Foreclosuresin state rise,but rate lowerthan mostBy Alan SayreThe Associated Press
The number of Mississippi residents faced with the loss of their homes through fore-closure rose in July, but the rate still is one of the lowest in the United States.
RealtyTrac, which tracks foreclosure actions nation-wide, said that 415 homeown-ers received a foreclosure-related notice last month. Those notices range from an initial default notice to out-right repossession. That’s up 16.9 percent from June, but down 13.2 percent from July 2009.
Last month, 211 homes in Mississippi were taken back by lenders. But Irving, Calif.-based RealtyTrac noted that there were no additional notices of final sale — the last step before a home is taken back.
For the second quarter of 2010 — April through June — 537 homes were repossessed.
With one in every 3,054 housing units receiving a foreclosure-related notice in July, Mississippi ranked 48th in the nation. Only North Dakota and West Virginia had lower rates.
Still, the foreclosure pat-tern in Mississippi follows a national pattern of troubled homeowners running out of time, said RealtyTrac CEO James Saccacio.
“Declines in new default notices, which were down on a year-to-year basis for the sixth straight month in July, have been offset by near-record levels of bank repos-sessions, which increased on a year-to-year basis for the eighth straight month,” Sac-cacio said.
Nationally, one in every 397 housing units received some sort of foreclosure notice in July.
Nevada led the nation in foreclosure notices for the 43rd straight month, fol-lowed by Arizona, Florida, California and Michigan. RealtyTrac said those states accounted for more than 50 percent of the national total of 325,229 foreclosure-related notices in July. That figure was up 4 percent from June, but down nearly 10 percent from July 2009.
Across the nation, banks have stepped up reposses-sions this year to clear out the backlog of bad loans. July makes the eighth month in a row that the pace of homes lost to foreclosure has increased on an annual basis.
Still, the number of home-owners who have fallen behind on their payments remains high, and these bor-rowers are being allowed to stay in their homes longer. That’s partly because lend-ers are reluctant to add to the glut of foreclosed homes

Rand McNally taps ‘unique’ road stopBy Danny Barrett [email protected]
A favorite Vicksburg roadside stop for locals looking to relax over lunch has been selected as a unique des-tination by a top travel information source.
The Tomato Place on U.S. 61 South near the Warrenton Road intersec-tion was chosen by Rand McNally over hundreds of locations as a unique travel destination for the prestigious Best of the Road award program for the publication’s 2011 road atlas, a designation that high-lights a handful of road-less-taken attractions annually.
“We congratulate The Tomato Place for being identified in our 2011 Best of the Road listing,” said Dave Muscatel, CEO of Rand McNally, in a release from the Skokie, Ill.-based company. “While there are multiple options for planning an on-the-road navigation, Americans continue to rely upon the Rand McNally Road Atlas each year to give them the big picture and the finer details of each road they travel.”
Known for its eclectic mix of fresh produce, frozen fruit drinks, apparel, crafts, potted plants and outdoor furniture, the U.S. 61 South eatery packs most of its loyal customers into its tiny gravel parking lot with an array of tasty plate lunches.
“We try to come here once a week,” said Diane Cargill of Vicks-burg, whose favorite is the chili cheese hot dog “with everything on it!”
Owner Luke Hughes, who sold hats from a roadside stand on 61 North before opening The Tomato Place in 2001, said the honor comes at a time when summer travelers brave the heat, roll in for a fruit drink and per-haps a burger.
“We get a lot of tourists who come through here who use the atlas,” Hughes said. “We’re kind of lucky, I
guess.” Travel experts with the longtime travel guide scoured the country for “outstanding trips and stops, rep-resenting the best America has to offer,” the release said. Vicksburg is along the route of the coming year’s five new road trips recommended by the publication’s editors, a trip dubbed “Following Old Man River.” The full route goes from Natchez to Tunica and, along with The Tomato Place, features three other places — Natchez in Historic Photographs, McCarty’s Pottery in Merigold, and Tunica RiverPark in Robinsonville. Also mentioned as great stops are Natchez City Cemetery, St. Cathe-rine Creek National Wildlife Refuge, also in Natchez, Mount Locust Inn in Tupelo, Grand Gulf Military Monu-ment and The Mississippi Gift Com-pany, in Greenwood.
Each suggested driving trip is 150 to 200 miles and geared to be a two- to three-day jaunt. Others for 2011 include:
• “Wild, Warm Alaska”: Anchorage to Valdez, Alaska
• “Earth Tones”: Reno, Nev., to Yosemite, Calif.
• “Seaside to Summit”: Manchester to Bretton Woods, N.H.
• “Around Lake Erie”: Cleveland, Ohio, to Windsor, Ontario
Editors develop trips by consider-ing lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path” locales showing “special char-acter, capture the region’s essence, and appeal to a broad range of people,” the release said. Each trip

Russia to load up Iran nuclear plant next weekBy The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Russia will load fuel into Iran’s first nuclear power plant next week despite United States demands to prevent Iran obtaining nuclear energy until the country proves that
it’s not pursuing a weapons capacity, officials said today.
Uranium fuel shipped by Russia will be loaded into the Bushehr reactor on Aug. 21, beginning a startup pro-cess that will last about a month and end with the reactor sending electricity to
Iranian cities, Russian and Iranian officials said.
“From that moment the Bushehr plant will be offi-cially considered a nuclear-energy installation,” Sergei Novikov, a spokesman for the Russian nuclear agency, told The Associated Press.
Russia signed a $1 bil-lion contract to build the Bushehr plant in 1995 but it has dragged its feet on com-pleting the project.
Moscow has cited techni-cal reasons for the delays, but analysts say Moscow has used the project to press
Iran to ease its defiance over its nuclear program.
Russian officials say, how-ever, that United Nations sanctions against Iran, including a new, more stringent set approved in

FISHERFUNERAL HOME
A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail today charged with embezzlement.
Mark Lamont Sease, 39, 501 Fairways Drive, is accused of taking $5,000 from Early Records II of the same address, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.
“It’s a family-owned busi-ness,” said Pace.
The theft was reported on July 16, and Sease’s name was listed on the National Crime Information Center database, Pace said.
“The business audit shows there may have been more than one incident of when the cash had been taken,” said Pace, adding the time period in which the money was taken is unclear.
Sease was arrested at 5 p.m. Thursday by agents from the Mississippi Gaming Commis-sion and security officers at a Vicksburg casino, Pace said.
Sease was being held with-out bond pending an initial appearance in court.
City teen heldin store burglary
A Vicksburg teen was in the Warren County Youth Detention Center charged with business burglary.
The 16-year-old boy is accused of taking 10 cartons of cigarettes and five boxes of cigars early Thursday morning from the J&B Vari-ety Store at 3512 N. Washing-ton St., Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.
The teen was arrested hours later at a home in the 20 block of Water Well Road, Stewart said.
The burglary was the fourth at the store in two months, but Stewart said this morning he did not know if the teen would be charged in the earlier crimes.
City man jailedafter drug found
A Vicksburg man was charged with possession of a schedule 2 narcotic without a prescription during a traf-fic stop on Halls Ferry Road at Waterways Experiment Station.
Matthew Duke, 27, 415 Lakewood Road, was charged with the felony after police found methadone in the vehicle during his arrest on an unrelated misdemeanor, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.
Duke was being held at the Warren County Jail without bond due to his having been out on bond on an earlier charge, Stewart said.
Stolen SUV foundthree weeks later
A stolen sports utility vehi-cle was found abandoned and out of gas Wednesday about a mile from where it had been reported stolen three weeks ago.
Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said a 1993 Ford Explorer had been reported stolen on July 24 in the 3200 block of Drummond Street.
It was found at Dot and Marcus streets in Marcus Bottom.
Three lawn mowerstaken in nearby blocks
Lawn mowers were miss-ing Thursday in three Vicks-burg residential burglaries, and police did not know this morning if they were related, said Lt. Bobby Stewart, chief of investigations.
At 6:15 p.m., a Lawn Boy push mower valued at $500 was reported stolen in the 1300 block of Baum Street.
Another Lawn Boy push
mower valued at $299 was reported stolen at 1:15 p.m. in the 2400 block of Cherry Street.
A 2000 Craftsman riding mower valued at $600 was reported stolen at 8:59 a.m. from the 2300 block of Drum-mond Street.
The three homes are within six blocks of each other, and the Cherry and Drummond addresses are within the Fos-toria neighborhood, where residents have met twice with police in two months about rising crime rates in the area.
Tool, phone, pursemissing from vehicles
Two auto burglaries were reported Thursday in the county and city.
About $20, a Samsung cell phone valued at $150 and a hacksaw valued at $13 were reported stolen from a 2010 Nissan Titan at 11 a.m. in the 5200 block of Jeff Davis Road, Warren County records show.
In Vicksburg, about $480 and a purse valued at $60 were reported stolen from a 2000 Cadillac DeVille at 6:57 a.m. in the 3000 block of Drummond Street.

Immigrant sues DHS over lost custodyBy Shelia ByrdThe Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi officials conspired to take the infant of an illegal immigrant from Mexico so the girl could be adopted by a white couple, a civil rights group charged Thursday in a federal lawsuit.
The Southern Poverty Law Center said Cirila Baltazar Cruz was separated from her daughter, Ruby, for a year before her child was returned to her in 2009 after the inter-vention of the group.
Cruz had the baby at Singing River Hospital in Pascagoula in November 2008. Two days after the child was born she was taken from her mother when the Mississippi Depart-ment of Human Services deemed Cruz unfit, according to the lawsuit.
Cruz — who spoke no Eng-lish and little Spanish and
could not read or write — was interviewed by a hospi-tal interpreter. The interpreter spoke Spanish, not Chatino, a dialect indigenous to Cruz’s native Oaxaca in rural Mexico, the group’s lawsuit alleges.
After talking with Cruz, the interpreter told one of the immigrant’s relatives that Cruz was trading sex for housing
and wanted to give the child up for adoption, according to the lawsuit. Cruz said in the court filing that she tried to explain to the interpreter she worked in a Chinese restaurant and lived in an apartment.
“When they tried to take my baby away I felt that I was done wrong, and I was very angry. It was a very painful experience for me and for my baby. This is why I want other people to know, because I don’t want anyone else to go through the same experience,” Cruz said in a statement released Thurs-day by the SPLC. Cruz is back in Mexico with her daughter.
The lawsuit, which names MDHS, Singing River Health System and others, seeks mon-etary damages and alleges the state officials conspired to deny Cruz and her child their constitutional rights to family integrity, said Mary Bauer, the law center’s legal director.
Decision expected today on oil well plugNEW ORLEANS — Offi-
cials could know by early today if BP’s broken oil well in the Gulf of Mexico has been sealed for good.
An analysis of tests on the well done Thursday was scheduled to be completed within 24 hours, letting the federal government and BP PLC know if work last month that was meant to be tem-porary had the unexpected effect of permanently plug-ging the gusher.
Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the Obama administration’s point man on the oil spill, sched-uled a news conference in Schriever, La., for 12:45 a.m. to give an update on the operation.
On Thursday, Allen said it’s possible that the long-discussed final fix, known as a “bottom kill,” won’t be necessary.
Corps experimentswith steeper levee
NEW ORLEANS — The Army Corps of Engineers plans to raise a section of the Mississippi River levee in Plaquemines Parish with a new technique that could help save residents’ land throughout the parish.
The Corps said it will use stabilized soil to build a steeper slope on 1,000 feet of river levee near Belle Chasse and still stay within the existing right of way. Typi-cally, when the Corps builds a levee, it needs to make the levee wider and that cuts into land adjacent to the levee. The technique has been used in Vicksburg and Memphis.
Edwards biographyhits 35,000 sales
ABBEVILLE, La. — Author Leo Honeycutt said he’s hap-pily surprised that sales of his biography of former Gov. Edwin Edwards have hit 35,000.
He told the Abbeville Rotarians that 10,000 copies
of “Edwin Edwards, the Autho-rized Biogra-phy” sold in the first two weeks after publication in December.
Abbev-ille Library
Director Charlotte Trosclair bought a copy for herself and got it autographed by Honey-cutt Wednesday. She said she never gets a chance to read the library’s copy because it’s always checked out.
Edwards, now 83, will be released from federal prison in Oakdale to a halfway house in January, and spend six months in the halfway house to complete his 10-year
sentence.He, his son and others were
convicted in 2000 of a shake-down in Louisiana’s river-boat casino licenses.
Skeletal remains ID’das son of La. judge
POPLARVILLE, Miss. — South Mississippi authori-
ties have identified skeletal remains found near Poplar-ville as being those of Rich-ard A. Swartz III, the 28-year-old son of a Louisiana judge.
Swartz, who lived in Jack-son, had been missing since July 27. The remains were found Sunday. He was the son of Richard Swartz Jr., a judge in St. Tammany Parish.
Chief Deputy Shane Tucker said 50-year-old Oscar K. Lindsey of Brandon has been charged with manslaughter.

ProgressGM on the road to private ownership
General Motors Co. is in the final stages of acquiring a $5 bil-lion line of credit that will assist it in a new stock offering by the end of the year, says CEO Edward Whitacre Jr., who is stepping down. If all goes well, the stock offering will reduce the federal government’s share in the firm to below 50 percent. That’s good news for both taxpayers and GM, which reported $1.4 billion in quarterly profits Thursday — its best showing since 2004.
The statement by Whitacre to The Detroit News was that the government’s share in the firm would fall from its current 61 percent to a minority holding is dependent on the government’s willingness to sell 11 percent of its equity in the first stock sale.
We hope that happens. It would be a major boost for GM and could help the firm’s market-ing. And it would help President Barack Obama make good on his
statement this spring that “I don’t want to run auto companies.”
Earlier this year, GM returned some of the funds it had been loaned by the government with other funds that it had been loaned by the government. Still, it got close to $6 billion back to the U.S. and Canadian treasuries five years earlier than scheduled.
The sooner GM can begin to divest itself of government finan-cial aid, the better. As an ana-lyst told The Detroit News, “It’s important from a financial stand-point but it’s also important from a PR standpoint.” That may well by why Whitacre told The News: “We want the government out. Period.”
Whitacre said the unpopular government bailout of the firm cost it sales. The government aid and “quick-rinse” bankruptcy was seen as necessary to assist the firm in getting back on its feet. And the aid and restructur-
ing that came with it appears to be paying off.
The company got in trouble for years of ratcheting up opera-tional costs to the point it could sell cars and trucks for the true cost of making them. It was a recipe for disaster, with lie piled upon lie.
While it may take additional stock offerings to complete the liquidation of the government’s holdings in the firm, the com-pany will have more credibility with potential auto buyers and more ability to be an autonomous player in the economy. Remain-ing economically independent and viable, of course, will require a more tough-minded manage-ment that is more willing to con-front militant union leaders.
But the firm appears to be on the road to independence. That’s the right direction.
WASHINGTON — The final state to ratify the 14th Amendment was Ohio — in September 2003. The Ohio Legislature had passed the amend-ment in 1867, but then rescinded its approval a year later, claiming it was “contrary to the best interests of the white race.” When Ohio finally rec-tified this embarrassing bit of his-tory, just one legislator — Republi-can state Rep. Tom Brinkman from Cincinnati — voted against it. His opposition was viewed as an isolated curiosity.
Now another Ohio politician, Rep. John Boehner, the House minority leader, questions the centerpiece commitment of the 14th Amendment: birthright citizenship. He is joined by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, along with Sens. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
The Amendment reads: “All per-sons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” This is not the only place in the Constitution where birth is deci-sive. Any “natural born citizen” who meets age and residency require-ments can be elected president.
Critics of birthright citizenship are
in revolt against the plain meaning of words. They sometimes assert that “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” must exclude illegal immigrants. It doesn’t. Undocumented immigrants and their children are fully subject to American laws. The idea of “jurisdic-tion” had a specific meaning in the congressional debate surrounding approval of the 14th Amendment. “The language was designed,” says historian Garrett Epps, “to exclude two and only two groups: (1) children of diplomats accredited to the United States and (2) members of Indian tribes who maintained quasi-sov-ereign status under federal Indian law.”
Advocates for bloodline citizenship respond: How could the authors of the 14th Amendment have intended
to extend citizenship to the chil-dren of illegal immigrants when, in 1868, America had no laws restrict-ing immigration and thus no ille-gal immigrants? This betrays a thin knowledge of history. In 1868, there were a variety of federal laws that restricted naturalization to whites and established waiting periods for citizenship.
Civil War America did not lack for unpopular immigrants. The 1860 census found that 13.2 percent of the U.S. population was foreign-born. The figure today is 12.3 percent. During the 14th Amendment debate, Sen. Edgar Cowan of Pennsylvania complained that birthright citizen-ship would include Gypsies, “who pay no taxes; who never perform mil-itary service; who do nothing, in fact,
which becomes the citizen.” Others objected that the children of Chinese laborers would be covered. Support-ers of the 14th Amendment conceded both cases — and defended them. Said Sen. John Conness of California: “We are entirely ready to accept the provision proposed in this constitu-tional amendment, that the children born here of Mongolian parents shall be declared by the Constitution of the United States to be entitled to civil rights and to equal protection before the law with others.”
The Radical Republicans who wrote the 14th Amendment were, in fact, quite radical. They were crit-ical, not just of the Confederacy’s view of citizenship, but of the Con-stitution’s original silence on the issue, which, in their view, betrayed the promise of the Declaration of Independence. Their main goal was expressed in birthright citizenship: To prevent a future majority from stealing the rights of children of any background, as long as they were born in America.
Today’s dispute over birthright cit-izenship reveals the immigration debate in its starkest form. Usually, opponents of illegal immigration speak of giving lawbreakers what they deserve. But this does not apply
in the case of an infant. Consider two newborn babies at, say, Parkland Hospital in Dallas. One is the child of citizens, the other of illegal immi-grants. Critics of birthright citizen-ship look at the child of immigrants and feel ... disturbed? Outraged? But why? Do they see a child somehow tainted by illegality? That hardly seems fair. A burden on resources? No more than any other poor child. An alien lacking allegiance? How could they possibly know? Why not a soldier, or an entrepreneur, or, as the Constitution specifically permits, a president?
For nearly a century and a half, Americans have taken the view that these two children at Parkland start their lives as equals. They acquire their rights, not because of their par-entage or their bloodline or the per-mission of politicians, but because they are born in the USA.
The radical, humane vision of the 14th Amendment can be put another way: No child born in America can be judged unworthy by John Boehner, because each is his equal.

Q: A friend of mine has been telling me about Internet banks. She claims they offer a higher interest rate on CDs. How safe are these Internet banks? Do you think it’s wise to get involved with a bank
online, or are they scams like every-thing else on the Internet regard-ing money?
How do I know if they are
legit? — S.T., via e-mailA: The biggest thing you
need to find out when dealing with an online bank is whether they are FDIC insured. A bank that is covered by FDIC insurance is perfectly legiti-mate and your money is safe-guarded. If you are looking to purchase a CD (whose rates are currently in the toilet) and they are offering a decent rate over your local bank’s and the lender is insured through the government, then your invest-ment of the CD is perfectly safe.

Fears remain in Michigan after stabbing arrestFLINT, Mich. — The arrest
of a suspect in a three-state stabbing spree that left five people dead and 13 others wounded has eased some but not all fears in Flint, where the attacks have changed the way some res-idents of one of Michigan’s toughest cities view helping others.
The Flint stabbings started in May, with the attacker approaching men on lonely roads at night and asking for directions or help with a bro-ken-down car. Then he would pull out a knife, plunge it into his victim and speed away.
Even if the assaults are over, at least some fear remains in Flint, the battered indus-trial city where most of the stabbings, including all five deaths, occurred.
Elias Abuelazam, 33, was arrested Wednesday night in Atlanta before a flight to Israel, his native country, and charged with attempted murder in a July 27 knife strike in Flint that put the victim in a hospital for a week. Authorities said more charges were expected in Michigan, Ohio and Virginia.
Lebanon TV stationsscrap Jesus show
BEIRUT — Two Shiite Muslim television stations in Lebanon have canceled a controversial program about Jesus. The outlets say they
don’t want to stir up sectarian conflict.
The 17-episode program describes Jesus from an Islamic point of view — Mus-lims believe Jesus was a prophet and a teacher, but not the son of God.
U.S. nabs militantsin Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan — U.S. and Afghan forces stepped up operations against a Taliban faction linked to al-Qaida, arresting several key figures in the network in raids in two eastern provinces, NATO reported today.
In the south, a member of the international coalition died today after an insurgent attack. NATO did not dis-close the service member’s nationality or details about the death.
Groups push to exploitTarget backlash
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Protes-tors have been rallying out-side Target Corp. or its stores almost daily since the retailer angered gay rights supporters and progressives by giving money to help a conservative Republican gubernatorial can-didate in Minnesota. Liberal groups are pushing to make an example of the company, hoping its woes will deter other businesses from put-ting their corporate funds into elections.
A national gay rights group is negotiating with Target offi-cials, demanding that the firm balance the scale by making comparable donations to ben-efit candidates it favors.
Turkey discoversancient tomb
ANKARA, Turkey — Police have raided a house used by people suspected of dig-ging illegally for antiquities and discovered two tunnels leading to an underground tomb that housed an ancient marble coffin and frescoes, officials said today.
Culture Minister Ertugrul Gunay described the discov-ery near the town of Milas, in western Turkey, as an “impor-tant archaeological find” and ordered digs in surrounding areas, Haber Turk newspaper reported.

Archive, which published the papers Wednesday, said the State Department cables suggest the U.S. government knew as early as 1970 about the death squads that were cracking down on violent left-ist insurgencies in the years before military dictatorships ousted democracies across much of South America.
Conjoined twinsdie in surgery
PHOENIX — Conjoined twins who won the support of Phoenix-area residents with their struggle for survival have died.
Emma and Taylor Bailey of the Queen Creek area died Tuesday at Seattle Children’s Hospital during an operation on their shared heart.
Family friend Ginni Chris-tiansen said Thursday that the girls had had the surgery twice before but this time an artery burst and doctors were unable to save them.
The girls had defied medi-cal expectations and would have turned 4 next month. They had been scheduled to undergo a risky operation to separate them later this year.

includes maps and directions and lists of “best known” spots, such as The Tomato Place, which are chosen to showcase the differences of each region, it said.
Besides its printed maps, long available at conven-ience stores and motorist rest stops, Rand McNally has branched out into interactive information sources for trav-
elers including truck routing software and GPS devices. The company said the 2011 atlas arrives in stores this month and retails for $13.95.
Scenes of The Tomato Place’s dining area were featured in the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau’s “The Key to the South” television ad cam-paign launched last year.
June, don’t directly prevent Moscow from going ahead with the Bushehr project. It has argued that the Bushehr project is essential for per-suading Iran to cooperate with the U.N. nuclear watch-dog and fulfill its obligations under international nuclear nonproliferation agreements.
Russian officials did not say why they had decided to move ahead with loading fuel into the Bushehr plant now.
The uranium fuel used by the Bushehr plant is enriched to a level too low to be used in a nuclear weapon. Iran is already producing uranium enriched to that level — about 3.5 percent — and has started a pilot pro-gram of enriching uranium to 20 percent. Iran claims it needs the 20 percent enriched uranium to produce
fuel for a medical research reactor, but the move has further heightened inter-national concerns about its nuclear program.
Uranium must be enriched to over 90 percent to be used in a nuclear warhead.
Iran’s semiofficial ISNA news agency quoted Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi, who is also the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, as saying that the country had invited Inter-national Atomic Energy Agency experts to watch the transfer of fuel, which was shipped about two years ago, into the Bushehr reactor.
“Fuel complexes are sealed (and being monitored by IAEA). Naturally, IAEA inspectors will be there to watch the unsealing,” ISNA quoted Salehi as saying.
Russia has said that the Bushehr project has been closely supervised by the U.N. nuclear watchdog, which declined comment today. It also says Iran has signed a pledge to ship all the spent uranium fuel from Bushehr back to Russia for reprocessing, excluding a possibility that any of it could used to make nuclear weapons.
Russia has walked a fine line on Iran for years. It is one of the six powers lead-ing international efforts to ensure Iran does not develop an atomic bomb. It has backed U.N. sanctions, but strongly criticized the U.S. and the European Union for following up with separate, even stronger sanctions.

The number of properties receiving an initial default

Wife describes quiet life with ‘Granddad Bandit’ suspectBATON ROUGE (AP) —
Patsy Mara doesn’t doubt the man the FBI calls the “Grand-dad Bandit,” suspected in a string of bank robberies across the country, is her husband. But the 61-year-old schoolteacher still has trou-ble reconciling the image of a holdup man who snatched money from two dozen banks with the gentle, loving hus-band she married just a year ago.
Michael Mara, 52, was arrested Wednesday after police and FBI agents acting on a tip surrounded their modest home in Baton Rouge. He sur-rendered peacefully after a nearly six-hour standoff.
“Did my husband who I was married to do that? Of course not. Did Michael Mara, the guy who walked out this door with police do it? Yes,” Patsy Mara said, sitting on her couch in the home she shared with the man she thought once worked as a paramedic and most recently for FEMA on
disaster recovery.Michael Mara wore his EMS
uniform, with the crisp white shirt and badge of a para-medic, on the couple’s wed-ding day in June 2009. Now Patsy isn’t sure if he ever was an emergency worker, or if he helped on the Sept. 11 cleanup as he claimed.
She doesn’t doubt, though, that it’s him in the surveillance photos the FBI says show him robbing banks around the country.
The Michael Mara she knew was smart and kindhearted, loved trips to New Orleans’ French Quarter and liked bologna sandwiches and mac-aroni-and-cheese dinners.
She said she knows nothing about the crimes he’s accused of, beyond what she’s now seen in TV newscasts. She said she never knew of his list of crimi-nal convictions in Virginia for grand larceny, forgery and breaking and entering, crimes dating back to 1981.
Michael Mara is suspected of
robbing 25 banks in 13 states, dating to a December 2008 holdup of SunTrust Bank in downtown Richmond, Va., authorities said.
According to court docu-ments, the FBI received a tip from someone who identified Michael Mara as the robber and gave authorities photo-
graphs to match to bank sur-veillance videos.
In the robberies, the sus-pect waited patiently in line and handed the teller a note demanding a specific amount of money. Sometimes, he made gestures indicating he had a weapon, although agents said there was no indication he ever used one.
The crimes began only months after Patsy and Michael met in a shelter set up for evacuees of Hurricane Gustav. Patsy Mara, who had been married twice before, said Michael showed up in a paramedic’s uniform as she was working at the shelter. Virginia records show he’d been released from prison four years earlier.
Shortly after they married, Patsy Mara said her husband claimed to get a job for FEMA, working on disaster recovery. He traveled constantly, up to four or five weeks at a time, but she said he described trips to places that made sense for
work, sites of floods or other disasters. He wore the black shirt and khaki uniform of a FEMA employee, and when he returned, he brought photos, giving credibility to the stories.
But court documents say Mara worked for a vehi-cle transportation company, giving him the ability to easily travel to other states. Earlier this year, Mara rented a car for 52 days and logged 9,669 miles, an affidavit says. During that time, three robberies in three different states were linked to the “Granddad Bandit.”
FBI agents said the nick-name “Granddad Bandit” was devised to help law enforce-ment and the public easily identify the suspect. How-ever, to Patsy Mara’s grand-children, Michael Mara was called “Grandpa Mike.”
He is scheduled to make his initial court appearance in Baton Rouge today.

Saints finish rough week with lossBy The Associated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A new season, a different result, a lot of improvement left for the Super Bowl cham-pions to make.
The New Orleans Saints gave up big plays and a deci-sive 28-yard field goal in the final minute as the New Eng-land Patriots opened their exhibition season with a 27-24 win Thursday night.
Last season’s title won’t help the Saints repeat.
“That’s been our mindset from the start,” linebacker Jonathan Vilma said. “We’ve got to prove ourselves all over again. We’ve got to keep working and improve on the little things.”
For the Patriots, it was a successful return to the field where their last game was a rout, a 33-14 loss to the Bal-timore Ravens in the first round of the playoffs.
That shouldn’t affect the coming season, either.
“It’s a new year. We’ve had 20 practices,” coach Bill Belichick said. “Whatever happened last year was last year.”
The Saints lost more than a game during their visit to
New England, which began Tuesday with two days of joint practices.
On Wednesday, No. 3 run-ning back Lynell Hamilton tore his right anterior cruci-ate ligament, an injury that likely will sideline him for the season. On the Saints’ first possession Thursday, punter Thomas Morstead hurt his left shoulder knock-ing Julian Edelman out of bounds after a 40-yard return and placekicker Garrett Hartley punted the rest of the night.
After the game, Morstead was walking with his arm in a sling. Coach Sean Payton
said X-rays were negative, and Morstead was due for an MRI in New Orleans today.
The Saints punted four times on their five first-half possessions and managed just a field goal on their last four of the game. Their final series ended with an inter-ception. And there were plenty of missed tackles.
“Too many sloppy things we’ve got to get corrected,” Payton said. “I know it’s the first week of preseason; still, a lot of things are disturbing. ... I think we’ll put the tape in and we’ll see it wasn’t just young players.”
On his first series since being voted Super Bowl MVP, Drew Brees threw an incompletion and was sacked
for a 10-yard loss. But on his third and final possession, he led a 20-play, 86-yard march that lasted 10:01 and ended with a 2-yard scoring run by Reggie Bush that cut New England’s lead to 10-7.
Brees completed 9 of 13 passes for 55 yards.
Tom Brady, a two-time Super Bowl MVP, played New England’s first two series and went 5-for-8 for 67 yards. In last year’s exhi-bition opener, he played for the first time since the 2008 regular-season opener, when a knee injury ended his season.
“This is all about establish-ing an attitude any time we step on the field,” New Eng-land tight end Alge Crum-pler said. “Regardless of who we play or what the cir-cumstances are, if we play together as a team good things will happen.”
Gostkowski kicked the win-ning 28-yard field goal with 53 seconds left after Dar-nell Jenkins caught a short pass from seventh-round draft pick Zac Robinson and turned it into a 52-yard gain. The Saints also allowed kick-

SIdElINESRussell admits positive codeine test
Free-agent quarterback JaMarcus Russell told ESPN in an interview that he tested positive for codeine after the Oakland Raiders selected him with the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft, but denied using it before his recent arrest for possession of the drug.
Russell also said he has used codeine without a prescription but scoffed at reports that he had a drug problem.
“I missed all of training camp, so I didn’t get tested when all the other guys got tested,” Russell said in a portion of the interview aired Thursday. “I had a pre-scription from a doctor, but it wasn’t the team doctor.”
The former LSU star said the Raiders came to him and asked him about his possible drug use early in his career.
“Around the time when I first got there or a year after I got there,” Russell said when asked when the Raiders confronted him. “(They) said they were gettin’ word in the streets about me using drugs. Then, one of the doctors came to me.”
The Raiders released Rus-sell in May, and he was ar-rested in July in a raid at his home in Mobile.
Russell was charged with possession of a controlled substance after police found a codeine bottle without a prescription in cabinet.
The full interview with Russell is scheduled to air on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” on Aug. 22.

alabama misspells‘Mississippi’ on football tickets
By The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama football has the national championship trophy and a newly ex-panded stadium that seats 101,000 people. Now, if it just had spellcheck.
Alabama tickets for the upcoming season include an embarrassing mistake: The university misspelled the word “Mississippi” on tickets for the Nov. 13 home game against Mis-sissippi State, using just one ‘p’ instead of two.
Alabama sports publicist Doug Walker said there was what he calls an “un-fortunate oversight” dur-ing the editing process.

Watson,Woodssmilingat PGABy The Associated Press
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — While other players waited out the fog delay on the driving range or putting green, Bubba Watson played games on his phone and threw things at Rickie Fowler while his good friend was trying to sleep.
There are, Watson knows all too well, more important things to get worked up about than a round of golf.
Even at a major champion-ship.
The fun-loving Watson earned a share of the early lead at the PGA Championship on Thurs-day, shooting a 4-under 68. Afterward, he choked up talking about the dif-ficult year his family has endured, with his father battling cancer and his wife having a scare of her own.
“It’s kind of emotional now,” Watson said, stop-ping several times to com-pose himself. “The first doctor told us the wrong diagnosis, but we didn’t know that at the time, so it was scary. Why do I want to go hit a golf ball around? So that’s where the emotions come from.”
It wasn’t all that long ago that Watson had a dif-ferent outlook on life. A fan favorite for his boom-ing tee shots and pink-shafted driver (his favor-ite colors are pink and lime green), he missed five straight cuts last summer, starting at the British Open. Usually good-natured, he found himself getting angry every time he stepped on the course.
Finally, his longtime caddie Ted Scott pulled him aside. Watson needed to take time off, quit, anything to change his attitude.
If not, Scott said, Watson could find a new caddie.
“There’s nothing outside the ropes that bothers me. But inside the ropes, I was letting everything bother me,” Watson said. “When he sat there as a good friend of mine and told me that he was going to quit because of my attitude, you’ve got to change it.”
Watson wasn’t the only one smiling after Thurs-day’s round. Tiger Woods shot a 1-under par 71 to sit three strokes back.
Woods made a brief appearance atop the lea-derboard after birdieing three of his first four holes. But he quickly gave way to co-leaders Watson and Francesco Molinari and needed a birdie on his last hole to stay in the red.
A long morning fog delay meant that only half of the 156-player field finished the first round before dark. Fog delayed the start of this morning’s second round, as well.

Coaches call on NFL to solve agent issueBy The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — A group of prominent college football coaches joined in a conference call with NFL commissioner Roger Good-ell, the NCAA and others to address problems with unscrupulous agents that have led to investigations at several schools this summer.
Alabama’s Nick Saban, a former Miami Dolphins head coach, said Thursday that he helped organize the call with coaches he “had a tremen-dous amount of respect for,” the NFL Players Associa-tion and a handful of athletic directors and agents.
Florida coach Urban Meyer, Ohio State’s Jim Tressel, Mack Brown of Texas and Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops also participated, the schools confirmed.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed that Good-ell was on the call, but had no further comment. NFLPA President Kevin Mawae also
participated.“We’re all
trying to put our heads together to figure out what we can do to level the playing field so that every-body that’s in the agent community — which some of them are very professional — have the same opportunity to recruit players and that the bootleg-gers out there are guys that get punished and penalized,” Saban said. “And that the players that deal with them are going to have some of the same consequences.”
The NCAA has been inves-tigating alleged improper agent contact involving play-ers at Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
Saban said he has tempo-rarily blocked access to Ala-bama’s practices for NFL scouts — a possibility he hinted at earlier this summer because of the agent issue. Saban said access would be reopened sometime after Aug. 25.
He said the decision wasn’t related to agents, but that he didn’t think it was fair for his players to be evaluated during two-a-day practices in triple-digit temperatures.
Saban has been one of the most outspoken advocates of finding ways to ensure that rule-breaking agents whose actions lead to punishment of players face penalties as well, including suspension of their license for a year or two.
Saban also suggested Thursday that players who have improper dealings with agents could have the conse-quences carry into their NFL careers, calling it “conduct detrimental” to both the col-lege and pro teams.

baseballReds, Cardinalsreceive suspensions
NEW YORK — Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto has been suspended for seven games for his actions during a brawl with the St. Louis Cardinals, and both manag-ers were suspended for two games.
Major League Baseball said Thursday that Cueto, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and Reds manager Dusty Baker also were fined undisclosed amounts.
Four other players were fined but not suspended — Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter and catcher Yadier Molina, and Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips and relief pitcher Russ Springer.
A release from Major League Baseball said all three suspensions are expected to begin today. Cueto could appeal, and the suspension would be delayed until the appeal is resolved. Managers can’t appeal suspensions, Yount said.
college sPorTsMcGarity pickedas new Georgia AD
ATLANTA — Georgia moved quickly to hire Damon Evans’ replacement as athletic director.
Florida associate athletic director Greg McGarity has been selected for the post, a person familiar with the search told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made.
McGarity, an Athens native and Georgia graduate, has worked at Florida since 1992. He was the senior executive assistant to ath-letic director Jeremy Foley, helping with the oversight of the school’s two biggest sports — football and men’s basketball.
Georgia needed only about five weeks to find a replacement for Evans, who resigned July 5 after an embarrassing late-night DUI arrest.

“We pretty much put the Super Bowl behind us,” Porter said. “We were rusty and have to execute better in all aspects of the game.”
M-Braves blast Biscuits in series opener, 12-2From staff reports
The Mississippi Braves started their latest homestand with an offensive exlposion.
The M-Braves collected 12 hits — nine of them in the fifth and sixth innings, when they scored 11 runs — and routed the Montgomery Biscuits 12-2 in the opener of a five-game series at Trustmark Park on Thursday night.
Tyler Pastornicky went 2-for-5 with three RBIs and two runs scored for the M-Braves, while Eric Duncan had three hits and a pair of RBIs.
The 12 runs is the most Mis-sissippi has scored since a 17-8 win over Carolina on June 10. They also beat Montgomery
for just the third time in 11 meetings this season.
The M-Braves scored four runs with two outs in the fifth inning to take a 4-1 lead, then blew the game open with a seven-run sixth. Pastornicky drove in two runs with a single in the sixth inning and Willie Cabrera followed with an RBI double. Eric Duncan then made it 10-1 with a two-run triple to right field, then
scored on Mauro Gomez’s sac-rifice fly.
Starter Julio Teheran (2-1) struck out six and allowed two runs in seven innings to earn his second victory of the season.
The M-Braves and Biscuits play game two of their series tonight at 7:05 at Trustmark Park. The M-Braves will be looking for back-to-back wins for the first time in a month.

Torn ACL could force Chipper to retireATLANTA (AP) — Chipper
Jones may have played his last game in the major leagues after tearing up his left knee while fielding a ground ball.
The Atlanta Braves said Thursday that the 38-year-old third baseman tore his ante-rior cruciate ligament and will need surgery. The esti-mated recovery time is six months, short enough to be ready for the next opening day — if Jones decides to return in 2011.
He had already said he would consider retirement after a season that’s now ended sooner than expected.
“I’m sure as the next couple of days go by, those are things we’ll discuss and he’ll discuss with his family,” his agent, BB Abbott, told The Associated Press. “It’s not something he’ll decide immediately. He’s going to need to hear everything about the injury and rehabili-tative process. He’ll probably make his decision from there. I can assure you it’s not some-thing that’s going to be a knee-jerk decision.”
Jones was hurt in Tuesday night’s game at Houston. He fielded a routine grounder by Hunter Pence, jumped in the air while making the throw to first, then collapsed to the ground for several minutes.
After an MRI exam, Jones met Thursday with the team doctor, Marvin Royster, who delivered the grim diagnosis
— and a major setback for the NL East leaders.
“Obviously, he’s very, very disappointed. I would almost describe it as numb,” Abbott said. “He knows this will be a big blow to the team. Obvi-ously, he has been going very well recently and felt like he was really contributing to the team’s success. This is real disappointing for him.”
Jones feared something was seriously wrong after he walked off the field gingerly under his own power.
“It’s hurt,” he said in Hous-ton. “I heard a distinct pop.”
The Braves were hopeful when the knee didn’t swell as much as normal after an ACL injury, especially when Jones was able to handle some rou-tine flexibility drills. But the MRI showed a partial tear, plus some stretching of the ligament, making it impossi-
ble for him to come back with-out surgery.
“We were cautiously opti-mistic,” general manager Frank Wren said. “When we got the news this morning, I was actually pretty shocked.”
Jones had bounced back from a slow start and was hitting .265 with 10 homers and 46 RBIs for a team that had a 2-game lead in the NL East on two-time defending league champion Philadelphia entering today’s games. The Braves will have to carry on with Omar Infante and Brooks Conrad sharing third base, though neither has Jones’ power.
Coming off a poor 2009 season, Jones got off to a mis-erable start this year and said in June that he was consid-ering retirement. A few days later, he backed off and said he would wait until after the season to make a decision. He had been playing much better since then, raising his average some 30 points and showing more power.
“There’s no denying the presence he had in the middle of our lineup,” Wren said. “When you think of the Atlanta Braves, the first guy you think of is Chipper Jones. His presence in our lineup has been increasing based on his performance the last couple of months. He was a force. So, yeah, we’re losing a lot.”

Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones sits alone in the dugout after a loss to the San Francisco Giants last week. The 38-year-old Jones tore his ACL in a game against the Houston Astros on Tuesday. He is out for the year, and may retire because of the injury.

The USDA, Rural Utilities Service has received an application for financial assistance from the Valley Park Water Association, Inc. The proposed project consists of the installation of one (1) 300 GPM water well, one (1) elevated 12,000 gallon tank, and a distribution system extensions to provide looped service. The area being served by the proposed additions are located in Issaquena, Sharkey and Warren Counties, MS.
As required by the National Environmental Policy Act and agency regulations, the Rural Utilities Service prepared an Environmental Assessment of the proposal that assessed the potential environmental effects of the proposal and the effect of the proposal may have on historic properties. The Environmental Assessment was published on June 29, 2010 for a 30-day public comment period. No comments were received. Upon consideration of the applicant’s proposal, federal and state environmental regulatory and natural resource agencies, and public input the agency has determined that the proposal will not have a significant effect on the human environment and for which an Environment Impact Statement will not be prepared. The basis of this determination is that the project will not cause any major impacts on the environment within the service area.

Boy killed in fire was aspiring actorA 14-year-old boy who was placed on life support after being
pulled from a burning San Fernando Valley home has died.Officials said Thursday that Eitan Djiji died Wednesday after-
noon.Djiji was featured in the 2009 comedy film “My Homework Ate
My Dog” and was due to attend the prestigious High School for the Performing Arts in Los Angeles this fall.
Djiji and his family were sleeping in their Sherman Oaks home when the fire began at dawn Tuesday. He was unconscious when firefighters found him in an upstairs bedroom. The family moved from New Zealand four years ago.

Dr. Laura apologizes for saying N-wordTalk radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger has issued an apology
for saying the N-word several times in an on-air conversation with a caller that she said was “hypersensitive” to racism.
Schlessinger said on her website Wednesday that she was wrong in using the word for what she called an attempt to make a philosophical point.
“I articulated the N-word all the way out — more than one time,” Schlessinger said in com-ments from the opening of her radio show that she posted on her site. “And that was wrong. I’ll say it again — that was wrong.”She said she “realized I had made a horrible
mistake, and was so upset, I could not finish the show.”
Schlessinger said she pulled herself off the air at the end of the hour.

P.U.! Utility adds rotten egg smell to billsPaying bills usually stinks, but gas bills from a utility in Wash-
ington state will include something truly odorous this month: the stench of rotten eggs.
As part of a safety campaign, Puget Sound Energy is including a scratch-and-sniff pamphlet with its billing statements to re-mind customers of what leaking gas smells like.
Natural gas is odorless, but providers add a chemical to the gas that has a distinctive, sulfur-like aroma similar to rotten eggs so leaks can be detected.

Dr. Wallace: Richard and I have been dating for about two months. He’s a sweet guy, but he does have one habit that bugs me. Both of us are in school. Often during rehearsals, he will hug and kiss some of the other female cast members. He does this when I’m around and, I’m told, when I’m not around. He thinks he is a “party” boy.
When I question him about this flirty behavior, he says that kissing on the set is “Hollywood” and doesn’t mean anything. I really like this guy, but I don’t like the fact that he thinks a kiss doesn’t mean anything. It means a lot to me, and I don’t want him sharing kisses with any of the cast members except me. — Evie, Lynn, Mass.
Evie: Richard’s self-esteem is probably low and flirting gives him a macho feeling — it makes him feel that he is more desir-able to females. Remind “Lover Boy” that Lynn, Mass., is thou-sands of miles from “Hollywood.” And if he doesn’t change his ways immediately, the curtain is about to drop on this melodra-ma, and once it does, “The party’s over.”

Dog owners ignore warnings of girl’s allergyDear Abby: My 6-year-old
daughter, “Meg,” has severe eczema. She’s highly allergic to a long list of things, includ-ing dogs. Recently, at a basket-ball court and at an outdoor restaurant, we encountered some dog owners who refused to pull their dogs back after I informed them about her allergy. Both said, “It’s a public place!” as if my daugh-ter should not be in public. One man even argued that my child “couldn’t possibly” be allergic to his poodle.
I take my children out in public often, and I never allow them to touch other people. Why can’t dog owners under-stand the concept? Other than avoiding public areas that are dog friendly, and pulling my daughter away whenever she’s touched by a dog, what can I do? — Mom Knows Best, Irvine, Calif.
Dear Mom: The idea that dog owners would fail to pull their animals back after being
told someone was highly allergic shocks me. However, because you can’t make every-one behave responsibly, you will have to “dog proof” your daughter.
At 6, she’s old enough to understand the reason she’s broken out and itching is because she came in con-tact with one of the things to which she is allergic. Teach her to stay out of reach and to announce loudly, “Please hold your dog back! I’m allergic!” when the situation calls for it. And if you are with her and see someone with an animal approach, YOU should take the initiative and say emphat-ically, “My daughter is highly allergic to dogs. PLEASE keep

DEAR ABBY
Readers offer helpto neuropathy sufferers
Dear Dr. Gott: Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy due to numbness on the bottoms of both feet. My podiatrist made the diagnosis. Because I was not a diabetic or an alcoholic, he diagnosed idiopathic PN. I was 75 at the time. He wanted to do muscle tests, which I turned down in favor of a second opin-ion at the local Mayo Clinic. Their tests showed the neu-ropathy to be present, and they suggested I take 600 mil-ligrams per day of alpha-lipoic acid from my health-food store and exercise.
My neurologist prescribed 10 milligrams of baclofen for the few leg cramps I was get-ting at night. I declined after hearing the side effects from my pharmacist. Because the weather was hot, I decided to try a high-carb sports drink, which took away the cramps until the weather changed.
I have always been a heavy user of Vicks VapoRub, so I began massaging it onto both feet. My chiropractor also sug-gested 1/8th teaspoon of cream of tartar mixed with water at night.
Seven years later, I have a little numbness in spots but no pain and only cramps at night when my feet get cold. I also take 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 along with the alpha-lipoic acid per day.
Dear Reader: Many people experience cramping of the feet and calves after exercising or profuse sweating because the body’s electrolyte balance is disturbed. Sports drinks can help bring this back into balance.
Now, on to your periph-eral neuropathy. This condi-tion is caused by damage to the peripheral nerves in the feet, legs, hands and/or arms. Causes can be untreated or poorly controlled diabetes, chemotherapy or radiation side effects, improper diet or injury.
Common treatment includes prescription nerve blockers such as gabapentin. Another treatment that has received a lot of positive review is Ano-dyne therapy. Home reme-dies range from topical men-tholated chest rubs to dietary vitamin and mineral supple-ments and topical ointments containing capsaicin. Massage may also be beneficial since it aids circulation.
The cream-of-tartar remedy offered by your chiropractor is new to me, but if it works for you, stick with it. I cannot think of any harm it could do, especially given the minimal amount used.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an anti-oxidant made by the body and is present in every cell.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPEBY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — The best way to make certain a joint endeavor will be success-ful is to make sure the work-load is equally distributed. Once done, each contributor must focus solely on doing his/her part.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your mental faculties are ex-tra sharp right now, so you shouldn’t have any trouble handling whatever assign-ments are thrown at you. Con-centrate on using your logic and keen imagination.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Pals know you understand how to gather the right peo-ple together to have a good time. Whether you want to or not, you’ve been chosen to ar-range the social activities.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Even if you have to put aside your social plans for the mo-ment, finalize the serious mat-ter that’s hanging fire so that it doesn’t become critical and cause all kinds of problems.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Make an effort to get in touch with the friend who has been on your mind lately.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Pay heed to your instincts, especially if you are engaged in something important, such as negotiating a delicate mat-ter. Primal insight can give you a definite edge.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A personal interest can be advanced, but only if you are able to operate independent-ly, free from all outside inter-ference. You need plenty of time and space in order to do your own thing.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Something in which you’re interested has a greater array of ancillary benefits than you ever thought possible. You might begin to see things in a new light that’ll help you see them.Aries (March 21-April 19) — The impression you make en-courages others to look at you in a new light and appreciate some of your wonderful quali-
ties that previously went un-noticed. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — You’ll get a lot further if you find a way to pursue your ob-jectives as unobtrusively as possible. When you screen your work and intentions from others, you’re free to be more effective.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — The probabilities for success
would be enhanced if you test your ideas out as rapidly as you conceive them.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Logic, not forceful-ness, is what can make your achievements come easier for you. When trying to make something happen, use your head, not your muscles or your mouth.
