OTHER EDITORS Obamacare’s new customer Politics sometimes presents gifts that are too tantalizing to ignore. It happened this week when U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Tex- as, the first declared candidate for the 2016 Republican nomination, confirmed he and his family will sign up for medical coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Ever since arriving in the Senate two years ago, Cruz has been a leader among Republicans who want to repeal the government health care law, better known as Obamacare. In his first year on the job, Cruz led a Senate filibuster that shut down the government in a failed attempt to remove funding for the program. Since Cruz became a senator, his wife’s employer in Texas has paid the family’s insurance costs, but she is taking a leave of absence from her job while he seeks the nomination. Cruz told CNN this week that the new health care laws have effectively closed the individual insurance market, so he will use Obamacare for coverage even though he continues to oppose the law. A Cruz staffer said afterward that the senator will decline a “government contribution” that the law allows for members of Congress and their WASHINGTON staffs if they get insurance under the Af- fordable Care Act. It turns out that the Cruz family’s Inexcusable wackiness in the Senate decision to accept Affordable Care Act coverage is just one of several ways that President Obama got it though neither is germane this now-burdensome bird metaphor, the senator and President Obama have two-thirds right when he to the Lynch nomination Durbin’s vote against Condoleezza followed parallel paths, even though their said that the delayed con- — or necessarily apt in Rice for secretary of state 10 years beliefs are totally opposite. firmation of his attorney this particular piece of leg- ago.

The big factor is that as of the recording date each month, which falls on the 12th, many, if not most, of the colleges and universities have not started classes, so those students are considered unemployed at that time. When school starts again, those students come off the unemployment rolls and that skews the statis- tics.

BY BRANDON WALKER [email protected]

STARKVILLE — One of the first promises new Mississippi State men’s basketball coach Ben Howland made to fans Tuesday was to “put together one of the best coaching staffs in America.” That staff began to come together Wednesday, a day after Howland’s introductory news conference. Two days after Howland agreed to a four-year, $8.20 million contract, reports late Wednesday said he is making progress filling his staff. According to a report by ESPN.com’s Jeff Goodman, Howland will retain current MSU Brooks Mississippi State Athletic Media Relations assistant George Brooks and Mississippi State sophomore left-hander Alexis Silkwood threw a no-hitter in Game 1 of the team’s doubleheader bring in former colleagues Korey sweep of Southern Mississippi on Wednesday in Hattiesburg.
