Ongoing property cleanup efforts topped a light agenda for the Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday. The board held public hearings on nine properties and scheduled hearings for another seven. Public hearings coinciding with the regular board meeting at 5 p.m. on Aug. 7 will give property owners and concerned residents an opportunity to address the board about the situation at those locations. Coming before the board on that date will be 1301 East Waldron Street, 1308 Waldron Street, 1409 East Fifth Street, 1521 Jackson Street, 1613 Jackson Street, a property at the corner of Lauren Drive and Forrest School Road, and a property at the corner of Ross Street and Hawkins Street. In this week’s public hearings: ■ W.R. Rhoades II property on U.S. Highway 72 — The board gave a three-month continuance on the ongoing cleanup. “He’s made good progress but has a lot of work ahead of him,” said Building Inspector
Philip Verdung. ■ 1103 Tate Street — Continued to July 17. A tree that fell on the house has been removed, but the city is requesting additional cleanup. ■ 926 South Fulton Drive — Continued to July 17. The owner has made arrangements for demolition. ■ 1712 Foote Street — Continued to July 17.

Festival provides tradition of speeches, sales BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
JACINTO — Locals and visitors honored the traditions of Jacinto on Independence Day — shaking hands with elected leaders and hopefuls, buying trinkets, visiting the old courthouse and seeking shade. The “off” election year still proved to be a big draw for both casual visitors and those anxious to make a stump speech. Among those who made the longest trek to Jacinto was retired Methodist minister Albert N. Gore Jr. of Starkville, a candidate for U.S. Senate. It was his first visit to Jacinto, although he notes that he lived in Ripley for five years and discovered a family connection to one of the gift shop workers. He admits he’s heard more than a few comments about being named Al Gore. “But it’s in the family, so what difference does it make?”
he said. He was among the first to take the platform and speak following a performance by the Chucalissa Indians. While politics is a signature element of the annual festival, John Ross, who has attended all 33 installments of the Jacinto Festival, recalls the year they tried to skip the political speaking. “One year we decided not to have the public speaking because it was an off year, and it was the worst disaster we ever made,” he said. William Winter, who was mounting a run for Senate, showed up expecting to speak. Ross received word of the situation and made a frantic phone call. “John D. Mercier came down and saved us,” he recalled. Robert Stacy of Jacinto is among the volunteers who helps organize the festival activities each year. He enjoys the
atmosphere that the big event brings to the normally quiet grounds of the courthouse of old Tishomingo County. “Tomorrow, you won’t see hardly anybody here,” he said. “It’s a good day to see this many people in Jacinto. You meet people that you might not see once or twice a year. It’s kind of like a family reunion.” Visitors could see a few new items in the courthouse and check out the revamped gift shop and museum, where the artifacts have been given more emphasis. Friday is also a big day for Jacinto with the reopening of the park for the first time since the 2011 tornado. “We had some major damage,” said Beth Whitehurst, Jacinto Foundation executive director. “It will be the first time in over a year that it’s been opened. I’m excited. It looks better than it has looked in a long time.”

SELMER, Tenn. — A 33-yearold man is facing various charges after an assault of his grandmother and aunt on Monday, according to the Selmer Police Department. Christopher R. Scott, of Milledgeville, Tenn., was arrested in Collierville on Monday night. He had allegedly driven his grandmother’s car to Collierville. He was charged with especially aggravated burglary, aggravated assault and theft of property. Scott had stopped at a hospital in Collierville for medical attention when hospital officials alerted the Collierville Police
Department. He was detained there by the CPD until he was arrested by the Selmer Police Department at 9:30 p.m. The women were beaten inside the grandmother's house on State St. in Selmer. The victims in the incident were Earline Kirby, Scott’s grandmother, and Pamela Pitts. They were both carried to Regional Medical Center (The Med) in Memphis. Pitts was reported to be in serious condition and Kirby was listed in stable condition on Wednesday afternoon. Scott is set to return for a court hearing on July 19. He is now in the McNairy County Justice Center.

The wounded getting off of the battlefield, some hobbling alone, some with broken arms dangling by their sides, some with bloody heads, one [with] his whiskers and hair burnt in a crisp by the explosion of powder.”

Baggy pants banned in Guntown Associated Press
GUNTOWN — The city of Guntown in north Mississippi has banned saggy pants as part of an overall ordinance on indecency. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that the ordinance approved this week by the board of aldermen takes effect Aug. 1. It prohibits anyone from wearing pants or skirts that ride more than three inches below the top of the hips and expose skin or underwear.
Violators can be fined $50 the first time and up to $200 each additional time and be subject to complete up to 40 hours of community service. Many other Mississippi towns have passed nearidentical ordinances. “The board and I decided that we needed to pass one because we seem to have the same problem here that all the other towns have,” said Guntown Mayor Robert Herring. “It doesn’t look good for people walking
around with their underwear showing the ones that have on underwear.” Herring said the city’s police officers won’t roam the streets in search of violators of the law but will respond to complaints by residents and businesses. “We’ve already had complaints from store owners about them coming in, and it was lewd and indecent and they don’t like it,” Herring said. “We’ll more or less depend on the store owners for their complaints.”

Vicksburg port should remain open as river falls Associated Press
VICKSBURG — Dredging near the Port of Vicksburg over the past five years should keep the inland port open even as Mississippi River levels fall. Warren County Port Commission executive director Wayne Mansfield tells the Vicksburg Post that about $4 million in work completed in 2008 to widen the Yazoo Diversion Canal has put the local port ahead of the curve for the river’s fall. The dredging deepened the channel by 50 to 100 feet from its junction with the river and the port entrance. “It has helped out tremendously from a navigation standpoint,” Mansfield said. “I don’t anticipate the port closing.” The river was 4.89 feet on the Vicksburg gauge Tuesday, up four onehundredths of a foot. A year ago, it was 36.92 feet. Stages are to rise slightly, to 5.5 feet, by next week, then sink to 3.9 feet by July 25, according to the National Weather Service River
Forecast Center. Last year’s flood reached a crest of 57.1 feet in Vicksburg, 14.1 feet above flood stage and nine-tenths of a foot higher than the 1927 flood. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Vicksburg District has announced it will spend $6.84 million to deepen six shallow draft ports at Lake Providence and Madison Parish in Louisiana; Yellow Bend in Arkansas; and Rosedale, Greenville and Vicksburg in Mississippi by Sept. 30. The funds were approved by Congress to repair and restore the Mississippi River and tributaries following last spring’s river flood. Larger-scale dredging by the Dredge Butcher, operated by Pine Bluff Sand and Gravel Company, continued this week on the two Louisiana ports. Vicksburg is last on the list, expected to be complete by the project’s September end date. Inland Dredging Company will park vessels in the harbor over the next six months as part of the overall effort. A contract
worth $400 a month over the period was ratified Monday by the Warren County Board of Supervisors. Low-water conditions and the flow of the emergency money will increase the chance ports could close due to low water levels, the Corps said in a news release. “The (Vicksburg) District continually works with our partners and stakeholders to monitor water levels and provide a navigable port channel for normal barge traffic,” it said. “Due to these lowwater levels, the Corps has changed the current dredging schedule in order to maintain navigation as long as possible.” Federal funding for dredging shallow draft ports is $157,000 for fiscal 2013, which will fund limited surveying, the Corps’ release said. “Although the district cannot guarantee the ports will remain navigable with a 9-foot channel, we will attempt to meet the needs of the region within the constraints of our budget this year and in the future,” the release said.
Today in history employment rate for May 2012 was 8.2 percent, 0.1 percentage point higher than the April rate. The state unemployment rate is seasonally adjusted while the county unemployment rates are
not. Seasonal adjustment is a statistical technique that eliminates the influences of weather, holidays, the opening and closing of schools, and other recurring seasonal events from economic time series.

Want to know how a particular meal affects your blood sugar? Check it just before the first bite of that meal and again one and a half to two hours after that. Its OK to go up about 50-60 points. If it goes up more then you may need to make an adjustement in food or medicine. Remember your after meal blood sugar goal should be under 180 according Jimmy Bennett Ji B to the American Diabetes Association. Some doctors even recommend that you be under 140. Controlling your diabetes can help you to reduce the risk of damage to your eyes, kidneys, nerves and most of all your heart.

Using bait and switch tactic on Obamacare
Cal Thomas Columnist
When is a tax not a tax? When President Obama says it isn’t, or when the Supreme Court says it is? Obamacare was sold on several fraudulent lines. The president knows the country doesn’t want to pay higher taxes, given the deplorable way their government spends the money. And so the administration packaged it as some-
thing different. That’s called bait and switch, which is defined as “an illegal tactic in which a seller advertises a product with the intention of persuading customers to purchase a more expensive product.” And Obamacare, if it is not repealed, is guaranteed to be more expensive, not to mention more bureaucratic, delivering lower-quality care and eventually rationing to save money. Does it matter what this president promises since so many have turned up empty? This ruling will impose a massive tax increase during a lingering recession. Twentyone new taxes are associated with Obamacare, according to the House Ways and Means Committee. That doesn’t include the scheduled year-end expiration of the Bush tax cuts. President Obama has said taxes shouldn’t be raised during a recession. Simply put, if government is going to take more money from the people who earn it — mostly small businesses — it will result in those businesses hiring fewer people, or laying off more employees, or both, thus increasing already high unemployment. People who have never run a business, or made a payroll, like most in this administration, have no sense of that. The list of lies and deceptions by this administration is long and growing. When campaigning for president in 2008, candidate Obama made “a firm pledge” not to raise taxes: “Not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” In 2009, he vigorously denied to George Stephanopoulos of ABC that the individual mandate is a tax. Now Chief Justice John Roberts says it is. If money leaves your pocket and goes to government, it’s a tax, no matter the label. Some congressional Democrats, especially those running for re-election in traditionally Republican districts, might not have voted for this law had it been presented as a tax increase. They will now have to either defend the tax hike or vow to repeal the law. One way, they appear not to have known what they were doing. The other way, they will be portrayed as having lied. In the short term, the president may have won the argument, but the Supreme Court has given Mitt Romney and the Republicans three issues: higher taxes, a loss of individual freedom and the wrong solution to reforming health insurance. The Founders sought to “secure the blessings of liberty.” This president wants to secure the power of government. And so government, which has done a poor job of running Medicare and Medicaid, will now be responsible for an even bigger program. This is like renewing the license of a serial drunk driver. Roberts joins a long line of justices nominated by Republican presidents, beginning with Earl Warren, who agreed with the liberal wing of the court on cases favored by the Left. Rarely, if ever, does a liberal justice vote with the conservatives. Roberts suggested he wouldn’t do the work of the people. If they don’t like Obamacare, they can change the leadership. The Republican Governors Association is planning to do nothing on Obamacare until after the election, an indication they believe a Romney presidency and a Republican Congress will repeal the law. In a statement following the court’s decision, President Obama promised to implement the law with all deliberate speed. He apparently hopes that with more of it in place (except the taxes that come in 2014), people will become dependent on it and won’t want to do away with it. In just four months, voters will have the opportunity to live up to the responsibility that Roberts says is theirs. Otherwise, voters will become co-conspirators in the weakening of health care and the further destruction of our liberties. (Readers may e-mail Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.)

Our Supreme Court has lost its honor BY ROGER SIMON Once upon a time, in a place called America, there was a government with three equal branches. That America no longer exists. One branch now rules American life. It is the Supreme Court, and it consists of nine people elected by nobody. They rule for life. Their power is absolute. To overrule them requires an amendment to the Constitution, a process so politically difficult it is nigh on impossible. (The most recent amendment, the 27th, which deals with congressional salaries, took 203 years to ratify.) There is no aspect of American life — from civil rights, to sports, to guns, to religion, to sex — over which the justices have not exerted control. There are no qualifications to serve on the Supreme Court. Though the Constitution lists qualifications to become a president, a senator or a representative, none are listed for the high court. The justices need not be of a certain age or have been born in the United States or even be a citizen. They do not have to be
lawyers, though all have been. (Some, however, never went to law school.) The greatest power the justices have is carved into the marble of the Supreme Court Building and gilded in gold: “It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is.” These are the words of John Marshall, the fourth U.S. chief justice, writing in 1803. His decision established forever that the Supreme Court had the right to uphold or strike down laws passed by Congress. Nowhere in the Constitution is the Supreme Court given this power. The Supreme Court took it in a 4-0 decision. (There were only six members on the court at the time, and two were sick.) The Supreme Court would, over its history, come up with some terrible decisions countenancing slavery, locking up Japanese-American citizens in camps, supporting “separate but equal” segregation and approving forced sterilization of the mentally ill. But these were anomalies. Overall, the court would help create a vibrant and free society where citizens could live under the rule of
law and where equal rights were promised to all. For much of modern times, the court has been seen as being above politics. This was very important as a balance to its vast power. Even though justices were appointed by political presidents and approved by political senators, their own politics was to be suppressed. And then came 2000 and the court’s 5-4 decision that made George W. Bush the president of the United States. The decision was nakedly political. “The case didn’t just scar the Court’s record,” Jeffrey Toobin wrote in The New Yorker, “it damaged the Court’s honor.” Its honor has never fully recovered. Our current court is led by Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed by Bush in 2005, after having worked on Bush’s behalf in 2000. The signature of the Roberts Court, Toobin wrote, has been its eagerness to overturn the work of legislatures. This is hardly conservative doctrine, but today politics trumps even ideology. In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the court “gutted
the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance law,” which amounted to “a boon for Republicans.” Last Thursday, a 5-4 majority of the justices upheld the major provisions of Obama’s health care plan, which was passed into law by Congress. Two branches of government had spoken, but their speech was but a whisper compared to the shout of our high court. The immediate political analysis offered by many was that this is a huge political boost for President Obama. But he was a spectator, huddle around his TV set watching the decision like the rest of America. Justice John Paul Stevens, now retired, wrote in his dissent in Bush v. Gore in 2000: “Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year’s Presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the Nation’s confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.” That is a lot to lose. (Roger Simon is chief political columnist of politico. com, an award-winning journalist and a New York Times best selling author.)
Political glossary for election year: Part III If there were a Hall of Fame for political rhetoric, the phrase “social justice” would deserve a prominent place there. It has the prime virtue of political catchwords: It means many different things to many different people. In other words, if you are a politician, you can get lots of people, with different concrete ideas, to agree with you when you come out boldly for the vague generality of “social justice.” Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a good catchword can stop thought for 50 years. The phrase “social justice” has stopped many people from thinking, for at least a century — and counting. If someone told you that Country A had more “social justice” than Country B, and you had all the statistics in the world available to you, how would you go about determining whether Country A or Country B had more “social justice?” In short, what does the phrase mean in practice? In political and ideological discussions, the issue is usually whether there is some social injustice. Even if we can agree that there is some injustice, what makes it social? Surely most of us are re-

pelled by the thought that some people are born into dire poverty, while others are born Thomas into extravaSowell gant luxury — each Columnist through no fault of their own and no virtue of their own. If this is an injustice, does that make it social? The baby born into dire poverty might belong to a family in Bangladesh, and the one born to extravagant luxury might belong to a family in America. Whose fault is this disparity or injustice? Is there some specific society that caused this? Or is it just one of those things that we wish was very different? If it is an injustice, it is unjust from some cosmic perspective, an unjust fate, rather than necessarily an unjust institution or society. Making a distinction between cosmic justice and social justice is more than just a semantic fine point. Once we recognize that there are innumerable causes of innumerable disparities, we can no longer blithely assume that either the cause or the cure can be found in the government of
a particular society. Anyone who studies geography in any depth can see that different peoples and nations never had the same exposure to the progress of the rest of the human race. People living in isolated mountain valleys have for centuries lagged behind the progress of people living in busy ports, where both new products and new ideas arrive from around the world. If you study history in addition to geography, you are almost forced to acknowledge that there was never any realistic chance for all peoples to have the same achievements -- even if they were all born with the same potential and even if there were no social injustices. Once I asked a class of black college students what they thought would happen if a black baby were born, in the middle of a ghetto, and entered the world with brain cells the same as those of Albert Einstein. There were many different opinions — but no one in that room thought that such a baby, in such a place, would grow up to become another Einstein. Some blamed discrimination but others saw the social setting as too much to overcome. If discrimination is the main reason that such

a baby has little or no chance for great intellectual achievements, then that is something caused by society — a social injustice. But if the main reason is that the surrounding cultural environment provides little incentive to develop intellectual potential, and many distractions from that goal, that is a cosmic injustice. Many years ago, a study of black adults with high IQs found that they described their childhoods as “extremely unhappy” more often than other black adults did. There is little that politicians can do about that — except stop pretending that all problems in black communities originate in other communities. Similar principles apply around the world. Every group trails the long shadow of its cultural heritage — and no society can change the past. But they can stop leading people into the blind alley of resentments of others. A better future often requires internal changes that pay off better than mysticism about one’s own group or about “social justice.” (Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

Hometown marks half century post-Faulkner BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
OXFORD — Five decades after his death, William Faulkner still draws literary pilgrims to his Mississippi hometown, the “little postage stamp of native soil” he made famous through his novels. Oxford inspired the fictional town of Jefferson that was a frequent setting for his stories, and it’s commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Nobel laureate’s death Friday with several events that include a tag-team reading of his novel “The Reivers,” beginning about daybreak. Roughly 25,000 people a year visit Faulkner’s antebellum home, Rowan Oak, which is now owned by the University of Mississippi. The author’s meticulous handwriting appears on the walls of his downstairs office. Using pencil, he outlined events of his 1954 novel “A Fable.” William Griffith, the Rowan Oak curator since 1999, said writing was a “demon-driven” task for Faulkner. “You’re going to hear about the agony and the
sweat and the difficulty and the compulsion,” Griffith said. “You’re not going to hear anything about how great it was, how relaxing and beautiful it was. None of that. He just did what he had to do to get it done.” Oxford’s lure is similar to that of Key West, Fla., for fans of Ernest Hemingway and Salinas, Calif., for devotees of John Steinbeck. “I’ve just always wanted to see this,” Lisa McDanels of Rocky River, Ohio, said as she and her husband toured Faulkner’s home. “You think, ‘Oh, he walked here.”’ The two-story Greek Revival home was built in 1848, and Faulkner bought it in 1930. It sits a mile from the town square, but feels isolated because it’s encircled by woods — oaks, magnolias, cedars, dogwoods and honeysuckle. Griffith said the home retains its character, with one important addition — climate control. Faulkner added central heating in the 1930s but scorned air conditioning, despite summer temperatures that reach the 90s and stifling humidity. In
“The Reivers,” a character groused, “there are no seasons at all any more, with interiors artificially contrived at sixty degrees in summer and ninety degrees in winter, so that mossbacked recidivists like me must go outside in summer to escape cold and in winter to escape heat.” The day after Faulkner died, his wife, Estelle, had a window-unit air conditioner installed in her upstairs bedroom. Ole Miss bought Rowan Oak in 1972 from the Faulkners’ daughter, Jill. The house was renovated from 2001 to 2003, and central air conditioning was added. Faulkner was known for sitting on the square to observe Oxford’s small-town comings and goings. In 1997, to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth in nearby New Albany, Oxford dedicated a Faulkner statue in front of its own City Hall. Now, tourists snap photos by the life-sized bronze. Faulkner and his wife are buried in St. Peter’s Cemetery, north of the square, and fans pay tribute by pouring bourbon on the gravesite.
Donald Kartiganer, professor emeritus of English who held the Faulkner studies chair at Ole Miss, recalled taking Salman Rushdie on a private tour of Rowan Oak in 2006. When Rushdie saw Faulkner’s writing table and typewriter, his voice fell into hushed reverence and he asked if he could sit there. Kartiganer said yes. “He sits down and he puts his hands, not touching the keys, just sort of hovering over them, the way you would if you were in the vicinity of a holy relic,” Kartiganer recalled. “Then he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the smallest digital camera I’ve ever seen and says, ‘Would you take my picture?”’ Mississippi Arts Commission director Malcolm White compares Faulkner’s posthumous fame to that of another north Mississippi native. “He’s like Elvis,” White said. “He’s never been bigger than he is today.” English professor Jay Watson, Kartiganer’s successor as Faulkner specialist, politely disagrees with White’s assessment. Even during Faulkner’s lifetime, he was recog-
nized as one of the most important literary figures of the 20th Century. But, Watson concedes Faulkner is more appreciated in Oxford these days. “Oxford didn’t start coming around to him until after he won the Nobel Prize” in 1949, Watson said. “Before then, most people in Oxford just thought he was somebody who was making Oxford look bad. But after he won the Nobel, all the sudden, he was kind of making Oxford look good, because he was this smalltown native son who won the most distinguished award in literature.”
Locals saw Faulkner as an oddball who’d be so wrapped up in his own thoughts that he’d often walk past people he knew without exchanging pleasantries. Faulkner went to Canada and trained as a Royal Air Force aviator, but never saw combat because World War I ended before he completed training. Nonetheless, Watson said, Faulkner would walk around Oxford in a flight officer’s uniform, complete with a cane and sometimes with a limp, and tell people he’d been wounded in a plane crash, which wasn’t true.

Chestnut downs 68 hot dogs BY COLLEEN LONG Associated Press
NEW YORK — Joey Chestnut ate his way to a sixth straight win at the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Coney Island on Wednesday, tying his personal best in a sweaty, gag-inducing spectacle. The 28-year-old San Jose, Calif., man nicknamed “Jaws� scarfed down 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes in the sweltering summer heat to take home $10,000 and the mustard yellow belt. He bested his main rival by 16 dogs. “I feel good, it was a great win,� Chestnut said after the contest, adding he wished he could have eaten a record number of hot dogs for the audience. “I tried my best. I’m looking forward to next year already.� Second place went to
Tim Janus of New York with 52 hot dogs, who received $5,000. Third place went to Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago with 51, who won $2,500. Chestnut was neckand-neck with competitors during the first half of the contest, but he pulled ahead in the remaining minutes, choking down dog after dog, while other competitors slowed as the clock wound down. “I’m happy to come out with the win,� he said. Sonya Thomas, of Alexandria, Va., downed 45 wieners to win the women’s competition. She reached her goal of eating 45 in the time limit — her age — and took home her own pink champion’s belt and $10,000. Thomas, known as the “Black Widow� of competitive eating, won last year as well, the first
WHY PREACH CHRIST?
Paul stated, "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness" (1 Cor 1:23). Why should Paul and other Christians preach Christ? There had to be good reasons why Paul and the early Christians preached Christ. Christ endured the cross to make it possible for the followers of him to receive the forgiveness of sins. Thomas had to be convinced that Christ endured the cross according to John 20:25, "The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails , and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe". Many are not aware of the sacrifice that Christ made on the cross so that Christians may have the forgiveness of sins. The church which belongs to Christ was purchased with his own blood according to Acts 20:28. "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood". Christ died on the cross so that Christians may be redeemed by the precious blood of Christ. All Christians have been purchased by the precious blood of Christ. "But with the precious blood of Christ , as of a lamb without blemish and without spot"(1 Pet 1: 19). Christ is referred to as the Saviour of the world. "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world" (1 John 4:14). Only those who follow the Saviour and the teachings of his word have hope beyond the grave. Those who want to follow the Saviour must believe in him, repent of sins, confess him and be baptized for the remission of sins (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:37; Acts 22:16). Christ will not be the Saviour of those who follow a different plan than that which is revealed in the word of God. Sins are washed away by the precious blood of Christ when we follow his teachings.
time a separate contest was held for women. Juliet Lee, of Germantown, Md., took second place with 33 and won $5,000. Lee also won second place last year. Third place went to Michelle Lesco, of Tuscon, Ariz., who received $2,500 for downing 251⠄2. Thomas said she started to feel sick while eating but kept pushing so she could win the title. “There is a limit so I have to fight,� she said. Thomas said next year she’s going to beat her record again and eat 46. “Because I’m going to be 46 next year,� she said. The Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest has been a city tradition for 97 years. Tens of thousands of spectators gather to gawk as contestants shimmy, slither and bounce as they dip hot dogs in water and cram them down their throats. For some, it’s a painful reminder of excess — especially as the U.S. battles a growing obesity problem. The American Medical Association opposes competitive eating, saying it’s harmful to the human body. But the competitive eaters are quite trim. Chestnut is over 6 feet tall and a muscly 218 pounds, and Thomas weighed in at barely 100 pounds.

WASHINGTON — A majority of economists in the latest Associated Press Economy Survey expect the national unemployment rate to stay above 6 percent — the upper bounds of what’s considered healthy — for at least four more years. If the economists are correct, the job market will still be unhealthy seven years after the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009. That would be the longest stretch of high unemployment since the end of World War II. And it means the job market and the economy — President Barack Obama’s main political threats — would remain big challenges in either a second Obama term or President Mitt Romney’s first term. “The election isn’t going to be a miracle cure for the unemployment rate — that’s for sure,� says Sean Snaith, an economics professor at the University of Central Florida. He thinks unemployment, which is 8.2

WASHINGTON — Hundreds of thousands of Americans from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic were preparing to spend the Fourth of July like the nation’s founders did in 1776, without the conveniences of electricity and air conditioning. Power outages from Friday’s violent storms left many grumbling that America’s birthday would hardly be a party. Cookouts were cancelled or moved to homes with power. Vacation plans were altered. Even some whose power had been restored said they had run out of steam to celebrate the way they had planned. Friday’s storm arrived with little warning and knocked out power to 3 million homes and businesses in states from West Virginia to Ohio and Illinois. Officials blamed 25 deaths on the storm and its aftermath, and power companies in some places estimated it could be the

WASHINGTON — If you have military-age children who have not served in this decade’s wars, then you owe a debt — meaning money — to those who did. That’s the premise of a new fundraising effort by three wealthy American families who want to help U.S. veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Every non-military family should give some-

think the rate in the final six months of the year will be just 2.3 percent. That’s too weak to bring the unemployment rate down. ■Monthly job gains will average 139,000 the rest of this year — barely enough to keep up with population growth and prevent unemployment from worsening. In their forecast in April, the economists predicted average monthly job gains of 189,000. ■The one step Europe could take that would boost confidence in its financial system quickly would be a bailout program like the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, that Congress approved in 2008 to rescue U.S. banks after the financial crisis hit. ■The biggest threat to the U.S. economy is the tax increases and spending cuts that will take effect Jan. 1 unless Congress reaches an agreement. Many economists and the International Monetary Fund have warned that these measures would push the economy off a “fiscal cliff� and back into recession.
weekend before everyone’s power is restored. More than 900,000 homes and businesses remained without power early Wednesday. As a result, power repairs were taking priority over parties in many parts. At least four planned fireworks displays were cancelled in Maryland because of the outages, with officials saying they couldn’t spare police and fire resources for the festivities. In Rockville, Md., officials called off their celebration because trees and wires were blocking two of the three entrances to the college campus where fireworks were planned. In Gaithersburg, Md., Acting City Manager Tony Tomasello said his city, about 30 minutes north of Washington, cancelled its display because a power company is using its planned celebration location, a fairgrounds, as a staging area for repairs. Hundreds of bucket trucks park there when crews finish their
16-hour shifts, and transformers, gravel and poles are being stored there too. “Everyone’s disappointed. We’re disappointed,� Tomasello said of cancelling the celebration, adding that it would be rescheduled. In West Virginia, meanwhile, officials urged people to resist the temptation to set off fireworks at home because the risk of fire is too high. Many brown, crunchy lawns were already potential fuel, but the trees and limbs that fell during the storm have added even more tinder. Some people affected by the storm were too tired or frustrated to think about fireworks, parties or planned holiday travel. Dennis Andrews, 62, of Ellicott City, Md., had planned to go to Myrtle Beach, S.C. But after spending 14 hours cutting trees that fell on his property, Andrews, who runs a construction equipment rental company, said he was ready to relax by the pool instead.

percent now, won’t drop back to 6 percent until after 2016. Economists consider a “normal� level to be between 5 percent and 6 percent. The economists surveyed by the AP foresee an unemployment rate of 8 percent on Election Day. That would be the highest rate any postwar president running for reelection has faced. The survey results come before the government reports Friday on hiring during June. Fears about the economy escalated after U.S. employers added just 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year and the third straight month of weak job growth. The AP survey collected the views late last month from 32 private, corporate and academic economists on a range of issues. Among their views: ■The economy will continue to grow only slowly. The average forecast for the April-June period is that GDP grew at an annual rate of 2 percent. That’s down from a 2.4 percent forecast in April. The economists

thing, they said. The affluent should give large sums. No one should think of it as charity, but rather a moral obligation, an alternative way to serve, perhaps the price of being spared the anxiety that comes with having a loved one in a war zone. “We have three ablebodied, wonderful, wonderful children, all of whom are devoted to doing very, very good things around social justice; and we could not be more proud of them,� said Philip Green, a local businessman who devised the fundraising idea. “We’re also delighted that none of them had to serve in
Iraq or Afghanistan.� Green says he and his wife came to look at that as unfair: “I realized that there were parents just like me down the street, down the block ... who did not have that luxury� and were suffering sleepless nights and anxiety, “which I was able to avoid.� Green, president of health care consultancy PDG Consulting, and his wife Dr. Elizabeth Cobbs, head of geriatrics at Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington, teamed with two other couples to start the fundraising. Together, they donated a total of $1.1 million.

Successful career change sours longtime friendship DEAR ABBY: I am 39, married, and a professional woman with a good income. My best friend, “Barbie,� and I both went to work after high school without completing our education. However, after several years I decided to go to college and get a degree so I could change careers. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. My income has more than doubled. Barbie is obviously jealous of my new life, which affords me opportunities to travel, take vacations, and have the money to buy things I couldn’t afford before. She and her family barely make ends meet. Although we have been like sisters since childhood, I now feel as if I must walk on eggshells
around her -guarding my conversation lest I mention a new Abigail purchase Van Buren or having time off. If Dear Abby something does slip out, Barbie becomes defensive and sarcastic. Abby, I shouldn’t have to apologize for my new lifestyle. I worked hard to make a change for myself. What can I do? I really like her, but this is becoming difficult. An example: We went shopping last week. She bought only a gift she had to have for a birthday -nothing for herself. I felt uncomfortable with my
purchases, even though they weren’t extravagant. She made a comment to the effect that “it must be nice to be able to buy something so frivolous.� I should mention that Barbie’s parents are still willing to send her through college or a tech school, even at the age of 39, but she chooses not to make the effort. -- TIRED OF FEELING APOLOGETIC DEAR TIRED: When your friend commented that it must be nice to be able to buy something frivolous, you had an opening to tell her that before you earned your degree you couldn’t either, which was one of the reasons you decided it was time to change your life by returning to school.
Your friend is fortunate she has parents who are able (and willing) to pay for her college education. How sad that she lacks the determination and drive to get one. As things stand, the nature of your friendship with Barbie must change. If the relationship is to continue, you will have to forgo the shopping trips together and any references to your new lifestyle. Otherwise, they will be perceived as bragging, and the comparisons may be painful to her. Be prepared to be sensitive to that, or move on. DEAR ABBY: I am the owner of a small boutique for women. My only fulltime employee is everything an employer could ask for. However, she of-
ten comes in looking like she just crawled out of bed and doesn’t own an iron. What can I say to help her become more aware of her appearance? I don’t want to hurt her feelings. I jokingly told her to “retire� a pair of slacks she frequently wears because they are too tight and the rear end is shiny. But this week she came in wearing them again -- so evidently, she didn’t get the message. Please help. Thank you. -- ANNE IN MISSOURI DEAR ANNE: Because your employee didn’t take the hint, you must be more direct with her. Explain that you expect her to dress more carefully for work because: 1. Her attire represents the
image of the shop, and 2. a salesperson who is sharply dressed inspires customers to shop. Then tell her exactly what you expect from her, and offer to help her coordinate some acceptable outfits -- perhaps by giving her a discount on some items from the store. If that doesn’t work, consider putting together a “uniform� for her to wear when she’s working. It’s what some of the top designers have done in their stores.

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS In the after-party of the full moon, we sort through the fallout of decisions made on Tuesday. If the Capricorn moon were a government, it would operate on a spoils system, not a meritocracy. The winner gives all supporters a position to reward their loyalty. Today’s Aquarius moon keeps us busy trying to figure out how everyone fits in. ARIES (March 21-April 19). At moments today you’ll feel like you’re in a movie and will find yourself looking around for the camera. But don’t be self-conscious. Go with the flow, and enjoy a new adventure. TAURUS (April 20May 20). It’s good to sometimes be involved
in helping others or fixing their problems. But if things don’t feel right when you’re not helping, there’s a bigger problem to handle. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Pet peeves have a way of growing from Chihuahuas into Great Danes. Don’t let minor irritations overwhelm you today. Smile and keep little annoyances on a short leash. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be aware of what you can do to affect your distant future. A few timely measures made over the course of the next six weeks will make a remarkable difference in where you stand five years from now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unfinished business is simply love that hasn’t
been put in motion yet. Give your love. When you’re feeling afraid, it’s a signal that you have more love to give, and you should do so ASAP. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are knowledgeable people around you. You will be actively learning and taking the notes to prove it. You’ll need this information later, so be sure to keep it in an accessible place. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whatever mood you’re in, you’ll get more of the same. So the ability to change an uncomfortable mood or raise a neutral one to something cheerful will be the key to your well-being. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Seize the day -- but not too hard. Clinging will restrict the flow of
spontaneity that makes your time so engaging. Remember that slow, steady steps are just as important as big leaps. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The Norse deity Thor threw his hammer and caused lightning and thunder. Someone you know has an equally intimidating temper, but you have a way of neutralizing this person’s negative powers. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Others may upset your timetable. They are not intentionally trying to mess you up; it’s just that their needs don’t fit nicely into the schedule. You’ll rise to the challenge by staying flexible and positive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Usually it’s not about the money. Your

Perkins returns to sidelines at JCJC Associated Press
ELLISVILLE — Ray Perkins leans back in his chair, enthusiastically talking football in his Mississippi office at tiny Jones County Junior College. A pair of palm trees stands in the heat outside — a dead giveaway that this is a long way from Giants Stadium and the bright lights of the NFL. But for the 70-year-old Perkins, it’s football paradise. “It fits like a glove,” Perkins said. “This is what I’m supposed to be doing.” That may surprise some people. Perkins led the New York Giants from 1979 to 1982, the Alabama Crimson Tide from 1983 to ’86 and the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers from 1987 to 1990. He’s also known for developing assistants who went onto distinguished NFL careers — including Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick and Romeo Crennel. But it’s been 20 years since he was a head coach — and more than 10 years since he was a full-time coach of any kind. And now he has resurfaced in this junior college in a town of about 4,500 people in the southeastern corner of Mississippi. The facilities are decent — but more on the level of a solid high school program than anything he was used to during his days in the NFL and Southeastern Confer-
ence. Crennel understands the reasons his former boss is in Ellisville. The head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs said he was initially surprised Perkins would get back into coaching, but that in a lot of ways the move made sense. “Once that coaching gets in your blood it’s hard to get it out,” Crennel said. “Sounds like to me he’s happy and he’s excited, so I’m certainly excited for him.” Crennel said Perkins has never been afraid to take a chance or pull an unorthodox move, and that’s a big reason for his success. His first meeting with Perkins came at a
restaurant in Hattiesburg, Miss., in 1980, after the two were introduced by mutual friends in the coaching profession. “We talked about football, but we also talked about life,” Crennel said. “At the end of the meeting, he told me he didn’t have a job, but was impressed and would keep me in mind for the future. A year later, he hired me with the Giants. He wasn’t afraid to go with a hunch or a good feeling.” At this stage of his coaching career, Perkins said the perceived status of a job isn’t important.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Suspended New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and his wife of nearly 20 years have filed dueling divorce petitions in Texas. Payton filed a petition in Tarrant County district court seeking a divorce from Beth Payton on June 14. It lists the grounds as “discord or conflict of personalities” and seeks to divide the couple’s assets and provide for joint custody of their two children. Beth Payton filed a counter petition on June 26 requesting that she receive primary custody of the children and exclusive rights to make other decisions, such as those concerning their medical care and education, on their behalf. It also asks that the coach pay child support and pay for the children’s medical care. The breakdown of the Paytons’ marriage comes during an already difficult year for the embattled coach, who has been suspended for the entire 2012 season in connection with an NFL investigation that concluded the Saints had a bounty system for the past three seasons that paid defensive players improper cash bonuses for injury-casing hits to targeted opponents. The divorce papers were filed in Texas because the couple moved to an exclusive neighborhood in the Fort Worth suburb of Westlake in 2011. Payton has said since his suspension that he hopes to spend as much time as possible with his children and even coach his son Connor’s football team. It is not clear how the divorce may affect the coach’s plans, but the papers indicate that he has already moved out of the couple’s primary residence. Sean Payton could not be reached for comment and his attorney, Gary Nickelson, did not return a call to his office. Beth Payton’s attorney, Heather King, declined comment. The Paytons’ move from suburban New Orleans to Texas was initially met with angst by Saints fans who were concerned that the most successful coach in club history, who joined the Saints in 2006 and won a Super Bowl Please see SAINTS | 9

Federer cruises into the semifinal round Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England — After curling in a 102 mph ace to grab a two-set lead a mere 56 minutes into his Wimbledon quarterfinal Wednesday, Roger Federer casually pulled an extra tennis ball from his pocket and strolled to sit in his changeover chair for a sip to drink. No fist pump. No yell of excitement. No energized jog to the sideline. There still was work to be done; nothing to be taken for
granted. Motivated by the bitter memory of quarterfinal losses at the All England Club the past two years, including a wasted two-set edge in 2011, six-time Wimbledon champion Federer bullied 26th-seeded Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 to reach his record 32nd career Grand Slam semifinal. “Feels great being back in the semis. ... Haven’t been here in the last couple years,” the third-seeded Federer said. “So
this is nice, to be back to a place where I’ve been so many times before.” He’s two wins away from a seventh Wimbledon championship, which would equal a mark set by William Renshaw in the 1880s — back when the defending champion received a bye directly into the final — and tied by Pete Sampras in 2000. Nothing worked for Youzhny, including a kidding plea for help from eight-time major champion Andre Agassi, who
was seated next to his wife, Steffi Graf, in the front row of the Royal Box, near Prince William and his wife, Kate. “I know I’m playing really well,” Federer said. “I am aware things are going to get complicated in the next match.” Sure are. That’s because he’ll face a familiar foe Friday: No. 1 Novak Djokovic, the defending champion, who didn’t have too much Please see FEDERER | 9
Wrigley renovation plans stalled by political flap Associated Press
CHICAGO — As the baseball season began, Chicago buzzed about plans to upgrade wilting Wrigley Field. Then word spread that the patriarch of the family that owns the Cubs considered bankrolling a $10 million racially tinged campaign against President Barack Obama, at the same time the team sought his hometown’s help with its $300 million renovation. Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the
president’s friend and former chief of staff, has since refused to negotiate financing or even take phone calls from the Cubs chairman. A best-selling author took to the Internet to vow never to step foot in Wrigley again. Now fans are left wondering if the complicated financial deals and presidential politics mean the team’s owners will have to put more money into the stadium, and less into building a winning ballclub.
“He’s got $10 million to spend on that nonsense. He should spend $10 million on pitching,” longtime fan Pam Paxton said of Joe Ricketts, head of the Cubs-owning Ricketts family, as she waited for Wrigley’s bleachers so she could watch the last-place team. Ricketts, a conservative benefactor and founder of TD Ameritrade, swiftly squelched the proposal for an ad campaign revisiting racially pro-
vocative sermons delivered by Obama’s former pastor. Ricketts’ children joined him in repudiating its message. But now the family that three years ago bought the team with the famously loyal fans is learning something about Chicago-style hardball. “The Ricketts have tried to contact the Mayor but he’s said that he does not want to talk with them today, tomorPlease see WRIGLEY | 9

in his fourth season, was no longer as personally invested in the community as he had been during his first five years there. However, the coach, who was an assistant in Dallas for three years before coming to New Orleans, stated that he and his wife had long aspired to live in the neighborhood to which they moved, and to enroll their daughter Megan, 15, and Connor, 12, in an elite private school there. Payton commuted regularly between Dallas and New Orleans during the 2011 season. The travel did not appear to interfere significantly with his work. The Saints won the NFC South Division with a 13-3 record and set numerous club and NFL records with the offense that Payton designed.

ately had a good feeling about the work environment at Jones County. “It gives me an opportunity to have a little meaning, to hopefully teach something to these young people and also learn some things from them as well,” Perkins said. “These are two or three of the most important years in their life. The passion I’ve had for football has never wavered, so I really jumped at this chance.” Perkins lives in Hattiesburg, which is about a 30-minute drive from Ellisville. He’s been in a semi-retired state for the past decade, dividing his time among football fundraisers, a small commercial real estate business and a healthy dose of golf. He’s also got two daughters — ages 14 and 8 — who taught him at least one important part of the new college football landscape: Text messaging. “That’s all those girls do — especially the 14-year-old,” Perkins said with a grin as he held up his smartphone. “And that’s all my players do. So it’s been good practice.” Jones County President Jesse Smith said he met Perkins at a golf tournament a few years ago, and when the school’s football job became open, he was pleasantly surprised to find the coach’s resume on his desk. But there were still some reservations.

trouble while beating No. 31 Florian Mayer of Germany 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 in the quarterfinals. This will be the sixth semifinal in the past eight Grand Slam tournaments, and 27th meeting overall, for Federer and Djokovic, and their first at Wimbledon. Federer leads 14-12, but Djokovic won six of their last seven matches, including at the French Open a month ago. “There’s no secrets with those guys. They know how to play each other,” said Federer’s coach, Paul Annacone. “So it’s really going to be who plays the bigger points better.” The other men’s semifinal will be No. 4 Andy Murray of Britain against No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France. Neither has won a Grand Slam title or been to a Wimbledon final. Cue “Murray Mania,” as it’s known around these parts. He is trying to become the first British man to earn the trophy at the All England Club since Fred Perry in 1936; the last to even make it to the title match was Bunny Austin in 1938. “If you think too much about it, and you read the newspapers and you watch the stuff on TV that’s said about you, I think it would become far too much,” Murray said. “But if you kind of shield yourself from it all and kind of just get into your own little bubble, only listen to the people that are around you, then it’s something you can deal with.” He was one point from facing a two-set deficit before coming back to eliminate No. 7 David Ferrer of Spain 6-7 (5), 7-6 (6), 6-4, 7-6 (4) to get to the semifinals for the fourth year in a row. Murray lost at that stage to Andy Roddick in 2009, then to Rafael Nadal in 2010 and 2011 — and No. 2 Nadal’s stunning exit in the second round last week ratcheted up expectations this would be Murray’s year.

Lee departs; Astros fall to Pirates 6-4 Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Carlos Lee’s locker sat empty in the middle of a quiet clubhouse shortly after Houston’s 6-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. After more than five seasons, the burly first baseman is on his way to the Miami Marlins in exchange for minor leaguers Matt Dominguez and Rob Rasmussen. Neither player is ready for the majors. Too bad. The struggling club could certainly use reinforcements. Lee was removed abruptly in the seventh inning of a one-run game after the trade was completed. The Astros collapsed moments
later, dropping their seventh straight. Manager Brad Mills pulled center fielder Jordan Schafer in the third inning following a fielding miscue that helped the Pirates quickly erase a two-run deficit. “I just felt that (Schafer’s) play and behavior didn’t match what we needed to get done,” Mills said. Lee isn’t the only Astros player apparently on the move. Though he has been one of the few bright spots of late, starter Dallas Keuchel (1-1) will be shipped to Triple-A Oklahoma City so the team can bring up a reliever to help out a weary bullpen. Mills stressed the de-
cision has nothing to do with performance. Keuchel gave up four runs in 5 2-3 innings, or one more run than he surrendered in his previous three starts combined. “I knew if I got the first three guys out consistently I would have a good shot and I made some bad pitches to the bottom of the order and they made me pay,” Keuchel said after his ERA rose from 1.35 to 2.45. J.D. Martinez hit his 10th homer for Houston, while Scott Moore and Brian Bogusevic each had two hits, though it couldn’t stop Houston from continuing its slide. The Astros are 10-26 since moving
within a game of .500 on May 25. “Right now it just feels like we have a little too much pressure right now,” Martinez said. “We’ve got to break out of this.” They’ll have to do it without Lee, who hit .287 with five homers and 29 RBI in 65 games this season. The 36-year-old is in the final year of a contract that pays him about $9 million. The Astros, in their last season in the NL Central before moving to the American League in 2013, are rebuilding. It’s a spot the Pirates have seemingly been in for nearly two decades. The pieces, however, appear to be in place
for a run at a winning record and maybe even the postseason for the first time since 1992. Pittsburgh has won seven of eight to improve to 45-36 at the season’s midway point, looking very much like a team that could stick around through the summer. Mike McKenry and Garrett Jones knocked in two runs each for the Pirates. “This stretch that we’ve had is awesome but I think this is very indicative of this ballclub,” second baseman Neil Walker said. “We knew the bats were going to start coming around, and when we did we knew we were going to score a lot of runs.”
fices and appearing on a black-oriented radio programs. He’s pleaded for understanding and argued the team should not be blamed for the controversy, saying the attack campaign is “not something that was ever considered by anyone in the Ricketts family,” including his father. One of the aldermen, Howard Brookins, said it would be folly not to expect “blowback” from
Obama’s Democratic hometown. “Especially with someone with the reputation of Rahm Emanuel, who punishes people who are his political enemies, I don’t know how you think you can get away with that,” Brookins said. The political drama has meant limbo for a baseball team suffering through one of its worst seasons in its bleak history. Any hope the team had of starting construc-
tion as soon as the season ends likely has vanished. The Cubs had asked the City Council for permission to put $150 million in city amusement taxes into the renovation, while asking state lawmakers to also issue $150 million in bonds. The team also asked the city to relax Wrigley’s landmark status, which could bring in $150 million more from advertising, sponsorship and
perhaps a Jumbotron. It was a long shot that the Legislature would approve public funds with the state embroiled in one of the nation’s worst budget crises. But with Emanuel’s support it was at least possible. If talks resume now, the team must wait until the fall session — after the November election — to even broach the subject. And the Ricketts’ negotiating stance is severely weakened.

Short Hops
Miguel Cabrera, Detroit The first baseman-turned-third baseman did his best work in bunches last week. He had three games with three or more hits, including 3-for-4, 4-for-5 and 3-for-3 games. He batted .462 and tied for the AL lead with six RBIs. Cabrera scored five times.
Phil Hughes, New York With both CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte injured, the Yankees were desperate for quality starting pitching. Hughes responded in a big way, tossing eight shutout innings against the Indians, and followed that with eight strong innings vs. the White Sox, allowing just a couple of runs. He totaled 12 strikeouts in his 16 innings of work for the week.
Ryan Zimmerman, Washington Mired in a season-long funk, Zimmerman emerged with the best week in the National League. He hit .364 with a 1.158 OPS. He enjoyed four multi-hit games and three multi-RBI games. Zimmerman, who plays exceptional defense, had seven extra-base hits and reached base in every game via a hit or walk.
Mat Latos, Cincinnati Latos, who entered the week with a 5.20 ERA, tossed a pair of complete games, allowing just one run in each contest. He set down the Brewers on four hits, including a solo homer, then won at San Francisco, 2-1, by giving up just two hits. His weekly ledger reads: 2-0, 1.00 ERA, 0.44 WHIP, 18 IP, 6 hits, 2 walks and 20 Ks.
Dylan Bundy, Baltimore Bundy began his pro career this season at Single-A Delmarva and made eight starts without allowing an earned run, and gave up only five hits in 30 innings. He was promoted to High-A Frederick and has made six starts. While Bundy has been very good, he has been human at the higher level. The young righthander has logged 28.2 innings and given up 24 hits, eight walks and struck out 30. But he has allowed 10 earned runs.
July 6, 1933 Major League Baseball hosted its first All-Star Game at Comiskey Park in Chicago. Led by managers Connie Mack and John McGraw, the players didn’t disappoint the 47,595 fans in attendance. Winning pitcher Lefty Gomez singled home Jimmy Dykes with the game’s first run. Babe Ruth (fittingly) hit the first All-Star Game home run as the American League prevailed, 4-2. Lefty Grove pitched the final three innings for the winners.
July 9, 2002 After 11 exciting innings, the All-Star Game ended in a tie as both teams had used all their pitchers. Freddy Garcia and Vicente Padilla pitched the final two innings for their respective leagues.
Andrew McCutchen
San Francisco at Pittsburgh The Giants took two of three from the Pirates in San Francisco way back in April, but that’s meaningless now. Barry Zito, Ryan Vogelsong and Tim Lincecum will try to continue the Giants’ string of quality starts. Both teams pitch better than they hit, so don’t expect high-scoring games.
Baltimore at Los Angeles Angels Both squads need to reel off a few wins to keep their deficits within striking distance for the second half. The Angels have won four of five games between the two this season, including a two-game sweep at Baltimore last week by a combined score of 20-4.
New York Yankees at Boston Just when we thought this rivalry had lost its luster with the Red Sox floundering in last place, Boston began to warm up. The Red Sox have pulled within six games of the Yankees and are looking to close the gap before the break. Fill-in starter Freddy Garcia will pitch on Saturday for the Yankees. Aaron Cook, who pitched a shutout last week, will toe the mound on Thursday night for the Sox.

Athlon Sports Selects the Best All-Stars Every season as I put together my two All-Star teams, I marvel at how my rosters differ from the fan vote. But I get it. This is a popularity vote. And this season there were more votes cast than ever as Josh Hamilton shattered the record by topping 11 million. My rosters have 34 players, at least one representative from each team, a starter and backup at each position, and I didn’t ignore setup men like the managers did in real life. Oh, just for fun, the starters appear below in my suggested batting order as well. So, without further setup, here are my two All-Star rosters. Wright, AP Images; Cano, Athlon Sports
NATIONAL LEAGUE CF Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Quickly becoming one of the best allaround players in the NL, McCutchen has been clutch with his bat, legs and glove this season. RF Carlos Beltran, St. Louis The newest member of the 300-300 and 2,000-hit clubs leads the NL with 60 RBIs and is second to Ryan Braun with 20 home runs. 1B Joey Votto, Cincinnati This may be the easiest selection of both leagues. Best pure hitter in the National League and best first baseman in baseball right now. LF Matt Kemp, Los Angeles The Dodgers’ center fielder was having too good a season to leave off this team even though a balky hamstring has robbed him of more than a month. 3B David Wright, New York The fans really blew this one. Wright, hitting .354, is leading all third basemen with 50 runs and 53 RBIs. DH Ryan Braun, Milwaukee The 2011 NL MVP had a rough offseason, but on the field picked up right where he left off last season. 2B Brandon Phillips, Cincinnati A handful of second sackers could start for the NL this season, but Phillips gets the nod because of his awesome defense.
6 9 15 9 20 66 67 1973
David Wright (left) was snubbed by voters but is having a terrific season at third base for the Mets. Robinson Cano is an easy choice for second base in the American League.
SS Rafael Furcal, St. Louis No one at the position especially stands out in the NL, but Furcal leads shortstops with 52 runs and has driven in 31 from his leadoff spot. C Carlos Ruiz, Philadelphia Anytime a catcher is leading the league in batting average, you have to allow him to start. Ruiz is batting .356, handles pitchers well and is tough to steal on. SP R.A. Dickey, New York Forget about Dickey being the best feel-good story this season; he’s the best starting pitcher in the NL this year. The Mets are 13-3 when he starts, 30-34 when he doesn’t.

AMERICAN LEAGUE CF Adam Jones, Baltimore The Gold Glover in center is batting .302, has scored 52 runs and is now on the very short list for best player in the AL. Josh Hamilton is the lone outfielder with more extra-base hits. 2B Robinson Cano, New York The Yankees’ second baseman is arguably the best player in the league. LF Josh Hamilton, Texas Slowed by injuries (surprise), Hamilton is having another MVP season. 3B Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Perhaps the closest call in either lineup, Cabrera just edges Adrian Beltre in runs, homers and RBIs.
1B Paul Konerko, Chicago Two of the best first basemen in the NL last season — Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder — now play in the AL, but Konerko has been the best in 2012. DH David Ortiz, Boston Edgar Martinez has an argument, but Big Papi may be the best DH ever. RF Jose Bautista, Toronto Hitting only .239, but improving, Joey Bats still leads the league in bombs. SS Asdrubal Cabrera, Cleveland One of the best defensive players in baseball, Cabrera owns the highest OPS among AL shortstops. C A.J. Pierzynski, Chicago Evidently the White Sox veteran is not the most popular among fans or players given that he wasn’t even selected to the squad. He’s our starter. SP David Price, Tampa Bay The hard-throwing lefty is tied for the AL lead with 11 wins.

Times a player has had 14-plus home runs and 30-plus RBIs in the month of June. Jose Bautista became the sixth last month. You may have heard of the others: Babe Ruth, 1930; Jackie Jensen 1958; Roger Maris 1960 and 1961; and Reggie Jackson, 1969. Rookies on the White Sox 25-man roster. That doesn’t count rookie manager Robin Ventura. Nevertheless, the Sox are in first place in the AL Central in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year on the South Side. Home runs for Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen — his season total — since May 8. Only three players, Toronto’s Bautista (21), Trevor Plouffe (17) of the Twins and Robinson Cano (16) of the Yankees, have more during that time. Teams in each league within three games of the second wild card spot at the end of play on July 1. Home runs by Washington first basemen this season, the most of any team. Adam LaRoche leads the way with 15. Extra-base hits from Washington’s and Arizona’s middle infielders, most in the majors by that tandem. Extra-base hits from Arizona’s No. 1 and No. 2 hitters, most in the majors by that tandem. The last season the All-Star Game was played at Kauffman Stadium, the site of this year’s classic. It was Willie Mays’ 24th and final All-Star appearance as he pinch-hit for Willie Stargell and struck out against Sparky Lyle. Athlon Sports
Since voting for the All-Star Game was given to the fans in 1970, two players who were not originally listed on the ballot have been elected to start the AllStar Game as write-in candidates. Can you name those two players? (Hint: One was named All-Star Game MVP.) TRIVIA ANSWER: In 1970, Rico Carty of the Atlanta Braves joined Hank Aaron and Willie Mays in the National League outfield as a write-in candidate. Steve Garvey of the Dodgers earned his place in the 1974 game via write-in voting, and was named MVP.
• According to DodgerThoughts.com, there was a 45-inning stretch last week when the Dodgers had just 39 baserunners. Of those runners, 20 were stopped at first base, 15 found their way on to second, two managed to get to third, but were held there, and two scored. That’s right, just two. Now the Men in Blue are looking up at the Giants in the NL West standings. • What a month the Angels had in June. On May 31, the Angels had closed to within 5.5 games of the AL West-leading Texas Rangers, with momentum building. In June, the Angels had six regulars bat better than .300, outscored opponents 138-106, outhit opponents .299 to .257, had newfound closer Ernesto Frieri log 11.1 scoreless innings — perfect with eight save opportunities and three holds — and finished the month 18-9. But at the end of the day on July 1, the Angels remained 5.5 games back of the Rangers. • The Pittsburgh Pirates, aspiring to break the longest streak of losing seasons in North American team sports, suffered through two months of woeful offense. In April, the pitiful Pirates batted .228, hit 13 home runs and scored 58 runs in 22 games. (Andrew McCutchen batted .302.) In May, there was some improvement in power (25 homers) leading to more runs (89) but a worse average (.210) in 28 games. (McCutchen hit .360.) But the termites were exterminated from the bat rack in June. The Pirates hit more homers (39) in June than in April and May combined. They scored one less run (146) than in the first two months together. (And McCutchen batted .370.)
Rangers First team to win 50 games. Yankees Can they withstand injuries to CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte? Nationals Best team in the National League? No one is arguing. Angels Terrific June, but gained no ground on Rangers. Giants Run of four shutouts propelled Giants into first place. Reds Brandon Phillips not an All-Star? He would start on our team. Dodgers Should have Matt Kemp back in lineup after All-Star break. Orioles Traded for Jim Thome to boost offense. Rays Team is batting just .232; desperately need Evan Longoria back. Blue Jays Best last-place team in baseball. Braves Mike Minor over Stephen Strasburg in only win of series. White Sox Pitching staff bolstered by rookies. Mets Fans really blew the third base voting. #DavidWright Pirates Bullpen is tied with Reds for NL’s best ERA at 2.73. Cardinals No bridge between starters and late-inning relievers. Red Sox Best they could do was a split at Seattle? Diamondbacks Wade Miley pitching like an ace. Indians Hosting Angels and Rays in key series to finish first half. Tigers Should make some hay vs. Twins and Royals before break. A’s Closer Ryan Cook is well-kept secret. Marlins No team happier to see calendar turn from June than Marlins. Brewers Potential Zack Greinke trade in the making? Twins At .324, Joe Mauer is chasing another batting title. Mariners Scored nine runs in their last eight games. Phillies Sweep at Miami was painful. Royals Testing six-man rotation. Astros Jose Altuve, Jed Lowrie impressive middle infield. Padres Yasmani Grandal switch-hits bombs for first two hits of career. Rockies Pitching staff performing at “worst ever” levels. Cubs Youngster Brett Jackson may be on way to join Anthony Rizzo.
Kauffman Stadium transforming into All-Star venue Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On a piece of metal scaffolding beyond the leftfield wall at Kauffman Stadium, construction workers bolted together a table under a sweltering midday sun, the temperature tickling triple digits and sweat pouring off their brows. Along the baselines, groundskeepers laid stencils and began to paint All-Star game logos, while other workers hurriedly connected miles of cable, built camera platforms, hung banners and spruced up every corner
of the Kansas City Royals’ home for its night in the national spotlight. The anticipation is almost over: The All-Star game is merely a week away. “People haven’t been here in a long time, because no postseason games have been played here since 1985,” Royals vice president Mike Swanson said Tuesday. “We want people to say, ‘Wow, they did a heck of a job and we want to go back.’ That’s what we want.” That’s what the staff of the Royals — along with untold numbers of con-
struction workers — has been doing since the club left town for an extended road trip last week. There are entire sets to build for Fox, which has the television rights for Tuesday night’s All-Star game. There are bleachers to build for overflow press, and air conditioning to run to a giant, walkin soda can in right field, where sponsor Pepsi is giving some fortunate fans an opportunity to see the festivities from a most unique vantage point. Extra photo bays are being constructed for the roughly 75 still photogra-
phers documenting every aspect of the game. Electrical and internet cables are being run for some 500 reporters who will be covering the All-Star game on deadline for electronic and print publications. All told, there will be 2,556 credentials issued to reporters, technicians, officials and others associated with the event, second only to the 2008 All-Star game at the old Yankee Stadium. “When we got the game, we thought this would be one of the least-covered All-Star games,” said
Swanson, pointing out that the economy was in the doldrums just a few years ago, and the Olympics and November elections will financially strap many news organizations this year. “That has turned out to be about as far from the truth as you can get.” This is the third time Kansas City has rolled out the red carpet for baseball’s elite. The city hosted the game at the old Municipal Stadium in 1960, back when the Athletics were in town. The A’s moved to Oakland in 1968, and the
Royals came into being the following year, and new owner Ewing Kauffman — the namesake of the stadium — was rewarded for his desire to keep the game in Kansas City by hosting the 1973 All-Star game at his newly constructed ballpark. Kauffman Stadium recently underwent a $250 million renovation in part to lure the All-Star game back to Kansas City, and commissioner Bud Selig officially awarded the game on June 16, 2010. Two years of whirlwind preparations are about to come to fruition.
