@TaMarynWaters on Twitter
Will Packer was a student at Florida

A&M University when the group N.W.A.
polarized the nation with gritty street stories and in-your-face lyrics.
From the East Coast to the West Coast,
fans loved them. Packer did, too, popping
cassette tapes and bobbing his head to
songs like Straight Outta Compton, Express Yourself and (Bleep) the Police.
Dubbed as the worlds Most Dangerous
Group, N.W.A. was feared by mainstream
America. The media, FBI and local law enforcement viewed the group with suspicion. As N.W.As popularity grew, so did
calls to censor lyrics laced with gang violence and misogyny.
Two decades and over a dozen films later, Packer is part of the story.

Tallahassee appears certain to be
split between Districts 2 and 5
Bill Cotterell and Jeff Burlew
Democrat senior writers
With their special legislative session set to end

at noon today, House and Senate leaders were in
stark disagreement over congressional redistricting Thursday night.
One thing that appears certain, though, is that
Tallahassee will be split between a newly configured District 5, a minority-access district running from downtown Jacksonville to Gadsden
County, and a redrawn District 2 that extends
from the Panama City area to near Ocala.
State Rep. Alan Williams, D-Tallahassee, made
one last try at keeping all of Tallahassee in one
district Thursday but his amendment died in a
voice vote. Williams pleaded
with his colleagues to support COMING
his amendment, which would
have kept the city and most of SUNDAY

of us want to do that, especially
when we look at our congressional delegations,
Williams said.
Rep. Jose Oliva, R-Hialeah and chairman of
the House redistricting committee, said he
couldnt support Williams proposal because it reduced minority voters in the proposed 5th District and split Baker and Volusia counties.
The House then debated a few other nip and
tuck changes to the plan passed by the Senate on
Wednesday, and passed its version in a 60-38 vote.
That sends the measure (HB 1B) back to the Senate for action today.
Sen. Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, and Oliva met

@TaMarynWaters on Twitter
Straight Outta Compton is straight up genius,

film and pop culture experts with Tallahassee ties say.
The box-office hit chronicles the rise and fall of
N.W.A. and cements the legacy of the late Eric Eazy-E Wright, the leader; Andre Dr. Dre Young, the
beat maker; and OShea Ice Cube Jackson; the street
poet, and other members as gangster rap pioneers.
From 1986 to 1991, coupled with a partial reunion
from 1998 to 2002, the group produced songs unlike
anything on the radio. That makes the biopic a history
lesson.

U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida Pamela C. Marsh announced on Thursday she
will retire Sept. 4, after more than five years as the

Marsh, who was appointed in June 2010, was
the first woman to represent the Northern District of Florida.
It was a tremendous honor to

Tallahassee PD releases
sketch of suspect in
attempted abduction
Trump up, Clinton

down in new poll
Nubyjas Wilborn
The News Service of Florida

@nwilborn19 on Twitter
During a press conference Thursday, the Tallahassee Police Department

released a composite sketch of a suspect in an alleged abduction attempt.
Around midnight Wednesday, the
victim was on the bike trail in the 500
block of Chapel Drive. According to the
police department, she was grabbed
from behind. She yelled and was able to
get away. The suspect ran away.
Based on the sketch, the alleged suspect is in his mid-20s, bald, with a dark
complexion. He is about 5 feet 9 inches
and has a medium build. Description of
the suspect came from a victim in a prior case.
This is the sixth abduction attempt
reported to TPD since February. There
is another attempt that is being handled
by the Leon County Sheriffs Department.
As of now we have no evidence to
link these cases together, Police Chief
Michael DeLeo said. We have different vehicle descriptions; one was a
white sedan and the other was a pickup
truck. They were different times of
day, and spread out over six months.
DeLeo asked for the community to
call 891-4200 with any information on
the crimes and gave a safety reminder

Always travel in groups and stay in
well-lit areas, DeLeo said. Keep your
cellphone in an easily accessible position. Dont wear headphones that will
keep you from hearing someone approaching you from behind.
Danny becomes first hurricane

of 2015 Atlantic storm season
Doyle Rice
USA Today
Hurricane Danny formed Thursday, becoming the first hurricane this

year in the Atlantic Ocean, the National Hurricane Center said.
As of 11 a.m. ET, Danny had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, making it a Category 1 hurricane. It had
been a tropical storm since Tuesday.
The hurricane was moving to the
west-northwest at 12 mph and was
1,090 miles east of the Caribbeans
Windward Islands. It should hit the islands early Monday and potentially
strike Puerto Rico by Tuesday.
The storm is quite small, with hurricane-force winds extending only 10
miles, the hurricane center said. Its so
small that you could fit 321 Dannys
into Hurricane Sandy, Weather Channel meteorologist Nick Wiltgen tweeted.

Drought is plaguing many of the
Caribbean islands, so rainfall from a
tropical system would be welcome in
many places, AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.
More than 63 percent of Puerto Rico is now in a drought, prompting the
U.S. territory this month to enact severe water-rationing measures.
July was the fourth-driest month on
record in the capital of San Juan since
1898, with only 1.6 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service.
Tropical storms Ana, Bill and Claudette formed earlier in the year but
never reached hurricane strength.

Hillary Clintons poll numbers are

Brown said in comments released with
the poll results. She is now getting less
than half the vote in all three states
Democratic primaries.
The poll, conducted from Aug. 7 to
Tuesday, showed Trump with support
from 21 percent of registered Florida
Republicans, while Bush was at 17 percent and Rubio and physician Ben Carson were at 11 percent. The difference
between Trump and Bush was within a
4.5 percentage-point margin of error for
the Republican portion of the poll.
But the results are substantially different from a June poll that showed
Bush, who was twice elected Florida
governor, with the support of 20 percent
of the states GOP voters and Rubio at 18
percent. Trump received only 3 percent
in the June poll.

The poll, released Thursday, indicates that New York developer and television personality Donald Trump has

Marco Rubio in the Republican presidential primary in Florida.
The poll also shows that Democratic
front-runner Hillary Clinton trails by
double digits in general-election matchups with Bush and Rubio in Florida, a
pivotal state in the 2016 presidential
race. Quinnipiac also conducted polls in
Ohio and Pennsylvania, with voters in all

briefly after the House adjourned and

showed no signs of budging from either
chambers position. The redistricting
chairmen expressed a desire to keep
working together, but neither showed
any signs of compromise.
The Senate is not prepared to back
away from these changes, Galvano
said of alterations made by his chamber
on Wednesday.
We are both in a very difficult position, Oliva said.
House Democrats continued to criticize the latest plan from the lower chamber, partly on the grounds that it does
not take into consideration population
gains in Florida over the past few years.
This map will have problems and is
not constitutional, said Rep. Mark Pafford of West Palm Beach, Democratic
leader in the House.
Reshaping districts in the Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota County
area was at the core of the House-Senate
dispute. The leaders argued over how
best to split as few cities as possible and
maintain compact districts.
The big issue for North Florida
mandated by the Supreme Court in its
July 9 order involved how to realign
the district of Rep. Corrine Brown, DJacksonville, one of three black members Florida sent to Congress in 1992.
Her district, the 5th, now runs from
Jacksonville to Orlando, embracing
pockets of black precincts along the
way, but the court determined that was
done to pack as many black Democrats
as possible into her district leaving
surrounding districts heavily white and
Republican.

She could also run statewide for the U.S.

Awareness - Must be able to read

A Segways top speed is 12.5 miles

per hour. It can stop quicker than a

Those who want to implant Segways and pedicabs into downtown

Tallahassee are pushing for City

In tweaking its decades-old
Parks and Recreation ordinance,
the city of Tallahassee threw a
wrench in the plans of Segway tour
and pedicab companies by adding
them to the list of vehicles banned
from city parks along with with
animal-drawn carriages, motorized wheelchairs and golf carts.
Now the city is working toward
a compromise with the pedicab

to use the citys parks.
The move to ban them was to ensure the safety of runners and

No, this is not a question that ends with a

The answer is: When it comes to stifling competition, nothing.
A recent story in the Democrat about interstate
reciprocity for lawyers reminds us very much of the
ongoing national debate of Uber vs. cab drivers.
In this case, the cab drivers are Florida lawyers
who want to use reciprocity rules as a way to stifle
competition.
The issue came before the Florida Bar Board of
Governors last month and statewide town hall meetings have been scheduled to foster further discussion.
Florida is one of only 11 states that do not have any
kind of reciprocity with other state bars.
Attorneys who oppose reciprocity make no bones
about their reason: stifling competition. Theres no
question theres some self-protection about this,
Palm Beach attorney Lloyd Schwed, who is leading
the charge against the proposal, told the News Service of Florida. But the simplest way I can put it is,
why would you want to license a bunch of out-of-state
lawyers who want to practice law here who are too
lazy to study for two months and take a test and
prove their competency? Its not good for the Florida
citizens. Its not good for the Florida lawyers. Its
only good for the out-of-state lawyers.
Schweds two month timeline is disingenuous at
best.
Even if new lawyers successfully study for and
pass the bar exam a process that almost always
takes longer than two months another tactic used
by the Florida Bar is forcing applicants to go through
Ad to replace Mangum: Only male

puppets need apply.
a lengthy, onerous, invasive licensure process, often

lasting many additional months after passage of the
bar exam.
Out-of-state lawyers routinely find that the entire
process lasts more than a year as bar investigators
pry into every nook and cranny of an applicants life.
All of this is calculated to discourage competition,
just like taxi drivers lobbying for medallion prices to
skyrocket.
But consumers are getting more savvy. In an increasingly mobile society, jurisdictional lines dont
mean what they used to.
Further, its not like the proposal being floated by
the Bar just lets in anybody with a law degree.
According to the NSF, the following requirements
would be in effect:
Out-of-state lawyers who have been practicing
for at least five of the past seven years before they
apply would be eligible.
Admission by motion would only be available
to lawyers who are from states that allow Florida Bar
members to practice without a written or oral exam.
Admission by motion would only be available to
lawyers who havent failed the Florida Bar exam
within five years of applying.
Applicants would also have to have a law degree
from law schools approved by the American Bar
Association at the time they graduated.
If there is no market for more out-of-state lawyers, they will come down to Florida and fail. If there
is, then the Florida Bar should embrace the limited
competition.
But using onerous licensure restrictions to stifle
competition is not a good answer. As the taxi cab lobby is learning, in the end, consumers will find a way
to use the services that suit them best.
| LETTERS AND FEEDBACK |
Why has everyone decided that the

problem is Rufus and not Elmira?
Why is she sacrosanct?
Thank you, J. Everett Drew. We
need a change in city leadership.
After repeated attempts to fix
FAMUs problems with a new
president, maybe its time to try an
all new board of trustees.
Nothing like the possibility of Leon
County being represented by
someone in Jacksonville and Ocala.
No problem there.
Six FAMU presidents in 13 years tells
me all I need to know about Rufus
and the BOT.
Just received news of my house
valuation increase. If the property
tax rate goes up do we call that
double taxation?
Is it too early to say that if your poll
numbers are lower than
Huckabees, youre not going to be
the next president?
Tallahassee is the 11th most
educated city in the U.S. I presume
the survey was taken after the
Legislature had left town.
Since we cant fill Bragg Stadium
half way, it is obviously time to
double its capacity.
If MMA cage fighting is not as
brutal and savage as it appears,
MMA opponents are far better at
faking their performance than are
professional wrestlers.
Your light just turned green? Slowly
count to five while watching the
red light runners before you
proceed.
What I cant understand is why the
FAMU BOT keeps letting Chairman
Montgomery embarrass them all.
We can live with the proposed
property tax increase every
Tallahassee resident just needs to
eat one fewer meal at a restaurant
each month.

EDITORIAL
BOARD
ANDY MARLETTE/PENSACOLA NEWS JOURNAL
Here are some online reader reactions to our editorial

calling for FAMU to fix its problems, whatever it
takes:
Scott Richardson: You want to fix FAMU, then start
with the board.
Deborah Lloyd: Is the foundation being laid for the
toppling of FAMU? I dont know or care who is at
fault; I care that this great institution continues to
stand and flourish.
Kofi Lomotey: This is, I believe, an excellent, clear, to
the point and highly relevant opinion. Perhaps more
importantly (and maybe sadly), it could have been
written about almost any of our HBCUs. Unfortunately, in too many instances in our schools, the actors
behave in a way painfully similar to the scenario described by this author. Wake up!
Christopher Carter: I understand that the school was
implemented to address historical injustices. However, how can those be remedied by attending a scholastic institution seemingly plagued by dysfunction from
the top down? Isnt that actually committing a disservice to the students? College is difficult as it is
already.
Rick Kinsey: Finally. Alumni, we must stand strong
and allow the president to do her job. In the best interest of this university, Rufus should step down so
FAMU can move forward. Rattlers, remember we
selected this president to lead us, not the BOT. BOT
what have you done lately for this great institution?
Show us your success record and what corporate dollars you have brought to the university. Lastly, why
must this fight play out publicly? From a life member
and a legacy of family members, I am a proud Rattler.
Clinton Byrd: The Governor and the Board of Governors need to stop appointing individuals to our board
for political reasons. This is detrimental to the long
term viability of FAMU. Whatever the Governors
litmus test is, it is not working. FAMU will have several vacancies to fill on its Board of Trustees as of January 2016. The Board of Trustees and the President of
FAMU should seek out individuals who love our institution and have the credentials to be of valuable
service, ask them to apply and then nominate them for
consideration. We should also begin to demand that
SKIP FOSTER, President & Publisher

trustees who have served us well be reappointed. The

current chairman of the FAMU Board of Trustees
does not have the support of the alumni and its constituents and seems intent on having his way. However well-intentioned his actions might be, they are definitely not in the best interest of FAMU.
William Wood: The BOT has the interests of FAMU in
its sights 90 percent are alumni. Please tell me
what Mangum has done to contribute to FAMUs success.
Jerry Alan Kimbro: I think a solution would be to
merge FSU and FAMU. Its happening geographically
anyway. It could become FSAMU. The days of having
a separate state college for African Americans is long
long past. And its appallingly racist. Further, does it
make sense to have two universities with the same
academic programs in the same town competing for
state dollars, when one university could combine
these professors and their knowledge and create a
better university as whole for students and alumni?
Mikal Jelani Caldwell: Yeah, FAMU is historically
black, not exclusively black. Anyone can apply, but if
young white kids dont want to consider an HBCU,
thats not racism on the universitys side. And merging isnt the answer either because they each offer
leading programs and educational distinctions that
would be lost in a merge. If the state gave anywhere
near the resources and attention to FAMU that they do
to FSU, these problems could have been addressed
effectively years ago. Unfortunately, we dont have as
many alumni as legislators, or a lobbyist as a president.
Mike Deming: Ive worked with boards and served on
boards. It is like a cancer when you have such a board
member. It takes away from the boards mission, vision and sours the entire board. There are some politics involved in this that make it worse. The whole
push, as I see it, is to make the FAMU president chase
all these rabbits so that she cannot do her job.
Dan Nolan: Seriously, has the board ever been behind
her? Did they set expectations during the interview
process? So her worst attribute is she isnt a alumni?
Scott Sheplak: Need to hit a redo button in my opinion.

truths about great leadership

immediately following
graduation and
working with giants
like President B. L.

and forceful with powerful egos to
match their considerable accomplishments. Sometimes their egos clashed,
and many times I was a witness to the
storm when their professional aims
crossed boundaries and invaded the
others space.
But they never forgot that FAMU
came first. Their anger never rose to
the level of acrimony. And it was never
witnessed by the public or even around
FAMU employees unfamiliar with the
full context in which they sometimes
expressed dissatisfaction about anything.
I was in President Perrys office late
one evening, helping him get ready for
an Orange Blossom Classic meeting the
next morning. The Orange Blossom
Classic was a FAMU creation that rose
to become the nations most prominent
postseason black college championship
game. We were just about to leave when
Coach Gaither called. I sat frozen with
anxiety as clearly the exchange had

Most objectionable was providing
such a book as required reading for
impressionable freshmen and sophomores when there are so many other
book options.
The Democrats opinions piece
concludes, if you get a few friends
to join you in applying a little pressure, your school will sell out academic freedom just to keep the peace.
May I remind the editors, it was not
too long ago that a few friends got
together objecting to the way their
children were being taught, having a
lack of equal resources and equal
treatment. So began the civil rights
movement in the 1950s, a time during
which I was raised and a movement
which I supported.
I raised my children in the 80s and
now actively watch my grandchildren
growing. My generation, disappointingly so, provided the stage for
George Carlin to break profanity barriers. Are we better for it? Is the introduction of profanity-laced books to

seemed to be about the band and the
length of its halftime performance.
When the call ended, Perry said, I
cut it short because it was clear that we
were not making progress. I must have
looked worried because he said, Eddie,
my good man, it is going to work itself
out.
The next morning the atmosphere in
the room was uneasy, as all the committee members seemed to be aware that a
contentious issue was on the table.
President Perry came through the door
trailed by smoke from a burning cigar
he held between his fingers.
As soon as Perry entered, Gaither
stood up with that famous smile, shook
Perrys hand and said, Mr. President, I
was just telling Dr. Foster about the
wonderful work his band is doing and
how much the Marching 100 means to
the success of the Orange Blossom
Classic.
To my astonishment, Foster then
joined the men and said, Mr. President,
I informed Gaither that the band is
simply trying to spread excellence so
we can be as good as his football team.
Perry then pulled Gaither and Foster
over to the corner of the room and whispered something; all three broke out in
riotous laughter. It was as if someone
had opened a window and the tension
began to evaporate with the rising outdoor sun.
They were great leaders who never
forgot that FAMUs enemy was not in
the room it was out there somewhere,
plotting its latest chicanery on one of
Floridas greatest treasures.
FAMUs Board of Trustees and its
administration should follow their lead
and always remember: When dark

malleable teenagers something to

be proud of as a society?
This is not a 1st Amendment
issue. This is about what kind of
behavior and values we want our
future leaders to have. Unfortunately, children see profanity on the
Internet, between their own
friends, video games and movies
already. Does that give license to
our schools to go along with such
inappropriate thinking? Is it right
to condone the reading of age-inappropriate books simply because
there are those speaking through
this forum who believe early highschool-aged children have already
heard it all?
This is the whole concept of indoctrination through presenting
things we previously knew were
wrong and bombarding us with
them until society finally accepts it
as normal.
Secondly, does this better or
degrade us as a community and a
nation? We have had some beginning discussions on serious concerns of violence, the breakdown of
families and how it affects children
and our society. We have a long way
to go, but at least the discussion has
started.
My view is that allowing such
literature to freshmen and sophomores who are still developing their
personal values is yet another negative influence and added impediment to families wishing to raise
their children in a wholesome environment.
We all share the overall goal of
wanting our children become firmly-grounded, happy, productive
members of society. Shouldnt we
give them a fighting chance?

A rags-to-rap riches story

The 1996 FAMU graduate, entrepreneur and filmmaker is one of the executive producers for Straight Outta
Compton a critical and commercial
hit that raked in $60.2 million in its opening weekend, earning more than twice
what it cost to produce on the way to becoming the fifth-highest August opener
in history.
This movie is so different than any
other movie Ive ever been involved in
and not just on genre and the fact that its
a biopic, Packer told the Tallahassee
Democrat. It has a depth to it ... about a
real slice of life and a real period of time
that I remember.
He remembers the thick gold rope
chains.
He remembers the black and white
Raiders caps and bomber jackets.
He remembers fresh white Adidas
sneakers and black straight leg jeans.
He remembers the unapologetic attitude.
N.W.A. pulled no punches. Fans
couldnt get enough. Songs, largely produced from 1986 to 1991, weaved a storyline long ignored by outsiders. Straight
Outta Compton captures a rags-to-rap
riches story and the groups legacy as
pioneers of gangster rap.
The movie also portrays themes of
poverty, race and overzealous police officers.
One scene from the movie shows
members, including OShea Jackson,
aka Ice Cube, and Andre Young, aka Dr.
Dre, filing onto a Compton street corner.
They were taking a break from recording when they were approached by belligerent L.A. police officers.
Close-ups show raw cheeks slammed
against concrete and bound hands. Officers hurled insults like footballs. The
scene, Packer said, resonates today with
frustrated minorities and others who
feel officers have unjustly killed or in-

Hip-hop is cultural enough in that it

has a history that matters. Its a great
thing that the people who believe are not
just the African American community,
said Barry Faulk, an associate professor
who has taught pop culture at Florida
State University.
He said the group is a fixture in pop
culture. N.W.A.s music carried a message, whether liked or loathed, that
much of todays commercialized rap
songs lack.
They were the first ones to put that
kind of energy out there, said Akil DuPont, a Tallahassee native who earned a
bachelors degree in economics at Florida A&M and a masters degree in film
production at Florida State.
DuPont, who teaches film production
at Clinton State University in Atlanta,
applauded movie producers for releasing the film on Aug. 14, when other movie
debuts werent an issue.

Will Packer, a 1996 FAMU graduate, entrepreneur and filmmaker, is one of the executive
producers for Straight Outta Compton.
jured blacks in high-profile cases. Packer talked about the black men who have
died at the hands of policemen: Michael
Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Eric Garner in New York and Freddie Gray in
Baltimore.
Its almost prophetic in a way because the film is now speaking to issues
that people want to talk about in current
society, he explained during a 20-minute telephone interview.
Thats incredible because this film
obviously took place in the early 90s, yet
especially when you talk about oppression, police brutality and the disenfranchisement of black youth, these themes
still resonate heavily today.
For this reason, the biopic has a deeper meaning for Packer compared to his
other work, which include seven No. 1
films: No Good Deed (2014), Think
Like A Man Too (2014), Ride Along
(2014), Think Like A Man (2012), Takers (2010), Obsessed (2008) and
Stomp the Yard (2007).
He used a football analogy to describe his role as executive producer in
The social media campaign was also

stellar, DuPont said. All over Facebook
and Instagram, people layered avatars
with Straight Outta ... memes.
It was a genius campaign, he said.
While the movie has been praised by
critics nationwide, its also attracted
controversy due to lawsuits involving
some former N.W.A. members.
The biopic also depicts important contemporary parallels. The group described harassment by police officers.
Twenty years later, run-ins captured on
cellphone videos showing the shooting
or mistreatment of minorities at the
hands of officers have sparked outrage
and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The movie couldnt be more timely.
If for no other reason it highlights the
persistence of policing in America and in
the African-American community specifically, Faulk said.
Chris Faupel, president and creative
director of the Tallahassee Film Festival,
agreed.
Even though its telling the story of
something that happened 20 years ago,
its still very relevant today, he said. I
think thats whats helping the film a lot.
Straight Outta Compton. The director

is the quarterback. The producer is the
head coach. The executive producer is
like the front office and general manager, who works closely with the owners
of the team.
Movie director F. Gary Gray and Ice
Cube one of the movies producers
who is played by his son, OShea Jackson
Jr. shopped N.W.A.s story around
Hollywood for seven years, Packer said.
He got involved around three years ago
due to his relationship with Universal
Pictures, which fast-tracked the project.
The $800 million man

Packer, 41, believed in the movie but
seeing its success only affirms what he
already knew this story needed to be
told.
To have a 90s biopic about rappers,
Packer said, with a chuckle, be No. 1 at
the box office with $60-plus million, starring basically five unknown kids, that
makes Hollywood pay attention. And, I
assure you, it will open the door for simi-
lar stories to be told.

And his story is one worth telling.
At FAMU he discovered his affinity
for filmmaking, although he always
wanted to be an entrepreneur. He linked
up with fellow student and business
partner Rob Hardy and the two created
Rainforest Films in 1994.
Their first movie was Chocolate
City, which was shot at FAMU and parts
of Tallahassee. Hes been lauded as an
outstanding alumni, featured as a commencement speaker and given the Meritorious Achievement Award, FAMUs
highest honor.
Packers films have grossed more
than $800 million. As an entrepreneur,
his first million was sweet motivation.
When you do, thats huge because
you have that feeling of accomplishment, he said. But also I remember
thinking If I can make a million, I can
make 10. If I can make 10, I can make
20, Packer said.
I remember that it became something that pushed me and I wanted to go
further.
The father of four, who is also engaged, said being an entrepreneur is the
hardest job he has ever had. But he has
never been happier. Being his own boss
just feels too good.
But if you believe in yourself so
strongly, so fiercely and so passionately,
it wont matter, Packer said. Ultimately, others will see that, and others will
believe in you as well.

CrossFit gyms
Justified
location moves
to Junction
Nubyjas Wilborn
@nwilborn19 on Twitter
CrossFit Tallahassee has moved its

Justified location from Northwest Passage. The gym, one of three owned by
Greg Keeter, is now in The Junction, 2131
Jackson Bluff Road.
Monday was the first day for the new
box. It has a different vibe from CrossFit
Killearn off Kerry Forest Parkway and
the original CrossFit Tallahassee on Capital Circle SE. The new spot is in part
meant to appeal to college students in the
area.
The new location is more convenient
to our clientele and is a better facility in
general, Keeter said.
Justified is the first business to open
in the still-developing 30,000-squarefoot property. Keeters gym will take up
8,500 and bolsters The Junction as it continues to seek new businesses.
Their culture of promoting functional fitness fits what were trying to promote, Parker Little, property manager
for the Junction. Gregs business model
is about building community and promoting health. Its a very interesting
business model.
Community building has proven successful for Keeter.
Our community is driven by the
common workout that we all do, Keeter
said the workout of the day (WOD). The
WOD is the backbone of our community
because it is what unites us all. It is a
common experience that gives us something to talk about.
He doesnt subscribe to the normal
gym model that counts on the majority of

Scott: State running out of

money for attracting jobs
Gary Fineout
Associated Press
Gov. Rick Scott, reigniting a budget

fight with the Republican-controlled
Florida Legislature, says the state is
nearly out of money to lure companies
to Florida.
Scott delivered that stinging message Thursday during a meeting of the
board of directors of Enterprise Florida
Inc., the states economic development
agency that met in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Scott and Enterprise Florida officials say the state has only about $9 million left in the main account it uses to offer incentives for companies. Bill Johnson, the president and CEO of Enterprise Florida, said that money will likely
be gone in weeks.
We will not able to get deals done going forward, Scott said.
Scott asked the Florida Legislature
for $85 million this year to use for business incentives, but legislators set aside
about half that amount during a contentious special session where legislators
were divided over health care and the
state budget.
Republican legislators contend Enterprise Florida did not need as much
money as Scott wants because it has not
been spending all the money its gotten
in recent years. A recent budget document prepared by the Legislature states
that since 2009, more than $37 million
has been returned to the state because it
wasnt spent by Enterprise Florida.
That has prompted legislators to ratchet down how much they have appropriated. This year there was $43 million
provided a decrease from more than
$66 million in 2014.
I understand the desire for unfettered funds for Enterprise Florida,
said Rep. Clay Ingram, a Pensacola Republican and chairman of the House
budget committee that oversees Enterprise Florida. The challenge is that we
are dealing with taxpayer funds, not private funds. I am certainly open to any
ways we can improve the process which
must strike a balance between flexibility and accountability.
But Johnson, who said much of the
money is already in escrow for previous
JAMES BORCHUCK,THE TAMPA BAY TIMES/AP
Florida Gov. Rick Scott visited Florida Tank/ Florida Structural Steel near Gibsonton on
Tuesday to praise new jobs the company added in recent months. Scott says the state is
nearly out of money intended to attract jobs.
A recent budget document prepared by the

Legislature states that since 2009, more than
$37 million has been returned to the state
because it wasnt spent by Enterprise Florida.
deals or is connected to pending deals,
said the organization is already warning
local economic development agencies
the state may not be able to help them.
Many times the state matches local incentives offered by cities and counties
as part of a deal to convince a company
to relocate or expand in Florida.
Were definitely going to run out of
the money, Johnson said. This is what
I call a reality check.
Johnson had warned legislators earlier this year that they were not providing enough money for the organization
but some of his comments drew the ire
of Republican legislators in charge of
his budget. He told Enterprise Florida

board members that his organization
would be $45 million short if it closes on
all the pending deals now in the pipeline.
He said those projects would create
8,000 additional jobs.
Scott asked Enterprise Florida board
members who include other elected
officials as well as top business executives around the state to reach out to
legislators to ask for more money to
help the organization. Scott warned
Florida will not be able to match the job
creation numbers of states such as Texas if it does not have more money for incentives.

Panel finds frats rape

The suit also claims that Marks and
Gillum engaged in civil disobedience toward state law by refusing to vote on the
ordinances. Commissioner Scott Maddox, who was the only vote against tabling the item, said he could not support
a violation of state law.
Assistant City Attorney Louis Norvell said there is no reasonable cause to
seek fines against the individual commissioners because they were not involved in enacting the ordinances,
which would violate the state law.
We dont think it is lawful for the
Legislature to try to fine elected officials because of their status as local
elected officials, Norvell said.
The citys co-counsel Marc Fagel said
fining the city officials opens the door to
penalizing local officials across the
state. Forcing them into a vote is also
troubling, he said.
This is an individual penalty on commissioners based on the way they vote,
Fagel said. Without removing that
there is a cloud over elected officials.

About one in three jobs are vacant at nine of the nations regional Veterans Affairs health
care systems, leaving veterans
waiting weeks to get care.
Nationally, one in six positions
nearly 41,000 for critical intake workers, doctors, nurses and
assistants were unfilled as of midJuly, in part because of complex
hiring procedures and poor
recruitment, according to critics
of the nations network of 139
hospitals and clinics that treat
veterans.
The vacancy data obtained by
Jon Tester
EPA
USA TODAY
Dan Benishek
USA TODAY through the Freedom of Information Act offer the

first look at how serious staffing
issues are at some VA hospitals
and clinics.
At many locations, unfilled jobs
drive up appointment wait times.
USA TODAYs analysis found that
even a 1% increase in job vacancies contributes to more appointments being pushed past a
month-long wait.
Some of the highest vacancy
rates are for psychologists. In 13
regional health care systems, 40%
to 64% of psychologist positions

are vacant. Nationally, about 21%
of such positions are vacant.
It is unacceptable, said Sen.
Jon Tester, D-Mont., a member
of the Senate Veterans Affairs
committee. This is a problem
under bright sunlight now, and it
needs to be fixed.
Tester said he was particularly
concerned about mental health
needs. Data from the Veterans
Health Administration show that
the health care system in Fort
Harrison, Mont., which Tester
represents, has a vacancy rate of
44% for psychologists.
More than 5,100 additional
physicians are needed across the

VA system. Tester proposed a bill
that would increase the number
of medical residencies by 1,500, in
the hopes those doctors stay on.
On the House side, Rep. Dan
Benishek, R-Mich., a surgeon
who worked part-time as a contractor at a VA facility for 20
years, has proposed legislation
that would streamline hiring and
improve accountability.
Frankly, its a management
problem, Benishek said in July.
When you have to recruit 41,000
people there has to be a coordinated plan. And when you ask
them, theres nobody in charge.
According to the VA, hiring in
the past year matched the 9% attrition rate, and the department
actually added employees.
The agency hired an additional
1,000 physicians and 2,700
nurses in a 13-month period ending May 1.

July was the hottest recorded

at a time when worries over manmade global warming are reaching a boiling point.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

since records began in 1880.

July is typically the hottest

hottest months were in July 1998
and July 2010.
Bandar Mahshahr, Iran, set one
of the worlds most extreme heat
records on July 31. The air temperature of 115, combined with a
dew point of 90 degrees, created a
heat index of 165, NOAA said.
The NOAA announcement
comes on the same day that the
American Geophysical Union
(AGU) released a study saying
that man-made global warming
has made Californias historic
drought 15 to 20% worse than it
would have been otherwise.
MASSIMO PERCOSSI, EPA
Tourists in Rome use fans for relief

during a heat wave July 4.
The warming effect will also

likely make future droughts even
worse, and California could face
nearly permanent drought conditions by the second half of this
century, the study said.
Global warming
changes the
baseline amount
of water thats
available to us,
because it sends
water back into
the sky through
evaporation.
A. Park Williams, bioclimatologist
The warming temperatures are

making the drought worse because the extra heat draws mois-
ture out of plants and soil,

exacerbating the dryness.
A lot of people think that the
amount of rain that falls out of the
sky is the only thing that matters
in a drought, said lead author A.
Park Williams, a bioclimatologist at
Columbia University. But (global)
warming changes the baseline
amount of water thats available to
us, because it sends water back into
the sky through evaporation.
The United States was one of
the few spots that didnt see the
extreme heat in July, along with
portions of western Asia. The USA
did have a slightly warmer-thanaverage July, but no states set a
record high, according to NOAA.

Hurley, Va., embraces Confederate symbol

the end zone, where the battle
flag was long ago painted into
rock, the faded remains still visible if you know where to look,
leaving stunned viewers to ponder how on earth the painter got
up there.
Got to be 150 feet, easy, Blankenship says. Thats whats called
loving your flag.
Those who oppose it say the
rebel flag stands for the fight for
slavery in the Civil War and the
fight against civil rights a century
later. Blankenship brands that as
political correctness and agrees
with Donald Trump, who said in a
different context in this months
Republican debate that political
correctness is a big problem in
the country.
Everything he says, I like,
Blankenship says. Its like hes

It doesnt mean racism to
me, Spencer tells USA TODAY
Sports. I just look at it as a flag.
Its our mascot. It just means our
school.
Thats the party line in Hurley,
a tiny coal-mining community
tucked into the southwest corner
of Virginia, south of Kentucky
and west of West Virginia, where
longtime citizens say they just
want to be left alone to rally
around a symbol thats been with
them for as long as they can
remember.
It means heritage, not hate,
Hurley High principal Pam Tester says. You wont find a single
person in Hurley who thinks
different.
And that includes Spencer,
who wears his heart on his sleeve
and his tattoo under it. In a community thats overwhelmingly
white, the artwork on his arm is
often offered as Exhibit A for the
defense.
We got one black kid, and look
at his arm, says Steve Blankenship, whose grandson plays for
the Rebels.
Much of the rest of the nation
sees the battle flag as an unfurled
symbol of slavery and segregation. Thats not what it means
here, Tester says. Never. Virginia is for lovers.
Renewed scrutiny of the rebel
flag in public spaces emerged this
summer after the massacre of
nine churchgoers in South Carolina. The alleged white supremacist gunman posed with a
Confederate battle flag in a photo
taken before the shooting. Since,
South Carolina removed the flag
from its statehouse grounds and
Alabama did the same. Mississippi retains the battle flag thats incorporated in its state flag,
though football coaches at Ole
Miss and Mississippi State are
among those who say it should go.
Rebels is the nickname at
roughly 200 high schools across
the USA, and these days several
are reviewing the name and attendant imagery. Southside High
in Fort Smith, Ark., is phasing out
its Rebels name and ending Dixie
as its fight song. Vestavia Hills
High in Alabama is rebranding its
Rebels, keeping the name but
eliminating some of the symbols.
No such introspection is apparent in Hurley, an unincorporated community in Buchanan
County, one of Virginias poorest.
The county was founded in 1858,
just before the Civil War, and according to the 2010 census had a
population of a little more than
24,000, roughly 97% white.
Hurleys population is estimated a bit above 3,000. On game
nights, it can feel as if all of them

SMILEY RATLIFFS LEGACY
Smiley Ratliff Field is named for

the founding father of Hurley
High football and of the
schools rebellious nickname.
His name was Arthur M. Ratliff
Jr., though everyone called him
Smiley. He coached the first Rebels squad in 1951 that played just
four games with borrowed equipment, according to Sam Varney,
80, who played on the original
teams. The schools first full season in 1952 brought its first
championship.
We went from nothing to
champions, Varney says. Smiley
often said his assistant coaches
were Genghis Khan, Napoleon
and Robert E. Lee.
Ratliff had more winning seasons in 1953 and 1954 and then
left coaching to make his fortune
in coal before branching into
banking and real estate holdings.
The Washington Post ran a profile
of him in 1982 that said he parlayed a $1,500 bank loan into an
estimated $100 million empire by
mining coal with the same hellfire abandon hed used to outflank
opposing football teams.
The story describes a man who
hated Franklin Roosevelt for
eroding initiative, Earl Warren
for destroying justice, Elvis for
ruining music and government
for overregulation. Im a general
on the battlefield of life, Ratliff
told the Post. Why, hell, God created me to win.
Ratliffs ancestors fought for

the South in the Civil War, and
he told me he was born too late
to fight in it himself, Varney says,
though Ratliff did fight in World
War II and Korea, earning an array of medals for his service.
Ratliff died at 83 in 2007. His
legacy is The Ratcliffe Foundation, harkening to an earlier
spelling of the family name. The
foundation has net assets of more
than $24 million, according to its
most recently available IRS 990
form. Varney is one of its officers.
Among its beneficiaries some
years is Hurley High, where a
field house named for Ratliff is
filled with the latest weightlifting
equipment and more than a
dozen images of the rebel flag.
Ratliff thought that flag denoted courage, valor and states
rights, Varney says. It was not
adopted really for anything connected with slavery or hatred or
anything that those who are being vocal about it say.
What would Smiley think
else and takes care of one another

and how the battle flag is part
of all of that as a symbol of spirit,
tradition and pride.
We dont mean any disrespect
at all, he says.
Testers assistant coaches are
not Napoleon, Kahn and Lee but
Brandon Davis, Dustin Waynick
and Travis Quinley.
Im 33 years old, and the
(front) doors have always had the
flag, Davis says. Once, when we
got new (doors), people started
calling to see how soon the flag
would be painted back.
Hurley has an enrollment of
180 boys and girls in grades 9-12.
That makes the Class A school
one of the states smallest to field
a football team. Tester says he has
a roster of 40 this season, including ninth-graders, and that every
team the Rebels play is bigger
notably Class AA Grundy, bitter
rival down the road.
Grundy players stomped and
spit on a rebel flag when they won
a tight game in 2013, tight end-

about statehouses and high
schools retiring the battle flag?
You cant print that, says Varney, whos pleased local sentiment is to keep it flying high in
Hurley. To change it because
someone else doesnt like it, he
says, goes against the grain of
mountain independence.

U.S. seeks sites to hold Gitmo detainees

Pentagon considers
S.C. and Kansas but

USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Pentagon teams

are examining sites in the United
States to move terror detainees
currently held at the naval base at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Defense
Secretary Ash Carter said
Thursday.
The first two sites are the military prison at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan., and the naval brig at
Charleston, S.C., Carter said.
That does not mean those
sites will be chosen, he said.
The teams will look elsewhere
for potential sites in the United

Study sparks

USA TODAY
A new study released

Thursday sparked a debate
on the importance of treatment options for women diagnosed with the earliest
stage of breast cancer.
The study found that
treatment such as radiology
for women diagnosed with
with DCIS ductal carcinoma in situ or stage 0
breast cancer does not eliminate the threat of breast
cancer at 10 years. However,
researchers studied 100,000
women diagnosed with
DCIS for 20 years, and
found 97% of them did not
die from breast cancer after
undergoing treatment.
About 60,000 women are
diagnosed with DCIS each
year, according to the American Cancer Society. Stage 0
breast cancer is non-invasive and is located only in
the milk ducts of the breast,
says breastcancer.org.
The study, published in
The study found

treatment of
stage 0 breast

threat of breast

the JAMA Oncology journal,
reignited a debate as to
whether or not DCIS qualifies as cancer, and encouraged doctors to research the
risks of DCIS more to determine the best treatment options for patients.
Authors of the study argue DCIS should be considered cancer and should be
treated as such, while others
say aggressive treatment
may not be necessary.
Steven Narod, the lead author of the study and a researcher at the Womens
College Research Institute
in Toronto, said the 3% of
women who died over the
20 years passed away after
the DCIS spread throughout
their bodies before the lump
in their breasts was
removed.
If this can spread prior to
the removal and kill you,
thats cancer, Narod said. If
thats not cancer, I dont
know what is.
However, for others, the
findings from the study suggested aggressive treatment,
such as lumpectomies, lumpectomies with radiology
and mastectomies, is often
not necessary.

Former president Jimmy Carter said Thursday he will fight the

cancer that has spread to parts of
his brain and planned to get his
first radiation treatment that day.
Examinations that began with
the discovery of cancer during liver surgery have revealed four
spots of melanoma on my brain,
Carter told a news conference at
his presidential center in Atlanta.
Its in the hands God, whom I
worship, and Ill be prepared for
anything that comes, Carter said.
Im ready for anything and looking forward to a new adventure.
The nations 39th president
told reporters he had hoped the
cancer would be confined to his
liver, and at one point believed he
had only a few weeks left. Carter repeatedly said he is now at
ease with the diagnosis, and is
sustained by his family and religious faith.
Ive had a wonderful life, Carter said.
Ive had thousands
of
friends.
The
90year-old former president,
whose volunteer activities
have included
building houses,
monitoring elections, and helping
to develop impoverished nations, said the
illness will force him to cut
back fairly dramatically on his
work with the Carter Center,
though he will continue to raise
money for the center and oversee
some of its activities.
Since announcing last week
that he had cancer, Carter said he
has spoken with presidential colleagues Barack Obama, George
W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George
H.W. Bush, as well as Vice President Biden and 2016 Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton. After the news conference, Obama tweeted that Carter
is as good a man as they come.
Michelle and I are praying for
him and Rosalynn. Were all pulling for you, Jimmy.
Facing the ordeal with cheer
and good humor, Carter said he
has had only slight pain, and I
havent felt any weakness or
debility.
After Thursdays radiation,
Carter said he will have four more
treatments to be scheduled at
three-week intervals.
A decade ago, patients with the
type of cancer afflicting Carter
faced a very bleak diagnosis. But

noma that has spread to other

parts of the body.
The advances in the last five
years have been astounding, said
Anna Pavlick, professor and codirector of the melanoma program at New York Universitys
Perlmutter Cancer Center, who is
not treating Carter but is aware of
what treatments he's getting. Patients may go on and have a complete response to treatment.
A former peanut farmer who
became governor of Georgia, Carter won the presidency in 1976 after one of the most surprising
long-shot campaigns in political
history.
After one term beset by economic problems, poor relations
with Congress, and a hostage crisis in Iran, Carter lost the 1980
presidential election to Republican Ronald Reagan.
A botched rescue mission to
Iran marred Carters final year in
office. During his news conference, Carter said that I wish I
had sent one more helicopter to
get the hostages out, and that a

successful rescue would have reelected him.
Carters presidency is remembered for a peace treaty between
Israel and Egypt, and his emphasis on human rights in foreign
policy. He is credited with restoring integrity to the presidency after the traumas of Vietnam and
Watergate.
Asked about the Middle East
today, Carter said he still hopes to
see peace between Israel and her
neighbors, though the prospects
at present seem dismal. The
whole process is practically dormant, he said.
Since leaving the White House,
Carters volunteer work across
the world has redefined the role
of former presidents. He said cancer was discovered during an exam that followed a cold he
contracted while monitoring
elections in Guyana.
Carter announced last week
that recent liver surgery revealed that I have cancer that
now is in other parts of my body.
In a written statement, the former president said, I will be rearranging my schedule as
necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory
Healthcare.

Fayetteville is one of nine facilities that have medical employee

vacancy rates over 30%. Nearly
30 more have vacancy rates of

The data, obtained through a

physician assistants all have vacancy rates above 20% nationwide.
Critics say the agencys hiring

The whole hiring process is ridiculous, said Laurie Butler, who

retiring last year. There, a quarter
of all clinical jobs are vacant.
Phoenix VA spokeswoman
Jean Schaefer said hiring one
person can involve up to 18 steps
and take four to eight months. By
that time, candidates have often

Apple, Disney fading fast

among former supernovas
Superstar stocks
leading the dive
Matt Krantz
USA TODAY
Its easy to ignore the markets troubles as long as your

hot stocks arent affected. But a
surprising number of former
superstar stocks arent just getting sucked into the markets
declines but leading the dive.
The count of former market
darlings that are now suffering
big-time as the market struggles
is big: 102 stocks in the Standard & Poors 500, including
Apple, Urban Outfitters and
Skyworks Solutions, are down
10% or more from record highs
set this year, a USA TODAY
analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ found. A 10% drop is considered a correction.
The pain gets even deeper.
There are 18 stocks in the S&P
500 that set record highs this
year that are now down 20% or
more from those all-time highs.
Talk about a fast and painful reversal: going from being a leading stock to one thats down
20% or more the unofficial
definition of a bear market.
Rapid deterioration in stocks
that were leaders is a big warning sign. Theres still denial going on, but this is what happens
in late stages of bull markets,
says Ken Winans of Winans International. The darling stocks
start to get hammered.
The biggest and most dramatic example is gadget maker
Apple.

JAE YANG AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY
Wall Street logged a third

straight day of losses Thursday
the Dow tanking 358 points, its
biggest point plunge since Nov. 9,
2011 as investors grappled with
fresh questions about the timing
of the Federal Reserves first interest rate hike, slowing global
growth and oil in danger of falling
below the key $40-a-barrel mark.
The Dow Jones industrials
ended down 2.1% to 16,990.82
its first close below 17,000 since
Oct. 29 following a 163-point
drop Wednesday. The Standard &
Poors 500 index fell 2.1% and
turned negative for the year. The
Nasdaq composite tumbled 2.8%.
Fear is starting to rise in the
market. A closely watched Wall
Street fear gauge, dubbed the
VIX, rose 26% Thursday, its highest level since July 9, but still well
below its 52-week peak.
The concerns dragging down
sentiment were many of the same
worries that have been troubling
investors since last week:
uInterest rate uncertainty in
the U.S. That was not resolved
Wednesday by the release of the
minutes of the Feds July meeting. The nations central bank
said conditions for a rate hike
have yet to be achieved, raising
fresh questions as to whether the
Fed would hike rates for the first
time in nearly a decade at its September meeting. The Fed also
raised concerns about the fallout
from Chinas lagging economy
and persistent low inflation.
uRout in oil market. A barrel
of U.S.-based crude is flirting with
falling below $40 a barrel for the
first time since early 2009. In
Thursday trading, West Texas Intermediate crude fell within 21
cents of $40 per barrel, but rebounded in later trading and was
up 15 cents to $40.95. Crude is
being pressured by data showing
a bigger weekly inventory build
in the U.S., continued oversupply
and concerns about slowing
growth in China.
The trend (for oil) remains
bearish, Sam Stovall, U.S. equity
strategist at S&P Capital IQ,
warned in a research report.
uChina angst. The main risk
facing markets continues to be
China and signs that its economy
the worlds second biggest is
slowing faster than previously
thought. Markets also are still
grappling with the fallout of Beijings surprise decision last week
to devalue its currency, a move
that has created turmoil in markets, especially emerging markets
that do a lot of business with China. China is causing some
angst, says Michael Farr, president of money-management firm
Farr, Miller & Washington. People may (also) be worried about
the continued bludgeoning of the
energy complex.
Investors are increasingly
concerned about global growth
being undermined by Chinas decelerating economy, says Mark
Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.

workplace dissatisfaction was

brought into stark relief recently
with The New York Times article
on Amazons aggressive workplace environment, based on interviews with former employees.
According to TINYpulses poll

of 5,000 engineers, developers
and other IT specialists working
at 500 TINYpulse tech and nontech company clients, tech workers are less happy than workers in
other sectors in every key category. For example, only 36% of tech
workers say they see opportunity
for professional growth, compared to 50% of other workers,
who include plumbers, architects
and public school teachers.
The dour response was similar
for other questions, including,
Has a supervisor recognized
your work recently? (69% for
tech, vs. 75% for non-tech workers); Can you recite your companys mission and values? (28%
vs. 43%); Do you have a highquality relationship with your coworkers? (47% vs. 56%); and
Are you very happy at work?
(19% vs. 22%).
In answering the question
about professional development,
respondents displeasure was explained by these reasons, in descending order: opportunities for
growth arent clear; there arent
opportunities for growth; and the
opportunities or their requirements are inconsistent.
Theres widespread workplace
dissatisfaction in the tech space,
and its undermining the happiness and engagement of these
employees, the survey concludes.

If markets have
you worried, its
time to diversify
Q: Should I be ready to
bail on stocks?
Matt Krantz
mkrantz@usatoday.com
USA TODAY
A: The markets dont look great. The

Dow Jones industrial average Thursday
sank 358 points the biggest one-day
point drop since Nov. 9, 2011. The Standard & Poors 500 is down 4.6% from its
all-time high.
The pain goes beyond numbers.
Household-name stocks that are the
market to many beginning investors, like
Apple and Disney, are struggling recently. Even some new and promising tech
stocks, like Twitter, are suffering. Twitter
shares dropped below the price at which
the stock was sold to the public. Investors fret the Federal Reserve may push
up short-term interest rates, which
could cool the economy. Chinas economic gusto is fading.
It looks bad but doesnt mean you
should sell. The fact that youre worried
indicates it is overdue to examine your
portfolio. If youve let a single hot stock
overrun your portfolio, its a good time to
put it back in the proper proportion of
your holdings.
Make sure you have an adequate
rainy-day fund that will cover at least
three to six months of expenses. Make
sure youre diversified not just with U.S.
stocks, but also bonds and foreign stocks,
which have already been beat down.
None of these things are new. Its just
that during bull markets, investors often
trade speculation for prudence.
Pension advance firms sued over deceptive practices

USA TODAY
Online ads offering advance

payment on future pension income may have seemed like a financial lifeline for some senior
retirees and military veterans.
But a lawsuit filed Thursday by
federal and state regulators
charged that the offers by California-based Pension Funding LLC
and Pension Income LLC in reality came with high interest rates
a detail never disclosed.

2013 PHOTO BY H. DARR BEISER, USA TODAY
CFPB Director Richard Cordray
Protection Bureau and the New

and three present or former executives of deceiving consumers by
characterizing the transactions as

advances, not loans.
These companies duped consumers into taking out pension
loans by deceiving them about
the terms of the deal, CFPB Director Richard Cordray said.
A joint telephone number for
the firms had been disconnected,
and corporate representatives
could not be reached.
The companies paid to steer
Internet search traffic to their
websites by targeting consumers
who conducted Google browser
searches for such phrases as

The scheme ran from 2011 until about December 2014. The
firms told applicants the purport-
ed advances were better than a

home equity line of credit or
credit card, the lawsuit charged.
However, the transactions represented loans that on average
had an effective annual interest
rate of 28.56%, the lawsuit
charged. The companies made
their entire profit and deducted
all fees at the inception of each
deal, the lawsuit charged.
This scheme involved false
advertising, illegal loans at high
interest rates and other abusive
tactics, said Anthony Albanese,
acting superintendent of the New

Services.

Jesse Eisenberg has a

simple rule of thumb when it
comes to co-stars.
If you meet somebody sane
and theyre in a movie, try to sign
on immediately, he says of pal
Kristen Stewart, with whom he
reunites in stoner action comedy
American Ultra (opens Friday).
Thats a really good point,
Stewart says. Some actors are
insane people capable of pulling
off convincing, normal-people
parts. But with Eisenberg, were
nerds. Nobody would ever entertain the 10 minutes it took for me
to explain some thought you
should probably keep to yourself,
but Jesse will listen to it all.
I mean, its only 10 minutes!
Come on! Eisenberg grins, jokingly throwing his hands up.
Since playing sheepish, smitten
theme-park attendants in the
2009 romp Adventureland, the
young actors profiles have risen
immensely: Eisenberg, 31, earning an Oscar nomination as
Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, and
Stewart, 25, tackling ambitious
roles in mostly well-received dramas post-Twilight. But theyd
been hankering for the chance to
reunite onscreen. In the genremashing Ultra, they tote guns and
ganja as amorous pot smokers
NEW YORK
TODD PLITT, USA TODAY
If you meet somebody sane and theyre in a movie, try to sign

on immediately, Jesse Eisenberg says of Kristen Stewart.
Phoebe and Mike, who turns out
to be a lethal secret agent.
I knew it was going to take a
pretty smart guy to hold it together and that Jesse could do that,
says Stewart, who committed
almost immediately after reading
the script. It felt like a continuation of the dynamic we had done
before, and I loved that.
But Ultra was a different roller
coaster entirely. Not only did they
have to throw punches and
launch grenades to fend off government operatives, they also had
to learn to wield more unorthodox weaponry, most memorably a
throat-slashing spoon.
I wanted to believe that Jesse
and Kristen could do this and for
them to do as much (stunt work)
as possible, says director Nima
Nourizadeh, which required boot
camp weeks before shooting in
New Orleans.
With Mike on the run from

CIA assassins for most of the film,
it was non-stop action for Eisenberg. But the bulk of Stewarts
fisticuffs are saved until the end,
when a dinky grocery store
becomes the backdrop for an explosive, bloody showdown.
I could only show my true
badassery colors once or twice in
the movie, Stewart laments.
Jesse literally has stunt after
stunt and all this choreography,
and I had 30 seconds that I
worked on for like two weeks,
which was really fun. I take two
guys down ultimately, my
strongest hit is with my elbow.
I would say thats your strongest body part, Eisenberg says
wryly.
Yeah, thats probably my
moneymaker right here, Stewart
chuckles, lifting her arm and
pointing. No, literally.

shade of yellow-orange. Inside the ripe
fruit there are lots and lots of seeds, all
surrounded by a green pulp. This pulp
is quite juicy, and after straining, and
augmentation with some considerable
amount of sugar, renders a fruity drink,

which tastes, to some, like a mixture of
banana and citrus. However, this is one

Seeds of this curious vine are available to you in various ways (not from

to grow. They would be great for a
childs garden. Just give the vines plenty of sunlight and water, and room for
growing. If you dont want to eat the

scoop out the insides and use the shells
for little bowls. Fun for the whole family!

Although tolerant of shade, flowering is much reduced.

provide cover and breeding habitat for fish, frogs
and other wildlife. They
help oxygenate the pond,
releasing oxygen from
their leaves as a by-product of photosynthesis.
Oxygen passes directly
into the water, enabling
the water to support
other life forms.
Hornwort is a free
floating plant and is purchased by the handful
and released to float
loosely in the pond. Tapegrass, purchased in
small pots and placed on
the bottom of the pond, is
a graceful underwater
flowing grass for sun or
shade. Both will multiply
and need to be thinned
periodically.
Deep water aquatic
plants have roots and
flexible stems which are
submerged, but leaves
and flowers must float
above the water. Good
examples are water lilies, which must have sun
in order to bloom well.
In addition to providing habitat, underwater
plants also absorb nutrients (from pond fish) that
are dissolved in water
thereby competing with
algae. Probably more
important in the control
of algae is the shade that
water lilies and other
plants provide. Good
advice is to plant your
pond with enough aquatic
plants to cover sixty to
eighty percent of the
ponds surface. However,
remember that algae is a
fact of life for a water

about etymology.
The best family vacation I ever had was in the
Galapagos Islands.
Located
600 miles
off the
western
coast of
Ecuador,
these
Budd Titlow islands
are
TLH blogger
among
the
worlds most famous
ecological wonders. It
was here that Charles
Darwin studied many
birds especially Galapagos finches in developing his science-shattering studies that led to his
theories of natural selection and species evolution. The Galapagos are
also famous as nature
preserves where birds
and other animals have
no fear of humans.
I had long heard this
reputation, but as a career wildlife photographer and biologist, I
was very skeptical that
wildlife would allow
humans to walk right up
to them without flying
away. Plus some of the
names of the birds just
sounded ridiculous. Bluefooted boobies please,
who ever heard of such a
thing? They cant possibly be real!
The first island we
visited, Espaola, provided me with all the proof I
needed. As we glided
breathlessly along the
trail accompanied by our
naturalist guide, we had
to carefully plan each
step to avoid crushing an
egg, nest, or even an
entire bird. We walked
right through the middle
of huge rookeries full of
nesting masked, redfooted, and yes, there
they were in all their
cerulean splendor
blue-footed boobies by
the thousands!
OK, so exactly what,
you may ask, is all this
blue-footed nonsense
anyway? As you might
guess, it has to do with
attracting the ladies. The
males with the bluest
feet are the ones that are
the most successful at
catching nutritious fresh
fish. In fact, when boobies are kept in captivity
and fed already dead or
frozen fish, the color of
their feet starts to fade
within two days. Thus the
combination of the
males fabulously bright
blue feet signaling
hey, Im the best provider and some nifty
prancing, dancing, and
stamping quickly has the
females falling for the
showiest males, and the
nesting games soon begin.
The blue-foots also use
their fabulous feet in the
chick-rearing process,
using them to cover the
nestlings for extra
anced ecosystem.
Your pond should also
contain marginal plants
that inhabit shallow water or the edges of a water garden. They provide
vertical contrast and
cover for birds, aquatic
insects and other small
creatures. It is important
to position marginals in
the depth of water that
best suits each individual
plant. Most grow quickly;
you may need to control
growth by isolating them
in planting beds or in
pots.
Some good examples
are lemon bacopa, lizards tail, duck potato or
arrowhead, pickerelweed, rush, Howies
sedge, cardinal flower
and blue flag iris. Lemon
bacopa is a low growing,
mat-forming perennial
found on saturated soil or
shallowly inundated. It
has bright blue flowers in

Spanish explorers
called the blue-foots
bobo, meaning stupid,
because they appeared
clumsy on land. But
when we got back to our
tour boat and watched
their amazing aerial
artistry, the word awesome not stupid
came to mind. A large
feeding flock of bluefoots repeatedly soared
up to more than 50 feet
above the water. When
they spotted fish below,
they turned into sleek
avian guided missiles,
folding their wings, sticking their necks and heads
straight out, extending
their feet behind them,
and zooming down in
extreme power dives.
The effect was like
watching hundreds of
miniature torpedoes
exploding below the waters surface all at once.

New school year, new chance to get organized

Melissa Rayworth
Associated Press
As she raises two

daughters while managing a yoga studio, Nashville, Tennessee, mom
Jennifer Derryberry
Mann swears by Google
calendars on her phone
to keep everyone organized.
For Kelly Ubinger,
working and raising four
kids in Pittsburgh requires a huge, paper wall
calendar with everyones
activities recorded.
In Washington, D.C.,
single mom El Brown
uses the digital organizing app Cozi to coordinate life with her son
while running a business
and pursuing a doctorate
degree.
Strategies vary widely, but many parents
agree that having some
kind of system to manage
schedules is important
especially at this time of
year.
Families with kids
can wing it on lazy summer mornings, says
Cynthia Ewer, founder of
OrganizedHome.com.
But back-to-school
brings new organizational challenges. Adding
school, extracurricular
activities and sports to a
familys schedule can
cause chaos unless
youve got a good grip on
time management.
As the school year
begins, some suggestions
on creating and improving a family system that
works:
Where
Designate spots for
permission slips, soccer
cleats, musical instruments and more what
Ewer calls the miscellany that will float
through the household
starting on the first day
of school so you dont
waste time trying to find
it each day.
She suggests creating
a family launch pad in
a common area. You
might place a file box on
a shelf and fill it with
color-coded folders (one
for each childs paperwork), or tack plastic
pouches to a wall, each
labeled with a childs
name. Donna Smallin
Kuper, founder of Unclutter.com, uses Post-It
Wall Pockets for this
purpose.
Add hooks beneath the
pouches or shelf for jackets and lunch boxes, and
place labeled bins on the
floor beneath each hook.
Have kids drop backpacks in their bin, along
with other items that go
with them to school. Bins
and baskets are helpful
for kids, says Smallin
Kuper, because tossing
shoes or unfolded clothing in them is much simpler and more likely to
happen than arranging
shoes in a row, or folding
clothes.
Craft blogger Jennifer
Yates has created a family command center
using two old window
screens, one for each
child. She glued clothespins onto the frames for
posting papers; attached
wooden hymnal holders
reclaimed from church
pews to hold other papers and small items; and
added a row of hooks.
It hasnt helped me
always turn in things on
time, Yates says, but at
least it keeps us from
losing important papers.
And it gives us a place to
show off their work, too.
What
The family organization app Cozi (at Cozi.
com) includes a calendar
function that can be
shared among family
members and updated by
kids or parents. The app
lets you record meal
plans, and shopping and
to do lists.
Similarly, Outlook,
Apple and Google calendars can be customized
with color-coded entries
for each family member,
and updated and shared
among devices.
If you prefer low-tech,
a large paper calendar
hung in a central spot can
be color-coded for each
person, and you can
achieve some of the por-
tability of a digital calendar by snapping a photo

of the calendar before
leaving home.
Mann, the Nashville
yoga teacher, combines
both approaches: She
uses Google calendar but
also has her daughters
schedules written in
colorful marker and
tacked to the wall.
A digital list-maker
can help you avoid making multiple trips to the
store. Family members
can update it from wherever they are, and you
can look at it while youre
running errands. (Besides Cozi, check out the
Evernote and Omnifocus
apps.)
When
Ubinger goes through
the kids backpacks to
retrieve papers as soon

as they get home, signing
permission slips and
adding appointments to
her calendar.
Smallin Kuper suggests getting kids involved in keeping things
organized; its a way to
strengthen bonds.
You might even have
just one child help you
for the week with cleaning, laundry and meal
prep. It makes them feel
special to have that oneon-one time with you, and
they are learning skills
for life, she says.
The truly organized
say weekday mornings
also can be made easier
by prepping lunches and
snacks ahead of time.
Smallin Kuper suggests
taking time Sunday to
prep individual baggies
of cut vegetables or nuts

Finally, use moisture loving
plants around the pond to create

pond. These are plants that thrive in
moist soil, but will not tolerate waterlogged soil. An example is maidenhair fern. It will accent the rocks

OBITUARIES
Elston Edward
(Steve) Roady
Professor Elston E.
Roady, 95, left this earthly life on August 16,
2015, after a brief illness.
He was preceded in death
by his first wife Barbara
Louise Elder Roady in
2008. He is survived by
his current wife, Priscilla
Thayer Jones; his devoted children, Beth Lines
(Earl) of Tallahassee,
Steve Roady (Celia) of
Washington, DC, and
Chris Roady (Linda) of
Tallahassee; his beloved
grandchildren, Valerie
Sands (Chris) of Tallahassee, Matthew Lines
(Mirela) of Miami, Michael Lines (Rachael)
of Connecticut, Laura Capito (Charles) of
Maryland, Peter Roady
of New York City, Jennifer
Roady-Law-son
(Rowdy), Katherine Boland ( Jamie) and Chris
Roady, Jr., of Tallahassee;
his adored great-grandchildren, Ethan and
Meghan Sands, Catalina, Angelina and Nicoleta Lines, Max and Lily
Lines, Celia and Charlie
Capito, Dylan, Rhys and
Zane Lawson, and Everett , Eva and Eliza Boland; and his much-admired
step-daughters
Hilda Dawson (Harry)
of North Carolina and
Sue Conte Sherman
(Gary) and Phyllis Hytnen (Eric) of Tallahassee.
Professor Roady was
born on April 9, 1920 in
the little town of Kane,
Illinois, (population 473)
to Thomas and Leila
Roady, both teachers.
From his earliest days,
he wanted to follow in
their footsteps. He and
his brother Golman and
sister Elizabeth led an
idyllic small-town life,
fishing in Macoupin
Creek, squirrel hunting
in the woods surrounding the town, reveling
in Boy Scout activities,
taking years of piano lessons and participating in
track and field, basketball, debate and drama
in high school. Receiving on graduation one
of two academic scholarships awarded to the top
student in each Illinois
county, he went on to
Illinois State [Normal]
University, a teachers
college. Active in many
activities, it was in a play
that he received his nickname; he played a paperboy named Steve, and
this name followed him
all his life. He graduated
from Illinois State [Normal] University in 1942
just after Pearl Harbor.
Steves first act upon
graduation was to enlist
as a private in the Army.
Because of his academic
record, he was selected to
train in a newly-developed top-secret military
operational capability
radar. He attended his
radar training with the
Army Air Corps, the
precursor to the U.S. Air
Force, in Boca Raton,
together with his broth-
er. Both ended up in the

Pacific Theater, Steve in
1943 as a navigator in a
Northrop P-61 Black
Widow that utilized the
magic of radar. His unit
was consistently at the
tip of the spear in the
Pacific Theater, moving
from Papua and Nadzab,
New Guinea, through
Wakde, Hollandia and
Bi-ak-Owi in the Netherlands East Indies, to
Tacloban (Leyte), San
Marcelino (Luzon), Manila, and finally to Puerto Princesa (Palawan) in
the Philippines. It was in
the Philippines that he
joined with tro ops on
the ground to help defeat
a desperate counter-attack by Japanese Army
regulars intent on taking
back the airfield at Tacloban. His unit was in
Palawan staging for the
invasion of Japan when
the war ended. He came
home to San Francisco
on December 12, 1945.
After years of equatorial heat, he returned to
an ice storm in Illinois,
where he married Barbara Louise (Barbie)
on December 27, 1945;
their wonderful marriage
continued for over sixty
years until her death in
2008.
Steve continued his
military career in the Air
Force Reserve. He ended
as commanding officer
of the 9889th Air Force
Reserve, retiring with the
rank of Colonel. During
his career he attended
various War Colleges in
the Reserve.
Steve received his
Masters Degree in political science from the
University of Illinois in
1947, and was immediately hired by the former womens college in
Tallahassee as it became
a co-educational institution of higher learning
Florida State University. He was among the
first instructors hired
by FSU. He returned
to the University of Illinois to get his Ph.D.
degree in 1948, and was
back at FSU as an assistant professor by 1950.
He liked to tell stories
about West Campus,
converted barracks at the
former airfield located
near the current Messer Park, where recently
hired faculty members
and their families lived.
He was proudest of the
fact that his door was
always open to students,
many of whom went on
to distinguished careers
of public service. He created and for many years
taught a seminal course
on Southern Politics.
He was internationally known for his work
on campaign reform.
He retired as Professor
Emeritus in 1983 after
thirty-three years at FSU
doing what he loved best
teaching college students about government
and politics.
Steve believed in practicing politics as well as
teaching and studying it.
While at FSU, he started
the Congressional Intern and the Legislative
Intern programs, allowing exceptionally bright
students to work in the
Congress and in the
5C
Florida Legislature. Two

of his early interns were
future Governor and
United States Senator
Bob Graham and future
Florida Speaker of the
House and Florida State
University
President
John Thrasher. His areas
of interest were money in
politics and election laws.
He was an expert advisor on good government
practices to the League
of Women Voters Election Reform Committee, the governments of
Canada, Australia, the
United Kingdom and
the former West German Federal Republic.
He helped draft the election code in Florida and
in fourteen other states.
He served on two presidential commissions: the
Presidential Nominating
Process and Registration
and Voting Reforms. He
also served as a Democratic Precinct Committeeman, the acting director of the Democratic
Senatorial
Campaign
Committee under Lyndon Johnson, and as an
aide to the Florida Democratic Campaign Committee and a delegate to
the 1956 Democratic
Convention.
Steve was a visionary
pioneer in the effort to
establish sensible limits on the use of money
in politics. He worked
with the Florida Department of State and key
legislators in developing
ground-breaking campaign finance legislation,
called the Who Gave It,
Who Got It Law, aimed
at providing citizens full
disclosure of campaign
contributions. He said
that he could always tell
when his suggestions
were welcome, because
the legislators would say,
Steve, that sounds like a
good approach. When
his ideas were not so
welcome, they would say,
Well, PROFESSOR
Roady, that may not
work.
During his years in Tallahassee, Steve considered it his civic responsibility to work for the
community. He served
as president and charter
member of the Friends
of the Library as citizens
were trying to establish a
library in the 1950s. He
was the treasurer and a
charter member, with six
others, of the Tallahassee
Junior Museum (now
the Tallahassee Museum of Natural History).
He was a deacon in the
Church of Christ, becoming a member of
Trinity United Methodist Church in 1967
where he served on six
committees over the
years. He was a member
and served as an officer
in many clubs over the
years, among them the
Lions Club and the Tallahassee Camellia and
Garden Club.
In retirement, Steve
kept busy on Envision
Credit Union committees, as a member and officer in the Leon-Wakulla Retired Educators
Association,
meeting
with the Retired Faculty of FSU; and starting
each morning with the
Governors Square Mall
Walkers. He loved attending musical performances at FSU. He read

at least three newspapers
every day, among them
the New York Times,
and was an astute handicapper of political contests at the local, state
and national levels. Illinois State, his alma mater, presented him with
its Distinguished Alumni Award shortly after he
retired. The high point of
the award for Steve was
being crowned Alumni
Homecoming King and
riding in the homecoming parade.
Although Steve was
an active member of
the community, a prolific author of scholarly
articles, and a dedicated
teacher, he always had
time to remain closely
involved in his childrens
(and grandchildrens) activities. Through all the
years including the last
weeks of his life he unfailingly provided wise
counsel on all manner of
issues that were of interest or concern to them.
On the sports front, he
managed Cub League
baseball and Junior High
City League basketball.
He was especially active
in Boy Scouts, as a Cub
Scout Packmaster, Troop
Committee Chair-man,
a charter-donor to Camp
Wallwood, and a mer-it
badge counselor. He enthusiastically attended
many performances over
the years as his grandchildren participated in
gymnastics, chorus, music, soccer, football, and
dramatic performances. He was especially
enamored of his many
great-grandchildren; in
one of his last comments
he expressed his love for
his sweet little darlings.
As a widower late in
life, Steve was captivated
by his charming Westminster Oaks neighbor,
Priscilla Thayer Jones. To
the delight of the entire
community, they were
married in high style
on June 13, 2009. The
couple
honeymooned
in Steves North Carolina summer home. As
a bonus, he got three
step-daughters whom he
cherished and admired.
At the end of his life, he
had found love again.
Steve lived a full and

happy life. He often
said, I am a very lucky
man. Those of us who
love him so much and
remember him with
deep affection and
gratitude think that,
in truth, we were the
lucky ones.
Visitation will be

Karen E. Lloyd
Well, they always said that I had to have the last
word so if your reading this I have passed from this
world. I was born Karen Elizabeth Zacharias (later to
be Markus) on July 10th, 1946 in Biloxi, Mississippi. My parents Roy and
Ernestine Markus raised my brother Jimmy, sister Becky, and I on Lake
Talquin in Tallahassee where they instilled my Christian faith. I graduated
from Leon High School and moved to
Crestview, Fl. Over my lifetime I wore
many hats (so to speak). To name a few
Court Reporter, Troy State University student (where
I was just shy 12 hours of a 4 year degree) and most
importantly Civil Service on EAFB where I retired
after 28 years. I loved with all my heart and was lucky
to have two great loves in my life. Tommy Adams with
whom we had a daughter named Melanie Jane Adams (Hale). I wanted to name her Scarlett after Gone
With The Wind but everyone thought that the boring
co-stars name was better. Later in my life I re-married
to Dale Lloyd who proceeded me in death in 2005. I
loved to talk and never met a stranger my daddy said
so how lucky was I that I talked almost everyday to
my sisters Becky Markus Walker (Hahira, Ga), Linda Zacharias Schonewitz (Biloxi, Miss.) and cousin Patricia Wagner Alley (Tallahassee) my whole life
until the end. In my dying wishs I clearly stated for
my daughter to write my obit and to pretend that I
was a good mother but she knew that was a joke because she held my heart and I held her hand. I was
there to welcome my grandchildren Ashton BeauxHunter Hale, Daniele Nicole Hale and later Heather
Brooklyn Hale (all of Crestview, Fl) into this world.
There was nothing I wouldnt do for them and just as I
thought I could not be a prouder Mom or Mimi I became a Great Mimi of Payne Gabriel Hale, Brantley
Hunter Hale and Sailor Pierce Morey. With that and
some very special nieces and nephews I found my life
complete. The last decade of my life I had the privilege of moving back home with my mom in Tally for
7 years and also the privilege to be holding her hand
when she passed away. I moved back to be with my
kids and 2 years later thats when it happened. August
15th, 2015 (I tried to tell them lol)! Remember me
when you see a Cardinal or a vine ripe tomato (well
any food for that matter), or a yard-sale. Dont grieve
for me too much, but maybe a little, after all I did die!
I loved you all. Funeral arrangements will be at Beggs
Funeral Home in Tallahassee with a viewing Saturday
night, August 22nd from 5-7. Lying in wait Sunday
the 23rd from 12-2 and a church service at 2:00 followed by internment at Woodville Cemetery. I hope
to see you there.

FSU hopes D-line can apply pressure

Safid Deen
GAMEPLAN
Democrat sports writer

@Safid_Deen on Twitter
Pressuring the quarterback is the

goal for every defense playing the game
of football.
But keeping that pressure applied
once the ball is out of the quarterbacks
hands is the real key.
Florida State linebacker Terrance
Smith said the Seminoles are focusing on
their pursuit of the ball heading into
the final days of fall camp.
The Seminoles will conclude fall
camp after Saturdays scrimmage inside
Doak Campbell Stadium, but will still
have two weeks to prepare for the season
opener against Texas State on Sept. 5.
Our 40-page preseason GAMEPLAN edition will be included

in Sundays newspaper. The special football section on Florida State, Florida A&M and Big Bend prep teams will include
feature stories, depth charts, rosters, prep team capsules and
much more. Also, the Tallahassee Democrat this season will
sponsor Sod Talk, the pregame event at FSU home games
that brings back former players to Tallahassee to reflect on
the biggest games of their careers.
FSUs pursuit on defense begins with

the defensive line, and Smith said a
greater emphasis has been placed on ensuring the linemen are making plays on
the football down the field.
You never know what play will
change the game, Smith said. And doing things like that is going to make our
defense just that much better.

Defending-champion
FSU opens season
tonight at New Mexico
Jordan Culver
@JordanCulver on Twitter
Cheyna Williams doesnt have much

to say about the achievements of the
2014 Florida State soccer team.
Shes only once watched FSUs 1-0
victory over ACC rival Virginia in the
national title game, and she assisted on
the championship-winning goal. FSU
stomped through the NCAA tournament
and the Womens College Cup with allowing an opposing team to score a goal.
All of that is in the past, and the Seminoles are focused on the challenge of repeating as national champs. Williams, a
senior forward on the team, said to
start, the Seminoles are ready to take on
someone outside of practice.
Its fun scrimmaging these guys because they always compete, she said.
Practice has been fun because of that.
But its always nice to get some outside
competition and really put ourselves to
the test.
The Seminoles open the season on the
road against New Mexico tonight in the
Lobo Invitational. Theyll stay in Albuquerque to play Southern California on
Sunday before coming back to Tallahassee for an Aug. 28 home opener against
Southeastern Louisiana.
Head coach Mark Krikorian said the
teams focus has always been on hard
work. A national title hasnt softened
that approach, and the team is still hungry despite accolades from last season
that have led to high outside expectations.
Those expectations loom right over
one of the goals at FSUs soccer field
the team practices underneath a huge
2014 Womens College Cup championship banner.
Of course theres a target on our
back were the defending national
champions and every team is going to
know that when we go in, Krikorian
said.

Thursdays preseason football game

between Wakulla and Leon at Gene Cox
Stadium served its purpose for both
teams.
Wakulla, which rolled to a 34-3 win,
didn't need to play quarterback and LSU
commit Feleipe Franks. He suffered an
ankle injury in practice leading up to the
game.
War Eagles receiver Keith Gavin, a
Florida State commit, played exclusively
at safety and kick returner.
Leon tried to figure out who its quarterback would be for its 100th year of
football.
"We learned they're very good, but we
wanted to play a lot of guys and frankly
didn't scheme for them," third-year Lions
coach Tim Cokely said. "We played like
you play when you haven't played in a
long time."
Wakulla was up 20-3 at halftime, and
after the break no starters played.
"We had two turnovers early that
stopped drives and we can't do that, so
there's a lot of things to work," War Eagles coach Scott Klees said. "But I was
very proud of our defense, because I
thought they hit and ran to the ball very
well."
For next week he added: "Feleipe is going to play."

Saltwater
Apalachicola Bay
Captain Russ Knapp at Journeys on St.
George Island (info@sgislandjourneys.com
(850) 927 3259) said things picked up this week.
"Captain Paul Polous has been finding nice redfish in the creek mouths of East Bay. Live or
fresh-killed shrimp on the bottom have been
doing the trick. Flounder have been in the (Bob
Sikes) Cut and around structure in the bay."
Knapp said there have been "lots of small trout
behind the east end of St. George Island. Offshore, Captain Clint Taylor says live bottom and
live bait is the plan. All types of snapper and
grouper are looking for a meal. Really nice cobia
are showing up, so don't forget your flat line."
Apalachee Bay
Otto Hough at Myhometownfishing.com
(otto@myhometownfishing.com) said: "The
New Moon weekend was kind to many angers
in spite of the aggravating southeast winds that
seemingly blew all weekend. From east of the
Aucilla to Carrabelle, the reds were roaming
and feeding on the falling tides this past weekend and week. Good reports (came in) of quality
fish being taken at first light and late evening as
the tides were falling. Topwater was doing the
trick, both early and late in the skinny water.
The gold Aqua Dream spoon was a hot commodity up into the mid-morning hour. Tides for
our coming weekend," said Hough, "will be
high right around sunrise, falling towards midday. Even though we will be between moons in
the first quarter, the early morning tide once it
gets moving out ought to give up a pretty fair
bite on topwater plugs like the Skitterwalk, One
Knocker and Super Spook. The Bone pattern has
been the hot color with the light cloud cover
we've been experiencing each day. Same should
be the case over the weekend given the weather forecast for isolated to scattered showers, but
no washout.
"Last week," said Hough, "the stickbaits
(gold Redfin and Bomber Long A) really drew
the attention of the reds. Again, no reason not
to expect similar results. The constant string of
on and off rain over Apalachee Bay has served
to lower the water temps ever so slightly. The
trout bite has been frisky, but it is certainly picking up. Long about the first of September we
ought to see a marked increase in the trout
strikes." Said Hough: "Without question, there
are 'go fast' fish roaming the St. Marks Refuge
buoy line and well inside too. All are devouring
the schools of baitfish wandering the east and
west flats. Any lure with a shine will gain quick
attention from the Spanish (mackerel), jack crevalle and bluefish that have been slamming the
baitfish. For some catching fun, just do a little
'run & gun' action to the jittery pods and start
tossing those lures at 'em. Wire leaders (preferably black or brown) are definitely advisable.
Outside of the 9-mile-limit, the gags are liking
the live baits, especially the pinfish, over live
structure. Slow trolling (about 4.5 to 4.8 knots) a
Mann's Stretch 30 or a MirrOlure 111MR has
been producing a goodly number of good gags
over live bottom as well."
Captain Dave Lear in Tallahassee said strong
east winds and thunderstorms kept the lid on
fishing this past week. He said just a few anglers
caught trout and redfish on topwater Skitterwalks.
Keaton Beach
Captain Pat McGriff of One More Cast Guide
Service (www.onemorecast.net (850) 584-9145)
said: "Trout fishing was fair when we had a
breeze, and tough when we didn't this past
week, as evidenced by the seven trout Billy Pillow and I caught Thursday last. Friday, I had David and Drew Parkman of Columbus, Ga. out
and we landed eight trout and two black sea
bass while fishing with live pinfish under Back
Bay Thunder floats. Our fish came from 5.5-6.5
feet of water and the water temps ran from 8488 in the afternoon. "Saturday we dropped to
five trout and two black sea bass as the wind
dropped to less than 5 knots most of the day.
The trout simply didn't want to move in that
warm of water with no breeze. The catfish wore
us out despite where we might move and try.
Look for trout to act pretty much the same this
weekend," said McGriff, "although the tides
are backwards, so you will have to fish a falling
tide with a.m. highs. Live pinfish is the ticket, as I
have yet to catch a fish in the last three weeks on
plastic."
Steinhatchee
Richard McDavid at Sea Hag Marina in Steinhatchee (352-498-3008) sent some great photos
of this past week's action. The most outstanding
fish was a 26.5-inch trout caught by Tyler Revels.
Other anglers caught scattered trout and redfish. SCUBA divers have been slaying grouper
and other bottom species too slow to swim
away. Scallopers continue to get limits without
much effort.
Freshwater
Lake Miccosukee
Eli Reeves at Reeves Fish Camp and Campgrounds on Lake Miccosukee, (850) 893-9940,
said high temperatures and low water have
combined to make fishing difficult, but not impossible. Those who have bothered to go out
have been doing well on flyers (fly bream). He
said for some reason they recently have been
biting best on live crickets rather than live
worms. Anglers also have been catching perch
(specks) and lots of catfish (on worms). Reeves
said as the water cools, panfish should begin
bedding and catches getting better.
FILE PHOTO
Ralph Clark, left, with a 60-pound wahoo he caught while fishing off Destin.
Wahoo: One of the

toughest fish in the sea
According to legend, the name
wahoo came from the reaction of
the first angler to hook one on rod
and reel. He screamed it in a highpitched shriek (probably because
his rod wasn't in a holder when the
fish was hooked) and the name
stuck.
They look somewhat like a king
mackerel, but with
a more streamlined,
pointed body. The
cobalt-blue, vertically-striped, torpedo-shaped speedsters (Acanthocyubium solandri) are
recognized as one
of the fastest fish in
the sea. Granted
Jerry Gerardi some other fish
Outdoors
might be slightly
faster for short
bursts, but for sustained speed,
none can beat the wahoo.
Locating the Fish
The majority of the wahoo taken in this area are caught offshore
in blue water along the deep-water
side of reef edges, around deepwater wrecks, and near sea
mounts. Wahoo tend to be ambush
feeders, so they look for places to
hide. Their preferred water temperatures is between 72 and 80
degrees Fahrenheit. They have,
however, been taken in water temperatures as low as 68 degrees and
as high as 85 degrees.
On rough days wahoo tend to
stay deep. Anglers must get their
bait or lure down to where the fish
are. Downriggers, planers, wire
line and trolling weights are popular methods of fishing deep for
wahoo.
Specialized Tackle Needed
With a downrigger, virtually any
type of lure or bait can be taken
down to the fish. And when a hookup is made, the fish can be fought
without the added hassle of trolling weights or shock leaders.
Downriggers, however, are expensive. Plan on spending between
$150 and $500 or more for a good
one designed for saltwater use.
The best ones feature an electric
retrieve and the ability to vary the
trolling depth automatically (oscillate). Forget the models made for
freshwater trolling in the great
lakes. They will rust away after a
short time.
An alternative to the downrigger is a planer. It is cheaper, works
on hydrodynamic principles, but
puts added strain on tackle and
hampers fighting a fish. When they
work right a striking fish will trip
a mechanism, causing the planer
and hooked fish to rise to the surface...when they work right. Don't
bother if there is suspended seaweed in the water.
Wire line works well too, but
can be dangerous to anglers when
the fish is close to the boat. Wire
also puts an added strain on tackle
and should be used only on rods
that have roller guides. Monel wire
(a copper/nickel alloy) works best
(resists kinking), but soft stainless
steel wire is much cheaper. Your
call.
Fishing with heavy trolling
weights is the most inexpensive
way to get baits deep, and also the
most cumbersome. Regardless of
the method used, however, when
it's rough, the only way to catch
wahoo is to get down to them.
Rods should be very stout and
at least 6 feet long. The length will
give you added leverage. With a
big wahoo you will need all the
leverage you can get.
Reels should be capable of holding at least 400 yards of 30-poundtest line. The drag (brake) must be
smooth and capable of dissipating
a lot of heat. Runs of 100 yards are
not uncommon with wahoo. Make
sure the reel has a solid metal
spool and sturdy mounting hard-

ware. The last thing you want is

the reel spool to warp, bind, get
ripped out and take all your rod
guides and 6 inches of rod tip with
it as it disappears into the sea.
Makes for a bad day on the water.
Also make sure you have a wire
leader. Wahoo have excellent dental work that can easily slice
through even the heaviest monofilament leaders. No. 7 brown-tone
wire leaders at least 6 feet long
will do nicely.
Techniques
Successful wahoo fishermen
have found the best lure colors to
be combinations of red and black.
Red alone also works well. Spoons,
feathers, skirts, high-speed trolling
lures, and teasers in those colors
seem to catch the most wahoo.
When the water is calm wahoo
tend to move closer to the surface.
That's when anglers fishing with a
splashing red-and-black bait score
best. Another important point to
remember when it's calm is trolling speed. The calmer the seas, the
faster you troll. The more surface
commotion there is, the more wahoo hits you'll get. High-speed
trolling accounts for many of the
wahoo taken during the summer.
Where regular surface trolling is
about 6-7 knots, high-speed trolling
of specially designed lures can be
as much as 14 knots.
Live bait anglers can fish any
sea conditions for wahoo. If it's
rough, drop the baitfish down between 10 and 30 feet with either
lead weights or on a downrigger.
On calm days, freeline or troll
them slowly, just below the surface.
When you do catch a wahoo,
stay in the area. They seldom travel alone. Some of the better wahoo
fishermen will stay in the same
place for at least half an hour
when they catch one.

Tasty Table Fare
Wahoo is one of the finest fish in
the sea when it comes to table fare.
Steaked, marinated and grilled
over charcoal results in a superb
meal. The flesh cooks up firm,
white, and mild flavored. Sometimes wahoo can be dry, so baste
the fillets or steaks frequently
during cooking.

The 64th annual Florida State Football Kickoff Luncheon will
be held today at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. Doors open
at 11:30 am with the program beginning at noon. The event is

The voice of the Seminoles, Gene Deckerhoff, will be on hand
to introduce this years players and coaches. FSU president
John Thrasher, director of athletics Stan Wilcox and coach
Jimbo Fisher, the Marching Chiefs and FSU cheerleaders will
also make appearances.
Fans can view a live webcast of the event at

moved inside to play tackle much like Mario Edwards Jr. did for the Seminoles last season.
Smith credited defensive ends coach Brad
Lawing for his work helping the defensive lineman
improve their technique.
With the linemen working
to limit space inside the
pocket for quarterbacks,
the other players on defense can zone in on their
assignments with more
emphasis as well.
When you affect the
quarterback, it changes
the defense, Smith said.
It affects everybody.
When you take the quarterback out of his comfort
zone, it just throws the offense off. It throws their
rhythm off. They dont
have the time they need in
routes and things like
that. So it just gives everybody a chance to make
more plays.
Head coach Jimbo
Fisher has said his team
will play in nickel formation at least 70 percent of
the time to combat with
opposing offenses wishing to move the ball in the
passing game.
you know theres nothing

with not making it? ...
Aint nothing wrong
with getting an education.
If you made it from your
neighborhood, you made
it on campus, and all you
did was basically play to
the end at Florida State
and you got a real education not no (expletive)
classes thats cool.
Clarett is one of 12
speakers meeting with
the FSU football team in
the month of August in
light of off-field incidents
involving star running
back Dalvin Cook and former
quarterback
DeAndre Johnson this
summer.
That was one of the
most bona fide, true, legit
talks Ive been around in
college football in 28
years, trying to reach
these young men about
making the right choices
in life, FSU coach Jimbo
Fisher told ESPN. Having it all going to the bottom, that gives him a lot of
credibility, unfortunately.
But sometimes, these
guys have to see that.
But the Seminoles will
also use six defensive
backs in the dime package
because of FSUs linebacker situation, with
Smith and redshirt senior
Reggie Northrup as the
most experienced players
at the position.
Smith said backup linebackers Tyrell Lyons and
RoDerrick Hoskins are
a lot further along because of the experience
theyve gained as the No. 1
linebackers during spring
practice with Smith and
Northrup sidelined.
Transfer Lorenzo Phillips is also making strides
at the position. Smith said
Phillips is physical and
will be a playmaker for
us, but has to gain a better grasp of the playbook.
Any time Im in there
with him, if theres anything he doesnt know, I
tell him ask me questions, Smith said. Were
just trying to help him
along as much as he can.
Get him caught up quickly
because were going to
need everybody on our
linebacker staff.
Our depth is not as

but we have enough athletes and we enough people to get what we need

Florida State womens basketball coach Sue Semrau

received a contract extension on Thursday.
Sue Semrau signs

contract extension
Democrat staff report
Florida State University Director of Athletics Stan Wilcox announced Thursday the
contract extension of
womens
basketball
head coach Sue Semrau
through the 2019-2020
season.
Sues 18 seasons of
sustained success at
Florida State place her
in an exclusive group
nationally among her
peers, Wilcox said.
Our student-athletes
and the Tallahassee
community have been
the direct beneficiary of
her long-standing commitment to excellence.
What started as an
enormous task in rebuilding and resurrecting FSUs Womens
Hoops program in 1997
has turned out to be a
great success for Semrau. The winningest
head coach in program
history has recorded
348 victories that include two NCAA Elite
Eight
appearances
(2010,
2015),
three
NCAA Sweet 16 appearances (2007, 2010, 2015)
and 11 NCAA Tournament appearances.
It is an honor to continue as the head womens basketball coach at
Florida State University
for the foreseeable future, Semrau said.
FSU has a culture of
excellence, both academically and athletically, that I am proud to
be a part of. Thank you
to President Thrasher
and our Director of Athletics Stan Wilcox for
having faith in me and
allowing my time at this
great university to continue into the next decade.
Semrau is coming off
of a record breaking
2014-2015 season. She
was recognized for her
hard work and that of
her team when she was
named National Coach
of the Year by three different
organizations
(Associated
Press,
Womens
Basketball
Coaches
Association
and ESPNW). The Seminoles, comprised in
large part of players
with one or less years of
experience in a Florida
State uniform, set program records for total
wins in a season (32),
ACC wins (14), wins versus Top 25 opponents (6)
and regular-season victories (27). FSU went undefeated at home in the
Donald L. Tucker Center
(16-0), appeared in the
ACC Tournament Championship Finals and
reached the NCAA Elite
Eight.
Throughout her tenure at FSU, Semrau and
her teams have compiled an impressive list
of
accolades
and
achievements. A Seattle, Wash., native, Semrau has coached 22 AllACC players and has totaled 40 All-ACC selections. Fifteen of her
players have signed professional contracts to
play basketball in the
WNBA and overseas.
Coach Semrau has
done an outstanding job
of coaching her players
both on and off the
court, said FSU President John Thrasher.
"Her focus on academic
success and teaching
her teams to be leaders
on campus and in the
larger community by
contributing their time
and effort to help others
reflects so well on her
program and the entire
university.

Who calls the shots?

Cokely hopes to make a
decision at some point on
who his quarterback will
be, but neither of the two
he alternated between

Would-be starter Eric
Anderson and last year's
sophomore backup to
D'Anfernee McGriff was
on crutches and is out for
the season.
North Florida Christian junior transfer Ty
Glasco and sophomore
John Carey combined for
a 1 of 6 passing night for
just one yard in replacement.
"It wasn't them tonight,
it was us on the sideline
and not getting in sync
with our substitution pattern and my play-calling,"
Cokely said. "It wasn't the
quarterbacks, but it's part
of the connection we need
to have. We don't have continuity yet, and they do
things different than Eric
did.
"Both these guys have
never played for me, but
they don't play defense
and we need to tackle better."
Replacement player
With Franks sidelined,
junior Derek Allen started
at quarterback and ran
Wakulla's veer option offense.
He busted runs of 10
and 42 yards, and the effectiveness of the War Eagles' ground attack loosened Leon's secondary.

"I had to make the best
of it," Allen said. "Every
game I start I'm going to
be nervous at first. First

but we drove the ball down
the field and scored."
Star of the Game

The senior running
back waited patiently
while others got the first
several handoffs of the
game, but when he
touched the ball he made it
count.
Morris rushed for 76
yards on just seven carries and scored two touchdowns. His second touch-
down was a 45-yard scamper up the middle with a

few jukes thrown in for
good measure.
He even got in a powerful seal block to create outside leverage and allow
running back Demarcus
Lindsey to reach the edge
for an 11-yard gain to the
one-yard line.
"I saw the hole the
whole time, cut in and got
the score," Morris. "This is
nice. My senior year, I had
to do it. There's going to be
more like that."
fourth quarter.
Driggers was hitting
from 55 yards in warmups. The school record is
54.
"I've definitely improved over the offseason,
been to a lot of camps and
gotten exposure," said
Driggers, who was 32 of 34
on extra points last year
yet kicked and made both
field goals attempted.
"That last one I didn't
follow through all the way,
but we'll get it straightened out."

South Carolina power
Spartanburg in an ESPN
televised game on Saturday, Aug. 29 at 1 p.m.
To be honest, for the

last eight or 10 years
theres been a target on
our back. Weve been a
pretty good program for
a lot of years and now
weve got that one added
accolade that goes along
with it, being the national champions.
Florida State is the
No. 1 team in the National Soccer Coaches Association of Americas preseason poll, and was recently picked to repeat
as the ACCs champion.
I think were in a
really good spot, Krikorian said.
The mindset and the
level of commitment to
excellence was established back in January
after the championship
was over and we went on
the celebration tour. I
think we all thoroughly
enjoyed that but we all
understood this season
would be coming at
some point and hard
work would be necessary.
A talented group of
seniors including Jamia Fields (four postseason goals last season),
Dagny Brynjarsdottir
(MAC Hermann Trophy
finalist) and Kristin
Grubka (first-team AllAmerican) are gone
from the team this year,
but Krikorian was able
to reload with eight
freshman.
Krikorian said hell
also be able to rely on his

returning players.
I knew we had great
depth and great quality
in our returning players, Krikorian said.
Thats not to say we
didnt lose some great
players in the senior
class, because we did.
But we have a lot of kids
who are back that are
experienced
players.
We have some new kids
that I think are going to
contribute right away.
Senior
mid-fielder
Carson Pickett said
roles on the team are a
little different without
some of last years seniors.
Theres a ton of
freshman we have coming in and theyre very,
very good, she said.
Being a junior last
year, obviously I was in a
leadership role, but its a
whole other level when
youre a senior. Its a
whole other level when
you step on the field
knowing its your last goround. I think its very
different when everyone is moving up on the
scale and people are taking on different leadership roles.
Pickett and Williams
said the first game
against New Mexico will
serve as a good early
measuring stick for the
team.
The first game is
probably going to be a
little helter-skelter because were all going to
be so excited to compete
with one another, Pickett said.

to post consecutive 50-homer
seasons,
joining
Mark
McGwire, Ken Griffey Jr. and
Babe Ruth.
2005 Mike Jacobs of the
New York Mets homered in his
first major league at-bat during a 7-4 loss to Washington.
Jacobs is the 90th player to
homer in his first major league
at-bat.
2010 Washington's Stephen Strasburg was injured
for the second time in a month
and exited early, this time
wincing with a strained tendon in his right forearm, as the
Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-1.

Retooled Knights look

for 3rd straight AAC title
Associated Press

STEW MILNE/AP FILE
Central Florida coach George OLeary, left, speaks with

reporters at the American Athletic Conference media days
earlier this month in Newport, R.I.
ary said his charge remains the same.

My job is to win football games, I make no
bones about that, OLeary said.
The Knights will be
breaking in two new coordinators this season.
One is longtime assistant Brent Key, who assumes the offensive play
calling duties following
the retirement of Charlie
Taaffe. Key has been at
the past 11 years, and
most recently been in
charge of the offensive
line.
Taking over the defense is Chuck Bresnahan, who comes over
from rival South Florida.
Bresnahan
coached
alongside OLeary in the
late 1980s at Georgia
Tech.
But how far the
Knights go this season
will depend largely on
how comfortable junior
quarterback Justin Hol-
GREENSBORO, N.C.
man feels in his second

year under center.
OLeary likes what
hes seen early on. He
said I cant call him Nolan Ryan anymore, a
nod to how he used to describe Holmans immature, fire ball-style arm.
Holman said hes put
in the work to improve
this offseason, splitting
his offseason into two
parts. The first half focused on the mental
preparation and the second getting comfortable
on the field with several
new faces that will be expected to contribute this
season.
I feel great around
my teammates. I love being around these guys,
Holman said. I spend
most of my time with
them; I dont really do
anything outside of that.
When you step in the
locker room everybodys
coming to work with
their hard hat.
JARED C. TILTON/GETTY IMAGES
Tiger Woods tees off on the

second hole during
Thursdays first round of the
Wyndham Championship in
Greensboro, N.C.
to throw darts and go

low.
And while Compton
and McGirt threatened
the tournament record,
the clear story of the day
was Woods.
That
low
score
couldnt have come at a
better time for the biggest name in the sport.
He set the tone by holing a 54-foot chip shot on
his first hole, the par-4
10th, for the first of his
seven birdies. Finally,
he said, I got something
out of my round.
Woods arrived insisting he was playing better
than his recent results
might indicate.
He had missed the cut
in three straight majors
and had not finished better than a tie for 17th at
the Masters. Hes at No.
187 on the FedEx Cup
points list and probably

needs a win to move into
the top 125 and earn a
playoff spot.
Yet he said after last
weeks early exit from
the PGA Championship
that those results belied
the improvement he was
making in his game.
I know its crazy to
say, but I wasnt playing
that poorly at PGA,
Woods said. Any borderline shot (at Whistling
Straits) I never got away
with it, and thats the way
it goes. I felt like I was
hitting the ball good
enough and just kept progressing, and today was
just a continuation of it.
LPGA Tour
COQUITLAM, British Columbia Karine Icher
had six birdies in a seven-hole stretch and shot a

7-under 65 to take the
first-round lead in the
Canadian Pacific Womens Open.
The
36-year-old
Frenchwoman, winless
in 253 career LPGA Tour
starts, birdied Nos. 2, 5-6
and 8-11 at Vancouver
Golf Club, then closed
with seven pars.
Two-time champion
Lydia Ko was second after a 67.
Stacy Lewis, I.K. Kim,
Danah Bordner and Pernilla Lindberg shot 68.

Manuel lifts Bills past Browns

Manziel threw a touchdown pass and maybe
closed the gap on Browns
presumed starting quarterback Josh McCown in
Clevelands 11-10 loss to
the Buffalo Bills on
Thursday night.
Buffalos EJ Manuel,
attempting to beat out
Matt Cassel and Tyrod
Taylor for the starting
job, threw a 14-yard TD
pass to Andre Davis with
1:31 left. He then connected with rookie Bronson Hill for the 2-point
conversion to complete a
late rally by the Bills
(1-1).
Manziel had one last
chance, but he couldnt
pull off any magic as the
Browns (0-2) dropped

| GOLF ROUNDUP |
Tiger Woods kept saying

his game was getting better, even though his results didnt show it.
On his first day at the
Wyndham
Championship, his score finally
did.
Woods had his best
round in more than two
years Thursday, shooting a 6-under 64.
Two-time heart transplant recipient Erik
Compton,
William
McGirt and Tom Hoge
shared the first-round
lead at 62.
Morgan
Hoffman,
Jim Herman and Derek
Ernst followed at 63, and
Martin Kaymer, Davis
Love III and Carl Pettersson joined Woods at
64.
It was Woods lowest
score on the PGA Tour
since a 61 in the second
round of the WGCBridgestone Invitational
in 2013.
He and the others took
advantage of a low-scoring day at what he called
a tricky Donald Rossdesigned course at Sedgefield Country Club
that gave up bunches of
birdies after morning
showers softened the
fairways and greens.
When its like this,
Woods said, youve got

Kyle Hightower
ORLANDO Every
preseason its the same
ritual.
UCF coach George
OLeary sits down at his
desk, takes out a piece of
paper, looks down his
teams schedule and
writes down a prediction
for the upcoming year.
I was one off last
year, OLeary said of his
teams 9-4 finish a year
ago to claim their second
straight American Athletic Conference title. He
said the Connecticut
game threw him off.
Howd he do the year
before that, when the
Knights won a schoolrecord 12 games and the
Fiesta Bowl?
I was on the money,
OLeary said. Ill do it
again right around that
weekend before school
(begins). Ill put a number in the drawer and my
secretary sees me. I seal
it. I dont change it.
Entering his 12th season in Orlando, OLeary
has clearly come a long
way from his 0-11 first
season in 2004. With a
15-1 mark in their first
two seasons in the AAC,
the Knights enter 2015
again as one of the league
favorites.
They will be down 14
starters from a year ago,
which includes the loss
of their entire secondary
and top four receivers.
But in a new era that provides even less margin
for error for non-Power 5
conference teams, OLe-
their second straight exhibition at home.

Manziel
connected
with rookie Shane Wynn
on a 21-yard TD pass in
the fourth quarter.
RG3 leaves with injury: With zero help from
his offensive line, Robert
Griffin III repeatedly
wound up on the turf until leaving with a stinger
and possible head injury
after being sacked three
times and fumbling
twice Thursday night in
the Washington Redskins 21-17 exhibition
victory over the Detroit
Lions.
Griffin went 2 for 5
for 8 yards on four possessions for Washington
(2-0). On his final play,
early in the second quarter, he started to scramble but dropped the ball
5D
despite no contact. As the

quarterback went to the
ground to try to corral
the loose ball, Lions defensive end Corey Wootton landed on Griffin.
For Detroit (1-1), Matthew Stafford looked
good, going 6 of 8 for 78
yards and leading one
scoring drive that ended
with Matt Praters 49yard field goal.
When Griffin got hurt,
he stayed down on the
field for about 5 minutes
and was tended to by
trainers, while some
teammates kneeled nearby. When Griffin eventually rose, he slowly
stepped to the sideline,
then kept going until he
left the field and entered
the tunnel that leads to
the Redskins locker
room.

CHAMPION HARVICK
IS TOPPING HIMSELF
2015 performance
is more dominant
than it might seem
Jeff Gluck
jgluck@usatoday.com
USA TODAY Sports
Joe Gibbs Racing has been getting a ton of publicity lately, and
rightfully so. The teams Toyotas
have won six of the last eight
races and nine overall this season,
far more than any other team.
Its certainly fair to say JGRs
cars will be championship contenders this fall.
But championship favorites?
Lets pump the brakes for a second. Theres only one driver who
deserves that label, and he drives
a Chevrolet.
Kevin Harvick and his No. 4
Stewart-Haas Racing team are
having a better season than they
were last year, when Harvick won
his first Sprint Cup championship

after seeming to have the fastest
car every week.
But heading into the final three
races of the regular season beginning Saturday night at Bristol
Motor Speedway, Harvick has
seemed a bit overlooked at times.
Thats probably because hes won
only two races and none in the
last five months.
Look closer at the results from
this season, though, and it becomes clear the defending champ
is easily the favorite to repeat.
Its taken four of them (at
JGR) to do what hes doing, SHR
co-owner Tony Stewart said
Tuesday. Hes just consistent every week.
Harvick has nine second-place
finishes this season, including last
weekend at Michigan International Speedway. If he had converted even one-third of those
into victories, hed have more
wins than anyone else in the
series.
If you look at how many second-place finishes Kevin has had,
that can be as valuable as the
wins are (in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup), Stewart said.

Next, look at Harvicks overall
results. He already has two more
top-five finishes (16) than he had
all last season and has tied his
2014 total with 20 top-10s. And
this with 13 races still to go.
He has a legitimate shot to
break Jeff Gordons 2007 record
for the most top-10 finishes in
NASCARs modern era (30).
Want more? Last year, Harvick
had a 12.9 average finish en route
to the title. This year, hes averaging a finish of 7.8 more than
five spots better.
Then there are laps led a
sign of strength even if a driver
doesnt end up in victory lane.
Surely, Harvick isnt going to top
the whopping 2,137 laps he led
last season, right?
Well, hes on pace. Harvick has
led 1,406 laps this season; at this
point in 2014, he had led 899.
NASCARs loop data also show
he is having a year to remember.
His driver rating is 120.2, which
would beat Jimmie Johnsons
record of 112.2 from 2009.
You get the point: By every major statistic, Harvick is exceeding
his impressive performance from

last years championship run
and not just by a little.
So does it bother Harvick that
hes been a bit under the radar
despite running so well? When a
reporter asked that question a
few weeks ago at Pocono Raceway, Harvick immediately said he
didnt pay attention to what anyone was saying about his team.
But then he added something
that might sound frightening for
the competition.
I feel like well be even better
when the Chase starts and all the
pieces are where they need to be,
he said. As you look at the circumstances and the way that
things shake out, you cant force
winning. But if you run up in the
front all the time, youre going to
win your share.
Thats the scary part for everyone outside the No. 4 team. Just
like last year, Harvicks biggest
victories might be yet to come.

JOE FLEMING AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY
GLENDALE , ARIZ . Hours before

Jen Welter stepped onto the sideline as an assistant coach in an
NFL game, her mind was not just
on the history she was about to
make. It was on her players.
As she sat in her room at a hotel near University of Phoenix
Stadium, Welter wrote personal
notes to each of the Arizona Cardinals linebackers she had spent
several weeks coaching and one
for her mentor, inside linebackers
coach Larry Foote. When she arrived at the stadium for the preseason opener against the Kansas
City Chiefs, she left the notes for
the players, not realizing that
doesnt typically happen in a
coach-player relationship, especially in the NFL.
Third-year linebacker Kevin
Minter read a message that reminded him of things he and
Welter had discussed privately
over the previous two weeks,
about his personal goals and ca-
reer aspirations, about becoming

not just a full-time starter but
also a team leader. It was about
being that guy I always wanted to
be, Minter said.
This is such a tough business,
and a lot of our guys are really
young, Welter said. Its so special. Every moment that youre in
the NFL is a blessing, and I just
wanted them to know how important they each are.
Welter, 37, is midway through
her stint as the NFLs first female
assistant coach. Hired in July by
coach Bruce Arians as a preseason intern to help coach inside
linebackers, Welter has spent the
last three weeks fully immersed
in the job. Shes up early for the
first of many position meetings
and film sessions, on the field for
a morning walk-through practice,
back inside for more meetings before a two-hour practice in the afternoon. Then come more
meetings to review practice film
and prepare for the next day.
Time and personal interaction
is what it took to convince the
players that she is serious about
coaching.
DAVID KADLUBOWSKI, THE (PHOENX) ARIZONA REPUBLIC
Jen Welter, left, is a preseason coaching intern with the Cardinals, working with inside linebackers.
It was so much about having a
relationship, person to person,
because when they know you
care about them, they will do everything you want them to do,
Welter said.
Welter earned credibility with
the way she would reinforce the
ideas Foote was implementing
and how she pointed out flaws in
players techniques, and she impressed players with the speed
with which she would demonstrate position drills.
Going in, I had a really open
mind about the whole thing, be-
cause I knew that Coach Arians

wouldnt just bring someone in
just to bring them in. She met my
expectations that shed be good
and be helpful to the team, inside linebacker Glenn Carson
said.
Welters internship will be over
at the end of the preseason, at
which point shell figure out her
next career move.
I am not sure whats next. ...
Ive had such a great experience
with these guys. I love it. I could
do this for a long time, Welter
said.

BASEBALL
Pirates welcome surprise boost

Kang, Cervelli exceed
expectations to help
stoke playoff push
Joe Lemire
@LemireJoe
Special for USA TODAY Sports
Its a common ritual for a batter to step out of the box and look
for signs, but young Pittsburgh
Pirates right fielder Gregory Polanco is just as apt to be looking
into the dugout as at his thirdbase coach. Thats because he often finds in-bat counsel from
catcher Francisco Cervelli.
Between pitches, always. If he
is not on base, hes in the dugout
watching, Polanco said. Hes always supporting me: Stay short,
dont take your eye off the ball.
Cervelli deflects his teammates gratitude toward the encouraging and collaborative
example set by manager Clint
Hurdle and the aid his older
teammates showed when he arrived in the big leagues with the
New York Yankees. This type of
mentoring is a less obvious contribution than Cervellis more visible role as a stellar defender and
on-base machine.
The Pirates offseason trade of
reliever Justin Wilson for Cervelli
and their bargain signing of leftside infielder and former Korean
Baseball Organization MVP Jung
Ho Kang for four seasons at only
a $16 million commitment rank
as some of the savviest, yet least
heralded, offseason transactions.
Cervelli and Kang rank behind
only Andrew McCutchen on the
Pirates leaderboard for on-base
percentage and on-base-plusslugging percentage (OPS) in addition to their above-average defense, helping the club to the
majors third-best record.
Thursday, they began a key
four-game series at PNC Park
against the San Francisco Giants,
a rematch of the 2014 wild-card
game that launched San Franciscos World Series championship
run. The Pirates entered Thursday with a seven-game cushion
for a National League wild-card
spot, with hopes of adding to it by
winning this weekends series;
three of the four games will be
nationally televised, including
Sunday nights on ESPN.
A QUICK TRANSITION
Kang
(pronounced
Ghang)
crossed Pittsburghs radar a few
years ago and, as rumblings of his
CHARLES LECLAIRE, USA TODAY SPORTS
Francisco Cervelli, left, and Jung Ho Kang took much different routes to the Pirates, but both
have made major impacts as Pittsburghs seeks its third consecutive playoff berth.
interest in joining the majors intensified, so too did the Pirates
interest. General manager Neal
Huntington said several scouts
took looks. The organization
watched a ton of video, and club
analysts constructed a statistical
model to project how Kangs
KBO performance might translate to Major League Baseball.
The Pirates could assume he
wouldnt bat .356 with 40 home
runs, as he did in 2014 for the
Nexen Heroes, just as he likely
wouldnt win a Gold Glove at
shortstop. But they knew he
would contribute.
We said from the outset that
we believe hes a regular player at
the big-league level, Huntington
said. We just werent sure where,
and we werent sure when.
His agency, Octagon Baseball,
is a leader in the representation
of international players. Its managing director, Alan Nero, said the
majority of foreign-born players
who fail do so because of the
transition, not the talent.
To help, Octagons Jae Han
spent seven weeks with Kang at
the beginning of the season, and
Nero was complimentary of the
efforts made by Huntington and
his staff, which included learning
a few Korean words and customs,
as well as not immediately thrusting him into the everyday lineup.
According to Cots Contracts,
Kangs agreement with the Pi-
rates includes up to $50,000 for

round-trip business-class flights
to South Korea, as well as his own
interpreter and English-language
instruction.
I think the thing were most
pleased with is how quickly hes
made the cultural transition,
Huntington said. I dont think
that gets nearly enough credit
when someone moves cultures. ...
We knew he was intelligent.
We knew he loved to play the
game. And we knew he loved to
compete. But he has exceeded
our expectations in terms of how
easily hes made the transition
from Korean culture to American
culture, from Korean baseball to
American baseball (and) the
speed of the game.
Kang has started near-equal
amounts at third base and shortstop, and his bat has come alive in
the second half. Before the AllStar break, he batted .268 with
four home runs in 72 games; entering Thursday, he was batting
.318 since the break with six homers in 29 games with an OPS that
was more than 200 points higher.
His play and production at
shortstop since Jordy Mercer suffered a knee injury July 19 solidified what could have been a
trouble spot for the Pirates.
Seeing a lot of pitchers, playing a lot of games it all helped
me to be more comfortable at bat,
to be more confident at bat,
Kang said through his interpreter.

He is the first hitter to make
the move directly from Koreas
top league, though his former Heroes teammate, first baseman Byung Ho Park, who has averaged 41
homers the last four seasons, is
expected to follow suit next
winter.
Im not trying to think about
myself as a pioneer, the first time
coming out of the KBO as a position player, Kang said. Its too
far out there. Im just thinking
about day by day, pitch by pitch.
KEEP MOVING FORWARD
After free agent catcher Russell

Martin left to join the Toronto
Blue Jays over the winter, the Pirates targeted Cervelli, who had
played 250 games in seven seasons with the Yankees. In that
limited, injury-plagued tenure in
the Bronx, he demonstrated an
ability to get on base and be an effective backstop.
We pursued him aggressively
because of the defense and because we knew it was going to be
awfully difficult to replace the entire package of Russ that was
leaving, Huntington said.
Cervellis one opportunity to
be a full-time starter in 2013 was
quickly derailed. He was sidelined
in late April after suffering a broken finger that required surgery
and then received a 50-game sus-
pension for his association with

the Biogenesis clinic.
That year was really tough
with the injury, but I never give
up on my dreams and my goals,
he said.
I always wanted to be in this
position and catch every day,
come to the field knowing that
Im going to play. You cannot give
up on yourself. You have to keep
moving forward no matter what
happens.
He returned to the Yankees in
2014 and had a .301/.370/.432
(batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage) line
in 162 plate appearances; entering Thursday, he had a .307/.375/
.429 line in 362 plate appearances, indicating that his offense
was no small-sample fluke.
For the Pirates, he stated a goal
of catching at least 120 games and
prepared accordingly with extra
but efficient weight lifting,
particularly for his legs. He has
logged the majors eighth most
innings at catcher this season.
Cervelli also spent more time
working on his pitch framing
with catching instructor Gary
Tuck, who is also the Yankees
bullpen coach. As a result of that
work, Cervelli ranks first among
all catchers in framing according
to website StatCorner; he ranks
eighth according to Baseball
Prospectus.
He put me in new drills to
make me calm down behind the
plate. Thats the only way that I
can frame, Cervelli said. The
most important thing is working
with my energy. Ive got too much
energy, so Ive got to calm down
and have the balance.
That energy emerges in playful
moments with teammates, especially Kang. The close proximity
of their uniform numbers 27
for Kang, 29 for Cervelli means
their lockers are often adjacent
on the road. (They are even closer
in age: 28 for Kang, 29 for Cervelli.) Upon arriving at the park last
Friday, Cervelli greeted Kang
with a kiss on the top of his head.
Since the first day, he came
over playing his game, Cervelli
said of Kang. He never was shy.
Now he knows more English, so
hes able to speak more, but its
great, man. Hes a great player
and a great person.
They are an unlikely pair with
unexpected achievements as the
Pirates hope to make an uninterrupted march into and through
October.
Lemire reported from New York.
USA TODAY Q&A WITH DAVID LETTERMAN
TV legend cautious about shot at first IndyCar title

and he looked at me and he
frowned. He waved it off. We had
one lap to go under yellow and he
still wasnt willing to concede that
this was in the stars. So that was a
lesson for me that day even
though we did go on, Buddy Rice
went on to win. So its new territory. Im being cautious because I
have learned that about racing,
but you cant help but think the
kids gonna win. Was that a little long-winded?
Brant James
@brantjames
USA TODAY Sports
David Letterman wants to believe. But hes reticent. Hes never

been this close before, and he can
almost anticipate the weight of
the IndyCar championship trophy in his hands. It would feel
wonderfully heavy after two decades of waiting.
But the recently retired latenight talk show host and television icon has been around this
emotionally wrenching sport long
enough as a fan growing up in
Indiana and as a co-owner of a
team since 1996 that has evolved
into Rahal Letterman Lanigan
Racing to understand that
hope cannot be fully indulged until a trophy is being cradled.
That was a lesson learned in
his greatest motor sports accomplishment so far, when his team
won the Indianapolis 500 in
2004 with Buddy Rice. And its a
lesson he will continue to apply
despite temptation as he watches
Graham Rahal attempt to overcome a nine-point deficit to leader Juan Pablo Montoya with two
races remaining.
After spending 19 years as a
partner with co-owner Bobby Rahal and watching Rahals son,
Graham, grow from boyhood,
Letterman knows theres more to
the story than a trophy. A father
himself to Harry, 11, who also has
had his heart broken by racing,
Letterman wants this on many
levels. But he keeps harking back
to advice delivered from a former
team executive in the waning laps
of the 2004 Indianapolis 500 as
Rice circled to what seemed like
and eventually was an inevitable victory under caution.
Q: Thats perfect. Longwinded is awesome. We love

long-winded. The longer the
wind the better the answer. I
am all on board with that.
A: All right.
JONATHAN FERREY, GETTY IMAGES
Buddy Rice, center, celebrates his victory in the 2004 Indianapolis 500 with team owners David Letterman, left, and Bobby
Rahal, right, sitting on his car.
Its kind of a razors edge, because you want it to come true so
desperately, Letterman told USA
TODAY Sports, but the lesson I
learned from the late Scott
Roembke is: Its racing, and you
cant even pretend that its going
to come true until they drop the
checkered flag.
In an exclusive interview with
USA TODAY Sports, Letterman
spoke about his lifetime in racing.
Q: How does it feel getting
this close to the potential first
IndyCar championship?
A: I have to choose my words
carefully, because over the years
this has not been on the horizon,
I dont believe. I dont think weve
even been close to the horizon
with something like this, and I
think the last driver to win (an
open-wheel championship) for
Bobbys racing team in fact, a
championship, is Bobby (in CART

in 1992) and then the other day
someone said to me when Graham won at Fontana, it had been
over 120 some races between that
win and the win in St. Pete (in
2008), which I just found to be a
jaw-dropping statistic. So this is
delightfully new to me, and, you
know, theres always a chance it
couldnt happen, because racing
is life and anything can happen in
either.
But to now all of a sudden be
nine points away from this coming to pass, it does provide you
with a little giddiness. But I am
reminded when we won the 500
and it was a rain-shortened race
that finished under a yellow and a
white, I think, because it was
raining and there was one lap to
go and I looked at Scott Roembke,
who was on the timing bench
there, and I sort of smiled at him
Q: How do you think this

would compare to winning
the Indianapolis 500?
A: To me, the idea of winning
the championship ... Ive won
some awards and have been very
lucky in my life, because of my
team, to have won some awards
and then now in my racing life to
have won the Indianapolis 500.
And the IndyCar championship,
thats pretty good. I dont know
what else there would be that you
would even care about. So, what a
gift. These guys all flatter me because I have nothing to do with it.
So Graham gets to be the champion. He deserves it. The team deserves it, but I also, my name will
be somewhere in the paper.
(Laughs.)
Its fantastic. Its great. What
did I really do here? Well, I didnt
really have to leave the house
much.
Q: What is your daily level
of involvement with the
team? Call asking about how
the car is running?
A: Im fascinated by that sort of

thing and when I go to races, it
has changed so much since I first
became interested that I now no
longer understand exactly whats
going on, other than the balance
of the car, aerodynamically, the
downforce and the power plant.
Everything else ... I mean if you
take a look at the aerodynamic
packages on these cars since
theyve added the rear cowling,
youd have to get an HVAC guy
here to fine-tune them. I dont
know whats going on. But it still,
its interesting.
Graham is driving in a different
way this year that I think (it) is
noticeable even to casual race
fans. Ive not seen him driving the
way he is now.
And its confidence. ... I kept
trying to think, where did this
confidence come from? Because
he didnt have it a year ago, and
what is significantly different
about the team this year from last
year? And I dont know. Did he
bring the confidence to the team?
I suspect that something internal
in the team gave him the confidence and then he rewarded their
confidence with his own.
He also seems like hes in tremendous physical condition, and
then people invoke the fact that,
Well, hes also getting married.
Q: Will you be there to revel
in person?
A: Were trying to do one or the
other. Sonoma (Raceway on Aug.
30) would include the and I
cant even say this would include the victory banquet the
next night, but thats something
Scott Roembke would say to me,
No, no, no. Were not even making plans. Dont bring your tuxedo, dumbass. So I cant even
talk like that.

Detroit, Silicon Valley

converge on car tech
Automakers turn to Silicon
Valley as vehicles evolve
Toyota to
show off
redesigned
Prius
hybrid
Dee-Ann Durbin
Associated Press
PALO ALTO, Calif. The office has all

the trappings of a high-tech startup.
Theres a giant beanbag in the foyer and
erasable, white board walls for brainstorming. Someones pet dog lounges
happily on the sunny balcony.
Welcome to the Palo Alto home of the
Ford Motor Co., six miles from the headquarters of Google.
Meanwhile, in a squat, industrial
building in suburban Detroit, a short
drive from Fords headquarters, workers are busy building a small fleet of
driverless cars.
The company behind them? Google.
The convergence of cars and computers is blurring the traditional geographical boundaries of both industries. Silicon Valley is dotted with research labs
opened by automakers and suppliers
who are racing to develop high-tech infotainment systems and autonomous
cars. Tech companies looking to grow
and sensing an industry thats ripe for
disruption are heading to Detroit to
better understand the auto industry and
get their software embedded into cars.
The result is both heated competition
and unprecedented cooperation between two industries that rarely spoke
to each other five years ago.
Its a cross-pollination. Were educating both sides, says Niall Berkerey,
who runs the Detroit office of Telenav, a
Sunnyvale, California-based firm that
makes navigation software.
Data driven
For years the fast-paced tech industry showed little respect for the plodding car industry. Google and Palo Altobased Tesla, with its high-tech electric
sedans, convinced many to give the industry another look. The average car
now processes more than 4,200 signals
from the engine and transmission to
the backup camera to the radio using
40 electronic control units, according to
Boston Consulting Group. Those units
can contain up to 100 million lines of
computer code, more than in a fighter
jet. The average number of control units
has climbed from 30 in 2007; some luxury cars have as many as 100.
People think its shiny Silicon Valley
versus grungy Detroit, but thats garbage, says Chris Urmson, who leads
Googles self-driving car program. If

Center in Palo Alto, Calif.
you look at the complexity of a vehicle,

its an engineering marvel.
Dragos Maciuca, a former Apple engineer whos now the technical director
of Fords Palo Alto research lab, says
hes seeing a new excitement about the
auto industry in Silicon Valley. For one
thing, cars provide a palpable sense of
accomplishment for software engineers.
If you work at Google or Yahoo, its
hard to point out, Well, I wrote that
piece of code. Its really hard to be excited about it or show your kids, Maciuca he says. In the auto industry, you can
go, See that button? The stuff thats behind it, I worked on that.
Tough standards
But cocky tech companies have had
to adapt to the tough standards of the auto industry, which requires technology
to work perfectly, for years, in all kinds
of conditions. Maciuca spends much of
his time educating software and app developers about the industrys needs.
Silicon Valley goes toward this model of a minimum viable product. Its easy
to throw things out there and try them
and see if they work, Maciuca says.
We cant do that.
Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia
was best known for making chips for
computer games before it got into the
car business. Now, it makes the computer processors that power Teslas 17-inch
touchscreen dashboard and Audis experimental self-driving cars, among

other products. It had to develop new
manufacturing techniques and higher
levels of certification for the auto business, such as tests to make sure its computer chips would still work in subzero
temperatures, says Danny Shapiro, Nvidias senior director of automotive.
For their part, the automakers are
learning that rolling out cars that remain static for years until the next model comes out is no longer practical. At
the insistence of tech companies such as
Telenav and Nvidia, theyre learning to
make cars with navigation, infotainment and other features that can be constantly updated. Mercedes-Benz, Tesla,
Toyota, BMW and others can now update vehicle software wirelessly to fix
problems or add more capability
Shapiro says the cost-conscious auto
industry has had to learn to spend a little
more maybe $10 to $20 per car on
computer hardware. Automakers would
often go with the cheapest option but
then spend even more fixing bugs, or be
forced to replace processors that didnt
have enough power to add updates.
Nvidia now has eight permanent engineers at various automakers in Michigan.
Weve helped them adopt more of a
computer industry mindset, which is not
to reinvent what theyre doing every
five to seven years, Shapiro says.
Japanese automaker Toyota will

reveal the redesigned version of its
Prius hybrid in Las Vegas on Sept. 8.
Spokesman Scott Vazin confirmed
the plans but did not provide any other details on the new styling or fuel
economy of the worlds most popular
hybrid.
The vehicles arrival comes during
an abysmal stretch for hybrid vehicles, which are suffering in the wake
of the dramatic collapse in oil prices.
Cheap gasoline is fueling a surge for
pickup trucks, sport-utility vehicles
and crossovers.
Prius sales in the U.S. fell 15 percent during the first seven months of
2015, compared to the same period a
year earlier.
Still, the Prius has accounted for
82 percent of all industry hybrid
sales so far this year, according to
Kelley Blue Book. Toyota has sold
108,073 units of the car in the U.S.
That figure includes the Prius c, a
smaller version of the hybrid, and the
bigger Prius v.
The Prius lineup hasnt gotten a
major overhaul in nearly seven
years.
Industry observers will be watching the Sept. 8 announcement closely
for any clues on the cars new fuel
economy figure. The baseline 2015
Prius gets 50 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving, according to the EPA.
That compares to average industry fuel economy of 25.4 miles per
gallon in July, according to the University of Michigan Transportation
Research Institute.

Not only does litter look ugly, it can cause serious

harm to wild animals even to animals that live far
away from where the litter was first dropped. Some
litter looks like food. Other litter

Litter can wash into rivers and

streams and be carried to oceans
and bays. There, birds, sea
turtles and even whales can

Stewart, Eisenberg charming in American Ultra

Jake Coyle
Associated Press
The likably awkward

chemistry of Kristen
Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg remains intact in
American Ultra, a violent stoner action-comedy thats half Pineapple
Express, half The
Bourne Identity and not
as good as either.
Stewart and Eisenberg, who starred together in the splendidly lowkey summer comedy
Adventureland, again
come together as an appealing, mutually mopheaded tandem that
matches Eisenbergs
stuttering unease with
Stewarts deadpan cool.
They play a flannelwearing West Virginia
couple, Mike and Phoebe,
happy together despite
Mikes weed habit, perpetual apologizing and

Ultra is a stoners paranoia come to life. A toothless Walter Goggins joins

the strong ensemble as
the nuttiest of the CIAs
small army, along with
John Leguizamo as a
local drug dealer.
The assembled talent
could use more character
development and a little
more wit in place of the
sadistic, fun-draining
comic-book action scenes
that increasingly co-opts
the comedy, which is too
dependent on the eventually tiresome joke of
Eisenberg as action hero.
But American Ultra
has its simple genre
charms, thanks significantly to its entertaining
cast and leading pair.
Stewart, in particular,
looks like shes punching
below her weight class.
As is often the case, she
is the best thing in the
movie. And she and Eisenberg remain lazy
losers we can love, Bonnie and Clyde for a more
laid-back generation.

Hitman: Agent 47 competent, forgettable

Randy Cordova
Gannett
Rupert Friend has a

knack for creating soulful, empathetic characters in such projects as
Mrs. Palfrey at the
Claremont and TVs
Homeland. Playing the
title role in Hitman:
Agent 47, he goes way
against type, starring as
an emotionless killing
machine with barely any
hint of humanity. Now,
Im all for a performer
stretching, but this
doesnt seem like it plays
to the actors particular
strengths. Whats next?
Jason Statham as Tevye
in a Fiddler on the Roof
revival?
Hitman: Agent 47 is
based on a video game.
That information tells
you a lot about what to
expect. For example, plot
and characterization are
all secondary to the kicky
action sequences, in
which Agent 47 relentlessly and methodically
eliminates anyone who
gets in his way. All the
butt-kicking takes place
in exotic locales, such as
Singapores Gardens by
the Bay, so its like getting a tourism commercial and mindlessly violent potboiler all at the
same time.
The plot is simulta-
HITMAN:
AGENT 47
Rated: R, for strong
violence and language.
Star rating: eee
neously overstuffed and

lean. Agent 47 is a genetically engineered human
created by a scientist
who is now missing.
Agent 47 is tracking
down Katia (Hannah
Ware from TVs Boss),
a nervous, neurotic woman with amazing mathematical skills and troubling flashbacks. There
is also a third member of
the triangle, John Smith
(Zachary Quinto), who
shows up to explain to
Katia (and the audience)
what all the shooting and
slicing is about.
Newbie director Aleksander Bach handles the
project with a competent
precision. The film
doesnt rise above the
genre and the plot is
muddled, but he pulls off
the basic elements with a
distinctly chilly European style. Things blow
up, heads smash together
and blood spatters, and
its moderately entertaining and instantly forgettable. In that way, its a
lot like a video game.

animated spin-off from Despicable Me (2010). Co-
directed by Pierre Coffin, who

sexual content and humor.

Ronald Reagan, escapes from
his Swedish rest home during
his 100th birthday party to go

dangerous misadventure.
Darkly funny picaresque tale

fast-moving, giddy, slightly
annoying musical comedy. Its

RICKI AND THE FLASH

Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline.
After years spent playing the
bar-room circuit in California,
an estranged mother returns
home to Indiana to console
her mentally fragile daughter
and stumble upon a family
wedding where she is not
welcome. Comedy-drama
directed by Jonathan Demme
(Something Wild, Silence
of the Lambs) and written
by Diablo Cody (Juno,
Young Adult), whose melodramatic script is not as sharp
and crackling as usual. The

live musical songs are pretty
great, though. With Rick
Springfield, Bernie Worrell,
Audra McDonald and Mamie
Gummer (Streeps daughter in
real life). Keep an eye out for
Tallahassee artists Jim Roche
and Alexa Kleinbard as exuberant dancers and fans who
shout out the request for
Doby Grays Drift Away. (B-)

SAN ANDREAS

violence, scary special effects.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson,
Alexandra Daddario. While
the Hoover Dam crumbles
and California finally tumbles
into the ocean thanks to
catastrophic earthquakes
along a fault line, a divorcebound helicopter pilot rushes
to save his family from collapsing skyscrapers. So-badits-good disaster flick directed by Brad Peyton (Cats &
Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty
Galore), whose love of bad
dialog and action-movie
cliches is as endless as the
torrents that take down the
big dam. Enjoyable for all the
wrong reasons, though it
quickly wears out its wel-
come. With Carla Gugino,

Kylie Minogue and Paul
Giamatti. (C+)

Voices of Justin Fletcher, John
Sparkes. A clever, slightly
mischievous farm animal and
his barnyard pals venture into
The Big City to find their
owner-farmer, whos been
bonked on head and is suffering from memory loss.
Stop-motion comedy from
Aardman Animations, the
geniuses behind Chicken
Run (2000) and The Curse
of the Were-Rabbit (2005).
Thoroughly delightful family
film that has plenty of smarts
while its tickling your funny
bone. (A-)
Tallahassee Mall: 10:15 a.m.
R, 115 minutes. Crude language, bloody violence,

sexual humor, graphic nudity,
smoking.
Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law.
In this comedic take on James
Bond flicks, an overlooked,
mousy, desk-bound analyst
for the CIA is thrown into the
middle of a dangerous mission in Europe involving a
missing nuclear bomb. She
proves surprisingly good at
the job. Directed by Paul Feig
(Bridesmaids, The Heat),
who just relies on McCarthys
wisecracking to pad out this
overly long spoof that runs
out of energy before the end.
With Jason Statham, Rose
Byrne, Miranda Hart, Bobby
Cannavale and Allison Janney. (C+)

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON
R, 157 minutes. Rough language, violence, strong sexual

OShea Jackson Jr., Jason
Mitchell. In the late 80s,
friends from the racially tense
streets of Los Angeles
including future superstars Dr.
Dre and Ice Cube focus
their frustrations and anger
into their music while forming the influential rap group
N.W.A. It scares the bejesus
out of white America in the
era of Rodney King. Fastmoving bio-pic directed by F.
Gary Gray (Friday, The
Italian Job) feels unusually
timely considering the current
atmosphere of Ferguson and
umpteen police shootings.
Jackson Jr. is the son of Ice
Cube and its like watching an

Brady. (C+)
Movies 8: 7:20, 9:50
TERMINATOR GENISYS

non-stop violence, scary

cause for ear damage.
Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke. In
this confusing, shape-shifting
reboot/reshuffle of John
Camerons straight-up great
The Terminator (1984), the
human fighters jump into a
time-travel portal to bounce
through the years 1984,
2017, 2029, maybe more

annoying Sarah Connor from
becoming machine meat.
Connor, it turns out, has a
personal protector Terminator (a waxy Arnold Schwarzenegger) that she calls Pops.
That tells you all you need to

Choosing Jimmy Choos

Rickie Lee Jones is back with a winning song
Mark Hinson
Democrat senior writer
On Monday morning,
when the students officially report back to
class at the citys three
colleges, the summer
comes to a crashing halt.
Just ignore the autumnal
equinox on Sept. 23, because its a liar.
That also means its
time to hurry up and
select a Song Of The
Summer 2015 before the
school bell rings.
Over the years, this
great honor has gone to
such big hits as Why
Cant We Be Friends by
War, Every Breath You
Take by The Police and
the blatantly obvious
Summer Girls by LFO.
In this century, recent
winners were Poker
Face by Lady Gaga in
2009 and Carly Rae Jepsens Call Me Maybe in
2012. There was a tie in
2013 between between
Daft Punks irresistible
Get Lucky and Robin
Thickes polka-funk
Blurred Lines, even
though both were lifted
straight from the late
70s.
Last summer, during
the Dog Days, I picked
Jason Derulo and Snoop
Doggs derriere-obsessed, objectifying,
blatantly sexist Wiggle,
which was a Top 10 hit on
the Billboard charts and
sold more than one million copies. Each copy
probably arrived with a
miniature strippers pole
attached.
This year, its kind of
tricky. The most obvious
candidate is the Aussie
pop-punk band 5 Seconds
of Summers giddy sing-

according to Mark Hinson.
along Shes Kinda Hot.

Its like having The
Knack back, or something. Still, its too blatant.
Speaking of obvious
plays, dubstep kings
Skrillex and Diplo
teamed up with some
Canadian kid named
Justin Bieber to make
moody club song that
was not hellbent on rattling your spleen out
through your nostrils. Its
nice to see them trying
something new, but its
definitely not the Song Of
The Summer 2015.
Some this years runners-up include: I Know
Theres Gonna be (Good
Times) by Jamie xx, Ft.
Young Thug and Popcaan, Bad Blood by the
ubiquitous Taylor Swift

and Blue Suede by
Vince Staples (who is on
the cover of this issue of
Limelight and playing for
free at 8 p.m. Saturday
on the Florida State University Union Green).
All worthy efforts, to
be sure, but Im casting
the young kids aside to
name Rickie Lee Jones
Jimmy Choos as the
Song of the Summer
2015.
Jones, 60, had not put
a new album in 10 years
until she crowd-funded
her fans to record The
Other Side of Desire,
which she recorded in
her adopted hometown of
New Orleans. The single
Jimmy Choos is the
lilting opening cut from
the album and its sung

from the point of view of
a friend trying to cheer
up a depressed pal
named Pauline.
The lyrics go: But
dont tarry in the street
Pauline/ Because the
cops down here theyre
cold and mean/ If they
see you up there on your
hot tin roof/ Throwing
pop bottles at them/ With
your gold-capped tooth.
With vivid song lyrics
like that it should come
as no surprise that Jones
used to hang around with
Tom Waits in Los Angeles
before she shot to fame
in 1979 with her smash
Chuck E.s in Love. By
the end of Jimmy
Choos, Jones turns the
Malaysian footwear-
designers name into a

repetitive scat-singing
riff. Its the most delightfully eccentric product
placement ever recorded.
By the way, the rest of
the Desire album is
just as good. Highly recommended, even if Skrillex did not help mix it.
Slip on your Jimmy
Choos and lets take a
walk through the citys
music scene over the
next few days. Here is a

| COVER STORY |
Here are 15 concerts worth seeking out

this fall in Tallahassee
Mark Hinson
Sure, the college students snarl the traffic,

gobble up all the Gut
Boxes at Guthries and
crowd the bars but,
youve got to admit, the
music scene is a helluva
lot better when the little
scamps flock back to the
city each fall.
With that in mind, we
here at Limelight decided to take a look ahead at
some of the dont-miss
shows coming to Tallahassee during the latest
fall semester. Theres a
lot going on, so lets not
waste time:
1.) Vince Staples on
Saturday on the Florida
State Union Green. Dont
let Staples laid-back,
Southern Californiamarinated delivery fool
you. Staples is a young
man (hes only 22!) with a
lot on his mind. While
much of todays rap
scene is filled with partyanthem piffle and narcissistic preening, Staples
explores the grayer
areas: Fight between my
conscience and the skin
thats on my body, man / I
need to fight the power
but I need that new Ferrari, man. His debut
album, Summertime
06, released earlier this
summer, garnered critical raves and a tranceinducing, R-rated hit
called Blue Suede.
Catch Staples outdoors
under the stars at 8 p.m.
Saturday on the Union
Green for the annual
Last Call Before Fall
concert. Its a free show
but no coolers are allowed.
2.) KRS-One on Sept. 6
at The Side Bar Theatre.
How many other rappers
MEREDITH TRUAX
Rising rap star Vince Staples is the star of the Last Call Before Fall concert on Saturday night at Florida States Union Green.
can claim they have recorded a tune with altrock gods R.E.M. (Radio
Song) and were immortalized in a ditty by Sublime? Plus, hes still going strong in the 21st
century. In September,
KRS-One will release a
new album titled Now
Hear This, so expect
plenty of fresh material
along with such signature songs as I Cant
Wake Up and Black
Cop. Tickets are $18 and
$20. Its an all-ages show.
3.) Walk The Moon on

Oct. 12 at, where else,
The Moon. Who says
music videos are a thing
of the past? The fanmade compilation video
featuring famous moviemusical scenes played
out to Walk The Moons
infectious, U2-y hit Shut
Up and Dance garnered
more than 6 million
views on YouTube. The
video cant help but bring
a smile to your face. The
power-pop band from
Ohio took its name from
The Police song Walking

on the Moon, in case you
were wondering. Tickets
are $25 and Holychild is
opening the proceedings.
4.) Rene Fleming and
The Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra on Oct. 16
in Ruby Diamond Concert Hall. Is there an
opera star on Earth who
is more beautiful and
captivating than the
American superstar
soprano? Quick answer:
no. Fleming is planning a
visit to help the TSO
celebrate its 35th anniversary by singing Puccini, Strauss and a few

tunes from Broadways
King and I. The singer
has close ties to Tallahassee through opera composer Carlisle Floyd.
When Floyds landmark
opera Susannah had its
premiere at the Metropolitan Opera House in
1999, guess who starred
in the title role? Tickets
to the TSO-Fleming show
range from $80 to $150.
5.) Edgar Meyer and
Christian McBride on
Oct. 24 in Opperman
Music Hall. With apologies to Meghan Trainor,
it really is all about that
bass when two of the best
bass-thumpers in the
nation team up for the
first time to do, well,
whatever they damn well
please. McBride is a big
name in the jazz world
while Meyer keeps his
dog-house fiddle busy in
several musical worlds:
classical, jazz and even
Bela Fleck-ian bluegrass.
| COVER STORY |
This is a wild card worth
checking out in a small
hall at the Opening
Nights Performing Arts
festival. Tickets are $60.
6.) New Orleans Suspects on Oct. 25 at The
Bradfordville Blues
Club. If youve never
been, its worth the trip
out in the woods just to
see the Bradfordville
Blues Club, which is one
of the few remaining
authentic juke joints left
in the South. The Big
Easy supergroup New
Orleans Suspects, which
features players from
The Radiators and The
Neville Brothers band,
always includes a BBC
date on its tours of the
Southeast just because
the musicians like the
vibe of the joint. You will,
too. Tickets are $20 advance and $25 day of the
show.
7.) Soul Asylum and
the Meat Puppets on Oct.
27 at The Moon. Rediscover 80s alt-rock when
two of the eras most
admired bands head
south in the fall. Soul
Asylum, which hails
from Minneapolis,
crossed over into the
mainstream in the early
90s with its smash hit
Runaway Train. The
Puppets, which formed
under the mean sun in
Arizona in the early 80s,
was always a critical
darling but it got a boost
in pop cred when Kurt
Cobain covered the
bands Lake of Fire in
the early 90s. Tickets are
$20 and $30.
8.) The Florida State
Opera presents Rossinis
Cinderella starting Oct.
29 in Ruby Diamond
Concert Hall. Youre in
college now. Its time to
expand your musical
horizons. You already
know the story of Cinderella, now hear it
when its wrapped in
gorgeous Italian music
and arias. FSUs opera

budget. Tickets are only

$10 for FSU students and
$20 for the general public.
9.) The Growlers on
Nov. 1 at FSU Club Dowunder. The Growlers is
a band that plays something known as Beach
Goth music and lives
near the shore in South
Los Angeles. The groups
sound is a melange of
surf-music twangs, Ennio
Morricone overtones,
trippy waltzes, ghostly
vocals, reverb-heavy
ballads, rumbling rockabilly raves, country shuffles and swampy blues. If
there is a roller-skating
rink in hell, The Growlers will be playing there
every night during the
midnight couples skate.
Its free for FSU students
with valid ID and $20 for
the general public.
10.) Leftover Salmon
on Nov. 7 for Goodwood
Jams. Even if you are not

into jam bands named
after large fish, catching
a night-time concert on
the front lawn of the
antebellum Goodwood
Museum & Gardens is
worth the visit. The Spanish moss dangling from
the massive oak trees
make one heckuva stage
set when its glowing in
shades of orange, red and
blue. Tickets are $40 and
$100 for the VIP treatment.
11.) JJ Grey & Mofro
on Nov. 15 at Pebble Hill
Plantation. The North
Florida swamp blues are
invading South Georgia
as part of the annual
Plantation Wildlife Arts
Festival this year. The
setting at Pebble Hill, a
palatial spread just over
the Florida-Georgia state
line, may be genteel but
the music will be funky,
nasty and down-home.
Tickets are $35.

12) Slow Magic on
Nov. 15 at FSU Club
Downunder. The enigmatic DJ and drummer
known as Slow Magic
likes to hide behind a
brightly painted equine
mask on the stage. The
costume makes Slow
Magic look like a missing
cast member of The
Lion King on Broadway.
All you need to know is
this electronic mix-master produces some of the
most lush, lilting and
dreamy soundscapes you
will ever hear. Its a mystery worth unraveling.
Its free for FSU students
and $15 for the general
public.
13.) Velcro Pygmies on
Nov. 20 at the Block Party on Kleman Plaza.
Speaking of taking a
musical trip back to the
80s, the more theatricalminded Velcro boys like
to mine the gaudier and

more garish material
from Reagan and Bush I
eras. Were talking cover
songs from bands like
Poison, Van Halen and
Def Leppard; all done up
with big hair and stage
paint. The band ought to
shake up this season of
bro-country Block Party
shows, held every Friday
night before a home
game at Doak Campbell
Stadium. Its free.
14.) Bill Frisell Trio on
Nov. 24 in Opperman
Music Hall. That loud,
thunking sound you
heard in early August
was the noise made by
every jazz guitarist in the
city fainting when Opening Nights announced
that the legendary Frisell
was on his way. Frisell is
a guitarists guitarist who
dabbles, tinkers, deconstructs and owns nearly
every style of music,
whether its be-bop or the
Beach Boys. He also
rarely plays in Florida, so
this is definitely on the
must-see list. Tickets are

$55.
15.) Lucero on Dec. 2
at Fire Bettys Arcade
Bar. Lucero is a lot like
its hometown of Memphis, which is a melting
pot of diverse musical
styles thanks to its location on the Mississippi
River and its close proximity to North Mississippi. The band is just as
comfortable playing a
sad country-tinged ballad
that could have been
born next door in Arkansas as it is a horn-blasting R&B romp that could
have come from down
the street at the old Stax
studio. Throw in some
rowdy cow-punk raves
and a gravel-voiced rock
song or two and there
you have Lucero. No
wonder every Lucero
show attracts an audience that is such a hodgepodge of personalities.
All hail, Lucero. Tickets
are $23 advance and $25
day of the concert. Its an
all-ages show.

Forbidden Films cracks opens Hitlers film vault

Mark Hinson
There is a well-guarded Federal Archives

vault in Germany where
most of the 1,200 feature
films made in that country between 1933 and
1945 are stored away
from the public.
The feature-length,
theatrical films made
under Hitlers reign are
explosive stuff - figuratively and literally.
The nitrate chemicals
used to make the reels
are unstable and could go
boom any day, thus the
bunker-style storage
unit. The flammable
subject matter contained
within the films is also a
great potential danger.
In the big-budget,
dramatic movie Homecoming (1941), one of
Joseph Goebbels fave
flicks, the invasion of
Poland was justified by
painting an inaccurate
portrait that claimed
ethnic Germans were
being persecuted in Poland and needed rescue
by the Nazi Army. World
history is depicted in
total reverse, and in a
very convincing manner.
Thats just one of
many twisted examples
of the Nazi movie factory
at work in the documentary Forbidden Films:
The Hidden Legacy of
Nazi Film, which is
being shown this weekend by The Tallahassee
Film Society at All Saints
Cinema. Its a must-see
for film scholars as well
as World War II history
buffs.
Even though Forbidden Films bogs down, by
the end, into a philosophical debate over whether
the films should or
should not be fully accessible to the public, it is
genuinely fascinating
and terrifying to briefly
glimpse into the mind of
the movie-going public
ZEITGEIST FILMS
The Federal Archives vault in Germany is where the highly flammable and philosophically twisted feature-films made during Hitlers watch are stored away from
public view.
during the Hitler years.

The movie fans were
more willing than brainwashed.
In 1940, more than 20
million Germans bought
tickets and lined up to
see Jew Sss (1940), an
anti-Semitic conspiracy
theory disguised as a
splashy historical costume drama. Were not
talking about a cheaply
made exploitation flick,
either, Jew Sss was
the Titanic (1998) of its
time in Der Fatherland.
In fact, only 18 million
Germans went out to see
James Camerons epic
Titanic when it opened
in the late 90s. Let that
sink in for a moment.
Germanys answer to
Hollywood did not save
all its vitriol for the Jews.
The filmmakers also

bashed the French, English, Russians and leaders of the Weimar Republic with gusto. Many of
the messages were delivered in musicals and its
amazing how many
words rhyme with stuka.
How sweet it is
Australian actor-director Damon Gameau borrows a page from Morgan (Super Size Me)
Spurlocks documentarymaking playbook by
turning himself into a
human guinea pig in
That Sugar Film.
While the cameras
were rolling, averagesized Gameau decided to
abandon his healthy diet
for two months and con-
sume 40 teaspoons of
sugar on a daily basis. He
wasnt devouring the
obvious supects like ice
cream, candy bars, cake
and jelly beans, either.
Gameau consumed the
sweet stuff by downing
allegedly healthy food
items like smoothies,
low-fat yogurt, Jamba
Juice, breakfast cereals
and pasta sauces. They
were stealthy laden with
fructose.
The experiment,
which was overseen by a
team of medical professionals, played hell on
Gameaus liver, body
weight and mental state.
Sugar highs dont just
happen to children at
birthday parties.
Even though the fastmoving That Sugar
Film is a little too cutesy

for its own good
thanks to loads of computer animation, brightly
colored graphics and
Gameaus bubbly narration the core message
is not sugarcoated. It
should be required viewing for any parent with
young children or anyone
who is wondering why
those extra 10 pounds
around the belt are not
disappearing.

Patrick Stewart flexes his comedy muscle in Blunt Talk

Derrik J. Lang
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Patrick Stewart never really considered himself a

funny guy.
After commanding a
starship and a team of
mutants in sci-fi and
superhero franchises,
Stewarts newest mission
is starring in his first TV
comedy. With his role in
Starz Blunt Talk as
naughty newsman Walter Blunt, the classically
trained theater actor is
discovering at age 75
that he can make folks
laugh.
Its a fairly recent
development, Stewart
said earlier this summer
on the shows set during
a break from filming a
scene with guest star
Jason Schwartzman.
When I first worked for
the Royal Shakespeare
Company, I started in
whats called low comedy roles, like Touchstone, Grumio and Lancelot. Then, something
happened, and I was only
playing deeply disturbed
kings and neurotics. I
never really went back.
While hes best known
as Professor Charles
Xavier and Captain
Jean-Luc Picard from
the X-Men and Star
Trek series, Stewart has
spent more of his career
on stage than in the XMansion or on the USS
Enterprise. Besides
playing everyone from
Claudius to Macbeth,
hes performed a oneman rendition of A
Christmas Carol and a
West End and Broadway
run of Harold Pinters
No Mans Land and
Samuel Becketts Waiting for Godot with Ian
McKellen.
Its no different,
said Stewart. Its just a
lot more fun. I was talking about this with Ja-
AP
Patrick Stewart as Walter Blunt in a scene from Blunt Talk.
son. The fundamentals

dont change because
going for truth, realism
and spontaneity is all
still the objective, but
now its also about going
for humor. Ive found the
more serious you play
the words from the
script, the funnier they
can become, so to my
relief, it works.
In Blunt Talk, which
debuts Saturday, Stewart plays a cheeky Falklands War veteran and
host of a cable news
show. In the first episode, the booze-andcocaine-loving anchorman is caught in a car
with a prostitute and
attempts to rehabilitate
his image by interview-
ing himself.
Walter wants to
change the world, but his
private life is a complete
disaster, said Stewart.
Thats where a lot of the
humor comes from in
the show. How can he
possibly balance his
journalistic passions and
keep his life in somewhat reasonable order?
The series is executive produced by Seth
MacFarlane, who
worked with Stewart on
Family Guy and
American Dad, and
created by Jonathan
Ames, who created the
HBO comedy Bored to
Death. Ames fashioned
the role of Blunt with
Stewart.
I wrote this show for

Patrick Stewart and
created the character
for him. It was the actor
first, then the character.
It began with how he
looked. Patrick Stewart
has always played leaders and heroes. I wanted
to make Walter Bunt a
hero but a confused hero, a Don Quixote, he
said.
During a visit to the
shows newsroom set,
Stewart was giddy as he
observed Schwartzman
improvising at the end of
each take while they
were filming a scene
where Blunt meets
Schwartzmans ecoactivist character for the
first time.
Afterward, Stewart
noted such moments
reaffirmed his decision
to return to the grueling
pace of TV production.
He didnt think hed ever
be back as a regular on a
series after Star Trek:
The Next Generation
warped away over 20
years ago.
It feels so good and
so different, he said. I
truly felt when Next
Generation ended in 94,
I could not face that
pressure and those hours
anymore. The idea of a
half-hour comedy show
had never been part of
my game plan until Seth
called me, and here I am.
Theres no going back
now.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
We are mourning this weeks death of ballet dancer Yvonne Craig, best known to
most of the world as Batgirl on the classic TV show Batman in the late 60s (and on
reruns forever). Craig also acted in two movies with Elvis Presley. Can you pick which
two they were: It Happened At the Worlds Fair (1963), Kissin Cousins (1964),
Viva Las Vegas (1964), Elvis on Tour (1972) or Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)?
ANSWER OF THE WEEK

Last week, we were talking about Black Mass, a new film starring Johnny Depp as
an infamous gangster from South Boston who ran wild in the early 70s. The Black
Mass cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch, W. Earl Brown and Dakota Johnson. We
wanted you to name the real-life outlaw who inspired the Black Mass crime flick.
He is the infamous James Joseph Whitey Bulger.

A film reveals how Morton Downey Jr. pioneered loudmouth TV

Frazier Moore
Associated Press
NEW YORK A man

clears his throat and
rages at the world. He
claims to speak for everyday folks with conservative ideals and he savages anyone who challenges him. He is uncensored and
high-decibel, an avatar of
theatrics and must-see
TV. He changes the
terms of public discourse
forever.
A quarter-century
after dropping from
sight, Morton Downey Jr.
can be felt all too vividly
these days on talk TV
and radio, even reality
shows not to mention
the presidential campaign trail.
What a great time to
recall (or discover) this
earth-shaking talk-show
host. And what a fine
portrait of him is Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie, which
premiered Thursday
night on CNN.
He exploded on the
scene in 1987 with a syndicated talk show that
shattered the decorum of
Phil Donahues program
and the genteel give-andtake of Meet the Press.
Deploying a cavernous mouth stocked with a
huge set of pearlies that
inspired his programs
logo, Downey was raucous, raw, belligerent
and derisive. From his
studio in the workingclass locus of Secaucus,
New Jersey, he baited
and bad-mouthed one
segment of his audience
while, for his proto-dittoheads, he reigned as a
populist rock star who
claimed to identify with
their needs, with their
dreams, with their frustrations. But no matter
how they took him, no
one could turn away
from this architect of
what was promptly
dubbed Trash Talk.
AP
Morton Downeys show ended in 1989, but he can be felt all too vividly these days on talk TV and radio, even reality shows.
After just two seasons, Downey self-destructed and was off the
air. But just that swiftly
he had paved the way for
the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck
and, arguably, Donald
Trump.
Produced and directed
by Seth Kramer, Daniel
A. Miller and Jeremy
Newberger, Evocateur
traces this blink-of-aneye rise and fall with
sass yet remarkable
balance while drawing
on a wealth of archival
material.
The film features
vintage clips with guests
including then-Congressman Ron Paul (to whom
Downey bellows, If I
had a slime like you in
the White House, Id
puke on you!) as well as
attorney Alan Dershowitz, attorney-activist
Gloria Allred and the
Rev. Al Sharpton, who, a
party to an onstage
brawl, ends up on the
floor.
Current-day interviews include conservative advocate Pat Buchanan; veteran broadcaster Larry King; former talk show hosts
Richard Bey and Sally
Jessy Raphael; Kelli
Downey Cornwell, one of
Downeys four children
from his four marriages;
as well as members of
his production team.

These include Bob
Pittman, who, fresh from
creating MTV network,
was looking for a new
adventure and thought
hed found one in Downey, a struggling singerturned-talk-personality
on local radio and TV.
Until Mort came
along, I think most talkshow hosts were needlessly polite, to the point
of never getting the real
issues on the table, Pittman said recently in an
interview with The Associated Press.
Until then, Downey
had hardly set the world
on fire. He was the privileged son of pop star
Morton Downey, whose

lilting tenor won him
fame as The Irish
Nightingale. Junior
tried to make it similarly
as a pop singer, and the
documentary includes
footage of him on a 1950s
TV talent show competing for judges who include Dean Martin.
Even more surprising,
the Downey family was
close to the Kennedys
literally, as next-door
neighbors in Hyannis
Port, Massachusetts. As
a dapper young liberal,
Junior worked in Washington for Sen. Edward
Kennedy.
At the other end of
Downeys career, the
film tracks his rapid

descent as overnight
success fueled more and
more outrageous antics,
both on and off the show.
This peaked in April
1989 with an incident in a
San Francisco International Airport mens
room in which he
claimed to have been
ambushed by neo-Nazis
who painted a swastika
on his face and attempted to shave his head. The
incident turned out to be
a desperate ploy by Downey to restore public
favor, a hoax described
in the film by an associate who helped him
perpetrate it.
Within a few more
months, his show was
history. Repeated attempts at a comeback
failed. Then in 2001, the
man who once had boasted of smoking four packs
of cigarettes a day died
of lung cancer after
spending his last years
as an anti-smoking advocate.
He was a very, very
complex fellow extraordinarily talented,
extraordinarily
tortured, says Pittman.
We gave Mort a big
platform, and on that
platform he lost his way.
Then it became one of
the few shows in TV
history where the producers canceled their
own show.
Evocateur closes
with a final-credits spoof
of the red-lipped title
sequence from The
Rocky Horror Picture
Show.
But moments before
that, Downey is seen
being interviewed by
Today host Bryant
Gumbel, who asks him,
Is this a passing fancy,
or is this a front of the
wave?
Before Downey can
say, the film cuts to
black. But every viewer
of Evocateur already
knows the answer.

Meal and webcam form unlikely recipe for South Korean fame
Youkyoung Lee
Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea
Every evening, 14-yearold Kim Sung-jin orders

fried chicken, delivery
pizza or Chinese food to
eat in a small room in his
familys home south of
Seoul. He gorges on food
as he chats before a live
camera with hundreds,
sometimes thousands, of
teenagers watching.
Thats the show, and it
makes Kim money: 2
million won ($1,700) in
his most successful episode.
Better known to his
viewers by the nickname
Patoo, he is one of the
youngest broadcasters
on Afreeca TV, an app
for live-broadcasting
video online launched in
2006.
Kim, who has a del-

himself eating almost

every evening since he
was 11. Sometimes he
invites friends to eat
with him. To add fun, he
once wore a blond wig
and dressed as a woman.
While the Internet has
been making stars for
years from bloggers
to gamers who play for
millions of YouTube
viewers outsiders
may find it puzzling, if
not outright bizarre, for
young people to spend
hours watching someone
eating. But in South Korea, Afreeca TV has
become a big player in
the Internet subculture
and a crucial part of
social life for teens.
Shows like Kims are
known as Meok Bang,
a mash-up Korean word
of broadcast and eating.
They are the most popular and often most profitable among some 5,000
live shows that are aired
live at any given moment on Afreeca TV.
Kim started the show
essentially to find someone to eat with. His parents worked in another
city so he was living with
his grandparents, and
they ate dinner so early
he got hungry at night.

Many connect the
popularity of Meok Bang
to the increasing number
of South Koreans who
live alone, and to the
strong social aspects of
food in this society.
Even if it is online,
when someone talks
while eating, the same
words feel much more
intimate, said Ahn Joonsoo, an executive at
Afreeca TV. He noted
South Koreans common
habit of bidding farewell
to friends by saying,
Lets eat together next
time, even when they
dont literally mean it.
There are plenty of
other quirky offerings
on Afreeca TV. Late at
night there is Sool
Bang broadcast
drinking in which
melancholic South Koreans drink liquor alone
discussing their tough
lives. Then there is
Study Bang, or broadcast studying: A screen
shows the hand of an
unidentified person writing notes on a thick book
under the light of a desk
lamp.
About 60 percent of
the 8 million unique
monthly visitors to
Afreeca TV are teens or
in their 20s. That means
nearly 40 percent of the
12.5 million South Koreans ages 10 to 30 watch a
show on Afreeca TV at
least once a month.
Young generations
believe that TV is naturally something like
Afreeca TV where they
can interact with broadcasters, said Ahn, the
company executive. He
believes TV in the long
run will be completely
replaced by such apps.
Cho Young-min, a
12-year-old who has
watched an online game
show on Afreeca TV
since he was a thirdgrader, aspires to have
his own show on Afreeca
TV, not on the TV in the
living room.
Ahn Won-jun, a 17year-old high school
student, said he prefers
to eat dinner in his room
to watch Kims Meok
Bang, rather than dining
with his parents.
Hardcore Afreeca TV
viewers are drawn to
hosts like Kim because
they can interact with
them, unlike more distant TV stars. Fans say
they feel their blood
rush and heart flutter
when a host reacts to
their comments, singling
them out in the stream
of hundreds of live chat
messages.
I was so moved,
said Lee Yeon-joo, a
15-year-old recalling the
moment when a 26-yearold man read her message in the middle of his
live show. You cannot
really approach celebrities.
Afreeca TV users can
get broadcasters attention by giving them star
balloons, which cost
them about 10 cents
apiece. The show hosts
keep most of that money,
though Afreeca TV takes
a cut of up to 40 percent.
Most broadcasters,
including Kim, are reluctant to reveal how much

money they make.
Afreeca TV said out of
some 300,000 broadcasters who air their show at
least once a month, the
top 500 make more than
what one would normally
make by working full
time, but the company
declined to be more specific. In 2013, a South
Korea television network
TV Chosun cited a lawmakers office that the
top Afreeca TV host
earned 298 million won
($250,000) a year.
Live-streaming videos
are going mainstream,
both in South Korea and
overseas.
In Asia, services such
as YYTV in China have
been in use by tens of
millions of users for
years, and also have
developed ways to let
broadcasters generate
income.
Meerkat and Periscope from Twitter, two
live-streaming apps in
the U.S., were launched
in March. Facebook is
launching its own livestreaming service called
Live, although it will be
only available for famous people.
South Korean search
giant Naver rushed to
launch a real-time video
service where K-pop
stars can live-stream
their behind-the-scenes
lives. One of the most
talked-about TV shows
on a South Korean TV
network this year was
My Little Television,
which adopted similar
features to Afreeca TV,
such as the format of
one person broadcasting
a show live while responding to comments from
viewers.
Afreeca TVs model
may not translate across
borders, however. The
companys efforts to
make inroads in Japan,
Taiwan and the U.S. have
met with little response.

Horoscopes
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Beyond good and evil, there
is love. The decisions made
from love can seem complicated not as cut and
dried as the moral code
written in books. The heart
deciphers its own moral
code.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
You will follow your intellect to whatever conclusion it leads you instead of
accepting the answer you
are being fed by another.
This is the way of great
thinkers and truth seekers.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Youre working from the
gut today and will get more
information in the blink of
an eye than you would in a
lengthy dissertation.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
No relationship is entirely
wine and roses, but youll
experience more than your
fair share of movie-worthy
moments in the coming
weeks so many that you
may even dare to plan some
work and/or travel with a
loved one now.
NON SEQUITUR by Wiley
HAGAR by Chris Browne

younger than you are.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
There have been times
when its been difficult to
meld the new with the
known people in your life,
but right now new friends
will fit nicely into the puzzle
of your personal life and
will connect you to exciting
options for love and work.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
gatekeepers are just doing
their job. If they could let
everyone in, what would be
the point of having a gate?
Anyway, youre in the perfect place and will get inside
at the ideal time when you
are completely ready.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Keep going on your project,
even if you can only spend
10 minutes on it here and
there. Ten minutes here and

Kanye West had effect on music, pop culture

Kanye West: God &

Monster (The
Overlook Press), by
Mark Beaumont
Anyone whos glanced
at a tabloid recently
knows Kanye West as a
flashy rapper who is
married to reality TV
star Kim Kardashian.
But Kanye West: God &
Monster by Mark Beaumont argues Wests talent and influence stretch
well past the gossip
headlines.
Beaumont did his
homework there are
eight pages of sources
cited in the index
piecing together Wests
story, using media interviews spanning more
than a decade. But the
only quotes allegedly
said by West and those in
his circle are taken from
outside reporting, not

there are no revelations,

and few new personal
details.
The book follows
Wests life from his
childhood in Chicago to
his first shot in the music
business through to the
present. The bulk of the
content focuses on his
creative process writing
and producing, so it
reads more like a music
anthology than a biography.
The chapters are long
and dense, each focusing
on a particular album,
explaining the origin and
meaning of scores of
song lyrics and musical
hooks, and myriad collaborators. West has
joined forces with dozens of rap and hip-hop
stars and the author
names them all, making
it a challenge to keep up.
While Beaumont is deft
at analyzing Wests lyrics
and relating them to the
rappers life experiences, including so many
examples becomes repetitive and tedious and
breaks the narratives
flow.
A consistent theme in
the book is Wests perseverance and his refusal
to accept rejection because his artistic convictions and belief in himself are so strong. Beaumont suggests that while
West is now a god in
music, he had a tough
time breaking in.
The author builds a
convincing case that
West is a creative music
genius, with an eye for
fashion, video directing
and design. Hes also
known among his peers
as one of the hardest
working performers in
show business, producing on a platinum record
when he was just 19.
The book examines
his process never

writing down lyrics,
constantly listening to
music from all genres to
find hooks and putting
them together with signature beats. West often
burrows in hotels and
makeshift studios for
months with little sleep,
barely stopping to eat, as
he constantly rearranges
songs up until a record
release.
But with success
came hubris and a lack
of self-control. West
began to draw negative
attention by comparing
himself to great musicians and cultural
icons, and he became
famous for his public
meltdowns.
Fans looking for scoop
on Wests personal life
will be disappointed.
Many life events
messy breakups, his
mothers tragic death
following plastic surgery, feuds with other
musicians, his marriage
to Kardashian and becoming a father are
glossed over.
The book spotlights
the music and Wests
ambition and artistic
influence. He has his
own record label, produces and styles music
videos, created a Nike
sneaker and has fashion
lines in the works. His
tour with Jay Z broke
records and marked
transcendence into the
mainstream.
Beaumonts writing
style is bland, unlike his
dynamic subject. Wests
personal story, his fearlessness and tireless
work ethic, and his talent
and creativity will likely
inspire readers. Beaumont hails West as innovative and riveting.
Unfortunately, his book
is not.
