Nine months after form-ing, the Downtown Part-ners advisory panel is close to choosing a logo and is taking new suggestions to build as a downtown advi-sory panel.

“I think we’re coming together,” said H.C. Porter, a panel member and artist who designed a logo, the final design of which had not been chosen by Tues-day night’s meeting. “I hope this (logo) will define our community in a way to bring people together to show some pride in the city, so as we travel, we can have a symbol that people can begin to recognize Vicksburg.”

Porter and about six of the panel members agreed on an image featuring the letter V and an image of the cupola atop the Old Court

House Museum, but they had not nailed down such details as the font for the type.

The image will be avail-able for residents to use in promoting the city. Talks with the Vicksburg Conven-tion and Visitors Bureau to help fund the logo project

are ongoing, Porter said.Meanwhile, Wayne Mans-

field, executive director of the Warren County Eco-nomic Development Foun-dation, offered the panel suggestions on which cities and towns are best for site

By Shelia ByrdThe Associated Press

JACKSON — Gov. Haley Barbour and key lawmak-ers have set a “cau-tiously prudent” revenue estimate for the next budget year, citing pre-dictions that the state’s economy will lag behind any national recovery.

Barbour and the Joint Legislative Budget Commit-tee, which met on Tuesday, also revised the revenue estimate for the current fiscal year, increasing it by $46 million.

Officials were acting on the recommendations of

a committee led by state economist Darrin Webb, who says it will take years

to fully recover economic ground lost during the recession.

The fiscal year 2012 budget esti-mate is nearly $4.6 billion, a 1.3 percent increase over the current year. The fiscal year begins

July 1.Barbour said he was

reluctantly agreeing with the recommendation, which Webb described as “cautiously prudent.” The estimate will help guide lawmakers as they begin

OBAMA AT G-20

Strong U.S. economy‘key’ to global recovery

By The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — President Barack Obama said a strong, job-creating economy in the United States would be the coun-try’s most important contribution to a global recovery as he pleaded with world leaders to work together despite sharp differences.

Arriving in South Korea today for the G-20 summit, Obama is expected to find himself on the defensive because of plans by the Fed-

eral Reserve to buy $600 bil-lion in long-term government bonds to try to drive down interest rates, spur lending and boost the U.S. economy.

Some other nations com-plain that the move will give Ameri-can goods an unfair advantage.

In a letter sent Tues-day to leaders

of the Group of 20 major

economic powers, Obama defended the steps his administration and Con-gress have taken to help the

String of house burglariesreported in south countyBy Ben [email protected]

Four house burglaries reported Tuesday in south Warren County are the latest in a string of 10 thefts south of Interstate 20 this month, Sheriff Martin Pace said.

“We cannot say for sure

that the burglaries are related,” he said this morn-ing, “but there are indica-tors suggesting that.”

In each of Tuesday’s burglaries, a door was smashed in and burglars took electronics. In one, jewelry was taken, and

River Region’s CEO leaving after two years on jobFrom staff reports

Vance Reynolds, the chief executive officer of River Region Medical Center, announced this morning that he was resigning the post he has held for two years to take a similar position in his hometown of Sherman, Texas.

“While this is an exciting pro-

fessional and personal opportu-nity,” Reynolds said in a state-ment, “it was a difficult decision because I have fully enjoyed working with River Region’s out-standing board, employees, phy-sicians and volunteers.”

Reynolds, who has been in health care management for 12 years, was hired by River Region

from Chesterfield General Hospi-tal in Cheraw, S.C., in December 2008, to replace Phillip Clendenin.

He is scheduled to leave Dec. 10.River Region is staffed by 1,600

employees. It has 372 licensed beds and 119 active physicians. The medical center operates most local medical care clinics and services.

In July, the medical center said it was on solid financial footing for the first time in its eight years of operations, reporting that 2009 expenses were down 13.1 per-cent from 2008, and the hospital’s EBITDA — a profitability metric referring to a firm’s earnings

dUI CONvICTIONSfrom court reports

KATIE CARTER•The Vicksburg PosT

A track hoe removes built-up silt and mud from City Front Tuesday morning. “As the river recedes, we try to keep it accessible,” said City Public Works Director Bubba Rainer. “You can do it with a fire hose, but at some

point you have to use heavy equipment.” When the river is up, it deposits mud and silt along the banks that stays as the water recedes. The river level Tuesday was 9.7 feet; flood level is 43 feet.

Vickie McCray, 42, 2418 Halls Ferry Road, is accused of using a stolen credit card on Oct. 27, 2008, to purchase $433.66 in items at stores around Vicksburg.

The card has been reported missing at Rainbow Casino, where McCray worked, Stew-art said. She was arrested at 8:51 a.m. Tuesday during a traffic stop on Interstate 20, after a records check showed a warrant for her arrest.

McCray was being held on $10,000 bond, Stewart said.

State college board mulls changes to wish-list methodJACKSON (AP) — The state col-

lege board likely will change how it ranks campus improvement projects that appear on its annual legislative wish list.

For years, the Board of Trustees of the State Institutions of Higher

Learning has submitted a system-wide ranking of facility needs based on a scale that emphasizes fac-tors such as safety needs and legal obligations.

But often the list has contradicted requests coming directly from cam-

puses through presidents and other lobbyists.

The board will consider a proposal at its regular meeting next week to let universities’ opinions lead and ditch the priority scale.

Board member Doug Rouse said he

feels the university presidents know best what their campuses need.

The board is made up of 12 mem-bers, including a president and vice president, plus a commissioner.

It helps govern and direct policy for the Mississippi’s eight public univer-

sities — Alcorn State, Jackson State, Delta State, Mississippi State, the University of Mississippi, the Univer-sity of Southern Mississippi, Missi-sippi University for Women and Mis-sissippi Valley State University.

Jackson woman found dead in truck in OhioGROVE CITY, Ohio (AP)

— A Jackson, Miss., woman reported missing in Ohio was found dead Tuesday in a pickup parked at a Columbus-area fast food restaurant.

Police in Grove City said the death of 54-year-old Debra L. Zane is suspicious, though an

autopsy showed no obvious signs of foul play.

Investigators say the woman was last seen Oct. 20 while vis-iting family in the Columbus area with her teenage son.

Grove City Police Capt. Steve Robinette said the body was found in the truck early Tues-

day outside a Wendy’s/Tim Hortons restaurant.

Employees told police the pickup with tinted windows had been in the parking lot for days.

The coroner was awaiting further test results before ruling on the cause of death.

Jindal book rips Obama on spill,mum on governor’s ambitions

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal calls the Obama administra-tion “lackadaisical” in its Gulf oil spill response in his new book “Leadership and Crisis,” laying out his views on every-thing from health care to energy policy while keeping silent on whether he harbors presidential ambitions.

Criticism of Democratic President Barack Obama for the federal disaster opens Jindal’s 311-page book set for nationwide release next week as speculation turns to those Republicans who might chal-lenge Obama in 2012.

Part autobiography, part con-servative manifesto, the book charts the rise of the 39-year-old son of Indian immigrants to the Louisiana governorship but makes no hints whether he’ll run for the White House. But throughout the pages, Jindal — a Republican in the governor’s office since 2008 — describes his vision for the GOP on positions from fed-eral spending to education and crisis management.

Long seen as a conservative star, Jindal has tough words on immigration, saying all immigrants should learn Eng-lish, the United States should continue construction of a border fence with Mexico and employers who hire illegal workers should be punished.

“I have no problem imposing American values on people who want to become Amer-icans. Freedom, hard work, self-reliance and rugged indi-vidualism are values all Amer-icans should embrace,” Jindal

writes.A Brown University grad-

uate and former Rhodes Scholar, Jindal describes him-self as an evangelical Catholic and criticizes the “intellectual elite” who he says snub people with religious beliefs.

But it’s the Obama admin-istration’s response to the oil disaster that prompts Jindal’s harshest words. He writes that Obama was too trusting of BP, bureaucrats and so-called “experts” in dealing with the April 20 Deepwater Horizon disaster and didn’t react quickly enough.

“You would think follow-ing the withering criticism of President Bush during Hur-ricane Katrina that the fed-eral response this time would have been swift and sure. You would have thought that a White House so concerned about its image would have been all over this,” Jindal writes.

“Leadership and Crisis” by Gov. Bobby Jindal

‘lEAdERShIP ANd CRISIS’

At a glanceAmong other points cov-ered in Gov. Bobby Jindal’s book:• Jindal describes his first unsuccessful bid for gov-ernor in 2003, including a paltry fundraiser in which one person showed up. “To put it mildly, there were a few skeptics of my campaign. The son of In-dian immigrants running for governor in the Deep South?”• Chiding what he calls fed-eral intrusion into health care, Jindal describes the heart defect of his son Shaan, who had surgery in 2004. Jindal suggest-ed that in a government-run system, a bureaucrat would have been able to keep the Jindals from the surgeon they wanted. Jin-dal says he believes health care is a right, but that expansion of coverage should be private sector-driven.• Jindal writes that Repub-licans have become “Dem-ocrats Lite,” supporting large spending because of fear they’ll be called uncar-ing of the needy.• Even as he says conser-vatives need to embrace green energy options, Jindal says fossil fuels will dominate the energy sup-ply for the future.

WASHINGTON — On Nov. 2, Rand Paul, Republican senator-elect from Kentucky, accepted rounds of congratulations, many of which came from establishment Republicans who had opposed his Tea Party-backed candidacy. In a rousing victory speech, he told his supporters that Tea Partiers had sent a message:

“We’ve come to take our govern-ment back ... from the special inter-ests who think that the federal gov-ernment is their own ATM. ... This Tea Party movement is a message to Washington that we’re unhappy and that we want things done differently.”

But by the time Paul claimed vic-tory, he had already been co-opted by a business-backed GOP in ser-vice to several of the “special inter-ests” that Paul denounced. The libertarian-leaning Paul — the one who had targeted foreign nation-building and military spend-ing right along with welfare and entitlement programs — was long gone, replaced by a candidate much more in keeping with mainstream Republican interests.

Will the Tea Partiers change the

GOP? Not in any way that mat-ters. The confrontational, brook-no-compromise activism of the Tea Party has pushed the GOP further to the right; the old guard, mindful of intraparty challenges, will court Tea Party activists with superficial policy changes and fiery rhetoric that pays tribute to a warped read-ing of the U.S. Constitution.

There will be inevitable flare-ups between the clubby old guard and the Tea Party newcomers. But cable news chatter about those tensions will exaggerate their importance.

It doesn’t mean much when Karl Rove is forced to backtrack on remarks dismissing Tea Partiers as less than “sophisticated.” Behind

the scenes, Rove is still working hand-in-glove with the establish-ment Republican Party to enact policies that look much the same as those in favor under George W. Bush: lower taxes and less regula-tion without any significant reduc-tion in government spending. And Tea Party activists will embrace that agenda.

For all the headlines generated by the Tea Party movement over the last year and a half, there is noth-ing new about its ideology. In April, The New York Times published a survey outlining the beliefs of the 18 percent of Americans who sup-port the Tea Party, a group that tends to be middle-class, white and

older.They are mostly ultraconserva-

tive Republicans. They may be frus-trated with the mainstream GOP, but they’ve aimed more of their fire at Democrats than Republicans. In Georgia, for example, it’s no sur-prise that Julianne Thompson, state coordinator for the Atlanta-based Tea Party Patriots, is a longtime activist in Republican politics.

Even the extremism of some Tea Partiers is recycled, borrowed from the paranoid right of the 1950s, when John Birchers nearly took control of the Republican Party. In a recent New Yorker piece, Sean Wilentz traced much of the faux history disseminated by Glenn Beck, who provides the Tea Par-tiers with an intellectual frame-work, back to an obscure writer named Willard Cleon Skousen — so radically right-wing that even J. Edgar Hoover regarded him as a nut.

While the Tea Party movement is a big tent sheltering a wide range of views, it still includes some who want to abolish the Federal Reserve, the Department of Edu-cation, Social Security and Medi-

care. In fact, Harry Reid’s opponent, Sharron Angle, endorsed much of that.

But for all the supposed Tea Party anger about government spend-ing, most of its supporters tend to favor entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, according to The New York Times. And they don’t seem aggravated by the Pentagon’s budget, either.

Why would they be? According to the Times, 57 percent of them hold a favorable opinion of George W. Bush, whose tax cuts, two unfunded wars and massive increase in enti-tlement spending — the Medicare prescription drug plan — wrecked the federal budget. Meanwhile, however, more than half the Tea Partiers told the Times that Obama’s policies — which they con-sider “socialist” — favor the poor.

This really isn’t a new blend of tea, after all. It’s the same brew of ultraconservative ideology that’s been served on the right for decades.

This really isn’t a new blend of tea, after all. It’s the same brew of ultraconservative ideology that’s been served on the right

for decades.

RepublicansIn November 2008, Illinois Sen.

Barack Obama defeated Arizona Sen. John McCain to become the 44th president. Democrat Obama entered the general election campaign with vast advantages over his Republican rival. McCain’s career-long efforts to define himself as a maverick were either ignored or rejected by most voters, with polls showing he was considered a doppelganger of incum-bent GOP President George W. Bush. Given Bush’s immense unpopular-ity, the collapse of the U.S. economy on his watch and the big influx of young voters excited about the pros-pect of electing an African-American as president, an Obama rout seemed possible.

Instead, he won 52.9 percent of the popular vote — about nine of every 17 cast in the election. The 2008 presi-dential election was thus another affirmation of how closely divided Americans are when it comes to par-tisanship and ideology. The results were not a tub-thumping endorse-ment of one side or the other.

Nevertheless, Obama and Demo-

cratic congressional leaders Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi chose to inter-pret the 2008 results as a broad man-date for an unprecedented increase in government spending and a sharp expansion of the government’s role in health care. However history judges this decision, the resulting trillion-dollar-plus annual deficits and the adoption of a huge overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system are broadly unpopular — a verdict con-firmed by the Nov. 2 election results, in which Republicans took back con-trol of the House with seats to spare and made gains in the Senate.

Now GOP leaders must not make the same mistake as Obama, Reid and Pelosi by claiming a broad man-date for their ideological agenda. A re-examination of the healthcare overhaul is inevitable and makes sense, given its deep flaws.

Concerns about heavy spending are absolutely justified, given that we are on course to spend 20 percent of the budget just to cover the interest on the national debt. These are moves that we believe most moderates

and many Democrats will welcome. But in the larger picture, incoming House Speaker John Boehner and Senate GOP leader Mitch McCon-nell need to understand that Amer-ica is fundamentally a centrist nation and that Americans will resist huge changes imposed without a support-ive national consensus.

They also need to internalize the fact that polls show Republican law-makers are held in as low regard as Democratic lawmakers — and that they, too, could be turned out if they don’t have a constructive record over the next two years.

Perhaps it is Pollyannaish to assume bipartisan problem-solving is possible in this bitterly divided era, but it is badly needed. The economy remains in terrible condition and joblessness is far too high. Changing this picture is the change that Ameri-cans are ready to believe in. We hope everyone in Washington under-stands this — starting with Obama and Boehner.

Thousands on cruise get Spam, a slow towSAN DIEGO (AP) — The

former fun seekers of the Car-nival Splendor are cruising again — but just barely.

In a scenario likely none of its more than 3,000 passengers pictured when they planned their seven-day jaunt on the Mexican Riviera, the disabled cruise liner was being towed to San Diego by tugboats. Instead of a lavish seafood buffet, passengers were sub-sisting on Spam.

After two days adrift, the ship began moving again Tuesday when the first of several Mex-ican tugboats arrived. Rock-ing gently with the waves, the ship was pulled along slowly with a Coast Guard boat along one side and the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier on the ship’s other side. There were no visible signs of damage.

The 952-foot vessel was expected to arrive in San Diego on Thursday night, Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines said in a statement.

The ship was 200 miles south of San Diego and about 44 miles off shore when an engine room fire Monday morning killed its power and set it adrift.

No one was hurt, but the nearly 4,500 passengers and crew were left without air conditioning, hot water, cell

phone or Internet service. The ship’s auxiliary power allowed for working toilets and cold water.

U.S. Navy Seahawk helicop-ters were ferrying supplies, including Spam, crab meat, croissants and Pop Tarts to the ship from the USS Ronald Reagan, an aircraft carrier that reached the Splendor after it was diverted from training maneuvers to help.

The Splendor only had enough food to last through

midday Tuesday because refrigerators on the ship stopped working after the power was knocked out, Navy Commander Greg Hicks said. But thousands of pounds of food were delivered by Tues-day night.

The U.S. Coast Guard and Mexican Navy also sent resources to the ship.

The tugboats were origi-nally set to take the Splendor to Ensenada, Mexico, but the cruise line changed its plans and will attempt to have it towed to San Diego, where hotel and flight arrangements would await the passengers, Carnival said.

If the process moves too slowly, it might still be taken to Ensenada, the statement said.

Feds: Woman illegally firedover Facebook remarks

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Connecticut woman who was fired after she posted disparag-ing remarks about her boss on Facebook has prompted a first-of-its-kind legal case by federal authorities who say her com-ments are protected speech under labor laws.

The National Labor Rela-tions Board alleges that Amer-ican Medical Response of Connecticut Inc. illegally fired Dawnmarie Souza from her job as an emer-gency medical technician late last year after she criticized her supervisor on her personal Facebook page and then traded Facebook mes-sages about the negative com-ments with other employees.

The complaint, filed Oct. 27 by the board’s Hartford, Conn., regional office, could set a prec-edent for employers to heed as more workers use social net-working sites to share details about their jobs.

“It’s the same as talking at the water cooler,” said Lafe Solomon, the board’s acting general counsel. “The point is that employees have protec-tion under the law to talk to each other about conditions at work.”

Federal labor law has long protected employees against reprisal for talking to co-work-ers on their own time about their jobs and working condi-tions, including remarks that might be critical of managers.

The law applies whether or not workers are covered by a union.

NLRB officials claim the Con-necticut ambulance company has an unlawful policy that pro-hibits employees from making disparaging remarks about supervisors and depicting the company “in any way” over the Internet without permission.

The trou-ble for Souza started when her supervi-sor asked her to prepare an investigative report when a customer com-plained about h e r wo r k , according to the complaint. Souza claimed she was denied representation

by her union, the Teamsters Local 443.

Later that day, Souza logged onto her Facebook page from a home computer and wrote: “Looks like I’m getting some time off. Love how the company allows a 17 to be a supervisor.”

A 17 is the code the company uses for a psychiatric patient. Souza also referred to her supervisor with two expletives. Her remarks drew supportive Facebook postings from other colleagues.

John Barr, an attorney for the company, said the real reason Souza was fired was because of two separate complaints about her “rude and discourteous ser-vice” within a 10-day period. He said Souza would have been fired whether the Facebook comments were made or not.

‘It’s the same as talking at the water cooler. The point is that employees

have protection under the law to talk to each other

about conditions at work.’

Feds propose graphic cigarette warning labelsRICHMOND, Va. (AP) —

The federal government hopes new larger, graphic warn-ing labels for cigarettes that include images of corpses, cancer patients, and diseased lungs and teeth will help snuff out tobacco use.

The images are part of a new push announced by the Food and Drug Administra-tion and the Department of Health and Human Services today to reduce tobacco use, which is responsible for about 443,000 deaths per year.

The number of Ameri-cans who smoke has fallen

dramatically over the past 40 years, but those declines have stalled recently. About 46 million adults in the U.S., or 20.6 percent, smoke ciga-rettes, along with 19.5 percent of high school students.

The new prevention plan is part of the law passed in June 2009 giving the FDA authority to regulate tobacco, includ-ing marketing and labeling guidelines, banning certain products and limiting nico-tine. The law doesn’t let the FDA ban nicotine or tobacco entirely.

“Today, FDA takes a crucial

step toward reducing the tre-mendous toll of illness and death caused by tobacco use by proposing to dramatically change how cigarette pack-ages and advertising look in this country,” FDA Commis-sioner Margaret Hamburg said.

The FDA is proposing 36 labels for public comment, which include phrases like “smoking can kill you” and “cigarettes cause cancer,” but also feature graphic images to convey the dangers of tobacco use.

After the spill

Panel says management culture to blameWAshiNGtON (Ap) — It

wasn’t just the botched tech-nical decisions. BP and other companies’ management, com-munication and overconfidence in dealing with risk led to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, investi-gators for the presidential com-mission said Tuesday.

The commission’s chief engi-neer, Richard Sears, outlined seven managerial findings, including muddled lines of authority and a compounding cascade of small problems that ultimately caused 11 people to die and millions of gallons of oil to spill.

“This is something that built over hours if not days, weeks, months. The companies involved each had data. They were each responsible for oper-ations, and if data had been shared differently and opera-tions had been carried out dif-ferently, I believe this disaster could have been prevented,” Sears said. “And for whatever reason...it didn’t happen that way, and it’s sad.”

Investigators, experts and

panel members said Tuesday BP too often operated on the fly in the closing days of work on its doomed Gulf oil well.

They said the company was hurried and made confusing, last-minute changes to plans that were unusual in the com-plex environment of deep water. They said BP could have oper-ated more safely if the com-pany took the time to get the

necessary equipment.“We are aware of what

appeared to be a rush to com-pletion,” commission co-chair-man William K. Reilly said. What is unclear, he said, is what drove people to determine they could not wait for equipment and materials to perform oper-ations more safely.

Lawyers investigating the April 20 disaster for the com-

mission said they would exam-ine a series of steps where deci-sions saved time or money and could have increased risks. But the panel’s chief counsel, Fred H. Bartlit Jr. repeated that there was no evidence that anyone involved in drilling the well consciously chose cost cut-ting over safety.

The panel’s leaders made clear Tuesday that the find-ings in sum exposed a lack of safety culture on the rig, with Reilly blasting all three compa-nies — BP, Halliburton Co. and Transocean — as “laggards” in the industry and in “need of top-to-bottom reform.”

The reforms suggested by the commission included improv-ing communication between the operating company, in this case BP, and its contractors.

The panel’s also said there needed to be clearer proce-dures for closing a well.

“There didn’t seem to be a lot of rigor as to how these end-of-well operations were man-aged,” said Sears, a 30-year vet-eran of Shell.

More shell eggs addedto Cal Maine’s recall

JACKsON (Ap) — Cal-Maine Foods Inc., the nation’s biggest egg seller and distrib-utor, is adding another 120 dozen shell eggs to a volun-tary recall announced Friday.

The Jackson-based com-pany said Tuesday that the eggs may possibly be contami-nated with salmonella enterit-idis. The recall announcement comes four days after Cal-Maine said it found out one of its suppliers had a sample test positive for salmonella enteritidis.

Salmonella can cause seri-ous and sometimes fatal infec-tions in young children, frail or elderly people and those with weakened immune sys-tems. Symptoms can include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomit-ing and abdominal pain.

The eggs included in the updated recall announce-ment made Tuesday were sold under Pippin Loose Medium with a sell by/expiration date of Nov. 7. The plant number was 1457, with a Julian date of 282.

Cal-Maine said individu-als who believe they may have purchased eggs poten-tially affected by the recall should not eat them and bring

them back to the store they were purchased at for a full refund.

Cal-Maine said Friday that it was informed by the Food & Drug Administration that supplier Ohio Fresh Eggs LLC of Croton, Ohio, had a routine environmental study sample that tested positive for salmo-nella enteritidis. The updated Tuesday announcement involves the same supplier.

Cal-Maine said it had pur-chased about 24,000 dozen unprocessed eggs from Ohio Fresh that were processed and repackaged by its Green Forest, Ark., plant between Oct. 9 and 12.

The eggs involved, which were not produced from Cal-Maine flocks, were distributed to food wholesalers and retail-ers in Arkansas, California, Illi-nois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. There have been no confirmed sal-monella enteritidis illnesses related to the purchased eggs, the company said.

Shares of Cal-Maine Foods climbed $1.55, or 5.2 percent, to $31.15 in midday trading. Over the past year, the stock has traded between $25.90 and $38.88.

Q: I am 66, single and retired with a $2,000-a-month pension, not Social Security qualified, Medicare A&B covered as well as health insurance. I have about $300,000 invested, age/risk appropriate, and other than a little arthritis, I’m very healthy. I own my own home outright with about $2,000 in taxes. The home is valued any-where from $150,000 to $190,000

in this small town. I have no debt of any kind and live well within my means. My car is 2009,

and I owe nothing on it. I cov-ered my final expenses years ago and carry a very small life insurance policy fully paid up through my federal employ-ment. I think I have my bases covered. My home is lovely: three bedrooms, 1,250 square feet and with a fairly large yard. It’s in a good neighbor-hood. I want a smaller single-level with a garage, preferably not a condo. A newer, smaller house would cost more than my current house even though some of the upkeep is less, and taxes and insurance would be the same. I think you can see the problem. I do not want to enter into a mortgage situa-tion at my age and income. Is there something you can tell me that I can’t see? It basi-cally comes to quality of life. I am not ready to rent or move to the senior facility, but I see the benefit of making a move before one has to. I really have no one to bounce this off of, so I hope you can read between the

lines and give me some ideas. My three children all live up to four hours away, and there is really not even a reason to stay in this town. I do not desire to live in close proximity to my children. I thank you in advance. — C.S., via e-mail

A: Looks to me that you’re in pretty decent shape financially, but I wonder why you say “you are not ready to rent.” Why not? Renting in today’s world can have remarkable benefits. You mentioned you have some-where between $150,000 and $190,000 in your home, which is fully paid for. Let us take the loan number of $150,000. That number, even in today’s world, just taking a modest risk in good, solid corporate instruments, should throw you somewhere around $7,000 a year. That $7,000 very likely would go a long way toward renting a smaller home, and you don’t have to worry about the major problems that home ownership can deliver. In my opinion, you would be far better off to do that. Now I do recognize that this is a lousy market to be selling your house in, and you may have to put that move off for a couple of years, but it doesn’t hurt to list it. If someone wants it badly, they will take it, and if nobody takes it, no blood. I wouldn’t even consider going into a new mortgage or put-ting the greatest portion of the asset of the home into another home. You take a look at the market. It won’t last forever, but then again, neither will you or I. But in my opinion, you should seriously consider first selling, then renting.

Oil companies increasingly eye natural gasNeW YOrK (Ap) — Pretty

soon, Big Oil will be more like Big Gas.

The major oil companies are increasingly betting their futures on natural gas, with older oil fields producing less crude and newer ones either hard to reach or controlled by unfriendly nations.

They are focusing more than ever on natural gas because it burns cleaner than oil and is gaining traction as a fuel for transportation. The latest move came Tuesday, when Chevron made a $4.3 billion deal to buy up natural gas

fields in the Northeast.Earlier this year, Exxon

Mobil bought XTO Energy to become America’s largest producer of natural gas. And Royal Dutch Shell expects nat-ural gas to make up half its total global production in two years.

“If you look at most of the big developments now, they’re not about oil, it’s gas,” said Oppenheimer & Co. analyst Fadel Gheit.

The world will continue to run on crude oil for years to come, but even with new dis-coveries, oil production is

expected to flatten out during the next few decades, accord-ing to the latest estimates from the International Energy Association.

Far down the road, Gheit believes, Exxon and Shell will lead the energy industry into a new era where oil com-panies devote most of their efforts to producing natural gas. The Energy Information Administration expects world-wide natural gas production to increase 46 percent from 2007 to 2035, compared with a 30 percent increase in world production of crude and natu-

ral gas liquids.Gas is becoming more

attractive to the oil companies because it’s more accessible. While OPEC controls most of the world’s oil reserves, it con-trols less than half of the natu-ral gas reserves.

In the U.S. and Europe, nat-ural gas is primarily used to heat homes. About three in five American homes use it for heat. And more and more power plants are using it to generate power. Natural gas is used to generate 23 percent of electricity in the U.S., up from 16 percent a decade ago.

WAshiNGtON (Ap) — An inspector general said the White House edited a report about the adminis-tration’s moratorium on off-shore oil drilling to make it appear that scientists and experts supported the idea of a six-month ban on new drilling.

The Interior Department’s inspector general says the

changes resulted “in the implication that the morato-rium recommendation had been peer reviewed.” But it hadn’t been.

Still, the report said the administration did not vio-late federal rules because it had offered a formal apology and already publicly clari-fied the nature of the expert review.

House veterans to newcomers: ‘Sweat the small stuff’WASHINGTON (AP) — Be

work horses, not show horses. Choose details over drama. The small stuff? Sweat it. And do it fast.

Republicans retaking con-trol of the House in January are getting lessons from vet-erans of the past two tran-sitions of power on Capitol Hill — 1994, when the GOP last took control of Congress, and 2006, when Democrats grabbed it back. Lesson No. 1: They have a short window to convince the public they’re serious about changing the way Washington works.

“If we look like we’re doing business as usual,” says Rep.-elect Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., “then obviously the American people will say, ‘Well, what was that all about?”’

“It’s about making measur-able progress in reasonable time,” said Rep.-elect Tim Scott, R-S.C.

A 22-member Republican team is deliberating this week on how the new GOP majority will turn the populist cry to change Washington into oper-ational policy on everything from rules to fiscal matters.

Lesson No. 2: Details, even private ones, matter.

“Sweat the small stuff,” retired House Budget Com-mittee Chairman Jim Nussle, R-Iowa, told the team, which includes four incoming fresh-

men. The minutiae of budget-drafting and the morass of bil-lions and trillions of dollars at issue can get lost on constitu-ents, he said.

“But bouncing checks at the House bank? That con-

nects,” Nussle said, refer-ring to various scandals that have shaken Democrats and Republicans alike. “Having an improper relationship with a page? That connects. Having a rent-controlled office? That

connects.”So do suppressing vendettas

and establishing some good will — an exceedingly rare commodity on Capitol Hill in recent years, said another transition veteran.

Rules, for example, that allow for amendments and debate. Or a committee chair-man sharing staff and office space with the minority.

Rep. Michael Capuano, D-Mass., who served as Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s tran-sition chief in 2006, said a few members back then came to him suggesting that since the Republicans “did this, this and this to us, we should do that, that and that to them.”

Take the long view, Capuano says he advised Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., the GOP’s transition chairman.

“You start out on as high a plain as you can find,” Capuano said. “Because once the battle begins, it becomes tougher.”

To hear some tell it, the moment Election Day was over the political battles pivoted from the 2010 midterms to the 2012 presidential cycle. Flush

with victory in the House and a gain of seats in the Senate, some in the GOP immediately declared that their party’s con-gressional mission was now to deny President Barack Obama a second term.

By the end of the week Pelosi had stunned Washington by announcing she would con-tinue to lead Democrats even in the minority because she had no intention of allow-ing Republicans to repeal the health care overhaul and other laws enacted during Democratic rule.

So much for good will.In Republican circles, the

populist cry to change the way Washington works spilled past Election Day. The man likely to be the next House speaker, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, appointed veteran lawmak-ers to the transition team, such as Rep. David Dreier of California, who had served in both the House majority and minority, and four mem-bers of the freshman class who rode into office in part by campaigning against that very same establishment.


Republican Majority Transition Chairman Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., second from right, speaks on Capitol Hill Tuesday. With him are other members of the transition team, from

left, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio; Rep.-elect Mar-tha Roby, R-Ala.; Rep.-elect Tim Scott, R-S.C.; and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah.

School nutrition billcould be revived

WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama’s campaign for healthier school lunches could be revived in Congress after two key Demo-crats said they will drop oppo-sition to using funding from food stamps to pay for it.

Reps. Rosa DeLauro of Con-necticut and Jim McGovern of Massachusetts have said they will support House passage of a $4.5 billion child nutrition bill that passed the Senate ear-lier this year. Backed by some anti-hunger groups, the two lawmakers led opposition to passage of that version before the election because it is par-tially paid for with $2.2 billion taken from future funding for food stamp programs.

Since then, a push from the White House, which promised to help restore the food-stamp money, and political reality

after the midterm elections — the bill would probably not fare as well when Republicans take over the House in Janu-ary — appear to have softened opposition.

DeLauro said Tuesday that she is willing to support the legislation, which would improve lunches in schools and expand feeding programs for low-income students, with the food stamp cuts because Democrats will have a better opportunity when Congress returns to use another piece of legislation to try to restore the money and increase access to programs for hungry kids.

A spokesman for McGovern, Michael Mershon, said he was willing to support the bill because he had gotten “suf-ficient assurance” from the White House that it will work to restore food stamp cuts.

Cholera centers set up in Haiti’s capitalPORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti

— Doctors and aid groups are rushing to set up chol-era treatment centers across Haiti’s capital as officials warn that the disease’s encroachment into the over-crowded city will bring a surge in cases.

Hundreds of people were already suspected of having cholera, suffering the dis-ease’s symptoms of fever and diarrhea while lying in hos-pital beds or inside shacks lining the putrid waste canals of Cite Soleil, Martis-sant and other slums.

Following Monday’s con-firmation that a 3-year-old boy from a tent camp near Cite Soleil had contracted cholera before Oct. 31 with-out leaving the capital, the organization said the epi-demic’s spread from river towns in the countryside to the nation’s primary urban center was a dangeorus development.

Two more capital-origi-nated cases were confirmed Tuesday at the same hospital where the boy was treated.

Levy trial resumesafter 6-day hiatus

WASHINGTON — After a six-day hiatus, the Chan-dra Levy murder trial will resume and jurors will likely hear testimony from prison inmates who say Ingmar Guandique confessed to kill-ing her.

Guandique, a Salvadoran immigrant, is charged with the murder and attempted sexual assault of Levy in

2001. The Washington intern’s dis-appearance became inter-national news after she was romantically linked with then-Cali-fornia Rep. Gary Condit. He was once the main suspect, but police no longer believe he was involved.

Jurors have already heard from a former cellmate of Guandique who testified that he confided killing her in Washington’s Rock Creek Park. Similar testimony is expected this week.

U.S. OK of arms pactwith Russia is shaky

WASHINGTON — Senate approval of President Barack Obama’s nuclear weapons treaty with Russia

once looked to be nearly a sure thing. Now it’s in jeopardy.

The administration is scrambling to get enough Senate Republican support to ratify the New START treaty before the Demo-crats’ majority shrinks by six in January. But Repub-licans have little incentive to give Obama a big politi-cal boost after their strong gains in last week’s congres-sional elections.

Some Republicans argue that the treaty would limit U.S. missile defense options and does not provide ade-quate procedures to verify that Russia is living up to its terms.

A failure to win passage

could trip up one of the administration’s top foreign policy goals, improved rela-tions with Russia.

More suspects soughtin teen’s beating death

ATLANTA — Prosecu-tors in Georgia said they’re searching for more suspects in the killing of an 18-year-old who was stomped to death in a random act of vio-lence at a house party.

Douglas County District Attorney David McDade said today prosecutors are “sorting out the numerous varying versions of what took place” but says wit-nesses indicate others were involved in Bobby Tillman’s beating.

Four men have been charged with murder in the killing.

They are Quantez Devonta Mallory, 18; Horace Damon Coleman, 19; Emanuel Benja-min Boykins, 18; and Tracen Lamar Franklin, 19.

Authorities said the brawl started when a female hit a man, who did not hit back — but vowed to beat up the next man who passed by. Police said the four beat Tillman to death when he wandered by next.

economy.“The United States will

do its part to restore strong growth, reduce economic imbalances and calm mar-kets,” he wrote. “A strong recovery that creates jobs, income and spending is the most important contribution the United States can make to the global recovery.”

Obama outlined the work he had done to repair the nation’s financial system and enact reforms after the worst recession in decades. He implored the G-20 leaders to seize the opportunity to ensure a strong and durable recovery. The summit gets under way on Thursday.

“When all nations do their part — emerging no less than advanced, surplus no less than deficit — we all benefit from higher growth,” Obama said in the letter.

The divisions between the economic powers was evi-dent when China’s leading credit rating agency lowered its view of the United States, a response to the Federal Reserve’s decision to buy more Treasury bonds. Major exporting countries such

as China and Germany are complaining that the Federal Reserve’s action drives down the dollar’s value and gives U.S. goods an edge in world markets.

Earlier today in Indone-sia, the world’s most popu-lous Muslim nation, Obama issued a strikingly personal appeal to the Muslim world to join the West in an unre-lenting battle to defeat al-Qaida and violent extremism.

“Let me begin with a simple statement: Indonesia is part of me,” he said in the lan-guage, cheering the audience of more than 6,000 mostly young people at the Univer-sity of Indonesia. Obama had spent several years in the country as a boy.

He acknowledged the fray-ing that remains in U.S.-Is-lamic relations despite his best efforts at repair. He urged both sides to look beyond “suspicion and mis-trust” to forge common ground against terrorism.

Obama praised this nation of islands for progress in rooting out terrorists and combating violent extrem-ism, and he resurrected a

theme he sounded last year during visits to Turkey and Egypt: “I have made it clear that America is not and never will be at war with Islam. ... Those who want to build must not cede ground to terrorists who seek to destroy.”

In his university speech, Obama said he learned to appreciate the “humanity of all” people during the time he spent in Indonesia, with its thousands of islands, hundreds of languages and people from many different regions and ethnic groups.

His brief but nostalgic visit lent an unusually personal touch to the speech, por-tions of which were devoted to his childhood. Obama reminisced about living in a small house with a mango

tree out front, and learn-ing to love Indonesia while flying kites, running along paddies, catching dragonflies and buying food from street vendors.

He also spoke of running in fields with water buffalo and goats, and of the birth of his half-Indonesian sister, Maya.

Obama, a Christian who was born in Hawaii, moved to Indonesia as a 6-year-old and lived with his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. He attended public and Catholic schools while in Indonesia and returned to Hawaii when he was 10 to live with his grandpar-ents. Obama took care in his remarks to note that he is Christian; back home in the U.S., he continues to fight

erroneous perceptions that he is Muslim.

Obama occasionally stud-ied the Quran and visited a local mosque when he lived in Indonesia. But he spent hardly any time in the speech discussing Islam or his reli-gious background, except to describe Islam as a “great world religion.”

Reaching out to the Islamic world, Obama said efforts to build trust and peace are showing promise but remain incomplete.

He said both sides can choose to either “be defined by our differences and give in to a future of suspicion and mistrust” or “do the hard work of forging common ground and commit our-selves to the steady pursuit of progress.”

work on how to divide state revenue among agencies for the budget year that begins July 1.

“It may technically be a recovery, but you don’t have anything on Main Street Mis-sissippi that feels like a recov-ery,” said the Republican gov-ernor, who participated in the meeting by teleconference.

Webb said evidence signal-ing the end of the national recession included an expan-sion of the U.S. gross domes-tic product over the last five quarters and the Institute for

Supply Management index that shows manufacturing activity has been expanding for the last 15 months.

Still, Mississippi lost 74,700 jobs between February 2008 and September 2010. Webb said if the state maintained a 1.4 percent growth rate in employment over the next several years, it would be 2015 before all jobs lost would be recovered.

“We’ve dug a very deep hole,” Webb said.

Several of the state’s agen-cies are operating with bare-

bone budgets after the state has experienced declining revenue the past few years.

Rep. Cecil Brown, D-Jack-son, said revising the cur-rent year’s budget will free up money for agencies that might run deficits. He said the rest could carry forward.

The slightly higher revenue estimate for next budget year isn’t expected to result in many agencies or programs receiving significant budget increases. Several were propped up this year with stimulus dollars — money

that won’t be available in fiscal year 2012.

“I think it’s going to be tough,” said House Speaker Billy McCoy, D-Rienzi. “Pri-orities will take place. What will come out of the final pro-cess, I couldn’t tell you.”

However, lawmakers will have an extra $55 million to work with during the 2011 session that starts in Janu-ary. Barbour said the money will come from a disaster recovery fund created after Hurricane Katrina.

The federal government

appropriated funds for the state’s Medicaid program, which freed up millions in state dollars, Brown said. Ini-tially, the disaster fund was to be used as match money for federal funding. Barbour said Tuesday about $55 mil-lion won’t be needed for that purpose.

The budget committee will continue meeting this week as it works on a spend-ing proposal to present to the full Legislature. Barbour is expected to release his budget proposal in December.

visits.He gave examples of eco-

nomic development in Okla-homa City and Nashville, but said Vicksburg’s down-town development could be closely modeled after down-

town areas in such Missis-sippi cities as Tupelo and Clarksdale.

“Define your goal,” he told the panel. “Define your mis-sion and develop your strat-egy. Plan a trip and meet

with the city’s economic development group.”

The partners, who are not funded by any source, will choose a site to visit by December and plan to travel as early as February.

Chairman Blake Teller said travel expenses will be the responsibility of each member. The panel’s meeting with Mansfield is the fourth in a series with local tourism and business leaders.

In trying to establish a direction for the panel, mem-bers have met with leaders of Vicksburg Main Street Asso-ciation, VCVB and the Vicks-burg-Warren County Cham-ber of Commerce.

Virginia HanningJACKSONVILLE, Fla. —

Virginia Hanning, formerly of Vicksburg, died Monday, Nov. 8, 2010, in Jacksonville. She was 86.

Mrs. Hanning was preceded in death by her husband,

John Hanning; and a daugh-ter, Betty Hanning.

She is survived by four chil-dren, Virginia Crump, Mary Bratos, Joan Needham and John Hanning.

Services, directed by Hardage-Giddens Manda-rin Funeral Home, will be at 10 a.m. Friday at the Episco-pal Church of Our Saviour in Jacksonville.

before interest, taxes, depre-ciation and amortization — was up 133.9 percent for the year.

At the time, Reynolds said the hospital had faced “sig-nificant economic chal-lenges” and had made no profit or lost money until last year’s financial gains. A report on 2010 has not been made available.

Also, between January and

May of this year, collections lawsuits filed by the hospi-tal against clients unable or unwilling to pay spiked by 670 percent. The hospi-tal attributed the increase to backed up and inefficiently processed “uncollectible accounts” in the health care network’s business office. Fewer suits have appeared in court records in the months since.

In this morning’s statement, marketing director Diane Gawronski said the hospi-tal “has strengthened medi-cal staff relations, recruited more physicians and services ... and inceased core measure scores to the 99th percentile” during Reynolds’ tenure.

The chairman of the board of trustees of River Region Health System, the parent company of River Region,

thanked Reynolds for his work here.

“We wish Vance much suc-cess in his new position,” said Hal Gage.

River Region Health System is owned and oper-ated by Community Health Systems of Tennessee, the nation’s largest publicly traded hospital firm.

CHS purchased the hospi-tal from Dallas-based Triad

in 2007, five years after the facility was opened on U.S. 61 North.

Phone calls to CHS were not returned this morning, but the statement from River Region said the search for a new CEO is underway.

River Region was created from the merger of ParkView Regional Medical Center and Vicksburg Medical Center.

Politician, broadcaster, author to speak at MC By Ben [email protected]

A former Arkansas gov-ernor and 2008 Republican presidential hopeful will headline Mississippi Col-lege’s spring scholarship banquet.

Mike Huckabee is set to speak at the fourth annual event, set for March 28.

“We consider (former) Gov. Huckabee, who attended Baptist colleges at the under-graduate and graduate levels and served as president of the Arkansas Baptist Con-vention, to be fully support-ive of institutions like ours,” MC President Lee Royce said in a release announc-

ing Huckabee’s visit to the Clinton campus. “We look forward to his remarks about America’s political scene and other timely topics.”

In addition to his politi-cal career, Huckabee, 55, is an ordained Southern Bap-tist minister, a best-selling author, a musician, and the host of “Huckabee,” which

airs weekends on Fox News Channel, and “Huckabee Report,” his syndicated radio show.

Huckabee was chairman of the National Governors Asso-ciation and the Education Commission of the States. He and his wife, Janet, live in Florida, and they have three grown children.

As a minister, Huckabee led congregations in the Pine Bluff and Texarkana areas in the 1980s and early ’90s. At the age of 34, he became the youngest president of the Arkansas State Baptist Convention.

Huckabee is a bassist who has played with the likes of Willie Nelson and the Charlie Daniels Band. He plays each week in the musical segment of his show with the Fox News house band, “The Little Rockers.”

Huckabee’s books have covered youth violence and health and fitness. His most recent work, “A Simple Christmas,” contains 12 holi-day stories.

The banquet during which Huckabee will speak is part of MC’s campaign to raise $80 million for scholarships, academic programs, endow-ments and capital improve-ments. Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief of Forbes Magazine, spoke at last year’s banquet, which raised more than $312,000.

MC, a private Christian uni-versity serving more than 5,000 students, is affiliated with the Mississippi Baptist Convention.

Founded in 1826, MC is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of Mis-sissippi and second oldest Baptist university in the nation.

If you goThe 2011 Mississippi College scholarship banquet, featuring Mike Huckabee, is set for 6 p.m. March 28. Tickets are $150, and $5,000 donors may participate in a 5 p.m. meet-and-greet with Huckabee. For infor-mation, contact Amy Rowan at 601-925-3257 or [email protected].

The defiant ones: Difficult teens need boundariesBy Beth J. HarpazThe Associated Press

NEW YORK — You make rules, they break them. You ask questions, they ignore you. You say, “Do this,” they say, “Make me!”

Oppositional behavior is hard enough to cope with in toddlers, but when the defi-ant ones are 13 or 14, you can’t just put them down for a nap or bribe them with stickers.

So how does a parent get through to a kid who is acting disrespectfully? Here’s advice from three experts.

• Be consistent and put the rules in writing, advises Mary Muscari, who teaches at the Decker School of Nurs-ing at Binghamton Univer-sity in New York and is a co-author of “The Everything Guide to Raising Adolescent Girls” and “The Everything Guide to Raising Adolescent Boys.”

Muscari says you might make a list of rules to hang up in the house. If you’re looking to improve a spe-cific behavior or meet a goal, write up a contract and have your child sign it.

Muscari says adolescents do “a lot of testing. ‘How much can I get away with?’ But they don’t really want to get away with things; they just want to see how far they can push their parents.”

She adds: “This is a normal thing other parents are going

through. You are not crazy! It’s annoying. It’s horrible. But it’s just like when they were 2 years old and they said, ‘Wow! Look what I can do!’ Only they’re 13. They might be saying, ‘I hate you! What do you know?’ But they’re thinking, ‘Thank God you’re putting these controls on me.”’

If foul language is an issue, you might try a 25-cent fine for each curse — and make sure grown-up violators pay, too. The money could be a reward for good behavior.

Muscari says encouraging teens to volunteer can also give them some perspective.

“You don’t want them to be totally wrapped up in themselves,” she said. “They like to have pity parties, but it helps to see what other people are going through.”

Kids this age are not always communicative, but Mus-cari says car rides can offer an opportunity for parental chitchat. “They’re a captive audience; they’re not going to jump out of the car. And there’s something about not having face-to-face contact that can make it more com-fortable for them.”

• Establish priorities, set standards, maintain family routines and stay connected, advises Gregory Ramey, a child psychologist at the Children’s Medical Center of Dayton, Ohio.

“You’ve got to choose your battles. What are the impor-tant things that really matter to me? You can’t make every-thing important, because then nothing is important,” Ramey says.

One thing parents should set standards for, he says, is the way kids speak.

“I would never let a child talk back to me or be disre-spectful,” he said. “How do you correct it when it hap-pens? If a child crosses the line by using language you feel is inappropriate, there has to be some reasonable consequence, perhaps taking away computers or cell phones.”

Ramey hosts a program for teens and tells them at the outset that swearing and terms like “Shut up,” are not allowed.

Involve kids in solving prob-lems. “You might say, ‘I get annoyed with your tone of voice and certain words you use. Maybe you don’t mean it. But you need to come up with some way where you can better control your behavior.”

Finally, he says, conflicts are “less likely to happen if you’re connected to your child.” Ramey says research that shows teens who eat with their parents four times a week or more fare better than those who don’t.

He also urges parents to attend plays, sporting events and anything else kids take part in.

“Parents have this idea that kids don’t want them around and that is so wrong. If a teen says, ‘I don’t want you to come to this,’ go anyway,” he said. Don’t sit in the front row or cheer louder than anyone

else, but “say something when you get back, like, ‘You did really well today.”’

• Consider how brain devel-opment affects adolescent behavior, advises Dr. Joseph Shrand, psychiatrist, father of four, and medical director of CASTLE (Clean and Sober Teens Living Empowered), a new intervention unit for at-risk teens at High Point Treatment Center, Brockton, Mass.

The part of the brain that controls emotions, called the limbic system, which allows us to feel pleasure, anger and passion, works just fine in adolescents. But the pre-frontal cortex, the part of the brain that helps us analyze information, make decisions and anticipate consequences, is not fully developed until the mid-20s.

The prefrontal cortex also gives humans the ability to appreciate how others think and feel. At age 13, there-fore, “how they perceive their parents is that you are like a piece of cardboard. This kid does not necessarily have a clue how they are making you feel,” Shrand said.

So when a kid treats a parent disrespectfully, it’s tempting for the adult to respond with anger. Shrand says it’s basically one emo-tional, limbic brain provoking the other. What’s more effec-tive, he says, is for adults to take the high road by using persuasion or respect.

Dear Amy: Does Mars or any other planet havelife? — Kavya, Kumbakonam, India

Dear Kavya: The only planet that we knowhas life is Earth, but that won't stop scientistsfrom searching for signs of life elsewhere.One of the things they look for is water,because it is a source of oxygen, which isessential to life on Earth. In addition, watercan provide protection from UV rays.Scientists also look at the climate or clues ofthe past climate on a planet, because life isable to survive only in a small window oftemperature. A planet can't be too hot or toocold.

Since the '70s, NASA has been searchingMars for signs of life. So far, there has beenno evidence of life, but it's possible that lifeonce existed there. Billions of years ago, thesurface of Mars flowed with water and wasmuch warmer. To learn more about thepossibility of life on Mars, visitwww.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/postsecondary/features/mars_life_feature_1015.html.

There are other stars and planets in theuniverse, so it's possible that life exists some-where else. Visit Hunt for Alien Worlds,www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/worlds, and decidefor yourself whether aliens might exist.

The Food Network offers this chili recipe to add some kick to your tailgaiting festivities.

•

Pressure Cooker Chili3 pounds stew meat (beef,

pork, and/or lamb)2 teaspoons peanut oil1 1/2 teaspoons kosher

salt1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer,

preferably a medium ale1 (16-ounce) container

salsa30 tortilla chips2 chipotle peppers canned

in adobo sauce, chopped1 tablespoon adobo sauce

(from the chipotle pep-pers in adobo)

1 tablespoon tomato paste1 tablespoon chili powder1 teaspoon ground cumin

Place the meat in a large mixing bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt. Set aside.

Heat a 6-quart heavy-bottomed pressure cooker over high heat until hot. Add the meat in three or four batches and brown on all sides, approxi-mately 2 minutes per batch. Once each batch is browned, place the meat in a clean large bowl.

Once all of the meat is browned, add the beer to the cooker to de-glaze the pot.

Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Add the meat back to the pressure cooker along with the salsa, tor-tilla chips, chipotle pep-pers, adobo sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, and ground cumin and stir to combine. Lock the lid in place according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

When the steam begins to hiss out of the cooker, reduce the heat to low, just enough to maintain a very weak whistle. Cook 25 minutes.

Remove from the heat and carefully release the steam. Serve immediately.

Gibson Memorial United Meth-odist Church will carry on a tradi-tion Saturday as it hosts its 40th annual fall bazaar and spaghetti dinner.

The event is sponsored by the United Methodist Women of the 335 Oak Ridge Road church.

The bazaar, which kicks off at 9 a.m. and runs until 2 p.m., will fea-ture baked goods, canned goods, crafts and holiday items.

The entertainment is simply the enjoyment of one another’s company, said Gibson Memorial member Ruth O’Bannon.

“I think that’s probably better than the food,” she said.

Spaghetti plates, complete with cole slaw, French bread, cake and a drink, will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Cost is $3 for children 12 and younger and $6 for adults. Patrons

may dine in or take a plate to go, and orders of 10 or more may be delivered.

Proceeds from the dinner and bazaar benefit mission project

and local endeavors. The United Methodist Women of Gibson Memorial are hoping to surpass last year’s total of $2,500.

Projects of Gibson Memorial

have included help for people affected by natural disasters such as the 2009 earthquake in Haiti and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The Holy Trinity turkey dinner and bake sale will be from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Nov. 18 at the church’s parish hall at South and Monroe streets.

“This is a great event to eat a delicious meal and tour our beau-tiful, historic church,” said Donna Saunders, chairman of the event.

Harry Sharp, co-chairman of the turkey dinner and bake sale, is planning to cook 600 pounds of turkey for a yield of about 800 dinners.

The bake sale will feature home-made casseroles, soups and des-serts. Entertainment will be pro-vided by members of the The Conservatory of Fine Arts.

“The music is one thing that makes our dinner really unique,” said Saunders.

Proceeds from the turkey dinner and bake sale will be used by

the women of the church to help maintain Holy Trinity and its programs.

Information and tickets may be obtained by calling 601-636-0542.

Potatoes au gratin with apples a fresh take on classic dishBy alison LadmanThe associated Press

This new take on the tradi-tional potato au gratin mixes things up by adding celeriac and apples to the creamy potato dish.

Celeriac is the root of the celery plant and has a distinc-tive celery flavor with a car-rot-like texture. It is impor-tant to make sure the slices of potato and celeriac are cut to the same thickness to ensure even cooking.

Potato, Celeriac,and apple au gratin

start to finish: 2 hours (1 hour active)

servings: 104 tablespoons (1/2 stick)

butter1/4 cup all-purpose flour4 cups whole milk4 teaspoons Dijon mustard2 cups shredded Monterey

Jack cheese, divided2 cups shredded sharp ched-

dar cheese, dividedSalt and ground white

pepper, to taste2 large russet potatoes,

peeled and thinly sliced1 large celeriac root, peeled,

quartered and thinly sliced3 green apples, peeled, cored

and thinly slicedIn a large saucepan over

medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. A little at a time, whisk in the milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce

to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the mustard.

Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese and 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese, stirring until melted. Season the sauce with salt and white pepper.

Fill a second large saucepan with the potatoes, then add

enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 min-utes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes from the water and transfer to a plate. Add the celeriac slices to the water and cook for 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the celeriac from the water and transfer to a plate

Heat the oven to 350 F.In a large casserole dish,

arrange an even layer of potato slices over the bottom. Top the potatoes with several spoons of cheese sauce. Add a layer of celeriac, followed by a few spoons of cheese sauce. Finally add a layer of apples, followed by a bit more cheese sauce.

Continue this layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of

cheese sauce. Top this with the remaining Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes and celeriac are tender and cooked through when pierced with a knife. If the cheese on top begins to brown too much, cover the casserole with foil.

Baked potato toppings add pizzazz to mashedBy J.M. hirschAP food editor

Since the holiday season is no time for sacrifice, I decided to amplify the flavor — and, consequently, the fat — of one of the meal’s most criti-cal sides.

And so I took a basic mashed potato and added some of the most popular baked potato toppings, bacon and scal-lions. I also considered whip-ping a bit of sour cream into the mix, but feared it would be too, well, sour. So I opted for an 8-ounce block of cream cheese.

The result is a delicious, creamy mashed potato with enough flavor to truly shine on an otherwise crowded table of sides.

If you wanted to take the taters even further, consider sprinkling them with diced jalapeños, sliced black olives or even a bit of shredded ched-dar cheese.

Creamy Bacon andScallion Potatoes

start to finish: 30 minutesservings: 10

5-pound bag Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks

8 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch chunks

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika3 scallions, thinly sliced8-ounce block cream cheese,

room temperature1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1/2 cup whole or skim milkSalt and ground black

pepper, to tastePlace the potatoes in a large

saucepan. Cover with cold

water, then set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the pota-toes are tender, about 15 min-utes. Drain and return to the pot.

While the potatoes cook, heat a large skillet to medium-high. Add the bacon and cook until just crisp, about 10 min-utes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain the fat. Drain off all but about 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat from the skillet.

Return the skillet to the burner over low heat. Return the bacon to the skillet, then add the garlic powder and smoked paprika. Heat for 1 minute, then remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the scal-lions and set aside.

When the potatoes are cooked and drained, add the cream cheese, butter and milk to the pot. Mash until creamy and mostly smooth. Mix in the bacon-scallion mixture, season with salt and pepper.

Banish marshmallows from sweet potato dishBy alison LadmanThe Associated Press

Here’s a good excuse to banish marsh-mallows from your repertoire.

We’ve partnered the richly sweet taste of mashed sweet potatoes with the savory, salty flavor of browned sausage and onions. The result is a savory and sat-isfying take on a dish that too often ends up cloying and heavy.

Sausage and SweetPotato Smash

start to finish: 45 minutesservings: 10

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered

1-pound package sausage meat1 large yellow onion, chopped1 tablespoon fresh thyme leavesSalt and ground black pepper, to taste

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 25 minutes.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat,

brown the sausage meat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess oil, then add the onion and continue cooking until the onion is soft and starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the thyme.

When the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them well and add to the sau-sage mixture. Smash them together and

season with salt and pepper.nutrition information per serving

like ‘having an expert at your elbow’

In the digital age, kitchen help is just a tweet awayby the associated press

Need to talk turkey? Baffled by Brussels sprouts? Sure, you could go old school and call a 1-800 holiday helpline. But these days, cooks are finding inspiration, or salvation as the case may be, online.

From smart phone apps that put together your grocery lists to Twitter sessions that answer your pressing pumpkin ques-tions, traditional sources of holiday help are transforming to meet the demands of a digi-tal age.

“People are just going online more and more to get their...questions answered,” says Angela Moore, vice president of FoodNetwork.com.

Traffic to that site’s Thanks-giving section has been grow-ing annually, and this month marked the launch of Food Network’s In The Kitchen app, which features 45,000 reci-pes from the network’s chefs, including monthly seasonal menus, which for November, naturally, will be Thanksgiving-centric.

The $1.99 app, available for iPhones, iPods and iPads, (www.foodnetwork.com/mobile) includes shopping lists that can be shared via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter, a unit converter for accurate mea-surements and timers that can be set in-recipe.

“Basically, it’s Thanksgiv-ing at your fingertips,” says Moore.

At Food & Wine magazine, editors are holding chats on Twitter and Facebook to give readers real-time help.

A Twitter session in early November was “the fastest two hours we have ever spent,” says Dana Cowin, the magazine’s editor-in-chief. “Just so many questions about perfect side dishes, smoking a turkey. I love the people who ask the ques-tions because they ask really great questions and they were really open to new ideas.”

What’s nice about the online approach, says Cowin, is that

it’s like “having an expert at your elbow.”

Grace Parisi of the Food & Wine test kitchen will be shar-

ing her tips on Thanksgiving prep, from recipes to managing a crisis, each Monday on Twit-ter and Tuesdays on Facebook

through Nov. 23. Wine editor, Megan Krigbaum, will discuss tips and strategies for the holi-days on Nov. 17, via Twitter,

and Nov. 18 on Facebook.Parisi, who moderates the

Food & Wine sessions, “knows our database so well and she has such strong opinions about what really is the per-fect Thanksgiving dish that you have never made before,” says Cowin, adding with a laugh, “”We’re like a dating service between the person who wants to make a new recipe and the recipe that’s right for them in our archive (or database).”

Meanwhile, hot line stal-warts like Butterball, which has been saving cooks from making turkeys of themselves for 30 years, also are moving online. Butterball experts are answering questions from now through the holidays on Face-book (facebook.com 1/4butter-ball) and Twitter (twitter.com 1/4butterball).

Another twist on the holiday hot line comes from Martha Stewart, who has signed up 30 chefs and entertaining experts

for shows that will run 30 hours over a three-day period, Nov. 22, 23 and 24 on Martha Stew-art Living Radio, SIRIUS chan-nel 112 and XM channel 157. The show airs from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and replays beginning at 6 p.m.

Emeril Lagasse, Mario Batali, Marcus Samuelsson, Rick Bay-less, Wolfgang Puck and Alton Brown are among the experts scheduled to answer questions and share tips on cooking and entertaining. They already have contributed recipes for a free online cookbook available later this month at www.sirius.com, “Martha Stewart Living Radio’s Thanksgiving Hotline Recipes.”

At the Food Network, Moore likes the idea of connecting to experts you know and trust. “The people we have answer-ing your questions are Giada (De Laurentiis), and Alton (Brown) and Bobby (Flay) and Paula (Deen),” she says.

Pumpkin produces rich rollby the associated press

Adding squash or pump-kin to a dinner roll produces a bread that is soft, slightly sweet and wonderfully rich. It also helps keep the rolls moist, making it easier to bake them ahead without worrying they will dry out.

This recipe uses canned pumpkin for ease and pump-kin seeds (also called pepi-tas) for a nutty-toasty crunch. Canned squash also could be used.

These rolls are just as deli-cious served at room tempera-ture, but if you’d like to reheat them, cover the pan with foil and pop them in the oven for 10 minutes.

Double PumpkinDinner RollsStart to finish: 3 1/2 hours

(30 minutes active)Makes 24 rolls1 cup whole or reduced-fat

milk2/3 cup sugar1 cup canned pumpkin purée1 egg1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room

temperature1 tablespoon instant or quick-

rise yeast2 teaspoons salt5 1/2 cups bread flour1/2 cup pepitas, toasted4 tablespoons melted butter

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, com-bine the milk, sugar, pump-kin purée, egg, butter, yeast, salt and flour. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase speed to medium-low and mix for 5 minutes to knead. The dough should be soft, but pull away from the sides of the bowl. If it is too sticky, add a bit more flour.

Add the pepitas and mix until incorporated through-out the dough. Cover the

bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Coat two 9-inch cake pans with cooking spray. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in two. Divide each of the halves into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Arrange 12 balls in each cake pan (they can touch), then cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for another 45 minutes to an hour, or until puffy.

After the rolls have risen for 30 minutes, heat the oven to 350.

When the rolls have fin-

ished rising, brush their tops with half of the melted butter. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. After removing them from the oven, brush with the remaining butter. Allow to cool in the pan.

Carter lost, but Lipshutz supported Carter when he suc-cessfully ran for governor again in 1970.

‘Conan’ whips rivals in viewershipTBS says Conan O’Brien was welcomed back to television by

more than 4.1 million viewers.The former host of “The Tonight Show,” who left NBC eight

months ago, returned to late night Monday with a new talk show, “Conan,” which premiered on basic-cable network TBS.

In the 10 p.m. hour, O’Brien’s opening night throttled his direct rivals on Comedy Central. “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” was seen by 1.3 million viewers, followed by “The Colbert Re-port” with 1 million.

Conan even beat Jay Leno, the host who reclaimed the “To-night Show” chair from him. Starting at 10:35 p.m., “Tonight” at-tracted 3.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen Co. figures re-leased on Tuesday.

Firm dismisses fee suit against StewartCalifornia court records show a prominent entertainment law

firm that was seeking more than $3 million in fees from Rod Stewart has dismissed its case.

A Los Angeles court granted a dismissal Thursday to Glaser, Weil, Fink, Jacobs, Howard & Shapiro.

The firm sued the rock star a year ago, claim-ing it was owed fees for work on three cases, including one in which a jury determined Stew-art owed $2 million for canceling a December 2000 show in Las Vegas.Its attorney, Vincent Green, said he could not

comment on the dismissal or whether a settle-ment had been reached. Stewart had denied wrongdoing in court filings.

The case was slated to go to trial in January.The firm’s client roster has also included architect Frank Gehry

and former game show host Bob Barker.

Man seeking drugs calls cops by mistakeA New York man looking to buy drugs misdialed and got the

sheriff’s “Crime Stoppers” line instead.Erie County Sheriff’s Detective Alan Rozansky said he got a call

around noon Monday and answered with his usual “Crime Stop-pers.” The caller apparently didn’t hear that and told Rozansky he was looking “to score” drugs.

Rozansky said that he was surprised but played along and ar-ranged a meeting with undercover officers. The officers didn’t arrest the caller but used him as an informant to lead them to another transaction taking place down the road.

There, police arrested a 35-year-old woman trying to sell her prescription painkillers to a Buffalo man.

The careless caller is off the hook for now.


Mark Twain award

Tina Fey thanks Palin for her successwaSHinGTOn (aP) —

Mark Twain paid a surprise visit to the Kennedy Center on Tuesday night to honor Tina Fey with the nation’s top humor prize that bears his name.

A mustached Alec Baldwin playing Twain said he thought he would be remembered for being a tender lover and was surprised to learn the prize honors top comics.

“Tina, well that’s a funny name for a man,” he said, shocked to hear it was a woman who had won because “their brains aren’t shaped right.”

A hundred years after the author’s death, the woman famous for her Emmy Award-winning impression of Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live,” accepted the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor — even though she feels her style is “so typically Austrian.”

She thanked Palin for her success and said she has it on good authority that Sen. John McCain has a picture of Fey in his office and had been getting ideas long before he picked the former Alaska governor as his running mate.

“I guess what I’m saying is, this whole thing might be my fault,” she said.

She also thanked the Ken-nedy Center, which she said will soon be known as “the Tea Party bowling alley and rifle range.”

“SNL” comics lined up to cel-ebrate their colleague’s work over nine seasons. They played clips from her time anchoring “Weekend Update” and some of the commercials she wrote, including a spoof on “mom jeans.”

Amy Poehler recalled meet-ing Fey back when they were both part of The Second City improv group in Chicago in the 1990s.

“Our dreams were as big as our unshaped eyebrows,” Poeh-ler said.

The humor prize honors those who define contem-porary comedy. Last year, it went to Bill Cosby. Organiz-ers said Fey made her mark as the first female head writer on “SNL,” not to mention her Palin impression and creat-ing the NBC comedy series “30 Rock,” in which she stars with Baldwin.

Tracy Morgan acted unim-pressed — especially that Fey was the first woman to lead the writing team.

“I was the first male cast member who tried to force an unwanted kiss on the first female head writer,” he said.

At 40, Fey is the youngest to be honored with the award that was created in 1998. She’s also only the third woman to receive it after Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg.

Earlier, when the prize was announced, Fey hinted she didn’t feel worthy, joking that she assumed Betty White was disqualified “for steroid use.”

Not to be outdone, on the red carpet, the 88-year-old White praised Fey’s “intelligence and her sense of comedy.”

Then she deadpanned, “Too bad she’s not good-looking.”

White also took the stage

to honor Fey. They also per-formed together on “SNL” in

May for which White won rave reviews as host.

Steve Martin, who also has taken home the award, said Fey’s win means he’s been demoted. He said he loves Fey’s parody of Palin, but even more, he said he loves to read her writing.

“Isn’t it refreshing to find a comedian who is both really good and funny looking?” he said.

On the big screen, Fey recently starred with Steve Carell in “Date Night” and is a featured voice in “Megamind,” which debuted at No. 1 at last weekend’s box office. Now she is working on her first book, a memoir due out next year. She lives in New York with her hus-band, Jeff Richmond, and their daughter.

Producer,managervouch forJackson song

naSHViLLE (aP) — Some of Michael Jackson’s family members are unhappy with the release of the posthumous single “Breaking News.” But the late leg-end’s longtime producer and manager say it is indeed Jackson’s voice on the newly released track.

“ W h e n I heard these songs, my heart cried hear-ing Michael again in good spir-its. The vocals sounded very polished, very on key and pro-cessed. I have no doubts that these are Michael’s vocals,” Jackson’s longtime producer, Teddy Riley, said today in a statement to The Associated Press.

“Breaking News” is the first song off “MICHAEL,” due out Dec. 14. It’s the first album of unreleased Jackson material since Jackson’s death.

Representatives for Epic Records, Jackson’s label, say Jackson not only co-wrote the song in 2007 but also co-pro-duced it with Eddie Cascio and James Porte.

But Jackson’s nephews, Taryll, Taj and TJ Jackson, tweeted this week that their uncle’s voice isn’t the one fea-tured on the song.

“I KNOW my Uncle’s voice and something’s seriously wrong when you have imme-diate FAMILY saying it’s not him,” wrote Taryll Jackson. “Don’t you have to wonder why? I have strong, undeni-able points. They can’t give me answers, yet continue to move forward with lies and deception. Sounding like Michael Jackson and BEING Michael Jackson are two different things.”

De Nirowins DeMillelifetime honorat Globes

LOS ANGELES (AP) — They’ll be talking to — and about — Robert De Niro at next year’s Golden Globe Awards, where the actor will be honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.

De Niro will receive the honor at the Golden Globes awards ceremony Jan. 16, actor Kevin Spacey announced at a news conference Tuesday.

De Niro has been nominated for eight Golden Globe Awards in both the comedy and drama categories, winning once for “Raging Bull.” He also has won two Academy Awards (for “Raging Bull” and “The Godfa-ther: Part II”) and the Kennedy Center Honor.

Before announcing De Niro’s name, Spacey — who has a gift for impersonations — gave a little clue about the winner’s identity by imitat-ing the bemused smirk that is De Niro’s trademark. Spacey described him as being “uni-versally acknowledged as one of the greatest actors of all time.”

De Niro is also being hailed for his contributions as a direc-tor, as a producer through his Tribeca Productions, and as a co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival, which was created to help revitalize lower Man-hattan after the Sept. 11, 2001, World Trade Center attacks.

Previous DeMille winners include Barbra Streisand, Al Pacino, Michael Douglas, Steven Spielberg and this past year’s recipient, De Niro’s long-time friend and director Martin Scorsese. Ricky Gervais will return as the ceremony’s host.

Philip Berk, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Asso-ciation, which presents the Globes, also announced that the broadcast once again will be shown live coast-to-coast from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Boyfriend’s cell phone fantasy could become legal nightmareDear Abby: My boyfriend

is pressuring me to take his camera cell phone with me into the girls’ locker room and take pictures of the other girls with little or nothing on. He says it has always been a “fan-tasy” of his, and that if I really love him I’ll help him fulfill his fantasy.

He promises to keep the pictures secret and says that what the other girls don’t know won’t hurt them. He offered to do the same for me and take pictures in the boys’ locker room, but I’m not interested. I know it would be wrong to do it, and I wouldn’t want someone secretly taking pictures of me.

He hinted that if I refuse he will look for another girl who will. I’m scared of losing him because I’m not much to look at, and he’s the only boy who has ever shown any interest in me. I know you’re not going to tell me to go ahead and do this, so I’m not sure why I’m

writing, but I would appreci-ate any advice you can give me. — Don’t Want to Lose Him in the U.S.A.

Dear Don’t Want to Lose Him: I’m glad you wrote. If you do what this boy is push-ing you to do, you could be thrown out of school. He will not be able to resist the urge to show the pictures to his friends — and possibly put them on the Internet. It would be a huge invasion of privacy and a breach of trust, and regardless of what he says, it will NOT bring you closer together.

If he truly cared about you, he would never ask you to

do something that could get you into serious trouble. You could be accused of creating and distributing pornographic material, and there could be legal liability. The penalty you would pay isn’t worth the “interest” he’s showing in you. Run!

Dear Abby: Two friends and I recently went on a trip together. While on the trip, one of them told me she knows how old I am because she looked it up online. My reply was that a friend would ask me for that kind of infor-mation, and if I didn’t want to reveal my age she would respect my wishes.

Abby, I wonder about her reason for letting me know she was looking up informa-tion about me on the Inter-net. Am I wrong to be upset over it? Her response was that “everyone” does it, and because I was offended she will no longer speak to me. Did I overreact? — Ageless

TexanDear Ageless Texan: (Or

should I say “formerly” age-less?) If the subject of your age came up during the trip and you expressed reluctance to reveal yours, then what the woman did was one-up you. That she would then imply that you were “wrong” to feel invaded and to no longer speak to you is her attempt to blame you for your very normal reaction.

That said, along with the “blessing” of the Internet has come the sobering reality that there are enormous amounts of information about all of us on it (some true, some not), and that anyone who is curi-ous or nosy can mine it to his or her heart’s content — which is what happened to you. And no, you did not overreact.

Dear Abby: My wife and I have had a long-standing dis-agreement. Her family leaves the price tags on all gifts. This has caused our children to

expect that I spend the same amount on them for Christ-mas and birthdays. I feel they have become materialistic and have lost the meaning behind the gifts. My family never left the price tags on, and I feel that doing so is tacky. What’s your opinion? — $$$ in Ham-mond, Ill.

Dear $$$: I agree with you.

Leaving the price tag on a gift IS tacky.

Getting two flu shotssometimes appropriate

Dear Dr. Gott: We had the H1N1 flu shot at our doctor’s office earlier this year. Now we see H1N1 is in the flu shot for this coming season. Is it safe to take it again? Or should we try and get the single flu shot if possible?

Dear Reader: To my knowl-edge, there is no single flu shot, so I believe it is appropriate for you to receive a seasonal-flu injection. My reasoning is that seasonal flu covers differ-ent strains that you wouldn’t be immunized against if you didn’t have the 2010 injection. What you received earlier this year was specifically for H1N1. To be on the safe side and because I don’t know your age, allergies or health history, you should clear this with your primary-care physician before being immunized.

The swine-flu pandemic began in April 2009 and took more than 18,000 lives world-wide, according to Fox News, which also reported the gov-ernments of North America and Europe dumped their vac-cines after finding their shelves were full of unused serum and supplies that were about to expire. Conservative skeptics held back and simply didn’t get immunized. France also felt the threat of a pandemic was an overestimation. Ger-many ended up with 34 million doses of vaccine from manu-facturers, with very little used. That said, the World Health Organization believes the 2009 H1N1 viruses will continue to spread in many parts of the world for years to come.

The 2010 to 2011 seasonal-influenza vaccine will protect against the H3N2 virus, influ-enza B virus and the 2009 H1N1 virus. Those who had H1N1 or the vaccine last year can safely receive the seasonal-flu vac-cine this year.

Dear Dr. Gott: It is definitely better for some vitamins and minerals to be taken with food at mealtimes, but other food supplements must be taken on an empty stomach. You can also take smaller amounts of some vitamins and minerals between meals, with water, and get a bigger punch from them. For me, it’s better to take mineral capsules, tablets or powders with lunch or supper than it is for breakfast, when my stomach enzymes aren’t strong enough to digest them well. The minerals give me a stomachache. Also, never take a multi-B vitamin before bed-time or you won’t get to sleep. See, it all depends!

Dear Reader: You certainly appear to have done your homework. I could not find confirmation for some of your claims, such as multi-B at bed-time causing insomnia; how-ever, each of us responds dif-ferently to medication, even over-the-counters. Remember that vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients, but the body typically only requires small amounts of them. Read-ers should speak with their

physicians before beginning a regimen, because a well-bal-anced, nutritious diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables will likely be all that is required to maintain good health.

Furthermore, read labels to determine whether a medica-tion or supplement should be taken with food or without, or in the morning or at bedtime.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPEBY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION

TWEEN 12 & 20BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION

Dr. Wallace: You seem to be quite intelligent, so I wonder why you still encourage teens to use abstinence as a sure-fire way to avoid the problems associated with teenage sexual activity. Maybe only a few teens were sexually active when you were a teen in Gary, Ind. (I looked up where you went to high school on your biography on the Internet), but this is 2010, and a huge percentage of today’s teens are sexually active.

Instead of encouraging teens to practice abstinence, you should be promoting a safe-sex program and encouraging ju-nior and senior high schools to distribute free condoms to all students who are sexually active or are planning to start a sexu-al relationship soon. I’m sure many parents would back this pro-gram. Hear me out before you consider me to be a stupid kook. Condoms are protection against unwanted pregnancies and unwanted sexually transmitted diseases. Of course, condoms are not 100 percent perfect, but they are much better than no protection at all.

I’m aware that you are a former high school teacher, basketball coach and principal, and you know a lot about working with teens. I commend you for earning a doctorate’s degree in edu-cation. I enjoy your column and I am in concert with about 90 percent of your views.

Now let me get back to the “before you consider me a stupid kook” part. I, too, have a doctorate’s degree in education and teach in the education department at a university in Massachu-setts. Is it possible that I can convince you to change your mind on teenage sexual behavior from abstinence to condom protec-tion? First, I don’t think you will print my e-mail. And next, I don’t think I will change your mind. — Teacher, Massachusetts.

Teacher: Many times, readers — especially those who are learned scholars — can convince me to change my view on various topics. You were wrong about printing your e-mail. I enjoyed reading it. And you were right when you didn’t think I would change my mind. I might have an antiquated philosophy by encouraging teens to avoid sexual activity, but I do agree that if they are going to be sexually active, proper protection is a must! No exceptions accepted.

It’s not the high school’s role to be distributing free condoms to their students. If parents want their teens to use condoms and promote safe sex, have parents hand them out to their teens — at home, free of charge.

Thanks for your stimulating e-mail. It provided me the oppor-tunity to reconfirm my view on premarital teenage sex.

•Dr. Robert Wallace writes for Copley News Service. E-mail him at rwallace@Copley News Service.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Brushing your responsibilities aside, thinking that you’ll take care of them later is likely to be a mistake. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Be complimentary if someone does something worthy of praise, even if this person never ap-plauds anybody else’s work.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — This is one of those days when it will be much better to get straight to the point and down to the purpose at hand.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’re likely to be pegged as be-ing a phony if you try to use flattery in order to gain acceptance. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Do your best to keep a nosy friend out of your affairs, even if you suspect that this time s/he is just trying to be helpful. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Instead of trying to make some-one over into an image of your creation, either accept this per-son for who s/he is, or find a new pal. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Friends won’t take kindly to you trying to take total credit for something they collectively brought about. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Don’t let the behavior of one in-dividual take all the fun out of an involvement with friends. Put plenty of space between you and this person, relax and have a good time.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Be careful not to allow yourself to change your mind in order to please someone, especially if you know your evaluation is based on experience while his/hers isn’t.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Do not treat small, insignificant details with distain when putting together a critical agreement with another. It’s usually these bits and pieces that become all impor-tant with time.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you’re smart, you’ll keep your mind on what is important and forgo wasting time on frivolous activities that are more likely to cost you money than make any. Work first, play later.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Relax, let your hair down and enjoy yourself in your spare time, but don’t do so at the expense of al-lowing overindulgence gain the upper hand. You’ll have a bet-ter time practicing moderation.

JSU reprimandsRick Comegy

JACKSON (AP) — Jack-son State University has formally reprimanded head football coach Rick Comegy for it called inap-propriate comments after Saturday’s 32-30 loss to Alabama State University in Montgomery.

Immediately following the game, Comegy told the JSU radio broadcast in a live interview: “They (expletive) cheated.”

JSU athletics direc-tor Bob Braddy said in a statement Tuesday that the school does not ap-prove of “such unsports-manlike behavior.”

The school said Com-egy later apologized for his remarks during inter-views.

injuries plague vikings

Swinford sets letter jacket policyBy Ernest [email protected]

Athletes at Vicksburg High and Warren Central will be allowed to wear their letter-man’s jacket to functions at the opposing school under a new school district policy announced Tuesday.

Vicksburg Warren School District superintendent Elizabeth Duran Swinford said the new policy, which replaces separate standards at each school, is intended to foster a spirit of unity among the two schools.

“One of the things I’m trying to bring up is a strong sense of community. We are one school district, with one superintendent, one commu-nity. The fact we have two high schools doesn’t change

that,” Swin-ford said. “We have to allow family and friends to visit each other and cel-ebrate with each other.”

The issue came to the forefront last week, when two Vicksburg High bas-ketball players were turned away from Warren Central’s “Meet the Vikings” event. Swinford said the players were denied entry because they were wearing their VHS letterman’s jacket, which vio-lates Warren Central’s dress code for school functions.

Vicksburg High had a sepa-rate policy that allowed stu-dents from other schools

to wear their colors while attending its “Meet the Gators” pep rallies.

Swinford said Warren Cen-tral’s policy was an old one originally intended to avoid confrontations between stu-dents at opposing schools. It had carried over through the years and rarely been broached.

Warren Central’s policy did not extend to actual sporting events or public functions like plays and band compe-titions, just school-specific functions like “Meet the Vikings.”

“It’s one of those unspoken rules that nobody realizes until it’s challenged,” Swin-ford said.

On Tuesday, Swinford met

St. Aloysius soccerbegins rebuildingBy Ernest [email protected]

Coming off the best season in the program’s history, the St. Aloysius Lady Flashes have wiped the slate clean for this go-round.

Gone are nine seniors that led the team to the Class 1A-2A-3A semifinals last January. So is coach Keiko Booth, who resigned to focus on her teaching duties. Replacing them are a horde of young players and a first-time coach that will both learn the ropes as they go along.

“We graduated nine and they only had 15. I think I have four starters coming

back,” new coach Suzie Channell said. “They’re new, I’m new. We’re going to learn this together.”

Although it’s her first coaching job, Channell does have a soccer background. She played for four years in high school at Warren Cen-tral. Before taking over as St. Al’s coach, she spent six years as an athletic trainer for WC and St. Al — a job she

WC struggles don’t sit wellBy Jeff [email protected]

GRENADA — It will be a long off-season for Warren Central’s first-year coach Josh Morgan.

The Vikings wrapped up one of the most disappoint-ing seasons in a generation with Friday’s 15-10 loss at Grenada. Warren Central fin-ished 2-9 and 1-6 in Region 2-6A play, putting it in a tie for last place with Murrah, which won one game this season.

WC’s lone region win came at Murrah, 14-13.

The end result does not sit well with the younger Morgan, who grew up in the Warren Central program as his dad, Robert, led the Vikings to a pair of state titles in 1988 and 1994.

Following the Grenada loss, Morgan knows two areas he must address when the Viking underclassmen met for the first time in the off-season.

“The two things that stick out that we must address is toughness and spirit,” Morgan said. “We were just not physical enough.

We lacked toughness. We also lacked a certain spirit at times — a lack of desire. From now until we start spring practice, we’re going to look at everything.”

The bad news for the Vikings is that they will lose their two biggest playmak-ers, senior quarterback Beau Wallace and wide receiver Malcolm Grant.

Grant came just two recep-tions from tying the Warren Central single-season receiv-ing record of 43 catches held by Cordell Valentine, who just finished his sophomore season at Hinds Community College.

Grant had four catches for 142 yards and one score against Grenada and finished the season with 40 catches for 766 yards and five touch-downs this season.

Grant might have gotten the record, but tight cover-age from Grenada’s Cedric Tillman didn’t allow it.

“That No. 4 (Tillman) played some pretty good cov-erage,” Grant said. “He stuck

with me.”Grant’s last big moment in

a Viking uniform came with three minutes left, when he broke out from a screen pass for a 65-yard touchdown that made it 15-10.

“We ran a little pop screen,” Grant said. “It took a while to get some going.”

The touchdown was Wal-lace’s sixth of the season. He finished with 1,223 yards passing, the highest single-season total in six years.

That is a problem consid-ering Warren Central is known for its strong running game. Against Grenada, the

Vikings had anemic 50 yards on 24 carries. A lot of that was due to playing without fullback Austin Roberts, who was out with a high ankle sprain.

Injuries plagued the Warren Central running game all season. Shon Jack-son went down with a second knee injury in mid-season. The lack of a consistent run-ning game is another area that Morgan must address. Even the pass-happy catch-ing Grant, thinks so.

“We need to be a more bal-anced offense,” Grant said. “I think our defense has a chance to be real good next year. We just need more bal-anced on offense.”

Morgan says the offensive issues will be addressed.

“We’re going to need to sit and take this one in,” Morgan said. “It’s been a dis-appointing season, to say the least. It seemed like we had missed opportunities all season. Tonight, we had two golden chances to start the game and instead turned it over twice in the red zone. That stuff has been conta-gious to us this year. We’ve got a lot to address.”

Gatorsclampdownin winBy Jeff [email protected]

JACKSON — The jury is still out whether this will be the best defen-sive team in Gators coach Dellie C. Robinson’s 19-year tenure at Vicks-burg High.

On Tuesday night at Wingfield’s gym, the Gators (2-0) were quite good. They embarrassed the Falcons, who finished 30-1 last year and were ranked No. 1 for most of the regular season, 70-44. The Falcons (0-1) had no answers for the Gators’ suffocating, half-court man-to-man defense.

“My team in 2003 was probably my best defen-sive team,” Robinson said of his state championship club led by D.J. Jones. “This group can be that good. There was no doubt, it was an outstanding defensive job for 28 min-utes. We got tired at the end, but until then, it was super.”

Wingfield trailed by 34 points going into the fourth quarter. Through three quarters, the Fal-cons made just 11 of 43 shots. And with every miss, the Gators were able to block out and get the rebound.

The Gators’ front court of South Alabama signee Mychal Ammons and cat-quick forwards Josh Gaskin and Kienta Ross all had double-digit rebounding games.

“We’ve made a lot of improvement on defense because we play well together,” said Ammons, who finished with 31 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots. “Kienta and Josh can cover so much ground it makes it easy for me to take chances.”

That’s the plan, said Gaskin.

“We want Mike to have an easy night,” Gaskin said. “The defense was good tonight. It’s not per-

Concussion effects linger for MasoliBy David BrandtThe Associated Press

OXFORD — As Ole Miss makes its final push to become bowl eligible for the third straight season, the Rebels are trying to determine who will start at quarterback against Tennessee on Saturday.

Jeremiah Masoli, who suf-fered a concussion in a 43-21 victory over Louisiana-Lafay-ette last weekend, practiced some on Tuesday but hasn’t been cleared for contact.

“You can tell he took a pretty good hit,” coach Houston Nutt said. “He had some pretty bad headaches on Sunday, threw up a little bit. You just like his attitude because you know he wants to be out there. But we’ve got to go by what the doctors say.”

Masoli suffered the concus-sion late in the first quarter Saturday night, taking a hard hit on a 6-yard touchdown run. The senior actually played the next offensive series, throw-ing a 15-yard touchdown pass,

before train-ers realized he had concus-sion symptoms and pulled him from the game.

Masoli stayed after Tuesday’s practice for extra work with the receiv-ers. He wasn’t made available for interviews.

Nutt said he didn’t have a deadline for making a deci-sion about who will start when Ole Miss (4-5, 1-4 Southeast-ern Conference) faces Tennes-see (3-6, 0-5) on Saturday at Neyland Stadium. The Rebels must win at least three of their final four games to become bowl eligible.

Ole Miss trainer Tim Mullins said Masoli would undergo a battery of tests each day this week, checking for headaches, nausea, sensitivity to light, irritability, sleeping patterns and balance.

Tennessee coach Derek

Dooley said he’d be surprised if Masoli doesn’t play, and that his presence makes the Rebels’ offense difficult to defend because of his ability to run or pass.

“Well, there’s no way you can cheat against them,” Dooley said. “When I say cheat, I mean a lot of teams, depending on their formation, the down and distance and their personnel, you have a pretty good feel for what they’re going to do. Doesn’t mean you’re going to stop it, but you can at least go out there with a plan.

“Here, these guys run a bunch of formations. There’s no real continuity in their plays.”

Sophomore Nathan Stanley subbed for Masoli against Lou-isiana-Lafayette, completing 6 of 14 passes for 108 yards. But the Rebels stuck mostly to the ground, and running backs Brandon Bolden and Enrique Davis combined for 254 yards rushing.

“I felt like I could have been a lot better,” Stanley said. “I

felt really, I guess rusty is the word.”

Stanley was the starter all through spring and summer workouts before Masoli trans-ferred to Ole Miss in early August. The 6-foot-5 sopho-more from Tahlequah, Okla., is more of a pro-style quar-terback than Masoli, with a strong, accurate arm, but lim-ited mobility in the pocket.

Nutt said Stanley’s presence on the field creates a “dras-tic” difference in the offense, with the Rebels leaning on play-action passing instead of Masoli’s strength, which is the option and creating havoc with his ability to run.

Nutt compared Stanley to the team’s quarterback the previous two seasons, Jevan Snead, who was almost strictly a pocket passer.

“We went back to more play-action, more run game, up underneath the center a little more,” Nutt said. “So it’s just a little bit different type of pace.”

Chizik defends NewtonAUBURN, Ala. (AP) — The

Auburn Tigers found them-selves defending quarterback Cam Newton for the second time in five days, this time adamantly sticking up for the Heisman hopeful in the wake of allegations of aca-demic cheating when he was at Florida.

More accusations surfaced Tuesday night when ESPN reported on its website that Newton and his father each had a phone conversation with a Mississippi State recruiter that acknowledged a pay-for-play arrangement for the prized recruit.

Hours before ESPN posted the story, Tigers coach Gene Chizik dismissed the aca-demic cheating report as “pure garbage” in an emo-tional 4-minute, 25-second rant.

“I’m standing up here on a very important week trying to defend something that’s gar-bage,” Chizik said. The sec-ond-ranked Tigers face rival Georgia on Saturday, and that’s where Newton insists his focus lies.

Foxsports.com reported Monday that Newton was caught cheating three times and was to appear for a hear-ing in front of Florida’s Stu-dent Committee facing pos-sible expulsion during the spring semester of 2009.

According to the ESPN report, one of the recruiters said Cecil Newton told him before Cam Newton commit-ted to Auburn that it would take “more than a scholar-ship” for his son to attend Mississippi State. An uniden-tified source told ESPN that another recruiter received a phone call from an emotional Cam Newton after he commit-ted to the Tigers, when he said his father selected Auburn for him because “the money was too much.”

ESPN, citing two other unidentified sources close to the football program, also reported Mississippi State compliance officials relayed the alleged conversations to Southeastern Conference com-

pliance officials in January.Newton transferred from

Florida to Blinn Junior Col-lege in Brenham, Texas, where he played last season. He declined to discuss the Foxsports.com report, which came on the heels of former Mississippi State quarter-back John Bond saying some-one claiming to represent the Newton family sought money during his recruitment by the school.

“I’m not going to entertain something that took place not three months, not six months, not a year but two years ago,” Newton said. “I’m not going to sit up here and say any-thing about it, whether I did or did not do it, because I don’t want to beat a dead horse talk-ing about it. It’s not going to affect me any way, shape or fashion.”

It didn’t against FCS oppo-nent Chattanooga last week-end, when he passed for four touchdowns and 317 yards, all in the first half.

Georgia coach Mark Richt is expecting Newton’s best again.

“All that stuff was swirling last week and it didn’t bother him,” Richt said. “Usually when a guy starts playing ball or even practicing ball, it doesn’t matter what’s going on away from the field. That’s a haven for an athlete. He gets a chance to be in his element and shut everything out, shut the world out, just go have fun and play some ball.”

Newton has denied doing anything wrong in his recruit-ment. A person familiar with the situation has told The Associated Press that the uni-versity has received no letter of inquiry from the NCAA and that an internal review of phone and e-mail records showed no contact with Kenny Rogers, whom ESPN.com cited as the man who approached Bond.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity

because he wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss the matter, said the university also found nothing improper in the per-sonal and church bank records of Newton’s father, an Atlanta pastor.

Minutes before Cam Newton addressed the media Tuesday, Chizik used his opening state-ment for a lengthy defense of his biggest star. He declined to answer questions about the academic situation.

“I’m wasting my time addressing allegations that blow my mind that they’re even out there, because there’s federal privacy laws that dic-tate that these things don’t get out in public,” he said.

Chizik described Newton as a “great human being that comes from a great family” and backed up his quarterback’s Heisman Trophy credentials as well as his character.

“He’s one of the leaders in the Heisman race because he deserves it. That’s a fact,” Chizik said.

Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs also defended Newton from the latest accusation in a strongly worded statement. He reiterated that the quarter-back is eligible.

“These allegations and rumors about Cam Newton are unfortunate and sad because they seem intent on tearing down the reputation of a young man who has done everything we’ve asked him to do,” Jacobs said. “Cam has been and continues to be com-pletely honest with us. Cam is, by all accounts, a great kid.”

Foxsports.com reported that Newton turned in another stu-dent’s paper with his name on it and handed in another paper that was later found to have been purchased off the Internet.

Jacobs said he couldn’t talk about Newton’s academic records because that would violate privacy laws.

“We will not go down that path or stoop to that level as others have apparently done,” he said, adding “emphatically” that he remains eligible.

Murrahplayerssue coach

JACKSON (AP) — Three Murrah High School basket-ball players have sued their coach and the school system over alleged whippings.

The lawsuit was filed Tues-day in federal court in Jackson by attorney Lisa Ross.

Ross contends that a video clip shows a basketball player bent over as a man swings a belt, hitting him three times. The video was made available to Jackson media outlets.

Ross said the man in the video, which was recorded on a cell phone, is Murrah basket-ball coach Marlon Dorsey.

In the lawsuit, which gives only one side of the legal argu-ment, the players contend they were physically and ver-bally abused by the coach.

Dorsey, who has admitted to whipping players, has been on leave since late October. On Oct. 28, school and district officials met with about 30 parents about the matter, but there has been no official word from JPS on Dorsey’s status.

Corporal punishment has been banned in Jackson Public Schools since 1991. District policy says violation of that rule is punishable by disciplin-ary action such as suspension without pay and termination.

The lawsuit alleges a vio-lation of the basketball play-ers’ constitutional rights, and accuses the defendants of invasion of privacy and inflic-tion of emotional distress. The lawsuit seeks unspeci-fied compensatory and puni-tive damages.

In a statement give The Clar-ion-Ledger earlier, Dorsey said, “I took it upon myself to save these young men from the destruction of self and what society has accepted and become silent to the issues our students are facing on a daily basis. I am deeply remorse-ful of my actions to help our students.”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Jerryd Bayless nailed a 15-foot jumper, the Clippers called timeout and Chris Paul sprinted off the bench to give Bayless a soaring shoulder bump.

After a shaky first few out-ings with New Orleans, Bay-less was suddenly taking over a game in the fourth quarter, much like the three-time All-Star he backs up.

Bayless had 15 points and nine assists, fellow reserve guard Willie Green scored 19 points, and the Hornets remained unbeaten with a 101-82 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night.

“It was just, like, finally,” said Bayless, a third-year pro acquired in a trade four days before the opener.

Bayless, a former first-round pick, was shooting 29 per-cent and averaging 2.2 points coming in.

“You could see the frus-tration in his face at times because he knows how to play and sometimes it’s not going as well as he’d like,” Paul said. “So I was just happy to see him smiling and playing well, because we’re going to need that all season long.”

With Paul on the bench, Bay-less and Green took over in the fourth quarter, combining to score the Hornets’ first 19 points to put New Orleans up 89-69.

Green had 15 points in the final period, while Bayless had 11. Their play allowed Paul to sit for the entire quarter.

Together, Green and Bayless were 10 of 12 from the field in the final period and 5-of-5 from the free throw line for 26 points.

Marco Belinelli had 11 points for the Hornets, who shot 50.6 percent overall and 50 percent (8-of-16) from 3-point range. New Orleans also continued to play solid defense, creat-ing 25 turnovers that led to 35 points. Paul and West each had three steals.

Paul had 13 points and eight assists for New Orleans, which is off to a franchise-best 7-0 start.

Elsewhere in the NBA on Tuesday night, it was Indiana 144, Denver 113; Cleveland 93, new Jersey 91; Milwaukee 107, New York 80; Portland 100, Detroit 78; and the Los Ange-les Lakers 99, Minnesota 94.

Millsap, Jazz hand Heat home lossMIAMI (AP) — Dwyane

Wade had 39 points. LeBron James had a triple-double. The Miami Heat had a 22-point lead.

The Utah Jazz were unim-pressed on all counts.

Paul Millsap scored a career-high 46 points — 11 coming in the final 28 seconds of regula-tion as Utah rallied from eight down — and the Jazz stunned the Heat 116-114 in overtime on Tuesday night.

“I guess when it rains, it pours,” Millsap said.

Utah never led by more than three points, which didn’t matter. The Jazz had more than enough at the end, and Francisco Elson’s free throws with 0.4 seconds left won it.

“At some point in the year, unfortunately, we have to go through something like this,”

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

It’s still early, but Utah can make an argument for being the NBA’s comeback kings so far. The Jazz rallied from 18 points down to beat the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night, and dug themselves an even bigger hole this time around, trailing by 22 in the second quarter and 51-32 at halftime while getting run out of Miami’s building.

Deron Williams had 21 points and 14 assists before fouling out late in regulation, and Andrei Kirilenko scored 16 — including a 3-pointer with 1:50 remaining, after which the Jazz wouldn’t trail again.

“It’s speechless, to be down like that to a team like this and to come out with a win,” Millsap said. “We clawed our

way out of it. But this says a lot about our team.”

Wade’s 39 came on 12-of-23 shooting. James finished with 20 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds for his 29th triple-double, the seventh that came in a loss. Chris Bosh scored 17, James Jones added 11 and Carlos Arroyo had 10 for the Heat, who gave up a stagger-ing 84 points after halftime.

Miami still led 98-90 with a half-minute left before Mill-sap caught fire: He hit a trio of 3-pointers, then grabbed the rebound of CJ Miles’ miss from the left corner and scored at the end of regulation to give Utah another 5 minutes.

Millsap, who finished 19 of 28 from the field, had been a 2-for-20 shooter from 3-point range in his career — then went 3 for 3 against Miami.

Reserves preserveHornets’ perfection

New Orleans Hornets guard Jerryd Bayless shoots against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. Bayless scored 15 points in New Orleans’ 101-82 win.

with athletic director Lum Wright, principals and assis-tant principals from both Vicksburg and Warren Cen-tral, as well as their respec-tive junior high schools to come up with a standardized policy.

Under the new rule, stu-dents from Vicksburg High will be allowed to attend future “Meet the Vikings” events at Warren Central — and vice versa — provided they adhere to a written code of conduct.

Athletes participating in sports in the Mississippi High School Activities Asso-ciation must already sign a form promising they will follow the code of conduct. Swinford said athletes in the Vicksburg Warren School District will sign another form when they receive their letterman’s jacket.

“They already have to sign that. We think we should take that a little notch above,” Swinford said, adding that few behavior prob-lems at sporting events had been atributed to athletes. “Our athletes are our lowest number of referrals. They already know they should be good examples.”

Swinford also said athletes will have a more formal cer-emony to receive their letter-man’s jackets. It’s part of an effort to remind athletes what is expected of them, she said.

The school district provides the jackets when an athlete has earned his or her varsity letter.

“We’re just going to start creating an awareness that they’ll exhibit sportsmanship on and off the field,” Swin-ford said.

still has.“It’s trying, but I think I’m

doing all right adjusting,” Channell said. “One of the biggest things is just going to practice not as a trainer, but having to conduct it. Then if somebody gets hurt I have to go back into trainer mode.”

Despite a roster that includes no seniors, two juniors, and nearly a dozen seventh- and eighth-grad-ers, Channell wasn’t shy about preparing her team for another playoff run.

In addition to division foes Madison-St. Joe — which beat St. Al in the North State championship game last season — and Greenville-St. Joe, the Lady Flashes will play a pair of Class 5A schools, Brookhaven and Pearl, and perennial power St. Andrew’s. This week-end, at the season-opening

Tupelo tournament, St. Al will face Class 6A schools Tupelo and Starkville, then have a playoff rematch with Class 3A Corinth.

Channell said the loaded schedule stemmed from a belief that her team, young as it is, can be a contender this season.

“We are rebuilding, but at the same time I’m very com-petitive and the girls I have are very competitive. So I think we can compete now,” Channell said. “People think I’m crazy because I stacked the schedule in the fall to be ready for the playoffs.”

While the Lady Flashes begin their rebuilding pro-cess, the boys team is look-ing to take the next step in theirs.

Following the departure of several key goal-scor-ers from the 2008-09 squad,

the Flashes scored only a handful of goals in a win-less 2009-10 season. Now, a year older, bigger and more experienced, some of the young players that took their lumps last season are think-ing things can turn around this year.

“Losing guys like Adam Thornton, Steven (Mazzanti) and Richard Cowart was hard. That was where all our goals came from. We didn’t have much skill. I think we’ll be a lot better this year,” said freshman midfielder Blake Hudson, who is entering his third varsity season. “We’ve made a lot of improvements on ball-handling and shoot-ing. Hall (Banks) is a great goal keeper. I think we’ll be better all around.”

fect yet, we still have a lot of work to do. I’ve been able to improve my slide step and I’ve gotten better at help and recover. Me and Kienta do what they ask us to do.”

Gaskin finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks. Ross added 11 rebounds, four points and two assists. Wingfield was held scoreless for the first four minutes. The Gators took advantage by getting four free throws from Domi-nique Brown and Ammons, along with two baskets by Ross, to take a 16-6 lead after one quarter.

Wingfield made just 3 of 14 shots in the second quarter and trailed 38-14 at the half.

Wingfield still trailed by 34 with three minutes left when Robinson subbed out his starters. The Falcons man-aged some garbage time bas-kets late to cut it to the final

margin of 26.

(G) Wingfield 62, VHS 44No Donyeah Mayfield meant

another lopsided loss for the Missy Gators (0-2).

Mayfield sat out her second straight game to begin the season for undisclosed reasons.

Wingfield (1-0) took advan-tage by building an 18-point halftime lead and then swapped baskets with the Missy Gators in the second half. The closest Vicksburg got was 14 points.

Shelly Griffith had a game-best 18 points, 16 of which came in the first half and 12 coming off 3-pointers as the Missy Gators left plenty of open spaces for the Lady Fal-cons to shoot.

D’Kirah Atkinson and She-quilla Morris had 10 points each to lead Wingfield.
