Watch money,relationships,Barbour urgesin his farewell

UMC laying off115 employees

By Emily Wagster PettusThe Associated Press

JACKSON — As he bade farewell to lawmakers Wednesday, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour urged them to be mindful of taxpayers as they set state budgets and be patient with each other and with new state leaders because “you can’t do diddly by yourself.”

Barbour, 64, leaves office when his second term ends at noon Tuesday. He will be succeeded by Republican Phil Bryant.

“I promise you, eight years ago, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. But it turned out to be a bunch,” the term-limited Republican said during a nearly half-hour speech to a joint session of the House and Senate.

“Whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, from the hills or the Delta, coast or piney woods, northeast Mississippi or southwest Mississippi, black or white, veteran or freshman — you can’t do diddly by yourself,” said Barbour, speaking with-

By The Associated Press

JACKSON — The University of Mississippi Medi-cal Center in Jackson will lay off 115 employees and leave 90 unfilled positions vacant.

Officials said the layoffs began Wednesday.Dr. James E. Keeton, vice chancellor for health

affairs, said in a statement that the UMMC work force will be about 2 percent smaller than it was at the end of 2011.

Keeton said affected employees include administra-tors, technicians, nurses and support staff.

“This is a very tough decision, but it is impera-tive that we align our costs with our revenues,” Keeton said. “I am truly sorry for the people who are affected, but we have no other option.”

Keeton said a number of factors prompted the

All hands on controlsat new river museumBy Danny Barrett [email protected]

Visitors to the Lower Missis-sippi River Museum and Riv-erfront Interpretive Center will be allowed to tinker with the system of floodways and levees used by the Corps of Engineers to hem the river in its banks.

Virtually, that is, senior proj-ect manager Mike Renacker said Wednesday.

Once the $23 million proj-ect opens in August, a 12-foot display will allow visitors to touch options that will show how flood control features on the river, such as the New Madrid Floodway and the

Morganza Spillway, affect the Mississippi River and Tribu-taries System.

“It’s not just a levee system that keeps the Mississippi River open and protects people on both sides,” Ren-acker told the Vicksburg Lions Club. “It’s an entire system of flood control meth-ods and different floodways.”

Another exhibit in the inter-pretive center to comple-ment an orientation theater, classrooms and meeting space will have moving glass plates to simulate the cre-ation of oxbow lakes on the river between Mississippi and

Teachers pep it upfor return to classBy Pamela [email protected]

With comedy sketches and success sto-ries, teachers and administrators in the Vicksburg Warren School District kicked off the second half of the 2011-2012 school year Wednesday with a spirited mini-con-vocation at the Vicksburg Auditorium.

Amid competing cheers from the dis-trict’s 15 schools in a pep-rally atmo-sphere, the underlying message was to remain energized and committed during a year of change.

Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Swinford, who did not attend because of the death of her mother, said in a phone interview that the session was motivational, designed to highlight successes and provide some fun “to set us off again to finish the school year.”

out a prepared text but using his usual array of colorful phrases.

He told the 122 House members and 52 senators: “You have to be able to work together to get the tooth-paste out of the tube. Civil-ity, comity and best of all col-legiality all are necessary if you’re going to achieve your best as an individual and as a body.”

Barbour urged lawmakers to keep taxes and fees as low as possible. He said families and businesses can do more if they get to keep more of what they earn.

“Some legislators come to Jackson and approach the budget from the perspec-tive of, ‘How much money do I want or think we need to spend on state programs?’ Others start from the per-spective of, ‘How much money do we have to spend?’

And only after seeing what’s available do they focus on how to appropriately divide that amount of money up among our various pro-grams,” Barbour said. “You won’t be surprised to learn that the first group normally wants to spend more than the second group.”

He said everybody should pay some taxes, and he said a large chunk of Mississip-pi’s revenue comes from the sales tax, which is 7 percent on most items.

“The state consumption taxes mean everybody pays something,” he said.

He said the federal govern-ment should allow states to collect taxes on sales made over the Internet, and he argued that allowing states to do so would not be a tax increase on consumers.

“This is not about spend-ing. This is about being able

to collect the money that is already owed to us,” Barbour said.

Barbour also said the 152 local school districts, collec-tively, hold about $615 million in reserve funds and they should dip into that money, if necessary, to offset possible cuts in state funding. School officials have resisted that suggestion by Barbour in the past, saying the reserve funds help them maintain enough money throughout each fiscal year to pay bills as they come due.

Barbour’s wife, Marsha, usually attends his speeches at the Capitol. He apologized for her absence Wednes-day, saying she was a few blocks away overseeing their move out of the antebellum Governor’s Mansion, which he called “the nicest public housing in Mississippi.”

Barbour, a former Washing-

ton lobbyist, explored a pos-sible presidential campaign early last year before saying he didn’t have the “fire in the belly” for an all-out 2012 race. He plans to travel as a paid speaker and work for BGR, the Washington lobby-ing firm he helped found two decades ago. He said he will write a book on responding to natural disasters.

Some freshman lawmakers said they appreciated hear-ing Barbour’s perspective on state government.

“His thoughts on helping business with taxes and let-ting them spend their money to hire more people and leav-ing more of your money in your pocket is really big in my district right now,” said Rep. Timmy Ladner, R-Pop-larville, who defeated a four-term Democrat. “People are struggling.”

decision, including the poor economy and the increase in uninsured and underin-sured patients. He said weak economic conditions have dampened demand for clini-

cal services and increased the ranks of the state’s unem-ployed, who often lose their health insurance along with their jobs.

In addition to the poor

economy, UMMC has been contending with the consid-erable costs of implementing an electronic health record in order to comply with federal regulations.

“Health care is facing many unknowns at the local, state and federal levels and we have to take precautions to respond to that uncertainty,” Keeton said. “Over the long

term, the need for health care and the health profes-sionals we’re training to pro-vide it will only grow.”

Louisiana since 1775. Exhib-its should be in place by July, Renacker said. A staff of three to five people will work in the complex, which has the retired MV Mississippi IV as its centerpiece, Renacker said.

The Corps’ Engineer Research and Development Center will build a scale model of the river’s path between Greenville and Nat-chez to attract children to play in it. A new mock-up was needed when moving an older ERDC model went over-bud-get, Renacker said. Moving the Fairground Street Bridge to the downtown museum — mentioned prominently in the museum’s early phases — also has been shelved. It would have cost about $10 million; the project ended 2011 with about $2.5 million left in its allocation from the Corps.

Ground was broken in 2009 on the museum. The museum concept began in earnest in 1995, when the city purchased the retired towboat for $1. The title was returned to the Corps in 2007, when the vessel was slow-rolled down Wash-ington Street to the museum site on the west side of Wash-ington Street between Jack-son and China streets.

Port Gibsonhires attorneyBy John [email protected]

The Port Gibson Board of Aldermen has hired a city attorney to replace Vicksburg Mayor Paul Winfield, whose resignation officially has been accepted.

In a Tuesday meeting, the board voted 6-0 to hire Natchez lawyer Deborah McDonald for an annual salary of $16,000, said Port Gibson Mayor Fred Reeves. Winfield, who was the city’s attorney for six years, was paid $30,000.

Winfield resigned Dec. 29.McDonald has a bachelor’s

degree from Alcorn State Uni-versity and a law degree from the University of Mississippi School of Law. A resident of Fayette, she has been in pri-vate practice since 1991. She has also worked with South-west Mississippi Legal Ser-vices for nine years, six years as staff attorney and three years as director.

She is the city judge for Fay-ette and represents Jefferson County Hospital and Jeffer-son County Nursing Home in Fayette.

“I welcome the opportunity to assist the city in any way I can to alleviate its financial condition and its other prob-lems,” she said.

COMMUnIty CALEndAR

Vandals tear up two greens at Clear CreekVandalism to putting

greens at Clear Creek Golf Course in Bovina was reported Wednesday, said Stacy Rollison, investiga-tor with the Warren County Sheriff’s Department.

About $3,500 in damage was caused Tuesday night or Wednesday morning by someone driving onto the course and making “donuts” on the greens near holes 13 and 18 of the Tiffintown Road course, Rollison said.

The damage, reported by the groundskeeper just before 9 a.m., follows the still-unsolved Oct. 28 theft of two Yamaha golf carts, valued at $4,000 each, from the course, she said.

Detectives are following leads in both cases, said Sheriff Martin Pace.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 601-636-1761 or Cen-tral Mississippi Crime Stop-pers toll free at 888-827-4637. Crime Stoppers offers up to $2,500 in rewards for informa-tion that leads to an arrest.

Con chased, caught,faces new charges

A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail this morning charged with felony eluding, police Capt. Bobby Stewart said.

Horatio Carson, 25, 2832 U.S. 61 South, led officers on a chase after they attempted to stop him for driving his 1998 Ford Explorer with-out headlights north on U.S. 61 near Grange Hall Road, Stewart said.

Carson made a U-turn,

turned onto Cedars Road and then Hall Road before aban-doning the Explorer and run-ning into the woods, where he was nabbed with the assistance of a K-9 team, said the captain.

Carson was being held without bond for the Mis-sissippi Department of Cor-rections because he was on parole for a 2008 convic-tion on two counts of sale of cocaine. He had been sen-tenced Dec. 5, 2008, to serve eight years in prison. His parole date was unavailable.

Bryant taps ex-Netscape chief Barksdale as interim MDA headBy Jeff AmyThe Associated Press

JACKSON — Gov.-elect Phil Bryant said he plans to name former Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale as the next interim leader of Mississippi’s eco-nomic development agency.

“One of the world’s best entre-preneurs will be the next direc-tor of the Mississippi Develop-ment Authority and that man is Jim Barksdale,” Bryant said.

Bryant said he wants Barks-

dale to con-duct a review of the struc-ture of the Mississippi Develop-ment Author-i ty, which recruits busi-

ness and pro-motes tourism

in the state.“How can we even make

it better?” Bryant asked. “It would be timid for us to

believe we have reached our greatest potential in economic development in the state of Mississippi.”

Bryant said he expected Barksdale to serve at least 90 to 120 days as executive director, although Barksdale expressed a willingness to stay longer if needed. He will be the second interim director in a row for the agency, following current temporary chief Leland Speed. In March, then-Gov. Haley Barbour named Speed, a real

estate developer and previous MDA director, to serve until the next governor took office.

Barksdale, 67, said he would accept the same $1 salary that’s been paid to Speed.

“I’ve learned a lot that hope-fully I can apply here,” Barks-dale said. “Let’s go get ’em.”

Bryant said Barksdale would help find a permanent replace-ment. The governor elect, who will be sworn in Tuesday, said he didn’t want to rush into an appointment.

Bryant reiterated that he hopes the state will spend more effort on developing medicine as an economic driver, push-ing energy development and enhancing tourism.

Barksdale said that state ethics officials have told him that there’s no conflict between the MDA role and his other activities, both his business investments and his philan-thropic efforts aimed at improv-ing public education in Missis-sippi. He said he would work

to avoid problems, and said he believed his promotion of better public schools is a long-term aid to attracting business

“They want their employees’ children to go to good schools,” said Barksdale.

Barksdale worked as a pio-neer in the wireless telephone industry, then served as chief operating officer of what is now FedEx Corp. before becoming CEO of Netscape, the Internet browser company, in 1995.

Texas police kill 8th-grader carrying pellet gunBROWNSVILLE, Texas

(AP) — The parents of an eighth-grader who was fatally shot by police inside his South Texas school are demanding to know why officers took lethal action, but police said the boy was brandishing — and refused to drop — what appeared to be a handgun and that the officers acted correctly.

The weapon turned out to be a pellet gun that closely resem-bled the real thing, police said late Wednesday, several hours after 15-year-old Jaime Gonza-lez was repeatedly shot in a hallway at Cummings Middle School in Brownsville. No one else was injured.

“Why was so much excess force used on a minor?” the boy’s father, Jaime Gonza-lez Sr., asked The Associ-ated Press outside the fam-ily’s home Wednesday night. “Three shots. Why not one that would bring him down?”

His mother, Noralva Gon-zalez, showed off a photo

on her phone of a beaming Jaime in his drum major uni-form standing with his band instructors. Then she flipped through three close-up photos she took of bullet wounds in her son’s body, including one

in the back of his head.“What happened was an

injustice,” she said angrily. “I know that my son wasn’t per-fect, but he was a great kid.”

Interim Police Chief Orlando Rodriguez said the teen was

pointing the weapon at offi-cers and “had plenty of oppor-tunities to lower the gun and listen to the officers’ orders, and he didn’t want to.”

The chief said his officers had every right to do what they did to protect them-selves and other students even though there weren’t many others in the hallway at the time. Police said officers fired three shots.

Shortly before the confronta-tion, Jaime had walked into a classroom and punched a boy in the nose for no apparent reason, Rodriguez said. Police did not know why he pulled out the weapon, but “we think it looks like this was a way to bring attention to himself,” Rodriguez said.

About 20 minutes elapsed between police receiving a call about an armed student and shots being fired, according to police and student accounts. Authorities declined to share what the boy said before he was shot.

Grand jury venue changesought in priest slaying

Teen gets 35 years in JSU killing

By Holbrook MohrThe Associated Press

JACKSON — A lawyer for a man accused of killing a Cath-olic priest has filed a rare legal request to have the case pre-sented to a grand jury from outside the area where the slaying happened.

Jeremy Wayne Manieri, 32, is charged with shooting the priest at a beach house in Wave-land, then setting out with his family for a Walt Disney World vacation in the cleric’s car. He has been charged with killing the Rev. Ed Everitt of Ham-

mond, La., in July 2011, but hasn’t been indicted.

Manieri’s attorney, Brian Alexander, filed a request Tues-day in Hancock County Circuit Court for a change of venue for the grand jury.

JACKSON (AP) — A 17-year-old has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for the 2010 shooting of a Jackson State University researcher.

Jasper Bell was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty in Hinds County Cir-cuit Court to a host of charges,

including the February 2010 aggravated assault and armed robbery of JSU researcher Andrea Scott. Scott was shot twice in the back of the head in the parking lot of the John A. Peoples Jr. Science Build-ing during the robbery on the Jackson campus.

Vicksburg’s Marcy files to run in 2nd DistrictJACKSON — Vicksburg

Republican Bill Marcy, who ran for the House of Repre-sentatives in 2010, has filed to run in the 2nd District.

Cobby Mondale Williams of Canton plans to run in the 2nd District as an independent.

Two of Mis-sissippi’s four congressmen have filed for re-election

— Democrat Bennie Thompson of Bolton in the Delta’s 2nd District and Republican Gregg Harper of Pearl in the central 3rd District.

Former Greenville Mayor Heather McTeer plans to chal-lenge Thompson in the Demo-cratic primary. Cobby Mon-dale Williams of Canton plans to run in the 2nd District as an independent.

Republican incumbents Alan Nunnelee of Tupelo in

the northern 1st District and Steven Palazzo of Biloxi in the southern 4th District are expected to file soon.

Jan. 13 is the deadline to enter the March 13 primaries.

McGrath appointedto head MDOT

JACKSON — The Missis-sippi Transportation Com-mission has named Melinda McGrath as head of the state agency.

McGrath had been deputy executive director and chief engineer since August 2008. She was appointed the Missis-sippi Department of Trans-portation’s interim execu-tive director in February 2011 when the commission fired Larry L. “Butch” Brown.

Her appointment was one of the three-member commis-sion’s first acts Tuesday after being sworn in. Central Dis-

trict Commissioner Dick Hall was chosen as commission chairman.

Hall said McGrath would be paid $127,000 per year, which is less than the $144,000 Brown was making when he was fired.

MEMA to renamebuilding for Barbour

The 2011 Legislature autho-rized the naming of the State Emergency Operations Center in Barbour’s honor for his leadership through several natural disasters that have struck Mississippi, including Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., is scheduled to speak. Barbour will leave office Tuesday after two terms as governor.

OLD POST FILES

STARKVILLE — Both incoming Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and new House Speaker Philip Gunn have tapped savvy, capable second-in-commands in new Senate President Pro Tempore Terry W. Brown of Columbus and House Speaker Pro Tem-pore Greg Snowden of Meridian.

In the Senate, Reeves tapped Brown, a former small-business man first elected in 1987, who served three terms in the House before being elected to the state Senate in 2003. Brown is now in his third term in the state Senate.

Brown is a gregarious fellow who never meets a stranger and who learned much of his personal style as a lawmaker from the late Sen. Jack Gordon, a close friend and col-league. Along the way, Brown helped lead the successful legislative strategies to bring SteelCorr — the high-quality flat-rolled steel mill that makes products for the “Detroit South” emerging auto industry — to the Golden Triangle with a combination of $110 million in state loans, grants, and construc-tion assistance from the state.

Known for a ready smile and the love of downhome humor, Brown is a bare-knuckle adversary in a legislative fight and one who fights for his beliefs. But he is also skilled in counting votes and seizing on the narrow legislative windows when agreements can be salvaged from standoffs.

The experience in both Houses that Brown

has accrued will be of immeasurable value to Reeves.

Across the Capitol, Gunn chose Snowden, the easy-going but brilliant Meridian attor-ney. Snowden was first elected in 1999. Snowden earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama and his law degree from Vanderbilt University. He earned his Phi Beta Kappa key while in college.

Democrats in the House know Snowden as an intensely loyal Republican who remains at the same time honest about the issues and one who calls “balls and strikes” fairly. A member of the House Rules Committee, Snowden was able to maintain relationships with members of the House Black Caucus and rural white Democrats despite being seriously offended by what he called “the lack of a seat at the table” for Republicans during former House Speaker Billy McCoy’s tenure.

The differences in Brown and Snowden are more in style than in substance. In football parlance, Brown is a guy who will go straight up the middle. Snowden is more of a finesse player seeking the edge. Brown is passionate where Snowden is calculating.

But both Brown and Snowden complement the leaders that they are serving.

Republicans have the reins — all of them — in state government. The challenge to them now will be how effectively they can govern. Their success or the lack of it remains to be seen, but the leadership team in both houses is shaping up with talented lawmakers who know how to get things done.

Q: My hobby is playing with the stock market. I don’t believe you need to be wealthy to make some investments. I have $1,600 in a mutual fund and $950 in various stocks. I watch these daily, and it seems I know when to hold them and when to fold them. I put $50 a month in my mutual fund and

invest $60 monthly i n my various stocks.

When a new com-pany offered free shares

back in 1996, I accepted them and put them in my nick-name of “Peggy.” Now those shares are worth over $1,000. I don’t know how to prove that “Peggy” and “Margaret” are the same person so I can move them into my brokerage account. — M.J., via e-mail

A: You don’t need to be wealthy to make many invest-ments. But more often than not, unless you’re work-ing with clear knowledge, you can almost count on one thing: You’ll be a little bit less wealthy. I’m delighted you have had some successes, but understand this: The day

trader, which is what you’re describing, is destined to fail. You are competing with com-puters that can buy and sell a given security in the same time you might be able to just think about the notion. Very few people are going to consis-tently beat the computer.

Whether you are using a broker or only the direct services, in my opinion, you need a professional to do what you’re trying to do. If you’re going to be a serious inves-tor, you’re going to need a good broker. They have a ton of information at their finger-tips to which you do not have access. That would include how to make this transfer.

The only way I know to make this transfer into a brokerage account is to find a broker whom you can trust and have the broker clear this up for you. I know several people who do not use their legal names for many transactions, and when presenting ID it can become a bit tricky. Take with you to the broker anything you might have with your nickname on it — such as bills or correspon-dence — and let the broker lead you in what needs to be done to accomplish this.

BP oil spill paymentsresume after fee wrinkle

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Payments to those damaged by BP’s massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico resumed Wednesday, a day after admin-istrators of the $20 billion fund stopped the flow of money, saying they were unclear on how to assess a 6 percent fee for lawyers handling claims.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier said pay-ments made after Dec. 30 must include a 6 percent fee for trial lawyers affiliated with a com-mittee helping plaintiffs with litigation against BP PLC.

The Gulf Coast Claims Facil-ity said it froze payments Tuesday in response to the Dec. 28 ruling that said dis-

bursements made on and after Nov. 7, 2011, should include the fee.

Barbier’s clarification spared the facility the prospect of asking 9,000 people com-pensated in November and December to pay for attor-neys’ fees. About $260 mil-lion had been paid to claim-ants between Nov. 7 and the end of December, the facility said. Nov. 7 was the date when plaintiffs’ attorneys first asked the court to establish a fund to cover fees. The April 20, 2010, explosion off the southeastern Louisiana coast killed 11 work-ers and spilled more than 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

Tokyo tuna fetches record $736,000TOKYO (AP) — This tuna is

worth savoring: It cost nearly three-quarters of a million dollars.

A bluefin tuna caught off northeastern Japan fetched a record 56.49 million yen, or about $736,000, today in the first auction of the year at Tokyo’s Tsukiji fish market. The price for the 593-pound tuna beat last year’s record of 32.49 million yen.

The price translates to 210,000 yen per kilogram, or $1,238 per pound — also a record, said Yutaka Hasegawa, a Tsukiji market official.

Though the fish is undoubt-edly high quality, the price

has more to do with the cele-bratory atmosphere that sur-rounds the first auction of the year.

The winning bidder, Kiyoshi Kimura, president of Kiyo-mura Co., which operates the Sushi-Zanmai restaurant chain, said he wanted to give Japan a boost after last year’s devastating tsunami.

“Japan has been through a lot the last year due to the disas-ter,” a beaming Kimura told AP Television News. “Japan needs to hang in there. So I tried hard myself and ended up buying the most expensive one.”

Kimura also said he wanted

to keep the fish in Japan “rather than let it get taken overseas.”

Last year’s bid winners were Hong Kong entrepre-neur Ricky Cheng, who runs the Hong Kong-based chain Itamae Sushi, and an upscale Japanese restaurant in Tokyo’s Ginza district.

This year’s record tuna was caught off Oma, in Aomori prefecture and just north of the tsunami-battered coast.

Bluefin tuna is prized for its tender red meat. The best slices of fatty bluefin — called “o-toro” here — can sell for 2,000 yen, or $24, per piece at tony Tokyo sushi bars.

Obama unveiling pared-down military planWASHINGTON (AP) —

President Barack Obama is putting his personal stamp on a retooled Pentagon strat-egy for absorbing hundreds of billions of dol-lars in defense budget cuts, marking a turning point in U.S. secu-rity pol icy after a decade of war.

Obama planned to make a rare appearance in the Pentagon press briefing room today to announce results of a strategy

review he ordered last spring. The aim was twofold: Stream-line the military in an era of tighter budgets and reassess defense priorities in light of China’s rise and other global changes.

Obama’s decis ion to announce the results him-self underscores the political dimension of Washington’s debate over defense sav-ings. The administration says smaller Pentagon budgets are

a must but will not come at the cost of sapping the strength of a military in transition, even as it gets smaller.

In a presidential election year, the strategy gives Obama a rhetorical tool to defend his Pentagon budget-cut-ting choices. Republican con-tenders for the White House already have criticized Obama on a wide range of national security issues, including mis-sile defense, Iran and planned reductions in ground forces.

Obama also wants the new strategy to represent a pivot point in his stewardship of defense policy, which has been burdened throughout

his presidency by the wars he inherited and their drag on resources.

The revamped strategy, to be outlined at a news conference also attended by Defense Sec-retary Leon Panetta and the Joint Chiefs chairman, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, is not expected to radically alter defense priorities.

It might set the stage, how-ever, for expected cutbacks in Europe and big weapons programs.

It also will move the U.S. fur-ther from its long-standing goal of being able to success-fully fight two major regional wars

Stocks fallon concernover banksin Europe

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell today as renewed concern about Europe out-weighed positive jobs news in the U.S. The euro fell to a 15-month low against the dollar and stocks fell sharply in Italy and Spain.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 122 points, or 1 percent, to 12,297 in morning trading. The S&P 500 index fell 11 points to 1,266, and the Nasdaq fell 13 points to 2,635.

Stocks were down sharply in European countries with the biggest debt problems. Indexes in Italy, Greece and Spain fell more than 2 percent. Markets in the bigger, more stable econo-mies of Britain, Germany and France fell slightly. The euro dropped to $1.28, its lowest level since Septem-ber 2010.

Barnes & Noble plunged 25 percent after the book store chain lowered its profit fore-cast and said it might sep-arate its electronic book and reader business from its bricks-and-mortar book-stores. The company’s Nook reader has been positioned as a competitor to Amazon Inc.’s hugely successful Kindle and Apple Inc.’s iPad.

changes and attended more meetings this year than ever, but the increased demands have been challenging and beneficial.

“I hear a lot of longing for the good old days, but after 30 years of doing this I can tell you, every good old day began with a good new day, like today,” she said.

A highlight of the pro-gram was Sherman Avenue Elementary speech thera-pist Shirley Stuart, perform-ing as hillbilly “Sadie Mae,” offering comic commentary on modern teaching meth-ods, students, and teachers, and her own take on accept-ing change — exchanging an old mule for new horse on a carrot farm.

“Give it a little time and energy and it’s going to be much better in the end,” she said.

Some VWSD teach-ers reported in October, at public meetings Swinford called to facilitate commu-nication with her office, that they were “anguished” over the difficulties presented by longer school days, inflex-ible schedules and a manda-tory, districtwide 90-minute reading block Swinford initi-ated. Teachers reported feel-ing exhausted and distressed over new requirements.

But changes have included the institution of new pro-grams, such as the Associ-ated Program for Transition aimed at preventing drop-

outs and helping overage stu-dents catch up, that are reap-ing rewards.

Longtime Warren Central High School English teacher JoAnn Oliver, this year teaching small-group, strug-

gling readers in the APT, told the assembly she has seen students gain as many as five grade levels with the program.

“I not only get to see them succeed on a test, but also

grow as students, in their reading and in their confi-dence,” said Oliver. “Stu-dents who were without hope, who believed that they couldn’t do it, have become confident young adults who see a future where they can accomplish any goal they set for themselves.”

In building teen reading skills, she said, the program also “creates future parents who will read to their chil-dren. The cycle of the non-reader has been broken.”

VWSD students returned to classes today follow-ing Christmas vacation that began Dec. 20. The third nine-week term will end March 9, with spring break following on March 12 through 16. The fourth nine-week term will run from March 19 to May 24.

Attacks targeting Shiites kill 72 in IraqBAGHDAD (AP) — A wave

of bombings targeting Shiites in Iraq killed 72 people today, deepening sectarian tensions that exploded just after the last American troops left the country in mid-December.

The coordinated attacks tar-geting Shiites bore the hall-marks of Sunni insurgents linked to al-Qaida, although there was no immediate claim of responsibility.

The bombings began early in the morning when explosions struck two Shiite neighbor-hoods in Baghdad, killing at least 27 people. A few hours later, a suicide attack hit Shiite pilgrims heading to the holy Shiite city of Karbala, kill-ing 45, said provincial official Quosay al-Abadi. The explo-sions took place near Nasiri-yah, about 200 miles southeast of Baghdad. Hospital officials confirmed the causalities.

The blasts occurred in the run-up to Arbaeen, a Shiite holy day which marks the end of 40 days of mourning that follow the anniversary of the death of Imam Hussein, a revered Shiite figure. During this time, Shiite pilgrims from across Iraq make their way to

Karbala, south of Baghdad.Baghdad military spokes-

man Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said the aim of the attacks is “to create turmoil among the Iraqi people.” He said it was too early to say who was behind the bombings.

The new violence will only exacerbate the country’s polit-ical crisis pitting politicians from the Shiite majority who dominate the government

against the Sunni minority, which reigned under the dic-tatorship of Saddam Hussein.

Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s government issued an arrest warrant for the country’s top Sunni politician last month. The Sunni official, Vice President Tariq al-Hash-emi, is holed up in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region in the north — effectively out of reach of state security forces.

Fears have already been run-ning high that the sectarian tensions could re-ignite Shiite-Sunni warfare that just a few years ago pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war.

The attacks were the deadli-est in Baghdad since Dec. 22, when blasts killed 69 people in mostly Shiite neighborhoods.

The last U.S. soldiers left Iraq Dec. 18, ending a nearly nine-year war.

Ex-Israeli leader Olmertaccused of seeking bribes

JERUSALEM (AP) — Former Israeli Prime Minis-ter Ehud Olmert was indicted today on new corruption charges for seeking hun-dreds of thousands of dol-lars in bribes in a wide-rang-ing real estate scandal that dwarfs other cases in which he’s accused.

According to the indictment, millions of dollars illegally changed hands to promote projects, including a contro-versial housing development in Jerusalem that required a radical change in zoning laws and earned the developers tax breaks and other benefits.

Jerusalem residents have long suspected that the hulk-i n g H o l y -land housing development, built on a

prominent hilltop, was

tainted. Olmert was the city’s mayor when the project ballooned.

Olmert is already standing trial on separate charges of accepting illicit funds from a U.S. supporter and double-bill-ing groups for trips abroad.

Afghani president to U.S.:Hand over Bagram prison

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — President Hamid Karzai demanded today that the U.S. detention center at Bagram Air Base be handed over to Afghan control within a month, along with all Afghan citizens held by the coalition troops across the nation.

A statement said that keep-ing Afghan citizens impris-oned without trial violates the constitution and international human rights conventions.

The prison, inside the sprawl-ing U.S. base at Bagram north of Kabul, abuts a well-known public detention center known as Parwan, which is run jointly

by Afghan authorities and the U.S. military.

It’s unclear how many high-value detainees are being held

at the U.S. facility.

A statement from Karzai said he issued instructions to a commission “to complete their job regarding the handing over of the (Bagram) prison and other prisoners who are held by foreign forces.”

Television, lecture circuitcould be calling Bachmann

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Michele Bachmann’s decision to end her presidential cam-paign leaves the Minnesota Republican with another big one: whether to seek a fourth term in the U.S. House or direct her newfound political celebrity elsewhere.

Bachmann would be heav-ily favored to keep her seat in the Republican-leaning 6th District unless it’s reshaped by redistricting early this year. But after months in the national spotlight of the presi-dential race, she could deter-mine she’d be more influential in a different role.

“I don’t think she’ll run for re-election,” Kent Kaiser, a Minnesota GOP operative who supports Mitt Romney for president but remains a Bachmann fan, wrote in an e-mail. She could try instead for an appointment in a new Republican administration, he wrote, or consider a spot on the speaking circuit.

Kaiser said Bachmann might try to model her path after the one taken by another Tea Party favorite, Sarah Palin, who as John McCain’s run-ning mate in 2008 was the first woman on a national GOP ticket. Palin, who weighed a 2012 presidential run herself, resigned as Alaska’s gover-nor to join the speaking circuit and write a book.

“She must look at Palin and believe she could be even better in the media, as a king-maker, and as a speaker,” Kaiser said.

Bachmann didn’t tip her hand about future political plans during her concession speech Wednesday in Des Moines but vowed to remain engaged in issues, especially in her opposition to changes in federal health care law.

“Make no mistake: I will con-tinue to fight for our country,” she said.

Bachmann’s strength is con-siderable in her district, which starts in the suburbs east of St. Paul and loops north to St. Cloud. Though she spent much of the past half-year out of state on the presidential trail, no Republican or notable Democrat dared announce a campaign for her seat. In pre-vious races, Bachmann raised piles of money and easily han-dled well-funded Democratic opponents; the woman Bach-mann defeated in 2010 moved to another district to try her luck this year against a less formidable incumbent.

“It’s hard to see who would want to or be able to mount a serious challenge to her if she wants to run for re-elec-tion,” said Harry Niska, a Republican activist in the 6th District.

David FitzSimmons, chair-man of the 6th District Repub-lican Party, said Bachmann would be able to argue that she shifted the tone of the GOP presidential race to the right, particularly in her strong and repeated denun-ciations of President Obama’s health care overhaul.

“Because of her, that entire field had to go on the record on that issue, they had to fight over who would be the fast-est to repeal Obamacare,” said Fitzsimmons. He said he does not know Bachmann’s plans but assumes she will run again.

Her deadline to file for reelec-tion isn’t until June 5, though she’d likely get in sooner than that.

Jindal stands by Perryfor GOP nomination

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal said Wednesday he’s not giving up on Rick Perry as a contender for the Republican presiden-tial nomination, despite the Texas governor’s poor show-ing in the Iowa caucuses.

Jindal said he still believes in Perry’s viability and stands by his endorsement.

“I’m not a fair-weather friend. It doesn’t matter to me where he is in the polls,” the Louisiana Republican said. “Every week it seems like there’s somebody else in first place or last place. I mean this is probably one of the most unpredictable nominating pro-cesses I’ve ever seen.”

Jindal campaigned with Perry in the final days before the Iowa caucus voting, the first ballots cast of the 2012 presidential race. Perry came

in fifth, with 10 percent of the vote. But after saying Tuesday night he was reassessing his campaign, he said Wednesday that he wasn’t ending his bid to be the Republican nominee to challenge President Barack Obama.

Perry picked up Jindal’s sup-port in September, when the Texas governor was consid-ered a leading candidate.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Philadelphia, Mem-phis and New Orleans agreed on a multi-player trade Wednesday involv-ing front-court player Marreese Speights and young swingman Xavier Henry.

The 76ers sent Speights to Memphis, the Grizzlies moved Henry to New Or-leans and the Grizzlies and Hornets each sent a second-round draft pick to Philadelphia.

After many delays, rivalry resumesVicksburg and Warren Central meet in crucial division contestBy Ernest [email protected]

Warren Central and Vicks-burg High coaches carefully arranged their schedules this season, trying to strike a bal-ance of playing enough tough games to prepare for the postseason with days off for rest and breaks between the most important games.

A few days of rain in December changed all that.

Twice, the first meeting of the season between WC and VHS was rained out. It was finally rescheduled for tonight at Memorial Stadium, creating a stretch of division games that essentially com-press the season down into

one week.It will be the second of

three division games in eight days for Vicksburg. Warren Central will begin a run of four division games in nine days starting today. When it’s all over, the playoff picture in Division 3-6A will largely be settled.

WC and Vicksburg will play again Tuesday at Viking Stadium.

“That’s what happens when there’s rainouts. Sometimes it falls into place like that,” WC girls coach Trey Banks said. “Mentally, we have to be ready every game, because one mistake can cost you a chance at the playoffs.”

Banks’ Lady Vikes (8-5-2)

have some margin for error. They have played only one division game — a 7-0 rout of Greenville-Weston in Decem-ber — and can take advan-tage of the tiebreaker rules to reach the playoffs. Playoff berths in soccer are decided by goal differential, not wins and losses, so WC’s four remaining games against Vicksburg and Clinton are basically two long games.

Banks said the postpone-ment gives WC an edge in that regard, so it knows exactly what’s needed against Vicksburg (5-6, 0-2 Division 3-6A). The Missy Gators lost 5-0 to Clinton in December and 2-1 on Tuesday.

“Them playing Clinton gives us a good idea of goal differential. It’s always good knowing that, so you know if you have a chance at the divi-sion championship,” Banks said.

Vicksburg, meanwhile, already has two division losses and can’t afford to slip up again. It can survive a single loss to Warren Cen-tral, provided it can make up the goal difference, but two losses would end its playoff hopes.

VHS coach Kori Babb said she likes the way her team is playing, even after the most recent loss to Clinton. The

Recreation complex saga needs a storybook finishIn the saga of new recre-

ation facilities in the city, citi-zens have a right to wonder.

Is this thing ever going to be built? The city has spent $3 million since 2003 with little more than few shovels of dirt moved for its trouble.

The project to give Vicks-burg a new recreation com-plex has endured more false starts than a nervous offen-sive line facing the league’s best pass rush.

Mayor Paul Winfield’s plan to borrow $18.5 million to $19.5 million, which would be paid back in higher taxes on restaurants and lodging over 15 years, is yet another chap-ter in the ongoing recreation complex saga. Is it the right move? With the economy struggling, raising taxes is

never the best of ideas. But wherever the money

comes from, the city needs a new recreation complex desperately.

The location would be important. The city bought 200 acres in 2003 off Fisher Ferry Road and plans to build the center there were derailed by the understand-able need to repair the rail-road bridge on Washington

Street. The Fisher Ferry site still sits vacant. A proposal to build a new complex at Halls Ferry ran into environmen-tal issues in 2008, as the site used to be the city’s dump.

Whatever site is picked needs to be convenient to restaurants and shopping and be easily accessible to out-of-towners.

But there are several points all can agree on. Halls Ferry Park, the home of the Gov-ernor’s Cup, is inadequate to the task. The facilities there are too small, rapidly aging and are unable to attract the big tournaments thanks to their lack of amenities that other facilities have.

Cities throughout the state, bigger and smaller, have built facilities and

are already bidding to host state and national baseball and softball tournaments. Travel ball tournaments are a definite shot in the arm for local businesses, as teams bring their families to town for several days at a time. People have to eat, sleep and buy gas, all of which would be much-needed economic activity. Bring a state tourna-ment to town and the activity will increase. Win a bid on a national tournament and watch that activity quintuple.

The competition already is ahead in the race and contin-ues to build a huge lead that only gets bigger by the day.

Southaven has a new com-plex. So does Petal. There’s no excuse for a place with such a marvelous central

location within easy driving distance of several states not to at least be in the game.

When I was a kid, my older cousin saw me put one piece of shrimp on my hook, ready to cast it into a honey hole in Mobile Bay after a large school of speckled trout feed-ing furiously.

“Son, if you want to catch the bigger fish,” he said, swapping out the shrimp for a big piece of cut bait from some mullet we netted ear-lier. “You’ve got to have the bigger bait.”

Vicksburg needs some bigger bait, pronto.

GoldenEaglessurviveC-USAopenerBy The Associated Press

HATTIESBURG — LaShay Page scored 20 points and Darnell Dodson added 17 to push Southern Miss past East Carolina 78-76 in the Con-ference USA opener for both teams Wednesday night.

The Golden Eagles (14-2) never trailed, but had to fight off a late East Car-olina rally sparked by Pirates forward Darrius Morrow, who scored 12 of his game-high 23 points in the second half.

Southern Miss won the rebounding battle 35-25, including three out of the four rebounds after the 1:28 mark in the second half when East Carolina (9-5) was making its push.

Torye Pelham, then Rashard McGill pulled down rebounds after teammates missed the front end of two 1-and-1 opportunities in the final minute.

Miguel Paul scored 19 for East Carolina, includ-ing a final free throw that pulled the Pirates within two with 2.8 seconds left, but Pelham rebounded his second shot and cleared it out as time expired to snap the Pirates’ five-game winning streak.

“The effort late was the difference in the game,” Southern Miss coach Larry Eustachy said. “I think a lot of rebounding is desire, and we work on it an awful lot in the prac-tice. If we get in those sit-uations late in games we want to be prepared.”

The Golden Eagles are

MIAMI — Carlos Zambrano will get a much-needed fresh start with the Miami Marlins.

The Chicago Cubs traded their former ace Wednesday for Mar-lins right-hander Chris Volstad, pending physicals and approval by Major League Baseball, a person familiar with the negotiations said. The person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams hadn’t announced a deal.

Zambrano wore out his welcome in Chicago because of repeated meltdowns and tantrums. The most recent came when he cleaned out his locker and talked about retir-ing after giving up five homers and being ejected during a loss to Atlanta on Aug. 12. He was sus-pended without pay and then it was decided he would sit out the rest of the season.

nflFormer Bears, Cowboys receiver Hurd indicted

DALLAS — A federal grand jury has indicted former NFL wide receiver Sam Hurd on drug conspir-acy and possession charges after he and another man were accused of trying to establish a drug-dealing network.

The indictment Wednesday accuses Hurd and codefendant Toby Lujan on single counts of cocaine possession and conspiracy to possess cocaine. It also seeks for-feiture of $88,000 in cash by Lujan and a 2010 Cadillac Escalade by Hurd.

If convicted, both could be sen-tenced to 10 years to life in prison.

Hurd was arrested Dec. 14 out-side a Chicago steakhouse after authorities said he agreed to buy a kilogram of cocaine from an under-cover agent. The Chicago Bears cut the former Dallas Cowboys receiver Dec. 16, two days after his arrest.

Fox NFL ratings its highest since 1995

NEW YORK — Regular-season NFL ratings on Fox were the net-work’s highest in 16 years.

Games averaged a 12.0 rating and 24 share, up 2 percent from last year’s 11.8/24, according to Nielsen Media Research. Fox said Wednes-day it was its best NFL rating since a 12.5/29 in 1995 and it marked the first time since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger that the NFC package had an increase in ratings in three straight years.

Fox averaged 20.1 million viewers, tying 2010 as its most-viewed NFL season.

Southern Miss guard Angelo Johnson goes up for a shot as East Carolina’s Miguel Paul, right front, and Maurice Kemp defend Wednesday.

Missy Gators held the power-ful Lady Arrows to one goal in each half and picked up the intensity after being out-shot 11-0 in the first half.

“I’m very pleased with the way they played. Our defense played very well after they settled down,” Babb said. “I’m very happy that we held (Clinton) to two.”

The December postpone-ment benefited Warren Cen-tral’s boys team. If the game had gone on as originally scheduled, the Vikings would have been playing without three starters out with physi-cal ailments. Two weeks later, Jade Pollock (back) and Dani McKay (illness) are both expected back in the lineup. Only Michael Mason (knee) will be out.

“We’re excited that we’re getting some of our players back. We’re working on some things, switching things up since we’re getting back to

full strength,” WC coach Greg Head said.

Like the girls’ team, WC’s boys (10-3-2, 1-0) also enter tonight’s game with a 1½ game lead over Vicksburg (2-7-3, 0-2) in the division standings. Vicksburg was crushed by Clinton on Tues-day, 9-0, while the Vikings have played well and been ranked in some state polls this season.

Head isn’t taking the Gators lightly, though. It’s a similar situation to last season, when WC finished with a better overall record but Vicksburg won both reg-ular-season meetings and went to the playoffs. Head said it was important for his team to play hard in both games against VHS.

“You’ve got to play goal dif-ferential. Even if we win, it’s not a shoo-in,” Head said.

winners of 10 straight games to match the best winning streak since the 1990-1991 season. Dodson has scored in double-digits in five of the last six games despite aver-aging less than 25 minutes of playing time per contest.

Page came up big for South-ern Miss time and again, shooting 6 of 13 with six 3-pointers.

Four came with Southern Miss leading by fewer than three points.

“He’s obviously got the green light out there,” Eustachy said. “You don’t want to curtail his selection out there, because with a guy like him you want him to be out there with a lot of confidence.”

Southern Miss led by as many as 10 in the first half, but held a 41-37 lead at the break after Morrow hit a couple of jumpers and Paul added a 3-pointer just before the half.

The Golden Eagles led until the 5:52 mark in the second half, when Paris Campbell’s

3-pointer tied the game for the first time since the open-ing tipoff at 64-64.

Just under a minute later, an alley-oop from Neil Watson to Pelham gave Southern Miss its final lead and brought the crowd of 2,889 to its feet.

Maurice Kemp added 14 for East Carolina and led the Pirates in rebounds with six. East Carolina shot a season-high 52.9 percent from the floor (27 of 51).

“East Carolina is a tough team,” Page said. “We went up 12 in the second half and they wouldn’t go away. We got two big rebounds there at the end and it made the difference in the game. They have great guards and great big men and if we hadn’t have gotten those rebounds anything could have happened.”

Pelham was the only player to reach double figures in rebounds with 10.

Neil Watson and Maurice Bolden chipped in 11 and 10 points for Southern Miss.

West Virginia obliterates ClemsonMIAMI (AP) — As the West

Virginia Mountaineers cele-brated their first Orange Bowl victory, safety Darwin Cook shared a hug with the game’s mascot, Obie.

They had run into each other earlier in the end zone when Cook scored the night’s piv-otal touchdown, then leaped on the smiling orange. Only after the game did he learn a woman was wearing the Obie outfit.

“I didn’t know you were a girl,” he told her. “I apologize.”

The Mountaineers ran over everything in their path Wednesday night, including the Clemson Tigers. Geno Smith tied the record for any bowl game with six touch-down passes, and the No. 23-ranked Mountaineers set a bowl scoring record with their high-powered offense by rout-ing No. 14 Clemson 70-33.

But it was a defensive player — Cook — who made the most memorable play by returning a fumble 99 yards for a touch-down to break the game open. Standing in the side-line, Smith watched a video replay of Cook’s touchdown in disbelief.

“Crazy, man,” Smith said. “When I saw that, I knew things were breaking our way.”

Cook collided comically with mascot Obie after scoring one of the Mountaineers’ five TDs in the second quarter, includ-ing three in the final 2:29 for a 49-20 lead. It was the high-est-scoring half by a team in a bowl game.

“I always envisioned making great plays,” Cook said. “If you think it will happen, it will happen.”

Tavon Austin tied a record for any bowl game with four touchdown catches. Smith went 31 for 42 and had 401 yards passing to break Tom Brady’s Orange Bowl record. Smith also ran for a score, helping West Virginia break the bowl record for points established six nights earlier when Baylor beat Washington 67-56 in the Alamo Bowl.

“Never could we imagine we’d put up 70 points,” Smith said.

“It was like a virus,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said.

The Mountaineers (10-3) won in their first Orange Bowl appearance and improved to 3-0 in Bowl Championship Series games.

“Our guys felt like they weren’t getting too much credit,” West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. “And they wanted to make a state-ment in this game.”

Clemson (10-4) lost playing in its first major bowl in 30 years. Despite the drubbing, Swinney said, the wait for a return trip won’t be so long.

“It won’t be 30 years,” Swin-ney said. “We’ll be back.”

The offensive showcase was the latest in a succession this bowl season, and perhaps the last. Defense is expected to dominate in the final BCS game Monday night, when Louisiana State faces Ala-bama for the national title.

West Virginia totaled 589 yards and 31 first downs. Smith was chosen the game’s outstanding player but gave Austin an assist.

“He won me an MVP,” Smith said. “He’s one of the quickest guys I’ve ever seen, and it’s just a blessing to have a guy like him on my team.”

Austin had 11 receptions, scoring on passes of 8, 27, 3 and 37 yards.

“I do know who the fastest kid on the field was,” Hol-gorsen said. “We made a con-scious effort to get him the ball a bunch, and whenever we got him the ball, he made things happen.”

Clemson couldn’t keep up with the Big East Conference co-champions, although Andre Ellington did score the game’s first points on a 68-yard run. First-team All-Americans

Sammy Watkins and Dwayne Allen combined for only seven catches for 87 yards.

“We didn’t play too good,” Watkins said. “We’ve got the whole next year to get right.”

Amid the flurry of points, defensive back Cook came up with second-longest play in Orange Bowl history.

Clemson was on the verge of taking the lead in the second quarter when Ellington ran up the middle and disappeared into a heap at the 1. A team-mate signaled touchdown, but the ball came loose and Cook grabbed it, then took off with nothing but the end zone in front of him.

“Cook was the only one in the stadium who knew the ball was out,” teammate Bruce Irvin said. “That was a heads-up play.”

76ers have a Holiday in New OrleansNEW ORLEANS (AP) —

The road-weary Philadelphia 76ers were struggling to hit outside shots until Jrue Holi-day took over.

Holiday scored 14 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, leading the 76ers to a 101-93 win over the New Orleans Hor-nets on Wednesday night.

Holiday, who was 3 for 9 from the field after three quarters, drained three 3-pointers and five of six shots the rest of the way. The 76ers trailed 73-67 at the end of the third, but Holiday scored 10 points down the stretch as Philadel-phia extended an 84-83 lead to 98-89.

“I was hot like a pistol,” he said. “I don’t know. I just looked to be aggressive and luckily tonight it was falling for me in the fourth quarter.”

In a little more than 9 min-utes, Holiday almost matched his total of four 3-pointers through the first four games. His torrid stretch made up for off nights from veterans Andre Iguodala and Louis Williams, who had combined to go 21 of 36 on 3-pointers through four games. They missed all five of their long-range attempts against the Hornets, with Iguodala responsible for four.

“We just tried to grind it out,” Holiday said. “I guess the young guys really put in our work tonight. Maybe next time, it will be the old guys.”

Second-year pro Evan Turner added 21 points and Spencer Hawes scored 17 for the 76ers, who won for the third time during a franchise-

record five-game road trip to start the season.

Eric Gordon led New Orleans with 22 points after missing four consecutive games with a bruised knee. Carl Landry added 21 points and eight rebounds while Jarrett Jack had 19 points and 11 assists,

but it wasn’t enough to keep the Hornets from losing their fourth in a row.

“They’re frustrated,” New Orleans coach Monty Wil-liams said. “They’re competi-tors and it didn’t go our way tonight. Philadelphia had a lot to do with that.”

Philadelphia, which trailed 73-65 late in the third quarter, went on a 9-0 run to take the lead early in the fourth, scor-ing on four consecutive trips down the court. Elton Brand’s dunk closed the gap to 73-67 entering the fourth. Holiday followed with a 3-pointer, Brand then hit a face-up shot and Turner scored as the 76ers went ahead.

The lead changed hands six times in the next 6 minutes, with neither team going ahead by more than three points until Holiday hit another 3 to give the 76ers an 89-83 advantage.

The Hornets cut the deficit to 89-87 on a pair of free throws by Jack and a floater by Jack after Gordon’s steal, but Holi-day responded with another 3-pointer at the 2:40 mark.

New Orleans center Emeka Okafor missed two free throws, and Holiday hit a leaner to give Philadelphia a 94-87 lead.

After Landry scored inside, Iguodala soared to the rim for an emphatic dunk to make the score 96-89. It was only his second basket in 10 shots.

Holiday sealed the vic-tory with a shot just inside the 3-point line with 36.6 sec-onds left as Philadelphia took its largest lead to that point, 98-89. The 76ers, who had zero points off turnovers through three quarters, scored 13 off six Hornets miscues in the fourth. Philadelphia also scored three baskets in the quarter on putbacks against the NBA’s leading rebound-ing team.

Bonanza of TrouBle

Removal of Landon plaque enrages fansCOLLINGSWOOD, N.J. (AP)

— There’s a bonanza of contro-versy and a big mess in a little New Jersey town over a deci-sion to move a plaque honoring hometown celebrity Michael Landon.

A bronze plaque was dedi-cated to the actor, writer and producer and star of TV’s “Bonanza” and “Little House on the Prairie,” who died of cancer in 1991 at 54. That plaque has been moved from a park, an act that has enraged fans who frequent a website dedicated to “Little House,” and the New Jersey woman who raised the money for the memorial 15 years ago.

Collingswood Mayor Jim Maley said it was a tempo-rary move meant to make a park safer, not a show of dis-respect for Landon, who had a famously rough childhood in the town and became best known for the characters he played on TV: Little Joe Cart-wright on “Bonanza,” Charles Ingalls in “Little House” and Jonathan Smith in “Highway to Heaven.”

“It was always intended to get put back in there,” he said. “It was not at the top of our list where it had to be done in the next 12 hours.”

Abbe Effron, who got the plaque put up in 1997, said the memorial became part of pil-grimages for traveling fans of the actor who spent a career playing sensible, loving, no-nonsense men.

A revived Collingswood is now known as perhaps Phila-delphia’s hippest suburb, full of art galleries, yoga studios, acclaimed restaurants and a hopping farmers’ market.

But when Landon — then known by his birth name, Eugene Orowitz — grew up there in the 1940s and 50s, it was a blue-collar, overwhelmingly protestant small town where a boy with a Jewish father and Roman Catholic mother had

trouble fitting in.In interviews and biogra-

phies, Landon’s childhood was always described as lonely and difficult. He was subjected to anti-Semitic taunts and teas-ing over his studious ways. His mother was suicidal. He was a bed-wetter into his teens and his mother would hang his wet sheets out the window of the home to embarrass him. By high school, as the story goes, Landon made a conscious effort to be a bad student but became a champion javelin thrower.

Effron, who now lives in nearby Cherry Hill, said that locals weren’t enthusiastic about contributing to her drive in the mid-1990s to honor the

native son. Her peers had been told by their parents about bad things he’d said about Col-lingswood on “The Tonight Show.”

But she did raise enough for the $1,400 plaque. And Landon’s widow, Cindy, contrib-uted more than $6,000 to build a playground dubbed “The Little Treehouse on the Prairie” near the plaque in one corner of sprawling Knight Park.

Since then, the playground, save a lone slide, has been replaced by a new one in a different part of the park. For years, the plaque, mounted on a knee-high cement slab, has been an isolated marker.

Mayor Maley said that during

a community cleanup day in November, he decided to move it.

“We decided it was a hazard,” he said. “People run through the park at all hours. You can’t see it.”

The plan was always to find a new home for it, he said. And in the meantime, it was at the town’s public works facility.

Effron was unhappy that the plaque ended up at the public works facility.

“To have it end up in a dump, that was a disrespectable thing to Michael’s family, his fans, and to me,” Effron said.

The plot thickened last week when the memorial, bearing a likeness of Landon with his lion-like 1970s hairdo, was delivered to the office of The Retrospect, a weekly newspaper.

In the paper, Maley was quoted as saying he had no plans for the plaque and that it could remain as part of a col-lection of local memorabilia in the paper’s office.

Maley said that’s not accurate. The paper’s publisher, Brett Ainsworth, was not available to comment Wednesday morning because he had jury duty, but he has previously stood behind the paper’s reporting.

Now, Maley said, police are investigating how the plaque got from the town’s possession to the newspaper’s.


Collingswood Mayor Jim Maley said it was a

temporary move meant to make a park safer,

not a show of disrespect for Landon, who had a

famously rough childhood in the town and became

best known for the characters he played on

TV.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A New York-based supermar-ket chain has had a change of heart about grounding Alec Baldwin as a spokes-man because of his antics ab o a r d a n American Air-lines flight.

Wegmans Food Markets said Wednes-day it will continue running television ads featuring Bald-win after being inundated with “hundreds and hundreds of tweets, e-mails, and phone calls” in support of the actor.

“We regret ending the Alec Baldwin holiday commercials one week earlier than planned in response to a couple of dozen complaints,” Wegmans said in a statement. “We have decided to run the commer-cials again, effective imme-diately. Clearly, many more people support Alec.”

Wegmans revealed Tues-day it had pulled the ads after drawing customer criti-cism about Baldwin’s behav-ior. He was removed from a New York-bound flight at Los Angeles International Airport on Dec. 6 for refusing to turn off his cell phone.

Carey says Cannon has kidney failureNick Cannon is spending the first week of the

new year in the hospital, with wife Mariah Carey by his side.

Carey tweeted that Cannon is suffering from “mild kidney failure.” His representative con-firmed Cannon’s hospitalization. He is in Aspen, Colo., where he and Carey were vacationing.

Carey posted a picture on her website of a mis-erable-looking Cannon in a hospital bed as she lay beside him. She asked for prayers and said Cannon’s situation was “very painful.” She later called it a “serious moment that’s very tough on all of us.”

The pair became the parents of twins — a boy and a girl — last year.

Cannon is 31. His representative had no further information Wednesday about his condition, but said he is still hospitalized.

Student hangs own painting in museum Art student Andrzej Sobiepan

didn’t want to wait decades for his work to appear in museums. So he took matters in his own hands, covertly hanging one of his paintings in a major Polish gallery.

By Wednesday, the young art-ist was getting plenty of atten-tion after a nationwide TV chan-nel reported on his stunt at the National Museum in the south-western city of Wroclaw. He told reporters he hoped galler-ies would give more exhibition space to young artists as a result.

“I decided that I will not wait 30 or 40 years for my works to ap-pear at a place like this,” Sobiepan told TVN24. “I want to benefit from them in the here and now.”

Sobiepan, a Wroclaw Fine Arts Academy student whose last name means “his own master,” said he was inspired by the elu-sive British graffiti artist known only as Banksy. His own painting is small, white and green, and partly uses swine leather to show a drooping acacia leaf.

On Dec. 10, Sobiepan put it up in a room with contemporary Polish art when a guard at the museum was looking the other way. Museum officials didn’t notice the new painting for three days.

Strict mother wins applause despite teen’s complaintsDear Abby: I was sure

“Emotionally Abused in Cal-ifornia’s” letter (Nov. 2) was inspirational, but fictional. The 15-year-old writer felt her mother was unreason-able because of the rules Mom enforced and the chores the teen was required to do. Then I started re-reading my high school diary. There were many parallels between this girl’s complaints and my own as a teen.

My mom also didn’t let me go to parties if she didn’t know the parents and confirm they’d be home; my curfew was 11:30 p.m. on weekends because Mom couldn’t sleep until I was in for the night. She always offered to host Friday pizza-and-movie night at our home to ensure my friends and I had a safe place to hang out.

Like Emotionally Abused, I also resented my lack of free-dom, but because of Mom’s efforts, I never had run-ins with the law, never got an STD or became pregnant, and I didn’t try drugs or alco-hol. When I expressed my frustration, Mom would say,

“When you’re a parent, you’ll understand.”

Now that I have two small children, I do understand. I hit the Mom jackpot! I’m grate-ful for her guidance, love and the boundaries she set for me. I’ll be sending her that column and a copy of this letter to you as a thank-you for making decisions that kept me grounded and safe. — Won the Jackpot in Michigan

Dear Won the Jackpot: When that letter hit print, I was overwhelmed with mail from readers supporting my response and sharing experi-ences that validated Emotion-ally Abused’s mom’s parent-ing techniques. I took special note of the responses from teens, which I’ll share tomor-row. Today, some comments from adults:

Dear Abby: It’s refreshing to know there are still par-ents who actually care about how they raise their children. Bringing a child into this world is a tremendous responsibility. It requires years of 24/7 vig-ilance, teaching and love to produce a moral, loving and productive pillar of our soci-ety. Some parents today do not take their responsibility seri-ously. How we raise our chil-dren will directly affect how we function as a society in the future. — Concerned Dad in Las Vegas

Dear Abby: I am a teacher of many spoiled, lazy, irrespon-sible and incompetent stu-dents. If all parents were as dedicated in rearing their chil-dren as this teen’s mother, my job would be wonderful. She has the necessary parenting skills to mold her child into a responsible, productive and mature adult. She’s an awe-some woman! — Teacher in Nashville, Ga.

Dear Abby: It’s about time parents raise their children appropriately. I grew up with much less than Emotionally

Abused, but with more rules and restrictions.

My mom divorced my phys-ically abusive father when I was 3. There was no alimony or child support. Mom did it all on her own. She even went back to school to get a college degree.

Parents are not meant to be their children’s BFF. They are responsible for raising their children with morals and social values. Welcome to the real world. — Jackson, Wis., Reader

Dear Abby: My l5-year-old daughter often gives me a hard time for being a dili-gent mom. I laughed out loud at your response and let her read it. She said, “Wow, that’s totally US with the exception of Catholic school.” She has started being nicer to me. Thanks, Abby, for validating my efforts to be a good mom. — Doing My Best in Colorado

Work with your doctorto end frequent migraines

Dear Doctor K: I’m plagued by frequent migraines. I take medications to treat the migraines once they’ve started, but I’d rather prevent them. Any suggestions?

Dear Reader: Migraines can be debilitating. The severe, throbbing headaches are typ-ically accompanied by nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite. Many migraine sufferers also develop blurry or distorted vision, or see pulsating lights or dark spots. Most migraines last from four to 12 hours, but they can last much longer.

Migraines can be triggered by certain activities, foods, smells, emotions or stress. And women often find that migraines worsen around their menstrual periods.

Not all migraine headaches can be prevented. But if you can identify your headache triggers and avoid them, this might help reduce how often you have migraines and how badly they hurt.

Common migraine triggers:• Caffeine.• Certain foods and drinks,

including those that contain tyramine (aged cheeses and meats, fermented drinks); sulfites (preserved foods, wines); and monosodium glu-tamate (MSG), a common flavor enhancer.

• Stress.• Hormone levels (affected

by menstrual cycles or medi-cation such as birth control).

• Lack of sleep.• Travel.• Changes in weather or

altitude.• Overuse of pain med-

ications.Even if you avoid all triggers,

you’ll probably still experi-ence an occasional migraine. And many people have severe migraines no matter how well they avoid triggers.

Some other things to look into include biofeedback, yoga, acupuncture, massage and regular exercise. One or more of these might help to prevent your migraines.

I also recommend talking to your doctor about preventive medications. These are pre-scription drugs taken every day to prevent migraines. Dif-ferent medicines are used to treat migraine attacks when they come.

Drugs to prevent migraine are all used more commonly to treat other conditions. They include beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhib-itors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), anti-seizure drugs, some drugs used for depression (in low doses), and the vitamin riboflavin.

You won’t find this recom-mendation from many author-ities, but I have found low-dose aspirin to help in preventing migraines in some patients. This has not been proven in a large, randomized study. And you should check with your doctor before starting aspirin,

since it can have side effects.Don’t be discouraged if you

have to try multiple preven-tive medications before you and your doctor find the best one for you. Most migraine patients can find treatments that reduce how frequently they get attacks and how severe they are.

If tomorrow is your birthday: Fortuitous times could be in the offing for you socially in the year ahead. There is a good chance that you will form and build a strong new alliance that will be the envy of all your present friends and associates. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You might profit for the mo-ment if you think solely of yourself, but sooner rather than later you’ll have to pay the price. Making it worse, your selfishness would be exposed in the process.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It would be best if you handle a problematical development rather than let your counterpart do so. His or her solutions could turn out to be a bit too reckless for you.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you’re smart, you’ll refrain from taking measures to even a score with a rival. Instead of being vindictive toward an offender, let the forgiving side of your na-ture guide your course of action.Aries (March 21-April 19) — Even if it’s not convenient at the moment for you to do a favor for a pal, find a way to do so anyway. To go out of your way for someone is the true test of friendship.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — First and foremost, be realistic about your financial situation. If you can definitely make a profit on something that is a bit of a gamble, fire your best shot.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Instead of simply ordering some-one about, set a good example first so that this person can see you’re not asking anything of him or her that you wouldn’t do yourself.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There is an old World War II saying: “Loose lips sink ships.” Let two friends who have confided in you know that they don’t have to worry about any leakage.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be careful if the ante gets raised in an important undertaking. All concerned parties might sudden-ly start looking out for their own interests when they find out there is something of real value at stake.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Weigh your gains carefully against what you could stand to lose. Have some second thoughts if the balance is unequal.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you are prepared to be self-suf-ficient, the failure of a counted-on party to take care of an en-trusted task won’t set you back. Grin and bear it.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — There’s a good chance that you might be called upon to clear up a dispute between two close friends. The only way you won’t get into trouble is to let each party see that you are truly impartial. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — That road that leads to suc-cess in an important objective is likely to be littered with all kinds of impediments. Be prepared to have an alternative route mapped out.

Dr. Wallace: The boy who sits next to me in English is popu-lar and a big flirt. Every day, he gives me a note asking me if I am a virgin. All I’ve done is toss the note into the wastebasket. I’m getting tired of his notes. If I answer him, do you think he will stop pestering me? — Nameless, Newark, N.J.

Nameless: Don’t answer his question. He has a lot of nerve to ask such a personal question. The answer is none of his busi-ness. No matter how you would answer his question, this guy would take it to the next level and start bombarding you with other questions you won’t want to answer.

Don’t accept a note if he hands it to you, and don’t look at it if he places it on your desk. Crumple it and dispose of it after class.

Dr. Wallace: My son is 13 and has always had difficulty learn-ing. When he gets a C in a particular subject, my husband and I are happy. He has been tested many times for various learning disabilities, but the result is always the same. He has a below-av-erage IQ.

Our son likes some of his classes, especially physical educa-tion. He’s not good in math, but he is a good athlete. If he can keep his grades up, he will be a good basketball and football player once he is in high school. Lately, his math teacher has been pulling him out of physical education to make him study harder for math. I don’t like this idea. Do I have a legitimate gripe? — Mom, Indianapolis, Ind.

Mom: Yes, you do! Contact the principal and chances are that this unacceptable practice will stop. If it does not, make an ap-pointment to speak with the district superintendent.

It’s noble that your son’s math teacher is interested in wanting your son to do better in math, but the help should not be at the expense of missing physical education.
