We do have National Guard on the ground here today, military police to protect property and people, and they will be all through this area, because a lot of this is fairly heavily populated areas where you have houses that are damaged enough, they can''t be occupied, so we''re going to have the National Guard with live ammunition making sure they''re protecting all of this against looting.

Anyway, we got in - the only safety I could figure out, maybe just get in the freezer, the walk-in freezer, and we got in the walk-in freezer and sat in there for about, probably, ten minutes, and came out - it was just really bad.

STORYLINE:
Tornadoes ripped through the southeast of the United States on Saturday, killing 10 people, including three children, in Mississippi and injuring more than a dozen others.
Roofs were torn off businesses, homes were splintered, vehicles were overturned and roads were blocked by toppled trees.
Five people were killed in Choctaw County, including two children, said a Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman.
Four victims were in Yazoo County and one was in Holmes County.
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour said the tornado had caused widespread damage to parts of the state, with Yazoo County the hardest hit.
He said the National Guard was on hand to safeguard damaged properties from looting.
Barbour said the death toll could have been a lot higher but the tornado did not strike the centre of Yazoo City.
A National Guard helicopter later took the governor on an aerial tour of the town.
The owner of Ribeye''s Steak House in Yazoo City, Mitchell Saxton, said everyone ran into a walk-in freezer when they realised the tornado was approaching.
Saxton''s restaurant was destroyed but no one was hurt.
One man said it sounded like the house was just going to explode, as he and his family hid in the closet.
More than 15 other counties in Mississippi were also damaged.
The swath of debris forced rescuers to pick up some of the injured on all-terrain vehicles in the west-central part of the state.
Thousands across the state were without electricity, and downed power lines and trees blocked roads.

How to Do a Mississippi Southern Accent | Accent Training
Watch more How to Do an Accent videos:
Here are some tips for your Mississippi southern accent. It's a romantic stereotype kind of accent, and it's southern drawn out. So you hear the musicality in some of the drawn out portions of it. The jaw is slightly elevated. So if you sigh through that oral posture, you have ahh. Ahh. Ahh. As opposed to your general American oral posture, which is uh, uh. A jaw that's a little bit more dropped.
So let's take a look at some sound changes. The diphthong I, that has two elements, I, ih, is drawn out and lengthened to one sound. Ahh. So my, time, I becomes my, time, I. But that's really the only one that goes to a pure sound. That ahh. Everything else turns into another diphthong. Another two element vowel. So the e sound turns into oi. Is he afraid to speak to me? There's that ahhn glide. Oi. Same thing with a. You want to elongate the first element. I. Play. Jake. Say. Give that a shot.
For that ih sound, that also turns into a diphthong. So hill, pen, chill becomes hill, pen, chill. So we would call this Mississippi southern accent a non-rhotic accent, meaning there are no r's. So you would say things like father, and drifter. Instead of father, and drifter. Also there is no elision in this accent. So you wouldn't say it's farther up. You would say it's farther up. Like that. So you wouldn't connect farther and up. You would say it's farther up. Give that a shot.
Very often in this Mississippi southern, we'll drop the ng sound at the ends of words. So you'll be swimmin', and sittin'. Instead of swimming, and sitting.
So what's the musicality of this accent? Well you hear it right now. It's very lengthened, and very slow southern drawl. So slow that you create diphthongs. You create two element vowels instead of pure vowel sounds.
So have some fun with that accent. This is, like I said, a romantic stereotype accent. But people still speak like this. So look on the internet. Look for some clips. And see what you find in the accent.

He Recalls The Black Church In The Civil Rights Movement
Lawrence Goyot was a great civil rights leader and back in 1964, an activist in Mississippi helping Black Americans to fill out all the forms so they could get the right to vote. I will be posting other clips from his interview, done by me in 1989, as a part of my 6 part PBS television series, Making Sense Of The Sixties. Back in the mid-sixties I did several films on the civil rights movement and found the black church totally supportive and many white churches equally supportive.

Little League Baseball and Softball
(officially, Little League Baseball, Incorporated) is a non-profit organization in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, United States which organizes local youth baseball and softball leagues throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world.
Founded by Carl Stotz in 1939 as a three-team league in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Little League Baseball encourages local volunteers to organize and operate Little League programs that are annually chartered through Little League International. Each league can structure itself to best serve the children in the area in which the league operates. Several specific divisions of Little League baseball and softball are available to children ages 5 to 18. The organization holds a congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code.
The organization's administrative office is located in South Williamsport. The first Little League Baseball World Series was played in Williamsport in 1947. The Little League International Complex hosts the annual Little League Baseball World Series at Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Little League Volunteer Stadium, and is also the site of the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum, which provides a history of Little League Baseball and Softball through interactive exhibits for children.
History
Carl Stotz, a resident of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, founded Little League Baseball in 1939. He began experimenting with his idea in the summer of 1938 when he gathered his nephews, Jimmy and Major Gehron and their neighborhood friends. They tried different field dimensions over the course of the summer and played several informal games. The following summer Stotz felt that he was ready to establish what later became Little League Baseball. The first league in Williamsport had just three teams, each sponsored by a different business. The first teams, Jumbo Pretzel, Lycoming Dairy, and Lundy Lumber were managed by Carl Stotz and two of his friends, George and Bert Bebble. The men, joined by their wives and another couple, formed the first-ever Little League Board of Directors. Stotz' dream of establishing a baseball league for boys to teach fair play and teamwork had come true.
The first League game took place on June 6, 1939. Lundy Lumber defeated Lycoming Dairy, 23-8. Lycoming Dairy came back to claim the league championship. They, the first-half-season champions, defeated Lundy Lumber, the second-half champs, in a best-of-three season-ending series. The following year a second league was formed in Williamsport, and from there Little League Baseball grew to become an international organization of nearly 200,000 teams in every U.S. state and over 80 countries around the world.
From 1951 through 1974, Little League was for boys only. In 1974, Little League rules were revised to allow participation by girls in the baseball program following the result of a lawsuit filed by the National Organization for Women on behalf of Maria Pepe.

On a personal note...
I had the opportunity and honor to meet this Brotha. He was one of my unofficial mentors and, next to Malcolm X, had the greatest intellectual, mental and spiritual influence on my life and who I am today. It would be a crime for Black people not dive into and devour the priceless material he left for us. It would be an even bigger crime for future generations not to know who this great man was.
R.I.P. Great Ancestor.

The FDA, Vaping, and You
Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Since 2009, FDA has regulated cigarettes, smokeless, and roll-your-own tobacco. FDA finalized a rule, effective August 8, 2016, to regulate all tobacco products, including electronic nicotine delivery systems.
Despite this, many of the vaping products available are not in compliance with the current regulations. On Monday, the FDA issued a warning letter to JUUL Labs for marketing unauthorized tobacco products, specifically to youth.
Recently Dr. Philip Corcoran of Suburban Hospital's Cardiothoracic and Vascular Clinic at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda spoke with us about the need for more complete regulation of vaping and juuling. He says the health risks, especially for youth, need to be identified.
Experts from across Montgomery County will appear on MCM Connects: Our Vaping Crisis, a program to be broadcast on MCM Channels 19, 21 and 995 and live-streamed on mcmlive.org, Monday, September 16 at 7 p.m. They will discuss what parents, schools, law enforcement, small business, and the medical community are up against and what this community can do to help stop this rapidly growing problem.

Mississippi's Free State of Jones | MPB
Did Jones County, Mississippi really secede from the Confederacy during the Civil War? Did a band of armed men, led by one Newt Knight, really seize control of large parts of the county and surrounding area, abolishing the local government?
And who was this Newt Knight? A cowardly deserter? A latter-day Robin Hood? Or a pro-union, anti-slavery crusader?
An MPB original documentary, “Mississippi’s Free State of Jones” is the story of Jones County’s controversial Knight-errant, the rebellion he led, and the consequences of his actions, both then and now. With commentary by Civil War historians and members of Knight’s family, we search for the truth behind the legend, and for what that truth says to us today.
