The Associated Press BURBANK, Calif. — Amanda Bynes had another run-in with the law when she was pulled over for driving on a suspended license by a Southern California airport police officer. Burbank’s Bob Hope Airport spokesman Victor Gill said airport police cited the actress and impounded her car Sunday. He said in a statement that “police did Amanda Bynes cite Amanda Bynes for driving a vehicle with a suspended driver’s license this morning.” Bynes’ driving privileges had been suspended after she was charged with hitand-run in connection with two traffic crashes. Los Angeles prosecutors accused Bynes of leaving the scene of two accidents, one on April 10 and another on Aug. 4, without providing proper information. The first incident occurred just days after Bynes was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. She has pleaded not guilty in that case.

Officers responded to the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel at 2 a.m. Sunday after a drunken man identified as the 26-year-old White pulled a fire alarm, forcing the hotel to evacuate all guests. An employee also reported seeing White destroy a hotel phone. White tried to leave the hotel in a cab before being stopped by a hotel guest who told the driver police had been called. According to police, White kicked at the man before running away. The man chased him and they collided when White turned around. White, who is also one of the world’s top skateboarders, fell back and hit his head against a fence, police said. A mug shot released by police shows White with a black eye.

City attorneys asked a Cook County Circuit Court judge for an injunction Monday morning that would force teachers back into the classroom and end an acrimonious standoff with the nation’s third-largest school district. The suit claims that the strike violates state law because it threatens the safety of children and is based on issues other than pay and benefits. But Judge Peter Flynn did not grant the city an immediate hearing, instead scheduling one for Wednesday morning, said Sarah Hamilton, Emanuel’s spokeswoman. That would be a day after Chicago Teachers Union delegates are scheduled to vote again on whether to suspend the strike. Union officials condemned Emanuel’s legal move as an act of vindictiveness by a “bullying” mayor. In a statement, the CTU said the filing appeared to be “a vindictive act” given that the union’s delegates are scheduled to vote anew on the contract provisions today. “This attempt to thwart our demo- The Associated Press Teachers picket outside Morgan Park High School in Chicago on Monday. cratic process is consistent with Mayor Emanuel’s bullying behavior toward public school educators,” the union said. Legal experts were split on whether Emanuel ultimately would be successful in persuading a judge to intervene. Martin Malin, the director of the Chicagobased Institute for Law and the Workplace at the Kent College of Law, says no judge in Illinois or, as far as he knows, in any other state, has ever granted an injunction during a teachers strike on grounds it threatens public safety. Such arguments have worked in strikes by garbage or water-treatment workers but not as far as teachers, he said. “They are in uncharted waters,” Malin said. “There’s case law out there that the danger has to be clear and present and can’t just be speculative. So they have a very heavy burden of proof.” The request argues that the labor action is illegal because state law bars the union from striking on anything but economic issues, and that the work stoppage is focused instead on such issues as evaluations, layoffs and recall rights. The 700-page filing also contends the strike is a threat to health and safety because more than 80 percent of 350,000 public students rely on school meals for their basic nutrition. It says 50,000 others, including autistic students, depend on special instruction. And out of school, children are more prone to fall victim to violence, it says. “At a critical time in their lives, a vulnerable population has been cast adrift by the CTU’s decision to close down the schools, with consequent grave implications for the residents of the city of Chicago,” the city suit says.

Study: Sexting teens do it more Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — According to a study of Los Angeles area youth ages 12 to 18, kids who “sext” are not using it as a replacement for actual sex. In fact, the study shows that those who admit to sexting are significantly more likely to also say they engage in sexual intercourse. That result may seem obvious, but some researchers hadn’t previously been convinced. They wondered if kids might use sexting as a safer but still thrilling activity that would partially replace sex in their lives, allowing them to interact in an explicit fashion with their peers without the risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. That turned out not to be the case. In fact, the researchers found that kids who sext were a whopping seven times more likely to say they also had sex. This does not mean that sexting leads to sex like a gateway drug — though that can’t be ruled out, according to the research. Instead, it means that sexting and sex form parts of what the researchers call a “clustering of sexual risk behaviors.” Find one, and you’re more likely to find the others. In the article, published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics, the authors take pains to point out that sexting is often not a harmless activity, even when considered on its own. In particular, they point out the troubling ease with which a sext can be forwarded on to others, leading to traumatic social situations. There are also the worrisome legal implications of sending underage sexual material to an unpredictable series of recipients, who may be subject to child pornography laws as a result. “There is peer pressure around sexting,” said Lead researcher Eric Rice, assistant professor at the University of Southern California, said, “there is an emerging sense of normalcy around sexting behavior. If you have friends that sext, you are 17 times more likely to sext.” Rice said he did not want his findings to alarm parents or drive them to pore over their kids’ cellphone messages looking for evidence. Rather, he hopes that the results will encourage parents to talk with their teenagers about sex and sexting. “I don’t want to encourage parents ... [to be] paranoid,” he said. “Clearly, not every single teen is doing this.” Rice said he also hopes the findings will encourage discussions about sexting and its associated risk in school-based sexual health curricula. The researchers suggest that pediatricians should begin to integrate sexting into their discussions of sexual activity with adolescents, both as a segue to discussions about sexual intercourse and as a way of communicating the potential pitfalls of sexting — the things a kid should be thinking about before he or she hits “send.” They also suggest that sexual education programs in schools should take on the topic alongside other discussions of safer sex. Their final suggestion? Use texts for good, by getting kids signed up for emerging healthy text messaging services like San Francisco’s SexInfoSF.org, which allows teens to ask awkward questions (like “what do I do if the condom broke?”) via text.

Cancer becomes top killer of Latinos Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Cancer has become the leading cause of death among U.S. Latinos, nosing past heart disease in 2009, researchers at the American Cancer Society reported Monday. For most demographic groups — and for the country as a whole — heart disease is the top killer, claiming 599,413 American lives in 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That same year, the most recent year for which statistics are available, 567,628 Americans died of cancer. Among Latinos that year, the rankings were reversed: 29,935 died of cancer and 29,611 of heart disease, according to a study in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. The change may be due to demographics, said Rebecca Siegel, an epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta and lead author of the study. The average age of Latinos in the United States is 27 and of non-Hispanic whites is 42. In the overall population, cancer is the leading cause of death in people under 85 years of age. “This is primarily driven by the young age distribution,” Siegel said. Cancer incidence and cancer deaths among Latinos remain lower than in nonHispanic whites, and rates of both continue to fall due to improvements in lifestyle, early detection and treat- ment. At the same time, advances in the treatment of heart disease have caused death rates to fall even faster, Siegel said. “The overall message is positive,” said Dr. Paulo Pinheiro, an epidemiologist at the University of Nevada who wasn’t involved with the cancer society’s report. The American Cancer Society undertakes its analysis of cancer in Latinos every three years, compiling data from the National Cancer Institute, the CDC and other government sources. Latinos are the fastestgrowing demographic group in the U.S., the organization said, numbering 50.5 million in 2010 and making up 16.3 percent of the population.

The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — A condemned Ohio inmate who weighs at least 480 pounds wants his upcoming execution delayed, saying his weight could lead to a “torturous and lingering death.” Ronald Post, who shot and killed a hotel clerk in northern Ohio almost 30 years ago, said his weight, vein access, scar tissue and other medical problems raise the likelihood his executioners would encounter severe problems. He’s also so big that the execution gurney might not hold him, lawyers for Post said in federal court papers filed Friday. “Indeed, given his unique physical and medical condition there is a substantial risk that any attempt to execute him will result in serious physical and psychological pain to him, as well as an execution involving a tortur- ous and lingering death,” the filing said. Post, 53, is scheduled to die Jan. 16 for the 1983 shooting death of Helen Vantz in Elyria. A spokeswoman for the prisons department had no comment on the pending litigation.

Although the massive, well-organized rally in Beirut was peaceful, protesters in Afghanistan set fires near a U.S. military base, clashed with police in Pakistan, where one demonstrator was killed, and battled with officers outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country. At least 10 protesters have died in the riots, and the targeting of Western diplomatic sites has forced Washington to increase security in several countries. Diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut destroyed classified material as a security precaution, according to a State Depart- ment status report. The appeal for sustained protests by Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah group, could stoke more fury over the video, “Innocence of Muslims.” Nasrallah has rarely been seen in public since his group battled Israel in a month-long war in 2006, fearing Israeli assassination. Since then, he has communicated with his followers and gives news conference mostly via satellite link. He spoke for about 15 minutes before a rapturous crowd estimated by police at about 500,000. “The world should know that our anger is not a passing thing. ... This is the start of a serious campaign that must continue all over the Muslim world in defense of the prophet of God,” he said to roars of support. Hundreds battled police for a second day in the southern city of Karachi, Paki- Bloomberg News. WASHINGTON — The United States and 29 other nations have begun the biggest mine-clearing exercise in the Persian Gulf region, a show of force as tensions escalate over a threatened Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The 12-day exercise that started Sunday involves Western nations such as Britain and France, as well as participants as varied as Japan, Yemen, Jordan, New Zealand and Estonia, according to the U.S. Navy. In an effort to avoid a showdown with the Islamic Republic, it won’t extend into the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway between Iran and Oman through which as much as a fifth of the world’s traded oil is shipped daily. In addition to serving as a warning to Iran, the display of power will signal to Israel that the United States has a military option available and show U.S. resolve to its Persian Gulf allies Participating nations will conduct mine-hunting and mine- countermeasure operations with MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopters, as well as explosive ordnance disposal, diving, and small-boat exercises and portclearance operations focused on underwater improvised explosive devices, according to the U.S. Navy 5th Fleet, which is headquartered in Bahrain.

The scheduling of Panetta’s meeting with Xi was made public only as the defense secretary flew to Beijing. It suggests that Xi, currently serving as China’s vice president, has made a recovery from whatever ailment — physical or political — had kept him from making public appearances for two weeks, which had prompted speculation about whether he would ascend to the top post, as long planned. Even as the latest controversy erupted, the Chinese government began to reassert control over chaotic anti-Japanese riots that spread over the weekend to dozens of cities. But the anniversary of a 1931 incursion by Japanese troops, generally considered the opening shot in Japan’s occupation of major parts of China from 1931 to 1945, could revitalize the protesters. The Chinese government warned Japanese businesses to close tpday, the day of the anniversary, and a number of Japanese companies, including Honda, Nissan, Canon, Panasonic and others, said they would shutter their operations in China not just today but for at least another day as well, with some saying they expected to remain closed through the end of the week.

President Hamid Karzai’s office announced in a statement that a top-level judicial panel met earlier in the day and decided that the detention of Afghan citizens without a court trial “has not been foreseen in Afghan laws” and therefore could not be used. The U.S. government has long held Afghans captured in operations inside the country without trial, arguing that they are enemy combatants and therefore can be detained for as long as their release might pose a danger to the international coalition. Afghan laws have come into play only since the signing of a deal in March in which the U.S. agreed it would hand over all Afghan citizens to the Afghan government — acceding to a key Karzai demand to pave the way for a pact allowing for the long-term presence of U.S. forces in the country. But the United States has also argued that it cannot risk the release of some high-value detainees to the notoriously corrupt Afghan court system. Even though the deadline for the handover passed on Sept. 10, the Americans are still holding more than 600 Afghans in their custody. A U.S. official confirmed that the transfer of detainees had paused because of the dispute.

So it’s no surprise that a recent study found that senior citizens are more scared of losing their independence and/or having to move into a nursing home than they are of dying. When researchers conducting the Aging in Place in America survey asked seniors what they fear most, only three percent cited death, compared to 26 percent who rated losing their independence, and 13 percent who rated moving out of their home into a nursing home as their greatest fears. Emeritus Professor, UCLA Medical School, Robert Heller, MD, uses and recommends a drug-free method to increase memory, mental focus and concentration. While many of the physical inf irmities of aging can be addressed with ramps, railings, wheelchairs and walkers, it’s the loss of memory and mental abilities that most worry senior citizens. In fact, a recent Met Life/Harris survey revealed that seniors fear memory loss more than heart disease or cancer. And for good reason. Brain Fog: Threat to Independence A published study in Annals of Internal Medicine found that brain fog, a type of mild cognitive decline characterized by mental confusion and memory loss, is a major risk factor for loss of independence. Millions know it, too. More than 5.4 million people over the age of 70 experience mild forgetfulness that can frequently disrupt daily routines. Seniors fret about losing their driving privileges. “People cling to driving as the last vestige of selfidentity and independence,” says Lisa Kapust, clinical coordinator of DriveWise, a program that evaluates seniors’ driving skills. “Keeping that piece of plastic in their wallet or purse is a badge of honor,” says Kapust. The thought of being a prisoner in one’s own home, or being unable to recall who you are, where you live, or to whom you are related has sent forgetful seniors scrambling for a solution. Many have discovered a unique, drug-free compound that, according to Robert Heller, MD, Emeritus Professor UCLA Medical School, can do for the brain what prescription glasses do for the eyes. “It’s not a drug,” explains Dr. Heller, “it’s a nutritional supplement that can help a foggy, sluggish brain become a sharper, quicker, and healthier brain.” Fuzzy Thinking Gets Crystal-Clear “It’s like reading an eye chart with the right pair of glasses instead of an old pair of lenses. Everything comes into focus, your brain is more crisp, more focused, clearer, and sharper.” In controlled research studies, the prescription-free formula, known as Procera AVH® has been shown to increase memory, mood, and mental clarity. During randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled research conducted at the prestigious Brain Sciences Institute, clinicians witnessed a startling transformation in study participants’ brains. Over a period of a few weeks, scientists observed the formula helping aging brains to function more youthfully, helping restore the speed, memory abilities and mental powers enjoyed as far back as 15 birthdays ago Users like Jan L, Topeka, Kansas appreciate the mental conf idence and reassuring security afforded by Procera AVH.

By Thursday morning, she wondered if a miracle was in the making. “I was witnessing a tremendous change,” smiles Doreen. “My husband was joking, and carrying on. We were having conversations, which was something we had not done for months! I clearly saw a tremendous change.” Procera AVH does more than improve memory and sharpness. Its effects can be varied, and pronounced, as experienced by 73-year-old Richard G. of Seabrook, South Carolina. Back to Old Self “I’m back to my old self again,” laughs Jan.

Many complaints had to do with losing driving privileges or worse, being moved into a nursing home.” “I am quite happy to now recommend Procera AVH as it gives the brain much needed support against free radicals and helps improve the decline in neurotransmitters, blood flow and oxygen,” adds Dr. Heller. Elizabeth K. of Rochester, New York discovered Procera AVH just in time. At the age of 54, her memory was declining at an “alarming rate.” “I was about to consult a neurologist when I read about Procera AVH.” Elizabeth decided to give it a try. Better Memory, Better Mood “It took about a month for the memory benefit to kick in. Six months later, even my husband was impressed with my improved memory.

Two of the girls were unconscious when members of the family pulled them from the lake bottom, the newspaper said. Evan Gibson, a member of the family that rescued the children, said he looked up from washing his feet in the lake to see a small boy flailing his arms from the water. Gibson said he yelled, “‘He needs help!”’ as he sprinted into the water. Other family members followed, including three sisters and his nephew. “We realized we had no idea how many were underwater,” Michelle Rushing said. First, the mothers of two of the children were pulled for more than a week, protesting issues such as teacher evaluations, job security and length of the school day. While Chicago is much more friendly to labor unions than many U.S. cities, Ravitch said teachers there are indicative of widespread frustration in the profession across the country. “I think what you’ll see more of, as opposed to strikes, is demoralization and people quitting teaching,” she said. Ravitch said test-heavy policies such as the federal No Child Left Behind law and its ensuing state waivers have driven experienced teachers out of the classroom, leav- ing a young, inexperienced workforce. “If you like the idea that your child is being taught by a first-year teacher, then we’re headed in the right direction,” she said. Ravitch supports teachers unions, which she said were key in the civil rights movement. Unions have been a frequent target of reformers such as Rhee, but Ravitch said those reformers often promote ideas unpopular with the teaching force. “The things that the reformers are pushing, teachers don’t want,” Ravitch said. Sandy Hughes, president of the Hamilton County Education Association, said many teachers value Ravitch’s opinion, given her extensive research on what works and what doesn’t in U.S. education. “I feel like experience adds to the validity of her opinion,” Hughes said.

Among other things, the report recommends that prevention and treatment programs be integrated more into primary care, a step it says would encourage more people to seek care. The report also says that the armed services could do more to maintain confidentiality of service members who request care for substance abuse disorders. “While services are available through military treatment facilities for active duty service members, the number of patients treated is below epidemiological expectations,” the report says. “Barriers to care apparently inhibit use of these services. These barriers include the structure and location of the services, a reliance on residential care, and stigma that inhibits helpseeking behavior early on.” On the treatment side, the panel recommended that the military health system reduce its reliance on residential and inpatient care programs and instead focus on expanding outpatient programs. Such outpatient programs are bet- ter suited for dealing with the long-term nature of substance-abuse treatment, the authors said. Dr. Richard A. Friedman, a professor of clinical psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College, who has studied prescription drug use in the military, said the panel’s recommendations are “full of common sense” and, given the uptick in prescription drug and alcohol abuse, not particularly controversial. The problem, he said, will be finding money to implement its recommendations, which might require hiring additional personnel. “It isn’t as if the military doesn’t know the right thing to do,” Friedman said. “It is that they are so understaffed and underfinanced.” In a statement, Cynthia O. Smith, a spokeswoman for the Department of Defense, said Pentagon officials were still analyzing the institute’s recommendations. “If there are areas in need of improvement, then we will work to improve those areas,” Smith said. “The health and well-being of our service members is paramount.” Teachers OTHER SPEAKERS ■ Nov. 13: Thomas Friedman, 7 p.m., Tivoli Theatre ■ Feb. 26: Will Allen, 7 p.m., UTC ■ April 7: Ira Glass, 4 p.m., Tivoli Theatre • Continued from Page A1 That’s a stark comparison to Rhee, who argues for increased teacher accountability through evaluations and compensation linked to student test scores. “This is an opportunity to hear more and to hear the other side,” said Corrine Allen, executive director of the Benwood Foundation, which sponsors the lecture series together with the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Education has been a key area of focus for the series, Allen said, and hearing both sides of the spectrum falls in line with the overall goal that people will “seek not that with which you agree, but that which causes you to think and consider.” In a Chattanooga Times Free Press interview, Ravitch pointed to the continuing strike in Chicago, where teachers have been out of the classrooms and on the streets Alcohol • Continued from Page A1 excessive alcohol use. About 20 percent of active-duty military personnel reported heavy drinking in 2008, the latest year for which data were available, and reports of binge drinking increased to 47 percent in 2008, from 35 percent in 1998, according to the report. The report noted that while rates of illicit and prescription drug abuse are relatively low, the rate of medication misuse — particularly of opioid painkillers — has risen sharply: 11 percent of active-duty personnel reported misusing prescription drugs in 2008, up from 2 percent in 2002. Such prescription-drug abuse is rising faster within the military than among civilians, and it is perhaps more common than the use of illegal drugs such as cocaine or marijuana. Yet the military’s drug-testing regimen, created in the post-Vietnam era, continues to focus on certain illegal drugs that may not be the main problem anymore, the 14-member panel concluded. The panel, while commending the Pentagon for taking steps in recent years both to curb prescription drug abuse and expand availability of substance abuse programs, asserts the military needs to do more to reduce the stigma attached from the lake. Like their kids, the mothers didn’t know how to swim, the fire chief said. The rescuers then found the two girls on the lake bottom and passed them both back to shore. Rescuer Lura Kirby was elated when the eyes of one girl began to flutter and she started coughing. “I didn’t think they would wake,” Kirby said. “I think there were angels there.” Law enforcement officials declined to identify the family of the rescued children, citing the family’s wish for privacy. When Mesenbrink arrived, he found the Gibson family huddled with the rescued children, whose parents hugged them and repeatedly thanked the Gibsons between racking sobs. “The kids are doing great, quite well,” Mesenbrink said. “I’m amazed.” Source: Hunter Lecture Series Regular Guttering Also!

The family pulled the children from danger by passing each one from person to person until they reached shore. The dramatic rescue occurred Saturday after the children, none of whom could swim, entered Henry Hagg Lake, Gaston Fire Chief Roger Mesenbrink said Sunday at a news conference. “I have been through every kind of rescue scenario you can probably dream,” Mesenbrink said. “Never have I seen this sort of outcome. A trained team would have done no better.” The children, who range TRIPS? Horses • Continued from Page A1 see] horse cruelty law,” Doyle said in a prepared statement. But jail is not on the table. Under federal court sentencing guidelines, McConnell is not eligible for jail time because he has no criminal history. His previous soring violations were handled as civil administrative cases, not crimes. Horse soring — abusing a horse with acids, chains and foreign objects in their shoes or pads to enhance their high-stepping gait — is not a crime federally. But transporting a sored horse for a show or sale is a federal misdemeanor. In May, McConnell pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the Horse Protection Act by substituting other names in place of his as the trainer of sored horses while he served a five-year license suspension for previous soring. Falsifying a show form by saying someone else is the trainer constitutes conspiracy, a felony. The maximum punishment is five years’ imprisonment, three years supervised release and a $250,000 fine. But McConnell, as a firsttime felony offender, is not eligible for that sentence. Prosecutors are asking for a full five-year probation period and the maximum $250,000 fine, as well as McConnell’s complete abstention from the horse business in any manner other than as a spectator. STOKING FERVOR Shortly after McConnell pleaded guilty, the Humane Society of the United States released on prime-time television a portion of a hiddencamera video it collected WASHINGTON — The end game in Afghanistan is off to a shaky start. Just as the last U.S. “surge” troops leave the country, trouble is breaking out in ways that go to the core of the strategy for winding down the U.S. and allied combat role and making Afghans responsible for their own security. At stake is the goal of ensuring that Afghanistan not revert to being a terrorist haven. Nearly two years after President Barack Obama announced he was sending another 33,000 troops to take on the Taliban, those reinforcements are completing their return to the United States this week. That leaves about 68,000 American troops, along with their NATO allies and Afghan partners, to carry out an ambitious plan to put the Afghans fully in the combat lead as early as next year. But the setbacks are piling up: a spasm of deadly attacks on U.S. and NATO forces by Afghan soldiers and police, including three attacks in the last three days; an audacious Taliban assault on a coalition air base that killed two Marines and destroyed six fighter jets; and a NATO airstrike that inadvertently killed eight Afghan women and girls. The Pentagon on Monday identif ied the two Marines killed at Camp Bastion on Friday as Lt. Col. Christopher K. Raible, 40, of Huntingdon, Pa., and Sgt. Bradley W. Atwell, 27, of Kokomo, Ind. Raible was commander of the Harrier squadron that had six of its planes destroyed in the assault. Tensions over the antiIslam movie produced in the U.S. that ridicules the Prophet Mohammad also spread to Kabul, where demonstrations turned violent Monday when protesters burned cars and and turned over about a year ago to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and to local U.S. attorneys Bill Killian and Steve Neff. The video of abuse ignited a firestorm of public anger just as the annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration was about to begin in mid August. The ensuing months have been a continual tit-for-tat flurry of news conferences and positioning between the walking horse industry and the Humane Society. Today’s court case has not been immune as attorneys debated the length of McConnell’s probation and the size of his fine. Neff and Killian received phone calls from angry citizens demanding to know why they are recommending probation for McConnell. The clamor led prosecutors to file a 16-page explanation that points out the limitations of their case. “While the government is cognizant of and shares the sentiments of the public outcry and desire to see significant jail time imposed on violators ... the sad reality is that the law passed by Con- gress does not possess significant teeth,” Neff wrote. A week later, defense attorneys filed a counter memorandum, noting that letters to the court from McConnell’s friends and family offer a different view of the former national trainer of the year. Defense attorneys Hugh J. Moore Jr. and Tom Greenholtz said the government simply wants “to redeem itself ” from criticism. And they said McConnell has suffered enough. “The fact that Mr. McConnell’s case has been the subject of extensive public criticism of the government does not justify the excessive fines,” defense attorneys wrote. Moore and Greenholtz argue that U.S. Department of Agriculture — which oversees the enforcement of the Horse Protection Act — has fined McConnell $150,000, and that, coupled with his federal arrest, seizure of property, indictment and conviction as a felon, is plenty of punishment. They noted there also has been “the constant drum-beat By Robert Burns The Associated Press The Associated Press Afghan police stand by burning tires during a protest in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday. threw rocks at a U.S. military base. Those events help the Taliban’s aim of driving a wedge between the Americans and their Afghan partners. They also show that the Taliban, while weakened, remains a force to be reckoned with, 11 years after the first U.S. troops arrived to drive the Taliban out. The extra troops began moving into Afghanistan in early 2010, pushing the total U.S. force to a peak of 101,000 by mid-2011. The U.S. troop surge was supposed to put so much military pressure on the Taliban that its leaders — most of whom are in Pakistan — would feel compelled to come to the peace table. That hasn’t happened. Preliminary contacts began, but they have been stymied. When he announced his decision in December 2009 to send the 33,000 extra troops, Obama said it was aimed at seizing the initiative in a war that was “not lost, but for several years ... has moved backwards.” Battlefield momentum was regained, but doubts persist about how long-lasting the progress will prove to be. Stephen Biddle, a professor of international affairs at George Washington University and an occasional conof negative local, regional and national publicity, stories played and re-played on every national news channel and ABC’s ‘Nightline,’ complete loss of reputation, abandonment by former ‘friends’ and the ‘industry’ and being the daily subject of utter contempt and hatred expressed from around the world.” “No amount of fine will ever work any additional deterrence,” Greenholtz and Moore wrote. Late Friday, prosecutors filed a rebuttal, saying McConnell cannot claim to fully accept responsibility while simultaneously objecting to the legal consequences of breaking the law. “[McConnell] is not the victim in this case; the horses he harmed and anyone who may have been defrauded due to the defendant’s cheating and crimes are the victims,” Neff and Killian wrote.

He is now a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, a think tank. Worries about Afghan soldiers and police turning their guns on their U.S. and allied partners have reached the point where Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander there, directed lower-level commanders on Sunday to review security protections and to limit some partnered operations with the Afghans temporarily. And it prompted Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to say Sunday that insider attacks have become a “very serious threat” to the war campaign. “Something has to change,” he declared. He also suggested that the Afghan government needs to be more aggressive about making those changes.

The trust has been helping acquire the property and easements needed to extend the Riverwalk. “It’s not beautiful and lush, but people who use the trail can see this is a real part of our city. These are jobs, and this is an important part of our economy,” Wood said. It will be about two years before the Riverwalk, which now runs about 10 miles from the dam to Ross’s Landing, will reach its planned stopping point in St. Elmo. Engineers say the walk eventually will tie into Lookout Mountain trails. With sprawling vistas of the mountain and river, scenery will be a big part of the new trail, but planners also are interested in unpacking the stories of the scenery. John Brown, project manager for Barge, Waggoner, Sumner & Cannon Inc., which engineered the extension, envisions a path dotted with interpretive sign sculptures formed out of machinery and products welded in riverside factories. “We’re trying to tie the city’s cultural history and industrial history with the natural features — the river and the mountain that actually formed that whole quarter to be what it is today,” he said. But the area’s history goes beyond the industrial. Near the crossing at the top of M.L. King Boulevard, planners hope to feature exhibits about a black community called Blue Goose Hollow.

Over the last two weeks, the Chattanooga City Council and the Hamilton County Commission have approved a $2.8 million grant agreement with the Tennessee Department of Transportation to help the Riverwalk extension project reach its funding goal of about $13.1 million, said county engineer Todd Leamon. While planners hope to start work by the end of this year, they are now busy working with commercial landowners and railroad companies, trying to piece together a patchwork of easements and property crossings for the trail’s alignment. “Once we cast the vision for the Riverwalk, most landowners are very cooperative,” said Wood. “We want it to have meaningful connection to the city, not just exist for recreational activity you do on a Saturday morning. We want it to be close to where you work, close to where you live.” Alstom has paved the way for the Riverwalk to cross its property, even offering to cut off part of an existing building to make room for the 12foot-wide path. Perimeter Properties, which owns the old U.S. Pipe and Wheland Foundry sites, has offered “whatever is necessary to make the project successful,” said Perimeter partner Michael Mallen. Mallen said he and other owners of the property, which covers more than 140 acres, hopes to see a mixeduse retail and commercial development there one day. “We’ve told the city and the county from the beginning that we would make sure the Riverwalk traverses our site,” Mallen said. “The Riverwalk has proven itself to be the crown jewel of the city and our greatest public asset. It makes sense that it move southward.” Contact staff writer Kate Harrison at kharrison@times freepress.com or 423-757-6673. 34928152 Riverwalk .. timesfreepress.com ..

Dedric Lamont Atkins, 35, will serve at least 13 years in state prison but could be confined longer if officials decide he still poses a danger to others. He pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder in the Sept. 28, 2003, beating and strangulation death of his son Dedrick Kayshon Johnson. “This is nothing but sadness, this case,” said Atkins’ attorney, Hilary Hodgkins. Atkins had been declared not competent to stand trial shortly after the killing because he suf- fers from schizophrenia and is “delusional and psychotic,” according to experts who have examined him. Under Tennessee Department of Correction policy, when “less drastic” treatment options than hospitalization don’t work for mentally ill inmates whose condition presents a risk of harm, involuntary hospitaliza- tion is an option. Archives show that Atkins suffered from mental illness since at least 1997 and he had a history of violent offenses before his son’s killing. Emergency workers responded to calls after Atkins came downstairs from his Patten Towers apartment and told a bystander that voices in the tele- vision told him to kill his son. Last year, experts for both the prosecution and defense determined Atkins could participate in a trial. Hodgkins said that, in recent months, her client was able to understand his options.

Janet Radden, an employee with the housing authority, went door to door with other residents begging for attendance. In this neighborhood, all children have lived more than a year in poverty, and less than a third of people have jobs. The gangs are entrenched, and drugs flow in and out. Sometimes shots are heard at night. Radden wanted people to hear about Gandhi, about peace. About 40 people showed. “Unless you are feeding them, they won’t come,” she said, disappointed.

Judge loosens gag order in death penalty case By Todd South Staff Writer A local Criminal Court judge has loosened his previous gag order in a death penalty case that prevented the accused from speaking to the media. Judge Barry Steelman issued the order Friday, responding to Chattanooga Times Free Press attorney Anthony “Bud” Jackson’s request that the judge lift a recent gag order on defendant Jesse Mathews. Mathews, 27, awaits a January trial on charges that he killed Chattanooga police Sgt. Tim Chapin on April 2, See GUILTY, Page B8 2011, during a Brainerd Road botched robbery. The recent ruling allows Mathews to speak with the media through his attorneys, Lee Davis and Bryan Hoss. The Barry previous order barred Steelman him from speaking to media in any form. Jackson said Monday that he appreciates Steelman’s actions and partial lift of the gag order but doesn’t think it fully protects First Amendment rights. He said he would review options with the newspaper. In August, Steelman ruled in an emergency hearing that Mathews could not speak to the media and that attorneys Jesse and courts personnel Mathews could not make public comments about the case. Prosecutors Bill Cox and Neal Pinkston requested the gag order after Times Free Press columnist David Cook was granted a jailhouse Cars on display interview with Mathews. Jackson argued in an Aug. 30 hearing that the gag order prevented legitimate news gathering by “prior restraint” of free speech. Pinkston and Cox argued that allowing Mathews to speak with the media could prejudice potential jurors. The attorneys are selecting a jury from Davidson County to avoid jurors who may have been exposed to local media coverage of Chapin’s death and Mathews’ court appearances.

Hamilton clerk seeks emissions clarifications By Rachel Bunn Staff Writer Staff Photo by Angela Lewis Margaret Eley looks at the hood ornament on a Model A Ford on Monday in the Ross’s Landing parking lot. The cars are in town for the 2012 MARC National Tour, which continues through Wednesday and is hosted by the Scenic City A’s. The Hamilton County official in charge of registering vehicles — and making sure they pass their emissions test before granting that registration — wants some details about the testing process to be clarified for motorists. Early next year, the state of Tennessee will ask companies to bid for the contract for emissions testing in the five counties that require it. Hamilton County Clerk Bill Knowles sent an email to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation asking the state to re-evaluate the contract and address three common issues his office hears from motorists: ■ Whether air quality standards are compromised when a “check engine” See EMISSIONS, Page B8 EMISSIONS MEETING ■ What: Hamilton County Commission Legal Affairs Committee discussion of emissionsrelated issues. ■ When: 3 p.m. Friday. ■ Where: Hamilton County Courthouse, County Commission Conference Room ■ To contact Local News • Phone: 423-757-6317 • Fax: 423-668-5062 • Email: [email protected] Walker County, Ga., school officials say they will continue to allow churches to serve meals to the Ridgeland High School football team before games. The tradition doesn’t break the law, they said. Schools Superintendent D a m o n Raines said any First Amendment questions about R i d g e land’s football team have been Damon answered. Raines “What may appear to be inappropriate to you, we believe is appropriate,” Raines wrote in a response on Monday to the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the Wisconsin-based advocacy group that complained about the practice. The issue arises from a difference in interpretation of the Constitution, Raines said. Walker County Schools and the foundation have written letters back and forth since the foundation asked Aug. 21 about whether Ridgeland coach Mark Mariakis was breaking the law by praying with his team and by taking players for pre-game meals at churches where sermons were preached. Raines defended Mariakis, saying there was no preaching at team meals, but also said prayer will be student-led at football games. While Raines said he hopes the foundation is now satisfied, an attorney with the group said there is still an issue with players being taken to churches. The advocacy group will write another letter, hoping to come to a better agreement about pregame meals hosted at local churches, said attorney Andrew Seidel.

Now tribal leaders are planning a second casino in Murphy, N.C. “We have the intent of putting a casino in Murphy, N.C.,” said Michell Hicks, principal chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. “We’re still working on a land issue over there. We don’t have all the pieces put together yet, but we’ve gone through the market feasibility and financial feasibility, and we’re moving forward. We hope to break ground in 2013 or 2014,” he said. Hicks said the revenue from that casino has helped turn around the sovereign nation of Eastern Band of Cherokees. With it, the tribe now has a $325 million governance budget. “Our tribal government has 4,500 jobs and has added 700 jobs in the last three months,” he said, noting the area’s historically high unemployment numbers. He said 80 percent of the jobs have gone to nontribe members. “We’re making ourselves a good partner,” he said Monday as he addressed a packed house for the Moccasin Bend Lecture series. Hicks said the tribe has invested $130 million in a new school system that offers the latest technology and green school that uses geothermal wells for heating and cooling. The tribe also has been able to build the Kituwah Lan- Alabama voters eye trust fund decision guage Immersion Academy on tribal land to help keep the Cherokee language alive. “If we lose our language, we’ve lost our identity,” he said. The academy has about 60 students. “Just to hear them talk in Cherokee, it’s amazing,” he said. Being a sovereign nation has other perks, he told his audience. Local educator, editor honored at Latino awards ■ La Paz Chattanooga hosts ceremony recognizing area’s top leaders. The Associated Press MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Gov. Robert Bentley said he believes Alabama voters will approve a constitutional amendment today to take $437 million out of a state trust fund to prevent cutbacks in state services. But if voters say no, he’s working on several options that could include across-theboard budget cuts of about 12 percent. The constitutional amendment is the only issue on today’s ballot. The special election is costing about $3 million, and the state’s chief election official, Secretary of State Beth Chapman, is predicting about one-fifth of Alabama’s voters will turn out. The constitutional amendment would take $145.8 million a year for three years from the Alabama Trust Fund to help balance Alabama’s General Fund budget and prevent additional cuts to state services. The Alabama trust fund receives royalties from natural gas wells drilled in state-owned waters along the Alabama coast and has $2.3 billion. The constitutional amendment does not provide for the payback of the money, but Bentley said that’s his intention. Alabama voters rejected a constitutional amendment in 2010 that would have taken $1 billion out of the trust fund for road and bridge projects. Despite that, Bentley said, “I’m cautiously optimistic.” “There has been no angry groundswell against it,” he said. He said groups that will be affected, including hospitals and nursing homes that rely on the state Medicaid program and state e m pl oye e s wh o s e j o b s could depend on the outcome, have done a good job of getting the message out about the vote.

Death is the central theme in the PBS American Experience documentary “Death and the Civil War”, premiering tonight. The film is based on Harvard University President Drew Gilpin Faust’s acclaimed book “This Republic of Suffering.” Death and the Civil War PBS film reveals a staggering toll The Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. — In the PBS American Experience documentary “Death and the Civil War” premiering tonight, bloated Union and Confederate bodies are shown scattered on battlefields and in trenches, and bleached skulls and body parts are stacked like cordwood. As the title suggests, death is the central theme of this moving, extraordinarily graphic film based on Harvard University President Drew Gilpin Faust’s acclaimed book “This Republic of Suffering.” It chronicles how utterly unprepared a divided nation was for the mountains of dead the Civil War would produce and how that experience forever changed the way the country treats the men and women who give their lives for their nation. “No one thought that this was going to go on this long. No one thought there would be deaths on this scale,” Faust said in an interview with The tomer service for 16 years, and was a member of the American Legion Post 95. Her passions in life were her children and her grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Scott M. Cope; and father, Connie Martin. Survivors include her three daughters, Missy (Kevin) Shattuck, of LaFayette, Ga., Tammy (Curtis) Sewell, of Ringgold, and Rhonda (Mike) Rheal, of D u n l a p, Tenn.; mother, Mary Moore Shearer, of Fort Oglethorpe; brothers, Ronnie, Dickie and Wayne McConathy, Jackie Ridings and Rennie Martin; sisters, Pat Ridings, Nyako Laxton, Reba Perez, and Schilo Shumate; six grandchildren, Adam Shattuck, Annie Shattuck, Scotty Gilbert, Jessica Gilbert, Heather Parris McDaniel and Tanner Rheal; one great-granddaughter, Kalie McDaniel; and several nieces and nephews.

Associated Press. “I think the South was stunned that the North didn’t just let them go.” The war dead were left to rot where they lay mortally wounded. There was no ambulance corps to retrieve the dead or national cemeteries like Arlington in which to bury them. On the home front, mothers and fathers, wives and girlfriends often never learned the fate of their loved ones. There was no system to identify the dead or notify families, or recompense for their loss. To this day, the precise number of Civil War dead remains elusive, with the estimated toll increasing to 750,000 based on the research of J. David Hacker, a demographic historian at Binghamton University in upstate New York. That number, cited by the documentary and a growing number of historians, is much higher than the 600,000 that had been cited for decades. Some believe it may be as high as 850,000. “Death and the Civil War,” produced and directed by multi-Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ric Burns, will air for two hours on the 150th anniversary of Antietam — the single bloodiest day on U.S. soil. The film draws heavily on historic battlefield photographs, the narrative of historians and the words of soldiers in letters home. It also includes the commentary of poetundertaker Thomas Lynch and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mike Mullen. The film opens with a reading of the bloodstained letter from Confederate Pvt. James Robert Montgomery, 26, to his father in Camden, Miss., after the younger Montgomery lay dying from a terrible shoulder wound. “Dear Father, this is my last letter to you,” Montgomery writes. “I am very weak but I write to you because I know you would be delighted to read a word from your dying son.” Beverly Johnson Young; daughter and husband, Terri and James Blackwell Jr.; son and his wife, Michael and Linda Young; sisters, Barbara Ford, Warn Pettigrew, Faye Whaley, Darlene Broome; grandchildren, Ethan Michael Young, Morgan Rose Young, Micah Dylan Young; several nieces and nephews.

Angela Garcia, managing editor of Noticias Libres, a Chattanooga Times Free Press Spanish-language publication, received the “Chattanooga’s Choice” award. The broader Chattanooga community selected her as the Latino who best demonstrates outstanding leadership qualities, service and a commitment to community enrichment, according to a news release from La Paz. Marisol Jimenez was awarded “Latino Leader of the Year” for her years of service in the Hamilton County Department of Education, as well as her volunteerism, the release stated. La Paz Chattanooga board members and staff chose Jimenez for her support of English as a Second Language programs in schools and for her dedication to make students successful. “Leaders are people who don’t just wait for someone to tell them what to do, but take it upon themselves to act and inspire others to act as well,” Jimenez said in the release. “I believe in Chattanooga because it is a place that embraces diversity.” Garcia and Jimenez were among 15 finalists who were recognized at the Mountain City Club banquet, attended by about 200 people. State Sen. Andy Berke, D-Chattanooga, and his wife, Monique Prado Berke, vice president of human resources for global services at Unum, were the keynote speakers. David Martin, development and communications manager at La Paz, said the awards banquet will become an annual event. “Since Latinos are projected to comprise nearly 15 percent of the area’s population by 2020, this demographic will play a large part in Chattanooga’s future accomplishments, and we aim to keep a spotlight on those who are making this city a great place to live,” he said in a release. and Lewayne McNeese; sisters, Faye Thigpen, Nancy Harris; 21 grandchildren; seven greatgrandchildren.

Breaking News: 423-757-News REGION REGION DIGEST Brothers offer competing town center proposals By Tim Omarzu BRADLEY COUNTY, TENN. Staff Writer Man charged in major theft A Bradley County man was arrested Monday on charges of stealing $260,000 worth of equipment and gutting electrical wiring from a house. Myrtie Franklin Keith III, 32, was arrested Monday morning, and police still are looking for his 37-year-old cousin Keith Clark, said Bob Gault, a Bradley County Sheriff’s Office spokesman. Both men are suspects in one of the largest thefts in the county in years, Gault said in a news release. Stolen were a $30,000 power generator, two heating and air conditioning units and the electrical wiring was stripped from the walls of the unoccupied home. Keith, who is being held in the Bradley County Jail, has been charged with theft over $250,000, a class A felony under recent legislation, Gault said. Clark is wanted on the same charge, and officers are offering a reward up to $250 for information leading to his arrest, Gault said. Anyone with information on Clark is asked to call the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office at 423-7287336. Garnet Chapin Jimmy Chapin Brothers Jimmy Chapin and Garnet Chapin submitted dueling proposals Monday to build a new town center on the Georgia side of Lookout Mountain. The rival siblings’ proposals have one thing in common: They both create office space for Dr. Bill Moore Smith, a family practitioner who runs Lookout Mountain’s only physician’s office. Smith is squeezed in the roughly 900-square-foot office he leases next to Fairyland Pharmacy. “My primary intent is to assure a facility for a medical doctor that meets current federal guidelines and regulations,” Garnet Chapin wrote in his proposal. He has revived the city’s initial concept for the site. It calls for two commercial buildings on Lula Lake Road with three municipal buildings — a fire station, police station and town hall — set back from the road. Garnet Chapin hired the Chattanooga firm River Street Architecture, which developed the plan. “We would hope to provide the town with a level of architectural excellence,” wrote Garnet Chapin, who’s an archiSee CENTER, Page B5 HUNTSVILLE, ALA. Staff Photo by Randall Higgins Tri-state area in flood watch The eastern half of Tennessee and Alabama’s northeastern counties are under a flood watch in the face of expected heavy rains, forecasters say. The National Weather Service says storms crossing into the Tennessee Valley will bring rainfall totals from 1 to 3 inches by today, and some areas could get as much as 5 inches of rain. Streams along the Tennessee River will rise because of storm runoff, forecasters say. Most of the heavy rain is expected east of Interstate 65, with the Cumberland Plateau most likely to receive it. Two to 4 inches of rain was expected from the Chattanooga area up the Tennessee River Valley through Knoxville and into Kentucky. Forecasters say northern Georgia should receive 2 to 2.5 inches of rain over the next two days.

Lee looks to expansion University plans to add communications building By Randall Higgins Staff Writer CLEVELAND, Tenn. — The next big construction project on the Lee University campus will be a communications building, Dr. Jerome Hammond, vice president for community relations, told MainStreet Cleveland members Monday. Hammond said groundbreaking could be about six months away for a 40,000-square-foot building devoted to communications studies. It likely will be built somewhere around the old First Baptist Church building, acquired by the university last year, he said. “This is a growing major at Lee and very popular,” Hammond said. “We are in the very early stages of designing that building,” he said. “I wouldn’t dare speculate when it will be done.” There have been seven major buildings completed on Lee’s campus since 2000, including the Paul Conn Student Union that year; the McKenzie Athletic Building in 2002; the Humanities Center, 2004; Leonard Center, 2007; School of Religion, 2008; the Science and Bleacher tea party Math Complex, 2010; and the chapel in 2011. “Lee has always been an essential part of downtown,” said Sharon Marr, MainStreet executive director.

An estimated 9.2 percent of the population or 577,813 people don’t have insurance, UT’s Center for Business and Economic Research says. That compares to last year’s 9.5 percent rate. It was the lowest number of people since 2008. The number of uninsured adults, meanwhile, decreased from 12 per- cent in 2011 to 11.2 percent or 537,113 this year. The number of uninsured children inched up slightly from 2.4 to 2.7 percent. An estimated 40,700 under age 18 had no private or government-sponsored insurance. The report is based on a survey of the heads of some 5,000 households. UT began the annual survey on TennCare and the uninsured in 1993, the year before TennCare took effect. TennCare, the state’s expanded version of Medicaid, funds medical assistance for lowincome children, pregnant women and disabled adults. TennCare enrollees continue to give good marks to the program with 93 percent of those surveyed saying they were “somewhat satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their care. Dr. Bill Fox, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research, said researchers don’t know for sure why the number and percentage of uninsured Tennesseans fell over the past year. “We don’t pose the question,” he said. “People who aren’t insured tell us it’s because they can’t afford it.” Fox said there are probably a “lot of factors” in the decrease. Possible explanations include the end of the recession and a provision in the federal Affordable Care Act that allows parents to keep their children on their private insurance up to age 26. Figures from past surveys show the rolls of the uninsured jumped significantly after then-Gov. Phil Bredesen cut the number of people of TennCare in 2005 and 2006. They then fell to 566,633 in 2008 before heading back up as the recession struck. Fox said he doesn’t read very much into the slight increase in uninsured children, noting, “it’s still the second lowest in the history of the data.” Eighty-eight percent of the uninsured respondents said the major reason for not having health coverage was they couldn’t afford it. Another 9 percent said they didn’t get around to obtaining insurance and another 7 percent cited the major reason for having no insurance is because they don’t need it.

ELECTION 2012 Covering up graffiti 3rd District debate scheduled for Oct. 8 By Chris Carroll Staff Writer Staff Photo by Dan Henry Bryant Greer helps a friend by painting over graffiti Monday on a building in the Ridgedale community. Jasper Roads • Continued from Page B4 • Continued from Page B4 “[Tennessee Galvanizing] is turning down millions of dollars worth of business right now.” If approved by the state, Tennessee Galvanizing could get up to $250,000 for improvements to more than 1,000 feet of water and sewer lines on the property, officials said, but starting the project before the money is approved can be a risky venture. Jasper Attorney Mark Raines said if the state provides money and, for some reason, the project falls through or doesn’t meet the stipulations required in the grant, the state “could require [Jasper] to pay those funds back.” “When you do that, you do so at your own risk,” he said. “There’s no guarantee that the state will approve that funding or that they’ll provide any assistance.” To e l i m i n a t e t h e town’s responsibility for the money, a reimbursement agreement has been approved by the board and the company. In the agreement, Tennessee Galvanizing has committed to reimburse the city if any repayment of the grant money is imposed by the state, officials said. “If, for any reason, the state tries to get some of this money back, the town of Jasper won’t be responsible for it,” Raines said. “Tennessee Galvanizing will be responsible.” Gary Cosby of CTI Engineers Inc. said applying for the grant won’t delay any other state grant requests Jasper may want to pursue. “It’s not a situation where you have to finish this project before you apply for the next [grant],” he said. “If you had another industry tomorrow [that wanted to apply for a grant], this wouldn’t stop that.” Ryan Lewis is based in Marion County. Contact him at ryanlewis34@gmail. com. sioners have voiced concerns about the program since it was presented to them in July. Some questioned if the agreement meant the forfeiture of local authority over land use along the highway. “I don’t want the commission to give away any authority they currently have over being able to have a final say in any zoning, rezoning or land-use plan,” Commissioner Ed Elkins said. The pilot agreement does not take away the county’s authority on land use, Bradley County Attorney Crystal Freiberg said. However, she said, it does commit the county to developing a landuse plan. “There is nothing in this wording [of the agreement] that hands over authority, but I think the message is pretty clear,” Commissioner Adam Lowe said. “When it comes time to do what they [the state] want to do, there’s going to be some duress to yield with regards to these elements and what they [state officials] want them to be.” State Route 60, especially in regard to where it encompasses Georgetown Pike in western Bradley County, has received a lot of attention lately from Center • Continued from Page B4 tect himself. “I am the only individual that has designed and built national awardwinning architecture in the town to date.” Jimmy Chapin’s proposal has a similar layout — but with only two buildings in the back for a total of four buildings on site.

Loftis still closed after fire Staff Report Loftis Middle School will be closed today following a fire early Monday morning. About 2:30 a.m. Monday 911 detected an automatic fire alarm at the school, officials said. Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department arrived on the scene within minutes and reported no visible signs of a fire. Firefighters entered the building to turn off the fire alarm and noticed signs of vandalism inside the main office area. At that time, they also heard noises of doors rattling in the building and reported possible suspects inside the building. Firefighters immediately exited the building for safety reasons. Moments later, a fire was spotted at the right corner of the building. The automatic sprinkler system activated, and firefighters extinguished the fire immediately, containing it to the one room. The Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office SWAT team did an extensive search beginning on the roof, then into the school itself. The search ended about 9:45 a.m. with no one located inside the building. The school was turned b a c k ove r t o s c h o o l authorities at 6:30 p.m. Monday after a daylong investigation. During the search, officers observed a large amount of vandalism including broken windows, destroyed classrooms and blinds torn off windows. The main office also was ransacked. The sprinkler system caused water damage in 10 to 12 classrooms. • Continued from Page B4 but decisions still are being made on how to use that property.

The Supreme Court had sent a lawsuit over the prepaid tuition program back to Montgomery County Circuit Judge Johnny Hardwick and asked the judge to look at whether the Legislature can retroactively apply the new law allowing reduced tuition payments. Alabama’s programs ran into trouble in 2008 when the stock market plunged and it no longer could cover full tuition for all participants.

Breaking News: 423-757-News Cooper pledges not to lobby after leaving Congress Jim Cooper NA S H V I L L E — U. S . Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., announced Monday he has become the first elected official this election cycle to pledge not to lobby once he leaves Congress. The Nashville Democrat, who is seeking re-election to the House, said in a statement that “the power of money is overwhelming in Washington. I’ve said for years that Congress has become a farm league for K Street.” Washington’s K Street, where many lobby firms have their offices, has become a symbol of lobbyists who seek special favors from Congress on behalf of their clients. Cooper said “serving the public used to be considered the highest calling; now, many see it as a stepping stone to lucrative lobbying careers. I’m proud to be the first elected official this cycle to pledge not to lobby after I leave Congress, and I hope others will join me.” Federal law already prohibits former congressmen and senators from lobbying for one year after leaving office. The pledge signed by Cooper is promoted by Rootstrikers, a national network of activists Deadly crash near Huntsville, Ala. fighting what they see as the corrupting influence of money in politics. It was founded by Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig. Pledge signers promise that if they elected, they will not profit from lobbying for 10 years after serving in Congress.

Guilty ATLANTA — Scholars, amateur genealogists and history buffs are protesting a state official’s decision to drastically limit public access to the Georgia Archives, home to the state’s most important historical records dating to its founding as British colony in 1733. Secretary of State Brian Kemp announced last week that the archives will be open to the public only by limited appointments as of Nov. 1. Over the weekend, thousands of angry people signed online petitions and “liked” Facebook pages created to protest the move, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday. One online petition had more than 7,100 supporters. “I think it’s devastating,” said Kaye Lanning Minchew of the Coalition to Preserve the Georgia Archives, which formed last year after less severe budget cuts left supporters worrying about the archives’ future. “The state archive holds the records of the people. So how can you not be open to the public?” Kemp said he’s unhappy about the decision too, but it was necessary to help his office trim more than $730,000 from its budget. Gov. Nathan Deal has asked most state agencies to identify budget cuts equal to 3 percent of their current funding for his proposed spending plan next year. Ultimately those cuts require approval by state lawmakers after the Legislature reconvenes in January. State law mandates the public have access to the archives at least every Saturday, though officials aren’t sure whether the archives will be able to stay open on any Hundreds become citizens on U.S. Constitution Day The Associated Press • Continued from Page B1 bringing him to competency, but emphasized that he is still mentally ill.

The archives’ staff of 10 full-time employees will also likely be reduced. “To reduce public access to the historical records of this state was not arrived at without great consternation,” Kemp said. “I will fight during this legislative session to have this cut restored so the people will have a place to meet, research and review the historical records of Georgia.” Emory University history professor Leslie Harris said state archives like the one Georgia maintains in Clayton County are “sort of the hallmarks of civilization.” Harris is working on a book about slavery in Savannah and hopes to use the state archives for research. “These places are the attic for all of us, where memories are stored,” Harris said. Oddly, the decision to cut back on access to the archives comes as the state plans to issue a proclamation Wednesday designating “Archives Month in Georgia.” The Georgia Archives already were open relatively fewest hours compared to others across the nation. Once open more than 40 hours a week, Georgia has been getting by with opening the archives 17 hours a week since last year. Mississippi’s archives have public hours six days a week and the South Carolina Archives is open five days. Alabama opens its archives four days a week and every second Saturday. “This is not the way we want Georgia to be known,” said Marie Force, archivist for Delta Air Lines and president of the Society of Georgia Archivists. MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Hundreds of people became naturalized U.S. citizens during a ceremony Monday afternoon at Middle Tennessee State University on the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. About 300 men and women who have immigrated to Tennessee from all over the world gathered to take the naturalization oath on Constitution Day, 225 years after the ratification of the rules that dictate the powers of the federal government. Normally these ceremo- nies are held in the federal courthouse in downtown Nashville, but U.S. Magistrate Judge Joe B. Brown held the court session in the large university gymnasium in front of family and friends of the newest U.S. citizens. As friends and family members waited for the ceremony to start, volunteers took turns reading from the U.S. Constitution. One of those volunteers was 8-yearold Beshoy Farag. His father, Saef Farag, 35, of Egypt, was among those 300 new U.S. citizens taking the oath.

OPINION B6 • Tuesday, September 18, 2012 • • • Established 1869 Adolph S. Ochs, Publisher 1878-1935 HARRY AUSTIN Editorial Page Editor WES HASDEN Associate Editor EDITORIALS Behind the embassy riots A mericans trying to make sense of the wave of violent protests against U.S. diplomatic stations that have swept across the Muslim world in the past week are unlikely to find a singular explanation. The American-made film that debases the Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic religion clearly proved to be a ready ignition source: As many critics note, it’s akin to shouting “fire” in a crowded theater. But angry Islamists were stoked for trouble well before the degrading, low-budget film, “Innocence of Muslims” — and more specifically, the trailer on YouTube — provided focus for the latest tinderbox reaction. Religious and cultural misunderstandings are partial answers. Muslims in a score of countries from Africa to the Middle East to Southeast Asia generally are unaware of, or don’t understand, the basic rule of freedom of personal speech that prevents the U.S government, and governments in many other western countries, from imposing harsh strictures on citizens’ free-speech rights. In most Muslim-ruled countries, citizens don’t enjoy such rights. Their individual liberties are curtailed or denied by strict or tyrannical governments, and offenses bring punishment. Control of government aside, many mainstream Islamists adhere to larger social and religious tenets that restrain ridicule of different religions outside their own country. They would not feel at liberty to debase another religion elsewhere, so they don’t understand why debasement of their religion is allowed by western countries. Mainstream governments in many Islamic governments, to be sure, allow plenty of street antagonism and suppression of minority religions. Yet however hypocritical, observant Muslims still find it alarming that the United States and other western countries don’t appear to honor or protect Muslims’ group values in behalf of their religion. And that plays into their group defense of the Muslim religion, which in their view is a higher calling than defense of individual liberties. There’s also more than a decade of poisonous U.S. history in American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and perceived meddling and interference other Muslim countries from Yemen to the Arab Emirates to Pakistan and beyond. Muslims readily cite the dismal abuse of Muslims in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison, U.S. soldiers’ debasement of Muslim corpses in Afghanistan, denigration and burning of the Koran, drone strikes in several Muslim countries that kill innocents of all ages, and mistreatment of Muslims in Guantanamo Bay. Other factors cited by Muslim observers as fodder for the protests include frustration on the street with the failure of the Arab Spring movement to bestow democratic reform after the fail of tyrannies; and incitement by rebels, terrorists and al Qaida to stir protests among disgruntled, disillusioned reform advocates. Libyan officials report evidence of the latter in the attack last week in Benghazi that killed four Americans. President Obama’s quick response to shore up military defense of embassy and consular offices and to secure support from host governments appears to be quelling the violent protests. But securing immediate safety is not a remedy for anti-American attacks. The larger problem is how to enhance tolerance and mutual respect for others’ religious beliefs, both through foreign policy and at home. An abuse problem and a solution Some members of the U.S. military, like their civilian counterparts, abuse alcohol and drugs. That’s been known for years. The issue, according to a new report from the Institute of Medicine, is that the abuse is growing and the Pentagon has been slow to adopt useful programs to screen, prevent and treat those problems. Alcohol and drug abuse is relatively widespread among men and women in uniform. That’s not surprising given the stress of military service. About 20 percent of active-duty military personnel reported heavy drinking in 2008, the latest year for which data is available. Reports of binge drinking increased to 47 percent in 2008 from 35 percent a decade earlier. The report indicates that the rates of illicit and prescription drug abuse remain fairly low, but are noteworthy. The rate of medication abuse — particularly of sometimes addictive opioid painkillers — rose from 2 percent in 2002 to 11 percent in 2008. That rate of increase, officials say, is faster in the military than among civilians. The report added that abuse of prescription drugs among active duty personnel is probably more common than the use of illegal drugs like marijuana and cocaine. Such information about substance abuse within the military is useful, but only if it is accompanied by plausible remedies to the problem. The panel that crafted the report provided such direction. It is sound advice. The panel says the military first must takes steps to make substance-abuse services more widely available and reduce the stigma that inhibits those who want help, but fear seeking doing so will weaken them in the eyes of their comrades or deleteriously affect their career. The Pentagon has taken steps to remove those obstacles, including toughening rules about the confidentiality of those who seek treatment, but still more can be done. The members of the study panel also suggest that the Pentagon improve testing regimens, make abuse detection and treatment part of primary medical care rather than a specialty, and that the military move away from old treatment models that emphasize residential and inpatient care rather than outpatient treatment. All have proved efficacious in civilian life and should do so within the military. Improved and expanded screening, prevention and treatment programs for drug and alcohol abuse won’t come cheap, but are still a wise investment. The Pentagon seems to understand that. It is willing to implement such programs, but doesn’t have the funds to do so. Times are tough, but the United States surely can afford to provide additional funds — a relative pittance when compared to the vast amounts spent by the Pentagon annually — to help men and women in uniform who have problems with drug and alcohol. That should be one budget line-item that even the most jaded and partisan members of Congress can support. COMMENTARY Neocons slither back WASHINGTON — Paul Ryan has not sauteed in foreign policy in his years on Capitol Hill. The 42-year-old congressman is no Middle East savant; till now, his idea of a border dispute has more likely Maureen involved Dowd Wisconsin and Illinois. Yet Ryan got up at the Values Voter Summit last week and skewered the Obama administration as it struggled to manage the Middle East mess left by clumsily mixed U.S. signals toward the Arab Spring and the disastrous legacy of war-obsessed Republicans. Ryan bemoaned “the slaughter of brave dissidents in Syria. Mobs storming American embassies and consulates. Iran four years closer to gaining a nuclear weapon. Israel, our best ally in the region, treated with indifference bordering on contempt by the Obama administration.” U.S. foreign policy, he said, “needs moral clarity and firmness of purpose.” Ryan was moving his mouth, but the voice was the neocon puppet master Dan Senor. The hawkish Mitt Romney adviser has been secunded to manage the running mate and graft a Manichaean worldview onto the foreign affairs neophyte. A moral, muscular foreign policy; a disdain for weakness and diplomacy; a duty to invade and bomb Israel’s neighbors; a divine right to pre-emption — it’s all ominously familiar. You can draw a direct line from the hyperpower manifesto of the Project for the New American Century, which ■ With no global vision or historical perspective — he didn’t even remember during his Tampa convention to mention our troops or the years of war his party reigned over — Romney is simply kowtowing to the right again. the neocons, abetted by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, used to prod an insecure and uninformed president into invading Iraq — a wildly misguided attempt to intimidate Arabs through the shock of overwhelming force. How’s that going for us? After 9/11, the neocons captured one Republican president who was naive about the world. Now, amid contagious Arab rage sparked on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, they have captured another would-be Republican president and vice president, both jejeune about the world. Senor is emblematic of how much trouble America blundered into in the Middle East — trillions wasted, so many lives and limbs lost — because of how little we fathom the culture and sectarian politics. We’re still stumbling in the dark. We not only don’t know who our allies and enemies are, we don’t know who our allies’ and enemies’ allies and enemies are. Before he played ventriloquist to Ryan, Senor did the same for Romney, ratcheting up the candidate’s irresponsible bellicosity on the Middle East. Senor got out over his skis before Romney’s speech in Jerusalem, telling reporters that Mitt would say he respected Israel’s right to make a preemptive, unilateral attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. While the Muslim world burned on Friday, Mitt was in New York with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan confessing that he wears “as little as possible” to bed. With no global vision or historical perspective — he didn’t even remember during his Tampa convention to mention our troops or the years of war his party reigned over — Romney is simply kowtowing to the right again. Paul Wolfowitz, an Iraq war architect, weighed in on Fox News, slimily asserting that President Barack Obama should not be allowed to “slither through” without a clear position on Libya. Romney’s cynical braying about Obama appeasement in the midst of the attack on the American diplomatic post in Libya and the murder of the brave ambassador, Christopher Stevens, was shameful. Richard Williamson, a Romney adviser, had the gall to tell The Washington Post, “There’s a pretty compelling story that if you had a President Romney, you’d be in a different situation.” He’s right — a scarier situation. If President Romney acceded to Netanyahu’s outrageous demand for clear red lines on Iran, this global confrontation would be a tiny foretaste of the conflagration to come. Cheney, described by Romney as a “person of wisdom and judgment,” is lurking. He churlishly tried to deny Obama credit for putting Osama bin Laden in the cross hairs, cattily referring to a report that Obama had not gone to all his intelligence briefings. Well, yes. W. got briefings, like the one that warned him on Aug. 6, 2001: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” That didn’t work so well either, did it? New York Times News Service Foreign relations fumbler Diplomacy is a minefield, and Mitt Romney spent the week or more blowing up his foreign policy credentials to be president. He raised doubts about his capacity to deal with global criNicholas ses, and we Kristof were left hoping that if that 3 a.m. call ever went to him, he’d have set up call forwarding. The essential problem is that every time Romney touches foreign policy, he breaks things. He went on a friendly trip to Britain — the easiest possible test for a candidate, akin to rolling off a log — and endeared himself by questioning London’s readiness to host the Olympic Games. In the resulting firestorm, one newspaper, The Sun, denounced “Mitt the Twit.” (Imagine a President Romney making a London trip and helpfully offering off-the-cuff advice on Northern Ireland, or breaking the ice in Parliament by telling jokes about Queen Elizabeth. The War of 1812 would resume, and the British would again be burning down the White House.) Then there was the Romney trip to Israel, where he insulted Palestinians and left some Jews uncomfortable with stereotyping by praising Jewish culture in the context of making money. Hmm. After that trip, you’d have thought that on foreign policy, Romney might remember the adage: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. ■ The essential problem is that every time Romney touches foreign policy, he breaks things. Yet with the Middle East exploding in recent days because of a video insulting the Prophet Muhammad, Romney dived in with a statement that hit a trifecta: it was erroneous, inflammatory and offensive. Still, I was initially in a forgiving mood. Presidential candidates always have microphones in their faces, and it’s not surprising that periodically they say inane things. President Barack Obama himself blew it a few days ago by mistakenly asserting that we didn’t consider Egypt an ally. But Obama then had the good sense to have the White House clarify that “not an ally” in that context meant “an ally.” If Romney had similarly explained that in denouncing Obama he was actually praising the administration, the episode might have blown over. But after a night of sleep, he doubled down and repeated his denunciation of the president. That was just reckless. (Romney also underscored his ignorance by referring to the “embassy” in Benghazi, Libya. Embassies are in capitals, so it was a consulate that was attacked in Benghazi.) Perhaps the Romney campaign should invest in a muzzle for its candidate. It might even be tax-deductible! Foreign policy isn’t as glamorous as it seems. Diplomacy mostly consists of managing crazies who are making unreasonable demands in impossible situations with no solutions. And those are just our allies. The Republican Party is caught in a civil war on foreign policy, and Romney refuses to pick sides. In contrast to his approach on the economy, he just doesn’t seem to have thought much about global issues. My hunch is that for secretary of state he would pick a steady hand, like Robert Zoellick, but Romney has also surrounded himself with volatile neocons. In the Middle East, it appears he’d like to subcontract foreign policy to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu recently tried to push the United States to adopt a nuclear red line that, if Iran crossed it, would lead us to go to war there. Obama was right to resist, and it has been unseemly for Romney to side with a foreign leader in spats with the United States. (For my part, I think Obama should indeed set a red line — warning Netanyahu to stop interfering in U.S. elections.) Most dangerous of all is Romney’s policy on Iran, which can’t be dismissed as an offhand misstatement. As my colleagues David E. Sanger and Ashley Parker note, Romney muddles his own position on his nuclear red line for Iran. Plenty of candidates don’t write their own foreign policy position papers, but Romney is unusual in that he seems not to have even read his. According to clarifications from Romney’s campaign, he apparently would order a military strike before Iran even acquired a bomb, simply when it was getting close. For anyone who has actually seen a battlefield, that’s a blithe, too-light embrace of a path to yet another war. It’s emblematic of a candidate who, on foreign policy, appears an empty shell. New York Times News Service ... . timesfreepress.com OPINION • • • Tuesday, September 18, 2012 • B7 Established 1936, Roy McDonald, Founder & Publisher, 1936-1990 Frank McDonald, President and Chairman, 1969-2000 Lee Anderson, Editor, 1958-2012; Publisher, 1990-1999 Drew Johnson, Editor EDITORIALS You paid for robot porn! O ver the past two weeks, the eyes of the entertainment world have focused on Canada and the 37th annual Toronto International Film Festival. The eyes of American taxpayers, however, should’ve been fixed on wasteful lawmakers who are busy robbing them blind to subsidize outlandish film festivals here at home. The National Endowment for the Arts received $146.2 million from federal taxpayers this year to bankroll a myriad of artists and arts projects. A major emphasis of the NEA’s spending in recent years has been subsidizing film festivals. Judging by the long list of film festivals that taxpayers funded this year, it seems like no film festival is too small or too bizarre to receive a government handout. For example, the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival received $10,000 in tax money, as did the South Asian International Film Festival in San Francisco. Rather than relying on the wealthy residents and visitors of Martha’s Vineyard to underwrite the cost of the Martha’s Vineyard International Film Festival, the event’s organizers forced taxpayers to pick up part of the tab. The 2012 Environmental Film Festival was held from March 13-25 in Washington, D.C. Among the films screened at the green movie gala using an NEA grant funded with taxpayers’ greenbacks was a documentary with the gall to criticize a car company for bringing jobs and economic prosperity to a poor village in the Czech Republic. Predictably, the hackneyed hippie film fest also featured no fewer than five flicks vilifying the oil industry. Perhaps the most outrageous film festival taxpayers will fund this year is the New Orleans Film Festival. Among the gems screened at last year’s edition of the festival were “Barracuda,” a movie in which a phone sex operator drives her Plymouth Barracuda across the country to exact vigilante justice on various perverts, and “Moon Pie,” a short film that follows a man’s journey through his double-wide as he accuses family members of eating his last Moon Pie. The highlight of the most recent New Orleans Film Festival for taxpay- ers, however, had to be “The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence.” The film is a heartwarming cinematic treasure in which a gentleman named Martin abducts a dozen people, then severs their knee tendons and knocks out their teeth. Next, Martin uses a staple gun to attach the mouth of each victim to the backside of the next, creating a 12-person-long human centipede. Eventually all 12 people are brutally murdered. In addition to the film festivals that the NEA funds directly, state and local officials use federally funded NEA grants to subsidize dozens more film festivals across the United States. Such a grant allowed the Rhode Island International Film Festival to screen “Tub,” a movie in which the protagonist masturbates in the shower and, as a result, impregnates his bathtub. Closer to home, the 2012 edition of the Nashville Film Festival snagged $32,200 from state and federal taxpayers to show movies such as “Meaning of Robots.” The short film follows a man who was spent a decade making a stop-motion robot sex film in his apartment. As his collection of robot porn stars fill up his home, he finds himself literally “up to his neck in robot wieners,” according to the Nashville Film Festival program. Film festival welfare programs are the very last thing government should ever be in the business of funding. By using tax dollars to fund film festivals, politicians are suggesting that a struggling single mother’s money is better spent ensuring that filmgoers can get into a movie screening a little cheaper than it is buying food for her children. They are also indicating that it’s appropriate to force a church-going grandmother to subsidize the screening of movies like “The Human Centipede II,” even though she may find it offensive and morally repugnant. It’s time for Congress to yell “cut!” on the practice of showering the NEA with tax dollars to fund film festivals. By allowing Americans to keep those dollars in their pockets to spend as they see fit, lawmakers can finally stop the silver screen from being a black hole for taxpayers. COMMENTARY How to save Social Security By Dick Armey Welcome to the new Broadway hit: The Phantom of America, starring America’s debt. The premise of the story is that America, $16 trillion in debt, is being dragged down the path of unsustainability. The role of the Phantom is played by Social Security. Its true identity — massive unfunded liabilities and unsustainable growth — is masked by the rosy depiction of “security” for all generations that pay into the system. The antagonist — Washington — has shackled younger generations to the reins of the social system. What is separating younger Americans from crossing to the path of freedom? Weight capacity. The increasing number of baby boomers entering retirement cannot be sustained by younger generations. Privatization must make its debut, remove the mask of this evil Phantom, and restore liberty and prosperity for the future. What constitutes the system’s shortfalls are the following: ■ Social Security is the largest entitlement program and makes up around 22 percent of the federal budget. ■ America’s debt has reached dangerous levels — contributing to our credit downgrade from AAA to AA+. ■ Baby Boomers represent a quarter of the population of the United States. This generation produced a significantly smaller generation than their own, decreasing the amount of taxpayers supporting their retirement. In 1940, 42 taxpayers supported each retiree. Now, it is only 3.3 taxpayers per retiree — decreasing still. ■ Young Americans face a future of paying off massive debt that they have inherited from a compulsive spending government. Social Security must be reformed before the curtain closes on younger generations. In order to prevent its collapse, Washington must impose more taxes or decrease benefits. ■ Social Security surpluses continue to fall with an increase in beneficiaries. ■ Social Security “Trust Fund” consists of government IOUs. Surpluses of Social Security revenue are held by the Treasury and can be used to increase spending, pay off government debt, and reduce taxes. If the money is being used for such purposes, it is not being saved. Privatization of Social Security would scrap these shortfalls and bring individual control back to the table. Chile adopted this approach in May of 1981, and results have been more than exceptional. Individuals have direct control over their accounts — allowing them to switch between competing insurance companies, desired age of retirement and plans that best fit their circumstances. Results from privatization include continual increases in economic growth, generated surpluses without raising taxes or interest rates, an increase in pensions by over 50 percent, and a 5 percent unemployment rate. Critics to privatization in the United States say that it will create trillions of dollars in transition costs. These costs are derived by retirees cur- rently supported by the public system. It is estimated that the transition would cost around $3.7 trillion. However, there is a way to pay for it. Chile paid for transitions costs with unused government assets. “Suffice it to say that even though governments have enormous pension liabilities, they also have enormous assets. In Chile we had state-owned enterprises,” said Jose Pinera, Chile’s Minister of Labor. America has assets too, and plenty of them: ■ $193 billion in gold assets; ■ $919 billion in land; ■ $1.2 trillion in buildings and equipment; ■ $392 billion in mineral rights; ■ $600 billion in TARP assets and direct loan portfolios; and ■ Hundreds of billions of dollars in federally managed utilities and other government-run operations. These assets provide flexibility in transitioning to a new Social Security system. Unfunded liabilities of the current system are upwards of $11 trillion — almost 4 times as much as the cost of transition. Directly paying off the transition costs would save taxpayers trillions of dollars in future unfunded liabilities. Young Americans face a future of paying off massive debt that they have inherited from a compulsive spending government. Social Security must be reformed before the curtain closes on younger generations. Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey is chairman of FreedomWorks, a grassroots organization fighting for less government, lower taxes, and more freedom. Letters to the Editors —— ❖ —— Liberties sacrificed are a tragedy Your editorial about “9/11’s legacy of lost liberty” (Sept. 11) was right on target. The liberties sacrificed, lives lost and money wasted are a tragedy. I think Ben Franklin had it about right: “Those who would sacrifice a little freedom for a little security deserve neither.” I would remind you it was a Republican administration that subjected us to this mess. To be fair, it wasn’t the whole Republican Party but the neoconservative faction pushing this agenda. I hear certain people rant and rave about President Obama being a threat to our liberties. Well, he is a piker compared to George Bush and the neoconservatives. I still shudder remembering their claim that the president can do just about anything he wants during wartime, in effect putting him above the rule of law. Talk about a threat to liberty! Don’t forget these people had this country practicing and trying to justify torture. These neocons have been spinning their spin and beating their war drums, for quite some time now, about Iran. Iran is no threat to us. Remember, those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. RALPH JONES Soddy-Daisy Why is Obama silent on Chicago? In the Sept. 13 issue there was an editorial about the teachers protesting in Chicago (“Chicago teachers fail”). I would just like to thank the author for connecting the point that though they get paid the most, they have the poorest results. I would also like to point out that President Obama is closely associated with this same city and receives plenty of financial backing from teacher unions. How can the rest of the country continue trusting this man with our children’s education? Why won’t he say anything about it? I am amazed that he won’t take two minutes out of his day to simply demand better from Chicago. Why the silence? If the teachers unions have bought him off, will teachers begin protesting in other cities until they, too, drain the state and federal revenue? Scary thought. AVERY McKINNEY Collegedale Just another step backward The UTC chancellor’s decision to stop praying publicly and more importantly not to use Jesus’ name at football games is one more step backward for the majority. We know this isn’t about prayer but about the name, Jesus. If the New Testament is a true and accurate account, not only of history but spiritual things as well, Chancellor Brown will very possibly have some explaining to do in the eternal state. Jesus said, “Whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father.” (Matthew 10:33). This “moment of silence” will deny thousands of people to hear the name of the One God highly exalted, and bestowed on Him the “name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ... and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” (Philippians 2:9-11). Mr. Chancellor, do what TO SUBMIT LETTERS ■ Keep them topical, short (200 words or fewer), legible and not more often than one every 30 days. Letters may be edited for clarity and length and should not previously have been published elsewhere. ■ Must be signed with name, address and telephone number. ■ Send to: Editorial page editor (either Times or Free Press), P.O.

The person can end the prayer in the name of their god. I’m not advocating “Jesus only prayer” because we do have diversity in our community. I’m simply saying we should never leave out the name, when the public forum gives us opportunity. BOBBY RAY Freedom is lost without security The Free press editorial on Sept. 11 titled “9/11’s legacy of lost liberty” should be required reading for anyone who treasures freedom. We have allowed the federal government to take away some of our freedom without a commensurate increase in security. The accounting of the money spent to do this only adds insult to injury. I must point out that the machinery that allows the government to diminish our freedom and invade our privacy at great expense to the taxpayers was installed when the Republicans controlled the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Apparently, the only time the Republicans believe in small, limited government is when they are out of power. JIM OLSON View from right is refreshing Let me extend a hand of fellowship to the new editor of the right (as opposed to the wrong) side of the Times Free Press. I really liked your editorial (Sept. 12) in support of the openly gay man running for City Council in my district. That was chutzpah, dude. I may vote for him or Mr. Rico, don’t know yet. I enjoy your overall view of the world, though I hope you’ll be friendly to mass transit, which I support and rely on. It’s refreshing to see that intelligence does exist west of Interstate 95 and wish you all the best. Mazel tov! JOHN MULRY Editorial’s aside belittles deed Since Monday was Constitution Day, I was pleased to see your article titled “225 years ago today,” but as I continued to read, I came across your “aside” of Pennsylvania’s Gouverneur Morris and was appalled that you would choose to detract from the nobility of his deed with a description added purely to sensationalize the article. True, if we probed into each man’s private life we would find all sorts of things, but to purposely place it in such a significant editorial piece took away from the honor he should be given for adding the Preamble. An article about any man in public office today could carry a lot of weight if his deeds are recounted in a city newspaper, but if you decided to add an aside such as “and he picks his nose while sitting in his car,” what do you think the majority of readers are going to zero in on? The Constitution Day article deserved better than what you gave it, and because of your addition, it becomes unsuitable to place in the classrooms of the younger grades. DAR members in Chattanooga would say you missed a golden opportunity. PAT PELFREY Flintstone, Ga. Help preserve wild places This fall, millions like me will take advantage of the season by spending time in wild places. Often referred to as vacations or getaways, Edward Abbey saw these escapes differently when he wrote, “Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.” If he was right, then as our population grows and our demands on resources increase, we must find the will to preserve more wild places. Sen. Lamar Alexander introduced the Tennessee Wilderness Act of 2011 which, if passed, will do just that, re-designating almost 20,000 acres of National Forest in East Tennessee as Wilderness. It won’t cost us any tax dollars, it won’t even change the way the forests are currently managed. What it will do is ensure that we always have necessary wild places for the human spirit to be regenerated. We are fortunate to live in a place as rich and biodiverse as this. Let’s work to keep it that way so that generations to come will have these small wild havens for hiking, fishing, horseback riding, hunting, and just being. Please join me in asking our representatives in Washington to support this important legislation. JIM PFITZER Flintstone, Ga. Federal bribes are not new The paper reported that some Roman Catholic agencies are suing Health and Human Services because of the mandate regarding the so-called “Affordable Health Care Act.” Why get upset now? This kind of federal bribe is the modus operandi for these government agencies. For example, under 42 USC 666, in 1996, under the guise of “Dead Beat Dads,” every Department of Safety in the United States was enticed to force Social Security numbers on all license applications, under the threat of losing their road funds. Why did Congress grant that kind of power? How? With reckless abandon, the ABC agencies surrounding the Office of the President, EPA, OSHA, HUD, HHS, DEPT. OF EDUCATION, BATF, et al. have filled our nation with the stench of treason while states beg for a crumb of bread to regain income tax dollars back into their district. JUNE GRIFFIN Dayton, Tenn.

Budget cuts hit lock hours The Nickajack and Guntersville locks on the Tennessee River and the Barkley Lock on the Cumberland River will quit operating around the clock next year as part of the spending cuts in the budget for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. To help maintain funds for lock maintenance work, the corps said it will not operate the two locks on the Tennessee River from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. daily, starting Jan. 7. Lee Roberts, a spokesman for the corps, said such overnight cutbacks in lock operations “have previously been successfully implemented with little disturbance to navigation traffic.” See EPB, Page C3 By Ellis Smith Staff Writer The Associated Press Carlos Gonzalez and Elsa Guzman eat breakfast at a McDonald’s restaurant in New York. McDonald’s restaurants across the country will soon get a new menu addition: The number of calories in the chain’s burgers and fries. Calories on the menu McDonald’s serves up nutritional information By Mariann Martin and Susan Pierce Staff Writers A Big Mac and large order fries now comes with an extra dose of reality as McDonald’s rolled out its new menu boards with calories counts on Monday. But if you don’t want to know you are about to eat 1,050 calories — along with large amounts of fat and sodium — you can always order your favorite fast food burger from memory and ignore the new information. That seems to be what a large number of customers do, according to both national research and several Chattanooga McDonald’s customers who visited the restaurant on Monday. “A very small proportion of people actually remember they saw the calorie information and of the small number who reported seeing it, only a small portion of those actually changed their minds,” said Jason Fletcher, an associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health. The world’s biggest hamburger chain announced last week that inside and drive-through menu boards would be updated with calorie counts this week — even down to a single pat of whipped margarine. It’s a proactive move by McDonald’s before a federal law goes into effect requiring food chains of 20 or more locations to post calorie information, possibly by sometime next year. In addition the menu information, McDonald’s has announced a goal to cut sodium an average of 15 percent across its menu by 2015 and reduce added sugars, saturated fat and calories by portion sizes by 2020. It will test offering more seasonal fruit and vegetable options and additional produce side options. Research is mixed on the impact of placing calorie counts on menu boards, Fletcher said. See CALORIES, Page C3 Contributed Photo McDonald’s new menus will include the calorie count for each item. Unum will shake up management at its faltering United Kingdom division, the company announced Monday. The Chattanooga-based insurer recalled Unum UK CEO Jack McGarry to the U.S., where he will now oversee the company’s closed block of business. McGarry had been CEO of Unum UK since July 2010. Tom Watjen, president and CEO of Unum Group, in August said that Unum UK had fallen “below expectations,” and was experiencing “weakness,” as operating income in the division fell 46 percent to $30 million. “These leadership changes affect two very important areas of our company,” said Tom Watjen, president and CEO of Unum Group. “Our closed block now represents over 25 percent of our capital, and I’m confident that Jack’s significant financial and operational expertise will help us improve the performance of this business.” The closed block represents insurance products that Unum no longer actively sells and markets, but must still manage due to the large number of customers still enrolled in the plans. According to a news release, Unum’s closed block includes individual disability policies issued prior to the mid-1990s and all of the company’s long-term care business. Unum discontinued writing individual long-term care policies in 2009, and stopped selling new group long-term care policies earlier this year.

Source: Tennessee Dept of Agriculture Correspondent JASPER, Tenn. — City administrators in Jasper and Kimball are joining in an effort to force a bankrupt telecommunications company to pay franchise fees the cities claim are overdue. Trinity Communications in Jasper, which offers local cable, phone and Internet service in Marion County, has only paid franchise fees to each city once since July 2008, officials said. Jasper Mayor Billy Simpson said communication EPB • Continued from Page C1 Joe Ferguson, chairman of EPB’s board, said the upgrade proved Chattanooga’s fiber network “has long legs.” “If you’re working on new things, developing new applications, then this is the place to be,” Ferguson said. “We want this to be the place to create jobs and create wealth.” Comcast, the utility’s chief Chattanooga rival, responded to the announcement by calling attention to Xfinity’s programming choices, which currently dwarf anything available from any other provider, said Jim Weigert, vice president and general manager at Comcast Chattanooga. “I was able to watch the first Mocs game on my phone at Riverfront Nights just a few weeks ago,” Weigert said. Though Comcast offers download speeds up to 105 megabits per second for Calories • Continued from Page C1 After Starbucks posted calorie counts, they saw a drop in some purchases such as scones and muffins, Fletcher said, but the actual impact on calories purchased was unclear. A study done after New York City required restaurants to post calorie counts showed few people paid attention the information and even fewer changed their selections because if it, Fletcher said. It seems that if people make the decision to eat McDonald’s food, they are not likely to pay attention 4-WK NAV CHG %RTN NAME Vanguard Fds: DivrEq n23.57 CapValue n 11.07 CapOpp n 33.97 Convrt n 13.25 DivdGro n 17.01 Energy n 63.58 EqInc n 24.56 Explr n 82.22 GNMA n 11.08 GroInc n 31.08 HYCorp n 6.06 HlthCre n 146.63 InflaPro n 14.92 IntlExplr n 14.65 IntlGr n 18.79 IntlVal n 30.55 ITIGrade n 10.37 LifeCon n 17.44 LifeGro n 23.86 LifeInc n 14.81 LifeMod n 21.13 LTTsry n 13.06 Morg n 20.70 MuInt n 14.28 PrecMtls r n 17.58 PrmcpCor n 15.28 Prmcp r n 70.59 SelValu r n 21.18 STAR n 20.85 STIGrade n 10.85 StratEq n 21.52 TgtRetInc n 12.32 TgRe2010 n 24.58 TgtRe2015 n 13.63 TgRe2020 n 24.26 TgtRe2025 n 13.85 TgRe2030 n 23.81 TgtRe2035 n 14.36 TgtRe2040 n 23.62 TgtRe2045 n 14.83 USGro n 21.68 Wellsly n 24.54 Welltn n 34.56 -.11 -.12 -.14 -.01 -.03 -.66 -.08 -.70 -.01 -.09 ... +.31 -.02 -.05 -.12 -.20 +.01 -.01 -.08 +.01 -.05 +.11 -.07 ... +.05 -.05 -.16 -.19 -.04 +.01 -.18 -.01 -.03 -.03 -.06 -.04 -.08 -.06 -.10 -.06 -.02 +.03 -.06 NA +6.0 +3.0 +2.8 +1.5 NA +1.6 +4.5 +0.8 +2.9 +2.2 NA +2.7 NA NA +5.6 +1.2 NA NA NA NA -1.1 +3.3 +0.1 NA +2.2 +2.2 +3.9 NA +0.7 +2.9 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA +4.1 NA NA 4-WK NAV CHG %RTN Wndsr n 15.00 -.12 WndsII n 29.76 -.12 Vanguard Idx Fds: ExtMkt I n114.40 -1.01 MidCpIstPl n112.07 -.98 TotIntAdm r n24.79 -.14 TotIntlInst r n 99.16 -.55 TotIntlIP r n 99.19 -.55 500 n 135.30 -.42 Balanced n 24.14 -.05 DevMkt n 9.68 -.06 EMkt n 27.10 -.14 Europe n 25.85 -.12 Extend n 46.30 -.40 REIT r n 22.76 -.07 STBnd n 10.66 ...

He’s never talked to me, and I reported that immediately to [City Attorney Mark Mr. Raines].” In July, Kimball Mayor David Jackson said Trinity owes the city at least $10,000 in unpaid franchise fees. A company’s franchise fee is based on the number of customers that company has within a municipality, officials said. Simpson said there is no way to know how much is owed to Jasper because the only payment the city received in the last four years did not include a report breaking down the payment numbers. “We can’t get any numbers from [Trinity] concerning how many people they have on their system,” he said. Attempts to contact Trinity general manager Jim Hunter for comment have been unsuccessful. Raines said he received notice recently that Trinity has cleared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. “If they’re out of [bankruptcy], they should be back in operation. We need to get franchise money coming in.” Jasper has probably lost whatever funds it was owed when Trinity went through bankruptcy, Raines said. Ryan Lewis is based in Marion County.

However, Comcast also offers services ranging from home security and automation to mobile integration that are not available from other providers. “We think our products and services still provide the best value to what customers want and really need, and we are seeing customers respond by signing up for new services and even coming back after trying other new providers.” in Chattanooga, customers can watch multiple HD video streams in different rooms, Welch said, or play cloudbased online games. “With 50 megs, your game doesn’t disconnect, your movements are a lot smoother, and the gameplay itself is a lot smoother,” he said. “It’s not so much the faster speed, it’s a much bigger pipe.” EPB also slashed the price of its gigabit Internet speeds — the fastest in the western hemisphere — by $50 to $300. Though the gigabit service is available to all EPB’s 170,000 Chattanooga-area customers, the utility has racked up only a few dozen subscribers since it unveiled the service in September 2010. The price cut could attract a wider audience to the blistering-fast speeds, said Ronna-Renee Jackson, interim executive director of the Chattanooga Technology Council. “I think they’re heading in the right direction to make it more affordable for everybody in Chattanooga,” Jack- son said. For city boosters like Jackson, EPB’s gigabit Internet is a key building block in Chattanooga’s plan to attract new talent, especially technologically sophisticated entrepreneurs. “We’re trying to create a culture here where developers want to come here because there’s something here they don’t have anywhere else,” Jackson said. But competitors are emerging. Google is breathing down Chattanooga’s neck, as the web search giant installs its own citywide network in Kansas City. That network will be free for most customers — outside of a $300 installation charge — and gigabit service will cost $70 per month. But not until the Kansas City network is complete. Currently, Google is still in the planning stages, and the company has not revealed when it will become available. Contact staff writer Ellis Smith at [email protected] or 423-757-6315. NEW YORK — Occupy Wall Street protesters celebrated the movement’s anniversary Monday by clogging intersections in the city’s financial district, marching to the beat of drums that were a familiar refrain last year. Protesters roamed around the lower Manhattan financial district all morning in groups of a few dozen each, from one intersection to another and back again, chanting loudly about the ills of Wall Street. In total, there were a few hundred protesters scattered throughout the city. More than 100 of them were arrested by midafternoon, mostly on disorderly conduct charges. The day’s events lacked the heft of Occupy protests last year, when protesters gathered by the thousands. But Occupiers were upbeat as they spread out in their old stomping grounds, giddy at the prospect of being together again. They brushed off any suggestions that the movement had petered out. “This is a movement. It’s only been a year,” said protester Justin Stone Diaz, of Brooklyn. “It’s going to take many years for it to develop and figure out exactly who we are.” But the movement is now a shadow of its mighty infancy, when a group of young people harnessed the power of a disillusioned nation and took to the streets chanting about corporate greed and inequality. but likely will consume the same amount of calories in Mcdonald’s foods with other drinks, Fletcher said. most calories In the end, overall obesity ■ Big Breakfast with numbers change little. hot cakes, no syrup or But several local experts margarine: 1,090 ■ Chocolate McCafe Shake said they think the new menus are at least a move in with whipped cream and the right direction. cherry: 870 People who are trying ■ Angus Bacon and to adopt healthier lifestyles Cheese Burger: 790 regularly tell Dr. Jean Cates Foods with fewest calories they appreciate when res■ Caesar Salad without taurants provide nutritional Chicken: 90 information, said the psy■ Side Salad (without chologist at Chattanooga dressing): 20 Lifestyle Center.

From an impromptu survey of a dozen customers inside the Gunbarrel Road McDonald’s on Monday morning, five said that they didn’t notice the new counts and it won’t affect their orders anyway. Of the seven who did notice the listings, five said it would make a difference in the future, and two were ambivalent. “I think it’s a good thing to have listed,” said Mary Lou Koscielniack. She and her husband, Dan, had stopped in for coffee after their morning mall walk at Hamilton Place. “Especially if you want to try something new,” he added of the nutritional updates.

Obama told voters in Ohio, where the auto industry is important, of his administration’s new push for the World Trade Organization to sanction China for subsidizing exports of vehicles and auto parts — and costing American jobs. Romney responded quickly and dismissively. Obama “may think that announcing new trade cases less than two months from Election Day will distract from his record, but the American businesses and workers struggling on an uneven playing field know better,” the Republican said. Referring to his own criticism of Obama, he said, “If I’d known all it took to get him to take action was to run an ad citing his inaction on China’s cheating, I would have run one long ago.” However, it was Romney’s own campaign that preoccupied many GOP activists around the country Monday. Romney allies tried to dampen growing complaints that the campaign fumbled opportunities at its August convention, on foreign unrest and, most crucially, on the U.S. economy, which is seen as Obama’s weakest point. Campaign adviser Ed Gillespie, in a conference call with reporters, said voters want more details about Romney’s tax and spending proposals, and he promised they will come. “We’re not rolling out new policies,” Gillespie said, but the campaign wants people to “understand when we say we can do these things, here’s how we’re going to get them done, and these are the specifics.” Obama continued to taunt Romney for gaps in his deficit-cutting promises. It wasn’t immediately clear when Romney might start offering more specifics. Apple says iPhone 5 orders Unum topped 2 million in 24 hours • Continued from Page C1 The segment has assets of more than $32 billion, according to the release. Peter O’Donnell, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Unum UK, will succeed McGarry as president and CEO in the United Kingdom. His deputy, Stephen Harry, will move up The Associated Press CUPERTINO, Calif. — Orders for the iPhone 5 topped 2 million in their first 24 hours, more than double the amount of its predecessor over the same period. Since Apple started taking iPhone 5 orders on its website at 3 a.m. EDT on Friday, buyers who have a two-year service agreement with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon Wireless have been able to order the phone for $199 (16 gigabyte model), $299 (32 GB) or $399 (64 GB model). Apple said Monday that while most orders will be delivered Friday, demand for the iPhone 5 exceeds the initial supply. As a result, some of the devices are scheduled for delivery in October. The Cupertino, Calif., company’s stock added 1.2 percent, or $8.50, to close at $699.78 on Monday. The iPhone 5 represents the first major revision of the iPhone’s screen size since the first model was introduced in 2007. The new iPhone has an elongated screen — 4 inches measured diagonally — that allows room for another row of icons and lets widescreen movies fit better. The calendar will now show five days CHINA FILES TRADE COMPLAINT China filed a World Trade Organization complaint Monday challenging U.S. anti-dumping measures on billions of dollars in goods as trade tensions escalated between the two economic superpowers. The WTO said China’s complaint covered a wide range of products that China exports to the U.S, including kitchen appliances, paper, steel, tires, magnets, chemicals, wood flooring and wind towers. China estimated that the exports were worth about $7.2 billion, the Associated Press reported. The complaint stems from new powers granted to U.S. officials by Congress to impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese goods believed to be exports to the U.S. at a subsidized cost.

A Fresh Take On News 34901419 The Associated Press The new Apple iPhone 5, which features a larger screen than its predecessors, is selling at a record pace, according to Apple. at a time instead of just three. Previous iPhone models had 3.5-inch screens. The new phone is also thinner and weighs less than previous models. It can operate on LTE cellular networks and sports a new processor and updated software. T. Michael Walkley, an analyst with Canaccord Genuity, said he believes the iPhone 5’s “differentiated form factor versus the iPhone 4S” and other improvements should drive strong iPhone 5 sales. The record advanced orders on Friday and through the weekend caused Walkley to revise his previous prediction that Apple would sell 6 million of the new iPhones by Sept. 29. He now believes “Apple could ship 9 million to 10 million” in that time, he told investors in a note Monday. Janney Capital Markets analyst Bill Choi said Apple’s announcement Monday “suggests iPhone 5 is running well ahead of iPhone 4S.” In a note to investors, Choi reaffirmed his earlier expectation that Apple will sell 7 million to 10 million iPhone 5s by the end of September.

By Tim Reynolds The Associated Press By John Frierson Staff Writer Regardless of what happens at Finley Stadium on Saturday when the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team hosts No. 18 Appalachian State, it will be a good day for the UTC athletic department. That’s because its twoyear stretch on probation for what the NCAA deemed as “major” violations relating to recruiting communication — 137 impermissible text messages and 74 phone calls, primarily involving football and men’s basketball — will be complete. The NCAA Committee on Infractions also said UTC “failed to monitor” its programs’ communication with recruits properly. The 22-page NCAA report had some harsh words for UTC, but by the time it came out UTC had imposed its own penalties after self-reporting most of the infractions. Those penalties included the loss of a men’s basketball scholarship for the 2010-11 academic year, temporary recruiting restrictions for men’s basketball and recruiting suspension for a former assistant football coach, Jason McManus, who no longer was with the program when the infractions were announced. C h a n ce l l o r Ro ge r Brown, who will retire on Thursday, said it will be good to remove the “cloud” of probation that has hovered over the athletic department since the probation began on Sept. 23, 2010. The “cloud” wasn’t as bad as he anticipated, however. “It wasn’t as oppressive to me day to day, and I hope it wasn’t for the coaches,” he said. “It didn’t feel like you were shackled.” Other than being on probation and sending compliance reports to the NCAA indicating the progress made each year in monitoring coaches’ recruiting communication, it has been a rather painless two years. All the penalties imposed by UTC were completed before the infraction announcement. Nobody wants to go through an NCAA investigation or probation, but interim athletic director Laura Herron said some good has come from it. “I think it’s always good when you do that internal See UTC, Page D5 Braves outlast Miami The Associated Press Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel runs for yardage in the fourth quarter against the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday.

Tim Hudson (15-6) allowed a season-high 10 hits in five innings but still beat the Marlins for the fifth straight time. Atlanta, which swept a threegame series from Washington over the weekend, moved within five games of the idle Nationals in the National League East. Gorkys Hernandez had his first three-hit game for Miami, the rookie’s average going from .157 to .178. Bryan Petersen and Hernandez hit consecutive triples in a four-run fourth inning for Miami. Miami was without right fielder Giancarlo Stanton, out because of muscle soreness in his rib cage. Chipper Jones got the night off for Atlanta and Prado went 4-for-4 playing third base in his place, including an RBI single in the eighth inning. Craig Kimbrel gave up a one-out single to Miami’s Jose Reyes in the ninth but completed his 37th save in 40 chances. The Braves wasted little time against Marlins starter Wade LeBlanc (2-5), getting four hits and four runs in the first. Prado’s RBI single opened the scoring, and Uggla followed that with his 19th homer of the season — his third of the year against the Marlins, his former club. Uggla hurt the Marlins with his glove as well, sprawling to snare a ground ball that Petersen hit into the hole between first and second with two Marlins on in the eighth, then scrambling to make the throw to first just in time and end the inning.

Vanderbilt has never had a winning season after starting 1-3, so “the same old Vandy” could soon be a growing sentiment among followers of Southeastern Conference football. Coach James Franklin’s upbeat persona was contagious last year when the Commodores won six games and went to the Liberty Bowl in his first season, and his spirit hasn’t waned. “Within our building, our kids are positive and excited,” Franklin said Monday. “They know we can play better on a more consistent basis, so it’s more of the outside noise than anything, and I would say that’s been my biggest challenge since I’ve been here. “We had to do some things to get people excited about Vanderbilt football and change the perception of the program, but how do you do that without setting up false expectations as well? That’s probably the thing I’ve struggled with every day since I arrived here.” The subpar start hasn’t affected Franklin’s wit. Asked Monday if he had spoken to Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham since last season’s heated postgame encounter, Franklin said, “Actually, this summer our families went on vacation to Disney World. We were floating in the pool together drinking Mai Tais.” Vanderbilt opened with a 1713 loss to visiting South Carolina and a 23-13 loss at Northwestern. Those two teams are a combined 6-0, and the Commodores led each contest entering the fourth quarter. The Commodores got their first win last week with a 58-0 pounding of Presbyterian. “Our confidence has always been high,” junior tailback Wesley Tate said. “Those first two See VANDERBILT, Page D3 Falcons impress in MidNight Football win The Associated Press Atlanta defensive back Robert McClain (27) runs back one of the Falcons’ three interceptions of Denver quarterback Peyton Manning during the first quarter Monday night.

Watkins blew past Florida State defenders last year in just his fourth game as a collegiate player. He caught seven passes for 141 yards and two long touchdowns in the Tigers’ 35-30 win over FSU on their way to the ACC title. The fourth-ranked Seminoles (3-0, 1-0) host Watkins and the No. 10 Tigers (3-0) on Saturday. “He’s just a phenomenal player,” FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said Monday. “The By Patrick Brown Staff Writer Florida had success when it got its speedy players into the open field, and the Vols lost containment on the edge too many times and had their lack of defensive-back speed exposed. Solomon Patton had 28 of his 34 rushing yards on two reverses, and Frankie Hammond sprinted for about 65 yards of his 75-yard touchdown. Trey Burton, at 228 Vols • Continued from Page D1 score. With a new defense, it’s understandable that the Vols’ struggles with some of those issues continued into their third game, and Dooley suggested the Vols’ coaches could have done more to limit those problems. “It was a lot on us,” linebacker Curt Maggitt said. “We played with effort and toughness. It was just a lot of mental breakdowns and not communicating. “The defense is tough. If all 10 guys got the call and one guy is on a different call, then it could be a big play given up. We experienced that last week.” Dooley also said he played the offensive skill players too much. Receivers Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson played more than 70 snaps, and the coach included tailback Rajion Neal and tight end Mychal Rivera in the overplayed group. Hunter said he got fatigued from playing “the whole game.” “That’s my fault,” Dooley said. “It’s a classic case of you’re getting into a game against a good team, things are in control and you don’t want to disrupt it. We have to exercise trust in what we’ve been doing: rolling guys, early especially, so we’ve got every ounce of juice we need in the fourth quarter.” Dooley again admitted the Vols stopped trying to run the ball too soon and said 44 passes are too high a number “when we play these good defenses.” Tennessee called 33 pass plays to 23 run plays in taking a 20-13 third-quar- UCF appeals At Orlando, Fla., Central Florida has officially filed its appeal of a one-year NCAA postseason ban in football, following sanctions levied against it for major recruiting violations. UCF officials announced the submission Monday, a month after telling the NCAA of its intent. A 2011 investigation found the programs were involved with runners for sports agents and making cash payments to recruits. UCF was hit with one-year postseason bans for football and men’s basketball in addition to a $50,000 fine, adding two years to UCF’s previously proposed three years’ probation, reduction of basketball scholarships, the vacating of basketball victories and limits of football recruiting visit days.

You’ve got to have speed to play in this league.” Cornerback Marsalis Teague was on the wrong end of Hammond’s and Burton’s long touchdowns. Dooley said it’s too early in the week to tell if there will be any other changes in the secondary, but he made multiple references to getting some freshmen “ready to go.” Akron, the Vols’ next opponent, threw 58 passes in its last game, so Dooley expects to play more guys in the secondary. “We’re not going to into a total panic,” he said. “We’ve been playing pretty good back there. We had a stretch of bad plays. I don’t think it necessarily defines who we are. It defines what we did and what we did poorly. Time will prove that out.” Some good grades Dooley was satisf ied with how his offensive line played against Florida’s front, which the coach said had two potential NFL first-round draft picks in Sharrif Floyd and Dominique Easley. “They could all play better than they did, but we weren’t disappointed,” he said. “They went against some really good ones, and we think our guys are pretty good. We were protecting good, and then there’s times we got a little loose in the protection.” ter lead. The Vols ran the ball twice in their next 16 plays. “They call what they call and we’re going to block it to the best of our ability,” tackle Tiny Richardson said. Dooley said he was disappointed in the Vols’ lack of belief in their ability to rally from a 14-point deficit with nearly 10 minutes to go. “I felt like guys were looking at that scoreboard too much instead of saying, ‘Let’s regroup and let’s continue to go,’” Richardson said. “It was only a two-possession game, so I felt like we had enough time to get the game close or even to win it. It’s just getting guys to that mindset to where no matter how far down we are and no matter how much adversity we face, we’ve just got to keep on playing.” The Vols’ collective message after Monday’s indoor practice was the importance of moving on, and Dooley said the players were “great” in responding. “They were gutted,” he said. “It was a lot of emotional investment in that game — by the fans, by everybody associated with Tennessee. That game hurts. “I think it’s a good sign that that kind of pain is on us, because we felt like we could got toe-to-toe and we did. We screwed it up. They hurt more than I’ve seen one of our teams hurt after a loss, which they should. “It’s time to move on. We’ve got a lot of confidence in who we are and where we’re headed. That little stretch of bad ball we played, we’ve got to make it what we did and not who we are.” Contact Patrick Brown at [email protected] or 901-581-7288.

Tide have scored 94 in a row By David Paschal Staff Writer Alabama is coming off a 52-point win over Arkansas and has been listed as a 51-point favorite this week against Florida Atlantic, giving Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban all the more reason to focus on within. The top-ranked Tide have reeled off 94 consecutive points since late in the third quarter of the seasonopening thrashing of Michigan. That tops the streak of 70 unanswered points Alabama compiled from the third quarter of last season’s game at Auburn through the second quarter against the Wolverines. “There is always room to improve,” Saban said Monday. “You have never really arrived. The goal should be to make the team stronger, and we need to work on demanding more from each other so that we can become Vanderbilt • Continued from Page D1 games were tough losses, but our confidence has never changed.” Said Franklin: “We’re facing adversity right now, and that’s what we’re here to do.” The Commodores rolled this past Saturday behind redshirt junior quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels, who completed 13 of 20 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown. Carta-Samuels is a transfer from Wyoming, where he was the Mountain West Conference freshman of the year in 2010, and Franklin said he should know Wednesday night or Thursday whether he will start again this week. Jordan Rodgers was the quarterback during Vanderbilt’s stretch run last season and started the first two games this year. Franklin said Rodgers was “very upset” by last week’s change but he handled it well. Georgia has won 16 of the last 17 meetings against Vanderbilt, including the 33-28 escape a year ago in Nashville. Bulldogs coach Mark Richt believes Franklin’s two Commodores teams are the most talented that he has a better team. “It’s human nature that people respond better when things go bad, but I want to see if our players have the maturity to be able to respond even when things don’t go bad.” Alabama’s 52-0 victory was the first shutout loss for Arkansas in Reynolds Razorback Stadium since 1966. “We never really look at the scoreboard,” Crimson Tide senior guard Chance Warmack said. “Scoring 52 points is impressive, but as far as we go as a team, we just want to do the best we can and execute our plays. Regardless of what the scoreboard is, that’s all we care about.” Saban did not like having seven penalties for 74 yards at Arkansas, and he didn’t approve of the play of some of his reserves. The Crimson Tide outscored the Razorbacks 14-0 TIDE, TAKE THREE Three tidbits regarding top-ranked Alabama entering Saturday’s game against Florida Atlantic: 1. Alabama has forced 12 turnovers this season while losing only one. 2. Beginning with the humiliation of Michigan State at the Capital One Bowl in the 2010 season, the Crimson Tide are on a 17-game stretch in which they’ve allowed just 44.8 rushing yards a game. 3. Alabama’s Sept. 29 home game against Ole Miss will be shown by ESPN or ESPN2, and it will kick off at 9:15 EDT. in the fourth quarter, getting touchdown runs by fourthstring tailback Kenyan Drake and third-string quarterback Blake Sims. “Being average is contagious, and if you demand more of yourself you get more,” Saban said. “If you went out and asked some 12year-old kid what he needed to improve on, he would probably have to sit there for a half hour or 45 minutes to find something. If you went and asked Peyton Manning what he could improve on, he would probably write a novel on all the things he could do better.” Alabama did not sustain any injuries of significance against the Razorbacks. This week’s game against the Owls will kick off at 5 p.m. EDT, and it will be shown on a pay-per-view basis. Contact David Paschall at dpaschall@timesfreepress. com or 423-757-6524.

After star receiver Justin Hunter went down with a torn anterior cruciate ligament last September, the Volunteers lost their most reliable defensive back Saturday night against the Gators. Sophomore safety Brian Randolph tore the ACL in his right knee on Florida’s final touchdown and is out for the rest of the season. “We’ve just got to get the rest of the guys to step up,” safety Byron Moore said after Monday morning’s practice. “It was a huge loss as we all know, but we’ve got to move on, get the next guy to step up and get the rest of those guys ready. He was a smart player — he knew all the checks. It was good playing with him.” Randolph became a fixture on the Vols’ back line last season as a freshman and was fifth on the team in tackles with 55. His 22 stops before his injury led Tennessee this season. Coach Derek Dooley said “everybody” will have to help fill the Randolph’s role as the quarterback of the defense. Brent Brewer slides into the starting lineup next to Moore, and freshman LaDarrell McNeil, a four-star prospect who has nearly blocked two punts this season, is a backup with senior Rod Wilks. “Byron’s been playing pretty good football,” Dooley said. “He just needs to keep doing what he’s doing. Brent needs to get in there, and we’ve got to get Rod and LaDarrell going.” Moore has 20 tackles and one interception this season and knows he needs to do even more. “I feel I’ll be able to make more of a leadership role,” he said, “and I’ll make sure I get those guys ready.” most impactful freshman, maybe since [Georgia’s] Herschel Walker.” Watkins finished the season with 2,288 all-purpose yards, 13 touchdowns and All-America honors. Watkins, from Fort Myers, grew up a Florida State fan and hoped to become a Seminole. That didn’t happen as Fisher and his staff recruited wide receivers Rashad Greene and Kelvin Benjamin, who both play key roles for the Seminoles. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Watkins is far from a oneman wrecking crew with Tajh Boyd, Andre Ellington and DeAndre Hopkins among those in Clemson’s offensive arsenal.

Braves • Continued from Page D1 For a while, it didn’t seem as if such defensive heroics would necessary. Jeff Baker and Hudson had RBI singles for Atlanta in the fourth, pushing the lead to 6-0. The Braves came into the night 50-0 when scoring at least six runs. The Marlins, apparently, weren’t deterred. And for a welcome change — at least from the Miami perspective — some home-field advantage helped the Marlins get back into the game. A night after John Buck flied out to the deepest part of cavernous Marlins Park for the final out of Miami’s 5-4, 11inning loss to Cincinnati — it prompted plenty of discussion in the team’s clubhouse Monday about whether the fences are too far from home plate — the huge outfield gaps played a big role in Miami rallying. The pair of triples got Miami right back into things. Petersen’s came first, bringing home Donovan Solano and Rob Brantly, and the next by Hernandez allowed Petersen to jog home and cap a four-run outburst that cut Atlanta’s lead to 6-4.

Falcons pick on Denver The Associated Press ATLANTA — Peyton Manning kept throwing up wobbly passes. The Atlanta Falcons kept picking them off. Taking advantage of a stunning three interceptions in the first quarter, Matt Ryan and the Falcons built a big lead and held on for a 27-21 victory over the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Ryan threw the 100th touchdown pass of his career, Roddy White had 102 yards receiving and the Falcons (2-0) made a 20-0 lead stand up, if just barely. Willis McGahee scored on two 2-yard touchdown runs in the fourth quarter to give the Broncos (1-1) late hope. But Ryan connected with Julio Jones on a thirddown 6-yard pass that gave Atlanta a crucial first down with less than two minutes to go. The Falcons ran out the clock from there. For Manning and the Broncos, it’s back to the drawing board. Even though his velocity is supposed to be nearly the same as it was before four neck surgeries and missing his entire final season in Indianapolis, Manning threw a number of passes that seemed to just hang in the air long enough for the Falcons to step in front of them.

SPORTSBRIEFS Eury Jr. follows father in JR Motorsports exit COLLEGE BASKETBALL ■ LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie said doctors have ordered him to avoid any stress for 30 days in trying to bring his blood pressure down. Gillispie confirmed he’d been treated for kidney problems and abnormal headaches last week at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. The school had no comment on Gillispie, who is on indefinite sick leave and has left associate head coach Chris Walker in charge. Texas Tech went 8-23 last year, winning just one Big 12 game. COLLEGE FOOTBALL ■ BELLEFONTE, Pa. — A judge announced Monday he will sentence Jerry Sandusky on Oct. 9, nearly four months after the retired assistant football coach was convicted in the child molestation scandal that brought shame to Penn State. Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of sex abuse involving 10 boys. Judge John Cleland scheduled a hearing before sentencing to determine if Sandusky should be classified as a sexually violent predator.

Wire Reports Goodell,Vilma meet At New York, Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma met Monday with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss his suspension that was temporarily lifted. “I’ve got no expectations right now,” Vilma said as he entered NFL headquarters with his lawyer, Peter Ginsberg, shortly before 2 p.m. They came out a little more than three hours later, and Vilma called the meeting “very frank, very truthful.” Vilma was one of four players suspended in the bounty scandal. But an appeals panel this month said Goodell must clarify his rulings to ensure no part of his decisions was based on salary cap violations. That would be the jurisdiction of Wiedmer • Continued from Page D1 Thinking Fox was throwing the flag at an official in frustration, another official appeared to throw a second yellow flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. The review showed the first flag for 12 Broncos on the field was correct, which gave the Falcons a first-and-5 rather than a first-and-10. But the unsportsmanlike-penalty flag (if that’s what it was) just disappeared. Either way, Fox’s toss was a better throw to that point than his quarterback had attempted. And NFL commissioner Roger Goodell desperately needs to settle the referee strike and get these replacement officials off the field for good. But while all this drama was surrounding the Broncos, the Falcons were calmly building a 20-0 lead on two field goals, a deft 1-yard scoring toss from Atlanta QB Matt Ryan to ageless tight end Tony Gonzalez and a short run from Michael Turner. Watching Ryan hit 13 of 19 passes for 103 yards and zero interceptions was like watching Peyton in the old days with the Indianapolis Colts, when he took everything a defense gave him without giving back anything by forcing something they didn’t. Moreover, good as those Colts offenses were, these Falcons may be deeper, bigger, faster. Naturally, Manning special master Stephen Burbank. Goodell is to meet with the four players. Vilma, suspended for the entire season, requested a separate meeting. New Orleans defensive end Will Smith (four games), Browns linebacker Scott Fujita (three) and free agent defensive end Anthony Hargrove (eight) are expected to have their meeting today. Moore calls out Cutler At Lake Forest, Ill., Chicago Bears defensive back D.J. Moore questioned quarterback Jay Cutler for shoving Bears offensive lineman J’Marcus Webb during Chicago’s loss to Green Bay. Moore called Cutler’s behavior “wrong” as the team began preparations for Sunday’s game with St. Louis. Redskins lose pair At Ashburn, Va., the Washington Redskins said that two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Orakpo and defensive end Adam Carriker are out for the season. Coach Mike Shanahan said Monday that Orakpo suffered another tear of the pectoral muscle near his left shoulder in Sunday’s 31-28 loss to the St. Louis Rams. Carriker tore the quad tendon at the base of his right knee in the first quarter of Sunday’s game. made it competitive. He hit the gifted former Georgia Tech wideout Demaryious Thomas for a TD just before halftime to cut the margin to 20-7 at the break. Then — after Ryan found Roddy White for another TD midway through the third quarter to put Atlanta up 20 again — Manning pulled his team within 27-14 early in the fourth. Finally, with a little over three minutes to play, a third Manning march closed the gap to 27-21, which meant a Denver touchdown and extra point would make what had been one of the biggest, best nights in Falcons history a total bust. But Matty Ice, under pressure, hit Julio Jones for a first down on thirdand-5 to all but, well, ice the game. We’ve been watching “Monday Night Football” since 1970, watching since Dandy Don Meredith, Flatline Frank Gifford and the loquacious Howard Cosell became the most famous trio since the Three Stooges. And when Dandy and Howie were at their best, they were almost as funny. But Cosell called it quits in 1983, Meredith decided the party was over a year later and America’s game suddenly became a little less talk and a lot more action. At least until this season, when, to slightly alter the signature line Dandy Don borrowed from Willie Nelson, somebody needs to turn out the light on the replacement refs before America’s MNF party misses curfew.

Finley Stadium has surplus year By David Paschall Staff Writer Finley Stadium executive director Merrill Eckstein will announce today that the Stadium Corp. had a surplus of $46,846 for the 2011-12 fiscal year that ended June 30. Eckstein had projected in mid June that the surplus would be around $50,000, but he will provide the exact figure at today’s scheduled Stadium Corp. quarterly meeting. The total is a record surplus and the second consecutive surplus following a $19,900 gain in 2010-11. “Everything went along well all year,” Eckstein said. “We had mild weather, and UTC • Continued from Page D1 analysis, like the investigation, to see where you are weak,” she said. “And it was with our monitoring. The NCAA doesn’t give you clear guidelines on how you do it, so learning where our weak links were and investing in the software to help us track that — we know what we’re doing now.” Instead of keeping track of recruiting calls on paper as it had done for years, UTC invested in August 2010 in a software program that monitors all calls made to recruits and provides a warning when an impermissible call is being made. As for the text messages that got men’s basketball coach John Shulman and we did a good job of conserving our dollars — basically keeping energy costs down by turning things off when they should be turned off.” Eckstein said it’s way too early to draw comparisons with the 2012-13 fiscal year under way, but a soccer exhibition in July and last Thursday’s football game between UTC and Glenville State have produced two crowds close to 10,000.

Eury Jr. was crew chief for Danica Patrick and is a partial owner of the Nationwide Series team. “I had hoped he would be here for a long time, but as we’ve discussed the direction of JR Motorsports moving forward, it was clear our differences in ideas were too vast to overcome,” said Dale Earnhardt Jr., one of four owners of the race team. Earnhardt and Eury Jr. are cousins, and Eury Jr. was his crew chief for many years at the Sprint Cup level. “I love him like a brother, and you’ll never hear me say a bad thing about him,” Earnhardt said. “I know he’ll have much success in anything he does going forward.” Ryan was much more efficient than the four-time MVP, completing 24 of 36 throws for 219 yards. He hooked up with Tony Gonzalez for a 1-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, then went to White on a 4-yard score in the third period.

Tennessee’s second-year basketball coach followed up the coup that landed him fivestar forward Jarnell Stokes last December with another relentless effort that Monday brought him the commitment of another five-star prospect from across the state. Robert Hubbs III, a shooting guard from Dyer County High School in Newbern, pledged to the Volunteers less than two days after taking his official visit to Knoxville this past weekend. “The key was Coach Martin and his coaching staff,” his father, Robert Hubbs II, said late Monday morning. “He really liked the way they had been recruiting him, and all summer they had been there. They’ve been there every game pretty much showing their love and their want for my son. “When Coach Martin wasn’t able to make it, he would let us know and who was going to make it and who was going to be there. They communicated well with us. When he said he was going to do something, he did it.” Wherever Hubbs played, Martin made it a point to be in attendance. The Vols’ coach made his in-home visit to the top target in his 2013 recruiting class last week and followed up by hosting the 6-foot-5, 180-pound prospect on campus. Duke had offered Hubbs a scholarship, as had Vanderbilt, Florida, Arkansas, Missouri and others. Later in the process, Kentucky, Kansas and UCLA came calling. Hubbs’ rising stock put him 12th in Rivals.com’s rankings. “He told me from day one, ‘I’m putting all my eggs in one basket,’” Hubbs II said. “It was a gamble that a lot of coaches won’t take. He put all his eggs in one basket saying, ‘I want your son.’ “Other coaches said the same thing about, ‘We want you to be a scorer for us and we want you to be a big impact when you first get here.’ He’d done the same thing, and the thing that stood out was he said, ‘Man, if you don’t shoot the ball, you’ve got to come sit down by Coach over here. I’m going to take you out if you don’t shoot the ball, because I’m getting you to score, son.’ “ Martin proved he could recruit against college basketball’s top programs when he landed Stokes, but the Memphian’s early enrollment created an unusual circumstances that worked in Tennessee’s favor. With Hubbs, though, it was simply Martin’s effort. Hubbs’ father said he was a little surprised by his son’s choice but knew he had long liked Tennessee, and the official visit, especially the reception at the open practice before the football game against Florida, put the Vols over the top. “We knew from day one that’s what he really liked,” Hubbs II said. “It was just a different atmosphere, and it made him feel at home. Meeting the rest of their coaching staff and their family, it just felt like we wanted to be a part of that team and part of that family. “I asked him, ‘What about Kentucky? What about these others schools [like] Vanderbilt? What about Auburn? What about Duke?’ He said, ‘Dad, I want to play for Tennessee.’” Contact Patrick Brown at [email protected] or 901-581-7288.

Avg. 1.3 0.9 0.7 0.7 0.7 Since the start of the 2009 season, Russ Huesman’s first as the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football coach, the Mocs have won 18 games and lost 18. Take out the money games against Alabama, Auburn, Nebraska and South Florida, and UTC has lost 14 games to Football Championship Subdivision competition. And of those 14, eight have been decided by a touchdown or less. One of things that has defined the Huesman era thus far — the Mocs (1-2) open Southern Conference play Saturday against No. 18 Appalachian State (1-2, 0-1 SoCon) — has been the multitude of close losses. UTC’s last six FCS losses, including the 27-24 last-second loss at Jacksonville State on Sept. 9, have been by a combined 15 points. There is no one thing holding the Mocs back, Huesman said. “There’s a couple of scenarios, if you look at it,” he said. In the three 28-27 losses last season, he said UTC could have gone to overtime at Georgia Southern with an extra point instead of trying (and failing) on the two-point conversion. “Wofford, if we get a stop — that’s all we’ve got to do,” he said. “The Citadel, we needed a stop and didn’t get it.” In the 14-12 loss at Appalachian State, UTC held the Mountaineers offense scoreless. ASU won with what Huesman called a “nutty The Associated Press Appalachian State’s Doug Middleton gets to the loose ball before UTC kicker Nick Pollard (30) as ASU scores a touchdown from the Mocs’ mishandled field-goal play in the Mountaineers’ 14-12 win last year in Boone. The teams meet again Saturday. play,” returning a deflected snap on a field-goal attempt 73 yards for a touchdown and 46-yard interception return for a touchdown. “I don’t think any of those are common threads,” he said. “One of these days we’re going to make a play and win a game.” UTC has proven that it can play with some of the top teams in the FCS — last season it whipped No. 10 Jacksonville State 38-17 — but it has seldom closed out opponents when in a position to do so. In most of their tight losses, the Mocs had halftime or fourth-quarter leads. Mocs senior right tackle the FCS coaches’ poll Monday following their 52-28 home loss last Saturday to The Citadel, which jumped from No. 23 to 14.

Un d e fe ate d Woffo rd remains the SoCon’s highest ranked team at No. 6 in the coaches’ poll and No. 7 in the Sports Network poll. Georgia Southern is No. 10 and No. 11, respectively.

Adam Miller said UTC has to “finish” better in order to start winning the tight games. “ T h a t ’s w h a t we ’ ve emphasized since we came out at the start of camp; it was ‘finish.’ Our team motto is ‘Finish the fight,’” he said. “In the close games last year we didn’t always finish, and that’s what came back and got us, whether it’s one play early that we didn’t finish or something late. “We’ve got to learn to finish and those close games are going to come our way.” Hixson’s Davis has 2,019 assists Staff Reports Hixson senior volleyball setter Chance Davis surpassed 2,000 career assists Monday when the Lady Wildcats played Ooltewah and Signal Mountain at Ooltewah. Coach Janet Tate said she has tinkered with a 6-2 set at times during Davis’s three years as a starter but currently has her team running a 5-1 set so the bulk of the offense will run through her. The longtime coach doesn’t recall having a setter reach 2,000 career assists before. Tate said Davis, whose present assists total is 2,019, may not have the height to be a setter in college but possibly could be a libero with her quickness. Over the weekend in the local Tennessee Tandem tournament, Davis put 60 of 61 serves in play and also led Hixson in digs. “She’s just real consistent across the board,” Tate said. “She doesn’t get too high, doesn’t get too low. She’ll make somebody a nice little player if they’ll give her a chance.” Copper Basin 25-0 in a set last Thursday. Silverdale coach Rhonda Hawkins said at 7-0 or 8-0 she made eye contact with Couch’s mother, Dina, who was scorekeeping, and the look they shared was as if they were asking, “Could this be happening again?” Dina then got out her cell phone and began videoing. And just like the varsity match where lone server Kerri Whittaker’s father, Tom, was on the floor calling lines, so was Caroline’s father, Tim, who’s the school’s athletic director. “It’s the craziest thing,” Hawkins said. “How can this happen again at the same program within two weeks? You don’t expect to win a set 25-0. You certainly don’t expect it to happen twice in the same season.” If the philosophy is true and the paranormal happens in threes, what next, the middle school team? “They’re having a good season, too,” Hawkins said. “You never know.” United Way of Greater Chattanooga Follow us Bucs, Pirates still No. 1 VOLLEYBALL At Ooltewah OOLTEWAH 2, HIXSON 0 Ooltewah 25 25 Hixson 16 14 Highlights: O — Kelsey Chernak 16 a, 7 d; Karly Newman 8 k, 7 d; Sloan Sullivan 4 k, 9 d; Izabela Zdunek 8 d; Courtlyn Ison 5 k, 2 b; Leondra Barrett 4 k, 3 d; Josie Cain 6 d, 3 aces; Bethany Spange 5 d; Emily Grace Thompson 4 d; Heather Taylor 3 a.

The second-ranked Tigers were permitted to return to campus and the football operations building Monday evening, but Miles elected to hold only meetings and video sessions of last Saturday night’s 63-14 victory over Idaho. One practice was canceled several days before LSU’s season-opening win over North Texas because of Hurricane Isaac. “These are the first two practices I’ve lost,” said Miles, who is in his 12th season as a head coach overall and eighth at LSU. “Our team will respond.” Miles is accustomed to disruptions, having dealt with Hurricanes Katrina in 2005 and Gustav in 2008. Those storms canceled games, mean- ing Miles did not have to cancel practices and yet still play a game in the same week. The threat was called in to the university late Monday morning, six days before LSU (3-0) opens its Southeastern Conference schedule at Auburn on Saturday. “There were some tense moments around here today,” Miles said. “It was a moral issue. You couldn’t have the players come to the building. I hope they find the person who did this.” UNCOMMON PEOPLE UNITED FOR THE COMMON GOOD Join us. Help create opportunities for a better life for all.

Author tackles Alzheimer’s from patient’s view By Clint Cooper Staff Writer What’s it like in there, unable to remember what happened a few minutes ago, to recall your daughter’s name, to remember how to travel the five blocks from your home to the grocery store? The problem with Alzheimer’s disease is that you don’t remember those things and, eventually, you don’t know what you don’t know. Denise Camille Frye, an East Ridge resident and actress on various local community theater stages, wondered what it was like, too. Having seen close up a family member who began exhibiting changes in behavior, she pondered what the person herself must be thinking. That led to “Into the Fog,” a novel she wrote that provides a realistic depiction of what life is like for one of the 5.4 million Americans who have been diagnosed with the disease. The saga takes the reader from the patient’s initial denial of having the disease to its final stages — and beyond. Frye previously has been published in several trade magazines and has written two unpublished books, “The Nestries: A Fairytale for all Ages” and a memoir in third person, “Give Us This Day Our Apple Jelly,” and a three-act comedy play, “Good Grief.” “Into the Fog” is available from Amazon.com and at area Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million stores. Is there a personal reason you chose Alzheimer’s disease as the topic of your novel? There is. ... I had written a book, a fairy tale, but I couldn’t find a publisher. ... So I took a little respite. I went to the old home place in Harrison. My brother and his wife were caring for [her mother]. He was telling me about some of the hallucinations she was having. I was enthralled by that — some of the things she came up with in her demented state. Normally, she did not have a creative [streak], but she came up with Spielbergian scenes.

I wish the Hamilton Dalton County Roberts CommisCommentary sion could see the wisdom in his decision. Each time a citizen has brought a violation of the principle of the separation of church and state to them, they have opted to go the legal route, knowing the courts have historically held against their positions. Strangely, County Attorney Rheubin Taylor has led the way, costing our taxpayers in legal fees and court costs.

Several other women were also invited, but I wasn’t. I should point out that when Arlene and I attended shows in the past, I was always the one buying the tickets. I paid for her golf dues last October because she was a little short, and Dear Abby she still owes me about $1,000.

Arlene and I have shared many shopping trips together, and I have always picked up the tab for lunch. What’s your take on this? I’m crushed.-- LEFT OUT DEAR LEFT OUT: If this was a one-time event, then it’s time to straighten up and “uncrush” yourself because, regardless of how much money you have invested in your relationship with Arlene, you don’t “own” her. My take on this is that in your zeal to be a good friend you have gone overboard. If being excluded is an ongoing problem, then you and this woman are not as close as you assumed, or she has decided to take a breather. In that case, my advice is to work out a payment plan for the golf dues you are owed and widen your circle of friends. c.

I know he probably doesn’t have a red suit and a pitchfork and all that, but do you think we’d recognize him if we saw him? Doesn’t the Bible say someplace that he’s like an angel? — Mrs. D.L.L. A: Although Satan is a spiritual instead of a physical being, the Bible does tell us that at times he can assume physical form. For Billy Graham e x a m p l e , when Satan tempted Jesus to turn away from God, he may have taken on the appearance of a man — although with supernatural powers (see Matthew 4:1-11). But the Bible doesn’t tell us exactly what Satan looks like when he does put in an appearance. The Apostle Paul warned that at times Satan may seem like an angel of light — in other words, appearing to be pure and good in order to deceive us into thinking his ways are best (see 2 Corinthians 11:14). At other times, however, his appearance must be frightening and evil — because that is Satan’s true nature, whether he is seen or unseen. The Bible warns, “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). A l wa y s , h o w e v e r, remember two great truths about Satan. First, he is absolutely opposed to God and to God’s plan for our lives. And because of that, he’ll do everything he possibly can to keep us under his control and away from God. Don’t be deceived, however; his plans for us are always evil. Second, never forget that although Satan is real, he is a defeated foe — because by his death and resurrection Jesus Christ has defeated death and hell and Satan. Put your faith and trust in Christ, for some day the final battle will be fought and Satan’s power will be destroyed forever. c.

So it feels special to me because it feels like we are getting closer and closer to who these people are, and they’re really beautiful people and we get to really get in there with them. And it’s heavy.” Seth and Scott Avett didn’t set out to write a heavy record. In fact, there are moments of humor and joy among the album’s 12 tracks. But they are overshadowed by dark sentiments, reflecting how the songwriters are growing up and encountering the full range of what life has to offer even as they reach new highs in record sales, ticket sales and celebrity visibility. Much of the recording was complete before Hallie took ill in August 2011. As the group began mixing the album later, they realized they’d essentially forecast the emotions they’d be going through over the next six months as they supported the Crawfords. “I don’t claim that there was any kind of foresight to it,” Seth Avett said. “But some of this lyrically that I even wrote makes more sense to me now because of that situation. And it will definitely inform us more on future work because it’s changed. This has changed our lives, changed our work.” The band was returning from Europe when Hallie had a seizure. Crawford was on a plane and didn’t find out about the event until he landed. From that point on, The Avett Brothers went into family mode. Either Scott, 36, or Seth, 32, touring member Joe Kwon, manager Dolph Ramseur or tour manager Dane Honeycutt were at the hospital with 41-yearold Crawford and his family at all times, until the start of their fall tour last year. The situation proved that though his last name is not Avett, Crawford will always be a brother. “We probably never would have toured ever and we wouldn’t be talking right now if Bob hadn’t stepped into the picture,” Seth Avett said. “He booked the first tour, he got us on our feet and out of our local world and pushed us to get out there. ... We sort of became brothers through that same baptism by fire — the three of us getting together in a little van or pickup truck with a camper on the back and go out and conquer that kind of thing gets a person really close to his comrades.” And Crawford can’t wait to cram himself into a bus again: “Just the idea of playing music is so soothing and relaxing and kind of puts it where it needs to be,” he said.

DVD RELEASES TV-themed DVDs available today include “Get a Life: The Complete Series.” The absurd 1990 sitcom starred Chris Elliott as a 30-year-old paperboy and is a good example of the edgy, try-anything programming from Fox when it was just starting out. 13 12 12 8 4 8 4 12 13 13 4 204 204 10 9 9 13 208 204 9 12 162 156 158 159 18 5 10 10 10 6 6 6 5 201 6 5 164 6 435 225 6 166 11 11 226 26 19 21 48 17 81 61 14 39 95 104 27 20 35 28 29 31 59 58 33 42 179 36 43 22 126 178 244 37 25 70 109 16 103 74 44 53 118 52 7 69 41 15 124 47 83 40 96 24 30 2 2 49 58 52 69 62 68 39 41 65 14 85 34 47 23 31 32 53 43 50 33 30 144 35 60 51 44 107 120 25 66 311 48 55 127 36 64 37 24 63 27 59 26 28 56 49 45 57 11 11 11 11 7 2 49 58 52 69 62 68 39 41 65 14 85 34 47 23 31 32 53 43 50 33 30 144 35 60 51 44 107 101 25 66 311 48 55 127 36 64 37 24 63 27 59 26 28 56 49 45 57 5 29 29 67 67 15 15 2 46 58 52 69 62 68 39 41 65 14 85 34 47 23 31 32 53 43 50 33 30 144 35 60 51 44 107 101 25 66 311 48 55 127 36 64 37 24 63 27 59 26 28 56 49 45 57 226 26 19 21 48 17 45 61 14 39 95 104 27 20 35 28 29 31 59 58 33 42 179 36 43 22 126 178 244 37 25 70 226 26 19 21 48 17 81 61 30 39 95 104 27 20 35 28 29 31 59 58 33 42 179 36 43 22 86 178 244 37 25 70 16 103 78 44 75 118 8 44 47 62 49 71 77 43 40 73 17 18 32 26 55 27 31 25 39 65 34 48 113 36 54 64 68 22 21 52 75 35 67 59 103 37 72 33 121 70 45 50 63 24 60 66 46 74 16 103 78 44 56 85 52 7 69 41 15 34 47 83 40 265 24 23 53 78 2 2 7 69 41 15 34 47 252 40 265 29 24 67 30 15 2 CINEMAX 320 515 520 515 320 15 520 DISN 136 43 43 54 64 57 HBO 302 500 500 500 302 302 500 HBO2 303 501 502 501 303 303 502 HBO FAM 305 503 504 503 305 305 503 SHOWTIME 340 400 400 600 340 14 540 TMC 350 408 406 408 350 62 560 SERIES NOTES ■ Jimmy’s wedding plans take a backseat to terror on “NCIS” (8 p.m., CBS, repeat, TV-14). ■ More tricks than treats on “The Middle” (8 p.m., ABC, repeat, TV-PG). ■ Zoe’s dad (Gary Cole) returns on “Hart of Dixie” (8 p.m., CW, repeat, TV-PG). ■ Animal rights and wrongs on “Last Man Standing” (8:30 p.m., ABC, repeat, TV-PG). ■ Revenge looms large on a two-hour helping of “NCIS: Los Angeles” (9 p.m., CBS, repeat, TV-14). ■ Dallas tryouts on “The Next” (9 p.m., CW, repeat, TVPG).

'TVMA' David Arquette 'TVMA' Food Network’s ‘Chopped’ is a real pressure cooker By Madeleine Marr The Miami Herald • Continued from Page E1 I found out just about everyone I spoke to had someone affected by Alzheimer’s. They said, I know somebody or they were somebody who is affected. It was very easy for me to research what it was like to care for somebody who actually had it. I had hands-on interviews with people — a lot of relatives or in-laws and friends. It was really not difficult at all to get that information on what it was like. A Roberts • Continued from Page E1 Chancellor Brown has taken on the issue. Listen to his grand reasoning: “We have to make sure there is never anybody who goes away from our campus that feels like they have been excluded. This is becoming a very diverse city, and there are faiths from all around the world who live on this campus and in the community.” You have a perfect right as a Christian to pray in the name of Jesus, but you don’t have a responsibility to always pray in that manner. Common sense should dictate that there are occasions where we can show respect for the religions of our fellow brother and sisters on spaceship Earth. Bear in mind that Jesus taught us only one prayer, and it is not offered in his name but to his father. Where did you turn for your medical advice? There is an awful lot of research on the Internet. I was in touch daily with the Alzheimer’s Association to keep up with the figures. I was flabbergasted at the number of people who are affected by Alzheimer’s. I had no idea it was so prevalent in America. What should readers learn from your main character about Alzheimer’s disease? The most important thing they can learn is [that many people] actually have Alzheimer’s before they suspect it. Long before the symptoms actually show, they can have the disease. The symptoms are so subtle. People are ready to believe that that’s all it is — loss of memory, lapses, day-to-day things you associate with aging — [but] it may not be. If you start having problems with memory lapses, I definitely think it’s important to be checked by a physician early in the game to see if it’s something to worry about or can be treated. What did you learn about yourself in writing this book? That I had kind of removed myself from reality [with the subject]. I had no idea it was so wide- I loved the late Rev. H.H. Battle and remember how his public prayers were offered “in the name of Almighty God.” The Quakers taught me that prayer is more listening than talking. Alfred Thatcher visited me in the hospital and, in appreciation, I went to one of their services. It changed my life. They gathered in a circle and just sat in quietness. I kept wondering when someone would start the service but came to see the service started when they got quiet. I decided to join them and quieted my mind. It was a marvelous experience and has been my way of prayer since that time. Jesus warned of those who would think they would be heard because of their “much speaking.” I do think most of us would rather talk than listen, but I am certain that in prayer, of all things, we will learn and experience more by listening. If God wanted to speak clearly to us, I wonder when we would get quiet enough to hear. Our pace of life is so hectic that our minds stray like a squirrel. If we made a habit of stilling our minds before our meetings, I think we would be more aware of our Maker and our place in the universe and make sounder decisions. My favorite verse in the Bible is “Be still and know I am God” (Psalm 46:10). I think it does no violence to the verse to read it as “Before your meetings, be still and you have a better chance of realizing I am God.” I admit some of this is the view of a person who desires to live as a Christian in the world, but I do think Chancellor Brown has gone beyond that to make us aware of our responsibilities as citizens of a great and growing multifaith city.

Q A Q A Q A Almost 40 percent lack life insurance Sun Sentinel Almost four out of 10 adults do not have life insurance to financially help their families after their death, according to a new survey by a company owned by Bankrate.com. However, many of those lacking life insurance don’t necessarily need it: They’re under 34 and not married, the online survey by InsuranceQuotes.com found. They also tend to earn the least. In fact, 45 percent of those surveyed said life insurance “costs too much.” However, InsuranceQuotes.com found that more than two thirds of those who do have life insurance are paying under $100 a month and almost half are paying under $50 a month. The most common level of coverage reported by those who have life insur- ance was between $25,001 and $100,000. Some 34 percent said they have between that amount of life insurance. Those with life insurance policies tend to be the oldest surveyed. Only 27 percent of those 55 and older do not have some sort of life insurance that typically is used to pay for funeral expenses and financial support of survivors, according to the survey. spread and so big a problem. It was a shocker and eyeopener for me. Does your stage work correlate at all with writing a novel? My background in the theater helped me a great deal in putting myself in the place of the protagonist. That’s something you have to learn to do in theater — to put yourself in someone else’s shoes for a while. It helped me develop my character.

Q A NEXT UP • Continued from Page E1 the company’s previous productions of the musical. The first time, she was a workhouse boy and sang in a handful of songs. This time, the requirements are more significant but also more rewarding. “It’s very different being the lead from having a small part, but it’s a good different,” Emmaline said. “Being the main role is a lot of fun, and it requires a lot of work. “If I mess up, there’s no one else to cover up for me. That’s pretty different.” Labronda Champion said she and her husband, Shayne Champion, initially were convinced their daughter was destined to be a dancer after watching her re-enact dance scenes from Barbie movies as a toddler. Despite a few years of lessons in tap and ballet, however, her interest in dancing soon waned. It soon was replaced by singing, which has continued, along with acting. Despite Emmaline’s obvious interests in dancing and singing, Mrs. Champion said she never expected Emmaline to follow her older sister and brother onto the stage. When she was younger, Emmaline was always shy, but being in the spotlight has had a transformative effect on her, said Champion, who sewed the production’s costumes and also is portraying a minor role. “It’s important to [Emmaline] that she does her very best in whatever she’s doing,” she said. “She’s had to do many challenging things in ‘Oliver,’ and I think that has to help building her confidence.” Dedication to understanding Oliver and his motivations helped Emmaline stand out during auditions, said Ever After Productions’ run of “Oliver, The Musical” at the Catoosa Colonnade (264 Catoosa Circle, Ringgold, Ga.) will conclude with three shows this weekend at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Emmaline Champion will appear in all performances but will play the lead in only the Saturday evening show. Tickets are $12-$15. Call 706-935-9000 for more information. TALENT SHOW Do you know a child age 17 or younger with a precocious talent in academics, athletics or the arts? The Times Free Press is searching for children to feature in “Talent Show,” which appears in the Life section on Tuesdays. To nominate a child as a possible subject of a future feature article, email staff writer Casey Phillips at cphillips@ timesfreepress.com or call him at 423-7576205. Jonathan Humble, the executive director and co-producer of “Oliver.” And even if she needed help in locking in the finer points of masculine fisticuffs, she brings a maturity to her performance that belies her youth, he said. “She steps it up and goes above and beyond what you would expect of someone her age,” Humble said. “[Onstage,] you see Emmaline come alive. She really reaches out and grabs your heart.” Contact Casey Phillips at cphillips@timesfreepress. com or 423-757-6205. Follow him on Twitter at @Phillips CTFP. Blocks challenge kids, boost brain development McClatchy-Tribune News Service Creative play is an important part of your child’s development. There are a lot of building blocks out there. But there are none quite like Kapla. Each pine plank is exactly the same size, shape and weight. The uniformity of the planks lets you build truly amazing structures using only gravity and balance to hold them in place. No snaps, clips, glue or interlocking parts necessary. All you need is a little ingenuity and hand-eye coordination, which experts say can actually help kids learn to read. People of all ages will love the challenge of Kapla Blocks.
