SITE INTELLIGENCE GROUP | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THIS STILL IMAGE MADE from video released by Islamic State group militants and posted on the website of the SITE Intelligence Group on Tuesday purportedly shows Jordanian pilot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh standing in a cage just before being

Country executes two prisoners after Jordanian pilot burned alive
BY OMAR AKOUR

AMMAN, Jordan — A
Jordanian government
spokesman says Jordan
has executed two prisoners, including a would-be
female suicide bomber
from al-Qaida.
Th e exe c ut i o n s a t
dawn Wednesday came
just hours after Islamic
State militants released
a video that purportedly
showed a captured Jordanian fighter pilot being
burned alive in a cage.
Jordan vowed a swift
and lethal response.
Government spokesman
Mohammed al-Momani
said that two prisoners,

Jordan, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob
Corker, R-Tenn., and Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., meet Tuesday
at the Capitol in Washington.
Sajida al-Rishawi and
Ziad al-Karbouli, were
executed early Wednesday.
Al-Rishawi has been on
death row for her role in a
triple hotel bombing in the
Jordanian capital Amman
in 2005 that killed dozens.
Her suicide belt did not
detonate at the time and
she fled the scene, but was
quickly arrested. After a
televised confession, she
recanted, but her appeal
was turned down.
Al-Rishawi has family
ties to the Iraqi branch of
al-Qaida, a precursor of
the Islamic State group.
Over the past week, Jordan had twice offered to
swap her for the pilot,
Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh.
However, officials have
said his captors did not
deliver proof he was still
alive, and the swap never
moved forward.

Coke unveils milk with more protein, less sugar

NEW YORK — Coke is coming out

CLINTON — A contractor has started work

bridge in East Tennessee.
The state ordered the
bridge on Johnson Gap
Road in Anderson County immediately closed in
July 2013 because it was
so unsafe.
CSX Railroad owns
the bridge and hired the
contractor. The railroad
earlier wanted to give
the county ownership of
the bridge, provided the
county agree to raze it
and replace it with a concrete structure.
Instead, the railroad’s
contractor will fix the
span, and the railroad
will continue responsibility for maintenance.

Beer, dogs and charity
all converged last Saturday as the Casual Pint in
Maryville hosted a German Beer Dinner charity
fundraiser for Wilderwood Service Dogs.
A nonprofit organization that specializes in
training dogs to help
those with neurological
diseases, the Wilderwood
charity also benefited
from contributions by
local businesses Restaurant Linderhof, Rothchild
Catering and KupKatie’s
KupKakes.
For Wilderwood founder and director Tiffany
Denyer, the event comes
as a much-needed buoy
to help raise the funds
necessary to train her
dogs. Providing aid for
conditions ranging from
Alzheimer’s to autism,
Wilderwood is the only
organization in the
nation to specialize in
specifically training service dogs to benefit individuals with neurological
diseases.
In her line of work,
Denyer experiences firsthand the benefits dogs
can create for those suffering from neurological
disease.
“We’ve seen nonverbal children start talking with their dogs for
the first time,” Denyer
said of the animals, noting that their dogs are
also trained to provide
a calming presence for
troubled post-traumatic
stress syndrome patients
and to be alarms for
Alzheimer’s patients in
dangerous situations.
Growing up in family
that owned and trained
Brittany Spaniels, Denyer feels thankful for the
chance to combine her
passion for healing with
immense love of animals.

love and respect of what
a quality dog can do and

BY ERIK SCHELZIG
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE — House
Speaker Beth Harwell
said Tuesday that she has
offered to have her committee chairmen draw up an
alternate proposal for Gov.
Bill Haslam if his Insure
Tennessee plan appears to
be headed for defeat in the
ongoing special legislative
session.
Harwell told a conference
organized by the National
Federation of Independent
Business and the Tennessee
Grocers and Convenience
Store Association that it’s
not yet clear whether the
governor’s proposal to
extend health coverage to
280,000 low-income Tennesseans will gain enough
votes to support.
Harwell said her colleagues are not yet convinced that the governor’s
proposal to require co-pays,
incentives for healthy lifestyles and revisions to the
way medical procedures
are reimbursed to hospitals
will reverse the Medicaid
drain on state finances.
“Whether you view that
as enough to reduce costs
is a real issue the General Assembly is struggling
with right now, and there
are plenty of people who
don’t believe that would
significantly reduce costs,”
she said.
One problem facing lawmakers is that the governor’s measure faces an
up-or-down vote without
a chance for lawmakers to
make adjustments to make
them more comfortable with
the deal Haslam negotiated
with federal government.
“I think that I have offered
to the governor — and I
think he’ll know better by

HOUSE SPEAKER BETH HARWELL, R-Nashville, speaks at a joint
conference of the state chapter of the National Federation of
Independent Business and the Tennessee Grocers and Convenience Store Association Tuesday in Nashville.
(today) whether he wants
this — is to let our committee chairmen issue a report
to say, ‘We’d like to see the
following things and offer
them back to you.’
“And then he can go back
and renegotiate with the
federal government,” she
said.
House Republican leader Gerald McCormick of
Chattanooga said earlier
in the day that Haslam’s
proposal would pass comfortably in a full floor vote,
but faces an uphill battle in
legislative committees.
An overflow crowd of
supporters and opponents
jammed into hearing room
and hallways of the legislative office complex as lawmakers took up the pro-
posal for the first time in
the special session.
“It’s important to note
what this resolution does
not do: It does not implement Obamacare in Tennessee,” McCormick said. “If
the governor had wanted to
do that, he could have done
that in 2013 very quickly
without any debate.”
Instead, McCormick
said, the governor spent 21
months negotiating a special deal for Tennessee that
includes market-based elements like vouchers to buy
private insurance, co-pays
and assurances that the state
could pull out of the deal if it
ends up being more expensive than expected.
Hospitals have pledged to
cover the $74 million state
share, meaning taxpayers
wouldn’t be on the hook to
pay for extra health insurance costs. Craig Becker,
president of the Tennessee
Hospital Association, said the
Medicaid expansion would
help make up for $7.8 billion
in cuts that state hospitals are
facing over a decade.
the
consideration for five years.
Heritage High will honor individuals
who have:

Continuing to grow
Bourbon, Tennessee whiskey sales up in US
BY JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
BY BRUCE SCHREINER
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Producers of Kentucky bourbon and Tennessee whiskey scored another round
of U.S. sales growth in 2014,
while exports topped $1 billion for the second straight
year, a distilled spirits trade
group said Tuesday.
Mixed together, U.S. revenues for bourbon and Tennessee whiskey rose by 9.6
percent to $2.7 billion last
year, the Distilled Spirits
Council said. Domestic
volume shot up 7.4 percent to 19.4 million cases,
it said.
The revenue and volume
gains last year were similar
to increases the category
registered in 2013.
“Consumers in the U.S.
and around the globe are
increasingly enjoying
bourbon and Tennessee
whiskey because of their
distinctive flavor profiles
and authentic American
heritage,” said the council’s chief economist, David
Ozgo.
The domestic numbers
reflect sales from producers or suppliers to wholesalers.
MORE GOOD NEWS
In another good sign for
producers’ bottom lines,
the category’s super premium products notched
19.2 percent gains in both
revenues and volumes —
by far the biggest increases across price spectrums.
Super premium products
age longer and fetch higher
prices.
Industrywide, supplier
sales for the U.S. distilled
spirits industry were up
4 percent to $23.1 billion
last year, the council said.
Total U.S. volume growth
increased 2.2 percent to 210
million cases, it said.
ERIK SCHELZIG | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A DIAGEO EMPLOYEE WALKS BY barrels of whiskey stored in a new warehouse on Aug. 14 at the
George Dickel distillery near Tullahoma.
Irish Whiskey and Single
Malt Scotch continued their
rapid growth with volume
growth of 9.1 percent and
6.4 percent, respectively,
the council said. Cognac
volumes shot up 11.4 percent, while tequila volumes
rose 5 percent. Overall vodka volumes went up 1.6 percent.
The comeback of the cocktail culture along with the
popularity of flavored whiskeys and premium products
drove the growth, officials
said.
“Consumer interest in
industry innovations and
premium products from
distilled spirits producers of all sizes contributed
to another year of steady
growth in 2014,” said council President and CEO Peter
H. Cressy.
The industry lumps bourbon and Tennessee whiskey
into one category. Both are
produced in the same way
and with similar ingredients. The main difference is
that Jack Daniel’s and other Tennessee whiskeys are
charcoal mellowed before
going into the barrel to age,
while bourbon isn’t.
OVERSEAS DEMAND
Kentucky produces 95
percent of the world’s bourbon supply, according to
the Kentucky Distillers’
Association. More than 5.3
million barrels of bourbon
are maturing in Kentucky,
outnumbering the state’s
population.
Meanwhile, demand for
bourbon and Tennessee
whiskey remained strong
with overseas drinkers,
with exports projected to
top $1.02 billion for 2014,
the council said.
Those exports surpassed
$1 billion for the first time
in 2013, it said.
The latest sales figures
underscore Kentucky
bourbon’s emergence as a
“global force” and one of
the state’s “most prized economic engines,” said Eric
Gregory, president of the
Kentucky Distillers’ Association.

NISSAN’S
REASONING
“Nissan has declined to
participate in mediation
proceedings because longestablished guidelines
for bringing a union vote
already exist as set forth by
the National Labor Relations Board,” Saia wrote.
The union appealed to
the State Department as
the American contact
point for the multinational
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The organization
has a code of conduct for
multinational corporations.
It’s the latest move in
an ongoing struggle by
the UAW to unionize the
plant’s 6,000 workers. No
petition for a union election has been filed, but the
CORE PRINCIPLES
The automaker says
respecting national laws is
one of its core principles.
“Nissan respects labor
laws in every nation where
it operates and works to
ensure that all employees are aware of these
laws, understand their
rights, enjoy the freedom
to express their opinions
and have the ability to
select whether they wish
to have external representation or self-represent,”
Saia wrote.
The State Department
wrote that it “determined
that the issues raised by
UAW/IndustriALL are
material and substantiated
and merit further examination,” but also said that
if Nissan had chosen to
mediate, that shouldn’t
be taken as an admission
of guilt.
Nissan said the allegations were based solely on
a UAW report.
The State Department
recommended that Nissan conduct a companywide review of labor rights
and that it consider some
kind of mediation with
unions.

JACKSON, Miss. — Nissan Motor Co. has declined
U.S. State Department
mediation of its dispute
with the United Autoworkers over the union’s
attempts to organize a
Mississippi plant.
The UAW says Nissan
is intimidating workers
at its Canton plant and
violating their rights to
unionize under international laws.
The UAW and the IndustriALL Global Union federation asked the State
Department for mediation
in April. That mediation
could only happen if Nissan agreed, and the State
Department announced
Jan. 30 that the company had refused, saying it
“regrets Nissan’s unwillingness to participate in
the process.”
Justin Saia, a spokesman
for the Japanese automaker, said Nissan prefers to
rely on U.S. laws covering
unionization.
UAW has been mounting
an international campaign,
in part because most nonAmerican facilities of Nissan and its allied company
Renault are unionized.
“It is clear Nissan behaves
one way in some parts of
the world but is grossly
exploiting workers in the
United States,” UAW President Dennis Williams said
in a statement. “The fact
that the company continues to ignore the severity of the situation and
its refusal to end these
abuses or engage in dialogue that could result in
a positive step forward for
both workers and the company is absolutely unreasonable.”

Train crashes into SUV stuck on tracks; six die
BY KILEY ARMSTRONG
The Associated Press
VALHALLA, N.Y. — A commuter train slammed into a sport
utility vehicle stuck on the tracks
at a crossing Tuesday evening,
killing 6 people, mostly on the
train, and injuring at least a dozen others, authorities said.
The northbound Metro-North
Railroad train struck a Jeep Cherokee at a crossing in Valhalla, about
20 miles north of New York City,
railroad spokesman Aaron Donovan said. Killed were the SUV’s
driver and five people aboard the
train, he said, making this crash
the railroad’s deadliest.
The railroad crossing gates had
come down on top of the SUV,
which was stopped on the tracks,
the spokesman said. The driver
got out to look at the rear of the
vehicle, then she got back in and
drove forward and was struck,
he said.
The train shoved the SUV about
10 train car lengths, and the SUV
and the front of the train caught
fire, he said. Smoke poured out
of the scorched front rail car, its
windows blackened.
Passengers described a bump
and said they smelled gasoline
from the vehicle.
More than 750 passengers likely
were aboard the train, including
Justin Kaback, commuting home
to Danbury, Connecticut.
“I was trapped. You know there
was people in front of me and
behind me, and I was trapped
in the middle of a car and it was
getting very hot,” he told ABC
News. “All the air was turned off
so there was no circulation so it
was definitely scary especially
when people are walking by on
the outside and they said, ‘The
train’s on fire. There’s a fire.”’
Passenger Stacey Eisner, who
was at the rear of the train, told
NBC News that she felt the train
“jerk” and then a conductor
walked through the train explaining what had happened. She said
her train car was evacuated about
10 minutes later using ladders to
get people out.
The other rail passengers were
moved to the rear of the train,
which had left Grand Central
Terminal in Manhattan about
45 minutes earlier.
Passengers got off from the rear.
About 400 of them were taken
to a local rock climbing gym for
shelter. Buses were heading there
to pick them up and take them
to their destinations.
Metro-North is the nation’s second-busiest railroad, after the Long
Island Rail Road. It was formed in
1983 and serves about 280,000 riders a day in New York and Connecticut. Service on its Harlem
Line was suspended between
Pleasantville and North White
Plains after the crash.
Metro-North has been criticized severely for accidents over
the last couple of years. Late last
year, the National Transportation Safety Board issued rulings
on five accidents that occurred
in New York and Connecticut in
2013 and 2014, repeatedly finding fault with the railroad while
also noting that conditions have
improved.
Among the accidents was a
Dec. 1, 2013, derailment that
killed four people, the railroad’s first passenger fatalities,
in the Bronx. The NTSB said
the engineer had fallen asleep
at the controls because he had
a severe, undiagnosed case of
sleep apnea.

TOM SHERLIN | THE DAILY TIMES
RURAL/METRO AMBULANCE WORKERS LOAD an accident victim into Lifestar helicopter for transport to the hospital in this file photo
from 2014. Rural/Metro holds the current Blount County contract, which expires June 30.
AMBULANCE: Bids on RFPs will be opened on March 3
FROM 1A
to any resident of Blount
County based on their ability to pay.
Bids will be opened
March 3. Meanwhile, the
county will investigate
where it makes sense to
run its own ambulance
service.
“We will be putting together a committee that will be
made up of members of
emergency service providers in the county,” County
Mayor Ed Mitchell said.
According to the RFP,
“Contractor acknowledges that Blount County shall
initiate a study on the feasibility of a county-owned
ambulance service. When
this action is taken and if
the county decides that a
county-owned service is the
most advantageous method
of providing services to the
citizens of Blount County,
the county shall depend
on the contractor to continue provision of all services required under this
contract until the county
is prepared to provide its
own service. “During that
period, the current contractor shall continue operations at the same level of
effort and performance as
were in effect prior to the
decision.
“Contractor shall be prohibited from making any
changes in contractor’s
methods of operation
which could reasonably
be considered to be aimed
at cutting costs to maximize profits during the
final stages of the contract.
Failure to comply with this
section shall result in forfeiture of contractor’s performance bond.”
According to the proposal, the EMS provider cannot
raise rates for the first two
years of the contract. After
that period, the company
can request rate increases
every year the contract is
up for renewal.
Rural/Metro does charge
the county to transport
inmates for medical issues,
but those rates were not
available Tuesday.
JORDAN: Obama says video shows ‘viciousness’ of ISIS
FROM 1A
that al-Kaseasbeah was
already killed on Jan. 3.
Al-Kaseasbeh had fallen into the hands of the
militants in December
when his F-16 crashed near
Raqqa, Syria, the de facto
capital of the group’s selfstyled caliphate. He is the
only coalition pilot to be
captured to date.
The killing of the 26-yearold pilot appeared aimed at
pressuring the government
of Jordan — a close U.S.
ally — to leave the coalition that has carried out
months of airstrikes targeting Islamic State positions in Syria and Iraq. But
the extremists’ brutality
against a fellow Muslim
could backfire and galvanize other Sunni Muslims in the region against
them.
King Abdullah II, who has
portrayed the campaign
against the extremists as
a battle over values, was
in Washington on a previously scheduled trip. He
added a stop at the White
House with President
Barack Obama.
The monarch broadcast
a speech on Jordanian TV
on Tuesday evening, confirming the pilot’s death
“with sorrow and anger,”
and urging his countrymen
to unite.
‘STAND UNITED’
“It’s the duty of all of us
to stand united and show
the real values of Jordanians in the face of these
hardships,” Abdullah said.
The official Petra news
agency said he would be
cutting short his Washington trip.
Obama said the Islamic State group’s video, if
authentic, showed “the
viciousness and barbarity
of this organization.”
“And it, I think, will
redouble the vigilance
and determination on the
part of a global coalition
to make sure that they are
degraded and ultimately
defeated,” he told reporters during an event at the
White House.
Obama later issued a
statement offering condolences, saying the pilot’s
“dedication, courage, and
service to his country and
family represent universal
human values that stand in
opposition to the cowardice and depravity of ISIL,
which has been so broadly
rejected around the globe.”
The Islamic State group
is known variously by the
acronyms ISIL, ISIS and,
in Arabic, Daesh.
Dozens of people chanting
slogans against the Islamic State marched toward
the royal palace to express
their anger. Waving a Jordanian flag, they chanted,
“Damn you, Daesh!” and
“We will avenge, we will
avenge our son’s blood.”
Jordanian officials said
the country would response
swiftly and decisively.
“Our punishment and
revenge will be as huge as
the loss of the Jordanians,”
said the spokesman of the
armed forces, Mamdouh
al-Ameri.
The 20-minute video
purportedly showing the
pilot’s killing was released
on militant websites and
bore the logo of the extremist group’s al-Furqan media
service. The clip featured
the slick production and
graphics used in previous
Islamic State videos.
The pilot showed signs of
having been beaten, including a black eye. Toward the
end of the video, he was
shown wearing an orange
jumpsuit. He stood in an
outdoor cage as a masked
militant ignited a line of
fuel leading to it.
VIDEO THREATENS
OTHER PILOTS
The video, which could
not immediately be conf irmed independently
by The Associated Press,
threatened other purported
Jordanian pilots by name.
It emerged three days
after Japanese journalist
Kenji Goto was purportedly beheaded by the militants. The fate of the jour-
nalist and the pilot had been
linked by their captors.
Al-Kaseasbeh is from a
tribal area in southern Jordan’s Karak district. The
tribes are considered a
mainstay of support for the
monarchy, but the pilot’s
capture has strained that
relationship. Members
of the pilot’s family have
repeatedly accused the
government of botching
efforts to win his release
and have also criticized
Jordan’s participation in
the anti-IS alliance.
The pilot’s father, Safi
Yousef al-Kaseasbeh, was
attending a tribal meeting
in Amman when news of
the video surfaced, and he
was seen being led from
the session. Other men
were seen outside, overcome with emotion.
Late on Tuesday, as word
spread of his death, protesters marched in his
home village of Ai and set
a local government office
on fire. Witnesses said the
atmosphere was tense and
that riot police were patrolling the streets.
made. Filters are used to
separate the various components in milk. Then,
more of the favorable
components are added,
while the less desirable
ones are kept out.
The result is a drink that
Fairlife says is lactose free
and has 50 percent more
protein, 30 percent more
calcium and 50 percent
less sugar than regular
milk.
The same process is
used make Fairlife’s Core
Power, a drink marketed
to athletes that has even
more protein and calcium
than Fairlife milk.
Sue McCloskey, who
developed the system
used to make Fairlife
with her husband Mike
McCloskey, said Fairlife
will be marketed more
broadly to women who
are the “gatekeepers” for
their families’ nutritional
needs.
Even while touting its
nutritional advantages,
however, Fairlife will need
to be careful about communicating how its drink
is made. Jonas Feliciano,
senior beverage analyst
for market researcher Euromonitor, noted
people want drinks that
“do something for me,”
but that Fairlife’s juicedup nutritional stats may
make people hesitant
about how natural it is.
“They have to explain
that this is not an abomination of nature,” Feliciano said.
COLBERT POKES FUN
Already, Fairlife has been
subject to some teasing.
After the drink was referenced in Coke’s analyst
presentation, comedian
Stephen Colbert referred
to it as “extra expensive
science milk” and made
fun of the elaborate way
it’s made.
“It’s like they got Frankenstein to lactate,” he
said.
Colbert also took a dig
at the wholesome image
Fairlife is trying to project,
noting that it’s made by
the “nature loving health
nuts at Coca-Cola.” That
may explain why CocaCola is distancing itself
from the product; a representative for the Atlantabased company referred
questions to Fairlife’s outside representative.
In a phone interview,
Fairlife CEO and former
Coke executive Steve
Jones said he thinks his
company can help reverse
the ongoing decline
in milk consumption
by offering a superior
product. Major retailers
including Wal-Mart, Target, Kroger and Safeway
have agreed to carry it
and Coca-Cola’s Minute
Maid team plans to make
it available wherever milk
is sold.
The drink, which comes
in a sleek plastic bottle
reminiscent of milk cartons, has already started
appearing on shelves and
is expected to continue
rolling out nationally over
the next several weeks.
At a supermarket in
Indianapolis, a 52-ounce
bottle of Fairlife was being
sold for $4.59. By comparison, the national average
cost for a half-gallon of
milk, which is 64 ounces,
is $2.18, according to the
USDA. For organic milk,
the average is $3.99.
Fairlife is just one of
many ventures by CocaCola, which also recently took stakes in energy
drink maker Monster Beverages and Keurig Green
Mountain, which makes
single-serving coffee
machines and pods.

OUR VOICE
America’s top lunch
lady serves MHS
and her community
A
merica’s No. 1 lunch lady serves Maryville High
School — and beyond.
Cathy Potter, who works at the MHS cafeteria, is a
winner of the School Nutrition Foundation’s 2015 School
Nutrition Hero award.
Potter’s not the only winner. Five winners were selected
from nominees from across the nation. Four had administrative titles: director of food
services, director of nutrition
services, district chief and
food service director.
Only one winner works with
spoons on the line. Only one
holds the title cafeteria server/
helper. Only Potter is cafeteria
lady extraordinaire.
The School Nutrition Hero
award goes to individuals
who’ve dedicated their lives to expanding access to healthy
school meals and serving the needs of their community. No
doubt about it, Potter does that.
Her heart — “I can’t stand the idea of kids going without
food” — led her to become director of the summer food
program. Maryville City Schools served 1,000 to 1,200 children per day last year. Including breakfast and supper, on
some days the district served close to 3,000 meals.
Cathy Potter’s commitment takes her beyond the school
cafeteria. She founded Heaven Sent Homes, a temporary, emergency shelter for women and children who are
abused and/or misplaced. The nonprofit opened a shelter
for women and children in January 2003 and opened a separate shelter for men at a different location three months
later.
The shelters give residents a clean and safe home where
they learn independent living skills and receive counseling. Heaven Sent Homes receives no public funding, but
several churches support the program that is based on
operation Christian principles. Potter also coordinates holiday dinners for the needy, creates meal programs for the
shelters and spearheads gift collecting and fundraising to
support disadvantaged families — and more.
We can only hope Potter’s recognition helps lift the
affectionate title of lunch lady to the appreciated status
it deserves. Award-winning children’s book author Jerrett Krosoczka would agree. He writes the popular “Lunch
Lady” series of graphic novels that raises a cafeteria worker to superhero status. Undercover, she fights crime using
kitchen utensils and is acclaimed for “Serving Justice!
Serving Lunch!”
Potter knows about serving. She lives it: “My entire life
revolves around service. It makes me happy, filling my
heart with joy because I know I’m helping others. I’m
doing what I’m supposed to be doing.”
Doing it with affection, with nutrition, with taste — fighting hunger wherever she finds it.
Cathy Potter’s
commitment takes
her beyond the
school cafeteria.

Teaching the smallest
I
t was disheartening to learn recently that half of Kentucky kindergartners began school last fall without basic
skills they need to succeed.
That means 4- and 5-year-olds are showing up for kindergarten unfamiliar with simple things like how to hold
a pencil or the regular reading of books. Some have never
had an adult read to them.
And the numbers have barely budged from the previous
year, the first year school officials administered a statewide test to determine how well-prepared kids are to begin
school. That means one 1 of 2 children in Kentucky aren’t
considered ready when they enter kindergarten.
But the good news is that organizations throughout the
state are working to reach families to offer ways they can
develop learning skills in young children regardless of
income status or whether parents can afford a high-priced
preschool. And they are finding some unique and innovative ways to do that.
Educators caution it will take time and effort to turn
around Kentucky’s low rate of kindergarten readiness. But
it can be done ... “one child, one family, at a time.”

Seeking a vaccine for ignorance
lashback: Galileo is sitting under house
arrest pondering the unyielding ignorance
of The Church for refusing to consider his
heliocentric proposition that the Earth circled
the sun, which, contrary to Scripture, was at the
center of what we now call the solar system.
We find this historical anecdote preposterous
today, but people were persecuted for lesser heresies in Galileo’s time. Though we are now centuries removed from such dim-wittery, we find ourselves in a not-dissimilar pickle.
After decades free of many crippling and deadly
diseases thanks to the miracle of vaccines, some
people are skeptical. Parents fearful of side effects,
often on account of anecdotal evidence or discredited studies, are reluctant to vaccinate their
children.
Marin County, Calif., a liberal enclave famous for
its beauty and wealth, seems to be the epicenter of
the debate. Many have opted out of vaccinations
as part of their evolution into honeybees. Some
see vaccines as a conspiracy of Big Pharma. Elsewhere, especially in the South, people are simply
distrustful of authority, especially government.
The latter group is familiarly known as the GOP
base. They tend to be litmus-test conservatives on
social issues and place Scripture above science.
On the bright side, the far left and the far right
finally have found common ground. They’d rather
let their children risk illness — and their country
an epidemic — than contaminate their offspring’s
pristine bodies with antibodies.
Oh, to be a fly at that picnic!
One wonders what public tortures Jonas Salk
might have encountered had he presented his
polio vaccine today rather than in the 1950s. One
crucial difference is that polio left visual reminders of its assault on the human body. The 1952 epidemic affected nearly 58,000 people, more than
3,100 of whom died and some 21,000 were left disabled.
Most Americans under the age of 50, including doctors, have never seen measles. Now, after
decades of being a virtually measles-free nation,
we have 100 cases spread across at least 14 states
and the potential for more as stubborn purists
resist common sense. Science and experience
overwhelmingly support vaccines, and the single
study to the contrary, suggesting a connection to
autism, has been thoroughly discredited.
Naturally, into this tar pit, the GOP presidential
field has fallen. Or rather, been pushed. Asked
about the vaccine controversy, both New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul
have handed the media a fresh bone to gnaw.
Christie initially said that parents “need to have
some measure of choice,” though he later clarified by saying that children should be vaccinated
against measles. Paul told radio host Laura Ingraham, “While I think it’s a
good idea to take the vaccine, I think that’s a personal
decision for individuals.”
Neither comment standing alone is objectionable.
Barring a time-release patch
from God, vaccines are the
best we’ve got. Eventually,
most parents come around
to this conclusion, despite
reluctance to inject their
children with a tiny dose of
the virus. They do it because
the alternative is unthinkable.
While parents’ rights should always be protected in the absence of harm to their children,
the public health of the nation also has to be protected. Individual rights are justifiably modified when the exercise of those rights adversely
affects others. Smoking is a textbook example of
this premise.
Preserving individual freedom is one of the
compelling forces of modern conservatism and
remains its most attractive feature. Thus, Republican candidates are faced with a daunting balancing act of confirming to primary voters their allegiance to the principle while also signaling to the
rest of the country that they’re not that foolish.
These conundrums are not new. The conflict
between individual rights and the greater good
is the fundamental argument in a democracy, the
success of which relies upon an educated rather
than only radio-informed citizenry, as well as
leaders willing to defend science over ideology.
Aspiring presidents would do well to articulate
these conflicts with compassion, without condescension or pandering — while explaining why, in
this case, vaccines are the right choice. For starters they might quote Thomas Frieden, director of
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
“Study after study has shown that there are no
negative long-term consequences. And the more
kids who are not vaccinated, the more they’re at
risk and the more they put their neighbors’ kids
at risk as well.”
There. That didn’t hurt much, did it?

Imagination Library
sponsored for 10th year
The Maryville Kiwanis Foundation is now beginning its 10th
year of sponsoring Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program for Blount County children. The Maryville Kiwanis
Club began the program in
November 2005. During these
nine-plus years, 462,000 books
have been mailed to 12,300 children. The Foundation has raised
$488,000 to pay for one-half of
the books and mailing cost. The
other half is paid by the Governor’s Books From Birth Foundation. This money has been
raised by the generosity of our
members, Kiwanis fundraisers, and various organizations
and businesses in our community. I especially want to highlight and recognize a young lady
who has supported this program
over the past several years. This
past December, we received the
following letter from Megan
Underwood, who is a student at
Carpenters Elementary.
Dear Maryville Kiwanis,
Hi again! It’s Megan Underwood. For my 1lth birthday,
instead of presents, I asked
for donations for Imagination
Library. I came up with $106. I
hope it provides at least three kids
the ability to learn to read. Anyway, have a Merry Christmas and
I hope to donate next year, too!
Sincerely,
Megan Underwood
I believe this totally describes
the impact this program has
had on children’s young lives
as they are being prepared
to enter school. We have had
many other words and notes of
thanks from parents, teachers
and students. We believe providing these free books for children, birth to 5 years of age, is
making a difference in a child’s
love of books and reading. It is a
wonderful way to bond parents
and child as they sit and read
together.
Thank you Blount County for
helping make a difference in so
many young lives!
Sincerely,
Herb Meyer
Maryville Kiwanis Chair of Imagination

The yield on the
10-year Treasury
rose to 1.79 percent on Tuesday.
Yields affect
rates on mortgages and other
consumer loans.
Stocks rose sharply on Tuesday, helped by a bounce back
in the price of oil and signs that
Greece’s new government
won’t be as hostile to investors
as previously expected. Investors were also encouraged by
a surge in auto sales last
month.

Rising SUV and truck sales in
North America helped nearly
double General Motor’s profit in
the July-September quarter.
That more than offset the automaker’s struggles in Europe and
South America. Did the automaker
enjoy a similar surge in earnings
in the final quarter of last year? Or
did GM’s earnings take a hit from
any more charges related the
company’s safety recalls? Wall
Street finds out today, when GM
reports its fourth-quarter financial
results.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER
SOUP WITH
TAMARI PEPITAS
BY J.M. HIRSCH
AP Food Editor
Start to finish: 30 minutes (15
minutes active)
Servings: 4
1 head cauliflower, cored and
cut into chunks
1 yellow onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic
2 cups low-sodium chicken
broth
1⁄2 teaspoon whole peppercorns (black or mixed)
2 tablespoons yellow (or
other light) miso
Hot sauce, to taste
Salt
1⁄4 cup pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds)
2 tablespoons tamari (or soy
sauce)
In a large saucepan or stockpot
over medium-high, combine the
cauliflower, onion, garlic, broth
and peppercorns. Bring to a
simmer, then cover, reduce heat
to low and cook for 10 minutes,
or until the cauliflower is very
tender. Working in batches if
necessary, carefully transfer
the mixture, including all of the
broth, to a blender. Make certain
the blender cover is secure when
working with hot ingredients.
Puree until smooth.
Add the miso and hot sauce
(start with 1⁄2 teaspoon) to the
blender, then puree again to
blend. Taste, then season with
salt. Return the soup to the pot
and keep warm over low heat.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the pumpkin
seeds. Stir the seeds constantly
until they all have puffed and
barely begun to brown. Add
the tamari to the skillet, being
careful about splatters. Stir until
the tamari has completely evaporated and coated the pepitas.
Ladle the soup into serving
bowls and top each serving with
pepitas.

RED BEANS AND RICE
BY MELISSA D’ARABIAN
The Associated Press
When I was growing
up, beans and rice were
an end-of-month staple.
As money got tight, my
mom would whip up a
beans and rice casserole,
a healthy, budget-friendly
choice that stretched our
pantry a bit longer.
Not that we necessarily appreciated it. “It’s
a complete protein!”
Mom would proudly
announce as my sister and
I groaned. But mom was
right — beans and rice
are a great combination
worth another look.
Red beans are a classic
choice for this combination, especially in spicy
Creole cuisine. Red beans
and rice likely became
popular because of its
nutrition profile. Red kidney beans are full of protein, fiber, vitamins and
minerals.
Adding rice to the dish
completes the amino
acids needed to make a
complete protein, making
beans and rice a fantastic option for vegetarians.
In Creole cuisine, the
dish is flavored with a bit
of meat, either sausage,
ham, or just the ham bone
leftover from a previous
meal.
Start to finish: 45 minutes
Servings: 8
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely
chopped
1 large celery stalk, chopped
1 small red pepper, cored and
chopped
6 ounces cooked ham, cubed
(about 1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, minced or
pressed
1⁄2 teaspoon chipotle chili
powder
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
1⁄4 cup dry white wine
3 cups low-sodium chicken
broth
Two 15-ounce cans red
kidney beans, drained and
rinsed
3 cups water
2 cups long-grain white rice
Kosher salt
2 to 3 teaspoons cider vinegar
or white vinegar
Ground black pepper
Fresh cilantro or parsley,
chopped, to garnish
In a large, heavy saucepan
over medium, heat the
oil. Add the onion, celery,
red pepper and ham and
saute until the vegetables
are tender and the meat is
starting to turn golden, about
7 minutes. Add the garlic, chili
powder, cumin and thyme,
then cook for an additional 2
minutes.
Increase the heat to
medium-high, then add the
wine and stir to deglaze
the pan. Stir until the wine
bubbles and mostly evaporates, about 1 minute. Add
the chicken broth and kidney
beans, bring to a simmer,
then lower the heat, cover
and simmer for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large sauce-
pan over medium-high, bring
the water to a simmer. Add
the rice and a pinch of salt,
then cover and reduce heat
to maintain a simmer. Cook
for 15 minutes, or until the
water is absorbed and the
rice is fluffy.
Once the beans are done,
stir in 2 teaspoons of the vinegar. Taste and season with
salt, pepper and additional
vinegar, if needed. Spoon the
rice into serving bowls, then
top with the beans and fresh
cilantro or parsley.

A FONDUE DUO OF chocolate mango and five spice caramel sauces are anything but ordinary for that special Valentine.
FONDUE DUO OF CHOCOLATE-MANGO AND FIVE-SPICE CARAMEL SAUCES
dishes. If they get too cool, just
pop them in the microwave for a
few seconds.
BY ALISON LADMAN
The Associated Press
Worried your kitchen skills
may not be up to pulling together
something impressively decadent
for Valentine’s Day? Fear not. A
pricy restaurant meal isn’t your
only option.
We created this delicious, yet
simple pair of fondue sauces to
be easy for even the most clueless
cook. But we didn’t sacrifice the
wow-factor in the process. Warm
chocolate-mango and five-spice
caramel sauces are anything but
ordinary. For ease, we pair them
with purchased items for dipping
— biscotti, pound cake, fresh berries, whatever inspires you.
And while fondue pots are nice,
they aren’t essential. You also can
offer these sauces in small serving
Start to finish: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
For the chocolate fondue:
1⁄2 cup mango puree
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate,
chopped
3 tablespoons honey
For the caramel fondue:
1⁄2 cup half-and-half
5 ounces caramels (about 17 to 18
pieces)
1⁄2 teaspoon five-spice powder
For dunking:
Wafer cookies
Fresh berries
Biscotti
Marshmallows
Pound cake, cut into cubes or sticks
125
$
Angel food cake, cut into cubes or sticks
In a small saucepan over medium,
heat the mango puree and butter until
simmering and the butter has melted.
Remove the pan from the heat and add
the chocolate and honey. Allow to sit
for 2 minutes, then stir with a rubber
spatula until smooth. Set aside, but keep
warm.
In another small saucepan over medium, heat the half-and-half until it simmers. Add the caramels and five-spice
powder, then cook, stirring constantly,
until the caramels are melted and the
mixture is smooth.
Transfer the two mixtures to 2 small
serving bowls.
Set on a platter surrounded by the
various items for dunking. Alternatively,
set up 2 heated fondue pots according to
product directions and pour the dipping
sauces into those.
Serve immediately.
A few years ago, former
video game executive
Kevin Yu was cooking for
a girlfriend on Valentine’s
Day when he discovered
he’d forgotten the mushrooms for the mushroom
soup. But that was just the
start. He’d also lost track
of timing on the various
dishes, and he was just
generally making a mess
of things.
“I was trying to whip
up a three-course meal
at the last minute, and it
ended up a disaster,” Yu
says. “She didn’t leave
me because of the cooking, but the cooking didn’t
help.”
But does it surprise you
that these days there’s an
app for that? The cooking
part, anyway.
Yu is the founder of
SideChef, a cooking app
that supplements recipes with social media and
aims to help home cooks
avoid disasters like his.
It’s one of thousands of
apps that offer recipes,
step-by-step videos, measurement conversion,
timers, shopping lists and
other elements meant to
simplify our lives in the
kitchen.
But while apps have
commandeered so many
aspects of our lives, tracking our fitness, our sleep,
our banking, our navigation, they have been slow
to take over our kitchens.
“They haven’t blown
up yet,” says Harrison
Weber, news editor at
VentureBeat.com, an
online magazine that
covers technology
innovation. “It hasn’t hit
a tipping point in terms
of usefulness and market
need.”
Digital cookbooks have
notoriously failed in the
publishing world, and
account for a minuscule
percentage of total cookbook sales. But develop-
ers argue that apps are
not just another platform
for digital recipes. Apps,
they say, offer convenience, portability and, at
their best, a new way of
interacting with the information. Some of the earliest cooking apps were
extensions of popular
cookbooks. In 2011, baking expert Dorie Greenspan helped create a companion app to her book
“Baking with Dorie” that
used video to walk users
through the recipes. Portland, Oregon-based app
developer Culinate offers
similarly interactive apps
for books such as Mark
Bittman’s “How to Cook
Everything.”
The most popular apps
today are the ones that
build on trends, such as
gluten-free or vegan recipes, says Fiona O’Donnell,
a lifestyles analyst at
Chicago-based market
research firm Mintel, or
on products that already
have a large following,
such as Allrecipes.com
and Epicurious.com. The
Food Network’s “In the
Kitchen” app, which features recipes and videos
from the network’s celebrity chefs, boasts more
than 5 million downloads.
Many cooking and other
apps also follow the principles of “gamification,”
applying the social media,
build-your-own environment and other principles
of video games. Yu, a former community development executive for the
game World of Warcraft,
says his SideChef app will
offer similar aspects of
community.
But apps won’t change
the way we shop, cook
and eat, say analysts and
app developers, until
they fully integrate every
step of the process, from
deciding what to make,
to delivering a recipe, its
ingredients and “smart”
appliances with which to
cook it.

SAUSAGE AND
BUTTERNUT SQUASH
PERSONAL LASAGNAS
BY J.M. HIRSCH
AP Food Editor
The notion that a great
Valentine’s Day dinner
should be fancy or somehow over-the-top is way
overrated. I’ll take delicious comfort food over
a fussy meal any day,
regardless of the romance
quotient.
And when I want real
comfort — deep down,
rich, winter night snuggling comfort — I want
noodles and cheese. Now
that is a romantic combination. How to pare them
for this special dinner,
however, requires some
thought. A basic mac and
cheese could be a little too
pedestrian (particularly
if your partner is hoping
for at least a little pizazz).
And most red sauce pasta
dishes rely on that great
killer of romance — garlic.
I liked the idea of lasagna, but a giant baking
dish of lasagna tends to
radiate “potluck” more
than “intimate dinner.”
So I decided to downsize
this meal, using individual
springform pans to create
personal lasagnas. They
are easy to assemble, cook
faster than a whole lasagna and look great on the
plate.
For dessert, keep it simple. In a small saucepan,
stir together a few tablespoons of strawberry jam
with a splash of balsamic
vinegar and a bit of black
pepper. Heat until just
warm, then drizzle over
vanilla or chocolate ice
cream. Crumble almond
biscotti over the top and
call it a night.
Start to finish: 11⁄2 hours (30
minutes active)
Servings: 2
2 cups cubed butternut
squash
Kosher salt and ground black
pepper
6 ounces loose Italian
sausage
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3⁄4 cup part-skim ricotta
cheese
1 egg
1⁄3 cup grated Parmesan
cheese
1⁄4 teaspoon dried basil
1⁄4 teaspoon dried oregano
1⁄2 cup heavy cream
6 ounces fresh pasta sheets
(three 6-by-81⁄2-inch sheets)
1⁄2 cup grated mozzarella
cheese
Heat the oven to 375 F. Line
a baking sheet with foil, then
mist it with cooking spray. Also
mist the bottoms and sides of
two 4-inch round springform
pans.
Arrange the squash on the
prepared baking sheet in a
single layer. Mist with cooking
spray, then season with salt
and pepper. Roast the squash
until lightly browned and
tender, about 25 minutes. Set
aside to cool for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet
over medium-high heat, combine the sausage and onion.
Saute until the sausage is
cooked and the onion is tender
and lightly browned, about 8
minutes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, egg, Parmesan,
basil and oregano. Set aside.
Transfer the cooled squash to
a blender, then add the cream.
Puree until smooth, then taste
and adjust seasonings. Set
aside. Use a round biscuit cutter
that fits just inside the springform pans to cut 8 rounds from
the sheets of pasta.
Spoon about 2 teaspoons of
the pureed squash evenly over
the bottom of each springform
pan. Set 1 pasta round over the
squash in each pan. Spread 2
tablespoons of the ricotta mixture over the pasta, then spoon
3 tablespoons of the sausage
mixture over it. Sprinkle with
mozzarella cheese, then top
with another round of pasta.
Repeat the layering process
until both pans are full. Finish
each lasagna with a final round
of pasta, a generous amount
of squash puree and a liberal
sprinkle of mozzarella.
Set the pans on a rimmed
baking sheet, then bake on
the oven’s middle shelf for
40 minutes, or until lightly
browned and bubbling. Cool for
10 minutes before setting each
lasagna on a serving plate and
removing the sides of the pans.
MUSSELS IN DIJON-ORANGE SAUCE WITH ARUGULA
BY ALISON LADMAN
The Associated Press
Looking for something fast,
easy and a little romantic to
cook with your partner this Valentine’s Day? Consider mussels.
With a pleasantly briny flavor,
mussels pair well with clean,
simple flavors, such as fresh
herbs with melted butter and
lightly cooked onions or leeks,
or a sauce made from white
wine, heavy cream and garlic. But they also can stand up
to more robust partners, such
as basil pesto or spicy tomato
sauces.
However you dress your mussels, they are a breeze to prepare. Start by washing them
under cold water. Next, pull
out the “beards,” the fibrous
strips that stick out from the
shells. Meanwhile, in a large
pot combine 1⁄4 inch or so of
white wine with a generous few
tablespoons of melted butter.
Bring to a simmer, then add the
mussels, cover and cook, shaking the pan frequently, for 3 to
4 minutes, or until the mussels
have opened.
Be sure to check on the mussels during cooking. As they
open, use a slotted spoon to
remove them and set aside
while the remaining mussels
cook. This prevents those that
open first from overcooking.
Don’t feel like get fancy with a
sauce? The juices left in the pan
make a delicious one. Add some
fresh herbs and a splash of lemon juice, then pour it over the

mussels in serving bowls.
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 2
2 pounds mussels
1 cup white wine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1⁄4 cup chopped shallot
Zest and juice of 1 orange
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 cups packed baby arugula or

1 red chili, thinly sliced (optional)
Crusty bread, to serve
Scrub the mussels with a coarse
brush and remove the beards. Rinse
thoroughly.
In a large pot over medium heat,
combine the wine, garlic, shallots,
orange zest and juice, mustard and
black pepper. Bring to a simmer,
cover, and cook for about 5 minutes,
or until the shallot is tender and the
wine is fragrant.
Add the mussels and cover, cooking
over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the mussels open up.
Remove the mussels as they open,
discarding any that don’t.
Stir in the butter until melted, then
divide between 2 serving bowls. Top
with chives, parsley, arugula and chili
slices, if using.
Serve hot with hunks of crusty
bread.

Start to finish: 10 minutes
Servings: 8
11⁄2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons powdered
peanut butter
1⁄2 teaspoon fine salt
In a heavy, large saucepan
over medium, heat the coconut oil. Sprinkle in the popcorn kernels and give a quick
stir with a wooden spoon to
coat the kernels in oil.
Continue cooking and
stirring until the first kernel
pops. Once it does, cover the
pan and, using oven mitts,
grasp the pan by both the
handle and the lid, then
gently shake the pan (on the
heat) to keep the kernels
moving as they continue to
pop.
Do this for about 2 minutes,
or until there is a 2-second
delay between pops. Remove
the pan from the heat and
transfer the popcorn to a
large bowl.
Be very careful; the popcorn
will be very hot.
Drizzle the honey over the
popcorn, then use wooden
spoons to toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the peanut butter
and salt over the popcorn,
then toss again to coat.

Separated husband feels
ambushed by stealth photo
DEAR ABBY: My wife and
I have been separated for
a year. I have been seeing
another woman in a city
nearby, and my wife is
aware of it.
I took my lady friend
out for dinner recently
while visiting her in her
town. A couple from
home who know my wife
and me were also eating
at this restaurant. I greeted them as we walked by
their table.
The next day, my wife
approached me and
showed me a picture of
me and my date that had
been taken by this couple without my knowledge. I was furious
about the invasion of
privacy. My wife claims
I am just angry because
I got “caught.” If I were
worried about getting
caught, I wouldn’t have
been in a public restaurant in a city frequented
by people who know
me.
What are your thoughts
on people who secretly
take photos like this? Do
they really think they are
doing their civic duty? —
VIOLATED IN IOWA
DEAR VIOLATED: You have
a right to your privacy.
If you and your wife
have been separated for
a year, then with whom
you socialize is your
own business. The same
applies to your wife.
I fail to see what kind of
“civic duty” this couple
was performing by taking a picture of you and
your date. Frankly, I think
it was in poor taste and
served no good purpose.
DEAR
ABBY
DEAR ABBY: I’m 30 and
have felt pretty happy
with my life. I enjoy my
job, my social life, staying
fit and extensive stays
abroad. I thought I was
going along OK, even
though there is still room
for improvement.
My biggest (or most
obvious) shortcoming,
however, is that I’m not
attractive in any way,
and guys have never
been attracted to me, so
any chance at a future
with someone is not an
option. I thought I was
learning to accept it, but
it’s harder than I thought
— especially because
of reactions from other
people.
Now that I’m older,
people look at me with
pity or treat me strangely.
I don’t know how to handle the constant questioning about whether I
have found someone yet.
It is not going to happen. Is there something
wrong with me? I’m
starting to feel like a total
loser and complete failure. — LOSER IN LOVE
DEAR LOSER IN LOVE: If
you are asked whether
you have “found someone yet,” tell the person
the truth, that Chris Pine
hasn’t found YOU yet.
There are worse things
than singlehood. You
have so many positive
things going for you in
your life, it’s time you
recognized it. The person who deserves pity
isn’t someone who is
single; it’s someone who
is trapped in a marriage
to a husband she doesn’t
love or who treats her
badly.
Your problem isn’t
that you are a “loser”;
it’s that you have low
self-esteem. You could
benefit from talking
to a counselor about
this, because everyone
has something to offer,
including you, and for
others to appreciate your
finer qualities, you need
to stop being so hard on
yourself.

Tsarnaev lawyers ask appeals
court to order trial moved
BOSTON — Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev asked a federal appeals court again on Tuesday
to order the judge to move his trial outside of Massachusetts, arguing he cannot get a fair trial here.
The request was the second
time the defense has asked the
1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
to step in and take the decision
on whether to move the trial out
of the hands of Judge George
O’Toole Jr.
The 1st Circuit rejected a similar
request last month, before jury
selection began.
In their new request, Tsarnaev’s
lawyers say their review of questionnaires filled out by 1,373 prospective jurors show that 68 percent already believe Tsarnaev is
guilty.
They said 69 percent have identified some sort of personal connection or allegiance they have
bought the collection and placed
it on long-term loan to the library.

Parks’ archive opening to

EU signals flexibility
on Greek debt demands
Feb. 10th
WASHINGTON — Rosa Parks,
who refused to give up her seat on
a segregated bus in 1955, reflected later about how it felt to be
treated less than equal and once
wrote how tired she was of being
“pushed around.”
Now her writings are being
made available to the public for
the first time starting Wednesday
at the Library of Congress.
Experts say the collection gives
a fuller view of a woman remembered by many simply for an iconic image of a nonviolent seamstress who inspired others to act
at the dawning of the civil rights
era.
A years-long legal battle
between Parks’ heirs and her
friends long kept the collection
from public view. But in 2014,

BRUSSELS — The European
Union is ready to adapt its economic policies to help debt-laden
Greece but refuses to make wholesale changes to please the new
anti-austerity government.
European Commission President
Jean-Claude Juncker said Tuesday
that the EU will “have to adapt a
certain number of our policies but
we are not going to change everything.”
His remarks came on the eve of
a visit to Brussels by Greek Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras, whose
government wants to ease the
heavy spending cuts it is making in
exchange for rescue loans.
Tsipras has also said he wants to
renegotiate payment of the debt
bailout. Greece’s finance minister, however, has said that may not
require a write-off of the debt.

Scots deliver season-opening win
COLLEGE BASEBALL
BY PATRICK MACCOON
[email protected]
MC 12, Hiwassee 5
DARYL SULLIVAN | THE DAILY TIMES
MARYVILLE COLLEGE’S LOGAN JENKINS takes a cut at a pitch in the sixth inning
Tuesday against Hiwassee College in MC’s season opener at Scotland Yard.
Maryville gave new coach Cody Church his first win with the 12-5 victory.
Rebels grab 4-AAA
title over Bearden
BY GRANT RAMEY
[email protected]
KNOXVILLE — For
Maryville, Tuesday night’s
game at Bearden was less
about what was on the line
and more about what had
already been decided.
Up for grabs between the
top boys’ teams in District
4-AAA was the regularseason title. More importantly, the Rebels couldn’t
erase from their memories the last meeting with
the Bulldogs, an ice-cold
20-point loss on Jan. 6 at
home.
“The guys were excited
because they played so
poorly last time and shot
it so bad,” Maryville coach
Mark Eldridge said. “We
thought that we would be
better, we just hoped that
we could make some shots
and have a chance to win
at the end.”
Nearly word for word,
that’s exactly how it played
out. Tristan Upchurch
had a team-high 14 points
and three other Rebels
Out of all his debuts in his
baseball career, this one was
especially memorable for Cody
Church.
The first-year Maryville College head coach and his team
opened the campaign with a 12-5
win over Hiwassee College Tuesday at Scotland Yard.
“It’s a different feel being the
head coach,” the 27-year old
Church told The Daily Times
on his first opening day victory as the skipper. “It was exciting. Our guys have been working
hard since August and I’m just
glad to get it out of the way. It is
exciting for me. I’m happy for
our team. We showed up and
played well.”
The Scots wasted no time opening up the season with a strong
presence, plating five runs in the
first inning off Tigers starter Bryan Woodlief (0-1). After leadoff
walks to begin the bottom of the
first, shortstop Nick Dean laced
an RBI-single past Hiwassee’s
diving first baseman to plate
Logan Jenkins for the first run.
With just one out in the bottom
of the first, sophomore designated hitter Greg Vourloumis
began his big day and season at
the plate in unforgettable fashion.
Down 1-2 in the count, the 6-foot3, 190-pounder drove a hanging
fastball over the left center field
fence for a two-run shot and a
5-0 MC lead.
“Leading the season off with
a home run is something you
dream about,” Vourloumis said.
“Off the bat the guys in the dugout heard me say, ‘Oh, goodness,’
like I missed it, but right when I
got to first I saw the ball carrying
and that I had got all of it. It was
a pretty awesome feeling.”
The Atlanta, Ga., native went
2-for-4 with the home run, and
added a double to mark a career
high after hitting .278 in limited
time as a freshman.

BEARDEN 37, Maryville 26
scored in double figures
as Maryville handled
Bearden down the stretch
to take a 64-56 win and the
No. 1 seed in 4-AAA.
“Coming in, we talked
about this being a postseason game,” Eldridge said.
“The last 10 games we’ve
been really good about,
the last four or five minutes of the game, making
big plays, working as a
unit, a team, and not as
individuals.
“I thought that’s what
happened tonight. We did
a good job on (defense)
getting stops, then offensively, we were just as
good as we were defensively.”

Tyndall’s warning on
State proves prophetic
BY DARGAN SOUTHARD

SEC MEN
MISS. ST. 71, Tennessee 66
KNOXVILLE — Donnie
Tyndall tried to give the
warning.
At his Monday press
luncheon, the Volunteers first-year head coach
MORE INSIDE: State reaches
for the Sword against UT. 3B
pegged his next opponent,
Mississippi State as, “one
of the most improved
teams” in the SEC despite
its subpar record, adding that the Bulldogs are,
“playing with a lot of confidence right now,” on the
offensive end.
By the time the final horn
sounded Tuesday night,
the Bulldogs had turned
Tyndall into a prophet,
specifically in regards to
their 3-point offense.
In its 71-66 victory over
UT at Thompson-Bol-
ing Arena, Mississippi
State shot a season-best
73 percent from 3-point
range (8-for-11) — a vast
improvement from the
1-for-9 beyond-the-arc
performance it churned
out in its 61-47 loss to the
Vols on Jan. 7.
Entering Tuesday, the
Bulldogs’ best 3-point percentage night this season
arrived on Dec. 23, where
Mississippi State (11-11,
4-5 SEC) knocked down
53 percent (8-for-15) of its
shots from 3 in a 23-point
victory over Jacksonville.
“It’s hard (when their
shooting well from deep),”
said UT senior point guard
Josh Richardson, who
poured in a career-high
30 points in the loss. “But

Lady T’s down Kingston for share of title
4-AA BAKSETBALL
BY WILL ESTEP
[email protected]
Senior night was a good
night for the Alcoa girls’
basketball team. Not only
did the Lady Tornadoes
pick up the win Tuesday,
but they also clinched at
least a share of the District 4-AA regular season
title forcing Kingston into
plenty of turnovers on the
way to a 52-38 victory at
Alcoa High School.
The Lady Tornadoes finished 7-1 in district play,
while Christian Academy of Knoxville enters
its final game at 6-1. If
the Lady Warriors lose
to Scott County on Friday,
Alcoa will win the title
outright.
Alcoa (15-10, 7-1 District
4-AA) trailed 12-6 after
one quarter but everything started rolling in the
next eight minutes as the
Lady Tornadoes carried a
27-17 lead into halftime.
“I think with senior night
it was a little emotional,”

ALCOA’S AYDEN GIST (4) goes for a basket Tuesday against
Kingston’s Thomas Mathews at Alcoa.
Alcoa coach Tonia Johnson said of the slow start.
“I think the difference was
defense (in the second
quarter). I think we got
a little bit of a defensive
spark and turned some
good defense into good
offense, and just kept the
intensity for eight minutes.”
It was senior night
for four Lady Tornado
seniors, but it was freshman Riley Hicks who
took over to finish with
15 points while knocking
down two 3-pointers.
The second 3-pointer
from Hicks gave Alcoa a
17-14 lead with 3:48 left in
the second quarter giving
the Lady Tornadoes the
lead for good.
Kingston (14-11, 4-4)
turned the ball over several times in the second
quarter as Alcoa jumped
into the passing lanes.
“We tried to switch up
how we run some defenses and how we approach
a defensive possession,”
Johnson said. “The girls
really responded to it

SCOTS: Jenkins goes 2-for-3, walks twice, scores 4 runs
FROM 1B
Maryville (1-0) extended the lead to 10-2 in the
bottom of the fourth after
Dean stole home from third
base on a double steal with
Vourloumis at the plate.
Scots leadoff hitter Logan
Jenkins got on base for his
fourth time in four plate
appearances to start the
bottom of the sixth and
scored off of a sharp hit
ground ball to deep short
by Dean, who collected his
second ribbie.
Jenkins went 2-for-3 and
drew two free bases while
scoring a game-high four
runs. The transfer from
Roane State impressed his
teammates in his debut.
“Logan is a great addition
to the team and is a great
ballplayer,” Vourloumis
said. “He’s going to be a
force at the top of the order
for us all season.”
The 11-2 Scot lead was
more than enough for the
MC pitching staff to work
with the rest of the way.
DARYL SULLIVAN | THE DAILY TIMES
MARYVILLE COLLEGE’S ZACK BLONDER takes the throw to first
Tuesday in the fourth inning of the Scots’ season opener at
Scotland Yard.
Despite giving up runs
in each of the last three
innings, including a solo
home run to Randall Coley,
who led the Tigers with a
3-for-5 performance at the
dish, Tyler Hopkins and
Chris Hamilton closed out
the season opener. Using
a pitching by committee
selection, Church deployed
nine different pitchers who
stranded 13 Tigers.
Jeremy Ibarra (1-0) was
awarded his first win at
Maryville College, as the
junior right-hander from
Anaheim, Ca., pitched a
perfect first inning needing 12 pitches to retire the
Tigers top three.
Only three runs were
charged to the Scots pitching staff, as two runs were a
result of errors in the third
inning.
“We wanted to get everybody out on the mound
that way when Friday rolls
around they’ve got their
feet wet,” Church said. “Jeremy did a great job. When
you’re going by committee
your first guy has to set the
tone because that sets the
tone for the entire game.
He made it look easy and
got some good hitters out.
We are really glad to have
him on our staff.”
Maryville College jumps
immediately into USA
South play, hosting Piedmont College Friday to start
a scheduled three-game
series at Scotland Yard.

WASHINGTON CAPITALS RIGHT WING TOM WILSON (43) prepares
to shoot the puck as Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll (28)
defends with goalie Jonathan Quick (32) Tuesday in Washington.
Brouwer powers
Caps past Kings
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Troy
Brouwer scored two goals,
Braden Holtby stopped 27
shots and the Washington Capitals beat the Los
Angeles Kings 4-0 Tuesday night for their second
win in eight games.
Playing in his 500th
NHL
WASHINGTON 4, LA Kings 0
career game, Brouwer
staked Washington to a
2-0 lead with a goal in each
of the first two periods.
It was his first multigoal
game of the season and
only the third with multiple points.
Nicklas Backstrom made
it 3-0 at 5:50 of the third
period following a Los
Angeles turnover, and 59
seconds later Eric Fehr
converted another Kings
miscue into a 4-0 advantage.
Holtby, meanwhile, was
rarely tested in his sixth
shutout of the season and
career-high 24th victory.
The Capitals were 1-42 in their previous seven
outings, allowing at least
four goals in five of those
games. Their only win in
that span was a 4-0 thumping of Pittsburgh.
Jonathan Quick had 23
saves for the Kings, 1-62 on the road since Dec.
11. The defending Stanley
Cup champions are 21-17-12
overall after opening the
season 6-1-1.
The Capitals outshot Los
Angeles 12-6 in the first
period and got the lone
goal at 17:11, by Brouwer
off a centering pass from
Evgeny Kuznetsov.
PANTHERS 4, ISLANDERS
2: Jimmy Hayes’ second
goal of the game 2:10 into
the third period lifted the
slumping Florida Panthers
to a victory over the New
York Islanders.
Hayes put a rebound of
Nick Bjugstad’s shot past
goalie Jaroslav Halak nine
seconds into a power play
for his 15th goal.
Bjugstad also assisted on
Hayes’ first-period tying
goal.
Erik Gudbranson also
scored, Brandon Pirri added one into an empty net
with 22 seconds left and
Al Montoya made 32 saves
for the Panthers, 2-6-1 in
their past nine — including losses at New Jersey
and the New York Rangers
in their previous two.
Anders Lee scored both
goals for Metropolitan
Division-leading New
York, which has dropped
three straight.
Halak made 26 saves.
An eventful power play
led to Lee’s tying goal
with 7:15 remaining in
the period. Just seconds
after Halak stopped Derek
MacKenzie’s short-handed break, after a turnover
in the Islanders end, Lee
deflected in Travis Hamonic’s drive from the right
point to make the Panthers
pay for a too many men on
the ice penalty.
Lee has scored four of
his 15 goals in the past six
games.
The Islanders jumped out
quickly against the Panthers, who were playing for
the second straight night
and the third time in four
days — all in the New York
metropolitan area.
Islanders captain John
Tavares, in his 400th NHL
game, brought the puck
into the Florida end and
moved it left to Josh Bailey, who found Lee just
1:44 in.
DEVILS 2, SENATORS 1: Mike
Cammalleri scored the goahead goal early in the third
period and the New Jersey
Devils extended their best
run of the season with a
2-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday
night.
Cory Schneider made 19
saves and Adam Henrique
had the other goal for the
Devils, who won for the
seventh time in 11 games
(7-2-2).
Curtis Lazar scored for
the Senators and Robin
Lehner made 17 saves in
his third straight start for
injured Craig Anderson.
Jaromir Jagr did most of
the work on Cammalleri’s
team-high 17th goal of the
season and seventh gamewinner.
The big right wing won
the puck in the right corner,
made a turn into the right
circle and found Cammalleri between the circles for
a shot over Lehner’s shoulder.
WILD 3, BLACKHAWKS 0:
Devan Dubnyk stopped 24
shots in his third shoutout
since joining Minnesota
in mid-January, leading
the Wild to their fourth
straight win.
Mikko Koivu, Jason Zucker and Mikael Granlund
each scored for the Wild.
Since being acquired by
Minnesota in a trade with
Arizona, Dubnyk is 6-1 with
a 1.57 goals against average.
He has four shutouts overall this season.
The Blackhawks, fourth
in the Western Conference, spent the previous
two days in Las Vegas and
were outshot 43-24. They
haven’t won consecutive
games in over a month.
SABRES 3, CANADIENS 2:
Brian Gionta and the Buffalo Sabres stopped their
14-game losing streak —
the longest in team history
— by beating the Montreal
Canadiens.
Gionta, a former Canadiens captain, capped a
three-goal first period for
the Sabres (15-33-3), who
won three of four meetings with Montreal (3215-3) this season. Drew
Stafford and Matt Moulson
also scored for Buffalo.
Brandon Prust and David
Desharnais had the goals
for the Canadiens, who
have lost two in a row at
home.
The Sabres were three
losses short of the NHL
record for consecutive
defeats set by the 1974-75
Washington Capitals and
1992-93 San Jose Sharks.

REBELS: Bearden girls
storm to lead after first
and Andrew Petree added
10 each.
Austin Duncan led
Bearden (25-2, 12-2) with
a game-high 22 points,
Jason Smith added 10 and
Quez Fair scored 8.
Fair (24) and Smith
(11) combined to scored
35 points in the 60-40
Bearden win at Maryville
a month ago, a night when
the Rebels shot 27 percent from the field (15 of
55) and didn’t have a scorer reach double-figures.
“I thought we did a
really good job on Smith
and Fair,” Eldridge said.
“Last time we played
them, both of those guys
were really good. Duncan was good tonight, but
you really have to pick
your poison. And I think
the head of their snake is
Smith. Once he gets going
inside, then the perimeter
gets going.
“I thought we battled
and dug down, doubled him pretty well
tonight.”
The game was knotted
at 48 with six minutes,
40 seconds left in regulation, the Rebels scored
11 of the next 13 to close
on a 16-8 run.
Bearden led by as many
as nine in the first quarter, Maryville led by as
many as eight in the second quarter and the Rebels led, 48-44, after the
third.
“I thought it was a really good high school ballgame,” Eldridge said.
“There were runs on both
sides and fortunately we
got the lead and made
some big plays.
“They missed a shot
or two, we made two or
three more. That’s what it
came down to. It wound
up an eight-point game,
but it was a lot closer than
that.”
Maryville, now 10-0
since that loss to Bearden,
is locked into the region
tournament after finishing in the top two of the
district standings.
The Rebels will open
the District 4-AAA tour-
nament Tuesday night
at home. The Lady Rebels open 4-AAA Tournament play at home on
Monday.
“It (didn’t) really matter if we were (No.) 1 or
2,” Eldridge said. “Next
week, the tournament
starts.
“It’s great to win the
district championship,
that’s good stuff, but
next week is when, really, all the postseason play
begins.”
BEARDEN 37, LADY REBELS
26: The Maryville girls led
4-AAA leaders Bearden
14-4 after the first but
scored just 12 points the
rest of the way, as the
Lady Bulldogs finished
with a perfect 14-0 record
in district play and the
No. 1 seed.
K ayl a Ti l l i e h a d a
team-high 12 points for
Maryville (20-4, 11-3),
including five in the first
quarter, and Madison
Coulter added 10, including a pair of first-quarter
3-pointers.
Chandler Greer had 12
for Bearden (25-3, 14-0),
which trailed 18-11 at the
half before starting the
third quarter with a 10-0
run to take a 21-18 lead.
Maryville tunes up for

TENNESSEE GUARD ROBERT HUBBS III (3) grabs a rebound against Mississippi State forward Gavin Ware (20) and guard Craig Sword
(32) Tuesday in Knoxville.
Terrible
swift
Sword
Sophomore puts up 26 points to down Tennessee
BY STEVE MEGARGEE
SEC MEN’S STANDINGS
AP Sports Writer
KNOXVILLE — Mississippi
State’s Craig Sword says he’s feeling fine as long as his team keeps
playing the way it did Tuesday.
Sword scored 26 points to continue his successful comeback
from preseason back surgery as
Mississippi State relied on sizzling
3-point shooting to beat Tennessee, 71-66.
“Anytime we get a win, I’m (feeling) 100 percent,” Sword quipped.
After undergoing back surgery in
October, Sword missed the Bulldogs’ first five games and scored in
double figures just once in his first
13 appearances. The sophomore
guard now has averaged 18 points
per game over his last five contests.
“It’s a day-to-day process with
him,” Mississippi State coach
Rick Ray said. “Sometimes he
doesn’t practice. Sometimes we
don’t know if he’s going to be able
to go in games until he gets out
there and warms up. But (Sword)
is really one of the toughest players I’ve ever coached. He goes out
there and gives effort every single
time, whether it’s in practice or in
games.”
Mississippi State (11-11, 4-5 SEC)
shot 55.8 percent (19 of 34) overall and 72.7 percent (8 of 11) from
3-point range to end a string of 16
consecutive February losses. The
Bulldogs hadn’t won a February
game since beating South Carolina
69-67 in overtime on Feb. 29, 2012.
Sword and Fred Thomas made
sure the Bulldogs ended their
recent February misery. Sword

beyond the arc. Thomas scored 20
points while shooting 5 of 7 overall
and 4 of 5 on 3-pointers.
“We let them get hot early,” said
Tennessee guard Josh Richardson, who scored a career-high 30
points. “Mississippi State’s a team
where if you let them do that, it’s
going to be rough.”
The Bulldogs led 63-61 in the
final minute when Tennessee’s
Derek Reese drove into the lane
and missed a dunk attempt. Thomas got the rebound, raced to the
other end of the floor and converted a three-point play with 52 seconds left. Mississippi State’s lead
wouldn’t drop below three points
again.
Mississippi State found a way to
win despite attempting 26 fewer
shots than Tennessee, which had
20 offensive rebounds and out-
scored the Bulldogs 17-6 in secondchance points. The Volunteers
shot 41.7 percent (25 of 60) overall
25 percent (5 of 20) on 3-pointers.
But the Bulldogs went 25 of 35 on
free throws, while Tennessee was
11 of 17.
“Our team’s margin of error is so,
so small that if we don’t have the
right mentality and we’re not on
razor’s edge, there’s no one in our
league we can beat,” Tennessee
coach Donnie Tyndall said.
STAT LINES: Although Richardson
scored a career-high 30 points, he
also had seven turnovers. ... Since
losing its first three SEC games,
Mississippi State has won four of
its last six. ... Mississippi State had
made just 11 baskets in a 61-47 loss
to Tennessee on Jan. 7. In Tuesday’s’ rematch, the Bulldogs had 12
baskets by halftime.
QUOTABLE: “Our guys are steadily staying the course,” Ray said. “
I give a lot of credit to our team
because a lot of people would have
pitched it in and (given) up after
our start to the SEC season, but to
those guys’ credit and their character, they still continue to do the
things we ask them to do in order
to become a better team.”

WARNING: Barrage of 3-pointers fuels Bulldogs’ attack
FROM 1B
we have to do a better job
of getting the corners covered. I think they were hurting us from the corners real
bad today.”
All of that downtown
production was generated
through junior guards Craig
Sword and Fred Thomas,
who each were 4-for-5 from
deep and accounted for 56 of
Mississippi State’s 71 points.
Neither player was a 3-point
threat in the two team’s first
matchup of the season —
Sword played just 22 minutes that night as he slowly returned from a bulging
disk, while Thomas missed
all six of his downtown
attempts in the 14-point loss
to UT (13-8, 5-4).
But the tandem quickly
made up for lost time in
round two.
Midway through first half,
Thomas and Sword connected on three 3-pointers
in less than two minutes of
game clock, transforming
Mississippi State’s then 15-11
deficit into a 20-17 advantage.
“Two things with that
obviously,” Tyndall said in
regards to a slew of 3-pointers coming in a short span.
“It makes your team kind
of drop their head and get
down a little bit, and it gives
them a great deal of confidence on the road. They’re
able to answer the bell if
you will.
“To their credit, we’ve
been in those situations.
We’ve done that a bunch
ourselves, but to their credit, they did that tonight.”
After intermission, the
duo then pressed the replay
button.
With his team tied at 41,
and a little more than 12
minutes remaining, Sword
pulled up from deep to
splash his first. Less than a
minute later, same result.
Thomas followed suit to cap
off the riveting stretch, and
hand the Bulldogs a 50-43
lead with 10:27 to go.
“When you let guys let
Fred get their head or Craig
Sword get their head up, it’s
going to be a tough night,”
Richardson said.
Even after Richardson
went on a scoring spree
late in the second half, Rick
Ray’s squad countered from
deep. Just moments after
Richardson scored his 19th
point in less than 11 minutes to trim UT’s deficit
to only two, Sword calmly
pulled up and buried his
final 3-pointer of the night
to deflate any orange-clad
momentum.
With 4:40 to go, Sword’s
trey supplied the Bulldogs
with a 61-57 advantage,
which sent a large contingent of Vols fans towards
Where Fun is
Always Brewing
the exit and helped put the
finishing touches on Mississippi State’s first win
in Knoxville since Feb. 26,
2011.
“We let them get hot early,” Richardson said, “and
they did a good job of keeping attacking.
“They’ve been playing well the last couple
weeks.”

JuCo route not easy
for Vols’ new commit
BY GRANT RAMEY
[email protected]
The best way Justin Martin knows how to describe
junior-college football is to
give an example of a day in
the life.
“I’ll just give you a little
bit of a scenario,” the fourstar cornerback who’s committed to Tennessee, and
product of Northeastern
Oklahoma A&M junior college, told VolQuest.com
Monday. “We’re going to
a game in Cisco, Texas, We
don’t take planes, because
they’re expensive or whatever.
“So we’re driving down
there and our offensive bus
breaks down. So we’re sitting on the side of the road
for about three hours.”
Just wait, it gets worse.
“Then our (defensive)
bus breaks down,” Martin
continued, “the air conditioning stops working. It
was a horrible trip.
“In the middle of the summer, too,”
That’s why today, on
national signing day, when
Martin makes his commitment to Tennessee official
by signing to become a Vol,
he won’t take anything for
granted. Not even the air
conditioning.
“It really does make you
appreciate it,” Martin
said.
Martin, a four-star cornerback by Rivals.com and
considered the No. 1 junior
college cornerback in the
2015 class, played one year
at Overton High School in
Nashville and was helped
by Tennessee in leaving
high school early and getting to Northeastern Oklahoma A&M early, all in an
effort to have three years
of FBS eligibility left upon
his exit.
But getting from Point A
to Point B was far from a
straight line.
“JuCo’s not easy,” Martin
said. “Man, you don’t get
the luxuries of a Division
I. Most JuCos, for kids, are
far away from home.”
For Martin, Miami, Okla.,
was “nine, 10 hours” from
home. Now his new home
will be just a couple hours
east. Martin took his official visit to Knoxville over
the weekend, a month
removed from committing
to the Vols on Dec. 31.
“It was a good time for
my family,” Martin said,
describing the weekend as
a “bonding” opportunity as
a player already committed
to the school, all the while
continuing to work on adding other names to the class
through peer recruiting.

“My girlfriend’s been trying to get me to commit (to
Tennessee) for, like, a year
now,” Martin said. “So she
was happy.”
So is Martin, with his
opportunity to play football
in the Southeastern Conference quickly approaching. One he earned the
hard way, in tiny JuCo stadiums reached only by
team bus.
“(They’re) less than high
school crowds,” Martin
said.
Still, motivation was never a problem, even if few
people were watching.
“I’m a really, really high
self-motivator,” he said.
“I’m not hard to motivate.
It’s not hard for me to motivate myself.”
Which makes sense, when
Martin compares his style
of play to another highly
motivated corner.
“I’m like a Richard Sherman type of corner,” said
Martin, who has Sherman’s
build, listed at 6-foot-2, 192
pounds. “I like to get in the
receiver’s head.”

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS’ FAN NORB CAOILI grabs his head in the final moments of the Super Bowl as the Seahawks lose to the New
England Patriots Sunday in Glendale, Ariz.
Sleepless in Seattle
Days later, Seahawks fans still struggling with loss
BY GENE JOHNSON
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — As shocking as it was,
the Seattle Seahawks’ last-minute
loss to the New England Patriots in
the Super Bowl Sunday was probably not even the worst loss in the
city’s sports history.
Seattle did lose an entire NBA franchise, after all, when the SuperSonics

up and moved to Oklahoma City. At
least the Seahawks will be playing
again next season.
But the grief, anger and bewilderment felt by many Seahawks fans
nevertheless shows only mild signs
of abating, even days later. Many
say they’re certain the decision to
pass from the 1-yard line — instead
of handing off to bruising running
back Marshawn Lynch — will forever haunt the Northwest the way
previous sporting gaffes defined
other cities.
“I’ll be 90 years old and still thinking about this game,” said Norb Caoili, a longtime season-ticket holder
from Renton. “The history of sports
is defined by moments like this,
‘I’ll be 90 years old
and still thinking
about this game.’

where heroes rise and save the day,
or where teams collapse on the biggest stages. It’s always going to be
a part of the fabric of Seattle, and
that’s tough to swallow.”
Caoili, 45, is the force behind NorbCam, a YouTube channel that features videos of himself — wearing
a green wig, Seahawks headband,
and blue-and-green face paint —
reacting to the action during Seahawks games. The videos have been
viewed an improbable number of
times, making him a prominent voice
among Hawks fans.
For him, the way the Seahawks lost
is what makes it so tough: Moments
earlier, the team seemed on the brink
of a miraculous victory, with receiver

despite great coverage from Patriots rookie Malcolm Butler. It was a

Muschamp aids Auburn in signing-day surge
BY RALPH D. RUSSO
AP College Football Writer
On national signing day,
there is a good chance Florida fans will be angry with
Will Muschamp again.
The former Gators coach
who was fired last season
and hired as Auburn’s
defensive coordinator two
weeks after he coached
his final game for Florida has the Tigers in position to make a signing day
surge.
Linebacker Byron Cowart of Seffner, Fla., rated
the No. 1 prospect in the
country by Rivals and
ESPN, is scheduled to pick
between Auburn and Florida on Wednesday, when
high school football players can make those verbal
commitments binding by
signing a national letter
of intent.

said Mike Farrell, national recruiting director for

on his way out (at Michigan) and everybody abandoned ship. And at Florida
all these big-name kids are
still interested until Muschamp got fired. Then they
lost interest. And then
Muschamp gets hired at
Auburn and all of sudden
Auburn’s the hot team.”
Cowart showed no interest in Auburn until Muschamp made the 300-mile
move northwest from
Gainesville.
“We’re real locked in,”
Cowart told ESPN.com
after a visit to Auburn in
January. “(Muschamp)
made everything feel like
home. I was comfortable,
had fun, no stress, no worrying about anything.”

another consensus topfive player, and four-star
linebacker Jeffrey Holland
of Jacksonville also have
narrowed it down to Tigers
or Gators.
“It’s a different situation
for sure,” said J.C. Shurburtt, national recruiting
director for 247Sports. “If
you look back at the history
of the SEC, I can’t really
remember a time when
a head coach went as an
assistant to another school
and started recruiting for
that new school.”
Muschamp was 28-21 in
four mostly disappointing
seasons at Florida, but even
while his final year with
the Gators was unraveling he was still connecting
with recruits.
“I’ve never seen a head
coach who was dead man

Seahawks victory, he said.
Lynch’s subsequent run, bringing
the ball to the 1 with the clock ticking down, only fortified that impression.
Caoili’s video from the Super Bowl
— tickets $2,700 apiece, airfare and
lodging $1,400 — shows him chanting a mantra for Lynch to get the ball:
“Give it to him again, give it to him
again, give it to him again.”
The decision to pass, then, becomes
not just “the worst play call I’ve seen
in the history of football,” as Hall of
Fame running back Emmitt Smith
described it, but an affront to the
gods, a sort of cardinal sin punished
by instant karma: Butler’s goal-line
interception, and New England’s
fourth championship of the Tom
Brady-Bill Belichick era.
It was an epic failure, on par with
the ground ball through Bill Buckner’s legs that helped sink the 1986
Red Sox or the “wide right” field goal
attempt in 1991 that proved to be the
first of four consecutive Super Bowl
losses for the Buffalo Bills.
“Emotionally, it would have been
better to lose 43-8,” Caoili said, referring to the score by which the Seahawks beat Denver in last year’s
Super Bowl. “There’s nothing worse
than having it in your hand and losing it all.”

UK moves toward making babies from DNA of 3 people
BY MARIA CHENG
AP Medical Writer
LONDON — Britain
moved Tuesday toward
allowing scientists to create humans from the DNA
of three people.
The technology aims to
liberate future generations
from inherited diseases,
but critics say it crosses
a fundamental scientific
boundary and could lead
to “designer babies.”
The U.K.’s House of
Commons voted 382-178
in favor of legislation to
license these experiments.
If approved in the House
of Lords, Britain would
become the world’s first
nation to allow genetic
modifications in human
embryos.
“This is a bold step to
take, but it is a considered
and informed step,” Health
Minister Jane Ellison told
the Commons.
The technology is completely different from that
used to create genetically
modified foods, where scientists typically select individual genes to be transferred from one species
into another.
But critics say it crosses
a red line, since changes
made to embryos will be
passed on to future generations, with the potential for unforeseen consequences.
While this legislation was
drafted specifically to grant
permission only for certain specified techniques,
critics fear it will encourage scientists to push for
other experiments in the
future.
The protests are “about

protecting children from
the severe health risks of
these unnecessary techniques and protecting
everyone from the eugenic
designer-baby future that
will follow from this,” said
David King, director of the
secular watchdog group
Human Genetics Alert.
The technology altering
a human egg or embryo
before transferring it into a
mother with defects in her
mitochondria, the energyproducing structures outside a cell’s nucleus. These
genetic defects can result
in diseases including muscular dystrophy, heart, kidney and liver failure and
severe muscle weakness.
Scientists would remove
the nucleus DNA from
the egg of the prospective
mother and insert it into
a donor egg from which
the nucleus DNA has been
removed.
The resulting embryo
would have the nucleus
DNA from its parents but
the mitochondrial DNA
from the donor. This can
be done two ways — before
or after fertilization — in
the techniques approved
by the Commons.
Scientists say more than
99 percent of the DNA in
the resulting child would
come from its parents, with
a tiny fraction coming from
the donor egg.
Britain’s Chief Medical
To
vaccinate
or
not?
Debate tests first-time White House hopefuls
Officer, Dr. Sally Davies,
said the law would give
women with mitochondrial
disease “the opportunity
to have children without
passing on devastating
genetic disorders.”
Britain has long been
a leader in reproductive
technology; the world’s
first baby from in vitro fertilization, Louise Brown,
was born in the U.K. in
1978.
U.S. regulators are moving more slowly: Scientists
at a U.S. Food and Drug
Administration meeting
on the techniques last
year warned it could take
decades to determine if
they are safe.
Meanwhile, experts say
the techniques are likely
being used elsewhere, such
as in China and Japan, but
are mostly unregulated.

WASHINGTON — For a pair of
first-time presidential hopefuls,
the sudden injection of the childhood vaccine debate into the 2016
campaign is a lesson in how unexpected issues can become stumbling blocks. Long-held positions
can look different under the glare
of the national spotlight.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul,
both weighing bids for the GOP
presidential nomination, struggled this week to articulate their
views on the emotionally charged
vaccination controversy. Christie,
in the midst of a three-day trip to
the United Kingdom, canceled
plans to speak to reporters Tuesday after his comments a day earlier caused a stir.
“Is there something you don’t
understand about, ‘No questions’?”
Christie snapped at reporters
Tuesday.
While the vaccination debate
has long stoked passions, the matter has taken on new resonance
amid a frightening measles outbreak that has sickened more than
100 people across the U.S. and in
Mexico. The outbreak has revived
the discussion about parents who
choose not to vaccinate their children, some out of fear that vaccines can lead to autism and developmental disorders — a claim that
has been vigorously debunked by
medical researchers.
NEW YORK — “To Kill a
Mockingbird” will not be
Harper Lee’s only published
book after all.
Publisher Harper
announced Tuesday that
“Go Set a Watchman,” a
novel the Pulitzer Prizewinning author completed
in the 1950s and put aside,
will be released July 14.
Rediscovered last fall, “Go
Set a Watchman” is essen-
HOW LONG WILL IT GO ON?
It’s unclear whether the vaccine
issue will have a long shelf life in a
White House campaign that is only
just beginning. But the ways prospective candidates handle unanticipated issues can help determine
whether those subjects blow over
or become nagging distractions
that contenders can’t shake.

MOLLY RILEY | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI (RIGHT), director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health,
along with other top government health officials, testifies before the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee looking
into the effectiveness of vaccines in the wake of a measles outbreak and the exceptionally severe flu season, Tuesday
on Capitol Hill in Washington. Shown from left are Dr. Anne Schuchat, director, National Center for Immunization and
Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Dr. Karen Midthun, director, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, U.S. Food and Drug Administration; Dr. Robin Robinson, director Biomedical Advanced Research and

with a message to voters, and every
day there are a dozen trapdoors
you don’t want to fall into,” said
Robert Gibbs, a top adviser for
both of Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns.
“If you look at Chris Christie and
Rand Paul , they fell into the trapdoors yesterday.”
Christie’s and Paul’s assertions
that parents should have some
choice in basic vaccinations have
put other potential 2016 contenders on the spot on a topic that
was largely absent from political
discussions until this week and
does not break down along party
lines.
VOICING SUPPORT
Three potential GOP candidates voiced their support for vaccines Tuesday. Sen. Marco Rubio
of Florida said there was “absolutely no medical science or data
that links vaccination to autism.”
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said
it was “irresponsible for leaders
to undermine the public’s confidence in vaccinations that have
been tested and proven to protect
public health.” And Wisconsin
Gov. Scott Walker’s office said he
encouraged parents to have their
children vaccinated as he had.
Likely Democratic candidate
Hillary Rodham Clinton took to
Twitter, saying, “The science is
clear: The earth is round, the sky
is blue, and #vaccineswork. Let’s
protect all our kids.”
Obama urged parents this week
to get their children vaccinated
and said the science on the benefits was “indisputable.”
Study: Many herbal supplements aren’t what the label says
BY MARY ESCH
The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — Bottles
of Walmart-brand echinacea, an herb said to ward
off colds, were found to
contain no echinacea at
all. GNC-brand bottles of
St. John’s wort, touted as a
cure for depression, held
rice, garlic and a tropical
houseplant, but not a trace
of the herb.
In fact, DNA testing on
hundreds of bottles of
store-brand herbal supplements sold as treatments
for everything from memory loss to prostate trouble
found that four out of five
contained none of the herbs
on the label. Instead, they
were packed with cheap
fillers such as wheat, rice,
beans or houseplants.
Based on the testing commissioned by his office,
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman
said Tuesday he has sent
letters to the four major
store chains involved —
GNC, Target, Walmart and
Walgreens — demanding
that they immediately stop
selling adulterated or mislabeled dietary supplements.
Schneiderman said the
supplements pose serious
risks. People who have
allergies or are taking certain medications can suffer dangerous reactions
from herbal concoctions
that contain substances
not listed on the label, he

said. The herbal supplement industry criticized
the method used to analyze the samples and raised
questions about the reliability of the findings.
Walmart spokesman Brian Nick said the company
is reaching out to suppliers
and will take appropriate
action. Walgreen pledged
to cooperate with the attor-
ney general, who asked the
store chains for detailed
information on production
and quality control.
“We take these issues very
seriously and as a precautionary measure, we are in
the process of removing
these products from our
shelves as we review this
matter further,” Walgreen
spokesman James Graham
said.
GNC said it, too, will
cooperate, but spokeswoman Laura Brophy said:
“We stand by the quality,
purity and potency of all
ingredients listed on the
labels of our private-label
products.”
Target said it can’t comment without reviewing

tially a sequel to “To Kill a
Mockingbird,” although it
was finished earlier.
Reactions ranged from
euphoria (Oprah Winfrey
issued a statement saying,
“I couldn’t be happier if my
name was Scout”) to skepticism that the new book will
be of the same quality as
“Mockingbird.” Biographer
Charles J. Shields noted
that Lee was a “beginning
author” when she wrote
“Watchman.”
The 304-page book will be
Lee’s second, and her first
new work in print in more
than 50 years, among the
longest gaps in history for
a major writer.
“In the mid-1950s, I completed a novel called ‘Go Set
a Watchman,’” the 88-yearold Lee said in a statement
issued by Harper. “It features the character known
as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor,
who was taken by the flashbacks to Scout’s childhood,
persuaded me to write a
novel (what became ‘To Kill
a Mockingbird’) from the
point of view of the young
Scout.
“I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told. I
hadn’t realized it (the original book) had survived, so
was surprised and delighted
when my dear friend and
lawyer Tonja Carter discovered it.
After much thought and
hesitation, I shared it with
a handful of people I trust
and was pleased to hear that
they considered it worthy of
publication. I am humbled
and amazed that this will
now be published after all
these years.”
Financial terms were not
disclosed. “Watchman” will
be published in the United
Kingdom by William Heinemann, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

FINAL NOTICE AND PUBLIC EXPLANATION OF A PROPOSED ACTIVITY
IN A 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN
To: All interested Agencies-Federal, State, and Local-Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that the City of Townsend under CFR 24 Part 58 has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in
accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for
Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential
affect that its activity in the floodplain and wetland will have on the human environment for a Community Development Block Grant under the HUD B-14-DC47-0001 grant number. The proposed project is located along Webb Road in
The City of Townsend and within Blount County. The Webb Road waterline extension consists of approximately 14,000 LF of 8” waterline to be constructed
along Lovers Lane and Webb Road. The extension will provide alternate water
feed to the City of Townsend by connecting the existing 16” waterline on Lovers
Lane to the existing 8” waterline located at the intersection of Webb Road and
Lamar Alexander Highway. The portions of the waterline within the floodplain
(Carr Creek Tributaries) extend approximately 2100+ beginning at the intersection of Lovers Lane and in a southern direction along Webb Road; approximately 250+ linear feet of waterline between Townsend Church of God and
Berry Williams Road; and approximately 530+ extending in a southerly direction
between Musket Ridge Drive and the Intersection of Webb Road and Lamar
Alexander Highway. This section of the waterline will be attached to the new
bridge along Webb Road crossing over the Little River. Total area within floodplain is approximately 1 acre+. The proposed project is located within the
Right-of-Way of Webb Road within the City of Townsend.
The City of Townsend has considered the following alternatives and mitigation
measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve
natural and beneficial values:
1) There are only temporary adverse environmental consequences anticipated
from the waterline construction within the floodplain; however, to minimize
these, every effort will be made to manage water runoff and erosion through the
use of silt barriers and trenches where applicable.
2) Upon construction completion, the disturbed areas will be sown with native
type plantings to restore and preserve the area's natural and beneficial values.

1) Only the waterline will be constructed within the floodplain. Because of the
depth of the line buried underground, there is no adverse impact to or encroachment upon the floodplain that would impede the flow of water during a
100-year flood event;
2) The waterline will be constructed within the exiting right-of-way along Webb
Road (where previous construction has occurred) to provide an alternate water
supply route in the event of a break in the main feed line along Cameron Road
and the abandoned Wilson Bridge;

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their
concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate
public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of
these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must
inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

RELEASE OF FUNDS
The City of Townsend certifies to the Tennessee Department of Economic and
Community Development that Mayor Michael Talley in his capacity as Mayor
consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought
to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and
that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The Tennessee Department of
Economic and Community Development (ECD) approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of Townsend to use program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Townsend certification for
a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual
receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following
basis:
(a) The certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of
Townsend;
(b) The City of Townsend has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or
finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58;
The City of Townsend has reevaluated the alternatives to constructing waterlines in the floodplain and has determined that it has no practicable alternative.
Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, are available for public inspection, review and
copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph
of this notice for receipt of comments. This activity will have no significant impact on the environment for the following reasons:
Written comments must be received by the City of Townsend at the following
address on or before February 11, 2014: The City of Townsend, 133 Tiger Dr.,
P.O. Box 307, Townsend, TN 37882 and by telephone at 865-448-6886, Attention: Michael Talley, Mayor. Comments may also be submitted or further information can be requested via email at [email protected]. A full description of

Daily Bridge Club
By FRANK STEWART
Tribune Content Agency
I found Cy the Cynic in the lounge,
writing his monthly alimony check
— what he sourly calls a “pay-afteryou-go” plan. Later, Cy tried to
recoup in a penny game. But Ed, the
club expert, was there. He regularly
takes Cy’s money.
Ed was declarer at 6NT. He took
the ace of hearts and then the A-K of
spades. When West showed out,
down one looked certain, but dummy
next led a club. Cy, East, played low,
and Ed’s queen won.
Then came five diamond tricks. Cy
pitched two hearts and a club. Ed
threw a spade and, on the last
diamond, his king of hearts.
What do you say?
ANSWER: Slam is possible,
perhaps certain. To flash a slam
signal and get partner’s cooperation,
jump-shift to two spades. At your
next turn you’ll bid 3NT, saying that
your slam interest was based on a
strong, balanced hand. If partner has
any extra values — K 7, Q J 7 6 5,
A 3 2, K J 2 — he’ll go on. If he
opened on K 7, J 7 6 5 4, A Q 3,
K 3 2, he’ll stop.

LOW SPADE
Dummy next led the queen of
hearts, and the Cynic could turn in his
sword. If he threw a spade, Ed would
have five diamonds, four spades, two
hearts and a club. When Cy bared his
ace of clubs, Ed discarded his last
low spade, led a club from dummy to
Cy’s ace, and won the last two tricks
with the queen of spades and the king
of clubs.
Our penny game is pay-as-you-go.
Cy had to pay off before he went out
the door.

HOROSCOPE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2015:
This year you evolve to a new
level of understanding with others.
You often feel as if you stumble
into one obstacle after another,
but you will have the resources to
pull yourself out of any potential
quicksand.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★★ You will be coming off
of an unusually busy period, where
you felt as though you were going
from one problematic area to
another.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★★★ You could be in a position where you want to break away
from it all. On some level, your
reaction to pressure is part of what
causes so many challenging situations.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★★ You have a lot to say,
and you are going to say it. The
problem lies in the fact that no one
is likely to really absorb the meaning behind your words. Y
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ You are full of energy and
fun; however, your finances could
spiral out of control. Some form
of overindulgence is likely to rear
its ugly head. You probably won’t
even thinking about what you are
doing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★★ You might be running
on fumes, but you’ll be enjoying
every moment. It wouldn’t hurt to
stop and relish this period. If you
have something of significance to
do, do it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★ You might want to
get away from your daily routine.
Choose a relaxing activity that
you enjoy. Consider taking a nap or
going to a movie.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★★ Friends surround you,
which will make it easy to enjoy
yourself and get into the moment.
You might be questioning what
would best to do under the circumstances.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★ Realize that you are in the
limelight and your actions will be
observed. Even if you believe otherwise, the truth will reveal itself
soon enough. Do only what you
must today.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★★ Reach out to someone
at a distance who means a lot to
you. Make time to catch up on this
person’s news. You might want
to think carefully about some of
what you are hearing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★ An associate or loved
one is likely to take charge. Kick
back and enjoy a day off. Of course
it will be hard to release your need
for control, but if you don’t, you
could have a power play on your
hands.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★★ Defer to others, and
welcome a conversation. Your
friendly, outgoing personality tends to melt barriers, which
allows more give-and-take. Keep it
easy and relaxed. It is important to
have a few calm hours to yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★ Pace yourself, and know
that you have a lot to do. You could
be overwhelmed by all the choices
you have. Realize that this is not
the kind of day that you’ll want to
make a decision.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Knight hospitalised
after court plea
COMPTON, Calif. —
Former rap music mogul
Suge Knight pleaded
not guilty Tuesday to
murder and attempted
murder
charges
before
complaining of
chest pain
and being
rushed to a
Suge
hospital.
Knight
No further information
about his condition was
immediately available,
Los Angeles County
sheriff’s Officer John
Gardner said.
Knight’s attorney
David Kenner said he
was on the way to the
hospital to see his client but had no further
details.
Knight wore orange jail
attire at the court appearance where he entered
not guilty pleas to four
felonies, including hitand-run charges, filed
after the Death Row
Records founder struck
two men with his pickup
truck last week.
The 49-year-old
Knight could face life in
prison if convicted.
Knight is charged with
killing Terry Carter, 55,
and attempting to kill
Cle “Bone” Sloan, 51,
in a burger stand parking lot after an argument.
Hollywood and
Havana inch closer
LOS ANGELES — Fermin Rojas was thick
into filming his documentary on Cuban artists in Havana when a
small wire connecting
a camera to a monitor
snapped. It took three
days to find another.
For years, a small contingent of U.S. directors
and producers has managed to legally travel
and film in Cuba despite
the U.S. embargo against
the island, navigating a
maze of ever-changing
U.S. Treasury Department regulations to get
approval.
Under President
Barack Obama’s
new Cuba regulations,
experts and filmmakers say their work could
become considerably
easier.
