With their special legislative session set to endat noon today, House and Senate leaders were instark disagreement over congressional redis-tricting Thursday night.

One thing that appears certain, though, is thatTallahassee will be split between a newly config-ured District 5, a minority-access district run-ning from downtown Jacksonville to GadsdenCounty, and a redrawn District 2 that extendsfrom the Panama City area to near Ocala.

State Rep. Alan Williams, D-Tallahassee, madeone last try at keeping all of Tallahassee in onedistrict Thursday but his amendment died in avoice vote. Williams pleadedwith his colleagues to supporthis amendment, which wouldhave kept the city and most ofthe county in the 5th District.

“For me, when we think aboutthe impact and the influence ofthe seat of state government be-ing split in two, I don’t think anyof us want to do that, especiallywhen we look at our congressional delegations,”Williams said.

Rep. Jose Oliva, R-Hialeah and chairman ofthe House redistricting committee, said hecouldn’t support Williams’ proposal because it re-duced minority voters in the proposed 5th Dis-trict and split Baker and Volusia counties.

The House then debated a few other “nip andtuck” changes to the plan passed by the Senate onWednesday, and passed its version in a 60-38 vote.That sends the measure (HB 1B) back to the Sen-ate for action today.

“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 ofN.W.A. and cements the legacy of the late Eric “Ea-zy-E” Wright, the leader; Andre “Dr. Dre” Young, thebeat maker; and O’Shea “Ice Cube” Jackson; the streetpoet, and other members as gangster rap pioneers.

From 1986 to 1991, coupled with a partial reunionfrom 1998 to 2002, the group produced songs unlikeanything on the radio. That makes the biopic a historylesson.

Will Packer talksabout his role in‘Straight OuttaCompton’

Will Packer was a student at FloridaA&M University when the group N.W.A.polarized the nation with gritty street sto-ries and in-your-face lyrics.

From the East Coast to the West Coast,fans loved them. Packer did, too, poppingcassette tapes and bobbing his head tosongs like “Straight Outta Compton,” “Ex-press Yourself” and “(Bleep) the Police.”

Dubbed as the world’s Most DangerousGroup, N.W.A. was feared by mainstreamAmerica. The media, FBI and local law en-forcement viewed the group with suspi-cion. As N.W.A’s popularity grew, so didcalls to censor lyrics laced with gang vio-lence and misogyny.

Two decades and over a dozen films lat-er, Packer is part of the story.

During a press conference Thurs-day, the Tallahassee Police Departmentreleased a composite sketch of a sus-pect in an alleged abduction attempt.

Around midnight Wednesday, thevictim was on the bike trail in the 500block of Chapel Drive. According to thepolice department, she was grabbedfrom behind. She yelled and was able toget away. The suspect ran away.

Based on the sketch, the alleged sus-pect is in his mid-20s, bald, with a darkcomplexion. He is about 5 feet 9 inchesand has a medium build. Description ofthe suspect came from a victim in a pri-or case.

This is the sixth abduction attemptreported to TPD since February. Thereis another attempt that is being handledby the Leon County Sheriff’s Depart-ment.

“As of now we have no evidence tolink these cases together,” Police ChiefMichael DeLeo said. “We have differ-ent vehicle descriptions; one was awhite sedan and the other was a pickuptruck. They were different times ofday, and spread out over six months.”

DeLeo asked for the community tocall 891-4200 with any information onthe crimes and gave a safety reminder

to citizens. “Always travel in groups and stay in

well-lit areas,” DeLeo said. “Keep yourcellphone in an easily accessible posi-tion. Don’t wear headphones that willkeep you from hearing someone ap-proaching you from behind.”

Hurricane Danny formed Thurs-day, becoming the first hurricane thisyear in the Atlantic Ocean, the Nation-al Hurricane Center said.

As of 11 a.m. ET, Danny had maxi-mum sustained winds of 75 mph, mak-ing it a Category 1 hurricane. It hadbeen a tropical storm since Tuesday.

The hurricane was moving to thewest-northwest at 12 mph and was1,090 miles east of the Caribbean’sWindward Islands. It should hit the is-lands early Monday and potentiallystrike Puerto Rico by Tuesday.

The storm is quite small, with hur-ricane-force winds extending only 10miles, the hurricane center said. It’s sosmall that “you could fit 321 Dannys

into Hurricane Sandy,” Weather Chan-nel meteorologist Nick Wiltgen tweet-ed.

Drought is plaguing many of theCaribbean islands, so rainfall from atropical system would be welcome inmany places, AccuWeather meteorol-ogist Alex Sosnowski said.

More than 63 percent of Puerto Ri-co is now in a drought, prompting theU.S. territory this month to enact se-vere water-rationing measures.

July was the fourth-driest month onrecord in the capital of San Juan since1898, with only 1.6 inches of rain, ac-cording to the National Weather Ser-vice.

Tropical storms Ana, Bill and Clau-dette formed earlier in the year butnever reached hurricane strength.

“The Senate is not prepared to backaway from these changes,” Galvanosaid of alterations made by his chamberon Wednesday.

“We are both in a very difficult posi-tion,” Oliva said.

House Democrats continued to criti-cize the latest plan from the lower cham-ber, partly on the grounds that it doesnot take into consideration populationgains in Florida over the past few years.

“This map will have problems and isnot constitutional,” said Rep. Mark Paf-ford of West Palm Beach, Democraticleader in the House.

Reshaping districts in the Hillsbor-ough, Manatee and Sarasota Countyarea was at the core of the House-Senatedispute. The leaders argued over howbest to split as few cities as possible andmaintain compact districts.

The big issue for North Florida —mandated by the Supreme Court in itsJuly 9 order — involved how to realignthe district of Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Jacksonville, one of three black mem-bers Florida sent to Congress in 1992.

Her district, the 5th, now runs fromJacksonville to Orlando, embracingpockets of black precincts along theway, but the court determined that wasdone to pack as many black Democratsas possible into her district — leavingsurrounding districts heavily white andRepublican.

The justices ordered the Legislatureto run the district east and west, just be-low the Georgia border. A “base map”recommended by legislative staff aidesand attorneys would split Leon and Jef-ferson Counties in order to reach the de-sired black voting age population — afar more important criterion than com-pactness or division of cities and coun-ties, under the federal Voting RightsAct.

Brown has gone to court in an effortto prevent her north-south district frombeing altered.

The new configuration could result inRep. Gwen Graham, D-Tallahassee, hav-ing to run in a vastly different District 2.She could also run statewide for the U.S.Senate, as Republican Rep. David Jollyis already doing, since his Pinellas Coun-ty district is likely to become heavilyDemocrat.

Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Orlando,would also have a hard time staying inCongress, as about 66,000 Democratsnow in Brown’s north-south districtwould be added to his currently GOP-friendly district.

The Donald has overtaken Jeb andMarco in Florida.

But a new Quinnipiac University pollmight show more-daunting trends foranother candidate on a first-name basiswith voters — Hillary.

The poll, released Thursday, indi-cates that New York developer and tele-vision personality Donald Trump hastaken a slight lead over former Gov. JebBush and a larger lead over U.S. Sen.Marco Rubio in the Republican presi-dential primary in Florida.

The poll also shows that Democraticfront-runner Hillary Clinton trails bydouble digits in general-election match-ups with Bush and Rubio in Florida, apivotal state in the 2016 presidentialrace. Quinnipiac also conducted polls inOhio and Pennsylvania, with voters in allthree battleground states giving Clintonbad marks on issues such as honesty andtemperament, said Peter Brown, assis-tant director of the poll.

“Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers arelike a leaky faucet: drip, drip, drip,”Brown said in comments released withthe poll results. “She is now getting lessthan half the vote in all three states’Democratic primaries.”

The poll, conducted from Aug. 7 toTuesday, showed Trump with supportfrom 21 percent of registered FloridaRepublicans, while Bush was at 17 per-cent and Rubio and physician Ben Car-son were at 11 percent. The differencebetween Trump and Bush was within a4.5 percentage-point margin of error forthe Republican portion of the poll.

But the results are substantially dif-ferent from a June poll that showedBush, who was twice elected Floridagovernor, with the support of 20 percentof the state’s GOP voters and Rubio at 18percent. Trump received only 3 percentin the June poll.

Gun rights advocates on Thursday called on a 2ndCircuit judge to fine Tallahassee city officials for theirfailure to repeal local firearms laws that contradict astate statute.

The lawsuit, filed by the Washington-state basedSecond Amendment Foundation and Florida Carry,names then Mayor John Marks and three city commis-sioners and stems from a February City Commissionmeeting when a vote was tabled on whether to repeallocal gun laws barring the discharge of firearms in pub-

lic parks and urban spaces.The two separate city ordi-

nances were passed in 1988 and1957 respectively and have beencontinually printed in municipalcodes since then despite not be-ing actively enforced by law en-forcement for a number ofyears.

At the same commissionmeeting, Tallahassee PoliceChief Michael DeLeo recom-mended the repeal of the ordi-nances since they were unen-forceable, according to courtrecords.

They violate state law in put-ting restraints on where fire-arms are allowed, Florida Carryattorneys Lesley McKinney andEric Friday argued on Thursday.

But by not voting on the issue, commissioners put asidetheir duty to remove a law that could result in arrestspreempted by state statutes.

“The citizens of Tallahassee have the right to knowthat this law will not be enforced,” Friday said in court.

Continuing to publish them in the public recordposes problems if someone is stopped by a police offi-cer, he continued.

“It does lead citizens to think it’s an enforceablelaw,” he said.

They are looking to levy individual fines of $5,000against Marks and city commissioners Gil Ziffer, Nan-

What’s the difference between taxi drivers andFlorida lawyers?

No, this is not a question that ends with apunch line.

The answer is: When it comes to stifling competi-tion, nothing.

A recent story in the Democrat about interstatereciprocity for lawyers reminds us very much of theongoing national debate of Uber vs. cab drivers.

In this case, the cab drivers are Florida lawyerswho want to use reciprocity rules as a way to stiflecompetition.

The issue came before the Florida Bar Board ofGovernors last month and statewide town hall meet-ings have been scheduled to foster further discus-sion.

Florida is one of only 11 states that do not have anykind of reciprocity with other state bars.

Attorneys who oppose reciprocity make no bonesabout their reason: stifling competition. “There’s noquestion there’s some self-protection about this,”Palm Beach attorney Lloyd Schwed, who is leadingthe charge against the proposal, told the News Ser-vice of Florida. “But the simplest way I can put it is,why would you want to license a bunch of out-of-statelawyers who want to practice law here who are toolazy to study for two months and take a test andprove their competency? It’s not good for the Floridacitizens. It’s not good for the Florida lawyers. It’sonly good for the out-of-state lawyers.”

Schwed’s “two month” timeline is disingenuous atbest.

Even if new lawyers successfully study for andpass the bar exam — a process that almost alwaystakes longer than two months — another tactic usedby the Florida Bar is forcing applicants to go through

a lengthy, onerous, invasive licensure process, oftenlasting many additional months after passage of thebar exam.

Out-of-state lawyers routinely find that the entireprocess lasts more than a year as bar investigatorspry 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 toskyrocket.

But consumers are getting more savvy. In an in-creasingly mobile society, jurisdictional lines don’tmean what they used to.

Further, it’s not like the proposal being floated bythe Bar just lets in anybody with a law degree.

According to the NSF, the following requirementswould be in effect:

» Out-of-state lawyers who have been practicingfor at least five of the past seven years before theyapply would be eligible.

» “Admission by motion” would only be availableto lawyers who are from states that allow Florida Barmembers to practice without a written or oral exam.

» Admission by motion would only be available tolawyers who haven’t failed the Florida Bar examwithin five years of applying.

» Applicants would also have to have a law degreefrom law schools approved by the American BarAssociation at the time they graduated.

If there is no market for more out-of-state law-yers, they will come down to Florida and fail. If thereis, then the Florida Bar should embrace the limitedcompetition.

But using onerous licensure restrictions to stiflecompetition is not a good answer. As the taxi cab lob-by is learning, in the end, consumers will find a wayto use the services that suit them best.

EDITORIALBOARD

Here are some online reader reactions to our editorialcalling for FAMU to fix its problems, whatever ittakes:

Scott Richardson: You want to fix FAMU, then startwith the board.

Deborah Lloyd: Is the foundation being laid for thetoppling of FAMU? I don’t know or care who is atfault; I care that this great institution continues tostand and flourish.

Kofi Lomotey: This is, I believe, an excellent, clear, tothe point and highly relevant opinion. Perhaps moreimportantly (and maybe sadly), it could have beenwritten about almost any of our HBCUs. Unfortunate-ly, in too many instances in our schools, the actorsbehave in a way painfully similar to the scenario de-scribed by this author. Wake up!

Christopher Carter: I understand that the school wasimplemented to address historical injustices. Howev-er, how can those be remedied by attending a scholas-tic institution seemingly plagued by dysfunction fromthe top down? Isn’t that actually committing a dis-service to the students? College is difficult as it isalready.

Rick Kinsey: Finally. Alumni, we must stand strongand allow the president to do her job. In the best in-terest of this university, Rufus should step down soFAMU can move forward. Rattlers, remember weselected this president to lead us, not the BOT. BOTwhat have you done lately for this great institution?Show us your success record and what corporate dol-lars you have brought to the university. Lastly, whymust this fight play out publicly? From a life memberand a legacy of family members, I am a proud Rattler.

Clinton Byrd: The Governor and the Board of Gover-nors need to stop appointing individuals to our boardfor political reasons. This is detrimental to the longterm viability of FAMU. Whatever the Governor’slitmus test is, it is not working. FAMU will have sever-al vacancies to fill on its Board of Trustees as of Janu-ary 2016. The Board of Trustees and the President ofFAMU should seek out individuals who love our in-stitution and have the credentials to be of valuableservice, ask them to apply and then nominate them forconsideration. We should also begin to demand that

trustees who have served us well be reappointed. Thecurrent chairman of the FAMU Board of Trusteesdoes not have the support of the alumni and its con-stituents and seems intent on having his way. Howev-er well-intentioned his actions might be, they are defi-nitely not in the best interest of FAMU.

William Wood: The BOT has the interests of FAMU inits sights — 90 percent are alumni. Please tell mewhat Mangum has done to contribute to FAMU’s suc-cess.

Jerry Alan Kimbro: I think a solution would be tomerge FSU and FAMU. It’s happening geographicallyanyway. It could become FSAMU. The days of havinga separate state college for African Americans is longlong past. And it’s appallingly racist. Further, does itmake sense to have two universities with the sameacademic programs in the same town competing forstate dollars, when one university could combinethese professors and their knowledge and create abetter university as whole — for students and alumni?

Mikal Jelani Caldwell: Yeah, FAMU is “historically”black, not exclusively black. Anyone can apply, but ifyoung white kids don’t want to consider an HBCU,that’s not racism on the university’s side. And merg-ing isn’t the answer either because they each offerleading programs and educational distinctions thatwould be lost in a merge. If the state gave anywherenear the resources and attention to FAMU that they doto FSU, these problems could have been addressedeffectively years ago. Unfortunately, we don’t have asmany alumni as legislators, or a lobbyist as a presi-dent.

Mike Deming: I’ve worked with boards and served onboards. It is like a cancer when you have such a boardmember. It takes away from the board’s mission, vi-sion and sours the entire board. There are some poli-tics involved in this that make it worse. The wholepush, as I see it, is to make the FAMU president chaseall these rabbits so that she cannot do her job.

Dan Nolan: Seriously, has the board ever been behindher? Did they set expectations during the interviewprocess? So her worst attribute is she isn’t a alumni?

Scott Sheplak: Need to hit a “redo” button in my opi-nion.

Every era has its own shape and itsown momentum, but fundamentaltruths about great leadership

qualities do not change with the times.The current situation at Florida A&M

University reminds me of my first ex-perience with crisis management dur-ing my first year at FAMU in 1966.

The leap from stu-dent to director ofsports informationimmediately followinggraduation — andworking with giantslike President B. L.Perry, Jr., Coach JakeGaither and director ofbands William P. Foster— created its own formof shock and awe.

All three were com-manding leaders —authoritative, brilliant

and forceful with powerful egos tomatch their considerable accomplish-ments. Sometimes their egos clashed,and many times I was a witness to thestorm when their professional aimscrossed boundaries and invaded theothers’ space.

But they never forgot that FAMUcame first. Their anger never rose tothe level of acrimony. And it was neverwitnessed by the public or even aroundFAMU employees unfamiliar with thefull context in which they sometimesexpressed dissatisfaction about any-thing.

I was in President Perry’s office lateone evening, helping him get ready foran Orange Blossom Classic meeting thenext morning. The Orange BlossomClassic was a FAMU creation that roseto become the nation’s most prominentpostseason black college championshipgame. We were just about to leave whenCoach Gaither called. I sat frozen withanxiety as clearly the exchange hadbecome heated and was getting hotter

with each passing minute. The issueseemed to be about the band and thelength of its halftime performance.

When the call ended, Perry said, “Icut it short because it was clear that wewere not making progress.” I must havelooked worried because he said, “Eddie,my good man, it is going to work itselfout.”

The next morning the atmosphere inthe room was uneasy, as all the commit-tee members seemed to be aware that acontentious issue was on the table.President Perry came through the doortrailed by smoke from a burning cigarhe held between his fingers.

As soon as Perry entered, Gaitherstood up with that famous smile, shookPerry’s hand and said, “Mr. President, Iwas just telling Dr. Foster about thewonderful work his band is doing andhow much the Marching 100 means tothe success of the Orange BlossomClassic.”

To my astonishment, Foster thenjoined the men and said, “Mr. President,I informed Gaither that the band issimply trying to spread excellence sowe can be as good as his football team.”

Perry then pulled Gaither and Fosterover to the corner of the room and whis-pered something; all three broke out inriotous laughter. It was as if someonehad opened a window and the tensionbegan to evaporate with the rising out-door sun.

They were great leaders who neverforgot that FAMU’s enemy was not inthe room — it was out there somewhere,plotting its latest chicanery on one ofFlorida’s greatest treasures.

FAMU’s Board of Trustees and itsadministration should follow their leadand always remember: When darkclouds gather on the horizon, FAMUcomes first.

All sides need to rememberthat FAMU comes first

EddieJacksonMy View

It’s been said raising kids is thehardest job in the world. As a par-ent and grandparent, I and every

parent I know will readily attest tothat.

Parents can work their butts offraising children, get help from family,friends, church and school, but then all

a child needs is affir-mation of their way-ward beliefs fromanother source to startthe discussion: “ButMom/Dad, (fill in theblank) says its OK to(fill in the blank).”

That’s why it’s dis-appointing to see theDemocrat’s recent,one-sided news arti-cles ridiculing parentswho object to profan-

ity in a supposedly well-known book.Most objectionable was providingsuch a book as required reading forimpressionable freshmen and sopho-mores when there are so many otherbook options.

The Democrat’s opinion’s piececoncludes, “…if you get a few friendsto join you in applying a little pres-sure, your school will sell out academ-ic freedom just to keep the peace.”May I remind the editors, it was nottoo long ago that a “few friends” gottogether objecting to the way theirchildren were being taught, having alack of equal resources and equaltreatment. So began the civil rightsmovement in the 1950s, a time duringwhich I was raised and a movementwhich I supported.

I raised my children in the ’80s andnow actively watch my grandchildrengrowing. My generation, disappoint-ingly so, provided the stage forGeorge Carlin to break profanity bar-riers. Are we better for it? Is the in-troduction of profanity-laced books to

malleable teenagers something tobe proud of as a society?

This is not a 1st Amendmentissue. This is about what kind ofbehavior and values we want ourfuture leaders to have. Unfortu-nately, children see profanity on theInternet, between their ownfriends, video games and moviesalready. Does that give license toour schools to go along with suchinappropriate thinking? Is it rightto condone the reading of age-inap-propriate books simply becausethere are those speaking throughthis forum who believe early high-school-aged children have alreadyheard it all?

This is the whole concept of in-doctrination through presentingthings we previously knew werewrong and bombarding us withthem until society finally accepts itas normal.

Secondly, does this better ordegrade us as a community and anation? We have had some begin-ning discussions on serious con-cerns of violence, the breakdown offamilies and how it affects childrenand our society. We have a long wayto go, but at least the discussion hasstarted.

My view is that allowing suchliterature to freshmen and sopho-mores who are still developing theirpersonal values is yet another nega-tive influence and added impedi-ment to families wishing to raisetheir children in a wholesome envi-ronment.

We all share the overall goal ofwanting our children become firm-ly-grounded, happy, productivemembers of society. Shouldn’t wegive them a fighting chance?

A rags-to-rap riches story

The 1996 FAMU graduate, entrepre-neur and filmmaker is one of the exec-utive producers for “Straight OuttaCompton” — a critical and commercialhit that raked in $60.2 million in its open-ing weekend, earning more than twicewhat it cost to produce on the way to be-coming the fifth-highest August openerin history.

“This movie is so different than anyother movie I’ve ever been involved inand not just on genre and the fact that it’sa biopic,” Packer told the TallahasseeDemocrat. “It has a depth to it ... about areal slice of life and a real period of timethat I remember.”

He remembers the thick gold ropechains.

He remembers the black and whiteRaiders caps and bomber jackets.

He remembers fresh white Adidassneakers and black straight leg jeans.

He remembers the unapologetic atti-tude.

N.W.A. pulled no punches. Fanscouldn’t get enough. Songs, largely pro-duced from 1986 to 1991, weaved a story-line long ignored by outsiders. “StraightOutta Compton” captures a rags-to-rapriches story and the group’s legacy aspioneers of gangster rap.

The movie also portrays themes ofpoverty, race and overzealous police of-ficers.

One scene from the movie showsmembers, including O’Shea Jackson,aka Ice Cube, and Andre Young, aka Dr.Dre, filing onto a Compton street corner.They were taking a break from record-ing when they were approached by bel-ligerent L.A. police officers.

Close-ups show raw cheeks slammedagainst concrete and bound hands. Offi-cers hurled insults like footballs. Thescene, Packer said, resonates today withfrustrated minorities and others whofeel officers have unjustly killed or in-

jured blacks in high-profile cases. Pack-er talked about the black men who havedied at the hands of policemen: MichaelBrown in Ferguson, Missouri, Eric Gar-ner in New York and Freddie Gray inBaltimore.

“It’s almost prophetic in a way be-cause the film is now speaking to issuesthat people want to talk about in currentsociety,” he explained during a 20-min-ute telephone interview.

“That’s incredible because this filmobviously took place in the early ‘90s, yetespecially when you talk about oppres-sion, police brutality and the disenfran-chisement of black youth, these themesstill resonate heavily today.”

For this reason, the biopic has a deep-er meaning for Packer compared to hisother work, which include seven No. 1films: “No Good Deed” (2014), “ThinkLike A Man Too” (2014), “Ride Along”(2014), “Think Like A Man” (2012), “Tak-ers” (2010), “Obsessed” (2008) and“Stomp the Yard” (2007).

He used a football analogy to de-scribe his role as executive producer in

“Straight Outta Compton.” The directoris the quarterback. The producer is thehead coach. The executive producer islike the front office and general man-ager, who works closely with the ownersof the team.

Movie director F. Gary Gray and IceCube — one of the movie’s producerswho is played by his son, O’Shea JacksonJr. — shopped N.W.A.’s story aroundHollywood for seven years, Packer said.He got involved around three years agodue to his relationship with UniversalPictures, which fast-tracked the project.

The $800 million man

Packer, 41, believed in the movie butseeing its success only affirms what healready knew — this story needed to betold.

“To have a ‘90s biopic about rappers,”Packer said, with a chuckle, “be No. 1 atthe box office with $60-plus million, star-ring basically five unknown kids, thatmakes Hollywood pay attention. And, Iassure 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 alwayswanted to be an entrepreneur. He linkedup with fellow student and businesspartner Rob Hardy and the two created“Rainforest Films” in 1994.

Their first movie was “ChocolateCity,” which was shot at FAMU and partsof Tallahassee. He’s been lauded as anoutstanding alumni, featured as a com-mencement speaker and given the Meri-torious Achievement Award, FAMU’shighest honor.

Packer’s films have grossed morethan $800 million. As an entrepreneur,his first million was sweet motivation.

“When you do, that’s huge becauseyou have that feeling of accomplish-ment,” he said. “But also I rememberthinking ‘If I can make a million, I canmake 10. If I can make 10, I can make20’,” Packer said.

“I remember that it became some-thing that pushed me and I wanted to gofurther.”

The father of four, who is also en-gaged, said being an entrepreneur is thehardest job he has ever had. But he hasnever been happier. Being his own bossjust feels too good.

“But if you believe in yourself sostrongly, so fiercely and so passionately,it won’t matter,” Packer said. “Ultimate-ly, others will see that, and others willbelieve in you as well.”

Packer

FREDERICK M. BROWN/GETTY IMAGESWill Packer, a 1996 FAMU graduate, entrepreneur and filmmaker, is one of the executiveproducers for “Straight Outta Compton.”

DID YOU KNOW WILL PACKER WAS ...» Executive producer on Truth Be Toldstarring Mark-Paul Gosselaar (who playedZach Morris from Saved By the Bell) on NBC,debuting Oct. 16. » Executive producer on Uncle Buck starringMike Epps and Nia Long on ABC in the Fall of2015.» Producer on Ride Along 2 (Universal),starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. It debuts intheaters nationwide on January 15, 2016.» Executive producer on the televisionmini-series ROOTS. It debuts on The HistoryChannel, A&E and Lifetime in 2016 .

“Hip-hop is cultural enough in that ithas a history that matters. It’s a greatthing that the people who believe are notjust the African American community,”said Barry Faulk, an associate professorwho has taught pop culture at FloridaState University.

He said the group is a fixture in popculture. N.W.A.’s music carried a mes-sage, whether liked or loathed, thatmuch of today’s commercialized rapsongs lack.

“They were the first ones to put thatkind of energy out there,” said Akil Du-Pont, a Tallahassee native who earned abachelor’s degree in economics at Flori-da A&M and a master’s degree in filmproduction at Florida State.

DuPont, who teaches film productionat Clinton State University in Atlanta,applauded movie producers for releas-ing the film on Aug. 14, when other moviedebuts weren’t an issue.

The social media campaign was alsostellar, DuPont said. All over Facebookand Instagram, people layered avatarswith “Straight Outta ...” memes.

“It was a genius campaign,” he said.While the movie has been praised by

critics nationwide, it’s also attractedcontroversy due to lawsuits involvingsome former N.W.A. members.

The biopic also depicts important con-temporary parallels. The group de-scribed harassment by police officers.Twenty years later, run-ins captured oncellphone videos showing the shootingor mistreatment of minorities at thehands of officers have sparked outrageand the “Black Lives Matter” movement.

“The movie couldn’t be more timely.If for no other reason it highlights thepersistence of policing in America and inthe African-American community spe-cifically,” Faulk said.

Chris Faupel, president and creativedirector of the Tallahassee Film Festival,agreed.

“Even though it’s telling the story ofsomething that happened 20 years ago,it’s still very relevant today,” he said. “Ithink that’s what’s helping the film a lot.”

CrossFit Tallahassee has moved itsJustified location from Northwest Pas-sage. The gym, one of three owned byGreg Keeter, is now in The Junction, 2131Jackson Bluff Road.

Monday was the first day for the newbox. It has a different vibe from CrossFitKillearn off Kerry Forest Parkway andthe original CrossFit Tallahassee on Cap-ital Circle SE. The new spot is in partmeant to appeal to college students in thearea.

“The new location is more convenientto our clientele and is a better facility ingeneral,” Keeter said.

Justified is the first business to openin the still-developing 30,000-square-foot property. Keeter’s gym will take up8,500 and bolsters The Junction as it con-tinues to seek new businesses.

“Their culture of promoting function-al fitness fits what we’re trying to pro-mote,” Parker Little, property managerfor the Junction. “Greg’s business modelis about building community and pro-moting health. It’s a very interestingbusiness model.”

Community building has proven suc-cessful for Keeter.

“Our community is driven by thecommon workout that we all do,” Keetersaid “the workout of the day (WOD). TheWOD is the backbone of our communitybecause it is what unites us all. It is acommon experience that gives us some-thing to talk about.”

He doesn’t subscribe to the normalgym model that counts on the majority ofclients not coming. Instead he sets pro-gramming that encourages members togrow. The metrics are evidence-basedaspects and there is focus on sustainableand continuous improvement.

“We educate our members about thepossibilities of their physical develop-ment and coach them so they can safelyachieve their goals,” Keeter said. “Weopen them up to their true capabilitiesand this enriches their conception ofwhat they can do.”

Gov. Rick Scott, reigniting a budgetfight with the Republican-controlledFlorida Legislature, says the state isnearly out of money to lure companiesto Florida.

Scott delivered that stinging mes-sage Thursday during a meeting of theboard of directors of Enterprise FloridaInc., the state’s economic developmentagency that met in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Scott and Enterprise Florida offi-cials say the state has only about $9 mil-lion left in the main account it uses to of-fer incentives for companies. Bill John-son, the president and CEO of Enter-prise Florida, said that money will likelybe gone in weeks.

“We will not able to get deals done go-ing forward,” Scott said.

Scott asked the Florida Legislaturefor $85 million this year to use for busi-ness incentives, but legislators set asideabout half that amount during a conten-tious special session where legislatorswere divided over health care and thestate budget.

Republican legislators contend En-terprise Florida did not need as muchmoney as Scott wants because it has notbeen spending all the money it’s gottenin recent years. A recent budget docu-ment prepared by the Legislature statesthat since 2009, more than $37 millionhas been returned to the state because itwasn’t spent by Enterprise Florida.That has prompted legislators to ratch-et down how much they have appropri-ated. This year there was $43 millionprovided — a decrease from more than$66 million in 2014.

“I understand the desire for unfet-tered funds for Enterprise Florida,”said Rep. Clay Ingram, a Pensacola Re-publican and chairman of the Housebudget committee that oversees Enter-prise Florida. “The challenge is that weare dealing with taxpayer funds, not pri-vate funds. I am certainly open to anyways we can improve the process whichmust strike a balance between flexibil-ity and accountability.”

But Johnson, who said much of themoney is already in escrow for previous

deals or is connected to pending deals,said the organization is already warninglocal economic development agenciesthe state may not be able to help them.Many times the state matches local in-centives offered by cities and countiesas part of a deal to convince a companyto relocate or expand in Florida.

“We’re definitely going to run out ofthe money,” Johnson said. “This is whatI call a reality check.”

Johnson had warned legislators ear-lier this year that they were not provid-ing enough money for the organizationbut some of his comments drew the ireof Republican legislators in charge of

his budget. He told Enterprise Floridaboard members that his organizationwould be $45 million short if it closes onall the pending deals now in the pipeline.He said those projects would create8,000 additional jobs.

Scott asked Enterprise Florida boardmembers — who include other electedofficials as well as top business execu-tives around the state — to reach out tolegislators to ask for more money tohelp the organization. Scott warnedFlorida will not be able to match the jobcreation numbers of states such as Tex-as if it does not have more money for in-centives.

Scott: State running out ofmoney for attracting jobsGary FineoutAssociated Press

JAMES BORCHUCK,THE TAMPA BAY TIMES/APFlorida Gov. Rick Scott visited Florida Tank/ Florida Structural Steel near Gibsonton onTuesday to praise new jobs the company added in recent months. Scott says the state isnearly out of money intended to attract jobs.

A recent budget document prepared by theLegislature states that since 2009, more than$37 million has been returned to the statebecause it wasn’t spent by Enterprise Florida.

cy Miller and former commissioner An-drew Gillum, who succeeded Marks asmayor.

The suit also claims that Marks andGillum engaged in civil disobedience to-ward state law by refusing to vote on theordinances. Commissioner Scott Mad-dox, who was the only vote against ta-bling the item, said he could not supporta violation of state law.

Assistant City Attorney Louis Nor-vell said there is no reasonable cause toseek fines against the individual com-missioners because they were not in-volved in enacting the ordinances,which would violate the state law.

“We don’t think it is lawful for theLegislature to try to fine elected offi-cials because of their status as localelected officials,” Norvell said.

The city’s co-counsel Marc Fagel saidfining the city officials opens the door topenalizing local officials across thestate. Forcing them into a vote is alsotroubling, he said.

“This is an individual penalty on com-missioners based on the way they vote,”Fagel said. “Without removing thatthere is a cloud over elected officials.”

Circuit Judge George Reynolds in-structed the two sides to file proposalsfor final judgments by Aug. 28.

“We’ve kind of taken a step back nowbased on this input and we’re trying tolook at what other park systems do, whatother cities do and try to figure out,” Ed-wards said. “We want to be able co-existbecause it’s a cool thing that a lot of peo-ple want to do. So we’re trying to findthat balance.”

Capital City Pedicabs owner RonGoldstein wants the language taken outso he can operate like any bicycle would.

The current proposal “would elimi-nate us from adding to the ambiance and

experience of those visiting the parks,”he said.

Tim Nettles, owner of Segway Toursof Tallahassee, would lead his toursthrough some of the city’s most popularand iconic attractions like CascadesPark and Klemen Plaza.

A Segway’s top speed is 12.5 miles perhour and can stop quicker than a bicyclecan, Nettles argued. His tours numberup to six people riding in a single file line.

“Segways have proven to be safe,” hesaid. “I would like to have access to theparks quite honestly.”

City Commissioner Scott Maddox haswelcomed the companies. He’s seenpedicabs and Segways operate safelyaround pedestrians all over the world.

“I don’t know why in the world we’rebanning them from our parks,” he added“We ought to want them in our parks.”

July was the hottest recordedmonth worldwide — and it comesat a time when worries over man-made global warming are reach-ing a boiling point.

The National Oceanic and At-mospheric Administration (NOAA)announced Thursday that the tem-perature in July, when averaged forall locations around the planet, was61.86 degrees. That’s the hottest

since records began in 1880.July is typically the hottest

month of the year. The previoushottest months were in July 1998and July 2010.

Bandar Mahshahr, Iran, set oneof the world’s most extreme heatrecords on July 31. The air tem-perature of 115, combined with adew point of 90 degrees, created aheat index of 165, NOAA said.

The NOAA announcementcomes on the same day that theAmerican Geophysical Union(AGU) released a study sayingthat man-made global warminghas made California’s historicdrought 15 to 20% worse than itwould have been otherwise.

The warming effect will alsolikely make future droughts evenworse, and California could facenearly permanent drought condi-tions by the second half of thiscentury, the study said.

The warming temperatures aremaking the drought worse be-cause the extra heat draws mois-

ture out of plants and soil,exacerbating the dryness.

“A lot of people think that theamount of rain that falls out of thesky is the only thing that matters”in a drought, said lead author A.Park Williams, a bioclimatologist atColumbia University. “But (global)warming changes the baselineamount of water that’s available tous, because it sends water back intothe sky” through evaporation.

The United States was one ofthe few spots that didn’t see theextreme heat in July, along withportions of western Asia. The USAdid have a slightly warmer-than-average July, but no states set arecord high, according to NOAA.

About one in three jobs are va-cant at nine of the nation’s re-gional Veterans Affairs healthcare systems, leaving veteranswaiting weeks to get care.

Nationally, one in six positions— nearly 41,000 — for critical in-take workers, doctors, nurses andassistants were unfilled as of mid-July, in part because of complexhiring procedures and poorrecruitment, according to criticsof the nation’s network of 139hospitals and clinics that treatveterans.

The vacancy data obtained by

USA TODAY through the Free-dom of Information Act offer thefirst look at how serious staffingissues are at some VA hospitalsand clinics.

At many locations, unfilled jobsdrive up appointment wait times.USA TODAY’s analysis found thateven a 1% increase in job vacan-cies contributes to more appoint-ments being pushed past amonth-long wait.

Some of the highest vacancyrates are for psychologists. In 13regional health care systems, 40%

to 64% of psychologist positionsare vacant. Nationally, about 21%of such positions are vacant.

“It is unacceptable,” said Sen.Jon Tester, D-Mont., a memberof the Senate Veterans Affairscommittee. “This is a problemunder bright sunlight now, and itneeds to be fixed.”

Tester said he was particularlyconcerned about mental healthneeds. Data from the VeteransHealth Administration show thatthe health care system in FortHarrison, Mont., which Testerrepresents, has a vacancy rate of44% for psychologists.

More than 5,100 additional

physicians are needed across theVA system. Tester proposed a billthat would increase the numberof medical residencies by 1,500, inthe hopes those doctors stay on.

On the House side, Rep. DanBenishek, R-Mich., a surgeonwho worked part-time as a con-tractor at a VA facility for 20years, has proposed legislationthat would streamline hiring andimprove accountability.

“Frankly, it’s a managementproblem,” Benishek said in July.“When you have to recruit 41,000people — there has to be a coordi-nated plan. And when you askthem, there’s nobody in charge.”

According to the VA, hiring inthe past year matched the 9% at-trition rate, and the departmentactually added employees.

The agency hired an additional1,000 physicians and 2,700nurses in a 13-month period end-ing May 1.

forearm, where he cradles theball on each carry.

“It doesn’t mean racism tome,” Spencer tells USA TODAYSports. “I just look at it as a flag.It’s our mascot. It just means ourschool.”

That’s the party line in Hurley,a tiny coal-mining communitytucked into the southwest cornerof Virginia, south of Kentuckyand west of West Virginia, wherelongtime citizens say they justwant to be left alone to rallyaround a symbol that’s been withthem for as long as they canremember.

“It means heritage, not hate,”Hurley High principal Pam Test-er says. “You won’t find a singleperson in Hurley who thinksdifferent.”

And that includes Spencer,who wears his heart on his sleeveand his tattoo under it. In a com-munity that’s overwhelminglywhite, the artwork on his arm isoften offered as Exhibit A for thedefense.

“We got one black kid, and lookat his arm,” says Steve Blanken-ship, whose grandson plays forthe Rebels.

Much of the rest of the nationsees the battle flag as an unfurledsymbol of slavery and segrega-tion. “That’s not what it meanshere,” Tester says. “Never. Vir-ginia is for lovers.”

Renewed scrutiny of the rebelflag in public spaces emerged thissummer after the massacre ofnine churchgoers in South Caro-lina. The alleged white suprema-cist gunman posed with aConfederate battle flag in a phototaken before the shooting. Since,South Carolina removed the flagfrom its statehouse grounds andAlabama did the same. Mississip-pi retains the battle flag that’s in-corporated in its state flag,though football coaches at OleMiss and Mississippi State areamong those who say it should go.

Rebels is the nickname atroughly 200 high schools acrossthe USA, and these days severalare reviewing the name and at-tendant imagery. Southside Highin Fort Smith, Ark., is phasing outits Rebels name and ending Dixieas its fight song. Vestavia HillsHigh in Alabama is rebranding itsRebels, keeping the name buteliminating some of the symbols.

No such introspection is ap-parent in Hurley, an unincorpo-rated community in BuchananCounty, one of Virginia’s poorest.The county was founded in 1858,just before the Civil War, and ac-cording to the 2010 census had apopulation of a little more than24,000, roughly 97% white.

Hurley’s population is estimat-ed a bit above 3,000. On gamenights, it can feel as if all of themare at The Cliff, a one-of-a-kindstadium where Smiley RatliffField is blasted out of rock. Be-hind one end zone, and behindmost of one sideline, is sheerstone.

Tester says dynamite clearedthe way for this field of dreams inthe early 1980s. “We’re minershere,” she says. “We know how todo that.”

It’s the sort of can-do spiritthat animates mountain pridehereabouts: When you can’t find100 yards of flat earth, you makeit. But coal is disappearing as away of life, and that means less

work in Hurley. Darwin Bailey isout of work just now. His friend,Roger Hurley, finds commonground between unemploymentand anti-flag deployment.

“The liberals and the tree hug-gers want to shut down themines,” he says. “And next thingthey’ll want to shut down ourflag, too.”

SMILEY RATLIFF’S LEGACYSmiley Ratliff Field is named forthe founding father of HurleyHigh football — and of theschool’s rebellious nickname.

His name was Arthur M. RatliffJr., though everyone called himSmiley. He coached the first Re-bels squad in 1951 that played justfour games with borrowed equip-ment, according to Sam Varney,80, who played on the originalteams. The school’s first full sea-son in 1952 brought its firstchampionship.

“We went from nothing tochampions,” Varney says. “Smileyoften said his assistant coacheswere Genghis Khan, Napoleonand Robert E. Lee.”

Ratliff had more winning sea-sons in 1953 and 1954 and thenleft coaching to make his fortunein coal before branching intobanking and real estate holdings.The Washington Post ran a profileof him in 1982 that said he par-layed a $1,500 bank loan into anestimated $100 million empire bymining coal with the same hell-fire abandon he’d used to outflankopposing football teams.

The story describes a man whohated Franklin Roosevelt foreroding initiative, Earl Warrenfor destroying justice, Elvis forruining music — and governmentfor overregulation. “I’m a generalon the battlefield of life,” Ratlifftold the Post. “Why, hell, God cre-ated me to win.”

Ratliff’s ancestors fought forthe 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 WorldWar II and Korea, earning an ar-ray of medals for his service.

Ratliff died at 83 in 2007. Hislegacy is The Ratcliffe Founda-tion, harkening to an earlierspelling of the family name. Thefoundation has net assets of morethan $24 million, according to itsmost recently available IRS 990form. Varney is one of its officers.Among its beneficiaries someyears is Hurley High, where afield house named for Ratliff isfilled with the latest weightliftingequipment — and more than adozen images of the rebel flag.

Ratliff thought that flag “de-noted courage, valor and states’rights,” Varney says. “It was notadopted really for anything con-nected with slavery or hatred oranything that those who are be-ing vocal about it say.”

What would Smiley think

about statehouses and highschools retiring the battle flag?“You can’t print that,” says Var-ney, who’s pleased local senti-ment is to keep it flying high inHurley. “To change it becausesomeone else doesn’t like it,” hesays, “goes against the grain ofmountain independence.”

PAINTED INTO THE CLIFFGreg Tester, the principal’s neph-ew, is Hurley High’s footballcoach. He wants outsiders toknow what a good place Hurley is,how everyone knows everyone

else and takes care of one another— and how the battle flag is partof all of that as a symbol of spirit,tradition and pride.

“We don’t mean any disrespectat all,” he says.

Tester’s assistant coaches arenot Napoleon, Kahn and Lee butBrandon Davis, Dustin Waynickand Travis Quinley.

“I’m 33 years old, and the(front) doors have always had theflag,” Davis says. “Once, when wegot new (doors), people startedcalling to see how soon the flagwould be painted back.”

Hurley has an enrollment of180 boys and girls in grades 9-12.That makes the Class A schoolone of the state’s smallest to fielda football team. Tester says he hasa roster of 40 this season, includ-ing ninth-graders, and that everyteam the Rebels play is bigger —notably Class AA Grundy, bitterrival down the road.

Grundy players stomped andspit on a rebel flag when they wona tight game in 2013, tight end-

linebacker Josh Mullins says,turning the tone of this mountainfeud into something even fiercer.The Rebels took revenge in 2014with a 66-8 stomping, Hurley’sfirst win in the series since 1991.

“We’re like a small-town Texasteam you read about,” Quinleysays. “We’re just tucked away inthe Appalachian Mountains.”

Blankenship, watching a crisppractice on a steamy afternoon,explains how much the Rebels,and the rebel flag, mean to thistightknit town. He points to aspot near the precipice behind

the end zone, where the battleflag was long ago painted intorock, the faded remains still visi-ble if you know where to look,leaving stunned viewers to pon-der how on earth the painter gotup there.

“Got to be 150 feet, easy,” Blan-kenship says. “That’s what’s calledloving your flag.”

Those who oppose it say therebel flag stands for the fight forslavery in the Civil War — and thefight against civil rights a centurylater. Blankenship brands that aspolitical correctness and agreeswith Donald Trump, who said in adifferent context in this month’sRepublican debate that politicalcorrectness is a big problem inthe country.

“Everything he says, I like,”Blankenship says. “It’s like he’sreading my mind.”

CHOOSE THE MEANINGIt is Friday night in mid-August,“Meet the Rebels” night at TheCliff. Hundreds pay $3 to be therefor an evening of bows andsmiles, sort of like a football gameif it ended after the introductions.Fans munch on chili dogs andpopcorn. Parents and grandpar-ents watch the festivities underrebel flags flapping in the breezeatop the bleachers.

The players gather in the lock-er room before introductions,and Pastor Eugene Whited ofBlackey Baptist Church offers asermon near the mount. He tellsthe team football is like the gameof life and they should rememberPhilippians 4:13, how they can doall things through Christ, whostrengthens them.

Minutes later the pastor offersa prayer over the stadium soundsystem. Then, showtime: The Re-bels charge onto the field, Mullinscarrying the battle flag as if intobattle, and the crowd roars.

The vibe is small-town sweet-ness, but as the night winds downRebels fans Darwin Bailey andRoger Hurley introduce them-selves to a reporter to ask somepointed questions. They wonderwhy USA TODAY Sports is here.They worry that any publicity willbe negative publicity, becauseoutsiders can’t truly understandtheir love of town, team and flag.

“It has nothing to do with ha-tred or anything else they want tosay,” Bailey says. “We’re one bigfamily here. You can see thattonight.”

Roger Hurley says a nationalstory can only lead to no good.“When this hits USA TODAY,we’re ruined,” he says, predictingprotesters from elsewhere will ar-rive before this season is out.“Why punish the kids?”

Buchanan County’s motto is“Nature’s Wonderland.” Hurleyoffers echoes of Alice’s.

Humpty Dumpty tells Alice inThrough the Looking-Glass, andWhat Alice Found There: “When Iuse a word, it means just what Ichoose it to mean — neither morenor less.”

Substitute symbol for word,and you have Hurley and its rebelflag. Here, residents believe thatflag means what they choose it tomean. They don’t much carewhatever it might mean to a wid-er world they’d rather not hearfrom. They just want to watchtheir Rebels score touchdowns atThe Cliff, where that flag paintedhigh on rock face fades ever soslowly into history.

JIMMY CARTER SAYSCANCER HAS SPREADTO PARTS OF BRAIN

ERIK S. LESSER, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Jimmy Carter said he will have to cut back on his workwith the Carter Center but will continue to raise money for

the public policy center and oversee some activities.

Former president Jimmy Car-ter said Thursday he will fight thecancer that has spread to parts ofhis brain and planned to get hisfirst radiation treatment that day.

Examinations that began withthe discovery of cancer during liv-er surgery have revealed “fourspots of melanoma on my brain,”Carter told a news conference athis presidential center in Atlanta.

“It’s in the hands God, whom Iworship, and I’ll be prepared foranything that comes,” Carter said.“I’m ready for anything and look-ing forward to a new adventure.”

The nation’s 39th presidenttold reporters he had hoped thecancer would be confined to hisliver, and at one point believed hehad only “a few weeks left.” Car-ter repeatedly said he is now “atease” with the diagnosis, and issustained by his family and reli-gious faith.

“I’ve had a wonder-ful life,” Carter said.“I’ve had thou-sands offriends.”

The 90-year-old for-mer president,whose volun-teer activitieshave includedbuilding houses,monitoring elec-tions, and helpingto develop impover-ished nations, said theillness will force him to cutback “fairly dramatically” on hiswork with the Carter Center,though he will continue to raisemoney for the center and overseesome of its activities.

Since announcing last weekthat he had cancer, Carter said hehas spoken with presidential col-leagues Barack Obama, GeorgeW. Bush, Bill Clinton and GeorgeH.W. Bush, as well as Vice Presi-dent Biden and 2016 Democraticpresidential candidate HillaryClinton. After the news confer-ence, Obama tweeted that Carter“is as good a man as they come.Michelle and I are praying forhim and Rosalynn. We’re all pull-ing for you, Jimmy.”

Facing the ordeal with cheerand good humor, Carter said hehas had only slight pain, and “Ihaven’t felt any weakness ordebility.”

After Thursday’s radiation,Carter said he will have four moretreatments to be scheduled atthree-week intervals.

A decade ago, patients with thetype of cancer afflicting Carterfaced a very bleak diagnosis. Butimmune-boosting drugs ap-proved in recent years offer muchmore hope to patients with mela-

noma that has spread to otherparts of the body.

“The advances in the last fiveyears have been astounding,” saidAnna Pavlick, professor and co-director of the melanoma pro-gram at New York University’sPerlmutter Cancer Center, who isnot treating Carter but is aware ofwhat treatments he's getting. “Pa-tients may go on and have a com-plete response” to treatment.

A former peanut farmer whobecame governor of Georgia, Car-ter won the presidency in 1976 af-ter one of the most surprisinglong-shot campaigns in politicalhistory.

After one term beset by eco-nomic problems, poor relationswith Congress, and a hostage cri-sis in Iran, Carter lost the 1980presidential election to Republi-can Ronald Reagan.

A botched rescue mission toIran marred Carter’s final year inoffice. During his news confer-ence, Carter said that “I wish Ihad sent one more helicopter to

get the hostages out,” and that asuccessful rescue would have re-elected him.

Carter’s presidency is remem-bered for a peace treaty betweenIsrael and Egypt, and his empha-sis on human rights in foreignpolicy. He is credited with restor-ing integrity to the presidency af-ter the traumas of Vietnam andWatergate.

Asked about the Middle Easttoday, Carter said he still hopes tosee peace between Israel and herneighbors, though the prospectsat present seem dismal. “Thewhole process is practically dor-mant,” he said.

Since leaving the White House,Carter’s volunteer work acrossthe world has redefined the roleof former presidents. He said can-cer was discovered during an ex-am that followed a cold hecontracted while monitoringelections in Guyana.

Carter announced last weekthat “recent liver surgery re-vealed that I have cancer thatnow is in other parts of my body.”In a written statement, the for-mer president said, “I will be re-arranging my schedule asnecessary so I can undergo treat-ment by physicians at EmoryHealthcare.”

WASHINGTON Pentagon teamsare examining sites in the UnitedStates to move terror detaineescurrently held at the naval base atGuantanamo Bay, Cuba, DefenseSecretary Ash Carter saidThursday.

The first two sites are the mili-tary prison at Fort Leavenworth,Kan., and the naval brig atCharleston, S.C., Carter said.

“That does not mean thosesites will be chosen,” he said.

The teams will look elsewherefor potential sites in the UnitedStates, Carter said, but he did notidentify them.

There is nothing so far on al-ternatives to Leavenworth or

Charleston, said a senior defenseofficial speaking on condition ofanonymity because they were notauthorized to speak publicly. ThePentagon is waiting on a reportfrom the federal Bureau of Pris-ons on alternatives, the officialsaid.

Carter said there are two typesof Guantanamo detainees: Thosewho are eligible to be transferredto other nations, and those whomust continue to be held.

As long as detainees are held atGuantanamo Bay, Carter said,they remain a focal point for jiha-di propaganda and agitation.

There has been no pressurefrom the White House to transferdetainees at a faster rate, he said.“I see it exactly as the presidentdoes,” he said.

Carter’s comments drew criti-cism quickly from Gov. Nikki Ha-ley, R-S.C., who said she wouldfight any attempts to move de-tainees to her state.

“It is extremely concerningthat we are now getting word that

they are looking at us and oneother state to move terroristsfrom Guantanamo Bay,” Haleysaid in a statement. “Let’s be very,very clear, this is a violation offederal law. Even though thepresident signed this on his first

day in office, Congress has nevergiven him the support to movethese terrorists into any of ourstates. We are absolutely drawinga line that we are not going to al-low any terrorists to come intoSouth Carolina.”

Haley appeared to refer to theNational Defense AuthorizationAct of 2014. It prohibits the use offunds to transfer Guantanamodetainees to the United States.

NATION/WORLD

A new study releasedThursday sparked a debateon the importance of treat-ment options for women di-agnosed with the earlieststage of breast cancer.

The study found thattreatment such as radiologyfor women diagnosed withwith DCIS — ductal carcino-ma in situ — or stage 0breast cancer does not elimi-nate the threat of breastcancer at 10 years. However,researchers studied 100,000women diagnosed withDCIS for 20 years, andfound 97% of them did notdie from breast cancer afterundergoing treatment.

About 60,000 women arediagnosed with DCIS eachyear, according to the Amer-ican Cancer Society. Stage 0breast cancer is non-inva-sive and is located only inthe milk ducts of the breast,says breastcancer.org.

The study, published in

the JAMA Oncology journal,reignited a debate as towhether or not DCIS quali-fies as cancer, and encour-aged doctors to research therisks of DCIS more to deter-mine the best treatment op-tions for patients.

Authors of the study ar-gue DCIS should be consid-ered cancer and should betreated as such, while otherssay aggressive treatmentmay not be necessary.

Steven Narod, the lead au-thor of the study and a re-searcher at the Women’sCollege Research Institutein Toronto, said the 3% ofwomen who died over the20 years passed away afterthe DCIS spread throughouttheir bodies before the lumpin their breasts wasremoved.

“If this can spread prior tothe removal and kill you,that’s cancer,” Narod said. “Ifthat’s not cancer, I don’tknow what is.”

However, for others, thefindings from the study sug-gested aggressive treatment,such as lumpectomies, lum-pectomies with radiologyand mastectomies, is oftennot necessary.

The study also foundDCIS-related death rateswere twice as high for Afri-can-American women andwomen younger than 35when diagnosed.

In Fayetteville, N.C., a quarterof all pending appointments atthe veterans hospital are sched-uled at least a month past whenpatients ask to be seen — waittimes that are among the longestof any VA facility in the USA.

Data show staffing may bepartly to blame. Overall, a third ofmedical jobs at the hospital andits outpatient clinics were vacantas of July 15. That includes 59physician positions and 31psychologists.

“This is something we’ve beendealing with for more than ayear,” said Fayetteville spokes-man Jeffrey Melvin of the longwait times. “A lot of that stemsfrom ... lack of providers.”

Among the 139 VA systems,

Fayetteville is one of nine facili-ties that have medical employeevacancy rates over 30%. Nearly30 more have vacancy rates of20% to 30%.

The data, obtained through aFreedom of Information Act re-quest, show some professions aredrastically short-staffed. Psycholo-gists, scheduling assistants andphysician assistants all have va-cancy rates above 20% nationwide.

Critics say the agency’s hiringpractices have mired regional fa-cilities in red tape.

“The whole hiring process is ri-diculous,” said Laurie Butler, whowas acting chief of Human Re-sources at the Phoenix VA beforeretiring last year. There, a quarterof all clinical jobs are vacant.

Phoenix VA spokeswomanJean Schaefer said hiring oneperson can involve up to 18 stepsand take four to eight months. Bythat time, candidates have oftenaccepted a job elsewhere, otherssaid.

“It’s a bureaucratic nightmare,”Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said.“We do not have to re-create thewheel every time we hire a damnnurse or psychologist or a medi-cal director.”

SAN FRANCISCO Oh, to be em-ployed in the technology sector.Your skills are highly sought after,the entry-level pay skirts six fig-ures and your job often involvescreating the future.

What’s not to like? A lot, ac-cording to a survey undertakenby app maker TINYpulse.

The Seattle start-up, which hasraised $3.5 million in funding,helps companies such as Airbnband Brooks shoes monitor em-ployee attitudes through briefweekly surveys. The issue of tech

workplace dissatisfaction wasbrought into stark relief recentlywith The New York Times article

on Amazon’s aggressive work-place environment, based on in-terviews with former employees.

According to TINYpulse’s pollof 5,000 engineers, developersand other IT specialists workingat 500 TINYpulse tech and non-tech company clients, tech work-ers are less happy than workers inother sectors in every key catego-ry. For example, only 36% of techworkers say they see opportunityfor professional growth, com-pared to 50% of other workers,who include plumbers, architectsand public school teachers.

The dour response was similarfor other questions, including,“Has a supervisor recognizedyour work recently?” (69% fortech, vs. 75% for non-tech work-ers); “Can you recite your compa-ny’s mission and values?” (28%

vs. 43%); “Do you have a high-quality relationship with your co-workers?” (47% vs. 56%); and“Are you very happy at work?”(19% vs. 22%).

In answering the questionabout professional development,respondents’ displeasure was ex-plained by these reasons, in de-scending order: opportunities forgrowth aren’t clear; there aren’topportunities for growth; and theopportunities or their require-ments are inconsistent.

“There’s widespread workplacedissatisfaction in the tech space,and it’s undermining the happi-ness and engagement of theseemployees,” the survey con-cludes.

Wall Street logged a thirdstraight day of losses Thursday —the Dow tanking 358 points, itsbiggest point plunge since Nov. 9,2011 — as investors grappled withfresh questions about the timingof the Federal Reserve’s first in-terest rate hike, slowing globalgrowth and oil in danger of fallingbelow the key $40-a-barrel mark.

The Dow Jones industrialsended down 2.1% to 16,990.82 —its first close below 17,000 sinceOct. 29 — following a 163-pointdrop Wednesday. The Standard &Poor’s 500 index fell 2.1% andturned negative for the year. TheNasdaq composite tumbled 2.8%.

Fear is starting to rise in themarket. A closely watched WallStreet “fear gauge,” dubbed theVIX, rose 26% Thursday, its high-est level since July 9, but still wellbelow its 52-week peak.

The concerns dragging downsentiment were many of the sameworries that have been troublinginvestors since last week:

uInterest rate uncertainty inthe U.S. That was not resolvedWednesday by the release of theminutes of the Fed’s July meet-ing. The nation’s central banksaid conditions for a rate hikehave yet to be achieved, raisingfresh questions as to whether theFed would hike rates for the firsttime in nearly a decade at its Sep-tember meeting. The Fed alsoraised concerns about the falloutfrom China’s lagging economyand persistent low inflation.

uRout in oil market. A barrelof U.S.-based crude is flirting withfalling below $40 a barrel for thefirst time since early 2009. InThursday trading, West Texas In-termediate crude fell within 21cents of $40 per barrel, but re-bounded in later trading and wasup 15 cents to $40.95. Crude isbeing pressured by data showinga bigger weekly inventory buildin the U.S., continued oversupplyand concerns about slowinggrowth in China.

“The trend (for oil) remainsbearish,” Sam Stovall, U.S. equitystrategist at S&P Capital IQ,warned in a research report.

uChina angst. The main riskfacing markets continues to beChina and signs that its economy— the world’s second biggest — isslowing faster than previouslythought. Markets also are stillgrappling with the fallout of Bei-jing’s surprise decision last weekto devalue its currency, a movethat has created turmoil in mar-kets, especially emerging marketsthat do a lot of business with Chi-na. “China is causing someangst,” says Michael Farr, presi-dent of money-management firmFarr, Miller & Washington. “Peo-ple may (also) be worried aboutthe continued bludgeoning of theenergy complex.”

“Investors are increasinglyconcerned about global growthbeing undermined by China’s de-celerating economy,” says MarkLuschini, chief investment strate-gist at Janney Montgomery Scott.

It’s easy to ignore the mar-ket’s troubles — as long as yourhot stocks aren’t affected. But asurprising number of formersuperstar stocks aren’t just get-ting sucked into the market’sdeclines but leading the dive.

The count of former marketdarlings that are now sufferingbig-time as the market strugglesis big: 102 stocks in the Stan-dard & Poor’s 500, includingApple, Urban Outfitters andSkyworks Solutions, are down10% or more from record highsset this year, a USA TODAYanalysis of data from S&P Capi-tal IQ found. A 10% drop is con-sidered a correction.

The pain gets even deeper.There are 18 stocks in the S&P500 that set record highs thisyear that are now down 20% ormore from those all-time highs.Talk about a fast and painful re-versal: going from being a lead-ing stock to one that’s down20% or more — the unofficialdefinition of a bear market.

Rapid deterioration in stocksthat were leaders is a big warn-ing sign. “There’s still denial go-ing on, but this is what happensin late stages” of bull markets,says Ken Winans of Winans In-ternational. “The darling stocksstart to get hammered.”

The biggest and most dra-matic example is gadget makerApple.

Rising fears of a slowdown inChina coupled with the fact

more U.S. carriersare doing away withsmartphone subsi-dies is turning themarket’s biggestwinner into one ofits biggest losers.

The fear is thatconsumers may de-cide to keep theirsmartphones longerwhen they realizehow much they’reactually paying forthem. Shares of Ap-ple are down 16%from their all-timehigh price of $134.50notched in April.

It’s a dramatic reversal inmomentum. Shares of Appleskyrocketed nearly 60% in theone year prior to hitting a high.Now, the stock is barely up onthe year — up 1.8%.

Another high-profit fallenleader is Disney. Shares of theentertainment giant soared43% in the year leading into thestock setting an all-time high of

$122.10 on Aug. 3.But now this formerleader is down 18%just weeks followingthe high. The stock isstill up 6% this year.

Apple and Disneyhave company. Hugewinners such asvideo-streamer Net-flix and Amazon,which both put uphuge gains leading upto new highs, aredown 13% and 11%,respectively fromthose highs. Andthese aren’t even the

most severe examples. Shares oftrendy apparel retailer UrbanOutfitters are down 36% fromtheir all-time high March 20.

It’s possible that some ofthese leaders will regain theirwinning ways. But seeing lead-ers falling apart is a warningsign.

“When this market does blowup, it will be a textbook top,”Winans says.

A: The markets don’t look great. TheDow Jones industrial average Thursdaysank 358 points — the biggest one-daypoint drop since Nov. 9, 2011. The Stan-dard & Poor’s 500 is down 4.6% from itsall-time high.

The pain goes beyond numbers.Household-name stocks that are themarket to many beginning investors, likeApple and Disney, are struggling recent-ly. Even some new and promising techstocks, like Twitter, are suffering. Twittershares dropped below the price at whichthe stock was sold to the public. Inves-tors fret the Federal Reserve may pushup short-term interest rates, whichcould cool the economy. China’s eco-nomic gusto is fading.

It looks bad — but doesn’t mean youshould sell. The fact that you’re worriedindicates it is overdue to examine yourportfolio. If you’ve let a single hot stockoverrun your portfolio, it’s a good time toput it back in the proper proportion ofyour holdings.

Make sure you have an adequaterainy-day fund that will cover at leastthree to six months of expenses. Makesure you’re 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. It’s justthat during bull markets, investors oftentrade speculation for prudence.

Online ads offering advancepayment on future pension in-come may have seemed like a fi-nancial lifeline for some seniorretirees and military veterans.

But a lawsuit filed Thursday byfederal and state regulatorscharged that the offers by Califor-nia-based Pension Funding LLCand Pension Income LLC in reali-ty came with high interest rates— a detail never disclosed.

The federal court action filedby the U.S. Consumer Financial

Protection Bureau and the NewYork State Department of Finan-cial Services accused the firmsand three present or former exec-utives of deceiving consumers by

characterizing the transactions asadvances, not loans.

“These companies duped con-sumers into taking out pensionloans by deceiving them aboutthe terms of the deal,” CFPB Di-rector Richard Cordray said.

A joint telephone number forthe firms had been disconnected,and corporate representativescould not be reached.

The companies paid to steerInternet search traffic to theirwebsites by targeting consumerswho conducted Google browsersearches for such phrases as“pension loan” or “sell my pen-sion,” the lawsuit charged.

The company websites de-scribed “tailored financing pro-grams” in which the firmspurported to make lump-sumpayments for eight years of futureincome from consumers’ pensionpayments, the lawsuit alleged.

“This pension payment is not apension loan; it is a pension lumpsum,” the websites allegedly stat-ed. The sites also allegedly prom-ised “(n)owhere else can youleverage your military, civil ser-vice or corporate pension to se-cure near-immediate cash.”

The scheme ran from 2011 un-til about December 2014. Thefirms told applicants the purport-

ed advances were better than ahome equity line of credit orcredit card, the lawsuit charged.

However, the transactions rep-resented loans that on averagehad an effective annual interestrate of 28.56%, the lawsuitcharged. The companies madetheir entire profit and deductedall fees at the inception of eachdeal, the lawsuit charged.

“This scheme involved falseadvertising, illegal loans at highinterest rates and other abusivetactics,” said Anthony Albanese,acting superintendent of the NewYork Department of FinancialServices.

Late summer swoon. Augustblues. China syndrome. Interestrate tantrum. Go-nowhere mar-ket. No matter what you blamethe recent U.S. stock marketweakness on, it’s hard not to no-tice that it’s a blah market.

And with no economic data setfor release Friday, investors willbe focusing solely on financialmarket data in stock, bond andcurrency markets to see whetherthere are any signs of stabiliza-tion that might suggest that themarket’s recent summer dol-drums are nearing an end orwhether the recent pain is likelyto continue.

The key thing to watch is whathappens in China when marketsopen. Will the hard-hit Shanghai

composite index, which has beenwildly volatile lately and whichfell 3.4% Thursday, find its foot-ing? How is the Chinese yuantrading?

Is the currency stable or slid-ing again following last week’ssurprise move by Beijing to deval-ue the currency in an effort tojump-start its slowing economy?

How do European stock index-es react to what happens in Asia?Is there a bounce in shares inGermany? Paris? London?

What about hard-hit emergingmarkets stocks? Do they mount arebound?

Finally, how do key U.S. stockindexes perform? Can the DowJones industrial average bounceback from back-to-back triple-digit declines? Is there talk of themarket being oversold and duefor a bounce? Or a breakdown be-low the low range of the recenttrading range?

NEW YORK Jesse Eisenberg has asimple rule of thumb when itcomes to co-stars.

“If you meet somebody saneand they’re in a movie, try to signon immediately,” he says of palKristen Stewart, with whom hereunites in stoner action comedyAmerican Ultra (opens Friday).

“That’s a really good point,”Stewart says. “Some actors areinsane people capable of pullingoff convincing, normal-peopleparts.” But with Eisenberg, “we’renerds. Nobody would ever enter-tain the 10 minutes it took for meto explain some thought youshould probably keep to yourself,but Jesse will listen to it all.”

“I mean, it’s only 10 minutes!Come on!” Eisenberg grins, jok-ingly throwing his hands up.

Since playing sheepish, smittentheme-park attendants in the2009 romp Adventureland, theyoung actors’ profiles have risenimmensely: Eisenberg, 31, earn-ing an Oscar nomination as Facebook co-founder Mark Zuck-erberg in The Social Network, andStewart, 25, tackling ambitiousroles in mostly well-received dra-mas post-Twilight. But they’dbeen hankering for the chance toreunite onscreen. In the genre-mashing Ultra, they tote guns andganja as amorous pot smokers

Phoebe and Mike, who turns outto be a lethal secret agent.

“I knew it was going to take apretty smart guy to hold it togeth-er and that Jesse could do that,”says Stewart, who committedalmost immediately after readingthe script. “It felt like a continua-tion of the dynamic we had donebefore, and I loved that.”

But Ultra was a different rollercoaster entirely. Not only did theyhave to throw punches andlaunch grenades to fend off gov-ernment operatives, they also hadto learn to wield more unortho-dox weaponry, most memorably athroat-slashing spoon.

“I wanted to believe that Jesseand Kristen could do this and forthem to do as much (stunt work)as possible,” says director NimaNourizadeh, which required bootcamp weeks before shooting inNew Orleans.

With Mike on the run fromCIA assassins for most of the film,it was non-stop action for Eisen-berg. But the bulk of Stewart’sfisticuffs are saved until the end,when a dinky grocery storebecomes the backdrop for an ex-plosive, bloody showdown.

“I could only show my truebadassery colors once or twice inthe movie,” Stewart laments.“Jesse literally has stunt afterstunt and all this choreography,and I had 30 seconds that Iworked on for like two weeks,which was really fun. I take twoguys down — ultimately, mystrongest hit is with my elbow.”

“I would say that’s your strong-est body part,” Eisenberg sayswryly.

“Yeah, that’s probably mymoneymaker right here,” Stewartchuckles, lifting her arm andpointing. “No, literally.”

The singer justcouldn’t helpherself as sheblurted outsome big newsat her soloshow Wednes-day night atStaples Centerin Los Angeles:“I’m totallypregnant,” sheannounced as

the audience cheered. The singer,who gave birth to daughter RiverRose last year, hadn’t intended on sharing the news. “That wasunplanned. I’m honestly so hormonal today,” she said. “We’vetold our family. Well, some ofthem, not all of them. But I wascrying and I didn’t want you tothink I was crazy.”

Josh Duggaris in hot wateragain. This time,the conservativeChristian star of TLC’s now-canceledseries ‘19 Kidsand Counting,’who recently

admitted to molesting underagegirls (including his younger sisters), is admitting to cheatingon his wife. “I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. Whileespousing faith and family val-ues, I have secretly over the lastseveral years been viewing por-nography on the Internet and thisbecame a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife,”read a statement from Josh post-ed Thursday on the Duggar fam-ily website. The statement, whichwas later edited to remove thereference to pornography, comesone day after a leak revealed hehad an account on Ashley Madi-son, an adultery website.

MAKING WAVES

A crimson western glow fades asthe rising full moon casts an ethe-real light upon the water. Batswhisk in and out of shadows.Cormorants and wading birds

quietly roost on tree branches while awak-ening barred owls echo from the growingdarkness. Choruses of frogs and insectsemanate from unseen sloughs and clumps ofwater weeds. Nature’s symphony rises andlowers as if someone is playing with thevolume. Leaping mullet slap the water asthey land. Color fades as the world trans-forms into a silver on black panorama.

Perfect timing for a moonlight paddling trip.People once believed, and some still do, that if one

falls under the spell of the full moon’s unearthly light,he or she is a “lunatic,” derived from the Latin word“luna,” meaning moon. Many people today use thisword in a different context and call people “loonies”for paddling down a river or across an open body of

water at night. Little do they realize that beinga “loony” is great fun, so long as a few precau-tions are taken before embarking.

In planning your trip, choose a clear, calmnight with no threat of storms, high winds ordense fog. Look up the exact time for the moon-rise and make sure it is rising over the horizonby the time you embark. Otherwise, you maybe in for an hour or more of darkness. Alwaysbring a flashlight and headlamp, just in case.

Calm lakes and protected bays and estuarieswork well for a moonlight trip. If choosing ariver, select one with a wide flow such as thelower St. Marks, Wakulla or upper Wacissa,

with no major side rivers or creeks branching from it.Scout ahead of time during daylight. The river shouldalso be free of snags or rapids, and the take-out pointshould be easily spotted in low light conditions. If notdropping off a vehicle at a prearranged take-out

The chickens arelaying hard-boiled eggs. The

cows are giving evap-orated milk. Old Doc,who was such a gooddog, is upstairs shav-ing himself with mybest razor. I’m sayingit’s hot out there peo-ple!

For North Floridatransplants like my-self, whose coolingstrategy is to makeexclamations, sum-mer in the panhandle can seemdownright unbearable. Luckilyfor me and other Florida gar-deners, several Florida nativeplants are particularly welladapted to heat and able to

withstand drought. In-corporating these “sun-shine plants” into yourgarden is a great way tokeep your yard thrivingand a little bit cooler allsummer long.

Heat-tolerant plantsare those that have de-veloped special ways tobattle “drought stress,”which is the technicalterm given when plantslose more water thanthey’re able to absorb.Wilting is likely an early

sign of drought stress. Flori-da’s typically sandy soils andhigh temperatures combine sothat many of its plants may

experience drought stressafter a few days without water.Plants that have adapted clev-er ways to retain water, suchas large root systems for ab-sorbing rainfall quickly, orthick, waxy-coated leaves for

reducing evaporation, arebetter able to survive dryspells. Notice the waxy coatingon vincas’ leaves. Vincas aren’tFlorida natives, but they canbe a colorful and reliable sta-ple for hot weather flower-

beds.Below is a short list of five

Florida native plants that per-form well, even in the dog daysof summer. Do your worst,North Florida:

When I was a little kid Iwas very interestedin dinosaurs. I had

plenty of plastic dinosaurtoys, too, but this was wayback before Jurassic Park and“realistic” versions of dino-saurs, whether on screen or intoy form.

One of my creatures wasthe “ankylosaurus,” modeledafter a squatty, heavily-ar-mored toad-like animal with aspiky back, and a weird, club-shaped tail, an animal that lived 70million years ago, and was about thesize of a limousine. (Although a vege-tarian, this particular dinosaur wouldprobably not have made a good pet,unless you had a really big backyard,and didn’t mind having everything inyour garden consumed. And even then,you might wonder that something thatlooked like this was a bit peevish, nottoo sociable. But who would know?)

“Horned melon,” “Kiwano,” Cucumismetuliferus, our Mystery Plant looks

like it could be some kind of dino-saur egg, complete with spikes.(When you think about it, though,it wouldn’t make much sense forany kind of eggs to be coveredwith spikes or spines. That prob-ably wouldn’t go over too wellwith whatever kind of animal waslaying them.)

This is a fruit that has gainedat least some popularity in Amer-ican markets. It is a native oftropical Africa, and is grown nowcommercially in California. It’s a

close relative of the common cucum-ber, and thus is a member of the plantfamily “Cucurbitaceae,” which alsogives us pumpkins, watermelons,gourds, and zucchini. As are just aboutall of the members of the cucumberfamily, our spiky fruit comes from anannual plant, one that grows veryquickly, once sprouted, and makes avigorous vine. It likes to climb with itstendrils, and can cover up a trellis in notime. The flowers are either male orfemale (like a cucumber).

The fruits develop from the ovary ofthe female flower, starting out green,but as they ripen, turning a wonderfulshade of yellow-orange. Inside the ripefruit there are lots and lots of seeds, allsurrounded by a green pulp. This pulpis quite juicy, and after straining, andaugmentation with some considerable

amount of sugar, renders a fruity drink,which tastes, to some, like a mixture ofbanana and citrus. However, this is oneof those fruits that may demand sometime learning to enjoy: some find thepulp bitter and quite disagreeable.Tasty or not, the pulp is full of vitaminC.

Seeds of this curious vine are avail-able to you in various ways (not fromme), and the plants are said to be easyto grow. They would be great for achild’s garden. Just give the vines plen-ty of sunlight and water, and room forgrowing. If you don’t want to eat thefruits, they make great table deco-rations for the holidays. Or, you couldscoop out the insides and use the shellsfor little bowls. Fun for the whole fam-ily!

is a very tough plant that willgrow well in full sun. Plant yuccain well-drained soil and combineit with evergreen shrubs andflowering perennials such asfleabane and beach sunflower.There are many species andcultivars of yucca on the market,so there are a lot of choices forthe landscape.

» Sunshine mimosa – Mimo-sa strigillosa, commonly called“powderpuff” for the shape of itsshowy flowers, is a thorn-less,mat-forming, perennial ground-cover, usually growing 3 to 4inches tall. The leaflets are re-

markably sensitive to touch,folding up within one or two sec-onds after being disturbed, henceit’s other nickname: “sensitiveplant.” Sunshine Mimosa is alarval food source for the littlesulphur butterfly.

» Beach sunflower – Helian-thus debilis is a spreading peren-nial that has attractive, small,sunflower-like flower heads,which are borne throughout theyear. Its leaves are dark green,irregularly lobed and toothed,and roughly pubescent. Beachsunflower thrives in full sun andin well-drained soil.

» Common Sage – Salviaofficinalis is a small evergreensubshrub with woody stems,grayish leaves, and blue to pur-plish flowers. A member of themint family, it has sweet smell-

ing leaves, which can be put touse in the kitchen.

» Firebush – Hamelia patensis a charming Florida native thatwill delight everyone with beauti-ful orange-red flowers through-out most of the year. The slenderflowers are tubular, and the plantcan reach 8 to 12 feet tall withoutsupport. A one-foot tall specimenthat is planted in the spring canbe expected to reach 5 feet ormore by the following winter.Although tolerant of shade, flow-ering is much reduced.

point, plan to paddle against the current first if pos-sible so you can float back during the second half ofthe trip when your arms might be getting tired.

For spotting night creatures, a good flashlight orheadlight works well. Itis advisable to tie a pieceof red cellophane overthe beam in order not toblind owls and othernight creatures withsensitive eyes. If pad-dling on southern riversor lakes, scan the shorewith a flashlight for redalligator eyes. The far-ther apart the eyes, thebigger the gator!

Other practical itemsare bug repellent and ajacket if cool temper-atures are forecast. En-sure that everyone wearstheir life jackets sincewater rescues at nightcan be more challenging.If traveling on a waterbody that might haveboat traffic, place a bat-tery operated runninglight on your canoe orkayak bow and, if pad-dling in a group, stayclose together. If nervousabout moonlight pad-dling, check with local outfitters or paddling clubs.They often plan moonlight excursions.

In your preparations, don’t forget the midnightsnacks! Nothing is better than food in the great out-doors under a full moon. And remember to just havefun and let loose a little, maybe do a little howling.OwwwWoooo! That’s what being a lunatic is all about.

When it comes tostrange birdnames, even

biologists sometimesneed a little convincingabout etymology.

The best family vaca-tion I ever had was in the

Galapa-gos Is-lands.Located600 milesoff thewesterncoast ofEcuador,theseislandsareamongthe

world’s most famousecological wonders. Itwas here that CharlesDarwin studied manybirds — especially Gala-pagos finches — in devel-oping his science-shatter-ing studies that led to histheories of natural selec-tion and species evolu-tion. The Galapagos arealso famous as naturepreserves where birdsand other animals haveno fear of humans.

I had long heard thisreputation, but as a ca-reer wildlife photog-rapher and biologist, Iwas very skeptical thatwildlife would allowhumans to walk right upto them without flyingaway. Plus some of thenames of the birds justsounded ridiculous. Blue-footed boobies — please,who ever heard of such athing? They can’t pos-sibly be real!

The first island wevisited, Española, provid-ed me with all the proof Ineeded. As we glidedbreathlessly along thetrail accompanied by ournaturalist guide, we hadto carefully plan eachstep to avoid crushing anegg, nest, or even anentire bird. We walkedright through the middleof huge rookeries full ofnesting masked, red-footed, and — yes, therethey were in all theircerulean splendor —blue-footed boobies bythe thousands!

OK, so exactly what,you may ask, is all this“blue-footed” nonsenseanyway? As you mightguess, it has to do withattracting the ladies. Themales with the bluestfeet are the ones that arethe most successful atcatching nutritious freshfish. In fact, when boo-bies are kept in captivityand fed already dead orfrozen fish, the color oftheir feet starts to fadewithin two days. Thus thecombination of themales’ fabulously brightblue feet —signaling“hey, I’m the best provid-er” — and some niftyprancing, dancing, andstamping quickly has thefemales falling for theshowiest males, and thenesting games soon be-gin.

The blue-foots also usetheir fabulous feet in thechick-rearing process,using them to cover thenestlings for extra

warmth.Spanish explorers

called the blue-footsbobo, meaning stupid,because they appearedclumsy on land. Butwhen we got back to ourtour boat and watchedtheir amazing aerialartistry, the word awe-some — not stupid —came to mind. A largefeeding flock of blue-foots repeatedly soaredup to more than 50 feetabove the water. Whenthey spotted fish below,they turned into sleekavian guided missiles,folding their wings, stick-ing their necks and headsstraight out, extendingtheir feet behind them,and zooming down inextreme power dives.The effect was likewatching hundreds ofminiature torpedoesexploding below the wa-ter’s surface all at once.

A garden pond is atranquil spot, bringingthe relaxing sound ofcascading water to a

landscapewhileprovidingexcellenthabitatfor wild-life.Plants areof utmostimpor-tance increating ahealthygardenpond.

Thereare two

categories of underwaterplants — submerged anddeep water aquatics.Both survive and thrivewith their roots underwater or in permanentlysaturated soil.

Submerged plantshave underwater leaves.Two of the best sub-merged plants are horn-

wort and tapegrass. Bothprovide cover and breed-ing habitat for fish, frogsand other wildlife. Theyhelp oxygenate the pond,releasing oxygen fromtheir leaves as a by-prod-uct of photosynthesis.Oxygen passes directlyinto the water, enablingthe water to supportother life forms.

Hornwort is a freefloating plant and is pur-chased by the handfuland released to floatloosely in the pond. Ta-pegrass, purchased insmall pots and placed onthe bottom of the pond, isa graceful underwaterflowing grass for sun orshade. Both will multiplyand need to be thinned

periodically.Deep water aquatic

plants have roots andflexible stems which aresubmerged, but leavesand flowers must floatabove the water. Goodexamples are water lil-ies, which must have sunin order to bloom well.

In addition to provid-ing habitat, underwaterplants also absorb nutri-ents (from pond fish) thatare dissolved in waterthereby competing withalgae. Probably moreimportant in the controlof algae is the shade thatwater lilies and otherplants provide. Goodadvice is to plant yourpond with enough aquaticplants to cover sixty toeighty percent of thepond’s surface. However,remember that algae is afact of life for a watergardener. It cannot betotally eliminated, butcan be controlledthrough creating a bal-

anced ecosystem.Your pond should also

contain marginal plantsthat inhabit shallow wa-ter or the edges of a wa-ter garden. They providevertical contrast andcover for birds, aquaticinsects and other smallcreatures. It is importantto position marginals inthe depth of water thatbest suits each individualplant. Most grow quickly;you may need to controlgrowth by isolating them

in planting beds or inpots.

Some good examplesare lemon bacopa, liz-ard’s tail, duck potato orarrowhead, pickerel-weed, rush, Howie’ssedge, cardinal flowerand blue flag iris. Lemonbacopa is a low growing,mat-forming perennialfound on saturated soil orshallowly inundated. Ithas bright blue flowers in

As she raises twodaughters while manag-ing a yoga studio, Nash-ville, Tennessee, momJennifer DerryberryMann swears by Googlecalendars on her phoneto keep everyone orga-nized.

For Kelly Ubinger,working and raising fourkids in Pittsburgh re-quires a huge, paper wallcalendar with everyone’sactivities recorded.

In Washington, D.C.,single mom El Brownuses the digital orga-nizing app Cozi to coor-dinate life with her sonwhile running a businessand pursuing a doctoratedegree.

Strategies vary wide-ly, but many parentsagree that having somekind of system to manageschedules is important —especially at this time ofyear.

“Families with kidscan wing it on lazy sum-mer mornings,” saysCynthia Ewer, founder ofOrganizedHome.com.But “back-to-schoolbrings new organiza-tional challenges. Addingschool, extracurricularactivities and sports to afamily’s schedule cancause chaos unlessyou’ve got a good grip ontime management.”

As the school yearbegins, some suggestionson creating and improv-ing a family system thatworks:

Where

Designate spots forpermission slips, soccercleats, musical instru-ments and more — whatEwer calls “the mis-cellany that will floatthrough the householdstarting on the first dayof school” — so you don’twaste time trying to findit each day.

She suggests creatinga “family launch pad” ina common area. Youmight place a file box ona shelf and fill it withcolor-coded folders (onefor each child’s paper-work), or tack plasticpouches to a wall, eachlabeled with a child’sname. Donna SmallinKuper, founder of Un-clutter.com, uses Post-ItWall Pockets for thispurpose.

Add hooks beneath thepouches or shelf for jack-ets and lunch boxes, andplace labeled bins on thefloor beneath each hook.Have kids drop back-packs in their bin, alongwith other items that gowith them to school. Binsand baskets are helpfulfor kids, says SmallinKuper, because tossingshoes or unfolded cloth-ing in them is much sim-pler — and more likely tohappen — than arrangingshoes in a row, or foldingclothes.

Craft blogger JenniferYates has created a fam-ily “command center”using two old windowscreens, one for eachchild. She glued clothes-pins onto the frames forposting papers; attachedwooden hymnal holdersreclaimed from churchpews to hold other pa-pers and small items; andadded a row of hooks.

“It hasn’t helped mealways turn in things ontime,” Yates says, “but atleast it keeps us fromlosing important papers.And it gives us a place toshow off their work, too.”

What

The family organiza-tion app Cozi (at Cozi.com) includes a calendarfunction that can beshared among familymembers and updated bykids or parents. The applets you record mealplans, and shopping and“to do” lists.

Similarly, Outlook,Apple and Google calen-dars can be customizedwith color-coded entriesfor each family member,and updated and sharedamong devices.

If you prefer low-tech,a large paper calendarhung in a central spot canbe color-coded for eachperson, and you canachieve some of the por-

tability of a digital calen-dar by snapping a photoof the calendar beforeleaving home.

Mann, the Nashvilleyoga teacher, combinesboth approaches: Sheuses Google calendar butalso has her daughters’schedules written incolorful marker andtacked to the wall.

A digital list-makercan help you avoid mak-ing multiple trips to thestore. Family memberscan update it from wher-ever they are, and youcan look at it while you’rerunning errands. (Be-sides Cozi, check out theEvernote and Omnifocusapps.)

Smallin Kuper sug-gests getting kids in-volved in keeping thingsorganized; it’s “a way tostrengthen bonds.”

“You might even havejust one child help youfor the week with clean-ing, laundry and mealprep. It makes them feelspecial to have that one-on-one time with you, andthey are learning skillsfor life,” she says.

The truly organizedsay weekday morningsalso can be made easierby prepping lunches andsnacks ahead of time.Smallin Kuper suggeststaking time Sunday toprep individual baggiesof cut vegetables or nuts

summer and what I love most aboutit is its lemon scented foliage. An-other favorite is cardinal flower,with its brilliant red flower spikesthat hummingbirds visit in summer.This can be planted at the edge ofthe pond or kept in a clay pot sittingin shallow water. Want butterflies?Plant pickerel weed with its lovelypurple blossoms.

Finally, use moisture lovingplants around the pond to createhabitat and to lightly shade thepond. These are plants that thrive inmoist soil, but will not tolerate wa-terlogged soil. An example is maid-enhair fern. It will accent the rocksaround the edges of your pond, butwill die if inundated.

All the plants listed in this articleare native to Florida. Be very care-ful with non-native aquatic plants.Some may have the potential tobecome the next invasive plant suchas hydrilla or water hyacinthswhich choke our lakes, rivers andsprings. The worst of our aquaticinvasives were introduced as pondplants through the aquarium andnursery industries.

Well, they always said that I had to have the lastword so if your reading this I have passed from thisworld. I was born Karen Elizabeth Zacharias (later tobe Markus) on July 10th, 1946 in Bi-loxi, Mississippi. My parents Roy andErnestine Markus raised my broth-er Jimmy, sister Becky, and I on LakeTalquin in Tallahassee where they in-stilled my Christian faith. I graduatedfrom Leon High School and moved toCrestview, Fl. Over my lifetime I woremany hats (so to speak).To name a fewCourt Reporter, Troy State University student (whereI was just shy 12 hours of a 4 year degree) and mostimportantly Civil Service on EAFB where I retiredafter 28 years. I loved with all my heart and was luckyto have two great loves in my life.Tommy Adams withwhom we had a daughter named Melanie Jane Ad-ams (Hale). I wanted to name her Scarlett after GoneWithThe Wind but everyone thought that the boringco-stars name was better. Later in my life I re-marriedto Dale Lloyd who proceeded me in death in 2005. Iloved to talk and never met a stranger my daddy saidso how lucky was I that I talked almost everyday tomy sisters Becky Markus Walker (Hahira, Ga), Lin-da Zacharias Schonewitz (Biloxi, Miss.) and cous-in Patricia Wagner Alley (Tallahassee) my whole lifeuntil the end. In my dying wish’s I clearly stated formy daughter to write my obit and “to pretend that Iwas a good mother” but she knew that was a joke be-cause she held my heart and I held her hand. I wasthere to welcome my grandchildren Ashton Beaux-Hunter Hale, Daniele Nicole Hale and later HeatherBrooklyn Hale (all of Crestview, Fl) into this world.There was nothing I wouldn’t do for them and just as Ithought I could not be a prouder Mom or Mimi I be-came a Great Mimi of Payne Gabriel Hale, BrantleyHunter Hale and Sailor Pierce Morey. With that andsome very special nieces and nephews I found my lifecomplete.The last decade of my life I had the privi-lege of moving back home with my mom in Tally for7 years and also the privilege to be holding her handwhen she passed away. I moved back to be with mykids and 2 years later that’s when it happened. August15th, 2015 (I tried to tell them lol)! Remember mewhen you see a Cardinal or a vine ripe tomato (wellany food for that matter), or a yard-sale. Don’t grievefor me too much, but maybe a little, after all I did die!I loved you all. Funeral arrangements will be at BeggsFuneral Home in Tallahassee with a viewing Saturdaynight, August 22nd from 5-7. Lying in wait Sundaythe 23rd from 12-2 and a church service at 2:00 fol-lowed by internment at Woodville Cemetery. I hopeto see you there.

Elston Edward (“Steve”) Roady

Professor Elston E.Roady, 95, left this earth-ly 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 devot-ed 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 Talla-hassee, Matthew Lines (Mirela) of Miami, Mi-chael Lines (Rachael) of Connecticut, Lau-ra Capito (Charles) of Maryland, Peter Roady of New York City, Jen-nifer Roady-Law-son (Rowdy), Katherine Bo-land ( Jamie) and Chris Roady, Jr., of Tallahassee;his adored great-grand-children, Ethan and Meghan Sands, Catali-na, Angelina and Nico-leta Lines, Max and Lily Lines, Celia and Charlie Capito, Dylan, Rhys and Zane Lawson, and Ever-ett , Eva and Eliza Bo-land; and his much-ad-mired step-daughters Hilda Dawson (Harry) of North Carolina and Sue Conte Sherman (Gary) and Phyllis Hyt-nen (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 surround-ing the town, reveling in Boy Scout activities,taking years of piano les-sons and participating in track and field, basket-ball, debate and drama in high school. Receiv-ing on graduation one of two academic scholar-ships 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 nick-name; he played a paper-boy named Steve, and this name followed him all his life. He graduated from Illinois State [Nor-mal] University in 1942 just after Pearl Harbor.

Steve’s 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-devel-oped 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 Neth-erlands East Indies, to Tacloban (Leyte), San Marcelino (Luzon), Ma-nila, and finally to Puer-to 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-at-tack by Japanese Army regulars intent on taking back the airfield at Ta-cloban. 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 equato-rial heat, he returned to an ice storm in Illinois,where he married Bar-bara 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 po-litical science from the University of Illinois in 1947, and was immedi-ately hired by the for-mer women’s college in Tallahassee as it became a co-educational institu-tion of higher learning – Florida State Univer-sity. He was among the first instructors hired by FSU. He returned to the University of Il-linois to get his Ph.D.degree in 1948, and was back at FSU as an assis-tant professor by 1950.He liked to tell stories about “West Campus,”converted barracks at the former airfield located near the current Mess-er 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 cre-ated and for many years taught a seminal course on Southern Politics.He was international-ly 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 stu-dents about government and politics.

Steve believed in prac-ticing politics as well as teaching and studying it.While at FSU, he started the Congressional In-tern and the Legislative Intern programs, allow-ing exceptionally bright students to work in the Congress and in the

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 advi-sor on good government practices to the League of Women Voters’ Elec-tion Reform Commit-tee, the governments of Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and the former West Ger-man Federal Republic.He helped draft the elec-tion code in Florida and in fourteen other states.He served on two presi-dential commissions: the Presidential Nominating Process and Registration and Voting Reforms. He also served as a Demo-cratic Precinct Commit-teeman, the acting direc-tor of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee under Lyn-don Johnson, and as an aide to the Florida Dem-ocratic Campaign Com-mittee and a delegate to the 1956 Democratic Convention.

Steve was a visionary pioneer in the effort to establish sensible lim-its on the use of money in politics. He worked with the Florida Depart-ment of State and key legislators in developing ground-breaking cam-paign 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 Tal-lahassee, Steve consid-ered it his civic respon-sibility 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 Muse-um of Natural History).He was a deacon in the Church of Christ, be-coming a member of Trinity United Meth-odist 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 Tal-lahassee Camellia and Garden Club.

In retirement, Steve kept busy on Envision Credit Union commit-tees, as a member and of-ficer in the Leon-Wakul-la Retired Educators Association, meeting with the Retired Facul-ty of FSU; and starting each morning with the Governor’s Square Mall

Walkers. He loved at-tending musical perfor-mances at FSU. He readat least three newspapers every day, among themthe New York Times,and was an astute hand-icapper of political con-tests at the local, stateand national levels. Illi-nois State, his alma ma-ter, presented him with its Distinguished Alum-ni Award shortly after he retired.The high point ofthe award for Steve was being crowned AlumniHomecoming King and riding in the homecom-ing parade.

Although Steve was an active member ofthe community, a pro-lific author of scholarlyarticles, and a dedicated teacher, he always hadtime to remain closelyinvolved in his children’s (and grandchildren’s) ac-tivities. Through all the years – including the last weeks of his life – he un-failingly provided wise counsel on all manner ofissues that were of inter-est or concern to them.On the sports front, he managed Cub League baseball and Junior HighCity 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 en-thusiastically attendedmany performances over the years as his grand-children participated in gymnastics, chorus, mu-sic, soccer, football, and dramatic performanc-es. He was especially enamored of his manygreat-grandchildren; in one of his last comments he expressed his love for his “sweet little darlings.”

As a widower late in life, Steve was captivatedby his charming West-minster Oaks neighbor,Priscilla Thayer Jones. To the delight of the entirecommunity, they weremarried in high style on June 13, 2009. The couple honeymoonedin Steve’s North Caro-lina summer home. Asa 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 andhappy 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 from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm on Friday, August 21, 2015 at Culley’s MeadowWood Funer-al Home at 1737 Rig-gins Road. A memori-al service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Sat-urday, August 22, 2015 at the Maguire Center at Westminster Oaks.In lieu of flowers, the family suggests dona-tions to the Big Bend Hospice.

Pressuring the quarterback is thegoal for every defense playing the gameof football.

But keeping that pressure appliedonce the ball is out of the quarterback’shands is the real key.

Florida State linebacker TerranceSmith said the Seminoles are focusing ontheir “pursuit of the ball” heading intothe final days of fall camp.

The Seminoles will conclude fallcamp after Saturday’s scrimmage insideDoak Campbell Stadium, but will stillhave two weeks to prepare for the seasonopener against Texas State on Sept. 5.

FSU’s pursuit on defense begins withthe defensive line, and Smith said agreater emphasis has been placed on en-suring the linemen are making plays onthe football down the field.

“You never know what play will

change the game,” Smith said. “And do-ing things like that is going to make ourdefense just that much better.”

FSU hopes D-line can apply pressure

D.A. ROBIN/DEMOCRAT

Florida StatelinebackerTerrance Smith

Cheyna Williams doesn’t have muchto say about the achievements of the2014 Florida State soccer team.

She’s only once watched FSU’s 1-0victory over ACC rival Virginia in thenational title game, and she assisted onthe championship-winning goal. FSUstomped through the NCAA tournamentand the Women’s College Cup with al-lowing an opposing team to score a goal.

All of that is in the past, and the Semi-noles are focused on the challenge of re-peating as national champs. Williams, asenior forward on the team, said tostart, the Seminoles are ready to take onsomeone outside of practice.

“It’s fun scrimmaging these guys be-cause they always compete,” she said.“Practice has been fun because of that.But it’s always nice to get some outsidecompetition and really put ourselves tothe test.”

The Seminoles open the season on theroad against New Mexico tonight in theLobo Invitational. They’ll stay in Albu-querque to play Southern California onSunday before coming back to Tallahas-see for an Aug. 28 home opener againstSoutheastern Louisiana.

Head coach Mark Krikorian said theteam’s focus has always been on hardwork. A national title hasn’t softenedthat approach, and the team is still hun-gry despite accolades from last seasonthat have led to high outside expecta-tions.

Those expectations loom right overone of the goals at FSU’s soccer field —the team practices underneath a huge2014 Women’s College Cup champion-ship banner.

“Of course there’s a target on ourback — we’re the defending nationalchampions and every team is going toknow that when we go in,” Krikoriansaid.

CHAMP HARVICK TOPPING HIMSELF PAGE 6D

Thursday’s preseason football gamebetween Wakulla and Leon at Gene CoxStadium served its purpose for bothteams.

Wakulla, which rolled to a 34-3 win,didn't need to play quarterback and LSUcommit Feleipe Franks. He suffered anankle injury in practice leading up to thegame.

War Eagles receiver Keith Gavin, aFlorida State commit, played exclusivelyat safety and kick returner.

Leon tried to figure out who its quar-terback would be for its 100th year offootball.

"We learned they're very good, but wewanted to play a lot of guys and franklydidn't scheme for them," third-year Lionscoach Tim Cokely said. "We played likeyou play when you haven't played in along time."

Wakulla was up 20-3 at halftime, andafter the break no starters played.

"We had two turnovers early thatstopped drives and we can't do that, sothere's a lot of things to work," War Ea-gles coach Scott Klees said. "But I wasvery proud of our defense, because Ithought they hit and ran to the ball verywell."

For next week he added: "Feleipe is go-ing to play."

ware. The last thing you want isthe reel spool to warp, bind, getripped out and take all your rodguides and 6 inches of rod tip withit as it disappears into the sea.Makes for a bad day on the water.

Also make sure you have a wireleader. Wahoo have excellent den-tal work that can easily slicethrough even the heaviest monofil-ament leaders. No. 7 brown-tonewire leaders at least 6 feet longwill do nicely.

TechniquesSuccessful wahoo fishermen

have found the best lure colors tobe combinations of red and black.Red alone also works well. Spoons,feathers, skirts, high-speed trollinglures, and teasers in those colorsseem to catch the most wahoo.

When the water is calm wahootend to move closer to the surface.That's when anglers fishing with asplashing red-and-black bait scorebest. Another important point toremember when it's calm is troll-ing speed. The calmer the seas, thefaster you troll. The more surfacecommotion there is, the more wa-hoo hits you'll get. High-speedtrolling accounts for many of thewahoo taken during the summer.Where regular surface trolling isabout 6-7 knots, high-speed trollingof specially designed lures can beas much as 14 knots.

Live bait anglers can fish anysea conditions for wahoo. If it'srough, drop the baitfish down be-tween 10 and 30 feet with eitherlead weights or on a downrigger.On calm days, freeline or trollthem slowly, just below the sur-face.

When you do catch a wahoo,stay in the area. They seldom trav-el alone. Some of the better wahoofishermen will stay in the sameplace for at least half an hour

According to legend, the namewahoo came from the reaction ofthe first angler to hook one on rodand reel. He screamed it in a high-pitched shriek (probably becausehis rod wasn't in a holder when thefish was hooked) and the namestuck.

They look somewhat like a kingmackerel, but witha more streamlined,pointed body. Thecobalt-blue, verti-cally-striped, torpe-do-shaped speed-sters (Acanthocyu-bium solandri) arerecognized as oneof the fastest fish inthe sea. Grantedsome other fishmight be slightlyfaster for short

bursts, but for sustained speed,none can beat the wahoo.

Locating the FishThe majority of the wahoo tak-

en in this area are caught offshorein blue water along the deep-waterside of reef edges, around deep-water wrecks, and near seamounts. Wahoo tend to be ambushfeeders, so they look for places tohide. Their preferred water tem-peratures is between 72 and 80degrees Fahrenheit. They have,however, been taken in water tem-peratures as low as 68 degrees andas high as 85 degrees.

On rough days wahoo tend tostay deep. Anglers must get theirbait or lure down to where the fishare. Downriggers, planers, wireline and trolling weights are pop-ular methods of fishing deep forwahoo.

Specialized Tackle NeededWith a downrigger, virtually any

type of lure or bait can be takendown to the fish. And when a hook-up is made, the fish can be foughtwithout the added hassle of troll-ing weights or shock leaders.Downriggers, however, are expen-sive. Plan on spending between$150 and $500 or more for a goodone designed for saltwater use.The best ones feature an electricretrieve and the ability to vary thetrolling depth automatically (oscil-late). Forget the models made forfreshwater trolling in the greatlakes. They will rust away after ashort time.

An alternative to the downrig-ger is a planer. It is cheaper, workson hydrodynamic principles, butputs added strain on tackle andhampers fighting a fish. When theywork right a striking fish will tripa mechanism, causing the planerand hooked fish to rise to the sur-face...when they work right. Don'tbother if there is suspended sea-weed in the water.

Wire line works well too, butcan be dangerous to anglers whenthe fish is close to the boat. Wirealso puts an added strain on tackleand should be used only on rodsthat have roller guides. Monel wire(a copper/nickel alloy) works best(resists kinking), but soft stainlesssteel wire is much cheaper. Yourcall.

Fishing with heavy trollingweights is the most inexpensiveway to get baits deep, and also themost cumbersome. Regardless ofthe method used, however, whenit's rough, the only way to catchwahoo is to get down to them.

Rods should be very stout andat least 6 feet long. The length willgive you added leverage. With abig wahoo you will need all theleverage you can get.

Reels should be capable of hold-ing at least 400 yards of 30-pound-test line. The drag (brake) must besmooth and capable of dissipatinga lot of heat. Runs of 100 yards arenot uncommon with wahoo. Makesure the reel has a solid metalspool and sturdy mounting hard-

when they catch one.Tasty Table FareWahoo is one of the finest fish in

the sea when it comes to table fare.Steaked, marinated and grilledover charcoal results in a superbmeal. The flesh cooks up firm,white, and mild flavored. Some-times wahoo can be dry, so bastethe fillets or steaks frequentlyduring cooking.

Saltwater

Apalachicola BayCaptain Russ Knapp at Journeys on St.

George Island ([email protected](850) 927 3259) said things picked up this week."Captain Paul Polous has been finding nice red-fish in the creek mouths of East Bay. Live orfresh-killed shrimp on the bottom have beendoing the trick. Flounder have been in the (BobSikes) Cut and around structure in the bay."Knapp said there have been "lots of small troutbehind the east end of St. George Island. Off-shore, Captain Clint Taylor says live bottom andlive bait is the plan. All types of snapper andgrouper are looking for a meal. Really nice cobiaare showing up, so don't forget your flat line."

Apalachee BayOtto Hough at Myhometownfishing.com

([email protected]) said: "TheNew Moon weekend was kind to many angersin spite of the aggravating southeast winds thatseemingly blew all weekend. From east of theAucilla to Carrabelle, the reds were roamingand feeding on the falling tides this past week-end and week. Good reports (came in) of qualityfish being taken at first light and late evening asthe tides were falling. Topwater was doing thetrick, both early and late in the skinny water.The gold Aqua Dream spoon was a hot com-modity up into the mid-morning hour. Tides forour coming weekend," said Hough, "will behigh right around sunrise, falling towards mid-day. Even though we will be between moons inthe first quarter, the early morning tide once itgets moving out ought to give up a pretty fairbite on topwater plugs like the Skitterwalk, OneKnocker and Super Spook. The Bone pattern hasbeen the hot color with the light cloud coverwe've been experiencing each day. Same shouldbe the case over the weekend given the weath-er forecast for isolated to scattered showers, butno washout.

"Last week," said Hough, "the stickbaits(gold Redfin and Bomber Long A) really drewthe attention of the reds. Again, no reason notto expect similar results. The constant string ofon and off rain over Apalachee Bay has servedto lower the water temps ever so slightly. Thetrout bite has been frisky, but it is certainly pick-ing up. Long about the first of September weought to see a marked increase in the troutstrikes." Said Hough: "Without question, thereare 'go fast' fish roaming the St. Marks Refugebuoy line and well inside too. All are devouringthe schools of baitfish wandering the east andwest flats. Any lure with a shine will gain quickattention from the Spanish (mackerel), jack cre-valle and bluefish that have been slamming thebaitfish. For some catching fun, just do a little'run & gun' action to the jittery pods and starttossing those lures at 'em. Wire leaders (prefer-ably black or brown) are definitely advisable.Outside of the 9-mile-limit, the gags are likingthe live baits, especially the pinfish, over livestructure. Slow trolling (about 4.5 to 4.8 knots) aMann's Stretch 30 or a MirrOlure 111MR hasbeen producing a goodly number of good gagsover live bottom as well."

Captain Dave Lear in Tallahassee said strongeast winds and thunderstorms kept the lid onfishing this past week. He said just a few anglerscaught trout and redfish on topwater Skitter-walks.

Keaton BeachCaptain Pat McGriff of One More Cast Guide

Service (www.onemorecast.net (850) 584-9145)said: "Trout fishing was fair when we had abreeze, and tough when we didn't this pastweek, as evidenced by the seven trout Billy Pil-low and I caught Thursday last. Friday, I had Da-vid and Drew Parkman of Columbus, Ga. outand we landed eight trout and two black seabass while fishing with live pinfish under BackBay Thunder floats. Our fish came from 5.5-6.5feet of water and the water temps ran from 84-88 in the afternoon. "Saturday we dropped tofive trout and two black sea bass as the winddropped to less than 5 knots most of the day.The trout simply didn't want to move in thatwarm of water with no breeze. The catfish woreus out despite where we might move and try.Look for trout to act pretty much the same thisweekend," said McGriff, "although the tidesare backwards, so you will have to fish a fallingtide with a.m. highs. Live pinfish is the ticket, as Ihave yet to catch a fish in the last three weeks onplastic."

SteinhatcheeRichard McDavid at Sea Hag Marina in Stein-

hatchee (352-498-3008) sent some great photosof this past week's action. The most outstandingfish was a 26.5-inch trout caught by Tyler Revels.Other anglers caught scattered trout and red-fish. SCUBA divers have been slaying grouperand other bottom species too slow to swimaway. Scallopers continue to get limits withoutmuch effort.

Freshwater

Lake MiccosukeeEli Reeves at Reeves Fish Camp and Camp-

grounds on Lake Miccosukee, (850) 893-9940,said high temperatures and low water havecombined to make fishing difficult, but not im-possible. Those who have bothered to go outhave been doing well on flyers (fly bream). Hesaid for some reason they recently have beenbiting best on live crickets rather than liveworms. Anglers also have been catching perch(specks) and lots of catfish (on worms). Reevessaid as the water cools, panfish should beginbedding and catches getting better.

rence-Stample, DerrickMitchell Jr., Smith saidsophomore Derrick Nna-di, and redshirt freshmenDemarcus Christmas andArthur Williams have alsostood out at the defensivetackle position in prac-tice.

“They hold the pointpretty well, and they’redoing a good job,” Smithsaid.

Five-star freshman de-fensive end Josh Sweatcontinues to earn praisefrom his teammates andcoaches as he recoversfrom major knee surgery.The Seminoles are alsoworking without defen-sive ends Lorenzo Feath-erston and Chris Casher,who both required arthro-scopic knee procedures.

“He’s a tremendousathlete,” Smith said ofSweat. “The things he cando rushing off the edge iscrazy. He has tremendousspeed coming off thatedge and his pass rushingskills are going to be real-ly, really needed.”

Smith also said defen-sive end Demarcus Walk-er has the ability to be

moved inside to play tack-le much like Mario Ed-wards Jr. did for the Semi-noles last season.

Smith credited defen-sive ends coach BradLawing for his work help-ing the defensive linemanimprove their technique.With the linemen workingto limit space inside thepocket for quarterbacks,the other players on de-fense can zone in on theirassignments with moreemphasis as well.

“When you affect thequarterback, it changesthe defense,” Smith said.

“It affects everybody.When you take the quar-terback out of his comfortzone, it just throws the of-fense off. It throws theirrhythm off. They don’thave the time they need inroutes and things likethat. So it just gives every-body a chance to makemore plays.”

Head coach JimboFisher has said his teamwill play in nickel forma-tion at least 70 percent ofthe time to combat withopposing offenses wish-ing to move the ball in thepassing game.

But the Seminoles willalso use six defensivebacks in the dime packagebecause of FSU’s line-backer situation, withSmith and redshirt seniorReggie Northrup as themost experienced playersat the position.

Smith said backup line-backers Tyrell Lyons andRo’Derrick Hoskins are“a lot further along” be-cause of the experiencethey’ve gained as the No. 1linebackers during springpractice with Smith andNorthrup sidelined.

Transfer Lorenzo Phil-lips is also making stridesat the position. Smith saidPhillips is physical andwill “be a playmaker forus,” but has to gain a bet-ter grasp of the playbook.

“Any time I’m in therewith him, if there’s any-thing he doesn’t know, Itell him ‘ask me ques-tions,’” Smith said. “We’rejust trying to help himalong as much as he can.Get him caught up quicklybecause we’re going toneed everybody on ourlinebacker staff.

“Our depth is not as(deep) as we want it to be,but we have enough ath-letes and we enough peo-ple to get what we needto.”

Pressure

Former Ohio State run-ning back Maurice Clar-ett met with the FloridaState football team onWednesday night to sharehis journey from beingone of college football’sbest players in the early2000s to serving jail timefor miscues off the field.

“Essentially, I waswhat y’all was: a nationalchampion, right?” Clarettsaid in a video of the meet-ing posted on ESPN.com.“So how do you go frombeing Mr. Everything toMr. Nothing? How do yougo from being in the NFLto basically in a jail cell?”

Clarett played one sea-son with the Buckeyes,leading them to the 2002BCS National Champion-ship over Miami in the2003 Fiesta Bowl. But hiscareer never got back ontrack after his standoutseason due to a number ofoff-field issues.

Clarett, 31, said the ad-vice he received after

spending nearly fouryears in jail for aggravat-ed robbery and carrying aconcealed weapon in-spired him to get his lifeback on track. Now, in ad-dition to his public speak-ing duties, he works withpackaging and transpor-tation businesses, accord-ing to ESPN.com.

“Bottom line: let mejust break it (down) fory’all: Only 2 percent going(to the NFL),” Clarett toldthe Seminoles. “Most ofy’all dudes dude going tobe regular dudes in soci-ety. Y’all know that? Ev-erybody thinks they’regoing to make it. It’s coolif you do make it, but do

you know there’s nothingwith not making it? ...

“Ain’t nothing wrongwith getting an education.If you made it from yourneighborhood, you madeit on campus, and all youdid was basically play tothe end at Florida Stateand you got a real educa-tion — not no (expletive)classes — that’s cool.”

Clarett is one of 12speakers meeting withthe FSU football team inthe month of August inlight of off-field incidentsinvolving star runningback Dalvin Cook and for-mer quarterbackDe’Andre Johnson thissummer.

“That was one of themost bona fide, true, legittalks I’ve been around incollege football in 28years, trying to reachthese young men aboutmaking the right choicesin life,” FSU coach JimboFisher told ESPN. “Hav-ing it all going to the bot-tom, that gives him a lot ofcredibility, unfortunately.

“But sometimes, theseguys have to see that.”

FLORIDA STATE ATHLETICSFlorida State coach Jimbo Fisher, left, speaks with former OhioState running back Maurice Clarett on Wednesday night.

“To be honest, for thelast eight or 10 yearsthere’s been a target onour back. We’ve been apretty good program fora lot of years and nowwe’ve got that one addedaccolade that goes alongwith it, being the nation-al champions.”

Florida State is theNo. 1 team in the Nation-al Soccer Coaches Asso-ciation of America’s pre-season poll, and was re-cently picked to repeatas the ACC’s champion.

“I think we’re in areally good spot,” Kri-korian said.

“The mindset and thelevel of commitment toexcellence was estab-lished back in Januaryafter the championshipwas over and we went onthe celebration tour. Ithink we all thoroughlyenjoyed that but we allunderstood this seasonwould be coming atsome point and hardwork would be neces-sary.”

A talented group ofseniors — including Ja-mia Fields (four postsea-son goals last season),Dagny Brynjarsdottir(MAC Hermann Trophyfinalist) and KristinGrubka (first-team All-American) — are gonefrom the team this year,but Krikorian was ableto reload with eightfreshman.

Krikorian said he’ll

also be able to rely on hisreturning players.

“I knew we had greatdepth and great qualityin our returning play-ers,” Krikorian said.

“That’s not to say wedidn’t lose some greatplayers in the seniorclass, because we did.But we have a lot of kidswho are back that areexperienced players.We have some new kidsthat I think are going tocontribute right away.”

Senior mid-fielderCarson Pickett saidroles on the team are alittle different withoutsome of last year’s sen-iors.

“There’s a ton offreshman we have com-ing in and they’re very,very good,” she said.

“Being a junior lastyear, obviously I was in aleadership role, but it’s awhole other level whenyou’re a senior. It’s awhole other level whenyou step on the fieldknowing it’s your last go-round. I think it’s verydifferent when every-one is moving up on thescale and people are tak-ing on different leader-ship roles.”

Pickett and Williamssaid the first gameagainst New Mexico willserve as a good earlymeasuring stick for theteam.

“The first game isprobably going to be alittle helter-skelter be-cause we’re all going tobe so excited to competewith one another,” Pick-ett said.

Florida State Univer-sity Director of Athlet-ics Stan Wilcox an-nounced Thursday thecontract extension ofwomen’s basketballhead coach Sue Semrauthrough the 2019-2020season.

“Sue’s 18 seasons ofsustained success atFlorida State place herin an exclusive groupnationally among herpeers,” Wilcox said.“Our student-athletesand the Tallahasseecommunity have beenthe direct beneficiary ofher long-standing com-mitment to excellence.”

What started as anenormous task in re-building and resurrec-ting FSU’s Women’sHoops program in 1997has turned out to be agreat success for Sem-rau. The winningesthead coach in programhistory has recorded348 victories that in-clude two NCAA EliteEight appearances(2010, 2015), threeNCAA Sweet 16 appear-ances (2007, 2010, 2015)and 11 NCAA Tourna-ment appearances.

“It is an honor to con-tinue as the head wom-en’s basketball coach atFlorida State Universityfor the foreseeable fu-ture,” Semrau said.“FSU has a culture ofexcellence, both aca-demically and athleti-cally, that I am proud tobe a part of. Thank youto President Thrasherand our Director of Ath-letics Stan Wilcox forhaving faith in me andallowing my time at thisgreat university to con-tinue into the next dec-ade.”

Semrau is coming off

of a record breaking2014-2015 season. Shewas recognized for herhard work and that ofher team when she wasnamed National Coachof the Year by three dif-ferent organizations(Associated Press,Women’s BasketballCoaches Associationand ESPNW). The Semi-noles, comprised inlarge part of playerswith one or less years ofexperience in a FloridaState uniform, set pro-gram records for totalwins in a season (32),ACC wins (14), wins ver-sus Top 25 opponents (6)and regular-season vic-tories (27). FSU went un-defeated at home in theDonald L. Tucker Center(16-0), appeared in theACC Tournament Cham-pionship Finals andreached the NCAA EliteEight.

Throughout her ten-ure at FSU, Semrau andher teams have com-piled an impressive listof accolades andachievements. A Seat-tle, Wash., native, Sem-rau has coached 22 All-ACC players and has to-taled 40 All-ACC selec-tions. Fifteen of herplayers have signed pro-fessional contracts toplay basketball in theWNBA and overseas.

“Coach Semrau hasdone an outstanding jobof coaching her playersboth on and off thecourt,” said FSU Presi-dent John Thrasher."Her focus on academicsuccess and teachingher teams to be leaderson campus and in thelarger community bycontributing their timeand effort to help othersreflects so well on herprogram and the entireuniversity.”

Who calls the shots?

Cokely hopes to make adecision at some point onwho his quarterback willbe, but neither of the twohe alternated betweenjumped out.

Would-be starter EricAnderson and last year'ssophomore backup toD'Anfernee McGriff wason crutches and is out forthe season.

North Florida Chris-tian junior transfer TyGlasco and sophomoreJohn Carey combined fora 1 of 6 passing night forjust one yard in replace-ment.

"It wasn't them tonight,it was us on the sidelineand not getting in syncwith our substitution pat-tern and my play-calling,"Cokely said. "It wasn't thequarterbacks, but it's partof the connection we needto have. We don't have con-tinuity yet, and they dothings different than Ericdid.

"Both these guys havenever played for me, butthey don't play defenseand we need to tackle bet-ter."

Replacement player

With Franks sidelined,junior Derek Allen startedat quarterback and ranWakulla's veer option of-fense.

He busted runs of 10and 42 yards, and the ef-fectiveness of the War Ea-gles' ground attack loos-ened Leon's secondary.

Allen completed justone pass, but the play-ac-

tion throw went for 33yards to Kelton Donald-son.

"I had to make the bestof it," Allen said. "Everygame I start I'm going tobe nervous at first. Firstdrive, I was real nervous,but we drove the ball downthe field and scored."

Star of the Game

Wakulla’s Antonio Mor-ris.

The senior runningback waited patientlywhile others got the firstseveral handoffs of thegame, but when hetouched the ball he made itcount.

Morris rushed for 76yards on just seven car-ries and scored two touch-downs. His second touch-

down was a 45-yard scam-per up the middle with afew jukes thrown in forgood measure.

He even got in a power-ful seal block to create out-side leverage and allowrunning back DemarcusLindsey to reach the edgefor an 11-yard gain to theone-yard line.

"I saw the hole thewhole time, cut in and gotthe score," Morris. "This isnice. My senior year, I hadto do it. There's going to bemore like that."

Special teams weapon

Leon kicker Jack Drig-gers scored the game'sfirst points, nailing a 28-yard field goal in the firstquarter, but was just wideon a 48-yard attempt in the

fourth quarter.Driggers was hitting

from 55 yards in war-mups. The school record is54.

"I've definitely im-proved over the offseason,been to a lot of camps andgotten exposure," saidDriggers, who was 32 of 34on extra points last yearyet kicked and made bothfield goals attempted.

"That last one I didn'tfollow through all the way,but we'll get it straight-ened out."

ORLANDO — Everypreseason it’s the sameritual.

UCF coach GeorgeO’Leary sits down at hisdesk, takes out a piece ofpaper, looks down histeam’s schedule andwrites down a predictionfor the upcoming year.

“I was one off lastyear,” O’Leary said of histeam’s 9-4 finish a yearago to claim their secondstraight American Ath-letic Conference title. Hesaid the Connecticutgame threw him off.

How’d he do the yearbefore that, when theKnights won a school-record 12 games and theFiesta Bowl?

“I was on the money,”O’Leary said. “I’ll do itagain right around thatweekend before school(begins). I’ll put a num-ber in the drawer and mysecretary sees me. I sealit. I don’t change it.

Entering his 12th sea-son in Orlando, O’Learyhas clearly come a longway from his 0-11 firstseason in 2004. With a15-1 mark in their firsttwo seasons in the AAC,the Knights enter 2015again as one of the leaguefavorites.

They will be down 14starters from a year ago,which includes the lossof their entire secondaryand top four receivers.But in a new era that pro-vides even less marginfor error for non-Power 5conference teams, O’Le-

ary said his charge re-mains the same.

“My job is to win foot-ball games, I make nobones about that,” O’Le-ary said.

The Knights will bebreaking in two new co-ordinators this season.

One is longtime assis-tant Brent Key, who as-sumes the offensive playcalling duties followingthe retirement of CharlieTaaffe. Key has been atthe past 11 years, andmost recently been incharge of the offensiveline.

Taking over the de-fense is Chuck Bresna-han, who comes overfrom rival South Florida.Bresnahan coachedalongside O’Leary in thelate 1980s at GeorgiaTech.

But how far theKnights go this seasonwill depend largely onhow comfortable juniorquarterback Justin Hol-

man feels in his secondyear under center.

O’Leary likes whathe’s seen early on. Hesaid “I can’t call him No-lan Ryan anymore,” anod to how he used to de-scribe Holman’s imma-ture, fire ball-style arm.

Holman said he’s putin the work to improvethis offseason, splittinghis offseason into twoparts. The first half fo-cused on the mentalpreparation and the sec-ond getting comfortableon the field with severalnew faces that will be ex-pected to contribute thisseason.

“I feel great aroundmy teammates. I love be-ing around these guys,”Holman said. “I spendmost of my time withthem; I don’t really doanything outside of that.When you step in thelocker room everybody’scoming to work withtheir hard hat.”

GREENSBORO, N.C. —Tiger Woods kept sayinghis game was getting bet-ter, even though his re-sults didn’t show it.

On his first day at theWyndham Champion-ship, his score finallydid.

Woods had his bestround in more than twoyears Thursday, shoot-ing a 6-under 64.

Two-time heart trans-plant recipient ErikCompton, WilliamMcGirt and Tom Hogeshared the first-roundlead at 62.

Morgan Hoffman,Jim Herman and DerekErnst followed at 63, andMartin Kaymer, DavisLove III and Carl Pet-tersson joined Woods at64.

It was Woods’ lowestscore on the PGA Toursince a 61 in the secondround of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitationalin 2013.

He and the others tookadvantage of a low-scor-ing day at what he calleda “tricky” Donald Ross-designed course at Sed-gefield Country Clubthat gave up bunches ofbirdies after morningshowers softened thefairways and greens.

“When it’s like this,”Woods said, “you’ve got

to throw darts and golow.”

And while Comptonand McGirt threatenedthe tournament record,the clear story of the daywas Woods.

That low scorecouldn’t have come at abetter time for the big-gest name in the sport.

He set the tone by hol-ing a 54-foot chip shot onhis first hole, the par-410th, for the first of hisseven birdies. “Finally,”he said, “I got somethingout of my round.”

Woods arrived insist-ing he was playing betterthan his recent resultsmight indicate.

He had missed the cutin three straight majorsand had not finished bet-ter than a tie for 17th atthe Masters. He’s at No.187 on the FedEx Cup

points list and probablyneeds a win to move intothe top 125 and earn aplayoff spot.

Yet he said after lastweek’s early exit fromthe PGA Championshipthat those results beliedthe improvement he wasmaking in his game.

“I know it’s crazy tosay, but I wasn’t playingthat poorly at PGA,”Woods said. “Any border-line shot (at WhistlingStraits) I never got awaywith it, and that’s the wayit goes. I felt like I washitting the ball goodenough and just kept pro-gressing, and today wasjust a continuation of it.”

LPGA Tour

COQUITLAM, British Co-lumbia — Karine Icherhad six birdies in a sev-en-hole stretch and shot a7-under 65 to take thefirst-round lead in theCanadian Pacific Wom-en’s Open.

The 36-year-oldFrenchwoman, winlessin 253 career LPGA Tourstarts, birdied Nos. 2, 5-6and 8-11 at VancouverGolf Club, then closedwith seven pars.

Two-time championLydia Ko was second af-ter a 67.

Stacy Lewis, I.K. Kim,Danah Bordner and Per-nilla Lindberg shot 68.

CLEVELAND — JohnnyManziel threw a touch-down pass and maybeclosed the gap on Brownspresumed starting quar-terback Josh McCown inCleveland’s 11-10 loss tothe Buffalo Bills onThursday night.

Buffalo’s EJ Manuel,attempting to beat outMatt Cassel and TyrodTaylor for the startingjob, threw a 14-yard TDpass to Andre Davis with1:31 left. He then con-nected with rookie Bron-son Hill for the 2-pointconversion to complete alate rally by the Bills(1-1).

Manziel had one lastchance, but he couldn’tpull off any magic as theBrowns (0-2) dropped

their second straight ex-hibition at home.

Manziel connectedwith rookie Shane Wynnon a 21-yard TD pass inthe fourth quarter.

RG3 leaves with inju-ry: With zero help fromhis offensive line, RobertGriffin III repeatedlywound up on the turf un-til leaving with a stingerand possible head injuryafter being sacked threetimes and fumblingtwice Thursday night inthe Washington Red-skins’ 21-17 exhibitionvictory over the DetroitLions.

Griffin went 2 for 5for 8 yards on four pos-sessions for Washington(2-0). On his final play,early in the second quar-ter, he started to scram-ble but dropped the ball

despite no contact. As thequarterback went to theground to try to corralthe loose ball, Lions de-fensive end Corey Woot-ton landed on Griffin.

For Detroit (1-1), Mat-thew Stafford lookedgood, going 6 of 8 for 78yards and leading onescoring drive that endedwith Matt Prater’s 49-yard field goal.

When Griffin got hurt,he stayed down on thefield for about 5 minutesand was tended to bytrainers, while someteammates kneeled near-by. When Griffin eventu-ally rose, he slowlystepped to the sideline,then kept going until heleft the field and enteredthe tunnel that leads tothe Redskins’ lockerroom.

Joe Gibbs Racing has been get-ting a ton of publicity lately, andrightfully so. The team’s Toyotashave won six of the last eightraces and nine overall this season,far more than any other team.

It’s certainly fair to say JGR’scars will be championship con-tenders this fall.

But championship favorites?Let’s pump the brakes for a sec-ond. There’s only one driver whodeserves that label, and he drivesa Chevrolet.

Kevin Harvick and his No. 4Stewart-Haas Racing team arehaving a better season than theywere last year, when Harvick won

his first Sprint Cup championshipafter seeming to have the fastestcar every week.

But heading into the final threeraces of the regular season begin-ning Saturday night at BristolMotor Speedway, Harvick hasseemed a bit overlooked at times.That’s probably because he’s wononly two races — and none in thelast five months.

Look closer at the results fromthis season, though, and it be-comes clear the defending champis easily the favorite to repeat.

“It’s taken four of them (atJGR) to do what he’s doing,” SHRco-owner Tony Stewart saidTuesday. “He’s just consistent ev-ery week.”

Harvick has nine second-placefinishes this season, including lastweekend at Michigan Interna-tional Speedway. If he had con-verted even one-third of thoseinto victories, he’d have morewins than anyone else in theseries.

“If you look at how many sec-ond-place finishes Kevin has had,that can be as valuable as thewins are (in the Chase for the

Sprint Cup),” Stewart said.Next, look at Harvick’s overall

results. He already has two moretop-five finishes (16) than he hadall last season and has tied his2014 total with 20 top-10s. Andthis with 13 races still to go.

He has a legitimate shot tobreak Jeff Gordon’s 2007 recordfor the most top-10 finishes inNASCAR’s modern era (30).

Want more? Last year, Harvickhad a 12.9 average finish en routeto the title. This year, he’s averag-ing a finish of 7.8 — more thanfive spots better.

Then there are laps led — asign of strength even if a driverdoesn’t end up in victory lane.Surely, Harvick isn’t going to topthe whopping 2,137 laps he ledlast season, right?

Well, he’s on pace. Harvick hasled 1,406 laps this season; at thispoint in 2014, he had led 899.

NASCAR’s loop data also showhe is having a year to remember.His driver rating is 120.2, whichwould beat Jimmie Johnson’srecord of 112.2 from 2009.

You get the point: By every ma-jor statistic, Harvick is exceeding

his impressive performance fromlast year’s championship run —and not just by a little.

So does it bother Harvick thathe’s been a bit under the radardespite running so well? When areporter asked that question afew weeks ago at Pocono Race-way, Harvick immediately said hedidn’t pay attention to what any-one was saying about his team.

But then he added somethingthat might sound frightening forthe competition.

“I feel like we’ll be even betterwhen the Chase starts and all thepieces are where they need to be,”he said. “As you look at the cir-cumstances and the way thatthings shake out, you can’t forcewinning. But if you run up in thefront all the time, you’re going towin your share.”

That’s the scary part for every-one outside the No. 4 team. Justlike last year, Harvick’s biggestvictories might be yet to come.

“I feel like we’ll be even better when the Chase starts and all the pieces are where they need to be,” says Kevin Harvick, who hasnine runner-up finishes to go along with his two wins this season.

KELLEY L. COX, USA TODAY SPORTS

GLENDALE, ARIZ. Hours beforeJen Welter stepped onto the side-line as an assistant coach in anNFL game, her mind was not juston the history she was about tomake. It was on her players.

As she sat in her room at a ho-tel near University of PhoenixStadium, Welter wrote personalnotes to each of the Arizona Car-dinals linebackers she had spentseveral weeks coaching and onefor her mentor, inside linebackerscoach Larry Foote. When she ar-rived at the stadium for the pre-season opener against the KansasCity Chiefs, she left the notes forthe players, not realizing thatdoesn’t typically happen in acoach-player relationship, espe-cially in the NFL.

Third-year linebacker KevinMinter read a message that re-minded him of things he andWelter had discussed privatelyover the previous two weeks,about his personal goals and ca-

reer aspirations, about becomingnot just a full-time starter butalso a team leader. “It was aboutbeing that guy I always wanted tobe,” Minter said.

“This is such a tough business,and a lot of our guys are reallyyoung,” Welter said. “It’s so spe-cial. Every moment that you’re inthe NFL is a blessing, and I justwanted them to know how im-portant they each are.”

Welter, 37, is midway throughher stint as the NFL’s first femaleassistant coach. Hired in July bycoach Bruce Arians as a presea-son intern to help coach insidelinebackers, Welter has spent thelast three weeks fully immersedin the job. She’s up early for thefirst of many position meetingsand film sessions, on the field fora morning walk-through practice,back inside for more meetings be-fore a two-hour practice in the af-ternoon. Then come moremeetings to review practice filmand prepare for the next day.

Time and personal interactionis what it took to convince theplayers that she is serious aboutcoaching.

“It was so much about having arelationship, person to person,because when they know youcare about them, they will do ev-erything you want them to do,”Welter said.

Welter earned credibility withthe way she would reinforce theideas Foote was implementingand how she pointed out flaws inplayers’ techniques, and she im-pressed players with the speedwith which she would demon-strate position drills.

“Going in, I had a really openmind about the whole thing, be-

cause I knew that Coach Arianswouldn’t just bring someone injust to bring them in. She met myexpectations that she’d be goodand be helpful to the team,” in-side linebacker Glenn Carsonsaid.

Welter’s internship will be overat the end of the preseason, atwhich point she’ll figure out hernext career move.

“I am not sure what’s next. ...I’ve had such a great experiencewith these guys. I love it. I coulddo this for a long time,” Weltersaid.

It’s a common ritual for a bat-ter to step out of the box and lookfor signs, but young PittsburghPirates right fielder Gregory Po-lanco is just as apt to be lookinginto the dugout as at his third-base coach. That’s because he of-ten finds in-bat counsel fromcatcher Francisco Cervelli.

“Between pitches, always. If heis not on base, he’s in the dugoutwatching,” Polanco said. “He’s al-ways supporting me: ‘Stay short,don’t take your eye off the ball.’ ”

Cervelli deflects his team-mate’s gratitude toward the en-couraging and collaborativeexample set by manager ClintHurdle and the aid his olderteammates showed when he ar-rived in the big leagues with theNew York Yankees. This type ofmentoring is a less obvious con-tribution than Cervelli’s more vis-ible role as a stellar defender andon-base machine.

The Pirates’ offseason trade ofreliever Justin Wilson for Cervelliand their bargain signing of left-side infielder and former KoreanBaseball Organization MVP JungHo Kang for four seasons at onlya $16 million commitment rankas some of the savviest, yet leastheralded, offseason transactions.

Cervelli and Kang rank behindonly Andrew McCutchen on thePirates’ leaderboard for on-basepercentage and on-base-plus-slugging percentage (OPS) in ad-dition to their above-average de-fense, helping the club to themajors’ third-best record.

Thursday, they began a keyfour-game series at PNC Parkagainst the San Francisco Giants,a rematch of the 2014 wild-cardgame that launched San Francis-co’s World Series championshiprun. The Pirates entered Thurs-day with a seven-game cushionfor a National League wild-cardspot, with hopes of adding to it bywinning this weekend’s series;three of the four games will benationally televised, includingSunday night’s on ESPN.

A QUICK TRANSITIONKang (pronounced Ghang)crossed Pittsburgh’s radar a fewyears ago and, as rumblings of his

interest in joining the majors in-tensified, so too did the Pirates’interest. General manager NealHuntington said several scoutstook looks. The organizationwatched a ton of video, and clubanalysts constructed a statisticalmodel to project how Kang’sKBO performance might trans-late to Major League Baseball.

The Pirates could assume hewouldn’t bat .356 with 40 homeruns, as he did in 2014 for theNexen Heroes, just as he likelywouldn’t win a Gold Glove atshortstop. But they knew hewould contribute.

“We said from the outset thatwe believe he’s a regular player atthe big-league level,” Huntingtonsaid. “We just weren’t sure where,and we weren’t sure when.”

His agency, Octagon Baseball,is a leader in the representationof international players. Its man-aging director, Alan Nero, said themajority of foreign-born playerswho fail do so because of thetransition, not the talent.

To help, Octagon’s Jae Hanspent seven weeks with Kang atthe beginning of the season, andNero was complimentary of theefforts made by Huntington andhis staff, which included learninga few Korean words and customs,as well as not immediately thrust-ing him into the everyday lineup.According to Cot’s Contracts,Kang’s agreement with the Pi-

rates includes up to $50,000 forround-trip business-class flightsto South Korea, as well as his owninterpreter and English-languageinstruction.

“I think the thing we’re mostpleased with is how quickly he’smade the cultural transition,”Huntington said. “I don’t thinkthat gets nearly enough creditwhen someone moves cultures. ...

“We knew he was intelligent.We knew he loved to play thegame. And we knew he loved tocompete. But he has exceededour expectations in terms of howeasily he’s made the transitionfrom Korean culture to Americanculture, from Korean baseball toAmerican baseball (and) thespeed of the game.”

Kang has started near-equalamounts at third base and short-stop, and his bat has come alive inthe second half. Before the All-Star break, he batted .268 withfour home runs in 72 games; en-tering Thursday, he was batting.318 since the break with six hom-ers in 29 games with an OPS thatwas more than 200 points higher.

His play and production atshortstop since Jordy Mercer suf-fered a knee injury July 19 solidi-fied what could have been atrouble spot for the Pirates.

“Seeing a lot of pitchers, play-ing a lot of games — it all helpedme to be more comfortable at bat,to be more confident at bat,”

Kang said through his inter-preter.

He is the first hitter to makethe move directly from Korea’stop league, though his former He-roes teammate, first baseman By-ung Ho Park, who has averaged 41homers the last four seasons, isexpected to follow suit nextwinter.

“I’m not trying to think aboutmyself as a pioneer, the first timecoming out of the KBO as a posi-tion player,” Kang said. “It’s toofar out there. I’m just thinkingabout day by day, pitch by pitch.”

‘KEEP MOVING FORWARD’After free agent catcher RussellMartin left to join the TorontoBlue Jays over the winter, the Pi-rates targeted Cervelli, who hadplayed 250 games in seven sea-sons with the Yankees. In thatlimited, injury-plagued tenure inthe Bronx, he demonstrated anability to get on base and be an ef-fective backstop.

“We pursued him aggressivelybecause of the defense and be-cause we knew it was going to beawfully difficult to replace the en-tire package of Russ that wasleaving,” Huntington said.

Cervelli’s one opportunity tobe a full-time starter in 2013 wasquickly derailed. He was sidelinedin late April after suffering a bro-ken finger that required surgeryand then received a 50-game sus-

pension for his association withthe Biogenesis clinic.

“That year was really toughwith the injury, but I never giveup on my dreams and my goals,”he said.

“I always wanted to be in thisposition and catch every day,come to the field knowing thatI’m going to play. You cannot giveup on yourself. You have to keepmoving forward no matter whathappens.”

He returned to the Yankees in2014 and had a .301/.370/.432(batting average/on-base per-centage/slugging percentage) linein 162 plate appearances; enter-ing Thursday, he had a .307/.375/.429 line in 362 plate appear-ances, indicating that his offensewas no small-sample fluke.

For the Pirates, he stated a goalof catching at least 120 games andprepared accordingly with extra— but efficient — weight lifting,particularly for his legs. He haslogged the majors’ eighth mostinnings at catcher this season.

Cervelli also spent more timeworking on his pitch framingwith catching instructor GaryTuck, who is also the Yankeesbullpen coach. As a result of thatwork, Cervelli ranks first amongall catchers in framing accordingto website StatCorner; he rankseighth according to BaseballProspectus.

“He put me in new drills tomake me calm down behind theplate. That’s the only way that Ican frame,” Cervelli said. “Themost important thing is workingwith my energy. I’ve got too muchenergy, so I’ve got to calm downand have the balance.”

That energy emerges in playfulmoments with teammates, espe-cially Kang. The close proximityof their uniform numbers — 27for Kang, 29 for Cervelli — meanstheir lockers are often adjacenton the road. (They are even closerin age: 28 for Kang, 29 for Cervel-li.) Upon arriving at the park lastFriday, Cervelli greeted Kangwith a kiss on the top of his head.

“Since the first day, he cameover playing his game,” Cervellisaid of Kang. “He never was shy.Now he knows more English, sohe’s able to speak more, but it’sgreat, man. He’s a great playerand a great person.”

They are an unlikely pair withunexpected achievements as thePirates hope to make an uninter-rupted march into and throughOctober.

CHARLES LECLAIRE, USA TODAY SPORTS

Francisco Cervelli, left, and Jung Ho Kang took much different routes to the Pirates, but bothhave made major impacts as Pittsburgh’s seeks its third consecutive playoff berth.

David Letterman wants to be-lieve. But he’s reticent. He’s neverbeen this close before, and he canalmost anticipate the weight ofthe IndyCar championship tro-phy in his hands. It would feelwonderfully heavy after two dec-ades of waiting.

But the recently retired late-night talk show host and televi-sion icon has been around thisemotionally wrenching sport longenough — as a fan growing up inIndiana and as a co-owner of ateam since 1996 that has evolvedinto Rahal Letterman LaniganRacing — to understand thathope cannot be fully indulged un-til a trophy is being cradled.

That was a lesson learned inhis greatest motor sports accom-plishment so far, when his teamwon the Indianapolis 500 in2004 with Buddy Rice. And it’s alesson he will continue to applydespite temptation as he watchesGraham Rahal attempt to over-come a nine-point deficit to lead-er Juan Pablo Montoya with tworaces remaining.

After spending 19 years as apartner with co-owner Bobby Ra-hal and watching Rahal’s son,Graham, grow from boyhood,Letterman knows there’s more tothe story than a trophy. A fatherhimself to Harry, 11, who also hashad his heart broken by racing,Letterman wants this on manylevels. But he keeps harking backto advice delivered from a formerteam executive in the waning lapsof the 2004 Indianapolis 500 asRice circled to what seemed like— and eventually was — an inev-itable victory under caution.

“It’s kind of a razor’s edge, be-cause you want it to come true sodesperately,” Letterman told USATODAY Sports, “but the lesson Ilearned from the late ScottRoembke is: It’s racing, and youcan’t even pretend that it’s goingto come true until they drop thecheckered flag.”

In an exclusive interview withUSA TODAY Sports, Lettermanspoke about his lifetime in racing.

Q: How does it feel gettingthis close to the potential firstIndyCar championship?

A: I have to choose my wordscarefully, because over the yearsthis has not been on the horizon,I don’t believe. I don’t think we’veeven been close to the horizonwith something like this, and Ithink the last driver to win (anopen-wheel championship) forBobby’s racing team — in fact, a

championship, is Bobby (in CARTin 1992) — and then the other daysomeone said to me when Gra-ham won at Fontana, it had beenover 120 some races between thatwin and the win in St. Pete (in2008), which I just found to be ajaw-dropping statistic. So this isdelightfully new to me, and, youknow, there’s always a chance itcouldn’t happen, because racingis life and anything can happen ineither.

But to now all of a sudden benine points away from this com-ing to pass, it does provide youwith a little giddiness. But I amreminded when we won the 500and it was a rain-shortened racethat finished under a yellow and awhite, I think, because it wasraining and there was one lap togo and I looked at Scott Roembke,who was on the timing benchthere, and I sort of smiled at him

and he looked at me and hefrowned. He waved it off. We hadone lap to go under yellow and hestill wasn’t willing to concede thatthis was in the stars. So that was alesson for me that day eventhough we did go on, Buddy Ricewent on to win. So it’s new terri-tory. I’m being cautious because Ihave learned that about racing,but you can’t help but think thekid’s gonna win. … Was that a lit-tle long-winded?

Q: That’s perfect. Long-winded is awesome. We lovelong-winded. The longer thewind the better the answer. Iam all on board with that.

A: All right.

Q: How do you think thiswould compare to winningthe Indianapolis 500?

A: To me, the idea of winningthe championship ... I’ve wonsome awards and have been verylucky in my life, because of myteam, to have won some awardsand then now in my racing life tohave won the Indianapolis 500.And the IndyCar championship,that’s pretty good. I don’t knowwhat else there would be that youwould even care about. So, what agift. These guys all flatter me be-cause I have nothing to do with it.So Graham gets to be the champi-on. He deserves it. The team de-serves it, but I also, my name willbe somewhere in the paper.(Laughs.)

It’s fantastic. It’s great. Whatdid I really do here? Well, I didn’treally have to leave the housemuch.

Q: What is your daily levelof involvement with theteam? Call asking about howthe car is running?

A: I’m fascinated by that sort ofthing and when I go to races, ithas changed so much since I firstbecame interested that I now nolonger understand exactly what’sgoing on, other than the balanceof the car, aerodynamically, thedownforce and the power plant.Everything else ... I mean if youtake a look at the aerodynamicpackages on these cars sincethey’ve added the rear cowling,you’d have to get an HVAC guyhere to fine-tune them. I don’tknow what’s going on. But it still,it’s interesting.

Graham is driving in a differentway this year that I think (it) isnoticeable even to casual racefans. I’ve not seen him driving theway he is now.

And it’s confidence. ... I kepttrying to think, where did thisconfidence come from? Becausehe didn’t have it a year ago, andwhat is significantly differentabout the team this year from lastyear? And I don’t know. Did hebring the confidence to the team?I suspect that something internalin the team gave him the confi-dence and then he rewarded theirconfidence with his own.

He also seems like he’s in tre-mendous physical condition, andthen people invoke the fact that,“Well, he’s also getting married.”

Q: Will you be there to revelin person?

A: We’re trying to do one or theother. Sonoma (Raceway on Aug.30) would include the — and Ican’t even say this — would in-clude the victory banquet thenext night, but that’s somethingScott Roembke would say to me,“No, no, no. We’re not even mak-ing plans. Don’t bring your tux-edo, dumbass.” So I can’t eventalk like that.

2E » FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2015 » TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT » CLASSIFIED AUTOS

PALO ALTO, Calif. — The office has allthe trappings of a high-tech startup.There’s a giant beanbag in the foyer anderasable, white board walls for brain-storming. Someone’s pet dog loungeshappily on the sunny balcony.

Welcome to the Palo Alto home of theFord Motor Co., six miles from the head-quarters of Google.

Meanwhile, in a squat, industrialbuilding in suburban Detroit, a shortdrive from Ford’s headquarters, work-ers are busy building a small fleet ofdriverless cars.

The company behind them? Google.The convergence of cars and comput-

ers is blurring the traditional geograph-ical boundaries of both industries. Sili-con Valley is dotted with research labsopened by automakers and supplierswho are racing to develop high-tech in-fotainment systems and autonomouscars. Tech companies — looking to growand sensing an industry that’s ripe fordisruption — are heading to Detroit tobetter understand the auto industry andget their software embedded into cars.

The result is both heated competitionand unprecedented cooperation be-tween two industries that rarely spoketo each other five years ago.

“It’s a cross-pollination. We’re edu-cating both sides,” says Niall Berkerey,who runs the Detroit office of Telenav, aSunnyvale, California-based firm thatmakes navigation software.

Data driven

For years the fast-paced tech indus-try showed little respect for the plod-ding car industry. Google and Palo Alto-based Tesla, with its high-tech electricsedans, convinced many to give the in-dustry another look. The average carnow processes more than 4,200 signals— from the engine and transmission tothe backup camera to the radio — using40 electronic control units, according toBoston Consulting Group. Those unitscan contain up to 100 million lines ofcomputer code, more than in a fighterjet. The average number of control unitshas climbed from 30 in 2007; some luxu-ry cars have as many as 100.

“People think it’s shiny Silicon Valleyversus grungy Detroit, but that’s gar-bage,” says Chris Urmson, who leadsGoogle’s self-driving car program. “If

you look at the complexity of a vehicle,it’s an engineering marvel.”

Dragos Maciuca, a former Apple en-gineer who’s now the technical directorof Ford’s Palo Alto research lab, sayshe’s seeing a new excitement about theauto industry in Silicon Valley. For onething, cars provide a palpable sense ofaccomplishment for software engi-neers.

“If you work at Google or Yahoo, it’shard to point out, ‘Well, I wrote thatpiece of code.’ It’s really hard to be ex-cited about it or show your kids,” Maciu-ca he says. “In the auto industry, you cango, ‘See that button? The stuff that’s be-hind it, I worked on that.’ ”

Tough standards

But cocky tech companies have hadto adapt to the tough standards of the au-to industry, which requires technologyto work perfectly, for years, in all kindsof conditions. Maciuca spends much ofhis time educating software and app de-velopers about the industry’s needs.

“Silicon Valley goes toward this mod-el of a minimum viable product. It’s easyto throw things out there and try themand see if they work,” Maciuca says.“We can’t do that.”

Santa Clara, California-based Nvidiawas best known for making chips forcomputer games before it got into thecar business. Now, it makes the comput-er processors that power Tesla’s 17-inch

touchscreen dashboard and Audi’s ex-perimental self-driving cars, amongother products. It had to develop newmanufacturing techniques and higherlevels of certification for the auto busi-ness, such as tests to make sure its com-puter chips would still work in subzerotemperatures, says Danny Shapiro, Nvi-dia’s senior director of automotive.

For their part, the automakers arelearning that rolling out cars that re-main static for years until the next mod-el comes out is no longer practical. Atthe insistence of tech companies such asTelenav and Nvidia, they’re learning tomake cars with navigation, infotain-ment and other features that can be con-stantly updated. Mercedes-Benz, Tesla,Toyota, BMW and others can now up-date vehicle software wirelessly to fixproblems or add more capability

Shapiro says the cost-conscious autoindustry has had to learn to spend a littlemore — maybe $10 to $20 per car — oncomputer hardware. Automakers wouldoften go with the cheapest option butthen spend even more fixing bugs, or beforced to replace processors that didn’thave enough power to add updates.

Nvidia now has eight permanent en-gineers at various automakers in Michi-gan.

“We’ve helped them adopt more of acomputer industry mindset, which is notto reinvent what they’re doing everyfive to seven years,” Shapiro says.

Japanese automaker Toyota willreveal the redesigned version of itsPrius hybrid in Las Vegas on Sept. 8.

Spokesman Scott Vazin confirmedthe plans but did not provide any oth-er details on the new styling or fueleconomy of the world’s most popularhybrid.

The vehicle’s arrival comes duringan abysmal stretch for hybrid vehi-cles, which are suffering in the wakeof the dramatic collapse in oil prices.Cheap gasoline is fueling a surge forpickup trucks, sport-utility vehiclesand crossovers.

Prius sales in the U.S. fell 15 per-cent during the first seven months of2015, compared to the same period ayear earlier.

Still, the Prius has accounted for82 percent of all industry hybridsales so far this year, according toKelley Blue Book. Toyota has sold108,073 units of the car in the U.S.That figure includes the Prius c, asmaller version of the hybrid, and thebigger Prius v.

The Prius lineup hasn’t gotten amajor overhaul in nearly sevenyears.

Industry observers will be watch-ing the Sept. 8 announcement closelyfor any clues on the car’s new fueleconomy figure. The baseline 2015Prius gets 50 miles per gallon in com-bined city and highway driving, ac-cording to the EPA.

That compares to average indus-try fuel economy of 25.4 miles pergallon in July, according to the Uni-versity of Michigan TransportationResearch Institute.

The likably awkwardchemistry of KristenStewart and Jesse Eisen-berg remains intact in“American Ultra,” a vio-lent stoner action-com-edy that’s half “PineappleExpress,” half “TheBourne Identity” and notas good as either.

Stewart and Eisen-berg, who starred togeth-er in the splendidly low-key summer comedy“Adventureland,” againcome together as an ap-pealing, mutually mop-headed tandem thatmatches Eisenberg’sstuttering unease withStewart’s deadpan cool.

They play a flannel-wearing West Virginiacouple, Mike and Phoebe,happy together despiteMike’s weed habit, per-petual apologizing and

panic attacks from justabout anything that up-sets his seemingly innateinertia. Looking at a carthat’s crashed into a tree,he wonders to Phoebe,placating and devoted, ifhe’s the tree and she’s thecar.

The small-town, low-stakes drama of “Amer-ican Ultra” is convincingin the beginning, thanksto the two stars. But it’s aset-up.

Unbeknownst to Mike,a convenience store

clerk, he’s an elite killingmachine trained by theCIA, a decommissionedgovernment experiment.Few in the movies wouldbe a more unlikely secretagent than Eisenberg.Did the program includeMichael Cera? WasWoody Allen in charge?

Switching to Langley,

the film, directed byNima Nourizadeh (“Pro-ject X”) and written byMax Landis (“Chron-icle”), fills in the backsto-ry. A petulant youngagent (Topher Grace) hasrisen in the ranks andnow wants to eliminateevidence of the experi-ment that gave Mike hissecret talents, overseen

by Connie Britton’s moresympathetic VictoriaLasseter.

To prevent her formerstudent’s death, shesneaks to the conve-nience store and acti-vates Mike with a fewcode words. When ahandful of thugs come tokill him, Mike is astound-ed to find himself ex-pertly stabbing one witha spoon. Afterward, hecowers behind a lamp-post, looking at thebloody wreckage: “Ihave, like, a lot of anxietyabout this,” he tells Phoe-be.

Much mayhem en-sues, surprisingly violentand cartoonish in itsextremes. The smalltown comes entirelyunder siege. “American

Ultra” is a stoner’s para-noia come to life. A tooth-less Walter Goggins joinsthe strong ensemble asthe nuttiest of the CIA’ssmall army, along withJohn Leguizamo as alocal drug dealer.

The assembled talentcould use more characterdevelopment and a littlemore wit in place of thesadistic, fun-drainingcomic-book action scenesthat increasingly co-optsthe comedy, which is toodependent on the eventu-ally tiresome joke ofEisenberg as action hero.

But “American Ultra”has its simple genrecharms, thanks signifi-cantly to its entertainingcast and leading pair.Stewart, in particular,looks like she’s punchingbelow her weight class.As is often the case, sheis the best thing in themovie. And she and Ei-senberg remain lazylosers we can love, Bon-nie and Clyde for a morelaid-back generation.

EXCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENTSTARTS TODAY

Rupert Friend has aknack for creating soul-ful, empathetic charac-ters in such projects as“Mrs. Palfrey at theClaremont” and TV’s“Homeland.” Playing thetitle role in “Hitman:Agent 47,” he goes wayagainst type, starring asan emotionless killingmachine with barely anyhint of humanity. Now,I’m all for a performerstretching, but thisdoesn’t seem like it playsto the actor’s particularstrengths. What’s next?Jason Statham as Tevyein a “Fiddler on the Roof”revival?

“Hitman: Agent 47” isbased on a video game.That information tellsyou a lot about what toexpect. For example, plotand characterization areall secondary to the kickyaction sequences, inwhich Agent 47 relent-lessly and methodicallyeliminates anyone whogets in his way. All thebutt-kicking takes placein exotic locales, such asSingapore’s Gardens bythe Bay, so it’s like get-ting a tourism commer-cial and mindlessly vio-lent potboiler all at thesame time.

The plot is simulta-

neously overstuffed andlean. Agent 47 is a geneti-cally engineered humancreated by a scientistwho is now missing.Agent 47 is trackingdown Katia (HannahWare from TV’s “Boss”),a nervous, neurotic wom-an with amazing mathe-matical skills and trou-bling flashbacks. Thereis also a third member ofthe triangle, John Smith(Zachary Quinto), whoshows up to explain toKatia (and the audience)what all the shooting andslicing is about.

Newbie director Alek-sander Bach handles theproject with a competentprecision. The filmdoesn’t rise above thegenre and the plot ismuddled, but he pulls offthe basic elements with adistinctly chilly Euro-pean style. Things blowup, heads smash togetherand blood spatters, andit’s moderately entertain-ing and instantly forget-table. In that way, it’s alot like a video game.

On Monday morning,when the students offi-cially report back toclass at the city’s threecolleges, the summercomes to a crashing halt.Just ignore the autumnalequinox on Sept. 23, be-cause it’s a liar.

That also means it’stime to hurry up andselect a Song Of TheSummer 2015 before theschool bell rings.

Over the years, thisgreat honor has gone tosuch big hits as “WhyCan’t We Be Friends” byWar, “Every Breath YouTake” by The Police andthe blatantly obvious“Summer Girls” by LFO.

In this century, recentwinners were “PokerFace” by Lady Gaga in2009 and Carly Rae Jep-sen’s “Call Me Maybe” in2012. There was a tie in2013 between betweenDaft Punk’s irresistible“Get Lucky” and RobinThicke’s polka-funk“Blurred Lines,” eventhough both were liftedstraight from the late‘70s.

Last summer, duringthe Dog Days, I pickedJason Derulo and SnoopDogg’s derriere-ob-sessed, objectifying,blatantly sexist “Wiggle,”which was a Top 10 hit onthe Billboard charts andsold more than one mil-lion copies. Each copyprobably arrived with aminiature stripper’s poleattached.

This year, it’s kind oftricky. The most obviouscandidate is the Aussiepop-punk band 5 Secondsof Summer’s giddy sing-

along “She’s Kinda Hot.”It’s like having TheKnack back, or some-thing. Still, it’s too bla-tant.

Speaking of obviousplays, dubstep kingsSkrillex and Diploteamed up with someCanadian kid namedJustin Bieber to makemoody club song thatwas not hellbent on rat-tling your spleen outthrough your nostrils. It’snice to see them tryingsomething new, but it’sdefinitely not the Song OfThe Summer 2015.

Some this year’s run-ners-up include: “I KnowThere’s Gonna be (GoodTimes)” by Jamie xx, Ft.Young Thug and Pop-caan, “Bad Blood” by the

ubiquitous Taylor Swiftand “Blue Suede” byVince Staples (who is onthe cover of this issue ofLimelight and playing forfree at 8 p.m. Saturdayon the Florida State Uni-versity Union Green).

All worthy efforts, tobe sure, but I’m castingthe young kids aside toname Rickie Lee Jones’“Jimmy Choos” as theSong of the Summer2015.

Jones, 60, had not puta new album in 10 yearsuntil she crowd-fundedher fans to record “TheOther Side of Desire,”which she recorded inher adopted hometown ofNew Orleans. The single“Jimmy Choos” is thelilting opening cut from

the album and it’s sungfrom the point of view ofa friend trying to cheerup a depressed palnamed Pauline.

The lyrics go: “Butdon’t tarry in the streetPauline/ Because thecops down here they’recold and mean/ If theysee you up there on yourhot tin roof/ Throwingpop bottles at them/ Withyour gold-capped tooth.”

With vivid song lyricslike that it should comeas no surprise that Jonesused to hang around withTom Waits in Los Angelesbefore she shot to famein 1979 with her smash“Chuck E.’s in Love.” Bythe end of “JimmyChoos,” Jones turns theMalaysian footwear-

designer’s name into arepetitive scat-singingriff. It’s the most delight-fully eccentric productplacement ever record-ed.

By the way, the rest ofthe “Desire” album isjust as good. Highly rec-ommended, even if Skril-lex did not help mix it.

Slip on your JimmyChoos and let’s take awalk through the city’smusic scene over thenext few days. Here is aguided tour:

ALYSSE GAFKJENThe Revivalists make the road trip next week from New Orleans for a soulful show at The Side Bar Theatre on Thursday.

DEMOCRAT FILESSinger-songwriter Hal Shows is helping out with a benefit show on Saturday night at Krewe deGras.


Sure, the college stu-dents snarl the traffic,gobble up all the GutBoxes at Guthrie’s andcrowd the bars but,you’ve got to admit, themusic scene is a helluvalot better when the littlescamps flock back to thecity each fall.

With that in mind, wehere at Limelight decid-ed to take a look ahead atsome of the don’t-missshows coming to Talla-hassee during the latestfall semester. There’s alot going on, so let’s notwaste time:

1.) Vince Staples onSaturday on the FloridaState Union Green. Don’tlet Staples’ laid-back,Southern California-marinated delivery foolyou. Staples is a youngman (he’s only 22!) with alot on his mind. Whilemuch of today’s rapscene is filled with party-anthem piffle and narcis-sistic preening, Staplesexplores the grayerareas: “Fight between myconscience and the skinthat’s on my body, man / Ineed to fight the powerbut I need that new Fer-rari, man.” His debutalbum, “Summertime’06,” released earlier thissummer, garnered criti-cal raves and a trance-inducing, R-rated hitcalled “Blue Suede.”Catch Staples outdoorsunder the stars at 8 p.m.Saturday on the UnionGreen for the annualLast Call Before Fallconcert. It’s a free showbut no coolers are al-lowed.

2.) KRS-One on Sept. 6at The Side Bar Theatre.How many other rappers

can claim they have re-corded a tune with alt-rock gods R.E.M. (“RadioSong”) and were immor-talized in a ditty by Sub-lime? Plus, he’s still go-ing strong in the 21stcentury. In September,KRS-One will release anew album titled “NowHear This,” so expectplenty of fresh materialalong with such signa-ture songs as “I Can’tWake Up” and “BlackCop.” Tickets are $18 and$20. It’s an all-ages show.

3.) Walk The Moon onOct. 12 at, where else,The Moon. Who saysmusic videos are a thingof the past? The fan-made compilation videofeaturing famous movie-musical scenes playedout to Walk The Moon’sinfectious, U2-y hit “ShutUp and Dance” garneredmore than 6 millionviews on YouTube. Thevideo can’t help but bringa smile to your face. Thepower-pop band fromOhio took its name from

The Police song “Walkingon the Moon,” in case youwere wondering. Ticketsare $25 and Holychild isopening the proceedings.

4.) Renée Fleming andThe Tallahassee Sympho-ny Orchestra on Oct. 16in Ruby Diamond Con-cert Hall. Is there anopera star on Earth whois more beautiful andcaptivating than theAmerican superstarsoprano? Quick answer:no. Fleming is planning avisit to help the TSO

celebrate its 35th anni-versary by singing Pucci-ni, Strauss and a fewtunes from Broadway’s“King and I.” The singerhas close ties to Tallahas-see through opera com-poser Carlisle Floyd.When Floyd’s landmarkopera “Susannah” had itspremiere at the Met-ropolitan Opera House in1999, guess who starredin the title role? Ticketsto the TSO-Fleming showrange from $80 to $150.

5.) Edgar Meyer and

Christian McBride onOct. 24 in OppermanMusic Hall. With apol-ogies to Meghan Trainor,it really is all about thatbass when two of the bestbass-thumpers in thenation team up for thefirst time to do, well,whatever they damn wellplease. McBride is a bigname in the jazz worldwhile Meyer keeps hisdog-house fiddle busy inseveral musical worlds:classical, jazz and evenBela Fleck-ian bluegrass.

6.) New Orleans Sus-pects on Oct. 25 at TheBradfordville BluesClub.

7.) Soul Asylum andthe Meat Puppets on Oct.27 at The Moon. Redis-cover ’80s alt-rock whentwo of the era’s mostadmired bands headsouth in the fall. SoulAsylum, which hailsfrom Minneapolis,crossed over into themainstream in the early’90s with its smash hit“Runaway Train.” ThePuppets, which formedunder the mean sun inArizona in the early ’80s,was always a criticaldarling but it got a boostin pop cred when KurtCobain covered theband’s “Lake of Fire” inthe early ’90s. Tickets are$20 and $30.

8.) The Florida StateOpera presents Rossini’s“Cinderella” starting Oct.29 in Ruby DiamondConcert Hall. You’re incollege now. It’s time toexpand your musicalhorizons.

And the shows areaffordable on a student

budget. Tickets are only$10 for FSU students and$20 for the general pub-lic.

9.) The Growlers onNov. 1 at FSU Club Do-wunder. The Growlers isa band that plays some-thing known as “BeachGoth” music and livesnear the shore in SouthLos Angeles. The group’ssound is a melange ofsurf-music twangs, EnnioMorricone overtones,trippy waltzes, ghostlyvocals, reverb-heavyballads, rumbling rocka-billy raves, country shuf-fles and swampy blues. Ifthere is a roller-skatingrink in hell, The Growl-ers will be playing thereevery night during themidnight couples skate.It’s free for FSU studentswith valid ID and $20 forthe general public.

10.) Leftover Salmonon Nov. 7 for Goodwood

Jams. Even if you are notinto jam bands namedafter large fish, catchinga night-time concert onthe front lawn of theantebellum GoodwoodMuseum & Gardens isworth the visit. The Span-ish moss dangling fromthe massive oak treesmake one heckuva stageset when it’s glowing inshades of orange, red andblue. Tickets are $40 and$100 for the VIP treat-ment.

11.) JJ Grey & Mofroon Nov. 15 at Pebble HillPlantation. The NorthFlorida swamp blues areinvading South Georgiaas part of the annualPlantation Wildlife ArtsFestival this year. Thesetting at Pebble Hill, apalatial spread just overthe Florida-Georgia stateline, may be genteel butthe music will be funky,nasty and down-home.

Tickets are $35.12) Slow Magic on

Nov. 15 at FSU ClubDownunder. The enig-matic DJ and drummerknown as Slow Magiclikes to hide behind abrightly painted equinemask on the stage. Thecostume makes SlowMagic look like a missingcast member of “TheLion King” on Broadway.All you need to know isthis electronic mix-mas-ter produces some of themost lush, lilting anddreamy soundscapes youwill ever hear. It’s a mys-tery worth unraveling.It’s free for FSU studentsand $15 for the generalpublic.

13.) Velcro Pygmies onNov. 20 at the Block Par-ty on Kleman Plaza.Speaking of taking amusical trip back to the’80s, the more theatrical-minded Velcro boys like

to mine the gaudier andmore garish materialfrom Reagan and Bush Ieras. We’re talking coversongs from bands likePoison, Van Halen andDef Leppard; all done upwith big hair and stagepaint. The band ought toshake up this season ofbro-country Block Partyshows, held every Fridaynight before a homegame at Doak CampbellStadium. It’s free.

14.) Bill Frisell Trio onNov. 24 in OppermanMusic Hall. That loud,thunking sound youheard in early Augustwas the noise made byevery jazz guitarist in thecity fainting when Open-ing Nights announcedthat the legendary Frisellwas on his way. Frisell isa guitarist’s guitarist whodabbles, tinkers, decon-structs and owns nearlyevery style of music,whether it’s be-bop or theBeach Boys. He alsorarely plays in Florida, sothis is definitely on the

must-see list. Tickets are$55.

15.) Lucero on Dec. 2at Fire Betty’s ArcadeBar. Lucero is a lot likeits hometown of Mem-phis, which is a meltingpot of diverse musicalstyles thanks to its loca-tion on the MississippiRiver and its close prox-imity to North Mississip-pi. The band is just ascomfortable playing asad country-tinged balladthat could have beenborn next door in Arkan-sas as it is a horn-blast-ing R&B romp that couldhave come from downthe street at the old Staxstudio. Throw in somerowdy cow-punk ravesand a gravel-voiced rocksong or two and thereyou have Lucero. Nowonder every Luceroshow attracts an audi-ence that is such a hodge-podge of personalities.All hail, Lucero. Ticketsare $23 advance and $25day of the concert. It’s anall-ages show.

There is a well-guard-ed Federal Archivesvault in Germany wheremost of the 1,200 featurefilms made in that coun-try between 1933 and1945 are stored awayfrom the public.

The feature-length,theatrical films madeunder Hitler’s reign areexplosive stuff - fig-uratively and literally.The nitrate chemicalsused to make the reelsare unstable and could goboom any day, thus thebunker-style storageunit. The flammablesubject matter containedwithin the films is also agreat potential danger.

In the big-budget,dramatic movie “Home-coming” (1941), one ofJoseph Goebbels’ faveflicks, the invasion ofPoland was justified bypainting an inaccurateportrait that claimedethnic Germans werebeing persecuted in Po-land and needed rescueby the Nazi Army. Worldhistory is depicted intotal reverse, and in avery convincing manner.

That’s just one ofmany twisted examplesof the Nazi movie factoryat work in the documen-tary “Forbidden Films:The Hidden Legacy ofNazi Film,” which isbeing shown this week-end by The TallahasseeFilm Society at All SaintsCinema. It’s a must-seefor film scholars as wellas World War II historybuffs.

Even though “Forbid-den Films” bogs down, bythe end, into a philosophi-cal debate over whetherthe films should orshould not be fully acces-sible to the public, it isgenuinely fascinatingand terrifying to brieflyglimpse into the mind ofthe movie-going public

during the Hitler years.The movie fans weremore willing than brain-washed.

In 1940, more than 20million Germans boughttickets and lined up tosee “Jew Süss” (1940), ananti-Semitic conspiracytheory disguised as asplashy historical cos-tume drama. We’re nottalking about a cheaplymade exploitation flick,either, “Jew Süss” wasthe “Titanic” (1998) of itstime in Der Fatherland.In fact, only 18 millionGermans went out to seeJames Cameron’s epic“Titanic” when it openedin the late ‘90s. Let thatsink in for a moment.

Germany’s answer toHollywood did not saveall its vitriol for the Jews.

The filmmakers alsobashed the French, Eng-lish, Russians and lead-ers of the Weimar Repub-lic with gusto. Many ofthe messages were deliv-ered in musicals and it’samazing how manywords rhyme with stuka.

How sweet it is

Australian actor-direc-tor Damon Gameau bor-rows a page from Mor-gan (“Super Size Me”)Spurlock’s documentary-making playbook byturning himself into ahuman guinea pig in“That Sugar Film.”

While the cameraswere rolling, average-sized Gameau decided toabandon his healthy dietfor two months and con-

sume 40 teaspoons ofsugar on a daily basis. Hewasn’t devouring theobvious supects like icecream, candy bars, cakeand jelly beans, either.Gameau consumed thesweet stuff by downingallegedly healthy fooditems like smoothies,low-fat yogurt, JambaJuice, breakfast cerealsand pasta sauces. Theywere stealthy laden withfructose.

The experiment,which was overseen by ateam of medical profes-sionals, played hell onGameau’s liver, bodyweight and mental state.Sugar highs don’t justhappen to children atbirthday parties.

Even though the fast-moving “That Sugar

Film” is a little too cutesyfor its own good —thanks to loads of com-puter animation, brightlycolored graphics andGameau’s bubbly narra-tion — the core messageis not sugarcoated. Itshould be required view-ing for any parent withyoung children or anyonewho is wondering whythose extra 10 poundsaround the belt are notdisappearing.

The Tallahassee FilmSociety is screening“That Sugar Film” at 7 p.m. Wednesday and at7 p.m. on Sept, 2 at AllSaints Cinema, in theAmtrak station off Rail-road Avenue. It runs 90minutes and is not rated(nothing objectionable,save for a little vomit-

LOS ANGELES — Pat-rick Stewart never real-ly considered himself afunny guy.

After commanding astarship and a team ofmutants in sci-fi andsuperhero franchises,Stewart’s newest missionis starring in his first TVcomedy. With his role inStarz’ “Blunt Talk” asnaughty newsman Wal-ter Blunt, the classicallytrained theater actor isdiscovering at age 75that he can make folkslaugh.

“It’s a fairly recentdevelopment,” Stewartsaid earlier this summeron the show’s set duringa break from filming ascene with guest starJason Schwartzman.“When I first worked forthe Royal ShakespeareCompany, I started inwhat’s called ‘low com-edy’ roles, like Touch-stone, Grumio and Lan-celot. Then, somethinghappened, and I was onlyplaying deeply disturbedkings and neurotics. Inever really went back.”

While he’s best knownas Professor CharlesXavier and CaptainJean-Luc Picard fromthe “X-Men” and “StarTrek” series, Stewart hasspent more of his careeron stage than in the X-Mansion or on the USSEnterprise. Besidesplaying everyone fromClaudius to Macbeth,he’s performed a one-man rendition of “AChristmas Carol” and aWest End and Broadwayrun of Harold Pinter’s“No Man’s Land” andSamuel Beckett’s “Wait-ing for Godot” with IanMcKellen.

“It’s no different,”said Stewart. “It’s just alot more fun. I was talk-ing about this with Ja-

son. The fundamentalsdon’t change becausegoing for truth, realismand spontaneity is allstill the objective, butnow it’s also about goingfor humor. I’ve found themore serious you playthe words from thescript, the funnier theycan become, so to myrelief, it works.”

In “Blunt Talk,” whichdebuts Saturday, Stew-art plays a cheeky Falk-lands War veteran andhost of a cable newsshow. In the first epi-sode, the booze-and-cocaine-loving anchor-man is caught in a carwith a prostitute andattempts to rehabilitatehis image by interview-

ing himself.“Walter wants to

change the world, but hisprivate life is a completedisaster,” said Stewart.“That’s where a lot of thehumor comes from inthe show. How can hepossibly balance hisjournalistic passions andkeep his life in some-what reasonable order?”

The series is exec-utive produced by SethMacFarlane, whoworked with Stewart on“Family Guy” and“American Dad,” andcreated by JonathanAmes, who created theHBO comedy “Bored toDeath.” Ames fashionedthe role of Blunt withStewart.

“I wrote this show forPatrick Stewart andcreated the characterfor him. It was the actorfirst, then the character.It began with how helooked. Patrick Stewarthas always played lead-ers and heroes. I wantedto make Walter Bunt ahero but a confused he-ro, a Don Quixote,” hesaid.

During a visit to theshow’s newsroom set,Stewart was giddy as heobserved Schwartzmanimprovising at the end ofeach take while theywere filming a scenewhere Blunt meetsSchwartzman’s eco-activist character for thefirst time.

Afterward, Stewartnoted such momentsreaffirmed his decisionto return to the gruelingpace of TV production.He didn’t think he’d everbe back as a regular on aseries after “Star Trek:The Next Generation”warped away over 20years ago.

“It feels so good andso different,” he said. “Itruly felt when ‘NextGeneration’ ended in ’94,I could not face thatpressure and those hoursanymore. The idea of ahalf-hour comedy showhad never been part ofmy game plan until Sethcalled me, and here I am.There’s no going backnow.”

DEMOCRAT FILESThe first Tallahassee Beer Mile will start at Proof Brewery on Saturday at 5:30 p.m.


NEW YORK — A manclears his throat andrages at the world. Heclaims to speak for ev-eryday folks with conser-vative ideals and he sav-ages anyone who chal-lenges him. He is un-censored andhigh-decibel, an avatar oftheatrics and must-seeTV. He changes theterms of public discourseforever.

A quarter-centuryafter dropping fromsight, Morton Downey Jr.can be felt all too vividlythese days on talk TVand radio, even realityshows — not to mentionthe presidential cam-paign trail.

What a great time torecall (or discover) thisearth-shaking talk-showhost. And what a fineportrait of him is “Evoca-teur: The Morton Dow-ney Jr. Movie,” whichpremiered Thursdaynight on CNN.

He exploded on thescene in 1987 with a syn-dicated talk show thatshattered the decorum ofPhil Donahue’s programand the genteel give-and-take of “Meet the Press.”

Deploying a cavern-ous mouth stocked with ahuge set of pearlies thatinspired his program’slogo, Downey was rau-cous, raw, belligerentand derisive. From hisstudio in the working-class locus of Secaucus,New Jersey, he baitedand bad-mouthed onesegment of his audiencewhile, for his proto-ditto-heads, he reigned as apopulist rock star whoclaimed to identify “withtheir needs, with theirdreams, with their frus-trations.” But no matterhow they took him, noone could turn awayfrom this architect ofwhat was promptlydubbed Trash Talk.

After just two sea-sons, Downey self-de-structed and was off theair. But just that swiftlyhe had paved the way forthe likes of Rush Lim-baugh and Glenn Beckand, arguably, DonaldTrump.

Produced and directedby Seth Kramer, DanielA. Miller and JeremyNewberger, “Evocateur”traces this blink-of-an-eye rise and fall withsass yet remarkablebalance while drawingon a wealth of archivalmaterial.

The film featuresvintage clips with guestsincluding then-Congress-man Ron Paul (to whom

Downey bellows, “If Ihad a slime like you inthe White House, I’dpuke on you!”) as well asattorney Alan Dersho-witz, attorney-activistGloria Allred and theRev. Al Sharpton, who, aparty to an onstagebrawl, ends up on thefloor.

Current-day inter-views include conserva-tive advocate Pat Bu-chanan; veteran broad-caster Larry King; for-mer talk show hostsRichard Bey and SallyJessy Raphael; KelliDowney Cornwell, one ofDowney’s four childrenfrom his four marriages;as well as members of

his production team.These include Bob

Pittman, who, fresh fromcreating MTV network,was looking for a newadventure and thoughthe’d found one in Dow-ney, a struggling singer-turned-talk-personalityon local radio and TV.

“Until Mort camealong, I think most talk-show hosts were need-lessly polite, to the pointof never getting the realissues on the table,” Pitt-man said recently in aninterview with The Asso-ciated Press.

Until then, Downeyhad hardly set the worldon fire. He was the privi-leged son of pop star

Morton Downey, whoselilting tenor won himfame as “The IrishNightingale.” Juniortried to make it similarlyas a pop singer, and thedocumentary includesfootage of him on a 1950sTV talent show compet-ing for judges who in-clude Dean Martin.

Even more surprising,the Downey family wasclose to the Kennedys —literally, as next-doorneighbors in HyannisPort, Massachusetts. Asa dapper young liberal,Junior worked in Wash-ington for Sen. EdwardKennedy.

At the other end ofDowney’s career, the

film tracks his rapiddescent as overnightsuccess fueled more andmore outrageous antics,both on and off the show.

This peaked in April1989 with an incident in aSan Francisco Interna-tional Airport men’sroom in which heclaimed to have beenambushed by neo-Naziswho painted a swastikaon his face and attempt-ed to shave his head. Theincident turned out to bea desperate ploy by Dow-ney to restore publicfavor, a hoax describedin the film by an asso-ciate who helped himperpetrate it.

Within a few moremonths, his show washistory. Repeated at-tempts at a comebackfailed. Then in 2001, theman who once had boast-ed of smoking four packsof cigarettes a day diedof lung cancer afterspending his last yearsas an anti-smoking ad-vocate.

“He was a very, verycomplex fellow — ex-traordinarily talented,extraordinarilytortured,” says Pittman.“We gave Mort a bigplatform, and on thatplatform he lost his way.Then it became one ofthe few shows in TVhistory where the pro-ducers canceled theirown show.”

“Evocateur” closeswith a final-credits spoofof the red-lipped titlesequence from “TheRocky Horror PictureShow.”

But moments beforethat, Downey is seenbeing interviewed by“Today” host BryantGumbel, who asks him,“Is this a passing fancy,or is this a front of thewave?”

Before Downey cansay, the film cuts toblack. But every viewerof “Evocateur” alreadyknows the answer.

SEOUL, South Korea —Every evening, 14-year-old Kim Sung-jin ordersfried chicken, deliverypizza or Chinese food toeat in a small room in hisfamily’s home south ofSeoul. He gorges on foodas he chats before a livecamera with hundreds,sometimes thousands, ofteenagers watching.

That’s the show, and itmakes Kim money: 2million won ($1,700) inhis most successful epi-sode.

Better known to hisviewers by the nicknamePatoo, he is one of theyoungest broadcasterson Afreeca TV, an appfor live-broadcastingvideo online launched in2006.

Kim, who has a del-

icate physique and chop-stick-like slight limbs,has been broadcasting

himself eating almostevery evening since hewas 11. Sometimes heinvites friends to eatwith him. To add fun, heonce wore a blond wigand dressed as a woman.

While the Internet hasbeen making stars foryears — from bloggersto gamers who play formillions of YouTubeviewers — outsidersmay find it puzzling, ifnot outright bizarre, foryoung people to spendhours watching someoneeating. But in South Ko-rea, Afreeca TV hasbecome a big player inthe Internet subcultureand a crucial part ofsocial life for teens.

Shows like Kim’s areknown as “Meok Bang,”a mash-up Korean wordof broadcast and eating.They are the most pop-ular and often most prof-itable among some 5,000live shows that are airedlive at any given mo-ment on Afreeca TV.

Kim started the showessentially to find some-one to eat with. His par-ents worked in anothercity so he was living withhis grandparents, andthey ate dinner so early

he got hungry at night.Many connect the

popularity of Meok Bangto the increasing numberof South Koreans wholive alone, and to thestrong social aspects offood in this society.

“Even if it is online,when someone talkswhile eating, the samewords feel much moreintimate,” said Ahn Joon-soo, an executive atAfreeca TV. He notedSouth Koreans’ commonhabit of bidding farewellto friends by saying,“Let’s eat together nexttime,” even when theydon’t literally mean it.

There are plenty ofother quirky offeringson Afreeca TV. Late atnight there is “SoolBang” — broadcastdrinking — in whichmelancholic South Kore-ans drink liquor alonediscussing their toughlives. Then there is“Study Bang,” or broad-cast studying: A screenshows the hand of anunidentified person writ-ing notes on a thick bookunder the light of a desklamp.

About 60 percent ofthe 8 million unique

monthly visitors toAfreeca TV are teens orin their 20s. That meansnearly 40 percent of the12.5 million South Kore-ans ages 10 to 30 watch ashow on Afreeca TV atleast once a month.

“Young generationsbelieve that TV is natu-rally something likeAfreeca TV where theycan interact with broad-casters,” said Ahn, thecompany executive. Hebelieves TV in the longrun will be completelyreplaced by such apps.

Cho Young-min, a12-year-old who haswatched an online gameshow on Afreeca TVsince he was a third-grader, aspires to havehis own show on AfreecaTV, not on the TV in theliving room.

Ahn Won-jun, a 17-year-old high schoolstudent, said he prefersto eat dinner in his roomto watch Kim’s MeokBang, rather than diningwith his parents.

Hardcore Afreeca TVviewers are drawn tohosts like Kim becausethey can interact withthem, unlike more dis-tant TV stars. Fans saythey feel their bloodrush and heart flutterwhen a host reacts totheir comments, singlingthem out in the streamof hundreds of live chatmessages.

“I was so moved,”said Lee Yeon-joo, a15-year-old recalling themoment when a 26-year-old man read her mes-sage in the middle of hislive show. “You cannotreally approach celebri-ties.”

Afreeca TV users canget broadcasters’ atten-tion by giving them “starballoons,” which costthem about 10 centsapiece. The show hostskeep most of that money,though Afreeca TV takesa cut of up to 40 percent.

Most broadcasters,

including Kim, are reluc-tant to reveal how muchmoney they make.Afreeca TV said out ofsome 300,000 broadcast-ers who air their show atleast once a month, thetop 500 make more thanwhat one would normallymake by working fulltime, but the companydeclined to be more spe-cific. In 2013, a SouthKorea television networkTV Chosun cited a law-maker’s office that thetop Afreeca TV hostearned 298 million won($250,000) a year.

Live-streaming videosare going mainstream,both in South Korea andoverseas.

In Asia, services suchas YYTV in China havebeen in use by tens ofmillions of users foryears, and also havedeveloped ways to letbroadcasters generateincome.

Meerkat and Peri-scope from Twitter, twolive-streaming apps inthe U.S., were launchedin March. Facebook islaunching its own live-streaming service calledLive, although it will beonly available for fam-ous people.

South Korean searchgiant Naver rushed tolaunch a real-time videoservice where K-popstars can live-streamtheir behind-the-sceneslives. One of the mosttalked-about TV showson a South Korean TVnetwork this year was“My Little Television,”which adopted similarfeatures to Afreeca TV,such as the format ofone person broadcastinga show live while respon-ding to comments fromviewers.

Afreeca TV’s modelmay not translate acrossborders, however. Thecompany’s efforts tomake inroads in Japan,Taiwan and the U.S. havemet with little response.

Today in history

Aries (March 21-April 19).Beyond good and evil, thereis love. The decisions madefrom love can seem compli-cated — not as cut anddried as the moral codewritten in books. The heartdeciphers its own moralcode.

Taurus (April 20-May 20).You will follow your in-tellect to whatever conclu-sion it leads you instead ofaccepting the answer youare being fed by another.This is the way of greatthinkers and truth seekers.

Gemini (May 21-June 21).You’re working from thegut today and will get moreinformation in the blink ofan eye than you would in alengthy dissertation.

Cancer (June 22-July 22).No relationship is entirelywine and roses, but you’llexperience more than yourfair share of movie-worthymoments in the comingweeks — so many that youmay even dare to plan somework and/or travel with aloved one now.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).Shakespeare penned, “Wehave some salt of our youthin us.” It’s that salt that hasyou reacting to someone asthough you were much

younger than you are.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).There have been timeswhen it’s been difficult tomeld the new with theknown people in your life,but right now new friendswill fit nicely into the puzzleof your personal life andwill connect you to excitingoptions for love and work.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Thegatekeepers are just doingtheir job. If they could leteveryone in, what would bethe point of having a gate?Anyway, you’re in the per-fect place and will get insideat the ideal time when youare completely ready.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).Keep going on your project,even if you can only spend10 minutes on it here andthere. Ten minutes here andthere will add up to signifi-cant progress.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21). The general cries, “For-ward!” and that’s the direc-tion the army marches. If it’snot happening that waywhen you cry “forward,”maybe you’re not the gen-eral of this army. Find yourarmy.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).You could totally win the

argument with that aggres-sive person you know, andyet winning would bring nosatisfaction or purpose.Therefore, avoid. Yourenergy is best spent else-where.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).Whatever you’re in themarket for, true shoppingwisdom comes after you’veleft the sales floor for awhile. It’s hard to listen toyour inside voice whensomeone else’s outside voiceis booming in your ear.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).Of course you can’t stopyourself from thinking athought by focusing on notthinking it. Distraction, newfocus, a different environ-ment — all of it will work tostop your worries today.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 21).You’ll invent and reinventthis year. One of your pastcreations will be used in anew way, and you’ll makemore money this timearound.

Advice

Dear Annie: I am a29-year-old marriedwoman with a 14-month-old son. Myhusband and Ilive one houraway from hisfather andstepmother,“Gladys,” andtwo hoursaway from myparents. Weall get alonggreat.

When Idecided to goback to work,both my moth-er and Gladysvolunteered towatch my sontwo days apiece. I paya neighbor to watchhim the remainingday, especially sinceshe has two kids ofher own and I wantmy son to have somesocialization. It’s aperfect setup, andeveryone is happyexcept for my hus-band’s mother, wholives in another state.She is furious that Iallow Gladys to watchmy son, stating thatshe is “not related”and “not really hisgrandma” and that“she will never lovehim like a real grand-ma should.”

My mother-in-lawwants me to have theneighbor watch myson for the two daysGladys is now taking,and she even offeredto pay my neighborso it would not comeout of my pocket.

My husband has aclose relationshipwith his mother and apolite one with Glad-ys. (His mother never

allowed him to get closeto his stepmother, eventhough she didn’t comeinto the picture until

years after thedivorce.) He’s onthe fence aboutthis arrangement.But, Annie, I loveGladys. She is aretired kindergar-ten teacher whois wonderful withmy son.

My MIL isgiving me a head-ache over this. Ialways thoughtwe had a goodrelationship, andher demandsreally blindsided

me. Now she’s angrythat I have allowedGladys to have a rela-tionship with our sonaltogether. I haven’tmentioned any of this toGladys, but I’m sureshe’d be heartbroken.She truly loves our sonand he loves her. Whatshould I do?

— Caught BetweenTwo MILs

Dear Caught: Shameon your mother-in-lawfor being so jealous andbitter that she wouldinterfere in your child-rearing decisions andprevent your son fromhaving a loving relation-ship with Gladys. Wehope your husband hasthe gumption to tell hismother that these arenot her decisions tomake, and that if shecannot accept yourchild’s relationship withGladys, she could bene-fit from counseling.Enough already.

Dear Annie: My21-year-old daughter,like many of her peers,has spent a lot of time

wishing she werethinner, taller, smart-er, more attractive,etc. She is now incollege, studyingnursing. For one ofher classes, she spenttime looking at photosof birth defects. Af-terward she calledme to say, “From nowon, I want to wake upevery day beingthankful that Godmade me just the wayI am.”

I do not believedefects are inflictedarbitrarily by a capri-cious God on an un-lucky few, but I amglad that my “nor-mal” daughter finallyunderstands howfortunate she is to bejust the way she is.

— Glad DadDear Dad: Thanks

to relentless mediapressure to be morephysically attractiveaccording to what-ever standards arecurrent, it is difficultfor both men andwomen to feel satis-fied with their ap-pearance. We are gladyour daughter founda way to accept her-self as is. (And we’llskip wishing to be“smarter,” which canoften be achievedthrough educationand experience, andwhich has nothing todo with physical ap-pearance.)

Cy the Cynic hadplayed in my club’s after-noon duplicate — and hadfinished dead last.

“What happened?” Iasked Cy in the lounge.

“I take full responsi-bility for my results,” theCynic replied grimly,“except those that aresomebody else’s fault.”

Today’s deal contrib-uted to Cy’s demise. AsWest, Cy had an uneasychoice of leads againstSouth’s 3NT. When hetried the queen of clubs,declarer took dummy’sace, and East signaledwith the nine. South nextled a diamond to hisqueen.

Last Club

“I took the king,” Cysaid, “and led the jack of

clubs. My partner ‘un-blocked’ his king andreturned a club, andSouth had four clubtricks, two diamonds, twospades and a heart. Wegot a zero.”

East’s play was wrong.If Cy had the ten ofclubs, he would have ledit at Trick Three. Eastshould have realized thatwhen Cy led the jack, he

was unblocking for East.(Bad things can happenwhen both defendersunblock.) If East playslow on the second club,careful defense beats3NT.

“Kanye West: God &Monster” (TheOverlook Press), byMark Beaumont

Anyone who’s glancedat a tabloid recentlyknows Kanye West as aflashy rapper who ismarried to reality TVstar Kim Kardashian.But “Kanye West: God &Monster” by Mark Beau-mont argues West’s tal-ent and influence stretchwell past the gossipheadlines.

Beaumont did hishomework — there areeight pages of sourcescited in the index —piecing together West’sstory, using media in-terviews spanning morethan a decade. But theonly quotes allegedlysaid by West and those inhis circle are taken fromoutside reporting, notoriginal interviews, so

there are no revelations,and few new personaldetails.

The book followsWest’s life from hischildhood in Chicago tohis first shot in the musicbusiness through to thepresent. The bulk of thecontent focuses on hiscreative process writingand producing, so itreads more like a musicanthology than a biogra-phy.

The chapters are longand dense, each focusingon a particular album,explaining the origin andmeaning of scores ofsong lyrics and musicalhooks, and myriad col-laborators. West hasjoined forces with doz-ens of rap and hip-hopstars and the authornames them all, makingit a challenge to keep up.While Beaumont is deftat analyzing West’s lyricsand relating them to therapper’s life experi-ences, including so manyexamples becomes re-petitive and tedious andbreaks the narrative’sflow.

A consistent theme inthe book is West’s perse-verance and his refusalto accept rejection be-cause his artistic convic-tions and belief in him-self are so strong. Beau-mont suggests that whileWest is now a “god” inmusic, he had a toughtime breaking in.

The author builds aconvincing case thatWest is a creative musicgenius, with an eye forfashion, video directingand design. He’s alsoknown among his peersas one of the hardestworking performers inshow business, produc-ing on a platinum recordwhen he was just 19.

The book examines

his process — neverwriting down lyrics,constantly listening tomusic from all genres tofind hooks and puttingthem together with sig-nature beats. West oftenburrows in hotels andmakeshift studios formonths with little sleep,barely stopping to eat, ashe constantly rearrangessongs up until a recordrelease.

But with successcame hubris and a lackof self-control. Westbegan to draw negativeattention by comparinghimself to great mu-sicians and culturalicons, and he becamefamous for his publicmeltdowns.

Fans looking for scoopon West’s personal lifewill be disappointed.Many life events —messy breakups, hismother’s tragic deathfollowing plastic sur-gery, feuds with othermusicians, his marriageto Kardashian and be-coming a father — areglossed over.

The book spotlightsthe music and West’sambition and artisticinfluence. He has hisown record label, pro-duces and styles musicvideos, created a Nikesneaker and has fashionlines in the works. Histour with Jay Z brokerecords and markedtranscendence into themainstream.

Beaumont’s writingstyle is bland, unlike hisdynamic subject. West’spersonal story, his fear-lessness and tirelesswork ethic, and his talentand creativity will likelyinspire readers. Beau-mont hails West as in-novative and riveting.Unfortunately, his bookis not.
