FEMA dropped from Kmart lawsuit BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A judge agreed this week with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s motion to be released from Kmart’s lawsuit over the May 2010 flood in
Corinth. U.S. District Judge Glen H. Davidson entered the order on Monday. The court agreed with FEMA’s argument that it had no jurisdiction in the case because of sovereign immunity. FEMA
also argued that the Flood Control Act of 1928 exempts the United States from liability for flood damage and that Kmart’s claims are barred because they concern flood mapping, among other arguments.
and Kansas City Southern Railway Company. The suit alleges that Kroger, Kmart’s neighbor at Fulton Crossing, sits in a floodway
As a result of damages incurred in the 2010 flood, the Kmart Corporation filed suit against the City of Corinth; FEMA; The Kroger Co.; E&A Southeast Limited Partnership; Fulton Improvements, LLC;

Flag day honors national symbol
Schools board accepts construction projects bids
BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Today is Flag Day — a day celebrating the most important visual symbol of the American nation. “Flag Day is a day set aside by the government for people to honor our national symbol: the U.S. flag,� said Alcorn County Veteran Services Officer Bill Parker. “The main reason is to honor the symbol and the veterans who have the full measure to keep that flag flying, and to remember what it took to create this country and keep it free.� Around Flag Day each year veterans organizations hold ceremonies to destroy U.S. flags no longer fit for service and educate the public on the proper way to retire an American flag. The way to retire a flag properly is to burn it, Parker explained. “It’s not called a ‘flag-burning’ ceremony — it’s a ‘flagretirement’ ceremony,� he emphasized. The Corinth American Legion held its annual flag retirement ceremony during the Memorial Day weekend. The local chapter of Veterans of Foreign War conducted a similar ceremony last weekend. Participants build a bonfire, then place the retired flag on the fire. Then, participants take the ashes to a place of burial, usually near a Legion or VFW post building.

The Alcorn Career and Technology Center is providing a model for the whole state when it comes to designing an electronic school newsletter. Jennifer Koon, vocational counselor for the ACTC reported on the newsletter’s recognition at the June meeting of the Alcorn School District Board of Directors. The Career and Technology Center’s newsletter was recently recognized by the Mississippi Department of Education and will be used as the MDE as an example of best practice. The MDE has asked Koon to attend two statewide conferences and present information concerning how the Alcorn Career and Technical staff works together to create the newsletter. She will also
document vocational activities which meet state objectives, make positive parent contacts, make contact with academic faculty, make contacts with business and industry and highlight students’ achievement. “Teamwork is the key to the success of the newsletter,� Koon explained. “It takes all Career and Technical personnel working together, sending in articles and photos.� The ACTC instructors create one electronic newsletter each nine weeks during the school year. The newsletter is called the “Alcorn Career and Technology Times.� Once the newsletter is created, it is posted to the Alcorn School District’s website and the Alcorn Career and Technology Center’s school website.

Walters is expected today. Funeral services for Walters are set for 11 a.m. Friday at Cutshall Funeral Home Chapel in Iuka. She was a student at Iuka Elementary School, a Girl Scout and played on the Friendly Florist softball team.

Steel Bridge. Her father pulled her from the water, and paramedics took her to North Mississippi Medical Center-Iuka, where she was pronounced dead. The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department and state wildlife authorities are investigating.

Open primaries allow competition of best candidates This month, California will actually follow a trend, for once. And for once, it’s a trend Mississippi would do well to emulate. Last year, California voters passed a referendum making California an “open primary” state. In an open primary, all voters — regardless of party affiliation — can vote in the primary elections. The top two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, meet in the general election. It could be two Republicans, two Democrats or, theoretically, Ron Paul and his brother, RuPaul. Hey, it’s California, after all. Louisiana has had what it calls a “nonpartisan blanket primary” since 1976. In Hawaii, all state and local races are conducted in open primaries. Washington adopted the open primary in 2008. But, believe it or not, the best argument for open primaries came after the 2010 National Football League season. That season, the Seattle Seahawks earned a spot in the playoffs with a 7-9 won-loss record while the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers missed the playoffs despite having 10-6 records. As you might imagine, there was wailing and gnashing of teeth in New York and Florida and rather sheepish grins in the Pacific Northwest. Elsewhere, the circumstances that created this injustice (were) widely criticized. Seattle was unworthy of the playoff spot, was the general consensus. The Seahawks did earn a measure of redemption by beating New Orleans in the opening round of the playoffs, but that has little to do with the main point. The situation that allowed a 7-9 team to make the playoffs while two 10-6 teams did not is essentially the scenario that can play out in a closed primary. The NFL is a closed primary. Win your division and you make the playoffs, regardless of your record. It doesn’t matter if there are more deserving teams with better records. ... It’s that way in politics, too. Often, the best two candidates meet in a primary with one emerging to meet a lesser foe in the general election. ... We would all be much better off as a state if we flung the primaries open and let the best two candidates duke it out for the real prize. It’s doubtful that could happen in Mississippi, of course. The idea would be considered too progressive. That would never do, of course. ... — The Commercial Dispatch, Columbus
Prayer for today As Jesus taught us, we pray, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.” Amen.

Britain’s Iron Lady warned us LONDON — One of many things left out of the film “The Iron Lady” was Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s warnings on the effects a single currency would have on the economies of European nations. Thatcher’s premonitions place her among the great political prophets of all time. On the single currency, Peter Oborne, a columnist for the London Daily Telegraph, writes, “Mrs. Thatcher foresaw with painful clarity the devastation it was bound to cause. Her autobiography records how she warned John Major, her euro-friendly chancellor of the exchequer, that the single currency could not accommodate both industrial powerhouses such as Germany and smaller countries such as Greece.” Thatcher predicted the currency would harm poorer countries because it would “devastate their inefficient economies.” The idea of a European Union modeled on the United States was unlikely to succeed from the beginning because, unlike American states, European countries lack a common bond. There are different languages, different histories (Colorado, for example, never invaded Nebraska) and different re-
ligions, including for six decades, atheism imposed by communist dictators in Cal Eastern EuThomas rope. How can Columnist a European “E Pluribus Unum” be forged out of that? BBC reporter Laurence Knight stated the obvious when he summed up Spain’s financial disaster by noting its citizens during the relatively brief “good times” of the 1990s spent much more on housing and other material goods than they could afford. Sound familiar? Living within one’s means was a lesson forgotten by individuals and governments, whose main preoccupation -- in Europe and America -- has been giving people what they want in hopes they’ll re-elect the politicians who dispensed the goodies. That formula has contributed to an unemployment rate in Spain approaching 25 percent. Spain last weekend was approved for a bailout of up to $125 billion from the eurozone, the fourth country to ask for a loan since Europe’s debt crisis began.
Knight wrote last month, “Unfortunately for Spain, it shares a currency with Germany. That means Spain can no longer simply devalue the peseta -- something that would automatically make its workers cheaper and more competitive in the world. There is no peseta to devalue.” As columnist William Rees-Mogg wrote last Friday in The Times, “So far as British opinion goes, Europe is seen as a cost to be borne rather than a loyalty to be cherished.” After all this, the “conservative” British government, still ignoring Thatcher’s warnings, is proposing a referendum that, if approved by voters, would move Britain closer to the European Union. The Daily Telegraph reported, “EU leaders are discussing moves toward more integrated financial, fiscal and even political systems among the 17 countries that use the euro.” Are they mad? Why would Britain want to associate itself with governments and economies (and people) that have behaved so irresponsibly? During the Cold War, Britain did not try to integrate its economy with that of the Soviet Union. In Europe, union has not brought unity, nor can it. Does Brit-
ain want to share more of the continent’s misery, or should it try instead to point its people and the eurozone states to real change with freer and more empowered individuals, not government, leading the way? Again, Margaret Thatcher was right when she said, “A democratic Europe of nation states could be a force for liberty, enterprise and open trade. But, if creating a United States of Europe overrides these goals, the new Europe will be one of subsidy and protection.” Most profoundly, Thatcher warned, “We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them reimposed at a European level with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels.” That is precisely the siren call the “conservative” British government now hears. It is a call, that, if answered “yes” by voters will wreck Britain’s struggling economy and potentially cause it to go down the drain along with most of the other economies on the continent. Today’s politicians can’t pretend they were not warned. (Readers may e-mail Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.)
Federal programs prospects dire on campaign eve Speculation is rampant the Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutionality of all or part of the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) will be rendered shortly. That and other events are converging in the campaign to possibly alter its direction. Thus, it seems to be prime time to consider the potential course of events and their ultimate impact on the State of Mississippi. The debate is settling into one almost exclusively on the economy. That is as close to a home field advantage as Mitt Romney could possible achieve. The central question now and likely for much of the rest of the campaign is whether we redouble governmental efforts to target money through government programs to the masses of working and middle class citizens in hopes of lowering unemployment as the Democrats are desirous of doing. Or do we engage in an all out assault on the burgeoning federal deficit by severely cutting government spending and regulation as the Republicans demand. Let us first assume two major sets of circumstances will be played out between

now and the end of January 2013. The first is the demise of the Affordable Marty Care Act, Wiseman whether at the hands of Stennis the Supreme Institute Court or as a result of the oft-repeated Romney promise he would see the law is repealed in its entirety on his first day in office. Secondly, we may assume for discussion purposes the GOP will win the presidency and will gain a majority in both the United States Senate and House. In such case, the cutting assault on federal programs as regards to the deficit would be in high gear. In the case of the Affordable Care Act, up to 600,000 Mississippians would be released back into the individual health insurance market to provide for their own health care. Any further assistance for those with special needs or who are indigent would be a decision left up to the states, Mississippi included. Beyond that, the debate on the economy and the federal budget will turn
on the provisions of the “Ryan Budget” introduced by Wisconsin Republican Congressman Paul Ryan. Those requirements, perhaps the remaining features of the bi-partisan Bowles/ Simpson plan, are favored by candidate Romney. New numbers from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Internal Revenue Service were just compiled by the Talking Points Memo, an online political news organization. Its analysis becomes quite intriguing when this turn of events is considered. Mississippi’s dependency on federal programs is significant. In fact, West Virginia leads all states in receiving $2.83 in government services for every dollar in federal taxes paid. Mississippi is close behind at $2.73 in government services for every dollar sent to Washington. Included in these services are such things as Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, Income Assistance (TANF and others), food stamps, unemployment insurance, veterans benefits, education assistance, payments to Native American populations and several other programs.

When the programs are discontinued altogether, or greatly reduced as is recommended by the Ryan Budget or Bowles/Simpson, the states are allowed to pick up the cost or to choose to allow these services to cease to exist. Now this will be a tall order for Mississippi, but it appears to be one a majority of Mississippians eagerly anticipate. This could be particularly burdensome in the area of education whether the issue is Pell Grants and Guaranteed Student Loans or all manner of federal aid to early childhood and kindergarten through 12th grade public education. When all is said and done, Mississippi may not be a prominent player in the electoral process because its preferences are already wellknown. It is clear, however, Mississippi will potentially feel the impact of this election as much or more than any state in the union. (Dr. W.

State Man loses postconviction appeal JACKSON (AP) — The state Court of Appeals has denied a postconviction petition from Ferlando Esco, who was convicted for his role in an armed robbery and shooting at a Madison restaurant in 2005. Esco says he deserved a new trial because a co-defendant recanted his testimony in which he implicated Esco. The Appeals Court said Tuesday that it agreed
with the trial judge that Esco’s guilt was established by other evidence in the case and Johnson’s attempt to recant his testimony against Esco lack credibility. Esco was sentenced life in prison for his role in the incident. Prosecutors say Esco and two other men were accused in the shooting of a Canton man in the parking lot of McDonald’s on U.S. 51 in Madison. Two other men pleaded guilty in the case.

Man sentenced for sexual battery TUPELO (AP) — A Verona man has been sentenced to two consecutive life terms for the sexual battery of his wife’s granddaughter. Lee County Circuit Judge Paul Funderburk sentenced Timothy W. Stratton on Tuesday to life in prison for each of two sexual battery convictions. Stratton was convicted in May. Prosecutors say Strat-
ton was accused of committing the crimes against a 13-year-old girl in 2010. Stratton was indicted in 2011. The girl, now almost 15, testified earlier this week. Prosecutors say the girl is mentally challenged with the mental abilities of a 6-year-old.

Are you at risk for Skin Cancer? One person dies from melanoma almost every hour. A common misconception is that you cannot die from skin cancer. Unfortunately, about 8,000 people will die of melanoma in the U.S. this year. It is estimated that 2,800 people will die of non-melanoma skin cancer this year as well. The sad thing is that most of these deaths could have been prevented by following easy skin cancer prevention methods.

plant it is building in Kemper County is $366 million over budget. The overrun would push the total cost of the coalfired power plant being built by the unit of Atlantabased Southern Co. to $2.76 billion. That’s only $110 million short of the $2.87 billion cost cap imposed by the Mississippi
Public Service Commission. The overrun was disclosed May 10 to the firm hired by the PSC to monitor construction. That disclosure, in turn, was passed on to state regulators in the monitor’s most recent report. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report Tuesday.

School union wins ‘right’ to eat expired food Associated Press
SHARPSVILLE, Pa. — Unionized cafeteria workers in one western Pennsylvania school district have won the right to eat expired food for free — at their own risk. The Herald of Sharon, Pa., reports Monday that the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Employees filed a grievance against the Sharpsville Area School District last year after school officials “violated established past practice� by no longer allowing workers to eat the expired food for free. The newspaper got a copy of a settlement approved by
the school board last month. Under the agreement, food items that are past their expiration date or reheated in a way that they can no longer be served to students may still be eaten for free by the cafeteria workers. Workers must pay for unexpired food they eat.

Trouble for nominee to be envoy to Iraq WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are pressing the White House to dump its nominee to be the next U.S. ambassador to Iraq, citing concerns about his abilities and judgment amid allegations that he acted inappropriately while working at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad during President George W. Bush’s second term. GOP members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have drafted a letter to President Barack Obama calling on him to withdraw Brett McGurk’s nomination. In the letter, they say McGurk “lacks the leadership and management experience� needed for the job. The senators said their “strong concerns� about McGurk’s qualifications were amplified by emails detailing what they called his “unprofessional conduct.� A senior administration official said Wednesday the White House and State Department were discussing how to proceed. “Recent information has surfaced to call into question the prudence of moving forward with the nominee at this time,� they said. Those emails indicate that McGurk had an intimate relationship with a Baghdad-based female American journalist while he was married to another woman and working at the embassy there in 2008. McGurk has since married the reporter, Gina Chon, who resigned from the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday after acknowledging that she violated in-house rules by showing McGurk unpublished stories. A copy of the letter, which congressional aides expect will be signed by as many as six senators and sent to the White House later Wednesday, was obtained by The Associated
Press. “We believe the nominee lacks the leadership and management experience necessary to head America’s largest embassy, in one of the world’s most volatile regions,� they said. The senators complained that McGurk, who was first assigned to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad as a National Security Council staffer during the Bush administration and then led negotiations with Iraqi officials over an agreement that would govern security cooperation after U.S. troops left the country, had also alienated some Iraqi politicians. “Finally, the public release of information detailing unprofessional conduct demonstrates poor judgment and will affect the nominee’s credibility in the country where he has been nominated to serve,� the senators said. “Together, these issues cannot be overlooked. The U.S.-Iraq relationship is of the utmost importance to us, and we respectfully request that you withdraw this nominee and nominate someone with the qualifications necessary to ensure success in this position.�
Powell opposes US intervention in Syria WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he’s against any direct U.S. military involvement in violence-ravaged Syria. Powell calls the killings tragic, but says there’s little the United States can do to stop it. Powell tells CBS “This Morning� he thinks “it is really a civil war.� But the retired Army general says “I don’t know that there is much the United States can do except work with the international community.� He says, “The question always comes down to, is someone going to intervene. I don’t think we can do this. ... I don’t sense any energy to do that.�

No timetable for Bryson’s return WASHINGTON — The White House said Tuesday there was no timetable for Commerce Secretary John Bryson’s return from medical leave, as California officials indicated the Cabinet member may not face criminal charges if a blood test shows no sign of drugs or alcohol. President Barack Obama spoke with Bryson briefly Tuesday morning, their first conversation since the secretary suffered a seizure connected to two traffic accidents Saturday. “The president encouraged Secretary Bryson to focus his thoughts on his own health and on his own family,� White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. Investigators are awaiting a blood test to determine if Bryson was under the influence while driving in the Los Angeles area. A Breathalyzer test administered to Bryson shortly after the crashes didn’t detect any alcohol, authorities said. The test results could come back as early as Wednesday. “If it comes back clean, it’s highly unlikely there will be criminal implications,� said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Bryson, a 68-year-old former utility executive, informed the White House Monday that he was taking a medical leave of absence to undergo tests. He did not specify how long he would remain on leave but said he would not perform the functions and duties of the office “during the period of my illness.� As secretary, Bryson is a member of the president’s economic team and has advised on energy issues. Deputy Secretary Rebecca Blank was named acting head of the Commerce Department in Bryson’s absence, and the White House said she had the president’s confidence. Authorities said Bryson was driving alone in a Lexus in San Gabriel, a community of about 40,000 northeast of Los Angeles, when he struck the rear of a vehicle that had stopped for a passing train, authorities said. He spoke briefly with the three occupants and then hit their car again as he departed, investigators said. They followed him while calling police. Bryson was cited for felony hit-and-run, although he has not been charged. The secretary then struck a second car in the nearby city of Rosemead, where he was found unconscious in his car, authorities said. Government officials said Monday he had had a seizure.
House holds contempt vote on AG Holder WASHINGTON — A House committee looking into a flawed gunsmuggling probe in Arizona announced Monday that it will consider holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress next week for failing to produce some documents the panel is seeking. The committee has scheduled a contempt vote for June 20. To date, the Justice Department has produced 7,600 pages of material to the committee.

Economists expect U.S. consumer prices remained unchanged for the second month in a row in May. Falling gas prices are helping to offset modest increases in food, clothing and housing. Over the past 12 months, prices have risen 2.3 percent, the smallest increase in more than a year. The Labor Department releases its seasonally adjusted consumer price index for May today.

Woods faces big test at Olympic The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Beaten down at Augusta, now the man to beat at the U.S. Open. The expectations that have followed Tiger Woods this year are a lot like the fairways at The Olympic Club — up, down, often sideways. He couldn’t close out tournaments the way he once did. He lost his putting stroke. His left Achilles tendon might be more of a problem than he was letting on. He had his worst finish ever at the Masters. He missed a cut. And in the midst of such a gloomy outlook, Woods won by five shots at Bay Hill and delivered an uppercut fist pump at Memorial when he chipped in for birdie to complete a stunning rally for his second win of the year.
So when the question came up Tuesday at the U.S. Open — whether Woods had to win a major to end such prognosticating — he all but rolled his eyes. “I think even if I do win a major championship, it will still be, ‘You’re not to 18 yet’ or ‘When will you get to 19?’ It’s always something with you guys,” Woods said. “I’ve dealt with that my entire career, ever since I was an amateur and playing all the way through and to professional golf. It hasn’t changed.” Even so, this U.S. Open figures to go a long way toward figuring out how close he is to returning to the top of golf. Woods couldn’t stop talking about how the U.S. Open presents the toughest test players face all year — so
tough that he probably won’t be talking to Phil Mickelson, his longtime rival who will be playing with him in the opening two rounds. “This is one of those championships that I think the guys talk the least to one another because it’s so difficult,” he said. Woods looks as equipped as ever. Two weeks ago, he played so well at Muirfield Village that he was ranked in the middle-of-the-pack in putting and still rallied from four shots behind to win. He has talked about playing well in spurts, and conceded after that win — the 73rd of his PGA Tour career — that he hit the ball great all four rounds. Just like that, he became the betting favorite at Olym-
pic Club to get his 15th major — and first since the 2008 U.S. Open — and resume his pursuit of the record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus. Then again, his win at Bay Hill made him the pre-tournament rage at the Masters, and he tied for 40th. “I guess lately, we don’t know what to expect from him,” Steve Stricker said. “When he wins, we’re all eager to look ahead and think that he’s going to be back to where he was in the early 2000s or whenever he was at the top of his game. I think that just shows you the ability that he has, and what people see in the type of player that he is, and the type of shots that he’s been able to hit over Please see OPEN | 9
Finals questions: How will Heat bounce back? The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma City Thunder ran away with Game 1 of the NBA Finals 105-94, controlling the second half and rallying from a 13-point deficit to protect home court against the Miami Heat. But as Heat guard Dwyane Wade said, the opener is “just a game to see” what both teams are going to do and then start making adjustments. With Game 2 looming Thursday night, here’s five questions and answers about what to look for:
Can anybody stop Kevin Durant? LeBron James says yes, and it starts with not giving the three-time scoring champion open looks. Durant was left unguarded several times and he didn’t miss the open 3-pointers and jumpers. James says those shots have to go, though Thunder opponents have been trying to do that since Durant hit the game-winner against Dallas in Game 1 of the first round. Durant also scored 16 straight points — and 18 overall in the
fourth quarter — to help the Durant made six of 10 shots Thunder tie the West finals at and scored 17 points in the two games apiece. final stanza, continuing to cement himself as the best closer in the game.

the years, and the uncanny ability to just get it done and win golf tournaments. “So when he does win one, I think that’s why we’re all quick to hop on his bandwagon.” Woods sees a different trend from the first major of the year. He managed his game at Bay Hill, in part because of a sloppy start by Graeme McDowell that gave Woods a cushion and allowed him to play the shots he needed to win the tournament. “When I went into Augusta, I did not feel comfortable hitting the ball up,” Woods said. “And I got back into a lot of my old patterns. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. But that’s what made playing Muirfield so nice. I had those shots, and I was doing it the correct way. And I had compression, hitting the ball high and hitting it long. That was fun.” Olympic is all about hitting it in the fairway, and the right spots on the green. The golf course is longer than when Woods tied for 18th in 1998, though that isn’t the biggest change. The greens have been resurfaced, and they roll so fast that it’s difficult to get the ball close. Plus, the USGA has shaved some areas off the green to form large collection areas. A slight miss could send the ball some 30 yards away. Woods told of the par-3 13th during a practice round in which he hit the green, and the ball rolled down a slope and just inside a hazard. “I think this probably tests the player more than any other championship,” Woods said. “We have to shape the ball. We have to hit the ball high. We have to hit the ball low. Our short game’s got to be dialed in.” The difference for this U.S. Open is the variety that USGA executive director Mike Davis brings to the toughest test in golf. Instead of mangled rough around the greens, he has created areas of tightly mown grass that sends errant shots down the slope and gives players options of putting, chipping, flop shots, anything to get it close. The tees can change. The 16th measures 670 yards, though there is an option to play it 100 yards shorter. “He throws wrinkles at you,” Woods said. “But overall, I think this is just the most demanding test that there is in golf.”

Florida returns to CWS with goal to win it all this time the Gators played all season amid sky-high expectations that came with returning nearly every starter. Nonetheless, the Gators are back in Omaha, Neb., with their sights set on winning it all. “That was the thing that was hard for our team to deal with,” coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “It was one of those things that was the big elephant in the room. Nobody wanted to talk about it. It was kind of just there. It’s hard to get to Omaha, No. 1, but to add it that you’re supposed to get there and there’s so many things that can happen in this game that can keep you from getting to your ultimate destination,
it has not been an easy road.” The Gators (47-18) secured their third consecutive trip to Omaha by sweeping North Carolina State in a super regional. Their reward? Florida opens Saturday against the two-time defending champion Gamecocks, who have won 21 consecutive games in the NCAA tournament. South Carolina’s streak includes 11 in a row in Omaha. “I was excited,” Florida reliever Greg Larson said. “Another chance to play them. They’ve had a great run. Just kind of thinking back to last year, we were going to run into them I felt like sooner or later,
so why not first game in Omaha?” Florida won three of four games against South Carolina this season, including the last three meetings. But recent success will mean little, if anything, when the teams take the field Saturday. “Last time’s last time,” designated hitter/lefthanded pitcher Brian Johnson said. “Doesn’t matter what you did last time. Doesn’t matter if you scored 10 or you didn’t score any.” Florida has a good team, and everyone knows it. Catcher Mike Zunino is a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the nation’s best amateur player, and an-

claimed Game 2 the past two. The Heat will have to be more efficient on the offensive end and keep the Thunder out of transition. Oklahoma City had a 24-4 scoring advantage on the fast break, including 11-0 in the second half. Miami, which can also get out and run, can’t afford to have that sort of discrepancy. The Heat must also figure out a way to limit the damage in the paint, where Oklahoma City outscored them 56-40. Maybe the solution is a zone or better play from Miami’s interior defenders. The only Heat player with a block in Game 1 was Mario Chalmers, the point guard.
BY MARK LONG Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Gators have been waiting a year for this. Players and coaches never said it publicly, rarely even mentioned it privately. But returning to the College World Series was the one common goal everyone in the program shared, and not solely because it’s the pinnacle of college baseball. It had more to do with how close the Gators got to winning it all last season. Florida lost to South Carolina in the championship series and spent months thinking about what could have been. Not making things any easier,
NBA CONTINUED FROM 8
Should Miami panic? Though there will be chatter that the series is over, it’s just one game. So the Heat shouldn’t panic, and won’t panic. While the home team has won Game 1 the last eight years, the road team has
chors a deep and versatile lineup that features five players selected in the first nine rounds of last week’s Major League Baseball draft. Florida also had four pitchers drafted, including
ace Hudson Randall and the team’s top three relievers: Larson, lefty Steven Rodriguez and closer Austin Maddox. All that talent was evident when the Gators started the season 20-1.
SANDUSKY CONTINUED FROM 8
the man testified that he was the roommate of another Sandusky accuser at a camp sponsored by Sandusky’s charity, The Second Mile. He also acknowledged spending nearly two years in prison for a robbery and involvement with drugs and alcohol, but said he is doing better now. “I’m married. I’m expecting” a child, he said. Another boy, dubbed Victim 8, has never been located and his identity is a mystery to prosecutors, but jurors heard about his
alleged sexual abuse by Sandusky anyway. Judge John Cleland ruled that a co-worker of Penn State janitor Jim Calhoun could testify about what Calhoun told him in November 2000. Calhoun is now suffering from dementia. The co-worker, Ron Petrosky, said that when he encountered Calhoun in a football team locker room, the janitor told him he had seen Sandusky making a boy perform oral sex on him. Petrosky said Calhoun’s face was white and his hands were trembling.

Short Hops • Among the many stats that pique the interest of most hitting coaches is pitches per plate appearance. Presumably, coaches appreciate selective approaches at the plate indicated by a higher number of pitches players see per at-bat. But what can we really learn from this? P/PA doesn’t tell us anything, other than simply patience. A.J. Ellis (.307 average) and Adam Dunn (.215) see the most pitches. Alex Rios (.293), Delmon Young (.261) and Ian Desmond (.257) see the fewest. • The San Francisco Giants continue to insist that there is nothing physically wrong with onetime ace Tim Lincecum. However, his velocity and results indicate a different story. The former Cy Young winner blames a “failure to execute pitches” for his troubles. Whatever the case, the Giants and Lincecum need to find a cure if San Francisco hopes to run down the Dodgers in the NL West. Only three National League pitchers with at least 10 starts this season have an ERA north of 5.50. One is Jamie Moyer, released by the Rockies, one is Lincecum at 6.00, and the other is Atlanta’s Mike Minor at 6.75. • For what it’s worth, Toronto’s Yunel Escobar has grounded into 11 double plays and has just 12 extra-base hits. Alexei Ramirez of the White Sox has nine GDPs and 10 XBHs.
Mike Trout, Los Angeles Following teammate Mark Trumbo, who received this honor last week, Trout posted a .520 batting average for the week, leading the American League with 13 hits and 10 runs, which tied teammate Torii Hunter. The 20year-old outfielder began the week with a 4for-4 performance against Seattle and ended with eight hits and eight runs in the Angels’ three-game sweep at Colorado.
Mike Trout
Dodgers Won last six games in which they have at least one hit. Rangers Won only three of last 10 vs. AL West. Rays Convincing sweep over the Marlins. Nationals Waltzed out of Fenway with a sweep. Yankees May be old, but still team to beat in AL East. Orioles Lost 12 of last 19 with three wins in extra innings. Braves Followed eight-game losing streak by winning eight of nine. Reds Chapman finally appears human in loss to Tigers. Marlins Streaky Fish back on the skids. Angels Only one loss since May 18 by more than two runs. Giants What’s wrong with Tim Lincecum? White Sox Paul Konerko making case for MVP. Mets Lost six of seven since Cardinals left town. Blue Jays Jose Bautista beginning to heat up a bit. Pirates Ended the week tied for first place. Diamondbacks Making a charge to defend their NL West title. Indians Brash Chris Perez keeps saving games. Cardinals Redbirds need starting pitching and bullpen help. Red Sox Lost six of seven. Phillies Dropped two nail-biters at Baltimore over the weekend. Tigers Ended the weekend at Cincinnati on high note. Brewers Road trip to Kansas City and Minnesota this week. Mariners No-hit the best team in the National League. Royals Still bullish on future, but present not too bright. Twins Won nine of last 12, had a 15-of-17 streak in June 2011. Astros Won four of Lucas Harrell’s last five starts. Rockies Outscored by 27 over last five games — all losses. A’s Lost 14 of 18, now facing NL West. Padres One positive: Closer Huston Street is back and healthy. Cubs On pace to lose 108.
Jason Kubel, Arizona Kubel was signed over the winter to bring offense to a suspect lineup, and the leftfielder hasn’t disappointed. Last week Kubel batted .409 and slugged .818 with two home runs. He had 12 RBIs, all coming over a four-game stretch, which included a weekend sweep of the Oakland A’s. Kubel had three RBIs in the Diamondbacks’ one-run win on Friday and added two more in the one-run win on Sunday.
Ryan Dempster, Chicago After a string of 18 consecutive starts without a win (dating to last August), Dempster finally broke through with two wins last week. The Cubs’ righthander tossed 15 shutout innings in his two starts, beating the Brewers on three hits over seven innings and the Twins on four hits and a walk over eight innings. He struck out nine and allowed just eight baserunners en route to posting a 0.53 WHIP and 0.00 ERA.
MLB Mt. Rushmores
For a complete, in-depth breakdown of all 30 MLB teams’ Mt. Rushmores, go to AthlonSports.com/MtRushmore
Last week, we named Mt. Rushmores for each of the 14 expansion teams. This week, we present the 16 original franchises from the modern era, beginning in 1901.
OAKLAND A’S The Athletics have won nine World Series titles, five in Philadelphia, four in Oakland. In between Philadelphia and Oakland, the organization spent 13 losing years in Kansas City. Al Simmons Rickey Henderson Jimmie Foxx Lefty Grove
From Boston to Milwaukee to Atlanta, this nomadic franchise has enjoyed much success, most notably the 14-straight division titles in the 1990s and 2000s comes to mind. The real stars played in Milwaukee and Atlanta. Hank Aaron Chipper Jones Warren Spahn John Smoltz
Nash, a third-round draft pick in 2009, has 18 home runs for High-A Lancaster in just 57 games. The burly slugger out of Griffin, Ga., is hitting just .219, but the Astros believe that will improve. At 6'1", 250, Nash has the look of a DH, which could serve Houston well in a few years.
June 15, 1977 Fearing losing their superstar via free agency at the conclusion of the season, the Mets traded future Hall of Famer Tom Seaver, who was 7-3 with a 3.00 ERA at the time, to the Cincinnati Reds for pitcher Pat Zachry, infielder Doug Flynn and minor league outfielders Steve Henderson and Dan Norman.
June 15, 1983 The St. Louis Cardinals traded former NL MVP Keith Hernandez to the New York Mets for right-handed pitchers Rick Ownbey and Neil Allen.
June 12, 1997 Texas Rangers pitcher Darren Oliver threw a ball to San Francisco centerfielder Darryl Hamilton, and the first Interleague game in history was underway. With three runs in the top of the seventh, the Giants held on for a 4-3 win as Rod Beck earned a save for starter Mark Gardner.
PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
BALTIMORE ORIOLES Born as the Milwaukee Brewers in 1901, the franchise moved to St. Louis as the Browns in 1902 and has been in Baltimore since 1954. There is as little debate over the O’s as any team. Cal Ripken Jim Palmer Brooks Robinson Eddie Murray
BOSTON RED SOX The overplayed drought of championships from 1918 to 2004 and the Curse of the Bambino have overshadowed what has been a very successful franchise. The list of candidates for the last two spots is long, and filled with strong arguments. Ted Williams David Ortiz Carl Yastrzemski Jim Rice
CHICAGO CUBS The Chicago Cubs haven’t had much to crow about since, well, for a long time. More than 100 years, and we’ll leave it at that. Cap Anson Billy Williams Ernie Banks Ron Santo
CHICAGO WHITE SOX
Telvin Nash, 1B-OF, Houston

The salad days for the Cincinnati franchise were clearly the 1970s. Of the Reds’ 13 postseason appearances in their history, six of them came during that decade.

In their 111 seasons, the Tigers have finished at or above .500 in 67 of those seasons, but only 13 postseason appearances to show for their winning ways.

For a franchise that’s been playing baseball in Philadelphia since 1883, it’s astounding that the organization can boast of only two World Series titles (1980, 2008). Steve Carlton and Mike Schmidt may be the two easiest choices on this page. Mike Schmidt Pete Alexander Steve Carlton Chuck Klein

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS There are six strong candidates — five Hall of Famers and one who will be — and a handful of others who would make most teams’ mountains.

Doubles by Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto. The former NL MVP is on pace for 71 doubles, which would break the major league record of 67 set by Earl Webb in 1931. No player has recorded 60 doubles in a season since 1936. Batting average for Votto over a recent 15-game stretch that included three home runs, 10 RBIs and 14 runs from May 24 - June 9. However, the Reds were just 8-7 in those games.
With Joey Votto on a record pace for doubles this season, do you know who has the most doubles in a season in the 2000s?

Time this season that the Milwaukee Brewers have used the same position-player lineup in back-to-back games. It came on April 15 and 17. Wins for former Cy Young winner Cliff Lee of the Phillies. After 10 starts, Lee is 0-3 with a 3.18 ERA. Pitching through tough luck all season, Lee has allowed just 74 hits plus walks and has 74 strikeouts. He tossed 10 shutout frames in an 11-inning, 1-0 loss to the Giants back in April. TRIVIA ANSWER: Todd Helton socked 59 doubles for the Colorado Rockies in 2000.
The Yankees thought Pettitte could help the team by logging quality innings and mentoring young pitchers along the way. However, the veteran, who will turn 40 on June 15, has been one of the team’s best starting pitchers since signing earlier this season. Last week the lefthander threw 7.1 shutout innings in a win over the first-place Rays, and he turned in six innings in a win over the crosstown Mets.
Pittsburgh at Cleveland Few fans thought this series would feature two first-place teams, but it just may. Cleveland ended the weekend just a half game behind Chicago, and the Pirates were tied for first with the Reds. In what could be a Redemption Game on Saturday, A.J. Burnett of Pittsburgh will oppose Ubaldo Jimenez of Cleveland. Both hurlers have pitched well of late, but still have something to prove given their struggles in recent seasons.

Dodgers sign Ethier to $85 million, 5-year contract The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers signed outfielder Andre Ethier to an $85 million, five-year deal through 2017 on Tuesday, keeping him and Matt Kemp together in the middle of the lineup. It’s the team’s first major move under a new ownership group that includes former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson. The new deal includes salaries of $13.5 million for next year, $15.5 mil-
lion for 2014, $18 million each for 2015 and 2016 and $17.5 million for 2017. The Dodgers have a $17.5 million option for 2018 with a $2.5 million buyout, and Ethier’s 2018 salary could become guaranteed based on plate appearances in 2017 or 201617 combined. The option vests with 1,100 plate appearances in 2016-17 combined or 550 plate appearances in 2017. If the option does not vest and is declined, a buyout is payable on Jan. 15,
2018. Ethier avoided arbitration last winter, agreeing to a $10.95 million contract for this season. He could have tested free agency at season’s end. “I knew there were options at the end of the day, but why look at them when the best option is here?” he said. “A friend of mine said a couple weeks ago, ‘You were meant to play here and you wouldn’t play good anywhere else,’” he said. “That kind of rang
true and let me think what’s the purpose of holding out a few more months?” General manager Ned Colletti and new President and CEO Stan Kasten joined Ethier at a news conference overlooking the field at Dodger Stadium. Manager Don Mattingly, along with All-Star slugger Matt Kemp and pitcher Javy Guerra were there. Ethier’s wife, Maggie, the couple’s two young sons, who wore their dad’s No. 16 jersey, and his par-
ents also attended. “We signed Matt last winter and now we’ve signed Andre long-term, which to me says basically that you want to get better as an organization looking forward,” Mattingly said. “These two guys are our cornerstones, so it makes a commitment to the fans. Right now, ‘Dre’s in a good spot and his teammates care about him.” Ethier leads the National League with 53 RBIs. The 30-year-old right fielder is a two-time All-
Star who is batting .287 with 10 home runs going into Tuesday night’s game against the Angels. He’s been with the team for six seasons, winning a Silver Slugger award in 2009 and a Gold Glove award last year. “He’s part of the core, part of what we’re trying to build on,” Colletti said. “You got to keep guys like that around. “If you believe in your core guys and you develop them, it’s tough to replace guys like that.”

Volunteering would fill calendar DEAR ABBY: “Torn in Texas” (April 13) wrote that her widowed fatherin-law visits them every weekend, leaving no time for her family to have a weekend just for themselves. May I suggest that “Torn” contact the Office on Aging nearest to “Pop” and find out what programs are available for seniors. If he has the capacity to drive an hour each way to their house, perhaps he could volunteer. It appears that Pop has a lot of life left in him, and it’s a shame that he spends so much of it alone. If he could become involved in some activities during the week, they might overflow into his weekends, keep him busy and productive, and alleviate his family’s guilt. If you only reduce the number of times he visits each month, he will be alone that much more and probably won’t admit that he is lonely. As is often the case, I’ll bet Pop’s late wife made all their social plans. I recommend that Torn or her husband go with Pop to a program the first time. It would also be helpful
to talk to the director and explain the circumstances. The Abigail f a t h e r Van Buren i n - l a w may be Dear Abby resistant at first because it’s difficult to walk into a new place cold turkey. But he will be warmly welcomed and may look forward to the next time. -- EXPERIENCED WITH SENIORS DEAR EXPERIENCED WITH SENIORS: Your letter reflects the opinion of many other readers. Most agreed that Pop needs to get out and become more involved, and Torn should appreciate the time she and her family spends with Pop, because at 87 he won’t be around forever. Read on: DEAR ABBY: While I sympathize with Torn, she needs to consider that her father-in-law is 87 and has many more years behind him than ahead of him. Any time spent with him should be considered
a blessing. At his age, he may not be able to prepare food for himself, so time at his son’s home may be his only opportunity for a decent meal. My advice to Torn is to stop seeing Pop as a visitor and regard him as family. Include him in your family’s life and plans and build memories while you can. Remember, you will be setting an example for your own children. How you treat your father-in-law is how they will believe the elderly should be treated, and one day that will be you. -IRENE IN ELIDA, OHIO DEAR ABBY: Torn should be thankful her father-in-law is in good enough health to visit and be part of the family. If she needs a weekend alone, think about having him up during the week. Perhaps her teenagers have activities during the week that he would enjoy. Your family is the most important thing to Pop, and by including him you are contributing to his quality of life and wellbeing. That way you will live with fewer regrets. -ACHING IN ARIZONA
DEAR ABBY: It seems like a lot of families throw away their parents -- the people who gave them life, changed their diapers, fed, sheltered and clothed them. Daughterin-law is using the excuse of needing a weekend to themselves to dump Grandpa into a nursing home. If she needs time away from him, involve him in senior activities, church, a health club, and help him find some friends. Pretty soon she’ll find she won’t see much of Grandpa. She’ll have her weekend time and also have helped him have a happy end to his life. Remember, without Grandpa, she wouldn’t have the husband she has now. She should pay him back a little of what he gave her husband -- the gift of life. -- APPRECIATING MY MOM (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Today in history Today is Thursday, June 14, the 166th day of 2012. There are 200 days left in the year. This is Flag Day.
Today’s Highlight in History On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopted the Stars and Stripes as the national flag.
On this date In 1775, the Continental Army, forerunner of the United States Army, was created. In 1801, former American Revolutionary War General and notorious turncoat Benedict Arnold died in London. In 1922, Warren G. Harding became the first president heard on radio, as Baltimore station WEAR broadcast his speech dedicating the Francis Scott Key memorial at Fort McHenry. In 1940, German troops entered Paris during World War II; the same day, the Nazis began transporting prisoners to the Auschwitz (OWSH’-vitz) concentration camp in Germanoccupied Poland. In 1943, the Supreme Court, in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, ruled that children in public schools could not be forced to salute the flag of the
United States. In 1952, President Harry S. Truman officiated at the keel-laying of the nuclear-powered submarine USS Nautilus at the Electric Boat Shipyard in Groton (GRAH’tuhn), Conn. In 1954, the words “under God” were added to the Pledge of Allegiance. In 1967, the space probe Mariner 5 was launched from Cape Kennedy on a flight that took it past Venus. In 1972, the Environmental Protection Agency ordered a ban on continued domestic use of the pesticide DDT, to take effect at year’s end. In 1982, Argentine forces surrendered to British troops on the disputed Falkland Islands. In 1985, the 17-day hijack ordeal of TWA Flight 847 began as a pair of Lebanese Shiite (SHEE’eyet) Muslim extremists seized the jetliner shortly after takeoff from Athens, Greece. In 1992, Mona Van Duyn became the first woman to be named the nation’s poet laureate by the Library of Congress.
Ten years ago American Roman Catholic bishops meeting in Dallas adopted a policy to bar sexually abusive clergy from face-to-face contact with parishioners

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS When was the last time you gave anonymously? By definition, an anonymous act of kindness will not bring reward, partly because no one will know who did the deed and partly because the anonymous act of kindness (SET ITAL) is (END ITAL) the reward. A lucky trine of the sun and Saturn occurs until June 16, highlighting matters of personal and social responsibility. ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a gleam in your eye as you set your heart on a fresh adventure. People connect with you. In fact, before this day is through, you will have brought more than one person out of a funk. TAURUS (April 20May 20). How fast things can change! By afternoon, you’ll know why the morning’s plan wasn’t comprehensive enough. A new attack on the problems of the day will yield results by bedtime. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Make yourself comfortable in your own lifestyle. This won’t require money so much as organizational skills and the ability to set some limits, especially with your nearest and dearest. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like companionship, but you also realize that life can be prosperous and great without it, too. Being versatile and not the least bit needy makes you the ideal partner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your talent for self-reflection will be highlighted, as will your ability to assess your relationships clearly. When it’s not working, it’s nobody’s fault. You’ll take on the responsibility to fix it yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is one big wonderful journey, and you don’t feel wed to the road map. You don’t even feel wed to the road itself. Figuratively, your vehicle is capable of an off-road adventure. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One of your more discerning moods takes hold, and you wonder why you should accept what’s given when you clearly can negotiate or charm your way into better options. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). In addition to the family you were born into, you have created and maintained a family of friends. You’ll enjoy the fact that you can choose the cast of characters that accompanies you in your personal story. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s no end to what fascinates you. You’re enthralled with human history, nature, children, love, sunshine, dew, gravity... The hard part is quieting your brilliant mind at the end of the day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Your relationship with extended family will influence your day. If you’re married, this may have to do with your in-laws. You’ll pave the way for peaceful future interactions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Sameness leads to staleness. It takes more effort to mix things up, but keep striving for variety. It allows you to better enjoy the things that give you pleasure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are creative at your core, though it doesn’t always present itself in the way some people think creativity would. Artistic talent is only one small sector of the broad spectrum of your gifts. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). You don’t need symbols of success in order to feel good about yourself, but you’ll still enjoy the signs that you are growing rich and powerful. The next six weeks bring many such signs. An educational pursuit will connect you with new friends in August. October is best for travel. Wedding bells ring in December. Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 2, 4, 31 and 29. 12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the energy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy social awkwardness. Virgo’s lesson in social graces can be found in books. Manners and social behaviors are usually learned at home. There are very few people in the world who seek literary instruction on etiquette, which automatically puts those readers ahead of the game -- and that’s just where Virgos like to be. The sign of selfimprovement, Virgo knows the secret: Limiting yourself to the manners you grew up with ensures that you only will feel completely comfortable when you’re with people like you. Learning customs and formalities beyond the familiar opens the world to you. A person should never feel ashamed or embarrassed by what they don’t know. Ruled by Mercury, Virgos love knowledge and are quite often avid readers on many topics. Finding out the way to formally dine, make small talk or take a meeting can be as exciting a read as any adventure novel because it paves the way for the reader to create their own adventure: the epic journey to social ease.

More than 70% US teens lacking summer jobs BY HOPE YEN Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Once a rite of passage to adulthood, summer jobs for teens are disappearing. Fewer than three in 10 American teenagers now hold jobs such as running cash registers, mowing lawns or busing restaurant tables from June to August. The decline has been particularly sharp since 2000, with employment for 16-to-19-year olds falling to the lowest level since World War II. And teen employment may never return to prerecession levels, suggests a projection by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The drop in teen employment, steeper than for other age groups, is partly a cultural shift. More youths are spending summer months in school, at music or learning camps or in other activities geared for college. But the decline is especially troubling for teens
for whom college may be out of reach, leaving them increasingly idle and with few options to earn wages and job experience. Older workers, immigrants and debt-laden college graduates are taking away lower-skill work as they struggle to find their own jobs in the weak economy. Upperincome white teens are three times as likely to have summer jobs as poor black teens, sometimes capitalizing on their parents' social networks for help. Overall, more than 44 percent of teens who want summer jobs don't get them or work fewer hours than they prefer. “It's really frustrating,� said Colleen Knaggs, describing her fruitless efforts to find work for the past two years. The 18-year-old graduated from high school last week in Flagstaff, Ariz., the state that ranks highest in the share of U.S. teens who are unable to
get the summer work they desire, at 58 percent. Wanting to be better prepared to live on her own and to save for college, Knaggs says she submitted a dozen applications for summer cashier positions. She was turned down for what she believes was her lack of connections and work experience. Instead of working this summer, she'll now be babysitting her 10-year-old brother, which has been the extent of her work so far, aside from volunteering at concession stands. “I feel like sometimes they don't want to go through the training,� said Knaggs, who is now bracing for a heavier debt load when she attends college in the fall. Economists say teens who aren't getting jobs are often those who could use them the most. Many are not moving on to more education. “I have big concerns about this generation of
young people,� said Harry Holzer, labor economist and public policy professor at Georgetown University. He said the income gap between rich and poor is exacerbated when lower-income youths who are less likely to enroll in college are unable to get skills and training. “For young high school graduates or dropouts, their early work experience is more closely tied to their success in the labor market,� he said. Andrew Sum, director of the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University, said better job pathways are needed for teens who don't attend four-year colleges, including paid internships for high school seniors and increased post-secondary training in technical institutes. “We are truly in a labor market depression for teens,� he said. “More than others, teens are frequently off the radar screens of the
nation's and states' economic policymakers.� Washington, D.C., was the jurisdiction most likely to have teens wanting summer work but unable to get it or working fewer hours than desired, with more than three in five in that situation. It was followed by Arizona, California, Washington state, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina and Nevada. On the other end of the scale, Wyoming, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota and Kansas had teens who were more often able to find work. All those states have fewer immigrant workers. The figures are based on an analysis of Census Bureau Current Population Survey data from June to August 2011 by Northeastern's Center for Labor Market Studies. They are supplemented with research from Christopher L. Smith and Daniel Aaronson, two Federal Reserve economists, as well as interviews with Labor
Department economists and Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a national job placement firm. About 5.1 million, or just 29.6 percent, of 16-to-19 year olds were employed last summer. Adjusted for seasonal factors, the rate dips to 25.7 percent. In 1978, the share reached a peak of nearly 60 percent before waves of immigration brought in new low-skill workers. Teen employment remained generally above 50 percent until 2001, dropping sharply to fresh lows after each of the past two recessions. Out of more than 3.5 million underutilized teens who languished in the job market last summer, 1.7 million were unemployed, nearly 700,000 worked fewer hours than desired and 1.1 million wanted jobs but had given up looking. That 3.5 million represented a teen underutilization rate of 44 percent, up from roughly 25 percent in 2000.
Midwestern and Southern farmers divide over farm bill BY JIM ABRAMS Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For once, it's not Democrats battling Republicans. The five-year farm and food stamps bill now being debated in the Senate is a regional fight, pitting rice and peanut growers in the South against corn producers and soybean farmers in the Midwest. The half-trillion-dollar bill setting farm policy into the future outlines dramatic changes in how farmers are protected from financial and natural disasters. It would end $5 billion a year in direct payments to farmers whether or not they actually plant a crop and programs that reward farm-
ers when prices fall below a targeted level. Instead, the government would offer a new “shallow loss� program to aid farmers when revenues fall between 11 percent and 21 percent below five-year moving averages and would put greater emphasis on heavily subsidized crop insurance. Farmers' regular crop insurance would pay for losses above 21 percent. The Congressional Budget Office estimates this new shallow loss program could save taxpayers some $8.5 billion over the next five years compared with the current subsidy system. As with all big changes, there are winners and
losers. Southern rice and peanut growers see themselves as the losers. This regional divide is one of the two major obstacles to getting a farm bill through Congress before the current law expires at the end of September. Nutrition programs, primarily food stamps, are the other hurdle. They make up about 80 percent of the cost in the $100 billion-a-year bill. The Senate proposal would cut the food stamp program now serving about 46 million people by $4 billion over the next decade — largely by targeting abuses. Some senators and the Republican-controlled House would like to see a far bigger cut, mainly by
tightening eligibility for food stamps. The entire bill, which also covers conservation and research programs, would reduce spending by $23.6 billion over the coming decade. Republican Sen. John Boozman, whose state of Arkansas is the nation's largest rice grower, said the Senate bill “will have a devastating impact on Southern agriculture.� Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, the national leader in peanut production, complained it “shoehorns all producers into a one-size-fits-all policy� that would force farmers to switch to crops that enjoy better coverage for losses.
The bill's two main sponsors, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow, DMich., and top Republican Pat Roberts of Kansas, defended their approach. “People can always disagree with economists,� Stabenow said on C-SPAN's “Newsmakers.� ''But I guess what I would say is what we have put in place ... it's fair for every commodity.� “This is a different year, this is a year we have to change,� Roberts said in the same interview, adding that was made clear to all the commodity groups. But rice and peanut farmers argue that the crop insurance and the new shallow loss or Agriculture Risk Cover-
age programs are better fitted to crops such as corn, where natural disasters such as floods and droughts can cause far greater fluctuations in yields. Many rice farmers, who irrigate their crops and have more consistent yields, don't have crop insurance to protect them from yield loss, but they do have to cope with large swings in prices and high production costs. Linda Raun, who runs a 1,000-acre rice farm southwest of Houston and chairs the USA Rice Producers Group, said direct payments have been their only safety net in the past. Without price protection, banks won't lend them money, she said.
