Points
offense was stuck in neu-
tral in the second half of
a 41-14 home loss to Co-
lumbus. The Green Wave
had entered that contest
averaging 44 points per
game. Lead back Aeris
Williams was held to un-
der 100 yards for the frst
time this season and only
found the end zone once.
After two successful
drives in the frst half,
West Point did not score
in the games fnal half.
We struggled with
consistency, Chambless
said. Sometimes, you
have a big game (a 55-33
win over Starkville the
week before) and then
you struggle when you
dont have the same kind
of success. We got im-
patient and struggled to
build long drives.
Despite the 1-2 start,
West Point should still
rebound and be a factor
in the Region 1-5A race.
Right away, the challenge
will be supreme as the
frst region opponent is
unbeaten Oxford on the
road Sept. 27.
Its all about consis-
tency and working hard
each week to get better,
Chambless said.

Mens tennis opens play today at SEC Invitational
STARKVILLE After weeks of practice in the sweltering heat
of Mississippi, the Mississippi State mens tennis squad will finally
get to showcase their skills this weekend when they open the
2013-14 season in Nashville, Tenn., at the Vanderbilt-hosted SEC
Invitational.
The tournament, consisting of singles and doubles participants
from 13 Southeastern Conference schools, begins today, with
first and second round action in singles and doubles, and runs
until Sunday. The singles draw consists of seven rounds to decide
a champion, while doubles will have six rounds to determine a
winner.
Leading the way for the Bulldogs is senior Malte Stropp, a 9-16
seed, ranked 40th in the nation by the ITA. The All-SEC star from
Dusseldorf, Germany, is one of 20 singles players to receive a first-
round bye and will face Kentuckys Beck Pennington, who received
a first-round bye as well.
Sophomore Jordan Angus, who last season clinched MSUs
first trip to the NCAA Round of 16 since 2001, received his first ca-
reer ITA singles ranking of 113th this fall. He will face Vanderbilts
Jeff Offerdahl in first round action.
In doubles, Angus and Stropp will pair together for the first
time since their appearance in last years NCAA Doubles Champi-
onship tournament. The sixth-ranked and second-seeded duo will
face off against Floridas No. 60 team of Florent Diep and Michael
Alford in the second round.
States trio of newcomers will see their first experience in the
Maroon and White at the SEC Invitational. Freshmen Florian Lakat
and Robin Haden will open up their collegiate careers in singles
play, as Lakat opens against Kentucky sophomore Kevin Lai, while
Haden faces off against Floridas Alford.
Junior college transfer Tassilo Schmid begins his MSU
career paired with Lakat in doubles play, as the tandem earned a
first-round bye and will face Ole Miss William Kallberg and Stefan
Lindmark. Haden will also compete in doubles action, pairing
up with South Carolinas Ben Barnette to face Alabamas Saxon
Buehning and Sean Donohue in the opening round.
Were really excited to get to Nashville and compete in the
SEC Invitational, seventh-year head coach Per Nilsson said. Our
guys will have the chance to play some of the top players in the
nation, which is great experience and a good way to start off our
season.
Ole Miss
Volleyball team plays host to Rebel Classic
OXFORD Coming off a 3-1 week at the TCU Nike/Molten
Invitational in Fort Worth, Texas, the Ole Miss volleyball team (7-3)
returns home to host the Rebel Classic on Friday and Saturday at
the Gillom Sports Center.
The Rebels will face Southern Miss on Friday at 7 p.m., fol-
lowed by a doubleheader Saturday against Chattanooga (11 a.m.)
and Louisiana-Lafayette (7 p.m.).
We havent hosted two tournaments in quite some time, Ole
Miss volleyball head coach Joe Getzin said. Were looking forward
to being back at home for the next couple of weeks. What that
allows us to do is get a little more training time in. It allows us to
work on some things as we go forward.
Offensively, weve got to continue to work on producing better
numbers and getting more kills per swing. We have different styles
of teams in the Rebel Classic this weekend, a little bit scrappier
than what we face in the SEC. Thats always a point where you
have to stay patient.
Ole Miss went 3-1 in the Lonestar State last week, defeating
Grambling State, Stephen F. Austin and Houston by 3-0 scores
before falling to tournament-host TCU in front of a raucous environ-
ment in five sets.
The Rebels recorded their second and third highest hitting
percentages of the rally scoring era at the TCU Nike/Molten Invi-
tational. Ole Miss hit at a .425 clip in a 3-0 victory over Stephen F.
Austin, and hit .419 one match earlier in a 3-0 win over Grambling
State.
n Football to host 50-year anniversary of championship:
At Oxford, almost a half century has passed since the 1963 Ole
Miss football team won the Southeastern Conference Champion-
ship, one of six SEC titles the Rebels have won.
It was the 17th team at the University of Mississippi under
Coach John Vaught and it earned the league title with a 5-0-1 SEC
record, while finishing 7-1-2 overall. Members of that 1963 team will
return to campus for a special reunion the weekend of October 12
when the current Rebels host Texas A&M in Vaught-Hemingway
Stadium.
Winning the SEC championship was a great accomplishment
for us, said team co-captain and All-America center-linebacker
Kenny Dill. It was a tradition to which we had grown accustom.
Mens tennis opens campaign: At Oxford, the Ole Miss mens
tennis team is set to begin the 2013-14 season at the inaugural
SEC Coaches Championship in Nashville, Tenn.
This tournament replaces the SEC Indoor Championships
which was held every January. It features all 13 teams from the
nations top conference, which boasted 10 teams in the final top
25 last year.
The tournament starts Thursday morning with two rounds of
singles followed by two rounds of doubles. Friday features the third
and fourth round of singles followed by the third round of doubles.
Singles quarterfinals will be on Saturday, followed by doubles quar-
terfinals and semifinals. Play wraps up Sunday with the singles
semifinals and finals and the doubles final.
Four of the Rebels will compete this weekend, led by junior
William Kallberg (Stockholm, Sweden), who begins the season
ranked No. 65 in the nation in singles. He will be joined by soph-
omores Stefan Lindmark (Stockholm, Sweden) and Zach Wilder
(Oxford). Marking his debut this weekend will be redshirt freshman
Vinod Gowda (Bangalore, India).
We are very excited about the start of the season, head
coach Billy Chadwick said. As always the SEC is the toughest
league in the nation, and our SEC Coaches Championship is one
of the premier fall events.
In his first collegiate match, Gowda will play Vanderbilt junior
Anton Kovrigin. Wilder will face LSUs Harrison Kennedy. Both
Kallberg and Lindmark received a bye in the first round. Kallberg
will face Arkansas Jacob Herndon and Lindmark will face Florida
freshman Maxx Lipman, in the second round.
Both doubles teams received first round byes. Kallberg and
Lindmark will face a freshmen Mississippi State duo of Florian
Lakat and Tassilo Schmid. Gowda and Wilder will face the winner
of a Vanderbilt vs. Arkansas matchup.
All-American Nik Scholtz, who is ranked No. 7 in the nation,
represented his country (South Africa) in Davis Cup last weekend
and is not competing this weekend.

Thursday Night NFL: Chiefs at Eagles
Reid returns home tonight
by ROb MAADDI
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA Andy Reid
cleared his throat, uttered some fa-
miliar phrases and downplayed his
return to Philadelphia.
Same old Andy.
Thats not where Im at right
now, Reid said when asked if its go-
ing to be emotional when his Kan-
sas City Chiefs (2-0) play the Eagles
(1-1) on Thursday night.
I dont feel that way. If we
werent playing a football game
against a good football team, maybe
your mind goes there. I dont see my
mind going there. My mind is going
to be on the job at hand and what
weve got to get accomplished in a
tough place to play.
Clearly, Reid is still a stoic guy.
But he also has to be aware of the
spicy plot in which he is the center-
piece?
Reid led the Eagles to nine play-
off appearances, six division titles,
fve NFC championship games and
one Super Bowl before he was fred
after going 4-12 last year in his 14th
season.
While hes off to an excellent
start with the Chiefs, who were 2-14
last year, Chip Kelly has reinvigorat-
ed the Eagles and their fans with his
fast-paced offense and all-around
energy.
I have great respect for Andy,
Kelly said. If youre a coach in the
NFL, anybody head coaches in one
spot for 14 years, you kind of look to
them and say, Holy Smokes! If you
just walk down these hallways and
look at the championships, the divi-
sion championships, the conference
championships, what hes done, hes
had a huge impact on this organiza-
tion.
Theres not a lot of guys out
there in this profession that carry
themselves, from a coaching stand-
point, when you get a chance to be
around them, like Andy Reid.
Five things to watch for in
Chiefs-Eagles:
WHAT GIVES ON THE
GROUND?: Led by LeSean Mc-
Coys NFL-best 237 yards rushing,
the Eagles are second in the league
with 352 yards on the ground. The
Chiefs defense is second against
the run, allowing 54 yards per
game. Something has to give.
PASS-HAPPY ANDY VS. PO-
ROUS SECONDARY: Reid has al-
ways employed a pass-frst philos-
ophy and its no different with the
Chiefs. Alex Smith has thrown on
59 percent of Kansas Citys plays,
excluding his scrambles that prob-
ably started as pass plays.
BLOCKING POE: Chiefs nose
tackle Dontari Poe already has 3
sacks, including 2 on Tony Romo
last week.
The big guy is a disruptive force
and presents a diffcult challenge
for the Eagles.
MISTAKE-FREE MIKE: Mi-
chael Vick is off to an excellent
start in Chip Kellys up-tempo of-
fense. Hes making smart decisions,
protecting the ball and operating
the read option to perfection. Vick
threw for a career-best 428 yards
last week and has a 119.0 passer
rating. Hes accounted for six TDs
(four passing, two rushing) and
zero interceptions.
TIRED LEGS: The Eagles are
the frst team in NFL history to
start the season with three games
in 11 days.
The Chiefs are playing their
third game in 12 days. Expect some
weary players out there.

Prep Football: West Alabama Preview
Lamar County looks to nail down county championship
By Barry allen
Special to The Dispatch
VERNON, Ala. Lamar
County High School is aiming
for the Alabama High School
Activities Associations Class
2A state championship this sea-
son.
In the meanwhile, the Bull-
dogs want to nail down the La-
mar County championship.
This is a really big game
for us against a big rival, La-
mar County senior Jacob Smith
said. We want to make a deep
playoff run. We know that beat-
ing the rivals is a good way to
get that started.
Lamar County (3-0, 2-0 Re-
gion 4-2A) travels to Sulligent
(0-3, 0-2) looking to complete
the in-county series sweep of
its rivals.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Fri-
day at Brown Stadium in Sulli-
gent.
Lamar County opened the
season with a 41-0 win over ri-
val South Lamar and win Friday
night against the Blue Devils
will give the Bulldogs their ffth
straight county championships.
The Bulldogs are 8-1 against
Sulligent and South Lamar
since the 2009 season.
This is big game for our
kids and the community, Ad-
ams said. This is for the coun-
ty championship and a chance
to go 3-0 in the region, which is
really important. I told our play-
ers they will never forget this
game Friday night.
Smith has helped anchor a
Lamar County defense which
has allowed 19 points all sea-
son.
We knew we had to step it
up defensively to have a chance
this season, Smith said. De-
fense is how you win champion-
ships. We knew we had the of-
fense to go a long way. We just
had to become more physical
and do a better job on that side
of the ball.
Sulligent own a 34-28-5 all-
time series lead but the Bull-
dogs have won the last four
meetings, including last years
18-14 nail-biter in Vernon, Ala.
Lamar County posted a 6-3 win
in its last trip to Sulligent in
2011.
The defning moment of the
season thus far came in the re-
gion opener against Oakman in
week two. The Bulldogs held a
slim 21-19 lead and took over
the ball inside their own 1-yard
line following a punt. Lamar
County proceeded to march 99
yards and chewed up more than
10 minutes off the clock for a
game-clinching touchdown in a
28-19 win.
I think that showed a lot
about this team and the mental-
ity that we are trying to have,
Adams said. Now we have to
continue to build off that each
week.
Adams said the success of
the team has come from the of-
fensive and defensive line, and
that the defense has played sol-
id all year as a unit.
The Bulldogs defense al-
lowed 340 points in 13 games
last season and two teams
scored more than 50 points.
This year, Lamar County is al-
lowing 6.3 points per game and
pitched two shutouts in wins
over South Lamar (41-0) and
R.C. Hatch (45-0).
Our whole defensive unit
has played really well, Adams
said. They remember back to
last year and there were times
we gave up a ton of points. That
has been one of our selling
points this year.
Smith, juniors Jeremy Den-
ton, Christian Clay and Devante
McClellan, and sophomore
Temijah Lang have provided a
solid foundation up front.
Our theme is do you job, do
it well and when you get there
arrive in a bad mood. We have
gotten more guys around the
football this year because they
have taken that approach.
Sulligent (0-3, 0-2 Class 2A,
Region 4) is seeking its frst win
of the season. The Blue Devils
have struggled on both sides of
the ball this season. They have
been outscored 108-17 against
Hamilton (42-0), Cold Springs
(20-14) and Aliceville (46-3).

STARKVILLE Dev-
on Bells attitude isnt like
most kickers and that
might just be his problem.
The Mississippi State
sophomore kicker isnt
always calm and doesnt
have a casual view of life
and his job on the football
feld. He wants badly to
be a incredibly reliable
feld goal kicker and that
burning desire is what
his coach feels like is his
hurdle to becoming a sig-
nature weapon for MSU in
2013.
Devon is a big effort
guy and kicking is a skill,
MSU coach Dan Mullen
said. Thats something
we constantly talk about:
Is the skill related to the
effort? Sometimes he
starts trying harder and
harder.
Bells constant search-
ing for answers has led
to confounding statistics
from feld goals from 30-
39 yards away, arguably
the most common feld
goal attempts in football.
From that specifc dis-
tance range, Bell is cur-
rently 6-of-12 in 16 career
games including missing
a 35-yard attempt wide
right in the frst quarter
Saturday in a 24-20 loss at
Auburn.
Its not a mental prob-
lem I need to overcome,
Im not nervous and Im
not thinking about other
things, Bell said Mon-
day. Im simply kicking
the ball too hard, period.
Its an easy fx.
So in Bells mind the
easy fx can be correct-
ed before MSU (1-2) takes
the feld to host Troy (2-1)
Saturday night at Davis
Wade Stadium (6:30 p.m.,
FSN South). However,
Mullen has concerns
Bell actually has a bet-
ter percentage on feld
goals beyond 40 yards (5-
of-8) in his college career
and was recruited to MSU
from Warren Central
High School in Vicksburg
for the strength of his leg.
Mullen, who has
coached the special teams
in a staff effort, compared
Bells struggled with mid-
range feld goals to skill
of swinging a golf club in
terms of the rhythm and
consistency required.
The harder you try to
swing (a golf club) when
you get frustrated, the
more sideways its going
to go, Mullen said. As a
effort guy, hes got to stop
the effort and focus on the
skill and its sometimes
hard to do for a young
player.
Bell is actually a avid
and profcient golfer and
compared his mentality
on mid-range feld goals
as standing on the tee
overlooking a very diff-
cult par-4 hole.
Its like pulling driver
on a tight par-4 and then
trying to hit the ball as
hard as you can, Bell said
of his current mindset on
all feld goals. Who cares
how far the ball goes if its
not straight?
Out of high school,
Bell was named frst-
team All-America selec-
tion by Sports Illustrat-
ed. His best prep game
was where he connected
on four feld goals, in-
cluding a career-long 55
yard attempt against Jim
Hill High School and his
strong leg made him an
easy selection to partici-
pate in the Mississippi-Al-
abama All-Star Game,
where he connected on
a 30-yard feld goal. Bell
was the frst kicker re-
cruited by Mullens staff
at MSU and eventually de-
cided to stay at home by
picking Mississippi State
over Ole Miss, Auburn or
Florida State.
While he was at MSUs
Big Dawg Camp two
years ago, former MSU
kicker Brian Hazelwood
was a guest instructor
and instantly saw the raw
tools that Mullen and the
MSU staff saw in Bell. He
also saw a mentality thats
just different than a nor-
mal kicker.
I love his mentality
because if he misses a
kick, hes out of his mind
but he wants to go harder,
harder, harder but some-
times you have to work
on the skill aspect and not
the effort, Mullen said.
Last season as a fresh-
man Bell set three indi-
vidual season records
by hitting 14-of-21 feld
goals, 43-of-44 PATs
and averaged 60.3 yards
on 64 kickoffs, with 13
touchbacks. He fnished
the 2012 regular season
seventh in scoring among
true freshmen in Football
Bowl Subdivision pro-
grams with 85 points.
The MSU sophomore
kicker understands he
must turn around this
slump because hes going
to be asked at least once
in the fnal nine games to
attempt a incredibly im-
portant kick where itll be
thousands of fans watch-
ing him alone. MSU walk-
on kicker Evan Sobiesk
has only attempted and
converted on two extra
point attempts in his col-
lege career.
I get that Im the one
thats got to put the ball
through the uprights for
my team and put points
on the board, Bell said.
Thats my job.
One of Mullens favor-
ite things about Bell is his
mentality to demand he
be treated like a football
player and not just a kick-
er as the specialists have
a tendency to be looked
upon as independently
contracted from the team.
Ive always been a
competitive, Type-A per-
sonality and thats just
how Im comfortable feel-
ing about life, Bell said.
Its the most diffcult
thing for me to dial back
the effort in order for bet-
ter results. Not too many
things are that way in this
world.
However, now that hes
on campus as the only
scholarship kicker on the
roster, Mullen would like
Bell to rein back on his
intensity as he tries to
overcome his slump on
mid-range kicks.
He has a very strong
leg. With him, its that
consistency, MSUs ffth-
year head coach said. He
just needs to have a nice,
smooth consistent leg
swing. That leg swing will
make the feld goals. He
doesnt need to kick it like
a kickoff every time.

Kicker Bell still searching for confdence with the Bulldogs
Skinner
continued from Page 1b
we started getting the
three-and-outs on defense,
we started noticing that we
were having more fun but
still doing our jobs at the
same time.
Skinner and his ability
to react to the zone-read
option better than in the
season-opening loss to
then No. 13 Oklahoma
State was a big reason why
Auburns highly acclaimed
running attack was held
to just 120 yards Saturday.
The Tigers running backs
Tre Mason, Corey Grant
and Cameron Artis-Payne
werent able to get to the
perimeter and held to just
3.33 yards per carry.
Our main thing each
and every week is to stop
the run frst as a point of
pride for this defense,
Skinner said. I take it
upon myself to make sure
teams cant run the ball
physically on us because
thats simply an effort
thing. Stopping the pass
gets more into scheme and
coaching. Run defense is
how much does one side
want it.
On a defense that is
void of much senior lead-
ership, Skinner is seen as
a veteran among arguably
the deepest talent pools
position-wise for the Bull-
dogs on that side of the
ball. He arrived at MSU as
a 230-pound athlete that
needed to be coached di-
rectly the intricacy of play-
ing linebacker consistently
in the SEC. Five years lat-
er, Skinner is a 250-pound
ready-made prospect in
the middle of the feld that
has eye of many scouts
and player personnel ex-
ecutives in the National
Football League as a pos-
sible middle to late round
selection.
Skinner brings plen-
ty of size to the inside of
the Bulldogs linebacking
corps, NFL.com draft
analyst Chase Goodbread
said after watching Skin-
ner practice in August.
Skinner started every
game last season and is
showing good instincts for
fnding the ball between
the tackles.
Skinner has learned
slowly the instincts need-
ed to be a highly produc-
tive linebacker after dom-
inating at defensive end
as a senior for coach M.C.
Miller at Noxubee County
High School. He led his Ti-
gers team to the Class 4A
championship as a senior
but was considered a proj-
ect at the next level after
being ranked as the No. 28
strong linebacker prospect
in the country by national
recruiting website Scout.
com.
Even as a ffth-year se-
nior, youll still see Skin-
ner using his Twitter ac-
count or on the sidelines
in person on Friday nights
supporting the defending
Class 4A champion Noxu-
bee County program now
led by Tyrone Shorter.
Off the feld, Skin-
ner has even rebounded
from the controversy of
two years ago when he
was arrested in July 2011
on a domestic violence
charge where it was later
determined Justice Court
judge to have the charges
retired. Because of how
he conducted himself
through that process and
handled the negative at-
tention brought to Skinner
and the MSU program for
a short time in that sum-
mer, Skinner is seen as
a person open to talking
with younger players on
their responsibilities once
they arrive on campus.
Its also why he was a easy
choice by the committee
for the Butkus Award, giv-
en to the best linebacker in
college football, to put him
on its preseason watch list
for the 2013 season.
From the time Ive got
here to where he is right
now, youre talking about a
unbelievable human being
and a high character play-
er for us in this program,
Collins said.

cons had two days of
hard, physical practices,
which made him believe
the team would be ready
come game night.
Our kids have bought
into believing the weight
room has made us better
and were getting real
physical, and people dont
like to play us because we
are so physical, Stanford
said. I think it is true. We
have gotten to where we
can stand in there with
West Point and South Pa-
nola and play as physical
as they do. I think we have
proven that the last couple
of years. What gives us
the most trouble is those
spread-out teams.
Against the Wildcats,
the Falcons likely will try
to use their physicality
up front to get pressure
on Roberts so he doesnt
have time.
If Columbus cant use
its strength to control
Roberts and Louisville,
it could be a long eve-
ning. But Stanford feels
his players will be up for
a new and different chal-
lenge Friday and in the
weeks to come when they
begin region play.
I think they feel they
did something people
didnt think they could
do, Stanford said. They
met the challenge, and
now they have to do it
week in and week out.
That is the challenge. You
have 15-, 16, 17-year-old
young men. Their mind
changes from week to
week. They have to learn
to control their thinking
and be ready for a chal-
lenge every week. They
cant come back fat af-
ter playing a real good
ballgame. That will be
the biggest problem this
week. Are they going to
show up or are they going
to come out fat?

Nebraska is ready to move on from Bo Pelinis
profane rant against fans two years ago.
Chancellor Harvey Perlman and athletic di-
rector Shawn Eichorst said in a joint statement
Wednesday that they believe the football coach
was sincere in his apology for what he said in an
audio leaked to the Deadspin.com sports website
this week.
There was no mention of any disciplinary ac-
tion taken against Pelini.
The comments made by Head Football
Coach Bo Pelini in 2011, published Monday, are
unfortunate and deeply concerning to us, as they
would be to anyone who loves this university,
the statement said. Our coaches, staff and stu-
dent-athletes must be held to a high standard
and Coach Pelinis remarks were unfair to the
legions of Nebraska fans and not what we expect
from a representative of this university.
Perlman and Eichorst declined interview re-
quests. Messages were left for Pelini.
Pelinis rant has captivated a Cornhuskers fan
base that has sold out an NCAA-record 328 con-
secutive games since 1962.
Pelini became unhinged minutes after the
Huskers had beaten Ohio State 34-27 in Lincoln
in October 2011.
The Deadspin audio caught Pelini speaking
off air with Husker Sports Network play-by-play
man Greg Sharpe and associate athletic director
for community relations Chris Anderson.

Googles Growing
Recently sporting a price-to-earn-
ings (P/E) ratio near 25, a market
value close to $300 billion and a
stock price north of $800, Google
(Nasdaq: GOOG) might seem like
a stock too richly valued.
Think again, though, as the
company still has much room for
growth. For one thing, look at its
growth rates, as revenue has aver-
aged 21 percent growth over the
past five years, and earnings by
about 19 percent. Over the next
year, analysts expect Google to
grow by nearly 18 percent,
and by more than 14 percent
over the next five years.
Google is perfectly primed
to mint money in our increasingly
mobile future as its Android oper-
ating system has become the global
standard in mobile computing. Its
profit margins are likely to take a
hit as it adds more hardware rev-
enue from smartphones, tablets and
laptops, in part due to its acquisi-
tion of Motorola. But it remains
the global king of searches and a
leader in online advertising.
The companys innovation holds
much promise, too just think
of its Gmail, Google Maps and
Chrome browser. Its working on
self-driving automobiles now, and
launching high-speed Internet and
television service in some cities.
Considering how rapidly Google
is growing, its stock seems at
least fairly valued, if not rather
attractively valued. Give it some
consideration for your long-term
portfolio.

My Dumbest Investment
Swung to a Loss
I tried my best at swing trading.
At the very best, I could stay even,
but at times it was terrible. I even-
tually put my funds into corporate
bonds and have recovered. S.H.,
online
The Fool responds:
Swing trading is generally
defined as investing in something
(such as a stock) for a few days,
hoping to profit from a change,
or swing, in the price. Its not
as extreme as day-trading, where
stocks are often held for just min-
utes or hours, but its not a much
more sound approach, either.
Like many day traders and oth-
ers, swing traders tend to employ
technical analysis of securities.
Thus, instead of, say, studying the
company behind a stock to evalu-
ate its financial health, competitive
position and growth prospects, a
swing trader will just observe the
stock prices movements, looking
for patterns and drawing conclu-
sions from them.
Many of us at The Motley Fool
see that as speculation. We prefer
to buy-to-hold, investing in busi-
nesses via stocks, considering
ourselves the part-owners that we
become, and aiming to hold on for
years, if possible, as long as the
investment remains compelling.

Where Do Dividends
Go?
Q
I recently noticed that a certain
mutual funds top holdings
included some solid dividend-paying
companies. Would you please
explain where those quarterly divi-
dends go? Do the companies pay
those dividends to the mutual fund
managers? K.W., Tulsa, Okla.
A
When a mutual fund owns
shares of a dividend-paying
stock, the dividends paid belong to the
shareholders, not the fund managers.
Typically, when you first invest
some money in a fund, youll be
asked to specify whether youd like
to receive the dividends as cash pay-
ments or have them reinvested in
additional shares of the fund.
After a fund receives dividends
and before it distributes them to
shareholders, the dividends value is
added to the funds net asset value
(NAV). Later, the NAV is reduced
to reflect the departure of accumu-
lated dividends.
So dont be alarmed if you see a
fund suddenly drop in value one day
it might simply mean that a large
distribution was made.
***
Q
Is this a good time to start con-
tributing to a 401(k) account
at work? S.N., Gainesville, Fla.
A
Its almost always a good time.
When it comes to retirement,
most of us should be regularly sav-
ing and investing, without much
regard for the state of the econ-
omy. As weve been digging out of
a recession recently, now is far from
the worst time to invest.
Many of us should be saving
and investing aggressively, too, not
just socking away 3 percent of our
salaries. Crunch some numbers and
see how much youll need in retire-
ment and how much youll need to
save. You might need to sock away
10 percent or even 20 percent or
more of each paycheck. Consider a
broad-market index fund for long-
term money.

Stocks Are for Kids
What better gift can you give

too early to introduce them to

them, they can reap great
benefits from the magic of
compounded growth. Here
are some ideas to help you
play and learn together:
(1) Build a mock portfolio. Have
your kids list companies that inter-

Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Apple, Wal-

can Eagle Outfitters, PepsiCo, Boe-
ing and Johnson & Johnson. (The
Motley Fool owns shares of some
of these, and its newsletters have
recommended most, too.)
Have them list a dozen compa-
nies, with ticker symbols, current
stock prices and todays date. Every
day or week, have them record the
latest prices. Calculate the gains or
losses regularly. Such short-term
stock price movements arent ter-
ribly meaningful, but they can help

FAMILY CIRCUS
D
EAR ABBY:
In response
to Contem-
plating Change
in Rhode Island
(June 23), who
is considering
retiring with a
friend to a city
with a warmer
climate, I would
offer the same
advice we have
given our friends.
She should know
that shell need
to be proactive
in developing a
social network in
her new location.
My wife and I also moved
far south when we retired.
We wanted neighbors with a
variety of ages so we could
hear children play nearby from
time to time. We purchased a
house in a normal neighbor-
hood instead of a retirement
community. But we soon
realized that, unlike us, our
neighbors had jobs, family
responsibilities and little time
for us. More disconcerting was
going grocery shopping and no
longer seeing the three or four
acquaintances we would see
back home.
Without jobs to occupy our
time and give us a framework
for social contact, we found
ourselves isolated. To solve
that problem we joined organi-
zations and did volunteer work
to meet new friends. Our story
has a happy ending, but it took
some effort to make it hap-
pen. Contemplating should
be prepared to do the same.
MIKE IN SPARKS, NEV.
DEAR MIKE: Contemplat-
ing Change
asked if readers
had experience
moving far away
at her age (late
60s). You, and
many others,
wrote to share
overwhelmingly
positive feed-
back. Thank you
for it:
DEAR ABBY:
For the women
planning to buy a
retirement home
together, please
tell them there
are wonderful
places everywhere. I have
moved 15 times since the age
of 70 and at 91 am moving
again. (No, I am not trying to
stay ahead of the sheriff.) I
have sought more pleasant
climates as well as the com-
pany of ambitious writers. For
the last move, I am going to a
retirement community where I
dont have to cook, wash dish-
es or clean house because itll
be done for me. LIFETIME
WRITER IN SEDONA, ARIZ.
DEAR ABBY: I want to
encourage your Rhode Island
reader. Renting frst is excel-
lent advice. Research what
you want in your new destina-
tion. Make sure its a growing
community where transplants
will be welcome.
Be outgoing. Join a church,
community center or other
place to meet people. No one
will beat a path to your door or
care about your former home.
Dont make negative compari-
sons to locals, and dont cling
to your old friend.
If all goes well, consider
buying a twin home/duplex
where you can be close but
have your own space. Im glad
I moved. I now have more
diverse friends than ever
before. RETIREE IN SOUTH
CAROLINA
DEAR ABBY: Yes rent
frst to check housemate com-
patibility. As to a new social
community, check out nearby
colleges or universities. Many
offer programs for creative
learning in retirement or some-
thing similar. One can make
friends with shared interests
through classes. Also, fnd a
local newcomers club.
NANCY IN ASHEVILLE, N.C.
DEAR ABBY: Youre never
too old to make new friends.
My suggestion to the ladies
would be to consider buying
what is referred to as a park
model (manufactured home)
in an RV park. They could even
try renting one in a few differ-
ent parks to get a feel for the
park and location. These parks
have all kinds of activities go-
ing on from morning til night.
MICHIGAN SNOWBIRD
DEAR ABBY: Moving into
an over-55 community was
the perfect solution when we
relocated. There was instant
community with loads of activi-
ties and opportunities to make
new friends.
When you buy, make sure
you own the land as well as
the house. Public libraries,
churches, schools and nursing
homes will welcome you
as volunteers, and you can
become as immersed in the
new community as you want.
We LOVE being relocated.

Dear Abby
Dear Abby
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept.
19). As levelheaded as you
are, you still believe you can
create an existence thats
entirely different from the one
that surrounds you now and
youre right! The lucky place
you land in October is just the
beginning. Your concentrated,
organized effort will continue
through 2014. By July, the
transformation is complete.
Leo and Scorpio people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are:
24, 12, 8, 6 and 26.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). When its not going your
way, you may feel like sulking,
panicking, throwing a tantrum
or making an impulsive move,
but you dont because youre
not a child. Your restraint will
be rewarded.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Insecurity is only a habit,
and habits can be broken.
If you feel worry creeping
in, have a talk with yourself.
Confdence is also a habit,
and youll fall right into it in
tonights social setting.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). As for that thing that was
bothering you yesterday, today
youll be feeling a lot smarter
about things and more aware
of the entire spectrum of pos-
sible solutions.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Control is an illusion, not
a solution to lifes problems.
Needing, craving and seeking
control are all things that
people do when they lack
a deep-seated confdence.
Youre so attractive when you
go the other direction.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You dont have to know what
youre looking for to fnd a
stellar deal. The best part is
that when you stumble upon
greatness, you recognize it
and seize the opportunities
therein.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Youll have the urge to create
order, so follow through. Tak-
ing the time to organize your
world will bring stress levels
down for you and for everyone
you interact with from now
through the weekend.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Beware of people who feel the
need to describe themselves
to you. Youll come to your
own conclusion about who
someone is by the actions
that person takes. Stories and
preferences also provide good
clues.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Spending time with
children, creative people,
entertainers and others who
lack inhibition will inspire you
to freely shed a few layers of
self-consciousness and have
fun.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21). You have that
wow factor now, and people
will want to hear more about
whats going on in your life and
business. Take numbers so
you can follow up later when
you have more time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Finally, youll spend time
with a comfortable person you
so enjoy. Its refreshing that
you dont have to jump through
hoops or pretend to be who
youre not to get somewhere
with this person.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Social niceties come eas-
ily to you, but you dont always
choose to use them. In todays
case, you sense it will be more
effective to bluntly say what
you mean.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You certainly dont need
validation now, and yet its
still thrilling to hear favorable
comments. The person who
recognizes your uniqueness
will also steal your heart.
Horoscopes
By KEN SWEET
AP Markets Writer
NEW YORK The stock
market hit a record high
Wednesday as investors cheered
the Federal Reserves surprise
decision to keep its economic
stimulus program in place.
Stocks traded slightly lower
throughout the morning, but
took off immediately after the
Feds decision in the early after-
noon. Bond yields fell sharply
their biggest move in nearly
two years. The price of gold had
its biggest one-day jump in four
years as traders anticipated that
the Feds decision might cause
infation.
Fed policymakers decided to
maintain the central banks $85
billion in monthly bond purchas-
es, a program that has been in
place since December 2012. The
bond purchases encouraged
borrowing by keeping interest
rates low and encouraging in-
vestors to buy stocks by making
bonds more expensive in com-
parison.
While the U.S. economy
appeared to be improving, the
banks policymakers decid-
ed to await more evidence that
progress will be sustained be-
fore deciding to slow the bond
purchases. The bank also cut its
full-year economic outlook for
this year and next.
Stock traders shrugged off
the Feds dimmer outlook and
focused on the prospect of con-
tinued stimulus.
The S&P 500 surged 20.76
points, or 1.2 percent, to
1,725.52, slicing through its pre-
vious all-time high of 1,709.67
set on Aug. 2.
The Dow Jones industrial
average jumped 147.21 points,
or 1 percent, to 15,676.94, also
above its previous record high of
15,658.36 from Aug. 2.
The fate of the Feds econom-
ic stimulus program has been
the biggest question on Wall
Street for months. It was widely
expected that the Fed would cut
back on its bond buying at the
September meeting.
Stock market sets record after Fed keeps stimulus
Gold had biggest one-day jump in four years
