LOS ANGELES (AP) —Los Angeles police are in-creasingly relying on tech-nology that not only tells pa-trol officers where crime ismost likely to occur but alsoidentifies and keeps track ofex-cons and other bad guysthey believe are most likelyto commit them.

Police say the effort has al-ready helped reduce crime inone of the city’s most notori-ous and historically gang-ridden neighborhoods.

“This is a tremendous stepforward. Without this, Icouldn’t do my job,” saidCapt. Ed Prokop, head of theLos Angeles Police Depart-ment division that watchesover the grimly nicknamed“Shootin’ Newton” area.

The program — part datacollection, part lightning-fastcomputer platform, partstreet-level intelligence-gathering — is expanding inLA with the help of a recentfederal infusion of $400,000and has drawn interest fromdepartments across NorthAmerica.

Dubbed LASER for itsability to zero in on offendersand hotspots, it is one ofmany newer law enforce-ment tools that use datatracking and collection —such as license plate scan-ners and cellphone trackers

— often with little publicknowledge or regulation.

Privacy advocates sayLASER isn’t transparent,has no clear oversight andunjustly focuses on keepingex-convicts under suspicioneven though they’ve servedtheir time.

“People who have paidtheir debts to society should-n’t remain stigmatized in theeyes of police,” said KadeCrockford of the AmericanCivil Liberties Union.

LASER uses technologydeveloped by the CIA’s ven-ture capital arm to realize apost-9/11 dream that allowsinvestigators to match upvast troves of data from 15separate sources to connectdots that they otherwisemight miss.

Funded by federal grants,it launched in 2011 in New-ton, and an expansion fund-ed by additional money inOctober, brought the pro-gram to a total of eight areasthroughout the city, plus thedepartment’s high-techanalysis unit and its helicop-ters.

More than 3,500 LAPD of-ficers have been trained touse Palantir, a platform thatwas introduced initially tospeed up the process of creat-ing dossiers on chronic of-fenders and is now used

throughout the departmentfor a variety of investigativepurposes.

Officials from New York,Nevada, Wisconsin, Wash-ington, Texas and Canadahave been briefed on LASER,said Craig Uchida, presidentof Justice & Security Strate-gies, Inc., and the program’sresearch partner.

There has been little out-side scrutiny of LASER be-cause the nearly $1 millionused to fund it doesn’t affectcity budgets. Police officials,however, say it works andcite a steady drop in killingsin Newton compared to otherareas not using the program.

There were 39 homicides ayear before the programstarted and 14 last year, theysay. And at the end of thefirst year, 87 of the 124 peo-ple the program identified aschronic offenders were ar-rested at least once for “likecrimes,” officials said.

Privacy advocates saythose statistics alone aren’tenough to determinewhether the program is ef-fective.

Under the program, policecrunch historical data to de-termine where crimes havefrequently occurred so offi-cers can spend more time atthose places. It also creates alist of people it considers

more likely to commit crimesbased on past behavior.

A crime intelligence unitcreates the lists by reviewinginterview cards officers sub-mit after stopping people onthe street. The unit pays spe-cial attention to mentions ofgun-related crimes or rob-beries, and people with vio-lent and lengthy criminalhistories.

Police say the lists, whichare marked information onlyand include a photo and thelicense plate numbers of ve-hicles that offenders use,among other information, of-ten become starting points ina violent crime investigation.

Supporters say LASER isdifferent than the New YorkCity police department’s“stop and frisk” policy, an an-ti-street crime program thatwas deemed unconstitution-al because officers dispropor-tionately targeted minoritieswho hadn’t broken the law.

Crockford said the LAPD

risks alienating minorities.“You’re repackaging old bias-es in new technologies,” shesaid.

ACLU lawyer Peter Bib-ring said the bulletinsamount to intelligence fileson people who may commitcrimes — a violation of feder-al law. Once on the list, hesaid, “the chances of policescrutiny go up significantly,and your chances of beingidentified wrongly in acrime.”

Bibring said it’s also notclear that the program is fol-lowing the department’s ownstandards for collectingcriminal intelligence. AnLAPD division was shutdown 30 years ago after thepublic learned it was compil-ing millions of intelligencefiles on 55,000 people.

LASER analysts are en-couraged to purge lists to re-move those who haven’t com-mitted a crime in more thansix months, but there is no

requirement, Uchida said.David Carter, a former po-

lice officer and expert oncriminal justice and policesurveillance at MichiganState University, said he canunderstand the civil libertar-ians’ concerns, but that thepolice are “doing their duediligence” and their actionsare based on reasonable sus-picion.

Jim Bueermann, the presi-dent of the nonprofit PoliceFoundation, said it makessense for police to focus lim-ited resources on troubledareas and people, but theymust tread carefully because“American policing has a his-tory of abusing this notion ofdomestic intelligence gather-ing.”

There’s a fine line, he said,between being smart oncrime and saying that acriminal will always be acriminal.

“People do change,” hesaid.

Patterson City Council OKs $1M plant bondsThe Patterson City Council

took another step Tuesday to-ward replacing its 70-year-oldwater plant by approving theissuance of $1 million inbonds to help pay for the esti-mated $6 million plant.

The council approved a res-olution giving preliminary ap-proval for the issuance of $1million in excess revenuebonds to go toward the city’snew water plant. The bondswill be issued at an interestrate not exceeding 4 percentand maturity date of 12 years.

David Riggins of Govern-ment Consultants in BatonRouge said the issuance of the$1 million in bonds will re-place the U.S. Department ofAgriculture loan that the cityhad originally planned to use.

“This is a better arrange-ment, a better deal for thecity, and it’s less costly,” Rig-gins said. Once the state bondcommission approves param-eters of the issuance of thebonds, officials will start theprocess of doing away with

the USDA loan, Riggins said.Riggins hopes to get inter-

est rates in the range of 2.75percent to 3.2 percent on thebonds, he said. The city al-ready borrowed $5 million forthe project and had appliedfor the USDA loan to get theother estimated $5 millionthat the original water plantwas going to cost, Rigginssaid.

“So this will eliminate, savethe town that $3.8 million bydoing this new water plantthat we’ve gotten quotes andstuff on,” he said.

Mayor Rodney Grogan saidthe total cost will be $6 mil-lion for a “brand new” waterplant. In October, Grogan saidthe plant will be a 50-foot by100-foot, non-conventional fa-cility, which means differentchemicals would be used.

At October’s council meet-ing, the council approved aresolution retaining the serv-ices of Providence/GSE Asso-ciates and authorizing Gro-gan to enter into an engineer-

ing agreement for the con-struction of a 3 MGD compactclarification water treatmentplant. The resolution also in-cluded work authorization toconsultant Professional Engi-neering Environmental Con-sultants.

Grogan said the city tried togo the route of constructing aconventional water plant, butthe bids came back as high as$11 million for that type ofplant with the lowest bid at$10.4 million.

City officials traveled toBatesville, Arkansas, andMelvin, Arkansas, to inspectnon-traditional water plantssimilar to the one the City ofPatterson plans to build.

The design for the plantshould be finished by Febru-ary 2015, and groundbreak-ing of construction of theplant could start probably inJune or July 2015, Grogansaid. Construction of the planwill take about a year, hesaid.

In other business, the coun-

cil: —Approved a variance re-

quest to be able to put a newmobile home at 411 Main St.

—Approved a change orderfor the Willow Street Sewersfrom Taft Street to MartinLuther King Jr. Avenue.

—Adopted a resolution ofsubstantial completion for theWillow Street Sewers.

$4.5 million in capital outlayrequested by Berwick from state

Three capital outlay re-quests to the state were ap-proved by the Berwick TownCouncil Tuesday requestingnearly $4.5 million to assistwith improvements.

The requests are:—$2.95 million to install a

sewer collection system on OldSpanish Trail and La. 182.

—$1.35 million to overlayvarious streets throughout thetown.

—$165,000 to improve deepgravity sewer lines on Fourth,Sixth, Texas, Francis andUtah streets.

The requests will be sub-mitted to the state Division of

Administration by Rep. SamJones, D-Franklin, for consid-eration in the upcoming budg-et year.

Also approved during theTuesday council meeting wasa resolution releasing a servi-tude and right-of-way on landabout to be purchased by de-veloper Fernand Privat of Pri-vat General Contractors inLafayette. He plans to developa 16.2 acre tract of land into asubdivision adjacent to Ren-wick Subdivision.

The servitude is recorded inthe St. Mary Parish Court-house and runs through theproperty Privat wishes to de-

velop. Mayor Louis Ratcliffsaid no one really knows whythe servitude initially was cre-ated and that the town doesnot need it.

However, the council did re-ceive a servitude fromBerwick LLC that exists onthe western boundary of theproperty Private is purchas-ing. It is for the purpose ofdraining water from thefields, Ratcliff said.

In other action, the councilannounced the Christmaslighting will be at 6 p.m.Thanksgiving night, Nov. 27,under the bridge near TownHall.

Los Angeles police department uses data to target crime

Navy inquiry cites complacencyin nuclear submarine fire

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) —Shipyard firefighters andNavy crews participated in 54fire drills over a three-year pe-riod but nothing preparedthem for an arson that sweptthrough a submarine andburned for hours on end, ex-hausting firefighters and crip-pling a $900 million nuclearsubmarine.

Navy investigators conclud-ed that firefighters needed tospend more time preparing fora worst-case scenario after theMay 2012 fire aboard the USSMiami at the PortsmouthNaval Shipyard.

The Navy says it haslearned lessons from the Mia-mi fire.

“We will continue to applybest response practices intoshipyard fire emergencyplans,” Lt. Timothy Hawkins,a Navy spokesman, said fromthe Pentagon.

Hundreds of pages of docu-ments obtained by The Associ-ated Press under a Freedom ofInformation Act request indi-cated that the Navy was con-cerned that complacency hadset in during shipyard repairsand that shipyard firefightersweren’t as prepared as theyneeded to be.

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumen-thal, a member of the SenateArmed Services Committee,said Thursday he wants tohold a congressional hearingon firefighting techniques andtraining to determine whetherCongress should allocate addi-tional funding.

Investigators said shipyardworkers squandered preciousminutes after the fire was setby delaying a fire alarm andlooking in the wrong place forthe fire.

“Complacency had set in,based on the infrequency ofshipyard fires and relativesuccess of fire preventionmeasures,” investigatorswrote. “Also, there was an as-sumption that the proximity to

far more assets, especially fed-eral firefighters, reduced thelikelihood of a fire not beingquickly contained. This orga-nizational reluctance to pre-pare for a fire of this scaleshould serve as a wake-up call— large fires can and do hap-pen in industrial environ-ments.”

It took 12 hours and the ef-forts of more than 100 fire-fighters to save the Groton,Connecticut-based Miami af-ter a worker who wanted to gohome early set a fire thatquickly spread.

The Navy launched a seriesof investigations that led torecommendations, includingthe installation of temporaryautomatic fire detection sys-tems while vessels are beingrepaired or overhauled. It is-sued a new fire safety and pre-vention manual.

A report released by U.S.Fleet Forces Command indi-cated just how dire the situa-tion became aboard the LosAngeles-class submarine,which was in dry dock whileundergoing a 20-month over-haul in Kittery, Maine: At onepoint, officials discussed aban-doning their firefighting ef-forts and flooding the dry dockwhen it appeared the subma-rine might be lost.

The fire severely damagedliving quarters, the commandand control center and a torpe-do room, but it did not reachthe nuclear propulsion compo-nents.

Seven people were injureddousing the flames.

The Navy originally wantedto return the submarine toservice but ultimately decidedto scrap it after the repair billhit $700 million.

Investigators said shipyardfirefighters were unfamiliarwith the submarine’s layoutand that there was no require-ment for certification to battlea fire in a shipboard environ-ment — or even to conduct a

walk-through to familiarizethemselves with the sub.

But Brian Tapley, who wasthe shipyard fire chief at thetime, disputed any suggestionthat the firefighters were un-familiar with Miami. Fire-fighters conducted monthlywalk-throughs, practiced drag-ging hoses through sub-marines and never flunked adrill, he said.

He said he had the utmostrespect for firefighters whobattled searing heat from afire that was fueled by oxygenentering through holes cut inthe submarine.

“They climbed into the bellyof an inferno,” said Paul O’-Connor, president of the MetalTrades Council, a union at theshipyard. “Every one of themis a hero.”

The Navy also said it was toblame for failing to incorporatelessons learned from past firesinto training and for not mak-ing the roles for Navy authori-ties clear.

The Fleet Forces report in-cluded 99 recommendations —virtually all of which wereredacted because they werenot final decisions, Hawkinssaid.

Blumenthal said he was dis-appointed the recommenda-tions weren’t made public, andhe plans to ask the Navy forthem.

“The report documents avery compelling need for bet-ter training and more expertfirefighters that can help stopsuch catastrophic fires on sub-marines,” the Connecticut De-mocrat said.

The recommendations applyto ships that are being re-paired or overhauled. The re-port notes that the vessels aremore vulnerable in that set-ting because damage-controlequipment is removed or inop-erable; most of the crew isaway; and temporary fire-con-trol equipment is less familiarto crew.

By Abigail Van BurenDEAR ABBY: Thanksgiving is fast ap-

proaching and I would like to share some ad-vice with your readers from someone whohas volunteered in shelters for many years.

1. Please do NOT volunteer on Thanksgiv-ing. It’s the day most people volunteer, andthere are always more volunteers thanhomeless people.

2. If you want to make donations, pleasedrop them off a few days before or a few daysafter. It will allow the shelter time to storeall the donations and to takean inventory of what is stillneeded.

3. Shelters need not onlyfood, but also paper goodssuch as plates, napkins, toi-let paper and plastic uten-sils.

4. Because refrigeratorspace is limited, don’t bringanything that must be re-frigerated.

5. Most shelters pay rent,water, electric and telephonebills and lease office equip-ment, etc. A check or cashdonation is ideal. It’s alsotax deductible.

If in doubt, call ahead (atleast a week in advance) andask what is needed. —YEAR-ROUND VOLUN-TEER

the beginning of “Call of Du-ty: Advanced Warfare,” therecently released install-ment in Activision’s block-buster military shooter fran-chise, the player is dumpedfrom the sky in a drop podonto an urban battlefield,smashing into skyscrapersand landing in a futuristic,war-torn rendition of a citythat’s rarely depicted invideo games: Seoul, SouthKorea.

It’s a “Wizard of Oz” mo-ment for the “Call of Duty”series.

The interactive mediumhas long built digital play-grounds based on real-worldlocales. However, recenttechnological leaps, as wellas an endless string ofgames set in ubiquitous lo-cations like New York andLos Angeles, have motivateddevelopers of some of theyear’s biggest and most an-ticipated games to boldly gowhere they haven’t before.

“I think designers are onthe lookout for compellingplaces you want to be,” said“Advanced Warfare” seniorlevel designer Colin Mun-son. “It’s fantasy fulfillment.That’s probably why we al-ways see New York and LosAngeles. We made it a con-certed effort at the begin-ning of development tobroaden our levels. Seoulwas one of the first thatcame to mind.”

Munson found that thecity’s sprawling shoppingdistrict seamlessly served asa shooting gallery, andSeoul’s wide streets — nor-mally a no-no in first-personshooter level design — made

for the perfect spot to un-leash a swarm of enemydrones 50 years in the fu-ture. (Ironically, videogames are a national pas-time in South Korea, but fewever take place there.)

The only thing more chal-lenging than forming a cityin the future might be recre-ating one from the past.

After tackling such timeperiods and locales as theThird Crusade in the MiddleEast and the Golden Age ofPiracy in the Caribbean, thenext chapter of the time-hopping “Assassin’s Creed”saga takes place during theFrench Revolution in Paris.The processing power of thePlayStation 4 and Xbox Oneconsoles allowed designersto craft a massively denseCity of Lights.

“Assassin’s Creed: Unity”designers spent two yearserecting a virtual NotreDame — inside and out — toscale. That doesn’t mean theUbisoft game is an interac-tive history book. Despitethe fact “Unity,” out Tues-day, is set before the iconiccathedral’s spire was built,it sits atop the game’s NotreDame. Likewise, Bastille isstill standing when itwould’ve been rubble.

“We’re making art,” said“Unity” level design directorNicolas Guerin. “It’s not ahistorical simulation. Westill want players to feel likethey’re in the Paris they’veseen on a postcard or visitedin person, but there’s pres-sure — because many of thedevelopers are French — tomake sure that we renderjustice to the capitol of mycountry, as well as to histo-

ry.”The pervasiveness of im-

agery and records online hasmade it both easier andmore difficult for designers.The creators of the present-day open-world shoot-’em-up“Far Cry 4,” scheduled forrelease Nov. 18, found a dis-connect between what theyglimpsed on their screensand what they experiencedin person when visiting thecountry that inspired theirsequel.

A team of “Far Cry 4” de-signers traveled to Nepalwhile fashioning Kyrat, afictional nation in the Hi-malayas entrenched in abullet-riddled revolt. TheUbisoft game’s vistas mirrorNepal’s lush forests thatgive way to snowy moun-tains. The more difficult bal-ance to strike was creating arealm that felt fantasticallyrealistic but wouldn’t offendfolks in the real world.

“We’re inspired by the lo-cations and cultures, but wedon’t directly reference it,”said “Far Cry 4” narrativedirector Mark Thompson.“We did work early on to cre-ate a unique mythology andreligion for Kyrat, borrowingfrom the themes and sym-bolism of Buddhism andHinduism. At the end of theday, we’re making a videogame. It’s about escapismand fun.”

Apparently, there’s stillnothing like the real thing.

Louisiana pecan industry still trying torecover from 2011 drought

SHREVEPORT, La. – Asthe weather cools off andthe holidays get closer, “webuy pecans” signs are crop-ping up at gas stations andsmall stores alongLouisiana highways.

Pecan harvest startedabout three weeks ago andwill run through late De-cember, said LSU AgCenterpecan specialist CharlieGraham. He expects about15 million pounds of pecansto be harvested in Louisianathis year.

Improved varieties ofpecans are fetching $2.80 to$3 per pound, which is “verygood,” Graham said. Na-tives, which make up mostof the Louisiana crop, aren’tfaring as well, selling for be-tween 40 cents and 60 centsper pound.

Graham said growers arestill trying to catch up fromthe 2011 drought, whichharmed pecan size andquality. Much of the cropthat year was sold as piecesfor lower prices.

While native Louisianapecans have high oil contentand good flavor, they sell forlower prices because of theirsmaller size, Graham said.

Louisiana is one of fewstates where pecans are na-tive. Georgia, the No. 1pecan-producing state,grows mostly the improved

varieties. Graham said Louisiana

growers are graduallyplanting more improved va-rieties, like those grown intrials at the AgCenter’sPecan Research and Exten-sion Station. They not onlyproduce larger pecans, butalso can provide resistanceto a fungal disease calledscab.

Scab pressure has beenlight this year, Grahamsaid, but developing resist-ant varieties is still impor-tant. The disease causesblack lesions to form onpecans. If scab infection oc-curs early in the growingseason, nuts can fall fromthe tree too soon, resultingin partial to total crop loss.

Insects haven’t been muchof a problem this season ei-ther — yet.

“We’re waiting to seeabout stinkbugs,” Grahamsaid. “They move intopecans after soybeans andcotton are harvested. Youdon’t know how much dam-age they’ve done until youshell the pecans.”

Stinkbugs pierce theshells of pecans and feed onthe kernels, leaving behindblack dots. Pecans withstinkbug damage sell forlower prices.

Pecans contributed nearly$7.8 million to Louisiana’s

economy in 2013. PointeCoupee is the top-producingparish and where the state’slargest shelling plant is lo-cated.

Most people grow pecanson a small scale and sellthem either locally or to aprocessing plant, wherethey are treated with heator chlorine and then shelled.

“We don’t have a lot oflarge orchards inLouisiana,” Graham said.“We have a lot planted asfive- or 10-acre plots. Peopletend to use it for extra in-come or vacation money.”

The nature of the indus-try makes it is hard to tellexactly how many pecanproducers there are or howmany acres they grow. Gra-ham estimates state pecanacreage is about 20,000acres.

Louisiana has rankedfifth or sixth for U.S. pecanproduction in recent years.Georgia, New Mexico, TexasOklahoma and Arizona areother top pecan-producingstates.

The United States ranksNo. 1 in world productionfor pecans. The nuts havebecome a novelty in China,which has been buying be-tween 60 million and 100million pounds of Americanpecans since 2009, Grahamsaid.

The mid-term election should have been aresounding wake-up call to President Obamato change from his liberal agenda and startworking with an emboldened Republican Par-ty. On Tuesday, the GOP took over control ofthe U.S. Senate, expanded its majority in theHouse and gained governorships in such bluestates as Maryland and Illinois.

The voters delivered a clear repudiation ofthe Obama presidency and his quest to re-make America. Amazingly, the tone deaf Presi-dent did not admit his role in the DemocraticParty defeats. At a Wednesday news confer-ence, the President refused to acknowledgethe message from the voters and continued toadmit that executive amnesty was on the hori-zon for millions of illegal immigrants.

The President is continuing on a path thatwill bring chaos and ruin to this country.House Speaker John Boehner cautioned thePresident against executive amnesty and saidthat President should not “play with matches.”If he does grant amnesty and ignores the elec-torate, Boehner believes that Obama will“burn himself.”

In Boehner’s view, if Obama grantsamnesty, he will be acting “unilaterally” andexceeding “his authority.” How should Con-gress react to such a provocation? It can de-fund the presidential action or launch im-peachment proceedings. At the very least, theGOP leadership should stop acting like Repub-licans and actually fight back against Presi-dent Obama.

On the issue of immigration, Republicanshave been fearful of Hispanic groups and be-

ing labeled racist by the media. They have lis-tened to their big donors in the business com-munity who have championed the “cheap la-bor” of illegal immigrants. All the while, themajority of Americans have been calling for anend to this influx of illegal aliens and the se-curing of our borders.

In Tuesday’s stunning vote, the Americanelectorate repudiated Obama’s immigrationpolicies and called for Republicans to standfirm against him, not compromise. Neverthe-less, the President will not listen to the votersand will continue to pursue his unpopularpolicies at any cost. Once he grants executiveamnesty, it will be a “slap in the face” to all le-gal citizens, especially Hispanic Americanswho entered this country legally.

The Republican Congress needs to act swift-ly once the President imposes amnesty. Alongwith defunding his plans, the Congress shouldcommit to finishing a border fence, increasingthe border patrol and prosecuting businesseswho knowingly hire illegal workers.

Sadly, too many Republicans want to workwith the President on “comprehensive immi-gration reform.” Last year, the Senate passedan immigration bill that called for a pathwayto citizenship, but, fortunately, the House re-fused to pass it. While some Republicans wantto revisit this issue, the reality is that a secureborder will make a comprehensive bill unnec-essary and the problem will gradually dissi-pate.

Unfortunately, the problem is growing to-day because the border is not secure. Thissummer, thousands of illegal youngsters from

Central America flooded intoour country burdening publicschool systems in dozens ofstates.

We have a bad situationthat the President is going tomake worse with executiveamnesty. In defying theAmerican people, he is actinglike a child and, as noted byBoehner, playing with match-es on this issue. While hemay believe that executiveamnesty will be good for theDemocratic Party, it willcause more economic and cul-tural strain in the country,and create a “constitutionalcrisis” according to U.S. Sen-ator Ted Cruz (R-TX).

The showdown is comingand Republicans have to pre-pare their response. An im-mense battle is brewing thatwill have major consequencesfor our country. Hopefully,the Republicans will listen tothe people and not to specialinterests. It would be a re-freshing change that willbenefit their party and, mostimportantly, their country.

The Democrats got another midterm drub-bing. Everyone who doesn’t live under theheaviest of rocks must know why: Millennialsand minorities headed to the polls in smallnumbers.

For most of those who did vote, though, itis clear that arguments of a “99 percent” pit-ted against extreme concentrations of wealth,some “War on Women” being waged by angrychauvinists, and “structural racism” keepingJim Crow alive fell on deaf ears.

Whether it was claiming the governor’srace in staunchly progressive Massachusetts,giving Virginia’s highly popular DemocraticU.S. Senator Mark Warner the fight of his ca-reer, or amassing the largest U.S. House ma-jority since Herbert Hoover’s day, GOP suc-cesses cannot be understated.

None of this even begins to tread on the Re-publican victories in state legislatures, suchas flipping the long-Democratic West VirginiaHouse of Delegates, securing a super-majori-ty in the Florida House, and reasserting con-trol over the New York Senate.

Of course, the U.S. Senate’s incoming GOPmajority will likely make whatever PresidentObama hoped to see pass an already fractiouscongress moot.

All this raises the question of what went sowrong for the Democrats. Back in 2008, itseemed they were on the cusp of a multi-gen-erational power trip from San Diego toBoston and back again. Now, they’ve been re-duced to celebrating victories in reliable lo-cales such as Hawaii. While the Republicanscertainly have their flaws - too many to men-tion here - millions upon millions have decid-ed that they stand for something worthwhile.

It seems that part of the Democratic prob-lem is reliance on funding from billionairesand less wealthy, yet highly influential “lim-ousine liberals”. Despite claiming to be in fa-vor of average-to-downtrodden folks, mostDemocratic politicians go out of their way toforge alliances with individuals whose inter-ests they publicly revile. The hypocrisy of thisis plain to see. Understanding how and whysuch a setup works, though, is complicated.

The oft-derided one percent consists of cap-italists who have such tremendous networths that their respective spheres of influ-ence extend far beyond the private sector. In-

deed, these billionaires have the money tobuy entire legislatures, let alone the key com-mittees that amend any given bill before itreaches a floor vote.

Quite often, it is not beneficial to supportthe system which afforded them prosperity.As free enterprise requires constant change,after a period of time, each member of the onepercent will almost definitely fall back intothe remaining 99. This is generally a result ofnew entrepreneurs participating, and by farmost threateningly, succeeding in the mar-ket.

The only way for the status quo to remainentails restricting the market from within.

So, the extremely wealthy establish vari-ous special interest groups dedicated to craft-ing draconian regulations in the name of thepublic good, tackling hot-button social issues,and riling the hopes of easily led ideologues.These groups then contribute heavily to thecoffers of receptive politicians. As word getsout that the aforementioned groups pay well,the number of public officeholders willing tolisten grows.

Sometimes no groups are formed at all.Rather, teams of formidable lobbyists arehired to engage lawmakers directly. In anycase, the ultra-wealthy secure a lofty perchby decimating the ladder that leads to it.Thus it becomes clear why a startling num-ber of anti-business organizations receivewhat can only be described as executive levelfunding.

The decidedly none-too-affluent street ac-tivists in socialist/anarchist/radicalgreen/whatever movements do not see whatis really going on. The same goes for reac-tionaries on the right who consume them-selves with such poignant issues as overturn-ing a Supreme Court decision written overforty years ago: Roe v. Wade.

As extremists busy themselves buildingsandcastles, those select few at the top of thepyramid are quietly cashing in. Quashingcompetition is smart business, and what bet-ter way to go about this than through readilyaccessible and totally legal means?

The Democratic Party is merely a conven-ient vehicle for tycoons who want total domi-nation. Perhaps the progressives who stayedhome caught on to this.

I admit it: I feel sorry for cigarette and ci-gar smokers these days. But changing fash-ions and the results of the recent electionmay offer them hope.

Cigarette smoking used to be fashionable.Actors like Steve McQueen and Sean Con-nery made it look manly and cool in theirmany movies.

Women who smoked used to be consideredsexy, too. No sooner did they pull a VirginiaSlim out of their cigarette case than meneverywhere would rush toward them withlighters.

But somewhere along the way, smoking be-came vile and ugly. Americans began hatingit the way they once hated communism andpolio. The government sued cigarette makersfor misleading the public about the addictivenature of nicotine and billions in punitive taxrevenues are now pouring into public treas-uries. Smoking has been banned in publicplaces in many states.

And so it is that cigarette smokers areshunned at family gatherings and sent to thegarage or the street, so as not to stink up thehouse. Even executives at the highest level ofcorporate America are sent down the elevatorto the basement or courtyard, where theymingle with other smokers like some kind ofpigeons while passersby snarl at them in dis-gust.

It’s not much better for cigar smokers. I smoke 15 or 20 stogies in a good year.

Why? I don’t know. Maybe it’s the manly feel-ing I get when I see my breath billow out ofme like a chimney. Or maybe I want to be inthe company of legendary cigar smokers likeMark Twain and Winston Churchill. Andthere’s something calming about taking aslow, deep drag on a stogie. It’s like male yoga- for males who would never do yoga.

Sure, there are health risks to those whosmoke cigars on a daily basis. Such smokersare more prone to cancer of the mouth andother maladies - and fully aware of the risk.

All I know is that it is dang relaxing and it

promotes some very enjoyable conversationswith friends and strangers at my favorite ci-gar bar, the Leaf & Bean in Pittsburgh’s StripDistrict.

But the federal government is going aftercigars now, too. President Obama’s Food andDrug Administration proposed sweeping reg-ulations last spring that would affect theavailability, accessibility and cost of my fa-vorite cigars.

As stated in the Federal Register, the FDAbelieves that “asserting our authority overthese tobacco products will enable us to takefurther regulatory action in the future as ap-propriate.”

Like they did with cigarettes and cigarettesmokers?

Well, if the recent elections are any indica-tion, I think the future suddenly is lookinggood for smokers - marijuana smokers.

You see, many of the same totalitarian do-gooders who loathe cigarettes and cigars, andwho have been doing all they can to limittheir use, have been doing everything theycan to allow people to smoke weed freely.

Referendum initiatives legalizing recre-ational marijuana just passed in Alaska, Ore-gon and the District of Columbia - eventhough inhaling weed is much harder onone’s lungs than inhaling cigarettes and farriskier than puffing on a cigar without inhal-ing at all.

In any event, the trends are looking goodfor marijuana legalization. Whether youagree or disagree with the trends, legal weedsmoking is the hot fashion of the day.

So if you like to sit back and enjoy smokingdried leaves without the government buttingin and telling you what you can and cannotdo, maybe it’s time to give up unfashionablevices - cigarettes and cigars - and prepare tomake the switch to a vice that is highly fash-ionable, marijuana.

And if you don’t like such governmenthypocrisy, too bad. You’re just going to haveto put it in your pipe and smoke it.

So, that was fun. One minute we’re prom-ised a half dozen toss up races to determinecontrol of the United States Senate, and thenext Democrats are ducking under theirdesks as Massachusetts and Maryland elect-ed Republican governors. Let the “Very Im-portant Pundits” take turns on cable news as-signing blame for the losses. I’m more inter-ested in why the polls didn’t tell us the wavewas coming.

Most of the electoral forecasts that aggre-gated polls predicted a likely Republicantakeover of the Senate, but each race wassupposed to be close. Alaska and Iowa weresupposed to be 1-point races. Only 2-3 per-cent separated the candidates in Colorado.New Hampshire and North Carolina wereclose, but Democrats were favored in thoseraces. And that was just the public polls.

Privately, Democratic pollsters were notnearly as bearish. They spoke of the problemspolling Hispanics in Colorado, the native pop-ulation in Alaska, and the new African Amer-ican influx into the Atlanta suburbs. Therewas complicated talk about the messed upstatistical modeling in the public polls. We’llbe fine in North Carolina, they assured allwho paid to listen to their advice.

The big picture gave no hint of the comingelectoral wave. Barack Obama was no moreunpopular than he was in 2013. The countrytold pollsters they didn’t particularly favor ei-ther political party. Voters told pollsters theyhated congress more than two-day hang-overs.

Right up until the polls closed, all theking’s horses and all the king’s men were con-fident in their analysis that the election couldgo either way. Paul Begala, a smart man ofgood character, confidently told a nationaltelevision audience that voters didn’t hateDemocrats so much that they wanted to re-ward Republicans.

Lifeguards and surfers agreed; there wasno wave coming. Then a tsunami came andwiped out the entire city.

The only reason the 2014 midterms weren’tworse is that Democrats had not won back alltheir losses from 2010. In other words, they

didn’t have much left to lose, but Republicansnearly cleaned them out.

The Senate races in Alaska, Colorado, andIowa were not close. Republicans won thosebig. North Carolina wasn’t particularly closeeither, but the Republican won that, too. Youknow what was close? Mark Warner barelywon re-election in Virginia, a race that wason no one’s radar.

Democrats spent the entire election com-plaining that polls were skewed againstthem, when in fact they were skewed in theirfavor. According to Nate Silver, who hasn’tbeen wrong yet, the average Senate poll over-estimated the Democrat’s chance by 4 per-cent.

This isn’t the first time this has happened,and before you start yelling about one partyor the other, it happens to both. Polls were bi-ased toward Democrats by 3-4 points in 1994and 2002 and towards Republicans by 2-5points in 1998, 2006, and 2012. In fact, it wasthe 2012 bias that probably led to the pollingcommunity to overcompensate by adjustingtheir turnout predictions for 2014, leading toa whole bunch of bad polls.

Here’s how that works. Imagine a statewhere 10 people live. If you assume six ofthem are white men over the age of 60, thenyou can assume that a Republican will win. Ifyou assume six of them are African-Americanwomen of any age, then the polls will favor aDemocrat. In extremely rudimentary terms,this is where mistakes begin.

These days, polls are aggregated and ex-amined by guys like Silver, so there is a ten-dency to not want one’s poll to appear wrongby deviating from the consensus. These arecalled “outliers” and are immediately suspi-cious. So pollsters agree with each other’s as-sumptions, which is called “herding.” Andthat’s how they can all be wrong at the sametime in the same way.

We’re never going to get this completelyright because humans are at the root of it,though it shouldn’t take a brain surgeon toget a poll close enough to be useful in an elec-tion. If I’m going to see my team wiped off themap, I’d at least like to know it’s coming.

Hanson Tigers travel to play St. Mary’s at Turpin Stadium

No. 15 seeded HansonMemorial Tigers will travelto play the No. 2 seeded St.Mary Tigers of Natchitochestonight in the LHSAA Foot-ball First Round playoffs inDivision IV at Turpin Stadi-um at Northwestern StateUniversity in Natchitoches.

“We have a chance to playa really good team rankedNo. 2 in the playoffs, whilealso making some noise inthe playoffs,” HMS HeadCoach Brett Blakey said.

Hanson (6-4) seeded No. 15in Division IV, travels to playthe St. Mary’s Tigers (9-1)tonight at Turpin Stadium atNorthwestern State Univer-sity in Natchitoches.

Judging by last Friday’soutcome, the Hanson Tigersare ready to make their markin the state playoffs againstthe heralded St. Mary Tigerstonight in Natchitoches.

Hanson heads intotonight’s showdown after animpressive victory in lastweek’s regular season finalewith the return of starting

quarterback Bo Barrilleaux.While being as healthy as

possible, the Tigers rolled toa 49-21 triumph over theChristian Life Crusaders ofBaton Rouge.

During last Friday’s con-test, the Hanson Tigersshined on both sides of theball as well as special teams.

Hanson Jeff Soulis rushed23 times for 223 yards withthree touchdowns. Wide re-ceiver Royce Norton caughtfive passes for 111 yards andtwo scores while also return-ing a kickoff 84 yards for an-other score.

Barrilleaux, who returnedto the lineup after a three-week absence, connected on 6of 10 passes for 109 yardsand two touchdowns with nointerceptions.

Defensively, the Tigerswere led by Cameron Stovallwith 5.5 tackles, includingone-half tackle for loss. JacobStewart recorded five tackleswith two sacks and threetackles for loss. Luke Ro-driguez made four solo tack-

les while Clint Young record-ed three solo tackles with onesack and one tackle for loss.Hanson defenders GavinMarin, Brandon Bonin, KaleDelcambre, Brant Broussard,Chase Daigle and BrittYoung also recorded at leasttwo tackles last week.

Tonight, the Hanson Tigerswill take on the highly-re-garded St. Mary Tigers whofeatured a potent ground at-tack of their own.

According to Blakey, theSt. Mary Tigers are 9-1 withtheir only loss being to a 5-Afootball team with finished 7-3 overall.

“They are a good team,which likes to run the foot-ball behind a tough kid atrunningback,” he said. “Theylike to average around 300 or400 rushing yards a game.We will have to stop the runand force them to throw thefootball. They are a goodteam as they finished with a9-1 record and that can’t bedone without being a goodteam.”

Devon Still eager to shakehands with Sean Payton

CINCINNATI (AP) —Bengals defensive tackleDevon Still is eager toshake hands with Saintscoach Sean Payton and saythanks in person for buyingso many of his jerseys.

Payton bought 100 ofStill’s jerseys — at $100apiece — when the linemanand the Bengals were start-ing a campaign to raisemoney for pediatric cancerresearch and treatment.Still’s 4-year-old daughter,Leah, started anotherround of treatment for can-cer this week at a Philadel-phia hospital.

Still and Payton havetalked on the phone. Theyplan to meet on the field

Sunday in New Orleans af-ter the Bengals (5-3-1) playthe Saints (4-5) in an im-portant game for bothteams.

“He’s basically what gotthe ball rolling with every-thing,” Still said. “A lot ofthe credit goes to him forwhat he did.

“You can’t thank some-body the way you want to orare supposed to over thephone. It’s something youhave to do face-to-face, soI’m definitely looking for-ward to meeting him.”

Leah was diagnosed withcancer in early June andhad a tumor removed fromher abdomen. The Bengalsdecided to donate proceeds

from sales of Still’s No. 75jersey to Children’s Hospi-tal in Cincinnati for pedi-atric cancer research.

The team presented acheck for more than $1 mil-lion to the hospital after thefirst quarter of a 24-3 lossto Cleveland last Thursdaynight at Paul Brown Stadi-um. Leah flew in fromPhiladelphia and was onthe field for a loud ovationfrom the crowd.

Payton was one of thefirst NFL coaches outside ofCincinnati to embrace thecause. His example prompt-ed others to donate to pedi-atric cancer research. Pay-

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla.(AP) — Put simply, the Mia-mi Dolphins were due.

They had been on a disas-trous stretch against the Buf-falo Bills, with one touch-down in a span of 33 posses-sions overlapping four games— three of which they lost,the fourth one looking like itwould have the same out-come.

“I wasn’t aware of that sta-tistic,” Miami coach JoePhilbin said. “Certainly did-n’t pass it along to the team.”

Then came a break-through, and just like thatthe Dolphins’ playoff chanceslook a whole lot more realis-tic.

Ryan Tannehill threwtouchdown passes on back-to-back drives in a five

minute span in the secondhalf, Miami’s defense heldBuffalo without a touchdownand the Dolphins beat theBills 22-9 on Thursday night.

“The team felt, the offenseespecially, felt confident inwhat we were doing,” Tan-nehill said. “We were able tomove the ball, do exactlywhat we wanted to do. ... Ithink we did that in the sec-

ond half, played more clean.”The Dolphins (6-4) moved

into sole possession of secondplace in the AFC East, 1 1/2games behind New England— a team Miami beat inWeek 1.

Tannehill completed 26 of34 passes for 240 yards andthe two scores to BrandonGibson and Jarvis Landry.Lamar Miller rushed for 86yards on 15 carries for Miamiand the Dolphins’ defenseheld Buffalo to 86 yards on

30 plays after halftime.Dan Carpenter kicked

three field goals against hisformer team, accounting forall of Buffalo’s scoring. TheBills (5-5) had beaten theDolphins in each of theteams’ last three meetings,but left the game looking upat 10 other teams in the AFCstandings.

“We’ve got to score,” Billscoach Doug Marrone said.“This was a team loss.There’s no doubt about that

when you look at all thethings that happened outthere tonight. ... We lost thisgame as a team.”

Here’s what to know afterMiami’s win over Buffalo:

TANNEHILL’S NUM-BERS: Sure, the NFL quar-terback rating formula iscomplex and isn’t the sort ofthing most people can figureout in their head. But whenit comes to Tannehill, figur-ing out what that ratingmeans is simple. When hisrating is 91.0 or better in asingle game, the Dolphinsare now 16-0. When it’s lessthan 91.0, the Dolphins are5-21. His rating Thursdaynight: A tidy 114.8, the fifth-best showing of his 42-gamecareer.

Dolphins break through, top Buffalo Bills 22-9

Kershaw, Trout win MVP awardsNEW YORK (AP) — For

once, Clayton Kershaw wasglad to see a long shutoutstreak end.

Kershaw became the firstpitcher to win the NationalLeague MVP award sinceBob Gibson in 1968, coastingto an easy victory Thursday.

“A little bit of shock, hon-estly,” the Dodgers ace saidon a conference call. “I guessI never really anticipated towin that.”

A day after unanimouslytaking the NL Cy YoungAward, Kershaw completed aLos Angeles sweep. A littleearlier, Angels outfielderMike Trout was a unanimouspick for the AL MVP.

Trout had been blanked inhis bid the past two years,finishing second both timesto Detroit slugger MiguelCabrera. The 23-year-oldTrout was the youngestunanimous MVP pick in ma-jor league history.

“Just anxious throughoutthe day,” Trout said of thewaiting period. “I knew theexperience I had the last twoyears. It helped me with it.”

Trout, the MVP of the All-Star game in July, and Ker-shaw both led their teams toWest division titles. In Au-gust, they finally faced eachin a regular-season game —Trout singled, doubled andstruck out looking at DodgerStadium.

Someday, they hope tomeet in October.

“I think in the future we’regoing to contend for theWorld Series, year in andyear out,” Kershaw said.

To do that, they want toimprove in the playoffs. Ker-shaw went 0-2 with a 7.82ERA against St. Louis in theDivision Series, leaving him1-5 with a 5.12 ERA in thepostseason.

The MVP and Cy Youngprizes don’t “take the stingaway of what happened inthe playoffs,” Kershaw said.

Trout went 1 for 12 in athree-game sweep by KansasCity in his first playoff try.

“It’s tough to do. You haveall these expectations, you

want to do so good,” he said.The awards voting was

completed by the end of theregular season.

Kershaw breezed past Mi-ami bopper Giancarlo Stan-ton and Pittsburgh outfielderAndrew McCutchen to be-come Most Valuable Player.

While Detroit pitcherJustin Verlander won the ALMVP in 2011, no one on theNL side had done it for near-ly a half-century.

There was plenty of every-day player-vs.-pitcher MVPdebate before this announce-ment. Kershaw had acknowl-edged “there are so manypeople out there who don’tthink a pitcher should win.”

But the 26-year-old leftyagain dominated the hitters— Kershaw led the majors inwins and ERA while going21-3 with a 1.77 ERA andthrowing a no-hitter.

Kershaw got 18 of 30 first-place votes and 355 points inballoting by members of theBaseball Writers’ Associationof America. He drew ninesecond-place votes, one thirdand pair of fourths.

“To be a pitcher and winthe MVP, it’s pretty awe-some,” he said.

Stanton got eight first-place ballots and 298 points.He led the NL with 37homers and was second with105 RBIs, and missed thelast 17 games for the fourth-place Marlins after being hitin the face by a fastball.

McCutchen got four firstsand 271 points in his bid towin the award for the secondstraight year. He hit .314with 25 home runs and 83RBIs for the wild-card Pi-rates.

Six AL pitchers have wonthe MVP since Gibson took itfor the Cardinals.

Before Gibson, seven pitch-ers had won the NL MVP, alist that includes Hall ofFamers Sandy Koufax, CarlHubbell and Dizzy Dean.

The AL MVP has been won12 times by pitchers, startingwhen it was first presentedin 1931 to Lefty Grove.

Kershaw won the major

league season opener in Aus-tralia on March 22, thenmissed more than a monthwhen a strained upper backput him on the disabled list.

Featuring sharp breakingpitches, Kershaw came backto win his second straight NLCy Young and third in fouryears.

Kershaw led the bigleagues in complete gamesand was best among startersin strikeouts per nine in-nings and WHIP (walks plushits per inning).

The four-time All-Starstruck out 239 in 198 1-3 in-nings. On June 18, he threwthe first no-hitter of his ca-reer, at Dodger Stadiumagainst Colorado.

Trout received all 30 first-place votes and 420 points.Detroit designated hitter Vic-tor Martinez was second with229 points and Clevelandoutfielder Michael Brantleythird with 185.

Trout hit .287 and set ca-reer highs in home runs (36)and RBIs (111) while leadingthe major leagues in runswith 115 and extra-base hitswith 84. In his third full sea-son, he matched his bests indoubles (39) and triple (nine).

“The power’s definitelyup,” he said. “Getting a littleolder and a little stronger.”

Other numbers alsochanged. He led the AL with184 strikeouts and his stolenbases dropped to 16.

Trout was a unanimouspick as the 2012 AL Rookie ofthe Year and was second inMVP voting to Cabrera inboth of his first two full sea-sons, 81 points back in 2012and 103 points behind lastyear.

Trout is the fifth-youngestMVP, STATS said. Vida Blue(1971), Johnny Bench (1970)and Stan Musial (1943) were22 and Cal Ripken Jr. (1983)was a younger 23.

Kershaw and Trout wonthe last of baseball’s majorpostseason awards.

Just in time, too. Pitchersand catchers are due atspring training in only 98days.

Stylin’: Margins matters in college footballIn college football, it’s not

just about whether you winor lose. It’s about the finalscore, too — and how much ofa bump a comfortable marginof victory gives a team in theeyes of playoff judges.

Call them style points. Andthere’s no way to know pre-cisely how much they count.

Unbeaten Florida Statefound that out when itslipped behind Oregon (9-1)to third in the College Foot-ball Playoff rankings thisweek. One of the reasons cit-ed by selection committeechairman and Arkansas ath-letic director Jeff Long wasthe Seminoles’ close winsagainst Clemson and NotreDame compared to theDucks’ comfortable marginsagainst Michigan State,UCLA and Utah.

There is only so much acoach can do to control mar-gin of victory or defeat. Flori-da State’s Jimbo Fisher saidhe won’t go out of his way totack on an extra touchdownor two if the Seminoles havethat opportunity over thelast three weeks of the sea-son.

“I’m not going to changethe integrity of the way I dothings,” he said. “I’m hopingto hold the integrity of thegame higher than everybodyelse. If people on the commit-tee can’t see that, then that’sit. If it’s for us to score to winthe game or keep control ofit, then we’ll do that.”

Much like the Bowl Cham-pionship Series did, the Col-lege Football Playoff tries togive a nod to sportsmanshipby downplaying margin ofvictory and not rewarding

teams for running up thescore. The College FootballPlayoff selection committeeprotocol makes only onemention of margin of victory.

The BCS removed marginof victory from the computerrankings used in its stand-ings, though poll voters werefree to take it into account.And in the later years of theBCS, poll votes had far moreinfluence on which teamsplayed for the national titlethan computers.

The playoff uses a 12-member selection committeeto determine the four teamsthat will play for the nationaltitle. And they are keepingan eye on margin of victory.

Long said the committeebelieved the difference be-tween Oregon and FloridaState was very slight.

“But you look at FloridaState, they have two top 25wins, both at home, both veryclose, an overtime victoryversus Clemson and a rightdown to the wire victoryagainst Notre Dame. Yes,those factors went in, andthat gave us comparing thosetwo, it gave us a very slightedge to Oregon for the No. 2spot,” Long said.

The other much-debatedplacement in this week’srankings was TCU at No. 4and Baylor at No. 7. TheBears beat the Horned Frogslast month in Waco, Texas,but remain behind their Big12 rivals even after an im-pressive road victory againstOklahoma. Baylor beat theSooners 48-14 in Norman,Oklahoma. Earlier this sea-son, TCU beat Oklahoma 37-33 in Fort Worth, Texas.

“Certainly scores of gamesare a factor, and we do lookat those, and ... we do not re-ward teams’ excessive scor-ing, but we certainly have totake into effect the scores ofthe game,” Long said.

“We combined it witheverything else we had,again, body of work, strengthof schedule, all those things,and still feel like TCU is bet-ter quality at this point intime in the season.”

Much like the selectioncommittee protocol tries todownplay margin of victorywhile the members them-selves still pay attention toit, coaches tend to downplaytheir interest in the rankingswhile still paying attentionto them.

Arizona State coach ToddGraham noted that his team,now sixth in the playoffrankings, beat Notre Damemore decisively than FloridaState did. The Sun Devilsgrabbed a big lead, saw itdwindle, then spurted to a55-31 victory against theIrish. The Seminoles beatNotre Dame 31-27 after alate penalty wiped out anIrish touchdown.

“I think they should takeinto account that,” Grahamsaid about the Irish. “We stillhad a dominating victoryover them.”

As the coach of team witha 25-game winning streakthat has done nothing butdrop in various rankingssince the start of the season,Fisher sees it differently.

“I thought,” he said, “thename of the game was tokeep winning.”

ton heard about Still’sdaughter on a radio pro-gram while driving his car.

“Just hearing how theyhandled it was pretty inspi-rational,” Payton said thisweek, during a conferencecall with reporters inCincinnati. “It was reallyspontaneous and somethingI thought would be a goodgesture.”

Payton has some connec-tions with the Bengals. Hewas an assistant coach atMiami University in nearbyOxford, Ohio, in the 1990s

and knows the Brown fami-ly that owns the Bengals.His familiarity with theteam was a factor in decid-ing to support Still.

“I really wasn’t familiarwith Devon as a player andhave obviously becomemore familiar with him,”Payton said.

Still’s story has gotten alot of attention from playersaround the league as well.Browns quarterback BrianHoyer went up to him afterthe game on Thursdaynight to encourage him.

5 big drug mistakesYou have heartburn, a migraine

or back pain that won’t go away.You go to your doctor, and she pre-scribes a drug, which makes youfeel better. But sometimes you canend up taking a drug for manyyears. And then you might needanother drug for something else,and before you know it, the pillsstart piling up.

To reduce your reliance on med-ications, ShopSmart, the shoppingmagazine from the publisher ofConsumer Reports, recommendsavoiding these five common mis-takes:

1. Reaching for a quick pharma-ceutical fix. Many health problemscan be resolved without medication.Case in point: High blood pressureand high cholesterol are two of themost common reasons people takeprescription drugs. But somepatients are able to reach healthylevels without drugs by makinglifestyle changes such as gettingregular exercise, losing weight andquitting smoking. Alternative ther-apies might be just as effective asdrugs. Research has found thatacupuncture, exercise and massagecan help with some health prob-lems. Also, review your drugs withyour doctor or pharmacist once peryear to make sure that what you’retaking is still appropriate. And dis-cuss everything you’re taking —including vitamins and supple-ments.

2. Assuming that your doctor isminding your wallet. When shewrites you a prescription, your doc-tor usually doesn’t considerwhether you can afford the medica-tion. According to the latest drug-tracking poll by Consumer ReportsBest Buy Drugs, just 5 percent ofthe 2,014 adults surveyed who takemedication said they were told attheir doctor’s office what it wouldcost. Instead, most (61 percent) saidthey found out when they picked upthe prescription from a pharmacy.ShopSmart recommends tellingyour doctor that cost and effective-ness are important to you. Thenask about generics. Also ask abouteliminating drugs you no longerneed.

3. Relying on coupons. To save abuck, more folks than ever areusing manufacturer coupons for fre-

quently advertised drugs. Sure,they can make expensive brandnames seem more affordable, butthey also might steer you to drugsthat aren’t the best choice for you.And the discounts don’t necessarilymake those drugs your least expen-sive option, particularly when theinitial deal ends. Before starting ona brand-name drug, consider thelong-term expense and ask yourdoctor whether comparable gener-ics are available.

4. Always using your insurance.Don’t assume that health insuranceis the cheapest way to pay fordrugs. Sometimes it’s not! Forexample, you can get a month’sworth of the generic antidepressantfluoxetine (Prozac), 20 milligrams,for $4 at Sam’s Club, Target andWal-Mart. Without the store’s pre-scription discounts, you’ll pay anaverage of $31. Even with insur-ance, you’ll probably pay more than$4. So ask the pharmacist what the“cash” price is for a drug before youhand over your insurance card.Also, for long-term meds, try fillingprescriptions for 90 days instead of30, and you might save money.

5. Buying cheap meds onlinefrom Canada. Most “Canadian”websites aren’t actually Canadian,and ordering from them can berisky. You could end up taking med-ications that are counterfeit or havetoo much or too little of the activeingredient. Only 3 percent of the10,421 online pharmacies recentlyreviewed by the National Associa-tion of Boards of Pharmacyappeared to be legit.

Instead, ShopSmart says to stickwith the websites of drugstores youknow and trust. Make sure thatany online pharmacy you orderfrom is licensed, is in the U.S. andrequires you to submit prescrip-tions (some fake sites don’t!). Andcheck NABP’s website (nabp.net)for a list of safe pharmacies thatcarry the VIPPS (Verified InternetPharmacy Practice Sites) seal andthose that aren’t recommended. Ifyou fill expensive prescriptions ordon’t have insurance, ask your doc-tor or pharmacist about money-sav-ing options.

New statin guidelines recog-nize their expanded benefits

DEAR DOCTOR K: My doc-tor never recommendedstatins to me, but he saysthere are new guidelines, andthinks that I should now starttaking one. What do you thinkof the new statin guidelines?

DEAR READER: The newguidelines make a lot of sense,because we’ve learned thatstatins have more effects onthe body than just loweringcholesterol.

Statins were developedafter a Nobel Prize-winningdiscovery in the 1970srevealed how the body makescholesterol. Most of the choles-terol in our body is made byour body, not consumed in ourfood. Statins slow the produc-tion of LDL (“bad”) cholesterolby the body.

In the 1980s, studies

showed that statins dramati-cally lowered blood levels ofLDL cholesterol and also low-ered the risk of heart attack.At first, we assumed that thelower risk of heart attack wasentirely explained by thelower cholesterol. That’sbecause we knew that peoplewith high LDL cholesterol intheir blood had higher rates ofheart attack.

But then a large study con-ducted at Harvard MedicalSchool found that statins pro-foundly lower the risk of heartattack, even in people withnormal total and LDL choles-terol levels.

That’s because statins domore than just lower choles-terol. Heart attacks occurwhen cholesterol-filledplaques in the heart’s arteriesrupture, causing a clot thatblocks blood from getting to

the heart. Inflammationinside the plaques causesthem to rupture — and statinsreduce inflammation.

This realization changedthe way doctors think aboutstatins. If statins lower therisk of heart attack even inpeople with normal cholesterollevels, then we should givethem to people at high risk forheart attack — regardless oftheir cholesterol level.

The American Heart Associ-ation (AHA) and the AmericanCollege of Cardiology issuednew statin-prescribing guide-lines in November 2013. Untilthen, doctors prescribedstatins to reach specific choles-terol goals or targets. Instead,the new guidelines ask doctorsto prescribe statins based on apatient’s overall heart andartery disease risk.

Specifically, the new guide-

lines recommend that patientsin any of the following groupsbe treated with a statin:

— People who already haveheart or artery disease;

— People with very highlevels of LDL cholesterol (190mg/dL or higher);

— Anyone between the agesof 40 and 75 who has Type 2diabetes;

— Adults aged 40 to 75years who have a heart dis-ease or stroke risk of 7.5 per-cent or greater in the next 10years. You can get a sense ofyour risk by using the AHA’srisk assessment tool at:heart.org/gglRisk/main_en_US.html.

Of course, all drugs havesome risk. Statins can causemuscle cramps and, rarely,more serious muscle injuryand liver problems. It’s a mat-ter of balancing your personal

risks and benefits. For mostpeople covered by the newguidelines, I believe the bene-fits of statins are greater thanthe risks.

Although I don’t know thespecifics in your case, I’ll betthe reason your doctor now isrecommending statins is thatyou are at high risk for heartdisease, even though your cho-lesterol levels are not particu-larly high. If so, I would agree.

B I R M I N G H A M ,Ala. (AP) — AnAlabama womanaccused of runningher granddaughter todeath has asked anappeals court to dis-miss a capital mur-der charge againsther, citing potentialautopsy problemsand legal delays.

Lawyers for JoyceGarrard Hardin, 49,have filed paperswith the AlabamaCourt of CriminalAppeals saying theyfound numerousproblems with thestate’s autopsy of 9-year-old Savannah

Hardin in 2012.Hardin has been

jailed since Feb, 22,2012, accused ofmaking her grand-daughter run forhours as punishmentfor a lie about candy.Authorities have saidthe girl was exhaust-ed to the point of col-lapsing. She diedthree days later in ahospital.

The defense con-tends the child diedbecause of long-standing health prob-lems, adding testimo-ny about the girl’sphysical conditionand the autopsy

could be vital at trial.Those lawyers haveasked the appealscourt to order a cir-cuit judge in Alaba-ma’s Etowah County,William Ogletree, tothrow out the charge.

Hardin has plead-ed not guilty butfaces a possible deathpenalty if convicted.Her trial is set tobegin Feb. 12 inGadsden; two previ-ous trial dates werepushed back.

Prosecutors haveyet to respond to thedefense document,which was filed Oct.28 in Montgomery.

The document wasreleased by theappeals court Thurs-day at the request ofThe Associated Press.The state has untillater this month tofile an answer withthe appellate paneland is under a gagorder barring out-of-court comments.

A petition filed bythe defense contendsthe girl’s autopsy wasperformed by a doc-tor who was laterfired over allegationsthat included possi-ble falsification ofdocuments and dere-liction of duty. The

physician has sincefailed to testify inother cases and maynot be available totestify in Hardin’strial, the defenseargued in the docu-ment.

Hardin’s trial hasbeen delayed twicedespite defenseattempts to move thecase along, the attor-neys argued. Theysaid in their docu-ment that the post-ponements violatethe woman’s consti-tutional right to aspeedy trial.

Also, the defenseclaimed, Hardin is

suffering fromnumerous healthproblems in theEtowah County jailand should be freed.

Ogletree has previ-ously refused to dis-miss charges againstHardin.

The child’s step-mother is free onbond after beingcharged with murderfor allegedly failingto intervene whilethe girl was runningoutside Hardin’srural home.

7 p.m., only minutesafter PresidentBarack Obama andhis daughters, alongwith a guest of one ofthe girls, left theWhite House aboardMarine One on theirway to Camp David,the presidentialretreat in Marylandwhere Obama and hisfamily were to spendthe weekend. Firstlady Michelle Obamahad traveled separate-ly to Camp David andwas not at home.

The folly of errorsand missteps bySecret Service officerswere revealed in anine-page summary ofthe government’sinvestigation of thebreak-in at the WhiteHouse by a disturbedArmy veteran.

The governmentdetermined that lackof training, poorstaffing decisions and

communication prob-lems contributed tothe embarrassing fail-ure that ultimatelyled to the resignationof the head of theSecret Service, JuliaPierson. The reportdid not specify anydisciplinary actions.

The new report saidOmar Gonzalez, 42,cleared the fencewhere a trident, orornamental spike, wasmissing. An officer inthe joint operationscenter who tried toraise the alarm wasunaware his warningsweren’t being broad-cast to uniformed offi-cers stationed at theexecutive mansion.

Some officers at agate on PennsylvaniaAvenue failed to seethe fence-jumperbecause their viewwas obstructed by aconstruction project. ASecret Service canine

officer parked on theWhite House drivewaywas using the speakerfunction on his per-sonal cellphone with-out his radio earpiece, and a second,tactical radio wasstashed away in hislocker as the intrudermade his way into thesecure area.

Two officers wrong-ly assumed Gonzalezwouldn’t be able to getthrough thick busheson the property, thereport said. Anotherofficer posted on theportico outside thewooden White Housedoors mistakenlyassumed the doorswere locked.

The intruder wasable to run into thebuilding before afemale officer seatedjust inside could locka second set of doors.

That officer triedtwice to take Gonzalez

down but was unableto because she wassmaller than him. Shereached for her metalbaton but mistakenlygrabbed a flashlight.As she dropped thelight and drew hergun, the intrudermade his way into theEast Room beforeheading back down ahallway on the StateFloor deep within theWhite House.

Gonzalez was even-tually tackled byanother officer, whowas helped by twoplainclothes agentsjust finishing a shift,the report said.

Investigators alsosaid members of anemergency responseteam didn’t know thelayout of the WhiteHouse and hesitatedto go into the mansionafter the break-in.

Gonzalez has plead-ed not guilty in feder-

al court to charges ofunlawfully entering arestricted buildingwhile carrying a dead-ly weapon, which is afederal charge, andtwo violations of Dis-trict of Columbia law— carrying a danger-ous weapon outside ahome or business andunlawful possession ofammunition.

In the immediateaftermath of the inci-dent, the Secret Ser-vice reported thatGonzalez wasunarmed and appre-hended just inside thebuilding. But it dis-closed more than aweek later how farinto the building Gon-zalez actually went.

Acting Secret Ser-vice Director JosephClancy is expected totestify next week atan oversight hearingbefore the House Judi-ciary Committee.

Surgeon with Ebola coming to US for careFREETOWN, Sier-

ra Leone (AP) — Asurgeon working inSierra Leone has beendiagnosed with Ebolaand will be flown Sat-urday to the UnitedStates for treatment,officials from SierraLeone and the UnitedStates said.

Dr. Martin Saliawas to be taken toOmaha to be treatedat the Nebraska Med-ical Center, SierraLeone’s chief medicalofficer, Dr. BrimaKargbo, told The Asso-ciated Press on Fri-day. The U.S.Embassy in Freetownsaid Salia himself waspaying for the expen-sive evacuation. Hereportedly lives inMaryland.

The U.S. StateDepartment said

Thursday that Salia’swife, who also lives inMaryland, has askedthe State Departmentto investigate whetherhe is well enough tobe flown to Nebraska.

Salia is a generalsurgeon who had beenworking at KissyUnited MethodistHospital in the SierraLeone capital of Free-town. Patients, includ-ing mothers whohours earlier hadgiven birth, fled fromthe 60-bed hospitalafter news of theEbola case emerged,United MethodistNews reported.

The hospital wasclosed on Tuesdayafter Salia tested posi-tive and he was takento the Hastings EbolaTreatment Centernear Freetown, the

church news servicesaid. Kissy hospitalstaffers will be quar-antined for 21 days.

A Sierra Leone citi-zen, the 44-year-oldlives in Maryland andis a permanent U.S.resident, according toa person in the UnitedStates with directknowledge of the situ-ation. The person wasnot authorized torelease the informa-tion and spoke on con-dition of anonymity.

The doctor will bethe third Ebolapatient at the Omahahospital and the 10thperson with Ebola tobe treated in the U.S.The last, Dr. CraigSpencer, was releasedfrom a New York hos-pital on Tuesday.

The Nebraska Med-ical Center said

Thursday it had noofficial confirmationthat it would be treat-ing another patient,but that an Ebolapatient in SierraLeone would be evalu-ated for possibletransport to the hospi-tal. The patient wouldarrive Saturday after-noon.

Salia came downwith symptoms ofEbola on Nov. 6 buttest results were neg-ative for the deadlyvirus. He was testedagain on Monday, andhe tested positive.Salia is in stable con-dition at an Ebolatreatment center inFreetown. It wasn’tclear whether he hadbeen involved in thecare of Ebola patients.

Kissy is not anEbola treatment unit

but Salia worked at atleast three other med-ical facilities, UnitedMethodist News said,citing health ministrysources.

Sierra Leone is oneof the three WestAfrica nations hithard by an Ebola epi-demic this year. Fiveother doctors in SierraLeone have contractedEbola — and all havedied.

The disease haskilled more than 5,000people in West Africa,mostly in SierraLeona, Guinea andLiberia.

The hospital inOmaha is one of fourU.S. hospitals withspecialized treatmentunits for people withhighly dangerousinfectious diseases. Itwas chosen for the lat-

est patient becauseworkers at units atAtlanta’s Emory Uni-versity Hospital andthe National Insti-tutes of Health nearWashington are stillin a 21-day monitor-ing period.

Those two hospitalstreated two Dallasnurses who wereinfected while caringfor Thomas Eric Dun-can, a Liberian manwho fell ill with Ebolashortly after arrivingin the U.S. and laterdied.

The other eightEbola patients in theU.S. recovered, includ-ing the nurses. Fivewere American aidworkers who becameinfected in West Africawhile helping care forpatients there; onewas a video journalist.

Running death: Grandmother wants charge dismissed

Lawmakers move to strip former Nazis of benefitsW A S H I N G T O N

(AP) — A bipartisangroup of lawmakersintroduced legislationThursday to strip sus-pected Nazi war crim-inals of their SocialSecurity benefits,insisting Americantaxpayers should notbe underwriting theretirement of anyonewho participated inthe Third Reich’satrocities.

The Nazi SocialSecurity Benefits Ter-mination Act comes inresponse to an Associ-ated Press investiga-tion published inOctober that revealedmillions of dollars inbenefits have beenpaid to dozens of for-mer Nazis who wereforced out of the Unit-ed States. At leastfour are alive, livingin Europe on U.S.Social Security.

The legislationwould end benefits forNazi suspects whohave lost their Ameri-

can citizenship, a stepcalled denaturaliza-tion. U.S. law cur-rently requires ahigher threshold — afinal order of deporta-tion — before benefitscan be terminated. Acompanion bill toclose this so-calledloophole was intro-duced in the Senate.

Mike Long, aspokesman for HouseMajority LeaderKevin McCarthy, said“we’re eager to getthis done” during thelame-duck sessionthat will last until anew Congress beginsin late January.

AP’s investigationfound that the JusticeDepartment used theloophole to persuadeNazi suspects to leavethe U.S. in exchangefor Social Securitybenefits. If theyagreed to go voluntar-ily, or simply fled thecountry before beingdeported, they couldkeep their Social

Security benefits. TheJustice Departmentdenied using SocialSecurity payments asa tool for expellingformer Nazis.

“Our bill will elimi-nate the loophole thathas allowed Nazi warcriminals to collectSocial Security bene-fits,” Rep. CarolynMaloney, the bill’smain sponsor, said ina statement. “Weshould work in abipartisan and expe-ditious manner to ter-minate these benefitsonce and for all.”

Republican Reps.Jason Chaffetz ofUtah and LeonardLance of New Jerseyjoined with Maloneyto introduce the legis-lation. There are 11other co-sponsors.

“This is a matter ofprinciple,” Chaffetzsaid. “Taxpayersshould not be fundingthe retirement of warcriminals.”

The Senate bill is

sponsored by Sens.Bob Casey, D-Pa.,Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Bill Nelson,D-Fla.

The White Houseand the Social Securi-ty Administrationhave signaled supportfor denying benefitsto former Nazis. TheJustice Departmentsaid it is open to con-sidering proposalsthat would terminatethe Social Securitypayments.

“This legislation islong overdue, and weare pleased that law-makers in Congressare taking this seri-ously,” said AbrahamH. Foxman, nationaldirector of the Anti-Defamation League.

The legislationspecifically targetsindividuals who wered e n a t u r a l i z e dbecause of their rolesin the Nazi persecu-tion or lost their citi-zenship through asettlement agreement

with the JusticeDepartment. The billrequires the JusticeDepartment to notifythe Social SecurityAdministration oftheir identities andlocations so theagency can shut offtheir benefits.

The Justice Depart-ment and Social Secu-rity Administrationalso would berequired to submit areport to Congress sixmonths after the bill’senactment identifyingthe total number ofindividuals found tobe participants in theNazi persecution andthe total number ofindividuals whosebenefits were effec-tively revoked.

The Social SecurityAdministration hasrefused the AP’srequest for the overallnumber of Nazi sus-pects who receivedbenefits and the dol-lar amounts of thepayments.
